Here, a first information processing apparatus and a second information processing apparatus having a software keyboard function are considered. The first information processing apparatus corresponds to French as a language, but does not correspond to a Swiss French layout as a keyboard layout of a software keyboard. In the second information processing apparatus, the language is set to French, and the keyboard layout of the software keyboard is set to a Swiss French layout. Then, it is assumed that the second information processing apparatus exports the language and the keyboard layout setting values, and the first information processing apparatus imports them.
At this time, in the technique of Patent Document 1, the first information processing apparatus corresponds to French, so the language is French. However, since the first information processing apparatus does not support the Swiss French layout as the keyboard layout of the software keyboard, the rounding process is performed, and a predetermined keyboard layout such as an English layout is set.
Thus, in the first information processing apparatus, the language and the keyboard layout are set differently, which may be difficult to use.

  An object of the present invention is to appropriately set a keyboard layout of a software keyboard.

  The information processing apparatus according to the present invention includes an acquisition unit that acquires a first setting value that represents a language and a second setting value that represents a software keyboard layout, a first setting value acquired by the acquisition unit, and a second setting value. Setting means for setting a software keyboard layout based on the set value.

  According to the present invention, the keyboard layout of the software keyboard can be set appropriately.

It is a figure which shows an example of a structure of an information processing system. It is a figure which shows an example of a software structure and a data structure. It is a flowchart of the process of 1st Embodiment. It is a flowchart of the process of 2nd Embodiment.

For example, a hard disk, a flexible disk, or an external memory 121 such as a CD, a DVD, or a memory card can be mounted on the external memory I / F 117. The external memory I / F 117 reads data from the attached external memory 121 and writes data to the external memory 121 based on the control of the CPU 111. The external memory 121 is an example of a storage device.
The communication I / F controller 118 performs communication with various networks 102 such as a LAN, the Internet, wired, and wireless based on the control of the CPU 111.
Since the second information processing apparatus 103 has the same hardware configuration as that of the first information processing apparatus 101, detailed description thereof is omitted.

[Software configuration and data configuration]
Next, the software configuration and data configuration of the first information processing apparatus 101 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2A is a diagram illustrating an example of a software configuration and a data configuration of the first information processing apparatus 101. In this embodiment, unless otherwise specified, the CPU 111 controls the RAM 112, the ROM 113, the input control unit 115, the display control unit 116, and the like via the system bus 110 in the exchange of data and the like between the illustrated software modules. This is realized.

The first information processing apparatus 101 includes an acquisition module 200, an import module 201, and a keyboard module 202.
The acquisition module 200 acquires the import data 210, thereby acquiring a setting value representing a language included in the import data 210 and a setting value representing a software keyboard layout. The acquisition module 200 acquires the import data 210 from the outside. Here, at least one of an external information processing apparatus connected via the network 102, for example, the second information processing apparatus 103, and the external memory 121 connected via the external memory I / F 117 is provided outside. included. An acquisition unit is realized by the CPU 111 executing the acquisition module 200.

The import module 201 analyzes the import data 210 and updates the setting value database 230 to set the first information processing apparatus 101. Setting means is realized when the CPU 111 executes the import module 201.
The keyboard module 202 implements a software keyboard function. The keyboard module 202 performs processing for displaying a keyboard on the display 120. Further, when the touch panel 119 is touched or the like, the keyboard module 202 processes that the key corresponding to the input coordinate of the touch panel 119 is pressed, and sends information about the pressed key to other software or the like. The keyboard module 202 causes the display 120 to display a keyboard having a software keyboard layout corresponding to the setting values of the software keyboard layout stored in the setting value database 230.
The first information processing apparatus 101 may include software other than the modules shown in FIG. The software (not shown) of the first information processing apparatus 101 refers to the setting value database 230 as appropriate, and performs processing based on the setting values held in the setting value database 230. For example, software (not shown) of the first information processing apparatus 101 performs processing such as performing various displays in the language represented by the setting value database 230.

