Abstract

A character input device and method, so that when using the control dial input device, you can quickly and easily select the required characters from many characters.By providing the input device of the control dial input device that rotates and presses the command signal before and after the command signal is provided 11. The micro computer of the displayed character is controlled according to the command signal 12, the OSD controller of the image information generated by the character information, and the image information displayed by the displayed image information, and the image information displayed generated.The display unit, combined with the steps of the character group arranged and displayed in the form of two -dimensional forms and the steps of selecting characters from the selected character group, and the one -dimensional light alignment is selected.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a character input device and method using a control dial input device. Background technique [0002] When using the control dial input device to input characters from the menu screen, the control dial input device has only three operation functions, ie, up rotation, down rotation and dial depression. Therefore, it is not possible to image 3 to enter a character in two dimensions as shown, while the figure 2 Each character is entered using a one-dimensional menu as shown. figure 2 Indicates that in the input character "はつめい" (composed of four Japanese hiragana characters, meaning "invention", hiragana is composed of about fifty characters, such as figure 1 shown) to perform the operation. exist figure 2 In , for example, enter the third character "め" (pronounced "ME" ), it is necessary to rotate the control dial input device, from "あ" (pronounced "A") via "い" (pronounced "I"), "う" (pronounced "U"), "え" (pronou...
