On the other hand, in such a computer system, in recent years, a keyword used frequently by software provided in the computer system is stored in a keyword table without toggling a character switching key provided in the key input device, and then based on the keyword. To automatically switch between Korean input mode and English input mode. For example, a word processor stores keyword words for spell checking and / or a dictionary function. The word processor converts a Korean word into English or an English word into Korean based on the keyword words.

1 is a simple exemplary diagram of a keyword table for automatically converting a Korean input mode and an English input mode.

In the software having a function of automatically switching between the Korean input mode and the English input mode, and a keyword table as shown in FIG. 1, the word “durrudnj” inputted through the key input device has the same word among the English words. By not doing so, it automatically switches to Hangul, which is disgusting.

In addition, a word input as “ㅐ ㅕㅅ” through the key input device is automatically converted into English as “out” because the word as above does not exist among Korean words.

In addition, the word “Hae-T” entered through the key input device has the word “Hae” among the Korean words, but there is no word “Hae-T” combined with “TT.” Entered later. Is automatically switched.

On the other hand, although the wireless terminal corresponding to the technical field to which the present invention belongs is provided with a character switching key for switching between the Korean input mode and / or the English input mode as described above, the character switching key is, for example, a character such as a short message input.

This is because it is set to generate an outgoing call. According to the ITU-T E.164 standard, a telephone number consists only of numbers between 0 and 9.

However, according to the standard of ITU-T E.164, since the telephone number system is composed of a combination of random numbers, it contains a problem that it is difficult to remember except for a few frequently used telephone numbers.

Therefore, most wireless terminals have a phone number storage space such as an address book in order to overcome the problems of the phone number system conforming to the ITU-T E.164 standard as described above. It is possible to generate an outgoing call to the call terminal.

However, it is inconvenient because the process of extracting the call terminal telephone number for voice call using the address book as described above is inconvenient because it is a menu structure of a tree structure, and a plurality of functions before inputting a search word to search the address book. There is an inconvenience that the key input process must be preceded.

On the other hand, due to the activation of short messages and wireless Internet and / or wireless games using the wireless terminal, most users of the wireless terminal is not inconvenient to input characters through the key input unit of the wireless terminal, rather it is faster and more convenient than the numeric input. It is possible to input.
