Description

Method for Creating Chinese Character and Key Input Apparatus therefor}

The present invention relates to a method for generating Chinese characters and a key input device used therein, and in particular, all Chinese characters are properly decomposed to be classified into a plurality of basic strokes consisting of one stroke and a plurality of codes consisting of two or more strokes, and these basic strokes. The present invention relates to a method for generating Chinese characters and to a key input device used therein for generating Chinese characters in an information and communication device by one or more combinations of and signs.

As is well known, Chinese characters exceed 10,000 characters, including relatively rare ones, and approximately 3,000 to 6,000 characters limited to those commonly used. Such Chinese characters can be divided into traditional characters that have been passed down from ancient times, and simplified Chinese characters that are simplified by modern modification. Traditional Chinese is currently used in Taiwan, and Simplified Chinese is used in China. Hereinafter, the term 'Chinese characters' is used to include both traditional and simplified characters.

On the other hand, there are about 230 female character copies listed in the index as representatives of each department in the elementary school children's manuals used in China, and these are the main words for organizing, classifying, and arranging Chinese characters in terms of their shape. Is one way. To explain this in more detail, the number of copies of Chinese characters is divided into two parts of left and right, up and down, inside and outside, in the main language or the main species, etc. for each terminal, and the components are extracted. The parts that represent the approximate classification of classifications are made together and made into one copy, and the index having the common part in common with that part is indexed. Some are made of terminals, but others are not commercially available.

As such, the number of Chinese characters is very difficult to input and process Chinese characters on a computer. In addition to these difficulties, Chinese characters have a problem of preventing effective text processing by a computer such as text standardization or a large number of homonyms. As a result, despite several decades of intensive research and the existence of hundreds of different methods, computer input and processing of Chinese characters, especially text processing, has become a major obstacle to the convenient use of computers in China.

There are roughly two computer methods available for entering and processing Chinese characters today. The first method is based on the method of decomposing square characters into basic image components. Various keys on the keyboard are assigned to represent various basic picture components of Chinese characters. Each character can then be keyed in by several key strokes as a combination of these basic image components.

As an example of this method, there are Changji in Taiwan and Five-Stroke method in mainland China. The major disadvantage of this method is that it is artificial to assign the key to a Chinese character component. In the Changji and Oki input methods, the assignment of codes must be memorized mechanically. But memorizing the keys that represent elements is difficult and time consuming. Thus, these methods can be very fast when used by professional input operators and by well-trained typists, but are not widely used by ordinary people as well as computer professionals and other professional workers. As a result, the use of computers by the general Chinese-speaking population is restricted.

The second method is the most commonly used method for everyone except professional typists, using the English alphabet (eg, Pinyin in mainland China and 'voice sign' or BPMF in Taiwan). to be. According to this method, there are only about hundreds of different phonetic syllables, as opposed to more than 10,000 Chinese letters, so that one phonetic syllable corresponds to a plurality of different Chinese letters, for example the pronunciation of 'yi' in Beijing Corresponds to more than 100 Chinese characters. This creates ambiguity when translating phonetic syllables into Chinese characters. In order to cope with such 'sonym problem', most of the voice input system uses a multiple selection method. For example, after the English alphabet corresponding to an arbitrary syllable is keyed in, the computer displays all possible Chinese characters with the same pronunciation, and if there are a large number of characters, there is enough room on the screen to display all possible characters. Because it does not exist in the system, scroll up and down (scrolling up and down) must be done, so the input of Chinese characters is very slow.

However, what is more problematic in these methods is that the cultural independence is inevitably violated by the use of the English alphabet.

In order to solve this problem, the Applicant has appropriately decomposed all Chinese characters into a plurality of basic strokes consisting of one stroke and a plurality of codes consisting of two or more strokes, and at least one combination of these basic strokes and symbols. Chinese characters are generated in the information and communication equipment by means of the present invention, but for the sake of simplicity, these basic strokes or codes are displayed on the keyboard and non-present characters displayed on the monitor when the corresponding key button is input. It proposed a method of generating characters in China divided into components and filed a patent in 2009 Korean Patent Application No. 2009-34289 (filed April 20, 2009) (hereinafter referred to as 'priority invention'). .

