KR20180058177A - The keyboard which can input number or domain easily - Google Patents

Abstract

The present invention relates to a keyboard for easy input of numeric characters or domains, in which if any one of function buttons which appear when buttons for inputting characters of any one language are displayed is handled, buttons for inputting numeric characters such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 0 may be controlled to appear and disappear while the state of displaying the buttons for inputting characters of any one language is maintained. First, if the buttons for inputting numeric characters such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 0, which may appear together with the buttons for inputting characters of any one language, are arranged in rows of buttons exceeding one row of buttons, the numeric buttons appear to be large, and input of numeric characters is convenient. Second, when a virtual keyboard having a plurality of buttons displaying domains appears, if any one of the buttons displaying domains is handled to maintain the state of displaying the virtual keyboard for one or more seconds after a domain displayed on the handled button is inputted and then the buttons displaying domains are continuously handled, the domains displayed on the continuously handled buttons are continuously inputted so as to easily input internet domains.

Description

A keyboard that facilitates entering numbers or domains. {Keyboard WHICH CAN INPUT NUMBER OR DOMAIN EASILY}

keyboard

 F1 to F7 buttons denoted by F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6 and F7 on the buttons of the virtual keyboard of the drawings (for example, FIGS. 6 to 14) used in the present application represent function buttons,

F1 ~ F7 can be any of the following functions: enter, space, set, delete, shift, enter numeric mode, enter symbolic mode, and switch languages (eg Korean).

In the past,

As shown in Fig. 7 (or Fig. 9)

Numerical lines are additionally displayed in addition to buttons for inputting language characters such as alphabets a to z,

It's as easy as typing numbers,

For some users, the numbers have been input by using the large buttons in the numeric mode as shown in FIG. 5

In FIG. 7 (or FIG. 9), since the buttons capable of inputting the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 0 exist in only one row, The size of the button is relatively small as compared with Fig.

Conventionally,

Buttons for inputting language characters in which all buttons for inputting language characters are arranged,

Buttons that allow you to enter numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,

At the same time

The arrangement of the buttons to input language characters

And only the QWERTY keyboard form such as the English QWERTY keyboard as shown in FIG. 9,

15, it is not the case that the buttons arranged in the button area of 3 rows and 4 columns are arranged in such a manner that all of the characters for inputting the Hangul characters as the language characters are all assigned.

(So, in that form it was very cumbersome to enter numbers.)

In the past,

In the keyboard as shown in FIG. 12, a button displaying '.com' which is one of the function buttons displayed in a state in which buttons for inputting a language character such as a to z lowercase letters are displayed

- If you touch briefly for less than a certain amount of time (eg 0.5 seconds)

'.Com' is entered,

- If you touch and hold for more than a certain time (eg 0.5 seconds)

As shown in Fig. 13, a (virtual) mini keyboard having a plurality of buttons whose domains are displayed appears,

If a button marked '.net' is operated on any of the plurality of buttons displaying the domain, the 'mini' keyboard having a plurality of buttons displaying the domain simultaneously with '.net' is disappeared.

(Thus, when a (virtual) mini keyboard having a plurality of buttons displayed with more domains as shown in Fig. 26 (or Fig. 14) is displayed, the domain is operated in succession among a plurality of displayed buttons,

E.g,

You can operate the buttons labeled 'http: //', 'www.', 'Google', and '

'Http: //', 'www.', 'Google', '.com'

As a result, I could not enter 'http://www.google.com' .)

In addition

Conventionally, only in the mode in which English can be input,

For example, on a Samsung keyboard built in Samsung Galaxy S7 smartphone with Android 7.0 OS,

When the cursor is in a regular field (such as a sentence field in a text messaging app) (not a field that contains domain text that includes an email address field)

There is no '.com' button on the keyboard, as shown in Figure 22 (there are only function buttons like '123', 'SPACE', 'RETURN'

When the cursor is in a field for inputting a domain phrase including an e-mail address input field (such as when an e-mail account is added to the device itself), the area with function buttons ('SPACE' button and 'RETURN 'Button will appear).

