  In the input frame data table TD100, the “permitted character type” is a type of characters permitted to be input to the character input frame specified by the corresponding input frame ID. In the “permitted character type” item, an alphabetic label is shown. The label shown in the item “permitted character type” will be described with reference to the following label explanation table T110.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a label explanation table T110 as an example. Referring to FIG. 10, “Description” in the label explanation table T110 is a description of a corresponding label. For example, the label “KANJI” means a Chinese character. In this case, in the item “permitted character type” of the input frame data table TD100 in FIG. 9, the character input box specified by the input frame ID corresponding to the label “KANJI” has kanji input as the permitted character type. Allowed. In this case, for example, in the character input box IW212 specified by the input box ID “TX01”, the input of kanji is permitted as the permitted character type.

  In addition, for example, in the label explanation table T110, the label “HIRAGAANA” means hiragana. In this case, in the item “permitted character type” of the input frame data table TD100, hiragana input is permitted as a permitted character type in the character input frame specified by the input frame ID corresponding to the label “HIRAGAANA”. .

  Further, for example, in the label explanation table T110, the label “HALF-ALPH-LOWER” means a single-byte lower case alphabet. In this case, in the “permitted character type” item of the input frame data table TD100, the character input frame specified by the input frame ID corresponding to the label “HALF-ALPH-LOWER” includes a lower-case alphabetic character as the permitted character type. Input is allowed.

  For example, according to the input frame data table TD100, the character input frame IW282 specified by the input frame ID “TX15” is permitted to input half-width alphabet uppercase letters, half-width alphabet lowercase letters, and half-width numbers as permitted character types. In this case, the character input in the character input box IW282 is displayed in the character input box IW282 after being replaced with “*”.

  Referring to FIG. 9 again, in the input frame data table TD100, “inputable data amount” can be input to the character input frame specified by the corresponding input frame ID by the character of the corresponding permitted character type. This is the amount of character data. For example, in the character input box IW232 specified by the input box ID “TX05”, it is possible to input half-width numbers up to a total of 4 bytes. Here, it is assumed that the data amount of single-byte numbers is 1 byte. In this case, up to four characters in total can be entered in the character input box IW232.

Here, assuming that there is an effective operation, the process proceeds to step S112. Here, it is assumed that the effective operation performed is an operation of pressing the direction button 541B corresponding to the direction button image 541BGA displayed on the control image MG100A.

  In step S112, control signal transmission processing is performed. In the control signal transmission process, control unit 510 uses communication unit 560 to transmit an RC signal as a control signal corresponding to the effective operation performed to data processing device 600. It is assumed that the RC signal as the control signal transmitted by control unit 510 includes a device ID that is information for identifying the device.

In this case, the RC signal transmitted from the wireless keyboard 400 to the data processing device 600 includes the device ID “11KB”. When the RC signal as the control signal is transmitted, the process of step S112 ends.

  In data processing device 600, control signal corresponding processing T is performed. As described above, the control signal corresponding process T is a process performed independently of other processes. In the control signal handling process T, first, the process of step S141 is performed.

  In step S141, control unit 610 determines whether or not a control signal has been received. If YES in step S141, the process proceeds to step S142. On the other hand, if NO at step S141, the process at step S141 is performed again. Here, it is assumed that control unit 610 receives a DOWN-RC signal as a control signal. In this case, YES is determined in step S141, and the process proceeds to step S142.

  In step S142, it is determined whether or not the received control signal is a direction signal. Specifically, control unit 610 determines whether the received RC signal as the control signal is an UP-RC signal, a DOWN-RC signal, a LEFT-RC signal, or a RIGHT-RC signal. If YES in step S142, the process proceeds to step S142A. On the other hand, if NO at step S142, the process proceeds to step S143 described later. Here, it is assumed that the received RC signal as the control signal is a DOWN-RC signal, and the process proceeds to step S142A.

  In step S142A, a control signal corresponding process D is performed. In control signal correspondence processing D, control unit 610 performs processing corresponding to the received RC signal as a control signal. Here, it is assumed that the Web page image G200 of FIG. Further, it is assumed that the received RC signal as a control signal is a DOWN-RC signal. In this case, the control unit 610 uses the VDP 632 to move the selection frame SL205 downward so that the position of the selection frame SL205 displayed on the web page image G200 is, for example, a position surrounding the character input frame IW222. Let In this case, the character input frame IW222 is selected. Then, the process of step S141 is performed again.

In the operation determination process M, the process proceeds to step S113 after the process of step S112.
In step S113, control unit 510 determines whether or not the effective operation performed is a direction button operation or a determination button operation. Here, it is assumed that control image MG100A in FIG. 7 is displayed on display unit 530. In this case, it is assumed that the direction button operation is an operation of pressing a button corresponding to any of the direction button images 541AGA, 541BGA, 541CGA, and 541DGA. The determination button operation will be described later.

  If YES in step S113, the process of step S111 is performed again. On the other hand, if NO at step S113, the process proceeds to step S114 described later. Here, it is assumed that the effective operation performed is a direction button operation of pressing the direction button 541B corresponding to the direction button image 541BGA displayed on the control image MG100A. In this case, YES is determined in step S113, and the process of step S111 is performed again.

  Next, it is assumed that an operation of pressing function button 542A corresponding to function button image 542AGA displayed on control image MG100A is performed in a state where control image MG100A of FIG. 7 is displayed on display unit 530. In this case, it is determined as YES in Step S111, and the process proceeds to Step S112.

  Then, an END-RC signal as a control signal is transmitted to the data processing device 600 by the control signal transmission process in step S112.

  In the data processing device 600, when receiving the END-RC signal as the control signal, YES is determined in step S141, and the process proceeds to step S142. And it determines with NO by step S142, and progresses to step S143.

  In step S143, it is determined whether or not the received control signal is an end signal. Specifically, control unit 610 determines whether or not the received RC signal as a control signal is an END-RC signal. If YES at step S143, the process proceeds to step S143A. On the other hand, if NO at step S143, the process proceeds to step S144 described later. Here, it is assumed that the received RC signal as the control signal is an END-RC signal, and the process proceeds to step S143A.

  In step S143A, control signal handling processing E is performed. In the control signal handling process E, the control unit 610 terminates the program being executed. Here, it is assumed that the program executed by the control unit 610 is a Web browser program. In this case, the control unit 610 deletes the Web page image G200 displayed on the display unit 630, and ends the control signal corresponding process T.

In the operation determination process M, the process proceeds to step S113 after the process of step S112.
In step S113, the same processing as described above is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. Here, it is assumed that the effective operation performed is an operation of pressing function button 542A corresponding to function button image 542AGA displayed on control image MG100A. In this case, NO is determined in step S113, and the process proceeds to step S114.

  In step S114, control unit 510 determines whether or not the effective operation performed is an end button operation. Here, the end button operation is an operation of pressing the function button 542A corresponding to the function button image 542AGA in a state where the control image MG100A of FIG. If YES in step S114, the operation determination process M ends. On the other hand, if NO at step S114, the process at step S111 is performed again. Here, assuming that the effective operation performed is an end button operation, the operation determination process M ends.

  Next, it is assumed that an operation of pressing the determination button 541E corresponding to the determination button image 541EGA displayed on the control image MG100A is performed in a state where the control image MG100A of FIG. In this case, it is determined as YES in Step S111, and the process proceeds to Step S112.

  Then, an ENTER-RC signal as a control signal is transmitted to the data processing device 600 by the control signal transmission process in step S112. The transmitted ENTER-RC signal includes the device ID “11MA” of the mobile terminal device 500.

  In the data processing device 600, when the ENTER-RC signal as the control signal is received, YES is determined in step S141, and the process proceeds to step S142. And it determines with NO by step S142, and progresses to step S143. And it determines with NO by step S143, and progresses to step S144.

  In step S144, it is determined whether or not the received control signal is a decision signal. Specifically, control unit 610 determines whether or not the received RC signal as a control signal is an ENTER-RC signal. If YES in step S144, the process proceeds to step S144A. On the other hand, if NO at step S144, the process at step S141 is performed again. Here, the received RC signal as a control signal is assumed to be an ENTER-RC signal, and the process proceeds to step S144A.

  In step S144A, control unit 610 determines whether there is a selected state. If YES in step S144A, the process proceeds to step S144B. On the other hand, if NO at step S144A, the process at step S141 is performed again. Here, it is assumed that the display unit 630 displays a Web page image in which the position of the selection frame SL205 is the position surrounding the character input frame IW224 in the Web page image G200 of FIG. That is, it is assumed that the character input frame IW224 is in a selected state. That is, the character input frame IW224 is a selected character input frame. In this case, YES is determined in step S144A, and the process proceeds to step S144B.

  In step S144B, control unit 610 determines whether or not the character input frame is in a selected state. If YES in step S144B, the process proceeds to step S144C. On the other hand, if NO at step S144B, the process proceeds to step S144D described later. Here, assuming that the character input frame is in a selected state, the process proceeds to step S144C.

  In step S144C, an input enable setting process T is performed. In the input enable setting process T, the control unit 610 sets the selected character input frame to a state in which characters can be input in the character input frame (hereinafter also referred to as input enabled state). Then, the process proceeds to step S145.

  In step S145, a character input process T is performed. Details of the character input process T will be described later.

If NO in step S144B, the process proceeds to step S144D.
In step S144D, control unit 610 determines whether or not the link content described above is in a selected state. If YES in step S144D, the process proceeds to step S144E. On the other hand, if NO at step S144D, the process at step S141 is performed again.

  In step S144E, link correspondence processing is performed. In the link handling process, control unit 610 performs a process based on the link content. If the link content is, for example, a character string linked to another Web page, control unit 610 performs processing for causing display unit 630 to display the other Web page. Then, the process of step S141 is performed again.

In the operation determination process M, the process proceeds to step S113 after the process of step S112.
In step S113, the same processing as described above is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. Here, the determination button operation is an operation of pressing the determination button 541E corresponding to the determination button image 541EGA displayed on the control image MG100A in a state where the control image MG100A of FIG. 7 is displayed on the display unit 530. To do. It is assumed that the valid operation determined to have been performed in step S111 is a determination button operation. In this case, YES is determined in step S113, and the process of step S111 is performed again.

  Next, the character input process T will be described. The character input process T is a process performed when the character input frame displayed on the display unit 630 is in an input enabled state. The character input frame in the input enabled state is an input frame set in the input enabled state. In portable terminal device 500, the following character input process M is performed independently of the other processes.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the character input process M and the character input process T. Referring to FIG. 12, in character input process T, first, the process of step S241 is performed.

  In step S241, it is determined whether or not the transmission source of the received control signal is a mobile terminal device. Specifically, control unit 610 determines whether or not the device ID included in the received RC signal as the control signal is the device ID of the mobile terminal device.

  If YES in step S241, the process proceeds to step S242. On the other hand, if NO at step S241, the process proceeds to step S261 described later. Here, it is assumed that the device ID of the mobile terminal device 500 is “11MA”. Further, it is assumed that control unit 610 receives an ENTER-RC signal as a control signal including device ID “11MA”. In this case, YES is determined in step S241, and the process proceeds to step S242.

  In step S <b> 242, control unit 610 uses communication unit 660 to transmit character string request data as a character string request instruction, which is an instruction for requesting a character string, to portable terminal device 500. The character string request data to be transmitted includes the device ID of the device itself and the input frame data. Here, it is assumed that the device ID of the own device (data processing device 600) is “11TA”. The input frame data is data indicating information on a character input frame in an input enabled state. The input frame data indicates an input frame ID for specifying a character input frame in an input enabled state, and input frame correspondence information corresponding to the input frame ID in the input frame data table. When the character string request data as the character string request instruction is transmitted, the process of step S242 ends.

  In addition, when it determines with NO in step S252 or step S253 of FIG. 12 mentioned later, and the process of step S242 is performed again, in step S242, the control part 610 adds to apparatus ID and input frame data of an own apparatus. In addition, the character string request data including the error message is transmitted to the mobile terminal device 500. The error message is, for example, a message “An error has occurred. Please try again.”

  Here, the display unit 630 displays a Web page image in which the position of the selection frame SL205 in the Web page image G200 of FIG. 8 surrounds the character input frame IW224, and the character input frame IW224 is displayed. Assume that input is possible. Further, it is assumed that the input frame data table used in the process of step S242 is the input frame data table TD100 of FIG. In this case, the input box data included in the character string request data is the following input box data TD200.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram showing input frame data TD200 as an example. Referring to FIG. 13, input box data TD200 indicates an input box ID “TX04” that specifies character input box IW224 in an input enabled state. Also, the input frame data TD200 indicates the permitted character type and the amount of data that can be input corresponding to the input frame ID “TX04” in the input frame data table TD100 of FIG.

  Here, the permitted character type indicated in the input frame data TD200 and the label explanation table T110 in FIG. 10 indicate that the input of hiragana is permitted in the character input frame IW224 in the input enabled state. That is, the permitted character type indicated in the input frame data TD200 is a character type that is permitted to be input to the character input frame IW224 in the input enabled state.

  Referring to FIG. 12 again, in the character input process M, first, the process of step S211 is performed.

  In step S211, control unit 510 determines whether or not character string request data as a character string request instruction has been received. If YES in step S211, the process proceeds to step S212. On the other hand, if NO at step S211, the process at step S211 is performed again. Here, assuming that character string request data as a character string request instruction has been received, the process proceeds to step S212.

  When the received character string request data includes an error message, control unit 510 causes display unit 530 to display the error message for a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds). Then, the process proceeds to step S212.

  In step S212, RC mode release processing M is performed. In RC mode release processing M, control unit 510 changes the operation mode of portable terminal device 500 from the RC mode to the normal mode. Even if the process of step S112 of the operation determination process M of FIG. 11 performed independently of the character input process M is performed by setting the operation mode of the mobile terminal device 500 to the normal mode, the control signal is The data is not transmitted to the data processing device 600.

  Control unit 510 also sets direction buttons 541A, 541B, 541C, 541D and determination button 541E of portable terminal device 500 in the normal mode as buttons for inputting characters or editing characters, which will be described later. Then, the process proceeds to step S213.

  In step S213, an effective button setting process M is performed. Here, the effective button is a button for performing a corresponding process when pressed. In the valid button setting process M, the control unit 510 sets a button for inputting characters (hereinafter also referred to as a character input invalid button), which is an invalid button, as a valid button. Here, the character input invalid buttons are character buttons AB, CLB, CB, 1B, 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B, 6B, 7B, 8B, 9B, KB, 0B, #B included in the character button group 546. And In this case, the control unit 510 sets the character buttons AB, CLB, CB, 1B, 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B, 6B, 7B, 8B, 9B, KB, 0B, and #B as valid buttons. Hereinafter, the character button set as the valid button is also referred to as a valid character button. Then, the process proceeds to S214.

  In step S214, it is determined whether or not the input of the permitted character type is permitted. Specifically, control unit 510 determines whether or not the permitted character type indicated by the input box data included in the received character string request data is input permitted character type M. Here, the input permitted character type M is a type of characters permitted to be input in the mobile terminal device 500. Here, the input permitted character type M is, for example, kanji, hiragana, full-width katakana, half-width alphabet uppercase, half-width alphabet lowercase, and half-width numbers. That is, in portable terminal device 500, as an example, it is assumed that input of half-width katakana, full-width alphabet uppercase letters, full-width alphabet lowercase letters, and full-width numerals is not permitted. Hereinafter, in the mobile terminal device 500, the type of characters that are not allowed to be input is also referred to as an input non-permitted character type M. That is, half-width katakana, full-width alphabet uppercase, full-width lowercase alphabet, and full-width numerals are the input non-permitted character type M.

