The area type is a characteristic of the area displayed in each layer. The area type includes a fixed character string area, a selection reception area, a variable display area, and a superimposed display area.

  Here, the display screen information 100 displayed on the information processing apparatus 10 will be described. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of display screen information according to the first embodiment. The display screen information 100 is, for example, a display screen displayed on the display 106a when the application 30a is activated.

  The fixed display area is an area where displayed information is always fixed. The display screen information 100 includes the terms “destination” and “address book” as “layer 1” and “fixed display area” in the layer management table 330a shown in FIG.

  The selection receiving area is an area for displaying information that is a target for receiving a selection from the user. The display screen information 100 includes destination information included in the address book as “layer 2” and “selection reception area” in the layer management table 330a shown in FIG. Further, the display screen information 100 includes a “read start” icon as “layer 3” and “selection reception area” in the layer management table 330a shown in FIG.

  The variable display area is an area where the display changes in the user function setting. The display screen information 100 includes reading setting information set by the user as “layer 4” and “variable display area” in the layer management table 330a shown in FIG.

  The superimposed display area is an area where a plurality of areas are superimposed and displayed. The display screen information 100 includes an area superimposed on the selection receiving area of “Layer 2” as “Layer 5” and “Superimposed display area” in the layer management table 330a shown in FIG.

  Furthermore, the layer management table 330a stores the presence / absence of competitive processing and information on priority processing in association with each layer and area. The competition process is a process in which a plurality of responses to the user's input operation exist. For example, when an input operation by long pressing is accepted for the “read start” icon shown in FIG. 10, there are a process for starting reading and a term correction process. These two processes are competing operations. In the layer management table 330a shown in FIG. 9, there is a competition process in layer 2 (selection reception area), layer 3 (selection reception area), and layer 5 (superimposed display area).

  The priority process is information indicating which process is to be prioritized when a conflict process exists in an area where a specific input operation by the user is accepted. In the layer management table 330a, for example, layer 2 (selection reception area) and layer 5 (superimposed display area) give priority to term correction processing, and layer 3 (selection reception area) performs processing other than term correction processing. Prioritize.

Display Screen Information Generation Processing Next, display screen information 100 generation processing displayed on the information processing apparatus 10 will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating an example of display screen information generation processing in the information processing apparatus according to the first embodiment. FIG. 11 shows an example in which the information processing apparatus 10 activates the application 30a.

  In step S101, the application control unit 14 shifts the processing to step S102 when the application 30a is activated. On the other hand, the application control part 14 repeats the process of step S101, when not starting the application 30a.

  In step S <b> 102, the application control unit 14 reads the term ID management table 210 and the priority management table 220 stored in the storage unit 18. Specifically, the application control unit 14 outputs a read request for the term ID management table 210 and the priority management table 220 to the storage / reading unit 17. The storage / reading unit 17 reads the term ID management table 210 and the priority management table 220 stored in the storage unit 18 when detecting the output read request. Then, the storage / reading unit 17 outputs the read term ID management table 210 and the priority management table 220 to the application control unit 14.

  In step S103, the application control unit 14 identifies the term module having the highest priority associated with the application 30a in the read priority management table 220. For example, the application control unit 14 specifies the term module 40a as the term module having the highest priority in the priority management table 220 illustrated in FIG.

  In step S104, the application control unit 14 extracts the term identification information of the identified term module 40 associated with the term ID of the term included in the display screen of the application 30a from the read term ID management table 210. When the term corresponding to the term ID “address_name” is included in the display screen of the application 30a, the application control unit 14 uses, for example, the term identification information associated with the term module 40a in the term ID management table 210 illustrated in FIG. "A0529224691" is extracted as follows.

  In step S105, the application control unit 14 acquires a term corresponding to the extracted term identification information. For example, the application control unit 14 acquires “delivery destination” as a term corresponding to the extracted term identification information “A052924691” in the term file 400a illustrated in FIG.

  In step S106, when the application control unit 14 has acquired all the terms included in the display screen of the application 30a, the application control unit 14 shifts the process to step S107. On the other hand, the application control part 14 repeats the process from step S103, when the term which is not acquired remains among the terms contained in the display screen of the application 30a.

  In step S <b> 107, the display control unit 13 generates the display screen information 100 using the terms acquired by the application control unit 14.

  In step S108, the determination unit 33a of the application 30a reads the registration information management table 320a stored in the storage unit 37a. Specifically, the determination unit 33a outputs a read request for the registration information management table 320a to the storage / read unit 36a. When the output / read request is detected, the storage / reading unit 36a reads the registration information management table 320a stored in the storage unit 37a. Then, the storage / reading unit 36a outputs the read registration information management table 320a to the determination unit 33a.

