Description

Character input method of touch screen panel {METHOD FOR INPUTTING INFORMATION OF TOUCH SCREEN PANAL}

The present invention relates to an information input method using a touch screen panel capable of inputting characters, and more particularly, to a character input method of a touch screen panel capable of inputting characters more conveniently.

The touch screen panel generally adopts a pressure reduction method or an electrostatic method. In the decompression method, the upper and lower electrodes are selectively contacted by a predetermined pressure to determine the contact position of the body. The electrostatic method measures the changing capacitance value of the resistance electrode by contacting or approaching the body, thereby contacting the body. I can figure out the location.

The touch screen panel may recognize an operation of touching, dragging, or drawing the upper surface of the touch screen panel using a hand or a touch fan.

For example, in the mobile communication terminal equipped with the above-described touch screen panel, a plurality of buttons that allow the user to input desired information by touching on the touch screen panel are imaged, and the user can select the desired information by touching it. have.

However, in the first screen of the conventional touch screen panel, predetermined characters are displayed on the screen of the touch screen panel through the button image. In this case, when the plane of the touch screen panel is divided to display more various characters, the button image is displayed. Is too small for the user to perform a touch operation.

Although it is possible to adopt a method of displaying other key buttons by switching the screen on the touch screen panel, this also has the inconvenience of switching the screen.

The present invention provides a character input method of a touch screen panel which is convenient for inputting various characters, numbers, symbols, etc. as well as characters according to a button image provided on a display panel.

The present invention provides a character input method of a touch screen panel that can overcome the inconvenience of being difficult to touch because the size of the button image is too small when the touch screen panel plane is divided to display various characters on the button image. to provide.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a character input method of a touch screen panel displaying button images for character input and inputting a character by a touch operation is predefined according to an initial touch point and a moving direction of a drag operation. Maintaining a guide motion and additional input information corresponding to each guide motion, detecting a drag motion input from the touch screen panel, and selecting a guide motion substantially matching the drag motion input among the defined guide motions. And displaying additional input information corresponding to the selected guide motion on the touch screen panel.

In the present specification, a touch screen panel is provided on a display such as an organic light emitting diode (OLED), a liquid crystal display device (LCD), etc. capable of displaying an image, and an upper portion of the display. The electronic device may refer to a device including a touch panel sensor capable of detecting a contact of a body by a reduced pressure, a resistive film, or a capacitive method.

The image provided in the display may be exposed to the upper portion of the transparent touch panel sensor to display letters, numbers, symbols, pictures, punctuation, actions, or a combination thereof of a specific language. In this case, the action may include performing a specific function such as a space, a line feed, a save or a transfer, or the like.

The touch panel sensor provides a touch area capable of detecting a touch of the body, which is divided along a boundary of a button image provided by the display, and each of the divided touch areas reads coordinates of the body contact. There is a number.

Meanwhile, in addition to inputting a character provided in the button image, in the present invention, not only the character corresponding to the button image but also a combination thereof or other characters or combinations thereof may be input through a drag operation.

In the present specification, the touch operation is an operation for selecting a character provided in a button image, and may include an operation of tapping or touching inside a boundary of each button image. However, the touch operation may not only include a tapping or touching operation performed inside the boundary of the button image, but may also include a drag or draw operation performed substantially inside the boundary of each button image.

Meanwhile, the drag operation in the present specification may refer to an operation having a continuous trajectory by moving a user's body part in contact with the touch screen panel, and the trajectory may follow a boundary of a button image or It may be used as a concept that is different from the touch operation of crossing a boundary of a button image and selecting a specific character.

In the character input method of the touch screen panel of the present invention by the drag operation described above, additional input information may be selected.

In detail, the above-described drag motion may be classified into different guide motions according to the initial touch point and the moving direction, and additional predefined input information may be selected according to each guide motion.

Of course, before performing the drag operation, the character input method of the touch screen panel maintains a predefined guide motion and additional input information corresponding to each guide motion according to the initial touch point and the moving direction of the drag operation.

In the present specification, the guide motion refers to a drag motion for selecting additional input information. Drag motions may be classified according to various conditions, and each of the divided drag motions may correspond to other additional input information. Can be selected as the guide motion.

The above-described conditions may further include not only an initial touch point and a moving direction of the drag operation, but also a final touch point of the drag operation, a moving speed of the drag, a touch holding time at the last touch point, and the like. For example, the drag operation may include a linear movement, a curved movement, or a combination of linear / curved movements, or may further include conditions for allowing the drag operations to be spaced apart, overlapped, parallel, crossed, and branched.

