Are arranged. The arrangement of the basic strokes is arranged by statistically considering the frequency of use of the basic strokes, so that users can input kanji more easily and quickly.

A basic stroke consists of a stroke that is a collection or a collection of several strokes, and some basic stroke may itself be a side or a finisher. Accordingly, the basic stroke is described in the input unit 110 regardless of its configuration, and is a concept formed so that many Chinese characters can be inputted easily and quickly.

According to various embodiments, the input unit 110 may be arranged in a QWERTY manner in one area of the keyboard or touch screen. By combining the Chinese character input method according to the basic strokes and the input method in the keyboard environment through the input unit 110 by the QWERTY method, the user can input kanji more quickly and accurately.

According to various embodiments, the blocks on which the base strokes are printed may include a first row, a second row, and a third row located at any point in the input section 110. These rows are arranged as shown in FIG.

As a non-limiting example, as shown in FIG. 2, basic strokes are allocated to 10 blocks corresponding to alphabetical characters Q to P in the first row 111. [ In addition, the first row 111 includes not only the basic stroke block but also a rotation block 117. Thus, the first row 111 includes a total of nine basic stroke blocks and one rotation block.

According to various embodiments, the rotation block 117 may be provided independently of the basic stroke blocks or in combination with the basic stroke blocks to provide a rotation function. According to one embodiment, the rotation function is a function that provides an interface such as, for example, a method of arranging Chinese characters together in a predetermined order, such as a so-called, and viewing the contents of a book explaining its meaning and the like. This rotation function arranges each Chinese character according to the number of strokes and strokes, and can display each character's own character, consonant, letter, and operation easily. A method of searching for or inputting Chinese characters using the rotation key block 117 will be described later in detail with reference to FIG.

The stroke is input by pressing the corresponding key while holding the selection key block 119.

In the third row 115 located at the lower end of the second row 113, basic strokes are included in seven blocks in which the alphabets Z to M are printed. According to some embodiments, one or more selection key blocks 119 may be included in the third row 115 of the input unit 110 or the input unit 110. The selection key block 119 can select one of the basic strokes displayed in the basic stroke block according to the input method. The selection key block 119 may correspond to a 'shift' used on an existing keyboard.

The number and arrangement of the blocks shown in the first row 111 to the third row 115 are arbitrary and may vary according to the conditions and policies implementing the input unit 110. [

The Chinese character is input to the display unit 120 through the input unit 110 as described above. The display unit 120 may be implemented in a monitor as shown in FIG. 3A or in a region on a touch screen of a smartphone as shown in FIG. 3B.

According to various embodiments, the display unit 120 includes a first area 121 representing a serial number, a second area 122 displaying an incomplete character (e.g., ancillary), a third area 123 displaying a finisher, And a result window area 124 for displaying the finisher selected by the user.

First, a plurality of numbers are arranged in ascending order in the first area 121, and predetermined numbers (for example, 1 to 10) may be displayed as Arabic numerals as shown in FIG. However, the number and arrangement of numbers in the first area 121 of the embodiment of the present invention are not limited to those shown in FIG.

The display unit 120 may display the second area 122 and the third area 123 in the area adjacent to the first area 121. [ 2, the second area 122 is located at the lower end of the first area 121, and includes a basic stroke input when a user inputs a specific basic stroke through the input unit 110 One or more unfinished characters (e.g., the number of copies) are displayed. An index refers to a figure in the index as a representative of each department in rotation.

According to various embodiments, when a basic stroke is input, in the second area 123 of the display unit 120, one or more unfinished characters (e.g., the number of copies) correspond to the serial numbers displayed in the first area 121 Are displayed in the blank areas of the second area 122, respectively. The order in which the unfinished characters are displayed can be determined according to conditions such as a pseudo order or a frequently used order.

A predetermined number (e.g., 10) of incomplete characters (e.g., numbers) directly associated with the basic strokes arranged in the respective blocks are arranged in the second area 122, and a selection is made among the unfinished characters It is possible to easily and quickly input a complicated kanji (that is, a finisher). In this case, the most frequently used collocations can be selected by pressing the first stroke composing the collocations, and the collocated ones can be found by the combination of strokes up to the second or third strokes.

The third area 123 is located at the upper end of the first area 121. When the basic stroke is input, the third area 123 is formed by at least one constituent The final element that contains the element is displayed.

The user can select any of the displayed finishers in the third area 123 and the display unit 120 can display the finisher selected by the user in the result window area 124. [

According to one embodiment, the unfinished character (e.g., the number of characters) displayed in the second area 122 and the finisher displayed in the third area 123 can be distinguished from each other and displayed. For example, the unfinished characters displayed in the second area 122 can be displayed in red, and the finisher displayed in the third area 123 can be displayed in black. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the colors of the incomplete and the finisher can be distinguished and output in various colors.

