Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described specific details for the practice of the invention.

1 is a block diagram of a terminal 100 according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the terminal 100 of the present invention basically includes a keyboard 110, a keyboard information database 120, a function key information database 130, a phone number database 140, and a display unit 150. , A converter 160, a communication module 170, and the like.

Hereinafter, the components will be described in detail.

The keyboard 110 is shown in FIG. 2A (Hangul, which is the essence of the Samsung electronic terminal 100), FIG. 2B (EZ Hangul of the LG electronic terminal 100), and FIG. 2C (Sky Hangul of the SKY terminal 100). Then, a button 112 with numbers or special symbols and Hangul characters written together, a text message transmission button 114, a phone number search button 116, a call request button 118 is provided.

The button 112 in which the number or the special symbol and the Hangul characters are written together is a button corresponding to the numbers 1 to 9, *, and #, respectively. As in the Korean language of (100), "·" and the like may be written together. On the other hand, the button described with the special symbols may be written in Korean letters or "·" or not.

Accordingly, the general terminal 100 can input a number or a combination of numbers and special symbols in a number input mode or a number and special symbol input mode with a single keyboard 110, and can input Korean characters in a Korean input mode. It is configured to be.

Staging formats of numbers, Korean characters, and special symbols of the terminal 100 are different from each other according to Korean input methods such as Korean, EZ Korean, Sky Korean, and the like.

The number or special symbol of each button of the keyboard 110 of the terminal 100 and staging information of Korean characters are constructed in the keyboard information database 120.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2D, the keyboard information database 120 includes the number 1 of the keyboard 110 when the mobile terminal 100 is an SPH-9000 model of the terminal 100 of Samsung Electronics. Since the Korean character of "1" is written on the button and the number 5 of the keyboard 110 has "B" and "ㄹ" on the button, when the number "5" is pressed once, it becomes "ㄴ" and the number "5". Press twice to show the information that becomes "ㄹ".

According to the keyboard information database 120 as described above, in the case of the SPH-9000 model which is the terminal 100 of Samsung Electronics, it can be seen that "521101721" in the numeric input mode corresponds to "naver" in the Korean input mode.

Meanwhile, the text message transmission button 114, the phone number search button 116, and the call request button 118 may be provided as a new button that did not exist in the existing terminal 100, and define the existing button as a new function. Can be used.

Here, the new function refers to operating one of a text message transmission button, a phone number search button, and a call request button when the existing button, for example, the number 1 button is continuously pressed for a predetermined time or continuously pressed.

On the other hand, the function key database has a list of function keys for inputting a unique function that can be used on the terminal 100 using a number or a combination of numbers and special symbols.

The function key refers to a key for a unique function on a terminal and an additional service function provided by a mobile communication company.

The unique function on the terminal refers to, for example, "storage number + #" used for a speed dial. On the other hand, the additional service function provided by the mobile carrier is, for example, "* 23 #" inserted in front of the telephone number so that the caller does not display the calling number to the called party, "* 77" for making a two-number call to the other party. "* 24" or the like for setting prohibition.

The function key may be stored in a function key database and used to check whether a range of the function keys of the conversion unit 160 is exceeded.

The function key may further include a wink (WINC). The wink is a mobile address jointly provided by the Korea Internet Information Center (KRNIC) and three mobile communication companies to access the Internet content by a simple number instead of the uniform resource locator (URL) of the complex Internet content.

That is, the number 110 or the combination of numbers and special symbols inputted by the keyboard 110 may overlap with the wink, and thus winks corresponding to a plurality of Internet contents may be further constructed in the function key database.

On the other hand, the telephone number database 140 is a list of telephone numbers that can be sent from the terminal 100, and the telephone numbers that can be used are a minimum start prefix (digit) that can be used as a telephone number and a plurality of previously stored by the user. Contains the telephone number of the called party.

The minimum start prefix (digit) is, for example, 01, which is a common minimum start prefix when calling a mobile phone number 010, 016, 017, etc., an area code 02, 031, 054, etc., a start number of an international call. It may consist of 00, which is the minimum start prefix when making an outgoing call to 001, 007, etc., and 15, which is the minimum start prefix for providing various additional services.

