- the recommended character string determination unit 82 determines a recommended character string for the input character string using the determined set of character string candidates.
- an appropriate input candidate can be recommended according to the input location without performing complicated operations.
- the input support system also includes dictionary determination information (for example, input history) in which input position specifying information that is information that can specify an input position (for example, an input field, an input page, etc.) of a character string is associated with the character string A character string that is more likely to be input to the input location from the input location of the character string, based on the dictionary determination information and the dictionary determination information storage portion (for example, the dictionary determination information storage portion 41) You may provide the identification information determination part (for example, dictionary identification information determination part 42) which determines the character string set identification information for specifying a candidate set. Then, the character string set determination unit 83 may determine a set of character string candidates based on the determined character string set identification information.
- dictionary determination information for example, input history
- input position specifying information that is information that can specify an input position (for example, an input field, an input page, etc.) of a character string is associated with the character string A character string that is more likely to be input to the input location from the input location of the character string, based on the dictionary
- Such a configuration eliminates the need to clearly indicate in the input page which dictionary to use on the site side, thereby reducing the production cost of the person who creates the input page.
- the input support system also includes an input history registration unit that registers an input history in which an input character string is associated with input location specifying information representing an input location where the character string is input in the dictionary determination information storage unit. It may be. According to such a configuration, there is an effect that work on the site side becomes unnecessary.
- the input support system also displays an input screen (for example, the input screen display unit 30) that displays an input screen in which character string set identification information is predetermined for each input field or for each input page including one or more input fields. ), And when it is detected that a character string has been input in the input field (for example, when a character is input or a predetermined button is pressed), the input field or the input page including the input field
- a specific information notification unit for example, the input screen display unit 30 for notifying at least one character string set identification information to the character string set determination unit may be provided.
- the character string set determination unit 83 sets a character string set to be recommended according to the input position of the character string or information that can specify the set (for example, an additional recommended character string) as character string set identification information. You may add to the set of character string candidates determined based on it. According to such a configuration, a character string that is likely to be input on the site side can also be included in the recommended character string, so that a more appropriate character string can be recommended to the user.
- the input screen display unit may display the recommended character string determined for the character string input in the input field in association with the input field (for example, list display).
- the present invention is preferably applied to an input support system that supports user input in the input field.

Abstract
Description
図1は、本発明による入力支援システムの第1の実施形態の構成例を示す説明図である。本実施形態の入力支援システムは、インプットメソッド実行部10と、文字列候補記憶部20と、入力画面表示部30とを備えている。
次に、本発明による入力支援システムの第2の実施形態を説明する。第1の実施形態では、インプットメソッド実行部10が入力画面表示部30から直接文字列集合識別情報を受け取って、文字列候補の集合を決定した。言い換えると、第1の実施形態の入力支援システムでは、入力箇所に応じて文字列集合識別情報が設定され、その文字列集合識別情報を用いて推薦文字列を決定した。
次に、本発明による入力支援システムの第3の実施形態を説明する。第2の実施形態では、辞書判定器40が、入力箇所特定情報と文字列とを対応付けた入力履歴に基づいて辞書を決定する方法を説明した。本実施形態では、各入力箇所に入力された内容を保存し、その保存された内容を利用して辞書を決定する点において第2の実施形態と異なる。
図13は、本発明による入力支援システムの第4の実施形態の構成例を示す説明図である。なお、第1の実施形態と同様の構成については、図1と同一の符号を付し、説明を省略する。本実施形態の入力支援システムは、インプットメソッド実行部60と、文字列候補記憶部20と、入力画面表示部70とを備えている。
