Description

  The present invention relates to an information communication apparatus capable of a paste operation.

  Conventionally, information such as text, pictures, and photos created with a tool can be temporarily stored in a buffer by a copy operation, and then pasted to save the trouble of creating the same information again. Various information communication apparatuses such as PCs, notebook PCs, tablet PCs, mobile phones, and smartphones have been developed. Various techniques for improving user convenience when creating a document such as an e-mail using a small information communication device such as a smartphone have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart for explaining a copy and paste operation in a conventional information communication apparatus. The information input by operating the operation unit is copied (step S301), and the copied information is pasted (step S302). At this time, since only part of the pasted information may be necessary information, the user determines whether all pasted information is necessary information (step S303). If all the pasted information is necessary (step S303-Yes), the paste is completed. On the other hand, when unnecessary information is included in the pasted information (step S303-No), it is necessary to move the cursor to select a deletion part (step S304) and execute deletion (step S305). .

JP 2008-84119 A

  However, in the conventional technique, it is not possible to paste only a necessary part of the copied character string. Therefore, the user once pastes the entire copied input information including the necessary part, and then performs an operation such as deleting and using the unnecessary part as in steps S304 and S305 described above. I had to copy only a string of characters. In particular, it is difficult to perform such detailed information operations (selection of a part to be deleted, etc.) in a small information device such as a smartphone, which places a heavy load on the user and feels stress.

  An object of the present invention made in view of such circumstances is to provide an information communication apparatus capable of improving the operability and convenience of an information communication apparatus inferior in information input operability.

In order to solve the above problems, an information communication apparatus according to the present invention provides:

It is characterized by providing.

  Further, in the information communication apparatus according to the present invention, when a part of the copy unit information is selected, the control unit does not select the selected information or the copy unit information. Information is displayed in the input information display area.

  In the information communication apparatus according to the present invention, when a part of the copy unit information is selected, the control unit converts the copy unit information into selected information and unselected information. It has the division means to divide | segment, It is characterized by the above-mentioned.

  In the information communication apparatus according to the present invention, the control unit includes a rearranging unit that rearranges the order of the copy unit information to be displayed in the copy information display area.

  Further, in the information communication apparatus according to the present invention, the rearranger rearranges the copy unit information so that the copy unit information is displayed higher than the current state when the copy unit information is pasted in the input information display area. It is characterized by that.

  Also, in the information communication apparatus according to the present invention, the rearranging means rearranges so that the copy unit information having a larger number of times of pasting in the input information display area is displayed higher.

  Also, in the information communication apparatus according to the present invention, the rearranging means rearranges based on the length of the character string of the copy unit information.

  In the information communication apparatus according to the present invention, the rearranging means rearranges the copy unit information including the character string input in the input information display area so that the copy unit information is displayed at the top. .

  Further, in the information communication apparatus according to the present invention, the rearranging unit divides the copy unit information by the dividing unit, and when there are a plurality of the same copy unit information, In the copy information display area, only the copy unit information displayed at the top is deleted, others are deleted, and rearranged so that the remaining copy unit information is displayed at a higher level than the current state. .

  In the information communication apparatus according to the present invention, the rearranging unit determines an attribute of information to be input to the input information display area, and arranges so that copy unit information related to the attribute is displayed at the highest level. It is characterized by changing.

  According to the present invention, instead of inputting a character string to form a body, a new character input style is established in which a body is formed by reusing a character string that has been input in the past. It can be simplified. Thus, it is possible to improve the operability and convenience in the information communication apparatus that is inferior in operability of information input.

  The information communication apparatus according to the present invention displays copyable information (hereinafter referred to as “copy information”) on the display unit, and can select information to be pasted from the displayed copy information. Copy information must be stored in advance. In an information communication apparatus that is inferior in information input operability, it takes time to input and create copy information. Therefore, the information communication apparatus according to the present invention can be configured to acquire copy information from another information communication apparatus excellent in information input operability.

