CHARACTER INPUT DEVICE
First Claim
1. A character input device, comprising:
- a detection unit for detecting one or more input forms of vertical pressing, horizontal pressing, tilting pressing, contact, and contact movement;
an input tool for enabling directional input corresponding to each input form detectable by the detection unit to be performed; and
a control unit for generating a plurality of direction indication locations corresponding to directional inputs performed by the input tool, and extracting data, assigned to a direction indication location corresponding to detected directional input, from a memory unit and inputting the extracted data when directional input of the input tool corresponding to any one of the direction indication locations is detected by the detection unit.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a character input device. The character input device includes a detection unit, an input tool and a control unit. The detection unit detects one or more input forms of vertical pressing horizontal pressing tilting pressing, contact, and contact movement. The input tool enables directional input corresponding to each input form detectable by the detection unit to be performed. The control unit generates a plurality of direction indication locations corresponding to directional inputs performed by the input tool, and extracts data, assigned to a direction indication location corresponding to detected directional input, from a memory unit and inputting the extracted data when directional input of the input tool corresponding to any one of the direction indication locations is detected by the detection unit.
