KR20010083120A - Alphabet input device on keypad and its method - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: An apparatus and a method for inputting an alphabet in a key pad are provided to input easily an alphabet in a key pad by compositing efficiently the key pad of a small number such as a telephone number key pad. CONSTITUTION: An alphabet is inputted in a key pad by using a repeated selection method. An identical continuous typing delay time and a different continuous typing delay time are differently set up when the alphabet is inputted repeatedly in the key pad. The identical continuous typing delay time is to recognize the second input alphabet when an identical button is inputted twice in the key pad. The different continuous typing delay time is to recognize the first input alphabet when the identical button is inputted twice in the key pad. The alphabet is divided into arbitrary groups. The divided groups are assigned to arbitrary buttons of the key pad. A predetermined relationship is formed between representative alphabets and succeeding alphabets of each group.

Description

Alphabet input device and its method in keypad {omitted}

[Technology Field]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an alphabet input device and method thereof in a keypad, and more particularly, to an alphabet input device and a method thereof in a keypad having a small number of keys such as a telephone keypad.

Background

With the development of mobile communication, a function of transmitting and receiving digital information such as text has been added to a voice call-oriented portable terminal. Therefore, initially, a keypad provided in a portable terminal for the purpose of inputting a telephone number also includes a means for inputting a character. However, since the size of the keypad used as an input means of the portable terminal becomes smaller, the number of buttons included in the keypad has its limit. On the other hand, the alphabet of each language greatly exceeds the number of twelve keys included in the keypad. Therefore, in order to input one alphabet by using the telephone keypad, one or two or more buttons on the keypad must be combined to represent the alphabet.

Detailed description of the invention

In summary, the invention presented in the applicant's prior application (Application Nos. 10-2000-0031879 and PCT / KR00 / 00601) is as follows.

First, according to the "partial full selection method", a predetermined number of grids are formed in a form corresponding to the arrangement of all buttons in the keypad to each button on the keypad, and the alphabets are arranged on the grids, and the alphabet to be input (hereinafter referred to as "target alphabet"). The desired alphabet is input by pressing and combining a second button on the keypad corresponding to the arrangement position of the alphabet in the grids of the first button and the first button arranged with " For example, in Fig. 1-1, "A = [1] + [2] is input.

Among the grids of buttons, some grids are used, including the reference grid in which the first and second buttons are the same, and some grids are used, but the convenience of the combination of the first and second buttons is high. Using a grid of orders first was the key to the partial partial selection method. In this way, the core of the partial partial selection method lies in the reference grid, and the keypad that can utilize the concept of the reference grid is named "reference keypad."

Next, the standard repeat selection method is the number of pushes of the buttons in the order of close proximity to the reference grid from the alphabet of the reference grid position on the reference keypad configured to apply the partial full selection method. According to the method was to select the alphabet. The standard repetition selection method is to apply the repetitive selection method to the standard keypad. The dedicated selection method of the standard keypad is named as “simple keypad”. For convenience, the repetitive selection method is applied to the simple keypad as is conventionally used. This is called the simple iteration selection method.

There was a "control processing method", which included "subscript control method" and "following control method". The subscript control method was a method of inputting a modified alphabet by combining a subscripted control and a basic alphabet when inputting a modified alphabet consisting of a subscript and a basic alphabet. Subsequent control processing method sets a group of alphabets assigned to a button in the relation between the representative alphabet and the subsequent alphabet, and inputs the subsequent alphabet by combining the representative alphabet and the sub-orders attached to the representative alphabet when entering the subsequent alphabet. It was to make it. For example, in FIG. 4-1, it can be entered as "ㅋ = ㄱ + [*]".

Subscript control and subsequent alphabet control processing are essentially similar and subsequent control processing is considered more general. In the case of subscript control processing, it is considered that the modified alphabet is attached to the basic alphabet in a certain alphabetic group in a certain order. In the case of the superscript control process, since the modified alphabet can be decomposed into subscripts and basic alphabets, the alphabet group has a strong association in its shape, and the subsequent control has a strong association in the order or pronunciation. to be.

The advantage of applying the control treatment method is that it is possible to simplify the arrangement of the keypad by not displaying the subsequent alphabet (or modified alphabet) on the keypad through the relationship between the basic alphabet and the subsequent alphabet (or modified alphabet). The control process allowed the alphabets to be entered without ambiguity. The simplified keypad, excluding the subsequent alphabet, was referred to as "sequence keypad." The simplified keypad, excluding the modified alphabet, was called "simplified keypad." Keypads displaying all subsequent alphabets (or modified alphabets) were referred to as "full display pads" in contrast to simplified keypads.

In the whole display pad, it is possible to input subsequent alphabets (or modified alphabets) through the control method. On the contrary, in the simplified keypad, the user who remembers the layout of the whole display pad can use the input method in the whole display pad. . Thus, the simplified keypad can be extended to configure the entire display pad, and the compatibility of being able to input subsequent alphabets through the control processing method according to the user's convenience was one of the characteristics of the previous application.

One of the effects of applying the control treatment method is, in addition to the effect of eliminating ambiguity, by "hiding" the subsequent alphabets without displaying them on the keypad through the relationship between the representative alphabets and the subsequent alphabets, as shown in the earlier application, The keypad can be simplified. This is called "hidden control method" for convenience. However, as mentioned in the earlier application, subsequent alphanumeric characters (or modified alphanumeric characters) may also be entered through the control method in the entire display pad where the keypad is displayed. This is called "non-hidden control method" for convenience.

The present invention proposes an improvement on the extension of the applicant's prior application (Application Nos. 10-2000-0031879 and PCT / KR00 / 00601). In addition, this paper suggests a method of inputting common phrases with a small number of strokes by a shorthand input method, and applies a parallel input method that uses both a shorthand input method and a full input method. We present a way to improve the convenience of input. In addition, the present invention proposes a method for inputting various symbols on a keypad that is presented, and a method of using a navigation button that is not frequently used in an alphabet input mode among the navigation buttons as a control button.

Since it is essential to give a specific example in view of the characteristics of the present invention, the details will be described through the embodiment.

First, the contents of the application for each language are supplemented as follows. It is obvious that any of the contents mentioned in any one of the following languages can be applied to other languages without being specifically mentioned in other languages.

1. Common Supplements

1.1 Scope of application of the keypad in the present application and the present invention

It is apparent that the keypad disclosed in the present application and the present invention can be applied to all fields in the form of a telephone keyboard, such as a numeric keypad of a mobile terminal or a standard keypad or a keypad or door lock configured in software on a screen. In addition, the numeric keypad provided on the standard keyboard is different from the arrangement of the keypad and the numeric buttons presented in the earlier application and the present invention, it is apparent that the arrangement on the keypad button in the prior application and the present invention can also be applied to the keypad provided in the keyboard. For example, in the present application and in the present invention, the alphabet disposed on the [1] button is placed on the [1] button of the numeric keypad provided on the keyboard, and in the same manner below, alphabet input, utilization of simple codes, and memorization of various codes. Can be used for

1.2 Setting the Delay Time and Its Delay Time

In languages where consonants and vowels appear alternately, such as Korean and Hindi, a method of assigning a pair of representative consonants and a representative vowel to each button, and selecting one consonant as two vowels, For example, if the algorithm is implemented to recognize the same input button within the interval of 0.1 second) as a vowel, it can be efficiently implemented while reducing the objection to the user. This delay time should be determined in consideration of the time interval that is commonly pressed for a certain time when the same button is continuously pressed. This delay time is referred to as " hit delay time " for convenience. In addition, it can be implemented to recognize two consonants of the same button 2 input more than a certain delay time (for example, 1 second) interval. This delay time is referred to as "ita delay time" for convenience. This may also apply to pressing the same button three or more times.

For example, if [1] + [1] is input with a delay time of 0.08 seconds in Fig. 4-1 or 4-2, it is first recognized as a vowel “ㅗ”, and a 1.1 second delay time is shown. If it is input with the first, it is recognized as two consonants ("a", "a"). If it is input with a time delay of 0.5 seconds, it is possible to determine whether one vowel is input or two consonants are input through the consonant and the vowel appearance structure of the language. In addition, even when a delay time of 0.08 sec or 1.1 sec is input, it is possible to finally determine whether one vowel is input or two consonants are input through the consonant and the vowel appearance structure of the corresponding language.

Conventionally, only one time interval (for example, 1 second) is set, and if the same button is continuously input within the corresponding time, it is recognized as two consecutive strokes. The difference is that the time delay value (e.g. 0.1 second), which is determined as two consecutive strokes, is different from the time delay value (e.g., 1 second), which is determined by one stroke each.

In general, it is considered that the repetition selection method is superior in terms of convenience of input among the partial partial selection method and the repetitive selection method of the prior application. Therefore, this means that the ambiguity can be largely avoided by using the structure of a specific language in which consonants and vowels alternate, while taking advantage of the repetition selection method (simplification and convenience of input rules). By setting the delay time differently and allowing the user to specify, there is an advantage that the implementation of the algorithm can be simplified.

1.3 Chain Control Method

In the previous application, the subscript control method is essentially the same as the subsequent control method, and the subsequent control method is the more general method. In other words, in the Korean example of the previous application, the relationship between a, ㅋ, and 설명 was explained as the relation between the representative alphabet and the modified alphabet, and it was explained as ㅋ = a + {beep}, ㄲ = a + {beep}. This is because the result is the same even if it is placed in the relation between the representative alphabet and the subsequent alphabet such as ㅋ (2nd) and ㄲ (3rd).

In the Japanese of Fig. 2-1, the input example by the subsequent control processing method is shown again as follows. Select あ with [1] button 1 (A = Representative Alphabet), い (2nd), う (3rd), え (4th), お (5th). 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th controls can be placed on any control button (eg [*]) and repeatedly selected according to the number of times the button is pressed. Can be. For convenience, the control is selected with braces. For example, when applying input after control, あ = [1], い = あ + {2nd} = [1] + [*], う = あ + {3rd} = [1] + [*] + [*], え = あ + {4th} = [1] + [*] + [*] + [*], お = あ + {5th} = [1] + [ *] + [*] + [*] + [*]

Here again, the relationship between the representative alphabet and the subsequent alphabet, such as あ (representative alphabet), い (2nd), う (3rd), え (4th), お (5th), place the subsequent control on the control button and repeat the selection method. Rather than selecting it, you can select the "Continue" or "Next" control by pressing a specific control button (e.g. [*]) once, and enter the second alphanumeric alphabet (e.g. Enter a combination of "next control" (that is, い = あ + {next} = あ + [*]), and enter the preceding alphabet (below second alphabet) for the third alphabet after the third alphabet. Representative alphabets (secondary representative alphabets) can be entered by combining the second and subsequent alphabets with the "next control". That is, う = い + {next} = [1] + [*] + [*]. Likewise, if you enter the fourth alphabet following え, the preceding alphabet (third alphabet) is regarded as the new representative alphabet for the fourth alphabet, and you enter え = う + {next} = You can type [1] + [*] + [*] + [*]. The same applies to the fifth successor alphabet.

This result is the same as inputting a combination of a representative alphabet and a subordinate control while placing a subordinate control (2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, ...) on the control button and selecting it by the repeated selection method. . Here, if the first representative alphabet あ can be selected without ambiguity, it is easy to see that the second successive alphabet い can be entered without ambiguity, and the same is true for the remaining subsequent alphabets. That is, え = い + {next} = [1] + [*] + [*], where い can be entered without ambiguity, and い is also combined with "next control", resulting in subsequent alphabets without ambiguity. You can enter え.

In this relation between the representative alphabet and the subsequent alphabet, the control button does not have a subordinate ranking control, and only one "next" control is used. When the next alphabet is input, the preceding alphabet is regarded as a new representative alphabet and the next alphabet is "next". The method of inputting a combination of controls is called "chain-type follow-up control method" for convenience. Even if the prior application does not display the subordinate control on the subsequent control button, the user is aware that the specific button is the succeeding control button. However, the advantage of the chained subsequent control method is that the "next control" is displayed on the control button. Even if it is displayed, the display can be simplified. In the present invention, since the results of the "subsequent control processing method" and the "chain-type subsequent control processing method" described in the prior application are the same, they are used interchangeably.

1.4 Skip Control Action

Modified alphabet consisting of ".. + e" in the superscript control method In inputting, we showed that we can input .. and e in combination. Alternatively, you could enter e as the base alphabet and the rest of the appended alphabets that are related to it in shape or rank, followed by a combination of sub-orders and base alphabets (e.g. e (basic alphabet), In addition, the control buttons, which can be placed only in combination with alphabets (ie, specific number buttons), can be used to enter a modified alphabet or a subsequent alphabet without ambiguity.

11 for French in Roman The modified alphabet of is used, and the type of upper point used in the modified alphabet is 5 (/,^,｀,..,s). If the selection order of subscript control is /,^,｀,..,s, you should input ^ a = a + [*] + [*]. However, in French, the alphabet a can only combine two subscripts "｀" and "^", so the subscript "/" cannot be appended, and if it is skipped to allow the subscript "^" to be selected, ^ a = You can type a + [*]. This is referred to as "skip control method" for convenience. In other words, this is the same as entering a subsequent alphabet (or modified alphabet) as a control method with the sub-alphabetic order like a (basic alphabet), ｀ a (2nd), ＾ a (3rd).

Similarly, in Japanese, the only long lines are つ of the alphabets of line あ, や, and た, and the only lines of turbid sound are kan, さ, た, ほ, and semitones. It exists only in the alphabet of lines. As a result, it can be seen that there are two modified alphabets of long sound and tuck sound in the alphabet つ, and two modified alphabets of tuck sound and semi-tuck sound in the alphabet of row. Therefore, it is possible to press the subscript control button once when inputting the modified alphabet of the remaining alphabet except the six alphabets in which the two modified alphabets exist. For example, if the control button is set to the [*] button and the control input is applied, あ = あ + [*], か = か + [*]. In the case of six alphabets in which two variant alphabets exist, the control can be selected in order of use of the modified alphabet when inputting the modified alphabet. For example, if you set the control button to [*] button and apply post-control input, つ = つ + [*], づ = つ + [*] + [*], ぼ = ほ + [ *], ぽ = ほ + [*] + [*] This means that in selecting controls, controls that cannot be combined with the default alphabet will have no effect. For example, even if が = か + [*], [*] can be treated as selecting a long sound control rather than a long sound control, the basic alphabet 되는 combined with the control has no long sound, so the long sound control is not selected. This is because the skip sound control is selected.

The advantage of strict control selection is that it allows input of alphabets that are not actually used. For example, there is no alphabet with the subscript ".." in the French alphabet b, but it is possible to input such an alphabet, and there is no alphabet with a check mark in the Japanese alphabet あ, but such an alphabet can also be entered. You can do it.

Even if the control is selected as the repetitive selection method, if the representative alphabet displayed on the keyboard can be entered without ambiguity when entering through control processing (for example, there is only one or several representative alphabets displayed on the keyboard) ), The remaining subsequent alphabets can also be entered without ambiguity. This is because the ambiguity is removed through the control process, because the control does not represent a specific alphabet by itself, but must be combined with another alphabet.

1.5 Input by control method of number and English alphabet

As presented in the previous application, it has been explained that it is possible to arrange the national language alphabet in "order close to the reference grid", and then to place numbers and English alphabets. It has been explained that alphabets and numbers can be selected. Similarly, in applying the subsequent control processing method, not only the local alphabet belonging to a specific button, but also a number and an English alphabet (if not a roman language) can be input through the subsequent control processing method.