Drag operations that may be distinguished from each other under the various conditions described above may be defined as specific guide motions, and the guide motions defined as described above may have additional input information corresponding thereto.

Thus, when a drag motion is detected in the touch screen panel, a guide motion substantially matching the input drag motion may be selected from predefined guide motions. Thereafter, additional input information corresponding to the selected guide motion may be displayed on the touch screen panel.

That is, through the guide motion, additional input information corresponding to each guide motion (letters, numbers, symbols, pictures, punctuation, actions, tones, pronunciation changes, or a combination thereof) of a specific language is displayed on the touch screen panel. By displaying through, it is possible to easily input various characters, numbers, symbols, etc. in addition to the characters according to the button image provided on the first display panel through a drag operation. In particular, guided motions can be used to simply select Chinese personalities, or to simply select Japanese sound, halftone, bass, and tactile sounds.

Therefore, since various characters can be input as well as non-imaged characters without displaying all the various characters on the limited touch screen panel, it is necessary to overcome the problem of reducing the size of the button image to display all the characters. Can be.

On the other hand, the step of selecting a guide motion substantially coincident with the input drag motion, defining a guide area for detecting the guide motion on the touch screen panel, and determines whether the input drag motion is performed in the guide area When the input drag operation is performed in the guide region, the guide motion corresponding to the input drag operation may be selected.

Here, the guide area is defined as the area of the touch panel sensor for the drag operation to be selected as the guide motion, the drag operation can be made anywhere on the touch panel sensor, in order to be recognized as a guide motion in the guide area Should be done in When the drag operation is performed in the guide area as described above, the recognition rate of the drag operation for the guide motion can be increased by being recognized as the guide motion.

However, the shape or position of the guide region is preferably determined in consideration of the user's convenience when performing the guide motion defined by the drag operation as the drag operation.

For reference, the guide motion may include both dragging and drawing operations. If the above-described operations are mostly performed within the guide region even when the guide motion is slightly out of the guide region in the process of performing the above-described operation, the guide motion may be a guide motion. Can be recognized. Accordingly, the guide area may be defined to have a more relaxed area on the touch panel sensor to further include a partial area around the guide motion.

In addition, as described above, a guide motion that substantially matches the input drag motion may be selected from predefined guide motions, wherein substantially matching determines whether the elements defining the guide motion are the same or similar. For example, if the guide motion is defined as the initial touch point and the direction of movement, consider whether the touch is initiated at the initial touch point or its adjacent point and whether it moves in parallel or similar to the direction of movement. Can be judged. In addition, when the guide motion is defined by the movement length or the movement trajectory, the added elements may be determined in the same or similar ranges.

The guide area corresponding to the guide motion may be defined on the display panel in consideration of the same or the error range, and when the drag motion is input in the guide area including the exact trajectory of the guide motion and its periphery, an additional input corresponding to the guide motion may be defined. Information can be displayed.

In addition, in the character input method of the touch screen panel according to the present invention, a guide image for visualizing the above-described guide motion may be displayed on the touch screen panel.

In the present specification, the guide image refers to the above-described conditions for specifying a drag operation to be selected as the guide motion, for example, the initial touch point, the moving direction, the last touch point, the moving speed of the drag, and the touch holding at the last touch point. It may refer to images that are visually represented to inform the user of time and the like.

However, the guide image is not normally displayed so as not to overlap with the button image, but may be displayed for a while when a user's dragging motion is detected, and the display is darker or thinner than the button image. To avoid confusion with the button image.

Of course, whether or not to display the guide image may vary depending on the user's skill level, and in detail, may vary depending on the degree of knowledge of the guide motion corresponding to the additional input information. For example, if the user is well aware of the guide motion, the guide image may not be displayed at all. If the user is moderately familiar, as described above, if the drag motion is detected, the guide image may be temporarily displayed. . In addition, since the degree of acquaintance with the guide motion is very low for a first-time user or a user who has a very short period of use, the guide image may be always displayed.

Therefore, the user visually checks various guide motions that can be selected by the guide image, and thus, the user can perform guide motions for easily selecting desired additional input information.

Also, by detecting an initial touch for a drag operation in the guide area and displaying additional input information corresponding to the guide motion having the same initial touch point as the initial touch point in the guide area, the user can select various The guide motion may be previewed, and guide motion for selecting additional input information may be easily performed. The image of the additional input information displayed in this way may also be included in the guide image.

Further, the additional input information corresponding to the guide motion may be specified in advance by the user, and thus the user may be more advantageous in storing the specific guide motion for selecting the specific additional input information.

