JP6051175B2 - Portable terminal, portable terminal program, and keyword input method - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a mobile terminal, a mobile terminal program, and a keyword input method.

  In recent years, message exchange with users of other terminals has been actively performed in portable terminals such as smartphones. In such message exchange, a user of a mobile terminal may search for the keyword when an unknown keyword is included in a message input by another user.

  However, in a portable terminal, only numeric keys and software keyboards are provided as character input means. When inputting a keyword using such an input means, a keyword input field is selected once, and then the input is performed. It is necessary to input a keyword using a means. For this reason, there are many operations until the keyword input is completed, and the input operation is complicated.

  In response to such a problem, when exchanging messages between users, a search module (for example, a search area) is displayed, and the keyword included in the message is dragged to the search module. Has been proposed as a keyword to be used for searching and searching (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  By the way, when operating a portable terminal, it is often operated with one hand. When the keyword is dragged from the displayed sentence to the search area as in the method described in Patent Document 1, the operation is difficult due to the relationship between the position of the keyword and the position of the search area. There's a problem. For example, when the display position of the keyword used for the search and the display position of the search area are separated from each other, the distance for the drag operation becomes long, and it becomes difficult to input the keyword.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a mobile terminal, a program for a mobile terminal, and a keyword input method capable of easily inputting a search keyword.

  The portable terminal which concerns on the 1st aspect of this invention is a display part which displays text information and the search window which receives the input of the keyword used for the search via a network, and the display screen currently displayed on the said display part. An operation unit that accepts a flick operation, a keyword extraction unit that extracts a keyword that constitutes the text information displayed at the start position of the flick operation when the operation unit accepts a flick operation, and the extracted keyword An input control unit for inputting to the search window.

  The portable terminal further includes a message transmission / reception unit that receives an input of a message to be transmitted to another terminal, transmits the input message to the other terminal, and receives a message from the other terminal; When the operation unit receives a flick operation, the extraction unit may extract a keyword constituting the message displayed at a start position of the flick operation.

When a keyword different from the extracted keyword is input to the search window, the input control unit inputs a space after the keyword input to the search window, and extracts after the space. The keyword may be input.
When the extracted keyword is input to the search window, the input control unit may delete the keyword from the search window.

  The operation unit accepts a touch operation on the display screen, and the keyword extraction unit selects the keyword displayed at the operation position of the touch operation when the operation unit accepts the touch operation, and then When the operation unit receives a flick operation at the operation position, the selected keyword may be extracted.

The keyword extraction unit may change the selected range when the operation unit further receives a touch operation of the keyword in a state where the keyword is selected. The keyword extracting unit may highlight the keyword when the keyword is selected.
The input control unit may display a locus of the keyword moving toward the search window when the extracted keyword is input to the search window.

  The portable terminal program according to the second aspect of the present invention is a display screen for displaying text information displayed on a display unit and a search window for receiving an input of a keyword used for searching via a network. When the operation unit accepts a flick operation, a keyword extraction unit that extracts a keyword constituting the text information displayed at the start position of the flick operation and the extracted keyword are input to the search window. It functions as an input control unit.

  The keyword input method according to the third aspect of the present invention operates on a display screen that displays text information displayed on a display unit and a search window that accepts input of a keyword used for a search via a network. When the unit accepts a flick operation, the method includes a step of extracting a keyword constituting the text information displayed at a start position of the flick operation, and a step of inputting the extracted keyword into the search window.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.
[Summary of Invention]
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a search keyword input method in the mobile terminal 1 according to the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, the mobile terminal 1 displays a message input by each user in the exchange of messages with users of other terminals as text information, and a search window that accepts an input of a keyword used for a search via a network And an input window for receiving an input of a message to be transmitted.

  When the mobile terminal 1 receives a flick operation on the display screen, the mobile terminal 1 extracts a keyword constituting the message displayed at the start position of the flick operation, and inputs the extracted keyword into the search window. For example, when the mobile terminal 1 receives a flick operation at a position where the keyword “Yuzawa” constituting the message is displayed on the display screen shown in FIG. 1, the portable terminal 1 inputs the keyword “Yuzawa” into the search window.

[Configuration example of mobile terminal 1]
FIG. 2 is a functional configuration diagram of the mobile terminal 1 according to the present embodiment.
The mobile terminal 1 includes an operation unit 11, a display unit 12, a wireless unit 13, a storage unit 14, and a control unit 15.

  The operation unit 11 includes, for example, a button, a contact sensor disposed so as to be superimposed on the display unit 12, and the like. The operation unit 11 accepts various contact operations such as a touch operation and a flick operation as operations on the display screen displayed on the display unit 12.

