The touch screen 14 includes, for example, a liquid crystal display and a touch panel provided on the surface thereof. The touch screen 14 is controlled by the control device 11 to display an image, and a user operation (tap operation or drag operation performed by instructing the touch panel). Etc.).

The storage device 12 stores an application program for displaying a character on the touch screen 14 and outputting a comment according to the operation when the user performs an operation of drawing the character. For example, the user uses this application program for the purpose of improving concentration and calming by performing an action of drawing characters. The control device 11 executes the application program to control each unit of the device itself, thereby realizing the functions described below.
FIG. 2 shows a functional configuration realized by the information processing apparatus 10. The information processing apparatus 10 includes a selection unit 101, a presentation unit 102, a storage unit 103, a user situation determination unit 104, a character display unit 105, a trajectory display unit 106, and an output unit 107.

  The selection unit 101 selects characters to be displayed on the touch screen 14. For example, the selection unit 101 selects a character input by the user as a character to be displayed on the touch screen 14. The presentation unit 102 presents the candidate characters that the selection unit 101 selects. When the user selects any of the presented character candidates, the presentation unit 102 notifies the selection unit 101 of the selected character. The selection unit 101 selects a character notified from the presentation unit 102, that is, a character selected by the user from the character candidates presented by the presentation unit 102 as a character to be displayed on the touch screen 14. The selection unit 101 notifies the character display unit 105 of the selected character.

The storage unit 103 stores a plurality of character string candidates for each user situation.
FIG. 3 shows an example of information stored in the storage unit 103. In FIG. 3, the user situation, the comment candidate, and the similarity (which will be described later) are stored in association with each other. As the user situation, “Exam”, “Interview”, “Presentation”, and “Date” are stored. In “Exam”, character strings “absolutely passed”, “do your best!”, And “you can do it!” Are associated as comment candidates. These three comment candidates are candidates for a plurality of character strings corresponding to the user's situation “test”. Also, in the “interview”, character strings “Let's make a loud voice”, “Let's be ourselves”, and “Tensions are all the same” are associated as comment candidates. These three comment candidates are candidates for a plurality of character strings corresponding to the user situation “interview”.

  The user situation determination unit 104 determines a user situation. In this embodiment, the user situation determination unit 104 determines that the situation selected by the operation is the user situation by performing an operation of the user selecting his / her situation. The user status determination unit 104 notifies the output unit 107 of the determined user status. The user situation determination unit 104 is an example of the “determination unit” in the present invention.

  The character display unit 105 displays the character selected by the selection unit 101 on the touch screen 14. The trajectory display unit 106 displays the character selected by the selection unit 101 and displays the trajectory on the touch screen 14 when the user performs an operation of drawing a trajectory (for example, a trajectory representing the displayed character) on the touch screen 14. Let

  The output unit 107 outputs a character string (any one of comment candidates shown in FIG. 3) stored in the storage unit 103. For example, the output unit 107 outputs the character string to the touch screen 14 and displays it. Specifically, the output unit 107 is determined by the user situation determination unit 104 when the user performs an action of drawing a locus on the touch screen 14 in a state where the character selected by the selection unit 101 is displayed on the touch screen 14. One of a plurality of character string candidates stored in the storage unit 103 corresponding to the situation is output according to the operation. A screen displayed on the touch screen 14 by each unit described above will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of the transition of the screen displayed on the touch screen 14. In FIG. 4A, the operator group includes a character string “select user status” on the touch screen 14 and characters “admission”, “interview”, “presentation”, and “date” representing the user status. F1 is displayed. The operator group F1 is displayed by the user situation determination unit 104. When the user performs an operation of selecting one of the situations, the user situation determination unit 104 determines that the selected situation is the user's situation. In the example of FIG. 4, a case where “admission” is selected will be described.

  In FIG. 4B, the touch screen 14 includes a character string “character selection”, a character input field F2, an operator F3 including characters “select a character input in the upper field”, and “list”. An operation element F4 including characters “Select from” is displayed. These are displayed by the selection unit 101. When the user inputs a character in the input field F2 and operates the operator F3, the selection unit 101 selects the input character as a character to be displayed on the touch screen 14. When the user operates the operator F4, the selection unit 101 notifies the presentation unit 102 to that effect.

