  • Publication number: 20050165973
    Abstract: A communications terminal apparatus, a reception apparatus, and a method can enhance the effect of reducing the amount of information to be transmitted when text data is generated and transmitted. The communications terminal apparatus 100 stores key identifier definition information in a key identifier definition-storage area 1071. The communications terminal apparatus 100 obtains a key identifier corresponding to an operated key from the key identifier definition-storage area 1071 when the key is operated, and adds and stores it as a key identifier string in the input key identifier storage area 1073. The communications terminal apparatus 100 transmits the key identifier string stored in the input key identifier storage area 1073 by the transmission function 1031 when a transmit instruction is detected.
