With regard to handwriting input, the guider 1 of present embodiment is passed through to execute following process, is set based on guider 1 This characteristic on vehicle, to improve user's ease of use.

Hereinafter, describe the action of the guider 1 relevant with handwriting input in detail.

Fig. 2 is the flow chart of the action representing guider 1.

In the following description, it is illustrated following situation: in for example corresponding with the destination title word of user input Or during text line, inputted by each word of word or composition text line by handwriting input.

For example, in user's search destination's route, inputted by handwriting input and destination's title pair indicating In the case of the word answered or text line, in the control unit 2 of guider 1 whole region of display picture in touch panel 3 It is provided as the 1st region da1 (step sa1) of handwriting input region function.

Fig. 3 is the figure of the relation representing the 1st region da1 and operating area sa.In figure 3,1st region is represented by dashed line da1.Fig. 4 is the figure for left region la and right region ra are described.

As shown in figure 3, the 1st region da1 (the 1st field) is to arrange with the corresponding mode of operating area sa of touch panel 3. 1st region da1 is set to handwriting input region.Because operating area sa is corresponding with display picture hg, so the 1st region da1 Corresponding with display picture hg.That is, the 1st region da1 is configured to the whole region with display picture hg as handwriting input region Corresponding.

It is like this, corresponding with the whole region of display picture hg of touch panel 3 by being arranged to handwriting input region, User can carry out handwriting input in any part of display picture hg, rather than in the specific region being formed at display picture hg Carry out handwriting input.Therefore, when starting handwriting input, user does not need to confirm handss in display picture hg of touch panel 3 Write the position of input area.Especially, in vehicle, play effect shown below.In the left and right with respect to display picture hg Direction y1 and by driver's seat in the case of the vehicle on right side, driver carries out handss in the operating area sa to touch panel 3 When writing input, if the left side of the operating area sa of touch panel 3 is set as handwriting input region, handwriting input region is located at Away from driver remote position.Assume to be set as the feelings in handwriting input region on the right side of the operating area sa by touch panel 3 Under condition, with respect to driver, position becomes near in handwriting input region, but co-driver for the co-pilot seat positioned at vehicle (with Under, it is expressed as " co-pilot seat person ") it is located at remote position.Therefore, handwriting input region is being arranged to and display picture hg Whole region corresponding in the case of, the user for position circumscribed as the driver of vehicle and co-pilot seat person comes Say, improve ease of use when carrying out handwriting input.

In the diagram, left region la is to keep left the region of side compared with the central part t of the left and right directions y1 of the 1st region da1. In addition, right region ra is region on the right side compared with the central part t of the left and right directions y1 of the 1st region da1.Control unit 2 is in quilt In the case of being set as having carried out handwriting input in the 1st region da1 in handwriting input region, with method described later, based on the 1st area The position of the handwriting in the da1 of domain, the region of the side in left region la and right region ra is set as accepting handwriting Input the 2nd region da2 (the 2nd field), by the region of the opposing party be set as show candidate character (aftermentioned) the 3rd region Da3 (the 3rd field).

Return to the explanation of flow chart, the signal that control unit 2 exports according to touch panel 3, judge handwriting input whether Start, i.e. whether carried out operating of contacts (step sa2) in the 1st region da1 being set to handwriting input region.Opening Begin in the case of handwriting input, i.e. in the case of operating of contacts is detected (step sa2: yes), control unit 2 is from touch surface Plate 3 obtains the signal representing contact position.

Then, control unit 2 judges whether handwriting input terminates (step sa3).Whether terminate with regard to handwriting input Judge, the period that control unit 2 is not detected by operating of contacts after operating of contacts starts has exceeded the feelings of period set in advance Under condition, judge into handwriting input and terminate (step sa3: yes).That is, without from touch panel 3 after having started handwriting input In the case that output represents the information of contact position, the period that control unit 2 does not have output information at this exceedes the phase set in advance Between in the case of, judge into handwriting input and terminate.

