The present invention relates to a method of inputting a sentence in a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly, to a method of importing and inserting a sentence stored in a hotkey form using a shortcut number when necessary.

In modern society, communication terminals are used by many people as long-distance communication means, and in particular, mobile terminals are widely used as necessities for modern people because they can conveniently communicate on the go without regard to place. Recently, as the performance of the processor is improved and the resources of the memory are increased, the mobile communication terminal provides various functions as well as the conventional mobile communication service.

Accordingly, recently, a mobile communication terminal is frequently used as a means of writing a text message to convey a user's intention or using a text memo function to record an important matter without using a memo paper or the like.

1 is a view for explaining a method for creating a sentence in a conventional mobile communication terminal.

As shown in FIG. 1, a user may select a sentence writing mode in order to create a text message and a text memo in a mobile communication terminal. A user may create a predetermined sentence and store the written sentence in a database of the terminal for repeatedly using the written sentence, and may recall a specific sentence from time to time while editing the sentence. That is, in the sentence creation mode, the sentence list input to the database through the schedule menu may be checked (110), a sentence to be input may be selected from the sentence list, and the sentence may be input (120). In this way, by importing the stored sentences and entering the sentences it is easier to enter the sentences.

However, since the procedure of selecting a menu of a specific sentence list while writing a sentence is made by the operation of the keypad, it takes a long time to select. In addition, when a large number of sentences are input to the sentence list, it is necessary to turn over the pages of many lists, so it may take longer to find a desired sentence than to directly write the sentence. Therefore, the conventional service for providing a stored sentence list has been very limited in use to users, and has a problem in that its practicality is poor.

The present invention has been made to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, an object of the present invention is to provide a mobile communication terminal for inputting a desired sentence by inputting a specific number corresponding to the sentence.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a sentence editing method using a shortcut number to form a hotkey group using numbers corresponding to the initial character of a character in a mobile communication terminal and to call a desired sentence by inputting the hotkey group.

The mobile communication terminal according to the present invention for achieving the object of the present invention as described above and to solve the above problems of the prior art, the sentence editing unit for processing at least one application for sentence editing; A sentence storage processor for matching the shortcut numbers corresponding to the consonants included in the syllables of a certain length forming the edited sentence into a hotkey group for calling the sentence, and storing the sentence for each hotkey group in a database; And switching to a mode for searching the database according to a predetermined key input during sentence editing through the at least one application, and retrieving the sentence from the database according to the input of any one hotkey group stored in the database in the switched mode. And a control unit for loading and inserting the edited sentence.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of editing a character using a shortcut number in a mobile communication terminal, the shortcut numbers corresponding to the first consonants included in syllables of a certain length forming a sentence to be edited. Matching a sentence with a hotkey group for retrieving a sentence and storing the sentence for each hotkey group in a database; Switching to a mode for searching the database according to a predetermined key input during sentence editing; And retrieving a corresponding sentence from the database according to an input of any one hotkey group stored in the database in the switched mode and inserting the sentence into the edited sentence.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and the contents described in the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited or limited to the embodiments. Like reference numerals in the drawings denote like elements.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the mobile communication terminal 200 according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

2 is a block diagram illustrating a mobile communication terminal 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the mobile communication terminal 200 includes a sentence editing unit 210, a sentence storage processing unit 220, a database 215, a control unit 230, an input unit 240, an output unit 250, and a wireless unit. It includes a transceiver 260.

The mobile terminal 200 forms a hotkey group with numbers corresponding to a specific sentence that can be used in various applications for editing a sentence, and edits a sentence according to an input of the hotkey group in at least one application. It is proposed to be able to input the desired sentence in.

To this end, the mobile communication terminal 200 according to the present invention matches the shortcut numbers corresponding to the consonants included in the syllables of a certain length constituting the edited sentence with a hotkey group for calling up the sentence, while creating the sentence. The sentence for each hotkey group is stored in the database 215. At this time, the mode is switched to the search mode of the database 215 according to a predetermined key input during the sentence editing. In addition, according to the input of any one hotkey group stored in the database 215 in the switched mode, a corresponding sentence is retrieved from the database 215 and inserted into the edited sentence. As such, the mobile communication terminal 200 may form a hotkey group with a number corresponding to a specific sentence and input a desired sentence using the hotkey group.

The sentence editing unit 210 processes at least one application for sentence editing. The application may correspond to a text message, a memo, and other applications for editing. That is, the sentence editing unit 210 operates when the mobile communication terminal is in a mode for inputting or editing a text such as a text message writing mode or a text memo writing mode.

The sentence storage processor 220 matches the shortcut numbers corresponding to the consonants included in the syllables of a certain length forming the sentence to be edited with a hotkey group for retrieving the sentence, thereby matching the corresponding sentence for each hotkey group with the database 215. ). The database 215 stores and manages the at least one sentence. The consonants of each syllable in the stored sentence may be matched with shortcut numbers, and each shortcut number may be stored in the form of a hotkey group. In addition, as the database 215, a non-volatile DRAM (NV) DRAM, a NAND memory, and the like, which implements the fast write capability of the RAM and the inactive function of the flash memory, may be used in one DRAM.

