Character input device of mobile terminal and its input method {INPUT DEVICE OF CHARACTER FOR MOBILEPHONE AND THE METHOD THEREOF}

The present invention relates to a character input device of a mobile terminal and an input method thereof. In particular, a character input device of a mobile terminal and an input method thereof capable of inputting Korean characters more conveniently by applying a navigation or joystick type direction key to the mobile terminal. It is about.

In general, a mobile communication system sends a call message containing a unique number of a mobile terminal called through a call channel of a base station to call a mobile terminal, and then receives a response from the specified mobile terminal. It is a system to make a call.

In addition, as the mobile terminal adopts a digital method, data communication is enabled, and such data communication is used to provide various services such as Korean character service.

Accordingly, the mobile terminal user may execute various operations such as storing the Hangul information in the mobile terminal or transmitting the Hangul document by e-mail.

In order to input the characters required for data communication, mobile terminals are given letters that are assigned to each keypad in addition to numbers to keypads for entering numbers, as in conventional telephones. There are letters, etc., so the user can express almost anything.

The character input keyboard of the mobile terminal has been developed a lot. In general, the structure consists of 12 buttons with the proper combination of numbers and letters. The keypad has a certain shape all the time, and varies in manufacturing companies in character input methods, and requires additional learning for character input required by a consumer.

1 is a view showing a character input device on a keypad of a mobile terminal according to the prior art. As shown in the drawing, the mobile terminal according to the related art is divided into the display 110 and the keypad 120.

The Hangul characters displayed on the keypad 120 of the mobile terminal are composed of letters, mothers, and bearings differently from the alphabets.

Each of the numeric keys 0 to 9 of the keypad 120 of the mobile terminal uses a plurality of Hangul characters / vowels. Accordingly, when the user of the mobile terminal inputs Hangul characters, after finding the key position on the keypad of the Hangul characters to be input in the character input mode of the terminal (for example, the 'edit' mode of 'convenient function'), Select and enter a number key (0 to 9) several times according to the arrangement order of the consonants.

For example, to enter "Ssangmun-dong", the user must enter numeric keys in the following order:

First, the "pair" character presses the number 4 key (4) three times, then presses the number two key (2) twice, and then presses the number zero key (0) once. Then, press # on the keypad to enter the next letter.

Subsequently, the "letter" presses the number 5 key 5 once, then presses the number 6 key 6 twice, and then presses the number 2 key 2 once. Then press # on the keypad to enter the next letter.

Subsequently, the "dong" character presses the number 3 key (3) once, then presses the number seven key twice, and then presses the number zero key (0) once.

Such conventional Hangul character input method may be somewhat different depending on the arrangement of the keyboard according to the terminal manufacturer, but according to the Hangul alphabet / mo arrangement of the keypad, find the Hangul to be input from the number plate, Numeric keys (0 to 9) were selected and entered.

Therefore, there is no big problem in inputting a simple name or giving, etc., but in order to write a relatively long Hangul sentence such as sending an e-mail, a very large number of keys have to be manipulated. Therefore, there is a strong demand for a technology for inputting Hangul characters more conveniently from the user's point of view.