Timing is carried out to period set in advance by timer (not shown).In detail, from touch panel 3 In the case of representing that the output of the information of contact position is interrupted, control unit 2 starts timing by timer.By timer When period of going out be less than period set in advance in the case of, control unit 2 judges into handwriting input not yet to be terminated.On the other hand, In the case that the period going out when by timer has exceeded period set in advance, control unit 2 has judged into handwriting input Terminate.

Period set in advance is for will be the defeated of handwriting by the word that user inputs in handwriting input region Enter sufficiently long period (for example, 3 seconds) for being considered as completing.In addition, the word situation about being made up of many strokes in handwriting input Under, this period set in advance be set as with the past unicursal terminate to next draw start period compared with long enough. Midway thereby, it is possible to suppress to input word by handwriting input in user judges into the completed situation of input of word.

Return to the explanation of flow chart, judging into after handwriting input terminates, control unit 2 is to from user to judging into At the end of be set to the handwriting of input in the 1st region da1 in handwriting input region and be identified, extract one or more Candidate character (step sa4) as the candidate of recognition result.

The signal of the track based on the contact position for handwriting for the control unit 2, is identified to handwriting, passes through The method of regulation, obtains the character features information of the handwriting identifying.Then, control unit 2 is stored with reference to storage part 4 Lteral data 4b, the character features information that hand-written character features information is had with lteral data 4b is compared, and calculates The matching degree of the degree that each word of expression handwriting and the Word message based on lteral data 4b matches.Then, control Portion 2 using the word being drawn based on the Word message high with handwriting matching degree as candidate character, by matching degree from high to low Order extract quantity set in advance.

Additionally, the method that handwriting is identified, extracts with candidate character is not limited to said method, can be any side Method.For example, it is also possible to be configured to, the function of being communicated with external server is arranged to guider 1, control unit 2 is to external service Device sends required information, query candidate word, extracts candidate character based on the response for inquiry.

Then, control unit 2 execution region setting processing (step sa5).

Fig. 5 is the flow chart of the details of region setting processing representing step sa5.

Region setting processing is following process: for left region la and right region ra, the region of a side is set as accepting The 2nd region da2 (the 2nd field) of handwriting input, and the region of the opposing party is set as showing the 3rd region da3 of candidate character (the 3rd field).

As shown in figure 5, in the setting processing of region, control unit 2 is outer to the handwriting of input in the 1st region da1 The center of edge carries out specific (step sb1).Hereinafter, step sb1 is described in detail.

In the case that control unit 2 have input handwriting in the 1st region da1, will hand-written literary composition corresponding with handwriting Digital data md (with reference to Fig. 6) is deployed in the coordinate system of regulation.Handwriting data md is the group with the point in regulation coordinate system Close and to represent the data of inputted handwriting.

Fig. 6 is in the case that the assigned position of the 1st region da1 have input the handwriting of expression " day ", will be deployed in The figure that handwriting data md in the coordinate system of regulation is together illustrated with the coordinate system specifying.

Control unit 2 in the case that the assigned position of the 1st region da1 have input the handwriting of expression " day ", based on table Show the signal of contact position corresponding with the track of " day ", in the region ka of the coordinate system of regulation, launch and represent " day " Handwriting corresponding handwriting data md.

Region ka is in the coordinate system of regulation, corresponding with the 1st region da1, is for keeping indicating the value of touch free operation Point dt launch rectangular area.Left and right directions in 1st region da1 is corresponding with the x-axis direction in the coordinate system of regulation, and the 1st Above-below direction in the da1 of region is corresponding with the y-axis direction in the coordinate system of regulation.In addition, in the coordinate system of regulation, x-axis Towards (+) direction corresponding with the right direction in the 1st region da1.Y-axis direction (+) direction and the 1st region da1 in upper Direction corresponds to.The position of each point dt of region ka can be uniquely specific by the coordinate in coordinate system.Control unit 2 is based on according to expression The contact position coordinate that the infomation detection of contact position goes out, and handwriting data md is launched in the ka of region.

