Description
본 발명은 스마트폰 사용자가 한손을 이용할 때의 인터페이스 방법에 관한 것으로, 터치 입력을 인식하여 기능을 수행하는 장치에서 사용자가 쉽고 편리하며 빠르게 입력할 수 있도록 하여 사용 편의성을 향상시킨 사용자 인터페이스 방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to an interface method when a smart phone user uses one hand. The present invention relates to a user interface method for improving user convenience by allowing a user to easily, conveniently and quickly input a device that performs a function by recognizing a touch input. will be.
애플 등 대형 스마트폰 제조사들이 유저인터페이스(User Interface) 관련 특허를 취득하고 있으며, 타 제조사에 대해 그에 대한 권리를 행사하고 있는 실정으로, 앞으로 지속적으로 유저인터페이스에 대한 독점적 권리에 대한 주장이 계속될 것이다.Large smartphone makers such as Apple have acquired user interface patents and are exercising their rights over other manufacturers, and claims for exclusive rights to the user interface will continue. .
이런 추세와 함께, 대형 디스플레이를 탑재한 스마트 폰(Smart Phone)이 보급이 확대되면서 터치식 키패드를 통한 다양한 입력방법을 제공하고 있으며, 스마트폰 사용자들은 통화 및 문자전송 등을 위해 상황에 따라 사용자의 특성에 맞는 자판배열이나 인터페이스 제공을 요구하고 있다. 또한, 스마트폰의 디스플레이의 대형화 추세에 따라 사용자가 한손으로 원하는 키패드를 선택하여 숫자 및 문자의 입력을 제공할 수 있는 키패드 운영방법 또는 사용자 인터페이스 방법의 개발이 요구되고 있다.Along with this trend, as smart phones equipped with large displays have been expanded, various types of input methods have been provided through touch keypads. It is required to provide keyboard layout or interface suitable for the characteristics. In addition, according to the trend of larger displays of smart phones, there is a demand for developing a keypad operating method or a user interface method that allows a user to select a desired keypad with one hand and provide input of numbers and letters.
스마트폰 사용자는 통화시 또는 이동시에 숫자 및 문자를 한손을 이용하여 입력하는 경우가 빈번하고 이때에 대부분은 해당 기기를 쥐고 엄지를 이용하여 입력한다. 그렇지만, 4인치 이상의 대형 디스플레이로 구성된 스마트폰의 경우 엄지가 입력하고자 하는 키패드 문자에 접근하는데 불편함이 존재한다.Smartphone users frequently enter numbers and letters with one hand during calls or movements, and most of them use a thumb while holding the device. However, in the case of a smartphone configured with a large display of 4 inches or more, there is an inconvenience in accessing keypad characters that the thumb wants to input.
따라서, 본 발명은 상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 제안된 것으로, 4인치 이상의 대형 스마트폰에서 간단한 사용자 인터페이스를 통해 한손으로 편리하게 숫자 및 문자를 입력할 수 있도록 키패드를 엄지손가락을 중심으로 재배열하는 인터페이스를 제공하는 데 목적이 있다.Therefore, the present invention has been proposed to solve the above problems, rearrange the keypad around the thumb so that you can conveniently enter numbers and characters with one hand through a simple user interface in a large smart phone 4 inches or larger. The purpose is to provide an interface.
전술한 목적을 달성하기 위한 본 발명의 사용자 인터페이스 방법은 기존 디스플레이 하단에 키패드 제공상태(3열 x n행, 4열 x n행 방식 키패드)에서 사용자의 요청(오른쪽/왼쪽 Drag)에 따라 우측 또는 좌측에 재배열된 키패드(2열 x n행)를 제공하는 것을 특징으로 한다.The user interface method of the present invention for achieving the above object is in the right or left side according to the user's request (right / left drag) in the keypad provided state (3-column xn row, 4-column xn row type keypad) at the bottom of the existing display It is characterized by providing a rearranged keypad (2 columns xn rows).
본 발명에 따르면, 스마트폰 사용자가 한손으로 편리하고 빠르게 번호 및 문자를 입력할 수 있고, 기존 키패드에서 디스플레이의 먼 곳에 배치되어 있는 키를 입력하기 위해 폰을 움직이면서 다시 쥐는 불편함으로 인해 단말을 떨어뜨림으로 인해 파손되는 것을 사전에 예방할 수 있다.According to the present invention, a smartphone user can conveniently and quickly enter numbers and letters with one hand, and the terminal is dropped due to the inconvenience of holding the phone again while moving the phone to input a key disposed far away from the display from the existing keypad. This can prevent the damage in advance.
도1은 본발명의 실시예로 사용자의 엄지손가락을 중심으로 2열 x n 행으로 키패드를 재배열한 구성도이다.1 is a diagram illustrating a rearrangement of keypads in two columns by n rows around a user's thumb.
이하에서는 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예를 본 도면을 참조하여 상세하게 설명하도록 한다. 도 1은 본발명의 실시예를 오른손잡이 사용자를 기준으로 도식화한 것이다. 스마트폰에서 기본적으로 제공하는 숫자패드(3열 x 4행) 또는 문자패드(4열 x 4행) 에서(100) Drag와 같은 사용자의 요청에 따라 실시예(200)와 같이 엄지손가락을 중심으로 2열 6행, 2열 7행, 2열 8행 등과 같이 2열 x n행 형태의 키패드로 변환하여 재배열한다.Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 is a diagram of an embodiment of the present invention based on a right-handed user. In accordance with the user's request, such as the number pad (3 columns x 4 rows) or the character pad (4 columns x 4 rows) provided by the smartphone (100) Drag based on the thumb as in the embodiment (200) Rearrange it by converting it into a keypad of 2 columns xn rows such as 2 columns 6 rows, 2 columns 7 rows, 2
이때 숫자키와 문자키는 2열 x n행 배열은 엄지손가락을 중심으로 접근가능한 반경으로 우측 또는 좌측에 재배열하고, 상하단과 좌측에 여백에 입력내용이 표출될 수 있도록 인터페이스를 구성한다.At this time, the array of number keys and letter keys is rearranged on the right or left side with a radius accessible by the thumb, and the interface is configured so that the input contents can be displayed in the margin at the top and bottom and the left side.
왼손잡이 사용자의 경우, 오른손잡이 실시예와 동일한 방식으로 디스플레이 좌측에 엄지손가락을 중심으로 재배치한다.In the case of left-handed users, the thumb is repositioned around the left side of the display in the same manner as in the right-handed embodiment.
본발명으로 제공되는 사용자 인터페이스는 스마트폰 사용자의 입력의 편의성을 제공함으로써, 해당 단말을 구매함에 있어 경쟁사 대비 비교우위 요소를 제공한다. The user interface provided by the present invention provides a convenience of input of a smart phone user, thereby providing a comparative advantage compared to competitors in purchasing the terminal.
