Abstract

In a text data displaying apparatus, input text data is analyzed at a text data analyze unit using a correspondence table acquired at a correspondence table acquisition unit from a data storage unit, and animation data corresponding to a specific character string included in the text data is determined at animation data determine unit. At animation data acquisition unit, the determined animation data is acquired from data storage unit and written to a drawing memory at animation data drawing unit. A text drawing unit writes text therein, whereby the text data is displayed at a display unit with the text and the animation.

Claims

1. A text data displaying apparatus, comprising:

a text data analyze unit that has a correspondence table associating a pictorial character and animation data and that analyzes a pictorial character included in text data being input;

an animation data determine unit determining animation data corresponding to the pictorial character having been analyzed using said correspondence table;

a text data drawing unit writing the text data having been input;

an animation data drawing unit writing the animation data having been determined; and

a screen display unit displaying the text data having been written and the animation data having been written so as to be overlapped with each other.

2. The text data displaying apparatus according to claim 2, wherein

in an order of occurrence of said pictorial character in said text data, reproduction of said animation data corresponding to said pictorial data is sequentially started.

3. The text data displaying apparatus according to claim 2, further comprising

a display change instruct unit accepting an instruction of changing display, said display change instruct unit scrolling a display position of said text data in accordance with the instruction having been accepted, and not scrolling a display position of said animation data in accordance with the instruction having been accepted.

4. A text data displaying apparatus, comprising:

a text data analyze unit analyzing a retrieve character string included in text data being input;

an animation data determine unit determining animation data corresponding to the retrieve character string having been analyzed;

a text data drawing unit writing the text data having been input;

an animation data drawing unit writing the animation data having been determined; and

a screen display unit displaying the text data having been written and the animation data having been written so as to be overlapped with each other.

5. The text data displaying apparatus according to claim 4, wherein

in an order of occurrence of said retrieve character string in said text data, reproduction of said animation data corresponding to said retrieve character string is sequentially started.

6. The text data displaying apparatus according to claim 4, further comprising

a display change instruct unit accepting an instruction of changing display, said display change instruct unit scrolling a display position of said text data in accordance with the instruction having been accepted, and not scrolling a display position of said animation data in accordance with the instruction having been accepted.

7. A mobile phone apparatus comprising the text data displaying apparatus according to claim 4.

8. A computer readable medium recording a program for causing a computer to execute a text data displaying process that includes the steps of:

analyzing a retrieve character string included in text data being input;

determining animation data corresponding to the retrieve character string having been analyzed;

writing the text data having been input;

writing the animation data having been determined; and

displaying the text data having been written and the animation data having been written so as to be overlapped with each other.