  Upon receiving this notification, for example, as shown in FIG. 4C, the presentation unit 102, as shown in FIG. The operator group F5 including the characters “correct” and “go” is displayed on the touch screen 14. When the user selects any character, the presentation unit 102 notifies the selection unit 101 of the selected character, and the selection unit 101 selects the notified character as a character to be displayed on the touch screen 14. In this example, it is assumed that “sakura” is selected.

  The selection unit 101 displays the selected character “sakura” on the touch screen 14 as shown in FIG. On the touch screen 14, an input field F6 including the character G1 "Sakura" and an operator F7 including the characters "End" are displayed. When the user performs an operation of drawing a character “sakura” in the input field F <b> 6, the output unit 107 displays a locus K <b> 1 drawn by the user on the touch screen 14. When the user finishes drawing the character and operates the operator F7, the output unit 107 determines that the operation of drawing the user's trajectory is completed, and calculates the similarity between the trajectory drawn by the user and the character G1. The calculation of the similarity is performed using, for example, a well-known technique in the field of character recognition. In addition to the operation of the operation element F7, the output unit 107 may determine, for example, that the operation of drawing the trajectory has ended when a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of drawing the trajectory.

  The output unit 107 refers to the user situation, the comment candidate, and the similarity stored in the storage unit 103, and associates the user situation determined by the user situation determination unit 104 with the calculated similarity. Read candidates. In the example of FIG. 3, in the situation “test”, the comment candidate “absolutely passed” is associated with the similarity “A1 or higher”. Similarly, a comment candidate of “Do your best!” Is associated with a similarity of “less than A1 and A2 or more”, and a comment candidate of “You can do it!” Is associated with a similarity of “less than A2”. A1 and A2 are values satisfying the relationship of the upper limit value of similarity> A1> A2> the lower limit value of similarity.

  When the calculated similarity is A1 or higher, the output unit 107 outputs a comment candidate “absolutely passed” associated with the user situation “test” and the similarity “A1 or higher”. Display on the touch screen 14 as shown in 4 (e). Further, when the calculated similarity is less than A1 and A2 or more, the output unit 107 comments “Do your best!” Associated with the user status of “exam” and the similarity of “less than A1 and A2 or more”. Candidates are output and displayed on the touch screen 14 as shown in FIG.

The information processing apparatus 10 performs output processing for outputting a comment when the user performs an operation of tracing characters based on the above configuration.
FIG. 5 shows an example of an operation procedure in the output process. This operation procedure is started when the user performs an operation for starting the above-described application program, for example. The information processing apparatus 10 (user situation determination unit 104) determines the user situation based on, for example, the user's operation on the operator group F1 illustrated in FIG. 4A (step S11).

  Next, the information processing apparatus 10 (selection unit 101) performs, for example, a user operation to input characters in the input field F2 illustrated in FIG. 4B or a user operation to the operator group F5 in FIG. Based on this, a character to be displayed on the touch screen 14 is selected (step S12). Subsequently, the information processing apparatus 10 (character display unit 105) displays the character selected in step S12 on the touch screen 14 as shown in FIG. 4D (step S13). Then, the information processing apparatus 10 (trajectory display unit 106) displays the trajectory of the character drawn by the user on the touch screen 14 by the user performing an operation of drawing the character in the input field F6 illustrated in FIG. (Step S14).

  For example, when the operation element F7 shown in FIG. 4D is operated to finish the operation of drawing the user's character, the information processing apparatus 10 (output unit 107) calculates the similarity between the character and the locus (step S15). Comments corresponding to the situation determined in step S11 and the calculated similarity are output and displayed on the touch screen 14 as shown in FIGS. 4E and 4F, for example (step S16).

