Description

Japanese roma-ji keyboard input system

The present invention relates to a Japanese input keyboard keyboard and input method using Roman characters in various terminals such as a desktop PC, a notebook computer, a netbook, a tablet PC, a PDA, navigation, an MP3, a mobile phone, and a smartphone.

There are many Japanese input methods currently used, but the Kana input method and the Roman input method are the most representative, and the Roman input method is the most widely used.

However, in the case of the Roman input method, according to a study, the input strokes were reviewed for the 'Japanese Constitution Specialist', and the total number of strokes was 530 left and 945 out of 1475. . Since the keyboard uses two hands basically, alternating keys are used to input two hands alternately.However, in the Roman input method, the left hand (left hand) as well as the right hand (excellent) are used.同 手) It requires a lot of key, which causes finger fatigue and input speed decrease.

In particular, it is difficult to enter a note or a specific string containing the note (eg, you, yuu). For example, to enter き ょ う, you need to type k, y, o, u.同 手) Requires a gun.

Conventional techniques that can be used for alternating tackle include Yamato Narabe, and keyboards with separate consonants arranged on the left and right sides of the keyboard. Not only does it not allow you to enter, ャ-, ュ-, ョ-) at a time, but these are new layouts that are completely different from the previous ones. to be.

As described above, in the case of the conventional Roman input method, a so-called equal key is required a lot, which causes finger fatigue and a decrease in input speed. In particular, in the case of a note or a 'character string including the note', it requires a lot of excellent evenness cases, and it is difficult to input because there are many input strokes. The present invention aims to provide an efficient Japanese Roman input keyboard capable of inputting a specific character string collectively, but using left and right alternating keys, while maintaining the basic form of a conventional Roman input keyboard as much as possible. Alternately, the term "intersecting" means to cross each other, and to input a letter by using alternating left and right.

In order to achieve the above object, in an embodiment of the present invention, a Japanese Roman input keyboard keyboard is provided, and a plurality of keys on the keyboard can be set to be divided into left and right area keys, and the keyboard is a predetermined multiple If the multi-key is pressed after the consonant on the opposite side, a specific character string corresponding to a key code different from the basic key code is set so that a specific character string is inputted in one batch, but alternately after the consonant. It includes what you can do. Also preferably, the vowel keys of the keyboard may include a symmetrical arrangement. Also preferably, the specific character string may include a rhythm, 'a specific character string including a rhythm' or a soft vowel.

In order to achieve the above object, an embodiment of the present invention provides a Japanese Roman input keyboard keyboard of a terminal capable of inputting Japanese using Roman characters, wherein the keyboard keyboard includes a plurality of consonant keys and vowel keys. And a plurality of keys can be divided into left and right regions, and if a key opposite to the consonant key is operated while pressing and holding a predetermined predetermined consonant key, A specific character string assigned to the opposite key is set to be input, and the specific character string includes a double arrangement in the left and right regions.

In order to achieve the above object, an embodiment of the present invention provides a Japanese Roman input keyboard keyboard of a terminal capable of inputting Japanese using Roman characters, the keyboard keyboard including a consonant key and a vowel key. The plurality of keys can be divided into left and right area keys, and a boundary key between the left and right areas, and two types of key codes are assigned to the boundary key. And a basic key code and a second key code are assigned to the left and right range keys. When a user operates a specific consonant key and operates a key opposite to the consonant key, the character string assigned to the consonant key operation is successively connected. When a character string corresponding to the second key code of the opposite key is input, and the user manipulates the boundary key and the left field key, the character string is input to the right key code of the boundary key. After the corresponding character string is input, the character string assigned to the second key code of the left-hand area key is input, and when the user manipulates the boundary key and the superior area key, the character string is assigned to the left key code of the boundary key. After the inputted character string is input, the character string assigned to the second key code of the even-numbered area key is input.

In order to achieve the above object, an embodiment of the present invention provides a Japanese Roman keyboard input method for inputting Japanese using Roman characters in a terminal, the keyboard including a consonant key and a vowel key. A plurality of keys are divided into left and right regions, and when a vowel key is operated, a pre-assigned character string is input, and some of the plurality of keys are assigned a plurality of key codes. And a plurality of key codes including a basic key code and a second key code, wherein the multiple keys are arranged in the left and right regions twice, and subsequent to a predetermined specific consonant key operation. Is configured to input a character string assigned to the second key code of the multi-key following the input of the character string assigned to the specific consonant key operation when the other multi-key is operated. And, the specific character strings are input in one stroke, but it includes the one that can be entered in the alternating consecution subsequent to the consonant.

In order to achieve the above object, an embodiment of the present invention provides a Japanese Roman keyboard input method for inputting Japanese using Roman characters in a terminal, the keyboard including a consonant key and a vowel key. And the plurality of keys are divided into left and right regions, and the key opposite to the consonant key is operated while the predetermined consonant key is pressed and held in advance, followed by the consonant key. A specific character string assigned to is set to be input, and the specific character string includes a double arrangement in the left and right regions.

