The method to input character in touch screen}

The present invention relates to a text input method using a touch screen used when inputting text through a mobile phone. In particular, according to the trend of mobile phones, in which the touch screen is generalized due to the use of smartphones, a 3-column and 3 rows of strings are provided on the touch screen, and touch and drag to select the Korean alphabet, the English alpha bat, and release and drag the touch. The present invention relates to a character input method using a touch screen for inputting characters in a method of determining Korean alphabet and English alpha batter by returning to the start touch keypad.

In recent years, according to the craze of smart phones, the method of inputting characters through existing key buttons has been difficult to apply to smart phones on a touch screen. Therefore, a character input method for forming a separate character string on the touch screen and forming Korean, English, and special characters in various forms has been developed.

Such a touch screen is a touch pad formed on the display unit to perform a function. In other words, the touchpad allows the invisible infrared rays to flow up, down, left, and right so that a large number of square grids are formed on the screen. Such a touch screen is typically installed in a PDA (Persnal Digital Assistant), but as various devices become a GUI (Graphic User Interface), navigation, point-of-sale (POS) devices, and automatic teller machines (ATM) are provided. ), It is widely applied to electronic devices such as PMP (Portable Multimedia player) and mobile communication terminal. The touch pad recognizes traces through various physical quantities flowing on the touch screen, and various methods, such as a change in voltage and a difference in resistance, are used.

Conventionally, in the case of a mobile phone having such a touch screen, in adopting a method of inputting the character, there is a need to differentiate the method from the method of inputting a character through a conventional key button. The physical compartment is not clear except that it is hard to feel a click like a key button and the part of the area is visual.

In addition, in order to provide various functions such as the use of the Internet and photo editing, the size of the touch screen is quite different in size compared to the key button pad of most handsets. After all, various text input methods have been proposed to solve these problems, but they have not been very effective.

The present invention relates to a text input method using a touch screen used when inputting text through a mobile phone. In particular, according to the trend of mobile phones, in which the touch screen is generalized due to the use of smartphones, a 3-column and 3 rows of strings are provided on the touch screen, and the touch and drag selects the Korean alphabet and the English alpha bat, and releases and drags. The present invention relates to a character input method using a touch screen for inputting characters in a method of determining Korean alphabet and English alpha batter by returning to the start touch keypad.

The present invention relates to a character input method using a touch screen.

Therefore, the input method of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 16.

As shown in the figure, the present invention comprises a first step; When the character input mode is selected, input is started while displaying a character string composed of a consonant, a vowel, and a vowel combination symbol "·" on a touch screen. And a second step; When selecting a character, the Hangul input method is configured, including selecting and confirming consonants and vowels for input by touching, dragging, and interrupting the touch, wherein the character string is a constant distance from the electronic touch screen to consonants and vowels. The consonants are divided into a plurality of keypads 10 through the dividing line 1 or an area, and the consonants are again constant within the keypad 10 in which two or three consonants are divided through the dividing line 1 or an area. The virtual classification is made by distance and interval, and Hangul is input by selecting and confirming Hangul characters through touch, dragging, and interruption of touch.

It explains in detail.

[Step 1]

When the character input mode is selected, a character string consisting of a consonant, a vowel, and a vowel combination symbol "·" of Korean characters is displayed on a touch screen. That is, it enters the mobile phone mode for entering characters. In the case of a smartphone, it may be entered through a separate button switch to the outside or through a touch screen. When the user enters this mode, the Hangul input mode is selected so that a string consisting of consonants and vowels appears on the touch screen. This string can be formed in various forms. It is not necessary to specify it in particular, and it is preferable to distinguish between vowels and consonants. In the case of vowels, "·", which can combine vowels, and "l", "-", which are basic vowels, are distinguished and expressed.

[ 2nd step ]

Next, the present invention is a second step; When the character is selected, the character is input through the step of selecting and confirming consonants and vowels for input by touching, dragging, and stopping the touch. That is, according to the special form of the touch screen, the character is inputted only by a method of dragging to the other side in a state where the end is interviewed on the touch screen through a light touch and a finger or a stylus without a special input by clicking. do.