  If YES in step S214, the process proceeds to step S215. On the other hand, if NO at step S214, the process proceeds to step S218 described later. Here, it is assumed that the input frame data included in the received character string request data is the input frame data TD200 of FIG. In this case, since the hiragana as the permitted character type indicated by the input frame data TD200 included in the character string request data is the input permitted character type M, YES is determined in step S214, and the process proceeds to step S215.

  In step S215, a character input mode setting process M is performed. In the character input mode setting process M, the control unit 510 sets the type of character input by pressing the valid character button to the permitted character type indicated by the input box data included in the received character string request data. The character input mode is set by this setting. Here, it is assumed that the permitted character type indicated by the input frame data included in the received character string request data is hiragana. In this case, the type of character input by pressing an effective character button (for example, character buttons 1B, 2B, etc.) is set to hiragana.

  In the following, the character input mode when the type of character input by pressing the effective character button is set to kanji or hiragana is also referred to as kanji-hiragana input mode.

  When the type of character input by pressing the effective character button is set to kanji, the first character input by pressing the effective character button is hiragana. Then, if there is an operation for converting to kanji (hereinafter also referred to as kanji conversion operation) in a state where a plurality of hiragana character strings have been input, all or part of the input character string is converted to kanji. Is done. The kanji conversion operation is, for example, an operation of pressing the direction button 541B. Note that if there is a kanji conversion operation in a state where one hiragana character is input, the hiragana character is converted into a kanji.

  The character input mode when the type of character input by pressing the effective character button is set to double-byte katakana is also referred to as katakana input mode. In addition, the character input mode when the type of the character input by pressing the valid character button is set to either one-byte uppercase alphabet or lowercase one-byte alphabet is also referred to as alphabet input mode. The character input mode when the character type input by pressing the effective character button is set to a single-byte number is also referred to as a number input mode. Then, the process proceeds to step S221.

  In step S221, a character input image display process M is performed. In the character input image display process M, the control unit 510 uses the VDP 532 to generate a character input image and causes the display unit 530 to display the generated character input image. Here, it is assumed that the generated character input image is a character input image (hereinafter also referred to as a character input image N) in which the character string “A ...” is not displayed in the following character input image MG300. And the process of step S221 is complete | finished.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a character input image MG300 as an example. Referring to FIG. 14, mode character MG310 is displayed in character input image MG300. The mode character is a character for indicating a set character input mode.

  When the set character input mode is the Kanji-Hiragana input mode, the character input image (for example, the character input image MG300) indicates “Chinese” of the Chinese character as indicated by the mode character MG310. In addition, when the set character input mode is the katakana input mode, “a” of katakana is displayed on the character input image. If the set character input mode is the alphabet input mode, the alphabet “A” is displayed in the character input image. When the set character input mode is the number input mode, the number “1” is displayed on the character input image.

  In addition, a character input area MR320 is arranged in the character input image MG300. Character input image MG300 displays a character input by pressing an effective character button. The character string “A...” Shown in the character input area MR320 of the character input image MG300 shows an example when the input character string is displayed.

Referring to FIG. 12 again, after the process of step S221, the process proceeds to step S222.
In step S222, a character input editing process M is performed. In the character input editing process M, the control unit 510 performs a process for displaying a character corresponding to the pressed effective character button in the character input area MR320 when the user presses the effective character button. .

  Specifically, when the valid character button is pressed, the control unit 510 converts the character corresponding to the set character input mode into a character corresponding to the pressed valid character button. Processing for displaying in the input area MR320 is performed.

  For example, when the character input mode is the Kanji-Hiragana input mode and the character button 1B of FIG. 3 as the effective character button is pressed, the control unit 510 displays “Hi” in the character input area MR320. Processing to display is performed.

  When the same valid character button is continuously pressed a plurality of times, the control unit 510 displays the character corresponding to the pressed valid character button and the character corresponding to the number of times pressed, in the character input area. Processing for displaying in the MR 320 is performed. For example, when the character input mode is the Kanji-Hiragana input mode, if the character button 1B of FIG. 3 as the effective character button is continuously pressed a plurality of times, the control unit 510 presses the character button 1B. Each time the character input area MR320 is displayed, the hiragana characters “a”, “i”, “u”, “e”, “o” are displayed in this order.

  Note that when the above-described kanji conversion operation is performed in a state where a plurality of hiragana character strings are displayed in the character input area MR320, the control unit 510 converts all or part of the character strings into kanji characters. Processing for displaying the column in the character input area MR320 is performed.

  Further, for example, when the character input mode is the alphabet input mode, when the character button 2B of FIG. 3 as the effective character button is continuously pressed a plurality of times, the control unit 510 presses the character button 2B. Each time it is displayed, the letters “A”, “B”, and “C” are displayed in order in the character input area MR320.

  When a character button CLB as an effective character button is pressed while a character is displayed in character input area MR320, control unit 510 erases the character displayed most recently in character input area MR320. To do.

  When the direction buttons 541C and 541D are pressed while a plurality of characters are displayed in the character input area MR320, the character to be edited can be changed.

  In the character input editing process M, a character string determination process is performed independently of the other processes. In the character string determination process, control unit 510 determines whether or not there is a character determination operation. The character confirmation operation is, for example, an operation of continuously pressing the determination button 541E twice in a state where characters are displayed in the character input area MR320. Control unit 510 ends character input editing process M when there is a character confirmation operation. Hereinafter, the character string displayed in the character input area MR320 at the time when the character confirmation operation is performed is also referred to as a confirmed character string. Then, the process proceeds to step S223.

  In step S223, it is determined whether the number of input characters is equal to or less than a predetermined number. Specifically, control unit 510 determines whether the total data amount of the confirmed character string is equal to or less than the inputable data amount indicated by the input frame data included in the received character string request data. If YES at step S223, the process proceeds to step S224. On the other hand, if NO in step S223, control unit 510 causes error message to be displayed on display unit 530 for a predetermined time, and the process of step S222 is performed again. The error message is, for example, a message “The number of input characters exceeds the number of characters that can be input in the selected character input box”. The predetermined time is, for example, 3 seconds.

  Here, it is assumed that the confirmed character string is “Taro”. In this case, the total data amount of the fixed character string “Taro” is 6 bytes. Also, it is assumed that the input box data included in the received character string request data is input box data TD200. In this case, YES is determined in step S223, and the process proceeds to step S224.

  In step S224, control unit 510 determines whether or not a character input mode setting process MN described later has been performed. That is, whether or not the permitted character type indicated by the input frame data included in the received character string request data is not the input permitted character type M but the input non-permitted character type M, and whether or not the character input mode setting process MN has been performed. Is determined. If YES in step S224, the process proceeds to step S225 described later. On the other hand, if NO at step S224, the process proceeds to step S226. Here, assuming that the character input mode setting process MN has not been performed, the process proceeds to step S226.

  In step S226, a character string transmission process M is performed. In the character string transmission process M, the control unit 510 uses the communication unit 560 to transmit the input box character data to the device specified by the device ID included in the received character string request data. Here, the input box character data is data indicating a character string to be input to the character input box in the input enabled state specified by the input box ID indicated by the input box data included in the received character string request data. .

  Here, the input box character data to be transmitted is data indicating the input box ID indicated by the input box data included in the received character string request data, the fixed character string, and the data amount of the fixed character string.

  Here, it is assumed that the input frame data included in the received character string request data is the input frame data TD200 of FIG. Further, it is assumed that the confirmed character string is “Taro”. Further, it is assumed that the device ID included in the character string request data is “11TA”. In this case, the input box character data is the following input box character data MD300. The input box character data MD300 is transmitted to the data processing device 600 identified by the device ID “11TA”. Then, the process of step S226 ends.

  FIG. 15 is a diagram showing input box character data MD300 as an example. Referring to FIG. 15, in input box character data MD300, “input character string” is a character to be input to a character input box in an input enabled state specified by input box ID. The “input character string” is the fixed character string described above. The “data amount” is the data amount of the “input character string”.

  Referring to FIG. 12 again, in the character input process T, the process proceeds to step S251 after the process in step S242.

  In step S251, control unit 610 determines whether or not input box character data has been received. If YES in step S251, the process proceeds to step S252. On the other hand, if NO at step S251, the process at step S251 is performed again. Here, assuming that the input box character data MD300 of FIG. 15 has been received, the process proceeds to step S252.

  In step S252, it is determined whether or not the input character string indicated by the received input box character data is a character string to be input to the input enabled character input box. Specifically, whether control unit 610 matches the input box ID indicated by the received input box character data and the input box ID indicated by the input box data included in the character string request data transmitted to portable terminal device 500. Determine whether or not. If YES in step S252, the process proceeds to step S253. On the other hand, if NO at step S252, the process at step S242 is performed again.

  Here, it is assumed that the received input box character data is input box character data MD300. Further, it is assumed that the input frame data included in the character string request data transmitted to the mobile terminal device 500 is the input frame data TD200 in FIG. In this case, YES is determined in step S252, and the process proceeds to step S253.

  In step S253, control unit 610 matches the character type of the input character string indicated by the received input box character data with the permitted character type indicated by the input box data included in the character string request data transmitted to portable terminal device 500. It is determined whether or not to do. If YES in step S253, the process proceeds to step S254. On the other hand, if NO at step S253, the process at step S242 is performed again.

  Here, it is assumed that the received input box character data is input box character data MD300. Assume that the character type of the input character string indicated by the input box character data MD300 is hiragana. Further, it is assumed that the input frame data included in the character string request data transmitted to the mobile terminal device 500 is the input frame data TD200 in FIG. In this case, YES is determined in step S253, and the process proceeds to step S254.

  In addition, when it determines with NO in step S253, in the situation where the permission character classification of the character input frame of an input enabled state is hiragana, for example, while inputting the hiragana in the portable terminal device 500, This is a case where the converted character is transmitted to the data processing device 600 in a state where a part or all of the hiragana is converted into a kanji character by a user's erroneous operation.

  In step S254, control unit 610 transmits a character string reception completion notification T to portable terminal device 500. Here, the character string reception completion notification T is a notification indicating that reception of a character string for input into a character input frame in an input enabled state has been completed. Then, the process of step S254 ends.

In the character input process M, the process proceeds to step S227 after the process of step S226.
In step S227, control unit 510 determines whether or not character string reception completion notification T has been received. If YES in step S227, the process proceeds to step S231. On the other hand, if NO at step S227, the process at step S227 is performed again. Here, assuming that the character string reception completion notification T is received, the process proceeds to step S231.

  In step S231, an RC mode setting process M is performed. In RC mode setting process M, control unit 510 changes the operation mode of portable terminal device 500 from the normal mode to the RC mode. Control unit 510 uses VDP 532 to display control image MG100A in FIG. 7 on display unit 530 instead of the image currently displayed on display unit 530 (for example, character input image MG300 in FIG. 14). Display. Then, the process of step S211 is performed again.

In the character input process T, the process proceeds to step S255 after the process of step S254.
In step S255, a character string display process T is performed. In the character string display process T, the control unit 610 uses the VDP 632 to display the input character string indicated by the received input box character data in the input enabled character input box. Control unit 610 causes storage unit 620 to store the input character string indicated by the received input box character data in association with the character input box in the input enabled state.

  Here, it is assumed that the display unit 630 displays a Web page image in which the position of the selection frame SL205 is the position surrounding the character input frame IW224 in the Web page image G200 of FIG. That is, it is assumed that the character input frame in the input enabled state is the character input frame IW224. The received input box character data is assumed to be input box character data MD300.

  In this case, the character string “Taro” is displayed in the character input frame IW224 by the character string display process T. That is, a character is input to the character input frame in the input enabled state. The storage unit 620 stores the character string “taro” in association with the input frame ID “TX04” for specifying the character input frame IW224.

  Then, the character input process T ends, the process returns to the control signal handling process T in FIG. 11, and the process of step S141 is performed again.

  Next, a process when it is determined NO in S214 of FIG. 12 will be described. That is, a process when the permitted character type indicated by the input frame data included in the received character string request data is not the input permitted character type M but the input non-permitted character type M will be described. Here, it is assumed that the storage unit 520 stores a non-permitted character type correspondence data table in advance. The non-permitted character type correspondence data table is a data table indicating the input permitted character type M corresponding to the input non-permitted character type M.

  Here, when the input non-permitted character type M is half-width katakana, full-width alphabet uppercase, full-width lowercase alphabet, and full-width numeric characters, the non-permitted character type correspondence data table stored in the storage unit 520 corresponds to the following non-permitted character types. Assume that the data table is MD400.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a non-permitted character type correspondence data table MD400 as an example. Referring to FIG. 16, in the non-permitted character type correspondence data table MD400, the “non-permitted character type” is the input non-permitted character type M described above. The “corresponding character type” is the input permitted character type M corresponding to the “non-permitted character type”.

  For example, in the non-permitted character type correspondence data table MD400, when the permitted character type indicated by the input frame data included in the received character string request data is a half-width katakana, the input permitted character type M corresponding to the half-width katakana is Indicates double-byte katakana.

Referring to FIG. 12 again, if NO in S214, the process proceeds to step S218.
In step S218, a character input mode setting process MN is performed. In the character input mode setting process MN, the control unit 510 uses the non-permitted character type correspondence data table to indicate the character type input by pressing the valid character button, and the input box included in the received character string request data. It is set to the input permitted character type M corresponding to the permitted character type indicated by the data.

  Here, it is assumed that the non-permitted character type correspondence data table is the non-permitted character type correspondence data table MD400 of FIG. In addition, as an example, the permitted character type indicated by the input frame data included in the received character string request data is a full-width numeral. In the non-permitted character type correspondence data table MD400, the input permitted character type M corresponding to the full-width number as the input non-permitted character type M is a single-byte number. In this case, the type of the character input by pressing the effective character button is set to a single-byte number. In this case, the character input mode of the mobile terminal device 500 is the number input mode. Then, the process proceeds to step S221.

  Assume that the processing in steps S221, S222, and S223 is performed in the same manner as described above. Then, assume that YES is determined in the step S223 and the process proceeds to the step S224.

  In step S224, as described above, the control unit 510 determines that the permitted character type indicated by the input box data included in the received character string request data is not the input permitted character type M but the input non-permitted character type M. It is determined whether or not the character input mode setting process MN has been performed. Here, assuming that the character input mode setting process MN has been performed, the process proceeds to step S225.

  In step S225, a character conversion process M is performed. In the character conversion process M, the control unit 510 receives a character string request (determined character string) as an input non-permitted character type M input in the character input mode set by the character input mode setting process MN. It is converted to a character of the permitted character type indicated by the input box data included in the data.

  Here, it is assumed that the character input mode set by the character input mode setting process MN is a numeric input mode. Further, it is assumed that the input confirmed character string is, for example, a half-width number “123”. In addition, it is assumed that the permitted character type indicated by the input frame data included in the received character string request data is a double-byte number. In this case, the character conversion process M converts the half-width number “123” as the confirmed character string into the full-width number “123” as the confirmed character string.