[Information communication system]
An information communication system when the information communication apparatus according to the present invention is configured to acquire copy information from another information communication apparatus excellent in information input operability will be described. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of an information communication apparatus system including an information communication apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the information communication system 1 includes a first information communication device 10, one or more second information communication devices 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and a server 30. In FIG. 1, three second information communication devices 20-1, 20-2, and 20-3 are shown.

  The first information communication device 10 includes an input interface large enough to perform an input operation as compared with the second information communication device 20 such as a desktop PC or a notebook PC, and is excellent in information input operability. It is a communication device. The first information communication apparatus 10 copies the input information (characters, images, photographs, etc.) that has been input, and generates copy information. The copy information is temporarily stored in the first information communication apparatus 10. Then, the first information communication device 10 transmits copy information to the server 30.

  The server 30 is a shared server that is connected to the first information communication device 10 and the second information communication device 20 and is accessible from the first information communication device 10 and the second information communication device 20. The server 30 transmits the copy information received from the first information communication device 10 to the second information communication device 20. In the present embodiment, an example in which the first information communication apparatus 10 transmits copy information to the second information communication apparatus 20 via the server 30 will be described. However, wireless communication using infrared rays or Bluetooth without providing the server 30. For example, the first information communication apparatus 10 may directly transmit the copy information to the second information communication apparatus 20.

  The second information communication device 20 is a small information communication device such as a tablet PC, a mobile phone, or a smartphone that has a smaller input interface than the first information communication device 10 and is inferior in information input operability. Since the present invention is characterized by paste processing when an application capable of inputting and displaying characters, images, photographs, etc. is started (hereinafter, the mode for starting the application is also referred to as “input mode”), Although the description will focus on the input mode, the second information communication device 20 can have various applications such as a telephone, a game, music viewing, and Internet connection depending on the application. Although details will be described later, the second information communication device 20 displays the copy information received from the server 30 when the input mode is selected. The user can paste by selecting specific information from the copy information. In addition, the user of the 1st information communication apparatus 10 and the 2nd information communication apparatus 20 does not necessarily need to be the same.

  Next, the operation of the information communication system 1 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the information communication system. First, the server 30 registers one or more second information communication apparatuses 20 that can share copy information based on an operation by a user (step S101). The first information communication device 10 designates the second information communication device 20 to share the copy information from the one or more second information communication devices 20 registered in step S101 based on the operation by the user (step S102). . Note that step S102 may be performed between step S103 and step S104 described below.

  The first information communication device 10 generates copy information based on an operation by the user (step S103). For example, start a document creation application to enter characters or open a created sentence, select a range to perform a copy operation, or start a web browser to select a range from a web page and perform a copy operation. Copy information is generated by performing a copy operation by opening or specifying an image by starting an image browsing application. Then, the first information communication apparatus 10 transmits the generated copy information to the server 30 (Step S104).

  The server 30 receives the copy information transmitted from the first information communication apparatus 10 in step S104, and transmits the received copy information to the second information communication apparatus 20 designated in step S102 (step S105). For example, if the second information communication devices 20-1, 20-2, 20-3 are registered in step S101, and the second information communication devices 20-1, 20-2 are specified in step S102, As shown in FIG. 1, the server 30 transmits copy information only to the second information communication devices 20-1 and 20-2.

  When the second information communication apparatus 20 receives the copy information in step S105, the second information communication apparatus 20 stores the copy information (step S106). When the input mode is selected by a user operation (step S107), the second information communication device 20 displays the copy information stored in step S106 (step S108). The display of the copy information in step S108 may be displayed after the paste function is called by a user operation, or may be automatically displayed at the same time as the input mode is selected. When predetermined information is selected by the user from the copy information displayed in step S108, the selected information is pasted into the input information display area. That is, the user of the second information communication device 20 can perform pasting only by selecting information to be pasted from the displayed copy information without starting an application separately for performing a copy operation.

[Second information communication device]
Next, a second information communication apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of the second information communication apparatus. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the second information communication device 20 includes an operation unit 21, a display unit 22, a storage unit 23, a communication unit 24, and a control unit 25.

