Description

Remote control input method Korean keyboard and key arrangement method

The present invention relates to a Hangul keyboard (字 한글) for inputting Hangul using a remote controller (Remocon), and more particularly, to a Hangul keyboard that minimizes the number of key operations of the remote controller during Hangul input.

In general, a remote controller input method has several keys including an arrow key and an input confirmation key, and a cursor is placed on the keyboard. The location of the cursor is highlighted to inform the user of the location of the cursor. In the remote control input method Korean keyboard, the user operates the arrow keys of the remote controller to move the cursor on the Korean keyboard and inputs the characters where the cursor is located by operating the input confirmation key on the remote controller. Specifically, a conventional remote control input method Korean keyboard will be described with reference to FIG.

Referring to Fig. 1, the uppermost rectangle is a screen 1 on which a sentence input by a user is displayed, and a Hangul Jamo key (字 이 -key) is arranged below this screen (1). Just below the screen (1), that is, the first line of the Hangul keyboard, the keys "ㄱ", "ㄴ", "ㄷ", "ㄹ", "ㅁ", "ㅂ", "ㅅ", and "ㅇ" In the second row, the keys "j", "j", "k", "k", "k", "h", "k", and "k" are arranged. Next, the third row contains the "ㅃ", "ㅆ", "ㅉ", "ㅏ", "ㅑ", "ㅓ", "ㅕ", and "ㅗ" keys, and the fourth row contains the "행" "," TT "," ㅠ "," ㅡ "," ㅣ "," ㅐ "," ㅔ "," ㅒ "keys are arranged. In the fifth line, punctuation marks such as "ㅖ", "%", and "#" are arranged, and below it, "English" key for entering English letters and "SPACE" key for offsetting. . As shown in FIG. 1, the consonant keys are arranged in order according to the Hangul alphabetical order of Hangul, and after the consonant arrangement is completed, the vowel keys are arranged in order according to the Hangul alphabetical order of Hangul.

When there is a Korean keyboard as described above, a procedure of inputting letters by operating a remote controller will be described. In order to help understanding, a case of inputting "Hangul" using a remote control as a specific example will be described.

Assuming that the Korean keyboard is initialized and the cursor is located on the "a" key on the Korean keyboard, use the right arrow key five times and the down arrow key to enter the "H" of "H" in "Hangul". Press once to place the cursor on the keyboard. This highlights the "ㅎ" key on the Korean keyboard where the cursor is located. Next, when the input confirmation key of the remote control is pressed, "ㅎ" is displayed on the screen (1). In order to input "H" in "Hangul", use the arrow keys on the remote control to move the cursor on the Korean keyboard two spaces to the left and one space below. Alternatively, the cursor may be moved down one space and two spaces to the left. This moves the cursor from the previous "ㅎ" key to the "ㅏ" key. When the cursor is positioned at the "ㅏ" key by the key operation of the remote controller, the "ㅏ" key of the Korean keyboard is highlighted, and in this state, when the user presses the input confirmation key of the remote controller, "down" is displayed on the screen (1). Next, in order to input "H" of "Han" of "Hangul", you need to move the cursor from the "ㅏ" key to the "b" key. Use the arrow keys on the remote control to move the cursor up 2 spaces, 2 spaces left or 2 spaces left, and 2 spaces up. Place the cursor on the "b" key and the "b" key will be highlighted. When the key is pressed, "one" is displayed on the screen (1).

In order to input the "a" of "Hang" of "Hangul", move the cursor located "b" to the left by using the arrow keys of the remote control. Then, "a" on the Korean keyboard is highlighted, and "one a" is displayed on the screen (1) when the input confirmation key on the remote controller is pressed. In the same way, enter "ㅡ" and "ㄹ" in the "Hangul" of the "Hangul".

As described above, the conventional remote control input method Korean keyboard has to operate the arrow keys of the remote controller several times even if one character is to be input. Therefore, there is a problem that the speed of inputting a sentence is very slow. In addition, there is a problem in that the operation of the remote control has to be operated many times, and the power consumption of the remote control is high due to frequent operation of the remote control. Therefore, there is an inconvenience of frequently replacing the battery used as the power source of the remote control.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a Korean keyboard that can minimize the number of key operations of a remote controller when inputting Korean using a remote controller.

