Description

Method of inputting an japanese character}

The present invention relates to a Japanese character input method, and in particular, proposes a new character input method capable of outputting various mixed characters with a simple operation with respect to Japanese characters.

Japanese characters are made up of five columns and ten rows, as shown in the 50th melody. The fifth stage consists of Adan, heresy, velvet, Edan, and Odan, and the tenth row is A line and Ka line. ， Throws of line, line of line, line of line, line of line, line of line, line of line, line of line, line of line, line of line, line of line, line of line .

In addition to the characters shown in 5 columns and 10 lines, Japanese characters are also pronounced (撥 音: HAT), tak sound, ", 반 (°). , Tactiles (っ), lowercase vowels, and punctuation marks exist, and the letters and letters are merged to produce long sounds and long notes.

In order to input Japanese characters in an electronic device such as a computer or a mobile phone, many characters must be arranged in one keyboard. Recently, a smart device or a portable display has a limitation in displaying a keyboard for character input due to a small display screen. Since the number of character input buttons is relatively small compared to Japanese characters to be input, a method of sequentially arranging several characters on one key or sequentially displaying a character display screen in a tree structure has been proposed.

In this case, in order to input a character desired by the user, it is inconvenient to press a plurality of character input buttons. In addition, in an electronic device having a small display screen such as a mobile phone, an error of incorrectly entering a character is likely to occur in the process of inputting a limited keyboard of a keypad with only a few fingers. In particular, it takes a lot of time to enter a word containing Japanese long sound, turbid sound or semi-mound sound.

As the electronic devices become smaller and the touch screen emerges as a core technology of a flat panel display, a new character input method that can replace an input key of a conventional keyboard or the dial of a touch screen is required.

The present invention has been made under the above technical background, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method for conveniently inputting Japanese even in a portable terminal having a small screen size.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for inputting various characters and character combinations while reducing the number of inputs when inputting Japanese characters.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a character input method that can reduce errors in the character input process and input mixed characters in a systematic manner.

Other objects and technical features of the present invention will be presented in more detail in the following detailed description.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention, in the character input screen of the electronic device display device, by pressing repeatedly the letter of the column A in the unit character board arranged in one character characters belonging to the same row (A line character) And mixed letter that is merged with い are displayed, and if you press the letter of the column and the letter of the column, the mixed letter that is merged with the column of letter い and ゃ, and the letter of the column Mixed characters and and い are displayed, and if you press the letter of Ō and the letters of あ, the mixed letter of Ō and the letter う are displayed, and if you press the letters of う and the word of あ, It provides a Japanese character input method characterized in that the mixed character is merged with and う.

In the present invention, when a letter of step I and a letter of step 를 are pressed, a mixed letter is displayed in which the letter of step I and ゅ are merged, and the letter of step I and ょ is merged when the letter of step I and the letter of step are pressed. Characters can be displayed. In this case, if you press the I-stage characters, the U-stage characters, and the a-stage characters, you can see the mixed characters that combine the I-stage characters, ゅ, and う. Press to display a mixture of i-characters and ょ and う.

The unit dial may further include a first mixed character in which the i-character and the m are merged, and a second mixed character in which the i-character and the m are merged. In this case, when the first mixed letter and the letter A are pressed, a mixed letter in which the I letter and ゅ and う are merged is displayed, and when the second mixed letter and the letter in the A column are pressed, the I mixed letter and ょ and う are displayed. This merged mixed character can be displayed.

In the present invention, any one character of each character arranged on the unit dial and another character may be continuously contacted by sliding or dragging to generate a mixed character. In addition, a mixed character may be generated by sequentially touching any one character and another character of each character arranged on the unit dial.

In addition, in the present invention, it may further include a symbol dial arranged with a symbol including "* ㅇ. In this case, when one of the" * ㅇ is pressed, the corresponding symbol is displayed. The table is automatically displayed after the text that can be attached to the table. If you press ㅇ or *, the table can be displayed automatically after the letter that can be attached.

According to the present invention, various characters and combinations of characters can be input in a simple manner for Japanese having a complicated character system. In particular, since character input and generation of mixed characters are determined by easy-to-understand rules, various various mixed characters can be easily displayed based on basic principles without memorizing them. In addition, it is possible to eliminate the disadvantage of narrowing the text size by enlarging the dial or including a large number of characters in a text input device in a portable electronic device with a small display size such as a smart phone. In this case, touch errors can be reduced during the character input process.

The present invention improves the character input speed and enables convenient input of various character combinations, even through a portable terminal having a narrow screen size for Japanese with a complicated character system, and a new character that can drastically reduce typos in the input process. Suggest an input method.

In the case of Japanese, in addition to the basic characters, symbols or other characters are combined to generate characters with new sounds or meanings. In order to display various characters, various characters in the character input unit of the touch screen must be repeatedly touched.

However, in a portable electronic device such as a smart phone, since it is not possible to display all the letters for forming letters and words on one display at a time, the basic keyboard 10 displaying only the basic representative characters 12 as shown in FIG. 1. There has been proposed a text input method of displaying on a display by a text input unit. In this case, the basic representative character is repeatedly touched to create and input a desired character or character combination.

Under such a character input method, it takes a lot of time by repeatedly touching the display to input a desired character or word, and also increases the possibility of an input error during the repeated touch process. In particular, a large number of inputs are required for inputting a mixed character such as a long sound that is made by merging characters with characters.