In order to achieve the above object, an embodiment of the present invention provides a Japanese Roman keyboard input method for inputting Japanese using Roman characters in a terminal, the keyboard including a consonant key and a vowel key. And a plurality of keys, each of which is divided into a left number and a good range key, and a boundary key between the left and right regions, and two types of key codes of left and right sides are assigned to the boundary key. The primary and second key codes are assigned to the and the even-area keys. When the user operates a specific consonant key and operates a key opposite to the consonant key, the opposite side is connected to the character string assigned to the consonant key operation. When the character string assigned to the second key code of the key is input, and the user manipulates the boundary key and the left-hand area key, the statement assigned to the right key code of the boundary key After inputting a string, a character string assigned to the second key code of the left-hand area key is input, and when a user manipulates the boundary key and the superior area key, the character string assigned to the left key code of the boundary key After the input, the character string assigned to the second key code of the even-numbered key is input.

According to the present invention, the number of strokes is reduced by collectively inputting a specific character string such as a note, 'a specific character string containing a yo' or a soft vowel, and this is inputted by the left and right alternating keys following the consonant, thereby providing a roman character. In Japanese keyboard input using the keyboard, finger fatigue will be reduced, and speed and efficiency will be improved.

While the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiments thereof are shown by way of example in the drawings and will herein be described in detail.

It should be understood, however, that the invention is not intended to be limited to the particular embodiments, but includes all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the invention.

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular example embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention. Singular expressions include plural expressions unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. In this application, the terms "comprise" or "have" are intended to indicate that there is a feature, number, step, operation, component, part, or combination thereof described in the specification, and one or more other features. It is to be understood that the present invention does not exclude the possibility of the presence or the addition of numbers, steps, operations, components, components, or a combination thereof.

Unless defined otherwise, all terms used herein, including technical or scientific terms, have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. Terms such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries should be interpreted as having a meaning consistent with the meaning in the context of the relevant art and are to be interpreted in an ideal or overly formal sense unless explicitly defined in the present application Do not.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a Japanese Roman alphabet input keyboard of various terminals provides a means for easily collectively inputting a predetermined character string by inputting alternately using left and right.

1 is a schematic diagram showing a Japanese input keyboard keyboard layout utilizing Roman characters according to the prior art. Except for some symbols, the layout is the same as the English QWERTY keyboard.

2 is a block diagram of a computer system capable of inputting Japanese using Roman characters, according to an embodiment of the present invention. When the user operates a specific key assigned to the Roman characters on the keyboard 14, a key code corresponding to the key operation is transmitted to the computer 11. In the computer 11, a control unit (not shown) including a CPU (central processing unit) is provided, and a software program such as an operating system and various application programs driven by the CPU operates. This includes a 'Japanese input application' (not shown) associated with the Japanese input keyboard of the present invention, which includes a Roman-Kana conversion program 12 and a key code conversion program 13. . The Japanese input application program, in cooperation with the operating system, receives and analyzes signals generated when operating keys on the keyboard alone or by a plurality of key combinations, analyzes them, and performs preassigned tasks. Performs a function to input a specific string desired by the user.

The Roman-Kana conversion program 12, such as the Microsoft Windows (registered trademark) IME, is a program that converts Roman characters to Japanese kana, and has a Roman-Kana conversion table. According to the table, the entered Roman characters are converted into Japanese kana.

The singular or plural keycodes transmitted from the keyboard 14 are converted into specific keycodes designated in advance by the keycode conversion program 13 of the computer 11, if necessary, and then Roman-Kana. The conversion program 12 (Japanese conversion program) converts the kana into final kana according to the roman-kana conversion table. The input result is displayed on the monitor 10 connected with the computer 11.

3 is a layout view showing an arrangement of basic key codes of a keyboard according to an embodiment of the present invention. First, the keyboard keyboard is divided into left-handed (left hand) area and right-handed (right hand) area. For example, when referring to the same good area, if it refers to the same good area, it refers to the 'east' and the opposite left area. In case of doing so, it is referred to as 'the opposite side'.

The basic vowels (a, i, u, e, o) are arranged to the left and right to have a symmetrical structure, except for e, the vowels can be found at the position of the conventional Roman input keyboard. The consonants have changed in part, preserving the possible arrangement of existing Roman input keyboards, except for r and w, which are identical to the positions of existing Roman keyboards. r is located at the L position with a similar pronunciation, and w is moved to the side by one, which is easy to learn.

In addition, special keys (S1, S2), nn (ん), and xtu (tactile っ) were added. The special key serves to input a special note that is frequently used in foreign words and onomatopoeia. The nn (ん) and xtu keys are used to enter 'ん' and tac 'っ' respectively.

In addition, not only the basic keycode but also another keycode is assigned to a specific keyboard. In describing the present invention (including claims), a key or keyboard to which a plurality of key codes are assigned in this way is referred to as a "multi-key". In this embodiment, w, z, s, x, d, t, g, b, y, h, n, m, k, r, p, S1, S2, ... (comma) ),。 (Period) and? (Dot) are set to multiple keys. In the present embodiment, when the multi-key is consecutively inputted on the opposite side of a predetermined specific consonant key input, a key code other than the default key code is input. The predetermined specific consonant key is w, s, z, d, t, g, b, y, h, n, m, k, r, p. The multi-key can be arranged in the left and right regions twice, so that a specific character string can be input by alternating keys, regardless of which consonant key is pressed on the keyboard. By dual arrangement, for example, means that the singular or plural multiple keys arranged in the left-hand area are identically or similarly arranged again in the even area.