  The display unit 12 includes, for example, a liquid crystal display or an organic EL (Electro-Luminescence) display. The display unit 12 displays text information such as a message exchanged with a user of another terminal or a message such as an e-mail, a search window, and an input window under the control of the control unit 15. Further, the display unit 12 displays the search result corresponding to the keyword input to the search window under the control of the control unit 15.

  The wireless unit 13 modulates the signal output from the control unit 15 to generate an RF (Radio Frequency) signal, and transmits the RF signal via an antenna (not shown) to a base station or a wireless LAN access point (not shown). ) Wirelessly. The radio unit 13 demodulates an RF signal received from a base station or an access point via an antenna, and outputs a signal obtained by the demodulation to the control unit 15. As a result, the wireless unit 13 transmits to the message server 2 that manages the exchange of messages with other terminals via the network N such as the Internet or a telephone line, or the search server 3 that outputs a search result based on the search keyword. Wireless communication is performed.

  The storage unit 14 is configured by, for example, a ROM and a RAM. The storage unit 14 stores various programs for causing the mobile terminal 1 to function. For example, the storage unit 14 stores a mobile terminal program for causing the control unit 15 of the mobile terminal 1 to function as a message transmission / reception unit 151, a keyword extraction unit 152, an input control unit 153, and a search unit 154 described later. The storage unit 14 may read and store a program stored in a storage medium such as an external memory, or may store a program downloaded from an external device via the network N.

  The control part 15 is comprised by CPU, for example. The control unit 15 comprehensively controls functions related to the mobile terminal 1 by executing various programs stored in the storage unit 14. The control unit 15 includes a message transmission / reception unit 151, a keyword extraction unit 152, an input control unit 153, and a search unit 154.

  The message transmission / reception unit 151 transmits / receives a message via the wireless unit 13. Specifically, the message transmission / reception unit 151 receives an input of a message to be transmitted to another terminal via the operation unit 11, transmits the input message to the other terminal, and receives a message from the other terminal. . The message transmission / reception unit 151 displays the transmitted / received message on the display unit 12. For example, the message transmission / reception unit 151 displays the transmitted / received messages in time series for each user as shown in FIG. Here, transmission / reception of messages with other terminals is performed via the message server 2.

  When the operation unit 11 receives a touch operation, the keyword extraction unit 152 selects a keyword displayed at the operation position of the touch operation. Specifically, when receiving the touch operation, the keyword extraction unit 152 performs a morphological analysis of the message displayed at the operation position of the touch operation, and identifies a plurality of keywords from the message. Then, the keyword extraction unit 152 selects a keyword displayed at the operation position of the touch operation among the plurality of keywords. Here, the morpheme analysis is a process of analyzing a message using dictionary information or the like and dividing the message into character strings (morphemes) having a grammatically meaningful minimum unit.

  In the present embodiment, the keyword extraction unit 152 performs the morphological analysis of the message at the timing when the operation unit 11 accepts the touch operation. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, morphological analysis may be performed when the message transmission / reception unit 151 displays a message. Further, the keyword specified from the message is, for example, a noun, but all parts of speech separated by morphological analysis may be used as keywords.

  The keyword extraction unit 152 highlights the selected keyword. FIG. 3A is a diagram illustrating a state in which a keyword is selected by touching a message. As shown in FIG. 3A, when the user touches the keyword “Yuzawa” in the message with a finger, the keyword extraction unit 152 selects and highlights the keyword “Yuzawa”. In FIG. 3A, it can be confirmed that “Yuzawa” is highlighted by being surrounded by a frame.

  Note that the keyword extraction unit 152 may highlight the selected keyword by another method. For example, the keyword extraction unit 152 may highlight the selected keyword and background color by inverting or displaying the background color in a color different from the background color of other portions. By doing in this way, the user of the portable terminal 1 can confirm easily the keyword which can be input into a search window.

  The keyword extraction unit 152 changes the selected range when the operation unit 11 further receives a touch operation of the keyword in a state where the keyword is selected. Specifically, in a state where a keyword is selected, the keyword extraction unit 152, when the operation unit 11 further receives a touch operation on the keyword, already selects a plurality of keywords specified from the message by morphological analysis. The selected keyword and any one of the keywords adjacent to the front or rear of the keyword are selected. By doing in this way, the user of the portable terminal 1 can easily switch the keyword range that can be input to the search window and select the keyword to be input.

  3B and 3C are diagrams illustrating a state in which the selected range is changed by touching the same position in the message a plurality of times. For example, in the state where “Yuzawa” is selected as shown in FIG. 3A, when the user further touches “Yuzawa”, the keyword extraction unit 152 selects the keyword “Yuzawa” and the keyword Select the keyword “Kogen” adjacent to the back. In FIG. 3B, it can be confirmed that “Yuzawa Kogen” is selected and highlighted.