  Then, the processing after step S226 in FIG. 12 and the processing after step S251 in FIG. 12 are performed, so that the full-width numeral “123” is displayed in the character input box in the input enabled state.

  By performing the processes of steps S218 and S225 described above, the permitted character type indicated by the input frame data included in the received character string request data is not the input permitted character type M but the input non-permitted character type M described above. Even in some cases, it is possible to input characters of a type that is allowed to be input in the character input frame in the input enabled state.

  That is, even when the type of characters permitted to be input in the input enabled character input frame cannot be directly input in the mobile terminal device 500, the type of characters permitted to be input is input to the input enabled character input frame. There is an effect that can be done.

  Next, a process when it is determined NO in step S241 of FIG. 12 will be described. Here, if NO is determined in step S <b> 241, it is assumed that the data processing device 600 has received an RC signal as a control signal including the device ID “11 KB” from the wireless keyboard 400. If NO in step S241, the process proceeds to step S261.

  In step S261, an input mode setting process T is performed. In the input mode setting process T, the control unit 610 sets the data processing device 600 to the keyboard input mode. The keyboard input mode is a mode in which characters indicated by character data received from the wireless keyboard 400 are input to a character input frame in an input enabled state. Then, the process proceeds to step S262.

  In step S262, a character input editing process T is performed. In the character input editing process T, whenever the control unit 610 receives character data by operating the wireless keyboard 400 using the VDP 632, the character input indicated by the received character data is input. Display in the frame.

  In the character input editing process T, a character string determination process T is performed independently of other processes. In the character input editing process T, the control unit 610 determines whether or not there is a character confirmation operation T. The character confirmation operation T is an operation of, for example, pressing the “ENTER key” of the wireless keyboard 400 in a state where characters are displayed in the character input frame in the input enabled state. If there is a character confirmation operation T, the control unit 510 ends the character input editing process T. Then, the character input process T ends, the process returns to the control signal handling process T in FIG. 11, and the process of step S141 is performed again.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the character input frame displayed on the display unit 630 of the data processing device 600 is ready for input, the type of characters (permitted characters) permitted to be input in the character input frame. Type) is transmitted to the mobile terminal device 500.

  In the mobile terminal device 500, when the input of the received character of the permitted character type is permitted, the character type input by pressing the valid character button is set as the permitted character type. Then, the characters of the set permitted character type and input by pressing the effective character button are transmitted to the data processing device 600.

  Therefore, in mobile terminal device 500, the user can perform a character input operation without being aware of the character input mode. As a result, there is an effect that it is possible to easily input characters of a type permitted to be input in the character input frame in the input enabled state.

  In the mobile terminal device 500, when the input of the received character of the permitted character type is not permitted, that is, when the permitted character type is not the input permitted character type M but the input non-permitted character type M, the valid character button The character type input by pressing the button is set to the input permitted character type M corresponding to the permitted character type. Then, the character of the set permitted input character type M and input by pressing the valid character button is converted into the received permitted character type (input non-permitted character type M). The converted permitted character type (input non-permitted character type M) is transmitted to the data processing device 600.

  Therefore, even when characters of a type permitted to be input in the character input frame in the input enabled state cannot be directly input in the mobile terminal device 500, characters of a type permitted to be input are input to the character input frame in the input enabled state. There is an effect that can be done.

  In the present embodiment, when the character input frame displayed on display unit 630 of data processing device 600 is ready for input, an input frame ID for identifying the character input frame is transmitted to portable terminal device 500. The In the mobile terminal device 500, the input character and the received input frame ID are transmitted to the data processing device 600.

  Therefore, in the data processing device 600, by determining whether or not the transmitted input box ID matches the received input box ID, a character is input to a character input box that is not an input target of the received character. There is an effect that can be prevented.

<Second Embodiment>
Next, a process of using the input character string once in the mobile terminal device 500 will be described.

  Since the network system in the present embodiment is similar to network system 1000 in the first embodiment, detailed description will not be repeated. Since the configurations of mobile terminal device 500 and data processing device 600 are the same as those described in the first embodiment, detailed description will not be repeated.

  In the present embodiment, it is assumed that operation determination processing M is performed in mobile terminal device 500 when mobile terminal device 500 is in the RC mode. The operation determination process M is a process performed independently of other processes. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that data processing apparatus 600 performs the following control signal handling process TA independently of other processes.

  Here, it is assumed that control image MG100A in FIG. 7 is displayed on display unit 530 of portable terminal device 500. That is, it is assumed that the state of portable terminal device 500 is state MA. In the state MA, it is assumed that the Web page image G200 of FIG. 8 is displayed on the display unit 630 of the data processing device 600 by operating the direction buttons 541A, 541B, 541C, 541D, the determination button 541E, and the like.

  Here, an input box ID for specifying the character input box is assigned to the character input box by the control unit 610. Various information is associated with the input frame ID. Hereinafter, the data table indicating information associated with the input frame ID is also referred to as an input frame data table. Here, information shown in the following input box data table TD100A is associated with each of a plurality of character input boxes shown in the Web page image G200.

  FIG. 17 is a diagram showing an input frame data table TD100A as an example. Referring to FIG. 17, in the input frame data table TD100A, the items “input frame ID”, “permitted character type”, and “inputable data amount” are “input frame” in the input frame data table TD100 of FIG. Since it is the same as the items “ID”, “permitted character type”, and “inputable data amount”, detailed description will not be repeated.

  In the input box data table TD100A, the “character string type” is a type (type) of a character string requested to be input to the character input box specified by the corresponding input box ID. In the item “character string type”, a label in alphabet is shown. The label shown in the item “character string type” will be described with reference to the following label explanation table T110A.

  FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating a label explanation table T110A as an example. Referring to FIG. 18, in the label explanation table T110A, “description” is a description of a corresponding label. For example, the label “NAME-SEI” means sex (surname) written in Chinese characters. In this case, in the item “character string type” of the input box data table TD100A of FIG. 17, the type of character string that is requested to be input to the character input box specified by the input box ID corresponding to the label “NAME-SEI”. Is the sex (surname) written in Chinese characters.

  For example, in the label explanation table T110A, the label “BIRTHDAY-Y” means the year of birth. In this case, in the “character string type” item of the input frame data table TD100A, the type of character string requested to be input to the character input frame specified by the input frame ID corresponding to the label “BIRTHDAY-Y” is born. It will be a new year. Further, for example, in the label explanation table T110A, the label “BIRTHDAY-M” means the month of birth. In this case, in the item “character string type” of the input frame data table TD100A, the type of character string requested to be input to the character input frame specified by the input frame ID corresponding to the label “BIRTHDAY-M” is born. It becomes a month.

  In the “description” column, when a plurality of labels are used, such as a date of birth, a postal code, and a telephone number, the plurality of labels may be regarded as one processing unit. For example, the labels “BIRTHDAY-Y”, “BIRTHDAY-M”, and “BIRTHDAY-D” may be used as one processing unit for the date of birth.

  Note that the character string type information shown in the input frame data table TD100A is also the above-described input frame correspondence information.

  Here, as described in the first embodiment, the control unit 610 of the data processing device 600 acquires the input frame correspondence information, and uses the acquired input frame correspondence information to input the input frame data table. And the generated input frame data table is stored in the storage unit 620. When the Web page image G200 of FIG. 8 is displayed on the display unit 630, the generated input frame data table is the input frame data table TD100A of FIG. In this case, it is assumed that the input frame data table TD100A is stored in the storage unit 620.

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart of the operation determination process M and the control signal correspondence process TA. In FIG. 19, the process with the same step number as in FIG. 11 is performed in the same way as the process described in FIG. In the following, processing different from the processing in FIG. 11 will be mainly described.

  Referring to FIG. 19, operation determination process M is the same as operation determination process M of FIG. 11 described in the first embodiment, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. The control signal handling process TA is different from the control signal handling process T in FIG. 11 in that step S145A is performed instead of step S145. Other than that, it is the same as the control signal handling process T, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated.

  Here, it is assumed that an ENTER-RC signal as a control signal including the device ID “11MA” is transmitted from the mobile terminal device 500 to the data processing device 600. In addition, on the display unit 630 of the data processing device 600, it is assumed that a Web page image in which the position of the selection frame SL205 is positioned to surround the character input frame IW224 in the Web page image G200 of FIG. . That is, it is assumed that the character input frame IW224 is in a selected state.

  In this case, YES is determined in step S144B of the control signal handling process TA, and the process proceeds to step S144C.

  In step S144C, a process similar to that described in the first embodiment is performed, and thus detailed description will not be repeated. Then, the process proceeds to step S145A.

  In step S145A, a character input process TA is performed. Character input process TA is a process performed when the character input frame displayed on display unit 630 is in an input enabled state. The character input frame in the input enabled state is an input frame set in the input enabled state. In portable terminal device 500, it is assumed that the following character input process MA is performed independently of other processes.

  FIG. 20 is a flowchart of the character input process MA and the character input process TA. In FIG. 20, the processing with the same step number as in FIG. 12 is performed in the same manner as the processing described in FIG. 12, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. In the following, processing different from the processing in FIG. 12 will be mainly described.

  In step S241, processing similar to that described in the first embodiment is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. If YES in step S241, the process proceeds to step S242A. On the other hand, if NO at step S241, the process proceeds to step S261.

  In step S242A, control unit 610 uses communication unit 660 to transmit character string request data A as character string request instruction A, which is an instruction for requesting a character string, to portable terminal device 500. The character string request data A to be transmitted includes the device ID “11TA” of the own device and the input frame data A. The input frame data A indicates an input frame ID for specifying a character input frame in an input enabled state, and input frame correspondence information corresponding to the input frame ID in the input frame data table. When the character string request data A as the character string request instruction A is transmitted, the process of step S242A ends.

  When it is determined NO in step S252 or step S253 of FIG. 20 described later and the process of step S242A is performed again, in step S242A, the control unit 610 determines the device ID and input frame data A of the own device. In addition, the character string request data A including the error message is transmitted to the mobile terminal device 500. The error message is, for example, a message “An error has occurred. Please try again.”

  Here, the display unit 630 displays a Web page image in which the position of the selection frame SL205 in the Web page image G200 of FIG. 8 surrounds the character input frame IW224, and the character input frame IW224 is displayed. Assume that input is possible. Further, it is assumed that the input frame data table used in the process of step S242A is the input frame data table TD100A of FIG. In this case, the input box data A included in the character string request data A is the following input box data TD200A.

  FIG. 21 is a diagram showing input frame data TD200A as an example. Referring to FIG. 21, input frame data TD200A is different from input frame data TD200 of FIG. 13 in that an item “character string type” is added. Other than that, since it is the same as the input frame data TD200, detailed description will not be repeated.

  In the input frame data TD200A, the permitted character type, the inputable data amount, and the character string type corresponding to the input frame ID “TX04” in the input frame data table TD100A of FIG. 17 are shown. Here, based on the character string type (label “NAME-MEI-KANA”) shown in the input box data TD200A and the label explanation table T110A in FIG. 18, the characters that are requested to be input to the character input box IW224 in the input enabled state. The type of column is the name of the name.

  Referring to FIG. 20 again, in the character input process MA, first, the process of step S211A is performed.

  In step S211A, control unit 510 determines whether or not character string request data A as character string request instruction A has been received. If YES in step S211A, the flow proceeds to step S212. On the other hand, if NO at step S211A, the process at step S211A is performed again. Here, assuming that the character string request data A as the character string request instruction A is received, the process proceeds to step S212.

  When the received character string request data A includes an error message, control unit 510 causes display unit 530 to display the error message for a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds). Then, the process proceeds to step S212.

  In step S212, the same processing as that described in the first embodiment is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. With this process, the operation mode of the mobile terminal device 500 is changed from the RC mode to the normal mode.

  In step S213, the same processing as that described in the first embodiment is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated.

  In step S214A, the same process as the process in which the character string request data and the input box data are replaced with the character string request data A and the input box data A in the description of the process of step S214 in FIG. The explanation is not repeated. If YES in step S214A, the process proceeds to step S215A. On the other hand, if NO at step S214A, the process proceeds to step S218A.

  In step S215A, a character input mode setting process MA is performed. In the character input mode setting process MA, in the description of the process in step S215 in FIG. Detailed description will not be repeated because it is performed.

  In step S218A, a character input mode setting process MNA is performed. In the character input mode setting process MNA, the same process as the process in which the character string request data and the input box data are replaced with the character string request data A and the input box data A in the description of the process in step S218 of FIG. Detailed description will not be repeated because it is performed.

  In step S221, the same processing as that described in the first embodiment is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. It is assumed that the character input image N in which the character string “A ...” is not displayed in the character input image MG300 of FIG. Then, the process proceeds to step S221A.

  In step S221A, it is determined whether there is a designated character string. Here, it is assumed that the designated character string is a character string of the character string type indicated by the input box data A included in the received character string request data A. Specifically, control unit 510 determines whether or not the designated character string is stored in storage unit 520. Note that when the process of step S221A is performed for the first time, the designated character string is not stored in the storage unit 520.

  If YES at step S221A, the process proceeds to step S221AB to be described later. On the other hand, if NO at step S221A, the process proceeds to step S222. Here, it is assumed that the designated character string is not stored in the storage unit 520, and the process proceeds to step S222.

  In step S222, the same processing as that described in the first embodiment is performed, and thus detailed description will not be repeated. Here, it is assumed that the inputted fixed character string is “taro”. Then, the process proceeds to step S223A.

  In step S223A, the same process as the process in which the character string request data and the input box data are replaced with the character string request data A and the input box data A, respectively, in the description of the process of step S223 in FIG. The explanation is not repeated. Then, the process proceeds to step S223AB.

  In step S223AB, a character string storage process MA is performed. In the character string storage process MA, the control unit 510 stores character string data in which the character string type indicated by the input box data A included in the received character string request data A is associated with the input confirmed character string. Stored in the unit 520. When the process of step S223AB is performed for the first time, the storage unit 520 stores a character string data table including one character string data.

  When the character string data table is already stored in the storage unit 520, the control unit 510 adds the character string data to the character string data table stored in the storage unit 520.

  When the character string data table indicating the character string type indicated by the input frame data A is stored in the storage unit 520, the control unit 510 displays the character associated with the character string type indicated by the input frame data A. The fixed character string (input character string) indicated by the column data table is replaced with a newly input fixed character string.

  Here, it is assumed that the inputted fixed character string is “taro”. Further, it is assumed that the input frame data A is the input frame data TD200A of FIG. In this case, the storage unit 520 stores the following character string data table MD400. Then, the process of step S223AB ends.

  FIG. 22 is a diagram showing a character string data table MD400 as an example. Referring to FIG. 22, character string data table MD400 includes one character string data. In the character string data table MD400, the “number” is a number for specifying character string data. The “character string type” indicates the type of the input confirmed character string. In the character string data table MD400, from the label explanation table T110A of FIG. The “input character string” indicates an input confirmed character string.

  Again referring to FIG. 20, after the processing of step S223AB, the process proceeds to step S224A.

  In step S224A, control unit 510 determines whether character input mode setting process MNA has been performed. That is, whether the permitted character type indicated by the input frame data A included in the received character string request data A is not the input permitted character type M but the input non-permitted character type M, and the character input mode setting process MNA has been performed. It is determined whether or not. If YES in step S224A, the process proceeds to step S225A. On the other hand, if NO at step S224A, the process proceeds to step S226A.

