Hereinafter, some examples of Hangul input by the Hangul input method of the mobile communication terminal according to the present invention will be described.

5A to 5C illustrate examples of a Hangul input method of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention.

As shown in Figure 5a, when entering "a", first ① consonant 'a' input, ② approaching the finger to the input device, using the fingers from top to bottom, ③ and using the fingers Draw from left to right.

As shown in FIG. 5B, when inputting "and", first, ① input consonant 'ㅇ', ② approach the input device with finger, and then use finger to move from top to bottom, ③ using finger. From left to right, use ④ fingers to draw from top to bottom, ⑤ and finger to draw from left to right.

In addition, as shown in Figure 5c, when the "fly" is input, first ① consonant 'b' is input, ② approaching the finger to the input device, finger up from the bottom, ③ finger from the left Right, ④ input the consonant 'ㄹ', ⑤ input the consonant 'ㄹ', ⑥ draw a finger from the top down, ⑦ and left to right after approaching the finger to the input device. Therefore, it is possible to enter the letter "fly" in a total of seven times.

However, in the case of the Cheonjiin method, in order to input the letter "fly", first ① input consonant 'b', ② input the vowel 'ㅣ', ③ input '·', ④ input the consonant 'ㄹ' '5' Press key twice, ⑤ Press '→' key on navigation key again to input consonant 'ㄹ', ⑥ Press '5' key twice to input consonant 'ㄹ', ⑦ Enter vowel 'ㅣ' , ⑧ It executes '·' input. Accordingly, it can be seen that the number of key inputs can be reduced three times compared to the Cheonjiin method by inputting the letters "flying" with a total of ten keystrokes.

Hereinafter, a more various input method will be described as an example.

Female-> ① Consonant 'ㅇ' input + ② After approaching the finger to the input device, finger from left to right, ③ finger from left to right, ④ and finger from top to bottom.

Example-> ① Enter consonant 'ㅇ' + ② Draw your finger from left to right, ③ finger from left to right, ④ finger from top to bottom, ⑤ and finger from top to bottom. .

Lee-> ① Consonant 'ㅇ' input + ② Draw a finger from top to bottom after approaching the finger to the input device.

--> ① Consonant 'ㅇ' input + ② Draw your finger from left to right after approaching the input device.

Consonant input is done by the following method. Consonant 'ㄱ' and consonant 'ㄲ' to number '1' button, consonant 'b' to number '2' button, consonant 'ㄷ' and consonant 'ㄸ' to number '3' button, consonant 'ㄹ' To the number '4' button, consonant 'ㅁ' to the number '5' button, consonant 'ㅂ' and 'ㅃ' to the number '6' button, consonant 'ㅅ' and 'ㅆ' to the number '7' button Consonants 'ㅇ' to the number '8' button, consonants 'ㅈ' and 'ㅉ' to the number '9' button, consonants 'ㅊ' and 't' to the '*' button, consonant 'ㅋ' On the '0' button and consonants 'ㅌ' and 'ㅎ' on the '#' button.

For the sound of 'ㄲ', 'ㄸ', 'ㅃ', 'ㅆ' and 'ㅉ', press the number '1', '3', '6', '7' or '9' button twice Enter it.

On the other hand, according to the Hangul input method of the present invention by connecting the number and the consonant one-to-one can achieve the advertising effect using the mobile phone number. For example, if a name such as 'Seocho-dong Korea Telecom' or 'Escap Telecom' is to be indicated by numbers, only the first consonant of each letter is followed. In the case of 'Seocho-dong Korea Telecom', the number corresponding to '7', '7', '*' Corresponding to 'ㅊ', '3' corresponding to 'ㄷ', '#' corresponding to 'ㅎ', '#' corresponding to 'ㅎ', '1' corresponding to 'ㄱ', 'ㅌ' '7' corresponding to '#' and 'ㅅ' corresponding to 'can be expressed as Seocho-dong Korea Telecom -----> 7 * 3-# 1 # 7, and in case of SK Telecom, -----> 8708-# 40

Thus, in the present invention, by displaying only 14 consonants without displaying a vowel on the numeric buttons, it is possible to represent a specific word or trade name or a product by a telephone number corresponding to only the first consonant of the letter.

However, in these input methods, 'ㅠ' and 'ㅟ' and 'ㅔ', 'TT' and 'ㅢ' and 'ㅓ', 'ㅐ' and 'ㅚ' have the same operation for input to the input device. I need a function that can give.

To do this, the following methods can be applied.

First, each vowel will be converted each time you press a separate key, such as the OK or Nate key.

Secondly, it recognizes the 'push' motion of simply dragging a finger to the input device, which indicates a short stroke, and the long stroke indicates a long stroke. For example, an input method for indicating 'ㅠ' Press and hold once to right and twice on the input device. To input 'ㅟ', draw from left to right and press the input device once and draw from top to bottom again.

Third, each vowel is changed by a long downward motion from top to bottom.

In other words, if you enter left to right, top to bottom, and top to bottom, 'ㅠ' is entered first. In this state, if you draw once more from top to bottom, it changes to 'ㅟ'. In this state, if you draw once more from top to bottom, it changes to 'ㅔ'. In other words, to enter 'ㅔ', you can draw once from left to right and four times from top to bottom. This is efficient because moving the finger up and down on the input device is easier and faster than finding and pressing the button.

In addition, a part that may be a problem in the input of the double consonants may appear in the input of 'wipe' or 'duck'. It enters 'da' three times after entering 'da', and the terminal does not recognize whether the letter is 'wipe' or 'duck'. However, the method of moving the cursor by pressing the navigation key '→' after inputting the final character of the first letter is contrary to the object of the present invention to input characters without using the navigation key. Therefore, even in this case, it will be possible to switch between 'wipe' and 'duck' using the push function of the input device.

In particular, the present invention can be used not only in mobile communication terminals but also in Korean input methods in general landline telephones.

In addition, the vowel input device according to the present invention may perform a screen scroll function, and recognizes a push operation as well as a finger movement of up, down, left, and right, and the function may be an enter key or an enter key. It can be used as a function key such as a shift key.

As such, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without changing the technical spirit or essential features thereof. Therefore, the above-described embodiments are to be understood as illustrative in all respects and not as restrictive. The scope of the present invention is shown by the following claims rather than the detailed description, and all changes or modifications derived from the meaning and scope of the claims and their equivalents should be construed as being included in the scope of the present invention. do.

As described above, the present invention can create the following effects.

1) Since you don't need a key to enter a vowel, you can assign 14 consonants to 12 keys. Therefore, since 10 consonants can be used alone, the number of key presses is drastically reduced compared to the conventional method of assigning two consonants to one key.

2) In the case of the same last trailing edge and trailing edge, such as 'flying', it was previously necessary to press the '→' key on the navigation key to move the cursor, but this method assigns 'ㄹ' to a single key. Press ㄹ 'twice in sequence to enter the first letter and the first letter.

3) Consonants and vowels are entered in different ways, so if you input consonants and vowels at the same time, you can recognize them without errors. For example, the terminal can recognize as a 'gi' even when the 'a' and the input pad are dragged from the top to the bottom to input the 'gi', thereby dramatically increasing the input speed.

This input method can replace the function of the navigation and can eliminate the navigation keys that take up a lot of space mechanically, which can drastically reduce the size of the terminal.
