Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method, executed by an electronic apparatus, includes retrieving, in response to input of a character string by a user, conversion candidates associated with the input character string, each conversion candidate having a first rank. The method also includes displaying, when a plurality of the conversion candidates are present, the plurality of conversion candidates within a corresponding plurality of regions on a map wherein conversion candidates that have a higher first rank occupy larger regions on the map. A corresponding computer program product and corresponding computer systems are also disclosed herein.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method, executed by an electronic apparatus, the method comprising: retrieving, in response to input of a character string by a user, conversion candidates associated with the input character string, each conversion candidate having a first rank, wherein the input character string is a mail address and each conversion candidate is a nickname or a name, wherein the first rank or a second rank corresponds to a total number of users who transmitted mails, or a total number of mails transmitted, to the mail address using each nickname or name; wherein the first rank is based on a first count corresponding to a total number of users who transmitted mails to the mail address using each nickname or name, wherein the first rank is further based on a second count corresponding to a total number of mails transmitted to the mail address using each nickname or name by the user; displaying, when a plurality of the conversion candidates are present, the plurality of conversion candidates within a corresponding plurality of regions on a map; wherein conversion candidates that have a higher first rank occupy larger regions on the map; and wherein conversion candidates that have a higher first count occupy larger regions on the map, wherein a first region associated with a conversion candidate having a highest first count comprises 50% of the map, wherein a second region associated with a conversion candidate having a second highest first count comprises 30% of the map, wherein a third region associated with a conversion candidate having a third highest first count comprises 20% of the map, and wherein the plurality of regions on the map are further colored with chroma ordered according to the second count; and displaying, in response to a user selecting a particular region of the plurality of regions on the map with a user input device, information associated with the conversion candidate corresponding to the particular selected region.
