Computer input method

The computer input method using the computer input system described above is as follows. The configuration of the computer input system will also be clearer from the following description of the computer input method.

Referring to FIG. 3, first, a general word of the keyboard 31 is pressed to input a first word. For example, enter "S" by pressing the "\", "ㅗ" keys in sequence. Then, the word conversion key of the keyboard 31, for example, the Hangul conversion key, is pressed. Then, the control unit 33 receives the key press signal and executes the word conversion module 34, and the word conversion module 34 is registered in advance corresponding to the first word, ie, "small", from the boilerplate database 37. A second word is retrieved and outputted, for example, "Sori Java".

In this example, the first word and the second word have a relationship between the semiword and the main word. In addition, the relationship between the first word and the second word in the computer input method of the present invention can be set in various ways. Examples include first and second languages, words and word descriptions, words and special characters, incorrect and correct expressions, words and dictionaries.

The following are various examples of the first word and the second word.

(1) Seminar and Verse: "Hanjang" → "Korean Association of the Disabled"

(2) Korean and English: "Oishidi" → "OECD"

(3) Hangul and Hanja: "Sangchocho" → "四面楚歌"

(4) Hangul and Japanese: "Ihito" → "ぃ ぃ 人"

(5) English and explanation: "OECD" → "International Cooperation and Development Organization" (OECD)

(6) Chinese Characters and Explanations: "四面楚歌" → "Slope Choga"

(7) Japanese words and explanations: "ぃ ぃ 人" → "ぃ ぃ 人 (好人)"

(8) Korean and special characters: "Rhombus" → "◇"

(9) Korean and special characters: "km" → "km"

(10) Incorrect spelling and correct spelling: "probability" → "probability"

(11) Incorrect spacing and correct spacing: "can enter" → "can enter"

(12) Words and dictionaries: "patent" → "patent"

As can be seen in (2) and (5) in the above example, if you enter the word "slope sec" as the first word and press the word conversion key, it is converted into "四面楚歌". It is converted to thatch. (3) and (6), (4) and (7) are similar examples. The word conversion key may be divided into various keys according to the type of the second word. In the above example, (1) is Korean conversion key, (2) English conversion key, (3) Chinese character conversion key, (4) Japanese conversion key, (5) ~ (7) word explanation key, (8 ) ~ (9) can use special character keys, (10) ~ (11) spelling / offset keys, and (12) pre-conversion keys.

As in the above example, the first word and the second word automatically converted corresponding to the first word should be registered in the boilerplate database 37 in advance. The boilerplate database 37 includes a first word (commercial phrase) field and a second word (body content) field. When the word conversion key is composed of several types of keys, the boilerplate database 37 may have a table corresponding to each type.

As described above, when the user dictionary key of the keyboard 31 is pressed, the boilerplate registration module 35 is executed to insert, modify, or delete the first word and the second word in the boilerplate database 37.

4 is an exemplary view of a boilerplate registration screen in a computer input system according to an embodiment of the present invention. When the boilerplate registration module is executed, the boilerplate registration screen shown in FIG. 4 appears.

Click the 'Insert' or 'Modify' button at the bottom of the screen to create a 'Commercial Edit' window, and enter or modify the first word and the second word in the boilerplate field and the body content field, respectively. The 'search' button performs the same function as the above-described boilerplate search module, and the 'delete' button performs a function of deleting existing registered contents. In addition, the leftmost button at the bottom of the screen has a function of reading a separate boilerplate content as a file instead of registering a new boilerplate.

'Hangul' and 'English' at the top of the screen are for selecting tables for Hangul and English conversion, respectively. However, this is merely an example and may be configured to have various tables as described above.

As described above, the present specification and drawings have been described with respect to preferred embodiments of the present invention, although specific terms are used, it is only used in a general sense to easily explain the technical contents of the present invention and to help the understanding of the present invention.
