  Here, operation | movement of the control part 45 for exhibiting the function mentioned above is demonstrated in detail. As described above, the mobile phone device 1 includes the LCD display unit 21, the operation unit 11, and the control unit 45.

  When a character input operation is performed on a plurality of keys of the operation unit 11, the control unit 45 displays characters input by the operation and conversion candidates corresponding to the input characters on the LCD display unit 21. Let

  In addition, when a character input operation is performed after the input character and text information different from the conversion candidate corresponding to the input character are displayed on the LCD display unit 21, the control unit 45 performs the input by the operation. A character string extracted from the text information displayed on the LCD display unit 21 is displayed on the LCD display unit 21 as a conversion candidate corresponding to the written character.

  Specifically, when text information is scrolled and displayed in the pictogram information area 103 (for example, “Today's weather in the Kanto region is fine”), the control unit 45 performs an operation of character input by the operation unit 11. When it is performed (for example, “ki” input operation), a character string (for example, “today”) extracted from the text information is displayed on the LCD display unit 21 as a conversion candidate for “ki”. Therefore, the user can input a desired character string only by selecting from the conversion candidates without inputting the full text of the character string displayed in the pictogram information area 103.

  In addition, although it mentioned above about the aspect when text information is scroll-displayed, it is not restricted to this, For example, the control part 45 may extract a character string from the text information which scroll display has already ended.

  In this manner, the cellular phone device 1 extracts a predetermined character string from the scrolled character string and inserts the character string into the conversion candidate, so that it is scroll-displayed in the pictogram information area 103. It is possible to provide efficient input assistance to a user who creates a sentence by inputting characters while looking at a character string.

  The text information is preferably information received by the communication unit 50. In the case of such a configuration, the control unit 45 causes the LCD display unit 21 to display text information received by the communication unit 50.

  In this manner, the cellular phone device 1 extracts a predetermined character string from the scrolled character string and inserts the character string into the conversion candidate, so that it is scroll-displayed in the pictogram information area 103. It is possible to provide efficient input assistance to a user who creates a sentence by inputting characters while watching a character string (news or the like).

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the mobile phone device 1 includes a memory 44 (nonvolatile memory) and a playback unit 46. Here, the text information is text information included in data stored in the memory 44 that is played back by the playback unit 46. In addition, the control unit 45 scrolls and displays the text information reproduced by the reproduction unit 46 in the picto information area 103.

  For example, the playback unit 46 performs playback processing on movie data stored in the memory 44 and causes the LCD display unit 21 to display the video after the playback processing. When the subtitle information is included in the video reproduced by the reproduction unit 46, the control unit 45 scrolls and displays the subtitle information as text information in the picto information area 103.

  In this manner, the mobile phone device 1 extracts a predetermined character string from the subtitle information that is scroll-displayed, and inserts the character string into a conversion candidate. It is possible to provide efficient input assistance to a user who creates a sentence by inputting characters while viewing subtitle information.

  In addition, when the text information is acquired, the control unit 45 analyzes and analyzes the text information into a plurality of words, generates a reading kana for each word, and stores the word in association with the generated reading kana. When a character input operation is performed, the character input by the operation is read as a kana, the word corresponding to the initial is read, and displayed on the LCD display unit 21 as a part of the conversion candidate. Is preferred.

  In this way, the cellular phone device 1 generates the kana for each word by morphological analysis of the text information scroll-displayed in the picto information area 103, and stores them in association with each other. In a state where the text information is scrolled and displayed in 103, it is possible to provide efficient input assistance to a user who performs character input and creates a sentence.

The control unit 45 preferably performs analysis by morphological analysis before displaying the text information on the LCD display unit 21.
Therefore, since the control unit 45 receives the text information and performs morphological analysis before scrolling the pictogram information area 103 to display the text, the text is created while looking at the text information scrolled to the pictogram information area 103. At this time, the character string included in the text information can be reliably reflected in the conversion candidate.

  Further, as described above, kana characters are assigned to the operation unit 11 (strictly speaking, kana characters are assigned to keys by referring to an assignment table of kana characters).

  With this configuration, when the text information is analyzed by analyzing the text information into a plurality of words, the control unit 45 assigns and stores a reading kana to the kanji obtained by the morphological analysis, When the input operation of the kana character is performed by the unit 11, the kanji character is displayed on the LCD display unit 21 as a conversion candidate when the kana character matches the kana reading kana obtained by the morphological analysis. Is preferred.

  Therefore, the control unit 45 performs morphological analysis on the text information, assigns and stores reading kana to kanji obtained by morphological analysis, and when the operation unit 11 performs an input operation of kana characters. When the kana character matches the kana reading kana obtained by the morphological analysis, the kanji is displayed on the LCD display unit 21 as a conversion candidate, so that the sentence can be read while referring to the text information in the pictogram information area 103. At the time of creation, a desired kanji can be included in the conversion candidate.

