The editing unit 122 can freely edit a predetermined divided space (e.g., a rectangular image frame) in which a symbol image is represented and a space segment (e.g., space division for distinguishing the initial, neutral, (Space editing function during input / output process).

In one embodiment, the input unit 110 is used for inputting character or numerical information of a desired language for a user to output a symbol image (display or printer output, etc.) It is used to input.

In another embodiment, the input unit 110 is used to input a symbol image in which the user desires to output characters (e.g., display or printer output) in a language or a number of languages, and also inputs an edit command for a symbol image input by the user .

In another embodiment, the input unit 110 may include a predetermined segmented space (e.g., a rectangular image frame) in which a desired symbol image can be displayed, and a space segment (e.g., Is used for inputting an editing command for a space division for distinguishing a plurality of images.

The input unit 110 may include a keypad, a touch screen unit, a mouse pad, a mouse, and an optical pen. Of course, it is also possible to input the character / number input inputted from the touch screen unit by using the keypad, and to input the character / number input inputted from the keypad by using the touch screen unit. The application of the present invention may be a device having only a keypad or a device having only a touch screen part, or a device having both a keypad and a touch screen part.

The keypad is composed of a plurality of key buttons for inputting numbers and special characters or characters. In addition, a function button and a general button for storing, modifying or recalling inputted letters / numbers are further provided, and a function of an intermediary for transmitting a user's instruction to the control unit 120 is performed. When a user applies a predetermined pressure to a character (consonant, vowel) / number key by using a hand or the like (or when a micro current is applied or the user perceives the operation by the sensor), the keypad is required to recognize the corresponding character / The control unit 120 checks the character / numeric code data corresponding to the applied key data in the storage unit 130 and maps the character / numeric code data to the character / And outputs the extracted symbol image to the output unit 140 or the printer. The hard key configuration of the keypad for inputting characters or numbers, and the character / number recognition and combination method through the keypad can be configured in accordance with the known technology, and thus a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

When a user applies a predetermined pressure to characters (consonants, vowels) / numbers on the upper surface of the panel using a writing instrument or the like such as a hand or a stylus pen, the touch screen unit inputs object / The control unit 120 generates data necessary for numerical recognition, that is, touch screen data, and transmits the data to the control unit 120. The control unit 120 confirms the character / numeric code data corresponding to the applied touch screen data in the storage unit 130, Extracts a symbol image mapped to the numeric code data, and displays it on the output unit 140 or outputs it to the printer. The soft key configuration of the touch screen unit for inputting characters or numbers and the character / number recognition and combination method through the touch screen unit can be configured in accordance with a known technology, and thus a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The storage unit 130 stores a program for driving the functions processed by the control unit 120, a convenience program for the user, and a predetermined program for implementing various basic functions.

In particular, the storage unit 130 has character / numeric code data corresponding to key data or touch screen data input by the embodiment of the present invention and symbol images mapped thereto. The symbol image mapped to the character / number code data will be described later.

The output unit 140 performs a display or a printer output operation under the control of the control unit 120. In one embodiment, the symbol image information output to the output unit 140 is information corresponding to the character / number information input through the input unit 110. That is, when the user inputs a character / number, the corresponding character / number code data is extracted and the symbol image mapped thereto is output and displayed on the display screen of the output unit 140 or output to the printer. In another embodiment, the character / number information output to the output unit 140 is information corresponding to the symbol image information input through the input unit 110. That is, when the user inputs a symbol image, the symbol image is analyzed and the corresponding character / number code data is extracted and the symbol image mapped to the symbol image is output and displayed on the display screen of the output unit 140 or printed out.

For example, in the Hangeul input mode, the total number of consonant consonants in Hangul can be expressed by a total of 19, so that the number of consonants of '14' , '' ',' ㄸ ',' ㅎ ') and five consonants (' ㄲ ',' ㄸ ',' ㅃ ' , 'ㅆ', and 'ㅉ'). In addition, since the number of vowels in neutral can be expressed by a total of 21, this neutral is composed of 10 short vowels ('a', 'ㅓ', 'ㅗ', 'ㅜ', 'ㅡ', 'ㅣ', ' , 'ㅔ', 'ㅟ', 'ㅘ', 'ㅟ', 'ㅘ', 'ㅙ', '' ', and' ㅚ ',' ㅝ ',' ㅞ ',' ㅟ ',' ㅢ '). In addition, since the number of consonants of the consonant can be expressed by a total of 27, this consonant is composed of 14 terminal sounds, 5 consonants and 11 lexicals ('ㄳ', 'ㄵ', 'ㄶ', 'ㄺ', 'ㄻ' , 'ㄽ', 'ㄾ', 'ㄿ', 'ㅀ', 'ㅄ').

