Description

Method for input of Hangul in a mobile station}

The present invention relates to a Hangul input method of a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly, to a Hangul input method of a mobile communication terminal having a jog dial in the terminal and that can easily search and input Hangul consonants and vowels by the jog dial. will be.

Hangul is based on the unification of Korean spelling, the initial consonants a, b, c, d, d, k, k, k, k, k, k, k, k, k, k, k, k, k, k, k, k ㅉ, neutral ㅏ, ㅑ, ㅓ, ㅕ, ㅗ, ㅛ, ㅜ, ㅠ, ㅡ, ㅣ, ㅐ, ㅒ, ㅚ, ㅟ, ㅓ, ㅘ, ㅝ, ㅙ, ㅞ, finality a, b, c, d, ㅁ, ㅂ, ㅅ, ㅇ, ,, ,, ㅋ, ㅌ, ,, ㅎ, ㄲ, ㅉ, ㄳ, ㄵ, ㄶ, ㄺ, ㄻ, ㄼ, ㄽ, ㄾ, ㄿ, ㅀ, ㅯ, ㅄ have.

The theoretical number of letters that can be formed by combining initial, neutral, and final is 11,172 (19 × 21 × 28) characters. However, the actual number of characters commonly used is about 2,500 characters, and in the case of commonly used completed codes or combined codes, 1800 to 1900 characters can be expressed in Korean. The existing code system assigns ㄲ, ㄸ, ㅃ, ㅆ, ㅉ and ㅑ, ㅕ, ㅛ, ㅠ, ㅒ, ㅖ, ㅔ, ㅐ when inputting from the keyboard.

In order to display the Hangul as a complete Hangul using the keys of the terminal, about 12 numeric keys (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0, *, # provided in the terminal) ) To input corresponding to each vowel and consonant.

Recently, the liquid crystal display (LCD) of the terminal is installed in many sizes in the main body, and data services such as the Internet, short message service (mail), and mail are available. It becomes important.

The Korean input device of such a general terminal, as shown in FIG. 1, is connected to the central processor 1 for controlling the system of the personal mobile communication terminal, the central processor 1, and the screen switching key and the numeric key and A key input unit 2 composed of a plurality of keys such as an input completion key to allow a user to input a key value, connected to the central processor 1 and the key input unit 2, and processed by the central processor 1 It is composed of a screen display unit (3) for displaying the result, and displays the key value input from the key input unit (2), and a memory (4) connected with the central processor (1) to embed a Korean font.

In the general personal mobile communication terminal configured as described above, when the user inputs a number or Korean through the key input unit 2, the central processor 1 processes the input key value, and displays the input number as it is on the screen. The Hangul is searched for the key value input using the Hangul font embedded in the memory (4), and the screen is displayed through the screen display unit (3) by converting the Hangul combination code to the Hangul completion code according to the Hangul input internal automata by the Hangul input key. Mark it.

2 is a diagram illustrating a key matrix as a first embodiment for showing a Korean input method of a conventional terminal.

First, look at the phonemes assigned to each of the numeric keys: 'ㄱ, ㄴ' for the 1st key, 'ㄷ, ㄹ, ㅋ' for the 2nd key, 'ㅁ, ㅂ, ㅌ' for the 3rd key, and 'ㅅ, ㅇ for the 4th key. ',', 'Key', 'key', 'key', 'key', 'key' and 'key', key '7,' 'key', 'key', key '8', key '9,' There is a structure in which 'ㅣ, ㅖ', etc. are arranged in 'TT, ㅠ, 0' 0 key, and * key supports Korean English conversion and capitalization, and # key is input between character strings.

In addition, the keys 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 0 have consonants and vowels assigned to one key each of three consonants, corresponding to the number of presses of a specific key. As the input is changed, the user finds and inputs the required phonemes.

If you use these keys to complete the Hangul "for example" in a row, you need the following keystrokes:

"Yes" is completed by continuous input of number keys 4, 4, 0, 0 and #.

"" Is completed by continuous input of number keys 2, 2, 8, 2, 2 and #.

"S" is completed by successive input of numeric keys 2 and 8 and 2, 2 and #.

"Side" is completed by successive input of numeric keys 3, 7, and 7, and 7, and 1, 1 and #. The completed string "for example" would require a total of 23 keystrokes.

However, as shown in the diagram of FIG. 2, since almost three keys are assigned to almost every letter, it is difficult for a user to remember the keyboard, and the number of times that a user must press a key when typing the phoneme naturally increases. As a result, the input time is long.

3 is a diagram illustrating a second embodiment of a Korean input method of a conventional terminal, and shows a key matrix of the terminal.

First, look at the phonemes assigned to the numeric keys in the key matrix. ', The 3rd key is'ㅡ', the 4th key is' ㄱ, ㅋ ', the 5th key is' b, ㄹ', the 6th key is' ㄷ, ㅌ ', the 7th key is' ㅂ, ㄷ', and the 8th key is' ㅅ ''ㅎ','9' key on the '0' key '0, ㅁ' and so on, * key supports Korean and English alphabets, and # key is entered between the letters.

Here, the vowels are combined using 'ㅣ', '·', 'ㅡ' arranged on the 1, 2, and 3 keys. That is, the combination of 'ㅏ' and '·' into a continuous input of 'ㅏ' and the combination of 'ㅣ' and '·' and '·' into a 'ㅑ' and the '·' And 'ㅣ' as a continuous input of 'ㅓ', the input input of '·', '·' and 'ㅣ' as a combination of 'ㅕ', the '·' and '-' Combination into 'ㅗ' as the normal input, Combination into 'ㅛ' as the continuous input of '·', '·' and 'ㅡ', 'TT' as the continuous input of 'ㅡ' and '·' Are combined, and '?' And '·' and '·' are continuously combined as 'ㅠ'.

When the string "for example" is completed using the numeric keys of FIG. 2, the following key input is required.

"Yes" is completed with the numeric keys 0 and 2 and 2 and 1 and 1.

"B" is completed with the numeric keys 5 and 5 and 3 and 5 and 5,

"S" is completed with numeric keys 6 and 3 and 5 and 5,

The "side" is completed with the numeric keys 0, 0, 2, 2, 1, and 5. The completed string "for example" would require a total of 20 keystrokes.

However, the Korean input method described with reference to the example of FIG. 2 has a simple vowel input method, which is good to be remembered. However, since the vowel must be repeated several times, selected, and combined, the user has to press more keys. . In addition, even a user who uses frequently has a problem that it is difficult to shorten the input time.

Therefore, in the related art, the scientific system of the initial, neutral, and final characters of Hangul is adapted to the English system to express the desired letter only by repeatedly pressing and selecting keys that the user does not recognize, and which do not greatly improve the characteristics of the initial, neutral, and final characters. Could. In addition, the user is inconvenient to use, there is a problem that can not be easily learned.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, the terminal having a jog dial which is a rotational Hangul consonant and vowel input means to search and input consonants and vowels, so that the user can easily input Hangul. Its purpose is to provide Korean input method.
