Description

Input system and input method {Input system and input method}

The present invention relates to an input system, and more particularly, to an input system for easily inputting Hangul with only one hand by utilizing a combination of a space key and E, S, D, and F keys while maintaining consonants in an existing double-arranged keyboard. It is about the input system and input method that can help you do it.

A keyboard (or keyboard) is a computer peripheral input device that allows characters to be input on a computer, etc., and is a peripheral input device mainly used with a mouse. The keyboard usually has two layouts, English and Korean, and among them, the Korean layout mainly uses the double layout. This double arrangement allows the user to input Hangul by inputting consonants of Hangul with the left hand and inputting vowels of Hangul with the right hand.

However, since most keyboards are used with both hands, a person with a disability who cannot use one hand loses the opportunity to use a computer.

In addition, the current keyboard is inconvenient for non-disabled people. Since the mouse is mainly used with the right hand, users who have a lot of cross-tasking between the mouse and the keyboard have to move their right hand alternately between the mouse and the keyboard.

Such excessive movement of the right hand not only gives a lot of fatigue to the user's wrist, but also slows down the work speed.

Hereinafter, an input system and input method according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 .

The vowel input group 130 is keys for inputting a Korean vowel, and a Korean vowel is input only when the space bar 150 is pressed. The vowel input group can be defined as a set of consonant keys belonging to a preset first group. For example, this vowel input group includes a first consonant key corresponding to 'c' and a second consonant corresponding to 'ㅇ'. key, a third consonant key corresponding to 'ㄴ' and a fourth consonant key corresponding to 'ㄹ'. In other words, the vowel input group may include the E key, D key, S key, and F key.

When an input operation is simultaneously provided to at least one consonant key of the first preset group and the first special key preset for at least a certain period of time, the input system of the present invention combines a combination of these input operations to input a preset vowel. action can be recognized. For example, when an input operation is applied to at least one consonant key of the above-described first group (ie, vowel input group) in a state in which an input operation is applied and maintained to a first special key, the input system of the present invention may recognize a combination of these input operations as an operation for inputting a preset vowel. Subsequently, when the input operation applied to the at least one consonant key of the first group is released while the input operation applied to the first special key is maintained, the input system of the present invention may input a preset vowel. . Here, the first special key may include, for example, the space bar 150.

As an example, a method of inputting Korean consonants using the space bar 150 and the Korean vowel key will be described in detail.

When input operations are simultaneously provided to the space bar 150 and the consonant key of 'c' (ie, the E key) for at least a certain period of time, the input system recognizes a combination of these input operations as an operation for inputting a preset vowel. can do. Thereafter, when the input operation applied to the E key is released while the input operation applied to the space bar 150 is still maintained, the input system may input 'ㅗ', which is a preset vowel. In other words, if the E key 131 is pressed while the space bar 150 is pressed, the space bar 150 and the E key 131 are simultaneously pressed for a specific period of time. Thus, the space bar 150 and the E key When (131) is simultaneously pressed for a certain period of time, the input system detects this and recognizes that a vowel is to be input. Then, while the space bar 150 is still pressed, the moment you release your hand from the pressed E key 131, the Korean vowel 'ㅗ' is input. Meanwhile, on the front side of the E key 131, the Korean vowel 'ㅗ' may be further arranged (or printed).

In the same way, after pressing the D key 134 while pressing the space bar 150, the moment you release your hand from the D key 134 while still pressing the space bar 150, the Korean vowel 'TT' appears. is entered Meanwhile, on the front side of the D key 134, a Korean vowel 'TT' may be further arranged (or printed).

In the same way, after pressing the S key 133 while pressing the space bar 150, the moment you release your hand from the S key 133 while still pressing the space bar 150, the Korean vowel 'sh' appears. is entered On the other hand, on the front side of the S key 133, a Korean vowel 'sh' character may be further arranged (or printed).

In the same way, after pressing the F key 132 while pressing the space bar 150, the moment you release your hand from the F key 132 while still pressing the space bar 150, the Korean vowel 'a' appears. is entered On the other hand, on the front side of the F key 132, a Korean vowel 'A' may be further arranged (or printed).

In the same way, after pressing the E key 131 and the F key 132 while holding down the space bar 150, simultaneously pressing the two keys 131 and 132 while still holding down the space bar 150. The moment you release your hand, the Korean vowel 'ㅣ' is entered. Here, when the E key 131 and the F key 132 are pressed, the pressing order is not particularly limited. In other words, it is okay to press the E key 131 first and then press the F key 132, and it is okay to press the F key 132 first and then press the E key 131, and also, the E key 131 and It is okay to simultaneously press the F key 132. In addition, when releasing the E key 131 and the F key 132 while still pressing the space bar 150, the order of releasing the hands is not necessarily limited to occurring at the same time. In other words, it is okay to first release your hand from the E key 131 and then release your hand from the F key 132, and it is also okay to release your hand from the E key 131 after first releasing your hand from the F key 132.

In the same way, after pressing the E key 131 and the S key 133 regardless of the order while pressing the space bar 150, while still pressing the space bar 150, the two keys 131, 133) at the same time, the Korean vowel 'ㅣ' is input.