The import data 210 is data in which setting values for setting the first information processing apparatus 101 are stored, and includes setting values representing a language and setting values representing a software keyboard layout.
The import data 210 includes a record including a KEY and a VALUE associated with the KEY. KEY represents a setting item, and VALUE represents a setting value.
LANGUAGE_SELECT represents a language that is a setting item. This language represents the display language of the information processing apparatus. In the import data 210, VALUE of a record whose KEY is LANGUAGE_SELECT is an example of a first setting value and represents a setting value of a language.
In the example of FIG. 2A, the KEY of the record 211 is LANGUAGE_SELECT, and the VALUE of the record 211 is “3”. The language setting value “3” represents German. Therefore, the record 211 represents that the language is German.

KEYBOARD_SELECT represents a software keyboard layout that is a setting item. In the import data 210, VALUE of a record whose KEY is KEYBOARD_SELECT is an example of the second setting value and represents the setting value of the software keyboard layout.
In the example of FIG. 2A, the KEY of the record 212 is KEYBOARD_SELECT, and the VALUE of the record 212 is “100”. Also, the keyboard layout setting value “100” represents the German Swiss layout. Thus, record 212 represents that the software keyboard layout is a German Swiss layout.

The language link table 220 is data held in the import module 201 and is stored in, for example, the ROM 113 or the auxiliary storage device 114. By storing the language link table 220 in the ROM 113 or the auxiliary storage device 114, the second storage unit is realized. The language link table 220 represents the language of the first information processing apparatus 101 and a default software keyboard layout corresponding to this language. The language link table 220 includes a record composed of LANGUAGE_SELECT and KEYBOARD_SELECT associated with LANGUAGE_SELECT. LANGUAGE_SELECT in the language link table 220 represents a language as a display language. KEYBOARD_SELECT of the record of the language linkage table 220 represents a default software keyboard layout in the language represented by the LANGUAGE_SELECT of this record.
In the example of FIG. 2A, in the language link table 220, the default software keyboard layout when the display language is Japanese is the Japanese layout, and the default software keyboard layout when the display language is English is the USA layout. It represents that. The records 221 to 225 included in the language link table 220 in FIG. 2A represent typical examples of languages, and the languages are described in the language link table 220 in FIG. 2A. It is not limited to things.

The setting value database 230 is an area for holding all setting values of the first information processing apparatus 101. The setting value database 230 is stored in the auxiliary storage device 114 of the first information processing apparatus 101 or the like. By storing the setting value database 230 in the auxiliary storage device 114 or the like of the first information processing apparatus 101, the first storage unit is realized.
The setting value database 230 includes a record in which KEY, VALUE, TYPE, MIN, and MAX are associated. KEY represents a setting item. VALUE represents a set value. TYPE represents the type of VALUE. For example, if TYPE is an integer, it means that VALUE is represented by an integer. If TYPE is string, it means that VALUE is represented by a character string. If TYPE is an integer, MIN represents the minimum value that can be set as VALUE. MAX represents the maximum value that can be set as VALUE if TYPE is an integer. If TYPE is string, MIN represents the minimum number of bytes that can be set as VALUE. MAX represents the maximum number of bytes that can be set as VALUE if TYPE is string.

  In the setting value database 230, VALUE of a record whose KEY is LANGUAGE_SELECT represents a language setting value. In the setting value database 230, VALUE of a record whose KEY is KEYBOARD_SELECT represents a setting value of the software keyboard layout.

Records 231 to 235 in FIG. 2A represent the current settings of the first information processing apparatus 101.
The KEY of the record 231 is LANGUAGE_SELECT, and the VALUE of the record 231 is “1”. The language setting value “1” represents English. Therefore, the record 231 indicates that the language setting is English.
The KEY of the record 232 is KEYBOARD_SELECT, and the VALUE of the record 232 is “1”. Also, the setting value “1” of the software keyboard layout represents the USA layout. Therefore, the record 232 indicates that the software keyboard layout setting is the USA layout.

Next, the software configuration and data configuration of the second information processing apparatus 103 will be described with reference to FIG.
The second information processing apparatus 103 includes an export module 240 and an output module 241.
Based on the setting value database 242 of the second information processing apparatus 103, the export module 240 exports the language and software keyboard layout settings set in the second information processing apparatus, and generates import data 243. . The setting value database 242 of the second information processing apparatus 103 has the same configuration as the setting value database 230 of the first information processing apparatus 101 shown in FIG. 2A, and holds all setting values of the second information processing apparatus 103. It is an area to keep. The import data 243 of the second information processing apparatus 103 has the same configuration as the import data 243 of the first information processing apparatus 101 shown in FIG.

