In recent years, portable network devices (eg, mobile phones or mobile phones, etc.) are rapidly increasing in popularity and are becoming a necessity for modern people. Such a portable terminal is provided with a function of inputting or transmitting a variety of information as well as a telephone function.

Recently, a short message service (SMS) has been used a lot. To this end, the caller inputs characters such as Korean or English using a plurality of keys formed on the keypad of the portable terminal. In addition, by connecting to the Web (Web) or Wap (WAP) site through the mobile phone to download a variety of information, it is possible to use the Internet between mobile. In addition, due to the remarkable improvement in mobile communication speed and the reduction of data communication rates, the use of the Internet through mobile phones is gradually spreading.

That is, when accessing the corresponding site through the personal authentication by the ID and password, it provides a service for each individual through the connected site. In this case, the ID and password are information that the user first sets and registers to log in to the corresponding site, and the ID is set using a plurality of characters that can represent the user, and the password is used only to maintain security. It will be set to a memorable number or letter.

At this time, a large number of users use a method of inputting Korean characters in the English mode of the keyboard when the ID or password is input. For example, in the case of a 2 beol type keyboard, when the Korean 'Ssamji-gil' is input in the English mode, 'Tkawlrlf' is input in English. If you create an ID or password in this way, not only the meaningless characters are entered to maintain security, but also to remember the meaningless characters as well-known Hangul characters to enter easily without having to memorize easily I can do it.

In other words, since the user uses a random character (eg 'Tkawlrlf') that has no special meaning to others and remembers it as a Korean keyboard, the user can easily use a randomly arranged alphabetic letter without memorizing the ID or password. It is frequently used in the logon process of the Internet in that it can be easily remembered.

Accordingly, even when accessing a web (or swap) site through a mobile phone, the mobile phone must be input by a text input method according to the mobile phone's own keyboard system.

Therefore, a user who sets the ID or password when logging in to the web site access by inputting in Korean in the English mode of the keyboard as described above, when the web site is accessed through the mobile phone, the keyboard system is different. There is considerable difficulty in input. That is, since the user does not memorize that the character in the English mode corresponding to 'Ssamji-gil' input in the Hangul mode is 'Tkawlrlf', the user cannot input the English character as the ID or password.

Therefore, users who set the ID or password in this way is inconvenient to find the computer keyboard keyboard to find the English letters corresponding to the Hangul one by one, and to enter the corresponding English letters through the mobile phone, while moving If you can't find your keyboard, you'll be unable to access the website.

Therefore, the user can select and input a desired character through page switching.

On the other hand, in the above example, the Hangul keyboard system is described as the case of 2 beol-type input, but the present invention can be equally applied to the case of 3 beol-type input. However, there are two cases where the final input method is used in a three beol type keyboard. Therefore, when the user inputs 'None' as the Korean standard in the English mode, two types may appear, such as jfs and jfs1. In addition, even in the case of the same 'b' may be input differently, such as 'k' and 'x' respectively.

In this case, in the case of input through a 3-bulk type keyboard, the initial consonant and the final consonant may be distinguished and input from the above-described mapping table for application of the present invention. For example, the table may be configured to input by distinguishing, such as' [a (second, k)], [a (species, x)] and the like. In addition, even when the finality is expressed in two different forms, it is written as [ㄶ (s)] or [B (s, s), [ㅎ (종, 1)]. The same applies to the case.