  In step S225A, a character conversion process MA is performed. In the character conversion process MA, in the description of the process in step S225 of FIG. 12, the character input mode setting process MN, the character string request data, and the input frame data are respectively converted into the character input mode setting process MNA, the character string request data A, and the input. Since the same processing as the processing replaced with frame data A is performed, detailed description will not be repeated.

  In step S226A, a character string transmission process MA is performed. In the character string transmission process MA, the same process as the process in which the character string request data and the input frame data are replaced with the character string request data A and the input frame data A in the description of the process in step S226 of FIG. Detailed description will not be repeated. Here, as an example, it is assumed that the input box character data MD300 of FIG. 15 is transmitted to the data processing device 600 specified by the device ID “11TA”.

In the character input process TA, the process of step S251 is performed.
In steps S251, S252, S253, S254, and S255, the same processing as that described in the first embodiment is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated.

  In the character input process TA, if NO is determined in step S252 or step S253, the process of step S242A is performed. When the process of step S255 ends, the character input process TA ends, the process returns to the control signal corresponding process TA of FIG. 19, and the process of step S141 is performed again.

  Next, as an example, in order to input a character string to each of all the character input frames indicated by the Web page image G200 in FIG. 8, the operation determination process M and the control signal corresponding process TA in FIG. 19, and the character input in FIG. It is assumed that the process MA and the character input process TA are performed a plurality of times. As a result, it is assumed that the following character string data table MD400A is stored in the storage unit 520 of the mobile terminal device 500.

  FIG. 23 is a diagram showing a character string data table MD400A as an example. Referring to FIG. 23, each item in character string data table MD400A is the same as each item in character string data table MD400 in FIG. 22, and thus detailed description will not be repeated.

  Here, it is assumed that control image MG100A in FIG. 7 is displayed on display unit 530 of portable terminal device 500. That is, it is assumed that the state of portable terminal device 500 is state MA. In the state MA, it is assumed that the Web page image G200 of FIG. 8 is displayed on the display unit 630 of the data processing device 600 by operating the direction buttons 541A, 541B, 541C, 541D, the determination button 541E, and the like. Further, it is assumed that the input frame data table TD100A of FIG. 17 is stored in the storage unit 620 when the control unit 610 generates the input frame data table by the above-described processing.

  Then, it is assumed that character input frame IW224 shown in Web page image G200 in FIG. 8 is set to the input enabled state by performing operation determination process M and control signal corresponding process TA in FIG. 19 described above.

  Then, it is assumed that the character string request data A as the character string request instruction A is transmitted to the mobile terminal device 500 by the processes of steps S241 and S242A of the character input process TA in FIG.

  In step S211A of the character input process MA, it is assumed that the character string request data A as the character string request instruction A has been received, and the process proceeds to step S212. Then, the processes in steps S212 and S213 are performed as described above.

  Then, the process of step S214A is performed, and after the process of step S215A or step S218A is performed, the process proceeds to step S221.

  In step S221, the same processing as that described in the first embodiment is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. It is assumed that the character input image N in which the character string “A ...” is not displayed in the character input image MG300 of FIG.

  In step S221A, processing similar to that described above is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. Here, it is assumed that the input frame data A included in the received character string request data A is the input frame data TD200A of FIG. Further, it is assumed that the character string data table MD400A of FIG. 23 is stored in the storage unit 620.

  In this case, the designated character string is the input character string “taro” associated with the character string type (label “NAME-MEI-KANA”) indicated by the input frame data TD200A in the character string data table MD400A. In this case, YES is determined in step S221A, and the process proceeds to step S221AB.

  In step S221AB, an input character string display process MA is performed. In the input character string display process MA, the control unit 510 uses the VDP 532 to display an input character string as a designated character string in the character input area MR320 displayed on the display unit 530. When the designated character string is, for example, the input character string “taro”, the input character string “taro” is displayed in the character input area MR320.

  In step S222, when a character confirmation operation is performed, the input character string as the designated character string displayed in the character input area MR320 becomes a confirmed character string. In the process of step S222, the input character string as the designated character string displayed in the character input area MR320 is edited by the user pressing the direction buttons 541C and 541D, the effective character button, or the like as necessary. You can also. In this case, the edited character string becomes a confirmed character string.

  In step S223AB, the same processing as described above is performed, and thus detailed description will not be repeated.

  Then, the process of step S224A is performed. Depending on the determination result of step S224A, the process of step S225A is also performed.

  In step S226A, the same processing as described above is performed, and thus detailed description will not be repeated. Here, it is assumed that input box character data indicating a confirmed character string (input character string) as a designated character string is transmitted to data processing device 600 specified by device ID “11TA”. Assume that the input box character data to be transmitted is the input box character data MD300 of FIG.

In the character input process TA, the process of step S251 is performed.
In steps S251, S252, S253, S254, and S255, the same processing as that described in the first embodiment is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. With these processes, for example, a confirmed character string (input character string) is displayed as a designated character string in the character input box IW224 in the input enabled state indicated by the Web page image G200 of FIG.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the character input frame displayed on the display unit 630 of the data processing device 600 is ready for input, the type of character string (character) that is requested to be input to the character input frame. Column type) is transmitted to the mobile terminal device 500.

  In the mobile terminal device 500, the character string data in which the character string type indicated by the input frame data A included in the received character string request data A is associated with the confirmed character string input in the mobile terminal device 500 is stored in the storage unit. 520 stores it.

  In portable terminal device 500, it is determined whether or not a character string of the character string type (designated character string) indicated by input box data A included in received character string request data A is stored in storage unit 520. The When the designated character string is stored in the storage unit 520, the designated character string is displayed on the display unit 530. When a character confirmation operation is performed by the user, input box character data indicating a confirmed character string (input character string) as a designated character string is transmitted to the data processing device 600.

  Therefore, if the character string type character string indicated by the input frame data A included in the received character string request data A has been input even once in the mobile terminal device 500, the user can input the character string. A character string of a type that requires input can be input to the input enabled character input box displayed on the data processing apparatus 600 without any operation.

  As a result, there is an effect that it is possible to easily input a character string of a type that is required to be input in the input enabled character input frame.

  In addition, if a character string of the character string type indicated by the input frame data A included in the received character string request data A has been input even once in the mobile terminal device 500, the character of the character string type A column (designated character string) is displayed on the display unit 530. Then, the user can edit the displayed character string as necessary.

  Further, in the present embodiment, since the processing described in the first embodiment is also performed, the effect of the first embodiment is also achieved. In other words, there is an effect that it is possible to easily input a character of a type permitted to be input in the character input frame in the input enabled state. In addition, even when characters of a type permitted to be input in the character input frame in the input enabled state cannot be directly input in the mobile terminal device 500, characters of a type permitted to be input are input to the character input frame in the input enabled state. There is an effect that can be done. In addition, there is an effect that it is possible to prevent a character from being input to a character input frame that is not an input target of the received character.

<Third Embodiment>
Next, processing when a character string is input in the data processing device 600 will be described.

  Since the network system in the present embodiment is similar to network system 1000 in the first embodiment, detailed description will not be repeated. Since the configurations of mobile terminal device 500 and data processing device 600 are the same as those described in the first embodiment, detailed description will not be repeated.

  In the present embodiment, it is assumed that operation determination processing M is performed in mobile terminal device 500 when mobile terminal device 500 is in the RC mode. The operation determination process M is a process performed independently of other processes. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that data processing device 600 performs the following control signal handling process TB independently of other processes.

  Here, it is assumed that control image MG100A in FIG. 7 is displayed on display unit 530 of portable terminal device 500. That is, it is assumed that the state of portable terminal device 500 is state MA. In the state MA, it is assumed that the following Web page image G200A is displayed on the display unit 630 of the data processing device 600 by operating the direction buttons 541A, 541B, 541C, 541D, the determination button 541E, and the like.

  FIG. 24 is a diagram showing a web page image G200A as an example. Referring to FIG. 24, the Web page image G200A is compared with the Web page image G200 of FIG. A difference is that a character string is input (displayed) to each of IW264, IW266, IW272, and IW282. Other than that, it is the same as Web page image G200, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated.

  Here, as described in the first embodiment, the control unit 610 of the data processing device 600 acquires the input frame correspondence information, and uses the acquired input frame correspondence information to input the input frame data table. And the generated input frame data table is stored in the storage unit 620. When the Web page image G200A is displayed on the display unit 630, the generated input frame data table is the input frame data table TD100 in FIG. In this case, it is assumed that the input unit data table TD100 is stored in the storage unit 620.

  Further, when a plurality of character input frames are displayed on the display unit 630, one or more character input frames (hereinafter also referred to as input frames) in which character strings are input among the plurality of character input frames. In each case, it is assumed that a character string input to each input frame (hereinafter also referred to as an input character string) is stored in the storage unit 620 in association with the corresponding input frame. The process of storing the input character string is performed, for example, by the process of step S225 of FIG. 12 described in the first embodiment.

  Here, it is assumed that Web page image G200A is displayed on display unit 630. In this case, it is assumed that the storage unit 620 stores the following input character string data table TD500.

  FIG. 25 is a diagram showing an input character string data table TD500 as an example. Referring to FIG. 25, in input character string data table TD500, “input box ID” is the same as “input box ID” in input box data table TD100 in FIG. 9, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. The “inputted character string” is a character string that has been input to the character input box specified by the corresponding input box ID.

  FIG. 26 is a flowchart of the operation determination process M and the control signal handling process TB. In FIG. 26, the process with the same step number as in FIG. 11 is performed in the same way as the process described in FIG. In the following, processing different from the processing in FIG. 11 will be mainly described.

  Referring to FIG. 26, operation determination process M is similar to operation determination process M of FIG. 11 described in the first embodiment, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. The control signal handling process TB is different from the control signal handling process T of FIG. 11 in that step S145B is performed instead of step S145. Other than that, it is the same as the control signal handling process T, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated.

  Here, it is assumed that an ENTER-RC signal as a control signal including the device ID “11MA” is transmitted from the mobile terminal device 500 to the data processing device 600. In addition, on the display unit 630 of the data processing device 600, it is assumed that a Web page image in which the position of the selection frame SL205 is positioned to surround the character input frame IW224 in the Web page image G200A of FIG. . That is, it is assumed that the character input frame IW224 is in a selected state.

  In this case, YES is determined in step S144B of the control signal handling process TB, and the process proceeds to step S144C.

  In step S144C, a process similar to that described in the first embodiment is performed, and thus detailed description will not be repeated. Then, the process proceeds to step S145B.

  In step S145B, a character input process TB is performed. Character input process TB is a process performed when the character input frame displayed on display unit 630 is in an input enabled state. The character input frame in the input enabled state is an input frame set in the input enabled state. In portable terminal device 500, it is assumed that the following character input process MB is performed independently of other processes.

  FIG. 27 is a flowchart of the character input process MB and the character input process TB. In FIG. 27, the process with the same step number as in FIG. 12 is performed in the same way as the process described with reference to FIG. In the following, processing different from the processing in FIG. 12 will be mainly described.

  In step S241, processing similar to that described in the first embodiment is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. If YES in step S241, the process proceeds to step S242B. On the other hand, if NO at step S241, the process proceeds to step S261.

  In step S242B, control unit 610 uses communication unit 660 to transmit character string request data B as character string request instruction B, which is an instruction for requesting a character string, to portable terminal device 500. The character string request data B to be transmitted includes the device ID “11TA” of the own device and the input frame data B. The input frame data B is input to an input frame ID that identifies a character input frame in an input enabled state, input frame correspondence information corresponding to the input frame ID in the input frame data table, and a character input frame in an input enabled state. Character string and the data amount of the character string. When the character string request data B as the character string request instruction B is transmitted, the process of step S242B ends.

  In addition, when it determines with NO in step S252 or step S253 of FIG. 27 mentioned later, and the process of step S242B is performed again, in step S242B, the control part 610 is the apparatus ID and input frame data B of an own apparatus. In addition, the character string request data B including the error message is transmitted to the mobile terminal device 500. The error message is, for example, a message “An error has occurred. Please try again.”

  Here, the display unit 630 displays a Web page image in which the position of the selection frame SL205 in the Web page image G200A of FIG. 24 surrounds the character input frame IW224, and the character input frame IW224 is displayed. Assume that input is possible. Further, it is assumed that the input frame data table used in the process of step S242B is the input frame data table TD100 in FIG. In this case, the input box data B included in the character string request data B is the following input box data TD200B. Hereinafter, the character string input in the character input box is also referred to as an input character string.

  FIG. 28 is a diagram showing input frame data TD200B as an example. Referring to FIG. 28, input frame data TD200B is different from input frame data TD200 of FIG. 13 in that items of “input character string” and “data amount” are added. Other than that, since it is the same as the input frame data TD200, detailed description will not be repeated. The “inputted character string” is a character string that has been input into the input enabled character input box. The “data amount” is the data amount of “input character string”.

  If there is no character string input in the input enabled character input box, no character string is displayed in the “input character string” item. When there is no character string input in the input enabled character input box, the “data amount” item is “0”.

  Referring to FIG. 27 again, in the character input process MB, first, the process of step S211B is performed.

  In step S211B, control unit 510 determines whether or not character string request data B as character string request instruction B has been received. If YES in step S211B, the process proceeds to step S212. On the other hand, if NO at step S211B, the process at step S211B is performed again. Here, assuming that the character string request data B as the character string request instruction B is received, the process proceeds to step S212.

  When the received character string request data B includes an error message, control unit 510 causes display unit 530 to display the error message for a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds). Then, the process proceeds to step S212.

  In step S212, the same processing as that described in the first embodiment is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. With this process, the operation mode of the mobile terminal device 500 is changed from the RC mode to the normal mode.

  In step S213, the same processing as that described in the first embodiment is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated.

  In step S214B, the same processing as the processing in which the character string request data and the input box data are replaced with the character string request data B and the input box data B in the description of the process of step S214 in FIG. The explanation is not repeated. If YES in step S214B, the process proceeds to step S215B. On the other hand, if NO at step S214B, the process proceeds to step S218B.

  In step S215B, a character input mode setting process MB is performed. In the character input mode setting process MB, in the description of the process in step S215 in FIG. Detailed description will not be repeated because it is performed.

  In step S218B, a character input mode setting process MNB is performed. In the character input mode setting process MNB, in the description of the process in step S218 of FIG. 12, the same process as the process in which the character string request data and the input box data are replaced with the character string request data B and the input box data B, respectively. Detailed description will not be repeated because it is performed.

  In step S221, the same processing as that described in the first embodiment is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. It is assumed that the character input image N in which the character string “A ...” is not displayed in the character input image MG300 of FIG. Then, the process proceeds to step S221B.

  In step S221B, it is determined whether there is an input character string. Specifically, control unit 510 determines whether or not input box data B included in received character string request data B indicates an input character string. If YES at step S221B, the process proceeds to step S221BC. On the other hand, if NO at step S221B, the process proceeds to step S222. Here, it is assumed that the input frame data B included in the received character string request data B is the input frame data TD200B of FIG. In this case, since the input frame data TD200B indicates the input character string “taro”, the process proceeds to step S221BC.

  In step S221BC, an input character string display process MB is performed. In the input character string display process MB, the control unit 510 uses the VDP 532 to display the input character string in the character input area MR320 displayed on the display unit 530. For example, when the input character string is “taro”, the input character string “taro” is displayed in the character input area MR320.