Thus, the symbol image editing apparatus 100 interprets characters (including numerals) in a language (Korean, English, etc.) as a symbol image or a symbol image and outputs it as characters (including numbers) in the corresponding language. As described above, the symbol image corresponding to the Hangul characters is a symbolically expressed letter or number of the language, and is a predetermined partitioned space (e.g., a rectangular image frame) representing at least one Hangul character (at least one syllable) (Space division) in which at least one is arranged in a part of the divided space. This symbol is a simplified form of a point, line, or surface that is identified from empty space by putting a letter or number of language (Korean, English, etc.) into a certain frame. In this case, the point is various shapes such as triangle, Lt; / RTI >

A symbol image that symbolizes a letter or a numeral of a language is defined as an object having a volume and a mass, not a planar object used for printing, etc., and a character or a number of the language is poured into an empty space in a certain frame Fig. 2 is a plan view of the processing of characters and numerals. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the process of processing characters and numerals. Fig. In other words, after extracting triangles, squares, circles, etc., which are symbols that can be expressed by simplifying and processing the letters and numbers of the language, This symbol is placed in space to symbolically represent the number or character of the language.

Therefore, the symbol image of the Hangul character displayed on the display screen of the output unit 140 includes a predetermined first space, which expresses at least one Hangul character (at least one syllable), and a second space, , The surface or another display (dividing the first space into a second space and dividing the first space), and performs a function of either the first, neutral, or lasting in the divided second spaces to represent the Korean alphabet symbolically Square, circle, and straight line disposed in the second spaces separated by the space partition. Here, each of the second spaces divided into the space divisions may be configured in a transverse direction or a longitudinal direction, or a combination thereof, and each of the first spaces may be arranged to be laterally or longitudinally spaced apart. The symbol may be at least one of a triangle, a rectangle, a circle, an object having a shape of each figure, an object configured to have a shape, and a character reminding each figure.

As an embodiment, the principle of generating a symbol image for Korean characters will be described below.

FIGS. 3 to 5 are diagrams illustrating a principle of generating a symbol image corresponding to Hangul according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a prefix, a neutral, And FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating the initial, neutral, and longitudinal characteristics of Hangul as a space segment. As described above, the space partition means, for example, a spatial division for distinguishing the beginning, the middle, and the longitudinal of Korean characters.

First, FIG. 3 illustrates a principle of generating a symbol image corresponding to the Hangul initial character. Specifically, (a) shows a rectangular symbol image at the lower left corner, which is the position of the margin in (a), and (b) shows a square symbol image such as the shape of a margin at the upper right corner, (C) creates a square symbol image such as the shape of the margin at the right side of the margin position in 'c'.

(D) creates a rectangular symbol image such as the shape of a margin at the margin position in 'd', and (e) creates a rectangular symbol image such as the shape of the margin at the center of the margin position in ' . In addition, (f) creates a rectangular symbol image such as the shape of a margin at the center position and the upper position at the position of 'B', and (g) represents a margin image at the lower position of ' (H) creates a circle symbol image such as the shape of a margin at the center of the margin position in 'o'.

In this specification, only when the shape of the margin on the image of each Hangul is a rectangle, a triangle, or a circle, a symbol image having the same shape as the shape of the margin is generated at a position corresponding to the position of the corresponding margin, It is also possible to create a symbol image with a different shape than the margins at the position of the margins on the image, since the margins determine the inherent characteristics of the characters.

(I) is a symbol image corresponding to 'i', (j) is a symbol image corresponding to 'j', (k) is a symbol image corresponding to ' (M) is a symbol image corresponding to 't', (n) is a symbol image corresponding to 'h', and (d) is a symbol image corresponding to ' (o) is a symbol image corresponding to ㄲ, (p) is a symbol image corresponding to ㄸ, q is a symbol image corresponding to ㅃ, and (r) is a symbol image corresponding to ㅆ (S) is a corresponding symbol image, and (s) is a symbol image corresponding to '.'.

