1. An input display control device comprising:
processing circuitry to acquire curve information indicating a curve;
to acquire a character string; and
to generate display information for displaying the character string along the curve indicated by the curve information,
wherein the processing circuitry sets a first virtual region around a display region of a display, sets, as a second virtual region, a region which is a part of the display region of the display and which does not display display information shared with a terminal of a communication partner in order to match an aspect ratio with an aspect ratio of the terminal of the communication partner,
in a case where it is determined that a part of the character string protrudes from a remaining region of the display region because a length of the curve reaching an end of the remaining region of the display region of the display is shorter than a length of the character string, extends the curve to any one of the first virtual region, the second virtual region, and the first virtual region straddling the second virtual region, the remaining region of the display region being a region obtained by removing the second virtual region from the display region in which the second virtual region is set, and
generates display information in which the part of the character string is virtually disposed along the extended curve in any one of the first virtual region, the second virtual region, and the first virtual region straddling the second virtual region,
wherein the processing circuitry accepts selection of the character string partially disposed in any one of the first virtual region, the second virtual region, and the first virtual region straddling the second virtual region, and generates, in a case where an operation of moving the selected character string is accepted, display information for displaying the entire character string in the display region without any of the entire character string being displayed in the second virtual region or the first virtual region, and transmitting the generated display information to the terminal of the communication partner so that the terminal of the communication partner which has the aspect ratio corresponding to the display region and does not have the first virtual region or the second virtual region displays the entire character string.