The present invention is an improvement of the above-described applicant of the present invention, a Chinese character generation method and use that can not only generate Chinese characters by easier and convenient key input, but also can be commonly applied to a variety of key input devices An object of the present invention is to provide a key input device.

Another object of the present invention is to generate a Chinese idiom by inputting the two letters of each character forming a Chinese idiom, so that the Chinese idiom can be generated quickly with fewer keystrokes (number of strokes) And a key input device.

Chinese character generation method according to an aspect of the present invention is a Chinese character in the information and communication device by any one or a combination of a plurality of unit strokes consisting of one stroke and a plurality of symbols obtained by decomposing the Chinese characters In the Chinese character generation method for generating a character, the unit stroke and the code is divided into a non-present character component that is displayed directly on the keyboard of the keyboard and a non-present character component that is not displayed directly on the keyboard, the non-present The character element is displayed on the screen only when a corresponding key is input, and the unit stroke or the code constituting the non-present character element is distributed in a plurality of stroke sets according to the number of strokes.

In the above configuration, the corresponding key is characterized in that the sign key.

The non-present text component is displayed on the screen in units of stroke sets divided by the number of strokes.

If there is a stroke set divided into three strokes when only the sign key is input, the code of the stroke set of three strokes is displayed on the screen. The code is displayed on the screen.

If the upper or left direction key is input among the direction keys, the stroke set of the previous number of the currently displayed stroke set is displayed on the screen. If the lower or right direction key is input, the stroke set of the number immediately after the currently displayed stroke set is displayed on the screen. It is characterized in that displayed on.

In the process of inputting the unit stroke or the code to generate a random Chinese character, if the currently generated Chinese characters fall within a predetermined number, the corresponding Chinese character is immediately selected after the corresponding Chinese character is displayed on the screen. It is characterized by generating.

When the Chinese characters are within a predetermined number and are output on the screen, the Chinese characters are arranged in order of high frequency of use.

In the stroke set of the non-present character element corresponding to the number of strokes of the manifest character element, a multi-frequency character used relatively to a Chinese sentence as a completed Chinese character is arranged.

The multi-frequency character may also function as a character component that generates Chinese characters in combination with the unit stroke or the code.

The stroke set of the non-present character element corresponding to the number of strokes of the manifest character element is characterized in that the traditional character is arranged as a Chinese character completed by itself.

It is characterized in that Chinese characters are completed only when a predetermined terminator signal is input.

The terminator signal is characterized in that the space key signal.

The Chinese idiom consisting of two or more Chinese characters may be generated by sequentially inputting a head code, which is the earliest sign among the character elements constituting the Chinese character.

Before the first input of the head code for generating the Chinese idiom is generated, a idiom key indicating that the code input after that is a head code for generating the Chinese idiom is input.

The Chinese character is characterized by including the traditional or simplified Chinese alone or both.

Meanwhile, a key input device of an information communication device according to another aspect of the present invention is a key input device for a desktop PC or a notebook PC, wherein the unit stroke is two-layered in a calculation / editing key group as the present character element, and the code All or a part of the symbols of some strokes are arranged in three or more layers in the alpha / numeric / symbol key subgroup as the above-mentioned physical characters.

In the above configuration, it characterized in that it comprises a medium / zero conversion key button for converting the alphanumeric / symbol key small group to the English mode or Chinese mode and a sign key button for generating the sign key.

The unit stroke or code constituting the manifest character component may be divided into a horizontal priority drawing group, a vertical priority drawing group, an diagonal priority drawing group, and a point priority drawing group in the letter / number / symbol key small group.

Meanwhile, the key input device may be a desktop PC, a notebook PC, an electronic notebook, or a horizontally arranged key input device, wherein all or part of the unit stroke or some or all of the symbols of the code may be used as the manifest character elements. It is characterized by being arranged in three or more layers of small groups of alphanumeric and symbolic keys.