In the example of fig. 6, region ka is formed at the region of the 1st quadrant of coordinate system of regulation.Region ka is to advise Point p0 (0,0) positioned at initial point of fixed coordinate system, be located at x-axis on point p1 (xp, 0), be located at y-axis on point p2 (0, yp) and This 4 points of point p3 (xp, yp) is the rectangular area on summit.In addition, in the coordinate system of regulation, direction of x-axis (+) direction and Right direction in 1st region da1 corresponds to.Y-axis direction (+) direction corresponding with the upper direction in the 1st region da1.

Then, control unit 2 outer rim (outer rim of handwriting) of hand-written lteral data md is carried out specific.Handwriting number Outer rim according to md is to surround the rectangle frame of handwriting data md.

In the example of fig. 6, control unit 2 using the following method the outer rim of hand-written lteral data md is carried out specific.Control unit 2 Being near x-axis (+) point of side (below, be expressed as " x (+) point "), being near x-axis based on handwriting data md Point (below, be expressed as " x (-) point of (-) side "), be near y-axis (+) point of side (below, be expressed as " y (+) point ") and Be in the outer rim of hand-written lteral data md is carried out near y-axis (-) point of side (below, be expressed as " y (-) point ") specific. Specifically, control unit 2 will by vertical with respect to x-axis and by x (+) the vertical line s1 that puts, vertical with respect to x-axis and by x (-) The vertical line s2 of point, vertical with respect to y-axis and by y (+) the vertical line s3 that puts with vertical with respect to y-axis and by y (-) put vertical The rectangle that line s4 is formed is specifically for the outer rim of handwriting data md.

The outer rim to hand-written lteral data md carry out specific after, control unit 2 is using the following method to hand-written lteral data md Outer rim centre coordinate (center of the outer rim of handwriting) carry out specific.

That is, control unit 2 is minima in the point of the outer rim constituting handwriting data md, expression x coordinate and y-coordinate Point (below, being expressed as " minimum point ") and represent that the point that x coordinate and y-coordinate are maximum (below, is expressed as " maximum Point ") carry out specific.In the example of fig. 6, control unit 2 will point dt1 specifically for minimum point, will point dt2 specifically for maximum Point.

Then, minimum point and maximum of points are carried out specific after, the coordinate based on minimum point for the control unit 2 and maximum The coordinate of value point, it is specific to the coordinate at the center of the outer rim of hand-written lteral data md to be that centre coordinate is carried out.In figure 6, in point The coordinate of dt1 is (xmin, ymin), the coordinate of point dt2 is for, in the case of (xmax, ymax), control unit 2 would indicate that ([xmax+ Xmin]/2, [ymax+ymin]/2) coordinate specifically for centre coordinate.In the example of fig. 6, control unit 2 is by the coordinate of point dt3 Specifically for centre coordinate.Additionally, centre coordinate also can be by (xmin+ [xmax-xmin]/2, ymin+ [ymax-ymin]/2) Obtain.

Additionally, in figure 6, because the outer rim of handwriting is rectangle, so the center phase of the outer rim of handwriting Position of centre of gravity when the outer rim in handwriting.

When entering to the centre coordinate (center of the outer rim of handwriting) of the outer rim of hand-written lteral data md in step sb1 After row is specific, control unit 2 judges whether the x coordinate (below, being expressed as " outer rim center x coordinate ") of centre coordinate is less than region ka X-axis direction on center x coordinate (below, being expressed as " regional center x coordinate ") (step sb2).In the example of fig. 6, Regional center x coordinate is (xp/2).In addition, in the example of fig. 6, outer rim center x coordinate is ([xmax+xmin]/2).

It is meant that the handss that are input in the 1st region da1 in the case that outer rim center x coordinate is less than regional center x coordinate Center on the left and right directions of the outer rim writing word is compared with the center on the left and right directions of the 1st region da1 positioned at left side.Another Aspect, it is meant that being input in the 1st region da1 in the case that outer rim center x coordinate is more than or equal to regional center x coordinate Center on the left and right directions of the outer rim of handwriting is compared with the center on the left and right directions of the 1st region da1 positioned at right side.

Judge into outer rim center x coordinate and be less than in the case of regional center x coordinate (step sb2: yes) in step sb2, Left region la is set as accepting the 2nd region da2 of handwriting input by control unit 2, and right region ra is set as showing candidate character The 3rd region da3 (step sb3).

