Description

[0001] APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR INPUTTING CHINESE CHARACTERS [0002]

The present invention is applicable to a Chinese character input device such as a keypad, a touch pad, a mobile (e.g., a smart phone, a tablet PC, a notebook, etc.) And a method for inputting a Chinese character.

With the development of the Internet and the development of communication devices, the use time of computers and mobiles is increasing, and a method of inputting characters more quickly is required.

Chinese characters are more difficult to input than Hangul, Japanese, and English because of the large number of chunks to be input and the variety of combinations of chunks. Currently, there is a method of inputting a Chinese character in mobile, a method of inputting a phonetic representation of a Chinese character to be input and inputting a Chinese character corresponding to the pronunciation of the input character, And the method of using a combination of 'using' or 'ancillary'.

Among them, the way of inputting Chinese characters by inputting English characters by pronunciation is mainly used because Chinese people learned to read Chinese characters by marking Pinyin words.

[

The conceptual structure of the keypad unit 100a according to the second embodiment of the present invention thus constructed is generally similar to the conceptual structure of the keypad unit 100a according to the first embodiment of the present invention. However, the keypad unit 100a according to the second embodiment of the present invention further includes a combination key unit 150 as compared with the first embodiment. Therefore, only the combination key unit 150 will be described below.

The combination key unit 130 is composed of J button keys (hereinafter, referred to as 'combination keys'), and the J combination keys include a number of copies (one of a representative copy and a general copy) and a copy number (one of a representative copy and a general copy) A shape (shape) indicating the type of the combination of the number of copies (one of the representative copies and the general copy numbers) and the essential letters is displayed, and a letter combination operation corresponding to the shape displayed when the corresponding combination key is selected is performed. Here, the J button keys may be implemented in a software-implemented graphical user interface or in hardware.

An example of the type and shape of the combination is shown in Fig. FIG. 10 is a view showing the shape of a combination key part and a combination key in the keypad part according to the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 10 (a), the types of combinations are largely classified into 1. horizontal array combination, 2. vertical array combination, 3. other array combination, and further 4. combination prevention have.

The horizontal arrangement combination comprises a first horizontal arrangement consisting of two copies in detail, or one copy and one letter, and a second horizontal arrangement consisting of three copies or two copies (or letters) and one letter (or copies) It is divided into horizontal array. The shape of the first horizontal array is the same as the shape given the reference numeral f1 in FIG. 10 (a), and the shape of the second horizontal array is the same as the shape given the reference symbol f2 in FIG. 10 (a).

The vertical arrangement combination comprises a first vertical arrangement consisting of two sub-numbers, or one sub-number and one letter, in detail, and a second vertical arrangement consisting of three sub-numbers or two sub-numbers (or letters) and one letter It is divided into vertical array. The shape of the first vertical array is the same as the shape given the reference numeral f3 in FIG. 10 (a), and the shape of the second vertical array is the same as the shape given the reference symbol f4 in FIG. 10 (a).

And a combination of other arrangements is a combination of a first combination in which the number or the letter is centered in the entire letter, a second combination in which the number or the letter is located at the bottom of the whole letter, a third combination in which the letter is in the upper part of the whole letter, The fourth combination in which the letters are located on the right side of the whole letter, the fifth combination in which the letters or numbers occupy the upper side and the left side of the whole letter, the sixth combination in which the side or the letter occupies the upper side and the right side of the whole letter, A seventh combination occupying the lower side and the right side of the whole letter, and an eighth combination in which different numbers or letters are arranged on the upper right side and the lower left side of the entire letter.

In this case, the shape of the first combination is a shape given with reference numeral f5 in FIG. 10 (a), the shape of the second combination is a shape given with the reference symbol f6 in FIG. 10 (a) The shape of the fourth combination is the shape given with the reference numeral f8 in FIG. 10 (a), and the shape of the fifth combination is the shape in which the shape in FIG. 10 (a ), The shape of the sixth combination is a shape given a reference numeral f10 in Fig. 10 (a), and the shape of the seventh combination is a shape given in Fig. 4 (a) And the shape of the eighth combination is a shape given a reference numeral f12 in Fig. 10 (a).

