1. A retrieval device comprising:
- a touch panel that displays a list, wherein a data specific information piece is arranged in the list and is represented by a hierarchical structure comprising a plurality of attribute information pieces;
a retrieval character reception section that receives one or more retrieval characters of the data specific information piece for identifying data of a data group, wherein the retrieval character reception section receives the one or more retrieval characters via a handwritten input to the list on the touch panel, wherein one or more input locations are associated with the retrieval characters, wherein the one or more input locations are indicative of one or more hierarchical levels associated with the retrieval characters, and wherein receiving the retrieval characters is based on a comparison of a currently set hierarchical level to the one or more hierarchical levels associated with the retrieval characters;
an information retrieval section that retrieves the data specific information piece with the one or more retrieval characters; and
a retrieval result display section that displays a retrieval result of the information retrieval section on the touch panel, wherein the one or more retrieval characters that are input to the touch panel by handwriting are not displayed on the touch panel as part of the displayed retrieval result.

10. A retrieval method comprising:
-
receiving, via a retrieval character reception section, one or more retrieval characters for a data specific information piece for identifying data of a data group, wherein the data specific information piece is represented by a hierarchical structure including a plurality of attribute information pieces; retrieving, via an information retrieval section, the data specific information piece with the one or more retrieval characters; and displaying, via a retrieval result display section, a retrieval result of the information retrieval section on a touch panel, wherein the one or more characters that are input to the touch panel by handwriting are not displayed on the touch panel as part of the displayed retrieval result; wherein receiving the one or more retrieval characters includes receiving the one or more retrieval characters via a handwritten input to a list on the touch panel, wherein the data specific information piece is arranged in the list and displayed on the touch panel, wherein one or more input locations are associated with the retrieval characters, wherein the one or more input locations are indicative of one or more hierarchical levels associated with the retrieval characters, and wherein receiving the retrieval characters is based on a comparison of a currently set hierarchical level to the one or more hierarchical levels associated with the retrieval characters. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)

13. A non-transitory, computer-readable recording medium that stores a retrieval program executable by a computer, the retrieval program comprising:
-
a first program code that causes the computer to receive one or more retrieval characters for a data specific information piece for identifying data of a data group, wherein the computer receives the one or more retrieval characters via a handwritten input to a list on a touch panel wherein one or more input locations are associated with the retrieval characters, wherein the one or more input locations are indicative of one or more hierarchical levels associated with the characters, and wherein receiving the retrieval characters is based on a comparison of a currently set hierarchical level to the one or more hierarchical levels associated with the retrieval characters; a second program code that causes the computer to retrieve the data specific information piece with the one or more retrieval characters, wherein the data specific information piece is represented by a hierarchical structure including a plurality of attribute information pieces; and a third program code that causes the computer to display a retrieval result obtained by the second program code on the touch panel, wherein the data specific information piece is arranged and displayed on the touch panel, wherein the one or more retrieval characters that are input to the touch panel by handwriting are not displayed on the touch panel as part of the displayed retrieval result. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
