Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a TOUCH SCREEN TYPE KEYBOARD OF SMARTPHONE EASILY CHANGING AMONG KOREAN, ENGLISH AND OTHER CHARACTERS,

More particularly, the present invention relates to a key board for a keyboard of a smartphone, which is capable of accommodating all characters and codes of the standard keyboard, The present invention also relates to a touch screen keyboard for a smartphone which accommodates other keyboard modes and allows easy input of characters using various touch patterns of the smart phone and facilitates character input of another keyboard.

The conventional technique of inputting characters is a keyboard of a computer keyboard and a mobile phone. Compared with the input method of a keyboard of a mobile phone centered on a number key, a computer keyboard, a so-called QWERTY keyboard, However, the conventional keyboard is a large keyboard and ten fingers are used for input. However, as the era of smartphones comes, the keyboard size becomes smaller due to the smaller input space and hand-holding, and the input should be centered on the thumb. However, since the smartphone is provided with a functional input technique such as dragging, in-situ, and long-press on the screen, effective character input means can be realized by using this function input technique.

In general, when inputting a few English characters while typing in Hangul mode, there is a lot of time and effort to fix the Hangul mode because it is often forgotten to return to Hangul mode after switching to English mode and inputting English characters. As the methods used in the existing technology, there are hardware toggling of one / two keys mechanically (eg, seesaw or push button), direct display of character mode LEDs, and status indicators (eg, There is a method such as addition of one / zero mark, and there is a method such as automatic conversion of HanYoung by recognizing the input sequence in software. However, they are all limited. The automatic conversion of HanYoung is not an ergonomically fundamental solution to change the unintended thing and to input unnecessary effort again.

As a result, the current method of switching between the Hangul mode and the English mode is not an optimal input method. It is necessary to have a keyboard capable of inputting both a temporary input mode only when an English alphabet is necessary and a means for inputting a fixed English mode.

Also, since the era of smartphones has come, the conventional input method is not suitable for smartphones. For example, it is difficult to implement the upper letters by pressing the shift key together. A smartphone needs a keyboard for a smartphone that is capable of receiving necessary characters including standard characters and conveniently inputting them using a function input means of a different dimension from the conventional keyboard.

It is an object of the present invention, which is devised to solve the above-mentioned problems, to provide a touch panel for a smartphone of a QWERTY type having fewer rows and columns so as to be suitable for a size smaller than a computer and other fingering methods, And more particularly, to provide an effective keyboard that can easily input one-sided or zero-sided input to one input or switch modes.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention to achieve the above object, there is provided a keyboard and a function key which are highly compatible with a QWERTY keyboard and systematically accommodate a Korean standard keyboard, an English keyboard and a plurality of keyboards, Dragging, tapping, tapping, and so on. In addition to inputting the keyboard mode, the keyboard mode is maintained, for example, the Korean language mode is being input, and only the English characters are temporarily input. It is not inconsistent with the existing defined key usage and enhances recognition consistency.

As another embodiment, in the case of a keyboard for a computer, means for inputting only alphabetic characters in Hangul input and means for switching between Hangul and English can be easily performed.

According to the present invention, it is possible to input a plurality of characters including a character of an existing keyboard in a keyboard mode, for example, a Hangul mode, as a systematic keyboard that has a high consistency with a Hangul dial of a QWERTY keyboard, It is convenient to temporarily input English characters in Hangul mode, and it can reduce error occurrence. This is not only convenient for use in smart phones, but also applicable to touch screen type input devices as a general family.

As another embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to reduce the error and improve the convenience in using the keyboard, such as enabling the English keyboard mode and the temporary English input while maintaining the mode of the computer keyboard.

FIG. 1 is a view showing a core configuration of a smartphone touch panel according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a diagram showing examples of English mode, numeric mode, and special characters, which are examples of the keyboard modes that can be accommodated in the non-Hangul mode in the smartphone application mode according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a computer keyboard that is easy to input Korean characters according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a keyboard in a state of a Hangul mode according to a first embodiment of the present invention. This is a representative example of recognizing all the characters and codes of the standard keyboard while preserving consistency with the character arrangement of the existing keyboard, without disturbing the visibility. In addition to the letters and symbols of the standard keyboard, necessary characters and symbols can be added. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment in which a heating point, a reference table, and a check mark are added. However, in the embodiment of the present invention, since all of the chord voices can be implemented by ten vowels, a redundant space is created, and important chords and voices among the twin consonants are arranged (30 in Fig. 1) Respectively.

