INPUT DEVICE AND COMPUTER-READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM CONTAINING PROGRAM EXECUTED BY THE INPUT DEVICE
First Claim
1. An input device for inputting characters, comprising:
- a display control section configured to display, in a first region, an operational-element group composed of operational elements corresponding to characters and to display, in a second region, another operational-element group composed of operational elements corresponding to characters, the characters to which the operational elements of the operational-element group displayed in the first region correspond and the characters to which the operational elements of the operational-element group displayed in the second region correspond being different from each other in type;
a first input processing section configured such that, where an operation on the first region is detected, the first input processing section carries out input processing of a character specified by the operation, among the characters to which the operational elements of the operational-element group displayed in the first region correspond; and
a second input processing section configured such that, where an operation on the second region is detected, the second input processing section carries out input processing of a character specified by the operation, among the characters to which the operational elements of the operational-element group displayed in the second region correspond.

Abstract
A character input device, including: a display control section to display, in a first region, an operational-element group composed of operational elements corresponding to characters and to display, in a second region, another operational-element group composed of operational elements corresponding to characters, the characters corresponding to the respective operational-element groups displayed in the first and the second regions being different in type; a first input processing section to perform, upon detection of an operation on the first region, input processing of a character specified by the operation, among the characters to which the operational elements of the operational-element group displayed in the first region correspond; and a second input processing section to perform, upon detection of an operation on the second region, input processing of a character specified by the operation, among the characters to which the operational elements of the operational-element group displayed in the second region correspond.

7. A computer-readable recording medium containing a program executed by an input device for inputting characters, wherein the program includes:
-
a display control step of displaying, in a first region, an operational-element group composed of operational elements corresponding to characters and displaying, in a second region, another operational-element group composed of operational elements corresponding to characters, the characters to which the operational elements of the operational-element group displayed in the first region correspond and the characters to which the operational elements of the operational-element group displayed in the second region correspond being different from each other in type; a first input processing step of carrying out, where an operation on the first region is detected, input processing of a character specified by the operation among the characters to which the operational elements of the operational-element group displayed in the first region correspond; and a second input processing step of carrying out, where an operation on the second region is detected, input processing of a character specified by the operation among the characters to which the operational elements of the operational-element group displayed in the second region correspond.