* Description of the symbols for the main parts of the drawings *

1: Screen 10: Consonant key block

11: cursor movement key 20: vowel key block

21: cursor movement key

In order to achieve the above object, the Korean character keyboard of the remote control input method according to the present invention is arranged in the order of high frequency of use, a Jamo key divided into a consonant key block and a vowel key block, and a cursor with the consonant key block and the vowel key block. Cursor movement means for moving between, and up, down, left and right keys for moving the cursor up, down, left, and right to select the desired letter, and an input confirmation key for inputting the selected letter.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiment of FIG. 2. The embodiment of Figure 2 is configured to separate the consonant key and the vowel key, and to move the cursor automatically between the consonant key and the vowel key in order to minimize the number of key operations of the remote control. In addition, it is equipped with two cursor movement keys for manually moving the cursor from the consonant key block to the vowel key block or from the vowel key block to the consonant key block. Minimize the number of operation of the arrow keys.

Referring to FIG. 2, a screen 1 for displaying a character input by a user is located at the top of the screen. A consonant key is arranged below the screen 1, and a vowel key is arranged on the right side. In the center below the screen 1, function keys and arrow keys are arranged.

The consonant key on the left is arranged with the keys "ㅋ", "ㄴ", "ㄷ", "ㄹ", "키" on the first line, and the "vo", "ㄱ", "" ", "ㅁ", "p" keys are arranged. The third line contains the keys "ㅈ", "ㅇ", "ㅅ", "ㅂ", "ㅎ", and the fourth line contains the "ㄲ", "ㄸ", "ㅃ", "ㅆ", and "ㅉ" keys. Is arranged.

In the first vowel key, "ㅕ", "ㅗ", "ㅛ" and "ㅡ" keys are arranged in the first row, and the "ㅓ", "≪", "ㅏ" and "-> are arranged in the second row. "The keys are arranged. In the third row, the keys "ㅠ", "TT", "ㅑ" and "ㅣ" are arranged. In the fourth row, the keys "ㅐ", "ㅒ", "ㅔ" and "," are arranged.

Between the consonant key block 10 on the left side and the vowel key block 20 on the right side, that is, in the center, an "English" key for inputting the English letter and a "confirmation" key for inputting the selected letter and an input character for erasing the input letter "◀" and "▶" are arranged as the "SPACE" key and the arrow keys to move the cursor when the "CLEAR" key is displayed between letters.

As shown in Fig. 2, the Hangul alphabet is divided into a consonant key on the left side and a vowel key on the right side. Therefore, it is easy to find the zamo key that the user wants to input. In addition, after inputting the consonant key has a function to automatically move the cursor to the vowel key block 20, and after entering the vowel key automatically moves the cursor to the consonant key block 10.

Hangeul is composed of Choseong, Neutral, and Jongsung. Consonants become primary and final, and vowels are used as neutrals. Vowels are usually followed by consonants. Therefore, in this embodiment, focusing on the vowel coming after the consonant, it is configured to have a function of automatically moving the cursor to the vowel key block 20 after inputting the consonant key to facilitate the input of the vowel key. . In addition, after inputting the vowel, it is configured to have a function of automatically moving the cursor to the consonant key block 10.

On the other hand, the second row third column of the left consonant key block 10 has a ">>" key (11). This " " key 11 is a cursor right shift key, which is used to manually move the cursor from the consonant key block 10 to the right vowel key block 20 when the vowel is input again. The key provided in the present embodiment. As described above, when the vowel key is input, the cursor is automatically moved to the consonant key block 10. Therefore, to input the vowel key after inputting the vowel key, the cursor must be moved to the vowel key block 20. The key for performing this function is the cursor right shift key 11.

In the second row and third column of the right vowel key block 20, there is a " " The " " key 21 is a key for moving the cursor left, which is a key provided in the present embodiment for the purpose of convenience when inputting consonants again after inputting consonants. The cursor left shift key 21 also performs a similar function to the cursor right shift key 11. When the consonant key is input, the cursor is automatically moved to the vowel key block 20. Therefore, when the consonant key is input again after inputting the consonant key, the cursor key moves to the vowel key block 20 by operating the cursor left shift key 21. To move the cursor back to the consonant key block 10 on the left side. The part that moves the cursor automatically between blocks can be considered when designing the circuit of Korean keyboard or writing a program.

