A study was conducted to investigate the availability of Fitts' Law to Hangul input systems on mobile phones. Three different Hangul input systems were experimented to measure the performance time to evaluate the physical interface of all. The measured performance time was found to be well fitted with the modified Fitts' Law by Hangul input systems on mobile phones. As a result, the physical interfaces for Hangul input systems could be evaluated quantitatively with the prediction of the performance time by Fitts' Law.

Virtual Hangul keyboards like Chun-Ji-In, Narat-Gul, and QWERTY are based on eyesight recognition, in which input letter positions are fixed in the smartphone environment. The input method of a fixed-position style is not very convenient for visually impaired individuals. In order to resolve the issue of inconvenience of the Hangul input system, we propose a new paradigm of the finger-touch based Hangul input system that does not need eyesight recognition of input buttons. For the convenience of learning the touch-motion based keyboard, finger touches are designed by considering the shape and frequencies of Hangul vowels and consonants together with the preference of fingers. The base position is decided by the first touch of the screen, and the finger-touch keyboard is used in the same way for all the other touch-style devices, regardless of the differences in size and operation system. In this input method, unique finger-touch motions are assigned for Hangul letters that significantly reduce the input errors.

There are many Hangul input systems to input Korean letter on computer or smart phone. However, the existing systems need to be required more efforts to modify the already inputted letters. This research suggests the Hangul letter modification method which can modify letter effectively based on reusing the alphabets previously inputted. The Hangul modification system using "Jamo Modification Window" follows the composition principle of Hangul, and utilize the already inputted alphabets. It can be applicable to the existing input system without any modification using only "Jamo Modification Window". Especially, this system is very useful on smart phone with small screen.

There is a limitation of using a small number of input buttons for writing Hangul words on hand-held devices. As a quick and convenient way of implementing Hangul vowels by small number of buttons, we propose a vowel input system in which vowels are fabricated from eight vowels. Our input system supports a fast input speed by making all the diphthong from one or two strokes. It also adopts a multiple input method for diphthong that users can make a diphthong in a user-friendly way of vowel writing formation or pronunciation similarity. Furthermore, we added an error correction functionality for the similar vowels that are caused by vowel harmony rules. When the proposed method is compared to the previous ones, our method outperformed in the input speed and error correction.

A Hangul input method consists of two core components: key layout for primitive units (Natja), and binding rules to form more complex, composite units from primitive ones. However, careless design and implementation of an input method may result in ambiguity and inability of contiguous typing, when it comes to handle composite Hangul units. This is due to the collective nature of Hangul, namely, existence of implicit boundaries between units and syllables. This issue gets more challenging for the context-dependent 2-beolsik method, mobile environment having significantly fewer keys, and yet addition of the support for Old Hangul. For the sake of the management of complexity, we devised a system in which the binding rule is divided into two layers rather than one. Based on this concept, we implemented a tool program that, given the primitive units and their binding rules, generates input details of every composite unit and detects any potential ambiguity and conflicts. We presented the actual analysis result for Samsung Cheonji-in and KT Naratgeul, two of the most popular mobile Hangul input methods used in Korea.

For a quick and easy way of writing Hangul in hand-held devices, we analyzed the combination rules of Hangul alphabets that we constructed a small set of Hangul alphabets that combines a whole set of Hangul alphabets. Hangul consonants are generated from base set of consonants with function keys and vowels are constructed from eight base set of vowels by combination rules and stroke-adding rules. Especially, we adopted an easy error-correction method to resolve the inconvenience of using a delete key for vowel harmony errors. Futhermore, we diversified the input method of diphthongs for user-friendliness by minimizing the efforts of teaming vowel combination rules. We compared our method with previous methods of 'Chon-Ji-In' and 'Na-Rat-Keul' that the proposed method is better than the previous methods in input speed and error correction functionality.

This paper describes the development of a window manager based on the real time operating system, Qplus-p, for small internet appliance. Current window managers for small internet appliance are originally developed for desktop environment and then modified for embedded systems. So they have inadequate functions for small internet appliances and do not perfectly support Hangul. The Qplus-P window manager adds the Hangul processing function to Matchbox window manager, a royalty-free window manager for small Internet appliance and provides a new Hangul input method called Amikey. Input mode can be changed automatically from Hangul mode to English mode and vice versa by Amikey. In addition, Qplus-P window manager provides Hangul supported basic applications such as web browser, e-mail client, MP3 player. We developed the window manager by porting open sources to target system after adding Hangul supported functions to them.

In this paper we discuss optimization of neural network parameters, such as inclination of the sigmoid function, the numbers of the input layer's units and the hidden layer's units, considering application to recognition of hand written Hangul. Hangul characters are composed of vowels and consonants, and basically classified to six patterns by their positions. Using these characteristics of Hangul, the pattern of a given character is determined by its peripheral distribution and the other features. After then, the vowels and the consonants are recognized by the optimized neural network. The constructed recognition system including a neural network is applied to non-learning Hangul written by some Korean people, which are the names randomly taken from Korean spiritual and cultural research institute.