And a sign / key button for generating the sign / key for converting the alphanumeric / symbol key small group into an English mode or a Chinese mode.

The unit stroke or code constituting the manifest character component may be divided into a horizontal priority drawing group, a vertical priority drawing group, an diagonal priority drawing group, and a point priority drawing group in the letter / number / symbol key small group.

According to the method of generating Chinese characters of the present invention and the key input apparatus used therein, the Chinese characters can be generated by easier and convenient key input as well as can be commonly applied to various kinds of key input apparatuses.

In addition, Chinese idioms can be generated by inputting the two letters of each character forming the Chinese idiom, so that Chinese idioms can be generated quickly with fewer keystrokes.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a preferred embodiment of the Chinese character generation method of the present invention and a key input device used therein, the terms used in the present invention will be defined before the description.

First, in the present invention, the "stroke" refers to a unit that counts a line or a dot once written in Chinese characters in writing instruments. 'Unit stroke' and 'symbol' are the character elements for generating Chinese characters obtained by appropriately decomposing Chinese characters, for example, into common elements in form or semantics, respectively. Say that. Therefore, each of these unit strokes and codes may be given a unique key code value, for example, a Unicode value having a 2-byte code system or a unique key code value established by itself in China. In addition, the information communication device according to the present invention should operate a Chinese character generation rule table that generates a corresponding Chinese character by combining the key codes of the unit stroke or code according to the stroke order.

On the other hand, the 'key button' refers to a key input means for generating a corresponding key code value when the key button is disposed on the keyboard, one key is arranged in one layer or two or more keys in the 'key button' It may be arranged as.

Here, each unit stroke and sign will naturally overlap with the existing classification and defined copies by definition as described above. Furthermore, there may be one that constitutes a completed Chinese character by itself. If a unit stroke or a sign matches a completed Chinese character, the keycode value previously given for the Chinese character is given as it is or processing or For the convenience of handling, when a different keycode value is given and completed as a Chinese character, for example, when a terminator signal described later, that is, an individual unit character completion signal is input, the existing corresponding key code of the Chinese character is input. You might want to convert it to a value.

The term 'header' refers to the first sign in the alphabetical order among the character elements constituting any one (1) Chinese character, and the term 'Chinese idiom' refers to two or more Chinese characters. Refers to words, idioms or idioms being treated.

On the other hand, the 'present text component' refers to unit strokes or symbols arranged or engraved or printed to be displayed on each key button of the keyboard, and the 'non-present text component' refers to a specific key button of a keyboard, eg For example, when a specific key button, for example, a sign key button to be described later, is pressed in a state corresponding to a numeric key button, the correspondence is a character element consisting of a unit stroke or a code displayed on the corresponding correspondence.

Next, Chinese characters are nouns that represent words of a number of parts of speech, for example, names of people or things, depending on their function; Pronouns, words that replace people, things, and places; An article is a word that refers to a counting unit; Verbs that represent actions, actions, existence, development, change, loss, etc .; Neungwon verbs (joint verbs), which are words that help verbs before verbs; Adjectives which are words of nature and state; Adverbs that are words that describe the range, time, extent, frequency, affirmation, or negation of an action, a text, or a condition; A noun (preposition), a word used to modify a verb or adjective by forming a noun, pronoun, or phrase in front of a phrase; Oral consonants (words) that connect words, phrases, or phrases; Search, a word written after a word or phrase that represents a kind of grammatical meaning; It can be divided into the word ideology (onomatopoeia), which is a word representing an object or sound of nature, and an interjection, which is a word representing an answer or admiration.

In the present invention, the "high frequency" refers to a limited number of completed Chinese characters selected in the order of relatively high frequency of use among the Chinese characters forming each or any part of speech described above. The sign key button refers to a key button which is arranged to be displayed in place on a keyboard and activates a corresponding non-present character component and a corresponding key button of the keyboard, for example, a numeric key button.