When the '.com' button is displayed as shown in FIG. 23

If you touch the '.com' button for less than a certain amount of time (say 0.5 seconds) (short), '.com' (the public domain)

If the " .com " button is touched (longer) for a certain period of time (e.g., 0.5 seconds)

A mini keyboard with a public domain such as '.gov' '.edu' '.org' '.net' '.go.kr' '.or.kr' '.co.kr' '.kr' pops up,

At this time, if the displayed public domain is '.net', if you touch '.net' button, '.net' is input.

So, if you wanted to enter ' skyblue@daum.net '

After inputting to the 'skyblue @ daum' using the alphabetical buttons a to z of the keyboard as shown in FIG. 23 (in a state in which the mini-keyboard for inputting the common domain is not displayed as shown in FIG. 24)

Touch and hold the '.com' button. With the mini-keyboard for entering a common domain displayed as shown in FIG. 24, touch the button marked '.net' to input '.net', and the desired 'skyblue@daum.net 'Can be entered.

So, the disadvantage of the conventional method is as follows.

1. If the cursor is in a field that is not a field for entering a domain phrase that includes an email address field

You can not have a mini-keyboard for domain input or a keyboard with domain input mode.

2. You can use things like '@ daum.net' or ' http: // www .daum.net'

(Such as a mini keyboard capable of inputting a conventional domain shown in Fig. 24) can not be input by using only one screen.

(Because there is no button labeled '@', 'daum', or ' http: // www .' On the mini keyboard to enter a domain)

It should be understood that the foregoing description of the background art is merely for the purpose of promoting an understanding of the background of the present invention, and is not to be construed as admission that the prior art is known to those skilled in the art.

The conventional inconveniences mentioned below are solved.

In the past,

As shown in Fig. 7 (or Fig. 9)

Numerical lines are additionally displayed in addition to buttons for inputting language characters such as alphabets a to z,

It's as easy as typing numbers,

For some users, the numbers have been input by using the large buttons in the numeric mode as shown in FIG. 5

In FIG. 7 (or FIG. 9), since the buttons capable of inputting the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 0 exist in only one row, The size of the button is relatively small as compared with Fig.

Conventionally,

Buttons for inputting language characters in which all buttons for inputting language characters are arranged,

Buttons that allow you to enter numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,

At the same time

The arrangement of the buttons to input language characters

And only the QWERTY keyboard form such as the English QWERTY keyboard as shown in FIG. 9,

15, it is not the case that the buttons arranged in the button area of 3 rows and 4 columns are arranged in such a manner that all of the characters for inputting the Hangul characters as the language characters are all assigned.

So, in that form it was very cumbersome to enter numbers.

In the past,

In the keyboard as shown in FIG. 12, a button displaying '.com' which is one of the function buttons displayed in a state in which buttons for inputting a language character such as a to z lowercase letters are displayed

- If you touch briefly for less than a certain amount of time (eg 0.5 seconds)

'.Com' is entered,

- If you touch and hold for more than a certain time (eg 0.5 seconds)

As shown in Fig. 13, a (virtual) mini keyboard having a plurality of buttons whose domains are displayed appears,

If a button marked '.net' is operated on any of the plurality of buttons displaying the domain, the 'mini' keyboard having a plurality of buttons displaying the domain simultaneously with '.net' is disappeared.

Thus, when a virtual keyboard having a plurality of buttons displayed with more domains as shown in Fig. 14 (or Fig. 26) is displayed, the domain is operated in succession among a plurality of displayed buttons,

E.g,

You can operate the buttons labeled 'http: //', 'www.', 'Google', and '

'Http: //', 'www.', 'Google', '.com'

As a result, I could not enter 'http://www.google.com' .

Here are three other things to mention:

1. Even when the cursor is in a field that is not a field for entering a domain phrase that includes an email address field,

Including '.com' button

A button with a specific domain or

Make sure you see a mini-keyboard for domain input or a button to show the domain input mode (so that you can enter your favorite domain in the field instead of the domain text that contains the email address field).

2. Frequently used '@' or

Buttons showing individual domains that you use frequently, like 'daum'

Exists in the mini-keyboard or domain input mode for domain input.

