Information terminal device, operation supporting method, and operation supporting program

An information terminal device for executing, based on an operation input by a user, a function corresponding to the operation, comprising:

• an input section for inputting an operation required by the user;
• a transmitting section for transmitting information about the operation input to the input section to a server as an operation history;
• a receiving section for receiving, from the server, information about a next operation anticipated by the server to be subsequently input by the user after the operation input to the input section, and
• an anticipated operation supporting section for supporting execution of a function corresponding to the next operation received by the receiving section.

An information terminal device for executing, based on an operation input by a user, a function corresponding to the operation, comprising:

• an input section for inputting an operation required by the user;
• a storing section for storing, in a storage medium, information about the operation input to the input section, as an operation history;
• an obtaining section for obtaining operation history information stored in the storage medium when the operation is input to the input section;
• an operation anticipating section for anticipating a next operation to be subsequently input by the user after the operation input to the input section, based on the operation history information obtained by the obtaining section;
• and
• an anticipated operation supporting section for supporting execution of a function corresponding to the next operation anticipated by the operation anticipating section.

An operation supporting method performed by an information terminal device executing, based on an operation input by a user, a function corresponding to the operation, comprising the steps of:

• inputting an operation required by the user;
• storing information about the operation input at the inputting step, as an operation history, in a predetermined storing section;
• when the operation is input at the inputting step, anticipating a next operation to be subsequently input by the user after the input operation, based on operation history information stored in the storing section;
• and
• supporting execution of a function corresponding to the next operation anticipated at the anticipating step.

A program executed by an information terminal device executing, based on an operation input by a user, a function corresponding to the operation, the program causing the information terminal device to execute the steps of:

• inputting an operation required by the user;
• storing information about the operation input at the inputting step, as an operation history, in a predetermined storing section;
• when the operation is input at the inputting step, anticipating a next operation to be subsequently input by the user after the input operation, based on operation history information stored in the storing section;
• and
• supporting execution of a function corresponding to the next operation anticipated at the anticipating step.
