REMOTE CONTROL APPARATUS USING A SOFT KEYBOARD, METHOD FOR INPUTTING CHARACTER BY REMOTE CONTROL APPARATUS AND DISPLAY APPARATUS USING A SOFT KEYBOARD

摘要

A remote control apparatus using a soft keyboard, a character input method using the same and a display device using the soft keyboard are provided to use the soft keyboard having the same key array as a hardware keyboard, thereby solving a problem that plural buttons occupy a large area, enabling a user to confirm a character inputted through the soft keyboard easily, and reduce a button operation frequency. A display unit(110) displays a soft keyboard having plural character buttons for displaying at least two or more characters for character input. A user operation unit(120) is for selecting a target button among the plural character buttons displayed on the display unit. A control unit(130) is for selecting the target character by alternatively activating at least two or more characters positioned in the target button if the target button is selected. The soft keyboard further comprises a character confirm window for displaying an input state of a character inputted through the plural character buttons.
