Description

  The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus, and more particularly to temporary storage processing of information.

  The information processing apparatus is generally used for creating a document. However, in creating this document, a review is indispensable. When a document is changed for review, not only new sentences and phrases are added, but also the order of sentences and phrases is frequently changed. For this change, processing using a temporary storage area called a clipboard is used. That is, a part of the document is copied and stored on the clipboard, and a part of the document stored on the clipboard is inserted into a different part of the document. By this temporary storage process, it is possible to reduce operations for inputting a new character.

  However, since a small and portable information processing device such as a mobile communication device has few keys, the input device has a plurality of keys having a function of inputting a plurality of numbers and characters and a function key. For this reason, many key operations are required to input characters. Therefore, the effect of reducing the number of key operations for character input by processing using the clipboard is great.

  However, these devices require at least a plurality of key operations for the operation of storing information in the clipboard. For example, when the information to be stored is a character string, the necessary key operation is a predetermined key operation by moving the cursor position to the first character of the character string to be stored, and the cursor to the last character of the character string to be stored. The position is moved and a predetermined key operation is performed. Here, the movement of the cursor position is, for example, by operating a cursor movement key for moving the cursor position in the up, down, left, and right directions.

  As a result, there has been a demand for a reduction in the number of key operations during temporary storage processing using a clipboard. In particular, when changing the order of many words when changing a document, it is strongly required to reduce the number of key operations.

Therefore, for example, when the cursor position does not change over a predetermined time, a process of cutting out a word or sentence from the vicinity of the cursor position and supplying the cut out word or sentence to a predetermined application is known (for example, (See Patent Document 1). A process for storing a plurality of information in a clipboard and outputting information of a specified number is known (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-25095 (pages 2-3, 9-10, page 13, FIG. 3) JP 2002-342331 A (2nd page, 5th page, FIG. 7)

  However, the method disclosed in Patent Document 1 described above has a problem that the extracted word or sentence is supplied to a predetermined application and cannot be used to change the document. Further, in the method disclosed in Patent Document 2 described above, information stored in the clipboard is limited to information of the same format and cannot be used to change a document.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an information processing apparatus that temporarily stores information effective for changing a document.

  In order to achieve the above object, an information processing apparatus according to the present invention includes an input unit including a key including a cursor position movement key, and a character that can identify that the cursor is placed on one character in a character string. A display means for displaying a string, a temporary information storage means for storing a character string, and a cursor position placed on a character in the character string displayed on the display means when the cursor position is not moved over a predetermined time. A character string in a predetermined unit obtained by analyzing a character string in a predetermined range including the character where the position is placed is stored in the temporary information storage unit, and the predetermined unit stored in the temporary information storage unit is stored. Information for identifying a character string is displayed on the display means, and one piece of information for identifying the displayed character string is selected based on a predetermined operation of the input means, and is identified by the selected identifying information. Be done And having a temporary information management means for inserting a string constant in units immediately before or after the character cursor is placed.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to temporarily store information effective for changing a document.

  Embodiments of an information processing apparatus according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a mobile communication apparatus to which an information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied.

  This mobile communication device is a device that performs communication through a mobile communication network (not shown), and transmits and receives radio waves between a control unit 11 that controls the entire device and a base station (not shown). Antenna 12a, communication unit 12b, transmitter / receiver 13, speaker 14a, microphone 14b, call unit 14c, display unit 15, input device 16, temporary information storage unit 31, and file storage unit 32 With.

  The control unit 11 includes a program, and functions realized by the control unit 11 executing the program include an e-mail processing function 21, an editor function 22, a temporary information management function 23, a text There is an analysis function 24. The temporary information storage unit 31 stores first temporary information 31a, second temporary information 31b, and third temporary information 31c. The file storage unit 32 stores a file 32a.

  The operation of each part of the mobile communication apparatus configured as described above according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  The communication unit 12b outputs the high-frequency signal received by the antenna 12a to the transmission / reception unit 13, and transmits the high-frequency signal output from the transmission / reception unit 13 from the antenna 12a.

  The transmission / reception unit 13 amplifies, frequency-converts and demodulates the high-frequency signal from the communication unit 12b. The digital audio signal obtained thereby is transmitted to the call unit 14c, and the obtained control signal is transmitted to the control unit 11. The mail is sent to the electronic mail processing function 21 of the control unit 11. Further, the transmission / reception unit 13 modulates, converts and amplifies the digital voice signal output from the call unit 14c, the control signal output from the control unit 11, and the e-mail output from the e-mail processing function 21. Then, a high frequency signal is obtained and sent to the communication unit 12b.

  The call unit 14c converts the digital audio signal output from the transmission / reception unit 13 into an analog audio signal, amplifies it, and sends it to the speaker 14a. The analog audio signal output from the microphone 14 b is amplified, converted into a digital audio signal, and transmitted to the transmission / reception unit 13.

  The display unit 15 is controlled by the control unit 11 to display image data including characters / numeric characters including a cursor. The displayed data is input operation from the input device 16 or receiving an incoming signal. In response to an instruction from the control unit 11. Further, when there is no input operation or incoming signal reception from the input device 16 for a predetermined time, the display unit 15 is controlled by the control unit 11 to end the display.

  The input device 16 designates the telephone number of the communication partner, etc., and numeric keys for inputting hiragana characters, alphabetic characters and symbol characters by a toggle type input method, and a cursor movement key for inputting a cursor movement instruction And a key including a plurality of function keys for inputting a function instruction including a scroll key. The cursor movement key includes four keys, and is used to move the cursor position in the vertical and horizontal directions.

  When a key of the input device 16 is operated, for example, pressed, the identifier of the key is notified to the control unit 11, and based on the control of the control unit 11, the processing of each unit in the device to which the identifier is notified These are displayed as characters on the display unit 15 or controlled based on key operation and release.

