Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a keyboard application involving artificial intelligence, wherein

[0002] It is implemented in various computing environments, including mobile environments, and

[0003] Separating the user input process from the intervention of artificial intelligence, and

[0004] This invention relates to an AI-based keyboard system that generates characters or sentences by selectively controlling the intervention of artificial intelligence through UI buttons, and a method for controlling the same. Background Technology

[0005] Conventional keyboard applications perform the function of generating characters based on user input, and recently, artificial intelligence has been combined to provide auto-completion, sentence recommendation, or sentence generation functions.

[0006] However, these AI-based keyboard applications are structured so that the AI ​​automatically intervenes during the user's input process to generate recommendations or sentences, which leads to problems such as the production of results unrelated to the user's input intent or the disruption of the input flow.

[0007] In addition, since AI functions are often provided through separate screens or interfaces, there is a limitation in that the keyboard input structure and AI functions cannot be integrated as a single unit.

[0008] Furthermore, in conventional keyboard applications, it is difficult for users to directly select or control the timing of AI intervention, leading to a problem where AI functions operate in a system-centric rather than user-centric manner.

[0009] Therefore, a keyboard application is required that separates the user input process from the intervention of artificial intelligence and allows for the selective control of the timing of AI intervention through UI buttons within the keyboard interface. The problem to be solved

[0010] The present invention aims to solve the following problems.

[0011] First, the goal is to resolve the issue of artificial intelligence automatically intervening during the user's input process in keyboard applications and to separate the user's input process from the AI ​​intervention.

[0012] Second, it resolves the issue where AI functions are provided as separate screens or interfaces within the keyboard interface, and provides an interface in which the keyboard input structure and AI functions are integrated.

[0013] Third, in order to allow users to directly select and control the timing of AI intervention, a keyboard application is provided that allows for selective control of AI intervention through UI buttons.

[0014] Fourth, to improve user convenience, a keyboard application is provided that provides multiple function keys and enables the execution of external services or functions through the function keys. means of solving the problem

[0015] In order to solve the above problem, the present invention,

[0016] In a keyboard application-based system including an input interface involving artificial intelligence,

[0017] It includes an input area where character input takes place and a function area where multiple function buttons are arranged,

[0018] The above function area includes an AI execution button, a translation button, a voice input button, an execution button, and a user-defined button, and

[0019] The AI ​​is configured to intervene and generate characters or sentences only when the above AI execution button is selected, and

[0020] The artificial intelligence is configured not to automatically intervene while the user is performing input in the above input area, and

[0021] If the user selects the AI ​​execution button again after modifying the generated characters or sentences, the system is configured to regenerate the characters or sentences reflecting the modifications.

[0022] The number and configuration of the above function keys are not limited and may be dynamically added, deleted, or relocated based on user input, usage history, or system judgment.

[0023] In addition, the above artificial intelligence is configured not to intervene automatically unless there is an explicit selection by the user. Effects of the invention

[0024] According to the present invention, the following effects are achieved.

[0025] First, in keyboard applications involving artificial intelligence, the separation of the user's input process from the AI's intervention ensures that the input flow is not disrupted and user control is enhanced.

[0026] Second, the timing of AI intervention can be selectively controlled through the AI ​​execution button placed in the function area, enabling the generation of text or sentences based on user intent.

[0027] Third, interface efficiency is improved as keyboard input and artificial intelligence functions are performed as a single unit through an interface that integrates the input and function areas.

[0028] Fourth, through multiple function buttons, translation, voice input, execution, and user customization functions can be performed directly on the keyboard, thereby improving user convenience.

[0029] Fifth, since regeneration is possible via the AI ​​execution button even after the generated characters or sentences have been modified, repetitive sentence generation and modification are performed efficiently. Brief explanation of the drawing