For example, pressing p, the consonant key belonging to the even region, converts the keycode table to you on the other side, that is, the s key, which is one of the multiple keys in the left-hand region. This is described in more detail below.

6 is a detailed flowchart of a Japanese input process utilizing Roman characters, according to an embodiment of the present invention. When a specific consonant key on the keyboard is pressed (S21), the consonant key code of the consonant key is input, and then the process determines whether the specific consonant key is pressed alone or if a special key input has been preceded ( S22). If the consonant key is pressed consecutively to the special key, the keycode conversion program installed in the computer converts and sets the keycode table of the opposite multi-key according to the third keycode table as shown in Table 1 (S24). Proceed to step 25. If the specific consonant key is pressed alone without being preceded by a special key input, the key codes of the opposite multiple keys are converted and set according to the second key code table as shown in Table 1 (S23). The opposite side is determined based on whether the specific consonant key pressed in S21 is an excellent region or a left-hand region. The process then waits for successively determining whether the vowel key or the opposite multiple key is pressed. If the vowel key is pressed (S25), a key code corresponding to the vowel key is generated (S29), and the Japanese conversion program is executed. After the Japanese characters are converted and input according to the Roman-Kana conversion table, the process proceeds to step 28. If the opposite multiple key is pressed (S26), the converted keycode is generated according to the converted keycode table (second or third) (S27). After that, Japanese is also converted and inputted by the Japanese conversion program, and the key codes of the opposite multiple keys are returned to the original key codes (basic key codes) (S28). If neither the vowel key nor the opposing multiple key is pressed, the process returns to step 25, where it waits for the key input.

In the description of the present invention (including claims), the original or default keycode is basically set in a default state, not a keycode that is changed under specific conditions, such as the second and third keycodes. Say the keycode. Table 1 summarizes the basic keycodes of the multiple keys and the contents of the second and third keycode tables. However, for example, a keycode indicated by k is not strictly k, but rather means a particular keycode that 'predefines k to be entered if the keycode is passed to the computer', but for convenience, denoted by k, Describe (including other keyboards). In addition, the S1 and S2 keys are not actually 'S1', 'S2' is input, it means that a specific specific key code corresponding to S1, S2 is generated.

To make the above description more general, first, when a vowel key is operated, a character string previously assigned to the operation is input. Further, following a predetermined predetermined consonant key operation, if a multiple key opposite to the consonant key is operated, the character string assigned to the second key code of the multi-key following the input of the string assigned to the specific consonant key operation Is entered. For example, tapping the s key alone enters the default keycode s. However, if the consonants are entered consecutively, the second key code, you, is entered. In this embodiment, the operation is described as pressing a key. However, in another embodiment, the keyboard may be a keyboard displayed on the screen, in which case the operation of pressing a key is a tap, as well as including various gestures. The gesture includes a slide or flick. The slides, flicks, and tabs have been commercially available for a long time and do not describe their meanings.

However, S1 * and S1 * generate the specific keycode

In other words, when a predetermined predetermined consonant key is pressed, the key code table of the opposite multiple key is converted. When the consonant key is pressed by itself, the second key code is used as the second key code. 3 Keycodes are converted.

The arrangement of the second key code table is as shown in Fig. 4, and since the basic bar (a, i, u, e, o) is not a multi-key, there is no change, but is displayed together for convenience. As a result, the user can select one of 15 keys on the opposite side after pressing a specific consonant. In addition to the basic vowel, the user can enter the main sound (lowercase letters ゃ, ゅ, ょ) in one stroke. In addition, it is possible to collectively input a certain character string (요 う, ゅ う, ャ-, ュ-, ョ-) containing the yo-yo. In addition, ai and ou with a high frequency of occurrence are also collectively inputted among vowels (double vowels) in which vowels are successively input.

For example, if p is pressed and the left-handed area s is pressed in succession, the computer recognizes that pyou has been entered, and the Japanese conversion program converts it to Japanese, and the result is displayed on the screen. On the contrary, if you press z, which is the left-hand area, and enter k, which is the even area, consecutively, zyuu is recognized as input and じ ゅ う is displayed on the screen. Also, yy is recognized as y. For example, if y is pressed and s is pressed, yyou, that is, you are entered, and よ う is entered. Capital letters や, よ, ゆ, よ う, ゆ う, ヤ-, ヨ-, ユ-can be entered by pressing y and then pressing the corresponding left multi-key, or may be input by a conventional Roman input method. For example, in the case of inputting よ う, y, o, u may be input by a conventional Roman input method, and y, s or y, z may be input according to this method.あ い and お, starting with line あ, are entered using the conventional Roman input method. When inputting a character string including lowercase consonants, such as し ゃ, し, し ゅ, the input is performed using the method of the present invention, rather than using y as in the conventional Roman input method. For example, し ゃ is entered as s, m, not s, y, a.