  The e-mail processing function 21 starts an operation based on a predetermined key operation of the input device 16 and transmits an e-mail. That is, the editor function 22 is operated in accordance with a predetermined key operation of the input device 16, and the destination e-mail address, subject, and text of the e-mail to be transmitted are input and stored in the file storage unit 32 as a file 32a. Let Here, the electronic mail address, the subject, and the body are all composed of character strings.

  Further, the e-mail processing function 21 operates the editor function 22 to edit the destination e-mail address, the subject, and the text stored as the file 32a, and update and store them as the file 32a. The subject and text included in the file 32a are sent to the mail server apparatus (not shown) by requesting the transmission / reception unit 13 to the input destination electronic mail address.

  Furthermore, the e-mail processing function 21 starts the operation upon receipt of the e-mail incoming signal, and includes an e-mail header including the e-mail address and subject of the e-mail transmitted from the mail server device. The text is received via the transmission / reception unit 13 and stored in the file storage unit 32 as a file 32a.

  The e-mail processing function 21 starts to operate based on a predetermined key operation of the input device 16, operates the editor function 22, and transmits the e-mail address of the received e-mail stored as the file 32a, The subject and text are displayed on the display unit 15.

  The editor function 22 includes a character string that is an input e-mail address, subject, or text, or a character string that is an e-mail address, subject, or text included in the file 32a (including a character string having zero characters). .) Is displayed on the display unit 15, edited, and stored as the file 32a. That is, according to the operation of the cursor movement key of the input device 16, the cursor position is moved to one character in the displayed character string. Then, the character string input in accordance with a predetermined key operation of the input device 16 is inserted immediately before or after the character at the cursor position.

  When the entire character string cannot be displayed on the display unit 15, the editor function 22 displays a part of the character string, and the part of the character string to be displayed is accompanied by the operation of the cursor movement key. Scroll.

  The editor function 22 deletes the character at which the cursor position is placed according to a predetermined key operation of the input device 16. Then, the edited character string is stored as, for example, the file 32a, and the operation ends. The editor function 22 has a kana-kanji conversion function, and inputs 2-byte characters (sometimes referred to as full-width characters) in addition to single-byte characters (sometimes referred to as half-width characters). The input 1-byte character and 2-byte character are handled in the same manner.

  The temporary information management function 23 stores part or all of the character string displayed on the display unit 15 in the temporary information storage unit 31 as first to third temporary information 31a to 31c. This storing operation may be performed according to a predetermined key operation of the input device 16. Further, the cursor position may not be moved for a predetermined time regardless of the key operation of the input device 16. In addition, the information to be stored may be a character string in units (to be described later) obtained by analyzing the character string displayed on the display unit 15 by the sentence analysis function 24.

  The temporary information management function 23 displays the character string stored in the temporary information storage unit 31 as the first to third temporary information 31 a to 31 c on the display unit 15 according to a predetermined key operation of the input device 16. The control unit 11 performs an operation of pasting into the character string, that is, inserting into the character string as if it were input according to the key operation of the input device 16. Furthermore, the ordering of the information stored in the first to third temporary information 31a to 31c is changed, and a part of the information stored in them is selected and deleted.

  The sentence analysis function 24 performs a morphological analysis on a given character string, and cuts out a character string of units constituting the character string from the given character string. Here, the unit character string includes paragraphs, sentences, character strings delimited by punctuation marks (hereinafter referred to as punctuation delimiters), clauses, and words.

  Hereinafter, the management process of the 1st-3rd temporary information 31a-31c in the mobile communication apparatus which concerns on this embodiment is demonstrated.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of the configuration of the first temporary information 31 a stored in the temporary information storage unit 31. The first temporary information 31a includes information in which a unit character string 31d, a unit type 31e, a storage order 31f, a storage date 31g, a use date 31h, and a use count 31i are associated with each other. . One set of associated information indicates one first temporary information 31a.

  The unit character string 31d is a character string. This character string may include font information. In FIG. 2, the character string cut out from the character string “I went to the sea because the weather was good today” was illustrated. The unit type 31e is a type of the unit character string 31d, and is one of “paragraph”, “sentence”, “punctuation delimiter”, “sentence”, and “word”. FIG. 2 illustrates “punctuation break” and “sentence”. Here, the “punctuation break” and the “sentence” include a phrase and a punctuation mark, but are not limited thereto.

  The storage order 31f is a natural number indicating the order in which the first temporary information 31a is stored. For example, a large number is stored in the near past, and a small number is stored in a far past. The storage order 31f of the first temporary information 31a cut out from one character string is the same number. For example, since the first temporary information 31a illustrated in FIG. 2 is cut out from one character string, the same number is stored in all the storage orders 31f.

  The storage date 31g indicates the time when the first temporary information 31a is stored. Here, since the first temporary information 31a illustrated in FIG. 2 is cut out from one character string and the storage order 31f is the same, all the storage dates 31g have substantially the same time. It is remembered. However, even if the storage order 31f is the same, the unit character string 31d is cut out from one character string, and the storage date 31g is different depending on the stored order.

  That is, the unit character string 31d whose unit type 31e is “punctuation delimiter” is first cut out and stored, and then the unit character string 31d whose unit type 31e is “sentence” is cut out and stored. Further, it is assumed that the unit character string 31d of the same unit type 31e is cut out and stored earlier in the character string at the beginning and later in the character string.

  Thus, sorting the first temporary information 31a with the unit type 31e, the unit character, and sorting the first temporary information 31a in front of the past in which the storage date 31g is far, and the past in the past. This means that the column 31d is sorted according to the position in the character string, but is not limited to this. The position where the unit character string 31d was in the character string may be stored separately. Note that the first temporary information 31a may not include the storage order 31f. This is because when the storage date 31g has a predetermined time difference, it is determined that the storage order 31f is different.