  Further, as described above, the operation unit 11 is uniquely assigned letters and numbers to a plurality of keys. When any of a plurality of keys is operated, the control unit 45 accepts both characters and numbers corresponding to the operated keys as input candidates, and a word having either of the input candidate characters or numbers as the first word is received. If it is included in a plurality of words of text information subjected to morphological analysis, a configuration in which the word is included in a conversion candidate and displayed on the LCD display unit 21 is preferable.

  For example, when the text information “Mr. Sato got married in April” is scroll-displayed in the pictogram information area 103, the control unit 45 associates “Shigatsu” and “4” with “April”. Therefore, when the key printed with the numeral “3” and the hiragana “sa” is pressed twice by the operation unit 11, “shi” is displayed in the first display area 101. Other candidates are displayed with “April” at the top of the conversion candidates, and “33” is displayed in the second display area 102.

Further, when the key printed with the numeral “4” and the hiragana “ta” is pressed once by the operation unit 11, the control unit 45 displays “ta” in the first display area 101. Normal conversion candidates (for example, “just” or “second”) are displayed as the conversion candidates, “4” is displayed in the second display area 102, and “April” is displayed as the conversion candidates. Other candidates are displayed at the top.
In this manner, when the input operation by the operation unit 11 is performed in a state where the text information is scrolled and displayed in the pictogram information area 103, the cellular phone device 1 uses both characters and numbers corresponding to the operation. Since conversion candidates are displayed for, efficient input assistance can be provided to a user who creates a sentence.

  In addition, when any of the plurality of keys is operated, the control unit 45 receives both characters and numbers corresponding to the operated keys as input candidates, and the received characters are displayed on the first display of the LCD display unit 21. A configuration is preferable in which the received number is displayed in the area 101, the received number is displayed in the second display area 102 of the LCD display unit 21, and the conversion candidate is displayed in a predetermined position (see FIG. 3B).

  With this configuration, the mobile phone device 1 displays both characters and numbers separately based on the user's input operation, and also displays conversion candidates for the characters. Processing that reflects the intention can be performed.

In addition, the control unit 45 displays characters in the first display area 101 and displays characters in the second display area 102, and when a character conversion operation is performed (for example, the determination operation key 15 When the up / down key is operated), it is determined that the input is the character displayed in the first display area 101, and the conversion process is performed on the character displayed in the first display area 101. . The control unit 45, in a case where the operation of the outgoing call has been performed (for example, if the off-hook button of the input operation keys 14 is selected), the input of the number that is displayed in the second display region 102 It is preferable that the call processing is performed using the number displayed in the second display area 102 as a telephone number.

  By being configured in this way, the cellular phone device 1 displays both characters and numbers separately based on the user's input operation, and the user's clear operation on the input characters or numbers Accordingly, the character conversion process or call process is performed, so that the process reflecting the user's intention can be performed.

  When the text information is received by the communication unit 50, the control unit 45 displays the text information on the LCD while maintaining the operating state of the application even when the application that performs a predetermined function is operating. A configuration in which a part of the unit 21 (for example, the pictogram information area 103) is preferable.

  Therefore, for example, the mobile phone device 1 performs character input while looking at the text information scroll-displayed in the pictogram information area 103 while the calendar application or the TV viewing application is running. Efficient input assistance can be provided to the user who performs the creation.

It is displayed (FIG. 6C).

  Next, an embodiment in the case where there are a plurality of text information scroll-displayed in the pictogram information area 103 will be described. In the following, the second text information (for example, “Kiba jockey falls ...”) is scroll-displayed after the first text information (for example, “... In addition, a description will be given assuming that the second pictographic information includes a new conversion candidate (kanji character “Koba” versus kanji “Kiba”).

  The control unit 45 captures conversion candidates from the entire text of the second text information except for the selected conversion candidate (in this embodiment, “old horse” in FIG. 6D) (hereinafter referred to as a first conversion candidate). Or a process of fetching conversion candidates for the next conversion from the second text information (hereinafter referred to as a second process) after the selected conversion is confirmed.

  In the case of the first process, as shown in FIG. 6E, the control unit 45 performs a process of changing the order of conversion candidates in accordance with the second text information (in this embodiment, “Kiwa”). Replace “Kiba”).

  In the case of the second process, the control unit 45, as shown in FIG. 6 (f), displays a frame portion (hereinafter, referred to as the third display area 104) in which conversion candidates are displayed according to the second text information. The conversion candidate box is blinked. Then, when the conversion candidate is determined, the control unit 45 performs a process of replacing the content of the conversion candidate with the content of the second text information (in this embodiment, “ Kiba "is displayed with priority).

  Next, a process for fetching conversion candidates from the text information scroll-displayed in the picto information area 103 will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS.

  In step ST <b> 11, the control unit 45 detects reception of pictographic information data (meaning text information) via the communication unit 50.

  In step ST <b> 12, the control unit 45 stores the detected picto information data in the memory 44.

  In step ST <b> 13, the control unit 45 scrolls and displays the pictographic information data as text information in the pictographic information area 103.

  In step ST <b> 14, the control unit 45 performs a predetermined process when detecting an input operation of a key constituting the operation unit 11. Specifically, the control unit 45 specifies the operated key, and reads out characters and numbers assigned to the specified key.

