Text-based command generation

A system for generating application-processable commands from character strings, the system comprising:

• a database in which are recorded keywords for presenting commands as conversion candidate objects, conversion candidate objects, and commands generated when a conversion candidate object has been selected;
• means for receiving a plurality of character strings inputted by a user for an application;
• means for converting a character string of the plurality of character strings to generate a completion candidate character string;
• means for referencing the database when the character string includes a keyword, and presenting, to the user, completion candidate character strings and conversion candidate objects as a conversion candidate list;
• and
• means for generating a command corresponding to a selected conversion candidate object in response to selection of one of the conversion candidate objects from the conversion candidate list by the user.

A computer program product for generating application-processable commands from character strings, the computer program product comprising a computer readable medium having computer-readable program code embodied therewith, which when executed by a computer processor, causes the computer processor to implement:

• preparing a database in which are recorded keywords for presenting commands as conversion candidate objects, conversion candidate objects, and commands generated when a conversion candidate object has been selected;
• receiving a plurality of character strings inputted by a user for an application;
• converting a character string of the plurality of character strings to generate a completion candidate character string;
• referencing the database when the character string includes a keyword, and presenting, to the user, completion candidate character strings and conversion candidate objects as a conversion candidate list;
• and
• generating a command corresponding to a selected conversion candidate object in response to selection of one of the conversion candidate objects from the conversion candidate list by the user.