In this case, it is preferable that the character string for input is divided into a plurality of keypads 10 through the dividing line 1 or an area by a certain distance in the electronic touch screen with consonants and vowels. Although physical division is not particularly partitioned like a key button of a conventional cellular phone, it is to distinguish visually partitioned consonants and the vowel and vowel combination symbols "·". In the case of Hangul consonants, it consists of 14 words such as "ㄱ, ㄴ, ㄷ, ㄹ, ㅁ, ㅂ, ㅅ, ㅇ, ㅈ, ㅊ, ㅋ, ㅌ, ッ, ㅎ". Since it is difficult to give them a separate keypad 10 to give them all the dividing line 1, it is preferable to arrange them on one keypad 10 by tying a plurality of them together, but there is no law that must be specifically tied to each other. . In the case of similar consonants, it is desirable to select a key arrangement which can be arranged together on one keypad 10 so that the user can recognize and memorize faster when using it.

For this purpose, the fourteen consonants are such that two or three consonants are located within the keypad 10 separated through the dividing line 1 or region, but within the same keypad 10 again virtually at a constant distance and interval. It is desirable to make a distinction so that the distinction between different consonants can be made clear. The touch screen of the present invention has positional information that is virtually invisible. It is divided into "x" axis and "y" axis, and separate positions are data at regular intervals, thereby forming invisible division. The user visually recognizes the area of each keypad 10 through the dividing line 1, but the control unit inside the smartphone is not only the position of the dividing line 1 but also separate binarized by position even within the same keypad 10. We know location data. Therefore, a plurality of Hangul consonants are displayed in the keypad 10 of the present invention, but these are also classified separately so that the control unit can clearly distinguish the positions.

Basically, in the character input method of the present invention, when a character is selected by touching a character on the keypad 10, the character is first selected and then dragged to move to another character on the same keypad 10. The character string on the moved keypad 10 can be input again in such a manner that the character string on the moved keypad 10 is selected and confirmed again. At this time, the method of dragging is also important. In the present invention, a character can be input while being dragged in eight directions from a keypad that is the center. That is, when the watch is viewed in the direction of the clock approximately, it is selected between the four directions, such as 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock, 9 o'clock, 12 o'clock, and 1 o'clock between the four directions. It includes half, 4:30, 7:30, and 10:30 directions. Of course, the eight directions do not coincide perfectly with the stated time angle of the clock, but the input characters are selected by roughly dragging in that direction.

The following describes in more detail the input method of the present invention and the basic law of the string to be arranged for it.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the character string described in the first step is composed of nine keypads 10 divided into three columns and three rows through the division line 1 or the division area. That is, the present invention proposes a form in which nine keypads 10 can be formed by dividing the string into division lines 1 and dividing the string into three rows and three rows. In the keypad 10, first, two keypads 10 of "|" and "-" are selected. And the vowel combination symbol "." Is given a separate independent keypad 10. On the other hand, "A, B, C, D, K, K, K, K, K, K, K, K, K, K, H", which are Korean consonant strings, have a total of 14 separate keypads (10). Although not granted, a plurality of character strings and one vowel combination symbol are selected on nine keypads 10 so that a plurality of ones can be selected on one keypad 10. A vowel and a vowel combination symbol are selected on a total of three keypads 10, and a start touch keypad 20 having no expression of a character at the center is selected. Consonants are divided and selected.

It is desirable that the rules of selection follow. That is, the nine keypads 10 are composed of a central keypad of the start touch keypad 20 and one keypad 10 each of "·", "ㅣ", "-", and the consonant strings are "a, b". , ㄷ, ㄹ, ㅁ, ㅂ, ㅅ, ㅇ, ㅈ, ㅁ, ㅋ, ㅌ, ッ, ㅎ "are selected to form one keypad 10 each, and 3 of the consonant strings are not selected. Two of the last one keypad (10) is made of a total of nine. The keypad 10 formed at the center of the nine keypads 10 is divided into the start touch keypad 20 so that the finger can maintain the touch, and the total of fourteen consonants are selected by being divided into the five keypads 10. will be. A total of 14 consonants cannot be accurately divided on the five keypads 10. Four keypads 10 can hold three consonants, but one keypad 10 should be selected two. Therefore, in the present invention, there are four keypads 10 each having three consonants, and one keypad 10 having only two consonants.

Looking at the consonant string in more detail, the consonant string may be represented by (ㅊ, ㅅ, ㅈ); (ㅍ, ㅁ, ㅂ); (C, b, b); It is preferable to be partitioned by the keypad 10 separated by (ㅋ, ㄱ, ㄹ) and (ㅇ, ㅎ). The reason for this classification was to combine the consonants with similar sounds, and to select one consonant to form another consonant by applying one stroke to the basic consonant. That is, the most basic consonants in the consonants on the keypad 10 divided into three and two are "s", "b", "a" and "o" located in the center. Consonants on the left and right sides may have sounds similar to the basic consonants or may be similar consonants in shape. Of course, there are consonants that can be made by adding strokes. After all, Hangeul has been changed into an easy-to-speak form through its mouth for a long time, and thus the arrangement of the keypad 10 cannot be distinguished through a particularly perfect standard and law. Only the easiest way to display all the consonants and vowels of Hangeul and create an array of characters for them.

