Abstract
본 고안은 휴대폰이나 팜컴퓨터 등의 소형 휴대 기기를 사용함에 있어서 숫자나 문자를 신속 정확하게 입력하기 위한 3접점 키버튼에 관한 것으로서, 종래에는 원하는 문자를 입력하기 위하여 같은 버튼을 여러번 반복하여 눌러 원하는 문자를 찾아내야 하는데 따른 많은 시간낭비와 반복동작에 따른 손가락 통증 등의 많은 불편한 점이 있었으며, 또한 버튼을 설치할 공간이 작거나 많은 버튼을 설치할 경우엔 각 버튼간의 간격이 좁아서 이웃한 버튼이 잘못 눌리어 입력 오류가 발생하는 등의 많은 문제점이 있었다.The present invention relates to a three-contact key button for quickly and accurately inputting numbers or letters in using a small portable device such as a mobile phone or a palm computer. Conventionally, a desired character is repeatedly pressed by repeatedly pressing the same button to input a desired character. There are many inconveniences such as wasting time and finger pain due to repetitive operation. Also, when installing small buttons or installing many buttons, the distance between each button is narrow, so the neighboring buttons are pressed incorrectly. There were many problems, such as an error.
이를 해결하기 위하여 1개의 버튼에 3개의 누름점이 형성된 3접점 키버튼을 이용하여 각각의 누름점에 따라 고유의 문자를 부여함으로서, 한번만의 누름 동작으로 원하는 문자를 신속 정확하게 입력시키는데 있으며, 또한 이러한 3접점 키버튼을 지그재그나 상하반전, 또는 기존 키패드와의 혼합배열 등의 방법으로 배치함으로서 이웃 키버튼과의 문자 입력 오류를 최소화하는데 있다.In order to solve this problem, by using a three-contact key button with three pressing points formed on one button, a unique character is assigned according to each pressing point, thereby quickly and accurately entering a desired character with a single pressing operation. The contact key buttons are arranged in a zigzag, upside down, or mixed arrangement with an existing keypad to minimize character input errors with neighboring key buttons.
Description
본 고안은 휴대폰이나 팜컴퓨터 등의 소형 휴대 기기를 사용함에 있어서 숫자나 문자를 신속 정확하게 입력하기 위한 다중 버튼에 관한 것으로서, 종래에는 원하는 문자를 입력하기 위하여 버튼을 여러번 반복하여 눌러 원하는 문자를 찾아내야 하는데 따른 많은 시간낭비와 반복동작에 따른 손가락 통증 등의 많은 불편한 점이 있었으며, 또한 버튼을 설치할 공간이 작거나 많은 버튼을 설치할 경우엔 각 버튼간의 간격이 좁아서 이웃한 버튼이 잘못 눌리어 입력 오류가 발생하는 등의 많은 문제점이 있었다.The present invention relates to a multi-button for quickly and accurately entering numbers or letters in using a small portable device such as a mobile phone or a palm computer, conventionally, by pressing the button several times repeatedly to find a desired character. There are many inconveniences such as wasting time and finger pain due to repetitive motion.In addition, when there is a small space to install the buttons or when many buttons are installed, the interval between each button is narrow, so the neighboring buttons are incorrectly pressed to cause an input error. There were many problems, such as.
이를 해결하기 위하여 1개의 버튼에 3개의 누름점이 형성된 다중 버튼을 이용하여 각각의 누름점에 따라 고유의 문자를 부여함으로서, 한번만의 누름동작으로 원하는 문자를 신속 정확하게 입력시키는데 있으며, 또한 이웃하고 있는 키버튼 누름위치와의 간격을 최대한 넓게 이루어 지도록 키버튼을 여러가지 형태로 배치함으로서 문자 입력 오류를 최소화하는데 있다.In order to solve this problem, by assigning a unique character to each pressing point by using multiple buttons formed with three pressing points in one button, it is possible to input the desired character quickly and accurately with only one pressing operation. The key button is arranged in various forms so that the space between the button press position is as wide as possible.

