WO2016080473A1 - Method for inputting korean by thrice repeated operation using same keys for consonants, vowels and batchim - Google Patents

Abstract

Conventionally, in order to reduce the number of keys used for inputting Korean characters, characters are input while combining character elements at the time of input. However, the number of key operations increases as the number of keys is reduced. In the present invention, constituent elements of characters are categorized into consonants, vowels and batchim. Every character can be input by three presses using 27 keys and a space bar. For each key, the first press selects a consonant, the second press selects a vowel, and if the character is a combination of a consonant and a vowel, the character is set by pressing the space bar third. If the character is a combination of a consonant, a vowel and a batchim, by pressing the batchim third, the character is automatically set. Thus, in comparison to the 26 keys used for alphabetic characters, by adding only one key, every character can be input using 27 keys and the space bar.

Description

Korean input method for inputting consonants, vowels, and patches by the same key every 3 times.

The present invention relates to Korean character input using a keyboard.

Mainly on keyboards used in personal computers, the basic consonants (plain sounds and stuttering sounds) are assigned to the 14 keys on the left, and the vowels (vowels and some double vowels) are assigned to the 12 keys on the right. In addition, the shift key is used to input characters in a two-volume format, such as changing some keys to dark and double vowels, and using the 24 keys to add the consonant and vowel, and from the second to the seventh press including the shift key. Although a character is formed by a lowering operation and displayed on the cursor, a series of operations that are pushed up and lifted are referred to as pressing.

In general, character input on a PC keyboard required pressing from twice (399 characters) to seven times (10,773 characters) including the shift key.

The structure of all Korean characters is classified into three types: consonant, vowel, and patch. Each consonant, vowel, and patch are defined as “parts”. ", A character composed of consonant and vowel parts is called" two-part character ", and a character composed of consonant, vowel and patch is" three-part character ".

“Keyboard” is a soft keyboard displayed on the screen of a hard keyboard or liquid crystal screen for a personal computer, and “button” or key used on the keyboard is “key”. "Waiting state" is the state waiting for the first tap operation to input characters, and "Waiting state" is the state waiting for the next key operation after tapping from this waiting state. It is defined as “input confirmation” that one character is inputted and confirmed by the above.

A keyboard with 28 or more keys including software and hardware, such as a QWERTY layout, and a temporary key specified arbitrarily as a “space” key, and 27 keys other than the space key. From the standby state, the input information of 19 consonants is arbitrarily distributed to 27 keys other than the space key and can be selected by the first tap, and the input information of 21 vowels is arbitrarily selected from 27 keys other than the space key. By assigning keys to the second tap, the input information of 27 patches can be arbitrarily selected to 27 keys other than the space key by selecting the third tap. From 1 to 3 different types of parts are arbitrarily distributed, and the key to which the consonant part is distributed from the standby state is selected with the first tap, Select the key to which the vowel part is assigned from the standby state with the second tap and select the space key with the third tap from the standby state to enter the two-part character composed of the consonant and vowel part. However, when the key to which the patchum part is assigned is selected by the third tap from the operation waiting state, the three-part character composed of the consonant, the vowel, and the patchum part is entered, and enters the standby state. It is an input method in which one character is input for each tap, but the selection order setting by consonant, vowel, and patch tap can be arbitrarily changed.

On the touch panel or display screen, a keyboard composed of keys according to consonant parts is arbitrarily set in a standby state, and when the desired key is selected as the first tap from the set keyboard, the keyboard is arbitrarily arranged. A keyboard composed of keys based on vowel parts is set and enters the operation waiting state. When the desired key is selected as the second tap from the keyboard set from the operation waiting state, the key depending on the patch part is arbitrarily arranged. A keyboard composed of one temporary space key specified arbitrarily is set and enters an operation waiting state, and a desired key is selected as a third tap from the keyboard set from the operation waiting state. If the first tap is a space key, it consists of the consonant and vowel selected by the first and second taps. If the second letter is input and the third tap is a patch key, the third letter composed of the consonant, vowel and patch selected at the first, second and third taps is entered and confirmed. An input method in which a keyboard composed of keys based on consonant parts is reconfigured in an arbitrary arrangement, enters a standby state, and one character is input every three taps. By consonant, vowel, and patchum taps. The selection order can be changed arbitrarily, and a keyboard composed of different types of parts is displayed for each tap described above in hard key input. The displayed keyboard is used for guidance for character input. It is diverted as an image, the diverted image is set as a “guide map”, and the guide map is set under the cursor or at an arbitrary position.