In the same way, while pressing the space bar 150, press the D key 134 and the F key 132 regardless of the order, then, while still pressing the space bar 150, press the two keys 134, 132), the Korean vowel 'ㅡ' is input at the moment when you release your hands at the same time.

In the same way, after pressing the D key 134 and the S key 133 regardless of the order while pressing the space bar 150, while still pressing the space bar 150, the two keys 134, 133), the Korean vowel 'ㅡ' is input the moment you take your hands away.

On the other hand, when the keys corresponding to the consonant keys of the first group described above, for example, 'c', 'ㅇ', 'ㄴ', and 'ㄹ', are pressed alone without any combination with any key including the space bar , Each of the aforementioned 'c', 'ㅇ', 'b' and 'd' may be input, or the corresponding English letters, that is, 'E', 'D', 'S' and 'F' may be input ( In the case of English, it is entered in lowercase or uppercase depending on the setting).

Using these eight special key combinations, vowels can be input with the Korean consonant key. In addition, according to the present invention, other required vowels other than the vowels illustrated above may be further input by further combining the above eight key combinations in a different way.

For example, in the manner described above (e.g., after pressing the S key 133 while holding down the space bar 150, then releasing the S key 133 while still holding down the space bar 150) ) first enter the Korean vowel 'sh', and then press the S key 133 while pressing the space bar 150, then press the space bar 150 If the Korean vowel 'sh' is input again by releasing the hand from the S key 133 while still pressing , the first input Korean vowel 'sh' is converted into the Korean vowel 'ㅕ'.

In the same way, if the Korean vowel ‘a’ is input first and the Korean vowel ‘a’ is input again, the first input Korean vowel ‘a’ is converted to the Korean vowel ‘ㅑ’.

In the same way, if the Korean vowel ‘sh’ is input first and the Korean vowel ‘ㅣ’ is input again, the first input Korean vowel ‘sh’ is converted to the Korean vowel ‘ㅔ’.

In the same way, if the Korean vowel ‘a’ is input first and the Korean vowel ‘ㅣ’ is input again, the first input Korean vowel ‘a’ is converted to the Korean vowel ‘ㅐ’.

In the same way, if you input the Korean vowel 'sh' first and then input the Korean vowel 'sh' again, the first input Korean vowel 'sh' is changed to the Korean vowel 'ㅕ', and at this time, the Korean vowel 'ㅣ' If you input more, the Korean vowel 'ㅕ' is converted to the Korean vowel 'ㅖ'.

In the same way, if you input the Korean vowel 'a' first and then input the Korean vowel 'a' again, the first input Korean vowel 'a' is changed to the Korean vowel 'ㅑ', and at this time, the Korean vowel 'ㅣ' If you input more, the Korean vowel 'ㅑ' is converted to the Korean vowel 'ㅒ'.

Using the above vowel combination rule, all Korean vowels can be input using only the left hand using only the space bar 150 and the E, S, D, and F keys 130.

The modification group 110 is a key that serves as a Backspace key and an Enter key.

A key 111 having a function of a backspace key may be disposed at a position of a tab key of an existing keyboard instead of a function of a tab key. When the backspace key 111 is pressed alone, previously input characters may be deleted.

A key 112 having an Enter key function instead of a Caps Lock key may be disposed at a position of a Caps Lock key of an existing keyboard. When the enter key 112 is pressed alone, a line break is performed

A first punctuation mark may be input by a combination of the backspace key 111 or the enter key 112 while pressing the space bar 150 . The first punctuation marks may include, for example, commas, single quotation marks, and double quotation marks.

For example, after pressing the backspace key 111 while pressing the space bar 150, the moment you release your hand from the backspace key 111 while still pressing the space bar 150, the punctuation mark comma (, ) is entered. Meanwhile, punctuation marks such as ',' may be displayed (or printed) on the front surface of the backspace key 111 .

In the same way, after pressing the enter key 112 while pressing the space bar 150, the moment you release the enter key 112 while still pressing the space bar 150, the punctuation mark single quotation mark (' or ') is entered. Meanwhile, punctuation marks such as ' or ' may be displayed (or printed) on the front of the enter key 112 .

The symbol group 140 is a collection of keys for inputting question marks (?) and periods (.), which are symbols that cannot be entered with the left hand, and symbols are input only while pressing the space bar 150, otherwise ( That is, when the Q key 141 is pressed in a situation where no other key including the space bar is pressed), 'ㅁ' (or Q) is pressed, and 'ㅁ' (or A) can be input when the A key 142 is pressed have. In other words, the symbol group 140 can be defined as a set of consonant keys belonging to a preset second group. For example, this symbol group 140 is a fifth consonant key corresponding to 'ㅅ' and ' A sixth consonant key corresponding to 'ㅁ' may be included.