문자 키버튼의 윗부분 누름판의 형태를 "U"자나 "Ω"자의 형태로 만들고 주로 사용하는 숫자 등을 중앙의 위치에 다소 큰 형태로 위치시켜 주요 기본 문자 누름위치(2)로 설정하고 그 양쪽 끝부분을 추가문자 누름위치(3)(4)로 설정하여, 각각의 누름위치 바로 아래에 각각의 개별 입력 접점 스위치 누름대(5)를 형성시켜 3개의 입력 접점 스위치 누름점(A)(B)(C)이 삼각형태로 위치되도록 구성하여 놓음으로서, 문자 입력시 손가락에 닿는 느낌으로 각 문자의 정확한 누름위치를 비교적손쉽게 파악할 수 있을 뿐 만 아니라, 어느 한 문자의 누름점(A)을 누를 경우에 다른 두 곳의 누름점(B)(C)을 연결시킨 선이 중심 회전축으로 되는 동시에 버팀점이 되어, 비록 입력하고자 하는 문자의 정확한 누름위치를 다소 벗어난 곳을 누를지라도 같은 키버튼 안에서 다른 쪽의 누름이 발생되기 어려워 문자의 오류 입력 가능성이 매우 적다는 이점이 있으며, 또한 본 3접점 키버튼을 휴대폰이나 팜컴퓨터와 같이 작은 공간에 효율적으로 배치시켜 사용하기 위하여 도 4, 5, 6, 7에서 보여지는 바와 같이 배열 방법을 지그재그나 상하반전, 또는 기존 키패드와의 혼합배열 등의 방법으로 배치함으로서, 이웃하고 있는 키버튼 누름위치와의 간격을 최대한 넓혀 문자 입력 오류를 최소화시킬 수 있다.Set the upper pressing plate of the letter key button in the form of "U" or "Ω", and place the numbers used mainly in a slightly larger form at the center, and set them as the main basic letter pressing positions (2) and both ends. Set the part to the additional character push position (3) (4) to form each individual input contact switch pusher (5) just below each push position, so that the three input contact switch push points (A) (B) By configuring (C) to be in a triangular position, it is relatively easy to grasp the exact pressing position of each character as it touches the finger when entering characters, as well as when pressing the pressing point (A) of any one character. The line connecting the two different pressing points (B) and (C) to the center becomes the central axis of rotation and at the same time the bracing point, even if you press a position slightly outside the exact pressing position of the character to be entered, the other side within the same key button. 4, 5, 6, and 7 are used to effectively place the three-contact key button in a small space such as a mobile phone or a palm computer. As shown, by arranging the arrangement method in a zigzag, upside down, or a mixed arrangement with an existing keypad, a character input error can be minimized by maximizing the distance between the adjacent key button pressing positions.
주로 사용하는 숫자 이외에 한글 또는 영문 등의 모든 문자 요소를 좁은 공간에 효율적으로 배치해 놓음으로서, 일반 컴퓨터 자판과 같이 한번만의 누름동작으로 원하는 문자를 신속 정확하게 입력시킬 수 있음으로 인하여 시간 절약 및 손가락의 피로를 최소화시키며, 또한 버튼의 윗부분 누름판의 모양을 "U"자나 "Ω"자의 형태로 만들어 놓아 누름위치를 비교적 손쉽고 정확하게 파악할 수 있으며, 이 버튼을 지그재그나 상하반전 등의 방법으로 배치함으로서, 이웃하고 있는 키버튼 누름위치와의 간격을 최대한 넓혀 문자 입력 오류를 최소화시킬 수 있는 등의 많은 장점을 지녔다.In addition to the commonly used numbers, all the elements of Korean characters such as Korean or English are efficiently placed in a narrow space, which saves time and helps to input the desired characters quickly and accurately with a single press like a general computer keyboard. Minimize the fatigue, and also make the shape of the upper plate of the button in the form of "U" or "Ω", so that the position of the press can be easily and accurately identified, and the buttons are arranged by zigzag or upside down. It has many advantages, such as minimizing character input errors by widening the distance from the key button pressing position.