  In order to increase concentration and calm down in a tense situation, an action of drawing a character trajectory may be performed. In the present embodiment, when this operation is performed, character strings representing various comments are displayed, so that the user can feel a response to the operation of drawing a trajectory. In addition, if this character string is the same before, for example, before the interview, the content represented by the character string is unlikely to be suitable for the situation at that time. It is displayed on the touch screen 14. Thereby, when outputting a character string and making a user feel the response of an operation | movement, the content of the output character string can be made suitable for a user's condition.

[2] Modifications The above-described embodiments are merely examples of the present invention, and may be modified as follows. Moreover, you may combine an Example and each modification as needed.

[2-1] Presentation Unit The presentation unit 102 may present characters using a method different from that in the embodiment. For example, the user status determined by the user status determining unit 104 is notified to the presenting unit 102, and the presenting unit 102 selects a character to be selected by the selecting unit 101 according to the user status determined by the user status determining unit 104. Present candidates. The presentation unit 102 uses, for example, a character candidate table that associates user situations with character candidates.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of a character candidate table. In the example of FIG. 6, the user status of “Exam” is associated with the six character candidates “Katsu, Naru, Sakura, Full, Masato, and Go” shown in the example of FIG. The user situation is associated with six character candidates “original, voice, thanks, laugh, figure, charm”. Further, it is assumed that character candidates are also associated with the user situations of “presentation” and “date”, respectively. The presentation unit 102 causes the touch screen 14 to display an operator group that includes character candidates associated with the user status notified from the user status determination unit 104 in the character candidate table. By operating any of the displayed operator groups, a character included in the operator is selected by the user. According to this modification, the character displayed when the user performs an action of drawing a trajectory can be a character that matches the user's situation.

  In addition, when there is no character that the user wants to draw in the displayed character candidates, the character that the user wants to draw may be specified. In this case, for example, the presentation unit 102 causes the touch screen 14 to display a display field for allowing the user to freely select a character in addition to the character candidates, and the character input by the user using the character input function of the information processing apparatus 10 Is selected by the selection unit 101 and displayed by the character display unit 105. Thereby, when there is a character that the user wants to draw in addition to the characters presented in accordance with the user situation, the trajectory can be drawn by displaying the character.

[2-2] Answer to question The character string output by the output unit 107 may be further adapted to the user.
FIG. 7 shows a functional configuration realized by the information processing apparatus 10a according to this modification. The information processing apparatus 10a includes an answer acquisition unit 108 and a user characteristic determination unit 109 in addition to the units illustrated in FIG. The answer acquisition unit 108 acquires a user's answer to the question. For example, the answer acquisition unit 108 presents questions and answer candidates used for character determination, and acquires the answer candidates selected by the user as answers. The answer acquisition unit 108 supplies the acquired answer to the user characteristic determination unit 109.

  The user characteristic determination unit 109 determines a user characteristic based on the answer acquired by the answer acquisition unit 108. The user characteristic determination unit 109 determines the user personality obtained from the answer using, for example, a personality determination technique as the user characteristic. The user characteristic determination unit 109 notifies the output unit 107 of the determined user characteristic. The output unit 107 outputs a character string (for example, a comment) according to the notified user characteristics and the user situation determined by the user situation determination unit 104. The output unit 107 uses a comment candidate table in which comment candidates are associated with user situations and user characteristics.

  FIG. 8 shows an example of the comment candidate table. In the example of FIG. 8, the user characteristics “test” and the user characteristics “work hard” and “relaxed” are associated. The “good workman” is associated with the comment candidates such as “Absolutely Pass” as shown in FIG. 3, “Let ’s go at my own pace”, “I ’ll become good”, “I ’ll be fine” Comment candidates are associated with each other. Each comment candidate is associated with a similarity as in the example of FIG.

  The output unit 107 corresponds to the similarity calculated in the same manner as in the embodiment from the comment candidates associated with the user situation notified from the user situation determining unit 104 and the user characteristics notified from the user characteristic determining unit 109. The attached comment candidates are output and displayed on the touch screen 14. Thereby, even the users with the same situation can make the content of the character string output different for each user, and the content can be made according to the characteristics of each user.

