The present invention also relates to a keyboard capable of providing consonants, vowels, and the like, classified according to the sound position of the pronunciation organ, in the same column.

1 is a key arrangement diagram of a keyboard to which the prior art is applied.

Recently, various kinds of information / computers have been miniaturized / simplified, and portability of devices has become one of the important factors to determine the value of the product. Accordingly, various portable information / computing devices are making constant efforts to consolidate many functions in a smaller space.

However, the inconvenience of the user due to the miniaturization and the multifunctionalization is often not considered, and the inconvenience caused by the miniaturization of the keyboard is increasing.

A commonly used keyboard is composed of 26 keys corresponding to 26 letters of the alphabet, numeric keys, and various function keys.

In addition, the keyboard layout mainly uses a QWERTY keyboard layout. Function keys and special character keys, which are not frequently used as the keyboard of the general QWERTY keyboard layout disclosed in FIG. 1, are excluded from the full-size keyboard, and some of them have some inconvenience of input and reduce the size of the keyboard itself. to be.

As described above, in the case of a full-size keyboard used in a conventional personal computer, they are arranged based on alphabetic keys. In addition, the number of keys including function keys increases, and it is inconvenient for the elderly to easily use because they are not arranged according to the general phonological law when the key arrangement of the keyboard when inputting the Hangul according to the alphabetical standard is not known. .

In addition, the conventional full-size keyboard has a difficulty in inputting text for a disabled person who is inconvenient to use both hands since it is about the size of input using both hands.

The present invention has been made in view of the problems of the size and input method according to the key arrangement of the conventional keyboard as described above,

An object of the present invention is to provide a keyboard arranged based on the grammar of the Hangul.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a keyboard that includes a plurality of letters or symbols in one key to contribute to the miniaturization and lightweight of the keyboard.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a keyboard that enables the user to easily execute key input of the keyboard with one hand according to the miniaturization of the keyboard.

The present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings as follows.

2 is a key arrangement diagram of a keyboard to which the technique of the present invention is applied, and FIG. 3 is an overview of the pronunciation apparatus for explaining the key arrangement and input method of the keyboard to which the technique of the present invention is applied.

Prior to the present invention, a classification criterion according to phonological classification according to key arrangement of a keyboard to which the present invention is applied will be briefly described.

Korean phonology is a unit of sound that distinguishes the meaning of words. It consists of 21 vowels and 19 consonants.

The consonant is a sound produced by a disorder of the sounding organ by being pronounced by narrowing a spot in the neck or mouth or barely passing the air, and the vowel is a phonological sound that can be pronounced alone without any disorder of the sounding organ.

The classification criteria of consonants are classified according to the place of sound, method, ringing and speech. In particular, the consonant classification in the keyboard to which the technique of the present invention is applied is classified according to the sounding position of the pronunciation organ, and the consonants classified according to the sounding position are the lip sound (pure sound), the tip of the tongue (vernal sound), and the sensation ceiling sound. It can be classified into (Oral Mouth Sound), Yeorin Palate Sound (Study Sound), and Mokcheong Sound (Humor).

In the consonant classification according to the present invention, the pure sound includes [ㅁ, ㅂ, ㅃ,]] as the sound between the upper lip (2) and the lower lip (3) in the pronunciation organ cross-sectional view of FIG. The New Year's Sound is the sound between the tip of the tongue 12 and the gum 6, including [b, c, k, d, d, k, k, b].

In addition, the oral palate is a sound between the palatal palate (7) and the tongue bottom, which is a rigid part of the palate, and includes [[, ㅉ, ㅊ], and the palatal palate is behind the palate (8) and tongue (12). I include [ㄱ,, ㄲ, ㅇ, ㅋ] as the sound, and the latter includes [ㅎ] as the sound between the vocal cords (10).

In addition, the classification criteria of the vowels are divided into short vowels, double vowels, and half vowels. In particular, phonological classifications in the keyboard to which the technology of the present invention is applied are classified into legend vowels and rear vowels according to the position of the tongue during sounding.

In the vowel classification according to the present invention, the legendary vowel is a vowel in which the highest point of the tongue 12 is in front of the midpoint between the palate (7) and the palate (8) [l, ㅔ, ㅐ, ㅟ, 모음], and the vowel behind the culmination of the tongue 12 includes [ㅡ, ㅓ, ㅏ, TT, ㅗ].