  The use date 31h indicates the time when the first temporary information 31a was used in the past, that is, pasted. The use count 31i is a natural number of 0 or more indicating the number of times the first temporary information 31a has been used, that is, pasted.

  The first temporary information 31a is sorted according to a predetermined criterion and stored according to the sorted order. The order is not limited to the order illustrated in FIG. 2, but depends on one or a combination of a plurality of sorting criteria shown below. Any standard may be given priority when combining. First, let the thing whose usage date 31h is the near past be the front, and the thing that is the distant past be the rear. Secondly, the one with a large number of uses 31i is assumed to be the front, and the one with a small number of uses 31i is assumed to be the rear.

  Thirdly, the storage order 31f in the past is the forward, and the one in the far past is the rear. Fourthly, the memory date 31g is a distant past, and the one that is a close past is the rear. As described above, this means that the storage order follows the combination of the unit type 31e and the position where the unit character string 31d was in the character string. Fifth, according to the unit type 31e, for example, “paragraph” comes first, then “sentence”, “punctuation break”, “phrase” successively follows, and “word” comes last.

  When the storage capacity of the temporary information storage unit 31 allocated to the storage of the first temporary information 31a is limited, when the first temporary information 31a is stored in the temporary information storage unit 31, that is, the temporary information management function 23 Is deleted in accordance with the storage order, that is, from the first temporary information 31a stored backward.

  In addition, although the reference | standard of the sort of the 1st temporary information 31a is arbitrary, what has a high possibility of being used is memorize | stored ahead, and the thing with the low possibility is memorize | stored back. Therefore, the past one with the date of use 31h or the one with a large number of uses 31i is stored in the front. This is because those used in the past and in the near past are likely to be used again.

  In addition, the past in the storage order 31f is stored in the front, and the past in the far past is stored in the rear. This is because the first temporary information 31a is stored, but there are not always a few unit character strings 31d that are not used, and therefore, the possibility of using information stored in a distant past is not necessarily high.

  FIG. 2 shows the past in which the storage order 31f is the near past forward, the past in the far past, and the backward in the case of the same storage order 31f. An example is shown in which the first temporary information 31a is stored in the front. What is stored in the front is shown above and what is stored in the back is shown below.

  An example of which is given priority when combining the criteria will be described. A storage order that is the same as the storage order 31f stored in association with the use date 31h that is the near past when the use date 31h is the near past and the far past is stored backward. All of the first temporary information 31a, which is 31f, may be stored forward.

  In FIG. 2, the unit character string 31d, the unit type 31e, the storage order 31f, the storage date 31g, the use date 31h, and the use count 31i are continuously stored and associated with each other. Although the illustrated information is illustrated as being continuously stored, this is for ease of understanding and is not limited thereto. For example, it is good also as a structure which memorize | stores discretely and connects between the discrete parts with a pointer. In particular, when the storage order is changed, the processing can be reduced by changing the storage order by changing the pointer.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of the configuration of the second temporary information 31 b stored in the temporary information storage unit 31. Similar to the first temporary information 31a described above, the second temporary information 31b includes a unit character string 31d, a unit type 31e, a storage order 31f, a storage date 31g, and a use date 31h. The number of uses 31i is associated with the information. One set of associated information indicates one second temporary information 31b.

  The unit character string 31d, the unit type 31e, the storage order 31f, the storage date 31g, the use date 31h, and the use count 31i of the second temporary information 31b are the first temporary information 31a. The description is omitted here. Further, in FIG. 3, these are continuously stored, and the associated information is illustrated to be continuously stored. However, the information is stored in a discrete manner, and the discrete portions are connected by a pointer. As described above, as described in the explanation of the first temporary information 31a.

  The second temporary information 31b is sorted according to a predetermined criterion and stored according to the sorted order. This order is the same as the order in which the first temporary information 31a is sorted as described in the explanation of the first temporary information 31a, and the description thereof is omitted. Note that the second temporary information 31b is not limited to being sorted according to the same criteria as the first temporary information 31a.

  When the storage capacity of the temporary information storage unit 31 allocated to the storage of the second temporary information 31b is limited, when the second temporary information 31b is stored in the temporary information storage unit 31, that is, the temporary information management function 23 Is deleted from the second temporary information 31b stored in the rear in accordance with the storage order.

  The second temporary information 31b may be sorted based on any sort criteria, but as described in the explanation of the first temporary information 31a, the one that is likely to be used is forward and the one that is less likely is used. Remembered backwards.

  Note that FIG. 3 shows that the second temporary information 31b in the same storage order 31f as the second temporary information 31b including the large number of use times 31i is in the front, the less is in the back, and the use number 31i is the same. If the storage order 31f is the near past, the past is the far past, and if the storage order 31f is the same, if the storage order 31f is the same, the past where the storage date 31g is near is the backward, and the past is the far past. An example is shown in which the second temporary information 31b is stored in front of the object. What is stored in the front is shown above and what is stored in the back is shown below.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of the configuration of the third temporary information 31 c stored in the temporary information storage unit 31. The third temporary information 31c includes information in which a character string 31m, a storage type 31n, a storage date 31g, a use date 31h, and a use count 31i are associated with each other. One set of associated information indicates one third temporary information 31c.

  The character string 31m is a character string cut out from the character string. The character string 31m may be any one of a paragraph, a sentence, a punctuation break, a clause, and a word, and it should not be any one like “the sea is good because of the weather” illustrated in FIG. There is also.

  The storage type 31n indicates a trigger when the character string 31m is cut out and stored in the temporary information storage unit 31, and is one of “cursor position”, “bookmark”, and “key operation”. The trigger stored in the temporary information storage unit 31 does not mean the trigger in which the character string 31m is stored as the third temporary information 31c. The character string 31m indicates an opportunity that is first stored in the temporary information storage unit 31 as one of the first to third temporary information 31a to 31c.

