摘要

A display-operation setting database for defining key arrangements on the input unit (soft keyboard) of a client according to the type of an application which runs on a server is stored in the server beforehand. When the application running on the server is changed according to an input event from the client, definition information on the key arrangement corresponding to the operation application is read from the stored database and transmitted to the client. The key arrangement displayed on the input unit (soft keyboard) of the client is changed to a key arrangement corresponding to the operation application on the basis of the definition information received from the server. Then, a key signal corresponding to the user operation on the basis of the key arrangement is transmuted to the server, thereby specifying the processing of the operation application.
