Description

Korean Alphabets Arrangement of Unified Keypad with Selectable Input Modes for Mobile Devices}

The present invention relates to an arrangement structure of the Hangul keyboard of a portable device. More specifically, the 29 Hangul consonants including 24 consonants and 5 consonants are arranged in two regions of the vowel and consonant bands and can be input for each mode. It relates to a Hangul array integrated keyboard of a portable device.

In the related art, for example, there are various types of Hangul arrangements of mobile phones, and there are inconveniences of speed reduction and error occurrence due to dynamic learning when a user switches to another model. In addition, the use of a large number of keys unnecessarily and the moving distance is relatively long, which takes a lot of time when entering characters, the present invention is optimized to use without any confusion by basically using the same arrangement in any input mode.

In addition, in the conventional dial arrangement, the vowel, consonant implementation, the principles of battering, conversion, and synthesis are unstructured compared to the present invention. gave. The term batter refers to tapping one key in place, and conversion refers to changing a character by pressing another function key after pressing one key.

Compared to the conventional arrangement, the present invention has consistent shape of the arrangement, and all Korean characters can be embodied within the keypad 12 keys, and code characters can be written.

The present invention solves the shortcomings of the Hangul arrangement of the keyboard of a conventional portable device. The input mode of the vowel and the consonant input mode are configured in an integrated arrangement form, and any mode is confused with the menu setting of the portable device. Enabled without.

The Hangul alphabet arrangement of the portable device keyboard has the desire to input Hangul without typos as quickly as possible, and the desire to use a common keyboard without being dependent on the model, but both are inadequate with the current technology.

In general, the Hangul arrangement of portable devices is very diverse, the variety of input methods, the number of keys for consonant vowels, and the '*' and '#' keys are arranged without any rules. There are many things used indiscriminately.

In addition, for example, it may be ambiguous to determine whether it is a plain text or a question by using only the sentence 'Evening dinner'.In this case, when inputting a question mark to express a question, a special character menu is loaded or selected, or a separate key is used. The input is currently inconvenient.

As described above, the existing arrangements have a lot of hand movements in the character input, the input of code characters is inconvenient, and above all, there is room for improvement because the arrangement form is different for each model.

The present invention devised to solve the above problems is to provide a Hangul array integrated keyboard of a portable device capable of selecting an input mode configured in a representative integrated array form by systematically distinguishing the input mode compared to the Hangul keyboard of a portable device in the past. The purpose is.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is arranged in three keys, whether the battered method or the celestial method in the case of vowels, the consonant is arranged to seven keys whether the battered method or the conversion method. And to use all input modes regardless of the model, integrated Hangul arrangement was made.

The '*' key is used only for consonants as a function key. In the case of the battering method, in principle, it is a function of 'finish the character' and in the case of the conversion method, 'conversion key'. The * key is used as a "keyboard switch key" when the character is not in a state of being composed.

The '#' key is a sign character key, which is used for inputting 'blank, question mark, period, comma, and @' as a representative example.

The modes according to the vowel input method (battery, celestial person) and the consonant input method (battery, conversion) are as follows: 'Menu'-> 'Setting'-> 'Text input mode'-> Mode 1, 2, 3, Set as 4 (example). As a representative example, the vowel battering method and the consonant battering method are mode 1, the vowel battering method and the consonant conversion method are mode 2, the vowel battering method and the consonant battering method are mode 3, and the vowel battering method and consonant conversion method are the same as mode 4. Instead of an identification number, you may write it as 'vowel battering consonant battering'.

The input mode may be selected by the user by selecting all four modes in the cellular phone or by downloading a desired mode from a communication means such as the Internet, or by a manufacturer. After mounting only one mode, the user can select a model equipped with a desired mode. Of course, instead of the menu selection method, the input mode may be set to a single standard type.

According to the present invention, the consonant and vowel elements of Hangul are systematically arranged on the keyboard of a portable device, so that they can be used integrally regardless of the model. In addition, the '#' key is used as a sign for convenient character input. The vowel and consonant input method is a 'menu, setting' of a portable device, and the user selects one of the modes 1 to 4 based on four combinations of the vowel battering method and the celestial battering method and the consonant battering method and the conversion method. There is an effect that can be conveniently used for text input in a suitable manner.

Or, if a manufacturer of a portable device manufactures only one mode for each mode and allows a user to select and purchase a mode, the manufacturing cost can be reduced as well as the consumer's choice, and the consumer's choice can be expanded. .

The present invention may be modified in various ways and may have various embodiments. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to exemplary structures of the present invention. However, this is not intended to limit the present invention only to the illustrated form, and the spirit and scope of the present invention should be understood to include ordinary changes, equivalents, and substitutes of the illustrated forms.