Meanwhile, FIG. 4 illustrates the principle of generating a symbol image corresponding to a letter combining the initial and neutral characters of Hangul. However, it is expressed with 'ㅇ' consonant for easy understanding without expressing it as a vowel alone. As shown in FIG. 4, in generating a symbol image corresponding to characters combined with a primitive and a neutral, the rectangular image frame shown in FIG. 3 is first generated as shown in FIGS. 7 (a) and 7 (b) (This is referred to as a 'spatial block'), and a symbol image corresponding to the primitive and neutral is generated independently of the primitive image frame and the neutral image frame, respectively.

The principle of generating a symbol image corresponding to the primitive in the preliminary image frame is the same as the principle explained in Fig. 3, and in the present invention, even in the generation of the symbol image corresponding to the neutrality in the neutral image frame, A square symbol image having the same shape as that of the margin was generated at a position corresponding to the position of the blank.

According to the symbol image generation principle as described above, when the characters represented by the symbol images in FIG. 4 are analyzed, (a) is a symbol image corresponding to 'ah', (b) is a symbol image corresponding to ' (d) is a symbol image corresponding to 'f', (e) is a symbol image corresponding to 'o', (f) is a symbol image corresponding to ' (H) is a symbol image corresponding to 'u', (i) is a symbol image corresponding to 'u', (g) is a symbol image corresponding to ' j is a symbol image corresponding to 'i', (k) is a symbol image corresponding to 'j', and (l) is a symbol image corresponding to 'ja'.

In order to distinguish between 'ㅓ' and 'ㅕ', the neutral image frame is divided into two vertically as in (m) and (n) ㅔ 'should be written as' ㅓ + ㅣ', and 'ㅖ' should be written as' ㅕ + ㅣ '. Accordingly, (m) is a symbol image corresponding to 'E', and (l) is a symbol image corresponding to 'Yes'.

On the other hand, in the case of a vowel sound, it is preferable to separately generate the symbol images of each vowel in a state in which the neutral image frame is divided into a lower end portion and a right end portion of the entire rectangular image frame. (O) becomes a symbol image corresponding to 'and', (p) becomes a symbol image corresponding to 'why', (q) becomes a symbol image corresponding to 'outside', and ) Is a symbol image corresponding to 'wo', (s) is a symbol image corresponding to 'wo', (t) is a symbol image corresponding to 'wo', (u) As shown in Fig.

On the other hand, in generating a symbol image corresponding to a character combined with a prefix, a neutral, and a vertex, the rectangular image frame shown in FIG. 3 is first generated as a preprocessed region, a neutral region, And a trailing area (referred to as a 'space compartment'), and a sign image corresponding to the leading, neutral, and trailing edges is independently generated in the leading image frame, the neutral image frame, and the trailing image frame.

FIG. 5 illustrates a principle of generating a symbol image corresponding to Hangul font in a longitudinal image frame. On the other hand, there are 14 terminal sounds ('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'ks',' f ',' g ',' ('ㄲ', 'ㅆ') and two double consonants ('ㄲ', 'ㅆ') can be used as Hangul characters, In Fig. 5, 11 lexicals ('ㄳ', 'ㄵ', 'ㄶ', 'ㄺ', 'ㄻ', 'ㄼ', 'ㄽ', 'ㄾ' , 'ㄿ', 'ㅀ', and 'ㅄ') will be described.

In the case of the so-called two-consonant, which is not used as a prefix but used only as a consonant, among the pair consonants of the Korean alphabet, in a state where the consonant image frame is divided into two regions, A symbol image corresponding to each consonant is generated.

Thus, (a) becomes a symbol image corresponding to 'ㄳ', (b) becomes a symbol image corresponding to 'ㄵ', (c) becomes a symbol image corresponding to 'ㄶ' ) Is a symbol image corresponding to 'ㄺ', (e) is a symbol image corresponding to 'ㄻ', (f) is a symbol image corresponding to 'ㄼ', (g) (H) is a symbol image corresponding to 'ㄾ', (i) is a symbol image corresponding to 'ㄿ', (j) is a symbol image corresponding to 'ㅀ' (K) becomes a symbol image corresponding to '.'.

