Description

Method for inputting characters, terminal device and computer readable recording medium {METHOD, TERMINAL AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM FOR INPUTTING CHARACTER}

The present invention relates to a method for inputting characters, a terminal device and a computer readable recording medium. More specifically, the present invention determines which touch mode the first touch corresponds to among all touch modes that can be derived by combining the first to third fingers or at least two of the first to third fingers. After determining the position where the first touch was made as the reference area and then releasing the touch in the specific area with or without dragging in the initial touch state, the specific area is the reference area, the area adjacent to the reference area, or the reference area. The present invention relates to a method for determining which region of a region which is not adjacent to a region, and to input a Korean consonant, a Korean vowel, and other letters / symbols / numbers corresponding to a specific region, a terminal device, and a computer-readable recording medium.

Recently, various mobile terminals such as PDAs and UMPCs, including mobile phones, are being used due to the development of information and communication, and these mobile terminals are gradually miniaturized with the development of high technology. In the past, it was common for mobile terminals to separate display space and character input space separately.

The miniaturized mobile terminal has a problem in that the display space is also narrowed as the space itself is narrow. This is not only in line with the current trend of favoring large display screens, but also causes visual discomfort for the user.

Recently, in order to solve these problems and provide more convenience to the user, a number of mobile terminals employing a touch input keypad method have been introduced to the market. Character input of such a mobile terminal is implemented in such a way that a keypad composed of consonants and vowels is displayed on the touch screen, and the consonants and vowels are displayed when the user touches the consonants and vowels with an auxiliary means such as a hand or an input pen. . In the case of employing the touch input keypad method, since the keypad is displayed only when a user inputs a character input, there is an advantage that a relatively large display screen can be used at other times (eg, watching a satellite DMB program).

1 is a diagram schematically illustrating a state in which a touch input keypad is displayed on a screen according to a character input request of a user according to the related art.

Referring to the touch input keypad illustrated in FIG. 1, the consonant and vowel regions are too small to use an auxiliary means such as an input pen, and there is a problem in that a typo rate is greatly increased. There is a need for developing a technology that can increase the convenience of users.

It is an object of the present invention to solve all the problems described above.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to allow the user to input characters without looking at the keypad arrangement by inputting the corresponding characters according to the number of fingers touched on the screen, the congestion of the fingers and the touch release position of the fingers. .

In addition, the present invention provides a simple character input method that can be applied to all the various key arrangements, such as the existing heaven and earth, naraggle, sky, etc. simply by touching and dragging each button to input characters in a touch pad environment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily implement the present invention.

[Preferred Embodiments of the Invention]

According to embodiments of the present invention, when a character is desired to be input by using a touch screen of a mobile terminal, only the first to third fingers are used to input the character using only a few fingers. Character can be input. However, when the size of the corresponding touch screen is not small, characters may be input using all of the first to fifth fingers. In the following description, for convenience of description, a case in which a character is input using the first to third fingers will be mainly described, and a case in which all of the first to fifth fingers are used later will be briefly described.

2 is a diagram showing the overall configuration of a terminal device 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, the terminal device 200 according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include a display unit 210, a touch detector 220, an input manager 230, a communicator 240, and a controller 250. It can be configured as.

First, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the display unit 210 may be configured as, for example, a general touch panel. When a user performs a touch, drag, or release of a touch, a corresponding Hangul consonant and a Hangul vowel accordingly , Other characters / symbols / numbers can be displayed. In addition, the display unit 210 may or may not display a kiskin indicating a Korean consonant, a Korean vowel, or other characters / symbols / numbers corresponding to each area of the set keypad array.

Next, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the touch sensing unit 220 includes all the touch modes that can be derived by combining at least two fingers of the first to third fingers themselves or the first to third fingers. In the touch mode of the branch, that is, when touched by only the first finger, when touched by only the second finger, when touched by only the third finger, when touched by the first finger and second finger, Touched by the first finger and the third finger, touched by the second finger and the third finger, touched by the first to third fingers) 4 When the touch mode is selected (it can be selected according to the user's preference or selected as the default value), it is necessary to use a predetermined finger recognition technique to determine which touch mode the first touch by the user corresponds to. It can be determined, and performs the function of determining the reference area where the first touch is made.

Here, as a predetermined finger recognition technique for determining a touch mode, reference may be made to the specification of Korean Patent Application No. 2005-0091493 (the content of the above specification should be considered to be incorporated herein in its entirety). ). The specification describes a method of processing various character inputs by generating a key signal for a corresponding contact when a contact provided on each finger is contacted using an armored key input device.

Of course, the finger recognition technique applicable to the present invention is not limited to the method described above, and various modifications without using a glove-type key input device may be envisioned.