On the other hand, the display unit 150 is composed of LCD, etc. to the user in real time to display the input status of the numerals, Hangul characters, special symbols of the keyboard (110).

On the other hand, the conversion unit 160 checks whether the number input by the keyboard 110, or the combination of numbers and special symbols exceeds the range of the telephone numbers or function keys on the terminal 100.

For example, if the user inputs up to " 01 ", a phone number starting with 010 and 011 may exist, and thus, it is determined that the user can not exceed the range of the callable phone number. However, since the telephone number starting with "01 #" does not exist at the moment of additionally inputting "#" to "01", it is determined that it has exceeded the range of telephone numbers that can be sent.

Herein, the conversion unit 160 operates whenever a number or a special symbol is newly input to the keyboard 110. For example, if a user presses "1" on the keyboard 110, a telephone number starting with "1" exists as "1588-xxxx", and the user presses the "1" button and the call request button to "1". Since it is possible to make a call to the number of the terminal 100 stored in the above, it is determined that "1" does not exceed the range of the outgoing telephone number and function key.

Subsequently, the conversion unit 160 adds " 1 " followed by "# " to the keyboard 110, and the phone starts with " 1 # " Although the number does not exist, for example, in the terminal 100 of Sky, if the user inputs a call button after inputting "1 #", the number of the terminal 100 stored in "1" may be dialed. Determines that the range of outgoing telephone numbers and function keys does not exceed.

Subsequently, the conversion unit 160 adds " 1 " followed by " 1 " to the keyboard 110, and the number " 1 # 1 " Since there is no starting phone number and no function key starts with "1 # 1", it is determined that the range of the telephone number and function key that can be sent is exceeded.

Accordingly, the conversion unit 160 converts a number already input or a combination of numbers and special symbols into Korean characters using the staging information constructed in the keyboard information database 120.

That is, as shown in Figure 2c, "a" and "ㅋ" are written in the "1" button of the Sky mobile phone IM-S110K model having the input method of "Sky Hangul", "#" button " TT "and" ㅠ "are written together. Accordingly, the conversion unit 160 converts "1 # 1" into "station".

Here, the conversion unit 160 shows "1 # 1" for a while on the display unit 150 of the terminal 100 when converting to "station" of "1 # 1", and the number and special through a separate pop-up menu. The user can be informed whether or not the Hangul conversion of the characters can be converted to "station". On the other hand, the conversion unit 160 may immediately convert to "station" without immediately showing "1 # 1" as the user inputs "1 #" and additionally enters "1".

Subsequently, the converting unit 160 automatically converts the number input mode or the number and special symbol input mode into the Korean input mode after converting the number or a combination of numbers and special symbols into Korean characters. When a new Hangul character, for example, "Se-cheong" is added to the Hangul character already converted into Hangul by the conversion unit 160, the Hangul character of "National Tax Service" is completed.

In the above description, an embodiment in which the conversion unit 160 automatically operates whenever a number or a special symbol is newly input to the keyboard 110 is described above. Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the conversion unit 160 receives and operates a separate number / Hangul conversion button is described.

For example, referring to FIG. 2C, in the case of the sky terminal 100, when the user inputs all of “1 # 17762 ** 60” into the keyboard 110 and inputs a designated number / Hangul conversion button, the conversion unit 160. The number and the special symbol already input is converted into the Hangul character "IRS" using the staging information built in the keyboard information database 120. After converting the numbers and special symbols into Hangul characters, the number and special symbols input mode is automatically converted into the Hangul input mode so that new Hangul characters may be additionally input to the Hangul characters already converted into Hangul.

On the other hand, the communication module 170 is connected to a wired or wireless switching center using a wired or wireless communication network, and transmits a call connection request signal for a caller's called party to the switching station.

The present invention of such a configuration is provided with a button with a number or a special symbol and the Hangul characters in parallel with the same button in the number input mode, the number and the special symbol input mode to switch between the number input mode, number and special symbol input mode This can be applied to all possible terminals.
