(Operation of the embodiment)
Hereinafter, the operation of the mobile terminal device 1 according to the present embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

  When the CPU 100 detects that a part of the character string displayed on the screen of the display 11 has been cut or copied when editing the character string (step S101 “Yes”), the cut or copied character string. Is controlled so as to be temporarily displayed in a display form different from other displayed character strings without deleting (erasing) (step S102). That is, the CPU 100 performs attribute processing for character modification such as color change, highlighting by bold (bold) display, etc., and outputs the result to the image processing unit 102.

  The image processing unit 102 generates display information based on the character string output from the CPU 100 and its modification attribute information, and writes the display information in the built-in VRAM 102a. Subsequently, the display control unit 120 reads the display information from the VRAM 102a built in the image processing unit 102 in synchronization with the display timing of the display 11 (liquid crystal panel 11a), and outputs it to the display 11 (liquid crystal panel 11a). For example, a desired display partially colored as shown in FIG. 4 is obtained. Details will be described later.

  In addition, when displaying the cut or copied character string in a display form different from other character strings, the CPU 100 encloses the character string in special parentheses or displays a small icon (pict display). It is possible to emphasize it.

  Subsequently, when a cut or copy for another character string is detected (step S103 “Yes”), the CPU 100 displays the character string that has been cut or copied most recently in a highlighted display different from the previous highlighted display. . That is, the character string detected in the most recent step S103 is displayed in red (highlighted display 1), for example, and the character string detected in the previous step S101 is displayed in blue (highlighted display 2) (for example). Step S104). That is, every time a character string is cut or copied, the CPU 100 sequentially displays the character string that is different from the character string that has been cut or copied most recently.

Next, when the CPU 100 detects the paste of the character string (step S105 “Yes”), the pasted character string is displayed in, for example, purple (highlighted display 3) at the designated position, and another character string is displayed. A distinction is made (step S106). That is, the CPU 100 temporarily displays the pasted character string on the display 11 in a display form different from other character strings. Then, the CPU 100 is a character string that has been cut first (step S1).
07 “Yes”), after a predetermined time has elapsed (step S 108 “Yes”), the character string is deleted from the cut portion.

  Lastly, the CPU 100 detects the end of editing by pasting a cut or copied character string, or the pressing of a button indicating the end of editing that is assigned to a partial area of the screen of the display 11 and displayed. In this case, the temporary display of the character string highlighted on the display 11 screen is canceled, and the final character string after editing is displayed.

  Here, the character editing method in the mobile terminal device according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to cut and paste. FIG. 4 shows a display image in that case in time series. Here, it is assumed that the edit target character string “I will go to Tokyo tomorrow” is displayed on the screen of the display 11 of the mobile terminal device 1.

  In this state, it is assumed that the user first touches the touch panel TP and cuts the character string “Tomorrow” from these character strings. Then, the mobile terminal device 1 highlights the cut character string “Tomorrow” and distinguishes it from other character strings. Subsequently, it is assumed that the user cuts (b) “Tokyo”. At this time, the character string “Tokyo” that has been cut most recently is displayed as distinguished from the other character strings by highlight 1, and the character string “Tomorrow” that was previously highlighted is changed to highlight 2.

  Next, it is assumed that the user pastes (c) the character string “To Tokyo” at the beginning of the sentence. At this time, the mobile terminal device 1 (d) distinguishes the character string “To Tokyo” from the other character strings by highlighting 3 and pastes it at the beginning of the sentence and pastes the character string “To Tokyo”, for example, for 5 seconds. The highlighting of the character string “Tokyo” that was temporarily displayed even though it has been cut is canceled. However, the highlighting of other character strings continues at this time. Finally, the mobile terminal device 1 waits for (e) the end of text editing or an instruction to cancel highlighting by pressing a button, and cancels highlighting of all character strings. (F) Final edited character string Get “To Tokyo tomorrow”.