In this embodiment, the cursor right movement key 11 of the consonant key block 10 and the cursor left movement key 21 of the vowel key block 20 become the starting point of the cursor when the cursor moves between blocks. That is, when the consonant key is input, the cursor moves to the cursor left key 21 of the vowel key block 20 automatically. When the vowel key is input, the cursor automatically moves to the cursor right movement key 11 of the vowel key block 10. The cursor moves. However, it is also possible to place the cursor on a key previously input when the cursor is automatically moved without following the present embodiment. In this configuration, the cursor right shift key 11 and the cursor left shift key 21 are not necessarily located in the consonant key block 10 and the vowel key block 20.

In this embodiment, the cursor right moving key 11 is disposed about the middle of the consonant key block 10 for the purpose of minimizing the number of key operations of the remote controller. That is, although the cursor right movement key 11 is arranged in the third column of the second row of the consonant key block 10, it is also possible to arrange the cursor right movement key 11 in the last column of the last row without following this embodiment. In this arrangement, the distance of the cursor should be carefully considered. Cursor left movement key 21 of the vowel key block 20 is also arranged in the middle of the vowel key block 20 for the purpose of minimizing the number of key operations of the remote control vowel key block 20 as in the present embodiment You don't have to place it in the third column of the second row of).

In addition, the ">>" shape of the cursor right moving key 11 of the consonant key block 10 means a moving direction of the cursor, and is arbitrarily selected to indicate the "rightward direction". Similarly, the " " shape of the cursor left moving key 21 of the vowel key block 20 is arbitrarily selected to indicate the meaning "in the left direction". Therefore, without following the present embodiment, " " can be replaced by " "or "-" or the like, and " " can be replaced by " "

Next, as shown in FIG. 2, a Zamo key having a high frequency of use is arranged around the cursor movement keys 11 and 21. In this embodiment, the "a", "b", "c", "r", "ㅁ", "ㅂ", "ㅅ", "ㅇ" key and the like "이", "ㄸ", "ㅉ", The consonant keys are arranged as shown in Fig. 2 because the frequency of use is higher than that of the "ㅋ" key. However, depending on the environment using the Hangul keyboard, consonant keys with high frequency of use may be different. Therefore, when the consonant keys having a high frequency of use are different, the keys arranged around the cursor right moving key 11 may also be different. In other words, since the key arrangement of FIG. 2 is to reduce the number of manipulations of the keys of the remote controller, it is not necessary to follow the same frequency-use key arrangement as in the present embodiment as long as these purposes are satisfied.

In addition, in this embodiment, the consonant keys having a high frequency of use are arranged around the cursor right movement key 11, but are arranged in a clockwise direction without being randomly arranged. That is, the "a" key is placed to the left of the cursor right shift key 11, the "b" key above the "a" key, the "b" key to the right of the "b" key, and the "c" key. The key is placed clockwise in the order of the "d" key on the right side of the key and the "ㅁ" key under the "d" key.

The purpose of arranging the consonant keys as described above is another inconvenience of finding the location of the consonant keys when arranged in a disordered manner. Therefore, the consonant keys are arranged so that the user can easily infer the position of the consonant keys. will be. Therefore, similarly to the present embodiment, the consonant keys can be arranged counterclockwise without arranging the consonant keys clockwise around the cursor right shift key 11.

Next, the vowel key has the "ㅏ" key on the right side, the "ㅓ" key on the left side, and the "ㅗ" on the upper side of the cursor row moving key 21 on the second line of the second line of the vowel key block 20. "Key" is arranged at the bottom of the "TT" key. The arrangement of the vowel keys is also arranged around the moving key 21 to the left of the cursor. As described above with regard to the arrangement of the consonant keys, the arrangement of the vowel keys having a high frequency of use may vary according to the environment using the Hangul keyboard. Therefore, similarly to the present embodiment, it is also possible to arrange the vowel keys differently around the cursor shift key 21.