On the other hand, judge into outer rim center x coordinate in step sb2 more than or equal in the case of regional center x coordinate (step sb2: no), right region ra is set as accepting the 2nd region da2 of handwriting input by control unit 2, and left region la is set as 3rd region da3 (step sb4) of display candidate character.

Like this, in the present embodiment, the left and right directions of the outer rim of the handwriting in being input to the 1st region da1 Center compared with the center on the left and right directions of the 1st region da1 in the case of left side, left region la is set to accept handss Write the 2nd region da2 of input, right region ra is set to show the 3rd region da3 of candidate character.On the other hand, it is being input to The center of the left and right directions of the outer rim of handwriting of 1 region da1 position compared with the center on the left and right directions of the 1st region da1 In the case of right side, right region ra is set to accept the 2nd region da2 of handwriting input, left region la is set to show candidate 3rd region da3 of word.Thus, play following effect.

That is, it is input to the left side at the center of the left and right directions of the outer rim of handwriting in the 1st region da1 and the 1st region da1 Center in right direction is compared positioned at left side it is meant that the center with respect to the 1st region da1 for the handwriting inputs with being kept left. Should in the case of, can regard as input handwriting people for, with the center with respect to the 1st region da1 keep right defeated The situation entering handwriting is compared, and the center with respect to the 1st region da1 inputs handwriting with keeping left and is more prone to, and then can Enough regard as expectation and input handwriting with keeping left.More than being based on, the outer rim of the handwriting in being input to the 1st region da1 The center of left and right directions compared with the center on the left and right directions of the 1st region da1 in the case of left side, make to accept hand-written 2nd region da2 of input is left region la, and the 3rd region da3 making display candidate character is right region ra, thereby, it is possible to improve The convenience of user.Center for the left and right directions of the outer rim of the handwriting being input in the 1st region da1 and the 1st region The situation that center on the left and right directions of da1 compares positioned at right side is also same.

Hereinafter, the process of execution after the process of step sb3 is described, then, execution after the process of step sb4 is described Process.

After the process performing step sb3, control unit 2 judges that maximum of points (constitutes the outer rim of handwriting data md Point in, x coordinate and y-coordinate be the point of maximum) x coordinate (below, being expressed as " maximum x coordinate ") whether be less than region Center x coordinate (step sb5).

Maximum x coordinate is less than regional center x coordinate it is meant that the whole area of the handwriting being input in the 1st region da1 Domain positioned at left side, is that the whole region of handwriting is contained in left region la compared with the center of the left and right directions of the 1st region da1 Interior state.

In the case that maximum x coordinate is less than regional center x coordinate (step sb5: yes), control unit 2 is maintain input In the state of the size of the handwriting in the 1st region da1 and position, formed in left region la and accept the of handwriting input 2 region da2, form the 3rd region da (step sb6) of display candidate character in right region ra.Thus, left region la becomes energy User is enough supplied to continue the region of input handwriting, right region ra becomes display candidate corresponding with the handwriting being inputted literary composition The region of word.

Fig. 7 is to represent the left and right directions y1 being input to the whole region of handwriting tm by user than the 1st region da1 Central part t keeps left the figure of display picture hg in the case of side.In the case of being somebody's turn to do, with regard to handwriting corresponding with handwriting tm Data md, maximum x coordinate is less than regional center x coordinate.As shown in fig. 7, as handwriting tm, by user in the 1st region da1 In have input the handwriting of " day ".

Fig. 8 be represent and have input handwriting tm in the way of illustrating by Fig. 7 in the case of, the process of execution step sb6, It is formed with the 2nd region da2 accepting handwriting input in left region la, right region ra is formed with the of display candidate character The figure of the situation of 3 region da3.

As shown in Figures 7 and 8, in the central part of the left and right directions y1 of whole region and the 1st region da1 of handwriting tm In the case that t compares the side input that kept left, in the left region la being set to the 2nd region da2, maintaining position and size The handwriting tm that user is inputted is shown under state.

