Abstract

The application (33) requests a basic processing part (31) to execute character input processing, depending on the character input request from the user during display of a graphics window managed by an application (33). The execution environment part (32), which received the character input processing request, notifies the basic processing part (31) of the character input processing request, and turns in a display blocked state. After that, characters are input under the control of the basic processing part (31). When character input is terminated, the basic processing part (31) closes the display of the character input screen to notify the execution environment part (32) of the termination of the character input and the character input result. The execution environment part (32), which received the notice, releases the display blocked state and notifies the application (33) of the termination of the character input and the character input result data.
