Information processing apparatus

A program of an information processing apparatus, the program allowing a computer to execute as:

• a display unit that displays content information including a character string;
• a memory unit that stores a character type-function correspondence information in which one or plural functions and a character type of a character that is a subject to which the corresponding function is executed are associated with each other;
• a function selection unit that selects a function that should be executed;
• a character selection unit that selects a desired character string in the content information displayed on the display unit;
• a character identification unit that refers to the character type-function correspondence information in order to determine whether a character having a valid character type to which the function selected by the function selection unit can be executed is present or not in the character string selected by the character selection unit;
• and
• a valid character string decision unit that decides a valid character string, which is a subject to which the function is executed, from the selected character string selected by the character selection unit, when the character identification unit determines that the character having the valid character type is present.

A character string selecting method for an information processing apparatus including a display unit that displays content information including a character string;

• a memory unit that stores a character type-function correspondence information in which one or plural functions and a character type of a character that is a subject to which the corresponding function is executed are associated with each other;
• a function selection unit;
• a character selection unit;
• a character identification unit;
• and a valid character string decision unit, wherein
• the function selection unit selects a function that should be executed,
• the character selection unit selects a desired character string in the content information displayed on the display unit,
• the character identification unit refers to the character type-function correspondence information in order to determine whether a character having a valid character type to which the function selected by the function selection unit can be executed is present or not in the character string selected by the character selection unit, and
• the valid character string decision unit decides a valid character string, which is a subject to which the function is executed, from the selected character string selected by the character selection unit, when the character identification unit determines that the character having the valid character type is present.

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• a character string display unit that displays content information including a character string;
• a memory unit that stores a character type-function correspondence information in which executable functions and a character type of a character that is a subject to which the corresponding function is executed are associated with each other;
• a character selection unit that selects a desired character string in the content information displayed on the character string display unit;
• a character type acquiring unit that acquires a character type of a first character of the selected character string;
• a function acquiring unit that acquires an executable function associated with the acquired character type from the character type-function correspondence information, after a character string is selected by the character selection unit;
• a valid character string decision unit that decides a valid character string, to which the function is executed, from the selected character string selected by the character selection unit, for each of the acquired executable functions;
• and
• a function selection unit that selects the executable function from the acquired executable functions.

A program of an information processing apparatus, the program allowing a computer to execute as:

• a character string display unit that displays content information including a character string;
• a memory unit that stores a character type-function correspondence information in which executable functions and a character type of a character that is a subject to which the corresponding function is executed are associated with each other;
• a character selection unit that selects a desired character string from the content information displayed on the character string display unit;
• a character type acquiring unit that acquires a character type of a first character in the selected character string;
• a function acquiring unit that acquires an executable function associated with the acquired character type from the character type-function correspondence information, after the character string is selected by the character selection unit;
• a valid character string decision unit that decides a valid character string, to which the function is executed, from the selected character string selected by the character selection unit, for each of the acquired executable functions;
• and
• a function selection unit that selects the executable function from the acquired executable functions.

A character string and function selecting method for an information processing apparatus including a character string display unit that displays content information including a character string;

• a memory unit that stores a character type-function correspondence information in which executable functions and a character type of a character that is a subject to which the corresponding function is executed are associated with each other;
• a character selection unit;
• a character type acquiring unit;
• a function acquiring unit;
• a valid character string decision unit;
• and a function execution unit, wherein
• the character selection unit selects a desired character string in the content information displayed on the character string display unit,
• the character type acquiring unit acquires a character type of a first character of the selected character string,
• the function acquiring unit acquires an executable function associated with the acquired character type from the character type-function correspondence information, after the character string selection unit selects a character string;
• the valid character string decision unit decides a valid character string, to which the function is executed, from the selected character string selected, for each of the acquired executable functions;
• and
• the function selection unit selects the executable function from the acquired executable functions.

An electronic apparatus comprising:

• a memory unit that stores plural executable operation functions and a character type as associated with each other;
• a display unit that displays the operation function and a character string;
• a character selection unit that selects a desired character from the character string displayed on the display unit;
• a character type acquiring unit that identifies and acquires a character type of the character selected by the character selection unit;
• a function acquiring unit that acquires the operation function corresponding to the character type acquired by the character type acquiring unit from the memory unit;
• and
• a control unit that displays the operation function acquired by the function acquiring unit on the display unit.

A control method for controlling an electronic apparatus including a memory unit that stores plural executable operation functions and a character type as associated with each other, the control method comprising:

• a display step that displays a character string;
• a character selection step that selects a desired character from the displayed character string;
• a character type acquiring step that identifies and acquires a character type of the selected character;
• a function acquiring step that acquires the operation function corresponding to the acquired character type from the memory unit;
• and
• a display control step that displays the acquired operation function.