  3B, when the user further touches “Yuzawa” in a state where “Yuzawa Kogen” is selected, the keyword extraction unit 152 selects the keyword “Yuzawa Kogen” Select the keyword "ski" adjacent to the back of the keyword. In FIG. 3C, it can be confirmed that “Yuzawa Kogen Ski” is selected and highlighted.

  The keyword extraction unit 152 is selected when the keywords are not adjacent to each other because the character string adjacent to the selected keyword is a particle as a result of repeatedly touching the keyword at the same position. The range may be narrowed. For example, in a state where “Yuzawa Kogen Ski Area” is selected, when the user further touches “Yuzawa”, the keyword extraction unit 152 may narrow the selection range to “Yuzawa”.

  Thereafter, when the operation unit 11 receives a flick operation in a state where the keyword is selected, the keyword extraction unit 152 extracts the keyword constituting the message displayed at the start position of the flick operation. The keyword extraction unit 152 may extract the selected keyword when the moving direction of the contact position by the flick operation indicates a search window.

  The input control unit 153 inputs the extracted keyword into the search window. Specifically, when the keyword extraction unit 152 extracts a keyword, the input control unit 153 determines whether or not a keyword has already been input to the search window. When the input control unit 153 determines that no keyword has been input, the input control unit 153 inputs the extracted keyword into the search window. Here, when the input control unit 153 inputs the extracted keyword into the search window, the keyword moves toward the search window. When the keyword moves toward the search window, a state of moving toward the search window may be displayed. Specifically, the trajectory is displayed using an effect display such as a keyword image and a shadow or line.

  FIG. 3D is a diagram illustrating a state in which the extracted keyword is input to the input window. In the state where “Yuzawa” is selected as shown in FIG. 3D, when the user performs a flick operation toward the search window, the input control unit 153 displays a trajectory of “Yuzawa” moving toward the search window. After that, enter “Yuzawa” in the search window. In this way, the user can confirm how the selected keyword moves to the search window by a flick operation, which makes the operation intuitively easy for the user.

  Here, if the moving direction of the contact position in the flick operation indicates a search window, the input control unit 153 performs display control for moving the keyword with respect to the search window, and inputs the keyword in the search window. When the movement direction indicates the input window, display control for moving the keyword with respect to the input window may be performed, and the keyword may be input to the input window.

  If the input control unit 153 determines that a keyword has already been input to the search window, the input control unit 153 determines whether the extracted keyword has been input to the search window. When the input control unit 153 determines that the extracted keyword is input to the search window, the input control unit 153 deletes the keyword from the search window. For example, in a state where “Yuzawa” is input in the search window, when the user touches “Yuzawa” again to select “Yuzawa” and performs a flick operation toward the search window, the input control unit 153 Delete "Yuzawa" from the search window. In this way, the user can easily delete the keyword without changing the operation between inputting and deleting the keyword.

  Further, when the input control unit 153 determines that a keyword different from the extracted keyword is input in the search window, the input control unit 153 inputs a space after the keyword input in the search window, and after the space, Enter the extracted keyword.

  FIG. 3E is a diagram illustrating a state in which a keyword different from the keyword extracted in the search window is displayed. In the state shown in FIG. 3E, when the user performs an operation of flicking “Yuzawa” toward the search window, the input control unit 153 displays “accommodation” already displayed in the search window as shown in FIG. 3F. Enter a space immediately after that and enter "Yuzawa". Here, “□” shown in FIG. 3F represents a space. In this way, even when a user inputs a plurality of keywords, the user need only repeat the operation of inputting one keyword, and can easily add a keyword.

  Note that when the keyword input to the search window and the extracted keyword partially match, the input control unit 153 deletes the matched part, deletes the mismatched part, and deletes the keyword input to the search window. The keyword input to the search window may be changed by such processing.

  First, assuming that the extracted keywords form part of the keywords entered in the search window, the extracted keywords are “Yuzawa” and the keywords entered in the search window are “Yuzawa Kogen”. A case will be described as an example. In this case, the input control unit 153 may delete the mismatched portion “Kogen” and set the keyword input in the search window as “Yuzawa”. Further, the input control unit 153 may delete the matching part “Yuzawa” and set the keyword input in the search window as “Kogen”. Further, the input control unit 153 may delete the keyword “Yuzawa Kogen” input in the search window. The input control unit 153 may determine that the extracted keyword “Yuzawa” has already been input in the search window, and maintain the keyword “Yuzawa Kogen” input in the search window.

