Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to character communication (e-mail) such as the Internet using Egyptian hieroglyphs.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional computers, mobile computing terminals, portable telephone terminals, simple portable telephone terminals (P
HS), character communication (e-mail: hereinafter, collectively referred to as “e-mail”) using the pager terminal or the like (hereinafter, collectively referred to as “terminal”), such as alphabets, katakana, hiragana, kanji, etc. Ordinary characters ").

[0003]

The new use of Egyptian hieroglyphs enables the spread of special character education and the expansion of the area of play (games) such as pseudo secret communication for children.

[0004]

A character code is newly added to an Egyptian hieroglyph, or a conversion function using an existing code is added, and an Egyptian hieroglyph input function and display are performed on an input device such as a keyboard of a terminal. Then, the entered characters are displayed on the display and transmitted by e-mail.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, pseudo-secret communication is made possible by providing a character code for Egyptian hieroglyphs or by providing a conversion function using an existing code. It is possible to expand the area of play (game) such as pseudo secret communication for children. The input function of the Egyptian hieroglyph and the display (Fig. 1) are added to the character input keys on the input device such as the keyboard and the display of the transmitting terminal, and the normal character is input and converted to the Egyptian character or the Egyptian hieroglyph is directly input. This is a system that creates a text of an e-mail and transfers character codes corresponding to Egyptian hieroglyphs. The receiving terminal receives the data in Egyptian hieroglyphs and displays it on the display (FIG. 2). In addition, by providing a function that allows mutual conversion from Egyptian hieroglyphs to normal characters using the character conversion key, normal characters can be displayed. FIG. 3 shows a flowchart of the entire process.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, there is provided an input display of a computer, a portable telephone terminal or the like using an Egyptian hieroglyph. The input function (FIG. 2) and the input function of the Egyptian hieroglyph are provided to the character input keys on the input device such as the keyboard and the display of the terminal.

According to the third aspect of the present invention, a pseudo-secret sentence such as an electronic diary can be created by creating a sentence using the Egyptian hieroglyphs in the sentence creation function using the Egyptian hieroglyphs. FIG. 4 shows a flowchart of the processing.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A new character code is added to an Egyptian hieroglyph or an Egyptian hieroglyph is recognized using an existing code, and the Egyptian hieroglyph is input on an input key of an input device of the terminal as shown in FIG. In addition to displaying characters,
Normal characters can be input, and after input, they can be converted to Egyptian hieroglyphs. After creating the document, transfer the character code by e-mail. It is displayed in Egyptian hieroglyphs on the display of the receiving terminal. Also, mutual conversion to normal characters such as alphabets is possible if necessary.

[Embodiment] The present invention can be applied to a game such as a child's pseudo secret communication game. It can also be used for teaching materials of ancient characters researchers and students.

According to the present invention, the play of children is expanded. Also, researchers and students of ancient script can learn Egyptian hieroglyphs faster.