  The storage date 31 g is the time when the character string 31 m is stored in the temporary information storage unit 31. This time does not mean the time when the character string 31m is stored as the third temporary information 31c. The time when the character string 31m was first stored in the temporary information storage unit 31 as any of the first to third temporary information 31a to 31c is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may mean the time when the character string 31m is stored as the third temporary information 31c. The usage date 31h and the usage count 31i are as described in the description of the first temporary information 31a, and the description thereof is omitted.

  The third temporary information 31c is sorted according to a predetermined criterion and stored according to the sorted order. This order follows the description of the order in which the first temporary information 31a is stored. Since the third temporary information 31c does not have the storage order 31f, there is no ordering with reference to the storage order 31f. On the other hand, there is an ordering by the storage type 31n. The third temporary information 31c is not limited to being sorted according to the same standard as the first temporary information 31a.

  When the storage capacity of the temporary information storage unit 31 allocated to the storage of the third temporary information 31c is limited, when the third temporary information 31c is stored in the temporary information storage unit 31, that is, the temporary information management function 23 Is deleted in accordance with the storage order, that is, from the third temporary information 31c stored later.

  In addition, although the criteria for sorting the third temporary information 31c are arbitrary, as described in the explanation of the first temporary information 31a, the one that is likely to be used is the forward one, and the one that is less likely to be used. Remembered backwards. For this reason, emphasis is placed on the standard that uses the most 31i in the forward direction, the one that uses the least number in the rear, and the standard that uses the past in which the date of use 31h is near and forward in the far past. Is done. This is because when the third temporary information 31c is stored, almost all of it is used in the future or has already been used. This is because a large number of used ones and a recently used one are likely to be used again.

  In FIG. 4, when the number of use 31i is large, the one with the small number is used backward, and when the number of use 31i is the same, the storage type 31n is preceded by “key operation” and “bookmark” is set inside. An example in which the third temporary information 31c is stored with “cursor position” at the end is shown. What is stored in the front is shown above and what is stored in the back is shown below. This ordering by the storage type 31n is based on the estimation of the height of the user's consciousness when the character string 31m is stored in the temporary information storage unit 31.

  In FIG. 4, a character string 31m, a storage type 31n, a storage date 31g, a use date 31h, and a use count 31i are continuously stored, and associated information is continuously stored. However, this is for the purpose of facilitating understanding and is not limited thereto. For example, it is good also as a structure which memorize | stores discretely and connects between the discrete parts with a pointer. In particular, when the storage order is changed, the processing can be reduced by changing the storage order by changing the pointer.

  Next, the operation of the temporary information management function 23 will be described.

(Operation for storing the first temporary information 31a in the temporary information storage unit 31)
When the cursor position is placed on a character in the character string displayed on the display unit 15 for a predetermined time and is not moved, the temporary information management function 23 is cut out from the character string including the character at which the cursor position is placed. First temporary information 31 a including the unit character string 31 d is set and stored in the temporary information storage unit 31.

  FIG. 5 shows a flowchart of an operation of storing the first temporary information 31a performed by the temporary information management function 23 when the cursor position is not moved over a predetermined time. For example, the temporary information management function 23 starts an operation when a character string is displayed on the display unit 15 by the editor function 22 and the cursor position is placed on one character in the character string (step S23-1a). The notification of the key operation of the input device 16 is received (step S23-1b).

  Here, the character string displayed on the display unit 15 when the cursor position is placed on the character is exemplified. FIG. 6 shows a first example, and the character string designated to be displayed is “Today, the weather is good, so I went to the sea.” The displayed character string 15a is This is a string.

  The cursor position is placed on “ki”, which is one character in the character string, and the background of the character “ki” and / or this character is different from the display related to the character other than this character. Indicates that the cursor position is located. In FIG. 6, the cursor position is indicated by hatching the character “ki”. A character input by a predetermined key operation of the input device 16 is assumed to be inserted immediately before the character on which the cursor position is placed. Even if the character is inserted immediately after the character at which the cursor is placed, the same operation is possible.

  FIG. 7 shows a second example, and the displayed character string 15a is a part of a character string “I went to the sea because the weather is good today” specified to be displayed. , “So I went to the sea”. Compared to the first example shown in FIG. 6, “weather is good today” is not displayed by scrolling. However, this non-displayed character string is also a character string designated to be displayed, and is included in the displayed character string 15a. The rest is the same as the first example shown in FIG.

  FIG. 8 shows a third example. Compared with the first example shown in FIG. 6, the cursor position is placed at a position next to the displayed character string 15 a. It is input by key operation of the input device 16 including the case where a character is additionally input at the end of the displayed character string 15a by assuming that there is a character virtually at the next position of the displayed character string 15a. This is because the inserted character is always inserted immediately before the character at which the cursor is placed. The displayed character string 15a is the same as the first example shown in FIG.

  FIG. 9 shows a fourth example. Compared with the first example shown in FIG. 6, the cursor position is placed on the character “ki”, and the character “line” immediately before the character is displayed. "Indicated by a vertical bar displayed between". That is, the cursor position is placed on the character immediately after the vertical bar. The displayed character string 15a is the same as the first example shown in FIG.

  By displaying the vertical bar immediately before the character where the cursor is placed, the character input by the key operation of the input device 16 is always inserted immediately before the character where the cursor is placed, while the cursor is By inserting the character at the position of the vertical bar indicating the position, the character is inserted at a position that matches the user's feeling.

  In addition, when the character input by the key operation of the input device 16 is inserted immediately after the character where the cursor is placed, a bar line is displayed immediately after the character where the cursor is placed. A character is inserted at a position that matches the user's feeling.