According to one embodiment, for an incomplete character displayed in the second region 122, if there is an input of a user selecting a specific incomplete character, a check mark may be displayed to check that the block with the selected incomplete character is selected. In this case, among the blocks included in the second area 122, the unfinished blocks displayed in the remaining blocks except the block selected by the user can be continuously displayed.

According to various embodiments of the present invention, the display unit 120 may display the second area 122 and the third area 123 according to various modes. First, when a basic stroke is input, a mode in which an incomplete character (e.g., number of copies) including the basic stroke is displayed in the second area 122 and the third area 123 of the display unit 120, The number of copies including the basic stroke is displayed in the second area 122 of the display unit 120. After the desired number of copies is selected from the displayed number of copies, the completion number including the number of copies is displayed in the third area 123 And may include a mode that is displayed sequentially.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a process of inputting Chinese characters in the Chinese character input apparatus 100 according to various embodiments of the present invention. Each of the steps of FIG. 4 may be omitted at least in part and may be performed in a mutually reversed order.

First, in order to input a Chinese character, the user can input a basic stroke (S405). For example, the user can input a basic stroke by pressing the keyboard shown in FIG. 3A or touching one area on the touch display shown in FIG. 3B.

Then, the control unit 140 may display the unfinished characters (e.g., the number of copies) and the finisher associated with the inputted basic stroke through the display unit 120 (S410). In this case, the unfinished character of the second area 122 including the inputted basic stroke and the finisher of the third area 123 can be distinguished from each other and displayed.

Next, the control unit 140 can confirm whether an additional basic stroke is input (S415). For example, the user can input the second basic stroke on the input unit 110 without selecting the incomplete character or the finisher after inputting the first basic stroke. Then, the control unit 140 displays the contents displayed in the second area 122 and the third area 123 of the display unit 120 as contents of incomplete characters including both the first basic stroke and the second basic stroke, Can be changed.

If the additional basic stroke is not input, the controller 140 may determine whether the user selects an incomplete character associated with the inputted basic stroke (i.e., including the basic stroke) (S420). If the unfinished character is selected, the control unit 140 may change the content displayed in the third area 123 of the display unit 120 to a finisher including the selected unfinished character (S425). In this case, the control unit 140 may display an index (e.g., a check mark) indicating that the user has selected the incomplete character in the block corresponding to the selected incomplete character, and the block corresponding to the non- The display contents can be maintained.

In addition, the control unit 140 may determine whether the finisher is selected (S430). If the finisher is selected, the control unit 140 may control the display unit 120 to display the selected finisher in the result window area 124 (S435).

Next, the control unit 140 may determine whether the user has terminated the Chinese character input (S440). The termination of the Chinese character input may be performed, for example, by terminating the display unit 120 of the Chinese character input apparatus 100, but is not limited thereto. If it is determined that the Chinese character input is terminated, the control unit 140 may terminate the operation of FIG. On the contrary, if the end event does not occur, the control unit 140 may maintain the existing display content (S445) or display the content according to the new input and provide the related Chinese character input function (S445).

 5 is a flowchart illustrating functions of a rotation block in the Chinese character input device 100 according to various embodiments of the present invention.

As described above, the Chinese character input device 100 can provide the rotation function. When the user selects the rotation block 117 of the input unit 110 (S510), the control unit 140 can execute a jade window (not shown) through the display unit 120. [ Such a Chinese character window is an execution window for providing a function of the Chinese character dictionary in one area of the display unit 120, and can provide information such as the number of copies, total character, consonant, abbreviation, and the like.

In one example, the control unit 140 may receive a number together with the basic stroke or the number of copies through the input unit 110 or the keypad window. In operation S550, the control unit 140 may display the number of strokes or completions corresponding to the strokes added to the input basic strokes or strokes.

However, since the above embodiment is an embodiment for searching for Chinese characters through the number of copies, it is also possible to search for Chinese characters by another method. For example, when the user inputs a specific number through the window, the control unit 140 may detect the input number as a total number and display a Chinese character corresponding to the total number of strokes.

The control unit 140 may output additional information such as a Chinese character, a note, a note, etc. to be searched for by the user through the Chinese character input window, so that the user can easily input Chinese characters Function can be provided.

According to one embodiment, the control unit 140 may link the X window with the input unit 110 or the display unit 120. [ For example, the control unit 140 can display the Chinese characters searched through the Chinese character window in a selectable manner. When the Chinese character selected by the search is selected by the user, the control unit 140 displays the selected Chinese character through the display unit 120 It may be marked as incomplete or completed.

According to the embodiment described above, users who are not familiar with Chinese characters can easily search for Chinese characters, and by inputting them, it is possible to alleviate the access barrier of Chinese characters input.

The steps of a method or algorithm described in connection with the embodiments of the present invention may be embodied directly in hardware, in software modules executed in hardware, or in a combination of both. The software module may be a random access memory (RAM), a read only memory (ROM), an erasable programmable ROM (EPROM), an electrically erasable programmable ROM (EEPROM), a flash memory, a hard disk, a removable disk, a CD- May reside in any form of computer readable recording medium known in the art to which the invention pertains.
