  • Patent number: 7626574
    Abstract: The invention shows the effective input of a target word or phrase by applying a Full Input Method and by using an index storing full code. In addition, this invention proposes an input system for inputting various objects (alphabet characters, special characters, functions, etc) by combination of a long stroke of a button and a short stroke of the button, and by combination of a long stroke of a button and a short stroke of a control button.

  • Publication number: 20070110222
    Abstract: This invention shows that a target word or phrase can be inputted effectively using an index and applying a full input method(FIM). Moreover, this inventions shows an example in which a (language restricted) concurrent input method(CIM) is applied effectively. In addition, this invention proposes an input system for inputting various characters by combination of a long stroke of a specific button and a repeat stroke of the specific button, or by combination of a long stroke of a specific button and a repeat stroke of a control button.

  • Patent number: 7218727
    Abstract: User can input characters and numerals without mode transition on a keypad using Part-Whole Selection (PWSM). Moreover, by allocating characters having higher use frequency to lattice elements on each button in the Order of Proximity to Base Lattice Element (OPBLE), input efficiency of the PWSM is maximized, and the number of times a button is pressed in the Base Repeat Selection Method (BRSM) is minimized. Applying Control Processing Method can simplify character arrangement on a keypad. For languages such as Korean, Hindi, Myanmar and the other languages in which consonants and vowels alternately come after each other, representative consonants and vowels are uniformly assigned to buttons on a keypad, thereby minimizing ambiguity when the RSM is used in input operation. Finally, representative consonants having phonetic values are allocated to Base Lattice Elements (BLEs) on each button, so that they can be used for memorizing or naming telephone numbers and a variety of codes.

  • Publication number: 20070092326
    Abstract: The invention is to efficiently input characters on a keypad and, more particularly, to input various symbols by using the hiding control processing method, thereby maintaining a simple arrangement of the keypad. Furthermore, the present invention produces simple codes using the relation between characters allocated to the keypad and numerals, implements the short-cut input method using the simple codes, and enters target characters and words or phrases with a small number of strokes using the concurrent input method. With a switching server for interpreting simple codes, the user can input simple codes even when the third server requests words or phrases other than simple codes, and the switching server interprets simple codes input by the user and sends the words or phrases corresponding to the simple codes to the third server, which does not store the simple codes and the words or phrases corresponding to the simple codes.
