Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for inputting Korean alphabet is provided to crossly and continuously input the first consonants and the second consonants of each consonant group by using functional keys. CONSTITUTION: A consonant group includes the first, second, and third consonants. When a user presses each consonant key one time, the first consonants of the corresponding consonant group are inputted, and if the user presses the consonants key two times, the second consonants are inputted, then the third consonants are inputted when the consonant keys are pressed tree times. If the first function key is pressed after inputting one of the consonants included in each consonant group, the first consonants are further inputted. If the second functional key is pressed, the second consonants are further inputted.

Description

Hangul input method {METHOD FOR INPUTTING A HANGEUL}

The present invention relates to a Hangul input method of a mobile phone, an Internet phone, a PDA, etc. In particular, a Hangul input method using a consonant key assigned to at least seven consonant groups, a vowel key assigned to at least three vowel groups, and a function key It is about.

Hereinafter, a conventional Hangul input method will be described with reference to FIG. 4. 4 is a diagram illustrating a consonant arrangement of a heaven and earth manner.

As shown in the figure, the Cheonjiin method assigns the vowels of the vowels “ㅣ, ·, ㅡ” to the three keys to give unique codes, but inputs the keys in the order of writing to calculate the single vowel and double vowel codes, and two or more consonants. And gather them together in one key to calculate the consonant codes in the transition family.

In order to input consonants in this manner, a predetermined key needs to be repeatedly pressed several times.

For example, when the numeric key "4" is pressed once, the consonant "a" is input, and when it is pressed twice, the consonant "ㅋ" is input, and when pressed three times, the consonant "ㄲ" is input.

Therefore, in order to input consonants (ㄲ) allocated to three times only by the method of inputting different consonants according to the number of pressing as described above, unnecessary strokes are added in order from the allotted consonants (a) Character input time becomes long.

Furthermore, in the character input, when the last letter of the first letter and the first letter of the latter letter are the same (for example, 'country'), the first letter of 'ga' is entered after 'b' is entered. If you press 'a' consecutively, you can enter the last letter of the first letter because 'ㅋ' is entered ('guka' instead of 'country') instead of the first letter 'a' of 'ga'. You can enter the first letter of the last letter only after waiting a certain amount of time (about 2 seconds).

If the last letter is different from the last letter (for example, the last letter is 'ㅋ' and the first letter is 'ㄲ'), press the "a" key twice to enter the last letter "ㅋ" After a predetermined time, the character input time becomes longer because the letter “3” must be input again by pressing the key “a” three times in order to eliminate.

In the conventional method, a large number of strokes is required because the corresponding key must be pressed by the number of strokes of a vowel to input a double vowel.

For example, to enter the vowel “ㅒ”, you need to press the “1” key (ㅣ), move the key, press the “2” key (·) twice, and then press the “1” key (ㅣ). Character input time becomes long.

Accordingly, in order to solve the above problem, an object of the present invention is to provide a Korean input method capable of continuously and alternately inputting consonants received in the same consonant group and inputting a vowel using a minimum of vowel keys. It is done.

First, the consonant input method according to the present invention will be described.

Consonant input method

As shown in Fig. 1A, in the consonant input method according to the present invention, the consonant keys " 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 " and the function keys " * and # " Input consonants.

The first consonants assigned to each key (a, b, c, ㅁ, ㅅ, ㅇ, ㅈ) are entered by pressing the corresponding consonant key once, and the second consonants (ㅋ, ㄹ, ㅌ, ㅂ, ㅍ, ㅅ, ㅎ, G) enter the consonant key twice by pressing the third consonant (ㄲ, ㄸ, ㅃ, ㅆ, ㅉ) and enter the consonant key three times.

That is, when the consonant key "4" is pressed once, "a" which is the first consonant is input, when it is pressed twice, "k" which is the second consonant is input, and when it is pressed three times, "ㄲ" which is the third consonant is input.

Preferably, the third consonant may be input by pressing and holding the corresponding consonant key.

In addition to the number-time pressing method, the first consonant and the second consonant may be input using the function keys "* and #".

For example, after entering one consonant (a, ㅋ, ㄲ) assigned to the consonant key `` 4 '' (here, `` a ''), and pressing the function key `` * '', the consonant group ㄱ, ㅋ, The first consonant "i" of viii) is further input. Then, after inputting one consonant (here, "ㅋ") among the consonants assigned to the consonant key "4" and pressing the function key "#", the consonant group (ㄱ, ㅋ, ㄲ) The second consonant ")" is further input.

