Abstract

A new style keyboard which is user friendly and can be used efficiently in a small area is proposed in this paper. The most pre-existing keyboards were using the style of selecting a key among the arranged keys even the formats of key arrangement and the ways of using them were different. A new style of information input device called Dynamic Keyboard(DynaKey) is designed in this paper. Dynakey is a useful information input device which can be used efficiently for a mobile device with small display and for handicapped persons who has difficulties of selecting precise positions.

본 논문에서는 사용자 친화적이면서 좁은 영역에서도 효과적으로 입력을 수행할 수 있는 새로운 방식의 키보드를 제안한다. 기존의 키보드는 문자의 배열 형태나 사용 방식은 다르지만 대부분 키를 나열한 다음 선택하도록하는 방식이었다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 방식과 다르게 키보드 내용이 동적으로 변화하는 새로운 방식의 정보 입력장치인 Dynamic Keyboard(DynaKey)를 설계한다. Dynakey는 정확한 위치 선택이 어려운 장애인이나 화면이 작은 이동기기에서 사용하기 편리한 정보입력장치이다.