In addition, as shown in figure 8, control unit 2, in the 3rd region da3 being formed at right region ra, is shown in the following manner The one or more candidate characters extracting in step sa4.That is, control unit 2, in the 3rd region da3, shows as catalog kl Show the one or more candidate characters extracting in step sa4.In fig. 8, the 3rd region da3 is as handwriting tm The i.e. candidate character of " day ", display represents the candidate character k1 of " day ", represents the candidate character k2 of " mesh ", represents the candidate of " mouth " Word k3, represent " white " candidate character k4, represent " old " candidate character k5, expression " because " candidate character k6, expression The candidate character k7 of " four " and the candidate character k8 representing " certainly ".It is configured to select these candidate characters, control unit 2 is worked as Be have selected after a candidate character by the operation of user, selected candidate character is input to region a1.A1 is suitable in this region In the word of the title to destination etc. for the input pin or the input area of text line.For example, in display picture hg of Fig. 8, In the case that user have selected candidate character k1, control unit 2 would indicate that the word of " day " is input to region a1.

In the case that the 2nd region da2 is formed at left region la, the 2nd region da2 is arranged to and left area by control unit 2 Domain la corresponds to.That is, the 2nd region da2 is formed at the whole region of left region la by control unit 2.That is, as shown in figure 8, control Portion 2 processed arrange in the whole region of the side that keeps left compared with the central part t of the left and right directions y1 of the 1st region da1 accept hand-written defeated The region entering.In addition, as shown in figure 8, control unit 2 forms the 2nd region da2 in left region la, and in the 2nd region da2, Display is set as the handwriting tm of input in the 1st region da1 in handwriting input region before picture conversion by user.Thus, For the handwriting tm of display in the 2nd region da2 after picture is changed, user can apply point, line etc. and be inputted.When Carried out by user point, line etc. addition inputs when, control unit 2 extracts the candidate character based on addition inputs, and will extract Candidate character be shown to the 3rd region da3.

On the other hand, judge into maximum x coordinate in step sb5 and be more than or equal to (step in the case of regional center x coordinate Sb5: no), control unit 2 executes following process (step sb7).Additionally, maximum x coordinate is more than or equal to regional center x coordinate anticipating Taste, and is enter into the center phase of at least a portion of handwriting in the 1st region da1 and the left and right directions of the 1st region da1 Than the state positioned at right side.

In step sb7, control unit 2 judges whether the width of the left and right directions of handwriting is less than and is set to the 2nd area The width of the left and right directions of left region la of domain da2.The width of the left and right directions of handwriting is less than and is set to the 2nd region The width of the left and right directions of left region la of da2 is it is meant that the size of handwriting is the size that can be contained in left region la.

Hereinafter, by regulation coordinate system region ka in launch handwriting data md minimum point (x coordinate and Y-coordinate be minima point) x coordinate be referred to as " minimum x coordinate ".

In step sb7, control unit 2 calculates expansion in the region ka of the coordinate system of regulation by following calculating formula The width in the x-axis direction of the outer rim of handwriting data md.Calculating formula: (maximum x coordinate)-(minimum x coordinate).Handwriting number Width according to the x-axis direction of the outer rim of md is corresponding with the width of the left and right directions of handwriting.In the example of fig. 6, hand-written literary composition The width in the x-axis direction of the outer rim of digital data md is (xmax-xmin).Then, control unit 2, in the ka of region, calculates and left area The width in the x-axis direction in the corresponding region of domain la.As the width in the x-axis direction in region corresponding with left region la, control unit 2 Calculate region ka the width in x-axis direction 1/2.The width in the x-axis direction in region corresponding with left region la, corresponding to a left side The width of the left and right directions of region la.In the example of fig. 6, the width in the x-axis direction in region corresponding with left region la is (xp/2).Then, the width in x-axis direction of the outer rim to hand-written lteral data md for the control unit 2 and area corresponding with left region la The width in the x-axis direction in domain is compared.The width in the x-axis direction of the outer rim in handwriting data md for the control unit 2 be less than with In the case of the width in x-axis direction in the corresponding region of left region la, the width judging into the left and right directions of handwriting is less than The width of the left and right directions of left region la.On the other hand, the width in the x-axis direction of the outer rim in handwriting data md for the control unit 2 In the case that degree is more than or equal to the width in x-axis direction in region corresponding with left region la, judge into the right and left of handwriting To width be more than or equal to left region la left and right directions width.

