Mobile terminal device and program used in mobile terminal device
First Claim
1. A mobile terminal device provided with a plurality of keys, comprising:
- a touch detector configured to detect a user touching the key;
a press detector configured to detect the user pressing the key;
a display unit configured to sequentially display characters, as candidate characters, assigned to the key pressed by the user, when the press detector detects the user pressing the key; and
a controller configured to convert the candidate character displayed on the display unit to a finalized character, when an untouched time period during which the user does not touch the pressed key reaches a predetermined judging time after the press detector detects the user pressing the key.
