KEYBOARD HAVING KEY-BUTTONS SWITCHING BETWEEN KOREAN / ENGLISH}

The present invention relates to a keyboard having separate Korean and English toggle key buttons.

More specifically, Korean and English key buttons are separated and arranged on the keyboard, so that the characters are displayed in the character output mode requested by the user regardless of the character output mode set by default at the initial character input. A keyboard having separate Korean and English toggle key buttons for display.

As the spread of computers has been expanded due to the development of electronic technology, computers have been used regardless of time and place at work, school and home.

The computer system is composed of a main body coupled with a card for performing various functions, display means for displaying information, input means for inputting commands, and output means for outputting work results.

The main body, the display means and the output means are means which are not manipulated by the user, and the input means is a means by which the user can manually input a command, and a keyboard and a mouse are typical. Among them, the keyboard is provided with a plurality of keys for inputting various functions such as numbers and letters.

The keyboard has 101 keys, 103 keys, 106 keys, etc., depending on the number of keys, 103 keys are 101 keys, Chinese characters key and Korean / English conversion key is further included, 106 keys are assigned the function of Windows 95 version One more key is installed.

The common feature of the keyboard is that it is configured to selectively input at least two characters on one key. For example, the "g" button allows the user to selectively enter the English 'g' and the Korean 'ㅎ'.

That is, the control means provided in the computer system sets the current mode to the default text output mode when the user turns on the computer. Therefore, when the current mode is the English output mode, all characters displayed on the screen of the display means through the keyboard become English characters.

Therefore, when the user wants to output Korean, the user should select the 'Korean / English' key button on the keyboard to change the current English output mode to Korean output mode. At this time, if you select 'Korean / English' key button again, the current Korean output mode will be changed back to English output mode.

Since the character output mode of the computer system cannot be easily recognized unless the user has a special interest, the user inputs a desired word using a keyboard after executing a desired word program.

Therefore, when the character input mode that the user thinks does not match the character output mode of the computer system, an unstable form that the user does not want is displayed on the screen, so the user outputs an unstable form that the user does not want on the screen. After deleting, use the Korean / English key button to change the current text output mode.

In addition, when the user makes an online connection to the Internet for searching, a web page of a predetermined Internet site which is defaulted to the computer system is output on the screen of the display means. The web page has a search box, and when the user inputs a keyword related to the content to be searched in the search box and presses a search button, the user can be provided with a web page having desired information. At this time, the search word input by the user is output on the screen in Korean or English according to the text output mode which is defaulted on the initial web page.

Therefore, when searching the Internet, as in the general word program, if the character input mode that the user thinks and the character output mode of the computer system do not match, the user may be unstable on the screen because an unstable type of character is not displayed on the screen. After deleting the output characters in the form, using the Korean / English key buttons, the current text output mode was changed, and then a hassle of inputting again occurred.

Therefore, the present invention was devised to solve the inconvenience of the prior art as described above, and the object of the present invention is that the Korean and English key buttons are separated and arranged on the keyboard so that the character output mode is set as a default at the initial character input. It is to provide a keyboard having a separate Korean and English switch key button to be fixed to the character output mode requested by the user so that the character of the desired form is displayed on the screen.

In addition, the object of the present invention is to separate the Korean and English conversion to be displayed on the screen by converting the character type is input in another input mode if the character suitable for the current input mode after the initial character input mode is performed It is to provide a keyboard having a key button.

Then, the operation of the keyboard having a separate Korean and English switch key button consisting of the above configuration will be described in detail.

Typically, the scan code value output unit 40 scans a key button on the keyboard and outputs a scan code value when a specific key button is pressed by the user. Then, the control unit 50 receives the scan code value, compares it with the scan code value stored in the storage unit 10, reads the unique code values (ASCII, KSC5601) stored in match with the matching scan code value. The entire system is controlled to be displayed on the screen of the display unit 70.

Therefore, when the user executes a program capable of inputting predetermined characters, the controller 50 checks the character output mode defaulted to the program. As a result of the check, if the current character output mode is the Korean output mode, when the key button of the keyboard is pressed, the corresponding Korean characters are output on the screen of the display unit 70, and in the English output mode, the English characters are output on the screen of the display unit 70. .

On the other hand, the controller 50 checks whether the Korean-only key button 20 or the English-only key button 30 has been pressed by the user before checking the character output mode defaulted to the program. When the Korean-only key button 20 or the English-only key button 30 is pressed, the controller 50 selects the current character output mode selected by the user regardless of the default character output mode. In this case, only the text form selected by the user is output on the screen of the display unit 70. That is, when the user selects the Korean-only key button 20 when the user needs to input Korean characters while executing a program that requires input of the Internet or text, the controller 50 unconditionally user regardless of the currently set input mode. Characters input by are to be displayed on the screen in Korean format.

In addition, the controller 50 selects the Korean character or the English character when the Korean exclusive key button 20 or the English exclusive key button 30 is selected by the user and the current character input mode is set to the Korean input mode or the English input mode. If you input a character to be input in another input mode other than the current input mode and recognize it as a strange character, the character is converted to another input mode other than the current input mode and the character is displayed on the screen. Be sure to For example, when "ㄹ ㅑ ㄱㄴㅅ" is input by the user while the current input mode is set to the Korean input mode, it is automatically converted to "first" so that normal characters are output on the screen.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, it can be various modifications and changes by those skilled in the art, which is included in the spirit and scope of the present invention defined in the appended claims.

As described above, according to the present invention, regardless of the currently set character output mode of the keyboard, the current character output mode is changed to the Korean output mode or the English output mode and fixed according to the user's operation, so that the character type desired by the user is displayed on the screen. By being displayed at, the user can input a desired character without any consideration of the current character output mode of the keyboard, thereby achieving the effect of improving its convenience.

In addition, the present invention, if a character suitable for the current input mode is not entered after the initial character input mode is performed, it is converted into a character form that is input in another input mode to be output on the screen, so that the user inputs the currently set input mode Even if it is not changed, the mode is automatically changed to achieve an effect that is convenient for the user.
