Abstract

Desktop computers, which were the main means of Internet use and information activity, were pushed out by smart devices that emphasized mobility and simplicity. The recent information production and consumption activities are performed through smart devices, but there is no input device for smart devices that can fully replace traditional input devices such as full-size PC compatible keyboards. Because of the small size of the virtual keyboard that uses the touch screen of the smart device, typographical error occurs at a high rate. In this paper, we propose a variable virtual keyboard that minimizes the typographical errors of the conventional virtual keyboards. The proposed method minimizes the user 's input error by adjusting the size of each key of the virtual keyboard based on accumulated dataset of position and pressure of the user' s input error even though there is no difference in the key position arrangement of the conventional virtual keyboards.

인터넷 이용과 정보활동의 주요 수단이었던 데스크탑 컴퓨터는 모빌리티와 단순화를 강조하는 스마트 기기에 의해 그 자리에서 밀려났다. 최근의 정보생산 및 소비 활동은 스마트 기기를 통하여 이루어지고 있으나 전통적 인 입력 수단인 키보드를 대체할만한 스마트 기기용 입력 수단이 없다. 스마트 기기의 터치스크린을 이용한 가상 키보드는 작은 크기로 인해 입력 오타가 높은 비율로 발생한다. 이에 본 연구에서 우리는 기존의 가상 키보드의 입력 오류를 최소화 할 수 있는 가변 가상 키보드를 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 기존의 가상 키보드와 키의 배열에 차이는 없으나 사용자의 입력 오류의 발생 위치와 압력 정도의 누적 데이터에 따라 판단하여 가상 키보드의 각 키의 크기를 조정함으로써 사용자의 입력 오류를 최소화시킨다.