As a means for achieving the present invention, three digit keys, for example, 1, 2, 3 (see 100 in Figure 1) for the vowel batting method '각각', 'ㅗ TT', '| 'Is arranged. 'ㅣ, ㆍ, ㅡ' are written in parentheses () for the Cheonjiin method. The staging may be reversed depending on the mode identification number. In the case of the screen touchpad type that is input by the touch type on the screen, parenthesis () type is not required, and only the corresponding method is displayed according to a selection mode of vowel or celestial type. The numeric keys used can be three numbers side by side. For example, the '1,2,3' key or the '4,5,6' key, or the '3,6,9' key. In the example, 'ㅣ' is placed first because 'ㅣ' is more frequent than 'ㅡ'.

For the remaining seven numeric keys (see 200 and 210 in Fig. 1), for example, 'ㄱㅋ ㄲ', 'ㄴ ㄹㅁ', 'ㄷㅌ ㄸ', 'ㅂㄷ ㅃ', 'ㅅ ㅎㅆ', 'ㅈ ㅊㅉ', 'ㅇ 'Is arranged respectively. The basic concept is three or less consonants per key, each of which has five keys, 'a', 'c', ',', ',', with a flat vowel sound. 210), and arranged with one key for the remaining 'ㄴ ㄹㅁ'. Arranging 'ㅇ' alone is the most frequent when inputting letters, and the most frequent conjuncts between the base and the initial consonant. 'ㅎ' is not a sound in case of 'ㅅ', but is arranged in the middle of 'ㅅ' and 'ㅆ' to balance per key. This arrangement is a comprehensive consideration of frequency, finger movements, and future writings.

The '*' key (300 in FIG. 1) is marked as 'function', for example, but may not be displayed. The '#' key (400 in FIG. 1) is marked with, for example, '→ (space / space)? (Question mark). (Period), (comma), @'. Representatively, the frequency of use is exemplified.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a view showing the core configuration of a Hangul keyboard according to the first embodiment of the present invention, a typical telephone keyboard having a 3 × 4 key (12 keys) is shown.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the vowel battering method, 'ㅏㅓ', 'ㅗ TT', and 'ㅣ ㅡ' are respectively arranged in the vowel unit 100 corresponding to three keys, and each key is 'ㅏㅓ ㅑㅕ', Used for input of 'ㅗ ㅜㅗㅠ', 'ㅣ ㅡ ㅢ'. Implementing vowels is enough for battering and synthesis only within them. For example, in the case of 10 basic vowels (written in the description means battering, + means key movement), 'ㅏ = ㅏ', 'ㅑ = ㅏ ㅓㅑ', 'ㅓ = ㅏㅓ', 'ㅕ = ㅏㅓ ㅑㅕ' , 'ㅗ = ㅗ', 'ㅛ = ㅗ ㅜㅛ', 'ㅜ = ㅗㅜ', 'ㅠ = ㅗ ㅜㅛㅠ', 'ㅡ = ㅣ ㅡ', 'ㅣ = ㅣ'. These are enough for a single bat each.

In the case of 11 vowels, 'ㅏ = ㅏ + ㅣ', 'ㅒ = ㅏ ㅓㅑ + ㅣ', 'ㅔ = ㅏㅓ + ㅣ', 'ㅖ = ㅏㅓ ㅑㅕ + ㅣ', 'ㅘ = ㅗ + ㅏ', 'ㅙ = ㅗ + ㅏ + ㅣ ',' ㅚ = ㅗ + ㅣ ',' ㅝ = ㅗㅜ + ㅏ '(this is enough),' ㅞ = ㅗㅜ + ㅏ + ㅣ '(this is enough),' ㅟ = ㅗㅜ + ㅣ You can enter ',' ㅢ = ㅣ ㅡ ㅢ '.

All other vowels other than the relatively low frequency 'ㅙ' and 'ㅞ' use only two of the three keys for vowels and do not require any other keys. 'ㅙ' and 'ㅞ' with three keys are only 0.1% of the whole vowel.

In the case of the heaven and earth mode written in parentheses, it is the same as the conventional heaven and earth mode, and thus a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 1, the consonants (200 and 210 of FIG. 1) include 'ㄱㅋ ㄲ', 'ㄴ ㄹㅁ', 'ㄷㅌ ㄸ', 'ㅂㄷ ㅃ', 'ㅅ ㅎㅆ', 'ㅈ ㅊㅉ', ' ㅇ 'is arranged separately and the consonants are implemented as follows. For the battering method, for example, 'ㄱ = ㄱ', 'ㅋ = ㄱㅋ', 'ㄲ = ㄱㅋ ㄲ' and the other consonants are input in a similar manner.