According to the present invention, various characters, numbers, symbols, etc. may be conveniently input through the guide motion in addition to the characters according to the button images provided on the first display panel.

According to the present invention, by inputting not only the characters provided in the button image through the guide motion but also various characters or numbers, symbols, etc., the number of characters on the touch screen panel is smaller than the number of characters on the touch screen panel. The button image can be displayed, thereby increasing the size of the button image.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited or limited by the embodiments. In describing the present invention, a detailed description of well-known functions or constructions may be omitted for clarity of the present invention.

1 is a cross-sectional view of a touch screen panel to which a text input method using a touch screen panel according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied, and FIGS. 2 to 5 are text input methods of a touch screen panel according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figures for explaining.

First, referring to FIG. 1, the touch screen panel 100 includes a display 110 and a touch panel sensor 150.

The display 110 may be provided as an organic light emitting device, a liquid crystal display, or the like capable of displaying an image.

The touch panel sensor 150 may be used by adopting a general pressure reduction method or an electrostatic method, and in this embodiment, the touch panel sensor 150 is mounted on the display 110 of the personal portable terminal. It is provided on the lower sheet member 120 and the lower sheet member 120 including a lower transparent film 122 positioned on the display 110 and a lower transparent electrode 124 formed on an upper surface of the lower transparent film 122. An upper sheet member 130 including an upper transparent film 132 and an upper transparent electrode 134 formed on a bottom surface of the upper transparent film 132 to correspond to the lower transparent electrode 124, and an upper transparent film 132. ) And an insulating member 140 interposed between the lower transparent film 122.

2 is a front view of the touch screen panel to which the character input method of the touch screen panel according to the present invention is applied.

As shown in FIG. 2, the above-described display 110 displays button images 230 for inputting consonants and vowels of Korean characters, and the button images 230 are exposed through the transparent touch panel sensor 150. The user can visually confirm. In the present embodiment, the button image 230 displays Korean, but in some cases, the button image may display English or other languages in addition to Korean. As shown, an action such as a punctuation mark or line break may be performed. It may further provide a button image 230 that can be input.

On the other hand, the touch panel sensor 150 provides a touch area 210 for detecting a touch of the body, which is divided along the boundary of the button image 230 provided by the display 110. In each of the divided touch regions 210, the coordinates of contact with the body can be read.

Accordingly, when the user visually checks the desired character through the button image 230 and touches the button image 230 by using a hand or a stylus pan, the user of the divided touch area 210 corresponding to the touched point. Coordinates are detected, and a character corresponding to the detected coordinates can be input.

As described above, the letters or symbols selected by the user's touch may be displayed in the display area 220 provided in the upper area of the touch panel sensor 150 which is separated from the touch area 210.

In the text input method according to the present invention, which can be applied to the above-described touch screen panel 100, the drag operation performed on the touch screen panel 100 can be sensed, so that the text provided by the button image 230 can be used as well as other characters. You can select additional input information, including other letters or numbers, symbols, pictures, punctuation, actions (enter or space), or a combination thereof.

Hereinafter, the guide motion defined by the drag operation, the guide region in which the guide motion is performed, and the guide image will be described in detail.

As shown in FIG. 2, in the character input method of the touch screen panel 100 according to the present invention, a predefined guide motion and additional input information corresponding to each guide motion are defined according to an initial touch point and a moving direction of a drag operation. Keep it.

The rectangles indicated by dotted lines on the touch screen panel 100 and the diagonal lines in the rectangles provide a guide area 240, and the guide area 240 may detect a drag operation by a user.

Drag operations performed in the guide region 240 may be distinguished from each other according to the initial touch point and the moving direction of the drag operation, and each of the divided drag operations corresponds to the guide motion.

In addition, the drag operation may be divided by the initial touch point and the moving direction as well as the last touch point, the moving speed of the drag, and the touch holding time at the last touch point, and may correspond to the guide motions corresponding thereto.

Thus, when the user performs the drag operation, the touch panel sensor 150 detects this, determines whether the input drag operation is performed in the guide area 240, and then the drag operation is performed in the guide area 240. In this case, the guide motion corresponding to the drag motion may be selected to select additional input information corresponding to the guide motion.

Here, a guide motion that is substantially identical to the input drag motion among the defined guide motions may be selected. Specifically, in consideration of an error range of the drag motion with respect to the guide motion, the guide motion may include an accurate trajectory of the guide motion and its surroundings. When the drag operation is input within the guide area, corresponding additional input information may be displayed.