"Information and communication equipment" means various devices for processing or communicating information by a central processing unit (CPU), for example, various personal computers (PCs), mobile communication terminals, such as desktops, laptops or laptops or palmtops, It may include a portable internet terminal, an electronic organizer or electronic dictionary, a portable multimedia player, a cash register, an electronic calculator, and a remote controller.

그런데, 본 발명에서의 단위획은 그 자체로 완성된 중국어 문자로 기능하는 것과 중국어 문자를 생성하기 위해 다른 단위획이나 부호와 조합되어야 하는 것을 포함하여 이루어진다. 나아가, 이러한 단위획 중에는 종래 중국어 자전에서 1획의 부수로 분류된 것과 동일한 단위획도 존재하지만 그렇지 않은 단위획이 더 많이 존재한다. 즉 종래 중국어 자전에서 1획의 부수는 그 변형까지 합해서 총 9개 정도에 불과하지만, 본 발명의 일 실시예에서는 23개이기 때문에 본 발명에 의해 새롭게 1획으로 규정된 것들이 많이 존재한다. 부호의 경우에도 단위획과 마찬가지로 당연히 종래의 부수와 동일한 것이 많이 존재할 것이나 본 발명에서 고유하게 임의적으로 생성된 부호들도 존재할 것이다.On the other hand, in the document creation key group 11, at least 26 character key buttons of letters A to Z, 10 number key buttons of 1 to 0, "` ","-", A total of 11 symbol key buttons, including the symbol key buttons of "=" and "\" and symbol keys of "{", "}", ":", "", "<", ">" and "?" (Hereinafter, a total of 47 key buttons are referred to as 'letter / number / symbol key subgroups') 11a. According to the present invention, a total of 23 unit strokes (30 in prior invention) ( 23 unit strokes except for the rightmost bottom unit stroke in the first stroke set of FIG. 13 to be described later), 23 each of 47 two-stroke and six-stroke symbols (48 in the preceding invention), and respectively A total of 141 unit strokes and codes are made up of 24 of 3 to 5 stroke codes (48 in the preceding invention). It is arranged in 3 layers on each number / letter / symbol key group 11a, for example, 2 layers at the bottom of each key button and 1 floor at the top right. The unit strokes and signs arranged in the letter / number / symbol key subgroup 11a constitute the 'present character element'.
Twenty-three two-stroke and six-stroke symbols, each of which is placed in the alphanumeric / symbol key subgroup 11a as the actual character component, are as shown in Table 1-1 and Table 1-2 below, and each of 24 three to five strokes. Stroke symbols are shown in Tables 1-3, Tables 1-4 and 1-5 below.

By the way, the unit stroke in the present invention comprises a function as a completed Chinese character itself and must be combined with other unit strokes or signs to generate Chinese characters. In addition, among these unit strokes, there are also the same unit strokes as those classified as one copy in the conventional Chinese rotation, but there are more unit strokes that are not. That is, the number of copies in a conventional Chinese rotation is only about 9 in total, up to the variation, but since there are 23 in one embodiment of the present invention, there are many new ones defined by the present invention. In the case of a sign, of course, there will be many of the same numbers as in the conventional unit as in the unit stroke, but there will also be signs uniquely generated in the present invention.

On the other hand, in the document creation key group 11, reference numeral 11b denotes an enter key button, and 11c denotes a medium / zero conversion for converting the alphanumeric / symbol key subgroup 11a to English mode or Chinese mode each time it is pressed. ("中 / 英"; the same below) key button, but in the present invention, ten numeric key buttons from 1 to 0 and "` ","-"," = "," \ "," {"," } '', ":", "" "," <","> ", And"? "Key buttons, respectively, to generate the corresponding numeric and symbol key codes. On the other hand, the key input device must be converted to Chinese mode in order to generate unit stroke keys or sign key codes of Chinese characters by the above-described key buttons.

