USER INTERFACE DEVICE, USER INTERFACE METHOD, PROGRAM, AND COMPUTER-READABLE INFORMATION STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

To allow for entry of an intended word or sentence even if a vowel is input by mistake in a consonant input, a user interface device, which determines a character string related to gestures to sequentially write characters in the air made by a user, includes dictionary storage means for storing one conversion source character string that is an alphabetic string including only consonant(s) and at least one conversion source character string that is an alphabetic string including consonant(s) and vowel(s) in association with each of a plurality of conversion target character strings, conversion target character string obtaining means, when part or all of the alphabetic string recognized based on the gestures matches any one of the conversion source character strings stored in the dictionary storage means, for obtaining the conversion target character string stored in association with said one of the conversion source character strings, and determining means for determining the character string related to the gestures based on the obtained conversion target character string.

1. A user interface device that determines a character string related to gestures made by a user sequentially writing characters in the air, the user interface device comprising:
a dictionary storage unit configured to store one conversion source character string that is an alphabetic string including only consonant(s) and at least one conversion source character string that is an alphabetic string including consonant(s) and vowel(s) in association with each of a plurality of conversion target character strings; a conversion target character string obtaining unit configured to obtain one of the conversion target character strings stored in association with one of the conversion source character strings, when part or all of an alphabetic string recognized based on the gestures matches said one of the conversion source character strings stored in the dictionary storage unit; and a determining unit configured to determine the character string related to the gestures based on the obtained conversion target character string.
