Abstract
The present invention relates to a character input processing method for a small (4x3 key or 2x6 key or less) electronic device such as a position tracker (GPS) or a mobile phone, and sets a center point (+) at the center of the input keyboard (usually key 5). The basic function is to give the calling function of the vowel, and to display the vowel as the consonant and the vowel combination of the center point and the vowel key by placing the consonant and the basic vowel in consonants and parallel to the surrounding keys. It also provides various character input processing methods that can effectively represent basic characters including English characters even in reduced keyboards by rearrangement of letters, letters and code characters, expansion of center stroke additional functions, and virtual folder type letters management.
Description
This paper provides a method for effectively inputting basic characters of multi-national characters such as English characters through proper rearrangement of input characters, expansion of key functions, and improved keyboard operation in keyboards for small electronic devices such as mobile phones and location trackers (GPS).
The typical keyboard system currently used is English alphabet, and 26 alphabets are grouped into 2 to 4 groups in order and placed in 9 or 10 keys in order to make it difficult to grasp the material of the letters, and it takes a lot of time to master. In addition, the number of hits is allocated to high frequency letters, which reduces work efficiency. The need for simpler and more convenient small keyboards is recognized, but at present it does not meet many of the many demands on them.
In the present invention, through the combination of various electronic signals in the keys of the small keyboard and between the keys, the basic type sets the center key (point) for vowel call, consonant arrangement for the center key peripheral keys, and sequential ordering according to a predetermined order. This is done through consonant notation, overlapping of consonants and vowels. In addition, it is an effective alternative to the basic type, and provides various reduced keyboards, which are implemented through proper letter repositioning, expansion of the center point function, folding letter management, and readjustment of the operation process for keyboards of 4x3 or 2x6 keys or less.
This proposal improves the speed and convenience of character input in basic and reduced forms. Such advantages are realized by arranging consonants and vowels in parallel, prioritizing consonants with high frequency of use, centralized placement of vowels centered on the central key (point), and processing within two strokes. In particular, the reduced type uses the base letter as a virtual folder and allocates the subsequent letter to each of them.
This proposal minimizes atmospheric disturbances between input characters, effectively allowing continuous input, saving typing, and efficiently processing input even in compressed keyboards to meet the needs of small keyboards in many ways.
As a method adopted in this book, consonants and vowels are arranged in parallel, consonants prioritized with high frequency of use, center key (point) use, centralized placement around center key (point), and processing within 2 strokes. The details related to the basic type and the reduced type keyboard, such as saving the use area of the keyboard by use and simultaneous key function of adjacent keys, will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
1A is a nine-key basic drawing. The basic consonants (QZ, BC C , DF, GHJ, + KL, MN N , PR, STV, WX) are arranged in sequence from
Contrary to the center point stroke, the vowel call in the basic type 1A and the reduced type 1B may be treated as the center point futa. In this case, it is necessary to construct a system that displays two consonants in a lap and processes the second key to replace the second consonant with a desired vowel. In a comparative example, assuming that <&> is a basic time, <+> is a center point, and a number is a key number, a combination of
1A and 1B, the central key selection or futa system can be constructed so that three letter lines or two letters can be overlapped and selected on the same key.
In one key, three elements (BCD) on the top line and three elements (AEI) on the bottom line are arranged in pairs. In addition to the center point, each of the bottom line elements is represented. For example, <C + = E> is represented by a path such as <BB + = C + = E> and <D + = I> is <BBB + = D + = I>. As a selection method, <+ C = E> is represented by <+ BB = E> and <+ D = I> is represented by <+ BBB = I>.
In this format of basic drawings and other reduced-size drawings, the Roman alphabet notation method of the national languages may be applied, and the base letters may be rearranged according to the characteristics of the corresponding national notation to display the national languages.