  In step S222, the same processing as that described in the first embodiment is performed, and thus detailed description will not be repeated. Here, it is assumed that an editing operation for editing an input character string is performed in a state where the input character string “Taro” is displayed in character input region MR320. The editing operation is a pressing operation of the direction buttons 541C and 541D, the effective character button (for example, the character button CLB), and the like. It is assumed that the input character string “Taro” is changed to the character string “Kotarou” by this editing operation. Assume that a character confirmation operation is performed. In this case, the character string “Kotarou” becomes the confirmed character string. Then, the process proceeds to step S223B.

  In step S223B, the same processing as the processing in which the character string request data and the input box data are replaced with the character string request data B and the input box data B, respectively, in the description of the processing of step S223 in FIG. The explanation is not repeated. Then, the process proceeds to step S224B.

  In step S224B, control unit 510 determines whether character input mode setting process MNB has been performed. That is, whether the permitted character type indicated by the input frame data B included in the received character string request data B is not the input permitted character type M but the input non-permitted character type M, and has the character input mode setting process MNB been performed? It is determined whether or not. If YES at step S224B, the process proceeds to step S225B. On the other hand, if NO at step S224B, the process proceeds to step S226B.

  In step S225B, a character conversion process MB is performed. In the character conversion process MB, in the description of the process in step S225 of FIG. 12, the character input mode setting process MN, the character string request data, and the input frame data are respectively converted into the character input mode setting process MNB, the character string request data B, and the input. Since the same processing as the processing replaced with frame data B is performed, detailed description will not be repeated.

  In step S226B, a character string transmission process MB is performed. In the character string transmission process MB, a process similar to the process in which the character string request data and the input box data are replaced with the character string request data B and the input box data B in the description of the process in step S226 of FIG. Detailed description will not be repeated. Here, as an example, it is assumed that the following input box character data MD300A is transmitted to the data processing device 600 specified by the device ID “11TA”. Then, the process of step S226B ends.

  FIG. 29 is a diagram showing input box character data MD300A as an example. Referring to FIG. 29, each item of input box character data MD300A is the same as each item of input box character data MD300 in FIG. 15, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated.

  Referring to FIG. 27 again, in character input process TB, the process of step S251 is performed.

  In steps S251, S252, S253, S254, and S255, the same processing as that described in the first embodiment is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated.

  In the character input process TB, if NO is determined in step S252 or step S253, the process of step S242B is performed. By these processes, for example, the character string “Taro” displayed in the character input frame IW224 of the Web page image G200A in FIG. 24 is changed to the character string “Kotarou”.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the character input frame displayed on the display unit 630 of the data processing device 600 is in the input enabled state, and the character string is input to the character input frame in the input enabled state. If it is, the input character string input in the input enabled character input frame is transmitted to the mobile terminal device 500.

  In the mobile terminal device 500, the input character string is displayed on the display unit 530. When the user performs an editing operation for editing the input character string, the edited character string (hereinafter also referred to as an edited character string) is transmitted to the data processing device 600.

  In the data processing device 600, the input character string displayed in the input enabled character input box is changed to the received edit character string.

  Therefore, the user can edit the input character string by operating the mobile terminal device 500 while viewing the input character string displayed on the display unit 530 of the mobile terminal device 500. As a result, there is an effect that it is possible to efficiently edit the input character string input in the character input frame.

  Further, in the present embodiment, since the processing described in the first embodiment is also performed, the effect of the first embodiment is also achieved. In other words, there is an effect that it is possible to easily input a character of a type permitted to be input in the character input frame in the input enabled state. In addition, even when characters of a type permitted to be input in the character input frame in the input enabled state cannot be directly input in the mobile terminal device 500, characters of a type permitted to be input are input to the character input frame in the input enabled state. There is an effect that can be done. In addition, there is an effect that it is possible to prevent a character from being input to a character input frame that is not an input target of the received character.

<Fourth embodiment>
Next, processing for assisting the data processing device 600 in inputting a character string performed in the mobile terminal device 500 will be described.

  Since the network system in the present embodiment is similar to network system 1000 in the first embodiment, detailed description will not be repeated. Since the configurations of mobile terminal device 500 and data processing device 600 are the same as those described in the first embodiment, detailed description will not be repeated.

  In the present embodiment, it is assumed that operation determination processing M is performed in mobile terminal device 500 when mobile terminal device 500 is in the RC mode. The operation determination process M is a process performed independently of other processes. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that data processing device 600 performs the following control signal handling process TC independently of other processes.

  Here, it is assumed that control image MG100A in FIG. 7 is displayed on display unit 530 of portable terminal device 500. That is, it is assumed that the state of portable terminal device 500 is state MA. In the state MA, it is assumed that the Web page image G200 of FIG. 8 is displayed on the display unit 630 of the data processing device 600 by operating the direction buttons 541A, 541B, 541C, 541D, the determination button 541E, and the like.

  Here, as described in the first embodiment, the control unit 610 of the data processing device 600 acquires the input frame correspondence information, and uses the acquired input frame correspondence information to input the input frame data table. And the generated input frame data table is stored in the storage unit 620. When the Web page image G200 is displayed on the display unit 630, the generated input frame data table is the input frame data table TD100 in FIG. In this case, it is assumed that the input unit data table TD100 is stored in the storage unit 620.

  FIG. 30 is a flowchart of the operation determination process M and the control signal handling process TC. In FIG. 30, the process with the same step number as in FIG. 11 is performed in the same way as the process described in FIG. In the following, processing different from the processing in FIG. 11 will be mainly described.

  Referring to FIG. 30, operation determination process M is similar to operation determination process M of FIG. 11 described in the first embodiment, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. The control signal handling process TC differs from the control signal handling process T in FIG. 11 in that step S145C is performed instead of step S145. Other than that, it is the same as the control signal handling process T, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated.

  Here, it is assumed that an ENTER-RC signal as a control signal including the device ID “11MA” is transmitted from the mobile terminal device 500 to the data processing device 600. In addition, on the display unit 630 of the data processing device 600, it is assumed that a Web page image in which the position of the selection frame SL205 is positioned to surround the character input frame IW224 in the Web page image G200 of FIG. . That is, it is assumed that the character input frame IW224 is in a selected state.

  In this case, YES is determined in step S144B of the control signal handling process TC, and the process proceeds to step S144C.

  In step S144C, a process similar to that described in the first embodiment is performed, and thus detailed description will not be repeated. Then, the process proceeds to step S145C.

  In step S145C, a character input process TC is performed. Character input process TC is a process performed when the character input frame displayed on display unit 630 is in an input enabled state. The character input frame in the input enabled state is an input frame set in the input enabled state. In portable terminal device 500, it is assumed that the following character input process MC is performed independently of other processes.

  FIG. 31 is a flowchart of the character input process MC and the character input process TC. In FIG. 31, the processing with the same step number as in FIG. 12 is performed in the same manner as the processing described in FIG. 12, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. In the following, processing different from the processing in FIG. 12 will be mainly described.

  In step S241, processing similar to that described in the first embodiment is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. If YES in step S241, the process proceeds to step S242. On the other hand, if NO at step S241, the process proceeds to step S261.

  In step S242, a process similar to the process described in the first embodiment is performed, and thus detailed description will not be repeated. By this processing, character string request data as a character string request instruction is transmitted. The character string request data to be transmitted includes the device ID “11TA” of the device itself and the input frame data. When the character string request data as the character string request instruction is transmitted, the process of step S242 ends.

  Here, the display unit 630 displays a Web page image in which the position of the selection frame SL205 in the Web page image G200 of FIG. 8 surrounds the character input frame IW224, and the character input frame IW224 is displayed. Assume that input is possible. Further, it is assumed that the input frame data table used in the process of step S242 is the input frame data table TD100 of FIG. In this case, the input frame data included in the character string request data is the input frame data TD200 in FIG.

In the character input process MC, first, the process of step S211 is performed.
In step S211, a process similar to the process described in the first embodiment is performed, and thus detailed description will not be repeated. Here, assuming that character string request data as a character string request instruction has been received, the process proceeds to step S212.

  In step S212, the same processing as that described in the first embodiment is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. With this process, the operation mode of the mobile terminal device 500 is changed from the RC mode to the normal mode.

  In step S213, the same processing as that described in the first embodiment is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated.

  In step S214, the same processing as that described in the first embodiment is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated.

  In step S215, the same processing as that described in the first embodiment is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated.

  In step S218, the same processing as that described in the first embodiment is performed, and thus detailed description will not be repeated.

  In step S221, the same processing as that described in the first embodiment is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. It is assumed that the character input image N in which the character string “A ...” is not displayed in the character input image MG300 of FIG. Then, the process proceeds to step S221C.

  In step S221C, control unit 510 determines whether there is a character input operation M or not. The character input operation M is an operation of pressing an effective character button for inputting characters. If YES in step S221C, the process proceeds to step S221CD. On the other hand, if NO at step S221C, the process proceeds to step S221CE described later.

  Here, it is assumed that the set character input mode is a Kanji-Hiragana input mode. Further, it is assumed that there is a character input operation M for pressing the character button 4B of FIG. 3 as an effective character button. In this case, the character input operation M is an operation for inputting “TA” of hiragana. In this case, YES is determined in step S221C, and the process proceeds to step S221CD.

  In step S221CD, an input character display process MC is performed. In the input character display process MC, the control unit 510 displays the character input by the character input operation M in the character input area MR320 displayed on the display unit 530 using the VDP 532.

  Here, it is assumed that the storage unit 520 stores a counter K. The counter K is assumed to be a counter for counting numerical values. It is assumed that the initial value of the counter K is “1”.

  In the input character display processing MC, when characters are displayed in the character input area MR320 and the number of characters displayed in the character input area MR320 is less than the value indicated by the counter K, the character input is performed. In addition to the characters displayed in region MR320, the characters input by character input operation M are displayed.

  When the number of characters indicated by the counter K is displayed in the character input area MR320, the character input by the character input operation M is displayed in the character input area MR320 instead of the most recently displayed character. To do. Then, the process proceeds to step S221CE.

  In step S221CE, control unit 510 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the first character input operation M was performed. The predetermined time is, for example, 3 seconds. It is assumed that the character input operation M performed after the process of step S232C described later is also the first character input operation M.

  If YES at step S221CE, the process proceeds to step S224. On the other hand, if NO at step S221CE, the process at step S221C is performed again. If the first character input operation M is not performed, it is determined as NO and the process of step S221C is performed again. Here, assuming that a predetermined time has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S224.

  If the predetermined time has not elapsed or the first character input operation M has not been performed, the process of step S221C is performed again. If there is a character input operation M, the process of step S221CD is performed. Is done. That is, the latest character displayed in the character input area MR320 changes each time the valid character button is pressed within a predetermined time. Hereinafter, the character displayed in the character input area MR320 when it is determined as YES in step S221CE is also referred to as a confirmed character.

  In step S224, the same processing as that described in the first embodiment is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. If YES in step S224, the process proceeds to step S225C. On the other hand, if NO at step S224, the process proceeds to step S226C.

  In step S225C, a character conversion process MC is performed as in step S225 of FIG. In the character conversion process MC, the control unit 510 permits the character (determined character) input in the character input mode set by the character input mode setting process MN to be indicated by the input box data included in the received character string request data. Convert to character type character.

  In step S226C, a character transmission process MC is performed. In the character transmission process MC, the control unit 510 uses the communication unit 560 to transmit the input character data to the device specified by the device ID included in the received character string request data. Here, the input character data is data indicating the input box ID indicated by the input box data C included in the received character string request data C and the confirmed character.

  Here, it is assumed that the input frame data included in the received character string request data is the input frame data TD200 of FIG. Further, it is assumed that the confirmed character is “ta”. Further, it is assumed that the device ID included in the character string request data is “11TA”. In this case, the input character data is the following input character data MD600. Further, the input box character data MD600 is transmitted to the data processing device 600 specified by the device ID “11TA”. Then, the process of step S226C ends.

  FIG. 32 is a diagram showing input character data MD600 as an example. Referring to FIG. 32, input character data MD600 is different from input box character data MD300 in FIG. 15 in that “input character” is displayed instead of “input character string”. Other than that, it is the same as the input box character data MD300, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. In the input character data MD600, “input character” is a character input by the character input operation M.

  Referring to FIG. 31 again, in the character input process TC, the process proceeds to step S251C after the process in step S242.

  In step S251C, control unit 610 determines whether or not input character data has been received. If YES in step S251C, the process proceeds to step S252C. On the other hand, if NO at step S251C, the process at step S251C is performed again. Here, assuming that the input character data MD600 of FIG. 32 has been received, the process proceeds to step S252C.

  In step S252C, it is determined whether or not the input character indicated by the received input character data is a character to be input to the character input frame in the input enabled state. Specifically, control unit 610 determines whether or not the input frame ID indicated by the received input character data matches the input frame ID indicated by the input frame data included in the character string request data transmitted to portable terminal device 500. Is determined. If YES in step S252C, the process proceeds to step S253C. On the other hand, if NO at step S252C, the process at step S242 is performed again.

  Here, it is assumed that the received input character data is input character data MD600. Further, it is assumed that the input frame data included in the character string request data transmitted to the mobile terminal device 500 is the input frame data TD200 in FIG. In this case, YES is determined in step S252C, and the process proceeds to step S253C.

  In step S253C, control unit 610 determines whether or not the type of input character indicated by the received input character data matches the permitted character type indicated by the input box data included in the transmitted character string request data. If YES in step S253C, the process proceeds to step S254C. On the other hand, if NO at step S253C, the process at step S242 is performed again.

  Here, it is assumed that the received input character data is input character data MD600. Further, it is assumed that the type of input character indicated by the received input character data is hiragana. In this case, YES is determined in step S253C, and the process proceeds to step S254C.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the control unit 610 of the data processing device 600 uses a character string input to the data processing device 600 from the mobile terminal device 500, the wireless keyboard 400, etc. as a predetermined character string. Up to the storage unit 620. The predetermined number is assumed to be 300, for example. When the number of selection character strings stored in the storage unit 620 is a predetermined number and the new selection character string is stored, the control unit 610 stores the oldest selection stored in the storage unit 620. The character string for use is deleted, and a new character string for selection is stored in the storage unit 620. The selection character string to be deleted is not limited to the selection character string under the above conditions. For example, when the number of selection character strings stored in the storage unit 620 is a predetermined number and the control unit 610 stores a new selection character string, the control unit 610 is the most stored in the storage unit 620. You may delete the character string for selection with a low use frequency.

  Note that some or all of the plurality of selection character strings stored in the storage unit 620 are not limited to the character strings input in the data processing device 600. Some or all of the plurality of selection character strings stored in the storage unit 620 may be, for example, character strings obtained from an external server device via the Internet.

  In step S254C, it is determined whether there is a selection candidate character string. That is, a selection candidate character string is searched. The selection candidate character string is a character string that includes only the characters of the permitted character type indicated by the input box data included in the input character string request data including the input character indicated by the received input character data in the first character. . The selection candidate character string may be a character string in which some characters of the selection candidate character string are characters of the permitted character type indicated by the input box data included in the transmitted character string request data.