  The communication unit 24 transmits / receives data to / from other information communication devices via a network. In the example of the information communication system 1 illustrated in FIG. 1, the communication unit 24 transmits / receives data to / from the server 30, but can also transmit / receive data directly to / from the first information communication apparatus 10. When the user directly inputs the copy information from the operation unit 21 to the second information communication device 20 without acquiring the copy information from the external information communication device, the communication unit 24 is not an essential configuration.

  The operation unit 21 is an input interface such as a keyboard or a touch panel. In the input mode, the operation unit 21 inputs information when an operation key is pressed by the user or when the touch panel is touched by the user.

  The storage unit 23 stores various types of input information, a program for operating the second information communication device 20, and the like, and also functions as a work memory. The storage unit 23 sequentially stores copy information created by the first information communication device 10 or copy information directly input from the user, and stores it as an aggregate of copy unit information composed of a plurality of character strings. To do. Specifically, the copy information transmitted at a time from the first information communication apparatus 10 or the copy information input at a time from the user is set as copy unit information. For example, when the information “Today is back on time” and “How are you?” Are transmitted twice from the first information communication device 10, the storage unit 23 stores “Today is back on time. Copy unit information “How are you?” And copy unit information “How are you?” Are stored. However, the copy unit information can be divided later or connected to other copy unit information.

  The display unit 22 is configured using, for example, a liquid crystal display panel (LCD), an organic EL display panel, or the like. The display unit 22 includes an input information display area 221 that displays input information that has been input, and a copy information display area 222 that displays copy information stored in the storage unit 23. The input information display area 221 and the copy information display area 222 are set to arbitrary areas on the display unit 22 under the control of the control unit 25.

  The control unit 25 controls operations of the operation unit 21, the display unit 22, the storage unit 23, and the communication unit 24. The control unit 25 includes an input information control unit 251 and a copy information control unit 252. When an input mode (an application capable of inputting characters or the like) is selected, the input information control unit 251 activates the application and displays the input characters in the input information display area 221 of the display unit 22.

  When the input mode is selected, the copy information control unit 252 displays the copy information stored in the storage unit 23 immediately after that or after an operation for displaying the copy information is performed. It is displayed in the display area 222. Then, the copy information control unit 252 pastes the information selected by the user from the copy information displayed in the copy information display area 222 and displays it in the input information display area 221. Thereby, the paste of the selected information is completed. When the range to be pasted is selected from the copy information displayed in the copy information display area 222, the copy unit information can be selected. It is also possible to select and paste only a part of the copy unit information. Further, the copy information control unit 252 can delete a part of copy information to be displayed in the copy information display area 222 or rearrange the display order based on a user instruction.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the second information communication device 20. As described with reference to FIG. 1, copy information is acquired from another information communication device, or copy information is generated by operating the operation unit 21, and the copy information is stored in the storage unit 23 (step S <b> 201). Next, when the input mode is selected, the input information control unit 251 activates the application and displays the input characters in the input information display area 221. Then, the copy information control unit 252 causes the copy information stored in the storage unit 23 to be displayed in the copy information display area 222. When specific information is selected by the user from the copy information displayed in the copy information display area 222, the copy information control unit 252 pastes the selected information in the input information display area 221 for display. This completes the paste process.

  When the past processing by the conventional information communication device and the past processing by the second information communication device 20 are compared, the past processing by the second information communication device 20 is an unnecessary part from the pasted information generated during the past processing. The process of selecting and deleting is unnecessary. In a small-sized information communication apparatus, a fine operation with a finger is required to obtain a result desired by a user by selecting an unnecessary portion. Since this operation places a heavy load on the user, operability and convenience are improved by skipping this process.

