Input apparatus, input method, program, and input system

An input method comprising:

• receiving by a handwritten inputter a handwritten input using a position of a pen or a user's finger in contact with a display;
• displaying by the display the handwritten input received by the handwriting inputter on the display as a handwritten object;
• and
• in response to the handwritten object, displaying selectable candidates including both of one or more operation commands candidates and one or more character string candidates on the basis of the handwritten object on an area of the display that is in contact with the pen or the user's finger, the one or more operation commands candidates including a specific process implementation corresponding to a command, and the one or more character string candidates identified from the handwritten object which is displayed on the display, the handwritten object, the one or more operation commands candidates, and the one or more character string candidates being displayed on the display at a same time,
• wherein the operation commands candidates include at least an editing command or a modifying command to change characteristic of the handwritten object,
• wherein the input method further comprises, in response to that none of a user adding, deleting, moving, changing in shape, or dividing a stroke of the handwritten object occurs during a first period, displaying the selectable candidates including both of the one or more operation commands candidates and the one or more character string candidates on the basis of the handwritten object,
• wherein the one or more character string candidates comprise a handwriting recognized character string candidate recognized from the handwritten object, and a name of the command includes a character string that is the same as the handwriting recognized character string candidate,
• wherein the one or more operation commands candidates start to be displayed at the same time as the one or more character string candidates on the same area of the display, and
• wherein in a case a first handwritten input is received, a corresponding first operation command candidate is displayed, and in a case of a second handwritten input, different from the first handwritten input, is received, a corresponding second operation command candidate, different from the corresponding first operation command candidate, replaces the corresponding first operation command candidate.

A non-transitory recording medium storing a program causing an information processing apparatus to function as

• a handwriting inputter configured to receive a handwritten input using a position of a pen or a user's finger in contact with a display;
• and
• the display configured to display the handwritten input received by the handwriting inputter on the display as a handwritten object,
• wherein the program further causes the information processing apparatus to, in response to the handwritten object, display selectable candidates including both of one or more operation commands candidates and one or more character string candidates on the basis of the handwritten object on an area of the display that is in contact with the pen or the user's finger, the one or more operation commands candidates including a specific process implementation corresponding to a command, and the one or more character string candidates identified from the handwritten object which is displayed on the display, the handwritten object, the one or more operation commands candidates, and the one or more character string candidates being displayed on the display at a same time,
• wherein the operation commands candidates include at least an editing command or a modifying command to change characteristic of the handwritten object,
• wherein the program further causes the information processing apparatus to, in response to that none of a user adding, deleting, moving, changing in shape, or dividing a stroke of the handwritten object occurs during a first period, display the selectable candidates including both of the one or more operation commands candidates and the one or more character string candidates on the basis of the handwritten object,
• wherein the one or more character string candidates comprise a handwriting recognized character string candidate recognized from the handwritten object, and a name of the command includes a character string that is the same as the handwriting recognized character string candidate,
• wherein the one or more operation commands candidates start to be displayed at the same time as the one or more character string candidates on the same area of the display, and
• wherein in a case a first handwritten input is received, a corresponding first operation command candidate is displayed, and in a case of a second handwritten input, different from the first handwritten input, is received, a corresponding second operation command candidate, different from the corresponding first operation command candidate, replaces the corresponding first operation command candidate.
