This is because the timing at which the user notices an input error is not always constant. To explain using the above example, the user may notice an input error when inputting up to “6 is y64”, or may notice an input error when inputting up to “6”. That is, even if the same character string is erroneously input many times, the same character string is not always input.

In this way, the determination unit 141 continuously deletes the character string “6 is y64.” Or a part of the character string “6 is y64.” In the storage unit 130 four times in succession. Since the number of times “4” is larger than the deletion operation threshold “3”, it is determined that the state where NumLock is “ON” is an input mode not desired by the user.

- the changing unit 242 of the information processing apparatus 300 changes the input mode of the kana to “Romaji input” (Step S509).
- FIG. 15 is a flowchart illustrating the katakana input mode optimization processing procedure performed by the information processing apparatus 300 according to the third embodiment.
- the Katakana input mode is controlled by the Katakana Hiragana Roman key. For example, when the input mode is “Kana input”, the user changes the input mode to “Hiragana” or “Katakana” by pressing the Katakana Hiragana Roman character key while pressing the Shift key. To do.
- the determination unit 141 of the information processing device 300 monitors whether or not a deletion operation has been performed on the input information in a state where the input mode is “katakana” (Yes in step S601). To do.

- Step S608 when an operation for changing the input mode is received on the confirmation screen (Yes at Step S608), the changing unit 242 of the information processing apparatus 300 changes the input mode of the kana to “Hiragana” (Step S609).
- the information processing apparatus 300 can also optimize the input mode controlled by the control keys such as “half-width / full-width Kanji key”, “Katakana Hiragana Roman key”, and the like. Note that the above is an example, and the information processing apparatus 300 can optimize the input mode controlled by another control key such as a “Scroll Lock key”, for example.

- the information processing apparatus 100 or the like uses the deletion operation threshold stored in the storage unit 130 to determine whether or not the input mode is desired by the user. .
- the information processing apparatus 100 or the like may update the deletion operation threshold stored in the storage unit 130.
- the information processing apparatus 100 or the like may update the deletion operation threshold to a small value when the input mode optimization processing is performed many times within a predetermined period. More specifically, for example, it is assumed that the deletion operation threshold “5” is stored in the storage unit 130. In this state, within a predetermined period (for example, one day), the user erroneously presses the control key many times, and the information processing apparatus 100 performs the input mode optimization processing a predetermined number of times (for example, 5). Times). In such a case, the information processing apparatus 100 may update the deletion operation threshold to a value smaller than “5” (for example, “3”) and perform the input mode optimization process at an earlier timing.
- a predetermined period for example, one day
- the information processing apparatus 100 may update the deletion operation threshold to a value smaller than “5” (for example, “3”) and perform the input mode optimization process at an earlier timing.
- the information processing apparatus 100 and the like can optimize the input mode at an earlier timing when used by a user who does not know the control key operation method and the like.
- the information processing apparatus 200 or the like may not display the confirmation screen when an operation for changing the input mode is continuously received from the user a predetermined number of times or more on the confirmation screen. This is because a user who performs an operation to change the input mode on the confirmation screen every time is considered not to be familiar with the control key operation method and the like. That is, for such a user, the input mode optimization process may be performed without confirming that the input mode is to be changed on the confirmation screen. Thereby, the information processing apparatus 200 or the like can optimize the input mode without causing the user to perform confirmation work.
- the information processing apparatuses 100, 200, and 300 that optimize the input mode controlled by the control key have been described using specific examples of the control key.
- one information processing apparatus may have the functions of the information processing apparatuses 100, 200, and 300 described above.
- the storage unit 130 of the information processing apparatus may store a deletion operation threshold value for each control key.
- FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating a computer 1000 that executes an input mode optimization program.
- the computer 1000 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 1010 that executes various arithmetic processes, a keyboard 1020 and a touch pad 1030 that receive input of information from the user, and a display 1040 that displays various information.
- a medium reader 1050 for reading a program from a recording medium, a RAM 1060 for temporarily storing various information, and a hard disk device 1070 are connected by a bus 1080.
- the hard disk device 1070 stores an input mode optimization program 1071 having the same function as the control unit 140 or 240 shown in FIG. 2 or FIG.
- the hard disk device 1070 stores input mode optimization data 1072 corresponding to various data stored in the storage unit 130 illustrated in FIG. 2 or FIG. Note that the input mode optimization data 1072 can be appropriately distributed and stored in another computer connected via a network.
- the RAM 1060 stores input mode data 1062 that is information related to the “input mode” that is information that is actually assigned to the keyboard 1020.
- the CPU 1010 reads out the input mode optimization program 1071 from the hard disk device 1070 and develops it in the RAM 1060, whereby the input mode optimization program 1071 functions as the input mode optimization process 1061. Then, the input mode optimization process 1061 appropriately expands information read from the input mode optimization data 1072 in an area allocated to itself on the RAM 1060, and based on the expanded data, the input mode data 1062, and the like. Various data processing is executed.
- the input mode optimization program 1071 does not necessarily need to be stored in the hard disk device 1070.
- the computer 1000 reads out and executes this program stored in a storage medium such as a CD-ROM. Also good.
- the computer 1000 stores the program in another computer (or server) connected to the computer 1000 via a public line, the Internet, a LAN (Local Area Network), a WAN (Wide Area Network), or the like. You may make it read and run a program from these.

上記実施例1~3では、情報処理装置100等が、記憶部130に記憶されている削除操作閾値を用いて、利用者が所望する入力モードになっているか否かを判定する例を示した。ここで、情報処理装置100等は、記憶部130に記憶されている削除操作閾値を更新してもよい。
上記実施例2および3では、入力モードを変更するか否かを確認するための確認画面を表示部110に表示制御する例を示した。ここで、情報処理装置200等は、確認画面において、利用者から入力モードを変更する旨の操作を所定の回数以上連続して受けた場合には、確認画面を表示しないようにしてもよい。これは、確認画面において入力モードを変更する旨の操作を毎回行う利用者は、制御キーの操作手法等を熟知していないと考えられるからである。すなわち、このような利用者に対しては、確認画面において入力モードを変更する旨の確認をするまでもなく入力モード適正化処理を行ってもよいと考えられる。これにより、情報処理装置200等は、利用者に確認作業を行わせることなく入力モードを適正化することができる。
上記実施例1~3では、制御キーの具体例を挙げて、かかる制御キーによって制御される入力モードを適正化する情報処理装置100、200および300について説明した。しかし、1個の情報処理装置が、上述した情報処理装置100、200および300が有する機能を有してもよい。かかる場合、情報処理装置の記憶部130は、制御キー毎に削除操作閾値を記憶してもよい。
上記実施例1~3で説明した各種の処理は、あらかじめ用意されたプログラムをパーソナルコンピュータやワークステーションなどのコンピュータで実行することによって実現することができる。そこで、以下では、図16を用いて、上記実施例1~3と同様の機能を有する入力モード適正化プログラムを実行するコンピュータの一例を説明する。図16は、入力モード適正化プログラムを実行するコンピュータ1000を示す図である。
