Setting Meaning: Combining alphabets so that the letters arranged on the keys are meaningful words to make it easier to memorize the keyboard.

All key input method: A method in which the alphabet is arranged in the form of words on one key with one key operation.

The present invention relates to a character input in a character input device and to a method for easily inputting a character.

An example of a text input device, such as a telephone and a mobile phone, is a representative means of communication of the people. It is now common to send and receive simple messages in addition to the voice call function, which is a main function of the related art.

However, the alphanumeric keys are difficult to key arrangement, so it is difficult to memorize the input time and memorize it unless it is memorized.

The conventional key arrangement method has helped to input alphabet letters to some extent by arranging in alphabetical order or simply in frequency order, but it has not been able to quickly find or easily memorize the keys themselves.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a keyboard that is easily memorized when a character is input in a character input device to facilitate character input.

According to the present invention, it is best to reduce the step of finding the key by quickly memorizing the arrangement of the keyboard. By setting the meaning in the alphabet, the user knows the words that most users already know by printing and arranging the words on several keys. Finding keys quickly makes it easy to type characters.

Using the words known in the present invention results in the character input customers naturally grasp the position of the alphabet in the word.

 On the other hand, since 9-12 real words are arranged on a key, many letters are inevitably duplicated in a real word.

As a result, the more important alphabet is exposed to the eyes of the character inputter, the easier it is to find the corresponding key when entering the character.

As a rule of thumb, it is a significant technological progress when we consider that finding a key takes more time than finding a key and manipulating the key directly.

Preferred embodiments will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, and detailed descriptions of well-known functions and configurations will be omitted.

The present invention uses a method of printing the alphabet set the meaning directly on the numeric keys to quickly find the character when entering the character.

In the detailed description and the embodiment of the present invention, uppercase and lowercase letters are used together, but they may be replaced.

1 is a general keyboard.

2 is a diagram illustrating the configuration of a numeric key according to a standard embodiment of the present invention in which a character corresponding to a name of a number is directly disposed on a numeric keypad of a mobile phone. When arranged in this way, the alphabetical arrangement is already in a state that is easy for customers to memorize, and thus has an efficiency that cannot be compared with the example of FIG.

  The present invention can easily memorize the exact position because the arrangement itself is a meaningful alphabet.

The following is an embodiment of the arrangement based on English, which is the most used language.

As it is a numeric name according to standard English, it can be understood if you have completed basic English education.

1 ant,

2 brow,

3 car,

4 deep,

5 fish,

6 give,

7 joy,

8 lake,

9 xmas,

0 quiz.

Referring to the meaning set in the present invention.

 Place the combination "ant" by setting the meaning of "ant" to the number key "1";

 Placing a combination of "brow" by setting the meaning of "brow" to the '2' numeric keys;

 A 'car' is placed on the '3' key by setting a meaning of 'car';

 Place a combination of "deep" on the '4' key by setting the meaning of "deep";

 Place a combination of "fish" by setting the meaning "fish" to the "5" number key;

 '6' key is placed in a combination of 'give' meaning of 'give';

 '7' is placed on the '7' key with the meaning of "joy" combined;

 Place the " lake " combined by setting the meaning of " lake "

 Place a combination of "x mas" on the '9' key by setting the meaning of "Christmas";

 If you place "quiz" combined by setting the meaning of "problem" in the "0" key,

In the present invention, an embodiment to be called "lucky phon" is completed.

When the word is placed on the numeric keys, it is easy to memorize the text by placing the letters on nine keys from 1 to 9, where the letters are traditionally arranged, and the input time is shortened as a result.

Of course, the 12 alphabets may be arranged in different positions or words having different meanings may be used.

A key part of the present invention is to set the meaning to facilitate memorization and break the industry stereotype of placing only one alphabetic character, allowing the alphabetical arrangement of the alphabet.

When the alphabets are arranged in duplicate, there are a plurality of methods for inputting, which is a positive part.

For example, if you need to enter 'i', you can double-tap the '5 fish' key to enter 'i' or 'give' twice, or press the '0 quiz' key three times. You can use one.

3 is another embodiment in which the meaning is set for the alphabet.

1 dear,

2 sweet,

3 have,

4 quiz,

5 joke,

6 be hap (py),

7 lucky,

8 ing,

9 from,

0 x

In this case, the vowel is used six times, 'o' twice, 'u' twice, and 'i' twice, and consonants c, k, and r are used repeatedly.

Referring to the meaning set in the present invention.