  FIG. 10 shows a fifth example. Compared with the third example shown in FIG. 8, the vertical bar displayed immediately after the displayed character string 15 a causes the next character string 15 a to be displayed. Indicates that the cursor position is placed on a character that is considered to be virtually. The displayed character string 15a is the same as the third example shown in FIG.

  Returning to the description of the operation of the temporary information management function 23 with reference to FIG. It is checked whether or not the received notification is a key operation indicating cursor movement (step S23-1c), and if it is not a key operation indicating cursor movement, the temporary information management function 23 performs the key operation of step S23-1b. Move on to receive notifications. On the other hand, when the operation is a key indicating cursor movement, measurement of elapsed time with reference to the clock provided in the control unit 11 is started (step S23-1d), and it is checked whether or not a key operation notification is received ( Step S23-1e).

  When the key operation notification is received, the temporary information management function 23 proceeds to the operation of receiving the key operation notification in step S23-1b. On the other hand, if no key operation notification is received, it is checked whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed (step S23-1f).

  If the predetermined time has not elapsed, the temporary information management function 23 proceeds to an operation of checking whether or not a key operation notification has been received in step S23-1e. On the other hand, when the predetermined time has elapsed, the measurement of the elapsed time started in step S23-1d is terminated, the predetermined character string in the displayed character string is analyzed by the sentence analysis function 24, and obtained by the analysis. The first temporary information 31a is set for each character string of unit type, stored in the temporary information storage unit 31 (step S23-1g), and the operation proceeds to the operation of receiving the key operation notification in step S23-1b. Details of the operation of storing the first temporary information 31a for each unit type in step S23-1g will be described later.

  When the character string is no longer displayed on the display unit 15, for example, when the operation of the editor function 22 is terminated, the temporary information management function 23 performs the first operation when the cursor position is not moved over a predetermined time. The operation for storing the temporary information 31a is terminated (not shown).

  After the key indicating cursor movement is operated by the operation for checking whether or not the received notification in step S23-1c described above is an operation of the key indicating cursor movement, step S23- of the temporary information management function 23 is performed. An operation of storing 1 g of the first temporary information 31a is performed. That is, after the user operates a key indicating cursor movement and the operation from step S23-1d to step S23-1f checks that there is no key operation including a key indicating cursor movement for a predetermined time. In step S23-1g, the first temporary information 31a is stored.

  In the operation of the key indicating the cursor movement, the user of the apparatus moves the cursor position to one character in the character string displayed on the display unit 15, that is, the user of the apparatus moves to the one character. It shows that you have consciousness. Therefore, it is expected that there are many opportunities to use the first temporary information 31a including a character string around the character.

  On the other hand, the operation of checking whether or not the received notification in step S23-1c is a key operation indicating cursor movement is omitted, and the key is operated over a predetermined time by the operation of steps S23-1d to S23-1f. After checking that there is no operation, the operation | movement which memorize | stores the 1st temporary information 31a of step S23-1g may be performed.

  According to this operation, for example, when the user of the apparatus is inputting text while the editor function 22 is operating, the user does not perform key operation of the input device 16 for a predetermined time by considering the text. Even in this case, the operation of storing the first temporary information 31a in step S23-1g of the temporary information management function 23 is performed.

  As a result, regardless of which character in the character string the user of the device is aware of, unless the user of the device performs the key operation of the input device 16 for a predetermined time, the latest cursor is always displayed. First temporary information 31a created from a predetermined character string including the character where the position is placed and stored is prepared.

  The operation for storing the first temporary information 31a related to the unit type in step S23-1g will be described in detail. FIG. 11 shows a detailed flowchart of the operation of step S23-1g of the temporary information management function 23. The temporary information management function 23 is given a unit type as a parameter, and starts an operation for storing the first temporary information 31a related to the unit type (step S23-1i). As already described in the description of the unit type 31e of the first temporary information 31a, the unit type is any of “paragraph”, “sentence”, “punctuation break”, “sentence”, and “word”. Or one.

  Next, the temporary information management function 23 causes the sentence analysis function 24 to analyze a predetermined character string, cuts out the character string of the unit type given as a parameter, and obtains the cut out character string (step S23-1j). . Here, the predetermined character string is one of the following ranges or a combination thereof. When combining, the range related to the sentence and the range related to the line are combined. When combining, it may be a character string (AND condition) included in both of the plurality of ranges, or may be a character string (OR condition) included in any of the plurality of ranges.

  The predetermined character string is a character string in the following range. First, it is a character string included in a sentence including the character where the cursor is placed. In addition, it is a character string included in a plurality of sentences including a sentence including the character at which the cursor position is placed. In addition, the character string is displayed on a predetermined number of consecutive lines including the line including the character at which the cursor position is placed.

  Subsequently, the temporary information management function 23 sets the extracted character string of the unit type as the unit character string 31d, the unit type given as the parameter as the unit type 31e, The temporary information storage unit 31 stores the first temporary information 31a in which the serial number of the character string thus formed is stored in the storage order 31f, the operation time is stored in the storage date 31g, and 0 is used as the number of times 31i (step) S23-1k). Note that no value is set for the use date 31h.

  Then, it is checked whether or not there is a character string that has not been cut out among the character strings that have been cut out (step S23-1m). If there is a character string that has not been cut out, the temporary information management function 23 proceeds to an operation for causing the sentence analysis function 24 to cut out the character string of the unit type given as a parameter in step S23-1j. On the other hand, if there is no uncut character string, the operation is terminated (step S23-1n).

  When the storage capacity for storing the first temporary information 31a is determined, the temporary information management function 23 is an operation of storing the first temporary information 31a in the temporary information storage unit 31 in step S23-1k. In order to store the first temporary information 31a within the determined storage capacity, the first temporary information 31a stored behind is deleted in order.

