Abstract: A character input device, method, or stored program, may involve performing operations including acquiring one or more conversion candidates for a character string input to the character input device, a detector detecting selection of a conversion candidate, confirming, as a first character string of the input character string, and acquiring one or more follow-up candidates that follow the first character string. As the one or more follow-up candidates, a character string or strings representing a state of an event related to the confirmed first character string, may be acquired. The detector may receive selection of an acquired follow-up candidate. The follow-up candidate whose selection is received by the detector may be confirmed as a new second character string that has continuity with the first character string last confirmed.

Abstract: A character input device according to one or more embodiments may include: an output unit configured to output a first character string to an application program having a suggestion function; a detector configured to detect selection of a second character string that is presented in correspondence with the first character string by the application program; and a registration unit configured to register, in a dictionary database, the second character string that is detected, by the detector, to have been selected.

Abstract: A character input device includes an input operation unit that receives an input of a character string, an operation detector that detects a change from a state in which the character string is output, a character string entry detector that enters the character string based on the change and generates an entered suggestion, and a storage that stores the entered suggestion as a conversion suggestion.

Abstract: A character input device for inputting a character repositions a software keyboard in accordance with a hand gripping a mobile terminal without an external attachment. A character input device includes an operation unit included in a body of the character input device and including a software keyboard to receive a character input performed with the software keyboard, an attitude detector that detects an attitude change of the body, and a controller that repositions the software keyboard in accordance with the attitude change.

Abstract: A character input device includes an operation unit that receives a character input performed with a flick input, a digit detector that determines a type of digit used for the flick input, and a controller that adjusts an input determination area for the character input in accordance with an input error count for the flick input.