Enter the characters of the default digits. Double consonants and double voices are implemented by double clicking or dragging (for example, dragging right). The double consonant or double vowel corresponding to the character of the base digit is as follows.

/ / ㅐ, ㅑ / ㅒ, ㅓ / ㅔ, ㅕ / ㅖ, ㅗ / ㅘ, ㅛ / ㅉ, ㅜ / ㅝ, ㅠ / ㅟ, ㅡ / ㅢ, / / ㄸ, / / ㅃ, / / ㅉ.

It can be realized by double clicking on the right triangle or right triangle, or by double clicking on the right triangle or right triangle.

A double vowel is also implemented as a combination of basic vowels. A pair of consonants is also implemented as a combination of terminal tones, but only if the corresponding terminal tones do not appear in both longitudinal and temporal tones.

The superscript (for example, 42 in FIG. 1) is implemented by dragging the corresponding key (41 in FIG. 1) up or down.

There are two letters for example '. , '(44 in FIG. 1) is implemented by dragging the right side first and the right side first. Color coding is performed by the display of the secondary character, and the secondary character is implemented in both the right drawing and the left drawing.

For example, '/?' (45 in FIG. 1) implements what is left by dragging up, and then right-dragging or left dragging to implement what is right.

The space bar (70 in FIG. 1) is a blank input, and it is repeated input when pressed. The movement of the cursor of the smartphone is normally on the screen, but when it is provided as a keyboard, the space bar moves up, down, left, and right as the cursor moves in the corresponding direction.

The tab function is implemented by dragging the space bar to the right, dragging it down, dragging it to the left, and then dragging it down to the left.

The three keys in the rightmost column of the keyboard are based on menu 61, enter 62, and delete 63, respectively. Up, down, left, and right drag of the Enter key implement page up, page down, home, and end, respectively. Left drag of the delete key implements backspace. Drag the delete key down to implement a toggle between insert mode and edit mode. In the edit mode, 'edit' appears at the bottom of the delete key (64).

When the keyboard multifunction key (50 in FIG. 1) is drawn upward, the Chinese character menu is displayed as an example (110 in FIG. 1) and the Chinese character is input, and the Chinese character mode is reduced to the Hangul mode without reducing operation.

If you want to temporarily type English characters without changing the keyboard during Hangul mode, drag the left character to lower case, drag left and then drag it to upper case. As an example, a left drag of? (41 in FIG. 1) implements a, a left drag and then an up drag.

The 'Control, Alt, Function' function is implemented by dragging the keyboard multifunction key. For example, dragging down is a function of 'control', dragging downward and dragging right are 'Alt', dragging down and dragging left 'function' keys. In case of the function function, the keyboard displays F1, F2 .. (120 in FIG. 1)

The keyboard multifunction key visually shows the current keyboard mode, such as 50, 51 in FIG. 1, 52 and 53 in FIG. 2, and the one-time provisioning state shows the original state.

2 shows another embodiment of the keyboard switch of the present invention. The keyboard mode is switched to the accepted keyboard mode every time the keyboard multifunction key (50 in FIG. 1) is drawn once to the right. For example, Hangul mode -> English mode -> symbol character mode -> number mode expression.

Dragging up the keyboard multifunction key provides a transition to the keyboard layout of the keyboard. For example, in English mode, it is a repetition between the caplock (upper case fixed) mode and lower case letters. Some keyboard modes and their shift modes are an English keyboard (200 in FIG. 2), a numeric keyboard (300 and 310 in FIG. 2), and a special character keyboard (400 and 410 in FIG. 2).

Even in various keyboard modes, the top character is implemented as in the first embodiment. When a character of a shift key board, for example, an upper-case letter in an English mode or a katakana character in a Japanese-language mode, is temporarily input, it is possible to perform a one-time .

Instead of switching the keyboard mode and fixing it, each time you press the keyboard multifunction key once, the keyboard mode appears only once, and the necessary characters or special characters are input.

As another alternative embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, even when a keyboard input is one of the major errors, the keyboard / ) Key is pressed at the same time, and the mode is changed only by pressing the key of "1" / "2".

 While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, but, on the contrary, It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. For example, it is possible to make the place of ㅐ, ㅔ to be the same as the standard keyboard, to reverse the use of the draw and the other place, to implement the direction of the draw differently, to make the basic keyboard mode different from another language, The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
