Remote operation apparatus, remote operation system, and non-transitory computer readable medium storing program with text input assistance

A remote operation system comprising:

• a remote terminal;
• and
• a host computer which is able to be connected to the remote terminal,
• wherein the remote terminal includes
• a memory that stores a conversion database,
• a display that displays a desktop screen of the host computer in a case in which the remote terminal is connected to the host computer, and
• a first processor that remotely operates the host computer and configured to:
• receive a key event and determine whether the key event is a desktop event;
• in response to the key event being the desktop event, determine whether a key code of the key event corresponds to an activation instruction to activate a text input assistance program of the remote terminal;
• in response to the key code corresponding to the activation instruction, display an input field and the desktop screen of the host computer on a desktop screen of the remote terminal, activate the text input assistance program of the remote terminal, and enable the text input assistance program of the remote terminal to input text to the input field;
• in response to the key code not corresponding to the activation instruction, convert the key code into a key symbol according to the conversion database and transmit the key symbol to the host computer, wherein the key symbol corresponds to an input method of the host computer;
• and
• in response to the key event not being the desktop event and being an event of the input field, transmit the text inputted to the input field to the host computer, and
• wherein the host computer includes a second processor that stops a text input assistance program of the host computer in a case in which the host computer is connected to the remote terminal.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to perform:

• receiving a key event and determine whether the key event is a desktop event;
• in response to the key event being the desktop event, determining whether a key code of the key event corresponds to an activation instruction to activate a text input assistance program of a remote operation apparatus;
• in response to the key code corresponding to the activation instruction, displaying an input field and the desktop screen of the apparatus to be remotely operated on a desktop screen of the remote operation apparatus, activating the text input assistance program of the remote operation apparatus, and enabling the text input assistance program of the remote operation apparatus to input text to the input field;
• in response to the key code not corresponding to the activation instruction, converting the key code into a key symbol according to a conversion database stored in the remote operation apparatus and transmitting the key symbol to the apparatus to be remotely operated, wherein the key symbol corresponds to an input method of the apparatus to be remotely operated;
• and
• in response to the key event not being the desktop event and being an event of the input field, transmitting the text inputted to the input field to the apparatus to be remotely operated.