  Note that the user characteristics need not be determined. In that case, the response acquired by the response acquisition unit 108 is notified to the output unit 107, and a plurality of comment candidates corresponding to the response notified by the output unit 107 and the user status notified from the user status determination unit 104 are used. That is, regardless of whether or not the user characteristic is determined, the output unit 107 can select a plurality of character string candidates according to the user status determined by the user status determination unit 104 and the response acquired by the response acquisition unit 108. Is output according to the user's operation. Thereby, even if a user's condition is the same, the character string of a different content for every user can be output.

[2-3] User situation determination unit The user situation determination unit 104 may determine the user situation by a method different from the embodiment.
FIG. 9 illustrates a hardware configuration of the information processing apparatus 10b according to the present modification. The information processing device 10b includes a positioning device 15 in addition to the devices illustrated in FIG. The positioning device 15 measures the position (latitude and longitude) of its own device (information processing device 10b) by a technique such as GPS (Global Positioning System).

  FIG. 10 illustrates an example of a functional configuration of the information processing apparatus 10b. The information processing apparatus 10b includes a positioning unit 110 in addition to the units illustrated in FIG. The positioning unit 110 measures the position of the device itself and notifies the user position determination unit 104 of the measured position. The user status determination unit 104 determines the user status based on the position of the own device measured by the positioning unit 110. The user situation determination unit 104 uses a user situation table in which the position of the own apparatus and the user situation are associated with this determination.

  FIG. 11 shows an example of a user situation table. In the example of FIG. 11, the user status “test” is associated with the position of the own device “education institution (university, high school, junior high school, etc.)”. The position of the own device is represented by, for example, a range of latitude and longitude representing the position in the premises of the educational institution. If the position measured by the positioning unit 110 is included in the range, it indicates that the user is in the premises of the educational institution. Similarly, the user status of “interview, presentation” is associated with the position of the own device “office building”, and the user “date” is assigned to the position of the own device “station, park, movie theater, downtown”. A situation is associated.

  The user situation determination unit 104 determines the user situation associated with the position of the own apparatus including the position notified from the positioning unit 110 in the user situation table of FIG. 11 as the current situation of the user. In this case, if the comment candidates are shared between the interview and the presentation, a character string corresponding to the user situation can be output without the user performing an operation of selecting his / her own situation.

  FIG. 12 illustrates a hardware configuration of the information processing apparatus 10c according to the present modification. The information processing apparatus 10c includes a communication device 16 in addition to the devices illustrated in FIG. The communication device 16 performs communication via a network such as the Internet by mobile communication or wireless LAN (Local Area Network) communication.

  FIG. 13 illustrates an example of a functional configuration of the information processing apparatus 10c. The information processing apparatus 10c includes a schedule acquisition unit 111 in addition to the units illustrated in FIG. The schedule acquisition unit 111 acquires a user's schedule. In this modification, it is assumed that a user who uses the information processing apparatus 10c uses a schedule management service provided by, for example, cloud computing.

  For example, the schedule acquisition unit 111 inquires of the schedule management service about the user's schedule on the current day, and acquires the user's schedule sent in response thereto. More specifically, the schedule is represented by a phrase representing the schedule of the day input by the user. For example, if it is an examination date, a schedule expressed in terms such as “00 university entrance examination” or “△△ company entrance examination” will be acquired, and if it is an interview date, “▽▽ store byte interview” or “□□ company” A schedule represented by a phrase such as “secondary interview” is acquired.

  The schedule acquisition unit 111 notifies the user status determination unit 104 of the schedule acquired in this way. The user situation determination unit 104 determines the user situation based on the user schedule acquired by the schedule acquisition unit 111. The user situation determination unit 104 uses a user situation table in which a user schedule and a user situation are associated with this determination.

  FIG. 14 shows another example of the user situation table. In the example of FIG. 14, words and phrases included in the schedule are associated with the user situation. For example, the phrase “examination, test, imitation, entrance examination,...” Is associated with the user situation “examination”, and the phrase “interview, employment, job hunting, job change,...” Is the user situation “interview”. Is associated with. Further, the phrase “presentation, negotiation, proposal,...” Is associated with the user situation “presentation”, and the phrase “date, meeting,...” Is associated with the user situation “date”. Yes.