Step sb7 judges into handwriting left and right directions width be less than left region la left and right directions width In the case of (step sb7: yes), the handwriting inputting and being shown in the 1st region da1 do not change its size ground by control unit 2 Move in left region la, and be shown in left region la (step sb8).When carrying out the process of step sb8, control unit 2 exists In left region la and it is received in the range of display in handwriting, so that handwriting is centrally located at close to left area as much as possible The position at the center of domain la.Thereby, it is possible to become the shape that handwriting balance is shown in the central part of left region la well State.

Then, control unit 2 makes processing sequence shift to step sb6.In step sb6, control unit 2 shape in left region la Become to accept the 2nd region da2 of handwriting input, right region ra forms the 3rd region da3 of display candidate character.In left region In la, show the handwriting being moved position by the process of step sb8, right region ra shows candidate's literary composition Word (with reference to Fig. 8).

On the other hand, the width judging into the left and right directions of handwriting in step sb7 is more than or equal to left region la's In the case of the width of left and right directions (step sb7: no), control unit 2 is so that input and be shown in the hand-written literary composition of the 1st region da1 The size of word becomes the mode of the size being accommodated in left region la, reduces the size of handwriting, by the handss after reducing Write character motion in left region la, and be shown in left region la (step sb9).When carrying out the process of step sb9, Control unit 2 is received the scope of display in left region la and in handwriting, so that handwriting is centrally located at as much as possible Position close to the center of left region la.

Then, control unit 2 makes processing sequence shift to step sb6.In step sb6, control unit 2 shape in left region la Become to accept the 2nd region da2 of handwriting input, right region ra forms the 3rd region da3 of display candidate character.In left region In la, show the handwriting being moved position after the process by step sb9 is reduced, aobvious in right region ra It is shown with candidate character (with reference to Fig. 8).

Then, the process of execution after the process of step sb4 is described.

After the process performing step sb4, whether control unit 2 judges minimum x coordinate more than regional center x coordinate (step Rapid sb10).

Minimum x coordinate is more than regional center x coordinate it is meant that the whole area of the handwriting being input in the 1st region da1 Domain positioned at right side, is that the whole region of handwriting is contained in right region ra compared with the center of the left and right directions of the 1st region da1 Interior state.

In the case that minimum x coordinate is more than regional center x coordinate (step sb10: yes), control unit 2 maintains display Go out the state of the handwriting being imported in the 1st region da1, formed in right region ra and accept the 2nd of handwriting input Region da2, forms the 3rd region da3 (step sb11) of display candidate character in left region la.Thus, right region ra becomes The region of input handwriting can be continued for user, left region la becomes display candidate corresponding with the handwriting being inputted The region of word.

Fig. 9 is to represent to be inputted the whole region as the handwriting tm of of handwriting to the 1st by user The central part t of the left and right directions y1 of region da1 compare on the right side in the case of display picture hg figure.In the case of being somebody's turn to do, with regard to Handwriting data md corresponding with handwriting tm, minimum x coordinate is more than regional center x coordinate.As shown in figure 9, in the 1st area In the da1 of domain, as handwriting tm by user input " day ".

Figure 10 be represent by Fig. 9 illustrate in the way of have input handwriting tm in the case of, the process of execution step sb11, Form the 2nd region da2 accepting handwriting input in right region ra, left region la forms the 3rd area of display candidate character The figure of the situation of domain da3.

As shown in FIG. 9 and 10, in the central authorities of the left and right directions y1 of whole region and the 1st region da1 of handwriting tm Portion t compares in the case of being inputted on the right side, in the right region ra being set to the 2nd region da2, is maintaining position and size In the state of show the handwriting tm that user is inputted.

