Description

World letter input device on touch screen panel

According to the present invention, when a character is input in a small character input device using a touch screen panel, a character using a single input frame may be used for not only Korean but also languages using Roman characters and all languages in the world having unique characters such as Japanese, Chinese, Arabic and Thai. It relates to a device for inputting.

The technique used in the present invention

1. A character input array format that can be applied not only to Korean but also to languages with many alphanumeric characters.

2. By placing the vowel input area in the center separately, it is easy to recognize frequently used vowels in any language and make quick input.

3. Divided the peripheral part into 12 and arranged in a circle so that you can input consonants or alphabets, and set the input area divided into 3x3 = 9 in the center, and use vowels, Arabic numerals, and character codes of each language as needed. By arranging the tones for each language, it enables all new input methods that can be applied to LCD screens such as traditional methods or drag and multi-touch.

4. The function keys necessary for text input are also arranged so that they can be applied to all small screens that require text input as an independent text input device.

1. Hangul keyboard should be arranged with one letter on the keyboard to input Korean characters most efficiently.However, if you input all Korean characters with less than the number of letters like the twelve keys on the phone, multiple letters will be placed on one key. Or by using additional extension keys or by creating a separate input window. For this reason, you have to press the key several times and input additional input signal or drag several times for the next character input, which is caused by the combination of several methods such as input stroke and increase of moving distance or pressing and dragging. There are challenges to minimize the number of inefficiencies and delays. To this end, it is necessary to reduce the overlap arrangement of letters and minimize the movement distance of the input means such as fingers and the use of the expansion keys, and to input easily and conveniently with simple rules and key arrangement.

With a liquid crystal screen used recently, there is no need to limit the number of input keys to 12 when entering characters. By increasing the number of input keys, the letter with high frequency should be able to be easily input with just one press, and a method of inputting lattice or vowels with one or two input key operations is needed.

2. Character input from around the world is cumbersome enough to be incomparable with Korean. In addition to languages that use the Roman alphabet, including the European language, Chinese and the like use English letters to input their own languages using Roman characters as phonetic symbols. Most of these languages have additional alphabets and use symbols that match the pronunciation of each language, and the use of vowels is very high, but it's hard to solve everything with 12 keys. Moreover, it is very convenient to use consonants and vowels in a language that clearly distinguishes consonants and vowels. The use of the present twenty-six Roman keyboards for which these arrangements are not special is fitting.

Languages that use their own characters (for example, Russian, Arabic, Mongolian, Tibetan, Thai, Turkish, Hebrew, etc.) also use Roman and Arabic numerals. It is necessary to develop a universal character input method that uses the same keyboard format for all symbols, numbers, and unique characters, by applying the Hangul arrangement of Hangul, which has the world's most advanced scientific characters and language system. There is.

1. For Korean

In the case of vowels, it is possible to minimize the moving distance of the finger by arranging ㅐ (ㅐ) and ㅓㅜ (ㅔ) adjacent to ㅡ ㅣ as the default key of ㅏㅓㅗ ㅡ ㅡ (ㅐ ㅔ). Since the vowel does not enter the same vowel in succession, ㅑㅕㅛㅠ (ㅒ ㅖ) can be displayed by pressing or dragging ㅏㅓㅗ ㅐ ㅔ (한) one more time. It can be displayed in combination. In the case of consonants, place the basic consonant ㄱㄴㄷ ㅁㅁㅂ ㅅㅇㅎ (ㅎ) on the primary key, and press the low-key ㅋ ㅌㅊㅊ (ㅎ) and the low-key ㄱ (un) key two or three times, or use the stroke add key. I can display it. In the input device according to the present invention, the support begins with the letters a (ㄲ), ㅅ, ㅂ, ㄷ,, respectively, followed by ㄲ (ㅋ), ㅆ, ㅃ (ㅃ), ㄷ (ㅍ), (ㅈ) If you need to enter a letter, use the navigation keys or time delay. In this way, 18 frequently used letters can be entered only once and the other letters are entered only once. Therefore, with 20 input keys including consonants, vowels, strokes, move, and blank keys, you can enter Hangul quickly and easily with simple rules.

In the case of an input device with a drag function, when pressing each key and dragging in various directions, it is possible to display different letters, symbols, signs, and numbers, so that multiple letters or symbols can be input with one input key. For example, you can display ㄲ by holding down the a key and dragging in the right direction and dragging upwards. Drag the ㅏ key to the right to display ㅑ, continue dragging down to display ㅒ, hold down 드래그 and drag upwards to display ㅘ, or right and down to display the 대각선 diagonally. have. In a key with only one letter, such as ㄴ ㄹㅁ and ㅡ ㅣ, punctuation symbols such as.,?!,? /-＾, etc. can be arranged together.

In addition, the character input requires a punctuation symbol and a number of function keys. In the liquid crystal panel, fixed function keys are eliminated. Therefore, all characters are arranged together on the character input keyboard to be easy to use and have sufficient conditions as an independent character input device. In the general grid-like key arrangement as shown in FIG. 1, the size and visual recognition of the key cannot be changed depending on the purpose and function of the key, but when arranged as shown in FIG. 2, the vowel key, the consonant key, and the like The advantage is that the function keys can be distinguished and arranged. In other words, the 9 spaces in the middle are vowels and punctuation marks, the 12 spaces arranged in a circle around them are consonants, spaces and direction keys, and the 4 spaces at the corners are used as delate, back space, return and character switching keys. You can even place keys. (Figure 3) shows a variety of arrangements that can enter the Hangul alphabet and symbols, (Figure 4) is arranged by moving and adding additional keys to the user habits or preferred methods such as pressing and drag method Shows a Jamo array that can optionally be used.

2. Character input device for different languages

The present invention can be used as a dial for inputting characters of other languages instead of Korean, and can be widely used as a character input device for all languages of the world. All languages can be distinguished by consonants and vowels. Vowels are frequently used in any language. In the case of the Roman alphabet, the list of letters is displayed without distinction of the alphabet, and the vowel notation and the actual pronunciation are not constant, so it is not a habit to distinguish between consonants and vowels. However, most languages distinguish between consonants and vowels. List it. Chinese can be divided into mica and saint, Roman letters are used as phonetic symbols, and Japanese characters can be represented by a combination of consonants and vowels. In Japanese, all letters can be represented by a combination of one consonant and one vowel, but the vowel is only five a e u e o. Chinese mica can represent dozens of vowels in a combination of a e i o u and n ng. Most languages that use Roman characters are marked with additional signs in the vowels. Most languages that have their own characters also have a large number of characters, making it impossible to easily mark them with 12 buttons. Therefore, by separating the letters into consonants and vowels and increasing the number of input keys, it is much easier and faster to enter and easier to select words.

You can place Roman letters at the Korean consonant key position and place 9 vowels, numbers, punctuation marks, symbols, etc. in the middle of the vowels, and if you can drag them to display different letters or symbols depending on the direction, Can express ten letters. Therefore, with 21 input keys, you can display all the different capitalization, vowel codes, tones, etc. according to each language, or display the sign of a calculator. FIG. 5 shows an arrangement capable of displaying Roman numerals and numbers together, and FIG. 6 shows an example of arranging Roman symbols and symbols together. You can adjust the placement and numbering of the letters and symbols depending on how you use the tap and drag methods.

When the small character input device according to the present invention is used in the 21st century, which will mainly use liquid crystal compact devices such as mobile phones, PDAs, and navigation devices, it is possible to display not only Korean but also all languages and characters of the world easily and quickly. The unified world character input device can make a great contribution to the development and exchange of world civilization.