  In step ST15, the control unit 45 activates an editor application that accepts character input and numeric input.

  In step ST16, the control unit 45 detects a character input process in accordance with the operation of the operation unit 11, and proceeds to step ST17. Actually, an input operation of a key constituting the operation unit 11 is detected in the process of step ST14, and when a character is assigned to the key, this may be determined as a character input process. . Although not shown, when the character input process is not detected, the process of step ST16 is repeated until the character input process is detected.

  In step ST17, the control unit 45 detects character conversion processing in accordance with the operation of the operation unit 11, and proceeds to step ST18. In this step, the control unit 45 determines whether a conversion candidate is associated with the input character, and determines that a character conversion process has been detected if the conversion candidate is associated. Although not shown, when the character conversion process is not detected, the process of step ST17 is repeated until the character conversion process is detected.

  In step ST18, the control unit 45 performs, for example, morphological analysis and analysis on the pictographic information data stored in the memory 44 by the process of step ST12.

  In step ST19, the control unit 45 determines whether the pictogram formation data is reflected on the conversion candidate from the analysis result by the morphological analysis in the process of step ST18. If it is determined that the conversion candidate is reflected (Yes), the process proceeds to step ST20. If it is determined that the conversion candidate is not reflected (No), the process ends. For example, from the analysis result by morphological analysis, the control unit 45 determines that the pictographic information data is not reflected in the conversion candidate when only the single-byte alphanumeric characters are included.

  In step ST20, the control unit 45 performs a conversion candidate rewriting process. Specifically, the control unit 45 performs a conversion candidate rewrite process so that the conversion candidate obtained from the result of the morphological analysis in step ST18 is displayed with priority over other conversion candidates.

  In step ST <b> 21, the control unit 45 displays conversion candidates in the third display area 104. Thereafter, when the second text information is scroll-displayed, the control unit 45 proceeds to the process of step ST22. Hereinafter, the second text information is referred to as second picto information.

  In step ST <b> 22, the control unit 45 performs a process of scroll-displaying the second pictogram information in the pictogram information area 103 as shown in FIG. 8. At this time, the control unit 45 stores the second pictographic information data in the memory 44.

  In step ST23, the control unit 45 performs the same processing as in step ST17, step ST18, and step ST19, performs morphological analysis on the second pictogram information data stored in the memory 44, and analyzes the result. From this, it is determined whether or not to reflect in the conversion candidate. If it is determined that the conversion candidate is reflected (Yes), the process proceeds to step ST24. If it is determined that the conversion candidate is not reflected (No), the process is terminated.

  In step ST24, the control unit 45 determines whether it is a post-processing time as a timing to be reflected in the conversion candidate. If it is determined that the post-processing is being performed (Yes), the process proceeds to step ST26, and if it is determined that the post-processing is not being performed (No), the process proceeds to step ST25. Note that “post-processing” means processing for a character after a predetermined character input is confirmed. For example, after “converting” an input character, a process for determining how to reflect the input character on the next conversion candidate corresponds to “post-processing”.

  In addition, after this step, the conversion candidate updated to the content of the first picto information is described at which time point (timing) to be changed to the content of the second picto information.

  In step ST25, the control unit 45 performs a conversion candidate rewriting process. Specifically, the control unit 45 performs conversion candidate rewrite processing so that conversion candidates obtained from the result of the morphological analysis in step ST23 are displayed with priority over other conversion candidates.

  In step ST <b> 26, the control unit 45 determines whether to perform the conversion after the current conversion is confirmed as the timing for changing the conversion candidate to the content of the second pictographic information. When it is performed after the conversion is confirmed (Yes), the process proceeds to step ST27, and when it is not performed after the conversion is confirmed (No), the process proceeds to step ST31.

  In step ST <b> 27, the control unit 45 performs a confirmation process on the unconfirmed characters displayed in the first display area 101.

  In step ST28, the control unit 45 performs processing for fetching conversion candidates obtained from the result of morphological analysis in the process of step ST23.

  In step ST29, the control unit 45 performs a conversion candidate rewriting process. Specifically, the control unit 45 performs a conversion candidate rewrite process so that the conversion candidates obtained by performing the morphological analysis on the second pictogram information data are displayed with priority over other conversion candidates. .

  In step ST30, the control unit 45 performs a process of displaying the conversion candidate that has been rewritten in the process of step ST29 on the third display area 104.

  Moreover, in step ST31, the control part 45 judges whether a user designates as a timing which changes a conversion candidate into the content of 2nd picto information. When the user designates (Yes), the process proceeds to step ST32, and when the user does not designate (No), the process proceeds to step ST25.

  In step ST32, the control unit 45 changes the display format of the conversion candidate box displayed in the third display area 104 (for example, blinking).

  In step ST33, the control unit 45 determines whether a user's selection operation has been detected. If it is determined that the user's selection operation has been detected (Yes), the process proceeds to step ST29. If it is determined that the user's selection operation has not been detected (No), the process of step ST33 is performed under a certain condition. Repeat.
