Abstract

An apparatus for inputting Hangul consonants is provided to be applied to a small-sized key board or a keypad of a compact-multifunctional electronic device by enabling every Hangul character inputted through the limited number of keys. Seven consonant buttons include consonants of (gieok, kieuk), (nieun, rieul), (digeut, tigeut), (mieum, bieup), (gieut, chieut) and (ieung, hieut) combined based on similarity of the shape and handwriting of Hangul consonants and exceptionally combined (siot, pieup), respectively, and one function button is used to input double consonants. When each consonant button input signal is inputted by the odd number of times, the first consonant is recognized and expressed, and when each consonant button input signal is inputted by the even number of times, the second consonant is recognized and expressed. After the consonants gieok, digeut, bieup, siot and gieut are recognized and expressed, when the function button input signal is inputted, the consonants are converted into double gieok, double digeut, double bieup, double siot and double gieut and recognized and expressed.

Description

{Inputting Device for Korean Letters}

1 is a representative view (model) of a button-type Korean input system in a limited space of an information communication device (terminal).

≪ 2 > FIG. 2 is an application example of an input device in a PDA.

≪ 3 > FIG. 3 is an application example of an input device in a mobile phone.

≪ 4 > FIG. 4 shows an example of the use of the input device in the set top box.

5 illustrates an example of an input device in a hand held terminal.

6 is a schematic block diagram of a button-type Hangul input system according to the present invention.

Hangul is divided into phoneme, neutral, and phoneme, which is different from English, French, German, and Chinese except that each phoneme is alphabetically arranged one by one. , And two consonants are arranged in two dimensions to form a syllable.

≪ 8 > When a character is input to an electronic device, a simple one-dimensional character can be accomplished by only a relatively simple character input protocol since a single word is completed by ordering and offsetting the phoneme. For example, the word apple is a one-dimensional word that is input when you type a + p + p + l + e characters one by one. However, in the case of Hangul, it is necessary not only to be arranged two-dimensionally but also to be able to recognize the consonant in each syllable when two or more consonants other than Lee (ㅇ) are repeated as in the example of " You need to decide how to place it, and a more complex protocol is required because there can be essentially 14 consonants and a virtually infinite collection.

<9> As electric and electronic technology rapidly develops, various types of mobile phones, PDAs (Windows, Linux, Palm equipped OS) such as CDMA, PCS, TDMA, GSM, AMPS and IMT- There is an increasing need to input characters as the desire to express characters in various electronic devices such as game machines, remote controllers, set-top boxes, cameras, home appliances, and the like increases. In response to this, various methods (device) for inputting Hangul in a PDA and a smartphone with limited input space have been developed. The initial input device is the simplest. When all the consonants (chords) are displayed on the liquid crystal display device when the Korean input mode is set, the user selects the desired consonant by moving the cursor. Then, when a large number of vowels are displayed, It was a method of determining one syllable by selecting a desired vowel by using it. (Korean Patent Publication No. 99-24321). For the vowels, a so-called "vowel input method (device)" was developed and set up to extract the basic morpheme of each vowel, place the vowels in three buttons, and input all the vowels through their permutations Korean Patent Publication No. 97-2558).

<10> Consonant input method (device) is largely 1. Keyboard input method on PDA. This is a way of arranging consonants and vowels on a single screen like a computer keyboard on a PDA with a space problem. 2. A method (continuous arrangement type) of arranging all consonants in one key by two to three consecutive keys and determining one consonant corresponding to the number of times a specific key is pressed within a predetermined time. 3. The consonants A method in which two or three function keys are added to each of a plurality of function keys to select a consonant by pushing a function key within a predetermined time after a key in which consonants not arranged in the shape of the consonant are arranged is pressed And a method for extracting shapes (or symbols) common in shape and disposing them in respective keys and pressing the keys one to several times to select consonants by the permutation Permutation type).

<11> In the keyboard type input system, the number of all the keys exceeds 20. However, the touch screen on the PDA is limited space. Therefore, as you place all consonants and vowels in a limited space, each button is small, which is not only inconvenient to input, but it is also common that you press another key. Also, since each button is small in size, it is practically impossible to input manually.

<12> In the continuous arrangement type, since a plurality of phonemes are printed on a single key, not only the user is confused but also keeps watching the change of phonemes displayed on the display device as the key is pressed. There is a problem.

&Lt; 13 > The function key utilization type is disclosed in Korean Patent Publication Nos. 00-42231, 00-49346, 00-49347 and 00-54571. The technology based on these data assigns 6 to 7 representative consonants to each one key, and the above three universal vowel morpheme or six representative vowels are arranged in 5 to 6 new keys, respectively, and 1 to 3 function keys Is applied.