3 is a state diagram in which the user performs a drag operation in the guide region, and as shown in FIG. 3, for example, a question mark is displayed by a guide motion corresponding to a case in which the user drags a right straight section from the top to the bottom. Is selected and a question mark is displayed in the display area 220. As another example, when the right straight section is dragged from the bottom to the top, a combination of question marks and spaces may be selected and displayed together on the display area 220. Further, other additional input information may be input according to the guide motion performed in the guide area. For example, when the diagonal line is dragged from the upper right to the lower left, a back space may be input or On the contrary, when dragging from the lower left to the upper right, a period and a space can be input at the same time.

Here, the additional input information corresponding to the guide motion may be previously specified by the user. Accordingly, the user may more easily remember a specific guide motion corresponding to the specific additional input information.

For reference, in the present embodiment, the guide area 240 is indicated by a dotted line, and is not actually displayed on the touch screen panel 100. This is to prevent the button images 230 from being blocked by the guide region 240.

However, since the guide motion is performed depending on the memory of the user because it is not displayed on the screen, it may not be easy to accurately select additional input information desired by the user.

Accordingly, in the character input method of the touch screen panel according to the present invention, conditions for specifying a drag operation for selecting as a guide motion, for example, an initial touch point, a moving direction, a final touch point, a moving speed of a drag, and a final touch point In order to notify the user of the touch holding time and the like, visually expressed images may be provided.

In this specification, images that are visually represented on the screen are referred to as guide images.

However, the guide image is not normally displayed so as not to overlap with the button image, but may be displayed for a while when a user's touch or drag operation is detected, and the display is darker or thinner than the button image. Etc., to avoid confusion with the button image.

4 is a diagram illustrating the guide region, the guide motion, and the guide image so as to be easily distinguished. Referring to FIG. 4, the guide image is displayed inside the guide region that is not visible and is indicated by a dotted line. In addition, the user may check the guide image and perform the guide motion for the desired additional input information based on the guide image. That is, in FIG. 4, the guide image is provided by visualizing the initial touch point and the direction of the guide motion, and is displayed to overlap with the guide area to prevent the user from performing a drag operation for the guide motion in the touch panel sensor of the wrong part. can do.

Of course, if the user roughly knows the position of the guide region for the guide motion, it will be described in detail later with reference to FIG. 6, but the guide motion and the guide region are not necessarily identical. In particular, in FIG. 5, the guide image 250 is provided along the boundary of the button images 230. In FIG. 5, the guide image 250 indicates various directions of the guide motion.

As shown in FIG. 6, the moving direction of the drag operation, which may be selected as the guide motion, is displayed to overlap with the button image 230, and the user performs a drag operation that is divided according to the moving direction and the moving distance. Guide motion with input information can be performed.

In this case, the guide image 250 displays additional input information corresponding to the guide motion in addition to the moving direction and the moving distance of the guide motion.

Specifically, when the user drags only the top and bottom half of the guide area 240 disposed on the left side, the user may select a guide motion having additional input information corresponding to the exclamation point (!), And when dragging to the end, a question mark A guide motion having additional input information corresponding to (?) May be selected. In addition, when the user drags only half from the bottom up and down within the guide area 240 disposed on the left side, the user may select a guide motion having additional input information corresponding to a period (.), And if the user drags to the end, a comma ( A guide motion having additional input information corresponding to,) may be selected.

In addition, in the guide area 240 disposed on the right side, when dragging from the top to the bottom half, a guide motion having additional input information corresponding to a space can be selected, and when dragging to the end, it corresponds to a line break (enter). Guide motion with additional input information can be selected. In addition, when dragging the guide area 240 disposed on the right half only from the bottom up, a guide motion having additional input information corresponding to dollars ($) can be selected. A guide motion having corresponding additional input information can be selected.

In addition, the guide images 250 indicated by arrows toward the center of the touch panel sensor of the guide area 240 in the upper left, right, and bottom left and right of the guide area 240, respectively, visually display the guide motion having different additional input information. Doing.

Of course, whether or not the above-described guide image 250 is displayed may vary depending on the user's skill level. Specifically, the guide image 250 may vary depending on the degree of knowledge of the guide motion corresponding to the additional input information. For example, if the user is familiar with the guide motion, the guide image may not be displayed at all, as shown in FIG. 3. If the user is moderate, the user may touch the guide image 250. When the drag motion is detected, the display may be displayed for a while. Since the degree of understanding of the guide motion is very low for the first-time user or the user who has a very short period of use, the guide image 250 may be displayed at all times.

