Character string input system

A method for a computer for performing character string input comprising:

• by an operation acquisition block, acquiring an operation done on an input device coupled to the computer;
• by a character string acquisition block, acquiring an additional character string from the input device on a basis of the acquired operation,
• wherein the additional character string is automatically retrieved and displayed by the computer and on a display of the input device;
• and
• by a transmission block, transmitting a signal indicative automatically when input of a character string is started by use of the input device,
• wherein the signal is transmitted from the input device to the computer for disabling entry of character strings from any other devices coupled to the computer until a specific input is provided by a user on the input device to indicate that entry of character strings is terminated on the input device,
• wherein the specific input allows for entry of character strings on another device coupled to the computer,
• wherein the additional character string is entered using a virtual keyboard on the mobile device, and
• wherein the specific input is closure of the virtual keyboard on the mobile device by the user.

A non-transitory computer-readable information storage medium configured to store a program for a computer, the program comprising:

• by an operation acquisition block, acquiring an operation done on an input device coupled to the computer;
• by a character string acquisition block, acquiring an additional character string from the input device on a basis of the acquired operation,
• wherein the additional character string is automatically retrieved and displayed by the computer and on a display of the input device;
• and
• by a transmission block, transmitting a signal indicative automatically when input of a character string is started by use of the input device,
• wherein the signal is transmitted from the input device to the computer for disabling entry of character strings from any other devices coupled to the computer until a specific input is provided by a user on the input device to indicate that entry of character strings is terminated on the input device,
• wherein the specific input allows for entry of character strings on another device coupled to the computer,
• wherein the additional character string is entered using a virtual keyboard on the mobile device, and
• wherein the specific input is closure of the virtual keyboard on the mobile device by the user.