The keyboard key arrangement of the present invention according to the classification criteria of the vowels and consonants will be described with reference to FIG. 3.

The key arrangement for character input of the keyboard of the present invention is configured in such a way that the phonemes belonging to the same group are arranged in the same column according to the vowel and the consonant classification criteria.

That is, the character input portion except for the same portion as the conventional keyboard arrangement is composed of an array of 9x4. In the 9 × 4 arrangement, columns 1 to 5 are composed of consonant group regions 10 according to the present invention, and columns 6 to 8 after the consonant group region 10 are composed of vowel group regions 20. Columns 9, which are rows after the vowel group region 20, are divided into selection key regions 30 for selectively receiving one or more phonemes described in each key.

In particular, in the first column to the fifth column of the consonant group region 10, a special character group region 30 capable of receiving a special character is configured, and the special character key includes at least two special characters in each key. It is configured to include.

The consonant group region 10 is arranged in the order of the left one row is pure sound, the second row is the tongue sound, the third row is the research sound, the fourth row is the rear sound, and the fifth row is the oral sound. More specifically, in column 1, the phonetic ㅂ [ㅃ / ㅃ, ㅁ,]] corresponds to the pure sound, column [[ㄷ / ㄸ, ㄹ, 해당] corresponds to the rhythm, and column 3 corresponds to the research sound [ㄱ / ㄲ, ㄴ, ㅋ], in column 4, [ㅅ / ㅆ, ㅇ, ㅎ] corresponding to the rhythm and the phonogram of the study sound, and 5 / ㅉ, ㅊ for the oral dog sound are arranged in column 5.

The vowel group region 20 is arranged after the consonant group region 10. The key arrangement of 6 to 8 columns in which the vowel group region 20 starts includes [l, ㅔ, ㅐ, ㅚ, ㅟ] corresponding to the vowels according to the vowel classification criteria applied to the present invention. The key in which the legend collection is described further includes [ㅖ, ㅒ] encapsulated in the legend collection.

In addition, column 7 includes [ㅡ, TT, ㅗ, ㅓ, ㅏ] corresponding to the posterior vowel vowel, and column 8 includes the rhythm [ㅠ, ㅛ, ㅕ, ㅑ] which is captured in the posterior vowel described in column 7 above. It is. Similar to the key of the consonant group region, the key of the vowel group region may include at least one or more phonemes in one key, and may be selectively input by a selection key described below.

The special character key area 30 is configured to include at least one special character in each key of the keyboard which has been input through a conventional menu access. In the keyboard applied to the present invention, five special characters are provided in each key corresponding to the first row of the first to fifth columns of the consonant group region 10. Therefore, it can be selectively input by the selection key described below.

The selection key region 40 is arranged in nine columns, which are the columns after the vowel group region 20. The selection key area 40 includes the numbers in the first to fourth rows of nine columns. The number may be a function of selectively selecting a plurality of phonemes or letters into a key of a phonological key or a special character area 30 corresponding to the consonant group area 10 or the vowel group area 20. do. For example, if the input key 'II' is input after the input key 'ㅂ' in the vowel group area, '음', which is a phonology of 'ㅃ', is input.

Alternatively, when the second key including [;, |,),], '] in the special character group area is input and the' IV 'key is selected among the selection keys, the fourth character corresponding to the inputted special character key ']' Is entered.

In addition to the keys arranged according to the Korean phonological classification criteria, it may include the alphabetic phonemes further classified into the keys according to the alphabet phonological classification criteria. The English / Korean conversion can be switched according to a conventional method.

That is, similarly to the arrangement of the Korean phonology, the first to sixth columns may be arranged by being divided into the consonant group region 10a and the seventh and eighth column to the vowel group region 20b. Accordingly, the first column, which is the consonant group region 10a, includes voiced friction sounds [V, Z, Q], the second column includes voiceless friction sounds [F, S, C], and the third column, the voiced burst sounds [B, D, G] is included, and the fourth column contains the silent burst sound [P, T, K], and the fifth column and the sixth column include [M, N, L, R], which are nasal sound and sound.