  In step S109, the determination unit 33a of the application 30a shifts the process to step S110 when the read registration information management table 320a includes the term identification information of the term included in the display screen of the application 30a. In step S110, the update unit 35a of the application 30a replaces the term included in the display screen information 100 generated by the display control unit 13 with the registered term included in the registration information management table 320a. Specifically, when the display screen information 100 includes the term identification information “A052924691”, the update unit 35a rewrites the registered term “mail destination” associated with the term identification information “A052924691”. In step S111, the display control unit 13 causes the display 106a to display the display screen information 100 updated by the update unit 35a.

  The determination unit 33a determines whether registration information corresponding to a term included in the display screen is stored in the registration information management table 320a in response to a request for display of the display screen of the application 30a. And when it is judged that the registration information corresponding to the term contained in a display screen is memorize | stored in the registration information management table 320a, the update part 35a updates the display screen information 100 using the said registration information.

  Here, the registration information included in the registration information management table 320a is used in common on different display screens of the application 30a. That is, in other words, the determination unit 33a determines whether the term included in the display screen to be displayed is a term that has been corrected on another screen. When the determining unit 33a determines that the term has been corrected, the updating unit 35a updates the display screen information 100 using the corrected term (registered information). Therefore, the information processing apparatus 10 can apply the term corrected on the display screen corresponding to the application 30a to the term included in another display screen corresponding to the application 30a.

  On the other hand, in step S109, when the registration information management table 320a does not include the term identification information of the terms included in the display screen of the application 30a, the determination unit 33a shifts the processing to step S112. In step S112, the display control unit 13 causes the display 106a to display the generated display screen information 100. That is, the information processing apparatus 10 determines that the registration information corresponding to the term included in the display screen is not stored in the registration information management table 320a by the determination unit 33a. Do not update.

Display Screen Information Update Processing FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating an example of display screen information update processing in the information processing apparatus according to the first embodiment. FIG. 12 illustrates an example in which the display screen information 100 is displayed on the display 106a of the information processing apparatus 10 by the processing illustrated in FIG.

  In step S201, when the detection unit 32a of the application 30a detects a specific input operation received by the reception unit 12, the process proceeds to step S202 (an example of a detection step). The specific input operation is a gesture operation such as a flick operation or a long press on the display screen. On the other hand, the detection part 32a repeats the process of step S201, when reception of specific input operation is not detected.

  In step S202, the determination unit 33a of the application 30a reads the layer management table 330a stored in the storage unit 37a. Specifically, the determination unit 33a outputs a read request for the layer management table 330a to the storage / read unit 36a. The storage / reading unit 36a reads the layer management table 330a stored in the storage unit 37a when detecting the output read request. Then, the storage / reading unit 36a outputs the read layer management table 330a to the determination unit 33a.

  In step S203, the determination unit 33a specifies an operation reception region that is a region where the input operation specified by the detection unit 32a is detected. Specifically, the determination unit 33a specifies, as an operation reception area, an area in which a specific input operation is detected among the areas included in the display screen information 100 illustrated in FIG.

  In step S204, the determination unit 33a causes the process to proceed to step S205 when a term is included in the specified operation reception area. On the other hand, when no term is included in the specified operation reception area, the determination unit 33a does not need to update the term, and thus ends the process.

  In step S205, the determination unit 33a causes the process to proceed to step S206 if there is a competition process in the identified operation reception area. Specifically, when the contention process associated with the layer name corresponding to the specified operation reception area is “present” in the read layer management table 330a, the determination unit 33a shifts the process to step S206. On the other hand, when the contention process associated with the layer name corresponding to the specified operation reception area is “none” in the read layer management table 330a, the determination unit 33a shifts the process to step S207.

  In step S206, when the priority process corresponding to the specified operation reception area is “term” in step S206, the determination unit 33a shifts the process to step S207. On the other hand, when the priority process corresponding to the specified operation reception area is “other than term”, the determination unit 33a ends the process.

  In step S207, the application 30a updates the registration information included in the registration information management table 320a. In addition, the application 30 a updates the display screen information 100 generated by the display control unit 13.

  Here, the update process of the registration information and the display screen information 100 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of a term registration process and a display screen information update process in the information processing apparatus according to the first embodiment.

  In step S301, the determination unit 33a of the application 30a reads the term ID management table 210 stored in the storage unit 18. Specifically, the determination unit 33a outputs a read request for the term ID management table 210 to the storage / read unit 17 via the input / output unit 31a. The storage / reading unit 17 reads the term ID management table 210 stored in the storage unit 18 when detecting the output read request. Then, the storage / reading unit 17 outputs the read term ID management table 210 to the determination unit 33 a via the application control unit 14.

