Table E is a table for allocating "wa row" in the order of the Japanese syllabary, followed by "-(long)", ", (reading point)", and ". (Punctuation)".

Table F includes various symbols (for example, "!"
And "?") In order.

The table G is a table for assigning a function of converting a hiragana having a lowercase letter into a lowercase letter. The table H is a table for assigning a function of converting a hiragana having a cloud point and a semi-voice point into characters with “゛” and “゜”. Table I is a table for assigning a decision function. Table J is a table for assigning a pseudo incoming call function. Table K
Is a table for assigning a clear (one character deletion) function. Table L is a table for assigning an input mode conversion function (switching between hiragana (kanji) input, katakana input, alphabetic character input, and numeric input).

FIG. 4 shows a model correspondence table (model setting information) which defines a table to be used as appropriate for each model based on the method of inputting the model name of the existing mobile phone. It is stored in a storage unit such as the device 14.

Next, the setting procedure will be described. (1) Model setting When the player selects the setting by model setting, the model name registered in the model correspondence table is displayed on the screen display device 17. When the player selects a model name using a selection means such as the input device 20, a model correspondence table is searched based on the selected model name, and a plurality of characters or functions corresponding to the operation keys are assigned.

More specifically, when the player inputs the model name “XX7”
When "N" is selected, lowercase letters of "A line" are added to the operation keys 211, followed by ordinary characters of "A line" to the operation keys 212, and "SA line" to the operation keys 213. Ordinary characters, the lowercase letter “tsu” is added to the operation key 214 followed by the lowercase letter “tsu”, the operation key 215 is an ordinary character of “na line”, and the operation key 216 is an ordinary character of “ha line”. The operation key 217 is operated with the ordinary character of "ma line", the operation key 218 is operated with the ordinary character of "ya line", the lower case character of "ya line" is operated, and the operation key 219 is operated with the ordinary character of "ra line".
