[Invention Title]
APPARATUS FOR TYPING JAPANESE USING BASIC ALPHABET
[Technical Field]
<i> The present invention relates to an apparatus for typing Japanese using a basic alphabet, and more particularly to an apparatus for typing Japanese having a keypad including a basic alphabet selected based on a stroke order of a basic character of Katakana and Hiragana, and a function key for inputting a geminate consonant, a syllable, a voiced consonant, and a semi- voiced consonant .
<2>
[Background Art]
<3> Japanese is constituted of 46 basic characters, transformed characters spelling voiced consonants, and semi-voiced consonants, and a lowerscript spelling a syllable, and the above characters are spelled as two kinds of characters, i.e. Katakana and Hiragana. Therefore, the number of the spelled characters of Japanese is more than that of input keys of a general keyboard of a computer. Thus, the keyboard for inputting Japanese is allocated with 46 basic characters and various conversion keys for usage, so it requires lots of time and effort to input the characters.
<4> Further, as the number of input keys is extremely limited in a mobile communication terminal and various electronic devices, the number of characters of Japanese allocated to each number key is increased so that the number of pressing times of a key button for inputting the character is more increased.
<5> FIG. 1 is an exemplary view illustrating an array of input keys allocated with a character of Japanese in a conventional portable terminal. Referring to FIG. 1, a character in each
row,
row,
row,
row,
row, row,
row, and
row are allocated to number keys 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9,
and
characters are allocated to a number key 8, and h , and characters are allocated to a number key 10 of the portable
terminal. Therefore, a maximum of 5 characters are allocated to a single number key so that the difference of pressing times of the number key for inputting each character is increased, and its average pressing time is also increased. For example, in order to input
in
row, the character is converted in a sequence of
whenever pressing a number key 1, so that five times of pressing are finally required. If a user wants to input each of 46 basic characters except for an additional operation key such as a movement key, the user should press 15 times the number keys 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 9, and 6 times the number keys 8 and 10, respectively, so that the total number of pressing times of the number key becomes 132 times. <6> The prior art for solving the difficulty in inputting Japanese is disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2004-0011279 entitled "APPARATUS FOR TYPING JAPANESE AND METHOD THEREOF" and Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2004-0012219 entitled "JAPANESE LANGUAGE INPUT APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MOBILE COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT." The above prior arts disclose the methods in which a key input apparatus added with a plurality of function keys is mounted so that each character in the character rows is allocated according to a sequence by using the function keys and a Japanese pronunciation is input with Korean according to the rows and columns of the Japanese Katakana syllable table. However, there is a problem in that the function key is additionally mounted and a Japanese person not good at Korean has difficulty in inputting Japanese through the above method. Further, there is a method for inputting Japanese using an English alphabet, but it requires the user to press the key many times and a person not good at English has difficulty in inputting Japanese through this method.
