As shown in FIG. 3, the Japanese input device according to the present invention comprises a character input key 1, a third key button 3, a menu key button 4, and an input mode conversion key 5.

Character input key buttons 1 to 9 are displayed with 50 negative 10 characters as shown in FIG. 2E. The character input key button assigns and displays 10 lines of characters to the numeric key (1 to 9) buttons, and sets the character keys as the first key button function and the second key button function. The first key button selects one line of text from the key buttons 1 to 9 to which the letter is assigned, and the second key button is configured to determine and input any one of the specific characters from eight ends of the selected text line.

The third key button 3 is a key button for inputting a character including a desk point or a semi-tack point, and functions to input a note sound including a table sound and a half-track sound character and a desk point and a semi-track point.

The menu key button 4 is a key button for switching a character input mode for inputting Chinese characters and a third character as shown in FIG. 8. The Chinese character input and character message input composing Japanese together with hiragana and katakana. Character input menu table of Chinese character, English uppercase letter, English lowercase letter, numbers, sentence code, special character, and ... which is essential for the display. Two rows of menu tables with numbers corresponding to the numeric key buttons and each input mode. The screen 30 is configured to output to one side.

That is, the controller 10 uses the menu key button 4 as shown in FIG. 8 by the user as shown in FIG. 8 to attach the Chinese character input mode / numeric input mode / English capital letter input mode / If one of the English lowercase input mode / special character input mode / is selected, the selected input mode is provided.

The input mode conversion key 5 is a hiragana / katagana input mode conversion key button that sets the hiragana to a basic input mode, and is configured to alternate between hiragana / katagana input modes each time the conversion key is pressed.

The input mode conversion key 5 is an input mode conversion key button for operating the key buttons corresponding to 1-9 in the hiragana input mode or the katakana input mode. That is, when the user presses the input mode conversion key 5, the control unit 10 determines the current mode to switch to the katakana input mode if the current input mode is the hiragana input mode, and to the hiragana input mode if the katakana input mode is used. Let's do it.

As described above, numbers (1 to 9) among the key buttons of the 3X4 array keypad are assigned by displaying letters, and the third key button / character conversion key button / menu is assigned to the “*” or “0” or “#” key button. Each of the key buttons can be assigned.

2A to 2F are diagrams illustrating a letter key button in which a letter is assigned to a numeric key button in order to include a letter input device in an electronic device using a 3 × 4 key button according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, each of the plurality of letter assignment key buttons is divided into eight letter stages. Matches.

In addition, it is characterized in that it further assigns a cancel instruction character for instructing to cancel the selection of a character line to key buttons other than the eight character stages logically allocated to the above 1 to 9 key buttons.

As can be seen from FIG. 2A, 10 lines of Adan letters are assigned. The number key is あ, や, 2, か, 3, さ, and 4, respectively.た, 5 on な, 6 on は, 7 on ま, 8 on わ, 9 on ら, 0 on menu, 메뉴 * “ ",", "#" Key "Hiragana / Katakana" is assigned to each key.

2A, the vowel "あ" line and the half vowel "や" line are assigned to the number key 1, which is a character of the vowel "あ" line. There is no consonant composition in the column, and the half-vowel “Y” line is composed of three characters: Ya-Yo-Yu, Ya, Yu, and Yo.

3 and 5, the three-characters YX, XY, and XY assigned to the character tables 6, 7, and 8 representing the character stages shown in FIGS. 3 and 5 coincide with the input characters on the second key button. This is because the logical character assignment method can not only unify the input number on the second key button but also save the physical character assignment key button.

On the other hand, if the second vowel line "わ" is assigned to the number key 8, the character table of the character line of the line 8 of the "WA" line is "わ" at first, "ん" at second, and tactile at "3".つ ”, the long sound"-"at No. 4," を "at No. 5, and punctuation marks can be assigned to character tables 6, 7, and 8, respectively.

Then, the second vowel line “WA” and the half vowel “や” line are assigned to the number key 8, and the characters of the second vowel line “わ” are assigned only two characters “わ” and “を”. The letter of the word is composed of three characters, YA, YU, YO, and so on. Assign the long sound ``-'' to No. 4, を を to No. 5, assign `` Y '' to No. 6, ゆ ゆ on No. 7, and `` YO '' on No. 8, respectively. It is configured to allow input.

The key button to which "わ" line is assigned is exclusive (), punctuation (.), Midpoint (-), and question mark (?) To 6, 7, 8, and 9 key buttons of the character group to which logical characters are not assigned. , And more punctuation marks, such as exclamation marks (!).

In this case, "selection" illustrated in FIGS. 3 to 7 corresponds to the first key button described with reference to FIG. 2E, and "input" corresponds to the second key button.

