(7)上記実施の形態3では、生成部312aは、第2検出情報を生成し、さらに、第3検出情報を生成するとしたが、第1検出情報に基づいて、未設置キーテーブルに示されるキーに対応する部分と特殊キーに対応付けられたマスクすべきキーに対応する部分とをマスクした検出情報(第4検出情報)を生成するとしてもよい。
(8)上記実施の形態3では、テーブル保持部313aは、マスクキーテーブルを保持しているとしたが、アプリケーションからマスクすべきキーを示す情報を受け付けて、自動的にマスクキーテーブルを書き換えるとしてもよい。
(9)上記実施の形態3では、特殊キーには、「Ctrl」キー、「ALT」キー、「SHIFT」キーが該当するとしたが、これに限らない。複数のキーとの同時押しが想定されるキーであればよい。
