However, as a touch screen combining a keypad function and a liquid crystal display function is commercialized, a mobile communication terminal equipped with the touch screen has recently been widely used.

In general, when entering characters on the touch screen, the consonant button and the vowel button of the keypad are touched, respectively. If the number of the consonant button and the vowel button is large, it is easy to find where the desired consonant button and the vowel button are located. If the number of consonant buttons and vowel buttons increases, the size of the consonant buttons and vowel buttons decreases, which causes a lot of typos. In the case of the alphabet, there are 26 consonants and vowels. In the case of assigning the consonants and vowels to each button, the above-mentioned problems become larger.

Currently, a plurality of consonants and a plurality of vowels are assigned to one button to reduce the number of consonant buttons and vowel buttons. In order to input the button, the button must be repeatedly touched several times.

FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of the consonant button shown in FIG. 5, and FIG. 7 is a text input method according to the present invention. According to the second embodiment, a shape in which an additional consonant is input after inputting a vowel is illustrated.

The character input method according to the present invention may be configured such that when a drag signal or a press signal is applied to the consonant button 110, different types of vowels are input for each direction of the drag signal or the press signal. That is, when the drag signal or the press signal is applied upward to the consonant button 110, the vowel may be additionally input together with the consonant allocated to the consonant button 110 to which the drag signal or the press signal is applied.

For example, when a drag signal or a pressing signal is applied to the consonant button 110 to which 'K' is assigned, as shown in FIG. 5, the consonant assigned to the consonant button 110, that is, the 'K' The vowel 'A' may be configured to be additionally entered. In the present embodiment, only the case where 'A, O, E, I' is input when the drag signal or the pressing signal is applied to the consonant button 110 up, down, left and right, respectively, the drag signal or the pressing signal is applied. The type of vowel input for each direction may be variously changed. In addition, different vowels may be input according to the number of drag signals or pressure signals applied to the consonant button 110. For example, 'A' is input when the drag signal or the press signal is applied upward to the vowel button 120 once, and 'U' is input when the drag signal or the press signal is applied twice. It may be configured.

In addition, the character input method according to the present invention, after inputting the vowel through the operation of the consonant button 110, the contact means (P) operating the consonant button 110 has been dragged to the other consonant button (110) When the dragging of the contact means P is terminated, the consonant allocated to the consonant button 110 may be further output to the input character output window 200. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, after inputting 'KA' by operating the consonant button 110 assigned to 'K', drag the contact means P to the consonant button 110 assigned to 'N'. In this case, a consonant assigned to the consonant button 110 positioned at the point at which the drag is finished, 'N' is additionally input, and 'KAN' may be output to the input text output window 200. In this case, the condition for determining that the drag is completed may be a case where the contact means P is stopped for a predetermined time or may be a case where the contact between the contact means P and the consonant button 110 is released. have.

When the vowel button 120 is configured to input a vowel by applying a drag signal or a press signal to the consonant button 110 as described above, the vowel button 120 may be omitted from the keypad 100, and thus, the keypad 100 may be used more widely. There is an advantage that it can.

Furthermore, a plurality of consonants may be allocated, but a plurality of consonant buttons 130 for outputting different consonants according to the direction of the drag signal or the press signal may be further provided. That is, two or more consonants are allocated to the plurality of consonant buttons 130, and any one of the consonants (default consonants assigned by default) selected when the touch signal is applied to the plurality of consonant buttons 130 is selected. The consonant may be configured to be displayed on the input text output window and to select another consonant among consonants assigned when a drag signal or a press signal is applied to the plurality of consonant buttons 130 to be displayed on the input text output window. In this case, when two or more consonants are selectable as the drag signal or the press signal is applied, that is, when three or more consonants are allocated to the plurality of consonant buttons 130, the drag signal or the press signal is applied to the plurality of consonant buttons 130. When is applied, different consonants are selected according to the drag direction or the press direction.

For example, when 'V, W, X, Y, Z' consonants are assigned to one consonant button 130 as shown in the present embodiment, the user applies a touch signal to the consonant button 130. When the 'V' displayed in the center of the consonant button 130 is selected, and the user applies a drag signal or a pressing signal in the up, down, left and right directions to the plurality of consonant buttons 130, 'W, Z, X, Y' displayed on the top, bottom, left and right sides are selected respectively. In this way, by assigning a plurality of consonants to the plurality of consonant buttons 130, there is an advantage that the keypad 100 can be used more widely.

In addition, all the consonant buttons 110 displayed on the keypad 100 may be set to the aforementioned multi-consonant buttons 130. As such, if all the consonant buttons 110 are configured to select different kinds of consonants according to the direction of the drag signal or the press signal, the space of the keypad 100 can be utilized more widely.

8 and 9 show a third embodiment of a character input method according to the present invention, FIGS. 10 and 11 show a fourth embodiment of the character input method according to the present invention, and FIGS. 12 and 13 show the present invention. A fifth embodiment of a character input method is shown.

The character input method according to the present invention can be applied to the case where 26 alphabets are represented by respective buttons as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9.