  Specifically, control unit 610 determines whether there is a selection candidate character string among a plurality of selection character strings stored in storage unit 620. If YES in step S254C, the process proceeds to step S255C. On the other hand, if NO in step S254C, control unit 610 causes error message C to be displayed on display unit 630 for a predetermined time, and the process of step S242 is performed again. The error message C is, for example, a message “There is no character string including the input character”. The predetermined time is, for example, 3 seconds.

  Here, it is assumed that the received input character data is input character data MD600. In addition, it is assumed that the storage unit 620 stores a plurality of selection candidate character strings including the input character “TA” indicated by the input character data MD600 as the first character. In this case, YES is determined in step S254C, and the process proceeds to step S255C. In this case, a plurality of selection candidate character strings that include the input character “TA” as the first character stored in the storage unit 620 are character strings searched by the control unit 610.

  In step S255C, candidate data transmission processing T is performed. In the candidate data transmission process T, the control unit 610 transmits candidate data to the mobile terminal device 500 using the communication unit 660. Here, it is assumed that the candidate data is data indicating one or more selection candidate character strings (hereinafter also referred to as a selection candidate character data table). Here, it is assumed that the selection candidate character data table as candidate data to be transmitted is the following selection candidate character data table TD700. Then, the process of step S255C ends.

  FIG. 33 is a diagram showing a selection candidate character data table TD700 as an example. Selection candidate character data table TD700 includes a plurality of selection candidate character data. Referring to FIG. 33, each of the plurality of selection candidate character data indicates “character string number” and “selection candidate character string”.

  Since “selection candidate character string” has been described above, detailed description thereof will not be repeated. The “character string number” is a number for specifying the corresponding “selection candidate character string”.

  Referring to FIG. 31 again, in the character input process MC, the process proceeds to step S231C after the process in step S226C.

  In step S231C, control unit 510 determines whether candidate data has been received. If YES in step S231C, the process proceeds to step S232C. On the other hand, if NO at step S231C, the process at step S231C is performed again. Here, assuming that selection candidate character data table TD700 as candidate data is received, the process proceeds to step S232C.

  In step S232C, a selection candidate character string display process M is performed. In the selection candidate character string display process M, the control unit 510 causes the display unit 530 to display the selection candidate character string shown in the selection candidate character data table as the received candidate data using the VDP 532. Here, it is assumed that the selection candidate character data table as the received candidate data is the selection candidate character data table TD700 of FIG. In this case, it is assumed that the following character input image MG300A is displayed on display unit 530. Then, the process of step S232C ends.

  FIG. 34 is a diagram showing a character input image MG300A as an example. Referring to FIG. 34, character input image MG300A is different from character input image MG300 in FIG. 14 in that selection candidate character string display region MR330 is further provided. Other than that, it is the same as character input image MG300, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated.

  In the character input image MG300A, the selection candidate character string shown in the selection candidate character data table TD700 as candidate data is displayed in the selection candidate character string display area MR330. The number displayed on the left side of the selection candidate character string is a character string number for identifying the selection candidate character string in the selection candidate character data table TD700.

  Referring to FIG. 31 again, in selection candidate character string display processing M, control unit 510 uses function button 542A as a button for setting portable terminal device 500 to a character string selection mode (hereinafter, a selection mode setting button). (Also called). In this case, when function button 542A set as the selection mode setting button is pressed, control unit 510 sets portable terminal device 500 to the character string selection mode. The character string selection mode is a mode for selecting a selection candidate character string. During the period in which the mobile terminal device 500 is in the character string selection mode, each of the character buttons 1B, 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B, 6B, 7B, 8B, 9B, and 0B is used regardless of the set character input mode. It becomes a button for inputting a corresponding number shown in FIG. Then, the process proceeds to step S233C.

  In step S233C, control unit 510 determines whether there is selection operation M or not. The selection operation M is an operation including an operation of pressing the function button 542A set as the selection mode setting button and a numeric input operation M. When function button 542A set as the selection mode setting button is pressed, control unit 510 sets portable terminal device 500 to the character string selection mode. The number input operation M is an operation of pressing a button for inputting numbers during the period when the mobile terminal device 500 is set to the character string selection mode. The buttons for inputting the numbers are the character buttons 1B, 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B, 6B, 7B, 8B, 9B, and 0B during the period in which the mobile terminal device 500 is set to the character string selection mode. .

  If YES in step S233C, control unit 510 sets the value of counter K to “1”, and proceeds to step S234C. On the other hand, if NO at step S233C, the process proceeds to step S233CD described later. Here, assuming that there is a selection operation M, control unit 510 sets the value of counter K to “1”, and the process proceeds to step S234C. The selection operation M that has been performed includes an operation of pressing the function button 542A set as the selection mode setting button and an operation of inputting the number “4” while the mobile terminal device 500 is in the character string selection mode. Suppose that

  In step S234C, a selection data transmission process M is performed. In selection data transmission processing M, control unit 510 uses communication unit 560 to transmit selection data to a device specified by the device ID included in the received character string request data. Control unit 510 uses VDP 532 to select candidate character string display region MR330 displayed on display unit 530, and the character string number and selection candidate character string displayed in selection candidate character string display region MR330. Erase. Control unit 510 cancels the setting of the character string selection mode in portable terminal device 500.

  Here, the selection data is data indicating the number input by the selection operation M. Here, it is assumed that the number input by the selection operation M is “4”. Further, it is assumed that the device ID included in the character string request data is “11TA”. In this case, the selection data is the following selection data MD800. The selection data MD800 is transmitted to the data processing device 600 specified by the device ID “11TA”. Then, the process of step S234C ends.

  FIG. 35 is a diagram showing selection data MD800 as an example. Referring to FIG. 35, in selection data MD800, “input box ID” is an input box ID indicated by input box data included in the received character string request data. The “selection number” is a number input by the selection operation M.

  Referring to FIG. 31 again, in the character input process TC, the process proceeds to step S256C after the process of step S255C.

  In step S256C, control unit 610 determines whether selection data has been received. If YES in step S256C, the process proceeds to step S257C. On the other hand, if NO at step S256C, the process at step S256C is performed again. Here, assuming that selection data MD800 of FIG. 35 has been received, the process proceeds to step S257C.

  In step S257C, it is determined whether or not the selection candidate character string specified by the same character string number as the selection number indicated by the received selection data is a character string to be input to the input enabled character input box. . Specifically, whether or not the input frame ID indicated by the received selection data matches the input frame ID indicated by the input frame data included in the character string request data transmitted to the mobile terminal device 500 is determined by the control unit 610. Is determined. If YES in step S257C, the process proceeds to step S258C. On the other hand, if NO at step S257C, the process at step S242 is performed again.

  Here, it is assumed that the received selection data is selection data MD800. Further, it is assumed that the input frame data included in the character string request data transmitted to the mobile terminal device 500 is the input frame data TD200 in FIG. In this case, YES is determined in step S257C, and the process proceeds to step S258C.

  In step S258C, a character string display process TC is performed. In the character string display process TC, the control unit 610 uses the VDP 632, and among the plurality of character string numbers indicated by the candidate data transmitted to the mobile terminal device 500, the same character string number as the selection number indicated by the received selection data The selection candidate character string specified by is displayed in a character input frame in an input enabled state. In addition, the control unit 610 causes the storage unit 620 to store the selection candidate character string displayed in the character input frame in association with the character input frame in the input enabled state.

  Here, it is assumed that the display unit 630 displays a Web page image in which the position of the selection frame SL205 is the position surrounding the character input frame IW224 in the Web page image G200 of FIG. That is, it is assumed that the character input frame in the input enabled state is the character input frame IW224. Further, it is assumed that the received selection data is selection data MD800. That is, the selection number is “4”. Further, it is assumed that the candidate data transmitted to the mobile terminal device 500 is the selection candidate character data table TD700 of FIG.

  In this case, the character string “Taro” is displayed in the character input frame IW224 by the character string display processing TC. That is, a character is input to the character input frame in the input enabled state. The storage unit 620 stores the character string “taro” in association with the input frame ID “TX04” for specifying the character input frame IW224.

  Then, the character input process TC ends, the process returns to the control signal corresponding process TC of FIG. 30, and the process of step S141 is performed again.

In the character input process MC, the process proceeds to step S235C after the process of step S234C.
In step S235C, an RC mode setting process M is performed. Since RC mode setting process M is the same as RC mode setting process M in step S231 of FIG. 12, detailed description will not be repeated. Then, the process of step S211 is performed again.

  Next, a process when it is determined NO in step S233C will be described. If NO in step S233C, the process proceeds to step S233CD.

  In step S233CD, the same processing as that in step S221C is performed, and thus detailed description will not be repeated. If YES in step S233CD, control unit 510 increments the value of counter K by 1, and the process of step S221CD is performed again. If NO in step S233CD, the process of step S233C is performed again.

  Here, assuming that character input operation M has been performed, control unit 510 increments the value of counter K by 1, and the process of step S221CD is performed again. Here, it is assumed that the performed character input operation M is an operation of pressing the character button 9B of FIG. 3 as an effective character button. In this case, the character input operation M is an operation for inputting “ra” of hiragana. Also, it is assumed that the value indicated by the counter K is “2” by this processing. In this case, two characters can be displayed in the character input area MR320.

  In step S221CD, the same processing as described above is performed, and thus detailed description will not be repeated. Here, it is assumed that hiragana “ta” is displayed in the character input area MR320 displayed on the display unit 530. In this case, it is assumed that “Tara” of hiragana is displayed in the character input area MR320.

  In step S221CE, the same processing as described above is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. Here, it is assumed that the first character input operation M when control unit 510 determines that the predetermined time has elapsed is character input operation M performed after the process of step S232C. Here, it is assumed that the predetermined time has not elapsed, and the process of step S221C is performed again.

  Then, it is assumed that the character input operation M for depressing the character button 9B of FIG. 3 as an effective character button is performed a plurality of times, and the processes of steps S221C and S221CD are performed a plurality of times. By these processes, it is assumed that “Taro” of Hiragana is displayed in the character input area MR320 by changing “La” which is the latest character of “Tara” of Hiragana.

  Then, it is assumed that YES is determined in the step S221CE and the process proceeds to the step S224. Here, it is assumed that the fixed character is “Taro” of Hiragana.

  In step S224, the same processing as that described in the first embodiment is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated.

  In step S225C, the same processing as described above is performed, and thus detailed description will not be repeated.

  In step S226C, the same processing as described above is performed, and thus detailed description will not be repeated. By this processing, it is assumed that the following input character data MD600A is transmitted to the data processing device 600 specified by the device ID “11TA”.

  FIG. 36 is a diagram showing input character data MD600A as an example. Referring to FIG. 36, each item of input character data MD600A is the same as each item of input character data MD600 in FIG. 32, and thus detailed description will not be repeated.

  Referring to FIG. 31 again, in character input process TC, the same process as described above is performed in step S251C, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. Here, assuming that input character data MD600A has been received, the process proceeds to step S252C.

  In step S252C, processing similar to that described above is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated.

  In step S253C, processing similar to that described above is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated.

  In step S254C, processing similar to that described above is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. Here, it is assumed that the received input character data is input character data MD600A. Further, it is assumed that the storage unit 620 stores a plurality of selection candidate character strings including the input character “taro” indicated by the input character data MD600A as the first character. In this case, YES is determined in step S254C, and the process proceeds to step S255C. In this case, a plurality of selection candidate character strings that include the input character “Taro” as the first character stored in the storage unit 620 are character strings searched by the control unit 610.

  In step S255C, the same processing as described above is performed, and thus detailed description will not be repeated. It is assumed that the following selection candidate character data table TD700A as candidate data is transmitted to the mobile terminal device 500 by this processing.

  FIG. 37 is a diagram showing a selection candidate character data table TD700A as an example. Referring to FIG. 37, each item in selection candidate character data table TD700A is the same as each item in selection candidate character data table TD700 in FIG. 33, so detailed description will not be repeated.

  Referring again to FIG. 31, in character input process MC, the process of step S231C is performed.

  In step S231C, the same processing as described above is performed, and thus detailed description will not be repeated. Here, assuming that selection candidate character data table TD700A as candidate data is received, the process proceeds to step S232C.

  In step S232C, processing similar to that described above is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. It is assumed that the following character input image MG300B is displayed on display unit 530 by this processing. Then, the process of step S232C ends.

  FIG. 38 is a diagram showing a character input image MG300B as an example. Referring to FIG. 38, character input image MG300B includes a selection candidate character string shown in selection candidate character data table TD700A in the selection candidate character string display region MR330, as compared with character input image MG300A in FIG. The difference is that the character string number corresponding to the selection candidate character string is displayed. Other than that, it is the same as character input image MG300A, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. In this case, since the selection candidate character string including the input two characters is displayed, as in the character input image MG300A of FIG. 34, the selection candidate character string including the input one character is displayed. The probability that the character string desired by the user is displayed is increased.

  Referring to FIG. 31 again, in step S233C, the same processing as described above is performed, and thus detailed description will not be repeated. Here, assuming that there is a selection operation M, control unit 510 sets the value of counter K to “1”, and the process proceeds to step S234C. The selection operation M that has been performed includes an operation of pressing the function button 542A set as the selection mode setting button and an operation of inputting the number “1” during the period in which the mobile terminal device 500 is in the character string selection mode. Suppose that

  In step S234C, the same processing as described above is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. With this processing, it is assumed that selection data indicating the selection number “1” is transmitted to the data processing device 600 in the selection data MD800 of FIG.

  In the character input process TC, the processes of steps S256C, S257C, and S258C are performed as described above. It is assumed that a character string “Taro” is displayed in the character input box IW224 by these processes.

  Note that the character input operation M determined in steps S221C and S233CD may be an operation for deleting or changing a part of a plurality of characters displayed in the character input area MR320. In this case, after the determination in step S221CE is YES, the process in step S226 is performed, so that the changed input character is transmitted to the data processing device 600. Then, by performing the processing of steps S251C, S252C, S253C, S254C, and S255C described above, control unit 610 displays candidate data that indicates a plurality of selection candidate character strings that include the changed input character as the first character. The selection candidate character data table is transmitted to the mobile terminal device 500.

  Then, the processes of steps S231C and S232C described above are performed. That is, each time a part of a plurality of input characters is deleted or changed in the mobile terminal device 500, a plurality of selection candidate character strings including the changed characters are displayed on the display unit 530. Then, it is assumed that the processes of steps S233C, S234C, S256C, S257C, and S258C described above are performed. Even if a part of a plurality of input characters is deleted or changed by these processes, a character displayed on the display unit 630 is selected by selecting a selection candidate character including the changed character. The selected candidate character including the changed character can be displayed in the input frame.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the character input frame displayed on the display unit 630 of the data processing device 600 is ready for input, the type of characters (permitted characters) permitted to be input in the character input frame. Type) is transmitted to the mobile terminal device 500.

  Then, when a character is input in portable terminal device 500, the input character (input character) is transmitted to data processing device 600.

  In the data processing device 600, it is determined whether or not the selection candidate character string is stored in the storage unit 620. The selection candidate character string is a character string that includes only the characters of the permitted character type indicated by the input box data included in the input character string request data including the input character indicated by the received input character data in the first character. . When there are one or more selection candidate character strings, the one or more selection candidate character strings and a character string number that identifies each of the one or more selection candidate character strings are transmitted to the mobile terminal device 500.

  In the mobile terminal device 500, the received one or more selection candidate character strings and the character string numbers specifying each of the one or more selection candidate character strings are displayed on the display unit 530 of the mobile terminal device 500 operated by the user. Is displayed.

