Mobile electronic apparatus and control method of mobile electronic apparatus

A method of controlling a mobile electronic apparatus including a storage unit, an operating unit for performing a character input operation, a built-in acquiring unit for acquiring an image, a display unit, an analyzing unit for analyzing an image and extracting character information contained in the image, and a control unit, the method comprising:

• acquiring, by the built-in acquiring unit, a photographed image of a subject;
• analyzing, by the analyzing unit, the photographed image and extracting character information contained in the photographed image;
• displaying, by the display unit, a first screen indicating a progress of extracting the character information from the photographed image;
• in response to the character input operation which (i) is performed with the operating unit at any time during the progress of extracting the character information from the photographed image and (ii) does not specify any character extracted from the photographed image,
• displaying, by the display unit, a second screen different from the first screen, and displaying characters entered by the character input operation in the second screen;
• and
• upon detecting an operation indicating an end of the character input operation while the second screen is displayed on the display unit,
• storing, in the storage unit, the characters entered by the character input operation in association with the character information extracted by the analyzing unit,
• wherein
• the display unit is disposed on at least a first surface of the mobile electronic apparatus, and
• the built-in acquiring unit is disposed at least on the first surface or on a second surface of the mobile electronic apparatus to the display unit, the second surface being opposite to the first surface.

A mobile electronic apparatus comprising:

• a storage unit;
• an operating unit for performing a character input operation;
• a built-in acquiring unit for acquiring a photographed image of a subject;
• a display unit disposed on a surface of the mobile electric apparatus;
• an analyzing unit for analyzing the photographed image acquired by the built-in acquiring unit and extracting character information contained in the photographed image;
• and
• a control unit configured to,
• upon the photographed image being analyzed, cause the display unit to display a first screen for indicating a progress of the analyzing by the analyzing unit,
• upon detecting the character input operation which (i) is performed with the operating unit at any time during the progress of analyzing the photographed image and (ii) does not specify any character extracted from the photographed image,
• cause the display unit to switch the first screen for indicating the progress of the analyzing to a second screen, different from the first screen, for displaying characters entered by the character input operation, and
• upon detecting an operation indicating an end of the character input operation while the second screen is displayed on the display unit,
• store, in the storage unit, the characters entered by the character input operation in addition to and without replacing the character information extracted by the analyzing unit.
