Abstract

The present invention relates to a text input method of a mobile phone and a mobile device with a touch screen, and omitted the unnecessary overlapping process when two or more characters are arranged on one button, and at the same time considering the frequency of use of characters, Character input method to reduce the character input error and the number of button input by limiting the directionality of the touch for each given button.

Description

At the touch of a mobile phone and mobile devices, text input method}

The present invention relates to a method of inputting characters of a touch type mobile phone and a mobile device, and more particularly, to a method of easily inputting characters using touch and arrangement when a plurality of characters are assigned to one button.

With the development of the information and telecommunications market, mobile phones and mobile devices have continued to develop. In addition, many products with various types and designs are released every year with new functions and upgraded performance, and touch-type text input technology using screens is introduced to various electronic devices such as PDAs and notebooks as well as mobile phones and mobile devices. .

The present invention is designed to improve the input portion of the touch-type character input technology, it is designed to enable more efficient use of the reduced text input space due to miniaturization of mobile phones and mobile devices.

Improved the procedure of pressing one key several times unnecessarily in the current method of assigning multiple characters to one button, reducing the number of button inputs, and using both hands when using mobile phones and mobile devices. By arranging consonants and vowels in consideration of use, the purpose is to improve the convenience and efficiency of the user.

In order to achieve the above object, when inputting characters of touch-type mobile phones and mobile devices, limit the number of buttons to 16 or less in consideration of the size of the screen, and arrange two or more characters in one button. By considering that the use of the left hand is comparatively lower than the right hand, place consonants in the left hand position, place the vowels in the right hand position.

When dragging keeping the touch occurs, the character input direction using this is set in 8 directions (←, ↖, ↑, ↗, →, ↘, ↓, ↙). In vowels, the use of button direction should be limited to within 4 directions, which reduces the error of input error due to the directionality of characters.

In addition, by using the number at the same time when the character input, it is configured to enable more efficient character input.

Among these input methods, all characters use one touch except the exception character when the vowel such as 'ㅔ', 'ㅐ', 'ㅖ' and 'ㅒ' of Korean character input method is completed. Configure to input.

According to the present invention, to solve the inconvenience of inputting the character through one or more touches on one button when entering the character, in consideration of the use of both hands when using the Hangul button, the consonants on the left side, the vowel buttons on the right side, The convenience and efficiency of character input can be improved.

1 illustrates an example of a character input method that is frequently used in a touch screen.
2 is an example of a Hangul input method shown as an embodiment of the present invention on a touch screen.
3 is an example of an English input method shown as an embodiment of the present invention on a touch screen.
4 is an example of a special character input method shown in an embodiment of the present invention on a touch screen.
FIG. 5 is a diagram in which virtual numbers are assigned to each button for easy description of FIG.
FIG. 6 is a diagram in which virtual numbers are assigned to each button for easy description of FIG.
FIG. 7 is a diagram in which an input is indicated for each letter of the button of FIG. 2 and a virtual number is assigned for easy description of FIG.
8 is a diagram for easily explaining a criterion of directionality when inputting characters.

Specific details for carrying out the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, the terms used in the present invention to explain the contents of the invention for easy understanding, will be described by defining appropriate terms and concepts.

'Touch' refers to touching a specific position of a screen of a mobile phone and a mobile device with a touch screen through a finger or an object and dropping it without direction. 'Touch & Drag' refers to touching a specific position on a screen of a mobile phone and a mobile device with a touch screen through a finger or an object, and directionally dropping it.

Referring to FIG. 5, in order to input a letter 'ㅋ', the virtual number 4 button should be touched twice. However, referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, in order to input 'ㅋ', a button located in the virtual number 1 may be input by touching and dragging once in the direction of '↘'.

Referring to FIG. 1, in consideration of the use of both hands when inputting characters in a mobile phone and a mobile device, a consonant is arranged on the left side where a relatively low frequency of the left hand is used, and a vowel is placed on the right side.

Referring to FIG. 7, the touch and drag directions of the left consonants, in which the relatively low frequency left hand is used, are limited to within 2 directions, thereby reducing inconvenience in using characters.

Even when the vowel is input, the direction of touch & drag is limited to within 4 directions to reduce the error of character input when too much directionality is given.

Referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, when the same characters 'Donghae and Baekdusan are dry' are input by the respective input methods, a total of 43 button inputs are required in the input method of FIG. Characters are completed by only one time of inputting, and the number of buttons that are unnecessary when entering characters is reduced.

Referring to FIG. 8, even when a touch and a drag is used at any starting point, recognition may be performed according to directionality, thereby reducing errors in character input.

Referring to FIG. 2, it is always possible to use numbers and numbers in consideration of mixing with numbers when using Korean or other languages or letters.

Numeric buttons also recognize multiple letters on a single button, but all numbers can be entered with one touch or one touch and drag.

However, if you need to enter two vowels such as 'ㅔ', 'ㅐ', 'ㅖ' and 'ㅒ', the exception characters can be touched and dragged twice. I could do it.

Claims

In the text input method using the touch screen, a consonant is arranged on the left and a vowel is arranged on the right.

Consonants are limited to the direction of the touch and drag within 2 directions, and vowels are limited to the direction of the touch and drag within 4 directions, thereby limiting the directionality of the characters to enter characters.

Exceptions made by combining two or more vowels such as 'ㅔ', 'ㅐ', ',', 'ㅒ' when entering Korean characters (ㅓ + ㅣ = 'ㅔ', ㅏ + ㅣ = 'ㅐ', ㅕ Except + ㅣ = 'ㅖ', 한 + ㅣ = 'ㅒ'), all consonants and vowels are one touch or one touch and drag.
