Abstract
An input method determining unit determines whether a hard button is short or long pressed, and an input switching control unit switches between modes. The input switching control unit determines that an operation mode is a touch operation one when the hard button is short pressed, and a touch-to-command converting unit converts an item corresponding to the short-pressed hard button into a command. The input switching control unit determines that the operation mode is a voice operation one when the hard button is long pressed, and a voice-to-command converting unit converts a voice recognition keyword which is voice-recognized into a command (item value). A state transition control unit generates an application execution command corresponding to the command, and an application executing unit executes an application.
