The present invention relates to a character arrangement structure and a character input method of a portable terminal.

More particularly, the present invention relates to a character arrangement structure and a character input method of a portable terminal for efficiently placing letters and vowels and consonants in the portable terminal.

In general, with the spread of portable terminals, the usage rate of short-term services using portable terminals is increasing day by day.

In order to transmit a short message using the portable terminal, the user switches the portable terminal to the short input mode and inputs a desired message. In the message input, a keypad used as a dial button in a telephone call mode is used as a keyboard for text input. Therefore, there is a need for a useful character input system that can easily input characters through a Korean keyboard such as a keypad of the portable terminal.

In general, the method used for inputting Hangul characters in a portable terminal is to input letters and vowels called 'Cheonjiin' individually and complete the letters by entering consonants and completed vowels individually, such as 'Ultiful Korean'. The method to use is used.

2 is a diagram illustrating a character arrangement structure of a portable terminal using a conventional 'Cheonjiin'. The 'Cheonjiin' input method distinguishes the buttons of consonants and vowels from the keypad of the portable terminal, and assigns 'ㅣ, ·, ㅡ' corresponding to vowels to '1,2,3' keypads, and '4 ~ 9'. , 0 'input the Hangul by assigning consonants. Meanwhile, 'ㄲ, ㄲ, ㅆ, ㅉ' can press the number three times consecutively. In the input of the vowel, all the vowels are composed of a combination of vertical lines (ㅣ), horizontal lines (ㅡ) and dots (·), so 'ㅏ' means '1-2' on the keypad and 'ㅓ' means '2-'. Enter it in the order that the letters are written. For example, to complete the letter 'my', you must press '5-1-2-1' consecutively, and to complete the letter '5', press '5-2-3-2-1'. You must press it continuously.

As described above, the Korean character input method using 'Cheonjiin' completes letters by a combination of consonants and vowels, and in particular, all three vowels can be represented by only three buttons.

However, if the initial letter and the initial letter are set to the same key, for example, if you enter a letter such as 'each', you enter 'a', which is the finality of each, To enter a 'you have to type the right arrow key or wait for the cursor to move. Therefore, up to three consonants and up to four vowels must be keyed.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a character arrangement structure of a portable terminal using a "first Korean". The principle of the supreme word is that the first input of the keyboard always starts with the consonant. This is not the case when entering the '#' button. And the first consonant of the first letter and the first consonant of the next letter must be combined with the vowel. At this time, the vowel selection is omitted.

In the 'first word', the consonants and vowels of the keypad of the portable terminal are regularly arranged on the keypad up to '1-0'. And input method is to input Korean by putting 'It' button and 'minus' button on '*' and '#' special keys.

The 'It' button enters the "*" keypad when combining consonants and vowels on the same keyboard, and the "Subtract" button skips the consonants and presses the '#' keypad first when selecting a vowel. For consonant sounds like ㅆ, ㅉ ', press the keypad three times in a row.

When entering consonants and vowels together, if each consonant and vowel are assigned to different keypads, press each keypad. For example, if you enter 'pegs', enter the '5-7-7' keypad.

However, if the consonants and vowels to be entered are assigned to the same keypad, enter the consonants and then enter the '*' keypad. For example, if you enter 'A', enter the '1- *' keypad.

As described above, the method of inputting Korean characters using 'Ultimate Hangul' is easy to input characters on the portable terminal because it is based on a combination of consonants and completed vowels and made on the basis of a unified keyboard.

However, you must wait for the cursor to move when the initial letter and the initial letter are on the same or the same keyboard. In addition, since consonants and vowels are set together on one keypad, there is a problem in that a copper wire is long when a character is input.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the problems described above, the vowel and the consonant are arranged on the keypad to distinguish between 19 consonants implemented by two keypad inputs, even if the initial letter and the initial letter of the back letter is the same The present invention provides a character arrangement structure and an input method of a portable terminal capable of continuous input.

As described above, in a portable terminal, a vowel and a consonant are arranged on a keypad by separating the vowels, and the vowels are set on the keypad so that the vowels are input by one keypad input, and the basic consonants of the consonants are input by one keypad input. And, ringing sound consonants are set on the keypad to be input by the same keypad input twice consecutive, the sound consonants and rough consonants of the consonants are set to the keypad to be input by the operation of the keypad and the specific keypad of the basic consonants To provide a character array structure of the portable terminal

In the character input method of a portable terminal, the vowel and the basic consonants are input by one keypad input, and the ringing consonants among the consonants are quickly battered by two consecutive operations of the keypad of the basic consonants and input like a keypad. The consonants of the consonants are input by the combination of the keypad and '*' keypad of the basic consonants, the rough consonants of the consonants are input by the combination of the keypad and '#' keypad of the basic consonants Is achieved by providing

With reference to the drawings will be described in more detail the character arrangement structure and input method of a portable terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.
