Abstract

In a mobile terminal capable of making cost required for a server or the like other than a terminal unnecessary and of simplifying key operations, when a user inputs an instruction to copy a desired page by operating an operation portion (12), a copy control portion (22) fetches in character string data of the page concerned and data discrimination means (24) classifies the fetched character string data into the character data of predetermined character string types to store the classified character string data in a storage area of a storage portion (14). When the user inputs an instruction to paste the character string data to an input column existing in a desired page by operating the operation portion (12), the copy control portion (22) checks the character string type corresponding to the input column of the designated page, and acquires the character string data of the character string type corresponding to the input column from the storage area of the storage portion (14) to paste the acquired character string data.

Claims

1. A mobile terminal having a function of copying character data, comprising:

a copy device which copies and fetches therein arbitrary character string data;

a discrimination device which classifies the fetched character string data into the character data of predetermined character string types to punctuate the character string data; and

a character string data storage device which stores therein the classified character string data together with classification item names thereof.

2. A mobile terminal according to claim 1, further comprising first paste device which selects the character string data of the character string type corresponding to a paste destination from among the character string data stored in said character string data storage device to paste the selected character string data.

3. A mobile terminal according to claim 2, wherein said first paste device selects the character string data of the character string type corresponding to a plurality of paste destinations to paste the selected character string data.

4. A mobile terminal according to claim 1, further comprising second paste device which selects the character string data from among the character string data stored in said character string data storage device in accordance with an instruction from a user to paste the selected character string data.

5. A mobile terminal according to claim 2, wherein said second paste device receives an instruction to select a plurality of character string data.

6. A method of controlling a computer, comprising the steps of:

copying and fetching in arbitrary character string data;

classifying the fetched character string data into the character data of predetermined character string types to punctuate the character string data; and

storing the classified character string data together with classification item names thereof.

7. A method of controlling a computer according to claim 6, further comprising the step of selecting the character string data of the character string type corresponding to a paste destination from among the stored character string data to paste the selected character string data.

8. A method of controlling a computer according to claim 6, further comprising the step of selecting the character string data from among the stored character string data in accordance with an instruction from a user to paste the selected character string data.

9. A mobile terminal having a function of copying character data, comprising:

means for copying and fetching in arbitrary character string data;

means for classifying the fetched character string data into the character data of predetermined character string types to punctuate the character string data; and

means for storing the classified character string data together with classification item names thereof.

10. A mobile terminal according to claim 9, further comprising means for selecting the character string data of the character string type corresponding to a paste destination from among the stored character string data.

11. A mobile terminal according to claim 9, further comprising means for selecting the character string data from among the stored character string data in accordance with an instruction from a user to paste the selected character string data.
