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.

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for entering characters on a keypad, and more particularly, the present invention relates to an apparatus and method for entering characters from a keypad having fewer numeric keys, such as a telephone keypad. Background technique [0002] With the advancement of mobile communication, a function of receiving and transmitting digital information such as text messages has been added to mobile stations mainly used for voice calls. Therefore, the keypad for inputting telephone numbers on the mobile station additionally has the function of inputting characters, thereby reducing the size of the keypad used as the input means of the mobile station and limiting the number of keys on the keypad. The letters of each language generally exceed the number of 12 keys on a keypad. Therefore, there is a need to represent each character individually by a key on a telephone keypad, or as a combination of two or m...