"과 같은 형태로 제작하거나 또는 "

"과 같이 직사각형으로 배열될 수 있도록 한다. Then look at the form of a more detailed arrangement of the string directly carried out by the applicant of the present invention. According to the present invention, the nine keypads 10 divide the keypad 10 in which the partition of the dividing line 1 is horizontally and vertically divided into a somewhat square shape, as shown below.

"Or in the form of"

So that they can be arranged in a rectangle

In the former case, as shown in (a) of FIG. 1, it is possible to occupy a part on a touch screen of a smartphone manufactured in a generally rectangular shape. And the other side can be used as the input character display panel 30 is displayed characters are input so that the user can check while typing the characters. On the contrary, in FIG. 1 (b), the keypad 10 is also arranged in the shape of a rectangle like a touch screen of a smartphone for the same shape.

This invention can accommodate all the above cases and can use it suitably.

Then, through the input method of the present invention, a more accurate rule of inputting Korean characters and direct input of characters using the same will be described through the embodiments. In the present invention, the selection of letters consisting of consonants and vowels is performed by dragging to the letter requiring selection or the first touch on the start touch keypad 20, and the first selection of the letters is formed, and the touch is released or started by dragging. Basically, the character is decided by moving to the touch keypad 20. Then, by moving to another character direction by dragging after the first selection, the consonant is determined as a consonant for inputting the dragged consonant, and dragging toward the vowel sets the dragged vowel to the first selected consonant. Confirm with the combined characters.

In detail, the present invention structurally allows all characters to be input by only touching and dragging. Although the character arrangement of the keypad 10 required for this has been described above, one of the important keypad 10 is the start touch keypad 20. The start touch keypad 20 recognizes the consonant or vowel to be input and the start of the input. That is, a person who wants to input a Hangul character firstly touches a finger or a stylus on the start touch keypad 20 so that the controller recognizes it as the start of the character input.

To describe the basic rules of the present invention, if the user touches the end of the finger or stylus at each consonant and vowel position of the displayed character string in the Hangul character input mode, the character is correctly received and the control unit inputs the display panel 30. To be expressed. In the same manner, there is a method of inputting a character into the input character display panel 30. First, the user touches the finger or stylus on the start touch keypad 20 and drags the other keypad 10 positioned in eight directions. Move toward). Then consonants or vowels on the keypad 10 are displayed on the input character display panel 30.

That is, a method of directly touching consonants, vowels, and vowel combination symbols displayed on the touch screen, and dragging toward another keypad 10 while being touched by the start touch keypad 20 on the dragged keypad 10. Consonants, vowels, and vowel combinations are recognized as characters for input

There is another important point here. In the case of a vowel and a vowel combination symbol, there is no problem of selection because one symbol and a vowel exist on one keypad 10, but in the case of the consonant keypad 10, three and two consonants exist. In this case, the problem is that the consonant on the dragged keypad 10 selects and confirms the consonant as the input consonant. When selecting consonants with a direct touch through a finger or stylus, there is no difficulty in selecting the consonants in the keypad 10 because there is a certain distance from each other. This is because drag adjustments are clumsy, which can lead to errors.

To this end, the present invention implicitly selects a basic consonant even when a plurality of consonants exist on one keypad 10. That is, in the illustrated figure, "s", "x", "b", "a" and "o" are located at the center on the keypad 10. That is, when the drag is moved onto the keypad 10 in which the consonants are displayed, first, the smartphone controller recognizes the basic consonants. And if the drag on the same keypad 10 is moved again to the left or right, the control unit recognizes that another consonant located in the dragged direction should be input. As an example, FIG. 2 illustrates a method of selecting a basic consonant of the present invention. 1 to 4 of FIG. 2 illustrate a method of selecting a basic consonant. First, a finger or a stylus is touched by the start touch keypad 20, and then moved onto a keypad 10 having respective basic consonants and then returned again. When a method is taken, the control unit determines and displays the basic consonants of the dragged keypad 10 as input characters at the moment the finger returns to the start touch keypad 20. In this case, even if the user drags only the position of the basic consonant on the keypad 10 to the position of the basic consonant and then releases the finger, the present invention may recognize the consonant of the position where the last touch is maintained as the selection and confirmation of the input character. It can be used together.

