Abstract

A buffer receives input from a plurality of objects. A display controller performs control to cause a display unit to display received pieces of input content of the objects in divided frames in time-series order of reception and display received input content additionally in a frame that displays past input content when a specific condition is satisfied.

Claims

1. An input information support apparatus comprising:

a receiving unit that receives input from a plurality of objects; and

a display controller that performs control to cause a display unit to display pieces of input content of the objects received by the receiving unit in divided frames in time-series order of reception and display received input content additionally in a frame that displays past input content when a specific condition is satisfied.

2. The input information support apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

the specific condition is that, after an immediately preceding input content is received, a next input content of the same object is received before a predetermined first period of time, and

when the specific condition is satisfied, the display controller performs control to display the received input content additionally in a frame that displays the immediately preceding input content of the same object that satisfies the specific condition.

3. The input information support apparatus according to claim 2, wherein when receiving the next input content before a second period of time that is shorter than the first period of time after receiving the immediately preceding input content of the same object, the display controller performs control to display the received input content in the frame that displays the past input content following the past input content, and when receiving the next input content in a time range between the first time and the second time after receiving the immediately preceding input content of the same object, to display the received input content in the frame that displays the past input content with a line feed after the past input content.

4. The input information support apparatus according to claim 2, further comprising a changing unit that changes the first period of time to be longer when a method for inputting input content has been changed from the immediately preceding input of the same object, wherein

when receiving the next input content before the first period of time changed by the changing unit after receiving the immediately preceding input content of the same object, the display controller performs control to display the received input content additionally in the frame that displays the immediately preceding input content of the same object.

5. The input information support apparatus according to claim 1, wherein

the specific condition is that the immediately preceding input content and the received input content of the same object are a series of pieces of input, and

when the immediately preceding input content and the received input content of the same object are analyzed to be a series of pieces of input, the display controller performs control to display the received input content additionally in the frame that displays the immediately preceding input content of the same object.

6. A method for supporting input information that causes a computer to execute a process comprising:

receiving input from a plurality of objects; and

performing control to cause a display unit to display received pieces of input content of the objects in divided frames in time-series order of reception and display received input content additionally in a frame that displays past input content when a specific condition is satisfied.

7. A computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a program that causes a computer to execute a process comprising:

receiving input from a plurality of objects; and

performing control to cause a display unit to display received pieces of input content of the objects in divided frames in time-series order of reception and display received input content additionally in a frame that displays past input content when a specific condition is satisfied.