4 and 6 are diagrams showing a character table of two rows and a plurality of columns output to one side of the screen of the display unit 30, wherein the character table is to be input with numbers corresponding to numeric key buttons. Has a two-row, multicolumn structure with one-to-one correspondence. Therefore, when the second key button number key that is the same as the number corresponding to the specific character on the character table is inputted, any one of the specific character of the character table can be input. In addition, the character table may be set not to be outputted on the screen of the display device according to a user's selection.

Also, referring to FIG. 6, when a specific character line is selected by the first key button, a cancel instruction character for canceling the selection of a specific character line may be further included in the character table in correspondence with the number key 9 button for output.

Referring to the key button input function using the input instruction window as shown in Figs. 4 and 7, the first key button is the first of the character buttons (1 to 9) assigned to the character input key button. When the first key button is input as a key button to be pressed, the first key button is switched to the second key button and at the same time outputs an input instruction window (character table), wherein the second key button is a specific character of the input instruction window of the present invention. Functions as a key button to select and enter one.

That is, as shown in FIG. 3, when a line of text displayed on nine key buttons is selected by using a first key button, and a single character is selected by using a second key button, the selected character is input. . Characters corresponding to each stage where the character line selected by the first key button and the input instruction window as shown in FIG. 7 are matched are displayed.

If any one of the first key buttons (あ, か, さ, た, な, は, ま, や, ら, わ) is input, the first key button switches to the second key button function and simultaneously 1 By selecting a specific character group (あ, い, う, え, お, X や, X ゆ, X よ) corresponding to the character line displayed on the key button, the above characters (あ, い, う, え, お, X YA, X YU and X YO) are output to one side of the screen of the display device.

For example, when the first key button marked four lines is pressed, eight characters (さ, し, す, せ, そ, し, し ゅ, し ょ) are shown as shown in FIG. That is, five consonants, five, four, three, small, four, and three belonging to two lines of four lines. The strings of the dog's yo (음 ゃ, し ゅ, し ょ) are selected.

Next, when one of the second key buttons is inputted, the five consonants of the four rows selected by the first key button are four consonants four, four, three, small, and four. One specific character displayed on the number (1-8) key button to which three yo (음, し ゅ, し ょ) is associated is selected to be displayed on the screen of the display unit (30).

In addition, the third key button is a button for converting a specific character of the first group that does not include a desk point or a semi-tack point (FIG. 3) to a second group of characters that includes a desk point or a semi-tack point (FIG. 5). For example, you can press the 3rd key button once for the consonant car, ,,, ,, (, ,, ,, 바, 바, 바 line An input switch key button to switch the input to the second group of characters.

In the third key button, a specific character is input by pressing a first key button and a second key button, and when a third key button is pressed, a desk point or a semi-tack point is converted into a character in the inputted specific character.

3 and 5 illustrate a character table in which 109 Kana characters are divided into a first group character and a second group character. FIG. 3 is a first group character. It is a 69-character alphabet that includes 48 notes of 50 degrees, plus tactiles (っ) and long notes (-), and 21 additional notes that extend from the consonants.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, the second group letter includes 40 letters including 25 sounds of the rhythm and the half tack and 15 rhythms extended from the rhythm and the half of the sound.

In addition, the character table may be configured to display a cancel key button for instructing to cancel the character input, and set the second key button 9 as a "cancel" button to cancel the previously inputted character line selection.

Next, a Japanese input device to which the Japanese Kana character of the present invention is assigned will be described.

As shown in FIG. 2A, the characters of the "ya" line are allocated to the (a) line of character key buttons and displayed together, and two lines of the letters a and ya (あ, わ) are assigned to one key button.

FIG. 2D is a diagram showing eight characters of Kana 50's ten lines on eight key buttons (1.2.3.4.5.6.7.9). The letters of are assigned together, and three keys A, Ya, and (あ, や, わ) are assigned to one key button.

And the character of the line (A) that does not have the consonants in the character line uses only five numeric keys corresponding to the five columns of the character table. Rows can be assigned together.

FIG. 2B is a diagram showing the characters of 10 lines of Kana 50 pitches on nine key buttons (1.2.3.4.5.6.7.9). It indicates that the characters of are assigned together.

On the other hand, the letters are 7 letters using 8 number key buttons including 4 letters (あ, い, う, え, お) and 3 yo (A, K, さ, た, な, は, ま, ら) can also be composed of 10 columns by further assigning a letter of the wa line having two characters to one of the lines.

As described above, the character input method using the concept of the character table used in the present invention uses a combination of a letter assignment key button for an extra numeric key that does not have a letter assigned to the character table corresponding to the number (1 to 9,0). Various embodiments allow for the assignment of characters.