Numbers or English alphabets may be placed in the alphabet following the national language. For convenience, for example, in Japanese, あ (representative alphabet), い (2nd), う (3rd), え (4th), お (5th), 1 (6th),. (7th), q (8th), You can put it like z (9th). In addition, if there are available buttons for controlling numbers or English alphabets, the control buttons for あ (represented alphabet), い (2nd), う (3rd), え (4th), お (5th) can be selected as For example, the [*] button), and the other button (for example, the [#] button) as a number or a button for English alphabet, あ (represented alphabet), 1 (2nd),. (3rd), q ( 4th), z (5th) can be entered to enter numbers or the English alphabet. For example, 1 = あ + [#] = [1] + [#],. = あ + [#] + [#] = [1] + [#] + [#], q = あ + [#] + [#] + [#] = [1] + [#] + [#] + [#] If a control button is available, you can set a separate control button for entering numbers and a control button for English alphabets.

This can be applied to other languages, and can also be applied to input of various symbols described later.

1.6 Grouping according to the pronunciation of the English alphabet

In constructing the keypad for each language in the previous application, considering the application of the control processing method and the use for memorization, the alphabet was grouped into similar pronunciation groups and assigned to each numeric button. In the case of English, a method of assigning each group to each number button by grouping alphabets by 3 or 4 according to the dictionary order is widely used, but it is also possible to group and assign each number button in consideration of the similarity of pronunciation. The following are some examples of English consonants grouped into nine groups according to the similarity of pronunciation.

BP / CSX / DT / FVH / GKQ / JZ / LR / MN / WY

BPV / CSX / DT / FH / GKQ / JZ / LR / MW / NY

The following is an example of grouping English consonants into eight groups.

BFPV / CGKQ / SX / DT / JZ / LR / MWH / NY

BFPV / CGKQ / SX / DT / JZ / LR / MN / WYH

Many variations are possible in addition to the above examples. Five vowels can be placed in a grouped group of two. This can be convenient when applying the short input method using the simple code described later. In the case of a non-English language, in assigning the grouped English alphabet to each button, it may be assigned in consideration of similarity with the native language pronunciation group. For example, in the case of Korean, the G, K, and Q groups are assigned to a button assigned a similar letter "ㄱ". In Japanese, the G, K, and Q groups are assigned to a button assigned a similar letter "か". Therefore, even in the grouping of English alphabets, it can be grouped considering the national language alphabet grouping of each language.

2. Supplements for Each Language

In the following, the contents of the application for each language are supplemented and developed. If the content described in the supplement for each language can be applied to another language, it is obvious that it can be applied in other languages without special indication.

2.1 English

In the case of English, it is possible to input alphabets other than the representative alphabets on the keyboard even through the control process, as the subsequent alphabets can be entered through the control processing method in the entire display pad. In English, subsequent controls (2nd, 3rd) can be placed on the same control button (for example, the [#] button), and can be placed separately from each other (for example, [*], [ #] button). In the case of English, when ABC is placed on one button, if A is represented as a representative alphabet, B and C are input through subsequent control processing, and if B is represented as a representative alphabet, A and C are subsequent control processing. It is entered through. As mentioned in the earlier filings, the sub-categories of representative alphabets and subsequent alphabets may be determined in consideration of the frequency of use.

For example, in the A, B, and C groups, A is the representative alphabet, the 2nd and 3rd controls are placed on the [*] button, and after the control is applied, B = A + {2nd} = [2] + [*] , C = A + {3rd} = [2] + [*] + [*] If B is the representative alphabet, the 2nd and 3rd controls are placed on the [*] and [#] buttons, respectively, and the input is applied after the control, A = B + {2nd} = [2] + [*], C = B + {3rd} = [2] + [#]. 1-2 is an example in which the alphabets in the center of each group of alphabets are placed in the center with representative alphabets in the center, and subsequent alphabets are disposed on the left and right sides. D = E + {2nd} = [3] + [*].

In addition, when four alphabets of P, Q, R, and S are assigned to the [7] button, and four alphabets of W, X, Y, and Z are assigned to the [9] button, as indicated in the Korean embodiment of the earlier application, In addition, one of the four alphabets may be placed on a grid forming a top and bottom adjacent combination to apply the partial partial selection method. See Figure 1-3.

2.2 Japanese

In the case of Japanese in the previous application, the alphabet can be grouped on the basis of the 50th degree, and the subsequent control processing can be performed using the alphabets of the column (あ, か, さ, ...) as the representative alphabet and the remaining alphabet as the subsequent alphabet. Yes, he said in the election. In applying the sub-categories of subsequent alphabets set forth in the earlier application, the 50th note may be simply applied, as in the following table, almost similar to the previous method 3. This can be user friendly with the simplicity of the subordinates. N can be treated as if belonging to any representative alphabet, as in the previous application. In addition, it can be regarded as having a 50-digit alphabet (eg, い, う, え) attached to an empty space on the ya line or the wa line, or an n.

In the case of Japanese, the alphabet of the first stage, which is considered to be the most representative for convenience in Japanese, is represented as the representative alphabet.Also, the alphabet of any stage can be represented as the alphabet, and the arbitrary alphabet in each group can be represented as the representative alphabet. You may. Also, in assigning the alphabet of each row to each button, as mentioned in the earlier application, the row of buttons on the keypad is referred to ([1], [2], [3], [4], ...). You can also assign columns to the columns, or you can assign columns to the criteria ([3], [6], [9], [2], [5], ...). Similarly, you can assign them arbitrarily without assigning them by row or column.

Also, in the Japanese example of the previous application, when "ん" is set to the reference grid position of the [0] button, and the [*] button and the [#] button have 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, 5th controls, respectively, the [0] button is pressed. In order to use as a control button for long sound / bass sound / semitone sound, it was assumed that "N" is assigned to an arbitrary number button instead of [0] button. In this case, however, the "0" may be placed at the reference grid position of the [0] button, and additionally, the long sound / taking / half tone sound control may be arranged in the order close to the reference grid, and the repeat selection method may be applied to the control selection. This is because "ん" does not appear consecutively in a single word. See Figure 2-1. This selection of alphabets that do not appear in succession to one button on which the alphabet is placed, and the choice of other controls for two, three, ... are applicable to all other languages. This property is also used in the method using the vowel elements of Korean described below.

2-3 Arabic

There are 28 consonants in Arabic. Group the Arabic consonants that have the meaning of numbers in the previous application as follows and assign them to the keypad buttons, and place each alphabet with the meaning of the smallest number as the representative alphabet of each group at the position of the reference grid and the rest of the alphabet Has been proposed to place them on the keypad in order from the alphabet with the meaning of the small number to the reference grid in the order nearest to the reference lattice. In addition, the previous application suggested a method of inputting the alphabet by the control process in the case of Japanese, Roman alphabet language, Korean, Indian, and Arabic. In the case of Arabic as well, vowels that are rarely used are regarded as subscripts, and a subscript control method has been suggested.

Here, we will present a method of controlling Arabic consonants. The following is an example of grouping Arabic consonants and assigning them to each button.

Among the alphabets having the meaning of 1, 10, and 100 assigned to the [1] button, the alphabet having the meaning of 1 may be displayed on the keypad with a representative alphabet, and the alphabet having the meaning of the remaining 10, 100 may be subsequently controlled. The control button can use any button as in the previous application. If a follow-up control buttons using the [*] button, and place the 2 ^nd, 3 ^rd control, the average input strokes in the input consonant is Tagawa 2. Since only one alphabet is placed per button, it is not necessary to select the partial partial selection method in selecting the alphabet displayed on the button. Since the arrangement of the alphabet is conceptual, it may not be arranged on the keypad as described below.

Again, as in the Japanese case of the earlier filing, subsequent controls can be separated by other buttons. For example, if assigned to 3 ^rd control distributed to the [#] button, the average input-bats and is about 1.7 Others ((1 + 2 + 2) / 3) can be entered without ambiguity, as suggested by the 28 consonants in the earlier application Will be.

The present application shows an example in which an alphabet with a small number is represented as a representative alphabet of each group regardless of the frequency of use of the alphabet of each unit, and an alphabet with a small number is also selected first in the alphabet of the remaining units. . The control can be pre-input or post-input.

If all the following controls are placed in the [*] button, the alphabet of 1 unit is the representative alphabet, and the control button pre-input is applied when selecting the 10 unit alphabet. Become, Becomes The same is true for the rest of the alphabet. In this case, the [#] button can also be used for vowel control processing.

If only one alphabet with a meaning of 1000 is placed on the [0] button, At input Becomes An alphabet meaning 1000 can be treated as a group alphabet. in this case Will be. Or an alphabet meaning 1000 means an alphabet meaning 70 ), With the dot attached, it is also possible to control the dot control by selecting it before various collection controls. In other words, when inputting the point control = {Point control} + Can be entered. This dot control process can be allowed in parallel with other input methods in other alphabets with dot characters. In this case, it is easy to use the [0] button as a control button for another purpose (for example, a vowel control button).

If the separation of the control by the 3 ^rd control (in this case, the control unit 100) to the [#] button 200 having the sense of the alphabet Becomes In this case, too, as in the case of Japanese of the previous application On input, Can be allowed in parallel. If the alphabet meaning 1000 belongs to one group alphabet, or Becomes I.e., [*] in the button that is arranged in 2 ^nd, 3 ^rd, 4 ^th control and can be thought that the 3 ^rd, the 4 ^th control arrangement in the [#] button. In consideration of a fact that the Arab left horizontal writing from the right, that is assigned a 2 ^nd, 3 ^rd, 4 ^th control the [#] button, it is also possible to place the 3 ^rd, 4 ^th control the [*] button .

This means that in Arabic, a consonant that is used mostly on average is about 1.7 grams and can be entered without ambiguity, and because Arabs know the meaning of the numbers in their native alphabet, There is a great advantage in that the alphabet can be entered without displaying the unit alphabet, that is, the representative alphabet. In other words, when applying the method in the present application through the keypad displayed only with numbers, which unit alphabet is the representative alphabet, which unit is the control button for which unit alphabet, and the subsequent control uses one control button. If you are familiar with the rules, such as the order of selection for each subsequent control, and whether you pre-populate the control, you can enter most alphabets (Arabic consonants) needed in real life.

As pointed out in the earlier filings, vowels can also be controlled. If both [#] and [*] are used for consonant control, an alphabet with a meaning of 1000 is assigned to the [0] button, as in the Japanese of the earlier filing. Instead of arranging it, it is placed in the [1] button for control processing, and the [0] button can be designated as a control button for vowel processing, and a subscript type vowel (collection control, subscript control) can be selected by the repeated selection method. Similarly, the vowel control (subscript vowel) is selected according to the number of button presses in order of frequency of use. If only one [*] is used as a subsequent control button for consonants, you can use [#] as a control button for vowels, or use both [#] and [0].

In the example of FIGS. 3-1 and 3-2, the alphabet (1 unit alphabet) having the meaning of 1 to 9 is represented as the representative alphabet of each group, but the most frequently used alphabet in each group may be represented as the representative alphabet. . And in order to reduce confusion, the alphabet of any unit among 1 unit alphabet (alpha having a meaning of 1 to 9), 10 unit alphabet (alpha having a meaning of 10 to 90), and 100 unit alphabet (alpha having a meaning of 100 to 900) It can also be a representative alphabet.

Similarly, the alphabet selected by the subsequent control may be the alphabet of each unit according to the frequency of use. For example, 100 units of the alphabet is much the most frequent use, it to represent the alphabet, and then the surface is one unit of the alphabet in many frequently used, to enter a combination of the 2 ^nd control (i.e. in this case one unit control), and the representative alphabetic The 10 unit alphabet can be entered by combining the 3 ^rd control (that is, the 10 unit control) and the representative alphabet.

In the previous application, it is possible to input subsequent alphabets through the control processing method in the entire display pad. Likewise, it is possible to input consonants by the subsequent control processing method and the vowels by subscript control method in the keypad of the previous application. Do. In the 3 * 4 keypad, if the vowel subscript control button is set to the [0] button, it is possible to distribute the control button for consonant input to the [*] button and the [#] button.

2.4.1 Separation of Sound Control and Sound Control

In the example of the prior application, as shown in Fig. 4-1, the sound control is assigned to the [*] button and placed at the position of the reference grid, and the sound control is placed on the grid close to the reference grid. It is possible to select the two sound control. However, when the extended vowels (two vowels) are input, there is a natural time delay between the vowels and the vowels. Thus, even if the extended vowels are not input through the control processing method, virtually no ambiguity exists. Therefore, in this case, as shown in the Japanese example, the horn control can be additionally assigned to the [#] button and placed at the position of the reference grid so that the horn control can be selected at the other of the [#] button. See Figure 4-2. In this case, when inputting control, ㅋ = {beep} + a = [*] + a, ㄲ = {beep} + a = [#] + a.

2.4.2 Control of the Basic Bar

In addition, in the applicant's application (10-2000-0025183), the method of using consonant and vowel pairs, "Like the Japanese case, set the subsequent control button to [#] and pre-enter (or post-input). You can also enter the default vowel by typing in the number buttons. " This means that the basic vowel control can be entered without any ambiguity by inputting the basic vowel through the control processing method as shown in Fig. 4-3. As pointed out in the previous application, the basic vowels displayed on the keypad can be input by the control process as in the case of Japanese (the input by the control process of the subsequent alphabet on the entire display pad).

In this case, it is less convenient to input than repeatedly selecting the default button 2, but the ambiguity can be completely eliminated. Since the basic vowel is frequently used, the "basic vowel control" for the basic vowel input should be selected by one control button. 4-3 is a diagram showing the addition of "basic collection control" for controlling the basic collection in the drawing presented in the earlier application. The Basic Bar Control is selected to Control Button 1 and the Extended Bar Control to Control Button 2 is selected. Applying the post-control input in the example of FIG. 4-3, ㅏ = [3] + [#], ㅐ = [3] + [#] + [#], ㅓ = [4] + [#], ㅔ = It becomes [4] + [#] + [#]. The same applies to the rest of the vowels and the extended vowels, and can be applied to the pseudo-extended vowels as ㅗ = [1] + [#] and ㅚ = [1] + [#] + [#].

Since the relationship between the representative consonants and the basic vowels is insufficient, the basic vowels can be displayed on the keypad, and the basic vowels can be regarded as input by the non-hidden control processing method.

2.4.3 Sharing Sound Control and Expansion Bar Controls

As in the Thai example of the earlier application, one follow-on control button can be shared for the follow-up consonant or follow-up vowel. For example, placing the Sound Control and Expansion Controls on the same grid of the same control buttons. As described in the earlier application, if the control button for the subsequent consonant processing and the control button for the subsequent vowel processing are separated, the pre-input or post-input of each control can be applied differently.

2.4.4 Program Implementation

4-4 are merely examples of flowcharts for implementation and more efficient programming is possible. For example, if the consonant portion of the support in Figure 4-4, by checking whether the consonant that can achieve the double bearing, by checking earlier, a slightly more efficient implementation is possible.

The Korean example presented in the earlier application can be applied to other languages that have similar characteristics (a structure in which consonants and vowels alternate). In the case of other languages, the characteristics of the appearance of other languages should be reflected.

In the Korean example, the first three strokes (inputs 1, 2, 3) from "word start" can always be determined by the consonants and vowels of the first syllable (letter). Of course, this does not apply to the first syllable consisting of "parent + child" in Hindi. Next, input 4 may be the final syllable of the first syllable or the first syllable of the second syllable. According to the flow chart presented in the previous application, all efficient detailed procedures could not be indicated due to the size of the ground, but if input 4 is the same as the previous input (input 3), input 4, 5 cannot form a double vowel. Can be confirmed in advance. Because inputs 2 and 3 are confirmed as vowels, if inputs 4 and 5 form a double vowel, they must not be the same vowel. If input 4 is not the same as the previous input, proceed to the next procedure by comparing with the next input (input 5) as shown in the flowchart.

