PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently obtain a desired KANJI (Chinese character) by reducing an inputting burden in the case of performing Pin-yin input by a normal Pin-yin system. SOLUTION: When a character string expressing the reading of the KANJI of Chinese language is inputted through an input part 21, an accuracy checking processing part 25 checks whether or not the inputted character string can stand up as Pin-yin. With the timing of detecting that the inputted character string cannot stand up as Pin-yin, a prediction processing part 27 starts prediction processing to retrieve a Chinese dictionary 24 based on character strings inputted until just before then to predict a character string as Pin-yin including the inputted character string. Dictionary retrieval is carried out with this Pin-yin character string (predicted candidate) as the input of a dictionary retrieving part 23 and the candidate of the KANJI obtained by the dictionary retrieval is presented to a user by an output part 28. |