A phoneme not displayed on the <14> key is determined by pressing a predetermined number of function keys within a predetermined time after selecting a predetermined phoneme displayed on the key. In addition, the figure-type permutation type is a method of extracting shapes (or symbols) common in shape and arranging them in respective keys, and pressing these keys one to several times to select consonants by the permutation.

<15> Another input method is to assign all vowels to the keyboard. All vowels are placed on ten keyboards, and the basic consonants are assigned to each keyboard in duplicate. Therefore, the vowel input part has an advantage that it can be inputted faster than the other inputting part. In addition, it has a relative advantage in terms of recognition by placing a relatively large number of characters. However, consonants and vowels are arranged at the same time on a keyboard, so that continuous characters can not be input.

<16> Unlike this, the conventional input system is designed to input with one hand, and there is a system which can input with both hands. For example, if "a" is placed on keyboard 1 and "a" is pressed while "1" button is selected, "a" is input. Therefore, it is inconvenient to input while traveling on a subway or a bus.

The present invention eliminates the need for the user to memorize particularly consciously, and it is also possible for the user to reduce the consonants to 14 buttons consecutively to each button so that they are applied to 7 buttons (a, b, c, d, You can input Hangul in the same way as writing a pen with Hangul input body by button (key) and 3 vowel (ㅡ, ㆍ, ㅣ) and double consonant button. And to provide a device having the same.

(예)
"가" 라는 글자를 만들 시에는: ㄱ +ㅣ+ㆍ(7+3+2번 버튼)
"쌍둥이"라는 글자를 만들 시: ㅅ+쌍자음 버튼+ㅣ+ㆍ+ㅇ ㄷ+ㅡ+ㆍ+ㅇ ㅇ+ㅣ(8+쌍자음버튼+3+2+0 6+1+2+0 0+3)
본 발명은 사용자가 바로 글자를 인식하여 입력할 수 있는 시스템이다. 이것은 따라서, 사용자가 특별히 의식하여 암기할 필요가 없으며, 한글을 필기하는(handwriting) 방식과 같은 순서로 편리하게 한글을 입력할 수 있다. 또한, 한정된 수의 키(버튼)로 모든 한글을 입력할 수 있으므로 휴대전화 등 소형화-다기능화된 전자 기기에 소형 키보드 또는 키패드로 적용이 기대된다.
또한, 소위 천지인 자음타수 평균 1.89타/자, 버튼형 한글 입력 시스템 자음타수 1.53타/자, 소위 천지인 전체 평균 타수 2.500타/자, 버튼형 한글 입력 시스템 전체 평균 타수 2.375타/자로 버튼형 한글 입력 시스템이 많이 앞서가게 된다.
또한, 버튼형 한글 입력법은 쌍자음 버튼을 사용할 수 있기 때문에 기존에 보통 3~4번 버튼(키)을 눌러서 쌍자음을 입력할 필요가 없게 되었다. 가령 "ㄲ"를 입력하려고 할 시에, 보통의 입력 방식은 "ㄱ"이 속해 있는 버튼을 3~4번 눌러야 했지만 버튼형 한글 입력법은 "ㄱ"를 누른 뒤 쌍자음 버튼을 누르면 바로 쌍자음이 입력된다.
사람들은 보통 글을 읽을 시 왼쪽에서 오른쪽으로 읽는다. 이것이 더욱 직관적이기 때문이다. 이에 버튼형 한글 입력 시스템은 모음 3개(ㅡ,ㆍ,ㅣ)를 ㅡ, ㆍ, ㅣ에 배치함으로써 직관력을 높였다.
예를 들어, 한글 모음 21개(ㅏ,ㅑ,ㅓ,ㅕ,ㅗ,ㅛ,ㅜ,ㅠ,ㅡ,ㅣ,ㅔ,ㅖ,ㅟ,ㅝ,ㅞ,ㅚ,ㅙ,ㅘ,ㅢ,ㅒ,ㅐ)중, 모음 배치 "ㅣ, ㆍ, ㅡ" 보다 "ㅡ,ㆍ,ㅣ"가 빠른 모음수는 다음과 같다.
ㅡ,ㆍ,ㅣ: (ㅓ,ㅕ,ㅜ,ㅠ,ㅡ,ㅔ,ㅖ,ㅟ,ㅝ,ㅞ,ㅢ) 11개.
ㅣ,ㆍ,ㅡ: (ㅏ,ㅑ,ㅗ,ㅛ,ㅣ,ㅚ,ㅙ,ㅘ,ㅒ,ㅐ) 10개.
따라서, "ㅡ,ㆍ,ㅣ"의 모음 배치가 "ㅣ,ㆍ,ㅡ" 모음 배치보다 입력이 빠르다.
또한, 버튼형 한글 입력 시스템은 7번 버튼에 같은 형태인 "ㅁ,ㅂ", 그리고 0번에 같은 형태인 "ㅇ,ㅎ"이 들어감으로 인해, 사용자들은 더욱 더 직관적으로 자음을 입력할 수 있다.
본 발명은 특히, 핸드폰 상에서는 모든 버튼(key)를 적재 적소에 배치하여 타수를 최소화 하였으며, PDA상에서는 버튼(key)이 필요없이 터치패드에 의해 입력이 가능한 상황에 유용하다. 한글 자음 14개를 각 버튼에 축약시켜 놓아 7개 버튼에 적용한 7개의 버튼과, 한글 모음(ㅡ, ㆍ, ㅣ)또한 순차적으로 정렬되어 있어서 사용자가 보기에 간편하고 최소한의 교육만으로 입력이 가능하며, 필기를 하듯(handwriting) 자연스럽게 써 나갈 수 있다.In the input device according to the present invention, it is preferable to use a normal token for inputting vowels.
Examples of input devices to which the present invention is applied are shown in Figs. The following table shows a method of inputting consonants (button operation) according to the present invention, and an example is an example of inputting words in the input device according to the present invention. The 'double consonant button' in the table means 'function button for input of double consonant sound' in the present invention.