  Therefore, when there is a user-desired character string in one or more selection candidate character strings including the characters input in the mobile terminal device 500 displayed on the display unit 530, an operation of inputting the desired character string is unnecessary. It becomes.

  A desired selection candidate character string can be efficiently input to the data processing apparatus 600 by a simple operation of inputting a number for specifying the desired character string in the mobile terminal device 500. As a result, it is possible to input a character string efficiently.

  Further, in the present embodiment, in mobile terminal device 500, as more characters are input, a desired character string and a character string closer to the desired character string are displayed on display unit 530. That is, in portable terminal device 500, the more characters are input, the higher the probability that a desired character string is displayed on display unit 530. As a result, in mobile terminal device 500, the more characters are input, the higher the probability that an operation for inputting a desired character string is unnecessary.

  A desired selection candidate character string can be input to the data processing device 600 more efficiently by a simple operation of inputting a number for specifying the desired character string in the mobile terminal device 500. As a result, it is possible to input a character string efficiently.

  Further, in this embodiment, since it is not necessary to store many character strings including characters input in mobile terminal device 500 in storage unit 520 of mobile terminal device 500, the storage area of storage unit 520 is stored. It can be effectively used for other purposes.

  Further, in the present embodiment, since the processing described in the first embodiment is also performed, the effect of the first embodiment is also achieved. In other words, there is an effect that it is possible to easily input a character of a type permitted to be input in the character input frame in the input enabled state. In addition, even when characters of a type permitted to be input in the character input frame in the input enabled state cannot be directly input in the mobile terminal device 500, characters of a type permitted to be input are input to the character input frame in the input enabled state. There is an effect that can be done. In addition, there is an effect that it is possible to prevent a character from being input to a character input frame that is not an input target of the received character.

<Fifth embodiment>
Next, another example of the process of using the input character string once in the mobile terminal device 500 will be described.

  Since the network system in the present embodiment is similar to network system 1000 in the first embodiment, detailed description will not be repeated. Since the configurations of mobile terminal device 500 and data processing device 600 are the same as those described in the first embodiment, detailed description will not be repeated.

  In the present embodiment, it is assumed that operation determination processing M is performed in mobile terminal device 500 when mobile terminal device 500 is in the RC mode. The operation determination process M is a process performed independently of other processes. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that data processing device 600 performs the following control signal handling process TD independently of other processes.

  Here, it is assumed that control image MG100A in FIG. 7 is displayed on display unit 530 of portable terminal device 500. That is, it is assumed that the state of portable terminal device 500 is state MA. In the state MA, it is assumed that the Web page image G200 of FIG. 8 is displayed on the display unit 630 of the data processing device 600 by operating the direction buttons 541A, 541B, 541C, 541D, the determination button 541E, and the like.

  Here, as described in the second embodiment, the control unit 610 of the data processing device 600 acquires the input frame correspondence information, and uses the acquired input frame correspondence information to input the input frame data table. And the generated input frame data table is stored in the storage unit 620. When the Web page image G200 is displayed on the display unit 630, the generated input frame data table is the input frame data table TD100A in FIG. In this case, it is assumed that the input frame data table TD100A is stored in the storage unit 620.

  FIG. 39 is a flowchart of the operation determination process M and the control signal handling process TD. In FIG. 39, the processing with the same step number as in FIG. 11 is performed in the same manner as the processing described in FIG. In the following, processing different from the processing in FIG. 11 will be mainly described.

  Referring to FIG. 39, operation determination process M is similar to operation determination process M of FIG. 11 described in the first embodiment, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. The control signal handling process TD differs from the control signal handling process T in FIG. 11 in that step S144DD is performed instead of step S144C and step S145D is performed instead of step S145. Other than that, it is the same as the control signal handling process T, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated.

  Here, it is assumed that an ENTER-RC signal as a control signal including the device ID “11MA” is transmitted from the mobile terminal device 500 to the data processing device 600. Further, it is assumed that the Web page image G200 of FIG. 8 is displayed on the display unit 630 of the data processing apparatus 600. That is, it is assumed that the character input frame IW212 is in a selected state.

  In this case, YES is determined in step S144B of the control signal handling process TD, and the process proceeds to step S144DD.

  In step S144DD, input enable setting processing TD is performed. In the input enabling setting process TD, the control unit 610 can input characters into all the character input frames displayed on the display unit 630 in the character input frame (hereinafter also referred to as input enabled state). Set to.

  Here, it is assumed that Web page image G200 of FIG. 8 is displayed on display unit 630. In this case, all the character input frames displayed on the Web page image G200 are set to the input enabled state. Then, the process proceeds to step S145D.

  In step S145D, a character input process TD is performed. Character input process TD is a process performed when the character input frame displayed on display unit 630 is in an input enabled state. The character input frame in the input enabled state is an input frame set in the input enabled state. In portable terminal device 500, it is assumed that the following character input process MD is performed independently of other processes.

  FIG. 40 is a flowchart of the character input process MD and the character input process TD. In FIG. 40, the process with the same step number as in FIG. 12 is performed in the same way as the process described in FIG. In the following, processing different from the processing in FIG. 12 will be mainly described.

  In step S241, processing similar to that described in the first embodiment is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. If YES in step S241, the process proceeds to step S242D. On the other hand, if NO at step S241, the process proceeds to step S261.

  In step S242D, control unit 610 uses communication unit 660 to transmit character string request data D as character string request instruction D, which is an instruction for requesting a character string, to portable terminal device 500. The character string request data D to be transmitted includes the device ID “11TA” of the own device and the input frame data D. The input frame data D indicates an input frame ID for specifying a character input frame in an input enabled state, and input frame correspondence information corresponding to the input frame ID in the input frame data table. When the character string request data D as the character string request instruction D is transmitted, the process of step S242D ends.

  If it is determined NO in step S252D or step S253D of FIG. 40 described later and the process of step S242D is performed again, in step S242D, control unit 610 determines the device ID and input frame data D of its own device. In addition, the character string request data D including the error message is transmitted to the mobile terminal device 500. The error message is, for example, a message “An error has occurred. Please try again.”

  Here, it is assumed that the Web page image G200 of FIG. 8 is displayed on the display unit 630. Also, the character input frames IW212, IW214, IW222, IW224, IW232, IW234, IW236, IW242, IW244, IW252, IW262, IW264, IW266, which are displayed on the Web page image G200, by the input enabling setting process TD in step S144DD described above. , IW272 and IW282 are in an input enabled state. Further, it is assumed that the input frame data table used in the process of step S242D is the input frame data table TD100A of FIG. In this case, the input box data D included in the character string request data D is the following input box data table TD200D.

  FIG. 41 is a diagram showing an input frame data table TD200D as an example. The input frame data table TD200D includes a plurality of input frame data. Referring to FIG. 41, in input frame data table TD200D, “number” is a number for specifying input frame data. Each item other than the “number” in the input frame data table TD200D is the same as each item in the input frame data table TD100A of FIG. 17, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated.

  Referring to FIG. 40 again, in the character input process TD, the process proceeds to step S243D after the process in step S242D.

  In step S243D, a frame ID display process T is performed. In the frame ID display process T, the control unit 610 uses the VDP 632 to input each character input frame that is displayed on the display unit 630 and that is in an input enabled state for specifying the character input frame. Frame IDs are displayed in association with each other. Then, the process of step S243D ends.

  Here, it is assumed that Web page image G200 of FIG. 8 is displayed on display unit 630 before frame ID display processing T is performed. In this case, the web page image G200 becomes the following web page image G200N by the frame ID display process T.

  FIG. 42 is a diagram showing a web page image G200N as an example. 42, Web page image G200N is compared with Web page image G200 of FIG. 8 in character input frames IW212, IW214, IW222, IW224, IW232, IW234, IW236, IW242, IW244, IW252, and IW262. The difference is that an input frame ID for specifying the character input frame is displayed in association with each upper part of each of IW264, IW266, IW272, and IW282. Other than that, it is the same as Web page image G200, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated.

  Referring to FIG. 40 again, in the character input process MD, first, the process of step S211D is performed.

  In step S211D, control unit 510 determines whether or not character string request data D as character string request instruction D has been received. If YES in step S211D, the process proceeds to step S212. On the other hand, if NO at step S211D, the process at step S211D is performed again. Here, assuming that the character string request data D as the character string request instruction D is received, the process proceeds to step S212.

  When the received character string request data D includes an error message, control unit 510 causes display unit 530 to display the error message for a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds). Then, the process proceeds to step S212.

  In step S212, the same processing as that described in the first embodiment is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. With this process, the operation mode of the mobile terminal device 500 is changed from the RC mode to the normal mode.

  In step S213, the same processing as that described in the first embodiment is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. Then, the process proceeds to step S213D.

  Here, it is assumed that the storage unit 520 stores a counter S. Assume that the counter S is a counter for counting numerical values. It is assumed that the initial value of the counter S is “1”.

  In step S213D, a frame data reading process M is performed. In frame data reading process M, control unit 510 reads input frame data having a number indicated by counter S, which is included in input frame data D included in received character string request data D. Here, it is assumed that the input box data D included in the character string request data D is the input box data table TD200D of FIG. Further, it is assumed that the value indicated by the counter S is “1”. In this case, the input frame data with the number “1” included in the input frame data table TD200D is read. Hereinafter, the input frame data read in the frame data reading process M is also referred to as read input frame data. Then, the process proceeds to step S214D.

  In step S214D, it is determined whether or not input of characters of the permitted character type is permitted. Specifically, control unit 510 determines whether or not the permitted character type indicated by the read input frame data is input permitted character type M. As described above, the input permitted character type M is a type of characters permitted to be input in the mobile terminal device 500. Here, the input permitted character type M is, for example, kanji, hiragana, full-width katakana, half-width alphabet uppercase, half-width alphabet lowercase, and half-width numbers.

  If YES in step S214D, the process proceeds to step S215D. On the other hand, if NO at step S214D, the process proceeds to step S218D.

  In step S215D, a character input mode setting process MD is performed. In the character input mode setting process MD, in the description of the process in step S215 in FIG. 12, the same process as the process in which the input frame data included in the received character string request data is replaced with the read input frame data is performed. The explanation is not repeated.

  In step S218D, a character input mode setting process MND is performed. In the character input mode setting process MND, in the description of the process in step S218 in FIG. 12, the same process as the process in which the input frame data included in the received character string request data is replaced with the read input frame data is performed. The explanation is not repeated.

  In step S221, the same processing as that described in the first embodiment is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. It is assumed that the character input image N in which the character string “A ...” is not displayed in the character input image MG300 of FIG. Then, the process proceeds to step S221D.

  In step S221D, it is determined whether or not there is a designated character string D. Here, it is assumed that the designated character string D is a character string of the character string type indicated by the read input frame data. That is, the designated character string D is a character string of a character string type that is requested to be input to the character input box specified by the input box ID indicated by the read input box data. Specifically, control unit 510 determines whether or not designated character string D is stored in storage unit 520. When the process of step S221D is performed for the first time, the designated character string D is not stored in the storage unit 520.

  If YES in step S221D, control unit 510 causes message DE described later to be displayed on display unit 530 for a predetermined time, and proceeds to step S221DE described later. On the other hand, if NO in step S221D, control unit 510 causes message DF to be displayed on display unit 530 for a predetermined time, and proceeds to step S222.

  The message DF is a message that prompts the user to input a character string for input into the character input box specified by the input box ID indicated by the read input box data. For example, when the read input frame data is the input frame data of the number “1” included in the input frame data table TD200D of FIG. 41, the message DF includes, for example, “input frame ID among 15 character input frames. Enter the character string to be entered in the character input box of “TX01” ”.

  Here, assuming that designated character string D is not stored in storage unit 520, control unit 510 causes message DF to be displayed on display unit 530 for a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds), and proceeds to step S222.

  In step S222, the same processing as that described in the first embodiment is performed, and thus detailed description will not be repeated. Then, the process proceeds to step S223D.

  In step S223D, the same processing as the processing in which the input box data included in the received character string request data is replaced with the read input box data in the description of step S223 in FIG. Absent. Then, the process proceeds to step S223DE.

  In step S223DE, a character string storage process MD is performed. In the character string storage processing MD, the control unit 510 causes the storage unit 520 to store character string data in which the character string type indicated by the read input frame data is associated with the input confirmed character string. When the process in step S223DE is performed for the first time, the storage unit 520 stores a character string data table including one character string data.

  When the character string data table is already stored in the storage unit 520, the control unit 510 adds the character string data to the character string data table stored in the storage unit 520.

  When the character string data table indicating the character string type indicated by the read input frame data is stored in the storage unit 520, the control unit 510 displays the character string associated with the character string type indicated by the read input frame data. The fixed character string (input character string) indicated by the column data table is replaced with a newly input fixed character string.

  Here, it is assumed that the inputted fixed character string is “Taro” as an example. Further, as an example, the read input frame data is input frame data of number “4” included in the input frame data table TD200D of FIG. In this case, the storage unit 520 stores the character string data table MD400 of FIG. Then, the process of step S223DE ends, and the process proceeds to step S224D.

  In step S224D, control unit 510 determines whether character input mode setting process MND has been performed. That is, it is determined whether the permitted character type indicated by the read input frame data is not the permitted input character type M but the permitted input character type M, and whether the character input mode setting process MND has been performed. If YES in step S224D, the process proceeds to step S225D. On the other hand, if NO at step S224D, the process proceeds to step S226D.

  In step S225D, a character conversion process MD is performed. In the character conversion process MD, in the description of the process in step S225 of FIG. 12, the character input mode setting process MN and the input box data included in the received character string request data are converted into the character input mode setting process MND and the read input box, respectively. Since the same processing as the processing replaced with data is performed, detailed description will not be repeated.

  In the character conversion process MD, the control unit 510 further includes the input indicated by the character string data corresponding to the read input frame data included in the character string data table stored in the storage unit 520 by the character string storage process MD described above. A character string (for example, a character string of half-width numeric characters) is replaced with a confirmed character string (for example, a character string of full-width numeric characters) after the conversion. Then, the process proceeds to step S225DE.

  In step S225DE, it is determined whether or not reading of the frame data has been completed. Specifically, control unit 510 determines whether or not reading of all input box data included in input box data D included in received character string request data D has been completed. If YES in step S2225DE, control unit 510 sets the value of counter S to “1”, and proceeds to step S226D. On the other hand, if NO at step S225DE, control unit 510 increments the value of counter S by 1, and the process of step S213D is performed again.

  Here, it is assumed that the input box data D included in the character string request data D is the input box data table TD200D of FIG. Further, it is assumed that reading of all input frame data included in the input frame data table TD200D has not been completed. In this case, NO is determined in step S225DE, and it is assumed that control unit 510 increments the value of counter S by 1, and the process of step S213D is performed again.

  Then, it is assumed that the processes of steps S213D to S225D described above are repeatedly performed until it is determined as YES in step S225DE. It is assumed that the character string data table MD400A of FIG. 23 is stored in the storage unit 520 of the mobile terminal device 500 by these processes.

  If YES in step S225DE, control unit 510 sets the value of counter S to “1”, and proceeds to step S226D.

