FIG. 11 is a diagram showing still another example of the display of the predictive conversion candidates displayed on the label printer according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a label printer 1 according to one embodiment. The label printer 1 includes an input unit 3, a display unit 4, and a lid 5 in a housing 2, and further includes a storage unit 6 below the lid 5. Note that the printing method of the label printer 1 is not particularly limited. For example, a thermal transfer method using a thermal paper or a thermal transfer method using an ink ribbon may be used.

  The input unit 3 includes various keys such as a character input key, a cross key, a conversion key, and an enter key. The display unit 4 is, for example, a liquid crystal display, and displays a character string to be printed on a print medium. The storage unit 6 stores a print medium having a print surface and an adhesive surface.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a physical configuration of the label printer 1. The label printer 1 includes an input unit 3, a display unit 4, a processor 10, a memory 11, a storage unit 12, a portable recording medium driving unit 13 containing a portable recording medium 14, a printing unit 15, It has.

  The processor 10 is a control unit that controls the operation of the label printer 1, and reads a system program or a control program into the memory 11 and executes it. The memory 11 includes a ROM (Read Only Memory) storing a system program and a RAM (Random Access Memory) functioning as a work memory when executing various programs. The storage unit 12 is, for example, a hard disk drive (HDD) or a solid state drive (SSD), and mainly stores a control program and data necessary for executing the program. The portable recording medium 14 is, for example, an optical disk or a memory card, and mainly stores a control program and data necessary for executing the program. The printing unit 15 prints the print medium transported from the storage unit 6. Further, when the printing medium is a continuous medium, a function of cutting to a predetermined size is also provided.

  FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the label printer 1. The label printer 1 is an information device having a predictive conversion function, and FIG. 3 illustrates a configuration related to display control of predictive conversion candidates. The label printer 1 includes an operation detection unit 21, a prediction conversion unit 22, a display control unit 23, a first storage unit 24 that stores a user's operation history, and a second storage unit that stores a predetermined operation pattern. , A third storage unit 26 that stores the display history of the display unit 4, and the display unit 4.

  The operation detection unit 21 detects a user operation on the input unit 3 and causes the first storage unit 24 to store the detected operation content and operation time as an operation history. When the operation detecting unit 21 detects a conversion operation (for example, pressing a conversion key), the predictive conversion unit 22 determines a character string input before pressing the conversion key based on a character string in an undetermined state. And a plurality of predictive conversion candidates predicted as words input by the user.

  When the operation detecting unit 21 detects a conversion operation or an operation of selecting a prediction conversion candidate (for example, pressing the left and right keys), the display control unit 23 selects one of the plurality of prediction conversion candidates determined by the prediction conversion unit 22. One of the prediction conversion candidates is displayed. More specifically, a prediction conversion candidate selected by the user from a plurality of prediction conversion candidates (hereinafter, referred to as a first prediction conversion candidate) is displayed on the display unit 4. That is, the display unit 4 displays the first prediction conversion candidate according to the instruction from the display control unit 23. In addition, the display control unit 23 causes the third storage unit 26 to store the display content and the like displayed on the display unit 4 as a display history.

  When the display unit 4 cannot display the entirety of the first prediction conversion candidate selected by the user, the display control unit 23 determines a display mode based on the operation history of the user and an operation pattern registered in advance. It is configured to Specifically, based on the operation history stored in the first storage unit 24 and the operation pattern stored in the second storage unit 25, a part (first part) of the first predictive conversion candidate Is displayed on the display unit 4 or a different part (second part) of the first predictive conversion candidate is displayed on the display unit 4, and the display unit 4 is controlled according to the determination. Hereinafter, a display mode in which a part of the first predictive conversion candidate is displayed on the display unit 4 is referred to as a first display mode, and a display mode in which a different part of the first predictive conversion candidate is displayed on the display unit 4. Is referred to as a second display mode.

  The display control unit 23 determines whether or not the user is confused on the basis of the above-described operation history and operation pattern, and when determining that the user is confused, changes the display mode to the second display mode. May be determined. In this case, the second storage unit 25 stores in the second storage unit 25 an operation pattern to be performed when the user is confused, that is, whether the predictive conversion candidate displayed on the display unit 4 is a word that the user wants to confirm the input. It is desirable that an operation pattern expected to be performed when the user is uncertain in determining whether or not to perform the determination is stored.