If input 5 is the same as the previous input, check if double vowels can be achieved as shown in the flowchart and proceed to the next procedure. The following is the process when a double vowel is not achieved. If input 5 is not the same as the previous input, input 4 can be confirmed as the back of the first syllable (letter), and input 5 may be the double foot of the first syllable (letter) or the first consonant of the second syllable (letter). In this step, it is possible to check whether the inputs 4 and 5 can form a double support, and if the double support cannot be achieved, the input 5 can be pre-determined as the first syllable of the second syllable (letter). In the case of Korean, not all 14 combinations (14 * 14 = 196) are available, but only 11 of ㄶ, ㅄ, ㄺ, ㄻ, ㅀ, ㄵ, ㄼ, ㄳ, ㄾ, ㄿ, and ㄽ are possible. Because. One syllable (letter) is confirmed, and input 5 is input 1, and it is processed again from the beginning. If input 5 is the same as input 4 and a double vowel cannot be made with inputs 2 and 3, input 4 may be determined as the final syllable of the first syllable (letter) and input 5 may be the first consonant of the second syllable (letter). Although not shown in the flow chart as a page constraint relationship, it is a matter of course that can be considered in programming the invention of the prior application.

When double vowels can be achieved, the flow can proceed as shown in the flowchart. In all other cases where ambiguity occurs, as shown in the input examples and flowcharts of the prior application, the word (or syllable) in which the ambiguity occurs, ends with a backing (jong) and the other If it ends without (for example, "갉 <<>>") accepts the next input ("input x" for convenience) and checks whether it is "word ending". This can be confirmed by the finality (ie "high + input x" in the example).

2.4.5 Combination of Basic Consonants

All Korean keypads mentioned in the applicant's application can be treated as a combination of basic consonants, but the consonants will be described with reference to FIG. 4-1 for convenience.

In addition, the case of allowing the input of a hard sound (double consonant) in a combination of two flat sounds may proceed similarly to the case where the input 4 and the input 5 are not the same. However, if this is allowed, the convenience of input increases, but if the first syllable ends with a vowel and the first syllable of the second syllable is hard, ambiguity may occur, such as "Otdugi <=> Ottogi". "" Is not displayed in the finality or in the JPO editor. Also, even if the first syllable ends with a bearing, even if the second syllable is the initial syllable and the first syllable's second syllable's initial syllable is the same (for example, Ottogi), the first syllable's vowel The first consonant of the second syllable (the c + c in the example) may be recognized as a vowel and may be a double vowel (in this example, "ㅗ + ㄷ" "=" ㅗ + [3] + [3] "). Only if you can. Therefore, due to the characteristics of the invention of the prior application, it is not possible to utilize the characteristic that the ambiguity is removed when inputting the sound by controlling the sound, so that more ambiguity may occur than when inputting the sound by controlling the sound.

In the case of " Ottogi &quot;, it can be avoided by the user through time delay or division input (enter means for determining syllables such as right arrow). The same is true of "Ottogi <=> Waddoogi". In the latter case, however, there are eight cases of double vowels in Korean (two combinations except three basic vowels): ㅔ, ㅢ, ㅘ, ㅚ, ㅝ, ㅟ, ㅖ, ㅒ. Ending with ㅣ, ㅏ, or ㅓ. Therefore, if you group three consonants, 자, 음, and 중 of five consonants, ㄹ, ㅁ, ㅇ, ㅎ and 경, ㅏ, ㅓ without pairs, and place them in pairs, "Ottogi <<> Wadugi" In the case of the rhyme, two basic consonants can not be "wadugi" even when the input can always be correctly recognized as "ottugi".

In this case, it is possible to recognize it as "rooting" without changing the existing algorithm only by the above grouping (since the existing algorithm checks whether a double vowel can be achieved). This has the property that if the first syllable (letter) has a backing and the next syllable (letter) starts with a rhythm, it cannot be recognized as a vowel even if the same button is typed consecutively to enter the rhythm.

However, some minor modifications are required to the flow chart of the first application for the case where the rhyme becomes the first syllable at the beginning of the word (input 1, 2, and the input 3, 4 are confirmed as vowels). It is easy for a person skilled in the art to understand the company. In this case (Input 1, 2 at the beginning of a word, Input 3, 4 are vowels, ie "child + parent"). There may be ambiguity with, 3 being a vowel, and input 4 being final (i.e., "child + parent + child"), as in the flow of the earlier application, which receives the next input ("input x" for convenience), Overcomes ambiguity in some cases by checking that the final consonant and double end of the + mo + child "can be formed and the end of the word, so that the double end cannot be achieved and the input x at the end of the word is treated as the end of the word" mo + mo ". You can do it. Similarly, if the double support can be achieved, it can be processed with the same concept by receiving the next input and checking whether the word ends.

In this way, by treating the sound as a combination of two flat sounds, even when ambiguity occurs, it can be seen as a ambiguity generated by applying the repeated selection method, and through the "index" provided to overcome the ambiguity described below. You can overcome it.

After all, by applying the iterative selection method, there is some ambiguity anyway. By treating hard (double consonants) as a combination of two basic consonants, it is possible to increase the convenience of input and improve the simplicity of input method even if there is a slight increase in ambiguity. Will be.

Words can be distinguished by any means capable of distinguishing between words, such as spaces, mode switching, movement buttons, confirmation, and input termination.

2.5 Hindi

In the Applicant's application, Hindi consonants are grouped into nine groups and assigned to the [1]-[9] buttons, so that the vowels assigned to the [0] button are selected with the [0] button 1, for concurrency. You can group them into groups of two and always choose one consonant and ten vowels. The vowel __ (ri), which is not placed on the keypad and is not frequently used, can be handled by the control method. In grouping consonants into 10 groups, a grouping method is possible considering the similarity of pronunciation as suggested in the earlier application. An example of grouping into 10 groups is as follows.

And the first collection of Hindi (a) is said to be omitted between consonants and consonants. That is, consonants come out in succession. In this case, it is very easy to make the consonants + consonants + consonants + __ (a) + consonants. Of course, it is also possible to input "consonant + consonant" directly, but in this case, the same representative consonants are selected in succession, which increases the possibility that two consonants can be recognized as one vowel. Therefore, both can be allowed (automatically omit the collection __ (a) or the user may omit it).

2.6 Myanmar

There are 33 consonants in Myanmar: The following is an example of grouping this into 9 groups as in the example of Hindi. Grouping into 10 groups can be done by similar tricks.

3. Minimizing ambiguity through mathematical model in the method of using pairs of primitives

In languages where consonants and vowels repeatedly appear, such as Korean, Hindi, and Myanmar, 10 basic consonants and 10 main vowels are placed in pairs on the numeric buttons on the keypad, and the repeated selection method is applied to reduce the ambiguity. It has been shown that the alphabet placed in can be entered efficiently.

In the case of Korean, it is suggested that the rhyme, the vowel, and the extended vowel can be input by controlling the combination of the control and the basic vowel. In the case of Hindi et al., It is suggested that the remaining consonants attached to the representative consonants can be input by subsequent control processing. Here, we present a method to minimize ambiguity in the invention of the earlier application.

When multiple letters are assigned to one button on the keypad and the repetitive selection method is applied, there is an ambiguity as described in the previous application due to the inherent property of the repetitive selection method. For example, if you continuously input ABs arranged on the same button, if you enter [2] + [2] + [2], you do not know whether it is AB or BA.

For convenience, in the case of Korean, for example, most syllables are "consonant + vowel (abbreviated as" ja + vo ")" or "consonant + vowel + consonant (abbreviated as" ja + vo + ja ")". It consists of forms. The same is true for languages such as Hindi and Myanmar. In Korean, however, one syllable has one character (floating letter).

The most common form of ambiguity is when the first syllable consists of "child + mother" and the second syllable consists of "child + mother + child", the "parent + child" of the second syllable is placed on the same button. In other words, the first consonant of the second syllable (the first consonant) is recognized as the last consonant (the final consonant) of the first syllable, and the "parent + child" of the second syllable is recognized as "child + mo". Finally, to minimize this ambiguity, we can see that "parent + child" that is frequently combined in syllables of "child + child + child" should not be placed on the same button as much as possible. In other words, a vowel (neutral) to consonant (single) with a high frequency of vowels (sons + mothers + rulers) in the corpus should not be placed on the same button. In Korean, the same ambiguity may occur when the first syllable consists of "ja + mo + mo" or the second syllable consists of "ja + mo + ja + ja", but this is not the case. That is, in the case of Korean, it is precisely that the hat transition when the second syllable consists of "ja + ma + ja + ja" should be considered together with the frequency of the hat transition, but not many cases.

In the opposite case, when the first syllable consists of "child + mother + child" and the second syllable consists of "child + mother", the first syllable "child + mother" is placed on the same button. The syllable is recognized as "child + mother" and the "child + mother" of the second syllable is recognized as "child + mother" and combined with the consonant of the previous syllable as "child + mother + child". To minimize this ambiguity, you should ensure that "child + parent" that is frequently combined in syllables consisting of "child + parent" is not placed on the same button as much as possible. In the case of Korean, the first syllable is composed of "ja + mo + ja + ja", but not many cases.

In addition to the above cases, other cases of ambiguity have been presented in the previous application, but there are not many cases, so only the two cases are considered to suggest a method of minimizing ambiguity. This applies equally to languages in which consonants and vowels appear sequentially, such as Hindi and Myanmar, as well as Korean, and is more easily applicable to the rest of the languages where the repetition rules of consonants and vowels are simpler than Korean.

Referring back to Fig. 4-1, the flowchart for identifying the alphabet when the basic consonants and the basic vowels arranged on the keypad are selected by the repetitive selection method in Korean is presented. same. The case where ambiguity arises in FIG. 4-4 is also shown.

Hereinafter, for convenience, it will be described in detail through an example of Korean.

In Korean, about 50% of the syllables consist of "ja + mo" (more precisely 54.011%) and about 50% of the syllables consist of "ja + mo + ja". Thus, the frequency of transition from consonant to vowel (abbreviated as "consonant" or "self-combination") of "syllable + mother" and the vowel to consonant (syllable + mother) The frequency of "cap rotation" or "cap coupling" may be considered equal. If the syllable consisting of "ja + mo" is about 70% of the total, and the syllable consisting of "ja + mo + ja" is about 30% of the total, put 30% of the consonant frequency (consonant and The ambiguity caused by the vowel being assigned to the same button is assumed to be 30% with the first syllable ending with "child + mother + child"), with a 70% emphasis on the number of mother-to-child transitions. Ambiguity due to consonants being assigned to the same button should be considered) (assuming 70% of the preceding syllables end with "+ mo").

The frequency of maternal metastasis investigated in the literature is as follows. The number of possible transitions in Korean is 567, 27 for vowels (neutral) and 27 for consonants (jong). Of these, 270 are actually transmitted. The top 12 are 51% of the total and the top 48 are 90% of the total. This large difference in transition frequency (combination frequency) means that ambiguity can be greatly reduced through optimized grouping (consonant + vowel). In the present invention, in the transition between the vowel and the consonant, it is not necessary to consider all the cases because only the transition of the vowel and the consonant displayed on the keypad is considered. The combination of vowels, rhymes, and vowels can easily be seen because the “control” presented in the earlier application eliminates ambiguity.

There are 100 cases of hat transitions to be considered for minimizing ambiguity in the present invention, since 10 basic consonants may be combined with respect to 10 basic vowels displayed on the keypad.

In the literature, the incidences of hair transfer were as follows. The following is only the frequency of syllables consisting of "child + mother" only. The case of "child + mother + child" is considered in the parental transition frequency and need not be considered here, which is one of the important factors in the present invention. The number of gamma transitions is also the following 100 cases because 10 basic vowels can be combined for 10 basic consonants displayed on the keypad.

Since the frequency of the mother and child transition is not a relative ratio but an absolute frequency, the two can be combined to form a table representing the combined frequency of consonants and vowels. The following table shows the sum of the frequency of mother and mother metastasis. More precisely, as explained earlier, the syllable composed of "ja + mo" in Korean is about 54% of the total, so the syllable composed of "ja + mo + ja" is 54% of the frequency of the mother's transition. It is about 46%, so 46% should be weighted for the frequency of Zamo transition. However, in the table below, since syllables consisting of "ja + mo" or "ja + mo + ja" in Korean account for about half each, there will be no big difference. Considered.

In general, the problem of minimizing ambiguity when applying the repeated selection method through the keypad is called NP-hard problem. However, the problem of minimizing the ambiguity that occurs when applying the (standard / simple) repetitive selection method of consonants 1 and vowels 2 on a keypad arranged in pairs of consonants and vowels presented in the earlier application is a typical linear programming problem. This can also be said to be a great advantage of the applicant's invention. In the end, the above table is a "table frequency table (integrated frequency table)" of the optimization problem to be mathematically modeled in the present invention.

In the invention of the earlier application, grouping of alphabets to be assigned to each button is called "grouping", assigning grouped alphabets to each button is called "assignment", and placing "assigned alphabets" on each grid of buttons "To do this, pairing the Jamo to minimize ambiguity is called a" grouping problem ".

With the subscript in each row as i, the subscript in each column as j, and the number of consonants and vowels assigned to each, i.e. 10 as n, the objective and constraints are:

Where each variable and coefficient

= 0: when the i th vowel and the j th consonant are not grouped

1: When the i th vowel and the j th consonant are grouped

= the combined frequency when the i th vowel and the j th consonant appear in succession

If we solve for the objective in the above equation, we get

Similarly, constraints can be solved. Since the mathematical model of the problem has been established and the coefficients (transition frequency or coupling frequency) have been established, solving the above problems can be easily solved using a commercial linear programming (LP) package. The result of solving the above problem is as follows. However, this is the result of solving the above integrated frequency table divided by 1/50, which is used as a constraint of the program used by the applicant.

However, even if the grouping to minimize ambiguity, the grouping is not the best. This is because the positional identification of the alphabet on the keypad is also an important consideration.

Solving the problem to minimize the frequency of transitions (or combinations), we can find pairs of consonants and vowels to minimize ambiguity. On the contrary, if the above problem is solved in order to maximize the transition frequency, ambiguity occurs a lot, but the same button is pressed more frequently when entering alphabets, thereby increasing the convenience of input. However, there is a disadvantage that the user must know and cope with the case of ambiguity.

Maximizing the transition frequency (combination frequency) allows you to arrange vowels in pairs, enter consonant 1 tarot, vowel 1 taro, and enter a confirm button in syllables (letters in Korean), or to confirm a syllable by selecting the confirm control. In this case, it can be said to be very efficient. In this case, when entering consonants and vowels that are not displayed on the keypad, all subsequent consonants and vowels can be entered without ambiguity by assigning subsequent controls to buttons that do not have a fixed control and allowing subsequent controls to be selected according to the number of iterations of the control button. It is possible to do However, there is a disadvantage in that the user is forced to discomfort to press the confirmation button in syllable units. As stated in the previous application, this subsequent control button can apply one subsequent control button to both the subsequent consonants and the subsequent vowels if the same input or post input is applied to the consonants and vowels. This is the same even if the confirmation button of the syllable unit is not input.

Maximizing the transition frequency (combination frequency) is to solve the problem by using "Max Z = ..." to solve the problem as a minimization problem by adding the minus sign ("-") to the coefficient (frequency) Solve as a minimization problem by using the number minus each coefficient as the coefficient. It is also easy to unpack using a commercial LP package.

Although the combination frequency of consonants and vowels is not considered in all cases where ambiguity occurs, we point out the most cases of ambiguity (maternal transition, Jamo transition) and suggest a method that can be optimized based on the frequency of those cases. Is the "core" here.

