Definitions
- the present invention relates to a character input device of a portable ⁇ having a communication function used as a character input device of a mobile phone and a data communication terminal.
- FIG. 9 is a front view of a general mobile phone. It consists of a display 02, an antenna 03, a speech force 04, a microphone 05, an electromagnetic switch 10, a mode switching switch 11, a 4-way joystick 12, a letter key 17, and a main unit 16. I have.
- a mobile phone generally has about 12 character keys and about 4 keys to convert various modes so that characters can be input on the same plane as the display (information display section).
- FIG. 10 is a front view of a conventional character input device of a foldable mobile phone.
- a hinge mechanism 14 is provided at the center to fold the display and keyboard so that they face each other when not in use. It is convenient to carry because it is small.
- Both mobile phones and PDAs have character keys flush with the display. Or, as shown in Fig. 10, models that can fold the plane with the character keys and the plane with the display when not in use have a tilt angle between the display and the keyboard like a notebook computer. However, in both of Figs. 9 and 10, the keyboard is It is a plane seen from the user in front.
- a right-handed user holds the mobile phone with his right hand, brings the display to the front of his eyes, moves his right thumb, and presses the keys one after another. Press.
- the speed at which the text is created is determined by the input speed at which the thumb presses each key.
- the speed of inputting using only the thumb is slower than the speed of inputting using 10 fingers of both hands like a laptop computer. This is because the range of movement of the thumb is too large because the number of keys assigned to the thumb is too large, and the range of movement of the thumb is too wide and the blind touch (the key pressed is displayed without looking at the key pressed). This is because it is extremely difficult to perform the operation of pressing a key while looking at only the display that is running.
- the present invention is to increase the character input speed of a mobile phone such as the mobile phone shown in FIG. It has four or more keys on the left side and three or more keys on the right side, a four-way joystick, and an on-hook Z-off-hook switch on the back side, which is approximately perpendicular to the plane of the display. Then, as shown in Fig. 2, three or more keys on the right side and the joystick are in charge of the holding thumb, and four or more keys on the left side are in charge of the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger, respectively. I do.
- the index finger is responsible for the on-hook Z off-hook switch on the back.
- keys 07-1 to 07-4 By properly determining the key spacing from keys 07-1 to 07-4, the thumbs can simultaneously press keys 07-1 and 07-2.
- keys 0 7-2 and 0 7-3 are pressed at the same time and keys 0 7-3 and 0 7-4 are pressed at the same time, you can select 8 ways by including the case where neither key 0 7 is pressed. .
- the index finger is in charge of the on-hook Z off-hook switch on the back (this keeps the pressed state even if you release the key if you press the key), and with this you can enter 80 different characters in two operations it can.
- the character input speed is further increased.
- the number of keys assigned to the right thumb varies depending on the language used, so it may be necessary to increase or decrease according to the language used in each country.
- the four-way joystick at the top of the right side is used to specify the character input position on the display (moving the cursor), or to convert “hiragana” to “kanji” in Japanese, for example. This is also handled by the thumb.
- four arrow directional keys serving as a four-way joystick are provided in place of the four-way joystick. This is also operated with the thumb.
- mobile phones and small PDA devices that are held in one hand and operated with the fingers of the same hand Since the character input speed can be much faster than the current situation, the user's convenience can be greatly improved.

- the number of keys assigned to the thumb on the right side varies depending on the language of the country used, so it is necessary to increase or decrease according to the language used by each country.
- the four-way joystick at the top of the right side is used to specify the character input position on the display (moving the cursor), for example, in Japanese, to convert "hiragana” to "kanji” .
- a portable work machine which is held by one hand and operated by the finger of the same hand or a small PDA can increase the character input speed much faster than the current state, so that the user's convenience is greatly improved.
- FIG. 3 is a front view of the character input device of the foldable portable telephone according to the present invention.
- a hinge structure 14 is provided at the center to fold the display unit and the operation unit such as the power switch so that they face each other when not in use. It is convenient to carry because it is small.
- the keys on the left and right sides of this model are used to operate the upper housing with display and the comfort switch. It is provided on both lower housings with working parts. This is because the left-side key 06 and the right-side key 07 are arranged in the small housing in accordance with the distance between the fingers of the hand.

- FIG. 8 is a diagram of the character input device of the mobile phone of the present invention in which the four-way joystick 08 of FIG. 1 is moved from the right side to the left side.
- FIG. 13 shows the mobile phone of FIG. 1 in which the input characters corresponding to the keys are always printed and displayed on the front of the main body of the mobile phone in order to guide the input characters corresponding to the keys. This is convenient when inputting characters to the mobile phone or the small PDA »of the present invention.
- Fig. 14 shows the mobile phone of Fig. 1 corresponding to the key selected by the thumb on the display of a portable device or a small PD ⁇ to guide the input characters corresponding to the state of the key selected by the thumb.
- Input characters can be displayed. When displayed, press the key at the top of Fig. 1-06-1 to enter the characters at the top of the display. When the thumb selects another key, the text displayed on the display changes accordingly. Since the example of the mobile phone shown in Fig. 14 has five keys on the left side, five characters are displayed on the display. Key input guidance can be used effectively in the small display of a portable device. As shown in Fig. 12, you can select eight ways with your thumb and two ways with on-hook / off-hook switches, so you can guide key input in the display in 16 ways. Furthermore, if another mode switch is provided on the front, the guidance on the display can be expanded to 32 ways.
- FIG. 15 shows another preferred embodiment of the character input device for a portable telephone according to the present invention.
- Main unit 01 Display 02, Antenna 03, Speaker 04, Microphone 05, Left side key 06, Right ⁇ ij side Two-way arrow key 07, Four-way joystick 08, Back side on-hook It consists of a Z off-hook switch 09, a source switch 10, a variety of mode switching switches 11 and a 4-way joystick 12.
- Fig. 15 differs from the input device of the portable H-type device in Fig. 1 in the following two points.
- Three 2-way arrow keys are lined up on the right side! /, Then, if you select one each with your thumb, 6 ways will be selected at the same time, 0 7-1 and 0 7-2, 0 7-3 and 0 7-4, 0 7-5 and 0 7-6 Then, you can select 10 ways including 3 ways in 3 sets, including 1 way when no key is selected.
- the total number of keys on the left side is four, and the key surface is between the front of the mobile phone and the left side, which is almost vertical. This is to prevent the mobile phone from being pushed to the left by the force of the key pressed by the right thumb.
- the first joint 18 of the index finger on the left side (see Fig. 16)
- the body is placed in a position where the swing of the body is stopped and the index finger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger can easily press the key.
- Use of the mode switching switch further increases the number of input characters.
- FIG. 16 is an external view of the mobile phone shown in FIG. 15 while characters are being input. Industrial applicability
