CONSTITUTION: A touch screen(110) generates a touch event in response to the manipulation of a user. A display unit(130) displays an identifier representing different keypads. If the touch event selecting the identifier is received from the touch screen, a control unit(150) displays a keypad corresponding to the selected identifier.