However, if it is desired to select other consonants on the same keypad 10 by dragging the basic consonants as shown in FIG. 3, dragging is also required on the same keypad 10. Looking at the embodiment through ① and ② in Figure 2, in the case of ①, the user drags from the start touch keypad 20 to the keypad 10 with the basic consonant "s", and then the lower (based on the drawing shown) After descending to drag "", and returned to the start touch keypad (20). As a result, the control unit does not determine "s", which is the basic consonant of the keypad 10, as an input character, but determines "ㅈ" as an input character. At this time, it is difficult to stop the stop in the process of dragging the finger of the person accurately, even if you go over to another keypad 10 at the bottom is not a big problem. According to the present invention, the empirical rules according to the drag method using a human finger are statistically calculated through various implementation experiences according to this rule, and the deviation from the degree is enough to properly combine the dragged direction and distance. Dragging doesn't misjudge the user's intentions.

On the contrary, in the case of ② in FIG. 2, the control unit recognizes and inputs the input character by returning to the start touch keypad 20 by dragging from the basic consonant “” to the upper part (based on the drawing shown).

As a result, the first selection of the character is made by dragging the character to the character requiring selection in the start touch keypad 20. At this time, to confirm the input character, the character is generated in the state of releasing the dragged finger after the selection or returning to the start touch keypad 20. In addition, the determination of the input character may be possible by generating a touch directly on the keypad 10 arranged as described above.

In other words, in the process of selecting a character by dragging, after the first selection, the character may move to another character direction by dragging again and may undergo reselection and confirmation. In the case of consonants, a plurality of consonants may be selected on one keypad 10. Therefore, after the consonants are moved from the start touch keypad 20 and there is a drag for selecting the basic consonants, the process of reselecting the other consonants by dragging on the same keypad 10 without returning to the start touch keypad 20 is selected. This can be. The reselection is performed by the control unit to determine the input character of the last dragged consonant on the keypad 10 by returning to the start touch keypad 20.

On the contrary, a plurality of vowels cannot be selected on the same keypad 10 through the character string structure of the present invention. Thus, dragging toward a vowel is intended to determine the dragged vowel as a character that combines the vowel with the first selected consonant. It will be described in detail with reference to Figs. 4 to 8 shown in order to clarify this.

That is, Fig. 4 shows four character input embodiments, ① to ④. ① is an embodiment of displaying the Korean vowel “ㅓ”, but may be displayed by simply touching “·” and “ㅣ” sequentially, but using the drag method, the start touch keypad 20 is first displayed. Touch and drag to the " · " keypad 10 to select an input character first, then again to the " | " keypad 10 to the right to select " ㅣ " ), Select and confirm the input character "ㅓ". Of course, when this process is completed, "ㅓ" is displayed on the input character display board 30 (shown in FIG. 4). However, in the present invention, the Korean vowel “ㅓ” may be expressed separately in the following manner. That is, the method of using the ear canal drag, first, the finger or stylus starting from the start touch keypad 20 is raised to the "10" keypad 10 and downwards to the start touch keypad 20, and then again the keypad ( 10) Ascending towards "ㅣ" and returning.

In another embodiment, a method of displaying Korean vowel “모음” is described. First, a method of directly touching the keypad 10 is displayed. By selecting " ㅣ " by touching and releasing the " ㅣ " keypad 10 with the finger or the end of the stylus, touch ". &Quot; again to complete the Hangul vowel "

Second, as shown in FIG. 4, first, as shown in FIG. 4, the user first touches the start touch keypad 20 with his or her finger and ascends toward the keypad 10 and moves toward the left keypad 10. After that, the Hangul vowel “” is selected and confirmed by returning downward toward the first start touch keypad 20.

Thirdly, by using a drag method, first, the user touches the start touch keypad 20 with his / her finger and ascends toward the keypad 10 and then returns to the start touch keypad 20 to select “ㅣ”. After confirming, the finger ascends toward " · " keypad 10 again and returns to the start touch keypad 20. The " " "To complete.

The present invention can be used independently of the three types of implementation methods as described above, can be used at the same time by learning the three methods through the user's habits according to the user or need.

The expression method of these input characters can be used to express more various vowels. An example of its use will be described with reference to FIG. 5. 5 shows a method of displaying a double vowel, and looks at the embodiment of ① of ① to ③.