  In step S <b> 302, the determination unit 33 a uses the read term ID management table 210 to acquire the term ID of the term included in the specified operation reception area. In step S303, the generation unit 34a of the application 30a generates input screen information 110 used to correct the term corresponding to the acquired term ID.

  In step S304, the display control unit 13 displays the input screen information 110 generated by the generation unit 34a (an example of a correction screen display step). Specifically, the input / output unit 31 a transmits the generated input screen information 110 to the display control unit 13 via the application control unit 14. Then, the display control unit 13 switches the display 106a from the display screen information 100 to the input screen information 110.

  Details of the input screen information 110 will be described here. FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of input screen information according to the first embodiment. The input screen information 110 illustrated in FIG. 14 includes a display term area 151 in which the term ID acquired by the determination unit 33a and the term information displayed on the current display screen information 100 are described.

  The input screen information 110 includes an input area 152 that receives an input of a term intended by the user by an input operation by the user. The user can correct a term included in the display term area 151 by inputting an intended term into the input area 152 by using an input unit such as the keyboard 105 or the display 106a. Further, the input screen information 110 includes an OK button 153 and a cancel button 154.

  In step S305, when the reception unit 12 receives a user input to the OK button 153 included in the input screen information 110, the reception unit 12 shifts the process to step S306. In step S306, the update unit 35a updates the registration information included in the registration information management table 320a. Specifically, when accepting a user input to the OK button 153 included in the input screen information 110, the accepting unit 12 transmits the input term information to the application control unit 14. The application control unit 14 transmits the received term information to the update unit 35a via the input / output unit 31a. Then, the updating unit 35a stores the received term information as registration information in the registration information management table 320a.

  In step S307, the update unit 35a of the application 30a corrects the term included in the display screen information 100 to the received term, and updates the display screen information 100 (an example of a display screen update step). In step S308, the display control unit 13 causes the display 106a to display the updated display screen information 100. As a result, when the term displayed on the application 30a has contents not intended by the user, the information processing apparatus 10 can easily correct the term intended by the user from the UI.

  On the other hand, if the accepting unit 12 has not accepted selection of the OK button 153 included in the input screen information 110 in step S305, the process proceeds to step S309. In step S309, when the reception unit 12 receives selection of the cancel button 154 included in the input screen information 110, the reception unit 12 shifts the processing to step S310. On the other hand, when the reception unit 12 has not received selection of the cancel button 154, the reception unit 12 repeatedly performs the processing from step S305. In step S310, the display control unit 13 displays the generated display screen information 100 on the display 106a. In this case, the application 30a does not register a term in the registration information management table 320a and update the display screen information 100.

Effect of First Embodiment As described above, the information processing apparatus according to the first embodiment executes a specific input operation to the display screen information 100 displayed on the display 106a by executing the application 30. Is detected, the input screen information 110 for correcting the term included in the display screen information 100 is displayed, and the term included in the display screen information 100 is corrected to the term specified using the input screen information 110. To do. Therefore, the information processing apparatus 10 can improve the convenience for the user when correcting the terms included in the display screen information 100.

● Modification of the first embodiment ●
Next, an information processing system according to a modification of the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of an input screen according to a modification of the first embodiment. The input screen information 110 </ b> A illustrated in FIG. 15 includes a selection area 155 that displays a candidate for correction in a selectable manner instead of the input area 152 included in the input screen information 110.

  The selection area 155 displays a plurality of terms included in the registration information management table 500 and the term file 400 in a state where the user can select them as correction term candidates. The user can correct the term by selecting any term included in the selection area 155.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating an example of a term registration process and a display screen information update process in the information processing apparatus according to the modification of the first embodiment. In step S401, the determination unit 33a of the application 30a reads the term ID management table 210 stored in the storage unit 18. Specifically, the determination unit 33a outputs a read request for the term ID management table 210 to the storage / read unit 17 via the input / output unit 31a. The storage / reading unit 17 reads the term ID management table 210 stored in the storage unit 18 when detecting the output read request. Then, the storage / reading unit 17 outputs the read term ID management table 210 to the determination unit 33 a via the application control unit 14. In step S402, the determination unit 33a uses the read term ID management table 210 to acquire the term ID of the term included in the specified operation reception area.

  In step S403, the generation unit 34a reads the registration information management table 320a stored in the storage unit 37a. In step S404, the generation unit 34a extracts registration information associated with the term ID acquired by the determination unit 33a from the registration information management table 320a.