∙ Since all characters can be entered simply by pressing the key three times, the number of pressings required for conventional character input can be reduced, thus speeding up the input.

Consonants, vowels and patchmes are classified as follows.
19 vowels of “Tables 1 and 2”, 21 vowels of “Tables 3 and 4” and 21 patchmes of “Tables 1 and 5” 27 of “Tables 1 and 5”

399 two-part characters are composed of 19 consonant parts and 21 vowel parts, and 10,773 three-part characters are composed of 19 consonant parts, 21 vowel parts and 27 patchmes parts. In total, 67 characters of 11,172 characters and consonants, vowels, and patch parts are added, so that all 11,239 characters can be selected (input).

As shown in FIG. 1, the consonant “Table 7” part is indicated on the upper right side of the middle key surface of the QWERTY keyboard, and the “Table 8” part is indicated on the upper right side of the upper key surface. The part of “Table 9” of the vowel on the lower left side and the part of “Table 10” on the lower left side of the upper key surface, and the part of “Table 11” on the lower left side of the lower alphabet “N” key surface And the part of “Table 12” of the patchum at the position shown in the figure on the lower right side of the upper key surface and the part of “Table 13” on the lower right side of the lower key surface. , Table 14 ”is shared with consonants.

FIG. 2 is a QWERTY full keyboard equipped with the keys of FIG. 1 and shows a method of inputting characters according to the present invention. The input of two-part characters and three-part characters is determined by pressing the key three times.

(A) Demonstrate how to input non-patch characters a) First time, press the key where the consonant of the character you want to input is displayed on the upper right side of the key b) Second time, the vowel of the character you want to input Press the key on the lower left side of the key surface. C) The third time, press the space key. D) The character composed of the part selected by the first and second presses is transferred to the cursor. As a result, the cursor moves to the right and returns to the standby state waiting for input, so that the first consonant, the second vowel, and the third space key are used to enter the standby state. You can enter characters.

(A) Demonstrate how to input a character with a patch b) First time, press the key where the consonant of the character you want to input is displayed on the upper right side of the key b) Second time, the vowel of the character you want to input Press the key on the lower left side of the key surface. 3) For the third time, try to input from the key that is displayed on the upper and lower right side, giving priority to the lower right side of the key surface. Press the key of the patch to be pressed. D) The character composed of the part selected by the 1st, 2nd and 3rd presses is automatically transferred to the cursor so that the cursor moves to the right for input. After returning to the standby state of waiting for the character, the characters can be input by repeating the first consonant, the second vowel, and the third patch to enter the standby state.

As described above, there are cases where there is no patchum, but there is no patchum by composing a character with the consonant and vowel part selected in the first and second times by pressing the space key for the third time, and transferring it to the cursor. The other characters are automatically composed of consonants, vowels, and patches, and pressed three times, and the characters with patches are input by transferring them to the cursor.

After pressing the first consonant part, if the shift key is pressed, it is determined that the first part character by the consonant part selected by the first press is selected, and the cursor moves to the right by being transferred to the cursor. Since it returns to the standby state waiting for input, it can be used for selection of a symbol or the like by inputting a one-part character by a consonant part.

If the shift key is pressed after pressing the vowel part for the second time, the consonant part caused by the first press is ignored and it is determined that a part of the character is selected based on the vowel part selected for the second time, and is transferred to the cursor. As a result, the cursor moves to the right and returns to a standby state waiting for input, so that one-part characters can be input using the vowel part.