  In the above description, when a unit type character string is cut out from a character string, one character string is cut out one by one, but the present invention is not limited to this. The temporary information management function 23 causes the sentence analysis function 24 to analyze all the character strings that are the target of character string extraction, obtain all the extracted character strings of a certain unit type, and character strings of those unit types The first temporary information 31a may be set and stored in the temporary information storage unit 31.

  Furthermore, by designating a plurality of unit types to be cut out to the sentence analysis function 24, the temporary information management function 23 obtains all the cut out character strings of all the unit types, and the characters of those unit types. The first temporary information 31a may be set from the column and stored in the temporary information storage unit 31.

  The character string to be cut out is “I went to the sea because the weather is good today”, and the operation of step S23-1g is performed according to a predetermined setting, or According to a predetermined key operation of the input device 16, first, the unit type is set as “punctuation break”, and then the unit type is set as “phrase”, thereby obtaining the first temporary information 31 a illustrated in FIG. 2. . However, when the information is stored in the temporary information storage unit 31 by the temporary information management function 23, no information is set for all the usage dates 31h, and “0” is set for all the usage counts 31i. Has been.

(Operation for storing the second temporary information 31b in the temporary information storage unit 31)
The temporary information management function 23 sets the bookmark when the character set with the cursor position in the character string displayed on the display unit 15 is set by a predetermined key operation of the input device 16. First temporary information 31 a including a unit character string 31 d cut out from a character string including characters is set and stored in the temporary information storage unit 31.

  FIG. 12 shows a flowchart of the operation for storing the second temporary information 31b performed by the temporary information management function 23 when the bookmark is set. The temporary information management function 23 starts operation when a character string is displayed on the display unit 15 and the cursor position is placed on one character in the character string (step S23-2a), and the key operation of the input device 16 is performed. Is received (step S23-2b).

  It is checked whether or not the received notification is an operation of a key indicating bookmark setting (step S23-2c). If it is not an operation of a key indicating bookmark setting, the temporary information management function 23 performs the key operation of step S23-2b. Move on to receive notifications. On the other hand, in the case of the operation of the key indicating the bookmark setting, the position where the bookmark is set, that is, the character where the cursor position is placed when the key operation indicating the bookmark setting is received is displayed on the display unit 15. It is stored along with the character string. For example, when this character string is a character string stored in the file 32a, the character string is stored in the file 32a (step S23-2d).

  Here, for example, the character in the character string displayed on the display unit 15 may be stored as the character at which the cursor is placed. However, the character string is edited by a processing unit that operates the character string, for example, the editor function 22. Then, depending on the editing, the number of characters changes. For example, the editor function 22 follows the change and updates and stores the position where the bookmark is set.

  Further, when the character at the cursor position is deleted when the operation of the key indicating the bookmark setting is received, for example, the editor function 22 is the character closest to the deleted character and has not been deleted. If a bookmark is set for a character, the position where the bookmark is set is updated and stored.

  Subsequently, the temporary information management function 23 sets the second temporary information 31b for each unit type from a predetermined character string and stores the second temporary information 31b in the temporary information storage unit 31 (step S23-2e). The operation proceeds to receiving a key operation notification of 2b.

  For the operation in step S23-2e, that is, the operation for setting the second temporary information 31b for each unit type from a predetermined character string and storing it in the temporary information storage unit 31, see FIGS. The operation of step S23-1g of the temporary information management function 23 described above is substantially the same. Therefore, the description will be omitted and differences will be described. The difference is that instead of setting the first temporary information 31a, the second temporary information 31b is set. Then, the second temporary information 31b shown in FIG. 3 is stored.

  In addition, when the storage capacity for storing the second temporary information 31b is determined, it is appropriate that the determined storage capacity is larger than the storage capacity for storing the first temporary information 31a. . This is because setting a bookmark is a strongly conscious operation for the user of the apparatus as compared to moving the cursor position. For this reason, since it is rarely forgotten over time, it is considered appropriate to store longer.

  When the cursor position by the temporary information management function 23 is not moved for a predetermined time, the operation for storing the first temporary information 31a in the temporary information storage unit 31 and the bookmark are set, the second temporary information is stored. The operation of storing the information 31b in the temporary information storage unit 31 is a similar operation that starts from receiving notification of key operation of the input device 16. Therefore, these operations may be performed as one operation instead of two operations.

(Operation to move the cursor position with reference to the bookmark)
When a bookmark is set in the character string displayed on the display unit 15, the temporary information management function 23 moves the cursor position to the position where the bookmark is set by operating a predetermined key of the input device 16. The character string displayed on the display unit 15 is scrolled so that the character with the mark is displayed on the display unit 15. When a plurality of bookmarks are set in the character string, the cursor position is sequentially moved to a position where a different bookmark is set as the key operation is repeated.

(Operation for storing the third temporary information 31c in the temporary information storage unit 31 by designating the start point character and the end point character)
The temporary information management function 23 selects a character string from the start point character to the end point character when the start point character and the end point character in the character string displayed on the display unit 15 by the predetermined key operation of the input device 16 are set. The third temporary information 31c as the character string 31m is set and stored in the temporary information storage unit 31.

  FIG. 13 shows the third temporary information performed by the temporary information management function 23 when the start point character and end point character in the character string displayed on the display unit 15 by the predetermined key operation of the input device 16 are set. The flowchart of the operation | movement which memorize | stores 31c is shown. The temporary information management function 23 starts the above operation by a predetermined key operation of the input device 16 when a character string is displayed on the display unit 15 (step S23-3a).

  Then, the temporary information management function 23 is placed after the cursor position is moved by the key operation indicating the cursor movement of the input device 16 or after the cursor position is moved by the predetermined key operation of the input device 16 without being moved. A character is set as a start point character (step S23-3b). Next, after the cursor position is moved by the key operation indicating the cursor movement of the input device 16, the character at which the cursor position is placed is set as the end point character by the predetermined key operation of the input device 16 (step S23-3c). ). Here, the start point character and the end point character do not matter which is in front of the character string displayed on the display unit 15 and which is behind the character string.