  Further, the display control unit 23 may determine the display mode based on the display history stored in the third storage unit 26 in addition to the operation history and the operation pattern. By referring to the display history, the display control unit 23 can more accurately determine whether the user is lost in the determination.

  According to the label printer 1 configured as described above, only a part of the prediction conversion candidates that cannot be displayed on the display unit 4 is displayed according to the operation of the user (for example, only the range that can be displayed at once is displayed. B) The first display mode and the second display mode for displaying the whole can be appropriately used. For this reason, unless the entirety of the predictive conversion candidate is confirmed, the predictive conversion is performed only when it is difficult to determine whether the predictive conversion candidate is a word intended for input (ie, when the user is confused). The entire candidate can be displayed. Therefore, it is possible to easily determine whether the prediction conversion candidate selected by the user is correct or not. In addition, by displaying the entirety of the prediction conversion candidates only when necessary, the user can perform an efficient operation (in particular, an operation of selecting a conversion candidate).

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a flow of the display process of the prediction conversion candidate performed by the label printer 1. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of data of the predictive conversion dictionary 30 included in the label printer 1.

  When the operation detecting unit 21 detects a conversion operation such as pressing a conversion key, the label printer 1 determines a plurality of predictive conversion candidates corresponding to the input character string (step S1). Here, the predictive conversion unit 22 searches the predictive conversion dictionary 30 by setting the input character string as a search key, so that a plurality of predictive conversion candidates are determined. Hereinafter, an example in which the input character string is “contest” will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, five predictive conversion candidates (prediction conversion candidates C1 to C5) corresponding to "KONBI" are recorded in the prediction conversion dictionary 30 of the label printer 1.

  When a plurality of prediction conversion candidates are determined, the label printer 1 displays the first prediction conversion candidate C1 (“convenience store”) on the display unit 4 (Step S2). Here, the display control unit 23 displays “convenience store” on the display unit 4 and updates the display history stored in the third storage unit 26.

  Thereafter, the label printer 1 determines whether a confirmation operation such as pressing of a confirmation key is detected (Step S3). When the confirmation operation is detected, the predictive conversion candidate (here, the predictive conversion candidate C1) being displayed on the display unit 4 is determined as an input character, and the operation history stored in the first storage unit 24 is determined. And all the operation patterns stored in the second storage unit 25 are deleted (step S7), and the process ends. On the other hand, if the confirmation operation has not been detected, the label printer 1 further determines whether or not a selection operation such as pressing of the left and right keys has been detected (step S4).

  When the selection operation is detected by the operation detection unit 21, the label printer 1 determines the display mode (Step S5). Here, the operation detection unit 21 updates the operation history stored in the first storage unit 24, and the display control unit 23 updates the operation history and the operation pattern stored in the second storage unit 25. The display mode is determined based on. Note that the display control unit 23 may determine the display mode based on the display history stored in the third storage unit 26 in addition to the operation history and the operation pattern. After that, the label printer 1 displays the selected predictive conversion candidate in the determined display mode (step S6), and repeats the processing from step S3.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of the display of the predictive conversion candidates displayed on the label printer 1. FIG. 6 illustrates an example in which the display control unit 23 determines the display mode to be the second display mode when a second or subsequent selection operation for selecting the same predictive conversion candidate (for example, the predictive conversion candidate C2) occurs. It is shown. In this case, the second storage unit 25 selects the same prediction conversion candidate during the second and subsequent selection operations for selecting the same prediction conversion candidate, that is, from the start to the end of the display processing of the prediction conversion candidate. When the selection operation is performed twice or more, the second and subsequent selection operations are defined as operation patterns and stored.