Set the meaning of " dear " to the number key "1", and place the combined " dear ";

Place the " sw ee t " combination by setting the meaning "sweet" to the '2' number key;

Place the combination " h a v e" on the '3' key, meaning "to have";

Place a " jok e" in combination with the meaning of "joke" in the '4'key;

Place the combination " b e ha p (py)" by setting the meaning of "happy" to the number 5 key;

Place the " sw ee t " combination by setting the meaning "sweet" to the '6' number key;

 Place a "lucky" on the '7' key by setting the meaning of "lucky";

 Place a combination of "ings" by setting the meaning of "continue" in the "8" key;

 Place a combination of "from" on the '9' key by setting the meaning of "from";

 If you place a combination of "x" s by setting the meaning of "no" in the "0" key,

In the present invention, an embodiment to be called "lucky phon" is completed.

Once the name of the input method is called "lucky phon", key 7 can be easily memorized.

One of the features of this embodiment is that 4-5 alphabets are arranged in many cases, but it is composed of words that are used a lot in text messages, so that the input time can be shortened when inputting to the back part at a time by using a function of a specific key. will be. You may find it convenient to use the "Enter all key characters" section below.

In the case of inputting at once, it is enough to press the key slightly longer than the normal input time, and special characters such as '*' key or '#' key may be assigned as a dedicated key for all key input methods.

4 is a flowchart illustrating character input according to an exemplary embodiment of FIG. 2.

According to the embodiment of FIG. 2 of the present invention, in order to input the text “Good”, the method may be initialized to the text mode (S41).

 Step 1 (S42) to enter by pressing the "6 give" key once to enter the first letter 'G'.

Then, press the "7 joy" key twice to enter the letter 'o' step 3 to input 'o' (S43).

In order to input the next letter 'o', step 3 of pressing the “7 joy” key twice to input “o” (S44).

 In order to input the 'd' step 4 by pressing the "4 deep" key once (S45),

  Step 5 (S46) to press OK key 'OK', and 'Good' input is completed.

 According to the present invention, a key may be constructed using the meaning of the corresponding language in an alphabetic language such as Spanish, French, Italian, Russian, Russian, etc., in addition to English.

In the present invention, since the important alphabets are naturally overlapped, the alphabets to be input can be quickly found and easily entered.

Vowels that pronounce 'a', 'e', 'yi', 'o', 'o', etc., which can be easily expressed in the structure of a human vocal organ in any language, are basic and important.

In the present invention, the important vowels are arranged in duplicate so that the vowels can be easily found at the time of input.

In addition, in the present invention, when the letters to be input are arranged as words on the keys, the number of key presses is reduced so that the letters can be input at once.

In the present invention, this input method is referred to as "key all input method".

The above-described "key input method" concept is as follows. "How to input at a time by a predetermined operation when the words required to enter the characters are arranged in one key"

For example, if you input "have", it is possible to input normally only 4 times of operation, but in "key input method", you can input by pressing the key once or twice.

The key to select the "key input mode" mode can be set by the '*' key or the '#' key, or a dedicated key can be created.

One embodiment of the "key all input method" is made of the following process.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a key all input mode is selected by pressing a predetermined key determined as a key all input mode when a character is input by pressing a numeric key.

The preferred embodiment includes the process of inputting all the alphabets arranged on the key when the key is pressed once in the key all input mode.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the key all input mode operates only once when inputting the corresponding letter, and then the input order is reduced and inputted in the order of the original letter from the next letter input.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a character input according to FIG. 3 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

To enter the letter 'from son' in the manner of the present invention

  Step 1 to initialize to the character mode (S51), '

 Step 2 (S52) of pressing the " 9 from " key for a predetermined time by inputting the first letter 'from' for a predetermined time.

In order to input the next letter 's', the third step of inputting 's' by pressing once on the “2 sweet” key (S53).

In order to input the next letter 'o', step 4 of inputting “o” by pressing twice from the “5 joke” key (S54).

 In order to enter the 'n' step 5 by pressing the "8 ing" key twice (S55),

Press the OK key 'OK' (S56)

This completes the entry of 'from son'.

In the input example of 'from son', when the alphabets are arranged in one key, the number of key presses is small so there is no reason to find and enter another numeric key again. This is because it takes more time and effort to find a new key than to press.

In the present invention, a naturally overlapped alphabet of words corresponding to the names of the numbers 1-9, 'a' is three times, 'e' is six times, 'i' is two times, 'o' is two times 'u' is used twice, consonants 'k' 'r' and 'h' are arranged in duplicate.

The above examples are only examples of the present invention, and the modifications may be included in the following claims.

As described above, the present invention can speed up text input.

Since the alphabet is arranged on the key according to the meaning, anyone can easily memorize it, so that the characters can be easily manipulated as if the numeric keys are dialed with the usual sense.