The following describes the Japanese roman display with the basic type 1a. Place <PBF>, <CJZ>, <SX>, <KGQ>, <+>, <TD>, <NM>, <H / NG>, and <RL> on
The keyboard is used in Chinese as a center point futa method. In consideration of the features of Chinese notation, the letter may be rearranged in the form of FIG. 1A. Displaying <NG> with two
The keyboard is also applied to the romanization of Hangul. Since Hangul is a phonetic letter notation, the letters corresponding to Roman letters can be replaced. In the form of FIG. 1A, the Hangul alphabet corresponding to the Roman characters may be rearranged as it is, and Korean characters may be displayed by applying a center point pre-hooter method.
1B is an eight-key reduced view. The
Figure 2a is a seven-key reduced vowel split view. Rearrange the center point and base letter, that is, the input elements (PBJ, A, FMX, I, +, O, S) to each of the
Hangul in this reduced form is as follows. First, the basic consonants <ㅂㅈㅅ>, <ㄴㄱㄷ>, and <ㅇ> are placed on
Consonants (basic consonants in parentheses) appear in the following order: <(ㅂ) ㅃ, (ㅈ) ㅎ ㅉ, (ㅅ) ㅎㅆ>, <(ㄴ) ㄹㅁ, (ㄱ) ㅋ ㄲ, (ㄷ) ㅌ ㄸ> After the basic consonants are displayed, the center point is added by sequential sequential expression. Consonants <ㅇ> are expressed in the same way as basic consonants.
In the second key, the first stroke represents <ㅣ> and the second stroke represents <ㅡ>. In the following vowel combination, 26 = ㅏ, 266 = ㅑ, 42 = ㅓ, 442 = ㅕ, 62 = ㅗ, 662 = ㅛ, 24 =, 244 = ㅛ, 2 = ㅣ, 22 = ㅡ, 265 = ㅐ, 2665 = ㅒ, 425 = ㅔ, 4425 = ㅖ, 625 = ㅚ, 245 = ㅟ, 25 = (ㅐ), 225 = ㅢ, 626 = ㅘ, 242 = ㅝ, 6265 = ㅙ, 2425 = ㅞ do. If the word <Hangul> is indicated by the key number in the above order, it becomes 111 (M) 5 (ㅎ) / 26 (ㅏ) / 3 (b) / 33 (a) 22 (ㅡ) 35 (ㄹ). The above is the description regarding the 7-key type vowel separation type keyboard operation.

The four keys in this figure can be used as they are, or by adding a secondary key (+) to the key 6 to form five keys (No. 5 and 6) and can be reconfigured to a Display-Touch type system. These two keys are screen and key common. To illustrate the operation, the initial divider is displayed first and the subsequent divider is displayed on the center key and subkeys in the calling order. (a) The center key and subkeys are selected at random, and (b) The letter shown on the key will be displayed in the same place, replacing the basic letter displayed on the main screen when selected, and the center key in the order of subsequent dividend of the notation letter. It is displayed again on the secondary key. (c) continue to display the selected letter on the subscreen in place of the basic letter displayed on the main screen, and (d) simultaneously display the remaining subsequent divider letters on the

You can arrange the letter to 3 keys differently. In this case, the input elements PBMJ, + A, and SFOX are rearranged sequentially to the
In this case, the simultaneous hit refers to the necessary character by batting the primary key and the adjacent key within a certain time. The basic time in the bone is 1/4 second, which is different from the basic time in the actual batter, for example, 1/8 second. Typing the primary and adjacent keys separately within 1/8 second is not physically easy, but can be done experimentally with simultaneous strokes. Therefore, the differentiated time for successive strokes between the primary key and the adjacent key can be satisfied if it is set within 1/8 second.
In the above example, <P> is the first stroke of
The basic time of the rudder can be set within 1/4 second. At normal input speeds, it is quick to hit the primary and adjacent keys in less than a quarter of a second. Therefore, if the simultaneous stroke is made within the basic time, the desired result value is displayed. If the adjacent kita enters after the basic time, the character originally assigned to the adjacent key is displayed. For example, if P + // + P <1/4 sec, <J> is met, if 1/4 sec = <P + // + P, <R> will be displayed according to the subsequent dividend order in the virtual folder. do. This solution is not a problem for normal speed input, but continuous typing of heterogeneous keys at the maximum possible speed can result in unwanted simultaneous strokes.
