Problems solved by technology

[0006] According to the technology disclosed in Document 1, the type of input characters is switched by a flick action that has nothing to do with the screen display, and there is a problem that it is difficult to understand the result of the switching operation.
According to the technology disclosed in Document 2, the operation method when selecting a single character may be improved, but there is a problem that it cannot be applied to the continuous operation of switching character types.
According to the technology disclosed in Document 3, although an uppercase letter or a lowercase letter is distinguished by an input pattern, there is a problem that it cannot be applied to characters that do not follow the input pattern.

Embodiment Construction

[0031] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same symbols are attached to the same components. Their names and functions are also the same. Therefore, detailed descriptions about them are not repeated.

[0032] [Technical Thought]

[0033] refer to figure 1 as well as figure 2 , the input device 100 before applying the technical idea of ​​this embodiment will be described. figure 1 It is a diagram showing the transition of the keyboard displayed on the input device 100 . In addition, in this embodiment, the case where the input device 100 is included in an MFP (Multi-functional Peripheral: multi-functional peripheral) was exemplified, but the application target of the input device 100 is not limited to the MFP. For example, the input device can be applied to a tablet terminal equipped with a touch panel, a notebook computer, a smartphone, and other information processing devi...

Abstract

An input device with improved operability in switching character types is provided. The input device includes a display unit configured to display an image of each key that constitutes a keyboard and is labeled with information for identifying the operation modes, and a touch panel configured to accept an input operation on an image of the keyboard. Each key is set so as to accept an input in accordance with an operation mode of the input device. The input device further includes a controller configured to, if an operation on the touch panel to indicate a predetermined direction is accepted, select an operation mode in accordance with the predetermined direction from the operation modes identified by the information labeled on the each key and allow the display unit to display the keyboard corresponding to the selected operation mode.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to an input interface of a device, and more particularly relates to control of an input interface that accepts a touch operation. Background technique [0002] Multifunctionalization of MFPs (Multi-functional Peripherals), copiers, printers, and other devices has been developed. In addition, in the case of an MFP, for example, the selection of the operation mode is not limited, and the e-mail address, the FTP (File Transfer Protocol: File Transfer Protocol) address, and the URL (Uniform Resource Locator: Uniform Resource Locator) using the WEB browser function when scanning and sending Resource Locator) input and other types of text input opportunities continue to increase. [0003] Regarding character input, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-181879 (Document 1) discloses "Soft key input method with excellent operability while suppressing screen occupancy" (see [Abstract]). [0004] Japanese Pa...