  The user situation determination unit 104 determines whether or not the schedule notified from the schedule acquisition unit 111 includes the words in the user situation table of FIG. When the user situation determination unit 104 determines that a phrase is included, the user situation determination unit 104 determines a user situation associated with the phrase. For example, if the schedule “□□ company secondary interview” is acquired, the user situation determination unit 104 determines “interview” associated with the phrase “interview” as the user situation.

  Note that when the user uses a schedule management function provided by an application program installed in the information processing apparatus 10c, the schedule acquisition unit 111 may acquire a schedule from the schedule management function. In any case, if the user uses the function for managing the schedule, the user can output a character string corresponding to the user situation without performing an operation for selecting his / her situation.

[2-4] Generation of Character Strings Although a plurality of character string candidates are stored in advance in the embodiment, these candidates may be generated.
FIG. 15 illustrates a functional configuration of the information processing apparatus 10d according to the present modification. The information processing apparatus 10d includes a positioning unit 110 illustrated in FIG. 10 and a character string generation unit 112 in addition to the units illustrated in FIG. The positioning unit 110 notifies the character string generation unit 112 of the measured position of its own device. The user situation determination unit 104 notifies the character string generation unit 112 of the determined user situation.

  In the example of FIG. 15, the character string generation unit 112 generates a character string including a proper noun related to the measured position as a character string candidate output by the output unit 107. As a proper noun related to the position, for example, a facility name (school name, company name, etc.) in Japan is used. The character string generation unit 112 uses a facility name table in which a facility name in Japan is associated with a latitude and a lightness indicating the position of each facility for generating a character string. When the position measured by the positioning unit 110 is notified, the character string generation unit 112 refers to the facility name table, and the distance from the position (latitude and mildness) notified from the positioning unit 110 is less than the threshold. Identify the facility name of the facility.

  The storage unit 103 stores a character string that is completed as a comment when the facility name is entered in association with the user situation. For example, the storage unit 103 stores character strings such as “(school name) entry game” and “(school name) become a student!” In association with the user situation “test”. For example, if you put the name of the school “0.00 University” in these character strings, the comments “00 university entry rating” and “00 university student!” Will be completed.

  The character string generation unit 112 reads the character string stored in association with the notified user situation, and generates a character string completed as a comment by putting the specified facility name in the read character string. The character string generation unit 112 generates a character string including the proper noun associated with the measured position according to the user situation determined by the user situation determination unit 104 in this way. The character string generation unit 112 stores the generated character string in the storage unit 103.

  The output unit 107 operates in the same manner as in the embodiment with reference to the storage unit 103, so that any one of a plurality of character string candidates including the character string generated by the character string generation unit 112 is operated by the user. According to the output. Thus, for example, when a user visits a school that wants to take an exam and performs an action of tracing characters to relieve tension before the exam, a character string representing a comment containing the name of the school is output. Become. Thereby, a sense of reality can be given to the user.

  Note that the character string generation unit 112 may generate a character string in consideration of the venue and schedule of the examination or interview. For example, educational institutions such as universities may become venues for qualification exams as well as entrance examinations. Therefore, the character string generation unit 112 uses a facility table in which the name of the test or interview conducted at the facility (for example, a qualification test or a secondary interview with a company, etc.) and the schedule are associated with each facility position. . The character string generation unit 112 specifies the name of the test or interview that is associated with the current date and time in a facility whose distance from the measured position is less than the threshold. This makes it possible to output a character string including proper nouns representing tests and interviews held at each facility.

In addition, a character string according to the user's schedule may be generated.
FIG. 16 illustrates a functional configuration of the information processing apparatus 10e according to this modification. The information processing apparatus 10e includes a schedule acquisition unit 111 illustrated in FIG. 13 and a character string generation unit 112 in addition to the units illustrated in FIG. The schedule acquisition unit 111 notifies the character string generation unit 112 of the acquired schedule. The user situation determination unit 104 notifies the character string generation unit 112 of the determined user situation.

