Abstract
An information terminal device and an operation supporting method for enhancing operability by anticipating, based on a history of previous operations performed by a user, a next operation to be performed after a specific operation input by the user, and supporting a user's operation input based on the anticipation. An operation history storing section stores information about an operation input by the user to an input section. Based on the operation history information, an operation anticipating section anticipates a next operation likely to be executed by the user. An operation supporting section supports execution of a function corresponding to the operation anticipated by the operation anticipating section. In the operation supporting section, an anticipated operation executing section 15 automatically executes the anticipated operation, or a user notification section notifies the user if an operation subsequently input to the input section does not coincide with the anticipated operation.
