Problems solved by technology

However, such attempts are difficult to satisfy because there is no solution provided for the size, number and / or structure of a key and / or the method of using the key, which should allow effective input large numbers of letters and other characters
[0004] Another limitation of input devices with keys corresponding to alphabetic characters is the different places, languages ​​and cultures in which such input devices are manufactured

Embodiment Construction

[0022] introduce

[0023] The following discussion and drawings disclose a character input device according to the present invention. The character input device includes a plurality of keys, which can be clicked to input characters or perform other operations. Designated characters are associated with the keys, and special operations are associated with each key, depending on, for example, the location of the character input device used, the user's language, the user's culture, or the user's preference. Thus, the character configuration associated with the input device can be configured at various steps in the manufacturing process or by the user.

[0024] An advantage of this structure is that the character input devices can be manufactured substantially identically, and then the disposition of characters can be specified according to the locale, language and culture of the intended user. Therefore, a character input device can be manufactured in a substantially similar man...

Abstract

A input device is disclosed that is configurable as a manufacturing step or by a user to input selected characters. The input device includes character input keys and an internal memory. The specificcharacter that is input by activating one of the character input keys depends upon a configuration code that is stored within the internal memory. The configuration code is associated with a key mapping configuration of a host device, for example, and the configuration code may be associated with a plurality of character identifiers for the character input keys. When the input device is configuredduring manufacturing, the configuration code may be programmed into the internal memory and the character identifiers may be provided. When the input device is configured by the user, the configuration code and the character identifiers are replaced with an alternate configuration code character identifiers.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a character input device related to a computer system. More specifically, the present invention relates to a character input device, which can be configured during manufacture or by a user, and has various character structures. The invention has been applied to various peripheral input devices of computer and game systems. Background technique [0002] For example, game controllers are commonly used in games and computer systems. Controllers are generally designed to be hand-held, and usually include multiple structures for user interaction actions, such as joysticks, digital pads, and various buttons that can be pressed. As video game systems and data transmission capabilities have improved, some games have allowed the input of text and other characters. Such text entry is usually performed on a typical, full-sized keyboard, depending on the number and number of keys used to enter the text. [0003] Attempts have been made...