  In the example of FIG. 15, the character string generation unit 112 generates a character string including a proper noun related to the schedule acquired by the schedule acquisition unit 111 as the character string candidate output by the output unit 107. The character string generation unit 112 uses a facility name list that represents the names of facilities often used in tests, interviews, presentations, dates, and the like for character string generation. When the schedule acquired from the schedule acquisition unit 111 is notified, the character string generation unit 112 extracts the phrase if the notified schedule includes a phrase in the facility name list.

  The storage unit 103 stores a character string that is completed as a comment when the facility name is entered in association with the user situation. For example, the storage unit 103 stores character strings such as “(school name) entry game” and “(school name) become a student!” In association with the user situation “test”. For example, if you put the name of the school “0.00 University” in these character strings, the comments “00 university entry rating” and “00 university student!” Will be completed.

  Similarly to the example of FIG. 15, the storage unit 103 stores a character string that is completed as a comment when a facility name is entered in association with a user situation. The character string generation unit 112 reads a character string stored in association with the notified user situation, and inserts the extracted facility name into the read character string to generate a character string completed as a comment. The character string generation unit 112 generates a character string that includes the proper noun associated with the acquired schedule according to the user situation determined by the user situation determination unit 104 in this way.

  Thereafter, the same operation as in the example of FIG. 15 is performed. For example, when a schedule including the name of the facility that the user plans to visit is created, such as “Date at Amusement Park”, the schedule If you do the action of tracing characters to relieve the tension before, the character string representing the comment that contains the name of the facility will be output. In this case as well, a sense of reality can be given to the user.

[2-5] Provision of Application An application program (hereinafter referred to as “application”) that realizes each unit illustrated in FIG. 2 or the like may be downloaded from an external device.
FIG. 17 illustrates the overall configuration of the information processing system 1 according to this modification. The information processing system 1 includes an information processing device 10f, a server device 20, and a network 2 that connects these devices. The information processing apparatus 10f includes the communication device 16 similarly to the information processing apparatus 10c illustrated in FIG. 12 and performs communication via the network 2. The server device 20 is, for example, a computer having hardware common to the control device 11, the storage device 12, and the communication device 16 illustrated in FIG.

  FIG. 18 shows a functional configuration of the information processing system 1. The information processing apparatus 10 f includes the units illustrated in FIG. 2, and the server apparatus 20 includes the application providing unit 201. The application providing unit 201 provides an application program (hereinafter referred to as “application”) for realizing each unit included in the information processing apparatus 10f to the user device. For example, the application providing unit 201 provides an application corresponding to each user situation. Specifically, the “test” application, the “interview” application, the “presentation” application, and the “date” application are individually downloaded, and individual icons are displayed on the information processing apparatus 10f. Individually activated. Selection of the application to be downloaded by the user is performed, for example, on an electronic commerce site that provides various applications.

  FIG. 19 shows an example of a screen for selecting an application. In the example of FIG. 19, an operator group F11 including a character string “Which application do you want to download?” And characters “entrance examination”, “interview”, “presentation”, and “date” representing the user's situation Is displayed on the touch screen 14f of the information processing apparatus 10f. When the user operates one of the operators on this screen, an application (for example, an application for “test”) corresponding to the user situation represented by the operated operator is requested from the server device 20. The application providing unit 201 provides the requested application to the information processing apparatus 10f. When the information processing apparatus 10f executes the provided application, each unit of the information processing apparatus 10f illustrated in FIG. 18 is realized.

  The application provided by the application providing unit 201 includes, for example, a plurality of character string candidates and similarity information shown in FIG. 3, and the information is stored in the storage unit 103 by installing this application. Remembered. For example, when an application corresponding to “entrance exam” is provided, comment candidates and similarities associated with “entrance exam” in the example of FIG. 3 are stored in the storage unit 103. At the same time, an icon of the installed application is displayed, and the application is activated by operating the icon.

