Abstract:
1. A method of copying and pasting data inputted in a plurality of input fields, comprising the steps of: reading out relative information of structured information of a hierarchical structure, acquired by analyzing input fields and field names of the plurality of input fields, from a memory unit; displaying a context menu including a group copy function, in response to clicking of a pointing device in an input field; displaying, as a subcategory of the group copy function, a list of one or more parent nodes of a node in the structured information corresponding to the input field at which clicking of the pointing device is detected, in a case where a pointer is positioned at the group copy function; copying, in response to selecting a parent node to be copied from the list of one or more parent nodes, data and a data type of nodes lower in the hierarchical structure than the selected parent node into a memory; comparing, in response to clicking of the pointing device at an input field selected as a pasting destination, a data type of the input field selected as the pasting destination with the data type of the data copied in the memory; displaying a context menu including a group pasting function, in a case where the data type of the input field selected as the pasting destination is identical to the data type of the data copied in the memory; and pasting the data from the memory into input fields lower than the input field selected as the pasting destination, in a case where the group pasting function is selected.
