Text input is corrected on a touch-sensitive display by presenting a list of candidate words in the interface which can be selected by touch input. The candidate list can include candidate words having two or more character types (e.g., Roman, kana, kanji). In one aspect, the candidate list can be scrolled using a finger gesture. When a user's finger traverses a candidate word and the touch is released, the candidate word is inserted into a document being edited. In another aspect, characters can be erased by touching a key (e.g., a backspace or delete key) and making a sliding, swiping, or other finger gesture. A number of characters proportional to a distance (e.g., a linear distance) of the finger gesture across the display are erased. If there are characters in a text input area, those characters are erased first, followed by characters in the document being edited.

A plural number of letters or characters, inferred from the results of letter/character recognition of an image photographed by a CCD camera (20), a plural number of kana readings inferred from the letters or characters and the way of pronunciation corresponding to the kana readings are generated in an pronunciation information generating unit (150) and the plural readings obtained are matched to the pronunciation from the user acquired by a microphone (23) to specify one kana reading and the way of pronunciation (reading) from among the plural generated candidates.

Method for creating a language model capable of preventing deterioration of quality caused by the conventional back-off to unigram. Parts-of-speech with the same display and reading are obtained from a storage device (206). A cluster (204) is created by combining the obtained parts-of-speech. The created cluster (204) is stored in the storage device (206). In addition, when an instruction (214) for dividing the cluster is inputted, the cluster stored in the storage device (206) is divided (210) in accordance with to the inputted instruction (212). Two of the clusters stored in the storage device are combined (218), and a probability of occurrence of the combined clusters in the text corpus is calculated (222). The combined cluster is associated with the bigram indicating the calculated probability and stored into the storage device.

Upon receiving, for example, document data including a character string from outside, a character recognition device detects a line from a line-touching character-string image in which at least one character (such as number, alphabet letter, kana character, and Chinese character) touches (or overlaps) a line in the document data, tentatively removes the line, and estimates a character region. The character recognition device extracts a line-touching character image from the line-touching character-string image (original image) based on the estimated character region. The character recognition device creates a line-added reference character image by adding a quasi-line to a reference character image stored in advance.

An apparatus and a method for information processing that enable effective content management and retrieval are provided. Content attribute information is obtained via a recording medium such as a CD or the like, a network, or as user input data, an artist name is extracted from the obtained content attribute information, initial letter information is determined on a basis of the artist name, and the initial letter information is stored and registered as content management information in a data storage unit. Also, editing of the registered information is made possible. This constitution enables a data search process using the initial letter information as a search key and a sort process. Further, the artist name is automatically determined and registered regardless of a kind of the artist name such as the alphabet, kana, or katakana. Therefore a process is made possible which generates and registers the management data efficiently and quickly and hence reduces a burden on the user.

The invention provides a program and character inputting and editing method and a device. A server generates the candidate list of an Unicode Kana/Chinese word conversion candidate object through a Kana/Chinese word conversion engine when the client terminal receives the Kana information about the inputted character sequence and then transfers the candidate object list and the program for achieving the processing functions in the web page application to the browser of the client terminal, thereby obtaining an operational state. The client terminal executes the function programs downloaded from the server and defines the files based on the graphemic display method of each character code of the candidate object; if the graphemic display is the server image display, the client terminal sends an URL claim so as to acquire the character image from the letterform image generating engine of the server and then to generate image elements having the character code properties, displays the candidate object on the list window according to the display data mixed with text elements of text format, and then carries out the selection and definition, wherein, the text format is displayed through the letterform file of the client terminal.

The invention provides a Japanese input method and a Japanese input device of a touch screen terminal, and relates to the field of input methods. In order to improve convenience of using for a user, the technical scheme includes that the method comprises the following steps: receiving Roman letters inputted by a user, and outputting kana strings corresponding to the Roman letters; receiving a conversion operation instruction, and converting the kana strings into at least one language block candidate and outputting the language block candidate; when the fact that the user conducts a gesture operation on the outputted language block candidate is detected, conducting language block partition on the language block candidate again according to the gesture operation; and outputting Japanese sentences composed by the confirmed candidates corresponding to all the language blocks to be final output results. The Japanese input method and the Japanese input device of the touch screen terminal are suitable for Japanese touch input.

Systems, methods, and computer media for selecting characters through touchscreen input are provided. A user selection of a first character, such as a Japanese kana character, displayed on a touchscreen is received. A plurality of additional characters syllabically related to the first character are identified. A presentation order of the plurality of additional characters is identified. In response to receiving the user selection of the first character, at least a first and a second additional character from the plurality of syllabically related additional characters are displayed. The first additional character is displayed adjacent to the first character, and the second additional character is displayed adjacent to the first additional character. The displayed first and second additional characters are selectable by a user touch input.
