Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a computer-readable recording medium for inputting alphabetic characters,

The present invention relates to an alphabetic character input method, an alphabetic character input device, and a computer-readable recording medium for inputting alphabetic characters. More particularly, the present invention relates to an alphabetic character input method, And a computer-readable recording medium for inputting English characters.

Recently, terminals such as a mobile phone, a smart phone, a PDA, a navigator, a notebook, a PC, a POS device and an ATM equipped with a touch-type character input interface such as a touch pad or a touch screen are being released. Such a terminal provides a keypad window and a character display window on a touch screen so that a user can input a desired character through a touch of a keypad window using a finger or a pointer.

Commonly used character input interfaces are a wide range of keyboard applications and QWERTY keyboard applications. The Cheonjiyin keyboard application is one of the most used in Hangul input board, and it uses the existing keypad for feature phone. Although the ChunJin-in keyboard application has a merit of providing a simple Hangeul character input interface, the alphabet input interface is disadvantageous in that it is inconvenient to input characters, has a low input speed and is somewhat inconvenient to input and edit various characters.

And the qwerty keyboard application is an application of the existing PC keyboard. It has an intuitive Korean character input interface as well as an intuitive and easy alphanumeric input interface, and it is convenient to input and edit various symbols. However, the QWERTY keyboard application has a problem that the number of keys to be pressed with a single finger is large, the area of each key is small, and the screen of the terminal is small, thereby generating a typo. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-1388959 discloses a keypad for allowing a user to intuitively input a consonant or vowel such as a character input of a QWERTY system, .

However, in the case of the QWERTY method, there is a problem that the possibility of misrecognition may be further increased due to the narrow area of the key when the key is used in a device having a small screen such as a smart watch because the possibility of typos is high as described above. In addition, both character input and text input methods require a character input interface to occupy half of the terminal screen. However, there is a problem in that, for example, when chatting with the other party during a game or the like, more than half of the game play screen is blocked by the character input interface, which is inconvenient to perform the game.

Therefore, a technique for solving the above-described problems is required.

1 is a block diagram illustrating an alphabetic character input apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

1, an alphabetic character input apparatus 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an English alphabetic character providing unit 11, an input unit 12, and an output unit 13.

The English alphabetizer 11 provides English alphabet letters on the screen of the alphabet letter input device 10. 2A, the character input area 100, the setting button 110, the upper case input button 120, the numeric input area switching button 130, the comma button 140, the space button 150, (Line break) button 170, and a character deletion button 180. [0033]

The character input area 100 includes a first character 101, a second character 102, a third character 103, a fourth character 104, a fifth character 105, and characters 101-104 ), And includes a first symbol (106), and a plurality of symbols surrounding the first symbol (106). Here, when user input for any one of the first through fifth characters 101-105 is generated, five English alphabets may be output, and any one of the first through fifth characters 101-105 20 alphabetic characters can be defined by a combination of a character of a character and a symbol of one of a plurality of symbols surrounding the character. Then, four English alphabets can be defined through a plurality of symbols surrounding the first symbol 106. [

The alphabetic character plate includes a first character to a fifth character 101-105 (including a plurality of symbols dependent on the first to fifth characters 101-105) and a first symbol 106 (including a first symbol 106 ) May be arranged to have any matrix. When a set of characters (or a symbol) and a plurality of symbols (or a plurality of alphabetic characters) disposed in the periphery of the character (or symbols) are referred to as a set, each set includes axb matrixes (a, b = 1 Lt; RTI ID = 0.0 > a < / RTI > larger integer). For example, as shown in FIG. 2A, a 3 x 2 matrix may be formed in a checkered pattern. Although not shown, they may be formed in a checkerboard form having a 2 x 3 matrix. Alternatively, they may be arranged to have a matrix of 1 x 6. If an English alphabet of a 1 x 6 matrix is implemented, each set can be arranged in a row. The order in which the respective sets are arranged in the matrix is a first character 101, a second character 102, a third character 103, a fourth character 104, a fifth character 105, The symbols 106 may be arranged in the order of, but not necessarily, in a different order. And this order may be changed according to the user setting. For example, the order in which the respective sets are arranged in the matrix may include a first character 101, a second character 102, a third character 103, a fourth character 104, a first character 106, May be the order of the fifth character 105.