(Yes)
When you create the letter "a": A + ㅣ + (7 + 3 + 2)
When you create the word "twins": ㅅ + paired consonant button + ㅣ + + + + ㅡ + + + ((8+ consonant button + 3 + 2 + 0 6 + 1 + 2 + 0 0 +3)
The present invention is a system in which a user can immediately recognize and input characters. This means that the user does not have to be particularly conscious and memorized, and can conveniently input Hangul in the same order as the handwriting method. In addition, since all Hangul characters can be input by a limited number of keys (buttons), it is expected to be applied to a miniaturized-multifunctional electronic device such as a cellular phone as a small keyboard or a keypad.
Also, the average number of consonants of the so-called consonants is 1.89 / character, the button type Hangul input system consonants 1.53 / person, the average total number of the people 2.500 / person, the button type Hangul input system average 2.375 / I will be ahead.
In addition, since the button-type Hangul input method can use the double consonant button, conventionally, it is not necessary to input the double consonant by pressing the button 3 to 4 (key). For example, when you try to input "ㄲ", the normal input method requires you to press the button to which "a" belongs three or four times, but when you press "a" .
People usually read from left to right when reading. This is because it is more intuitive. Thus, the button - type Hangul input system improves intuition by arranging three vowels (-, -, ㅣ) in ㅡ, ㅣ, ㅣ.
For example, there are 21 Korean vowels (a, ㅑ, ㅓ, ㅕ, ㅗ, ㅛ, ㅜ, ㅠ, ㅡ,,, ㅔ, ㅖ, ㅟ, ㅞ, ㅞ, ㅚ, ㅙ, ㅘ, ㅢ, ㅒ, ㅐ ), Vowel arrangement "ㅣ, ∙, ㅡ" is faster than "ㅡ, ㅣ, ㅣ".
ㅡ, ㅣ, ㅣ: (ㅓ, ㅕ, ㅜ, ㅠ, ㅡ, ㅔ, ㅖ, ㅟ, ㅝ, ㅞ, ㅢ) 11.
10, ㆍ, ㅡ: (a, ㅑ, ㅗ, ㅛ, ㅣ, ㅚ, ㅙ, ㅘ, ㅒ, ㅐ) 10.
Therefore, the vowel arrangement of "-, -, ㅣ" is faster than the "-, -, ㅡ" vowel arrangement.
In addition, the button-type Hangul input system allows the user to input consonants more intuitively because the "7" button has the same form "ㅁ, ㅂ", and the same type "ㅇ, ㅎ"
In particular, the present invention minimizes the number of bats by arranging all the buttons in the right place on the mobile phone, and is useful in a situation where the user can input by the touch pad without using a key on the PDA. Seven buttons and Korean vowels (ㅡ, ㆍ, ㅣ) applied to 7 buttons are arranged in order so that users can easily input and input with minimum training. You can write it handwriting naturally.

The user does not need to memorize and memorize specially, and it is possible to conveniently use Hangul in the same order as the handwriting method. In addition, since it is possible to input all Korean characters with a limited number of keys, it is expected to be applied to portable devices such as a cellular phone or to a miniature keyboard or keypad for multi-functionalized electronic devices.

In addition, the button-type Hangul input system provides familiarity to users by providing a character array that is familiar to users.
