PURPOSE: A character input device for combining basic sentence patterns and inputting Hangul and English is provided to offer a character input unit to input the consonants and vowels of Hangul, the alphabet and numerals. CONSTITUTION: A character input device using basic sentence patterns is composed of a basic sentence pattern input part(40), a character recognition part(41) and a character output part(42). The basic sentence pattern input part(40) inputs basic sentence patterns extracted from the configurations of basic characters. The character recognition part(41) combines the inputted basic sentence patterns and recognizes them using the basic characters. The character output part(42) outputs the recognized characters. The basic sentence pattern input part(40) is composed of sub input parts. One basic sentence pattern is allocated to each sub input part. If basic sentence patterns are sequentially inputted by the basic sentence pattern input part(40), the inputted basic sentence patterns are combined and recognized as the basic characters.

Description

Character input device that inputs Korean and English by combining basic sentences {.}

The present invention relates to a proposed character input device in order to overcome the difficulty in entering characters due to the limitation of the number of buttons in a small device such as a mobile phone, a pager, and the basic form in Korean consonants and vowels, numbers, and alphabets of English. After extracting a few basic sentence forms, and by combining only the basic sentence to enable the input of the entire character, by configuring the input unit only the basic sentence to input the entire character from the computer keyboard with a small number of input buttons It is related to a character input device using a basic sentence type that can input a character as it does.

In modern times, information communication devices such as mobile phones, pagers, small game consoles, and remote controllers are becoming smaller, and the number of input buttons is decreasing. However, as the function is improved in inverse proportion to the reduction in size, the necessity of inputting characters continues to increase. As a result, it is necessary to input several characters such as Korean, Arabic numerals and English with a limited input button. In order to overcome this problem, the present invention provides a basic sentence form that can best represent them from basic characters (Korean: consonant, vowel, English: alphabet, Arabic numeral, etc.). By extracting and reconstructing the characters by combining the basic sentence types, the character input device that can easily input all the characters by sequentially inputting the basic sentence shapes as in a computer keyboard even with a limited input button (for example, a mobile phone). To propose.

For example, a mobile phone, which is a small, generalized product using a Korean input device, is described. For example, since only 10 text input keys are used, a plurality of consonants, vowels, and alphabets must be assigned to a single button. Therefore, the user selects one letter by finding the consonant, vowel, or alphabet to be input from the button and pressing the button as many times as necessary, and then moves to the next space with the cursor movement key and selects the next letter in the same way as above. do. This method is very inconvenient because the user does not enter the characters, but combines the characters one by one to make them, and it is difficult to input a large amount of characters because the input method is difficult and cannot input Korean and alphabet simultaneously. Character input is very inconvenient. In order to overcome this problem, each mobile communication company provides a text service. When the sender calls the operator and calls a character to be transmitted, the operator enters the text and receives the receiver.

Among the products of the mobile phone of the parent company, we try to increase the efficiency of text input by introducing the input method called Cheonjiin, but this is also applied only to Korean vowels, which must be input 2 or 3 times depending on the type of each vowel. In the case of consonants, since the circle is used as it is, there is no significant progress compared to the conventional input method.

Example of entering Korean vowels of a parent company

In case of inputting as above, in case of ㅑ, ㅕ, ㅛ, ㅠ, only one vowel should be pressed, and the cursor movement button must be pressed to input the next character.

The present invention proposes a Korean character input apparatus capable of inputting consonants, vowels, and numbers of Korean characters as a limited input means (for example, the number of input buttons) to overcome the above problems. The present invention also proposes a character input apparatus capable of inputting alphabets with a limited number of input means. In addition, the present invention proposes a character input device capable of inputting Korean, lowercase alphabetic characters, and uppercase alphabetic characters through mode conversion in one input means.

Therefore, the present invention proposes to extract the basic sentence type that can best represent the character from each basic character to input Korean and English as a limited input means (for example, a button), and only one basic sentence type for each input button. By independently assigning, by pressing buttons sequentially, we propose an array of input buttons that allow basic characters to be entered continuously. In addition, the present invention proposes a character input device that can be sequentially input characters without a separate cursor movement by forming a basic character by combining the base sentence in an even number in order to automatically recognize between the character and the character. In addition, the present invention proposes a character input device that can be applied to the mobile phone by inputting the character input device in the arrangement of buttons that can input the Hangul, uppercase alphabet, lowercase alphabet letters with a minimum combination of buttons, Suggest.

4-Configuration diagram of a character input device using a basic sentence

The configuration of the present invention is a basic sentence type extracted from basic characters (eg, Korean consonants and vowels, English alphabet, Arabic numerals), an input unit for inputting the basic sentence, a character recognition unit recognized as a character as the input basic sentence And an output unit for outputting the recognized character. Since the input unit, the character recognition unit, and the output unit are almost similar to the functions of the input unit, character recognition unit, and output unit of the conventional character input device, the description of the above portions is omitted in the present invention. This chapter describes the definition of basic sentences, the relationship between basic sentences and basic characters, and character conversion relationships.

First, the basic sentence extracted for each basic character and the combination of the original basic character are as follows.