Also, the English alphabet may be divided into two sets (SET1, SET2) as shown in FIG. 2B. For example, the first set SET1 may comprise a first character 101, a second character 102, a third character 103, and a plurality of symbols depending thereon. The second set SET2 may comprise a fourth character 104, a fifth character 105, a plurality of symbols dependent thereon, a first character 106, and a plurality of alphabetic characters dependent thereon . In this case, the first set SET1 and the second set SET2 may be spaced apart from each other and disposed at a position adjacent to an edge of the screen of the alphabetical character input device 10. [ The combination of characters included in the first set SET1 and the second set SET2 and the number of characters included in each of the sets SET1 and SET2 may be different from those of FIG.

On the other hand, it may be implemented by dividing into three sets (SET1, SET2, SET3). For example, the first set (SET) may consist of a first character 101, a second character 102, and a plurality of symbols depending thereon. The second set SET2 may comprise a third character 103, a fourth character 104, and a plurality of symbols depending thereon. The third set SET3 may comprise a fifth character 105, a plurality of symbols dependent thereon, a first character 106, and a plurality of alphabetic characters depending thereon. In this case, the first set (SET1) to the third set (SET3) may be spaced apart from each other and disposed at a position adjacent to an edge of the screen of the alphabet input device (10). On the other hand, the combination of characters included in the first set (SET1) to the third set (SET3) and the number of characters included in each set (SET1, SET2, SET3) may be configured in various other forms.

As shown in FIG. 2A, when the English keyboard is provided to a size that occupies about half of the screen of the alphabet input device 10, the sizes of the keys (that is, the respective keys constituting the English keyboard) are smaller than those of the existing QWERTY keyboard It is possible to reduce the possibility of users entering typos because it increases several times. In addition, since 26 alphabetic characters can be input using only six keys, when the English alphabetic character plate of the present invention is used on a smart watch that has been recently commercialized as shown in FIG. 2C, the user can efficiently input Let's do it. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2B, when the English keyboard is divided into two sets of small size and arranged on both sides of the screen, it is possible to reduce interference of the user's use of the existing application. If a user executes an English keyboard for chatting with a user while playing a game on a smartphone, a text input interface occupying more than half of the game execution screen is provided for a conventional QWERTY keyboard, However, in the case of the English keyboard according to FIG. 2B, a character input interface with a small area can be provided so that the user can sufficiently monitor the progress of the game.

The input unit 12 may be configured in the form of a touch screen, a keyboard, a mouse, a button, an electronic pen, or the like, for receiving user input for characters and symbols included in the English alphabet.

The output unit 13 is configured to output an English alphabet corresponding to a user input inputted through an English alphabetical board. The output unit 13 stores an alphabetical alphabet table corresponding to a single character, a combination of characters and symbols, And outputs the English alphabet corresponding to the input through the screen of the alphabet input device 10. [

On the other hand, when the capital letter input button 120 is clicked, the characters (101-105) and the color of the symbol (106) in the character input area (100) So that the user can recognize that the capital letters can be input. In the case of a general keyboard application, when an upper case letter input button is clicked, an English letter in the arrow keyboard is converted from lower case to upper case to inform the user that capital letters can be input, but since the English keyboard of the embodiment of the present invention can not adopt such a method Color conversion is used. Specifically, when the uppercase input button 120 is clicked, the colors of the characters 101-105 and the symbols 106 are changed, or the colors of the entire buttons 101-105 or the symbols 106 The color may change. Alternatively, when the upper case input button 120 is clicked, the color of the arrow in the upper case input button 120 may be changed so that the user can recognize that the upper case can be input. However, the present invention is not limited to this example, and an embodiment of the present invention may indicate that capital letters can be input in various other ways.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an English alphabetic input method for inputting 26 English alphabets using an alphabetic character plate according to an embodiment. FIG. 4 is a table defining the matching relationship between the English alphabet and 26 alphabets shown in FIG.

Shape < / RTI >

Each of the characters 101-105 defines five English alphabets among 26 alphabetic alphabets. Specifically, the output unit 13 outputs c when user input to the first character 101 occurs, and v when the user input to the second character 102 is output. N for user input to the third character 103 and i for the user input to the fourth character 104. [ And u for the user input to the fifth character 105. In particular, the shapes of the first to fifth characters 101-105 are similar or identical to c, v, n, i, u, respectively, so that the user can intuitively know which alphabetic character is represented.

On the other hand, the output unit 13 outputs a standby input for inputting four alphabetic characters (e, a, i, o) surrounding the first symbol 106 when a user input to the first symbol 106 occurs And does not output any characters. However, the first symbol 106 may be set to output other alphabetic characters, or may be set to '.', '', '! , And so on. At this time, the output unit 13 may output a set alphabetic character or a set special character when a user input to the first symbol 106 occurs.