Reference numeral 11d denotes a key button as described above (hereinafter referred to as `` 部 號 ''), and two buttons are disposed on both sides with a space key button (space bar) interposed therebetween so as to be able to operate it using a convenient one of the two hands. Doing. Reference numeral 11e denotes an idiom key button used to indicate the beginning and end of an idiom input, which is also the space key between two hands. Two are placed beside each sign key button.

Next, the calculation / editing key group 16 has a total of ten numeric key buttons from 1 to 0, one decimal key button such as ".", "/", "*", "-" And "+" and A total of 15 key buttons, the "Num Lock" key button, and the "Enter" key button of the same four four-function arithmetic key buttons are provided. In operation, that is, when the middle / zero switch key button 11c is pressed while operating in the English mode, the Chinese mode is operated together. Accordingly, a total of 10 numeric key buttons from 1 to 0 are not used to input the corresponding numeric keys, but directly monitor the signs included in the stroke sets (described later) of the multi-frequency characters or the non-present character elements. It will be used to display on the screen.

Figure 2 is a diagram showing a multi-frequency characters and signs constituting the non-present character elements in the Chinese character generation method of the present invention by way of example. As shown in Fig. 2, according to the present invention, the codes constituting the non-present character elements are divided into two strokes to 10 strokes (10 strokes include 10 strokes and all the codes above), for each stroke. Twenty-four symbols are arranged in a row in a set of 12 strokes having the same number as the number of strokes of the code.

On the other hand, in the case of 23 unit strokes, all of them are presently arranged in the subgroup 11a of letters / numbers / symbols, so the first set of strokes constituting the non-present character elements becomes empty. A total of 24 multi-frequency characters are arranged in rows in 12 stroke sets.

In the present invention, the reason why the frequency of the non-present character element or the number of symbols included in each stroke set is a multiple of 12, for example, 24 is not only suitable for the characteristics of Chinese characters but also unpresented. This is for placing the non-present text elements up to one-to-two apart from a total of twelve key buttons of ten numeric key buttons and "-" and "=" key buttons for easy selection (input) of the character elements. .

3 is a diagram illustrating a keyboard layout of a notebook PC keyboard according to another embodiment of the key input device of the present invention, Figure 4 is an electronic notebook keyboard according to another embodiment of the key input device of the present invention 5 is a diagram illustrating a keyboard layout of an exemplary embodiment, and FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a keyboard layout of a keyboard for a horizontally arranged cellular phone according to another embodiment of a key input device of the present invention.

As shown in Figures 3 to 5, the notebook PC, electronic notebook and horizontally arranged mobile phone keyboard does not have a calculation / editing key group, unlike the keyboard for the desktop PC, the total number of key buttons is different, In addition, the arrangement relationship is also different, but in the case of having 47 letters / numbers / symbol key subgroups, the arrangement of unit strokes and signs is the same as that of the desktop PC keyboard of FIG. Can be.

On the other hand, as can be seen in Figures 3 and 5, in the notebook PC keyboard or the horizontally arranged mobile phone keyboard, the sign key button and the idiom key buttons are arranged two each with a space key button between them, the electronic notebook Only one is placed on the keyboard.

Hereinafter, a method of generating Chinese characters through the keyboard of FIGS. 1 and 3 to 5 will be described in detail.

Tables 1a to 1v below show the official rules for generating Chinese characters classified as Pinyin and randomly extracting three or more characters of each alphabetic character, including two, three, and four characters. Table. In Tables 1a to 1u below, "sh +" means pressing the "Shift" key button and one of the key buttons of the alphanumeric / symbolic subgroup at the same time, in which case the corresponding alphanumeric / symbolic key subgroup The Chinese unit stroke or sign placed on the upper right side of the key button will be selected.

