Abstract
A portable electronic device capable of more easily selecting a desired text input application, a method of controlling the same, and a program are provided. In a state in which characters or an image is displayed on a display of a portable telephone, an instruction is given such that either the image or at least one of the characters (for example, the characters 'a', 'i', “u”, and “e” on a region) is selected and then the character or the image is moved to an end region (for example, the right side of an end region). Consequently, the portable telephone starts a text input application storing the character associated with the end region (for example, a notepad application) and the selected character or image is input.
