CHARACTER INPUT DEVICE, CHARACTER INPUT METHOD OF CHARACTER INPUT DEVICE, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE MEDIUM

1 . A character input device comprising:

an input unit that receives an input of a character and an input of deletion of the character;

a display unit that displays the character inputted through the input unit;

a deletion character information storage unit that stores deletion character information deleted in response to the input of the deletion through the input unit; and

a control unit that determines whether or not character information inputted through the input unit and at least a portion of the deletion character information stored in the deletion character information storage unit match, and displays a portion of the deletion character information as an input candidate on the display unit when determining the match.

2 . The character input device according to claim 1 , wherein

the input unit further receives an input of conversion of the character, and

the control unit determines whether or not the character information that is inputted through the input unit and is converted and at least the portion of the deletion character information stored in the deletion character information storage unit match.

3 . A character input device comprising:

an input unit that receives an input of a character and an input of deletion of the character;

a display unit that displays the character inputted through the input unit;

a deletion character information storage unit that stores deletion character information deleted in response to the input of the deletion through the input unit; and

a control unit that determines whether or not character information inputted through the input unit and at least a portion of character information for conversion-inputting the deletion character information match, and displaying a portion of the deletion character information as an input candidate on the display unit when determining the match.

4 . The character input device according to claim 3 ,

wherein the control unit is triggered by the input of the deletion through the input unit to generate a plurality of candidates including at least a portion of the character information for conversion-inputting the deletion character information and store the plurality of candidates in the deletion character information storage unit, and determines whether or not the character information inputted through the input unit and one of the plurality of candidates stored in the deletion character information storage unit match.

5 . The character input device according to claim 1 , wherein

the deletion character information storage unit further stores deletion direction information indicating whether the deletion character information has been deleted from a head or a tail, and

the control unit determines whether the deletion character information has been deleted from a head or a tail based on the deletion direction information of the deletion character information storage unit when determining the match,

displays at least a portion of the deletion character information including a character on the rear side of the deletion character information as an input candidate, on the display unit when determining that the deletion character information has been deleted from the head, and

displays at least a portion of the deletion character information including a character on the front side of the deletion character information as an input candidate, on the display unit when determining that the deletion character information has been deleted from the tail.

6 . The character input device according to claim 1 , wherein the control unit displays portions of the deletion character information as the input candidates in order from smaller numbers of characters.

7 . A character input method of a character input device comprising:

storing deleted deletion character information;

determining whether or not character information inputted after the deletion and at least a portion of the stored deletion character information match; and

displaying a portion of the deletion character information as an input candidate when determining the match.

8 . A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a program causing a character input device to perform the method according to claim 7 .

9 . A character input method of a character input device comprising:

storing deleted deletion character information;

determining whether or not character information inputted after the deletion and at least a portion of character information for conversion-inputting the stored deletion character information match; and

displaying a portion of the deletion character information as an input candidate when determining the match.

10 . A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a program causing a character input device to perform the method according to claim 9 .

11 . A character input device comprising:

input means an input of a character and an input of deletion of the character;

display means for displaying the character inputted through the input means;

deletion character information storage means for storing deletion character information deleted in response to the input of the deletion through the input means; and

control means for determining whether or not character information inputted through the input means and at least a portion of the deletion character information stored in the deletion character information storage means match, and displaying a portion of the deletion character information as an input candidate on the display means when determining the match.

12 . A character input device comprising:

input means an input of a character and an input of deletion of the character;

display means for displaying the character inputted through the input means;

deletion character information storage means for storing deletion character information deleted in response to the input of the deletion through the input means; and

control means for determining whether or not character information inputted through the input means and at least a portion of character information for conversion-inputting the deletion character information match, and displaying a portion of the deletion character information as an input candidate on the display means when determining the match.
