<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a character input device performing alphanumeric translation after receiving input of a character while keeping a kana character input mode and capable of displaying an alphanumeric transformation candidate for each input character and determining an input character string when a desired translation unit of characters is inputted. <P>SOLUTION: In this character input device, a numerical key is operated for inputting an undefined character while keeping the character input mode to the kana input mode, and then, alphanumeric translation is carried out. The character input device 21 is provided with an alphanumeric translation control part 26, a character input mode continuation control part 25, and a main control part 22. When an alphanumeric translation key is operated for a first undefined character or character string inputted in the kana input mode, the alphanumeric translation part displays an alphanumeric translation candidate character for the inputted character on a display part 23 and continues an alphanumeric translation mode, and the character input continuation control part performs control for continuing the kana input mode. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
