Character input device and character input method

摘要

According to one embodiment, a character input device includes a touch panel and a control unit. The touch panel detects contact with respect to a surface thereof. The control unit performs, when detection of contact is started on the touch panel, character recognition processing based on a trajectory connecting each position at which the contact is detected. The control unit displays, when a character is recognized by the character recognition processing, a virtual keyboard on a display surface of the touch panel to receive input of a character from the virtual keyboard.

1. A character input device comprising:
a touch sensor for detecting contact with respect to a surface thereof; a display for displaying a screen on which one or more objects each corresponding to a predetermined processing are arranged so as to be selected; and a control unit configured to
perform, when detection of contact is started on the touch sensor, character recognition processing based on a trajectory connecting each position at which the contact is detected,upon a character being recognized by the character recognition processing, perform processing related to the recognized character, andupon no character being recognized by the character recognition processing, select an object corresponding to the trajectory connecting each position at which the contact is detected, wherein the selected object corresponds to the position at which the contact is detected first, and the control unit is configured to perform a processing corresponding to only the selected object.
