Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a touch screen terminal,

The present invention relates to a touch screen terminal, and more particularly, to a touch screen terminal for inputting and displaying a character through a touch screen.

With the development of information technology (IT) technology, a variety of information input methods are being developed. Accordingly, a character is input using a computer keyboard or a user's handwriting is input to a computer using a mouse. Recently, a character is input through a touch screen on which a user can manually input a handwriting into a terminal.

In recent years, smartphones have become more popular. Smartphones are similar to existing PDAs. However, if PDAs are focused on personal information management functions, smartphones focus on the use of network-based services. Such a smart phone can be implemented as a touch screen terminal equipped with an operating system like a PC, capable of executing various application programs, and equipped with various character input systems in which a user can input characters directly.

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a state in which a character is input and displayed on a smartphone through a touch screen.

The current touch screen input is displayed on the display unit 200 by touch display window 220 and character display window 210 to receive characters. That is, a separate touch display window 220 is popped up on the screen in addition to the character display window 210, and the user touches the touch key of the touch display window 220 to input characters. Accordingly, when the user touches the touch keys arranged on the touch display window 220, the characters of the touch keys touched are sequentially displayed and displayed in the character display window 210.

Referring to FIG. 1, when characters are touched according to the touch of the touch key on the touch display window 220, characters are displayed on the first character input line (line) of the character display window 210 have. It can be seen that character input is performed on the next character input line only after the character input for the first character input line is completed. However, when a character is input, a gap between the position of the touch key arranged in the touch display window 220 and the character input line displayed in the character display window 210 is wide, so that it is difficult for the user to recognize the typo.

Since the user looks at the touch display window 220 at the time of inputting characters, the characters displayed at the upper end of the character display window 210 are deviated from the viewing angle of the user, making it difficult to immediately recognize the typo. Accordingly, there is a problem that the user is notified of the typo only after viewing the character display window 210 off the touch display window 220.

Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2013-0037578

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to allow a user to easily recognize a character sequence inputted through a touch screen. Another object of the present invention is to allow a user to easily recognize the occurrence of a typo when a character is input through a touch screen.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a touch screen terminal for inputting characters and displaying characters through a display unit, the touch screen terminal comprising: a touch display window for arranging and displaying touch keys to receive a character input from a user; A character display window for displaying a character input through the touch display window on a character input line; And the character display window is divided into 1/2, and a half area adjacent to the touch display window is referred to as a touch adjacent area, and the other half area is referred to as a touch spacing area, a character input line located in the touch adjacent area A control unit for controlling the display of characters; .

The control unit causes a character to be displayed on a character input line closest to the touch display window among character input lines in the touch adjacent region.

When all the characters are filled in the activated character input line, which is a character input line on which characters are displayed, the input character string is displayed on the nearest neighboring character input line to make the activated character input line blank, Characters are sequentially displayed on the empty character input line in the vacated state.

The touch screen terminal includes a character size determination unit for determining a character size displayed on a character display window; .

And the control unit may display the character by differently determining the character input line on which the character is displayed according to the recognized character size. As the character size is larger, the control unit displays the characters apart from the touch display window.

When all the characters are filled in the activated character input line in which the characters are displayed in the touch adjacent region, the control unit displays the inputted character string on the character input line in the touch spaced region to make the activated character input line blank After that, newly inputted characters are sequentially displayed on the vacated activated character input line which is vacated.

The control unit displays a character displayed on the activated character input line larger than a character displayed on a character input line in the touch spaced region.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, the interval between the line on which characters are input and the touch display window is shortened so that characters are displayed directly on the touch display window, so that the user can easily recognize the occurrence of a typo.

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a conventional smartphone receiving and displaying a character through a touch screen. FIG.

FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a method of displaying characters by distinguishing a touch adjacent region and a touch spacing region according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG.

Hereinafter, a detailed description of embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the same reference numerals are used to denote the same or similar components in the drawings.

Hereinafter, a mobile communication terminal will be described as an example of a touch screen terminal. However, if the terminal is capable of inputting characters, it is obvious that the present invention can be applied not only to the mobile communication terminal but also to various touch screen terminals.

Hereinafter, the term " character " refers to various types of hieroglyphic characters including letters, symbols, special characters, and icons capable of expressing various languages such as Korean, English, Japanese and Chinese.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a touch screen terminal implemented in a mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 illustrates a touch display window and a text display window of a display unit of a touch screen terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, This figure shows how characters are displayed on the display window.

The RF unit 600 performs a wireless communication function of the touch screen terminal. The RF unit 600 includes an RF transmitter for up-converting and amplifying the frequency of a transmitted signal, an RF receiver for low-noise amplifying the received signal, and down-converting the frequency of the received signal.

The data processing unit 500 includes a transmitter for encoding and modulating a transmitted signal and a receiver for demodulating and decoding the received signal. That is, the data processing unit 500 may include a modem and a CODEC. The codec includes a data codec for processing packet data and an audio codec for processing audio signals such as voice. The audio signal output from the audio codec of the data processing unit 500 can be reproduced through a speaker (not shown).

The touch input unit 300 recognizes a touch point of a touching touch unit including a touch pen or a finger. By recognizing the contact points of the touch number group, not only the mouse pointing function but also the handwriting input of characters can be realized. The touch input unit 300 is mainly used for a depressurization type in which a touch pressure is sensed and input, and a capacitance type in which a change in charge is sensed to be input. The pressure reducing method is a method in which a conductive ink is printed on two thin plastic plates to form a circuit, and two points are contacted with a finger to connect the switch to sense the touch position. The capacitance type is a transparent ITO (Indium-Tin Oxide) functioning as a lower film and a touch sensor, a sensor electrode film having an electrode pattern formed thereon, a dielectric film adhered to an ITO electrode as an adhesive, and a protective film Consists of. The shape of the ITO electrode pattern, which is the touch sensor electrode, differs depending on the performance and the driving method of the dedicated controller chip, but the overall basic structure is the same as described above. When a controller chip is attached to such a capacitive touch screen, it becomes a touch screen module, and a capacitive touch screen can be operated for position measurement in which a human hand is touched.