In addition, when inputting a lowercase letter alone, x is used in a conventional Roman input method. Since the basic vowels (a, i, u, e, o) are not multi-keys, the keys of any of the left and right areas can be freely input according to the user's convenience.

As a result, while maintaining the basic layout of the conventional Roman input keyboard as much as possible, it is possible to input both kanas as left and right alternating keys, as well as to create a specific string including a note, 'a certain string including the note', You can enter the tarot as a batch, but you can enter it as an alternation. Therefore, after inputting consonants, the user can efficiently input Japanese in the sense that 15 special vowel keys are arranged on the opposite side.

Next, the special key will be described. The special keys S1 and S2 allow input of a special note, and are generally known as 'foreign key'. As described above, when a specific consonant is followed by a special key, the key code of the opposite multiple key is converted into a third key code, and the arrangement thereof is as shown in FIG. Since the basic vowels (a, i, u, e, o) are not multiple keys, they do not change but are displayed together for convenience. The third key code deletes you, yuu, ai, and ou among the second key codes, and instead, a-, i-, e-, and o- which frequently appear in foreign words or onomatopoes are placed to include a long sound (-). Special notes can be easily entered. Special sounds that use u- like く 가-are rarely used, so u- is excluded. Examples of special note input using the S1 key are summarized in Table 3 (note keys with long notes omitted).

Most people press S1 once and then press a specific consonant, but for special notes beginning with と, ど press S1 twice. As a specific example, as shown in Table 3, when S1, k and a are pressed in succession, registration is set in the Roman-Kana conversion table of the Japanese conversion program so that く ぁ is inputted.

t * and d * press the S1 key twice.

Table 4 summarizes some examples of special note input including long sound. For example, when S1, k, and s are pressed in succession, S1, k, and o- are recognized as input, and the Japanese conversion program converts to Ku- and finally inputs them.

The special sounds using S2 are summarized in Table 5, and are mainly used for input of note sounds beginning with い, such as き, し, ち. Also, S2 is pressed once and then a specific consonant is pressed, but S2 is pressed twice to enter a special note starting with つ. For example, if you press t, o twice in S2, つ ぉ is entered. The sound containing the long sign (-) can be input in the same way as the input method using S1.

t * press t 2 times.

In the above table, it is included to include all the special sounds that are rarely used on a daily basis, but this is only an example, and in practice, it is preferable to arrange and use special sounds that are frequently used according to the user's convenience. Also, it is not necessary to additionally set special keys. For example, it is also possible to designate a specific consonant on the ipsilateral side of the input consonant to serve as a special key. For example, specify s in the left-hand area and r in the even field as a special key.For example, if you press d, s, a consecutively, ど ぁ is input, and if you press k, r, a consecutively, 〈ぁ is entered. to be.

As a result, the basic vowel, the rhythm, the 'specific string including the yo' and the specific vowel can be entered in one stroke, and it has a symmetrical structure, so that the consonant key is either left-handed area or excellent area. It is possible to input in the same sense without having to memorize the layout, and they all have a big feature that they can be input by right and left alternating keys. In addition, since the basic form of the conventional Roman input keyboard is maintained as much as possible, the user may easily memorize the input method of the present invention with little learning, rather than memorizing a completely new keyboard. Other input methods are the same as those of the conventional Roman input keyboard.

As a specific example of the above input method, it is as summarized in Table 6. For example, when 巧妙 (こ う み ょ う) is input by the conventional Roman input method, the number of excellent hits in a total of 7 hits is 7 It is very inconvenient that all the keystrokes are made of excellent consecutive keystrokes. However, according to the present invention, by utilizing the vowel keys in the left hand area, the total number of strokes is significantly reduced as a total of 4 strokes and 2 excellent strokes, and it is very easy to input the left and right alternate keys.

(1) The number in parentheses is good at bats

2. k i k o k u * and m i n i k u i *: When using left-hand collection

In the above-described embodiment, the sound string and 'specific string including the sound' (ょ う, ゅ う, ャ-, ュ-, ョ-) and the vowels are properly arranged so as to efficiently input the rhythm. It is only possible to place various strings in various forms. According to one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 7, you and yuu are not disposed separately, but are arranged on a keyboard such as yo- and yu-, respectively. In hiragana input mode or when converting to hiragana, you or yuu are input respectively, and in katakana input mode or when converting, yu- or yo- is input respectively (flow is omitted). You and yuu are mainly used for entering hiragana, and yu- and yo- are mainly used for typing Katakana. Instead, the remaining vowel space can be further utilized by utilizing the remaining keyboard space. In this embodiment, ei and uu are additionally arranged.

In the above embodiment, the basic vowel keys (a, i, u, e, o) have been rearranged to be symmetrical, but it is also possible to use the rest of the keyboard while leaving the vowel arrangement of the conventional Roman input keyboard. In the above embodiment, the key code of the multiple keys is converted by a key code conversion program installed in the computer, but the microprocessor installed in the keyboard generates the key code by converting it at all, or the key code itself is not changed, but the Japanese conversion is performed. The same effect as the above embodiment can be obtained in various ways, such as by setting a program so that a different kana character string is input.