3. If you want to enter an entire domain, not an email address like ' http: // www .daum.net'

A button with "http: // www" or "https: // www"

Exists in the mini-keyboard or domain input mode for domain input.

Instead of the button marked 'http: // www' or 'https: // www'

By disassembling 'http: // www'

'Http: //' and 'www' or

'Http:' and '//' and 'www' or

'Http:', '/' and 'www' or

'Http', ':', '//' and 'www' or

Buttons with 'http', ':', '/' and 'www' may be present on the mini-keyboard for domain input.

By disassembling 'https: // www'

'Https: //' and 'www' or

'Https:', '//' and 'www' or

'Https:', '/' and 'www' or

'Https', ':', '//' and 'www' or

Buttons that display 'https', ':', '/' and 'www' may also be present on a mini-keyboard for domain input.

For reference, 'https' is a security-enhanced version of 'http'.

===================================

===================================

===================================

===================================

Explanation of terms.

Term 1 . 'Keyboard' (= keyboard)

As everything that can enter text electronically,

A keyboard that contains both physical and virtual keyboards.

The 'virtual keyboard' includes a virtual keyboard on a touch screen and a hologram keyboard that appears in the air.

The 'virtual keyboard on the touch screen' includes a general virtual keyboard as shown in FIGS. 22 and 23 and '.gov' .edu '.org''.net''.go.kr' .or.kr Includes a mini keyboard popped up to display '' .com '' .kr '.

(The 'mini-keyboard' includes a keyboard that pops up on a keyboard that has already been displayed (before the mini-keyboard pops up).)

Also, any input 'mode' including the domain input mode as shown in FIG. 27 or the numeric input mode as shown in FIG. 5, the English input mode as shown in FIG. 22, and the Hangeul input mode as shown in FIG.

so,

The domain input mode can be referred to as a domain input keyboard,

The numeric input mode can be called a numeric input keyboard,

Include any combination of characters (eg 'ㅣ' and '.') In combination with a combination of symbols to enter any language character (eg 'a').

(For your reference, the phrase 'combination' above is a phrase we created for our purposes.)

So, a language character can also be called a 'suffix'.

In the following, 'suffix' is included in the concept of 'character'.

So, since it is more natural seureowoseo representation that represented a '' character '' basil 'than to express that, depending on developments in the sentence, and may even replace the' Perilla 'to' text '.

The ' combination letter' in the description of the 'language character' in the above will be described in more detail as follows.

E.g,

15, which can be applied to a general-

In the way that all the Hangul vowels can be input by using the large vertical flicker (ㅣ), the dot (.) And the big horizontal flicker (ㅡ), the large vertical flicker (ㅣ) The flicker (ㅡ) can be the vowel (= the combination of vowels needed to make a vowel) among the combination of vowels.

As another example, as shown in FIG. 19

It is possible to input all Hangul vowels by using a large vertical flick (), a small horizontal flick (-), a small vertical flick (between the 'a bK' button and a 'b' button) In the method, a large vertical flick (ㅣ), a small horizontal flick (-), a small vertical flick, and a large horizontal flick (ㅡ) can be the vowel suffixes of the combination suffixes.

Terms 5 .. ' Button design '

The design of the button

Examples include button border design , button background design , or the design of characters displayed on buttons .

The ' button frame design' may include color, pattern, and thickness of the button frame.

===================================

We will now describe the technology of the present invention.

first, In numeric mode Mode  1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, The number 0  A mini keyboard consisting of buttons that can be input (= Numeric rows ).

I will first give an implication of the technical content of it and explain it in detail.

Implicit Clause Clause 1

When any one of the function buttons displayed in a state in which the buttons for inputting a language character are displayed,

Buttons that allow you to enter a language character are still visible

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and The number 0  A virtual keyboard that lets you enter or dismiss the buttons you can enter.

I will explain the implication above.

In the past,

To enter a number,

First,

Quot; 123 " in Fig. 8 is operated to enter a number by switching the input mode in the numeric mode as shown in Fig. 5

Secondly,

It is shown with a button that can input any language character such as a to z in FIG. 8,

The buttons for inputting numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 0 (which are the same as in FIG. 2) = Number line) can be used to enter a number.