In addition, the English alphabet defines four other English alphabets through four symbols 101a-101d surrounding the first character 101. [ Specifically, the English alphabetical board is composed of a first symbol 101a of 'l' shape disposed on the left side of the first character 101, a symbol 'c' disposed on the right side of the first character 101, 1 'symbol 101c disposed on the upper side of the first character 101, a first symbol 101b' disposed on the lower side of the first character 101, R, s, d and q, respectively, through the first to fourth symbols 101c of the shape.

Specifically, the English alphabets are arranged on the left side of the fifth character 105 and are arranged on the right side of the fifth character 105a and a 5-1 symbol 105a having a 'c' shape having a right opening direction. ' 5'th symbol 105b arranged in the lower side of the fifth character 105, a 5'th symbol 105c in the form of 'l' disposed on the upper side of the 5th character 105, Through the fifth to fourth symbols 105d of the shape, o, j, b, and p, respectively. Specifically, assuming that the user input for each symbol is generated after user input to the fifth character 105, the output unit 13 corresponds to the user input to the 5-1 symbol 105a Outputs o in response to the user input to the 5-2 symbol 105b, outputs b in response to the user input to the 5-3 symbol 105c, P may be output in response to the user input to the symbol 105d.

In addition, the English alphabet defines four other English alphabets through four alphabetic symbols 106a-106d surrounding the first symbol 106. [ Specifically, the English alphabet is arranged on the left side of the first symbol 106 and includes a first alphabet symbol 106a of 'e' shape, a second alphabet symbol of 'a' shape disposed on the right side of the first symbol 106, Shaped third alphabet symbol 106c disposed on the upper side of the first symbol 106 and a fourth alphabet symbol 106d arranged on the lower side of the first symbol 106, ) To define e, a, i, and o, respectively. Specifically, assuming that the user input for each alphabet symbol is generated after user input for the first symbol 106, the output unit 13 corresponds to the user input for the first alphabet symbol 106a Outputs a corresponding to the user input to the second alphabet symbol 106b, outputs a corresponding to the user input to the third alphabet symbol 106c, and outputs i corresponding to the fourth alphabet symbol 106d Can be output in response to user input to the user. On the other hand, the order and position of the alphabetical symbols e, a, i, o surrounding the first symbol 106 may be arranged in various other sequences and ways as exemplarily described. For example, if you look at an example of a keyboard application that outputs Japanese, you can use the i, e, and so on based on symbols (for example, hiragana (aka, u, o (left, right, upper, lower) (or hiragana corresponding to i, e, o, u) , hiragana corresponding to the pronunciation of i, e, u, o). For example, the symbol may be katakana instead of hiragana.

On the other hand, after outputting the other four English alphabets through four alphabetic symbols 106a-106d surrounding the first symbol 106, when a predetermined time elapses, four alphabetic alphabets are activated again . For example, when it is assumed that a user is input after inputting the first symbol 106, the output unit 13 outputs e corresponding to the user input for the first alphabet symbol 106a, The output unit 130 outputs the first alphabet symbol 106a to the fourth alphabet symbol 106d on the basis of the first alphabet symbol 106a to the fourth alphabet symbol 106d E, a, i, o can be continuously output. In this way, the two vowels can be output in succession (ee, ea, ei, eo, etc.).

At this time, the positions where the symbols 101a-105d are arranged are determined so as to facilitate the memorization of the keyboard through intuitive recognition by the user. That is, when the symbols 101a to 105d are moved in the direction in which the characters are arranged at their positions defined as shown in FIG. 3 and combined with the characters, the derivative characters as shown in FIG. 4 are formed. Each derived character is represented by r, s, d, q (a derivative character of the first character 101), x, w, z, y (a derivative character of the second character 102) t, t, k, l (a derivative character derived from the fourth character 104), o, j, b, p (or more) (Derived characters by the fifth character 105), users can easily memorize and input the correspondence between the combination of symbols and characters and the English alphabet by associating each symbol and characters with each other .

Particularly, in order to facilitate intuitive recognition and easy memorization by the user, the 'I' -shaped first-third symbol 101c is arranged at a position corresponding to the 'c' -shaped opening area at the right upper end of the first character 101 Shaped symbol 111d is arranged at a position corresponding to a 'c' shaped opening area at the lower right of the first character 101 so that q It can be easily reminded. In addition, the '2' symbol 102b of the 'v' shape is disposed at a position corresponding to the right side of the second character 102 so that w can be easily remapped, and the symbol '2-' 102d are arranged at positions corresponding to the lower center of the second character 102 so that y can be easily remapped. In addition, the 3-1 symbol 103a having the 'c' shape opened at the lower side is disposed at a position corresponding to the left side of the third character 103 so that m can be easily remapped, and the 'I' The 3-3 symbol 103c is arranged at the upper left of the third character 103 so that h can easily be remapped. The 4-1 symbol 104a in the shape of '_' may be arranged at a position corresponding to the upper end portion of the fourth character 104 so that the center portion is easily reminded of T, The -4 symbol 104d may be arranged such that the left end portion is located at a position corresponding to the lower end portion of the fourth character 104 so that L can easily be remapped. In addition, the 5-3 symbol 105c in the shape of 'I' is arranged at a position corresponding to the opening region 'c' at the upper left of the fifth character 105 so that b can be easily remapped, The I'-shaped fifth to fourth symbols 105d may be disposed at positions corresponding to the 'c' shaped opening regions at the lower left of the fifth character 105, so that p can be easily remapped.