Thus, the symbol image can be generated according to the principles of FIGS. 3 to 5, and the image can be generated according to the modified form of the symbol as shown in FIG.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b), a rectangular symbol, which is a symbol representing a vowel, may be replaced with a short vertical segment, or " Or by substituting long rectangle segments for the left and right rectangles, which are symbol shapes, or by connecting long long line segments with diagonal line segments in the form of 'Z' or in the form of reduced 'z'. In addition, as shown in (d), (e), and (f), the rectangular symbol image in the middle of the left and right ends of the symbols representing 'I', ' You may. Also, as shown in (g), only a square symbol at the middle of the left end is replaced with a short horizontal line segment among the symbols indicating 'k', and a symbol ' May be generated by replacing the square symbols of the rectangles with long horizontal lines, or alternatively, by replacing only the rectangles in the middle of the symbols representing the letter 'i' with short line segments as in (i).

1, the generating unit 121 generates a symbol image at a position corresponding to a margin position on a character image corresponding to the character of Hangul input through the input unit 110, that is, 7 (a) and 7 (b), the frame is divided into a preliminary region and a neutral region (space division), and a symbol image corresponding to the preliminary and neutral is independently generated in the preliminary image frame and the neutral image frame, Or a rectangular image frame is divided into a preliminary region, a neutral region, and a longitudinal region (spatial division) as shown in FIGS. 7C to 7E (spatial division), and the preliminary image frame, the neutral image frame, And generates and displays a symbol image corresponding to the initial, neutral, and neutral characters on the display screen of the output unit 140 or the printer.

The generating unit 121 extracts a symbol image stored in the storage unit 130 by mapping the input character to a user and outputs the rectangular image frame to the preprocessing area 130 as shown in FIGS. 7 (a) and 7 (b) (C) to (e) of FIG. 7, the symbol images corresponding to the primaries and neutrals, respectively, or the rectangular image frames corresponding to the primitive image frames and the neutral image frames, respectively, (Space division), and a symbol image corresponding to the first, neutral, and longitudes independently of the first, second, and third image frames, the neutral image frame, and the longitudinal image frame, And outputs the image to the printer.

In another embodiment, the user may input a desired symbol image as a character of a language (display, printer output, etc.) through the input unit 110. For characters combined with the initial and neutral characters of the Korean character, 7 (c) to (e) are selected for a character in which the first, second, and third characters of the Korean alphabet are combined, a portion to which the emblem is to be assigned is designated do. Then, enter the stage where you can select the shape (point, line, face, etc.) of the emblem, and enter the stage where you can select the shape of the re-point (triangle, rectangle, circle, etc.) do. When a symbol is arranged in a part of a space defined by a space partition in a predetermined partitioned space (for example, a rectangular image frame), the generation unit 121 interprets the symbol image input through the input unit 110, Extracts the characters stored in the storage unit 130 by mapping to the inputted symbol image, and outputs the characters of the corresponding language through the output unit 140 in real time.

In this way, the user can input the character information of the desired language (display, printer output, etc.) in the symbol image through the input unit 110, and on the other hand, You can also enter the desired symbol image.

On the other hand, the number of Arabic numerals in the numeric input mode can be expressed by a total of ten. The Arabic numerals are composed of '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9'

The symbol image for the Arabic numeral can be represented by placing a symbol in a part of the space in a predetermined divided space (for example, a rectangular image frame). However, since the numbers are not divided into the initial / neutral / longitudinal, the partitioned space does not have to be re-classified (space partition). Here, the symbol is a simplified form of a point, a line, a surface, etc., obtained from an empty space by placing an Arabic numeral in a certain frame, and the point may have various shapes such as a triangle, a rectangle, and a circle.

FIG. 8 illustrates a principle of generating a symbol image corresponding to an Arabic numeral in a numeric image frame. In FIG. 8, (a) is a symbol image corresponding to the number '0, (b) is a symbol image corresponding to the number' 1 ', (c) is a symbol image corresponding to the number' 2 ' ) Is a symbol image corresponding to the number '3', (e) is a symbol image corresponding to the number '4', (f) is a symbol image corresponding to the number '5' (H) is a symbol image corresponding to the numeral '7', (i) is a symbol image corresponding to the numeral '8', (j) is a symbol image corresponding to the numeral '9' Image. As described above, the symbol image corresponding to the number can be expressed by a space segment and a symbol by applying to the clock as shown in FIG.

On the other hand, in the English word input mode, the number of alphabets of English can be expressed by a total of 52 letters in 26 upper and lower case letters.
