1. An apparatus for modifying an input area, the apparatus comprising:
- a memory; and
a processor executing instructions stored in the memory to;
display a first input area on a device;
detect a user input in a second input area of a touch screen, wherein the second input area comprises a plurality of objects being displayed thereon;
perform, when the user input comprises a first operation of a one-point tap operation selecting one of the displayed objects of the second input area, an input function corresponding to the selected object, wherein the first input area displays, concurrently in time, a plurality of input candidates which are estimated based on the first operation;
modify, when the user input comprises a second operation of an at-least-two point flick operation made upon at least one of the displayed objects of the second input area, the first input area in accordance with a processing that is selected based on a direction and a length of the flick operation; and
select a desired one of the displayed input candidates based on the direction of the flick operation when the direction of the flick operation is in correspondence with a direction associated with the desired one of the displayed input candidates,wherein, when the second operation is a left-flick operation, the processing is an execution of a backspace as an input operation so as to revert the performance of the input function corresponding to the selected object.

Abstract
An apparatus is provided for modifying an input area, comprising a memory and a processor executing instructions stored in the memory. The processor executes instructions stored in the memory to display a first input area on a device. The processor further executes instructions stored in the memory to detect a user input in a second input area. The processor still further executes instructions stored in the memory to perform, if the user input comprises a first operation, an input function; and modify, if the user input comprises a second operation, the first input area.

21. A method for modifying an input area, comprising:
-
displaying a first input area; detecting a user input in a second input area of a touch screen, wherein the second input area comprises a plurality of objects being displayed thereon; performing, when the user input comprises a first operation of a one-point tap operation selecting one of the displayed objects of the second input area, an input function corresponding to the selected object, wherein the first input area displays, concurrently in time, a plurality of input candidates which are estimated based on the first operation; modifying, when the user input comprises a second operation of an at-least-two point flick operation made upon at least one of the displayed objects of the second input area, the first input area in accordance with a processing that is selected based on a direction and a length of the flick operation; and selecting a desired one of the displayed input candidates based on the direction of the flick operation when the direction of the flick operation is in correspondence with a direction associated with the desired one of the displayed input candidates, wherein, when the second operation is a left-flick operation, the processing is an execution of a backspace as an input operation so as to revert the performance of the input function corresponding to the selected object. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24)

25. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a computer, perform a method of modifying an input area, the method comprising:
-
displaying a first input area; detecting a user input in a second input area of a touch screen, wherein the second input area comprises a plurality of objects being displayed thereon; performing, when the user input comprises a first operation of a one-point tap operation selecting one of the displayed objects of the second input area, an input function corresponding to the selected object, wherein the first input area displays, concurrently in time, a plurality of input candidates which are estimated based on the first operation; modifying, when the user input comprises a second operation of an at-least-two point flick operation made upon at least one of the displayed objects of the second input area, the first input area in accordance with a processing that is selected based on a direction and a length of the flick operation; and selecting a desired one of the displayed input candidates based on the direction of the flick operation when the direction of the flick operation is in correspondence with a direction associated with the desired one of the displayed input candidates, wherein, when the second operation is a left-flick operation, the processing is an execution of a backspace as an input operation so as to revert the performance of the input function corresponding to the selected object. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28)