The operation of the Hangul keyboard according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, when the Korean keyboard is initialized, the cursor is positioned on the cursor right shift key 11 of the consonant key block 10. (30) If the cursor is positioned on the cursor right shift key 11 according to the initialization, the cursor right shift key 11 is displayed. Is highlighted. Next, check whether the key where the cursor is located is the desired letter. (Step 40) If the key where the cursor is located is not the desired letter, move the cursor to the desired letter by operating the up, down, left, and right keys of the remote controller. Step 100) When the cursor is located on the desired letter as a result of the operation of the up, down, left, and right keys of the remote controller, the input confirmation key is operated to input the letter. (Step 50) Meanwhile, the Hangul input program operates according to the initialization of the Hangul keyboard. The input confirmation key is operated to determine whether the input character is the end key. (60) If the determination result is the end key, the Hangul input program is terminated, and if not, the next input character is input to the consonant key block 10. If the input character is located in the consonant key block 10, the cursor moves to the cursor left key 21 of the vowel key block 20 (step 80). Not Yiwu moves the cursor right moving key 11, the cursor of the consonant key block 10 (step 90) and waits for a key input again. The Hangul input program terminates the Hangul input or moves the cursor to the cursor right move key 11 of the consonant key block 10 or the cursor left move key 21 of the vowel key block 20 according to the input characters as described above. Do the work. When the cursor is on the cursor left movement key 21 or the cursor right movement key 11, the user operates the up, down, left and right keys on the remote control again (step 100) to move the cursor to the desired character, and when the cursor is located at the desired character, The process of inputting Hangul is repeated by operating the input confirmation key (step 50).

More specifically, the operation of the Hangul keyboard according to the present embodiment will be described by taking an example of inputting “Hangul” similar to the related art by operating a remote controller as an example.

When the Hangul keyboard is initialized, the cursor is positioned on the cursor right shift key 11 on the Hangul keyboard. Use the arrow keys on the remote control to input the "H" in the "Han" of the "Hangul" and move the cursor on the Hangul keyboard 2 spaces left, 1 space down or 1 space down and 2 spaces left. The cursor is then located at the "ㅎ" key and the "ㅎ" key is highlighted. When the input confirmation key on the remote controller is pressed, "ㅎ" is displayed on the screen 1, and the cursor automatically moves to the cursor left movement key 21 of the vowel key block 20. The cursor left moving key 21 where the cursor is located is highlighted.

Next, the cursor is moved one space to the left by operating the arrow keys on the remote control to input the "H" vowel "ㅏ" of "Hangul". The cursor is then positioned at the "ㅏ" key of the vowel key block 20 and the "ㅏ" key is highlighted. When the user presses an input confirmation key on the remote controller, "lower" is displayed on the screen 1, and the cursor automatically moves to the cursor right shift key 11 of the consonant key block 10. FIG.

Next, the cursor located on the cursor right movement key 11 is moved one space to the left and one space to the left by operating the arrow keys on the remote control to input the "b" of "one" of "Korean". "B" where the cursor is located is highlighted, and "one" is displayed on the screen 1 when the input confirmation key on the remote controller is pressed. The cursor is automatically moved to the shift key 21 to the cursor left of the vowel key block 20.

Next, the cursor must be located on the consonant key block 10 in order to input the "a" of the "word" of the "Korean". Since the current cursor is located at the cursor left movement key 21 of the vowel key block 20, the input confirmation key on the remote controller is pressed to move the cursor to the consonant key block 10. Then, the cursor moves back to the cursor right movement key 11 of the consonant key block 10. Move the cursor one space to the left by operating the arrow keys on the remote control to enter the "b" in the "W". Then, the "a" key where the cursor is located is highlighted, and when the input confirmation key is pressed, "one a" is displayed on the screen (1). The remaining "W", "ㅡ" and "ㄹ" is also entered in the same way.

In the case of inputting "h" of "one", the arrow keys of the remote controller need to be operated six times, and in the present embodiment, the arrow keys of the remote controller have to be operated three times. In the case of inputting "one" of "one", conventionally, remote control operation has been required three times, but in the case of the present embodiment, one time. In addition, when inputting "b" of "one", conventionally, the remote control operation was required four times, and the present embodiment also required two times.

As a result of the comparison, the Hangul keyboard according to the present embodiment has reduced the number of key operations of the remote controller by seven times. Although only the comparison of one letter "one" has been made, the number of operations of the remote controller is surely reduced when one sentence of tens of letters is input.

As described above, the remote control input method Hangul keyboard according to the present invention has the advantage of reducing the number of key operations of the remote control as compared to the conventional one, which can not only increase the input speed of Korean but also reduce the power consumption by reducing the number of key operations of the remote control. . The remote control input method Korean keyboard according to the present invention can reduce the trouble of the handicapped or the elderly. In addition, this remote control input method Korean keyboard can be applied to all Korean keyboards. Especially, it is very effective when applied to the keyboard of computer for the disabled.
