Korean vowels have special feature such that same vowels do not appear sequentially in a syllable. And two vowels appear with consistent rules. Using this feature, functional key stroke methods are available to Korean computer keyboard. Tapping a key makes diphthong easily. This will be used to Korean computer keyboard design.

In this study, four alternatives for the arrangement of Korean alphabets on computer keyboards are developed and analyzed to find the better design than the KS(Korean Standard) keyboard. Among the developed four modified models MOD 1 to MOD4, we suggest MOD3 as the best design which incorporates the keys usage frequencies and the compatibility of present standard.

It is a well-known fact that password based authentication system has been threatened for crucial data leakage through monitoring key log. Recently, to prevent this type of attack using keystroke logging, virtual onscreen keyboards are widely used as one of the solutions. The virtual keyboards, however, also have some crucial vulnerabilities and the major weak point is that important information, such as password, can be exposed by tracking the trajectory of the mouse cursor. Thus, in this paper, we discuss the vulnerabilities of the onscreen keyboard, and present hypothetical attack scenario and a method to crack passwords. Finally to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme, we demonstrate an example experiment which includes attacking and cracking by utilizing password dictionary and analyze the result.

It has been steadily increasing to use a wireless keyboard via Radio Frequency which is the input device. Especially, wireless keyboards that use 2.4 GHz frequency band are the most common items and their vulnerabilities have been reported since 2010. In this paper, we propose a 2.4 GHz wireless keyboard keystroke analysis and injection system based on the existing vulnerability researches of the Microsoft 2.4 GHz wireless keyboards. This system is possible to control on the remote. We also show that, via experiments using our proposed system, sensitive information of user can be revealed in the real world when using a 2.4 GHz wireless keyboard.

As the mobile computers such as Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) or Smart Phone has been widespread in our daily life, the demand of an extensive data input will gradually be increased. Consequently, many alternative soft keyboards have been proposed to satisfy this requirement. However none of them can provide an absolute solutions for that, the segregated guideline for keyboard arrangement and usage still cause much confusion to the user. Therefore, an integrated guideline is seriously required. In order to come up with the integrated guideline for Korean Soft keyboard GUI, the questionnaire and the experimental test compared with five soft keyboards were conducted in this study. As a result this paper presents five guidelines for improving an input speed of soft keyboard on the mobile computing; following familiarity for effective screen use, using a single key rather than grouping key, considering position of prediction word, considering prompt feedback, finally, considering optimized keyboard size.

Due to a recent rise in use of a wireless keyboard and mouse, attacks which take user's input information or control user's computer remotely exploiting the physical vulnerability in the wireless communication have been reported. Especially, MouseJack, announced by Bastille Network, attacks 2.4 GHz wireless keyboards and mice through exploiting vulnerability of each manufacturer's receiver. Unlike other attacks that have been revealed, this allows to attack AES wireless keyboards. Nonetheless, there is only a brief overview of the attack but no detailed information on this attacking method. Therefore, in this paper we will analyze the Microsoft 2.4 GHz wireless mouse packet and propose a way to set the packet configuration for HID packet injection simulating a wireless mouse. We also develop a system with 2.4 GHz AES wireless keyboard HID packet injection using the proposed packet and demonstrate via experiment that HID packet injection is possible through the system we built.

This study investigates display station physical adjustments preferred by a sample of visual display terminal operators. Participants in the study were selected to assure representation of extremely short and extremely tall persons, as well as persons of midrange physical stature. Individual operators were led through a step-by-step sequence to determine their preferred initial settings of seat height, keyboard height and slope angle, and CRT height and tilt angle. Each operator then performed a brief text input tase, after which final preferred adjustments were measured. Intermeasure correlation strongly suggest that "flat" (low slope angle) keyboards are in appropriate for short operators who select low seat heights. In addition, the keyboard angle adjustments preferred by most operators substantially exceed a current German ergonomic display station requirement.

The QWERTY type keyboard is a classical device that has been used for computers for a long time. The keyboard design of mobile devices like smartphones is an important issue to consider because of the limited space on the touch screen. This paper presents a design for symbol allocation on the QWERTY type soft keyboard. A 27-cell model, including the full stop (.), is proposed in this paper. A QWERTY type keyboard for smartphones is mainly known for its spatial compatibility, whereas the characters of the ANSI keyboard are allocated to the shoulder positions for functional auxiliary input methods such as the long pressing method.

터치 디스플레이 기술이 발달함에 따라 이를 이용한 스마트 폰을 비롯한 스마트 테이블, 스마트 월 등 다양한 HW 플랫폼들이 대두되고 있다. 특히, 터치 디스플레이의 대형화가 가능해짐에 따라 이를 기반으로 다양한 서비스가 제공될 것으로 예상된다. 이를 이용하는 서비스들은 멀티 터치를 기반으로 한명 이상의 사용자 입력을 필요로 할 수 있다. 이에 따라 터치 디스플레이의 주요 입력 도구인 가상 키보드 역시 마찬가지의 요구사항이 있다. 본 논문에서는 리눅스 환경에서 차세대 윈도우즈 매니저(Wayland/Weston)을 기반으로 가상 키보드 등록, 생성 및 사용 과정에 대해 분석하고, 멀티 가상 키보드를 지원하는 윈도우 매니저를 설계 및 구현한다.

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.