  When the user presses the right key once after the conversion operation and selects the second predictive conversion candidate C2, as shown in FIG. The predictive conversion candidate C2 is displayed in an area R1 for five full-width characters. Further, when the right key is pressed once to select the third predictive conversion candidate C3, as shown in FIG. 6B, the predictive conversion candidate C3 is displayed in the region R1. Here, the selection of the prediction conversion candidate C2 and the prediction conversion candidate C3 is the first selection, and the display mode is determined to be the first display mode. Therefore, the prediction conversion candidate C2 (“convenience”) and the prediction conversion candidate Only the first five characters (“convenience store”) of the candidate C3 (“convenience store”) are displayed in the region R1. In the area R2, the number of remaining characters for which the prediction conversion candidates have not been completely displayed is displayed. The input character string "konbi" is displayed in a lower-case six-character area R3 of the display unit 4.

  Thereafter, when the user presses the left key and selects the prediction conversion candidate C2 again, the prediction conversion candidate C2 is displayed in the region R1 as shown in FIG. At this time, the display of the region R1 and the region R2 is the same as that in FIG. However, since the selection of the prediction conversion candidate C2 is the second time, the display mode is determined to be the second display mode. For this reason, when the user further presses the right key, as shown in FIG. 6D, the first half (“convenience”) of the prediction conversion candidate C3 is displayed in the region R1, but the prediction conversion candidate C2 is displayed. Is displayed. Then, when the user further presses the right key, as shown in FIG. 6E, the first half (“convenier”) of the prediction conversion candidate C3 is displayed in the region R1.

  When the second and subsequent selection operations for selecting the same predictive conversion candidate are performed, it is highly likely that the user is confused about the determination. That is, since the region R1 of the display unit 4 has only five characters, the content displayed in the region R1 of the display unit 4 does not change in FIGS. 6A and 6B. At this time, although the number displayed in the region R2 has changed, since the user is watching the region R1, the user does not notice that the prediction conversion candidate displayed in the region R1 has been switched from C2 to C3. It is highly probable that a selection operation for displaying the immediately preceding predictive conversion candidate C2 again was performed. For this reason, as in the example shown in FIG. 6, by determining the display mode to the second display mode in such a case, the user can easily determine whether or not the selected prediction conversion candidate is correct. Become.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating another example of the display of the predictive conversion candidates displayed on the label printer 1. In the example shown in FIG. 7, instead of displaying the number of remaining characters displayed in the region R1 in the region R2, a mark indicating that there are characters that cannot be displayed is displayed in FIG. This is different from the example shown. 7 (a), 7 (b), 7 (c), and 7 (e), there is a character that cannot be displayed after the character string displayed in the region R1. In FIG. 7D, an upward mark indicating that there is a character that has not been displayed in front of the character string displayed in the region R1 is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the operation of switching the part of the prediction conversion candidate displayed in the region R1 during the second display mode is also different from the example shown in FIG. In FIG. 6, the display portion is switched by the same operation as the operation of selecting the prediction conversion candidate (the operation of pressing the left and right keys), whereas in FIG. Switch of the display portion.

  In FIG. 7, as in FIG. 6, the user can easily determine whether or not the selected predictive conversion candidate is correct. In FIG. 7, since the operation of switching the display portion is different from the operation of selecting the prediction conversion candidate, the remaining characters are displayed regardless of whether the display control unit 23 has set the display mode to the second display mode. The user can arbitrarily select whether to display the column.

  8 and 9 are diagrams showing still another example of the display of the prediction conversion candidates displayed on the label printer 1. FIG. In the examples shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, when the display mode is determined to be the second display mode by the selection operation in the reverse direction (here, pressing the left key), the rear part of the prediction conversion candidate is prioritized. The point displayed in the region R1 is different from the example shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 8, a portion extracted from the rear of the predictive conversion candidate by the number of characters that can be displayed in the region R1 (here, five characters) is displayed as a rear portion in the region R1. In the example shown in (1), a part excluding a multiple (here, five characters) of the number of characters that can be displayed in the region R1 from the front of the prediction conversion candidate is displayed in the region R1 as a rear part.

  Also in the examples of FIGS. 8 and 9, similarly to FIG. 6, the user can easily determine whether or not the selected predictive conversion candidate is correct. In addition, in the examples of FIGS. 8 and 9, a portion that is not displayed in the first selection is preferentially displayed, so that it is possible to determine whether the prediction conversion candidate selected by fewer operations is correct.

  FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating another example of the display of the predictive conversion candidates displayed on the label printer 1. In the example shown in FIG. 10, when the display mode is determined to be the second display mode, the predictive conversion candidates are automatically scroll-displayed in the region R1 as shown in FIGS. 10 (c) to 10 (f). 6 is different from the example shown in FIG. Other points are the same as the example shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 10, as in FIG. 6, the user can easily determine whether or not the selected predictive conversion candidate is correct. In FIG. 10, the operation of switching the display portion can be omitted.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating still another example of the display of the predictive conversion candidates displayed on the label printer 1. FIG. 11 shows a second and subsequent selection operation for selecting the same predictive conversion candidate, in which the elapsed time from the previous selection operation for selecting the same predictive conversion candidate exceeds a predetermined time (for example, 1 second). An example is shown in which, when an operation occurs, the display mode is determined to be the second display mode. In this case, the above operation is stored in the second storage unit 25 as an operation pattern.

  When the user presses the right key once and selects the second predictive conversion candidate C2 after the conversion operation, as shown in FIG. 11A, the first half of the predictive conversion candidate C2 is displayed in the region R1. . Further, when the right key is pressed once to select the third predictive conversion candidate C3, as shown in FIG. 11B, the first half of the predictive conversion candidate C3 is displayed in the region R1.

  Thereafter, when the user presses the left key to select the prediction conversion candidate C2 again, the second selection operation of the prediction conversion candidate C2 is performed within one second from the previous selection operation of the prediction conversion candidate C2. If so, as shown in FIG. 11C, the first half of the predictive conversion candidate C2 is displayed in the region R1, and the display mode is determined to be the first display mode. Therefore, when the user further presses the right key, the first half (“convenience store”) of the predictive conversion candidate C3 is displayed in the region R1 as shown in FIG. 11D.

  On the other hand, if the second selection operation of the predictive conversion candidate C2 is performed more than one second after the previous operation of selecting the predictive conversion candidate C2, as shown in FIG. Shows the first half of the predictive conversion candidate C2, and the display mode is determined to be the second display mode. For this reason, when the user further presses the right key, the latter half (“lance”) of the prediction conversion candidate C2 is displayed as shown in FIG. Then, when the right key is further pressed, as shown in FIG. 11F, the first half (“convenier”) of the prediction conversion candidate C3 is displayed in the region R1.

  In FIG. 11, as in FIG. 6, the user can easily determine whether or not the selected predictive conversion candidate is correct. Further, in FIG. 11, since the display mode is determined in consideration of the elapsed time from the previous selection of selecting the same predictive conversion candidate, it is possible to determine the situation where the user is confused in determination with higher accuracy. Can be. For this reason, a more appropriate display mode can be determined.

  It is desirable that the label printer 1 can execute any display method selected from the display methods of the predictive conversion candidates shown in FIGS. 6 to 11 by changing the setting on the setting screen, for example.

  The above-described embodiments show specific examples for easy understanding of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. Various modifications and changes can be made to the information device, the method of displaying prediction conversion candidates, and the program without departing from the spirit of the present invention defined by the claims.

  For example, although a label printer is illustrated, the information device having the predictive conversion function is not limited to a label printer, and may be a personal computer, a smartphone, or a car navigation device.

  Further, the fact that the display of the region R1 has not changed before and after the user's operation may be added to the condition for determining the display mode to the second display mode. This is because if the display of the region R1 has not changed, it is highly likely that the user has lost his judgment. In this case, it is desirable that the display control unit 23 refers to the display history stored in the third storage unit 26.

  The display control unit 23 may determine the display mode to be the second display mode other than when it is determined that the user is not sure. For example, when a user performs a predetermined operation such as selecting the right key a plurality of times in a short time, the display mode may be determined to be the second display mode. This makes it possible to switch the display mode according to the user's will before a situation occurs in which the user loses judgment.

When it is determined that the operation history including the operation of “1” matches the operation pattern stored in the second storage unit, the operation history is displayed on the display unit as the first part of the first predictive conversion candidate. A method for displaying a predictive conversion candidate, wherein a part that is not displayed is displayed on the display unit. On the computer,
A function to detect the input user operation,
A function of storing the detected operation history of the user in the first storage unit;
A function of determining a plurality of prediction conversion candidates to be predicted based on the input character string,
