METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INPUTTING CHARACTER IN TOUCH DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method for inputting a character, the method comprising:
- displaying, when a touch interaction based on a user gesture is input to a certain character region in a character input mode, a first character to which the certain character region is allocated;
receiving, after the touch interaction is initiated and while the touch interaction is maintained, a drawing interaction;
generating a first complete character by combining a second character according to the drawing interaction with a first character allocated to the character region;
displaying the generated first complete character in a form of a preview;
detecting a conversion interaction while the generated first completed character is displayed;
generating a second complete character by combining a third character according to the conversion interaction with the first character allocated to the character region;
displaying the generated second complete character in a form of a preview; and
processing, when the user gesture is released while displaying the generated second complete character, the second complete character as a completely input character.

Abstract
A method and touch device for inputting a character are provided. The method includes displaying a first character when a touch interaction based on a user gesture is input to the certain character region; receiving a drawing interaction after the touch interaction while the touch interaction is maintained; displaying a first complete character generated by combining a second character according to the drawing interaction with the first character in a form of a preview; detecting a conversion interaction while the first completed character is displayed; displaying a second complete character generated by combining a third character according to the conversion interaction with the first character in the form of a preview; and processing the second complete character as a complete character when the user gesture is released while the second complete character is displayed.

14. A method for inputting a character, the method comprising:
-
executing a character input mode; displaying, when a touch interaction according to a certain character region is input in the character input mode, a first character to which the certain character region is allocated; identifying, when a drawing interaction moving an input point in a predetermined direction is input according to the touch interaction while the touch interaction is maintained, a moving direction of the drawing interaction and confirming a second character according to the identified moving direction; combining a second character mapped to the identified moving direction of the drawing interaction with the first character allocated to the character region to generate a first complete character; displaying the generated first complete character in a form of a preview; detecting, while the first complete character is displayed, a conversion interaction according to continuous input of the touch interaction and the drawing interaction; confirming a third character according to the conversion interaction according to the detected conversion interaction; combining the third character confirmed according to the conversion interaction with the first character allocated to the character region to generate a second complete character; displaying the generated second character in the form of a preview; determining whether the user gesture is released while displaying the generated second complete character; and processing, when the release of the user gesture is detected while displaying the generated second complete character, the second complete character as a completely input character.

15. A touch device comprising:
-
a touch screen including a touch input region for inputting a character and a display region for displaying the input character; and a controller for selecting a character of a first character group allocated to a certain character region when a touch interaction based on a user gesture is input to the certain character region, combining respective characters of a second character group according to an input scheme of the user gesture with the selected character of the first character group, and controlling display of the combined character when movement of the user gesture after the touch interaction is detected. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