Finally, a duplicate prevention combination is used when a character other than a desired character is displayed even if it is combined through a combination of horizontal arrays, vertical arrays, and other arrays for the same number of copies, or combinations of numbers and letters. At least one of the same number of copies, or a duplicate character combined with the number of copies and letters is displayed. The shape of the overlap preventive combination is a shape given a reference numeral f13 in FIG. 10 (a).

Therefore, according to FIG. 10 (a), the total number of J combining keys is 12, and in the case where the combination prevention is required, the total number becomes 13.

As another example, the J combination keys may be composed of three, including one horizontal array combination key, one vertical arrangement combination key, and one other arrangement combination key, as shown in Figure 10 (b) When the duplication prevention function is required, it is possible to constitute four duplication prevention keys.

Here, the shape of one horizontal arrangement key is, for example, a shape given with reference numeral f1 in FIG. 10 (a), and the shape of one vertical arrangement combination key is a shape in which the reference symbol f3 is given in FIG. And the shape of one other arrangement combination key is a shape given a reference numeral f9 in FIG. 10 (a), and the shape of the overlap prevention combination key is a shape given a reference symbol f13 in FIG. 10 (a) .

Hereinafter, an example of embodying the concept of the structure of the keypad unit 100a according to the embodiment of the present invention described with reference to FIG. 10 will be described with reference to FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an arrangement structure of a button key in a keypad unit according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

The normal key unit 140 includes eight button keys including a space button key and a shift button key.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 11, as another embodiment of the present invention, the representative side key can be modified into A, B, C, and the like. That is, it is possible to denote only two representative digits in the representative subordinate key as in A, or two representative digits and their pronunciation in English in the representative subordinate key as in B. In addition, as in the case of C, two or more general copies related to each representative copy can be stipulated in the representative side key. In addition, as in the case of the representative side key (111), two representative side (1, 2) and two general side related to the representative side (2) related to the representative side (1) . In other words, it is possible to stipulate more than 0 common digits in the representative sub key, and the number of general digits related to the representative digits (1, 2) can be different from each other.

Hereinafter, a Chinese character input method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 and 13. FIG. Here, the Chinese character input method is performed by the Chinese character generating unit 300 in a subjective manner.

12 is a diagram illustrating a Chinese character input method according to a second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 12, the Chinese character input method according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a representative side input method, a general side input method, a smart character input method, and a combined character input method.

The representative side input method is the same as the representative side input method according to the first embodiment of the present invention as in (a-1) and (a-2) 2) is the same as the general number of copies input method according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The smart character input method is the same as the smart character input method according to the first embodiment of the present invention as in (c-1) to (c-3).

In the method of inputting the combined text, there is a method of selecting one representative secondary key as shown in (d-1), selecting at least one representative secondary key, selecting a combination key, 2), selecting at least one representative minor key, selecting at least one general minor key, and selecting a desired one of the combination keys.

Also, in the method of inputting a combined text, there is a method of selecting a general auxiliary key, selecting at least one general auxiliary key, selecting one of the combination keys, and inputting the combined character as in (d-3) 4), and then selecting a required combination and selecting one combination key to input a desired combination letter. In the method (d-1) to (d-4), the input order between the representative sub key, the general sub key, and the essential key may be changed.

In the above, the smart letters and the combination letters are substantially the same. Therefore, it is possible for the user to input a Chinese character using a combination of a smart character input method and a combination text input method.

Now, with reference to FIG. 13, a specific example of the combination letter input method (d-1) to (d-4) among the Chinese character input methods described with reference to FIG. 12 will be described. FIG. 13 is a specific example of a Chinese character input method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 13, the example of the representative key input and the example of the general key number input are extremely simple. Therefore, the example of the combination key input is mainly shown, and the explanation is based on the button key arrangement structure and Table 1 shown in FIG. .