The second method above is a case where a numerical row is 'added' to a general keyboard, so when there is a lot of content to look at, the numerical row itself interferes with the contents.

In that case, you can change the setting so that it does not show the number line by going to the setting screen of the keyboard application (if it is implemented as it is possible), but when entering the setting screen, Changing the settings is very cumbersome.

Therefore, in the present

As shown in FIG. 8, when no numeric row is displayed and buttons for inputting a language character such as a to z lowercase alphabetic characters are displayed, one of the function buttons (indicated) When the button is operated, a numeral row is additionally displayed as shown in Fig. 9,

As shown in FIG. 9, when a button marked '1' is operated in a state where a number line is displayed, the number line can be made to disappear as shown in FIG.

That is, the button marked '①' becomes a toggle button that causes the numeric row to appear / disappear.

(For reference, the way in which the button marked '①' is operated is that the button marked '①' is briefly touched for less than a certain time (for example, 0.5 seconds).)

Implied Clause Clause 2

16,

The buttons for entering language characters are quite large,

There are also numeric rows where numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,

Because the size of the buttons to which the numbers are allocated is relatively small

When I enter numbers, I feel a greater inconvenience,

As shown in FIG. 17, it is convenient to let buttons that can input numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 0 appear over two lines have.

Now, Than ever  Let's take a look at a mini keyboard that makes typing easier.

Implicit Statements Section 11

(With the background of the buttons where you can enter a language character)

When a virtual keyboard appears with multiple buttons displaying a domain,

When any one of the plurality of buttons whose domain is displayed is operated and the domain displayed on the operated button is input

How a virtual keyboard with multiple buttons with domains displayed appears for a period of time (for example, one second), or continues to stay the same.

In the past,

In the keyboard as shown in FIG. 12, a button in which one of the function buttons (indicated) '.com' is displayed in a state in which buttons for inputting any language character such as a to z lowercase letters are displayed

- If you touch briefly for less than a certain amount of time (eg 0.5 seconds)

'.Com' is entered,

- If you touch and hold for more than a certain time (eg 0.5 seconds)

As shown in Fig. 13, a (virtual) mini keyboard having a plurality of buttons whose domains are displayed is a

a ~ z is displayed in a pop-up state while the buttons for inputting a language character such as a lowercase alphabetic character are displayed,

If a button marked '.net' is operated on any of the plurality of buttons displaying the domain, the 'mini' keyboard having a plurality of buttons displaying the domain simultaneously with '.net' is disappeared.

Note that,

In the above,

A (virtual) mini keyboard with a plurality of buttons displaying the domain,

The fact that the buttons appear to be able to input any language characters such as a to z,

20  Similarly, there is a case in which buttons for inputting a language character such as a to z lower-case alphabetic characters are displayed and the case where they are not overlapped.

In the following, " Appear "  Phrases may be interpreted in the same way as in the above case.

However, in the present

As we seek from the implication below,

With the virtual keyboard appearing with multiple buttons displaying the domain,

Even if a button displaying '.net', which is one of a plurality of buttons displaying a domain, is operated,

Just '.net' is entered,

By preventing the virtual keyboard with a plurality of buttons displaying the domain from disappearing,

When a virtual keyboard having a plurality of buttons displayed with more domains as shown in Fig. 14 (or Fig. 26) is displayed, the domain is operated in succession among a plurality of displayed buttons,

E.g,

You can operate the buttons labeled 'http: //', 'www.', 'Google', and '

'Http: //', 'www.', 'Google', '.com'

As a result, I want to be able to enter 'http://www.google.com' .

In the above,

The fact that a virtual keyboard with multiple buttons with domains displayed remains visible for a period of time (say, 1 second)

The state of the virtual keyboard in which a plurality of buttons domains listed appears, unless a separate action, continue to include that. (In such cases, such as pressing the Cancel button on the smart device itself (= Back button) If you take a separate action, you can make the virtual keyboard disappear with multiple buttons with the domain displayed.