First, the method of displaying the input bar "ㅛ" by touching first touches "-" keypad 10 and touches "-" keypad 10 while touching "-" keypad 10 again. You can input it in a way.

Second, through the drag method from the start touch keypad 20, the drag goes through the "·" keypad 10 and the start touch keypad 20, and goes back to the "·" keypad 10 again, the "-" keypad at the bottom After dragging (10), the method returns to the start touch keypad 20 and determines the Hangul vowel “ㅛ” as an input character.

Third, another method of dragging is to drag the start touch keypad 20 and " · " twice each and drag the "-" keypad 10 on the left side to return to the start touch keypad 20. FIG. .

6 to 8 show the same vowels respectively through other embodiments of the drag method, so the second and third methods described above are easy to understand with reference to this figure.

An embodiment of a method of displaying both consonants and vowels only through the Hangul character input method of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 9. 9 is a method of displaying the Hangul characters "Go" which are perfectly provided with consonants and vowels. Although only the second and third methods of the above-described dragging method are shown, the first method and the vowel can be used.

① is the third method. First, after dragging to the keypad 10 of the character string of the consonant "a" is displayed according to the Hangul character input order, return to the start touch keypad 20 to select and confirm the input consonant "a". Next, drag the "·" keypad 10 to return to the start touch keypad 20, and again to the "-" keypad 10, return to the start touch keypad 20 to complete the input Korean character ". High ".

② is the second method. First, after dragging to the keypad 10 of the character string of the consonant "a" is displayed according to the Hangul character input order, return to the start touch keypad 20 to select and confirm the input consonant "a". Next, after dragging to the "·" keypad 10 and dragging downward toward the "-" keypad 10 at the bottom, returning to the start touch keypad 20 and completing the completed input Korean character "Go". to be.

10 and 11 illustrate a method of describing the Hangul characters "Hun" and "Gya" which have up to the support of the Hangul characters. This method may follow all of the above-described input methods. 12 illustrates a method of expressing a unique consonant (= consonant) in a Hangul consonant, which is also possible by following the above-described rules.

Something unusual in the system of Hangul consonants is the twin consonants. It refers to consonants such as "쌍", double consonants, and "ㄹ", which is used as a support in the letters "chicken." Such a consonant is also possible by following the aforementioned rules. In particular, to limit and subdivide this, the selection of the double consonants is possible by following the law of selecting the consonants through touch and drag and then selecting the next consonants through touch and drag.

12 shows a method of inputting a Korean character "to" in (a), and (b) shows an input method of "ㄸ" which is a consonant. The display method is described through (a), but only the third method is described.

First, the drag starting from the start touch keypad 20 is the same as the keypad 10 having the basic consonant "b", then rises to select the letter "c", and repeats the process of returning to the start touch keypad 20 twice. Select and confirm the consonant "함으로". Next, a character is completed by dragging the "*" keypad 10, the start touch keypad 20, and "-".

The law of the embodiment of the character input method of the present invention can be extended to the following rules. First, in the above-described rule, the first selection of a character is formed by dragging to the character requiring selection or the first touch on the start touch keypad 20 or 20, and starting by releasing or dragging. Based on the determination of the character by moving to the touch keypad 20, "the primary selection and the determination were divided. For the above determination, a method of releasing the touch of the start touch keypad 20 or the touch after the direct touch is used.

Next, the display method of consonants and vowels will be selected and described, and "by moving to another character direction by dragging after the first selection, consonants will be determined as consonants for inputting the dragged consonants". The drag method of selecting consonants other than the basic consonants has been described.

In addition, through the description that "by moving to the direction of another character through the drag after the first selection, the drag toward the vowels is to determine the dragged vowels as the combined vowels with the first selected consonants". We decided how to display by dragging and the process of combining with the selected consonants.

That is, after selecting the consonants, select the vowels by dragging to complete the characters. However, in the Hangul system, there may be multiple selections of the consonants and multiple selections of the vowels.

That is, the contents have already been explained through this rule, but the contents are further defined as follows. Since the rules for the double consonants have been described, the rule for combining a plurality of vowels is dragged to the keypad 10 composed of "·", "ㅣ", and "-" in the order of the vowel writing strokes of Korean characters. To finalize the vowel.

That is, as a method of displaying "ㅐ", which is the embodiment ② shown in FIG. 5, first, "ㅣ", after touching the keypad 10, the "." Keypad 10 and the "ㅣ" keypad 10 are sequentially There is a method in which the controller recognizes the Hangul vowel “” by touching it.