Meanwhile, according to another embodiment of the present invention, when an input operation is simultaneously provided to at least one preset vowel key and a first special key (eg, the space bar 150) for at least a certain period of time, the input system A combination of these input operations may be recognized as an operation for inputting a preset consonant. For example, when an input operation is applied to at least one vowel key in a state in which an input operation is applied to the space bar 150 and maintained, the input system converts a combination of such input operations into an operation for inputting a preset consonant. Recognizable. Thereafter, when the input operation applied to the at least one vowel key is released while the input operation applied to the space bar 150 is maintained, a preset consonant may be input.

As an example of this, a method of inputting Korean consonants using the space bar 150 and the Korean vowel key will be described in detail.

When an input operation is simultaneously provided to the space bar 150 and the vowel key corresponding to 'A' (ie, the K key) for at least a certain period of time, the input system uses a combination of these input operations to input a preset consonant. can be recognized as Thereafter, when the input operation applied to the K key is released while the input operation applied to the space bar 150 is still maintained, the input system may input a preset consonant 'ㅇ'. In other words, if the K key is pressed while pressing the space bar 150, the space bar 150 and the K key are simultaneously pressed for a specific period of time. Thus, the space bar 150 and the K key are simultaneously pressed for a specific period of time. When pressed, the input system detects this and recognizes that a vowel is to be entered. Then, while still pressing the space bar 150, the moment you release your hand from the pressed K key, the Korean consonant 'ㅇ' is input.

In this way, in the input system of the present invention, when input operations are simultaneously provided to at least one key and the space bar 150 for at least a certain period of time, a combination of such input operations is set to a value different from a value basically set for at least one key. Recognizable. In other words, in the input system of the present invention, when an input operation is applied to at least one key in a state where the input operation is applied to the space bar 150 and maintained, a combination of such input operations is basically applied to the at least one key. It can be recognized as a value different from the set value. Then, when the input operation applied to the at least one key is released while the input operation applied to the space bar 150 is maintained, the input system of the present invention may input another value.

Keys without special functions not mentioned above follow the arrangement of the existing two-bolt type keyboard.

Meanwhile, the input method of the present invention may include all of the above-described operating methods of the input system. For example, as one embodiment, the input method of the present invention, when an input operation is simultaneously provided to at least one consonant key of a preset first group and a preset first special key for at least a certain period of time, such an input A combination of actions is recognized as an action for inputting a preset vowel. For example, when an input operation is applied to at least one consonant key of the above-described first group (ie, vowel input group) in a state in which an input operation is applied and maintained to a first special key, the input method of the present invention may recognize a combination of these input operations as an operation for inputting a preset vowel. Thereafter, when the input operation applied to the at least one consonant key of the first group is released while the input operation applied to the first special key is maintained, the input method of the present invention may input a preset vowel. . Here, the first special key may include, for example, the space bar 150.

Meanwhile, letters corresponding to preset consonants may be further displayed (or printed) on the front surface of these vowel keys.

The input system and input method of the present invention described above may be applied not only to a mechanical keyboard but also to a virtual keyboard provided from a terminal including a touchable display (eg, a smartphone, a tablet, etc.). That is, the input system and method of the present invention can be applied to a virtual keyboard that is expressed as an object on a display and can be input by touch.

The above-described input system and input method may be implemented in the same manner as a program (or application) in a corresponding terminal (eg, personal computer, smart phone, etc.). In this case, the program may include a hooking program that intercepts and changes an input signal (eg, a keyboard message) input from an input device (eg, a computer keyboard). An input system including such a hooking program will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 3 .

3 is a block diagram illustrating a hooking program of an input system.

The hooking program of the input system 300 hooks the key input signal transmitted from the keyboard 100 to the operating system (OS) of the terminal, and the hooked key input signal is, for example, "the first After an input operation is applied to at least one consonant key of the first group in a state in which an input operation is applied and maintained to one special key, and in a state in which the input operation applied to the first special key is maintained, the first When the input operation applied to at least one consonant key of the group corresponds to an event when the key is released, the key input signal supplied from the operating system 200 to the application program 400 corresponds to the preset vowel It can be controlled to be changed to a key input signal.

As shown in FIG. 3, if the hooking program 300 hooks a key input signal event (for example, a keyboard message) between the operating system 200 and the application program 400, the hooking program 300 is an application program Prior to step 400, a corresponding keyboard message can be checked.

The procedure (ie, the hooking procedure) of the hooking program 300 is, for example, a callback function called by the operating system 200, and this hooking procedure is a system library of the operating system 200 (eg, a dynamic It exists inside a Dynamic Linked Library (DLL). An event as described above, for example, after an input operation is applied to at least one consonant key of the first group in a state in which an input operation is applied to and maintained to the first special key, and then applied to the first special key When an event when the input operation applied to the at least one consonant key of the first group is released while the input operation is maintained, the operating system 200 calls a registered hooking procedure, The dynamic link library of the called hooking procedure is forcibly loaded (or injected) into the memory space of the application (or process) 400. Accordingly, based on the callback function when the corresponding event occurs, the application, for example, , When the hand is released from the consonant key pressed together with the space bar 150, the above-described vowel is displayed.

With this hooking method, the aforementioned numbers, first punctuation marks, second punctuation marks, language changes, etc. may be input differently from original values or new values may be input.
