Description

Remote control input method Korean keyboard

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 has a few keys including up, down, left, and right keys 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 up, down, left, and right keys of the remote controller to move the cursor on the Hangul keyboard and inputs the characters where the cursor is located by operating an 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 positioned on the "a" key on the Korean keyboard, use the top, bottom, left, right, right, down, left and right keys five times to enter "ㅎ" of "H" in "Hangul". Press the key 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). To input “ㅏ” of “Hangul”, use the up, down, left, and right 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 up, down, left, and right 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 confirmation key is pressed, "one" is displayed on the screen (1).

In order to input the "a" in the "Korean" of "Hangul", move the cursor located "b" to the left by one operation by operating the up, down, left, and right 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 be operated up, down, left, and right keys of the remote control several times even when one character is inputted. 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.

21: cursor movement key

In order to achieve the above object, a remote control input method Korean keyboard according to the present invention comprises: a Jamo key separated into a consonant key block and a vowel key block, cursor movement means for moving a cursor between the consonant key block and the vowel key block; And up and down, left and right keys for moving the cursor up, down, left, and right to select a desired left key, 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 Korean keyboard of the remote control input method of FIG. 2 has a function of separating the consonant key and the vowel key and minimizing the number of key manipulations of the remote controller and automatically moving the cursor between the consonant key and the vowel key. And two cursor movement keys (11, 21) for manually moving the cursor from the consonant key block (10) to the vowel key block (20) or from the vowel key block (20) to the consonant key block (10). .

Referring to FIG. 2, there is a screen 1 for displaying letters entered at the top. Under this screen 1, consonant keys are arranged in order on the left, and vowel keys are arranged in order on the right. In the center, function keys, up, down, left, and right keys are arranged.

Consonant keys are arranged in the first row with the keys "ㄱ", "b", "c", "ㄹ", "ㅁ", and in the second row "ㅂ", "ㅅ", "≫" (11) , "ㅇ" and "ㅈ" keys are arranged. The third line contains the keys "ㅊ", "ㅋ", "ㅌ", "ㄷ", "ㅎ", and the fourth line contains the keys "ㄲ", "ㄸ", "ㅃ", "ㅆ", and "ㅉ". Is arranged.

Between the consonant key block 10 and the vowel key block 20, that is, the "English" key for inputting English and the "SPACE" key for up and down, up, down, left and right keys, punctuation keys are arranged in the center. have.

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 vowel key block 20 when the vowel is input again. The key provided in the example. 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. 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 movement key 11 of the consonant key block 10 is arbitrarily selected to indicate the direction of movement of the cursor to the "rightward direction". Likewise, 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 " "

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 the case of inputting “Hangul” by operating a remote controller as an example.

When the cursor is positioned on the cursor right movement key (11) of the Hangul keyboard by initializing the Hangul keyboard, the cursor on the Hangul keyboard is moved to the left by operating the up, down, left, and right keys of the remote control to input the "H" of the "Han" of the "Hangul". Move 2 spaces down one space. You can also move the cursor down one space and two spaces to the left.

When the cursor is placed on the "ㅎ" key, the "ㅎ" key is highlighted to inform the user that the cursor is currently located on the "ㅎ" key. Next, when the user presses an input confirmation key on the remote control, "ㅎ" is displayed on the screen 1, and the cursor moves to the cursor left movement key 21 of the right vowel key block 20. Since the cursor is now located at the cursor left move key 21, the cursor left move key 21 is highlighted.

Next, the cursor is moved two spaces left, one space up or one space up, and two spaces left to input the "one" vowel "ㅏ" of "Hangul". The cursor is then located at the "ㅏ" key and the "ㅏ" key is highlighted. When the input confirmation key on the remote controller is pressed, "lower" is displayed on the screen 1, and the cursor is automatically positioned on the cursor right shift key 11 of the consonant key block 10 on the left side.

To input "H" in "Hangul", use the up, down, left, and right keys on the remote control to move the cursor on the Hangul keyboard one space to the left, one space to the top or one space to the left, and one space to the right. The cursor is then located at the "b" key, and the "b" key is highlighted. When the input confirmation key on the remote controller is pressed, "one" is displayed on the screen 1, and the cursor automatically moves to the cursor left key 21 of the right vowel key block 20.

The current cursor is located at the cursor left movement key 21 of the vowel key block 20. In this state, in order to input the "a" key of the "English" of "Hangul", the cursor should be located on the consonant key block 10. Pressing the input confirmation key of the remote control while the cursor is located on the cursor left shift key 21 of the vowel key block 20 moves the cursor to the cursor right shift key 11 of the consonant key block. Then use the up, down, left, and right keys on the remote control to move the cursor 2 spaces left, 1 space up or 1 space up, and 2 spaces left. The cursor is then located at the "a" key and the "a" key is highlighted. When the input confirmation key of the remote controller is pressed, “one a” is displayed on the screen (1). The remaining "Hangul" of "Wul" "o" and "ㄹ" is also entered in the same way.

As seen above, the Korean keyboard automatically moves the cursor between the consonant key block 10 and the vowel key block 20, so there is no need to move the cursor far from the consonant key to the vowel key as in the prior art. The number of operations decreases.

As described above, the remote control input method Korean keyboard according to the present invention has an advantage of reducing the number of key operations of the remote control compared to the prior art. Therefore, not only can the Hangul input speed be increased, but also the power consumption is reduced due to the reduced number of key operations of the remote controller. Due to the reduced power consumption, the batteries used as the power source for the remote control can be used for a long time. Using the remote control input method Hangul keyboard according to the present invention can reduce the trouble of not only the general public but also 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.