  Next, a display example of the display unit of the second information communication device will be described. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a first display example of the display unit 22 of the second information communication device 20. FIG. 5A shows a state in which an e-mail application is activated, an input information display area 221 is displayed on the display unit 22, and “I will contact my current address” is entered in the text. FIG. 5B shows a state in which the paste function is called by a predetermined operation and the copy information display area 222 is displayed in the input information display area 221. The copy information control unit 252 displays copy information such as “Miyamae Kodai in Kawasaki City × − × − ×”, “Today will return on time”, and “Tomorrow is bowling” in the copy information display area 222. Display for each. When the copy unit information “Kawasaki City Miyamae Odai ××××” is selected from the copy information display area 222, the copy information control unit 252 selects the selected copy unit as shown in FIG. Information is displayed in the input information display area 221.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a second display example of the display unit 22 of the second information communication device 20. In the example illustrated in FIG. 6, the copy information display area 222 is displayed side by side below the input information display area 221. The display in the copy information display area 222 can be switched on / off. If the amount of accumulated copy information is large, a part of the copy information is displayed in the copy information display area 222. In the example shown in FIG. 8, as copy information, “Today will return on time”, “How are you?”, And “XX Corporation △△△△ Business Headquarters □□□□□” The copy unit information “general division xxx section” and “gathered in the tama plaza at 7 o'clock” are stored (registered), and these copy information is displayed in the copy information display area 222. Note that a space may be displayed for each copy unit information.

  In the example shown in FIG. 6, since the copy information exceeds the amount that can be displayed at once in the copy information display area 222, among the copy information, “Today will return on time. How are you? The information “△△△ Business Headquarters □□□□□ Supervision Division ×” is displayed in the copy information display area 222. In addition, since there is information that cannot be displayed yet in the copy information display area 222, only the upper half of the character string is displayed on the last line of the copy information display area 222 so that the character string can be predicted to some extent. ing. Information that is not displayed in the copy information display area 222 can be displayed in the copy information display area 222 by an operation such as scrolling the screen.

  Next, copy information paste processing will be described. When a range to be pasted is selected by a predetermined operation in the copy information displayed in the copy information display area 222, the copy information control unit 252 pastes the selected copy information in the input information display area 221. Display. The range to be pasted can be selected by tracing if the operation unit 21 is configured by a touch panel, and by specifying the range by key operation when the display unit 22 is configured by a keyboard. You can choose.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a paste operation when the copy information shown in FIG. 6 is displayed in the copy information display area 222. In this example, the range to be pasted is selected by tracing only the information to be pasted from the copy information with an operating tool (such as a finger or a pen). In FIG. 7A, “Good morning” is entered in the input information display area 221, and then the character string “XXX” is selected as a paste range by tracing with a finger. It shows the state that was done. When a range to be pasted is selected from the copy information, as shown in FIG. 7B, the copy information control unit 252 converts the selected copy information “XXX” into the input information. It is displayed on the display area 221.

  The copy information displayed in the copy information display area 222 can be pasted by various methods without being limited to the method described above. For example, information other than the selected location may be pasted in the copy unit information. In the case of this method, when the character “corporation” is selected from the character string “Is XX Co., Ltd.”, the copy information control unit 252 does not select the character “I am XXX”. The column is displayed in the input information display area 221.

  Note that the copy information control unit 252 performs the same processing whether the selected direction is from left to right or from right to left. That is, even when the screen is traced from the right to the left, the copy information control unit 252 displays the selected character string in the input information display area 221 in the order from left to right. The copy information control unit 252 displays the selected character in the input information display area 221 even when one character is selected from the copy information, as in the case where the character is traced. When the operation unit 21 is configured with a touch panel, the copy information control unit 252 touches the copy unit that is touched when the user flicks upward or downward after touching the copy unit information. Information may be displayed in the input information display area 221.

  Further, regarding the copy unit information, whether to paste the selected information or to paste other than the selected information may be assigned to a specific operation and specified by the user. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a paste operation. Here, an example is shown in which a part of the character string “This is XXX Corporation”, which is copy unit information, is pasted.

  FIG. 8A shows a state in which “corporation” is selected from the copy unit information. Then, as shown in FIG. 8B, the copy information control unit 252 replaces the character string “Is XX Co., Ltd.” with the selected character string “Co., Ltd.” and other character strings. It is decomposed into “It is ○○○”. Then, it is determined according to a specific operation whether to paste “Corporation”, which is the selected character string, or to paste “Is XXX”, which is the other character string. For example, as shown in FIGS. 8C and 8D, when a flick operation is performed by touching the target copy information and sliding upward, “Is XXX” is pasted, If the copy information is touched and a flick operation is performed to slide downward, “Co., Ltd.” is pasted.

