PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problems of a language input means conventionally provided in a home video game machine to give a list of characters on a screen for a user to select the characters by means of direction indicating keys such as arrow keys, and push down a specific button to define the selection, thus inputting the characters one by one, in which the video game machine cannot function as a computer to assist thinking, since one composes sentences based on the sound of words, not by the shape or color of the characters. PSOLUTION: While using the hardware form and computation ability of the home vide game machine, a row of characters can be efficiently inputted while focusing on thinking. The home video game machine can thus function as a substitute for a personal computer. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