For example, as described in the specification of Korean Patent Application No. 2003-0090765, a technique of recognizing each finger with reference to fingerprint data on pre-stored fingers may be utilized. Should be considered to be incorporated herein in its entirety).

In addition, the touched finger may be recognized by virtually dividing the screen into two or more zones and determining which of the zones the touched finger has touched. Specifically, a technique of virtually dividing a screen to recognize a finger may include: i) dividing a screen into a left screen and a right screen, and when one finger is touched on the left screen, the touched by the second finger; When the finger of touch is touched by the third finger, when one finger touches each of the left and right screens, it can be recognized as being touched by the second finger and the third finger (in this case, two fingers Can be assumed to be touched by the second finger and the third finger without covering the left and right screens.), Ii) The screen is divided into an upper left screen, an upper right screen, and a lower screen. Is touched by the first finger when one finger is touched. When one finger is touched on the upper left screen and the lower screen, the first finger is touched. Touched by the finger and the second finger, when one finger is touched on the upper right screen and the lower screen, respectively, touched by the first finger and the third finger, one finger on the upper left screen, the upper right screen and the lower screen, respectively When touched, it may be recognized as touched by the first to third fingers. In this way, dividing the screen into two or three zones and recognizing the touched finger refers to the shape of the hand used for the touch, whereby seven touch modes can be distinguished. However, it is not necessarily limited thereto. For example, when the first finger touches the lower left screen, the recognition technology may be applied. Accordingly, in FIGS. 4 to 6 to be described below, the first finger is assumed to be touched on the lower left screen. It is shown as being virtually divided into four zones. In addition, the input of Hangul may also be implemented using only six touch modes among the seven touch modes (see description of FIGS. 4 and 5 to be described later), and other characters / symbols / numbers except Hangul 7 It may be implemented using all kinds of touch modes (see the description of FIG. 6 to be described later).

Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 3, an example of a character corresponding to a 'reference area' and a character corresponding to an area adjacent to or not adjacent to a 'reference area' is set up as shown in FIG. 3. If it is set, 'ㄴㄹ' corresponding to the center point of the keypad may be referred to as a character corresponding to the reference area (that is, the position on the touch screen where the first touch is made by the user is referred to as the reference area corresponding to the character 'ㄴㄹ'). The character included in each of the eight regions surrounding the 'ㄴㄹ' region may correspond to the region adjacent to the reference region, and is separated without directly contacting the 'ㄴㄹ' region. 'ㅇㅁ' included in the designated area may be a character corresponding to an area not adjacent to the reference area. As mentioned above, the character arrangement as shown in FIG. 3 may not be displayed on the touch screen, and the example of the character arrangement as shown in FIG. 3 may assume various modifications.

In addition, the touch sensing unit 220 according to an embodiment of the present invention determines the position where the first touch is made as a reference region, and then touches in a specific region with or without a drag action in the first touch state. When releasing is performed, a function of determining whether the specific area corresponds to a reference area, an area adjacent to the reference area, or an area not adjacent to the reference area may be performed.

In detail, the touch detector 220 determines that the touch is released in the reference area when the touch is released without performing a drag action in a state where the first touch corresponds to the first to fourth touch modes. When the touch is released after the drag operation is performed in a state where the first touch corresponds to the first to fourth touch modes, it is determined that the touch is released in an area adjacent to the reference area. When the touch is released after dragging in a state corresponding to the other touch modes except the touch mode, that is, the fifth to seventh touch modes, it may be determined that the touch is released in an area not adjacent to the reference area. have.

More specifically, referring to FIG. 3, when the first touch is released without performing a drag action in a state in which the first touch corresponds to the first to fourth touch modes (that is, the first touch is performed first). When the touched position of the touched position is the same as the position where the touch is released) is determined as the region where the touch is released, and the first touch corresponds to the first to fourth touch modes. For example, when the touch is released after the drag action is performed in the downward direction, it is determined that the 'ㅎ' area, which is an area adjacent to the bottom of the reference area, is the area where the touch is released, and the first touch is the fifth to seventh. If the touch is released after dragging downward in the touch mode, it is located below the reference area. The region 'ㅇㅁ', which is not adjacent to the quasi-region, may be determined as the region where the touch is released. In this case, the drag action may include both a straight or curved drag action.

