Abstract
An electronic apparatus according to an embodiment of the disclosure includes: an input device; a storage; and at least one processor, wherein the processor identifies identification information on a key subjected to a key operation with the input device, determines, when the identification information is identified, whether the key operation satisfies a predetermined condition, and performs control in such a manner that, when the key operation is determined to satisfy the predetermined condition, virtual key information indicating a function that is designated by the key operation is stored in the storage rather than storing the identified identification information in the storage.
Claims8
An electronic apparatus comprises:
- at least one processor configured to:
- identify identification information of a key subjected to a key operation with an input device;
- determine whether the identification information of the key subjected to the key operation indicates a key operation for designating a function set in a menu displayed on a screen;
- in response to determining that the identification information of the key subjected to the key operation does not indicate the key operation for designating the function set in the menu displayed on the screen:
- control a storage to store the identification information;
- and
- in response to determining that the identification information of the key subjected to the key operation indicates the key operation for designating the function set in the menu displayed on the screen:
- look up a data table stored in the storage for virtual key information indicating the function set in the menu displayed on the screen, the virtual key information corresponding to the identification information;
- and
- control the storage to store the virtual key information indicating the function set in the menu displayed on the screen rather than storing the identification information.
A control method for an electronic apparatus, the control method comprising:
- identifying identification information of a key subjected to a key operation with an input device;
- determining whether the identification information of the key subjected to the key operation indicates a key operation for designating a function set in a menu displayed on a screen;
- in response to determining that the identification information of the key subjected to the key operation does not indicate the key operation for designating the function set in the menu displayed on the screen:
- control a storage to store the identification information;
- and
- in response to determining that the identification information of the key subjected to the key operation indicates the key operation for designating the function set in the menu displayed on the screen:
- looking up a data table stored in the storage for virtual key information indicating the function set in the menu displayed on the screen, the virtual key information corresponding to the identification information;
- and
- controlling the storage to store the virtual key information indicating the function set in the menu displayed on the screen rather than storing the identification information.
A non-transitory recording medium having a program recorded thereon that is executable to control a computer of an electronic apparatus to at least perform:
- identifying identification information of a key subjected to a key operation with an input device;
- determining whether the identification information of the key subjected to the key operation indicates a key operation for designating a function set in a menu displayed on a screen;
- in response to determining that the identification information of the key subjected to the key operation does not indicate the key operation for designating the function set in the menu displayed on the screen:
- control a storage to store the identification information;
- and
- in response to determining that the identification information of the key subjected to the key operation indicates the key operation for designating the function set in the menu displayed on the screen:
- looking up a data table stored in the storage for virtual key information indicating the function set in the menu displayed on the screen, the virtual key information corresponding to the identification information;
- and
- controlling the storage to store the virtual key information indicating the function set in the menu displayed on the screen rather than storing the identification information.