On the other hand, judge into (step in the case that minimum x coordinate is less than or equal to regional center x coordinate in step sb10 Rapid sb10: no), control unit 2 executes following process (step sb12).Additionally, minimum x coordinate is less than or equal to regional center x sitting Mark is it is meant that at least a portion of handwriting of being enter in the 1st region da1 and the left and right directions of the 1st region da1 The heart compares the state positioned at left side.

In step sb12, control unit 2 judges whether the width of the left and right directions of handwriting is less than and is set to the 2nd area The width of the left and right directions of right region ra of domain da2.Control unit 2 is to carry out execution step sb12 with above-mentioned sb7 identical method Process.

In the case of the width judging into the left and right directions that the width of left and right directions of handwriting is less than right region ra (step sb7: yes), the handwriting inputting and being shown in the 1st region da1 is not changed its size ground region to the right by control unit 2 Move in ra, and be shown in right region ra (step sb13).When carrying out the process of step sb13, control unit 2 is in right region It is received in ra and in handwriting the scope of display, so that handwriting is centrally located in right region ra as much as possible The position of the heart.Thereby, it is possible to become the state that handwriting balance is shown in the central part of right region ra well.

Then, control unit 2 makes processing sequence shift to step sb11.In step sb11, control unit 2 is in right region ra Form the 2nd region da2 accepting handwriting input, left region la forms the 3rd region da3 of display candidate character.In You Qu Show the process by step sb13 in the ra of domain and handwriting that position moves, right region ra shows candidate's literary composition Word (with reference to Figure 10).

On the other hand, the width judging into the left and right directions of handwriting in step sb12 is more than or equal to right region ra's In the case of the width of left and right directions (step sb12: no), control unit 2 is so that input and be shown in the hand-written literary composition of the 1st region da1 The size of word becomes the mode of the size being accommodated in right region ra, and handwriting is reduced, the hand-written literary composition after reducing Word moves in right region ra, and is shown in right region ra (step sb14).When carrying out the process of step sb14, control unit 2 scopes being received display in right region ra and in handwriting, make handwriting be centrally located at close to the right side as much as possible The position at the center of region ra.

Then, control unit 2 makes processing sequence shift to step sb11.In step sb11, control unit 2 is in right region ra Form the 2nd region da2 accepting handwriting input, left region la forms the 3rd region da3 of display candidate character.In You Qu The handwriting being moved position by the process of step sb14 after reducing is shown in the ra of domain, aobvious in left region la It is shown with candidate character (with reference to Figure 10).

Here, after performing region setting processing, one of candidate character shown by as selection the 3rd region da3 During candidate character, control unit 2 eliminates shown handwriting tm in the 2nd region da2, and also eliminates the 3rd area with this elimination Shown candidate character in the da3 of domain.

The feelings that Figure 11 is shown in and is set with the 2nd region da2 in left region la, is set with the 3rd region da3 in right region ra Display picture hg under condition.In fig. 11, as shown handwriting tm in the 2nd region da2 exemplified with " day ".When by When user have selected some in the candidate character k1～k8 shown by the 3rd region da3, display picture is changed by control unit 2 Become display picture hg shown in Figure 12.

Here, have selected the situation of candidate character k1 in display picture hg of Figure 11 exemplified with user.

When user selects candidate character k1 in display picture hg of Figure 11, display picture is converted into figure by control unit 2 12 display picture hg.That is, control unit 2 eliminates shown handwriting tm in the 2nd region da2, eliminates with this elimination Candidate character k1～k8.Then, control unit 2 inputs " day " as selected candidate character k1 in the a1 of region.

Like this, after the selection carrying out candidate character, control unit 2 eliminates and is accepting the 2nd region da2 of handwriting input Interior shown handwriting tm and shown candidate character in the 3rd region da3 of display candidate character.Then, control Portion 2 inputs selected candidate character in the a1 of region.The 2nd region that control unit 2 sets in the position based on handwriting In da2, then accept the later input of the 2nd word realized by handwriting input.That is, user for the 2nd word with Input afterwards, the 2nd region da2 setting for the handwriting based on the 1st word is carried out.Therefore, user passes through input The handwriting of the 1st word is it becomes possible to show the display picture setting the 2nd region da2 in the region be suitable to customer location Hg, can input word or the text line of destination etc. in this display picture hg by handwriting input.

