  As illustrated in FIG. 7, the controller 10 determines whether an operation on the tag displayed on the notification screen 50 is detected via the touch screen 21 (step S201). The operation on the sticky note may be any operation such as touch, tap or swipe.

  As a result of the determination, if the operation on the tag is not detected (No at Step S201), the controller 10 ends without proceeding with the processing procedure shown in FIG.

  On the other hand, if the controller 10 detects an operation on the tag as a result of the determination (step S201, Yes), the controller 10 displays the tag editing screen 60b (see FIG. 4 or 5) on the display 2 (step S202).

  Subsequently, the controller 10 determines whether a user operation other than character input is detected (step S203).

  If the user operation other than the character input is not detected as a result of the determination (step S203, No), the controller 10 again performs the operation of step S203 with the arrival of the next determination timing in the predetermined polling cycle. Make a decision.

  On the other hand, if the user operation other than the character input is detected as a result of the determination (step S203, Yes), the controller 10 performs an operation on the save button provided on the tag edit screen 60b. It is determined whether or not (step S204). The operation on the save button may be any operation such as touch, tap, or swipe.

  If the result of determination is that the operation is for the save button (step S204, Yes), the controller 10 displays the updated sticky note on the notification screen 50 (step S205), and ends the processing procedure shown in FIG. To do.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the operation is not an operation for the save button (No in step S204), the controller 10 determines whether the operation is for the delete button (step S206).

  If the result of determination is that the operation is for a delete button (step S206, Yes), the controller 10 displays a notification screen 50 in which the corresponding tag has been deleted on the display 2 (step S207), and the processing shown in FIG. End the procedure.

  On the other hand, if the result of determination is that the operation is not an operation on the delete button (No at Step S206), the controller 10 displays the lock screen 40 on the display 2 (Step S208) and ends the processing procedure of FIG. That is, if the operation by the user is not an operation for the save button and the delete button, the controller 10 determines that an operation not related to the tag editing is performed, for example, and temporarily displays the lock screen 40. The purpose is to return.

  As illustrated in FIG. 9, when the controller 10 detects an operation on the icon 40b displayed on the lock screen 40 via the touch screen 21, the controller 10 executes the character input application 9D (step S301).

  Subsequently, the controller 10 displays a tag creation screen 60a on the display 2 in response to detection of an operation on the icon 70a corresponding to the tag application 9E displayed on the execution screen 70 of the character input application 9D (step S302). . In the sticky note creation screen 60a displayed on the display 2 in step S302, for example, a character input by the character input application 9D is taken over (see FIG. 8 and the like).

  Subsequently, the controller 10 determines whether a user operation other than character input is detected (step S303).

  If the user operation other than the character input is not detected as a result of the determination (No at Step S303), the controller 10 again performs the process at Step S303 in response to the arrival of the next determination timing in a predetermined polling cycle. Make a decision.

  On the other hand, when the controller 10 detects a user operation other than the character input as a result of the determination (step S303, Yes), the user operation is an operation on the save button provided on the tag creation screen 60a. It is determined whether or not (step S304). The operation for the save button may be an arbitrary operation such as touch, tap, or swipe, similarly to the operation for the tag addition button (+ add).

  If the result of determination is that the operation is for the save button (step S304, Yes), the controller 10 displays a notification screen 50 with a sticky note on the display 2 (step S305), and the processing procedure shown in FIG. Exit.

  On the other hand, if the result of determination is that the operation is not for the save button (No at step S304), the controller 10 determines whether or not the operation is for the cancel button (step S306).

  If the result of determination is that the operation is for the cancel button (step S306, Yes), the controller 10 displays a notification screen 50 on which no sticky note is pasted on the display 2 (step S307), as shown in FIG. The processing procedure ends.

  On the other hand, if the result of determination is that the operation is not an operation on the cancel button (No at Step S306), the controller 10 displays the lock screen 40 on the display 2 (Step S308) and ends the processing procedure of FIG. That is, if the operation by the user is not an operation for the save button and the cancel button, the controller 10 determines that an operation not related to creation of a sticky note is performed, for example, and temporarily displays the lock screen 40. The purpose is to return.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, the smartphone 1 is a sticky note in a state in which a character input by the character input application 9D is taken over in response to an operation received on the execution screen 70 of the character input application 9D. The creation screen is displayed on the display 2. For this reason, according to Embodiment 2, the text containing the character input using character input application 9D can be directly displayed on display 2 from character application 9D.

  As in the second embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the example in which the tag creation screen is displayed from the character input application 9D being executed. For example, a shortcut key or an icon of the tag application 9E is provided on the lock screen 40, and a tag creation screen is displayed on the display 2 when the shortcut key of the tag application 9E is operated on the lock screen 40. May be.

  The characterizing embodiments have been described in order to fully and clearly disclose the technology according to the appended claims. However, the appended claims should not be limited to the above-described embodiments, but all modifications and alternatives that can be created by those skilled in the art within the scope of the basic matters shown in this specification. Should be embodied by a simple configuration.

  For example, each program shown in FIG. 1 may be divided into a plurality of modules. Alternatively, each program shown in FIG. 1 may be combined with another program.

  In the above embodiment, a smartphone has been described as an example of a device including a touch screen, but the device according to the appended claims is not limited to a smartphone.