  The temporary information management function 23 sets the character string (including the start point character and the end point character) from the start point character set in step S23-3b to the end point character set in step S23-3c. In 31 m, the temporary information storage unit 31 stores the third temporary information 31 c in which “key operation” is set in the storage type 31 n, the operation time is stored in the storage date 31 g, and “0” is set in the number of use 31 i. (Step S23-3d). Here, no information is set for the use date 31h.

  If the third temporary information 31c already includes a character string 31m that is equal to the character string up to the end character set in step S23-3c, the temporary information management function 23 executes the third information The temporary information 31 c is not stored in the temporary information storage unit 31. Alternatively, the storage type 31n of the already included third temporary information 31c is updated to “key operation”, and the updated third temporary information 31c is stored in the temporary information storage unit 31.

  At the time of this update, the temporary information management function 23 does not update the use date 31h and the use count 31i, but keeps the value of the already included third temporary information 31c. This is because the situation used is important for estimating the possibility of subsequent use. The storage date 31g is updated to be the value of the third temporary information 31c set in step S23-3d. This is because the memory date 31g is important for estimating the possibility of subsequent use, but is not limited thereto. The selection is made depending on the sorting criteria of the third temporary information 31c.

  And the temporary information management function 23 memorize | stores the 3rd temporary information 31c, when the starting point character in the character string displayed on the display part 15 by predetermined | prescribed key operation of the input device 16 and an end point character are set. The operation is terminated (step S23-3e).

  The third temporary information 31c whose storage type 31n is “cursor position” is information copied from the first temporary information 31a, and the third temporary information 31c whose storage type 31n is “bookmark” 2 is copied from the temporary information 31b. These copying operations will be described later.

  When the storage capacity for storing the third temporary information 31c is determined, the temporary information management function 23 is operated by storing the third temporary information 31c in the temporary information storage unit 31 in step S23-3d. In order to store the third temporary information 31c in the determined storage capacity, the third temporary information 31c stored behind is deleted in order.

  The storage capacity for storing the third temporary information 31c is compared with the storage capacity for storing the first temporary information 31a and the storage capacity for storing the second temporary information 31b. Larger may be appropriate. This is because the device has a strong intention of the user to specify the start point character and the end point character. For this reason, since it is rarely forgotten over time, it is considered appropriate to store longer.

  On the other hand, it may be appropriate that the storage capacity is smaller than the storage capacity for storing the first temporary information 31a or the storage capacity for storing the second temporary information 31b. This is because one third temporary information 31c is stored by one operation of the user to store the third temporary information 31c. However, many of the first temporary information 31a and the second temporary information 31b may be stored by a single operation of the user. Therefore, compared to the first temporary information 31a and the second temporary information 31b, a lot of the third temporary information 31c is rarely stored.

  Note that the storage capacity for storing the third temporary information 31c is deleted after the third temporary information 31c is stored, regardless of the storage capacity for storing the third temporary information 31c. Is determined to be longer than the time from when the first temporary information 31a is stored until it is deleted, and longer than the time from when the second temporary information 31b is stored until it is deleted. Is appropriate. This is because the third temporary information 31c is stored based on a particularly strong intention of the user of the device, and it is considered appropriate to store the information for a long time.

(Operation of pasting unit character string 31d or character string 31m)
The temporary information management function 23 pastes a character string stored in the temporary information storage unit 31 as the first to third temporary information 31a to 31c according to a predetermined key operation of the input device 16, that is, as if the input device 16 The controller 11 performs an operation that is assumed to be input like a character string input in accordance with a key operation.

  FIG. 14 shows a flowchart of an operation of pasting a character string stored in the temporary information storage unit 31 as the first to third temporary information 31 a to 31 c in accordance with a predetermined key operation of the input device 16 by the temporary information management function 23. The temporary information management function 23 starts the above operation by a predetermined key operation of the input device 16 when a character string is displayed on the display unit 15 (step S23-4a).

  Then, information for identifying all or part of the unit character string 31d of the first temporary information 31a, the unit character string 31d of the second temporary information 31b, and the character string 31m of the third temporary information 31c is displayed. A list is displayed on the unit 15 (step S23-4b).

  Here, the unit character string 31d and the character string 31m themselves are information for identifying the unit character string 31d or the character string 31m, respectively. However, these can be long strings. Therefore, it is desirable to display information for identifying many character strings on the display unit 15 by limiting the unit character string 31d and the character string 31m to the first few characters of these character strings. When all of the information for identifying the character string cannot be displayed on the display unit 15, the display is scrolled by a predetermined key operation of the input device 16.

  Which of the three unit character strings 31d and the character string 31m is selected and displayed depends on a predetermined key operation of the input device 16. In addition, after displaying any one, the other may be displayed by a predetermined key operation of the input device 16.

  When any one of the three unit character strings 31d and the character string 31m is displayed, the display order of the unit character string 31d or the character string 31m included in the one unit character string 31d is the first to third. The sorted order in the temporary information 31a to 31c, that is, the order stored in them. That is, the one stored in the front is displayed first, and the one stored in the rear is displayed later.

  On the other hand, when a plurality of the three unit character strings 31d and the character string 31m are displayed, the display order of the unit character string 31d and / or the character string 31m is first set to any one of them. The order is to repeat displaying first and then displaying one other than the first displayed. The second display order is an order in which a plurality of items are merged, and those stored in the front after the merge are displayed first, and those stored in the rear are displayed later.

  In the case of merging, when the unit character string 31d and / or the character string 31m are sorted with the same criteria, they are merged while maintaining the criteria. On the other hand, if the criteria on which they are sorted are not equal, merge one after sorting the other according to the criteria on which any one is sorted. Then, what is stored forward after the merge is displayed first, and what is stored behind is displayed later.