Therefore, the user visually checks various guide motions that can be selected by the guide image 250, and thus, the user can easily select and perform a guide motion for easily selecting desired additional input information.

In addition, although the guide image 250 is displayed adjacent to the guide area 240 in FIG. 6, as shown in FIG. 5, the guide image 250 may be disposed and displayed inside the guide area 240. It is possible to prevent dragging for guided motion in the wrong part too far from the area. As shown in FIG. 6, not necessarily displaying the guide image 250 inside the guide area 240 may be possible because the drag motion for the guide motion corresponds to the guide motion, since the drag motion is selected as the guide motion. have.

The guide image 250 described above may be visualized through a thin line, a dotted line or a translucent image within a limit that is not inconvenient to check the button image 230, and is displayed in a darker or thinner thickness than the button image. Etc., to avoid confusion with the button image.

That is, through the guide motion performed in the guide area 240, additional input information corresponding to each guide motion (letters, numbers, symbols, pictures, punctuation, actions, or a combination thereof) corresponding to each guide motion may be touched by the touch screen panel ( By displaying through 100, various characters, numbers, symbols, actions, and combinations thereof may be easily input by dragging, in addition to the characters according to the button image 230 provided on the initial display 110, and various characters. Since it is possible to input not only the characters but also other non-imaged characters without displaying all of the limited touch screen panel 100, the problem of reducing the size of the button image 230 to display all the characters It can be overcome. In particular, the guide motion can be used to simply select the four personalities of Chinese, or simply select the Japanese sound, half-tone, bass, tactile, etc., it is possible to effectively utilize the limited area of the touch screen panel.

On the other hand, the above-described guide area 240 may be provided anywhere on the touch panel sensor 150, the shape is not specified. However, when performing the guide motion defined by the drag operation as the drag operation, it is desirable to determine the shape so that the user can easily drag.

For example, the guide motion may be a combination of linear movement, curved movement, or a combination of linear / curved movement, and the guide motion may be spaced apart, overlapped, parallel, crossed, and branched so as to be distinguished from each other.

Therefore, the guide region may be provided with an area sufficient to accommodate the trajectory of the guide motion. Of course, the guide area is not necessarily set to accommodate the trajectory of the guide motion, since substantially if most of the guide motion is performed inside the guide area, this can be recognized as a guide motion.

Specifically, as illustrated in FIGS. 3, 5, and 6, the guide area 240 includes four straight sections forming a rectangle and two straight sections diagonally inside the rectangle, thereby totaling six straight sections. 7, the guide region 240 may be provided as two curved sections and four straight sections provided in a semicircle spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance from left and right.

In addition, as illustrated in FIG. 8, when the first touch for the drag operation is detected in the guide area 240, the guide motion having the same first touch point as the first touch point in the guide area 240 corresponds to the guide motion. Additional input information such as an exclamation point, a comma, and a question mark may be displayed through the guide image 250.

In this case, the guide image 250 may be displayed for a predetermined time, and the user may preview various guide motions that can be selected by the user in advance, and thus may perform a guide motion for easily selecting desired additional input information.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, the moment when the user touches the upper right side of the guide area 240, the direction and additional input information of the guide motions corresponding to the exclamation point, comma, and question mark respectively having the upper left point as the initial touch point. Is displayed.

For reference, the guide motion may include both dragging and drawing operations in the guide area 240. In the process of performing the above-described operation, the guide motion is mostly out of the guide area. If it is made within 240 may be recognized as a guide motion.

In addition, FIG. 9 is a front view of a touch screen panel capable of inputting English characters. Referring to FIG. 9, the display 110 may input button images having a predetermined area in an array of 6 * 4 to input English characters. 230), and all the alphabets from A to Z are displayed inside the button image area 230, but since Q and Z, which are less used, cannot display all 26 alphabetic characters, P and Y are displayed. The button area may be divided and displayed together.

That is, in order to input another character in addition to the character provided by the button image 230, the display screen of the touch screen panel 100 is limited, and the size of the button image 230 should be reduced. This can be overcome by using the character input method of the screen panel.

In detail, additional input information including punctuation marks such as a separate comma, period, exclamation point, or special characters may be input into the guide area by dragging, so that the key arrangement for the additional input information may be omitted. As a result, the size of the button image disposed in the space of the display can be largely adjusted.

In addition, the user may input additional input information more conveniently by inputting a special character or a combination of actions in a single drag operation.

As described above, although described with reference to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, those skilled in the art various modifications and variations of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention described in the claims below I can understand that you can.