  The export module 240 acquires VALUE of a record whose KEY in the setting value database 242 of the second information processing apparatus 103 is LANGUAGE_SELECT as the first value. In addition, the export module 240 acquires, as the second value, VALUE of the record whose KEY is KEYBOARD_SELECT in the setting value database 242 of the second information processing device 103. Then, the export module 240 sets the acquired first value as VALUE of the record whose KEY in the import data 243 is LANGUAGE_SELECT. Further, the export module 240 sets the acquired second value as VALUE of the record whose KEY in the import data 243 is KEYBOARD_SELECT.

The output module 241 outputs the import data 243 generated by the export module 240. Therefore, the output module 241 outputs a setting value representing the language set in the second information processing apparatus and a setting value representing the software keyboard layout. More specifically, the output module 241 transmits the import data 243 to the first information processing apparatus 101 via the network 102 or writes it to an external memory connected to the second information processing apparatus 103. ,Output. The CPU 111 executes the output module 241 to implement a transmission unit.
The administrator of the information processing system 100 attaches the external memory in which the import data 243 is written by the output module 241 to the external memory I / F 117 of the first information processing apparatus 101. Thereby, the acquisition module 200 of the first information processing apparatus 101 can acquire the import data 210 from the external memory.
The import data 210 acquired by the first information processing apparatus 101 is import data 243 output by the second information processing apparatus 103.

[Import processing]
Next, an import process performed by the first information processing apparatus 101 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart of the import process. The import process is a process in which the import module 201 sets a language and a software keyboard layout. The import module 201 starts import processing when an import instruction is received from an administrator, the second information processing apparatus 103, or the like. A more specific example when an import instruction is received from the second information processing apparatus 103 or the like is when the acquisition module 200 acquires the import data 210.

In step S <b> 101, the import module 201 determines whether or not the language in the import data 210 is allowed in the first information processing apparatus 101. More specifically, the import module 201 acquires VALUE of a record whose KEY in the import data 210 is LANGUAGE_SELECT. Then, the import module 201 determines whether or not the acquired VALUE is within the threshold range of the allowable value of LANGUAGE_SELECT in the setting value database 230. The threshold range of the allowable value of LANGUAGE_SELECT is the range of MIN and MAX of the record whose KEY in the setting value database 230 is LANGUAGE_SELECT. When the acquired VALUE is within the threshold range of the allowable value of LANGUAGE_SELECT in the setting value database 230, the language in the import data 210 is allowed in the first information processing apparatus 101.
The import module 201 advances the process to step S102 when the language in the import data 210 is allowed in the first information processing apparatus 101, and advances the process to step S106 when it is not allowed.

  In step S <b> 102, the import module 201 sets the language of the first information processing apparatus 101 to the language in the import data 210. More specifically, the import module 201 updates VALUE of a record whose KEY is LANGUAGE_SELECT in the setting value database 230 to a setting value representing a language in the import data 210. The setting value representing the language in the import data 210 is VALUE of a record whose KEY is LANGUAGE_SELECT. The import module 201 advances the process to step S103 after the process of step S102 is completed.

In step S <b> 103, the import module 201 determines whether the software keyboard layout in the import data 210 is allowed in the first information processing apparatus 101. More specifically, the import module 201 acquires VALUE of a record whose KEY in the import data 210 is KEYBOARD_SELECT. Then, the import module 201 determines whether or not the acquired VALUE is within a threshold range of an allowable value of KEYBOARD_SELECT in the setting value database 230. The threshold range of the allowable value of KEYBOARD_SELECT is the range of MIN and MAX of the record in which KEY is KEYBOARD_SELECT in the setting value database 230. When the acquired VALUE is within the threshold range of the allowable value of KEYBOARD_SELECT in the setting value database 230, the software keyboard layout in the import data 210 is allowed in the first information processing apparatus 101.
The import module 201 advances the process to step S104 when the software keyboard layout in the import data 210 is allowed in the first information processing apparatus 101, and advances the process to step S105 when it is not allowed.

