Patent number: 11556244Abstract: Information is read, which relates to an array of objects for input that have been displayed on a display unit upon input of input information. Whether an input object of the input information that is displayed on the display unit has been touched is determined. When the input object is determined as having been touched, the touched input object is recognized as an object to be corrected. A correction candidate object based on the array of the objects for input is displayed in the vicinity of the object to be corrected. Whether the correction candidate object has been touched is determined. When the correction candidate object is determined as having been touched, the object to be corrected is replaced with the touched correction candidate object.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2017Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: MAXELL, LTD.Inventors: Kazuhiko Yoshizawa, Yasunobu Hashimoto, Akira Ishiyama