Second, as shown in Fig. 5 shown in the drawing method by touching the "|" keypad 10, drag the "." Keypad 10 on the left side after the touch and return to the start touch keypad 20, and again "&Quot;" As a method of returning to the start touch keypad 20 after dragging the keypad 10, the controller can recognize the Hangul vowel “한글”.

Third, as described above, touch the " ㅣ " keypad 10 through dragging to return to the start touch keypad 20, and again drag ".&Quot; (10) As a method of returning to the start touch keypad 20 after the touch, the controller recognizes the Hangul vowel “모음”.

Fourth, in the extended input method described below, touch the "ㅣ" keypad 10, then touch the left "·" keypad 10, touch and drag the "ㅣ" keypad 10 again, then touch the start touch keypad ( As a method of returning to (20), there is a method for the controller to recognize the Hangul vowel “ㅐ”.

As a result, the foregoing second to fourth schemes are merely one application of the rules of the present invention. The rule for combining a plurality of vowels according to the Korean vowel system is to drag the vowels according to the vowel order of each keypad 10 consisting of "·", "ㅣ", and "-". It can be.

In addition, the present invention, as shown in Figure 16, the touch screen forming the start touch keypad 20, it is preferable that the input characters can be displayed. This is because inputting a text while the user recognizes through the time the process of selecting and confirming a text enables a more accurate description. Character display in the start touch keypad 20 is also preferable as described above, apart from the display of the input character display panel 30.

Next, the conversion of the mode in the present invention is shown in detail in FIG. 13, where the conversion of the mode is performed by dragging all lines of the keypad 10 to lowercase letters, uppercase letters, and special characters. The method can be used. In the same manner, the method may be converted into lowercase letters, uppercase letters, and special characters in English by dragging in the start touch keypad 20 in a circular manner.

In FIG. 13 (a), when using the Korean character input and touching and dragging all the strings in one line, the controller recognizes this and decorates it in the English uppercase mode (b) or the lowercase mode (c) or It converts to a special character mode not shown. Based on the illustrated drawing, if the method of dragging all the character string keypads 10 in one line is converted to the uppercase alphabetic mode from the Korean character input mode, and then converted to the lowercase alphabetical input mode or the special character input mode. Will be.

In the same manner, when the drag that rotates in a circle in the start touch keypad 20 is performed, a mode change can be performed.

Spaces are also important when entering characters. For this, both English and Korean need the space. In order to input such a space, the space may be selected by dragging both keypads 10 in the string from left to right, or by dragging left to right in the start touch keypad 20. desirable. FIG. 15A illustrates this embodiment in detail. The method of dragging the two rows of keypads 10 from left to right and the method of dragging from left to right within the start touch keypad 20 is the same. The result can be taken.

Similarly, the backspace can be taken as the inverse of the space input method. In other words, the backspace is selected by dragging the keypads 10 in the two rows from the right to the left or by selecting the backspace from the right to the left in the start touch keypad 20. This embodiment is illustrated in FIG. 15 (b) shown.

In the above, the Hangul character input method on the touch screen used in the smartphone has been described. However, the present invention can also input English characters by applying the same method. Therefore, the method and the operation thereof will be described.

A text input method using a touch screen according to the present invention, comprising: a first step; When the English character input mode is selected, an alpha bat of English is displayed on a touch screen in which a string is arranged in consonants and vowels. Then a second step; Selecting and determining the alphabetic characters for input by touching, dragging, and stopping the touch when selecting the alphabetical characters. Of course, when inputting an alphabetic character, the character string of the alphabetic character is divided into a plurality of keypads 10 through a division line 1 or an area with a plurality of alphabet alphabats at a certain distance within the electronic touch screen. Also, a plurality of alpha batts located in one keypad 10 through the division area are virtually divided at regular distances and intervals to select English characters through touch, drag, and interruption of touch.

It explains in detail.

[Step 1]

In the present invention, when the English character input mode is selected, an alpha bat of English is arranged on both the consonants and vowels. In other words, if the user enters the mobile phone mode for entering text or has already been displayed in the Hangul input mode is to switch to the English character input mode. In the case of a smartphone, it may be entered through a separate button switch to the outside or through a touch screen. When entering this mode, the English input mode (uppercase or lowercase) is selected, so that a string consisting of consonants and vowels appears on the touch screen. This character string can be composed in various forms, and it is not necessary to specify in particular. Only the vowel and the consonant are distinguished. Unlike the Korean alphabet, the alphabet combination of consonants and vowels is not important. .

