Character input device

摘要

An information processing apparatus that determines a position of a touch input received at a display of the information processing apparatus, controls the display to display a string of candidate characters for input at a position on the display corresponding to the position of the touch input, detects selection of a desired character from the string of candidate characters, and controls the display to display the desired character in a character input field on the display.

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a display that receives a touch input; a memory; and circuitry configured to:
determine a position of a touch input on the display;control the display to display a string of candidate characters for input at a position on the display corresponding to the position of the touch input;detect selection of a desired character from the string of candidate characters;control the display to display the desired character in a character input field on the display;determine that a drag touch is performed on the display at a position corresponding to the display sting of candidate characters;determine whether a path of the drag touch input deviates within a predetermined angle range on a left of a path of the drag touch input;in a case that the circuitry determines that the path of the drag touch input deviates within the predetermined angle range, determine a lastly displayed candidate character prior to a start of the deviation of the drag path; andcontrol the display to display the lastly displayed candidate character prior to the start of the deviation of the drag as the desired character in the character input field on the display.