Implied Clause Clause 12

(With the background of the buttons where you can enter a language character)

When a virtual keyboard appears with multiple buttons displaying a domain,

If a plurality of buttons displaying a domain are operated in succession,

A method for continuously inputting a plurality of domains displayed on a plurality of continuously operated buttons.

Immediately above, paragraph 12 states that

It is fully explained in the explanation of the eleventh sentence Clause 11, so the explanation is omitted.

Implied Clause Clause 13

Implication The method of claim 12, wherein ,

(With the background of the buttons where you can enter a language character)

When a virtual keyboard appears with multiple buttons displaying a domain,

A plurality of buttons are continuously operated,

Even when a plurality of domains displayed on a plurality of continuously operated buttons are continuously input

How a virtual keyboard with multiple buttons with domains displayed appears for a period of time (for example, one second), or continues to stay the same.

Immediately above, paragraph 13 states that

It is fully explained in the explanation of the eleventh sentence Clause 11, so the explanation is omitted.

When a virtual keyboard appears with multiple buttons displaying a domain,

After any one or more of the plurality of buttons are continuously operated and any one or more domains displayed on the one or more continuously operated buttons are successively inputted

A virtual keyboard with multiple buttons with domains displayed remains visible for more than a second.

Implied Clause 14.

Implicit Statement Any of claims 11 to 13 In ,

A method as claimed in any of the preceding claims, wherein a plurality of buttons have individual domains among the displayed domains.

The preceding Implied Clause 14

It can be said that the explanations of paragraph 11 of the implied text are almost fully explained.

In the description of the implied phrase 11, 'google' is the individual domain,

'Naver', 'daum', 'google', and 'twitter' in FIG. 14 may also be referred to as individual domains.

(You can also consider 'gmail' and 'outlook' in Figure 14 as separate domains.)

Clause 15 of the Implied Statement

Implicit Statement Any of claims 11 to 13 In ,

Even though the location of the cursor is not a field for entering domain phrases, including email address fields,

A button that allows you to display a virtual keyboard with multiple buttons displaying the domain

How to make a language character appear on a keyboard that can be entered.

I will explain the implication above.

In the past,

Only when the cursor position is a field for inputting a domain phrase including an email address field,

Including buttons with ".com"

A button appears that allows you to display a virtual keyboard with multiple buttons displaying the domain.

E.g,

When the position of the cursor is a general character input field other than a field for inputting a domain phrase including an email address input field, there is no '.com' button as in FIG. 9 (or FIG. 22)

The " .com " button appears only when the cursor position is changed to a field for inputting a domain phrase including an email address input field, as shown in FIG. 13 (or FIG. 23)

Click the '.com' button

(Without touching briefly for less than a certain amount of time (for example, 0.5 seconds)

(Longer than a certain amount of time, for example, 0.5 seconds) so that you can enter a domain after the virtual keyboard appears with multiple buttons displaying your domain.

there was.

Thus, conventionally,

If the location of the cursor is a regular text field rather than a field for entering domain text that includes the email address field

Although it is desired to input the e-mail address or the domain address of the specific site to the communication party,

I could not get a virtual keyboard with multiple buttons with domain displayed, so I could not enter the domain any easier with the virtual keyboard.

Therefore, in the present

If the cursor's position is a regular text field instead of a domain text that contains an email address field,

As shown in FIG. 13 (or FIG. 23), a '.com' button, which is a button for displaying a virtual keyboard having a plurality of buttons whose domains are displayed,

I want to display a language character on a keyboard that can be input.

Clause 16 of the Implied Statement

Implication The method of claim 14, wherein ,

Even though the location of the cursor is not a field for entering domain phrases that include the email address field,

A button that allows you to display a virtual keyboard with multiple buttons displaying the domain

How to display a language character on a keyboard that can be entered.

The above-mentioned implied phrase is only different from the phrase and quotation in paragraph 15 of the implied phrase.

And,

In the English input mode, there is always a button for easily inputting the domain including the 'com' button marked with 'com' (including the '.com' button including the dot (.))

Not only when the cursor is in a field to enter a domain phrase that includes an email address field (such as when adding an account to the device itself)

Even when the cursor is in a regular field (such as a sentence field in a text messaging app) (rather than a field for entering domain phrases that include email address fields)

You can easily enter a domain.