For example, it is located at right side, co-pilot seat positioned at left side in the driver's seat of the left and right directions y1 with respect to the 1st region da1 In the case of, driver is in the central part t with the left and right directions y1 of the 1st region da1 of the whole region located at display picture hg Compare the position input handwriting kept right, thus, it is possible to be located at right region ra's in the 2nd region da2 accepting handwriting input Input word or text line in display picture hg.That is, driver can in the position near away from driver be set with accept hand-written In display picture hg in region of input, the input of word or text line is carried out based on handwriting input.In addition, co-pilot seat person Defeated in the position keeping left compared with the central part t of the left and right directions y1 of the 1st region da1 of the whole region located at display picture hg Enter handwriting, input thus, it is possible to be located in the 2nd region da2 accepting handwriting input in display picture hg of left region la Word and text line.That is, co-pilot seat person can be in being set with the area accepting handwriting input in the position near away from co-pilot seat person In display picture hg in domain, the input of word or text line is carried out based on handwriting input.

Additionally, display picture hg can also be configured to, by the user in display picture hg of Figure 11 to candidate character Select, and be converted into display picture hg of Figure 13.

I.e., as shown in figure 13, when have selected candidate character by user, display picture hg is converted into hand-written by being set to Display picture hg in the whole region of display picture hg for the 1st region da1 of input area.Now, display picture hg tool The candidate character being allowed a choice inputted by control unit 2 in the state of region a2.This region a2 is equivalent to input pin to purpose The word of title on ground etc. or the input area of text line.In fig. 13, selected candidate is inputted to region a2 from control unit 2 Word k1 is " day ".

Thus, control unit 2, in the case of the selection carrying out candidate character, is converted into be set to handwriting input area Display picture hg in the whole region of display picture hg for the 1st region da1 in domain.Therefore, user is after to the 2nd word Word start based on handwriting input input when it is not necessary to confirm handwriting input region position.

As described above, control unit 2 is located at compared with the central part t of the left and right directions y1 of the 1st region da1 in handwriting tm In the case of the position keeping left, the 2nd region da2 accepting handwriting input is set in left region la, by display candidate character 3rd region da3 is set in right region ra.In addition, control unit 2 is in the left and right directions y1 of handwriting tm and the 1st region da1 Centre portion t compares in the case of being located at the position kept right, and the 2nd region da2 accepting handwriting input is set in right region ra, will show Show that the 3rd region da3 of candidate character is set in left region la.

It is located in the vehicle in left side positioned at the right side of display picture hg, co-pilot seat in driver's seat, preferably lead in driver When crossing handwriting input to input word or text line, handwriting input region is located at right region ra.This is in order near away from driver Position set handwriting input region.When handwriting is with the left and right directions y1's of the 1st region da1 as handwriting input region Central part t compares when inputting with being kept right, and the 2nd region da2 accepting handwriting input is set in right region ra by control unit 2.Cause This, input handwriting with keeping right by driver with respect to the center of display picture hg, can be by the display picture of touch panel 3 Face hg is formed as high display picture hg of ease of use for driver.

In addition, in the case that driver's seat is located at left side positioned at the right side of display picture hg, co-pilot seat, preferably copilot When inputting word or text line by handwriting input, handwriting input region is set in left region la to seat person.This is to incite somebody to action Handwriting input region is located at the position near away from co-pilot seat person.As handwriting and the 1st region da1 as handwriting input region The central part t of left and right directions y1 compare when inputting with being kept left, the 2nd region da2 that control unit 2 will accept handwriting input sets In left region la.Therefore, handwriting is inputted with keeping left with respect to the center of display picture hg by co-pilot seat person it becomes possible to Display picture hg of touch panel 3 is formed as high display picture hg of ease of use for co-pilot seat person.

In addition, control unit 2 is when user carries out handwriting input, the 1st region da1 being set to handwriting input region is set Whole region in display picture hg.Thus, user does not need to confirm the position in handwriting input region when starting handwriting input.