In the end, the mathematical core re-arranges the "core" of how to minimize ambiguity, grouping 10 consonants and 10 vowels in pairs, placing them on each button, selecting each consonant placed on the keypad with each button 1 In the method of selecting vowels placed on the tarot keypad, the most common ambiguity occurs when the mother transition (combination of vowels and consonants in syllables consisting of "child + mother + child") and consonant ("child + mother") In the syllable consisting of consonants and vowels), the consonants and vowels combined at the same time are assigned to the same button, and based on this, the emphasis is placed on the frequency according to each transition type and modeled as the assignment problem of linear programming. The "integrated frequency table" to be used as a coefficient is obtained. It is very easy to use commercial programs to find groups of consonants and vowels that can be solved and optimized to solve these mathematically modeled problems.

The same can be applied to languages such as Hindi and Myanmar, in which a syllable is mainly composed of "ja + mo" or "ja + mo + ja". In languages other than Korean, data on the transition frequency of consonants and vowels can be made using existing data. If there is no existing data, the corpus is appropriately constructed and the frequency of embryo transfer and hat transition. This is done by applying the method applied in the Korean example. In other words, as already explained, if 70% of syllables consist of "ja + mo" and 30% of syllables consist of "ja + mo + ja" in the Hindi, give 70% to the frequency of maternal metastasis. It can be 30%. Also, in Hindi, there are syllables consisting only of "mo + ja", which can always be perceived as "ja + mo" (regardless of the form of the preceding syllables), so this type of hat transition (simply "0") The frequency of the "mother transition" or "zero-mapped" is 100%, which allows the grouping of consonants and vowels to be grouped so that the integrated frequency table of three cases can be obtained and minimized.

In Hindi, the grouping of 10 basic vowels and 9 representative consonants in pairs is solved by the problem of grouping 10 consonants and 10 vowels by adding fake (pseudo) consonants. The transition frequency of the fake consonant and the 10 basic vowels can be set to "0".

4. How to use vowel elements in Korean

4.1.1 How to Control the Sounds and beeps

Korean vowel elements (ㅡ, ㅣ,.) Can be used. See Figure 4-5. In the present invention, nine basic consonants of the ten basic consonants are assigned to each of the [1] to [9] number buttons, and the Korean vowel elements "ㅡ" and " Assigns "" to "0" and assigns the vowel element "." To the [0] button. Various methods of assignment are possible, but for convenience the present invention illustrates the assignment and arrangement of FIGS. 4-5. The arranged basic consonants and the vowel elements can be arranged at the position of the reference grid naturally, and it is not necessary to apply the partial partial selection method to the selection of the arranged basic consonants and the vowel elements.

In the process of controlling the sound of the sound and the sound, "sound sound control" and "sound sound control" are arbitrarily assigned to the buttons arranged with "-" or "ㅣ", respectively, and are arranged in the grid closest to the reference grid among the remaining grids. That is, the beep control and the horn control are selected at the button 2 to which the control is assigned. The sound control (or sound control) may be additionally arranged on the button to which the sound control (or sound control) is assigned, so that the selected button 3 may be selected. As mentioned in the earlier application, "ㅅ" can be regarded as "light" and "beep" because there is no sound. In addition, the sound control or warning control does not need to be displayed on the half-touch button, and the user needs to be aware of the input rules.

When the sound control is selected as "{beep}" for convenience and control input is applied in the example of FIG. 4-5, ㅋ = {beep} + ㄱ = [*] + [*] + [1] do. Similarly ㄲ = {honor} + a = [*] + [*] + [1]. If you allow the horn control to select the button 3 assigned to the horn control, then ㄲ = {beep} + a = [*] + [*] + [*] + [1].

In the present invention, the rhythm control and the rhythm control are assigned to the same button with ㅡ, ㅣ of the vowel alphabet elements, and the reason why there is no ambiguity even if the repetitive selection method is applied is because of the characteristics of Korean, the vowel “ㅡ” is repeated twice in the word. This is because, in the example, typing two [*] buttons to select the sound control is not recognized as selecting two vowels “ㅡ” + “ㅡ”. The same is true of the vowel "|". In the word "courtesy" (in the example [8] + [0] + [0] + [#] + [#] + [0] + [*] + [#]), the vowel "|" appears twice. In this case, the vowel alphabet element "." Following it, you can see that "[#] + [#]" here is a vowel, not a horn control. Because in the example, the vowel alphabet element "." This is because the word cannot be terminated, so the next input [#] is a vowel. Since the vowel "-" never appears in succession, there is no ambiguity even if you assign a sound control and a sound control to the button to which the vowel "-" is assigned.

Since nine consonants of the ten basic consonants were assigned and arranged to nine buttons ([1] to [9] buttons), the other basic consonants were not assigned to the buttons. This is called "9 button dropping consonants" for convenience. The 9-button drop-out consonants can be omitted from the control process by considering one of the 10 basic consonants as a modified alphabet or a subsequent alphabet in consideration of pronunciation or shape similarity. For example, instead of placing "ㄹ" on the button, consider "ㄹ" as a variant alphabet ("beep" or "beep") of "b", so that when you enter the control ㄹ = [*] + [*] + ㄴ or ㄹ = [*] + [*] + [*] + B or d = [#] + [#] + b. In the example of Figs. 4-5, in consideration of the similarity between pronunciation and shape, "ㅎ" is regarded as a modified alphabet (diaphragm or rhythm) of "ㅇ" ㅎ = [*] + [*] + ㅇ or ㅎ = [* ] + [*] + [*] + ㅇ or ㅎ = [#] + [#] + ㅇ.

In this case, the controlled alphabet ("ㅎ" in the example of FIG. 4-5) may be one of the alphabets (b, ㅁ, ㄹ, ㅎ, ㅇ) without the presence of a hard sound or a rhythm for the convenience of alphabet input. . Of course, the basic alphabet of the alphabet to be controlled ("o" in the example of Figures 4-5) should also be one of the alphabets without the presence of a beep or beep can be added to the convenience of the alphabet input. The reason why the control process of "ㅎ" is given is because there is no hard and hard sound, and the frequency of use of the hard and hard sound is also the lowest alphabet. This is because there is a similarity in pronunciation, and similarity in shape as in the relationship between other flat and rhythmic sounds.

Here, in order for Korean to be used for memorizing phone numbers and various codes, it is preferable that 10 basic consonants (flat sound) are arranged on 10 number buttons. Therefore, "ㅎ" can be additionally assigned to the button ("0" in the example of FIG. 4-5) to which "." Is assigned and placed in a grid in which "ㅎ" can be selected for the corresponding button 3. Because "." Appears twice in a row, it is necessary to select three hits if there is no ambiguity by applying the repeated selection method. Even in this case, the user only needs to be aware that the button 3 tarot "ㅎ" can be selected even if he does not place "ㅎ" in the third grid closest to the reference grid. This means that "ㅎ" can be input to the [0] button 3 stroke, but it can be usefully used for various memorization by placing all the basic consonants on each number button.

In FIG. 4-5, consonants are marked in blue, vowels or vowel elements are marked in red, and numbers are marked in black in order to increase the identification of the alphabet. The blue "-" on the [0] button means that ". + ㅡ + 0 (zero)" is "h" overall, so that the "0" is implicitly assigned to the [0] button. Indicates.

That is, the 9-button drop consonant may be inputted as a control alphabet, which is regarded as a modified alphabet of a specific basic consonant, and at the same time, it may be inputted as a button 3 type assigned with the vowel element ".".

4.1.2 Basic consonant combination of the sound and hidden / non-hidden repetitive selection process

In the method using the vowel element of Korean, it can be treated as a combination of basic consonants. Moreover, in the method using the vowel element, the basic consonants are assigned to the number buttons one by one. Ambiguity (primary ambiguity due to ambiguity between full codes) occurs. ("O" to "c" is a finality)

However, it can also be solved by having an "index" to avoid this when ambiguity occurs. As a result, when inputting the rhythm as a combination of basic consonants, the input rule can be further simplified since only the vowel is to be input by the control processing method. The sound control can be placed on the appropriate grid as described in the earlier application. For example, the sound control is removed in FIGS. 4-1 or 4-2.

Also, the basic consonant, the vowel, and the horn (for example, a, ㅋ, ㄲ) are entered according to the number of presses of the button (for example, a = [1], ㅋ = [1] + [1], ㄲ = [1] + [1] + [1]). In this case too, primary ambiguity may occur, as indicated in the earlier application. The specific case where ambiguity occurs is not introduced here. In this case, all of the basic consonants, vowels, and warnings can be displayed on the button, or only the basic consonants can be displayed. This is to select a subsequent alphabet (eg, ㄲ, ㄲ) by the iterative selection method.

Here, the method of displaying only the representative alphabet and selecting the remaining subsequent alphabets by the repeated selection method will be referred to as "hidden repeat selection processing method" for convenience. Again, the suborders of the horn and the vowel may be in the order of the basic consonant, the horn and the vowel. For example, ((1st: reference grid position), ㄲ (2nd), ㅋ (3rd), and so on. That is, a = [1], ㄲ = [1] + [1], ㅋ = [1] + [1] + [1]. It can be seen that the consonant is processed by a combination of basic consonants (or concealed repetitive selection processing), and even the tonal sound is selected by the concealed repetitive selection processing method.

In this case, only the hidden repetition selection processing method presented by the previous application and the sub alphabets of subsequent alphabets are different, but the naturalness from the user's point of view can be doubled by allowing the user to input 2 numbers (combination of basic consonants) during the hard input. have.

Also, when "ㅎ" was input, the [0] button 3 was entered. The relationship between "ㅇ" and "ㅎ" is similar to the relation between the flat sound (basic consonant) and the diaphragm in shape and pronunciation. As a result, the overall method of use can be improved.

In this case, it is possible to input 3 by using [0] button 3 assigned with "ㅎ" while inputting "ㅎ" as a modified alphabet of "ㅇ" by inputting the control method. Of course, it is possible to input the sound by 3 keys (or 2 hits) to which the corresponding basic consonant belongs, and at the same time, it can be allowed to input by the control method. If the user inputs the sound by the control method, the system can identify the sound without any ambiguity (ie, primary ambiguity) between the full codes when the sound is input, and when the user inputs the button 3 with the corresponding basic consonant, Ambiguity may also occur. The same is true for the horn.

That is, in the same keypad, the user may input by the control processing method or input by the hidden repetition selection method at the same time, and the same applies to the horn. For example, select the [2] and [2] buttons for the sound control, and at the same time select the 2 sound and the 3 sound for the sound and the sound of the basic consonant. When you input “khaki”, “khaki = [1] + [ *] + [*] + [#] + [0] + [1] + [1] + [1] + [#] ". That is, the first "ㅋ" can be entered as a control processing method and the second "ㅋ" can be entered as a repetition selection method. Similarly, "scat" can be set to "scat = [1] + [#] + [#] + [#] + [0] + [1] + [1] + [#]".

The order of selection of the horn and the horn may also be set at the user's convenience by inputting the horn and the horn by a non-hidden repetition selection process or by a hidden repetition selection process.

4.1.3 Hybrid application of methods using pairs of primitives and methods using vowel elements

The method of utilizing the vowel element can be seen as a simplified version of the keypad of Figs. 4-1, 4-2, and 4-3, and can be compatible with the alphabet input methods in the earlier application. That is, the alphabet input method of the present application can be applied to the keypad displayed on each button in addition to the 10 basic vowels. The input method of the application can be applied.

In the example of FIG. 4-2, the horn control and the horn control are assigned to the [*] button or the [#] button. However, even if it is not displayed, the user needs to be aware of each other. By noting "ㅣ" etc., the method using the vowel element and the method using the pair of the basic letter can be used selectively. For example, in FIG. 4-5, eight basic vowels except for the vowels “ㅡ” and “ㅣ” that exist as vowel elements are assigned to eight buttons among nine buttons of [1] to [9], and the assigned eight It is possible to select two basic vowels in the button 2 stroke to which the basic vowel is assigned. Similarly, a control processing method or a repetitive selection processing method may be applied to the input of the beep and the horn. For example, suppose that eight vowels excluding “ㅡ” and “ㅣ” are additionally arranged in FIG. 4-5 as shown in FIG. 4-2. When the word “trail” is entered, “trail” = [1] + [3] + [3] + [7] + [#] + [2]. According to the user's convenience, the "A" vowel "ㅏ" applies a repetitive selection method, and the "Shin" vowel "ㅣ" can be input using a button in which the vowel elements are arranged. In vowel input, different methods are applied within the same word, but do not require an input mode switch.

In addition, eight additional vowels are assigned to the [1]-[9] buttons, and two basic consonants with similar shapes and pronunciations (e.g. ㄹ or ㅇ / ㅎ etc.) can be arranged together and the repeated selection method can be applied. The ambiguities that can arise in this case can also be overcome by the following "index".

5. How to overcome ambiguity through indexes

When applying the iterative selection method, ambiguity may occur because several words are represented by one code. In the input example of FIG. 4-1, it is pointed out that there is an ambiguity in which "Goi" can be recognized as "Goi" and "Goi". In general, however, words are entered in word units. For example, the word "very" exists, but the word "meyer" does not exist. In FIG. 4-1, both have the same code value. Therefore, the terminal prepares and registers an index for words that may cause ambiguity for a specific keypad and a specific alphabet input method on the terminal (client) or server side. When “very” or “heavy” is input, when both are not distinguished by time delay, etc., if the word “very” is registered as the correct word in the index, the word that the user wants to input (hereinafter for convenience) "Target word") can be seen that "very". This applies only when ambiguities are indistinguishable from the system, and it is natural to distinguish them by the time delay value defined by the system (terminal or server side system) or by the user-defined time delay value. . In other words, if the user intentionally breaks (using a time delay or a space or the right button or other specific button) and enters "the old man", even though the word is semantically wrong, the word is the target word. Should be printed.

The method of preparing the index may register only the correct word ("very bad" in the example) for the word when ambiguity may occur, or register only the wrong word ("heaver" in the example). You can also register both the correct word and the wrong word, and the system only needs to know which word in the index is the correct word or the wrong word.

This can be applied to all cases of applying the repetition selection method on the keypad. For example, an ambiguity such as "country <=> Kuka" occurs in the input method of Samsung Electronics in Korea, and the same can be applied here. In addition, similar to FIG. 4-1, when a pair of consonants is placed on each button and the syllable completion button is pressed in units of syllables while allowing selection of one consonant, two consonants, three hard vowels, and one vowel, Applicable to When the user inputs "very", even if "troublesome" is output temporarily, it can be corrected to "very" by referring to the index at the end of the word (for example, entering a blank).

At this time, if the word index exists on both the client side and the server side, the client side index is searched first to try to identify the correct word, and when the identification fails, the server side index is searched secondly and finally the correct word is finally found. Can be identified.

To distinguish between units of words, as anyone can think of, can be identified by the elements that separate them. For example, you can think of spaces between spaces, between the beginning and the end of words, between the spaces and the end of inputs, between spaces and mode switching, and so on. Determining the correct word by referring to the index is performed on a word-by-word basis, so that an index reference can be made and the correct word can be determined when inputting an element that distinguishes words.

This can be applied to any case where ambiguity occurs by applying the iterative selection method. For example, ambiguity may occur if the consonants belong to the same button as the final and the first consonants in Samsung Electronics' method currently used in Korea. For example, "Country" <=> "Kuka". When entering codes by alphabet, the syllable (letter) units are entered without recognition, so in many cases, unconsciously entering "country" results in "guka". In this case, if it is not possible to know which of the two words is the target word even by the time delay or the like, the system (terminal or server) can find the target word by referring to the index. In this case, even though the finality "a" of "country" and the first "a" of "ga" are pressed in succession, in most cases the target word is "country", so the index is irrespective of time delay. A method of identifying a target word by referring to it may also be efficient.

In addition, it is obvious that this is applicable to all languages in which the repeated selection method is not limited to Korean. For example, in the English input or in the English mode of a different language keypad, the input of [2]-[2]-[2] is "AB" or "BA". If is registered in the index with the correct word, it can be recognized and provided to the target word to the user. If plural words having ambiguity are registered in the index as correct words, words with high frequency of use can be primarily provided to the user and the user can finally determine the target word.