  In addition, when the keyword input to the search window and the extracted keyword partially match, the input control unit 153 deletes the matched part, deletes the mismatched part, or is input to the search window. A screen for accepting selection regarding whether to delete a keyword may be displayed, and input control may be performed based on a selection result on the screen.

  In addition, as an example where the extracted keyword includes the keyword input in the search window, the extracted keyword is “Yuzawa Kogen” and the keyword input in the search window is “Yuzawa”. Will be described. In this case, the input control unit 153 may delete the matching part “Yuzawa” and replace the keyword input in the search window with “Kogen”. The input control unit 153 may replace the keyword input in the search window with “Yuzawa Kogen”. Further, the input control unit 153 may delete the keyword “Yuzawa” that is input in the search window. Note that the input control unit 153 may maintain the keyword “Yuzawa” input in the search window.

  Hereinafter, an example in which the keyword input to the search window is replaced with the extracted keyword will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 3G is a diagram illustrating a state in which the keyword input in the search window partially matches the extracted keyword. As shown in FIG. 3G, it is assumed that “Yuzawa” is input in the search window, and the user touches “Yuzawa” a plurality of times and selects “Yuzawa Kogen”. In this case, the selected keyword “Yuzawa Kogen” and the keyword “Yuzawa” entered in the search window partially match. In this case, when the user performs an operation of flicking “Yuzawa Kogen” toward the search window, the input control unit 153 deletes “Yuzawa” input in the search window, and as shown in FIG. Enter "Yuzawa Kogen".

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3H, the input control unit 153 assumes that the user selects “Yuzawa” from the message while “Yuzawa Kogen” is input in the search window. In this case, when the user performs an operation of flicking “Yuzawa” toward the search window, the input control unit 153 partially matches the two keywords “Yuzawa” and “Yuzawa Kogen”. “Yuzawa Kogen” input in the window is deleted, and “Yuzawa” is input as shown in FIG. 3G.

  The search unit 154 transmits the keyword to the search server 3 via the wireless unit 13 when the operation unit 11 receives an operation for executing a search in a state where the keyword is input in the search window. Then, the search unit 154 receives the search result from the search server 3 via the wireless unit 13 and causes the display unit 12 to display the search result. Here, the operation for executing the search is, for example, an operation of touching a magnifying glass icon displayed in the search window.

[Flow chart for entering keywords]
Next, the flow of processing until a keyword is input to the search window will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing until a keyword is input to the search window according to the present embodiment.

First, in a state where a message and a search window are displayed on the display unit 12, the operation unit 11 receives a touch operation (S1).
Subsequently, when the operation unit 11 receives a touch operation, the keyword extraction unit 152 selects a keyword displayed at the operation position of the touch operation (S2).

Subsequently, in a state where a keyword is selected, the operation unit 11 receives a flick operation (S3).
Subsequently, when the operation unit 11 accepts a flick operation, the keyword extraction unit 152 extracts the keyword constituting the message displayed at the start position of the flick operation (S4).

Subsequently, the input control unit 153 determines whether or not a keyword has already been input to the search window (S5). If the input control unit 153 determines that the keyword has already been input (when the determination is YES), the process proceeds to S7. If the input control unit 153 determines that the keyword has not already been input (when the determination is NO), the process proceeds to S6. Move processing.
In S6, since the keyword has not been input, the input control unit 153 inputs the extracted keyword into the search window (S6).

  In S7, the input control unit 153 determines whether or not the keyword extracted in S4 is input to the search window. If the input control unit 153 determines that the extracted keyword is input (if the determination is YES), the process proceeds to S8, and if it is determined that the extracted keyword is not input (if the determination is NO), The processing is moved to S9.

In S8, the input control unit 153 deletes the extracted keyword from the search window because the extracted keyword is input to the search window.
When the input control unit 153 determines that the extracted keyword is not input to the search window, the input control unit 153 inputs a space after the keyword input to the search window, and inputs the extracted keyword after the space. (S9, S10).

[Effect in this embodiment]
As described above, when the mobile terminal 1 according to the present embodiment accepts a flick operation, the mobile terminal 1 extracts a keyword constituting the message displayed at the start position of the flick operation and inputs the extracted keyword into the search window. Therefore, a search keyword can be easily input without using a software keyboard or numeric keys. Moreover, since the mobile terminal 1 inputs a keyword into the search window by a flick operation, the user can easily operate the mobile terminal 1 with one hand. Furthermore, as in the case of dragging the keyword to the search window, the user can input the keyword without causing the input operation to fail due to the finger moving away from the display screen while dragging the search window. it can.

  As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated using embodiment, the technical scope of this invention is not limited to the range as described in the said embodiment. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications or improvements can be added to the above embodiment.