In addition, the icon for starting the application may be displayed individually as described above, or a common icon may be displayed.
FIG. 20 shows an example of displayed icons. In the example of FIG. 20A, the touch screen 14f of the information processing apparatus 10f has an icon J1 including the characters “writing application (test)”, an icon J2 including the characters “writing application (interview)”, and “ An icon J3 including the characters “documentation app (date)” is displayed. Note that the “writing app” is a name given because the user's action of drawing a trajectory of a character is similar to the action of copying, that is, copying a character. In this example, the presentation application is not downloaded and the corresponding icon is not displayed. For example, before the test, when the user operates the icon J1 to activate the application, the user situation is determined to be a test, and a plurality of character strings stored corresponding to the test are performed by performing an operation of drawing a trajectory. One of the candidates is output.

  In the example of FIG. 20B, an icon J11 including characters “writing app” is displayed on the touch screen 14f. When the user operates the icon J11 to start the application, for example, a screen for selecting the user situation shown in FIG. 4A is displayed, and the user situation is changed according to the operation on the operator group F1 displayed there. Determined. Note that the operator displayed on this screen may be added by, for example, so-called in-app billing. As described above, in any case, the user situation determination unit 104 determines the user situation corresponding to the application activated by the user or the selected operator as the situation of the user who uses the device. Thereafter, the same operation as in the embodiment is performed, and a comment corresponding to the determined user situation is output. According to this modification, the user can select and use an application necessary for the user.

[2-6] Output According to Action In the embodiment, the output unit 107 outputs a character string corresponding to the similarity calculated based on the user's action, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when the touch screen 14 has a pressure sensor, the output unit 107 outputs a character string corresponding to a pressure (pressure corresponding to so-called writing pressure) detected when the user draws a locus. May be.

  FIG. 21 shows an example of information stored in the storage unit 103 of this modification. In the example of FIG. 21, pressure is stored in association with the user situation and the comment candidate. If the user status is “Test”, for example, “Relax” if the pressure is “C1 or higher”, “Less than C1 C2 or higher” (C2 <C1), “Concentrate”, “If less than C2” Comment comment “Let's put in!” Is output. In this example, assuming a user who increases the pressure applied to the touch screen 14 as he / she becomes tense, when the pressure is greatly tense, a comment for releasing the tense is output, and the pressure is small and relaxed. In some cases, comments to increase concentration are output.

Further, the output unit 107 may output a character string corresponding to the time required for the user's operation.
FIG. 22 shows another example of information stored in the storage unit 103 according to this modification. In the example of FIG. 22, the operation time (the time required for the user's operation) is stored in association with the user situation and the comment candidate. When the user status is “test”, for example, if the operation time is “D1 or more”, “careful about time allocation”, “less than D1 D2 or more” (D2 <D1), “review well!”, “Less than D2” A comment candidate “careful about careless mistakes” is output. In this example, it is assumed that the problem tends to be solved slowly if the operation time is long, and the problem tends to be solved quickly if the operation time is short. If the operation time is short, a comment is output to prevent an inadvertent mistake from being made too quickly.

  As described above, by using the feature of the user's action (the force of pushing the touch screen 14 or the speed of drawing the trajectory), it is possible to output a character string that matches the user's personality and characteristics assumed from each feature. it can. In addition, as a feature of the user's operation, for example, the size of a range in which the user has drawn a trajectory may be used. The larger the range is, the larger the character is drawn. For example, when the user feels that the character to be drawn is likely to be small when the user is not energetic, the size of the range in which the user has drawn the trajectory (for example, the area of a figure such as a circle or rectangle circumscribing the trajectory) is greater than or equal to the threshold value Can output a normal comment according to the user situation, and if the size of the range is less than the threshold, output a comment to cheer the user (the size of the range and the comment The relationship may be the opposite).

  In addition to the above, the output unit 107 may output a character string corresponding to the current time, for example, or may output a character string selected at random. In these cases, the user's action is used as a trigger for outputting a character string. However, in any case, the output unit 107 eats out a character string in accordance with an operation in which the user draws a locus on the touch screen 14. In any case, if a character string to be finally output is selected from a plurality of character string candidates corresponding to the user's situation, the content of the character string to be output is the same as in the embodiment. Can be adapted to the user's situation.