In this case, the first to fourth touch modes include a case of inputting Korean consonants (consonant touch mode), a case of inputting Korean vowels (vowel touch mode), and a case of inputting other characters / symbols / numbers (other touch mode). According to the present invention, 1) the first consonant touch mode for inputting Korean consonants touches only the second finger, and the second consonant touch mode touches only the third finger. The third consonant touch mode indicates touch by the second finger and the third finger, and the fourth consonant touch mode indicates touch by both the first to third fingers, and 2) the first case for inputting Korean vowels. The vowel touch mode uses only a second finger to touch, the second vowel touch mode uses only a third finger, and the third vowel touch mode uses only a first finger and a second finger, and the fourth vowel touch. The mode is on the first and third fingers 3) In the case of inputting other characters / symbols / numbers, the first guitar touch mode uses only a second finger, and the second guitar touch mode uses only a third finger. It is assumed that the third guitar touch mode represents touch by the second finger and the third finger, and the fourth guitar touch mode indicates touch by both the first to third fingers.

Next, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the input manager 230 refers to the consonants and vowels corresponding to the corresponding area with reference to the result detected by the touch sensing unit 220 for the touch release of the finger. Alternatively, other functions such as letters / symbols / numbers can be input.

Specifically, the input manager 230,

1) If the area where the finger is released from touch (hereinafter, referred to as a specific area) is one of the reference area or one of the areas adjacent to the reference area, (i) the number of Korean consonants corresponding to the specific area is one or more and four or less. When the first touch corresponds to any one of the numbers and is the first to fourth consonants, the first consonant corresponding to a specific area is input when the first touch is a touch by the first consonant touch mode. In the case of the touch by the second consonant touch mode, if there is a second consonant corresponding to the specific region, the second consonant is input. When the first touch is the touch by the third consonant touch mode, the third corresponding to the specific region. If there is a consonant, the third consonant is input. If the first touch is a touch by the fourth consonant touch mode, the fourth consonant is input if the fourth consonant corresponding to a specific region exists. (ii) Assuming that the number of Hangul vowels corresponding to a specific area corresponds to any one of 1 or more and 4 or less numbers and is the first to fourth vowels, the first touch is performed by the first vowel touch mode. In the case of a touch, a first vowel corresponding to a specific region is input. When the first touch is a touch in the second vowel touch mode, a second vowel corresponding to a specific region exists. If the touch of the touch is in the third vowel touch mode, if there is a third vowel corresponding to the specific area, the third vowel is input. If the first touch is the touch in the fourth vowel touch mode, the touch corresponds to the specific area. If a fourth vowel exists, the fourth vowel is inputted, and (iii) the number of other letters / symbols / numbers corresponding to a specific area corresponds to any one of one or more and four or less digits. Assuming the fourth letter / symbol / number, if the first touch is a touch by the first guitar touch mode, the first letter / symbol / number corresponding to a specific area is input, and the first touch is the second guitar.

First, referring to FIG. 4, when the keypad array is set to be the same as or similar to the "narrow" arrangement, when the first touch is made, the corresponding region is determined as the reference region, and the region corresponding to the center point of the keypad array of FIG. The 'ㅁ' character included in the can be mapped to the reference region. after,

1) When the touch is released without a drag action in the first touch state, it may be determined that the touch is released in the reference area. When the first touch is in the first consonant touch mode (for example, only by the second finger) Touch) so that the first consonant 'ㅁ' consonant is input with reference to the characters included in the area corresponding to the center point of the keypad arrangement of FIG. 4, and in the second consonant touch mode (for example, only the third finger). Touch) to input a consonant 'ㅂ' consonant, which can be obtained by adding a stroke to 'ㅁ', as a second consonant (derived consonant), and in the third consonant touch mode (eg, Touch by two fingers and third finger) inputs a consonant consonant that is obtained by adding a stroke to ㅁ to be input as a third consonant (rough consonant), and a fourth consonant touch mode. Was To the right (e.g., touch by both the first to third fingers), the 'ㅃ' consonant, which is an old consonant that can be obtained by adding a stroke to 'ㅁ' or 'ㅂ', is input as the fourth consonant (the consonant sound) You can,

2) If the touch is released after the drag action to the left in the initial touch state, it may be determined that the touch is released in the 'ㅇ ㅇ area, which is adjacent to the left side of the reference area. In the case of the first consonant touch mode (for example, the touch by the second finger only), the consonant 'ㄹ' consonant, which is the first consonant in the 'ㄹ' region, is input, and in the second consonant touch mode (for example, the third finger only).

