Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes an input unit, a display unit, a designation unit and an update unit. The input unit inputs a plurality of parts configuring one character. The display unit displays the plurality of parts. The designation unit designates one or more parts selected from the plurality of parts by a user. The update unit updates a display on the display unit such that the designated one or more parts are deleted from the one character and the other parts are remained displayed on the display unit.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An information processing apparatus comprising:
an input unit that inputs a plurality of parts configuring one character; a display unit that displays the plurality of parts; a designation unit that designates one or more parts selected from the plurality of parts by a user; and an update unit that updates a display on the display unit such that the designated one or more parts are deleted from the one character and the other parts are remained displayed on the display unit.

2 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the update unit updates the display on the display unit such that the designated one or more parts are deleted, regardless of a reverse order to an order in which the plurality of parts are input by the input unit.

3 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,
wherein the display unit displays a cursor to designate any one of the plurality of parts, and the designation unit designates the one or more parts by moving the cursor displayed on the display unit, based on a user operation.

4 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a candidate display unit that specifies a position of one part of the one or more parts deleted from the one character, that extracts at least one part to be input in the specified position of the one part from a first candidate table, and that displays the extracted at least one part on the display unit, the first candidate table storing a position to be input for each of the plurality of parts stored therein.

5 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,
wherein the candidate display unit specifies a position of one part of the one or more parts deleted from the one character, that extracts at least one part to be input in the specified position of the one part from a second candidate table, and that displays the extracted at least one part on the display unit, the second candidate table storing, for each of the plurality of the other parts stored therein, at least one part to be combined with the other parts remained displayed to configure another character.

6 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , further comprising:
a correction unit that updates the display on the display unit such that a part that the user selects from the at least one part displayed on the display unit is inserted in the specified position of the one part, the inserted part is combined with the other parts remained displayed, and the combined parts are displayed on the display unit.

7 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a correction unit that specifies a position of one part of the one or more parts deleted from the one character and that updates the display on the display unit such that another part is inserted in the specified position of the one part, the inserted part is combined with the other parts remained displayed, and the combined parts are displayed on the display unit.

8 . A printing apparatus comprising:
an information processing apparatus that includes:
an input unit that inputs a plurality of parts configuring one character; and
a display unit that displays the plurality of parts;
a designation unit that designates one or more parts selected from the plurality of parts by a user; and
an update unit that updates a display on the display unit such that the designated one or more parts are deleted from the one character and the other parts are remained displayed on the display unit, and
a printing unit that prints a character displayed by the display unit.

9 . The printing apparatus according to claim 8 ,
wherein the update unit updates the display on the display unit such that the designated one or more parts are deleted, regardless of a reverse order to an order in which the plurality of parts are input by the input unit.

10 . The printing apparatus according to claim 8 ,
wherein the display unit displays a cursor to designate any one of the plurality of parts, and the designation unit designates the one or more parts by moving the cursor displayed on the display unit, based on a user operation.

11 . The printing apparatus according to claim 8 , further comprising:
a candidate display unit that specifies a position of one part of the one or more parts deleted from the one character, that extracts at least one part to be input in the specified position of the one part from a first candidate table, and that displays the extracted at least one part on the display unit, the first candidate table storing a position to be input for each of the plurality of parts stored therein.

12 . The printing apparatus according to claim 8 , further comprising:
a correction unit that specifies a position of one part of the one or more parts deleted from the one character, and that updates the display on the display unit such that another part is inserted in the specified position of the one part, the inserted part is combined with the other parts remained displayed, and the combined parts are displayed on the display unit.

13 . An information processing method comprising:
inputting a plurality of parts configuring one character; displaying the plurality of parts; designating one or more parts selected from the plurality of parts by a user; and updating a display such that the designated one or more parts are deleted from the one character and the other parts are remained displayed.

14 . The information processing method according to claim 13 ,
wherein the updating updates such that the designated one or more parts are deleted, regardless of a reverse order to an order in which the plurality of parts are input.

15 . The information processing method according to claim 13 ,
wherein the display displays a cursor to designate any one of the plurality of parts, and the designating designates the one or more parts by moving the cursor displayed, based on a user operation.

16 . The information processing method according to claim 13 , further comprising:
specifying a position of one part of the deleted one or more parts deleted from the one character, extracting at least one part to be input in the specified position of the one part from a first candidate table, and displaying the extracted at least one part, the first candidate table storing a position to be input for each of the plurality of parts stored therein.

17 . The information processing method according to claim 13 , further comprising:
specifying a position of one part of the deleted one or more parts deleted from the one character, updating the display such that another part is inserted in the specified position of the one part, the inserted part is combined with the other parts remained displayed, and the combined parts are displayed.

18 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a program executable by a computer of an information processing apparatus, the program controlling the computer to perform functions comprising:
inputting a plurality of parts configuring one character; displaying the plurality of parts; designating one or more parts selected from the plurality of parts by a user; and updating a display such that the designated one or more parts are deleted from the one character and the other parts are remained displayed.

19 . The storage medium according to claim 18 ,
wherein the updating updates such that the designated one or more parts are del
