Abstract

In this paper, an universal reduced input system that can represent Korean text message, English alphabet letter, special characters, and numbers is develpoed. The reduced keyboard input system has 5 number keys and 4 special function keys to reduce the complexity of inserting characters for the severely disabled. Also, mobile application is developed for the use of easy communication for the disabled.

본 논문에서는 장애인들을 위한 단축 입력시스템을 이용하여 기존의 한글, 영문, 숫자 및 기타 특수문자를 입력하고, 입력된 내용을 점자로 변환하는 시스템을 구현하였다. 단축 입력시스템은 5개의 숫자와 4개의 특수 기능키를 사용하여 복잡한 입력 방법 대신 장애인들이 간단하게 입력하도록 설계하였다. 또한, 핸드폰을 사용하여 입력할 수 있도록 앱을 개발하여 중증장애우들이 핸드폰을 사용하여 문자를 입력할 수 있도록 아두이노와 LCD Matrix를 활용하여 시스템을 구현하였다.
