PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To avoid repeat of the input work of a character string to improve the work efficiency. SOLUTION: When an operation to select a conversion candidate by a user is performed in the stage of character input processing with a Japanese-language input system (IME) 2 under the control of an operation system (OS) 1, a message to report a character string of the selected conversion candidate is sent from the IME 2 to the OS 1. A message hook processing part 4 intercepts this message to extract the character string. A dictionary retrieval and display processing part 5 uses the extracted character string as a keyword to retrieve a dictionary file 7 and outputs a message, which reports information representing the retrieval result, to the OS 1. The OS 1 controls a driver for display in accordance with each message to display information related to the selected conversion candidate on a monitor picture together with a list of conversion candidates. |