In order to more conveniently input such a mixed character, the present invention provides a character input screen of an electronic device display device such as a computer terminal or a portable terminal. Repeatedly pressing the characters of (あ か さ た な は ま や ら) displays the mixed characters, which combines the A-dan characters and い, and the letters of the い -dan (い し し に に み り) and the characters of the あ Dan If you press, the mixed letter that is merged with the i-letter and ゃ is displayed, and if you press the letter of the え Dan (え け て て へ れ れ) and the letter of the あ, the mixed letter with the え -dan and い is displayed. , If you press the letter of Ōdan (お こ と の も よ ろ) and the letter of あ, you see a mixed character that combines the letter of Ō and う. Characters and う merged with mixed characters .

The unit dial is あ row あ い え お is arranged, か line is か き く け こ is arranged, さ line is さ し す せ 배열, and た is た ち つ て とIs arranged, な row is な に ぬ ね の is arranged, は row is は ひ ふ ほ 배열 is arranged, ま row is ま み む も も, ら row is ら り れ ろ is arranged Ya line is や よ よ, and ゎ line corresponds to 10 kinds of characters.

In the present invention, the input of the mixed characters is based on the following principle of character formation.

i) a + a = ai

ii) i + a = ya

iii) e + a = ei

iv) o + a = ou

v) u + a = uu

Based on this principle, for example, in the case of か, double-click or press and hold か (ka), which is a representative character, and kai (kai), which is the long sound, is displayed, and press KI (ki) and か (ka). (kya) is displayed, pressing け (ke) and か (ka) displays け い (kei), pressing こ (ke) and か (ka) displays こ う (kei). Pressing か (ka) displays く う (kuu).

Character input in this manner applies equally to characters belonging to different lines. However, in the present invention, when the mixed letter or word formed according to the letter combination does not exist in the Japanese system, the corresponding letter or word is not generated.

In addition, in the present invention, when the letter of the step I and the letter of the step う (う く す つ つ ふ む ゆ る) is pressed, a mixed character in which the step I and the letter 병합 are merged is displayed, If you press, you will see a mixture of letters i and 병합 merged.

The input of such mixed characters is based on the following character formation principle.

i) i + o = yo

ii) i + u = yu

For example, in the case of か, pressing KI (ki) and こ (ko) displays KI (kyo), and pressing KI (KU) and KU (KU) displays KI (kyu).

In this case, if you press the I-stage characters, the U-stage characters, and the a-stage characters, you can see the mixed characters that combine the I-stage characters, ゅ, and う. Press to display a mixture of i-characters and ょ and う.

That is, mixed characters are formed on the basis of the following principle.

i) i + o + a = you

ii) i + u + a = yuu

For example, for か line, press KI (ki), こ (ko) and か (ka) to display KIyou う (kyou), and press KI (KI), KU (KU) and KA (K) to KI ゅ う ( kyuu) is displayed.

In the Japanese character input method according to the present invention, the unit dial may further include a first mixed character in which the i-character and the m are merged, and a second mixed character in which the i-character and the m are merged. That is, the letters corresponding to yo and yu may be included.

For example, in the case of か, kyo and kyu are basically displayed on the unit dial. In this case, when the first mixed letter and the letter in the column are pressed, a mixed letter in which the I letter and ゅ and う are merged is displayed, and when the second mixed letter and the letter in the A column are pressed, the I letter and ょ and う are merged. Mixed characters can be displayed.

That is, mixed characters are formed on the basis of the following principle.

i) yo + a = you

ii) yu + a = yuu

For example, in the case of か, press kyo and ka (ka) to display kyou, and press kyu and kai to display kyuu.

In the character input method according to the present invention, a mixed character may be generated by continuously contacting one of the characters arranged on the unit dial with another character by sliding or dragging. This approach is particularly suitable for touch screens.

In addition, a mixed character may be generated by sequentially touching or pressing any one character and the other character of each character arranged on the unit dial. This method can be effectively applied not only to the touch screen but also to text input through an existing keyboard.

Meanwhile, basic characters in the unit dial may be displayed in the following manner. For example, if you press the letter in the column, the letter is displayed. If you click the letter in the column, or if you click the letter in the column and the letter in the column, the letter is displayed. If you press the letter and the letter of the column and the letter of the column, the letter ー is displayed, and if you press the letter ー or the letter of the column and the letter of the column, the letter É is displayed. If you press and the letter O is displayed.

That is, the display of basic characters can be performed by the following two principles.

i) a = a, i = i, e = e, o = o, u = u

ii) a = a, a + i = i, a + e = e, a + o = o, a + u = u

Meanwhile, in the present invention, the mixed letter in which the letter A and the letter i are merged may be repeatedly pressed or pressed longer than the reference time.

Further, Japanese character input method according to the present invention "may further contain the o symbol is arranged sign face that includes, in this case as a" press any one of the * o and displays the corresponding sign, the "and * Press to display the table point automatically in front of the letters that can be attached to the table. Press ㅇ and * to display the table in front of the letter that can be attached to the table.

Since the character generation is determined by an easy-to-understand rule in inputting such a mixed character or a sound of a sound of a sound and a half sound, various various mixed characters can be easily displayed based on a basic principle without memorizing.

According to the character input method of the present invention, a character input unit on the display allocates a representative character to each block, allocates a related character block around the representative character block, and performs a sliding or dragging operation between the representative character block and the surrounding character block. Surrounding characters or other characters may be displayed. In addition, according to the character input method of the present invention, by displaying a variety of characters (or letter combinations) in the language system through a regular sliding operation between the representative character and the surrounding characters to input the character to the mobile terminal using the language In this case, the number of inputs can be greatly reduced, and accurate character display is possible by eliminating unnecessary touch operations.

In the present invention, 'sliding' refers to an action of contacting a part of a human body or a separate touch input tool to the display surface and moving from the first point to the second point while the contact is maintained, and the drag and Use the same meaning.

The Japanese character input method according to the present invention is particularly effective for the input of the following mixed characters or words.
