Touch-type key input apparatus
First Claim
1. A touch press key inputting device, characterized in that said device includes many character keys, on each of which at least two characters are set, input judging means being capable of detecting touch actions of said character keys and judging a moving direction of a draw-line touch input action which maintains the touch state to move longer than a specific length since the first touch point in said character key area, and character selecting and outputting means being capable of selecting and outputting characters displayed in said moving direction relative to a center position of said character key, corresponding to said moving direction judged by the input judging means.

Abstract
A touch press key inputting device includes: a plurality of character keys 21˜32 with at least 2 characters displayed on the surface of each key; an input judging means 72 for sensing the character keys touched and the first touched points in the area of the character keys, performing a movement longer than a specified length originally touched, and judging a moving direction in touch press inputting; a character selecting and outputting means 73 for selecting and outputting the characters displayed in the moving direction, corresponding to the moving direction judged by the input judging means, relative to the reference positions of the character keys. Since the characters on the positions are selected and output corresponding to the touch press inputting operations of the characters displayed on the key surfaces of respective character keys 21˜32, the inputting operations can be directly sensed and easily assured, and the inputting operability is improved.