  In step S226D, a character string transmission process MD is performed. In the character string transmission process MD, the control unit 510 uses the communication unit 560 to transmit the input box character data D to the device specified by the device ID included in the received character string request data D. Here, the input box character data D is an input enabled character input specified by the input box ID indicated by each of the plurality of input box data included in the input box data D included in the received character string request data D. This is data indicating a character string to be input in the frame.

  Here, the input box character data D to be transmitted corresponds to the input box ID indicated by each of the plurality of input box data included in the input box data D included in the received character string request data D and the input box ID. The input character string stored in the storage unit 520 in association with the character string type to be processed and the data amount of the input character string.

  Here, it is assumed that the input frame data D included in the received character string request data D is the input frame data table TD200D of FIG. In this case, the input character string stored in the storage unit 520 in association with the character string type corresponding to the input frame ID indicated by each of the plurality of input frame data included in the input frame data table TD200D as the input frame data D is This is the input character string indicated by the character string data table MD400A of FIG. Further, it is assumed that the device ID included in the character string request data D is “11TA”.

  In this case, the input box character data D is the following input box character data table MD300D. The input box character data table MD300D as the input box character data D is transmitted to the data processing device 600 specified by the device ID “11TA”. Then, the process of step S226D ends.

  FIG. 43 is a diagram showing an input box character data table MD300D as an example. Input box character data table MD300D includes a plurality of input box character data. Referring to FIG. 43, in input box character data table MD300D, “number” is a number for specifying input box character data. Each item other than “number” in the input box character data table MD300D is the same as each item of the input box character data MD300 in FIG. 15, and therefore, detailed description thereof will not be repeated.

  Referring to FIG. 40 again, in the character input process TD, the process proceeds to step S251D after the process in step S243D.

  In step S251D, control unit 610 determines whether or not input box character data D has been received. If YES in step S251D, the process proceeds to step S252D. On the other hand, if NO at step S251D, the process at step S251D is performed again. Here, assuming that input box character data table MD300D of FIG. 43 as input box character data D has been received, the process proceeds to step S252D.

  In step S252D, whether the plurality of input character strings respectively indicated by the plurality of input box character data included in the received input box character data D are character strings to be input to the plurality of character input boxes in the input enabled state. It is determined whether or not.

  Specifically, the control unit 610 includes the input box ID indicated by each of the plurality of input box character data included in the received input box character data D and the character string request data D transmitted to the mobile terminal device 500. It is determined whether or not the input frame ID indicated by each of the plurality of input frame data included in the input frame data D matches. If YES in step S252D, the process proceeds to step S253D. On the other hand, if NO at step S252D, the process at step S242D is performed again.

  Here, it is assumed that the received input box character data D is the input box character data table MD300D of FIG. Further, it is assumed that the input frame data D included in the character string request data D transmitted to the mobile terminal device 500 is the input frame data table TD200D of FIG. In this case, YES is determined in step S252D, and the process proceeds to step S253D.

  In step S253D, the character string request data D transmitted from the control unit 610 to the portable terminal device 500 indicates that the character type of the input character string indicated by each of the plurality of input box character data included in the received input box character data D is the same. It is determined whether or not it matches the permitted character type indicated by each of the plurality of input frame data included in the input frame data D included in. If YES in step S253D, the process proceeds to step S254. On the other hand, if NO at step S253D, the process at step S242D is performed again.

  Here, it is assumed that the received input box character data D is the input box character data table MD300D. Further, it is assumed that the input frame data D included in the character string request data D transmitted to the mobile terminal device 500 is the input frame data table TD200D of FIG. In this case, YES is determined in step S253D, and the process proceeds to step S254.

  In step S254, the same processing as that described in the first embodiment is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. With this process, a character string reception completion notification T is transmitted to the mobile terminal device 500. As described above, the character string reception completion notification T is a notification indicating that the reception of the character string for input into the character input frame in the input enabled state is completed. Then, the process of step S254 ends.

In the character input process MD, the process proceeds to step S227 after the process of step S226D.
Since the processes in steps S227 and S231 are the same as those described in the first embodiment, detailed description thereof will not be repeated. After the process of step S231, the process of step S211D is performed again.

In the character input process TD, the process proceeds to step S255D after the process of step S254.
In step S255D, a character string display process TD is performed. In the character string display process TD, the control unit 610 uses the VDP 632 to input the input character string indicated by each of the plurality of input box character data included in the received input box character data D by the input character string. It is displayed in the character input frame of the required input enabled state. In addition, the control unit 610 inputs the input character string indicated by each of the plurality of input frame character data included in the received input frame character data D in the input enabled state in which input of the input character string is requested. The information is stored in the storage unit 620 in association with the frame.

  Here, it is assumed that Web page image G200N of FIG. 42 is displayed on display unit 630. Further, it is assumed that the character input frames IW212, IW214, IW222, IW224, IW232, IW234, IW236, IW242, IW244, IW252, IW262, IW264, IW266, IW272, and IW282 are displayed in the Web page image G200N. .

  Further, it is assumed that the received input box character data D is the input box character data table MD300D of FIG. In this case, by the character string display process TD, for example, the character string “Taro” is displayed in the character input box IW224 specified by the input box ID “TX04” shown in the input box character data table MD300D. The storage unit 620 stores the character string “taro” in association with the input frame ID “TX04” for specifying the character input frame IW224.

  Similarly, a corresponding input character string is also displayed in each of the character input frames IW212, IW214, IW222, IW232, IW234, IW236, IW242, IW244, IW252, IW262, IW264, IW266, IW272, and IW282. With these processes, the Web page image G200N displayed on the display unit 630 becomes the following Web page image G200NA.

  That is, the input character string is input to each of the plurality of character input frames in the input enabled state at a time. Then, the character input process TD ends, the process returns to the control signal corresponding process TD in FIG. 39, and the process of step S141 is performed again.

  FIG. 44 is a diagram showing a web page image G200NA as an example. 44, Web page image G200NA is compared with Web page image G200N. Character input frames IW212, IW214, IW222, IW224, IW232, IW234, IW236, IW242, IW244, IW252, IW262, IW264, and IW266 , IW272 and IW282 are different in that a character string is input. Other than that, it is the same as Web page image G200N, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated.

  Next, a process when it is determined NO in step S241 will be described. Here, if NO is determined in step S <b> 241, it is assumed that the data processing device 600 has received an RC signal as a control signal including the device ID “11 KB” from the wireless keyboard 400. If NO in step S241, the process proceeds to step S261.

  In step S261, a process similar to that described in the first embodiment is performed, and thus detailed description will not be repeated.

  In step S262D, a character input editing process TD is performed. Here, it is assumed that a plurality of character input frames displayed on the display unit 630 are in an input enabled state. Below, the character input frame used as the object which displays character data among the several character input frames of an input possible state is also called a character display object frame. It is assumed that the character display target frame is determined in advance.

  In the character input editing process TD, each time the control unit 610 receives character data by operating the wireless keyboard 400 by the user using the VDP 632, the character indicated by the received character data is displayed in the character display target frame. Display. It is assumed that the character display target frame can be changed by operating the wireless keyboard 400.

  In the character input editing process TD, an input end determination process TD is performed independently of other processes. In the input end determination process TD, the control unit 610 determines whether or not there is an input end operation T. The input end operation T is an operation of the wireless keyboard 400 for ending the process of inputting characters.

  When there is an input end operation T, the control unit 610 ends the character input editing process TD. Then, the character input process TD ends, the process returns to the control signal corresponding process TD in FIG. 39, and the process of step S141 is performed again.

  Next, it is assumed that the character string data table MD400A of FIG. 23 is stored in the storage unit 520 of the portable terminal device 500 by performing the character input process MD of FIG. 40 a plurality of times. In this case, a process when the processes of FIGS. 39 and 40 described above are performed will be described.

  Here, it is assumed that control image MG100A in FIG. 7 is displayed on display unit 530 of portable terminal device 500. That is, it is assumed that the state of portable terminal device 500 is state MA. In the state MA, it is assumed that the Web page image G200 of FIG. 8 is displayed on the display unit 630 of the data processing device 600 by operating the direction buttons 541A, 541B, 541C, 541D, the determination button 541E, and the like. In addition, as described in the second embodiment, the control unit 610 generates the input frame data table, so that the storage unit 620 stores the input frame data table TD100A of FIG. And

  Then, it is assumed that all the character input frames shown in the Web page image G200 in FIG. 8 are set to the input enabled state by performing the operation determination process M and the control signal corresponding process TD in FIG.

  Then, it is assumed that the character string request data D as the character string request instruction D is transmitted to the mobile terminal device 500 by the processes of steps S241 and S242D of the character input process TD in FIG. Further, it is assumed that the Web page image G200N of FIG.

  In step S211D of the character input process MD, assuming that the character string request data D as the character string request instruction D is received, the process proceeds to step S212. Then, the processes in steps S212 and S213 are performed as described above.

  In step S213D, processing similar to that described above is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. Here, it is assumed that the input frame data D included in the received character string request data D is the input frame data table TD200D of FIG. Further, it is assumed that the value indicated by the counter S is “1”. In this case, the input frame data with the number “1” included in the input frame data table TD200D is read. That is, the input frame data with the number “1” is read input frame data.

  Then, the process of step S214D is performed, and after the process of step S215D or step S218D is performed, the process proceeds to step S221.

  In step S221, the same processing as that described in the first embodiment is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. It is assumed that the character input image N in which the character string “A ...” is not displayed in the character input image MG300 of FIG.

  In step S221D, processing similar to that described above is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. Here, it is assumed that the read input frame data is, for example, the input frame data of the number “1” included in the input frame data table TD200D. Further, it is assumed that the character string data table MD400A of FIG. 23 is stored in the storage unit 620.

  In this case, the designated character string D is associated with the character string type (label “NAME-SEI”) indicated by the input box data with the number “1” included in the input box data TD200D in the character string data table MD400A. The input character string is the Chinese character “Akiharu”. In this case, it is determined that the designated character string D is stored in the storage unit 520, and the control unit 510 displays the message DE on the display unit 530 for a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds), and proceeds to step S221DE. .

  The message DE is a message for displaying a character string to be input to the character input box specified by the input box ID indicated by the read input box data. When the read input frame data is, for example, the input frame data of the number “1” included in the input frame data table TD200D, the message DE is, for example, “The input frame ID is“ TX01 among 15 character input frames ”. "The character string to be entered in the character input box has already been entered in this device. Therefore, the entered character string is displayed."

  In step S221DE, a character string display process MD is performed. In the character string display process MD, the control unit 510 uses the VDP 532 to display the input character string as the designated character string D in the character input area MR320 displayed on the display unit 530. If the input character string as the designated character string D is, for example, the Chinese character “Akiharu”, the Chinese character “Akiharu” is displayed in the character input area MR320.

  In step S222, when a character confirmation operation is performed, the input character string as the designated character string D displayed in the character input area MR320 becomes a confirmed character string. In the process of step S222, the input character string as the designated character string D displayed in the character input area MR320 is edited by the user pressing the direction buttons 541C and 541D, the effective character button, or the like as necessary. You can also. In this case, the edited character string becomes a confirmed character string.

  In step S223DE, the same processing as described above is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated.

  Then, the process of step S224D is performed. Depending on the determination result of step S224D, the process of step S225D is also performed.

  In step S225DE, the same processing as described above is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. Then, it is assumed that the processes of steps S213D to S225D described above are repeatedly performed until it is determined as YES in step S225DE.

  Note that character string data table MD400A of FIG. 23 is stored in storage unit 520 of portable terminal device 500. Therefore, every time the processes of steps S213D to S225D described above are performed, YES is determined in step S221D. Through the process of step S221DE, the character string of the character string type requested to be input in the character input box is displayed in the character input area MR320. Therefore, the user does not need to input a character string of the character string type that is required to be input in the character input box.

  If YES in step S225DE, control unit 510 sets the value of counter S to “1”, and proceeds to step S226D.

  In step S226D, the same processing as described above is performed, and therefore detailed description will not be repeated. It is assumed that the input box character data D is transmitted to the data processing device 600 by this processing. Here, it is assumed that the input box character data D to be transmitted is the input box character data table MD300D of FIG.

In the character input process TD, the process of step S251D is performed.
In steps S251D, S252D, S253D, S254, and S255D, processing similar to that described above is performed, and thus detailed description thereof will not be repeated. By these processes, the Web page image G200N of FIG. 42 displayed on the display unit 630 becomes like the Web page image G200NA of FIG. That is, the input character string is input to each of the plurality of character input frames in the input enabled state at a time.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when a plurality of character input frames displayed on the display unit 630 of the data processing device 600 are ready for input, a plurality of characters that are requested to be input to the plurality of character input frames, respectively. Input frame data D indicating the type of character string (character string type) is transmitted to the mobile terminal device 500. The input frame data D to be transmitted includes a plurality of input frame data. Each of the plurality of input box data indicates a character string type requested to be input to the corresponding character input box.

  In the mobile terminal device 500, a plurality of input frame data included in the received input frame data D are sequentially read. In portable terminal device 500, the character string type indicated by the read input frame data (read input frame data), and the confirmed character string that is the character string of the character string type input in portable terminal device 500, Is stored in the storage unit 520. Character string storage processing MD is performed. The character string storage process MD is performed every time input frame data is read.

  As a result, the character string data corresponding to the number of input frame data included in the input frame data D is stored in the storage unit 520. That is, a character string of a character string type that is requested to be input to the character input box specified by the input box ID indicated by each of the plurality of input box data included in the input box data D is stored in the storage unit 520. That is, character strings of a plurality of character string types that are requested to be input to a plurality of character input boxes respectively corresponding to a plurality of input box data included in the input box data D are stored in the storage unit 520.

  Further, in the mobile terminal device 500, a plurality of input frame data included in the received input frame data D is read in order. In portable terminal device 500, it is determined whether or not the character string type (designated character string D) indicated by the read input frame data (read input frame data) is stored in storage unit 520. The When the designated character string D is stored in the storage unit 520, a character string display process MD for displaying the designated character string D on the display unit 530 is performed. The character string display processing MD is performed every time it is determined that the input frame data is read and the designated character string D is stored.

  Then, the mobile terminal device 500 transmits to the data processing device 600 character strings of a plurality of character string types that are requested to be input to a plurality of character input frames that are ready for input. Then, a character string of the character string type requested to be input is input to each of the plurality of character input frames in the input enabled state at a time.

  Therefore, if a character string of the character string type indicated by each of the plurality of input frame data included in the received input frame data D has been input even once in the mobile terminal device 500, the user Thus, it is possible to input a character string at a time into each of a plurality of character input frames displayed in the data processing device 600 that are ready for input without having to perform the input operation.

  That is, when inputting a character string into a plurality of character input frames, in this embodiment, it is possible to input a character string more quickly than in the second embodiment, and the user's character string input operation Can be greatly reduced.

  As a result, there is an effect that it is possible to easily input a character string of a type that requires input into at least one character input frame of the plurality of character input frames in an input enabled state.

  Further, in the present embodiment, since the processing described in the first embodiment is also performed, the effect of the first embodiment is also achieved. In other words, there is an effect that it is possible to easily input a character of a type permitted to be input in the character input frame in the input enabled state. In addition, even when characters of a type permitted to be input in the character input frame in the input enabled state cannot be directly input in the mobile terminal device 500, characters of a type permitted to be input are input to the character input frame in the input enabled state. There is an effect that can be done. In addition, there is an effect that it is possible to prevent a character from being input to a character input frame that is not an input target of the received character.