  In step S405, the generation unit 34a reads the term file 400 stored in the term module 40. Specifically, the generation unit 34a outputs a read request for the term file 400 to the application control unit 14 via the input / output unit 31a. The application control unit 14 acquires the term file 400 from the storage unit 41 of the term module 40. Then, the application control unit 14 outputs the acquired term file 400 to the generation unit 34a. When there are a plurality of term modules 40 corresponding to the application 30a, the generation unit 34a may read the term file 400 from all the corresponding term modules 40, or designate a specific term module 40 and specify the term file. 400 may be read.

  In step S406, the generation unit 34a extracts the term acquired by the determination unit 33a and associated with the term ID from the read term file 400.

  Note that the order of the processes in steps S403 to S404 and the processes in steps S405 to S406 may be reversed or may be performed in parallel. Moreover, both the process of step S403-step 404 and the process of step S405-step 406 may be performed, and only either one may be performed.

  In step S407, the generation unit 34a of the application 30a generates the input screen information 110A illustrated in FIG. 15 using at least one of the extracted registration information and terms. In addition, since the process of subsequent step S408-step S414 is the same as the process of step S304-step S310 shown in FIG. 13, description is abbreviate | omitted.

  As described above, the information processing system according to the modification of the first embodiment can register a term using the input screen information 110B in which the registration candidate terms are selectably displayed. When the term displayed on the device 10 is corrected, the convenience for the user can be improved.

In FIG. 19, it is assumed that the display screen information 100 is generated in the information processing apparatus 10 in the processing shown in steps S <b> 101 to S <b> 107 in FIG. 11.

  In step S <b> 501, the transmission / reception unit 11 transmits an acquisition request for the registration information management table 500 to the application server 50. When the transmission / reception unit 51 receives an acquisition request for the registration information management table 500, the management unit 52 of the application server 50 reads the registration information management table 500 stored in the storage unit 54. In step S <b> 502, the transmission / reception unit 11 acquires the registration information management table 500 transmitted from the application server 50.

  In step S503, when the acquired registration information management table 500 includes term identification information of a term included in the display screen of the application 30a, the determination unit 33a of the application 30a shifts the processing to step S504. In step S504, the update unit 35a of the application 30a corrects the term included in the display screen information 100 generated by the display control unit 13 to the registered term included in the registration information management table 320a. Specifically, when the display screen information 100 includes the term identification information “A052924691”, the update unit 35 a corrects the registration information “mail destination” associated with the term identification information “A052924691”.

  In step S505, the display control unit 13 causes the display 106a to display the display screen information 100 updated by the update unit 35a.

  On the other hand, in step S503, when the registration information management table 320a does not include the term identification information of the terms included in the display screen of the application 30a, the determination unit 33a shifts the processing to step S112. In step S504, the display control unit 13 displays the generated display screen information 100 on the display 106a.

  FIG. 20 is a diagram illustrating an example of a term registration process and a display screen information update process according to the second embodiment. FIG. 20 illustrates a case where the input screen information 110 is generated by the generation unit 34 a of the information processing apparatus 10.

Specifically, the determination unit 33a outputs a read request for the registration information management table 320a to the storage / read unit 36a. When the output / read request is detected, the storage / reading unit 36a reads the registration information management table 320a stored in the storage unit 37aC. Then, the storage / reading unit 36 a outputs the read registration information management table 320 a to the application control unit 14.

  In step S806, when the read registration information management table 320a includes term identification information of a term included in the display screen of the application 30a, the determination unit 33a of the application 30a shifts the processing to step S807. In step S807, the update unit 35a of the application 30a replaces the term included in the display screen information 100 generated by the display control unit 13 with the registered term included in the registration information management table 320a. Specifically, when the display screen information 100 includes the term identification information “A052924691”, the update unit 35a rewrites the registered term “mail destination” associated with the term identification information “A052924691”. In step S808, the display control unit 13 causes the display 106a to display the display screen information 100 updated by the update unit 35a.

  On the other hand, in step S804, if the user authentication fails, the authentication unit 39a moves the process to step S809. In step S806, when the registration information management table 320a does not include the term identification information of the terms included in the display screen of the application 30a, the determination unit 33a shifts the processing to step S809. In step S809, the display control unit 13 causes the display 106a to display the generated display screen information 100.

  Note that the information processing apparatus 10C may have a configuration in which the registration information included in the registration information management table 320a is associated with each user. In this case, the information processing apparatus 10C can store registration information for each user authenticated by the authentication unit 39a, and can switch and display the display screen information 100 corresponding to the authenticated user.

Effect of Fourth Embodiment Therefore, the information processing system according to the fourth embodiment further includes an authentication unit 39 that performs user authentication in the information processing apparatus 10C. Therefore, the information processing system according to the fourth embodiment can cause only the user authenticated by the authentication unit 39 to correct the term included in the display screen information 100.