[Step 2]

Next, the present invention is a second step; Selecting and confirming alphabet letters (alpha) for input by touching, dragging and stopping touch when inputting alphabetic characters. That is, according to the special form of the touch screen, the touch screen is dragged to the other side only in the state where the end is interviewed with the touch screen through a light touch and a finger or a stylus without inputting a character through a click of a button. Enter a letter.

In this case, it is preferable that the character string for input is divided into a plurality of keypads 10 through the dividing line 1 or an area by a certain distance in the electronic touch screen with consonants and vowels. In particular, the physical division is not partitioned like the key button of a conventional mobile phone, but the visually partitioned consonants and vowels are in English alpha bat (capitalized), " A , B, C, D, E , F, G, H, I , J, K, L, M, N, O , P, Q, R, S, T, U , V, W, X, Y , Z ". Since it is difficult to give them a separate keypad 10 to give them all the dividing line 1, it is preferable to arrange a plurality of them and arrange them on one keypad 10, but in the case of the English alpha bat, in particular There is no law.

The 26 alphabates only allow three or four alphabatts to be located within the keypad 10 separated through the dividing line 1 or region, but within the same keypad 10 again virtually at regular distances and intervals. It is desirable to make this distinction between the different Alphabats. The touch screen of the present invention has positional information that is virtually invisible. It is divided into the "x" axis and the "y" axis, and separate positions become data at regular intervals, thereby forming invisible division. The user visually recognizes the area of each keypad 10 through the dividing line 1, but the control unit inside the smartphone not only separates the position of the dividing line 1 but also separate the binarization by position within the same keypad 10. Recognized location data. Accordingly, although a plurality of English alpha bats are displayed in the keypad 10 of the present invention, these are also divided separately so that the controller can clearly distinguish their positions.

Basically, in the English character input method of the present invention, when the alpha alphabat is selected by touching a character on the keypad 10, the first character of the character is selected and dragged to move to another character on the same keypad 10. This allows you to enter text in a way that the dragged alpha bat is reselected and confirmed. At this time, the method of dragging is also important. In the present invention, a character (= alphabet) can be input while being dragged in eight directions from a keypad that is the center. That is, when the clock is viewed with the clock time approximately, the four directions, such as 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock, 9 o'clock, and 12 o'clock, are selected and the alpha bat input characters are selected. It includes the directions of half past, half past four, half past seven, and half past ten. Of course, the eight directions do not coincide perfectly with the stated time angle of the clock, but the alphanubat input character is selected by roughly dragging in that direction.

The following describes in more detail the input method of the present invention and the basic law of the string to be arranged for it.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the character string described in the first step is composed of nine keypads 10 divided into three columns and three rows through the division line 1 or the division area. That is, the present invention proposes a form in which the English alphabat string is divided into three division lines (1) and divided into three rows and three rows, so that a total of nine keypads 10 can be formed. The keypad 10 is divided appropriately for the alpha bat consisting of a total of 26.

Most preferably, the nine keypads 10 have a start touch keypad 20 that forms a center, and separate keypads for randomly selecting alphabats selected by three of the English alphabats to be present inside the dividing line 1. To form (10).

The remaining two alphabats, which are not selected by three of the 26 alphabats, are divided one by one so that they exist on the other keypad 10 so that the keypad 10 having four alphabats can be two.

A more accurate embodiment of this is shown below, but this is not critical. Since only one embodiment for practicing the present invention, it is also possible to use the keypad 10 having a different type of character string.

"과 같은 형태로 제작되거나 또는 "

"같이 직사각형으로 배열될 수 있도록 한다. Then look at the form of a more detailed arrangement of the string directly carried out by the applicant of the present invention. According to the present invention, the nine keypads 10 divide the keypad 10 in which the partition of the dividing line 1 is horizontally and vertically divided into a somewhat square shape, as shown below.

Is made in the form of "or"

"So that they can be arranged in a rectangle as

In the former case, as shown in (a) of FIG. The other side may be used as an input character display panel 30 on which an input character is displayed, so that the user may check while inputting alpha bat characters. On the contrary, the latter is arranged for the same shape by arranging the keypad 10 in a rectangular shape like a touch screen of a smartphone.

This invention can accommodate all the above cases and can use it suitably.

Next, an embodiment of a more accurate rule in which English is input through the English input method of the present invention and a direct input using the same will be described. Of course, these methods have already been described through the aforementioned Hangul character input method. It simply applies the method similarly to English.

