Data input device by detecting finger's moving and the input process thereof

Abstract

Disclosed herein are a data input device and an input conversion method using the data input device. The data input device includes a detection unit provided in a predetermined input region, the detection unit processing first directional input that generates a first directional input signal through detection of lateral pressing in a predetermined radial direction by a finger placed at a reference location in the input region, second directional input that generates a second directional input signal through detection of vertical pressing in a predetermined direction in a state in which the finger is placed at the reference location, third directional input that generates a third directional input signal through detection of tilt pressing in a state in which the finger is placed at the reference location, and fourth directional input that generates a fourth directional input signal through detection of a tilt input in a state in which the finger is placed at the reference location; and a control unit configured to determine input locations of a lateral pressing direction, vertical pressing direction, tilt pressing direction and tilting direction of the finger, extract relevant data from memory, and input the extracted data; wherein the data is input through combination of two or more of the first to fourth directional inputs.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a data input device and an input inversion method using the same, and in particular to providing a data input device using finger motion detection which does not require the user to recognize and then input a finger input motion An additional input device for an additional input device, thereby simplifying product design and realizing a miniaturized and slim product, and relates to providing an input inversion method using a data input device. Background technique [0002] Recently, with the rapid development of information processing technology, various types of information equipment such as mobile phones and computers exhibit high performance and have multiple functions and small size. [0003] Such information devices generally include an input device for inputting data, a data processing device for processing the input data, and an output device for outputting the processed data. Among these devices, the importance...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, various current types of input devices have many problems in inputting various data such as characters and instructions

For example, an input device such as a keyboard used in a personal computer (PC) or a notebook computer is not suitable for realizing a small-sized information device because there is a limit to reducing the size, and a touch screen scheme used in a personal data assistant (PDA) and a mobile phone The keypad scheme used is inconvenient due to low typing speed and frequent mistyping

[0005] At the same time, since the above-mentioned various types of input devices must be provided with an input device for transmitting finger input actions, there is a problem that the structure of the input device is complicated, which makes product design difficult, and causes input problems due to the production and management of related parts. Increased manufacturing cost of equipment

[0006] In addition, since a space for the input device is required on the input device itself, the input device is not suitable for realization of a miniaturized and slim product, and the input device has a poor appearance due to the input device protruding from the case.