1. The consonants of Hangul are composed of a, b, c, d, k, k, k, k, k, k, k, k, k, h, vowels, k, k, k, k, k, k It consists of ㅛ, TT, ㅠ, ㅡ, ㅣ, By suggesting a basic sentence type that best represents the consonants and vowels, and combining the two basic sentence types, a device for inputting basic characters is proposed.

Table 1 describes the contents of entering Korean consonants and vowels using basic sentences. In addition, it can be changed into various forms through the transformation and combination of basic sentences that can represent consonants and vowels.The basic sentence patterns can be extracted from the consonants and vowel forms, and they are combined twice to form consonants and vowels. It is to be included in the technical idea of the present invention to construct a character in the form as in 1).

2. The English alphabet is A, V, C, D, E, F, V, H, I, V, V, L, M, N, O, P, V, R, S, T, V, V, V In order to represent the alphabet as a basic sentence, a basic sentence type of the alphabet is proposed, and an apparatus for inputting the alphabet by combining two basic sentence forms is proposed.

Table 2 shows the contents of entering the alphabet using the basic sentence. In addition, it may be changed to various forms through modification and combination of the basic sentence type that can represent the alphabet, extracting the basic sentence form from the form of the alphabet, and represent the alphabet by combining as shown in Table 3, included in the technical idea of the present invention Will be natural.

Hereinafter, an input unit for inputting the basic sentences will be described. The input unit may be input by hand or foot, or in various ways, and may also vary in type, button type, touch type, click type hitting, etc. In the present invention, only the button type is mentioned, but the rest of the touch type and the like may be used. There will be no difficulty in applying it.

1 illustrates an example of arranging buttons for inputting Korean and English. 1) a) layout for the Hangul input unit, b) is a layout view of the English input unit, and c) shows the input unit of English and Korean at the same time.

First, the Hangul input unit a) is explained. The method of inputting Hangul in a) of FIG. In order to input as shown in Figure 6, the consonant input unit and the vowel input unit are separately shown to distinguish the input of the consonant and the vowel. In FIG. 1, the consonant input units are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8, and the vowel input units are 5, 7, 8, and 9. 5 and 8 of the consonant input unit and the vowel input unit are configured to overlap each other.

-5 or 6 inputted in pairs 7 or 9: recognized as a vowel sentence.

5 and 6 inputted in pairs with the consonant input unit: recognized as a consonant sentence type

10. 12 in Fig. 1A) are buttons for cursor input. Number 11 can be used for blanks or other functions. As described in Table 1) c. When you enter consonants and vowels in a), you need to move the cursor to enter the next sentence because the consonants and vowels are composed of two basic sentences. For example

-If you enter 'baby' : Words are formed by consonants 1, vowel 1, consonants 2, vowel 2, and no cursor movement is required.

-If you enter 'galchi' : consonants 1, vowels 1, consonants 1. Words are formed by consonants 2 and vowels 2, and no cursor movement is required.

-'Read' input : consonant 1, vowel 1, consonant 1 consonant 1, consonant 2, vowel 2 are input, so no separate cursor movement is required.

-If you enter 'up' : Consonants 1, vowels 1, consonants 1, consonants 2, vowels 2 are entered as 'musicians'. Therefore, enter 'ah', move the cursor, and enter 'ka'.

As described above, when a separate cursor movement is performed, it may be about 10% of the total, so that characters may be continuously input as if a character is input from a computer keyboard. 1) shows an example of an arrangement of a basic sentence type for Hangul input. The order of the arrangement and the shape of the basic sentence form may be modified or arranged, but this is obviously included in the technical spirit of the present invention.

Hereinafter, the English input key of FIG. 1B will be described. The English input method forms one alphabet by combining two basic sentences as described in Table 2. The character input method forms one alphabet when two basic sentences are input, automatically moves the cursor and waits for the next character input. It is a button for cursor movement of 20 and 22, and 21 is a button for changing upper and lower case letters.

Figure 1 b) shows an example of the arrangement of the basic sentence type for English input, it can be arranged by modifying the order of the arrangement, the shape of the basic sentence form, which is naturally included in the technical spirit of the present invention. Figure 3 shows an example of various arrangements using the basic sentence.

Hereinafter, description will be given of input keys in which both Korean and English inputs are possible at the same time. 1) is an example of arrangement of a) Korean input unit and b) English input unit of FIG. Mode conversion and usage method of English and Korean are as follows.

Table 4 describes how to input Korean and English, and can be arranged in various forms by changing the form of the basic sentence, the order of the arrangement, and the function of the buttons, but extracting the basic sentence form from the basic character. Combining the two basic sentence forms the original basic character, and if the character input unit is formed in a form in which it is independently assigned to each input button, it is naturally within the technical scope of the present invention.

As described above, when inputting basic characters in basic sentences, various sentences such as English, Korean, numbers, and symbols can be easily input from a limited input unit, thus bringing a notable change in the character input method of mobile phones which are widely used now. . Various game machines, character input devices using remote controllers, character input devices on Internet TVs, character input devices using scaffolding (e.g., character input devices similar to those of current DDR game devices), and miniaturization of informatization devices involving character input in the future It is expected to make a significant contribution.
