Display input device, control method for display input device, and computer-readable storage medium for storing control program for display input device

A method for controlling a display input device, the method comprising:

• displaying, in a software keyboard screen for inputting a symbol, a plurality of arranged symbol keys and an input display field for displaying a symbol corresponding to any of the plurality of symbol keys a display position of which has been touched,
• detecting a touch position touched by a user;
• recognizing an operated symbol key, the operated symbol key being a symbol key displayed at the touch position touched by the user;
• producing a normal display of a symbol corresponding to the operated symbol key in the input display field when the touch position is inside a predetermined inner region of a region of the operated symbol key;
• and
• displaying a questionable symbol in a manner different from in the normal display when the touch position is inside a peripheral region,
• the questionable symbol being a symbol corresponding to the operated symbol key operated in the peripheral region;
• the peripheral region being a region outside of the inner region in the region of the operated symbol key;
• providing a plurality of display modes as modes in which to display the questionable symbol in an alert display,
• in a case where an input confirmation mode has been selected from among the display modes,
• when the operated symbol key is operated in the peripheral region, displaying an input for confirmation screen, including a confirmation key, a delete key, and a correction key,
• recognizing a touch performed on the confirmation key as an operation for confirming the questionable symbol switching a display state of the questionable symbol from the alert display to the normal display,
• recognizing a touch performed on the delete key as an operation for commanding deletion of the questionable symbol, and deleting a display of the questionable symbol, and
• recognizing a touch performed on the correction key as an operation for correction by replacing the questionable symbol with a correct symbol corresponding to a symbol key touched after the touch performed on the correction key, and producing, a normal display of the correct symbol instead of the display of the questionable symbol.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for storing a program for controlling a display input device, wherein

• the program makes a display input device
• display, in a software keyboard screen for inputting symbols, a plurality of arranged symbol keys and an input display field for displaying a symbol corresponding to any of the plurality of symbol keys a display position of which has been touched,
• detect a touch position touched by a user,
• recognize an operated symbol key, the operated symbol key being a symbol key displayed at the touch position touched by the user,
• produce a normal display of a symbol corresponding to the operated symbol key in the input display field when the touch position is inside a predetermined inner region of a region of the operated symbol key, and
• display a questionable symbol in a manner different from in the normal display when the touch position is inside a peripheral region, the questionable symbol being a symbol corresponding to the operated symbol key that has been operated in the peripheral region, the peripheral region being a region outside of the inner region in the region of the operated key,
• in a case where an input confirmation mode has been selected as an input mode in which to display the questionable symbol in an alert display,
• when the operated symbol key is operated in the peripheral region, the program make the display input device,
• display an input for confirmation screen including a confirmation key, a delete key, and a correction key,
• recognize a touch performed on the confirmation key as an operation for confirming the questionable symbol and switch a display state of the questionable symbol from the alert display to the normal display,
• recognize a touch performed on the delete key as an operation for commanding deletion of the questionable symbol and delete a display of the questionable symbol, and
• recognize a touch performed on the correction key as an operation for correction by replacing the questionable symbol with a correct symbol corresponding to a symbol key touched after the touch performed on the correction key, and produce a normal display of the correct symbol instead of the display of the questionable symbol.