Furthermore

For buttons that allow you to easily enter a domain with a button marked 'com' (with a '.com' button)

a. If the button is touched (briefly) for less than a certain amount of time (eg 0.5 seconds), you can enter a specific domain (eg com or .com)

b. If the button is touched (longer) for more than a certain period of time (for example, 0.5 seconds)

A mini keyboard type as shown in FIG. 26 or

(Separate) ( domain) input mode (such as Hangul mode, English mode, numeric mode, special character mode) as shown in FIG. 27,

A domain to be input can be inputted by touching a button showing a domain to be input.

(The ' mini-keyboard ' does not disappear before the mini-keyboard pop-up appears , but pops up on the keyboard. pop-up Keyboard .

The ' domain input mode ' may be a keyboard that can input a newly appearing domain as the previously displayed keyboard disappears before the mode of the domain input mode is displayed . )

Instead of touching the corresponding button in the process 'b' for longer than a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds)

The button may be dragged.

In addition,

When the corresponding button in the process 'a' is touched (shortly) for less than a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 second), when the corresponding button is touched (regardless of the time when the touched state is maintained) Of the touch strength of the touch,

When the corresponding button in the process 'b' is touched (longer than a predetermined time) (for example, 0.5 seconds) It can also be replaced by touching strength.

25 will be described in detail.

(A button including a plurality of domains or the like shown in Fig. 25 is included

A mini keyboard type as shown in FIG. 26 or

(Separate), (domain) input mode as shown in FIG. 27 (such as Korean language mode, English mode, numeric mode, and special character mode).

In Fig. 25, there are the following three button areas.

1. Individual  The region in which the button with the domain is placed.

A button displaying an individual domain in the following example is arranged.

'Daum', 'hanmail', 'naver', 'nate'

'Gmail', 'google', 'outlook', 'twitter'

'Facebook', 'instagram', 'youtube', 'yahoo'

2 .. public  The region in which the button with the domain is placed.

A button showing the common domain of the following example is arranged.

 '.Com', '.edu', '.gov', '.net,'

 '.Org', '.jp', '.uk', '.kr'

'Ac.kr', '.co.kr', '.go.kr', '.or.kr'

3. Individual  The domain is neither a public domain Button with part of internet address  Or the area where the button marked '@' is placed.

In the above, " button indicating a part of the Internet address "

In Fig. 25, " http: // ", " https: // ", and " www. &Quot;

When commercialized, depending on the design

Instead of the button labeled 'http: //', 'https: //', 'www.'

'http: // www', ' http: // www .' , 'https: // www', or ' https: // www .'

'https: //', 'https: //', 'http: //', 'https: //', 'https: //', ' Button.

For reference, the phrases used in claims,

A button with one or more of 'http', ' https ', or 'www'

It includes buttons with the following:

'Http: // www', 'http: // www.',

'Http: //', 'www', 'www.'

'Http:', 'http',

'Https: // www', 'https: // www.'

'Https: //',

'Https:', 'https'

In any case, the above-mentioned 'button, which is not an individual domain or a public domain, but displays a part of the Internet address'

'http: // www', ' http: // www .' , 'https: // www', and ' https: // www .'.

The buttons in FIG. 25 are different in 'button design' according to areas where different areas are connected to each other among the below-mentioned three areas.

1. The area where the buttons with the individual domains are placed.

2. The area in which the button with the public domain is placed.

3. Individual domains are not public domains, but there are buttons ("http: //", "https: //", "www." domain.

More specifically, it is as follows.

The buttons of the '1. Place the button where the individual domain is displayed' are gray,

(With the gray area '1. The area where the button with the individual domain is placed' is connected)

The buttons in the '2. area where the button with the public domain is displayed' are white,

(With the gray area '1. The area where the button with the individual domain is placed' is connected)

'3. No individual domain is also a public domain, but a button with a portion of its Internet address ("http: //", "https: //", "www." Buttons in the 'area' are white.

If, instead of FIG. 25,

If the colors of all three regions are all white,

It is very difficult to distinguish three areas, so it is difficult to find out where they are placed.
