Abstract
According to an embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes an image interface, an input interface, a display interface, a manipulation interface, a storage unit, and a processor. The processor is configured to cause a display terminal through a display interface to display a screen so as to receive an input of a key through the manipulation interface; transmit an operation signal indicating the key to the one of external devices through the input interface; and when the key is a repeat key, transmit an operation signal for inputting a character string indicated by repeat information to the one of the external devices through the input interface.
Claims12
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- an image interface configured to acquire a screen for inputting a character string from one of a plurality of external devices;
- an input interface configured to input an operation signal to the one of the external devices;
- a display interface configured to conduct communication with a display terminal;
- a manipulation interface configured to conduct communication with a manipulation terminal;
- a storage unit configured to store repeat information indicating an input character string input to a preceding screen;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- cause the display terminal through the display interface to display the screen so as to receive an input of a key through the manipulation interface;
- transmit a first operation signal indicating the key to the one of the external devices through the input interface;
- and
- when the key is a repeat key, transmit a second operation signal for inputting the input character string indicated by the repeat information to the one of the external devices through the input interface.
A system comprising an information processing apparatus, the system comprising:
- an emulator configured to emulate a manipulation terminal connected to one of a plurality of external devices;
- a display terminal configured to display a screen;
- and
- the manipulation terminal configured to input a manipulation,
- wherein the information processing apparatus comprises:
- an image interface configured to acquire the screen for inputting a character string from the one of the external devices;
- an input interface connected to the emulator;
- and
- a display interface configured to conduct communication with the display terminal;
- a manipulation interface configured to conduct communication with the manipulation terminal;
- a storage unit configured to store repeat information indicating an input character string that has been input to a preceding screen;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- cause the display terminal through the display interface to display the screen so as to receive an input of a key through the manipulation interface;
- transmit a first operation signal indicating the key to the one of the external devices through the input interface;
- and
- when the key is a repeat key, transmit a second operation signal for inputting the input character string indicated by the repeat information to the one of the external devices through the input interface.