  Next, the copy unit information dividing process will be described. In the initial state, copy information registered at a time by the user is used as copy unit information. Thereafter, the copy information control unit 252 can divide the copy unit information based on a user operation. Further, when only a part of the copy unit information is selected, the copy unit information may be divided into a plurality of copy unit information. For example, when the copy unit information in the initial state is a character string “Is XX Co., Ltd.”, when “Corporation” is pasted, the copy unit information “Is XX Co., Ltd.” The information may be divided into three pieces of copy unit information “XX”, “corporation”, and “Isao”. Whether to divide the copy unit information in this way can be set in advance by mode setting.

  However, if a relatively long and semantically organized character structure such as proper nouns, addresses and telephone numbers is divided, the paste value may be reduced when the copy information is rearranged. Therefore, when only a part of the copy unit information is selected, whether to divide the copy unit information may be assigned to a specific operation and specified by the user. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of copy unit information division processing. Here, an example is shown in which a part of the character string “This is XXX Corporation”, which is the copy unit information, is pasted and the copy unit information is divided.

  FIG. 9A shows a state in which “XXX” and “Is” are selected from the copy unit information. Then, as shown in FIG. 9B, the copy information control unit 252 converts the character string “XX Corporation” to the selected character string and the other characters “XX”, Disassembled into “corporation” and “is”. Then, it is determined according to a specific operation whether the copy unit information is divided into three “XXX”, “stock”, and “Is” or not. For example, as shown in FIGS. 9 (c) and 9 (d), if a flick operation is performed by touching the target copy unit information and sliding upward, “I am XXX” or “Inc.” Is copied, the copy unit information is divided into three, and if the flick operation is performed by touching the target copy information and sliding downward, the copy unit information is not divided, and “○○○ Paste "or" Inc. "

  Next, copy information rearrangement processing will be described. In the initial state, the copy information control unit 252 displays the copy information in the copy information display area 222 in order from the earliest date when the copy information was created. Thereafter, the copy information control unit 252 can rearrange the copy unit information for each copy unit information based on the user's operation. However, the copy unit information may be automatically rearranged according to a predetermined rule. Some examples of automatically rearranging the copy unit information are shown below.

  In the first example of the copy unit information rearrangement process, when the copy unit information is pasted in the input information display area 221, the copy information control unit 252 places the copy unit information higher than the current state (for example, the highest). Sort so that it appears in When the copy unit information is divided, it is rearranged in the unit after division.

  In the second example of the copy unit information rearrangement process, the copy information control unit 252 rearranges the copy unit information that is pasted in the input information display area 221 so that the copy unit information is displayed higher.

  In the third example of the copy unit information rearrangement process, the copy information control unit 252 rearranges based on the length (number of characters) of the character string of the copy unit information. For example, the information is rearranged so that the copy unit information having a longer character string length is displayed higher.

  In the fourth example of the copy unit information rearrangement process, the copy information control unit 252 estimates the character string to be input next from the character string already input to the input information display area 221, and increases the probability. Sort based on. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a fourth example of copy information rearrangement processing. As shown in FIG. 10, when “Tomorrow is” is input in the input information display area 221, the copy information control unit 252 includes copy unit information that includes the characters “Tomorrow is” and includes a continuous character string. Search for. When copy unit information “Tomorrow is sunny” that matches the search condition is found, the copy unit information is rearranged so that it is displayed at the top.

  In the fifth example of the copy unit information rearrangement process, the copy information control unit 252 preferentially displays the existing character strings. FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a fifth example of copy information rearrangement processing. When the copy unit information dividing process described above is performed, the copy unit information may be duplicated as a result of the division. In FIG. 11A, the copy unit information “Tomorrow is” is duplicated. When there is duplicate copy unit information in this way, the copy information control unit 252 deletes the other copy units, leaving only the copy unit information displayed at the top. Further, as shown in FIG. 11B, the duplicate copy unit information may be determined to be frequently used and rearranged so that it is displayed at a higher rank (for example, the highest rank) than the current state.