For example, when the rightward drag signal is input to the consonant button 110, 'A' is set to be input. As shown in FIG. 8, the user drags the rightward to the 'C' consonant button using the contact means (P). When the signal is input, the letter 'CA' is output to the input character output window 200, and dragging the contact means P to the 'P' consonant button in the state shown in FIG. When it is removed from the keypad 100, the 'P' consonant is additionally input, and the character 'CAP' is output to the input character output window 200.

At this time, when the drag signal to the right direction to the 'C' consonant button, the contact means (P) can be dragged out of the 'C' consonant button to the 'D' consonant button located on the right side of the 'C' consonant button In this case, the 'D' is added in contravention of the user's intention, and a phenomenon in which the letter 'CAD' is input may occur.

In order to solve the above problems, the character input method according to the present invention includes a consonant button in which dragging is terminated when the contact means P is dragged to pass a neighboring button from the consonant button 110 to which the drag signal is applied. Consonants assigned to 110 may be configured to be further input. For example, even if the contact means P is dragged from the 'C' consonant button to the right and dragged to the 'D' consonant button, 'D' is not input, and the contact means P passes through the 'D' consonant button. The 'P' consonant may be additionally input until the 'P' consonant button is dragged. In this way, even if the contact means P is dragged from one of the consonant buttons 110 and contacts another adjacent consonant button 110, the consonant corresponding to another neighboring consonant button 110 is not input. If it is configured to not, there is an advantage that can reduce the typo that consonant input against the user's intention is prevented.

In this case, different vowels may be input according to the number of drags or the number of presses applied to the consonant button 110. For example, 'A' is input when the drag signal or the press signal is applied to the consonant button 120 once in one direction, and 'O' is applied when the drag signal or the press signal is applied twice in one direction. It may be configured to be input. That is, when the right drag signal is input to the 'C' consonant button once, the letter 'CA' is output to the input character output window 200, and as shown in FIG. 10, the right drag signal to the 'C' consonant button is shown. When the input twice, the character 'CO' may be output to the input character output window 200. Meanwhile, the touch screen may further include an enlargement window 210 for enlarging and outputting a character being input so that the user can more clearly recognize what consonants and vowels are currently combined and what characters are input. have. As such, the enlarged window 210 for enlarging and outputting the currently input character is currently applied to various types of mobile phones, and thus a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In addition, the character input method according to the present invention, when the drag signal is applied to the consonant button 110 reciprocating one or more times in one direction, it detects how many times the drag signal or the pressing signal is applied in the first application direction It may be configured to recognize the number of drags or the number of presses. For example, when a user drags the contact means P to the right without dragging from the keypad 100 as shown in FIG. 11 and then to the left and then to the right again, the first direction is applied. As shown in FIG. 10, the letter 'CO' may be output by not allowing only the drag signal to the right direction but the drag signal to the left direction.

On the other hand, as mentioned above, when the drag signal or the press signal applied to the consonant button is reciprocated one or more times in one direction, the number of times of dragging all the drag signals or the press signal regardless of the direction of the applied drag signal or the press signal Or it may be configured to recognize the number of presses. For example, when the drag signal is applied to the 'C' consonant button in the right direction and then the drag signal is applied to the 'C' consonant button in the left direction, the drag signal to the left direction is drag signal to the right direction. By counting to, the first signal applying direction, that is, the right direction drag signal may be configured to recognize that a total of two times applied. In this case, the user drags the contact means P to the right on the 'C' consonant button to output the letter 'CA', and then drags the contact means P to the left again on the 'C' consonant button ' CO 'can be printed.

In addition, in the character input method according to the present invention, after the drag signal is input to the consonant button 110, the vowels input while the contact means P is in contact with the keypad 100 and remain stopped are sequentially. It can be configured to change. For example, after the drag signal is input to the 'C' consonant button and the contact means P stops for less than 1 second while the drag is completed, the letter 'A' is input and the letters 'CA' are combined. In the case of stopping for more than 1 second, the 'O' collection may be input so that the letters 'CO' are combined.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 12, touch the 'C' consonant button to input 'C' and touch the 'A' consonant button to input 'A', and then, as shown in FIG. ) Even when dragging the 'P' consonant button, the character 'CAP' may be output to the input character output window 200. As described above, the process of inputting the consonant through the drag signal input is the same as the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 9, and thus a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Meanwhile, the character input method according to the present invention can be embodied as computer readable codes on a computer readable recording medium. Computer-readable recording media include all types of recording devices that store data that can be read by a computer system. Examples of computer-readable recording media include ROM, RAM, CD-ROM, magnetic tape, hard disk, floppy disk, optical data storage, and the like, and also in the form of carrier waves (e.g., transmission over the Internet). It also includes implementations. The computer readable recording medium can also be distributed over network coupled computer systems so that the computer readable code is stored and executed in a distributed fashion. And functional programs, codes and code segments for implementing the present invention can be easily inferred by programmers in the art to which the present invention belongs.