  Note that the output unit 107 may not output the same character string twice. In other words, the output unit 107 may output a character string different from the character string output last time. For example, the output unit 107 associates a flag with the output character string, and when the user performs an operation of drawing a locus next time, selects and outputs the character string from the character string not associated with the flag. At this time, the output unit 107 replaces the flag with the newly output character string. As a result, the same character string is not output twice in succession, and once another character string is output, it can be output again.

  If the same character string is output continuously, the user may be given the impression that only a fixed character string is output, but the output unit 107 outputs the same character string twice as described above. It is possible to make it difficult to give such an impression as compared with the case where the output is allowed. Note that the output unit 107 may always output different character strings continuously up to a predetermined number of times as long as there are sufficiently many character strings associated with each situation. In this case, for example, if the predetermined number of times is three, all the three character strings output in succession will always be different. Thereby, compared with the above-mentioned case, it can make it difficult to give the said impression to a user further.

[2-7] Character Display Characters displayed when the user performs an operation of drawing a locus are not limited to those described above. For example, two or more characters may be displayed instead of one character, such as “win” shown in FIG. 4, or a character representing a sentence may be displayed. In addition to characters, symbols such as punctuation marks and graphics such as arrows may be displayed. Instead of displaying these characters and the like at a position where the user draws a locus as in the embodiment and tracing them, they may be displayed outside the entry field. Even in such a case, the user can refer to the displayed characters and the like, so that it is easy to draw a trajectory.

  The display of characters and the like is not essential. For example, only the input field F6 shown in FIG. 4D and the operation element F7 indicating the end of the operation are displayed, and the character G1 may not be displayed. In this case, the user may draw a character or the like he / she likes in the input field F6 and operate the operation element F7 to end the operation of drawing the locus. In this case, since the similarity cannot be calculated, for example, a character string may be output based on the above-described writing pressure and operation time. Further, when displaying characters or the like, the user does not necessarily have to draw the displayed characters. Regardless of what locus the user has drawn, for example, if the output unit 107 can determine that the operation of drawing the locus has been performed by operating the operator F7 shown in FIG. 4, the above-described character string is output. It will be.

  In addition, when a user draws a character etc. freely, the number of characters of the character drawn by the user may be used as a characteristic of the user's operation described above. For example, if the number of characters is less than the threshold, the normal comment corresponding to the user situation is output if the number of characters is less than the threshold, and if the number of characters is less than the threshold, a comment for relieving the tension is considered. It can be used as output (the relationship between the number of characters and comments may be reversed).

  Further, when a user freely draws a character or the like, the content of the character may be used as a feature of the user's operation described above. Specifically, when a specific character (such as a user name or a character registered by the user) is drawn, a comment different from the normal one can be output. In this case, for example, a specific character is stored in advance in the information processing apparatus, and the output unit 107 illustrated in FIG. 2 recognizes the character from the locus drawn by the user using an OCR (Optical character recognition) technique. When the recognized character is stored, an unusual comment is output.

[2-8] Output Destination In the embodiment, the output unit 107 outputs the character string to the touch screen 14, but the output destination of the character string is not limited to this. For example, the output unit 107 may output a character string to a user's mail address or an SNS (Social Networking Service) account. Further, the output unit 107 may output sound representing a character string if the information processing apparatus has a speaker. In short, any output destination may be used as long as the words represented by the character string to be output can be transmitted to the user.

[2-9] Table The table shown in FIG. 3 or the like may be stored in the storage device of the information processing device, or may be stored in an external device and referred to via a network. . Further, the tables shown in FIG. 3 and the like are examples, and the contents and configuration of data in those tables may be different from those shown in FIG. In place of the table, for example, a function using a character string as a parameter (function such as character string search or character string extraction) may be used. In short, the format of data to be used is not limited as long as the correspondence relationship shown in the table illustrated in FIG.