In addition, the sentence storage processor 220 operates when the sentence is added to the sentence storage box through a certain menu. In addition, the sentence storage processor 220 may operate during sentence editing through the at least one application. For example, when writing a text message or writing a text memo, the stored data can be recalled whenever an application program or the like is executed that allows access to the database 215 so that text can be written. do. An example related to this will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.

3 is an example in which a sentence is called by a shortcut number in the mobile communication terminal 200 of FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a keypad used in the mobile communication terminal 200 of FIG. 2.

As shown in (310) of Figure 3, when the user tries to enter the sentence 'hello' in the mobile communication terminal 200 inputs the consonants ('ㅇ ㅎ ㅅ ㅇ') of the sentence to be input. The initial consonants may be displayed by sequentially inputting 0, 5, 0, 7, 0 using the numeric keys on the keypad of FIG. 4. That is, as the numbers are input, each of the above consonants of the sentence may be input, and when the above five consonants are gathered, the sentence 'hello' may be automatically completed as shown in (320) of FIG. 3. At this time, the above 'Hello' sentence is not generated by only the consonants such as 'ㅇ' (0). Because the word corresponding to 'ㅇ' (safety, transfer, etc.) can exist innumerably, it can be used only when the user specifically designates it.

As a result, hotkeys for retrieving the sentence can be determined based on the consonants included in at least two syllables, so as to minimize the occurrence of duplicate words. . In addition, such a sentence for each hotkey group is set to consist of at least two syllables, so that a sentence corresponding to the input of the first consonants can be generated so that sentences of a predetermined length or more can be used corresponding to the first consonants. do. In addition, the corresponding sentences for each hotkey group may include at least one of numbers, pictograms, symbols, punctuation marks, foreign characters, or emoticons, and may include all characters, pictures, and the like, which are not limited to Korean. have. In addition, when inputting the hotkey group, a space is recognized so that each sentence can be further divided and distinguished and confusion can be reduced. For example, the sentence 'Daddy is in the room' (ㅇ ㅃ ㄱ (blank) ㅂ ㅇ ...) and 'Daddy's bag ...' (ㅇ ㅃ ㄱ ㅂ ㅇ ...) should be distinguished. Because it is a sentence, it can be separated by a space.

The controller 230 is in charge of the overall control of each component of the mobile communication terminal 200, and in particular, in the present invention, the database 215 is inputted according to input of a schedule hotkey or the like during sentence editing through the at least one application. In the switched mode, the sentence is retrieved from the database according to the input of any one hotkey group stored in the database and inserted into the edited sentence. In addition, the controller 230 may provide a menu for displaying and selecting all of the corresponding sentences when a plurality of sentences correspond to the hotkey group. For example, if you enter 'ㅅ ㄱ ㅈ ㅅ ㅇ' (7, 1, *, 7, 0), the sentences 'please give me' and 'time please' may correspond. Therefore, in this case, it is possible to increase the user's convenience by allowing the user to select. In addition, after inputting '(7, 1, *, 7, 0)', mutually distinguishing input may be performed by additionally inputting numeric keys for each sentence such as 1, 2, and 3.

In addition, the controller 230 typically includes a processor function for processing all data on a communication terminal associated with a modem DSP (Digital Signal Processor). As more DSPs are provided to process internal signals, such as baseband signals, the operation of each mode may be faster due to the higher processing speed. As the controller 230, a mobile station modem (MSM), a digital signal processor (DSP), an open multimedia application platform (OMAP), or the like may be used.

In addition, when a sentence is repeatedly used while writing a text message or the like, the user may easily store the sentence in the database 215 by operating when adding a sentence to the sentence storage box through a certain menu. do.

In this case, in order to allow a user to easily input a sentence, applications for editing may allow the sentence storage processor 220 to operate even during sentence editing. The applications for editing may correspond to text messages, memos, and other applications for editing.

Next, when a certain hotkey group is input while editing a sentence, the database 215 is switched to a search mode (S520). Accordingly, the sentence is retrieved from the database according to the input (S530) of any one hotkey group stored in the database 215 in the switched mode and inserted into the sentence being edited (S540). In this case, the hotkey group used to retrieve a sentence may be determined based on the consonants included in at least two syllables. The range of use may be expanded by including at least one of numbers, pictograms, symbols, punctuation marks, foreign characters or emoticons in the corresponding sentences for each group. In addition, if a plurality of sentences correspond to one hotkey group, the controller 230 provides a menu for displaying and selecting all of the corresponding sentences so that the sentences can be input according to a user's selection. Therefore, when a long sentence is written or a repetitive sentence is written using the mobile communication terminal 200, the sentence can be input quickly and conveniently.
