Text field input selection based on selecting a key on a graphically displayed keyboard
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus that accepts an input through an input screen selectively displayed on a display of a separate operation terminal from among a plurality of input screens, comprising:
- a display unit for displaying a plurality of input areas configured to accept inputs through the input screen appearing on the display of the separate operation terminal;
a type acquisition unit for acquiring a type of a software key appearing for the separate operation terminal input screen being selectively displayed on the display of the separate operation terminal, the type of the software key being one among a plurality of types of software keys different from each other; and
an area decision unit for deciding an input area from the plurality of input areas being displayed on the display unit, the decided input area corresponding to the type acquired by the type acquisition unit based on the acquired type of the software key, the decided input area being an input accepting area that accepts inputs with the acquired type of the software key through the input screen appearing on the display of the operation terminal.

Abstract
An MFP (Multi-Functional Peripheral) as an information processing apparatus accepts an input through a keyboard selectively displayed on the touch panel of an operation terminal from among a plurality of keyboards configured with software key groups different from each other. The MFP displays a setting screen including a plurality of input areas on the touch panel. When the setting screen appears, the MFP acquires the type of the selectively displayed keyboard and decides an input accepting area that accepts an input through the selectively displayed keyboard, from among the plurality of input areas.
