PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simple input method of Japanese contracted sound in an input device including a touch screen keyboard.SOLUTION: An input method of Japanese contracted sound is achieved by an input device that includes a touch screen keyboard and a key input processing section. The input method includes the following steps: that a first character of contracted sound is input by the touch of a user to the touch screen keyboard and by the following first swipe input, in the key input processing section; that a second swipe input following the first swipe input by the user is sensed, in the key input processing section; and that a small letter of a "ya" column constituting the contracted sound is input by the second swipe input, in the key input processing section. In the input method, the first swipe input and the second swipe input are different to each other in swipe input directions.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3b |