Although a conventional computer keyboard has been described as an example, the keyboard keyboard in the present invention is not limited to an independent mechanical keyboard, and in various information processing devices such as various notebooks, PDAs, table PCs, smartphones, or the like, a keyboard It includes all the input devices that can input Japanese in a manner.

In particular, in the case of a portable terminal such as a smart phone, unlike a computer, due to the narrow space on the screen, the user does not use all 10 fingers, but usually inputs with both thumbs. But it also requires a lot of comrades. For example, in the case of myuu, it is very difficult to input four consecutive even-matched comrades in a row, but if you use the present invention, you can press m, d. Input is possible.

According to one embodiment, as shown in Fig. 8, 9, 10, in the keyboard on the screen of a portable terminal having a touch screen such as a tablet PC, it can be utilized in almost the same manner as the above-described embodiment. In this case, the computer system shown in Fig. 2 corresponds to one integrated computer or terminal in this embodiment. In addition, the keyboard of FIG. 2 corresponds to a keyboard on the screen displayed on the touch screen of the terminal, and the monitor of FIG. 2 corresponds to the touch screen. In addition, as in the case of Figure 2, the terminal is provided with a control unit (not shown) including a CPU (central processing unit), the software program such as an operating system (operating system) and various application programs driven by the CPU It's working. This includes a "Japanese input application program" associated with the Japanese input keyboard of the present invention, which includes a Roman-Kana conversion program and a key code conversion program. The Japanese input application program, in cooperation with the operating system, receives and analyzes signals generated when operating keys on the keyboard alone or by a plurality of key combinations, analyzes them, and performs preassigned tasks. Performs a function to input a specific string desired by the user. The 'manipulation' of the key includes not only a single tap, but also a variety of gestures such as slides and flicks. It includes the operation performed in the state pressed and held.

The singularity of this embodiment different from the above-mentioned embodiment is described as follows. First, the position of the conventional Roman keyboard is maintained as it is. Blank keyboards that do not display their contents are various function keys such as space, enter key, and symbol switch. The tactile sound (っ) is input by pressing the same consonant (except y and n) twice in succession (e.g. tt), and enter ん as nn (same as the Roman input method). Fig. 9 is a layout diagram of the second keycode, and when the consonants other than x are pressed, the opposite multiple keys are converted to the second keycode. The basic vowels (a, i, u, e, o) of the "original position" (the position shown in Fig. 1) on the conventional Roman keyboard are not displayed but are displayed together for convenience. 9 is symmetric except for underlined e, i. The third key code is not provided separately. When inputting consecutively to a specific consonant, e, i may utilize the keyboard of the original position on a conventional Roman input keyboard, or may utilize the keyboard provided by the opposite 2nd key code by this invention. In addition, yu- and yo- are collectively entered as yu- and yo- when converting to katakana input mode or kitakana, but yuu and you are collectively entered as hiragana. As a result, for example, as shown in Fig. 10, when k (circle display) is pressed with an excellent thumb (tap), the key code table of the multiple keys on the opposite side, i.e., the left-hand area, is converted to the second key code. It is possible to input the desired string simply by one stroke in the sense that one of the vowel keys is selected. The contents of the second key code may be displayed on the screen during the first practice, and then memorized and inputted. For example, in hiragana mode, when k and f are pressed in succession, キ ゅ う is collectively input, and when it is converted to katakana, キ ュ-is input. Foreign sounds (special sounds) can be input in the same manner as in the above embodiment using the S1 and S2 keys. In the present embodiment, another input method is provided, for example, when a is pressed while pressing and holding k (without tapping and releasing), wa is input instead of a. As a result, in the terminal, key codes of k and wa are generated, and ku ぁ is input by the Japanese conversion program. That is, when another key is pressed while the consonant key is being pressed, a predetermined foreign sound is input in accordance with the permutation. This not only reduces the number of strokes, but also supplements the S1 key function to allow the input of a special note (external sound) more conveniently.

In addition, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, in addition to the character strings input in a batch, a long sound symbol (-), a sound, and a tactile sound っ may be provided in succession.