  The temporary information management function 23 selects one of the displayed unit character string 31d and / or character string 31m according to a predetermined key operation of the input device 16 (step S23-4c). Then, the control unit 11 treats the selected unit character string 31d or character string 31m as if it was input via the input device 16 (step S23-4d).

  The operation of pasting the character string stored in the temporary information storage unit 31 by the temporary information management function 23 is performed in a state where characters can be input via the input device 16, for example, while the editor function 22 is operating. Therefore, the selected unit character string 31d or character string 31m is input to the editor function 22, for example, and is pasted into the character string displayed on the display unit 15 by the editor function 22.

  For example, in the character string displayed by the editor function 22 on the display unit 15, the unit character string 31d or the character string 31m selected immediately before or immediately after the character at which the cursor is placed is pasted. . For this reason, the editor function 22 may move the cursor position by a predetermined key operation of the input device 16 prior to the operation of step S23-4d.

  The temporary information management function 23 checks in which of the first to third temporary information 31a to 31c the selected unit character string 31d or character string 31m is stored (step S23-4e). If it is included only in the third temporary information 31c, the operation time is set in the use date 31h associated with the selected character string 31m, and a value obtained by adding 1 to the value of the use count 31i is set. The number of uses 31i is set, the third temporary information 31c is sorted, and then updated and stored in the temporary information storage unit 31 (step S23-4f). And the operation | movement which pastes the character string memorize | stored as 1st-3rd temporary information 31a-31c is complete | finished (step S23-4g).

  On the other hand, if it is included in the first temporary information 31a in step S23-4e, the temporary information management function 23 sets the operation time to the use date 31h associated with the selected unit character string 31d. The value is set, a value obtained by adding 1 to the value of the number of times of use 31i is set, the first temporary information 31a is sorted, and updated and stored in the temporary information storage unit 31 (step S23-4h).

  There may be a plurality of first temporary information 31a including the selected unit character string 31d. Therefore, when displaying the unit character string 31d in step S23-4c, the temporary information management function 23 does not need to display the storage date 31g associated with the unit character string 31d, but also stores it. In the operation of step S23-4h, one first temporary information 31a is searched by the selected unit character string 31d and the stored storage date 31g.

  Subsequently, the temporary information management function 23 updates or adds the third temporary information 31c (step S23-4i). That is, the third temporary information 31c is searched using the search condition that the selected unit character string 31d is equal to the character string 31m.

  When the third temporary information 31c is obtained by the search, the temporary information management function 23 sets the operation time to the use date 31h of the third temporary information 31c, and sets the value of the use count 31i to 1. Then, the third temporary information 31c is sorted and updated and stored in the temporary information storage unit 31. Here, the storage type 31n is not updated, but may be updated to “cursor position”. Further, the “cursor position” may be stored together. The storage date 31g may or may not be updated. For example, it is assumed that both of them are in the near past. These options are selected depending on the sorting criteria of the third temporary information 31c.

  On the other hand, when the third temporary information 31c cannot be obtained by the search, the temporary information management function 23 selects the selected unit character string 31d as the character string 31m, “cursor position” as the storage type 31n, and the selected unit. The storage date 31g associated with the character string 31d and included in the first temporary information 31a is the storage date 31g, the operation time is the use date 31h, and "1" is used 31i. The third temporary information 31c set in the above is added, and the third temporary information 31c is sorted and stored in the temporary information storage unit 31. And the operation | movement which pastes the character string memorize | stored as 1st-3rd temporary information 31a-31c is complete | finished (step S23-4g).

  In step S23-4e, if it is included in the second temporary information 31b, the temporary information management function 23 similarly performs the operations of step S23-4h, step S23-4i, and step S23-4g. However, in step S23-4h, the second temporary information 31b is searched, and the searched second temporary information 31b is updated and stored. In step S23-4i, when the third temporary information 31c is additionally stored in the temporary information storage unit 31, “bookmark” is set as the storage type 31n. In addition, “bookmark” may be updated, and “bookmark” may be stored together.

  In the above description, the temporary information management function 23 is displayed when the cursor position is not moved over a predetermined time, when a bookmark is set, and when a start point character and an end point character are specified. Although a character string of a predetermined unit is obtained from a character string in a predetermined range in the character string and stored in the temporary information storage unit 31, the present invention is not limited to this. The character string in the predetermined range may be deleted from the displayed character string. Alternatively, the character string stored in the temporary information storage unit 31 may be deleted from the displayed character string.

  In the above description, the first temporary information 31a and the second temporary information 31b are stored separately in the temporary information storage unit 31, but the present invention is not limited to this. Since they are composed of the same information, they can be easily combined and stored.

  In the case of storing them in combination, it is desirable to store them so that it is possible to identify the trigger when each temporary information is stored, that is, that the cursor position is not moved over a predetermined time and the setting of the bookmark. This is because, as already described, it is preferable to determine whether or not to store for a long time depending on the stored trigger, but the present invention is not limited to this. Even if the trigger cannot be identified, there is no problem in the operation of the apparatus.

  In the above description, it is assumed that the character string is an e-mail address, a subject, or a text, and the character string is displayed and input on the display unit 15 by the editor function 22, but the present invention is not limited to this. Absent. Naturally, the present invention can be applied to any function for displaying a character string and any function for inputting a character string, regardless of the content of the character string.

  Although the above description has been made taking an example in which the present invention is applied to a mobile communication device, the present invention is not limited to this. The present invention can naturally be applied to all information processing apparatuses that handle documents, such as personal computers and PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants). It should be noted that the effectiveness of the present invention is not lost even in a device in which the number of keys used for character input is large or a device in which characters are input by means other than keys. The present invention is not limited to the above configuration, and various modifications are possible.