For reference, in the case of the electrostatic method, a charge induction touch pen other than the finger which causes the movement of the charge due to the static electricity can be used as the touch water unit. In the case of the static pressure method, in addition to the touch pen capable of generating the touch pressure, a finger can be used as a single touch unit.

The display unit 200 is implemented by a liquid crystal panel such as an LCD or an OLED, displays a video signal on a screen, and displays data inputted by a user. For this, the display unit 200 includes a touch display window 220 and a text display window 210.

The touch display window 220 displays arrangements of touch keys such as letters, figures, symbols, and the like, and receives a character to be input from a user through a touch key. When the user touches a specific touch key through the touch key arrangement of the heaven and earth in the touch display window 220, the touch input unit 300 detects the touch key touched in the touch display window 220, .

The character display window 210 displays the touched characters in the touch display window 220 on the character input line. A character input line is a line for displaying an input character, for example, a horizontal line of the character display window 210. The character display window 210 may be divided into two areas. Hereinafter, a half area adjacent to the touch display window 220 among the entire area of the character display window 210 will be referred to as a touch adjacent area 210b, / 2 area is referred to as a touch spacing area 210a. For example, when the touch display window 220 is displayed on the lower side of the entire area of the character display window 210 as shown in FIG. 3, a half area adjacent to the touch display window 220 displayed on the lower side is the touch adjacent area And the other half area becomes the touch spacing area 210a.

Conventionally, since characters are displayed on the character input line located at the uppermost position within the touch spacing region 210a, it is difficult for the user to recognize the typo. That is, when a character is displayed at the uppermost position in the touch spacing area 210a, the interval between the position of the touch key arranged in the touch display window 220 and the position of the character displayed in the character display window 210 is wide, It becomes hard to recognize. Since the user looks at the touch display window 220 at the time of inputting characters, the characters displayed on the character display window 210 are deviated from the viewing angle of the user, making it difficult for the user to immediately recognize the typo.

In order to solve such a problem, the controller 100 of the present invention inputs characters input through the touch display window 220 to a character input line located in the touch adjacent area 210b among the entire area of the character display window 210 Respectively. In particular, such that a touch region adjacent to the character in the adjacent character input line (L n) displayed on the touch display 220 in the character input lines in (210b), as shown in FIG. By ensuring that the characters in the adjacent character input line (L n) displayed on the touch display 220, the user can easily view the characters displayed on the touch display 220, touch an adjacent region (210b) and touch the touch key arrangement on It becomes possible to immediately recognize the typos.

In addition, the control unit 100 is a character input line character is displayed, as shown in 4 (L n; hereinafter "activated character input line 'quot;) if all of the character input filled adjacent the input string the neighborhood Is displayed on the character input line L n -1 to make the activated character input line L n blank, and then the newly input characters are sequentially displayed on the empty character input line L n in the empty state . Accordingly, the input character is displayed on the character input line closest to the touch display window 220, and the input characters are sequentially pushed upward.

On the other hand, the size of characters displayed on the character display window 210 is determined by the user or determined in the mobile communication terminal's own system, and displayed in the character display window 210 according to the determined character size. The character size determination unit 400 determines the size of a character displayed on the character display window 210. For reference, since the character size is stored in the terminal system as the font size, information on such character size can be read.

The control unit 100 determines characters differently from the character input lines on which the characters are displayed according to the character sizes recognized by the character size determination unit 400 and displays the characters. The control unit 100 can control the characters to be displayed at a distance from the touch display window 220 as the character size increases. If the character size is small, the user can easily recognize the displayed character by displaying characters adjacent to the touch display window 220. On the contrary, if the character size is large, This is because it is possible to confirm the character displayed in the display. For example, as shown in FIG. 5A, when the character size is smaller than a preset character size (hereinafter, referred to as 'critical character size'), It is possible to control the characters to be displayed on the character input line L n closest to the touch display window 220. On the other hand, if the character size is larger than the critical character size as shown in FIG. 5B, the character input line L (FIG. 5B) closest to the touch display window 220 among the touch adjacent region 210b of the character display window 210 n ) of the character input line L n-1 .

On the other hand, when the character input is completed and filled in the activated character input line which is a character input line on which characters are displayed, the input character string is displayed on the nearest adjacent character input line as shown in FIG. 4, Lines are input. Any other input string can be displayed on another character input line. That is, when the control unit Fig. 6 (a) all of the letter input filled in by touching an adjacent region (210b) character input line is enabled character input line (L n), which characters are displayed in as shown in FIG. 6 (b , The inputted character string is displayed on the first character input line L 1 in the touch spacing region 210a to set the activated character input line L n of the touch adjacent region 210b in a blank state The newly input characters can be sequentially displayed on the vacated activated character input line in the vacated state.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), the characters displayed on the activated character input line L n can be displayed larger than the characters displayed on the character input line L 1 in the touch spacing region 210a. This is to improve the typos or the ability of the user by displaying a large number of recently input characters.

While the present invention has been described in connection with certain exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments. Accordingly, the present invention is not limited by the above-described embodiments, and it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the claims but also covers the equivalents.