Next, "cl +" means pressing the "Caps Lock" key button and one of the key buttons of the alphanumeric / symbolic subgroup at the same time. In the case of Chinese characters, the concept of capital letters does not exist. The "Lock" key button is used to select the Chinese unit stroke or code placed at the bottom left of the key button of the corresponding alphanumeric / symbol key subgroup. On the other hand, the "Caps Lock" key button is not shown in the case of the electronic notebook keyboard or the horizontally arranged cellular phone keyboard illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5. In this case, the "Shift" key button and the " You can replace pressing the "Caps Lock" key button by pressing the Alt key together. Alternatively, a dedicated key button for selecting a unit stroke or a sign disposed at the lower left of the key button of the letter / number / symbol key subgroup may be newly added to all the keyboards of FIGS. 1 and 3 to 5. .

However, if the Chinese unit stroke or symbol is used as it is, it may be difficult to understand. In the case of the letter / number / symbol key group, the letter key buttons are represented by the uppercase letters A through Z of the alphabet, and In the case of the lower layer of keys, that is, 1 to 0 and "-", "=" and "\", the remaining symbol key buttons are the upper layer of keys "{", "}", ": "," "", "<", ">", And "?" Therefore, when only the key buttons of these alphanumeric / symbolic key groups are pressed, the unit stroke at the lower right of the key button is pressed. If the key or sign key is selected and the "Shift" key button and the key button of the alphanumeric / symbol key subgroup are pressed at the same time, the right side of the three keys (unit stroke or sign) arranged in a plurality of layers on the corresponding key button Top key (unit stroke or sign) ) Is selected, and when the `` Caps Lock '' key button and the key button of the alphanumeric / symbol key subgroup are pressed at the same time, the lower left of the three keys (unit stroke or symbol) The key (unit stroke or symbol) is selected and "sh +" and "cl +" are followed by a letter, number, or symbol key button with the "Shift" button and the "Caps Lock" button. Indicates that it should be pressed.

"Part" indicates a sign key button. When they are expressed alone, that is, when these key buttons are pressed alone, the third set of strokes, which are most used among the non-present text elements, may be basically displayed. Therefore, in order to select and display the remaining stroke sets, it is necessary to simultaneously press the sign key button and the number (0 to 9) key button of the corresponding stroke set. (0 represents 10 or more stroke sets). In addition, a number or a symbol followed by a "+" or a "-" after a "→" is used to indicate a corresponding symbol in a set of a corresponding number, where a single-digit number or symbol (-or =) The multi-frequency letters or signs arranged in (line), and the two-digit same number or sign (for example, 88 or ==, etc.) represent the multi-frequency letters or signs arranged in the back (column).

Furthermore, since it takes only a very short time to input the same number or symbol of two digits, the multi-frequency letters or symbols arranged above are selected as long as they are entered within a predetermined time, for example within 1 to 2 seconds. Otherwise, each single digit or symbol can be treated as a sequence of choices.

In Tables 1A to 1V below, (sb) indicates the input of the space key (that is, one operation of the space key button).

In the generation rule column on the right side of Table 1a to Table 1v above, the upper row means a formal generation rule and the lower row indicates a generation rule by a sign. In addition, the number of keystrokes required to generate Chinese characters is not only the conventional pin-in method but also the preceding invention. Compared with this, it is remarkably reduced, and in addition, the key input efficiency is remarkably improved.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, as can be seen in Table 1a to Table 1v, in the case of an idiom consisting of two or more Chinese characters, the head code of each Chinese character constituting it, that is, the order of the character components constituting the Chinese character Since the entire idiom can be easily generated by only entering the first symbol, the number of keystrokes can be further reduced compared to the generation of the corresponding character by the formal generation rule according to the preceding invention. Can generate more Chinese characters. Moreover, since the head codes are determined by the order of the Chinese characters, users familiar with the Chinese characters can quickly select the head codes and generate desired Chinese idioms without any difficulty.