If there is an ambiguity about the input of a word, if all the words corresponding to the input are recognized as correct words even when referring to the index, the user may be given feedback by appropriate means (visual and audio). .

The method of allowing the user to confirm the target word is to list a plurality of words that are recognized as correct words in the display window in order of frequency (or priority) and use the up / down scroll or the numeric buttons corresponding to the displayed order. To allow the user to determine the target word. Alternatively, select the control that displays only the most frequently used words and the next word if it is not the target word (called "next word control" for convenience) to display the next most frequently used words. If the target is not the target word, the user can continue to search for the target word by selecting the next word control again. In this case, the target word may be determined by inputting any other button (for example, inputting any button other than selection of the next word control such as selecting a different alphabet or space or mode switching) after searching for the target word. .

The choice of the next word control can be applied to either the "partial full selection method" or the "repetitive selection method (standard / simple)" described in the earlier application. If the next word control is arranged at the position of the reference grid of a particular button, the next word control will be selected with that particular button 1 tarot.

6. How to use simple code and short input method / parallel input method

6.1 Alphabet Code

When accessing an information system using an information communication terminal, input of an alphabet is essential. Alternatively, the alphabet to be input can be entered by number coding. Miniaturized information communication terminals often adopt a keypad type interface. Here, the code refers to all kinds of codes, for example, telephone numbers, securities (listed company) codes, city codes, department codes, subway station codes, bank codes, etc., are innumerable. It is possible to simplify the input of the advantage of inputting by encoding various names.

The information communication terminal includes all types of information communication terminals, such as a PC, a mobile communication device, a smart phone, a PDA, a two-way text communication device, and an ATM (automatic teller machine). It also covers terminals without communication functions, such as electronic organizers. Information systems include all types of systems, including systems that can be accessed visually through a GUI, as well as systems that can only be accessed by sound, such as ARS. In addition, the system is narrowly referred to as a server-side system, and broadly includes client software of a terminal compatible with the server system.

By using the alphabet placed on the keypad can be useful for memorizing various codes. In the memorization of the code, there may be a method by simple naming, initial naming, or full naming. The summary is as follows.

In simple naming, a code is used to specify a number associated with a word or phrase to be coded (collectively referred to as a word or phrase below). For example, in the case of Korean, in the case of the company name code, the code of "Gasan Electronics" is referred to as "1799" associated with a, ㅅ, ㅈ, ㅈ as a simple code based on FIG. 4-2. In this case, by highlighting a, ㅅ, ㅈ, ㅈ associated with the simple code "1799" in "Gasan Electronics", it is easier to know the simple code of a specific word. You can also extract it. In the case of simple naming, the code of a number of letters belonging to a word to be coded is defined as a code, and thus the code of "additional electron" is not necessarily "1799". For example, the simple code of "stock" can be a simple code of values associated with, ㅅ, ㅣ, ㄹ. It may be referred to as "1749" associated with a, σ, ㅓ, ㅈ, or "13294293" associated with the entire alphabet constituting the "additional electron". A simple code of a code associated with an entire alphabet constituting a phrase is referred to as " total association simple naming " for convenience, and a simple code designation associated with some alphabets of a particular phrase is referred to as " some associated simple naming " for convenience. In any case, simple naming (ie, simple code) can be thought of as specifying a code in association with an alphabet that makes up that phrase. The same can be applied to languages other than Korean. For example, in "captain", "2786" associated with the consonant "CPTN" may be a simple code, which is a partially related simple code, and for convenience, it is called "consonant related simple code" for convenience.

Not only words but phrases can also be coded by simple naming. Using the letter "syllable" that best represents the meaning of the phrase "where to go" in the previous application, "8314" mapped to o, c, a, d can be a simple code. In the case of English, a simple code of "3886" associated with d, t, t, n, which has a note value in the "date tonight" example given in the earlier filing, may be a simple code.

Initial naming is a special case of some associative simple naming. In the case of Korean, initial naming may have a method of specifying a number mapped to a consonant (first consonant) as a code based on a syllable (letter). This is referred to as "syllable based initial naming" for convenience. In the case of "added electrons", the initial code by syllable-based initial naming becomes "1799" associated with the consonant and the consonant of each syllable (letter). Syllable-based initial naming can also be applied to languages other than Korean. For example, in English, the initial code by the syllable-based initial naming of the word "entertainment" may be "3886" associated with e, t, t, and m. Syllable-based initial naming can be more useful in the case of Korean where one syllable constitutes one letter.

Similarly, initial naming is possible for a verse, where the initial code is "81" associated with the first alphabet of each word o, a in the phrase "Where to go" in the Election. In the case of English, for the phrase "dance with the wolf", the initial code for the word-based initial naming is "3979" associated with d, w, t, and w. Word-based initial naming can be useful in any language to give code to the whole phrase.

It is sometimes referred to as "simple code" (i.e., simple code in a broad sense) or "short code" for the convenience of both simple codes (all related simple codes) and initial codes (syllable initial codes, word-based initial codes). . All related simple codes, consonant related simple codes, syllable based initial codes, and word based initial codes have regularity in generating their codes, so they can be used universally, and others have created simple codes based on such rules. Even easy to use.

Full naming is the input value of a phrase to be coded by a specific character input method. Therefore, this may vary depending on the character input method applied, and it can be regarded as a code of a numerical value corresponding to a certain phrase in alphabetical units. In the case of "Seoul" as an example in the earlier application, the full code by the partial partial selection method (referred to in the earlier application) is "7745888944" based on Fig. 4-2. If the full code by the standard repetition selection method (mentioned in the earlier application) is "7448884". If the keypad is different from that of Fig. 4-2 or another alphabet input method is applied, there will be a full code value accordingly.

6.2 Simple Code Generation Method

Meanings such as Chinese require a way to reasonably match a myriad of characters with buttons on the keypad. One way is to map the English pronunciation of Chinese to the alphabet on the English keypad. In another way, we propose a method of mapping the keys on the keypad using the tonal character of the Chinese character.

Every letter in Chinese has five tones. 1 star (tone sign-), 2 star (tone sign ′), 3 star (tone sign ˇ), 4 star (tone sign,), and adolescent letters. Two buttons on each of the five tonal keypads can be mapped. In this framework, several methods of deployment are possible. For example, one tone is associated with the [1] and [2] buttons, two tones are associated with the [3] and [6] buttons, and three tones with the [4] and [7] buttons. , 4 tones can be mapped to [8] and [9] buttons, and unvoiced tones can be mapped to [5] and [0] buttons. This considers the convenience of use by arranging 1 to 4 tones on the up / down / left / right buttons on the keypad. By changing the color for each of these button pairs, you get a better visual effect. In the up, down, left and right arrangement, the button pair is [1, 2] [3, 6] [4, 7] [8, 9]. You will be shaped. Alternatively, one to five tones can be associated with two buttons in order to the ten buttons of [1] to [0], respectively.

In this case, it is problematic to determine which one of the [1] and [2] buttons corresponds to a character having one tone. There are many ways to do this. For example, there is a method of dividing by the number of strokes (that is, one of the methods of determining the complexity of a letter). If the number of strokes with one tone in the word or sentence is less than a certain number of strokes (for example, five strokes), it is judged as the letter corresponding to the [1] button (the smaller one of the [1] and [2] buttons). Otherwise, it is determined by the letter corresponding to the [2] button (the larger number of buttons [1] and [2]). Five strokes were used as the number of strokes used as the criterion, which is not the average number of strokes (commonly used). The schedule number can be set based on about half of the total.

Among the methods for judging the complexity of letters, the method by stroke number is presented. Another method is to determine the number of element letters. Element letters are letters that can be identified within a single kanji. For example, the castle consists of two element letters (土 + 成), and 禁 consists of three element letters (木 + 木 + 示). Therefore, if a certain number of element letters (for example, two) is less than two buttons corresponding to the same tones, it is judged as a letter corresponding to a smaller number of buttons, and when exceeded, a letter corresponding to a larger number of buttons is determined. You can judge.

The tones in Chinese are the same as in Fig. 5-1. The tone code is commonly used, and the tone code of FIG. 5-1 is also used in the present invention. Keypad Example in the Present Invention FIG. 5-2 shows a tonal code on a keypad button. In the example, since one tone is assigned to the [1] button and the [2] button, one tone symbol (-) is added on the first and second buttons. Smaller on the 1 button and larger on the 2 button means that the letter corresponds to the 1 button if the complexity of the letter (the number of strokes or element letters) is below a certain level (for example, 5 strokes or 2 element letters). This is to make judging intuitively and easily. Referring to FIG. 5-2, the result of encoding a plurality of words corresponding to the keypad is as follows. In the following example, the number of strokes "5 strokes" is applied to the criteria based on the complexity of the letters. The sign on the letters is the tonal code.

If different words in the system generate the same code, you can avoid duplication by appending a serial number after the word string. For example, if a character with a numeric code, such as code 7612 of 百 존재 公司, exists in the system, it is serialized with 百貨公司 1 to generate and interpret the code with 76121.

When a user inputs a character to designate a tone-based simple code, the system extracts and displays a simple code corresponding to the input character according to the tone-coded simple code generation rule defined in the system and shows it to the user. The difference between Chinese and Korean, which is the meaning of letters, is that the system does not only need mapping information of letters and numbers, but also needs to know the tones and the number of strokes (or number of elements) by referring to the dictionary.

In the present invention, a method of mapping a Chinese character to a button of a keypad based on the tonal characteristics of Chinese characters and the complexity of a character is proposed. Due to the characteristics of Chinese, five tones are assigned to two buttons, so it can be intuitively convenient to arrange the current keypad arrangement in a two-column, five-row arrangement. That is, for example, [1] and [2] buttons are arranged in one row of keypads, [3] and [4] buttons are arranged in two rows, and [5] and [6] buttons are arranged in three rows. Then, the [7] and [8] buttons are arranged in four rows, the [9] and [0] buttons are arranged in five rows, and the [*] and [#] buttons are arranged in six rows. Each of the two buttons in each row is assigned 1 to 2, 3 to 4, 4 tones, and 2 to 2 buttons in the column based on the complexity of the letter. You can decide whether to judge by the letters. The button arrangement of the 2 * 6 keypad may be the same as in FIG. 5-3. In this case, all the tones are assigned to the two buttons of each row, and depending on the complexity, it is possible to determine whether the letters correspond to the buttons of the first column or the second column.

If only one standard is used and more than one method is used, the generated code value will change as the keypad buttons assigned to the tone change. Thus, conversion between a generation code by a particular method (e.g., a code by a 3 * 4 keypad in the present invention) and a generation code by another method (e.g., a code by a 2 * 6 keypad in the present invention) This is necessary. The conversion may occur on the server side or in the terminal side client software. In any case, you can see that the conversion takes place within the entire system (server + client), and if you know which method is applied within the whole system, you can reconvert it to the code you need. For example, if the code value of 人民日報 according to method 1 is entered and the value required by the system is the code value according to method 2, the code value according to method 2 can be obtained from the system.

If you don't want to generate code with 百貨公司 and want to generate code with 百貨, you can display only 百貨 by typing 百貨 in combination with a specific function key when you enter it, and generate only "76" as code for 百貨公司. Can be. Furthermore, if you want to generate a code based on only a part of a letter (for example, a word change) (for redundancy of the code, etc.), only the letter is displayed within the letter and the code is generated based on the letter. You can. That is, in this case, the simple code of 百貨公司 (only white light) will be "7312" instead of "7612".

In the Chinese input method, as in the method of inputting a Chinese character in Korean, it is common to input an English word corresponding to a Chinese pronunciation and to input a Chinese character when the Chinese character becomes a convertible Chinese character using the "Hanja conversion key".

In Chinese, the full code can be determined based on the English pronunciation of Chinese. Furthermore, when there are a plurality of words of the same pronunciation, the English phonetic code, the Chinese character conversion key, and the ranking of the target word among the same phonetic words may be determined as a full code. In the example of the present invention, the [*] button is used in both the Chinese character conversion keys in FIGS. 5-2 and 5-3. In the present invention, the English input method is not particularly mentioned, and an existing method is used.

In the present invention, it is necessary to put a "specific function key" for simple naming in Chinese. In other words, enter the English characters, enter the Hanja conversion key to select the desired Chinese characters, and if you put on a specific function key (for simplicity called "simple code key" here) for simple naming, the character and the element letters that make up the character Are displayed in order, and you can choose to select element letters for generating simple code. In the example of the present invention, a simple code key [#] button is used.

In the example above, if you enter 심플 in 百貨公司 and then enter the simple code key, the letters 貨, ,, ,, etc. and the element letters that make up 대로 are displayed in order. If you select the second flower, only 貨 in 貨 is highlighted. Displayed and the corresponding simple code is recognized as 3 in the system. Recognition as simple code 3 for the marked 만이 by highlighting only the symbol is recognized as 3 immediately after input and stored in the system for later use or may be interpreted from a character.

In Chinese, you need to have a Chinese dictionary in the whole system (client side or server side) for naming your code. In other words, when a user inputs a naming character, the system can map the naming character to a numeric code by referring to the tonality, the number of strokes (or the number of element letters), etc. from a dictionary. The dictionary assumes that the Chinese characters can be mapped to the numbers on the keypad, and the number of strokes or element characters. The user or system administrator should be able to add words that are not registered in the dictionary and store related information necessary for mapping such as tonality. However, if you don't have Chinese dictionary in the whole system, you should be able to input mapping information such as tonality when you enter a word as a naming character, or you can enter a numeric code corresponding to the character together.

In the case of Chinese, generating a simple code based on tonality has the advantage of not simply generating a simple code based on an English pronunciation, but intuitively corresponding one numeric code for each letter. In addition, in Chinese, company names and city names are all composed of a certain number of characters. Since the length of the simple code based on the tone is equal to the number of characters (number of tones), the length of the code can be constant and the English alphabet is not booked. There is an advantage that can be used even in the keypad.

This can be applied to any language with tonality, such as Thai, Myanmar, etc. Every syllable in Thai has a tonal tone. There are five tones in Thai tone: Pyeongseong, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th stars. Thus, as in the case of Chinese, it is possible to map each tone to two buttons on the keypad. When one tone corresponds to two buttons on the keypad as in the case of Chinese, it is necessary to determine which of the two buttons corresponds to a certain standard such as the number of strokes or the number of element letters. Various standards are possible, but in the case of Thai, there are two types of vowels that are combined by syllable: short vowels and long vowels.

In addition, the tonal sign is added and the tonal sign is explicitly indicated (type formation), and the five tones are expressed according to the type of consonants, the rhythm of vowels, and the presence or absence of a seed consonant without adding a tonal sign (four types exist). It may be (formless). Thai consonants are divided into nine middle consonants, ten high consonants, and 23 consonants, and even in the case of tangible tones with the same tonal sign, different consonants may be used. Therefore, regardless of the actual tonality, the four cases of adding the four tones and the case of not toning the tones correspond to the two buttons on the keypad, respectively. Simple code can be set. This is specifically referred to as "simple code standard simple code".

In Myanmar, there are three tones: one to two, three to three. All three tones are indicated with the addition of the toll sign. Therefore, each tone can be associated with three buttons to buttons [1] to [9]. For example, a syllable of one tone corresponds to a button ([1], [2], [3] button) in the first row. One of three criteria for dividing the same syllable is syllables: syllables without seed consonants (eg ++), syllables without first consonants (eg ++), and first and seed consonants. You can use criteria to separate syllables (eg, child + mother + child). For example, if a syllable is one syllable syllable, it can be regarded as corresponding to one of the [1], [2], and [3] buttons, and the syllable is composed of "ja + mo" without a seed. If lost, the syllable is associated with the [1] button. Since all syllables in Myanmar have tonal symbols, and the syllable composition rules are mechanically known, applying them has the advantage of mechanically generating tonal simple codes for all words.