If a first combination key f1 is selected after selecting 'tree' and 'child' as shown in FIG. 9 (a), 'pine tree' is inputted. Specifically, when the user selects the representative side "tree", "tree" is displayed on the screen, and next, when the user selects the representative side "woman", "tree" and "woman" are displayed on the screen. Next, when the user selects the general subsidiary child related to 'woman', 'woman' is converted into 'child', and 'tree' and 'child' are displayed on the screen. Finally, when the user selects the first combination key f1, 'Koko (child)' in which 'tree' and 'child' are combined horizontally is displayed on the screen.

if the second combination key f3 is selected after inputting 'tree' and 'child' in the same manner as shown in FIG. 5 (b), 'Yi' is displayed on the screen. Then, if the first combined key f1 is selected after selecting 'representative', 'representative', 'representative', 'power', and ' 'And' force 'are horizontally combined.

Likewise, if a third key (f3) is selected after sequentially inputting the representative key 'tree' three times as shown in (d), a tree-tight three- Is input (displayed).

(e), if the user selects the representative key 'tree', then inputs the representative key 'day', and then selects the third combination key (f9), the ' 'East' is entered (displayed). Likewise, if the user selects 'mouth' as the representative side and selects 'major' as the representative side as shown in (f), and then selects the third combination key (f9) Is input (displayed).

However, even if they consist of the same numbers as in (a) and (b), if the arrangement is different, it is possible to easily input a desired Chinese character by dividing the combination key according to the arrangement. However, If it is, input is not easy.

In order to avoid duplication of the same number of Chinese characters, there exists a fourth combination key, i.e., a duplicate prevention combination key f13.

when the second combination key f3 is selected after inputting the representative key '1' and the representative key number 'large', as shown in (g), 'heaven' Is displayed. If the fourth combination key f13 is selected after inputting the representative number "1" and the representative number "large" as shown in (h), the "rich" husband " Is displayed.

Such a fourth combination key has a function of preventing duplication of a plurality of Chinese characters composed of the same number of copies and making it possible to easily input, and has a function of enabling abbreviated input.

That is, as shown in (i)

, 'Rise', 'Day', and 'Ten' are sequentially inputted, and then the first combination key f1 is selected, the blocked person '' is inputted (displayed). However, if the fourth combination key f13 is used, as shown in (j)

And 'standing', and then selects the fourth combination key f13, 'blocked' is input (displayed). As another example, as shown in (k), '

And then selects the fourth combination key f13, 'Akira', which is a bright box, is inputted (displayed).

On the other hand, the input order of the number of copies (or essential letters) input in (a) to (k) may be input in any order.

The input of a Chinese character is performed through (a) through (k) as described above. A case of inputting a plurality of Chinese characters will be described with reference to (1). (l), the user inputs 'female' as the representative side and then selects 'child', which is related to 'female', and selects 'female' as a child 'To be displayed. Then, the user presses the fourth combination key f13 to inform the completion of the input to one Chinese character. Then, again, the user enters 'woman' and selects 'child', which is related to 'woman', to transform 'woman' into 'child', and selects the representative woman 'woman'. Until this time, "Child" is displayed on the screen.

In this state, when the user selects the first combination key f1, a 'good' is generated by combining 'child', which is input after the fourth combination key f13, which informs the completion of the input of the 'child' do.

On the other hand, the Chinese character input device using the combination key according to the embodiment of the present invention recognizes that there is no Chinese character consisting of 'child' even if 'child child' is inputted without inputting a combination key to notify completion of input and a combination key is selected And 'good' can be generated using 'child' which is the remaining number except the first inputted number. In addition, the Chinese character input device using the combination key according to the embodiment of the present invention may replace one of the button keys constituting the normal key unit 140, instead of the fourth combination key f13, A space button key, etc.), or a separate input completion button key can be additionally configured. Of course, after selecting the representative number or the general number of copies, it is possible to implement that the character input is completed automatically when the set time elapses.

Hereinafter, the principle of arrangement of the representative part constituting the representative minor key part 110 in the button key arrangement structure of the keypad part 110 according to the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 5 will be described.