  In the sixth example of the copy unit information sorting process, the copy information control unit 252 sorts based on whether or not the information type of the input frame of personal information such as name, address, telephone number, and mail address matches. Change. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a sixth example of copy information rearrangement processing. On web pages, etc., there is an opportunity to enter personal information. In this case, attributes of information to be input such as name, address, telephone number, and mail address are specified in the input field. The copy information control unit 252 determines an attribute of information to be input, and searches for copy unit information related to the attribute. For example, when storing the copy unit information in the storage unit 23, the copy information control unit 252 can search for copy unit information related to the attribute by storing the attribute in association with each other.

  As shown in FIG. 12, when the cursor is in the input field having the attribute “name”, the copy information control unit 252 searches the copy information unit associated with the attribute “name” to search for “Taro XX”. ”And rearrange them so that the copy information units are displayed at the top. Further, when there is no copy information unit associated with the attribute, the copy information control unit 252 may automatically perform association when information is input in the input field.

  The proposed method provides users with a new character input method by accumulating character strings that have been entered once or by providing a mechanism that allows smart input information to be transferred from a large device with excellent input to a small device. Can be proposed. A character string once entered and a copied character string are displayed to the user, and the user's desired character is extracted from the text and reflected in the text. Thus, there is an input method different from the conventional direct input + predictive conversion. realizable. In the past, it was difficult to achieve this because it was not possible to select characters by character as in this proposal.

  As described above, the second information communication apparatus 20 according to the present embodiment stores the copy information that can be copied in the storage unit 23, displays the stored copy information in the copy information display area 222, and displays the copy information. The selected information of the copy information is pasted and displayed in the input information display area 221. For this reason, according to the 2nd information communication apparatus 20, the effort which inputs information in the 2nd information communication apparatus 20 can be reduced, and paste operation can be performed easily. Thus, it is possible to improve the operability and convenience in the information communication apparatus that is inferior in operability of information input.

  When a part of the copy unit information is selected, the control unit 25 displays the selected information or the unselected information of the copy unit information in the input information display area 221. . For this reason, the paste operation can be performed without the restriction of pasting for each copied unit.

  Further, the control unit 25 includes a dividing unit that divides the copy unit information into information that is not selected and information that is not selected when a part of the copy unit information is selected. For this reason, the copy unit information can be a unit of information that is actually used for pasting, and can be a unit that conforms to the actual operation status.

  In addition, the control unit 25 includes rearranging means for rearranging the order of the copy unit information displayed in the copy information display area 222. In the first example, when the copy unit information is pasted in the input information display area 221, the rearranger rearranges the copy unit information so that the copy unit information is displayed higher than the current state. In the second example, the information is rearranged so that the copy unit information having a larger number of times of pasting in the input information display area 221 is displayed higher. In the third example, sorting is performed based on the length of the character string of the copy unit information. In the fourth example, the copy unit information including the character string input in the input information display area 221 is rearranged so as to be displayed at the top. In the fifth example, when the copy unit information is divided by the dividing unit, and there are a plurality of the same copy unit information, the copy information is displayed at the top in the copy information display area 222 among the same copy unit information. Remaining copy unit information is deleted, others are deleted, and rearranged so that the remaining copy unit information is displayed higher than the current level. In the sixth example, the attribute of the information to be input in the input information display area 221 is determined, and rearranged so that the copy unit information related to the attribute is displayed at the top. In this way, since the copy unit information that is highly likely to be pasted can be displayed at the upper level, the user can save the trouble of searching for necessary information from the copy information displayed in the copy information display area 222. Furthermore, operability and convenience can be improved.

  Although the above embodiments have been described as representative examples, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that many changes and substitutions can be made within the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, the present invention should not be construed as being limited by the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the claims.