6.3 Unique Simple Code

If the decoding of the simple code can be performed on the client side (that is, the client side has a specific phrase and a simple code value corresponding to the specific phrase), the phrase corresponding to the input simple code is transmitted to the server side. Can be. Even if the simple code can be decoded on the client side, if the simple code is required on the server side according to the characteristics of the application, the simple code itself (that is, the sequence of numbers) must be transmitted to the server side. You can interpret it. This means that simple code decryption can be done on the client side or on the server side.

When a simple code is defined and used for a plurality of phrases, a plurality of phrases corresponding to the same simple code may exist. The ambiguity that can occur between simple codes is called "second ambiguity" for convenience. In this case, inside the system, it is possible to create a unique code value by adding a serial number to a simple code having the same value, but the user mainly uses the simple code associated with a specific phrase, which causes secondary ambiguity. In such a case, it is natural that the system should be able to recommend such phrases to users according to their use priority. In the case of different phrases and the same simple code, the serial number may be used as a priority for recommending the user to the user by attaching the serial number to the simple code according to the priority of the phrase. Of course, it does not have to be serialized, and the system may have separate priority information.

For example, if the simple code of "SEC information" is equal to the syllable-based initial code "9196" and the simple code of "sovereign information" is equal to the syllable-based initial code "9196", the serial number depends on the frequency of use of each word. And the serial number can be used as a priority for recommending to the user. If the frequency of use of "securities information" is high, the priority may be given to "securities information" = "91961" and "sovereign information" = "91962". The simple code generated by adding the serial number will be referred to as "unicode simple code" for convenience, and the simple code with redundancy without attaching the serial number is simply called "simple code" and encompasses both. "

6.4 Examples of Simple Codes

The following is an example of assigning a simple code (syllable standard initial code) to a city name. This can be useful in railway information systems.

. Seoul = 78, Suwon = 78, Daejeon = 39, Sintanjin = 739, ...

Here, the syllable-based initial codes of Seoul and Suwon are the same, so in order to avoid this in the system, the simple codes may be unique, such as "Seoul = 781" and "Suwon = 782". If the user sends only "78" to the system, the system will give the appropriate feedback (eg, provide a list of Seoul and Suwon or speak it by voice) and let the user choose between Seoul and Suwon. If the user recognized this from the beginning and entered "781", the system could recognize it as "Seoul."

If the server-side system does not require the simple code "78" but needs the word "Seoul" itself, the client side interprets the simple code "78" and transmits "Seoul" to the server side. Alternatively, even if the simple code can be interpreted on the client side, if the server requires the simple code itself according to the characteristics of the application, the input simple code itself may be sent to the server side.

Here are some examples of securities stocks (listed companies): This can be useful in various securities information systems.

. Donghwa Pharm = 3098, Digital Shipbuilding = 39397, Handong Freetel = 83643, ...

For example, in the case of "Digital Chosun", it is possible to give a visually better effect to the user by highlighting and displaying "c, r, r, r, r" used as the basis of syllable-based initial codes.

An example of a bank code is as follows: This can be useful in ATMs and various financial information systems.

. National (Bank) = 14, Hana (Bank) = 82, ...

Here, it is obvious that the user can utilize the simple code so that the user can input the phrase by interpreting and displaying it to the user. This is called a "shortcut input method", and will be described in detail together with a "parallel input method" next.

6.5 Automatic reassignment of priority according to frequency of selection

Furthermore, if the priorities of "Securities Information" and "Sovereign Information" were first and second respectively, but the number of times a particular user selects "Sovereign Information" is remarkably high, the priority of "Sovereign Information" should be changed. It may be adjusted to be higher than the priority of "securities information". There are various ways as described, but you can achieve this by changing the serial number. If the system has priority information separately, it is possible to change the priority information.

The criteria for determining whether the number of times to select "sovereignty information" is remarkably large may be determined by the system or may be (re) designated by the user. For example, if the selection criteria is different from the predetermined priority at least eight times out of ten times, the existing priority may be automatically corrected. Depending on the option, you may be asked to confirm the correction.

6.6 Automatic designation of simple code and incidence of simple code

In particular, consonant-related simple codes, syllable-based initial codes, and word-based initial codes, in addition to all-related simple codes, have regularities in generating simple codes as described above. If you enter a specific phrase in the specified state, the corresponding simple code can be automatically extracted and stored in the system. In addition, by displaying the alphabet associated with the simple code, it is possible to increase the ease of use. In the case of English, the alphabet associated with the simple code is highlighted and displayed.

In addition, the earlier application proposed "shortening input method" and "shortening / pool parallel input method". The simple code for the shortcut input can be defined in the system, the user can change it, and the user can specify the simple code for the new phrase.

In deciding simple codes for new phrases, simple code generation rules such as totally related simple code, partially related simple code, consonant related simple code, syllable based initial code, and word based initial code can be used. For example, if a user wants to use the word-based initial code as a simple code in generating a simple code for "dance with the wolf," enter "dance with the wolf" in the simple code generation mode. Enter the word-based initial code "3983". Similarly, in generating the simple code for the "securities information", if you want to use the syllable-based initial code as the simple code, in the simple code generation mode, enter "securities information", and enter "9196".

However, if the user designates a simple code for a specific phrase, the simple code can be stored in the system and the phrase to be generated is entered. Can be assigned automatically. In the example above, the syllable-based initialco is set in the system, and by entering only "securities information", the simple code for "securities information" can be automatically designated as "9196".

In the case of English, capital letters can be used to highlight and display the alphabet to be used as a simple code. Therefore, the simple code designation method can be specified in advance by using an uppercase letter as the simple code, and when a "DaTe ToNignt" input is made, "3886" corresponding to the uppercase letter "DTTN" is automatically designated as the simple code or "ToNignt ShoW". Upon input, "8679" corresponding to the uppercase "TNSW" can be automatically designated as a simple code.

6.7 Shortcut Input Method and Parallel Input Method of Phrase Using Simple Code

When a simple code (initial code is a special case of the simple code, it is included in the simple code unless otherwise specified) is recognized as a phrase corresponding to the simple code by the system (client side system or server side system). It is possible to process. Therefore, if a phrase corresponding to a specific simple code is recognized and shown to the user, it can be used to input a word.

In fact, in the foreign alphabet input method, an index assigned to the word “all associated simple codes” is stored in the terminal (client-side system), and the word corresponding to the code is displayed according to the individual priority when the user inputs the code. The character input system is implemented by allowing to determine. You can find two Internet sites at http://www.tegic.com and http://www.zicorp.com. Such a method will be referred to as " whole associated shortened input method " or " foreign method " in the present invention for convenience.

Comparing Tegic's and Zi's method with the alphabet input method from the applicant's keypad, the applicant's alphabet input method assigns a unique code in alphabetical units and inputs the target alphabet or target phrase by full code. In the foreign method mentioned above, the whole associated simple code is given in word units, and the target word can be input by the simple code.

The disadvantage of the foreign method is that it is possible to input only a predefined word by assigning a code in word units, and to use a toggle button or a move button to input a word that is not frequently used in case of different words with the same code. By selecting and confirming words, input is not easy, words that are not target words may appear temporarily at the time of input, occupy a large amount of storage capacity of the system and are expensive to implement.

Here, it is pointed out that a simple code (some association or all association) is given to a commercial phrase (a concept including both a commercial word or a common phrase), and a target phrase can be input using a simple code. The simple code for the common phrase can be defined in the system and provided to the user, and the user must be able to specify it arbitrarily. Alternatively, the user should be able to modify the simple code predefined in the system. What the user can specify randomly has the advantage that the user can easily know the simple code value for a particular common phrase.

In the present invention, a method of inputting a target phrase using a simple code (including partially associated simple code, all associated simple code, and initial code) is called a "shortened input method" for convenience, and a method of inputting a target alphabet by a full code. For convenience, it is called "full input method" in preparation for a short input method. In addition, as described below, the shortcut input method and the pool input method can be applied in parallel, and the method of applying the shortcut input method and the pool input method in parallel can be simply referred to as "short / full parallel input method" or simply "parallel." Input method ".

The ambiguity generated by using the repeated selection method among the full input methods that assign a unique code in alphabetical units and input the code is called "primary ambiguity" or "alphabetic ambiguity" for convenience. Shall be. On the other hand, there is an ambiguity in which different words exist for the same code in a way of assigning a code to all words and inputting a target word through the code as in a foreign method. We will call it "ambiguity" or "phrase ambiguity". In the present invention, simply ambiguity means primary ambiguity.

If a simple code is first interpreted as a simple code (i.e., a shortened input method is first applied or a shortened input mode is used as a basic input code), and there is no simple code corresponding to the input value, the second code is converted into a full code. It is possible to construct a scenario such as recognizing (i.e., applying the full input method secondarily) .On the contrary, it checks whether the full code is formed first on the input value (that is, applying the full input method first or the basic input mode). If a full code is not formed, a simple code can be recognized as a simple code (that is, a secondary input method is applied secondarily). The primary interpretation of the input code as simple code is to apply the "short input mode" as the basic input mode, whereas the primary interpretation to full code is "full input mode" as the basic input mode. It can be seen to apply. It is desirable that users who use commercial phrases mainly in text input should apply the shortcut input method (that is, use the shortcut input mode as the basic input mode), and if not, the full input method is applied first. That is, it is preferable to use the full input mode as the basic input mode.

When the basic input mode is set to the full input mode, the input value is first interpreted as a full code. Therefore, even when a simple code is input, the input value can form a full code. A word other than the target word may be input. For example, in the case of applying the standard repetition selection method as the full input method in FIG. 4-2, the simple code of the word "corn" is set to "877" (using syllable-based initial codes), and this is primarily input. It is considered full code, so it can be recognized as "female", such as "corn", "corn", "inexhaustible", "war", "excellent", "waste", "woodangtang", etc. The first letter of the first letter corresponds to the same button. On the contrary, when the short input mode is set as the basic input mode, the input value is primarily interpreted as a simple code, and thus, even when the full code is input, it may be recognized as a word other than the target word. In other words, this is the ambiguity between the simple code and the full code, which is called "third ambiguity" for convenience.

This third order ambiguity can be overcome by a toggle method or a method selected from a list similarly to the existing method. Alternatively, another method may be used to switch from full input mode to short input mode or short input mode to full input mode before inputting an input value that may cause such ambiguity. It is possible to enter one word in katakana in hiragana mode, or one word in hiragana mode in hiragana mode, by selecting the word hiragana / katagana conversion control by selecting "a / a" control as suggested in the applicant's application. It is similar to that. For example, if the default input mode is the full input mode, the system recognizes it as a simple code from the beginning and inputs the index by referring to the index. The target word can be provided to the user. In the case of using the shortcut input mode as the basic input mode, the input value input after selecting the "short / full" control can be recognized and processed as a full code from the beginning. The "short / full" control may likewise be pre-input or post-input to the target word, but in this case it would be convenient to pre-input.

The determination of whether the input value is a full code or a simple code when the parallel input method is applied may be made in units of words as in the case of referencing an index to remove the first ambiguity. It may be determined whether it is a simple code.

When the full input method is set as the default mode and the parallel input method is applied, the input value is judged as a simple code at a time when it is determined that the full code is not formed by checking whether the input value forms a full code every time one code is input. Therefore, the efficiency of the parallel input method can be doubled by showing the user a phrase corresponding to the simple code index. Similarly, when the parallel input method is applied to the short-term input method as the default mode, the entire input method is set at the moment of comparing the input value and the index every time a code is input and confirms that there is no word that matches the input value in the index. It can be determined by the full code of. This means that the third order ambiguity that occurs in the middle of the input can be removed at the beginning of the input by applying the rules of each full input method. This also applies to the case of using the alphabet input method which is not presented in the previous application as the full input method. For example, based on the pool input method (standard repeat selection method, partial partial selection method) presented in the previous application,

In the case of Korean, for example, when the standard repetition selection method is applied based on Fig. 4-2 as a full input method, the second input value and the third input value of all syllables by the full code must always have the same value. If this condition is violated, the input value can be determined as a simple code and processed. In the case where the consonant is allowed to be processed as a combination of basic consonants, the judgment criteria may be applied accordingly. This is applicable in all cases where the standard repetition method is applied.

Also, in all languages, when the partial full selection method is applied as a full input method, two input values correspond to one alphabet, and the second input value is limited to the first input value among the two input values. . For example, in the case of English, when only left and right linear combinations are used as shown in Fig. 1-1, if the numbers are not selected by the partial partial selection method, the buttons in the first row ([1], [2], [3]) are used. ) Is used as the first input value corresponding to one alphabet, the value that can come as the second input value is the button ([1], [2], [3]) of the first row. Similarly, if the second row of buttons ([4], [5], [6]) is entered after [2] + [1] is entered, the next value to form the full code is also the second row. It is one of the buttons [4], [5], and [6]. As soon as the input value violates this, the system considers the input value as a simple code and can recommend the word corresponding to the simple code to the user according to the priority. If the partial partial selection method is applied to Fig. 4-2, there is only a [1] or [2] button with the next button that can come upon input of the first [1] button to form a full code. In case of breaching this, it is determined that the input value is a simple code rather than a full code, and the target word corresponding to the input value can be recommended to the user according to the priority by referring to the index. As shown in Figs. 1-3, when four alphabets of P, Q, R, and S are assigned to the [7] button, one of the four alphabets, as indicated in the earlier application, will be arranged in a grid forming a vertical combination. In this case, when the [7] button is input to form a full code for one alphabet, the next button is the third row of buttons ([7], [8], [9]) or up and down. Only the adjacent combination's button ([4] button) can come, so if it violates it, the input value can be treated as a simple code. This is applicable for all languages when the partial partial selection method set out in the earlier application is applied.

In case of FIG. 4-5, only one basic consonant is assigned to each button. Therefore, when a syllable-based initial code that can be used universally in Korean is used as a simple code, even when the short input method and the full input method are applied in parallel, 3 There is a good feature that allows input without car ambiguity. In other words, if the user inputs the syllable-based initial code when the parallel input method is applied, the input value cannot form the full code from the second input (when the sound and the sound are input by the control processing method). By searching, you can recommend the appropriate words to users based on their priorities. The same is true for full code input.

As an example above, it is one of the "cores" of the present invention that it is possible to determine whether the input value is a simple code or a full code in the middle of the input when the parallel input method is applied. This applies not only to the case of using the pool input method proposed by the applicant, but also to the case of using another pool input method. In particular, the full input method proposed by the applicant has a good characteristic that it is easy to know whether the input value forms a full code when the parallel input method is applied as in the above example.

Also, as mentioned in the applicant's earlier application, the interpretation of the simple code or full code may occur on the client side or on the server side. Also, in looking up the index to overcome the primary ambiguity (alphabetic ambiguity) in the previous application, the scenario where the server-side index is referred to secondarily by referring to the client-side index is also used to interpret the simple code or the full code. Applicable Conversely, it is possible to refer to the server-side index primarily, and to refer to the client-side index secondary. Furthermore, the input value is first interpreted as a simple code, but the client-side index is first referred to, the server-side index is referred to secondly, and if the simple code for the input value cannot be retrieved, it is interpreted as full code again. However, if the analysis is performed on the client side first, and the client side does not have such an analysis function, it is possible to analyze on the server side secondarily. As another example, the input value may be primarily interpreted as a simple code, but may be provided to the user and the target word may be selected by the user by referring to both the client-side index and the server-side index. Similar modifications are possible in applying the analysis method (simple code, full code) and the analysis location (client side, server side). In other words, various combinations are possible in the application of the analysis method (simple code, full code) and the analysis location (client side, server side).

