Abstract

The present invention relates to a message input method of a mobile communication terminal. In particular, when a user sends a short or long message by registering a specific boilerplate and an identification phrase corresponding thereto and converting the inputted phrase into a corresponding boilerplate, The goal is to make input faster. The present invention for this purpose is to check whether the consonants are continuously input in the state that the short message service is set, and if the consonants are continuously input if the search for the boilerplate corresponding to the consecutive input consonants in the database, and If the boilerplate corresponding to the continuous input consonants exist in the database, the step of converting the continuous input consonants into the corresponding boilerplate and displaying the constitution.

Description

How to input message from mobile terminal {MESSAGE INPUT METHOD FOR MOBILE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL}

The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly, to a message input method.

The mobile communication terminal provides a voice call service for connecting a call according to a call request and response between a caller and a receiver through a mobile communication system.

In addition, with the development of digital technology, mobile communication terminals are provided with various data communication services as well as voice call services. As a representative technology of data communication, a short message service (SMS) for transmitting and receiving text information in a mobile communication terminal is provided. Short Message Service) is also provided.

Therefore, in the case of using the short message service, a character mode corresponding to a character to be input is selected in a character input mode using a keypad of the mobile communication terminal, and a message to be written is selected by selecting a key of the character.

After completing the message, the message is transmitted to the terminal of the desired counterpart by pressing the transmit key on the keypad.

However, in the related art, when composing a short or long message, inconvenience caused by repeated key selection is accompanied, and there is a problem that the amount of messages that can be input for a predetermined time may be limited.

For example, in the case of the character input method of heaven and earth, when the user wants to input 'ㅑ', the user presses the 'l' key and then ' 'Because the key needs to be pressed twice, a total of three key presses are required, which gives the user an inconvenience due to repeated key presses.

Accordingly, the present invention registers a specific boilerplate and a corresponding phrase (consonant) so that the user can write a Hangul input more quickly when sending a short or long message to improve the conventional problems, and if the specific phrase is inputted The purpose of the present invention is to provide a message input method of a mobile communication terminal, which is invented to convert the data into input.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes the steps of registering a specific boilerplate and an identification phrase corresponding thereto in a database, and if the phrase is input in the message input mode, checking whether the boilerplate corresponding to the phrase is registered. In the case that the boilerplate corresponding to the input phrase is registered, characterized in that configured to perform the step of converting the input phrase into the corresponding boilerplate.

The identification phrase is characterized in that the consonants successively input.

If it is confirmed that the boilerplate registration of the same identifier as the identifier previously registered in the boilerplate registration step, and whether to change the current identifier to register.

If a plurality of identifiers corresponding to the continuous input consonants are identified in the message input process, the method includes displaying a plurality of boilerplate words corresponding to the identifiers in advance, and displaying a boilerplate of user selection among a plurality of boilerplate words. It features.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a case of inputting a Hangul message in a short message service will be described.

1 is an operation flowchart showing a message input process according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in this step, checking whether consonants are continuously inputted in a short message service set, and if the consonants are continuously inputted Searching whether the boilerplate text corresponding to the input consonant exists in the database; and converting the consonant input continuously into the corresponding boilerplate if the boilerplate text corresponding to the consecutively input consonants exists in the database.

Referring to the operation and effect of the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

First, a user registers frequently used words or phrases in the boilerplate database. To this end, the mobile communication terminal is equipped with a boilerplate registration function.

For example, when storing "I love you" in the boilerplate database, it is registered to match the identifier "ㅅㄹㅎ", and in the case of "hello" it is registered to match the identifier "ㅇㄴ ㅎㅅㅇ".

When it is determined that the registered word or phrase is required to be registered in the boilerplate database, it can be registered at any time by setting the boilerplate registration mode.

Subsequently, in the case of using the short message service, if the user presses a key on the keypad to input a word or sentence, it is checked whether consonants are continuously input.

At this time, if consonants are continuously input, the consonants are compared with the identifier of the boilerplate registered in the boilerplate database.

Accordingly, when an identifier corresponding to the consecutively input consonants exists in the boilerplate database, the consecutively input consonants are converted into the corresponding boilerplate and displayed on the screen. In this case, the time to convert the continuous consonant input into the corresponding boilerplate is the instant when the input consonant and the boilerplate identifier coincide.

For example, if a user writes a text message and enters "ㅅㄹㅎ", the user will automatically convert "I love you" for the consecutive consonants entered if "I love you" is registered for the "ㅅㄹㅎ" in the boilerplate database. Will be.

In other words, when the above description is briefly described, when the phrase "Let's do well" and the identifier "ㅈㅈㅅ" are registered in the boilerplate database, if a user inputs only "ㅈㅈㅅ" continuously in the text message input process, it is registered in the boilerplate database. Convert it to "Good night" and display it on the screen.

If the user inputs consonants consecutively and there is a boilerplate corresponding to the contiguous consonants currently inputted, if the consonants are input without successive vowels even when the phone is converted to the corresponding boilerplate, the last consonant not combined with the vowels Is converted into a corresponding boilerplate by comparing with an identifier registered in the boilerplate database.

On the other hand, when the user inputs consonants consecutively for inputting the boilerplate in the above, the user may be configured to display the boilerplate words corresponding to the consonants currently input consecutively using a note window or the like so that the user can input the consonants. .

In addition, the same identifier may be registered when registering the boilerplate in the present invention.

In this case, the boilerplate may be configured to change the identifier, or the user may select the boilerplate if a plurality of boilerplates are registered for the same identifier and the consonants consecutively input during the text message input match the identifiers for the boilerplate. It can be configured to display by using a message window.

As described in detail above, the present invention registers frequently used words / phrases in advance and inputs identification phrases corresponding to the registered words / phrases in the message input process, thereby converting the words / phrases into the corresponding words / phrases, thereby providing convenience to the user. It is effective to provide.