According to the present invention, the selection of the alphabetic characters for inputting the alphabetic characters is performed by the first touch or dragging to the character requiring selection in the start touch keypad 20. It is based on determining the character by moving to the start touch keypad 20 through. And after the primary selection, the movement to another alpha bat in one keypad 10 by dragging determines the dragged alpha bat and combines with the former to form an English paragraph.

In detail, the present invention structurally allows all characters to be input by only touching and dragging. Although the character arrangement of the keypad 10 required for this has been described above, one of the important keypad 10 is the start touch keypad 20. The start touch keypad 20 recognizes the alpha bat which is input and the start of the input. That is, a person who wants to input an English alphabat first touches a finger or a stylus on the start touch keypad 20 so that the controller recognizes it as a start of character input.

To explain the basic rules of the present invention, when the user touches the end of the finger or stylus at the position of each alphabat of the displayed character string in the English character input mode, the character is correctly received and the controller is displayed on the input character display panel 30. Let's go. In the same manner, there is a method of inputting a character into the input character display panel 30. First, the user touches the finger or stylus on the start touch keypad 20 and drags the other keypad 10 positioned in eight directions. Move toward). Then another alpha bat on the keypad 10 is displayed on the input character display panel 30.

That is, a method of directly touching the alpha batt which is expressed in the touch screen state and dragging toward another keypad 10 while being touched by the start touch keypad 20 is a character for alpha batts input on the dragged keypad 10. Is recognized, and the input character is confirmed by later actions.

Unlike Korean, English does not need to distinguish separate consonants and vowels on the nine keypads 10 because there are a few alpha bats. Therefore, the question is which consonant on the dragged keypad 10 is selected and confirmed by the consonant of the input. When selecting consonants with a direct touch through a finger or stylus, there is no problem in selecting the consonants within the keypad 10 because there is a certain distance from each other. This is because drag adjustments are clumsy, and you may get an error on which Alphabat to choose.

To this end, in the present invention, even if a plurality of alpha batts are present on one keypad 10, an alpha bat which is a base is implicitly selected. That is, in the drawing, "K", "B", "E", "H", "N", "Q", "U", and "W" are located at the center on the keypad 10. In other words, when the drag is moved onto the keypad 10 in which the alpha bat is displayed, first, the smartphone controller recognizes the basic alpha bat. If the drag is moved again on the same keypad 10 to the left or right, the controller recognizes that another alpha bat in the dragged direction is to be input.

All other alpha bat input methods are followed all the rules according to the Korean input method described above. In the case of the English alphabat, the number is 26, so there are two leftovers of each keypad 10 and two remain, and one keypad 10 exists. At this time, the problem is how to select and confirm two alpha bats.

In other words, when two of the alpha bats are selected and the remaining two are selected by the keypad 10 consisting of four strings, the two alpha bat characters are left by direct touch or the start touch keypad 20 and dragged three rows completely. When returning, it is assumed that the character in the keypad 10 dragged last is determined as the input character.

As shown in Fig. 14, the remaining two alphabates were arranged in three rows of first row and three rows, respectively, and the remaining two alphabates were selected as "R" and "Z" in the embodiment of Fig. In the drawings, they are indicated by square characters for their distinction). The expressions of "R" and "Z" start from the start perch keypad 10 first, and then drag the keypad 10 of the 3rd row and the 1st column to form the keypad 10 of the 3rd row and 2nd column, and the keypad 10 of the 3rd row and 3rd column. When there is an operation of returning to the start touch keypad 20 by dragging both, the smartphone controller recognizes as "Z". Of course the inverse behavior is to recognize it as "R".

On the other hand, in the present invention, the touch screen forming the start touch keypad 20, so that the input characters can be displayed; Mode switching is performed by dragging all the rows of the keypad 10 to lowercase letters and uppercase letters, Korean characters, and special characters. Mode conversion in other ways is circular in the start touch keypad 20. Drag to the lowercase and uppercase letters to convert the characters into Korean and special characters. Since all of these have been described through the above-described Hangul input method described above, the detailed description is refrained.

Next, the space is selected by dragging the two rows of keypads 10 from left to right or by dragging leftwards to the right within the start touch keypad 20; The backspace is selected by dragging both the keypads 10 in the two rows from the right to the left or by selecting the backspace from the right to the left in the start touch keypad 20.

Since this has already been described through the above-described Hangul character input method, the detailed description is refrained.