The advantages of applying the short input method and the full input method in parallel are as follows. First, the full input method can be used, so the user can input all words even if they do not exist in the dictionary other than the predefined words. / All association), and the number of input strokes can be greatly reduced by specifying a partial association simple code. And there is an advantage that can be given a word-based initial code not only for words but also for phrases. However, the foreign method uses a word-based index for all word inputs, so the total associated simple code has to be used to minimize the case where the same code is assigned to different words.

In addition, the system must have a "index" that contains a specific phrase and code value for that phrase, requiring much less storage than a foreign method that has a "index" for every word. do. And this "index" must have in the system either a "index" for the correct word or a "index" for the wrong word in order for the ambiguity to occur, in order to eliminate ambiguity. Can be used as

In every language, the phonetic consonant has a phonetic consonant, so the technique of extracting consonants and making abbreviations has been widely used. In the case of English, for example, in the military term "captain", the consonant "CPT" which has a phonetic value is extracted and used as an abbreviation, "PVT" in "private", and "SGT" in "sergent". Is used as an abbreviation, "staff sergent" is used as an abbreviation "SSG", "sergent first class" is used as an abbreviation, and so on. Of course, the "captain" and "private" is composed of two syllables, respectively, but the consonants extracted by the abbreviation can be regarded as consonants representing each syllable. Thus, in the case of "captain", "278" associated with "CPT" can be specified as a simple code.

As described above, being able to apply a shortened input method by arbitrarily designating a partial association simple code for a common phrase based on syllables has a significant meaning in addition to reducing input effort. Phonetically, syllables are defined as "psychological entities." It is also consonant to have a note in a syllable. If only the collection "AAI" is extracted from the example captain, it is almost impossible to infer the captain. However, extracting the consonant "CPTN" or "CPT" makes it easy to infer the captain. If you remove a vowel for each word in a sentence and list only consonants, you can usually infer the original sentence. In other words, the use of the partial association simple code in association with each consonant that constitutes the syllable means that the user can naturally adapt to the short input method and can be convenient for the user.

In particular, in English, the use of abbreviations is common, and in the case of listed companies, a certain number of abbreviations are designated, so simple codes can be used based on these abbreviations.

To allow a user to specify a simple code (partial association or total association) for a particular phrase, there is an advantage in that it is easy to remember a code value for a common phrase. Furthermore, if a user requires only a few common phrases (eg use less than 10 common phrases), they do not assign codes associated with the alphabet of common phrases, but only 1 for each phrase. You can also assign simple codes such as, 2, 3, ...

6.8 Grouping Simple Codes / Phrasebooks and Specifying Search Ranges

If you specify a simple code for a large number of phrases, there is a possibility that a lot of redundancy may occur. By grouping the phrases corresponding to the simple code, the simple code is searched only for a specific group of phrases. Can be reduced. A phrase does not necessarily belong to one group, but may belong to several groups.

For example, grouping simple-named phrases into groups of listed companies, cities, commercial phrases, ..., and grouping them into sub-groups such as social, political, ... Can be grouped In this example, two levels of tree grouping are presented, but the tree grouping is possible in three, four, or more steps. If the user (or the system) restricts the simple code search range to the listed company name group, the system searches for named phrases that correspond to the simple code entered only in the category of the listed company name group. Can reduce ambiguity. Similarly, if the search range is a commercial phrase, it can be a search range including all sub-groups below the common phrase group. If a social field group is designated as a search range among common phrase groups, only the group including the social field or less (in a tree-type group structure) will be search range.

6.9 Use of a relay server

The simple code can be interpreted on the client side or on the server side, and the phrase corresponding to the simple code is provided to the client side or another server side in charge of decoding the simple code (including the full code in some cases). You can put a relay server that does. See FIG. 6-1. In addition, in FIG. 6-1, if the client side decodes the simple code primarily and does not interpret the phrase corresponding to the input simple code, the phrase corresponding to the simple code input from the relay server is secondarily analyzed and the analysis fails. In turn, it is possible to interpret the phrase corresponding to the simple code input from each server in the third place. The third simple code decryption server ("tertiary server" for convenience) is a server equipped with an application using an input simple code or a phrase corresponding to the simple code.

If a relay server is provided, even if the tertiary server needs a phrase other than a simple code, the user can enter the simple code and the relay server does not have to store the simple code and the phrase corresponding to the simple code. It is possible for the relay server to interpret the simple code input from the user and deliver the phrase corresponding to the simple code to the tertiary server.

Each time a code value of a simple code is input, the phrase corresponding to the simple code is searched for the index stored and the feedback is given to the client side or each server side, or the word unit may be provided.

6.10 Word Division

In the present invention, the word unit means from the beginning of the word to the end of the word. This can be identified by a combination of words and all elements that can differentiate words (word start, space, mode switch, enter, ...). For example, space ~ space, space ~ mode switch can identify that a word has been entered through the beginning of the word to the end of the word.Give feedback in word units can be fully implemented through languages that support the current network environment. have.

6.11 Downloading simple codes / correspondence phrases

Furthermore, a simple code on the server side and a phrase corresponding to the simple code can be downloaded to the client side without the user directly inputting and storing the phrase.

The downloading unit may be downloaded in a single phrase unit, or may be downloaded in a group unit (group of tree structure) of the above-mentioned phrases. If you select the upper group, you can download the lower group. It can be downloaded while maintaining the tree structure of the server-side phrase group, or it can be downloaded as a group designated by the user on the client side. If there is a relay server whose main function is decoding of simple code, the relay server may be in charge of this function.

7. Entering Symbols

As presented in the previous application, it has been explained that it is possible to arrange the national language alphabet in "order close to the reference grid", and then to place numbers and English alphabets. It has been explained that alphabets and numbers can be selected. Likewise, in applying the subsequent control processing method, not only the national language alphabet belonging to a specific button, but also a number and an English alphabet can be input through the subsequent control processing method.

The present invention further provides a method (e.g., by means of a hidden control processing method) in which various symbols and the like that can be displayed and inputted on the keypad at an earlier application can be efficiently input without displaying on the keypad. .

In other words, the symbol control is placed in the appropriate grid among the grids in which the controls are arranged in the previous application, and a symbol is inputted by combining a symbol control with a button (a button other than a control button) that can mean a symbol. Here, for example, a button that can mean a symbol is a [5] button because a period can be easily associated with "ㅁ" in the period.

For example, in the Korean embodiment (FIG. 4-2) of the invention of the prior application, the symbol control may be placed at the position of the grid selectable by pressing the [*] button twice in succession. In other words, a (representative alphabet), ㅋ (2nd), symbol (3rd), ... such as the relationship between the representative alphabet and the subsequent alphabet. For control pre-input, when entering "period", ㅁ = {Symbol} + ㅁ = [*] + [*] + [5]. When input after control, ㅁ = ㅁ + {Symbol} = [5] + [*] + [*]. If the symbol control is placed at the position of the grid selectable by pressing the [*] button three times, the input of the [*] button is added one by one in the example.

If only one symbol control is provided, only about 10 symbols can be input, even if each of the 10 number buttons has one meaning. For example, the meaning of the symbol is given to each button as follows.

[1] button:? The meaning of the word ("ㄱ" is placed, similar in shape to?)

[2] button:! Meaning ("ㄴ" is placed, the same as the first letter of "exclamation mark")

[3] button: The meaning of $.

[4] button: ...

[5] button:. Meaning ("ㅁ" is placed, the same as the first letter of the "period")

[6] button: Meaning of * ("ㅂ" is placed, same as first letter of "asterisk")

[7] button:, meaning ("ㅅ" is placed, same as first letter of "comma")

[8] button: meaning of "(" ㅇ "is placed, same as the first letter of" quotation code ")

[9] Button: Meaning of ~ (vowel "ㅡ" is placed but looks similar to ~)

[0] button: Meaning of @ (number 0 is placed and looks like @)

As described above, a symbol can be input by combining a button and a symbol control that can be associated with various symbols. The meanings of the symbols on each button are as follows: the association between the national name / shape of the symbol and the placed alphabet, or the relationship between the English name / shape and the placed English alphabet, and the assigned numeric name / shape. The meaning of the symbol can be given by considering the relation of This may not be the same as it may vary depending on the taste of the individual, and may also allow the individual to (re) set the meaning of the symbol for each button.

Through this, a frequently used symbol can be treated as if it is a subsequent alphabet belonging to a number button that is easily associated with an example. In the above example, the question mark is associated with the [1] button with the "a" placed in consideration of the similarity of the shape, because the period that is used more frequently than the question mark starts with "ㅁ".

Similarly, in assigning meanings to symbols for each button, an English name / shape or a numeric name / shape can be used. The example below can be used interchangeably with the national language.

[1] button:? Meaning (the alphabetic letter "q" is placed, the same as the first letter of the "Question mark")

[2] button:, meaning ("c" is placed, same as first letter of "Comma")

[3] button:. Meaning ("d" is placed, the same as the first letter of "Dot")

[4] button:! Meaning ("i" is placed and looks like "!")

[5] button: ...

[6] button: ...

[7] button: Meaning of / ("s" is arranged but same as first letter of "Slash")

[8] button:: Meaning (the number "8" is placed: and looks similar to)

[9] button:! Meaning ("x" is placed and associated with "eXclamation mark")

[0] button: Meaning of @ (number 0 is placed and looks like @)

The meaning of symbols based on the English language can be usefully used even in non-English speaking languages using keypads marked with mixed English. In addition, setting colons with similarities in the shape of the number 8 also has the advantage that they can be used universally regardless of language. Similarly, comma may be regarded as a subsequent alphabet belonging to the [9] button with similarity to the number 9, but not in the above example.

Just set the symbol control to the appropriate button. In English, if you do not place any other control on the [*] button in Figure 1-1, select the [*] button 1 tarot symbol control (that is, place the symbol control at the position of the [*] button reference grid). And in European languages with subscript variant alphabets, the symbol control can be placed at the reference grid of the [0] or [#] button. However, if you put the symbol control on the [0] button, it is better not to give the meaning of the "@" symbol as in the example above.

If the symbol control is placed on the [*] button and the control input is applied, when colon (:) is input in Fig. 1-1 in English, it is as follows:: = [8] + {symbol} = [8] + [*] do.

As shown in the example above, if you assign one symbol to each button and the symbol control is placed on only one grid of the control button, you can enter only about 10 symbols. In addition, in order to give meaning to each button, as in the example of English, the button assigned "s" may be assigned meanings such as slash, semi-colon, period, but only one of them is given the meaning of slash. Since the meaning of dot is also given to the button assigned to "d", the exclamation mark inevitably takes into account the similarity of shape, so the button assigned to "i" is assigned to "!". Given meaning.

Therefore, by allowing a large number of symbol controls (for example, symbol control 1, symbol control 2, ...) to select a control, a larger number of symbols can be input through the control processing method. For example, "d" gives the meaning of the assigned dot (or "while" gives the meaning of "period"), and treats similar comma as if it were a subsequent alphabet of dot. have.

As in the example of FIG. 7-2 in which the symbol control is added to FIG. 4-5, the "symbol control 1" can be selected by using the [*] button 3, and when the post-control input is applied, dot = [3] + {Symbol1} = [3] + [*] + [*] + [*], comma = [3] + {symbol2} = [3] + [*] + [*] + [*] + Becomes [*]. From the point of view of chained subsequent control processing, comma = dot + {next} = dot + [*} = [3] + [*] + [*] + [*] + [*]. If no sound is to be input by the control method (ie no sound control), it is natural that "symbol control 1" is selected for the [*] button 2 (skip control processing). Similarly colons and semi-colon of similar shape can be regarded as subsequent alphabets assigned to the same button and entered by the control method. The same applies to other symbols.

Even when two symbol controls are used as "Symbol Control 1" and "Symbol Control 2", each button should be given meaning and remembered, and there is a limit to the number of symbols that can be input. do. Thus, you can enter more symbols by grouping symbols with the same tricks as dot and comma and colon and semi-colon groups, and by placing multiple symbol controls.

It is desirable to allow the symbols to be grouped as the user's convenience. In the present invention, examples of symbol groupings that can be generally used are shown. First, the deformation form of the dot may be set as a group based on the shape of various symbols. For example, dot (.), Comma (,), colon (:), semi-colon (;), quotation mark ("), ..., question mark (?), Exclamation mark (!), .. It is possible to group them together in the form of a dot, that is, a "zero-dimensional" symbol grouped together, where? And! Are both zero- and one-dimensional. In terms of subgroup ranking, the frequency of use may be taken into account, as mentioned in the earlier filing, but it may be better to allow the user to set it. When the number of symbols is large, it may be convenient to input the symbol control afterwards. In the terminal with the display window, it can be seen that the symbol changes as the control button is pressed.

The association of the grouped dot (0-dimensional) symbols to specific buttons can also be set for the user's convenience. For example, if you can represent a group and the most commonly used symbol is dot, it can be considered as a subsequent alphabet belonging to the [3] button containing the dot's "d". In the example of FIG. 7-1 in which the symbol control is added to FIG. 1-1, when the symbol control button is set to the [*] button and the input after control is applied, dot = [3] + [*], comma = [3] + [*] + [*], colon = [3] + [*] + [*] + [*], semi-colon = [3] + [*] + [*] + [*] + [*] , ... Or, if it is a 0-dimensional form and is considered to be a subsequent alphabet belonging to the [0] button, it will be combined with the [0] button rather than the [3] button. Alternatively, the dot form is the most basic form, so it can be considered as a subsequent alphabet belonging to the [1] button.

Next, you can group the symbols in the form of lines, that is, "one-dimensional" into groups. For example, slash (/), hat symbol (^), question mark (?), Exclamation mark (!), Parentheses 1 ((), parentheses 2 ()), angle brackets 1 (<), angle brackets Grouping like 2 (>), square brackets 1 ([), square brackets 2 (]), tildes (~), minus (-), arrow 1 (<-), arrow 2 (->), ... can do. Also, as described in the earlier application, sub-orders may be assigned in consideration of the frequency of use, and associating this with a subsequent alphabet of a specific button may set an appropriate button as described above. For example, it is regarded as a subsequent alphabet belonging to the [1] button or as a subsequent alphabet of the [5] button in which the letter “l” is placed.

Then you can group the combination of lines, that is, "two-dimensional" forms into groups. For example, at (@), ampersent (&), asterisk (*), sharp (#), dollar ($), won symbol (W + =), yen symbol (¥), ..., heart1 (♡) , heart2 (♥), clover 1 (♧), white hair 1 (◁), white hair 2 (▷), white hair 3 (▽), ..., black hair 1 (◀), ..., ☏, You can group like ☎, ☜, ♨, etc. Again, subpriorities can be considered in terms of frequency of use, and the appropriate method of associating with a particular button is acceptable. However, it is necessary to associate the symbol of the 0-dimensional form and the symbol of the 1-dimensional form with the button other than the button.

As mentioned above, when grouping symbols into three groups of 0-dimensional 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional form (referred to as "3 large groups" for convenience), it is advantageous to remember only 3 related numeric buttons. When inputting, there is a disadvantage of pressing the control button several times. Thus, if you show an example of subdividing the group further (called "detailed group" for convenience),

First, two-dimensional symbol groups are divided into symbol groups (eg *, #,%, ...) that form a combination of lines and symbol groups (eg ◁, ◀, ...) that form a single closed curve. Can be. In addition, in the group, symbols that form pictures such as ☏, ☎, ☜, ♨, ... can be placed in separate groups. You can also place it in a subsequent alphabet that belongs to the appropriate button. If these groups are to be set apart, these symbols may or may not be excluded from the preceding symbol group, as are other cases.

Next, the symbols used in the equations among the one-dimensional or two-dimensional symbols, that is, +,-, *, /, root (√), sigma (∑), integral (∫), ..., etc. Can be placed in groups. You can also place it in a subsequent alphabet that belongs to the appropriate button.