When the shift key is pressed for the first time from the standby state, it is determined that a part of the character corresponding to the patched portion of the previously input character has been selected, and the character is replaced with the character on the right of the cursor. You can enter a one-part character, but you cannot enter it if you have entered previously or if there is no patch.

Fig. 3 shows a 3-digit code table that calls consonants, vowels, and patch parts as one part. The first two digits of the code are displayed on the left side of the table. The code value can be set arbitrarily, but the alphabetic characters and the alphabetic characters displayed on the QWERTY keyboard are used as they are, and the key to the right of the “L” key is the symbol. “#” Is the numerical value of the code.

In FIG. 3, the code “22G” is a consonant of “Table 15”, the code “33E” is a vowel of “Table 16”, the code “44P” is a patch of “Table 17”, and each is a single character. And “33Z” is blank and does not exist.

The leftmost column is a table of a three-digit character code list in which the first two digits are numerical values in ascending order and the upper row is the numerical values in alphabetical order at the end.

As a character input method, it has three memories for storing key signal data, each of which can be identified, and a key signal with consonant notation that is pressed for the first time from the standby state (start) Is used as a consonant key signal, and after confirming the consonant key signal, the data in all memories is reset, the first input data is stored in the memory named “M1”, and the second time in the memory named “M2” A key signal having a vowel notation to be depressed is set as a vowel key signal, the data of the vowel key signal is stored, a key signal having a patch notation to be depressed for the third time in a memory named “M3” is defined as a patch key signal, Stores the data of the patch key signal and the data of each key signal.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the entire key input. Hereinafter, the flowchart is divided into the first, second, third, and key depression states. The flowchart of FIG. 5 is in a standby state (start). If the key input signal is a shift key (S111), the presence / absence of M3 data is confirmed, and if there is no data (S112), the process returns to the standby state (start), but if there is data (S113), the first code numerical value is returned. A character with a code consisting of three digits including the two-digit “44” and the character data of M3 at the end is called (S114), the character is exchanged with the character at the left of the cursor (S115), and the process returns to the standby state (start). .

In the flowchart of FIG. 5, when the key input signal is not a shift key (S121) and is not a consonant key signal (S122) from the standby state (start), the process returns to the standby state (start), but in the case of a consonant key signal (S123). ) After each memory is reset (S124), the data is stored in M1 (S125), and the first two digits “22” as the code numerical value and the M1 data at the end are added to the three-digit code characters. Call (S126), the character is displayed on the cursor (S127), and a second key input signal is awaited (S128).

The flowchart of FIG. 6 waits for the second key input (S128), and if the key input signal is a shift key (S211), the first two digits “22” as the code numerical value and M1 data at the end are combined 3 The character of the code by the digit is called (S212), the character is exchanged on the cursor as a confirmed character (S213), and the process returns to the standby state (start).

The flowchart of FIG. 6 waits for the second key input (S128), and when the key input signal is not a shift key (S221) and is not a vowel key signal (S222), waits for the second key input signal (S222). Returning to S128), in the case of a vowel key signal (S223), the key signal data is stored in M2 (S224), and the first one digit “3” as the code numerical value and the M1 data as the second digit A character with a three-digit code including M2 data at the end is called (S225), the character is exchanged with the character displayed on the cursor (S226), and a signal for the third key input is awaited (S227). ).

The flowchart of FIG. 7 waits for the third key input (S227), and if the key input signal is a space key (S311), the first digit “5” as the code numerical value and the M1 data as the second digit sequentially. And the character of the code of 3 digits combining the data of M2 as the end is called (S312), the character is exchanged to the cursor as a confirmed character (S313), and the process returns to the standby state (start).

In the flowchart of FIG. 7, since the third key input is waited (S227), if the key input signal is not a space key (S321) but a shift key (S322), the first two digits “33” as a code numerical value are sequentially A character with a three-digit code including M2 data at the end is called (S323), the character is exchanged as a fixed character on the cursor (S324), and the process returns to the standby state (start).