In addition, by pressing the function keys "* and #" continuously or alternately, the first consonant and the second consonant can be input continuously or alternately.

That is, in order to additionally input the first consonant or the second consonant by using the function key, for example, 'country' means' ㄱ ㅡ · * + * ㅣ · 'or' ㄱ ㅡ · * + * ㅣ · '' 'Lola' can be entered as' ㄴ ㄴ · ㅡ # + # ㅣ · 'or' ㄴ ㄴ · ㅡ ㄴ ㄴ + # ㅣ · ''.

In order to continuously or alternately input the first consonant and the second consonant, for example, 'ㄱㅋㅋ' may be input as 'ㄱ ##', and 'ㄱㅋ ㄱㅋ' is referred to as 'ㄱ # * #'. Can be entered.

In this way, in inputting the final consonant and the consonant, it is not necessary to go back from the first consonant again to input the consonant, so that the input can be continuously performed without waiting time, and the first consonant and the second consonant can be continuously or crossed. It can be input by the user, which can reduce the character input time.

Preferably, after the first consonant or the second consonant is input by using the function key "* or #" during character input, the initial mode is set to allow input from the first consonant according to the number of times the consonant key is pressed. .

That is, in inputting a consonant, a method of sequentially inputting the first consonant according to the number of pressing times, and a method of inputting the first consonant or the second consonant using a function key may be used together.

The principle of the consonant input method is illustrated in FIG. 1B.

As shown in the figure, the consonant input method according to the present invention inputs the consonant according to the number of pressing times (1, 2, 3 times) or by using the function keys "*, #". You can enter more than two consonants consecutively and alternately.

Furthermore, when one consonant among the consonants included in the predetermined consonant group is inputted, the consonant group is maintained, so that even if the vowel is input during consonant input, the first consonant or the first consonant using the function key is not required. You can enter two consonants consecutively or alternately.

Here, the function keys "*, #" will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that, for example, various function keys may be used.

Next, a vowel input method according to the present invention will be described.

<Collection input method>

FIG. 2A illustrates a vowel input method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2B illustrates a vowel that can be combined with the vowel input method shown in FIG. 2A.

As shown in FIG. 2A, in the vowel input method of the present invention, “ㅣ, ·, ㅡ” is used as the first vowel, and when the corresponding key is pressed twice to input a double vowel including the first vowel, ㅐ, ..., ㅚ "are input, and when pressed three times," ㅔ "and" ㅟ "are input, respectively.

Preferably, the third vowel can be input by pressing and holding the corresponding vowel key.

In addition, the vowels ㅣ, ㅏ, ㅑ, ㅓ, ㅕ, ㅗ, ㅛ, TT, ㅠ, ㅡ, ㅢ are inputted by pressing the first vowel in writing order. 3 Press the vowel key '·' once while entering the vowel (ㅔ, ㅟ) to input (입력, ㅘ) and (,, ㅝ), respectively. I) is entered.

Preferably, after the vowel is input using the vowel keys “ㅣ, ·, ㅡ” during character input, the first consonant can be input from the first consonant according to the number of presses of the consonant keys, as in the case of using the function key. The initial mode is set.

A vowel combination method that can be input by the vowel key described above is illustrated in FIG. 2B.

As shown in the figure, the number of strokes in inputting the vowel vowel can be reduced compared to the conventional method.

For example, in the Cheonjiin method, to input the vowel “ㅒ”, press the number key “1” (collection “ㅣ”), then press the number key “2” (collection “·”) twice, and the number key “1”. In the present invention, the vowel key ㅣ is pressed twice, and the vowel key · is pressed once. It can also reduce the likelihood of typos.

The state in which the consonants described above are arranged together is illustrated in FIGS. 3A and 3B.

As shown in the figure, the vowel keys may be arranged on the numeric keys "1, 2, 3" or on the numeric keys "3, 6, 9".

Those skilled in the art will understand that the Hangul input method using the consonant key and function key according to the present invention can be applied to any device capable of text input, such as an Internet phone, a PDA, as well as a mobile phone.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to continuously and alternately input consonants accommodated in the same key, and to input vowels with a minimum of vowel keys.

In addition, the above-described character input method can be applied to other characters.

While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to the preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that other changes in form and detail of the embodiments described above may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. will be.