The '*' key 300 is used only as a consonant as a function key, and in the case of the battering method, the '*' key (300 in FIG. 1) is a function of 'finish character' under the condition of 12 keys in principle. In this case, it has the function of 'conversion key'.

In the case of the battering method, the '*' key 300 is used when the consonants connected to the base are arranged on the same key. For example, the method of inputting the 'instrument' is' ㅇ + ㅏ + ㄱ + * + ㄱ Same as + ㅣ '. However, instead of the '*' key, a forward key other than 12 keys may be used as in the case of a conventional portable device, but the character end function is in principle when the character input is performed within 12 keys.

In the case of the conversion method, the '*' key 300 is a function of the 'conversion key' and may be replaced by a function of converting consonants by batting the conversion key one or two times after inputting the basic consonant. For example, in the case of the 'ㄱㅋ ㄲ' key of the consonant part 100, the input method using the conversion function of the '*' key 300, 'ㄱ = ㄱ', 'ㅋ = ㄱ + *', ' Enter ㄲ = ㄱ + ** 'in order, and other consonants are similar.

Either way, long press the key to make the number appear. This is the same as in the prior art.

The '*' key can be used as the 'keyboard switching' key, whether the consonant is battered or converted. In other words, when the character is not in the form of a character, that is, the initial input state, the vowel completed state (in the present invention, no conversion key is used for the vowel), or when the cursor is finished and the character is completed, the '*' key 300 may be used as a keyboard change key.

For example, it can be converted to Hangul / Hanja / English (lowercase) / English (uppercase) / number / pictogram / old letter /, etc., and the conversion order of the keyboard can be selected or standardized by the manufacturer.

In this case, the keyboard can be switched in any mode without having a separate key to switch the keyboard in addition to the 12 keys.

In the case of the above example, the default state is Hangul mode, when the '*' key is pressed once, it is converted to Hanja mode, and when pressed twice, it is the English lowercase mode.

More specifically, when pressing the '*' key 300 while entering the letter 'han', for example, '0 韓 1 漢 2 限 3 寒 ...' is displayed. Is converted. Of course, the order of numbers and Chinese characters can be changed according to the frequency of use. If you press the Enter key without selecting a number, the Chinese character corresponding to 0 is entered.

If you want to continue to select the next keyboard, by pressing the '*' key 300 one more time in the Chinese character mode is converted to English (lowercase) mode, it is possible to switch the keyboard in the above manner.

'과 같은 옛글의 입력이 가능하다.In the old writing mode, 'ban' is the subordinate letter of the 's' key, 'old' and 'young' are the subordinate letters of the 'o' key, and 'down' is the vowel 'ㅣ' key. Each can be arranged as a subordinate of. Of course, the arrangement position may be different, and the depth (layer) of each key may be sufficiently arranged to be 4 or less.

You can enter old text such as'.

The '#' key 400 of FIG. 1 may be used as a key for inputting a special function or a special character. For example, '→ (space / space),? (Question mark),. (Period),, (comma) ), @ ', Etc. can be selected and input in a battering manner. For example, to enter a question mark after the phrase 'eating dinner', in the illustrated embodiment, the '#' key 400 is hit until the question mark appears (two times in the above example). The special function or special characters may be recorded in various ways as necessary, and in the case of '@', it may cope with a Korean email address of a future trend. In the present invention, only five representatives are displayed, and other special functions or characters which are not displayed may be included as necessary, which may be determined according to the frequency of use.

2 is a view showing the core configuration of the Hangul keyboard according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Fig. 2, the vowels are arranged on keys 4, 5, and 6, respectively, which, unlike telephone keyboards, apply to numbers-only editions (so-called numeric pads) whose numbers start with 1, 2, and 3 from the bottom. Even when you do this, the arrangement of the vowels does not change. Figure 2 also shows an example of a different position of the consonants in consideration of the frequency of 'b, ㄹ, ㅁ' by increasing the effect by being close to the function key.

Thus, while the foregoing description has been shown and described with respect to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above, the invention belongs without departing from the spirit of the invention claimed in the claims. Various modifications may be made by those skilled in the art, and such modifications should not be individually understood from the technical spirit or prospect of the present invention. For example, move another character to the 'ㅇ' key next to the 'ㅇ' arranged in the 0 key in consideration of the frequency, consonant consonants, the arrangement of the old letters, and the shape conformity. Arrangement on other number keys or moving other characters instead of ㅎ between and 없는 without lexicography are easily modified embodiments of the present invention and cannot be viewed differently from the technical idea of the present invention.