The flowchart of FIG. 7 waits for the third key input (S227), so if the key input signal is not the space key (S321), not the shift key (S331), and not the patch key signal (S332), the third key is input. The process returns to waiting for an input signal (S227). However, in the case of a patch key signal (S333), the key signal data is stored in M3 (S334), M1 data as the first digit, and M2 as the second digit. The character of the code with three digits including the data and the data of M3 as the end is called (S335), and the character is exchanged and displayed as a fixed character (S336).

FIG. 2 shows an input process using an alphabetic key, a temporary “#” key, and a space key on the keyboard of FIG.
When the “G” key is pressed from the stand-by state, the code value of (G) is determined, when the “K” key is pressed, the code value of (GK) is pressed, and when the space key is pressed, the characters in “Table 28” of the code of (5GK) are determined When the “K” key is depressed, the code value (K) is depressed, the “E” key is depressed (KE), and the “F” key is depressed (KEF). ”Character returns to the standby state. Pressing the“ K ”key depresses the code value of (K), depressing the“ L ”key depresses the code value of (KL), depresses the space key of the code of (5KL). The character of “Table 30” is determined and returns to the standby state.

The structure of all Korean characters is classified into three types: consonant, vowel, and patch. Each consonant, vowel, and patch are defined as “parts”. ”, A character composed of consonant and vowel parts as“ part 2 ”, and a character composed of consonant, vowel and patch as“ part 3 ”on the screen of a personal computer keyboard or LCD The soft keyboard displayed on the keyboard is “keyboard”, the button or key used on the keyboard is “key”, the key is pressed down, and the operation to tap is “tap”. The state of waiting for the tap operation is set to “standby state”, the state of waiting for the next key operation after the tap from the standby state is set to “waiting for operation”, and one character is input and confirmed by the operation from the standby state of operation. “Input confirmation” is a keyboard with 28 or more keys including software and hardware such as a QWERTY layout, etc., and one temporary key specified arbitrarily as a “space” key, other than the space key From the stand-by state of the 27 keys, 19 consonant input information is arbitrarily distributed to 27 keys other than the space key, and can be selected by the first tap, and the input information of 21 vowels is optionally spaced. By making the selection to the 27 keys other than the keys possible by the second tap, the input information of the 27 patches can be arbitrarily selected to the 27 keys other than the space key by the third tap, One key has three different types of parts assigned to one to one, and the key to which the consonant part has been assigned from the standby state is assigned once. It is composed of consonant and vowel parts by selecting the key with the vowel part assigned from the operation waiting state, selecting the key with the second tap, and selecting the space key with the third tap from the operation waiting state. The input of the two-part character is confirmed, but when the key to which the patchum part is assigned is selected by the third tap from the operation waiting state, the input of the three-part character composed of the consonant, the vowel, and the patchum part is confirmed, and the standby state It is an input method in which one character is input every three taps, but the selection order can be changed arbitrarily by tapping consonants, vowels, and patches, and can be changed arbitrarily on the touch panel or display screen. A keyboard composed of keys based on consonant parts is set in a standby state, and the desired key is selected as the first tap from the set keyboard. Then, a keyboard composed of keys based on vowel parts is set in an arbitrary arrangement and enters an operation waiting state. When a desired key is selected as a second tap from the keyboard set in the operation waiting state, A keyboard composed of a key based on the patch location and one temporary space key that is arbitrarily specified in the arrangement is set and enters the operation waiting state, and the desired key is set from the keyboard set in the operation waiting state for the third time. Select as a tap, but if the third tap is the space key, the two-part character composed of the consonant and vowel selected by the first and second taps will be entered and confirmed, and the third tap will be the patch key In this case, the three-part character composed of consonant, vowel, and patchum selected by the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd taps will be input and confirmed. A keyboard composed of keys based on consonant parts is reset, enters a standby state, and one letter is entered every three taps. However, the selection order is set by tapping consonants, vowels, and patches. The keyboard composed of different types of parts is displayed for each tap as described above when inputting by hard key, but the displayed keyboard is diverted as an image for guiding character input. The diverted image is used as a “guide map”, and consonants, vowels, and patches are input by repeating the operation three times with the same key. Korean input method.