That is, a string input when a vowel key or a specific multiple key is manipulated in the form of a specific gesture is not only a character string input when the vowel key or a multiple key is tapped, but also a specific character string that is additionally input after this. In addition, the additional input specific character string includes at least one of a long sign (-), a tactile (xtu; っ), and nn (ん). Specifically, in the second key code, not only the function of tapping when pressing any one of the eight keyboards of a, i, u, e, o, ya, yo, and yu, but also flicks. Alternatively, the ability to slide is supported. In the eight keyboards, the second keycode is not only generated by tapping the keyboard, but also includes a keycode generated by a slide or flick, according to a specific manner of gestures such as the slide or flick ( For example, a specific direction), a predetermined key code assigned in advance is input. The technique of inputting a specific character string by sliding or flicking a specific keyboard is already commercially available and thus will not be described. In addition, the default bar (a, i, u, e, o) is not only the position of the second key code, but also the vowel keyboard of the original position, in the default state, the default key code, not only tabs, but also slides. Alternatively, it is preferable to set the keycode inputted by the flick. For example, four basic key codes of the a key are provided, and when the key is tapped, the a key is assigned so that a is inputted, and if the user slides up or down (or flicks) the key codes of a-, ann, and axtu, respectively, to be input. Assign. Further, when the c key is operated in succession to the opposite consonant input, the second key code is input. Specifically, when the c key is pressed, yu is input, and when the c key is slided up or down (or flick), respectively, Assign keycodes to generate keycodes of-, yunn, yuxtu. In this case, four types of second key codes are provided. However, yu- is a case of katakana input, and yuu occurs at hiragana input. As a result, for example, if k is pressed to even, then flicks or slides upward on the a keyboard with the left-handed finger, the terminal recognizes that ka- is input, and in Japanese conversion program かConvert to and enter. Also, if you press k and flick or slide to the right from a keyboard, kaxtu is recognized as input and か っ is entered. If you flick or slide down from a keyboard, kann is entered. It is recognized as being done and か ん is inputted. You can also press g (tab) and flick or slide to the right in the m keyboard to enter ぎ ょ っ, and if you flick or slide up, you will enter, う. When converting, the input is input. The channel can be input even if g and k are successively tapped.

As a result, for example, to input く ん, k, u, n, n are conventionally required, and even four consecutive equal numbers are required. In this system, k is pressed and flicks down from the r keyboard. All you have to do is slide it, and you can simply enter it as two alternating guns.

As a result, after tapping a specific consonant, not only can the 13 character strings be alternately inputted in an alternate key, but also the eight keyboards of a, i, u, e, o, ya, yo, and yu in three directions. Flick or slide function is added, and 21 (24-3 = 21) input options are added except for three overlapping items (ya-, yu-, yo-). It offers 34 different input options, which can be entered with just one tare, even left and right alternated.

In addition, if you want to input the contents of the second key code in uppercase alone, c keyboard can be used. c When the keyboard is pressed and the second key code on the opposite side is input, the Japanese conversion program is set so that the Japanese of the second key code is input as it is. For example, if you press c and then y, c, ou is entered, and the Japanese conversion program converts it to お う. If you enter c and j consecutively, ゆ う is entered. As described in the above embodiments, a method of inputting a key code corresponding to y, u or y, y, u is also possible.

In addition, when the S1 key is pressed for a long time, the input method of the present invention is deactivated, and the method returns to the conventional Roman type method, and when the S1 key is pressed for a long time, the input method of the present invention can be set to be activated.

In one embodiment, a double vowel (a soft vowel), such as ai, ou, can be set to be input by sliding or flicking on a specific vowel key. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, when the o keyboard is slid up, oi is input, and when it is slid right, ou is input. This can be used not only in the a, i, u, e, o keyboard converted to the second key code, but also in the original position of the conventional Roman input keyboard, so that it can be input by left and right alternating keys following a specific consonant.

According to an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, a special sound may be input in a slide (or flick) manner. The specific character string input when the vowel key or multiple keys are manipulated in the form of a specific gesture includes not only a character string input when the vowel or multiple keys are tapped, but also a specific character string additionally inputted thereto. The specific string to be included includes any one of s, h, y, and w. In this case, the additionally input specific character string is input before the character string input when the vowel or the multi-key is tapped. In other words, after tapping a specific consonant, if you slide (or flick) from the opposite vowel key (the original position or the second keycode), a predetermined specific keycode that can input a special note following the consonant keycode is entered. Is entered. For example, if you press t and slide or flick to the right on the opposite i or S2 keyboard, t, hi is entered, て ぃ is entered, and if you slide or flick down, t, wi is entered, と ぃIs entered. That is, in the case of the i keyboard, when the user slides (or flicks) up, down, left, and right, key codes of si, wi, yi, and hi are generated. This can be used not only in the original position of the conventional Roman input keyboard, but also in a, i, u, e, and o keyboards converted to the second key code, so that it is possible to input a left and right alternate key following a specific consonant.

In the above example, a method of sliding sideways (or flicking) is included. However, in the case of a keyboard having a narrow left and right space such as a smartphone, it may be set to utilize only a function of sliding up or down (or flicking). According to one embodiment, for example, in FIG. 12, in the i keyboard, only the method of sliding up or down (or flick) is provided, and the method of sliding left or right (or flick) is deleted. In this case, another input method is provided. When a certain key (for example, a vowel key) is slid (or flicked) while pressing and holding a specific consonant, the slide (or flick) as well as the key code of the specific consonant According to the method, a predetermined string is input in succession. That is, when another key is operated while the specific key is pressed and held, a specific character string pre-assigned to the combination is input according to the operation contents of the specific key and the other key, and the key operation is not only a simple tab. Various gestures such as slides (or flicks) are included (flow is also omitted). For example, if the i keyboard is slid (or flicked) up and down while the consonant key is being pressed, hi and yi are input in succession to the key code of the consonant, respectively. As a result, when the t key is pressed (after release) and the user slides up or down on the i keyboard (or flicks), as described above, Tsu and To are input, respectively, but the t key is pressed and held. , I slide (or flick) up or down on the keyboard to enter て ぃ and ち ぃ respectively.