Meanwhile, in the above description, a predetermined finger recognition technique is used to determine which touch mode the first touch corresponds to among the touch modes in which at least two of the first to third fingers or the first to third fingers are combined. After determining the position where the first touch was made as the reference area, and then releasing the touch from the specific area without performing the drag action or the drag action in the first touch state, the specific area is applied to the reference area and the reference area. It has been described assuming a case in which a Korean consonant, a Korean vowel, and other letters / symbols / numbers corresponding to a specific area are input by determining which area among the adjacent area or the area not adjacent to the reference area is input. Among the recognition technologies, in particular, the screen is touched by virtually splitting the screen. Various modifications may be assumed for the technique of determining the touch mode by the equation. For example, if a finger is touched on the screen of the terminal device, the touched position is used as a reference area, and the number of touched fingers is determined. I) If the number of touched fingers is one, the screen is virtually left and right. After dividing, it determines whether the touched finger has touched the left screen or the right screen and waits for the subsequent operation. Ii) If the number of touched fingers is two or more, the subsequent operation is performed without virtually dividing the screen. After waiting

1) If the touch is released as a subsequent operation in the first touch state, it is determined that the touch is released in the reference area. I) If the number of touched fingers is 1 and the touch is released in the state of touching the left screen, the reference is determined. Determines how many consonants are in the area, and if there is one consonant in the reference area, the corresponding consonant is inputted, and if the consonants in the reference area are two as the first and second consonants, the first consonant is And (ii) when the number of touched fingers is one and the touch is released while the right screen is touched, it is determined by the number of consonants corresponding to the reference area. The consonant is input, and if the consonants corresponding to the reference region are two as the first consonant and the second consonant, the second consonant is input (ii) i) When the touch is released in a state where the number of touched fingers is two or three, when there is a basic consonant corresponding to the reference region, at least one consonant except the first and second consonants exists as a corresponding consonant If so, make sure that the consonant is entered,

2) i) When the number of touched fingers is one, dragging to a specific area adjacent to the reference area as a subsequent operation in the state of touching on the left screen is performed. When touch is released, consonants or vowels corresponding to the specific area are displayed. Judge how many, if there is one consonant or vowel in a particular region, the consonant or vowel is input, and the consonant or vowel in that specific region is the first consonant and the second consonant or the first vowel and If the second vowel is 2, the first consonant or the first vowel is inputted, and (ii) when the number of touched fingers is 1, the touched screen is moved to a specific area adjacent to the reference area as a subsequent operation. When the drag action is performed and the touch is released, the number of consonants or vowels corresponding to the specific area is determined. If one consonant or vowel is inputted, the consonant or vowel is inputted. If the consonant or vowel corresponding to the specific area is two as the first consonant and the second consonant or the first and second vowels, the second When consonants or second vowels are input, and (iii) when the number of touched fingers is two or three, dragging is performed to a specific area adjacent to the reference area as a subsequent operation, and when the touch is released, the corresponding area is applied. If a basic consonant exists in a key, the corresponding consonant is input if there is at least one consonant except for the first and second consonants, and the basic vowel is applied to a key corresponding to the specific region. If there is at least one vowel except for the first and second vowels as a vowel corresponding to the vowel, the vowel is inputted. It will also try to assume.

In the above modified example, even if the number of touched fingers is two, if a drag action is performed to a specific area which is not adjacent to the reference area as a subsequent operation and the touch is released, consonants or vowels corresponding to the specific area are generated. Determining how many, i) if there is only one consonant or vowel in a particular region, the consonant or vowel is input, and ii) the first consonant and the second consonant Or two as the first vowel and the second vowel, the screen is virtually divided into a left screen and a right screen, and touched with reference to which of the left and right screens has one of the touched fingers first touched. If one of the fingers is touched on the left screen for the first time, the first consonant or the first vowel is inputted, and the touched finger If one is first right touch on the screen it will be the second consonant or the second bar can be added to the process to be entered.

In addition, although the above description has been given of the case in which the characters are input using the first to third fingers, according to another embodiment of the present invention, it is assumed that the characters are input using the first to the fifth fingers. Can be.

Specifically, the touch sensing unit 220 according to another embodiment of the present invention, after determining the position where the first touch is made as the reference region, the touch sensing unit 220 in the first touch state with or without the drag action in the first touch state When the release is performed, it is determined whether the specific area corresponds to a reference area, an area adjacent to the reference area, or an area not adjacent to the reference area, wherein the first touch is a touch by only the second finger, the second and the third. When the touch is released without performing a drag action in a state corresponding to one of only a finger touch, a simultaneous touch using only the second to fourth fingers, and a simultaneous touch using only the second to fifth fingers, the reference region Determines that the touch is released, and the first touch is touched only by the second finger, but not by the second and third fingers only. , Touch is performed in an area adjacent to the reference area when the touch is released after dragging in a state corresponding to one of simultaneous touch by only the second to fourth fingers and simultaneous touch by only the second to fifth fingers. Is determined that the first touch is performed by the first and second fingers only, the first and third fingers only, the first and fourth fingers only, and the first to fifth touches.