On the other hand, in the case of a two-character Chinese idiom, when entering all of the Chinese characters constituting it as a double sign, a large number of idioms having these as a double sign may be generated undesirably. In the case of two-character idioms, as shown in Table 1a to Table 1v, the first Chinese character should be entered in full character components according to the formal generation rules, and only the second Chinese character should be entered with a double sign to generate the idiom. You may. On the other hand, in the case of an idiom consisting of three or more characters, it is very unlikely that multiple idioms having the same head code exist, so it may be desirable to input the head codes for all as shown in Tables 1a to 1v.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, two or more idioms having the same heading may exist. In this case, the idioms may be generated by selecting the idioms from the user while displaying all the possible idioms in order of use. . Furthermore, even if the head codes are not entered, if the idiom currently generated in the input process is determined as one, the idiom can be generated immediately, and the idioms can be viewed without a predetermined number, for example, without scrolling the screen. Even if it is specified as about 5 or less, the idiom can be generated by selecting the idiom immediately after outputting it on the screen.

In addition, when there are a plurality of Chinese idioms that can be generated, by arranging them in the order of high frequency of use, for example, the Chinese idioms listed first may be directly selected without any action, that is, without operating a mouse or a direction key.

In addition, in the above-described generation rule of Table 1a to Table 1v, the description was made by inputting a space key between each of the two codes, but as shown in the generation rule table for the Chinese sentence described below, This may be omitted if the idiom key buttons are entered before the input and after the final head code.

Tables 2a and 2v below are tables showing a formal generation rule and a generation rule by inputting a code for an example sentence made using one of the Chinese idioms exemplified in Tables 1a to 1v above.

In Tables 2a to 2v above, "kan" means an idiom key button, and the underlined part in each sentence represents a Chinese idiom. For convenience, the non-Chinese idioms are separated by line breaks for each character. In the Chinese idioms section, the whole idiom is represented by one line (or two lines if it is long). Furthermore, in the generation rule on the right side for each alphabet correspondence sentence, the upper part represents a formal generation rule, and the lower part represents a generation rule by inputting a code. In addition, it can be seen that the number of key inputs is significantly reduced, thereby providing convenience to the user.

On the other hand, in order to be able to generate Chinese idioms by inputting such a code, a idiom database that matches and stores Chinese idioms to the two codes is required. In the central processing unit of each information communication device, each head code is inputted. The idiom database may be queried to extract and display a corresponding Chinese idiom and then display or further determine a Chinese idiom selected by the user.

6A to 6D are views illustrating a keyboard layout of a desktop PC, a notebook PC, an electronic notebook, and a horizontally arranged mobile phone keyboard according to another embodiment of the key input device of the present invention, respectively. In the embodiment of FIG. 6, unit stroke keys or sign keys having the same or similar strokes are arranged in groups (separated by bold lines) on key buttons of the alphanumeric / symbol key subgroups, for example, horizontal priority group, vertical priority line. By arranging groups in groups, diagonal priority groups, and dot priority groups, users can easily and quickly recognize the position of unit stroke keys or sign keys that make up the actual character elements.

The Chinese character generation method and the key input device used in the present invention are not limited to the above-described embodiments and can be modified in various ways within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention. For example, in generating Chinese idioms, if a Chinese character cannot be generated by a code that is entered without entering a space key or pressing an idiom key button, the input code is referred to as a two code. It is also possible to automatically generate the corresponding Chinese idiom by judging and querying the sign database.

Likewise, if the user enters the left or right arrow key of the arrow group or the up or down arrow key while the non-present text component of the current arbitrary stroke set is displayed, the representation of the previous or subsequent stroke set of the current stroke set is displayed. It will be possible to have the text component be displayed.

Furthermore, unlike the above-described embodiment, each key button has four layers (unit strokes to all four strokes and up to 24 five strokes) or five layers (unit strokes to five) using unit strokes or symbols as manifest character elements. (With up to 24 strokes and 6 strokes), but by providing separate key buttons to separate each layer, that is, increasing the number of physical character elements, the convenience of key operation and the number of inputs can be reduced. In this way, it is possible to facilitate the generation of Chinese characters by placing the multi-frequency characters in the stroke set of the empty non-present character elements.