  In step S <b> 104, the import module 201 sets the software keyboard layout of the first information processing apparatus 101 to the software keyboard layout in the import data 210. More specifically, the import module 201 updates VALUE of a record whose KEY is KEYBOARD_SELECT in the setting value database 230 to a setting value representing a software keyboard arrangement in the import data 210. The setting value representing the software keyboard layout in the import data 210 is VALUE of a record whose KEY is KEYBOARD_SELECT.

In step S <b> 105, the import module 201 sets the software keyboard layout of the first information processing apparatus 101 to the default software keyboard layout corresponding to the language of the import data 210 based on the language linkage table 220.
More specifically, the import module 201 searches the language linkage table 220 for a record in which LANGUAGE_SELECT matches the set value representing the language in the import data 210. Then, the import module 201 acquires KEYBOARD_SELECT of the retrieved record from the language link table 220.
Next, the import module 201 updates VALUE of the record whose KEY is KEYBOARD_SELECT in the setting value database 230 to a value acquired from the language linkage table 220.

In step S <b> 106, the import module 201 sets the language of the first information processing apparatus 101 to a predetermined default language. More specifically, the import module 201 updates VALUE of a record whose KEY is LANGUAGE_SELECT in the setting value database 230 to a setting value representing a predetermined default language. In the present embodiment, the predetermined default language is English whose set value is “1”. The import module 201 advances the process to step S107 after the process of step S106 ends.
In step S107, the import module 201 sets the software keyboard layout of the first information processing apparatus 101 to a predetermined default software keyboard layout. The import module 201 acquires a software keyboard layout corresponding to a predetermined default language based on the language link table 220 and sets it as a predetermined default software keyboard layout.

More specifically, the import module 201 searches the language linkage table 220 for a record in which LANGUAGE_SELECT matches a preset value representing a default language. Then, the import module 201 acquires KEYBOARD_SELECT of the retrieved record from the language link table 220.
Next, the import module 201 updates VALUE of the record whose KEY is KEYBOARD_SELECT in the setting value database 230 to a value acquired from the language linkage table 220.
In the present embodiment, the predetermined default language is English whose set value is “1”. Therefore, the default software keyboard layout corresponding to the predetermined default language is the USA layout with the setting value “1”, as can be seen from the language link table 220 in FIG.
The import module 201 ends the import process of FIG. 3 after the process of any of steps S104, S105, and S107 is completed.

  As described above, the import module 201 sets the software keyboard layout based on the setting value representing the language included in the import data 210 and the setting value representing the software keyboard layout. Therefore, the software keyboard layout of the first information processing apparatus 101 can be set appropriately.

The import module 201 performs the following setting when the software keyboard layout shown in the import data 210 is an allowable software keyboard layout. That is, the import module 201 sets the software keyboard layout of the first information processing apparatus 101 to the software keyboard layout represented in the import data 210. The import module 201 sets the software keyboard layout as follows when the software keyboard layout shown in the import data 210 is not allowed. That is, the import module 201 sets a software keyboard layout that is predetermined as a software keyboard layout corresponding to the language represented in the import data 210.
Therefore, even when a software keyboard layout that is not allowed in the first information processing apparatus 101 is specified, the language and the software keyboard layout are inconsistent, for example, the language is French and the software keyboard layout is the USA layout. You can avoid that. The first information processing apparatus 101 can set an appropriate software keyboard layout corresponding to the language. Therefore, it can be avoided that the user becomes difficult to use the first information processing apparatus 101.

Further, the import module 201 sets the language of the first information processing apparatus 101 to the language represented by the import data 210 when the language represented by the import data 210 is an acceptable language. Further, the import module 201 sets the language of the first information processing apparatus 101 to a default language when the language represented in the import data 210 is an unacceptable language.
Accordingly, in the first information processing apparatus 101, an appropriate language is set even when a language that is not permitted by the first information processing apparatus 101 is designated.

In addition, the second information processing apparatus 103 transmits the language set in the second information processing apparatus 103 and import data 210 representing the software keyboard layout to the first information processing apparatus 101. Therefore, when the first information processing apparatus 101 allows the language and the software keyboard layout that are supported by the second information processing apparatus 103 that is the import source device, the first information processing apparatus 101 receives the second information. It is set similarly to the processing device 103. Therefore, management of the first information processing apparatus 101 is facilitated.