According to an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, a special sound note (external sound) may be input by using a consonant key. The specific character string input when the consonant key is operated in the form of a specific gesture includes the consonant and a specific character string additionally inputted in succession, and the additionally input specific character string is any one of s, h, y, and w. It includes. Specifically, when a specific consonant key is manipulated, a key code of a character string capable of inputting a predetermined special note is input, and the opposite multiple key is converted into a second key code, and the key operation is a slide (or flick). Include. For example, if you slide (or flick) the t keyboard up, down, left, and right, the key codes of ts, tw, ty, and th are input, respectively, and you can enter special notes starting with つ, と, て and ち respectively. The opposite multiple key is converted into a second key code. Specifically, when the t keyboard is slid to the right and s is pressed, it is recognized that th and i specified in advance are input, respectively, and te is input. If the keyboard is narrow, such as a smartphone, it is preferable to use the S1 and S2 keys instead of sliding (or flicking) the left and right. For example, if S1, t, i is pressed, the text input is input, and if S2, t, i is pressed, the input is input. Of course, you can set the S1 key to slide or flick itself. For example, simply tap S1 and tap t, i to enter ち ぃ, slide up (or flick) the S1 key (S-up), tap t, i to convert to つ ぃ Japanese conversion You can set the program.

If the slide (or flick) technology is used as it is in the conventional Roman input keyboard, inconvenience may occur due to the same number of shots, but the present invention enables the right and left alternating shots to be performed very efficiently.

In the above technique, although a specific character string is assigned and input based on a specific direction of a slide (or flick), this is one example, and according to a predetermined gesture of some form, alone or in combination. You can set a specific string to be entered.

In the above embodiment, when the consonant key is pressed, the key code of the opposite multi-key is converted at the second other key, but the key code of the multiple key of the i-side may be set to be converted together.

FIG. 14 shows another embodiment in which a specific predetermined character string can be quickly inputted in batches by alternately using left and right numbers. In a Japanese Roman input keyboard keyboard of a terminal capable of inputting Japanese by utilizing a Roman character, a plurality of keys on the keyboard are divided into left and right regions, and the predetermined consonant key is pressed while the predetermined consonant key is pressed. When the key opposite to the key is operated, the consonant is set so that a specific character string assigned to the opposite key is input in succession, and the specific character string is arranged in the left and right regions twice. In other words, when a certain consonant key is pressed and held (tap), the specific key on the opposite side is tapped, followed by the consonant, and the specific character strings pre-assigned to the specific key are collectively inputted and converted into Japanese by the Japanese conversion program. And finally input. The specific string may include a note and 'a specific string including the yo', and specifically, ya, yu, yo, ya-, yu- / yuu and yo- / you may be assigned to the keyboard and assigned to the keyboard. The left and right are arranged in a double, and arranged to be symmetrical left and right. Again, yu- and yo- are for katakana input, and yuu and you are input for hiragana input. For example, when d is pressed while k is pressed, the terminal recognizes that k and yuu have been input (in the case of hiragana input), and is converted into Ki by the Japanese conversion program. In addition, when o is pressed while s is pressed, し ょ is input collectively. The foreign language can be input as it is in the conventional Roman input method. As a result, in the conventional Roman alphabet input method, the number of strokes, which is difficult to input due to the same number of strokes, can be very easily inputted with only two strokes by efficiently utilizing left and right strings and strings including the same. In addition, the specific character string of the keyboard is not only arranged in the left and right double, but arranged in a symmetrical structure, it is very easy to learn and utilize. For example, in order to input キ ュ-, the conventional Roman input method requires 'kyu-' to be input. According to this, simply press d with the left hand while k is pressed with even, and Kiuki is inputted, and it is only necessary to convert it to katakana. If another key is pressed while the specific key is pressed, the technician body performing the predetermined specific function is not commercially described since it is a commercially available technology in computer keyboards.

As mentioned above, although the embodiment which preserved the form of the conventional keyboard keyboard is described, the embodiment of the present invention provides a form in which the number of keyboards arranged on one line of the keyboard is reduced by one.

In the Japanese Roman input keyboard keyboard of the terminal capable of inputting Japanese by using the Roman characters, the keyboard keyboard has a plurality of keys including a consonant key and a vowel key, and the plurality of keys are left and right regions. A key and a boundary key between the left and right regions, and two types of key codes of left and right sides are allocated to the boundary keys, and a basic key code and a second key code are allocated to the left and right region keys. When the user manipulates a specific consonant key and operates a key opposite to the consonant key, the character string assigned to the second key code of the opposite key is input following the string assigned to the consonant key operation. When the boundary key is operated and the left field key is operated, a character string allocated to the right key code of the boundary key is input, and then a character assigned to the second key code of the left field key. Is input, and when the user manipulates the boundary key and manipulates the even area key, the character string assigned to the left key code of the boundary key is input, and then the character string assigned to the second key code of the even area key is To be entered.

Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 15, the keyboard keyboard is divided into a left area key, an even area key, and a center boundary key. The boundary keys (t / y, g / h, v / b) have a left key code and a right key code. For example, t / y has t as a left key code and y as a right key code. Fig. 16 is a second key code arrangement diagram, and the boundary keys do not correspond. If the opposite key is pressed after the consonant keys other than x are pressed, the basic keycodes of the consonant key and the opposite key are first inputted, and then the keycode conversion program recognizes that the opposite key is entered in succession to the consonant key, The opposite keycode is converted into the second keycode (flow diagram is omitted). This is a very similar way to setting up multiple keys in the above embodiment.

Referring to Fig. 17, when the user presses the boundary key (S31), after the key code (e.g. t / y) of the boundary key is input, the process waits for monitoring whether the left or even area key is pressed.

If the left-hand area key is pressed (S32), after the basic key code of the key is input, the process determines whether or not the boundary key pressed in S31 is successively inputted (continuous input) following the previous input of the same boundary key. If it is not (S38), if it is not continuous input, it is determined that it is pressed by itself only once, and the key code of the boundary key is converted into the right key code (S40), and the key code of the input left-hand area key corresponds to A second key code is converted and input (S41).

S42 then converts it to Japanese and enters it, and the process ends.

If it is determined in S38 that the same boundary key has been input two times in succession, the boundary key keycode inputted twice is converted into two times of the right key code (S39), and the process proceeds to S41.

If the superior area key is pressed in succession to the boundary key input S31 (S33), after the basic key code of the key is input, the process inputs the same boundary key that is preceded by the boundary key pressed in S31. (S34), and if it is not continuous input, it is determined that it is pressed once, and the key code of the boundary key is converted into the left key code and input (S36). The keycode is converted into the corresponding second keycode (S37). S42 then converts it to Japanese and enters it, and the process ends.

If it is determined in S34 that the same boundary key has been input two times in succession, the boundary key keycode inputted twice is converted into two inputs of the left key code (S35), and the process proceeds to S37.

In other words, in the present embodiment, when a specific keycode permutation is input by the user, the keycode conversion program converts the keycode if necessary according to the algorithm of the process set in advance, and then finally inputs it into Japanese by the Japanese conversion program. do. For example, when the boundary key is pressed and the left area key is pressed, the right key code and the second key code are input to the boundary key and the left area key, respectively. Specifically, when the t / y key is pressed and w is pressed, y, which is the right key code and o, which is the second key code of w, is input, and is converted into yo in the Japanese conversion program. In addition, if the left and right area keys are pressed after the boundary key is input twice in succession, the key codes as described above are generated according to which of the left and right areas, but the right or left key codes of the boundary keys are input twice. For example, if k, a, t / y, t / y, and o are input, the terminal determines that the right region key is input after two boundary key inputs. It is input twice, o (unchanged) which is the second key code of the o key is input, katto is input, and katatsu is finally input by the Japanese conversion program.

In the operation of the left area key, the even area key, and the center boundary key, input methods using gestures such as not only tabs but also slides (or flicks) are supported. That is, the left and right key codes of the boundary key and the second key codes of the left and right area keys include not only a key code input when tapping, but also a key code input when sliding (or flicking).

More specifically, when the left key area key is operated after the boundary key is operated, the key code generated by the boundary key is converted into the right key code, and the key code generated by the left area key is converted into the 'second key code. For example, if you slide the t / y keyboard to the right and slide the i-best region up, the terminal generates key codes corresponding to t / y-right and i-up. After the boundary key operation, the superior area key is recognized as being operated, and among the t / y-right, the left key code is converted into t-right and the second key code of i-up is i-up (unchanged). . As a result, th and i-, which are pre-assigned key codes, are inputted, and the Japanese conversion program converts and inputs て ぃ-. In addition, ょ う, ゅ う, ャ-, ュ-, ョ-, which are input after the consonants, are input by sliding (or flicking) the keyboard to which ya, yo, and yu are assigned, similarly to the above-described embodiment. do.

As a result, in the above-described embodiment, not only is the Japanese input efficiency improved by the left and right alternating strokes but also the number of keyboards arranged in a row decreases from 10 to 9, and the width of one keyboard is expected to increase by 11.1%. Can be. Discomfort due to the narrow width of the keyboard has been recognized for a long time in a small terminal, such as a smart phone, but can be said to be an urgent and practical problem that has not been solved.

In the above description, an example in which a predetermined specific character string is input to the various key manipulation methods disclosed in the above description is described. However, this is merely an example, and various specific character strings can be assigned to the various key manipulation methods. Indeed, it will be apparent to one of ordinary knowledge that there are numerous combinations.

Although the technical spirit of the present invention has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings, this is intended to describe exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of example and not to limit the present invention. In addition, it is a matter of course that various modifications and variations are possible without departing from the scope of the technical idea of the present invention by anyone having ordinary skill in the art.
