<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the operability of a character input regarding a character input device and a character input method. <P>SOLUTION: An image processing unit generates mouth-shaped image data by inputting mouth-shaped images. A mouth-shaped image collation database registers vowel information including vowels and syllabic nasals and mouth-shaped image data corresponding to each vowel information. A word conversion dictionary database registers word candidates associated with the vowel information. A control unit performs character input control. The control unit also converts mouth-shaped image data which are generated from mouth shape changes which are image-inputted into vowel information, and retrieves word candidates associated with converted vowel information. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