You can also divide the symbols that indicate the direction: →, ←, ↑, ↓, ↗, ↙, ↖, ↘, ◁, ▷, ◀, ... into groups. You can also consider subsequent alphabets in conjunction with the appropriate buttons.

In addition, various groups of parentheses that can form another group relatively reasonably, that is, (,), [,], {,}, <,>, ... may be placed in another group. Also, in grouping in the form of parentheses, the left parenthesis and the right parenthesis may be grouped respectively.

In the case of not having only three major groups and allowing subgroups to be entered by them, they said that the alphabet belonging to the detailed group may or may not be left in the three major groups. Will have to put on.

The symbol grouping described above is applied to FIG. 1-1 to show an example in which a group of symbols is regarded as a subsequent alphabet of a specific button. A symbol group in the 0-dimensional form is considered to be a follow-up alphabet belonging to the [0] button, a symbol group in the 1-dimensional form is considered to be a follow-up alphabet belonging to the [1] button, and a symbol group in the two-dimensional form is included in the [2] button. A symbol group in the form of a single closed curve among two-dimensional symbol groups is regarded as an alphabet belonging to the [8] button, and a symbol group in the form of a figure in the two-dimensional symbol group belongs to the [7] button. The mathematical symbol group is regarded as a follow-up alphabet belonging to the [6] button, the direction symbol group is regarded as a follow-up alphabet belonging to the [3] button, and the parentheses symbol group is regarded as a follow-up alphabet belonging to any of the remaining numeric buttons. Can be considered. As described above, this is only one example of associating a symbol group with each button, and may be set for convenience of the user.

Taken together, the symbol can be considered as a subsequent alphabet belonging to a particular button, and can be grouped into three groups (0, 1, 2) in the control process, or a little more subdivided into 10 or less groups. It is one of the essences of the present invention that the grouping can be used to input almost any symbol. In addition, each group of symbols is regarded as a follow-up alphabet belonging to a specific button, and it is treated as a follow-up alphabet belonging to a button associated with a group of symbols by name, dimension, shape, etc., so that the symbols are not displayed on the keypad. It is one of the cores of the present invention to be able to use a "hidden follow-up control method" while maintaining the alphabetical arrangement.

In the present application, the [*] button or any one of the up, down, left and right buttons is mainly used as a control button for a symbol, and a [#] button can be used as a subsequent control button for numbers and English alphabets. For example, if the [#] button is already used as a follow-on control button, additional controls for numbers and alphabets can be placed on the available grid on the [#] button. In this case too, in the selection of the control, as mentioned above, the control that cannot be combined with the representative alphabet can be skipped so that the next available control is selected.

8. How to use the move button

8.1 Use as a control button

According to the earlier application, control buttons in which various controls are arranged may be placed on any button in the 4 * 3 keypad, or may be placed on a separate button other than the 4 * 3 keypad. In the first application, especially in languages with a large number of letters and a large number of modified alphabets, you may have experienced a lack of buttons for use as control buttons in a 4 * 3 keypad. In the present invention, it is pointed out that the primary function of the left / up / down movement button which is not used relatively frequently in the character input mode can be used as a control button mentioned in the present application and the present invention and shows such an example. In other words, in the character input mode, a separate button outside the 4 * 3 keypad is used as a control button, and the up / down / left movement buttons are used as the control button.

8-1 shows a button of a clamshell terminal which is typically used at present. The dashed [i] button is for accessing the Internet. This button may or may not be present depending on the terminal. In this case, the right shift button is used to input a space, and in Korean, it is also used as a syllable (letter) confirmation button for removing the first ambiguity. In the menu selection mode other than the text input mode, the up / down / left navigation buttons are useful as a navigation button for selecting a menu. However, in the character input mode, the up / down / left movement buttons are not frequently used, and the up / down movement buttons are not frequently used. For convenience, the up / down / left navigation buttons are combined to be referred to as “up and down navigation buttons” or “up and down left buttons”, and the up / down navigation buttons are referred to as “up and down navigation buttons” or “up and down buttons”. The same point is used when referring to a moving button in one direction.

8.2 Arrange bottom button

First, the up, down, left and right buttons are usually placed above the number buttons. However, in the text input mode, it is useful to place these buttons at the bottom of the 4 * 3 keypad together with the [*] and [#] buttons, which are mainly used as control buttons, in order to use the primary functions as buttons for various alphabet input. It can be seen. 8-2 and 8-3 illustrate this. However, this is not necessarily the case. For convenience, the example of the present invention will be described as an example in which a move button is disposed below the 4 * 3 keypad.

Here, it can be seen that the 5 * 3 keypad can be configured by combining the 4 * 3 keypad and the up and down buttons. This means that when applying the partial partial selection method, each button can be divided into 15 grids of 3x5. Similarly, it is not necessary to arrange the up and down buttons so as to configure a 5 * 3 keypad as shown in Figure 8-3.

8.3 Move Button Left or Right Position

The up, down, left and right navigation buttons can also be placed on the left or right side of the 4 * 3 keypad.

In this case, in applying the partial partial selection method, the 4 * 4 keypad can be configured by combining the 4 * 3 keypad and the move button. 8-4 illustrates an example in which the up, down, left, and right moving buttons are provided on the right side of the 4 * 3 keypad.

This tends to increase in the size of the liquid crystal in the terminal, there is an advantage that the size of the liquid crystal of the terminal can be configured larger. In addition, the side battery mounting method of the mobile terminal presented in the applicant's Korean patent applications 10-2000-0002081, 10-2000-0005671, 10-2000-0067852, 10-2001-0002137 has good characteristics when applied in parallel.

8.4 Various use cases as control buttons and buttons for alphabet input

In the following, an example of using the move button is given. It is not limited to the following cases.

8.4.1 Example of use as symbol control button

In the Korean language, the sound control and the sound control are sometimes disposed on the [*] and [#] buttons, respectively. In addition, the sound control and sound control are arranged in the [*] button, and the [#] button is arranged only in the basic vowel control and in the expansion vowel control, and in the case of the [#] button, only the expansion vowel control is arranged. In this case, the symbol control is placed on the [*] button or the [#] button, and then the beep, the beep, etc. first appear according to the input after the control button, and then the symbol is selected. The same is true for other languages.

However, if the symbol control is separated and placed in any one of the up, down, left and right buttons, the symbol can be input as soon as the combination of the button associated with the symbol group and the symbol control button in which the symbol control is arranged is input. 8-5 shows an example in which the primary function of the down shift button is used as a control button for selecting a symbol control. An example of applying post-control input to a symbol group in the 0-dimensional form is dot = [3] + [v], comma = [3] + [v] + [v], colon = [3] + [v] + [v] + [v], semi-colon = [3] + [v] + [v] + [v] + [v], ...

8.4.2 Example of using vowel element buttons in Korean

In particular, in the case of using the vowel elements (ㅡ, ㅣ,.) In the Korean example, the vowel elements "." And "ㅎ" were placed together, resulting in inconvenience in inputting "ㅎ". By disposing at any of the left buttons, such inconvenience can be overcome. If the symbol control is placed on the down button and the vowel element "." Is on the up button, two buttons are used on the up, down, left, and right buttons. Alternatively, three Korean vowel elements can be placed on the up and down buttons.

Like the symbol control on the button with the sound control, the Korean vowel element "." At the reference grid position of any of the up and down buttons. In addition, the symbol control may be placed in the order close to the reference grid. 8-6 is such an example. In this case, since the vowel element "." Is not used alone, the vowel element and the symbol control can be selected without ambiguity even if the vowel element and the symbol control arranged by the repeated selection method are selected. In FIG. 8-6, when the [v] button is pressed once, the vowel element "." Is selected, and when pressed twice, the symbol control 1 is selected, and the third time, the symbol control 2 is selected.

8.4.3 Example of using a subscript control button in Japanese

Even in Japanese, the arrangement of 50 musical notes is associated with each button, the 2nd and 3rd follow-up controls are placed on the [*] button, and the 4th and 5th follow-up controls are placed on the [#] button. The control for inputting the long sound / taking / half-tone can be placed on any of the up and down buttons. See FIG. 8-7.

8.4.4 Examples of subscript control buttons for vowel input in Arabic

In Arabic, controls for handling subscript vowels can be distributed to any button (s) of the up and down buttons.

8.5 Example of Control Buttons in Thai

In the case of Thai, one control button was used as a subsequent control button without separating the consonant control and the vowel control. Any of the up, down, left and right buttons can be additionally used as a control button. Alternatively, it can be used as a control button of other.

8.5.1 Example of using shortcut / pull switch control button

When the parallel input method is applied, there is a third order ambiguity that occurs between simple code and full code. In order to eliminate this, a method of providing a "short / full" conversion control of word units is presented. For example, if you want to use the full input method as the default mode and enter a word by the short input method when applying the parallel input method, first select the "Shortcut / Pull" switching control, enter a space (right button), and enter a simple code. Is to type Of course, the order of the spaces and the "short / full" toggle control can be reversed. Here, the word-based "shortcut / full" switch can be placed on any of the up and down buttons. Alternatively, a control that combines a "short / full" switching control with a space (right button) can be placed at the reference grid position of any of the up, down, left and right buttons. Reference may be made to FIGS. 8-8.

If it is assumed that the English alphabet shown in Fig. 1-1 is arranged on the number buttons of Figs. 8-8, and the basic alphabet input mode is in the full input mode, the simple word "4357" associated with the help is inputted and the word help is entered. If you want to enter, "~ full code input + [^] + [4] + [3] + [5] + [7] + [>] + full code input ~" can be entered. In other words, limiting the movement function of the up / down button [^] and combining the "short / full" switching function of word unit and the space function, the system immediately follows the "[4] + ..." button when the [^] button is pressed. Recognizing that this is a simple code rather than a full code, we can refer to the index and recommend the user the closest word to the input [4]. As soon as the input of [4] + [3] + [5] + [7] is finished and the blank button ([>] button) is pressed, the word is terminated, so the "short / full" mode switching in word units is also terminated. Waiting for the full code again. If the [^] button is pressed again after the input of the simple code 4357, the system also recognizes that the word is finished and confirms the help corresponding to 4357 and waits for the input of the simple code again.

If only one right button (blank button) is used in the parallel input method, there may be a tertiary ambiguity that occurs between the full code and the simple code as mentioned in the earlier application. In addition, it should check whether the simple code exists or achieves the promised full code. However, the system can recognize in advance whether the input value is full code or simple code by putting the button that combines the "short / full" mode switching in word units and the space, so that the system performance can be reduced by reducing the calculation and searching. will be.

8.5.2 Example of using the add / drop button in calculator mode

The four navigation buttons are useful as the plus or minus (+,-, x, /) buttons most frequently used in calculator mode, regardless of their position. You can also add or subtract symbols from the buttons, but the calculator may not be used frequently compared to the alphabet input, so it may not be displayed on the buttons. This is because each button in the alphabet input mode will be used as a move button or a control button.

It is also possible to place an operator that can be used in a calculator on a subtraction subtraction button and select it by the (hidden) iterative selection method. Operators (binary operators) that are often used in calculator mode use properties that do not appear repeatedly. For example, there can be no calculation of 2 ++ 1. 2 ⁴ can also be solved by pressing 2xx4 to select the "square" operator by repeatedly pressing the multiplier (x) button. In other words, it is equivalent to repeatedly selecting the multiplication (xx) operator as a subsequent operator in the multiplication (x) button. Likewise (√3) can be solved by pressing 3 // 2 to select the square root operator by pressing the (/) button repeatedly. Since the other binary operators do not appear in duplicate, they can be left as successors belonging to the appropriate addition and subtraction control buttons and selected by the iterative selection method.

Three buttons of up, down, left, and right movement buttons can be added to the subtractor (+,-, /) operator and the (x) operator can use the [*] button.

9. Activating help function

Here, in each input mode, functions not displayed on the buttons (up / down / left / right) can be displayed on the screen (liquid crystal) to add convenience to use. In this case, there is a drawback of consuming a portion of the liquid crystal, of course, the user who digitizes the function of each operator button does not need to be displayed while consuming the space of the liquid crystal, but it can be very helpful for users who do not. Referring to FIG. 8-1, FIG. 9-1 illustrates an example in which the up, down, left, and right buttons are arranged in a similar form, assuming that the up, down, left, and right buttons are arranged on the right side of the 4 * 3 keypad.

In this way, displaying a function of a button (that is, an operator assigned to the button or a symbol group associated with each button) according to the user's convenience and intention is referred to as "activating a help function" for convenience. Activation of the help function can be done for each mode (e.g. alphabet input mode, calculator mode), or for each of the required functions (e.g. the use of numeric buttons or control buttons associated with a symbol group in the alphabet input mode). It may be.

Similarly, the numeric buttons associated with the function of the control button or the symbol group presented in the previous application can also be convenient for the user by displaying on the liquid crystal when necessary. See Figure 9-2. 9-2 shows an example in which a number button associated with each symbol group is iconized and displayed on the liquid crystal based on the symbol group classification exemplified above. Of the symbols of the symbol group associated with each number button, only the first selected symbol is added to the number button icon.

10. How to use the delete button

In using the delete button, it can be used as the "cancel final input" introduced in the earlier application. For example, if you try to enter "ㄱ" in the figure, you type "ㅋ" by entering [1] + [*] and press the delete button to cancel the last entry ([*]) and return it to "ㄱ". It can be. This can be useful for entering subsequent alphabets by repeatedly pressing the control buttons. If the cancel button is pressed continuously, the known alphabet may be deleted as usual. For example, if you press the Cancel button once while entering "Kana-K", it becomes "Kana-a". If you press it again, it becomes "Kana", and if you press it again, it becomes "A-ga". If you type "aba .." in the Roman alphabet (the last "a .." is a modified alphabet consisting of ".. + a"), press the delete button once to become "aba", then press "ab" again. When pressed again, it becomes "a". That is, alphabets already formed are deleted in alphabetical units.

11.Unification of numeric keypad of keyboard and keypad of telephone terminal

It is apparent that the keypad disclosed in the present application and the present invention can be applied to all fields in the form of a telephone keyboard, such as a numeric keypad of a mobile terminal or a standard keyboard or a keypad or door lock configured in software on a screen. In addition, the numeric keypad provided on the standard keyboard is different from the arrangement of the keypad and the numeric buttons presented in the earlier application and the present invention, it is apparent that the arrangement on the keypad button in the prior application and the present invention can also be applied to the keypad provided in the keyboard. For example, in the present application and in the present invention, the alphabet disposed on the [1] button is placed on the [1] button of the numeric keypad provided on the keyboard, and in the same manner below, alphabet input, utilization of simple codes, and memorization of various codes. Can be used for

However, in order to reduce confusion and add convenience of use, the numeric keypad of the telephone keypad can be utilized in configuring the numeric keypad of the keyboard. In other words, in the arrangement of numbers on the numeric keypad of the keyboard, the buttons [1], [2], and [3] are placed on the buttons in the first row as in the keypad of the telephone, and the buttons [4], [5] on the buttons in the second row. , [6] button, and three rows of buttons [7], [8], [9] button. In addition, you can place the [*] and [#] buttons as you would on a phone keypad.

Through the present invention it is possible to efficiently enter the alphabet on the keypad. By allowing various symbols to be input by the hidden control processing method, a simple keypad can be maintained.

In addition, a simple code can be generated by using the correspondence between alphabets and numbers arranged on the keypad, and a simple input method can be realized through this simple code. You can enter all of them.

With a relay server that interprets simple codes, the user enters the simple code even if the tertiary server needs a phrase other than the simple code, and stores the simple code and the phrase corresponding to the simple code on the tertiary server side. Even if it is not done, it is possible for the relay server to interpret the simple code input from the user and deliver the phrase corresponding to the simple code to the tertiary server side.
