As shown, the touch pad 133 may be implemented on one side of the second input unit 130 in a size that is easy to touch using a user's finger (generally a thumb) (primary of the touch pad). The function is the same as the joy stick described above). In addition, as described above, a direction key may be added to an adjacent outer side of the touch pad 133 in consideration of user convenience.

The touch pad 133 may be implemented as a direct text input means using a computer screen instruction function. That is, when the touch pad 133 is touched, such as writing a character directly using a predetermined pointer in a previously executed character input mode, after a few seconds (for example, 2 seconds) or after a specific key (for example, a conversion key) It can be implemented to be converted into characters of a predetermined style by input and displayed on a computer monitor.

Here, in the text input mode, in a state where direct text input is possible using the touch pad 133 (for example, a separate text input window that can be displayed on the monitor), the touch using the pointer is not an image but a simple screen instruction. It may be implemented as a software program capable of recognizing and converting into a specific character matching the recognized image. In addition, the pointer (pointer) can be anything that is easy to touch the touch pad 133 (including the user's finger, nail), but is preferably implemented as a plastic pen dedicated to character input for the accuracy of character input.

The signal transmitter 150 may signal an input of the wireless input apparatus 100 and transmit a wireless signal corresponding to an input from the first input unit 110 or the second input unit 130.

The same method as that of writing a text message through a mobile phone using the first input unit 110 similar to a keypad for a mobile phone is described. Characters, non-letter characters, etc. can be input (in the case of a mobile phone, a text message is written while viewing an LCD window, but in the present invention, a predetermined PC input can be performed while directly looking at a screen of a computer monitor, etc.). As described above, a key for enlarging / reducing the screen of the portion where the cursor is located may be added to the first input unit in consideration of the visual convenience of the user).

That is, letters and numbers including Korean and English may be converted into a desired letter or number through the conversion key 111 and inputted ('ㄱㄴㄷ' displayed at the bottom right of the input window configured on the screen means Korean input state). . Here, when a frequently used symbol (?, #, ^) Or an inscription key (for example, enter or space) is directly assigned according to the keypad assignment method of the first input unit 110, a simple switch key 111 operation is performed. You can enter not only letters and numbers, but also symbols or non-character keys.

Symbols, special characters, and non-character keys that cannot be input (assigned to the keypad) only by the keypad switching through the switching key 111 bring up a separate selection window as shown through the menu key 113 input. Can be entered. For example, if a special character (the key assigned to the number 2 on the keypad) is selected through the selection window and a separate window consisting of the special character is displayed on the screen, the special character is displayed by pressing a key corresponding to the special character desired by the user. It may be implemented to. A separate window composed of only the above-described special characters is similar to the text message input method of the mobile phone, and thus, further description thereof will be omitted.

On the other hand, for the description of the input method of the first input unit 110 with reference to FIG. 3, a separate input window is displayed on the screen, the user first inputs the desired input through the input window, and then enters the screen according to a predetermined key input. Although it is assumed to be displayed, it may be implemented by displaying directly on the screen without configuring a separate screen window. However, in the case of the direct screen display method, it is preferable to further include an enlargement key 115 which functions to enlarge or reduce the screen of the portion where the cursor is located for the user's visual convenience.

The above-described switching key 111, menu key 113, and enlargement key 115 may be implemented as part of a keypad included in the first input unit, or as shown in FIG. 2 in consideration of the characteristics of a frequently used key. It can also be implemented as a separate circular button on the outside for user convenience.
