The configuration may be such that a predetermined character or a predetermined image is deleted from characters or images included in the range from the first position P1 to the second position P2.

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the control unit 17 performs a range R from the first position P <b> 1 to the second position P <b> 2 by so-called single touch in the sentence creation area A. In response to the sliding operation (sweep operation) being performed, a predetermined character or the like (C1 in the example shown in FIG. 6A) is deleted.

  Therefore, the mobile phone 1 can delete a predetermined character or a predetermined image by intuitive operation after creating a sentence.

  Further, the control unit 17 detects the contact with the first position P1 and the second position P2 and then maintains the contact from the first position P1 to the second position P2. When the movement of the contact is detected, the configuration may be such that the predetermined character or the predetermined image is deleted from the character or the image included in the range R from the first position P1 to the second position P2.

  Specifically, the control unit 17 sets the first position P1 and the second position P2 in response to the contact of two arbitrary places in the text creation area A, and then the first position P1. A predetermined character or the like is deleted in response to detection of contact in the direction from the position P1 to the second position P2. The contact direction may be other than the direction from the first position P1 to the second position P2, or may be the contact in the direction from the second position P2 to the first position P1.

  In this way, the mobile phone 1 can delete a predetermined character or a predetermined image by intuitive operation after creating a sentence.

  Further, the control unit 17 detects the contact with the first position P1 and the second position P2 and then maintains the contact from the first position P1 to the second position P2. When the movement of the contact and the movement of the contact in the direction from the second position P2 to the first position P1 are detected, the characters included in the range R from the first position P1 to the second position P2 or A configuration in which a predetermined character or a predetermined image is deleted from the image may be used.

  Specifically, as illustrated in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the control unit 17 determines that the first position P <b> 1 and the first position P <b> 1 and When the second position P2 is set, and then an operation for pinching the range R from the first position P1 to the second position P2 (operation to pick) is performed by multi-touch (double touch). Then, a predetermined character or the like is deleted.

  In this way, the mobile phone 1 can delete a predetermined character or a predetermined image by intuitive operation after creating a sentence.

  Further, when the control unit 17 deletes a predetermined character or a predetermined image from the characters or images included in the range R from the first position P1 to the second position P2, the control unit 17 deletes the predetermined character or the predetermined image. It may be configured to display information indicating that a character or image can be input at a position where the predetermined character or the predetermined image is displayed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, when a predetermined character or a predetermined image is deleted in response to a predetermined operation, the control unit 17 is used for inputting a new character or image in the deleted portion. A cursor (X in FIG. 8) is displayed.

  Therefore, the mobile phone 1 can display a cursor for inserting a new character or image at an appropriate position after deleting a predetermined character or image.

Further, when the control unit 17 deletes a predetermined character or a predetermined image from the characters or images included in the range R from the first position P1 to the second position P2, the control unit 17 deletes the predetermined character or the predetermined image. A configuration in which one or a plurality of characters or images that can be input at a position where a predetermined character or a predetermined image is displayed is displayed on the display unit 11 as an input candidate.
In addition, the input candidate may include a deleted character or a character or image related to a predetermined image.

  Specifically, when the smiley pictogram is deleted as a predetermined character, the control unit 17 selects a pictograph related to the smiley pictogram (a larger smiley pictogram, a crying face pictogram, a troubled face, etc.) as an input candidate. Are displayed in a pop-up (see FIG. 9). The control unit 17 inserts the pictograph selected from the input candidates at the deleted position. This selection operation may be performed when the user touches the input candidate displayed in the pop-up with a finger.

  Therefore, since the mobile phone 1 displays input candidates after deleting a predetermined character or image, it is possible to input another character or image at the deleted position by a simple operation.

  Further, the control unit 17 deletes the predetermined character or the predetermined image from the character or the image included in the range R from the first position P1 to the second position P2 within a predetermined time. When contact with the first position P1 and the second position P2 is detected again, the deleted predetermined character or the predetermined image may be displayed again.

  According to the mobile phone 1, even if a predetermined character or image is deleted once, the deletion is not confirmed until a predetermined time elapses, and the deletion is confirmed when the predetermined time elapses. Therefore, the mobile phone 1 is deleted when it detects contact with the first position P1 and the second position P2 again after a predetermined time elapses after the predetermined character or the predetermined image is deleted. Since the character or image is displayed again at the original position, the operation load on the user can be reduced, the memory load can be minimized, and the deleted character or image can be displayed again.

  Here, the flow of the operation of the mobile phone 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. In the following description, it is assumed that the user touches any two places with the finger on the display unit 11 on which editable sentences are displayed.

  In step ST1, the detection unit 12 detects a touch event and notifies the control unit 17 of the touch event.

  In step ST2, the control unit 17 checks whether or not a character of a predetermined character type (hereinafter referred to as a predetermined character) exists in the sentence between two points.

  In step ST3, the control part 17 judges whether a predetermined character exists according to the process of step ST2. If the predetermined character exists (Yes), the process proceeds to step ST4. If the predetermined character does not exist (No), the process ends.

  In step ST4, the control unit 17 determines whether or not a plurality of predetermined characters are included. If it is determined that a plurality of predetermined characters are included (Yes), the process proceeds to step ST6. If it is determined that a plurality of predetermined characters are not included (No), that is, only one predetermined character is included. In that case, the process proceeds to step ST5.

  In step ST5, the control unit 17 deletes a predetermined character.

  In step ST6, the control part 17 detects the character corresponding to the position (1st position P1 and 2nd position P2) between 2 points | pieces detected at the process of step ST2.

  In step ST7, the controller 17 deletes all predetermined characters included in the range R from the first position P1 to the second position P2.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 11, the mobile phone 1 includes the first position P <b> 1 and the second position P <b> 2 in the sentence creation area A, and is included between the first position P <b> 1 and the second position P <b> 2. When a plurality of predetermined images are included in the text (C1 and C2 in the example shown in FIG. 11A), all the images are deleted (see FIG. 11B).

  In this way, the mobile phone 1 can delete a character of a predetermined character type by intuitive operation after creating a sentence.

The main actions and effects of the mobile phone 1 are listed below.