On the other hand, a first English alphabet symbol 106a of 'e' is arranged on the left side of the first symbol 106 and a second English alphabet symbol 106b of 'a' is arranged on the right side. In addition, a first English alphabet symbol 106c of 'i' is arranged above the first symbol 106 and a second English alphabet symbol 106d of 'o' is arranged on the lower side.

The alphabet input method of 26 English alphabets can be defined by the method described with reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. However, there are two input methods for the alphabets t, i, o. For example, the English alphabet 't' may be entered using the fourth character 104 and two symbols. The alphabetic character 'i' may be input using the fourth character 104 and the first symbol 106, and the English alphabetic character 'o' may be input using the fifth character 105 and the first symbol 106 .

Next, referring to FIG. 5, a continuous input method of two English alphabets will be described in detail.

FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an alphabetic character input method for continuously inputting two English alphabets using an alphabetic character plate according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 5, the alphabetical character input device 10 may output a continuous character such as 'Si (si)' by the first user input 210. If the first user input 210 that touches the first character 101 having the 'c' shape and then drags (arrows) to the right is generated, 'S' can be output by the 1 character 101 and the 1-3 symbol 101c.

At this time, when the first and second user inputs 212 for maintaining the touch state for a predetermined time t1 after the completion of the first user input 211 are generated, the alphabet letter input device 10 continuously outputs the vowels The direction key 213 may be activated.

At this time, the alphabetical character input device 10 outputs an output of e, a, i, o to the first to third user inputs 213c ), The alphabet 'i' is selected and 'Si' is output.

In this manner, when the first to fourth user inputs 213a to be dragged to the left are present following the first to second user inputs 212, the alphabetical character input device 10 can output 'Se' If there is a 1-5th user input 213b to be dragged in the right direction, the alphabetical character input device 10 can output 'Se', and a 1-6 user input 213d to drag downward is present , The alphabet letter input device 10 can output 'So'.

Also, the second user input 220 may output a consecutive character such as 'Ya (ya)'. In this case, if the second user input 220 that touches the 'v' shaped first character 101 and drags (arrows) in the downward direction occurs, &Quot; y " may be output by the 2-character 102 and the 2-4 symbol 102d.

At this time, when the second-second user input 222 for maintaining the touch state for a predetermined time t2 after the completion of the second-first user input 221 is generated, the alphabet letter input device 10 continuously outputs the vowel The direction key 223 can be activated.

At this time, the alphabetic character input device 10 outputs the output of e, a, i, o to the second-second user input 222 corresponding to the desired vow a, and then the second-third user input 223b ), The alphabet 'a' is selected and 'ya' is output.

In this manner, if the second-second user input 222 is followed by the second-fourth user input 223a dragging in the left direction, the alphabetical character input device 10 can output 'Ye' If there is a second 2-5 user input 223b dragging in the upward direction, the alphabetical character input device 10 can output 'Yi' and the second 2-6 user input 223d dragging in the downward direction is present , The alphabet letter input device 10 can output 'yo'.

Meanwhile, although not shown, if there is a 3-1 user input in which the touch input for a predetermined time is maintained after the 3-1 user input for outputting the first through fifth characters 101-105, Can be activated. Thereafter, there may be a third-two user input selecting four alphabetic symbols e, a, i, o. In this case, the alphabet letter input device 10 can also input alphabet letters corresponding to the first to fifth characters 101-105 by the third user input in which the third-third user input to the third- And one of the four alphabetic symbols (e, a, i, o).

In this way, when the touch input is maintained for a predetermined time (t) for inputting a character using the first to fifth characters 101-105, the first symbol 106 and the four alphabet symbols e, a, i, o). Here, the positions of the four alphabetical symbols (e, a, i, o) are illustratively described, for example, in the order of a, e, i, o or in the order of o, a, Location, etc. < / RTI > Thereby, one of the alphabet characters using the first to fifth characters 101-105 and the four alphabet characters (e, a, i, o) is selected, and the first to fifth characters 101-105 And successively output the alphabet characters successively following the alphabet letter selected by the user.

