INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE AND SCREEN DISPLAY METHOD
First Claim
1. An information processing device, comprising:
- a touch-operable display portion;
a display control portion that displays, on the display portion, an operation screen in which a plurality of soft keys for inputting characters are arranged;
a storage portion that pre-stores data indicating a particular character string highly likely to be inputted by a user;
an interruption detection portion that detects occurrence of an interruption;
an interruption notification portion that, when the occurrence of the interruption has been detected by the interruption detection portion, displays in an overlaid manner on the operation screen, an interruption notification screen for providing a notification of the occurrence of the interruption; and
a prediction portion that predicts, by using the data indicating the particular character string, a first soft key corresponding to a character highly likely to be inputted next by the user among the plurality of soft keys,whereinthe interruption notification portion displays the interruption notification screen so that the first soft key predicted by the prediction portion is exposed.

Abstract
The present invention prevents erroneous operation of an operation screen by a user when an interruption notification screen is displayed on the operation screen. An information processing device is provided with: a display portion that can be operated by touch; a display control portion that displays, on the display portion, an operation screen in which a plurality of soft keys are arranged for inputting characters; a storage portion in which data indicating specific character strings likely to be input by a user is stored in advance; an interruption detection portion that detects the occurrence of an interruption; an interruption notification portion that displays an interruption notification screen for reporting the occurrence of an interruption on the operation screen in an overlaid manner when the occurrence of an interruption is detected by the interruption detection portion; and a prediction portion that uses the data indicating specific character strings to predict a first soft key corresponding to a character likely to be input next by the user among the plurality of soft keys. The interruption notification portion displays the interruption notification screen so that the first soft key predicted by the prediction portion is exposed.

9. A screen display method performed in an information processing device comprising a touch-operable display portion, the information processing device further comprising a storage portion that pre-stores data indicating a particular character string highly likely to be inputted by a user, the method comprising steps of:
-
through operating a computer of the information processing device, displaying, on the display portion, an operation screen in which a plurality of soft keys for inputting characters are arranged; detecting occurrence of an interruption; predicting, upon detection of the occurrence of the interruption, by using the data indicating the particular character string, a first soft key corresponding to a character highly likely to be inputted next by the user among the plurality of soft keys; and displaying in an overlaid manner on the operation screen, an interruption notification screen for providing a notification of the occurrence of the interruption so that said first soft key thus predicted is exposed.
