Description
The present invention relates to a mobile device having a touch screen at the front side, and in detail, a keypad is disposed at both ends of the rear part, and an auxiliary keypad is disposed at both ends of the front part to place the thumb when gripping. The present invention relates to a mobile device having a touch screen capable of performing an input operation by operating an auxiliary keypad with a thumb and manipulating keypads at both ends of the rear surface with a remaining finger.
With the launch of the iPad at Apple in 2010, the tablet PC market is growing rapidly. Tablet PCs are still difficult to use for tasks that require high performance compared to laptops.However, tablet PCs become more powerful and tablet PCs can be used anytime, anywhere using wireless networks such as 3G networks and Wi-Fi. The sales volume is gradually increasing and gradually absorbing into the notebook market. In particular, commercially available tablet PCs have a full touch screen on the front, which attracts users with a simple design without a mechanical input device and intuitive touch screen.
However, since tablet PCs are largely overlapped with smartphones in terms of their purpose and performance, except for the screen size, if the tablet PCs do not respond appropriately, the tablet PC market may stop growing and slow down in the future. The first thing to consider in order to continue and grow the current growth beyond this situation is to increase the use of business beyond the entertainment and daily leisure of tablet PCs. In order to improve business use, the efficiency of document writing is increased, and the efficiency of document writing can be solved through the convenience of key input. The convenience of key input should be compatible with existing PCs.
The key input of the conventional tablet PC is performed by pressing the keypad displayed on the touch screen. The key input efficiency is very inferior to a notebook or a PC because the tablet PC is held by one hand and the keypad is pressed by the other hand. In addition, the tablet PC is put on both knees and input with both hands, but this input method is difficult to maintain posture when typing and the tablet PC is not fixed, so there is inconvenience in key input. As a result, many companies are releasing USB keyboards or external keyboards with a cradle function as input devices for tablet PCs for convenient key input.
However, the Tablet PC is a product that emphasizes portability, and it is inconvenient for the user to have an external input device for the convenience of key input. The problem is that it is very cumbersome to do.
The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a touch screen that can maximize the efficiency of key input when creating a document using a mobile device employing a full touch screen on the front It is to provide a mobile device provided.
In the above-described object of the present invention, in a mobile device having a touch screen at a front side, keypads are disposed at both ends of a rear side of the mobile device, and a plurality of functions are provided at portions where a thumb is placed at both ends of the front side. An auxiliary keypad comprising a button is disposed, and the touch screen is operated by operating the auxiliary keypad with a thumb while holding the mobile device with both hands and operating the keypads at both ends of the rear part with the remaining fingers. It is achieved by providing a mobile device having a.
In addition, the object of the present invention described above, the input method of the mobile device having a touch screen on the front surface, the step of displaying a virtual keypad on both ends of the front touch screen when the mobile device enters the input mode, and When the user's finger touches the text input keypads disposed at both ends of the rear part of the mobile device, or when the text input keypads at both ends of the rear part are pressed by the user's finger, the corresponding part of the virtual keypad is displayed differently or on the corresponding part. An indicator is displayed; a character is displayed on the touch screen when a character input keypad disposed at both ends of the rear part is completely pressed by a user's finger; and a thumb is placed when holding at both ends of the front part. Part of the user's thumb When pressed by the feature input method for a mobile device that includes a touch screen, characterized in comprising the steps executed it is achieved by providing.
In the present invention, the keypad is disposed at both ends of the rear part of the mobile device having a touch screen at the front part, and the auxiliary keypad is disposed at the part where the thumb is placed at both ends of the front part, so that the mobile device is held with both hands. When a user writes a document using a device equipped with a touch screen on the front side such as a tablet PC, the user can propose a subsidiary keypad with a thumb and a keypad on both sides with the other finger. It has the effect of entering characters very quickly and accurately.
In addition, the virtual keypad corresponding to the keypads on both ends of the rear part is displayed on the touch screen of the mobile device, and when the finger touches the keypads on both ends of the rear part or the keypads of both rear parts are pressed by the finger, the corresponding part of the virtual keypad is displayed differently. The indicator is displayed on the part, so that the user can easily know which character key is currently placed on his or her finger so that users who are not familiar with the arrangement of the buttons on the keypads on both sides of the rear panel can enter letters conveniently and accurately. have.
In addition, the user can arbitrarily change the arrangement of the buttons of the virtual keypad displayed on the touch screen of the mobile device, there is an effect that the character input can be more efficiently through the optimum arrangement configuration familiar to the user.
In addition, by forming a functional button constituting the front auxiliary keypad in a triangle and staggered form, the area occupied by the front auxiliary keypad can be reduced.
In addition, a virtual property conversion key is provided on the touch screen so that the function buttons constituting the front secondary keypad can perform functions other than the basic property. There is an effect that can be input accurately and quickly through the finger.