On the other hand, the input method for the two alphabetic characters may include any method that can be easily derived through the method described in the specification, as well as the method described with reference to FIG.

In the above-described manner, a total of 26 English alphabets are divided into five characters 101-105, symbols 101a-105d depending on each character, one symbol 106 and alphabet characters 106a-106d. Here, since c, v, n, i, u are outputted only by one user input for each character 101-105, they can be outputted as the simplest input. r, s, d, q, x, wz, y, m, f, h, g, t, r, k, l, o, E, a, i, and o are output as one symbol 106 and one alphabet symbol 106a-106d, respectively, Can be output only by two user inputs (touch and drag). Thus frequently used vowels e, a, i, o can be entered using separate symbols, and frequently used vowels e, a, i, ) In order to enable continuous input.

Hereinafter, an alphabetic character input method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The method described with reference to FIG. 6 includes steps that are processed in a time-series manner in the alphabetic character input device 10. FIG. Therefore, even if omitted from the following description, the contents described with reference to FIG. 1 through FIG. 5 may be applied to an alphabetic character input method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The alphabetic character input device 10 provides an alphabetic character plate (S10). As shown in FIG. 3, the English alphabet may be composed of five characters 101-105 and four symbols 101a-105d surrounding each character. In addition, the English alphabets can be composed of one symbol 106 and four alphabetic characters 106a-106d surrounding the symbol as shown in Fig. At this time, each character 101-105 defines one English alphabet, and each letter 101-105 and a symbol of one of the symbols 101a-105d surrounding it define 20 English alphabets And defines 26 alphabetic characters through the definition of the alphabetic characters for the four alphabetic characters (e, a, i, o) through four alphabetic characters 106a-106d surrounding the symbol 106 By definition, a total of 26 English alphabets can be defined. For reference, the three English alphabets of t, i, and o are defined by two characters, or they are defined by one character and one (or two) symbols, and can be input in two ways. Therefore, the English alphabet has five alphabets defined by five characters (101-105), 20 alphabets defined by four symbols (101a-105d) surrounding five characters (101-105) , Four alphabets may be defined by four alphabetic characters 106a-106d surrounding the symbol 106 to define 29 alphabets. However, as described above, all 26 English alphabets are defined according to the duplication of the three English alphabets (29-3). Therefore, the plurality of symbols 101a-105d surrounding each character 101-105 can define the remaining alphabetical characters except c, v, n, i, u, e, and a.

At this time, the plurality of symbols 101a-105d surrounding each of the characters 101-105 are arranged in such a manner that each of the symbols 101a-105d corresponds to characters 101-105 so that intuitive memorization is possible when the user inputs the English alphabet. May be arranged at positions that can show a shape similar to the English alphabet defined by each of the symbols 101a-105d.

Next, the alphabet input device 10 receives a user input for a character or a combination of characters and symbols (S20).

The alphabet letter input device 10 stores a table of alphabet letters corresponding to a combination of letters, symbols and symbols, symbols or symbols and alphabet letters, searches for alphabet letters corresponding to the received user input, and outputs the retrieved alphabet characters (S30).

The alphabetic character input device and the alphabetic character input method according to an embodiment of the present invention may include additional embodiments regarding continuous input of alphabetic characters.

In order to solve this problem, an embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that after a first user input for a specific alphabetical alphabet is generated, a predetermined time (for example, 1 A, i, o) is continuously output when a second user input is additionally generated (t1> t, t = 1second) The direction key can be activated. When the third user input for selecting one of the alphabetic characters (e, a, i, o) corresponding to the direction key is generated, the alphabet letter input device 10 displays the alphabetic characters corresponding to the first user input and the third user input It is possible to continuously output corresponding English alphabets.

As described above, an embodiment of the present invention provides an English keyboard that includes keys larger than existing QWERTY keyboards or skywalker keyboards, thereby significantly reducing the likelihood of typos input by the user. At this time, each key is composed of one character and a plurality of symbols surrounding it, because the arrangement relationship between characters and symbols, and the shape of characters and symbols are formed in a form that implies a specific English alphabet, Characters and symbols can be easily memorized, thereby providing an intuitive character input interface. In addition, when an English alphabetical board divided into two sets of reduced size keys is displayed on a terminal screen, even if an English alphabetical board is executed for the purpose of chatting or the like while the user is executing an application such as a game, It is possible to minimize the restriction on the use of the existing application by using the English alphabet.
