A creating means for creating an output pattern from the handwritten character pattern read by the successive outputting means, and an outputting means for outputting the output pattern created by the creating means.

(Operation) This invention inputs a handwritten character pattern, stores the inputted handwritten character pattern in a storage means in correspondence with a character code, and instructs display of handwritten characters on a calendar, clock, etc. At this time, a handwritten character pattern corresponding to a code indicating the displayed content is read from the storage means, an output pattern is created using the read handwritten character pattern, and this created output pattern is output. It is.

(Embodiment "A") Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 shows a schematic configuration of an electronic notebook as an electronic device of the present invention. That is, there is a key for inputting the settings of the type, an input section 2 serving as an input means composed of a touch sensor or the like for inputting handwritten character patterns, and a memory for storing the handwritten character patterns inputted by this input section 2. In addition, there is a storage section 3 as a storage means that stores preset printed character patterns and is composed of, for example, RAM%ROM, and a calendar and a clock created using the character patterns read from this storage section 3. Displaying the display pattern, reading out handwritten or printed character patterns stored in the display section (output means) 4 comprising, for example, a liquid crystal display section and the storage section 3,
It is composed of a control section (processing means) 1 composed of a CPU or the like, which performs a process of creating a display pattern for a calendar or a clock.

The storage unit 3 has a handwritten character pattern storage area 3a and a printed character pattern storage area 3b, and the handwritten character pattern storage area 3a stores handwritten character patterns and codes in correspondence, In the printed character pattern storage area 3a, printed character patterns and codes are recorded in correspondence.

Next, in such a configuration, FIG. 1 (Jl) (b)
Explain the operation while referring to the flowchart shown in “
. That is, the input unit 2 sets the handwritten character creation mode. Then, the control unit 1 causes the display unit 3 to display “1”.
Please enter the following information.'' In response to this guidance, handwritten characters are input by the input unit 2. After the control unit 1 normalizes the character pattern of the handwritten character input by the input unit 2, it is stored in the handwritten character pattern storage area 3a of the storage unit 3 in correspondence with the code “1”.

Next, the control unit 1 causes the display unit 3 to issue a message, “Please input 2.” In response to this suggestion, the input unit 2 inputs handwritten characters.

After the control unit 1 normalizes (sizes) the character pattern of the handwritten characters input by the input unit 2, it is stored in the handwritten character pattern storage area 3a of the storage unit 3 in correspondence with the code “2”. Ru.

Thereafter, the character patterns "3" to "9" and rOJ are input in the same manner as described above, and are stored in the handwritten character pattern storage area 3a of the storage unit 3 in correspondence with the respective codes.

Further, the input unit 2 instructs to display a calendar using handwritten characters. Then, the control unit 1 reads each handwritten character pattern “1, to 9, 0” from the handwritten character pattern storage area 3a of the storage unit 3 in correspondence with the numerical code for calendar display, and displays the calendar. A display pattern is created. Then, the calendar display pattern created by the control section 1 is displayed on the display section 4, as shown in FIG.

In this case, the display width of the character pattern differs between 1 digit and 2 digits, but this can be changed by making the character pattern display width thinner or thicker, for example by performing reduction (compression) processing or enlargement processing. Altered history processing is now performed.

Also, if you are instructed to display the calendar in text,
The storage unit 3 corresponds to the numerical code for displaying the calendar.
From the printed character pattern storage area 3b, "1, to 9,
0'' are read out and a calendar display pattern is created. Then, the control section 1
The display pattern of the calendar created by is displayed on the display section 4.

Also, when the input unit 2 instructs to display a clock using handwritten characters, processing is performed in the same manner as in the case of the calendar display, and the handwritten characters stored in the storage unit 3 are processed in the same manner as the calendar display. The required handwritten character pattern "1, to 9, 0" is read out from the pattern storage area 3a, and a display pattern of hour:1, that is, the time, is created, and a clock display, that is, a time display based on the handwritten character pattern is displayed on the display section. It is done in 4.

As described above, the handwritten character pattern of numbers is input, and the input handwritten character pattern is stored in the handwritten pattern storage area of the storage unit in correspondence with the character code, and the handwritten character pattern of numbers on calendars, clocks, etc. When handwritten display is instructed, the handwritten character pattern corresponding to the code indicating the display content is read from the handwritten character pattern storage area, a display pattern is created with the read handwritten character pattern, and the display pattern is The displayed display pattern is displayed on the display section.

As a result, when displaying numbers such as a calendar display or a clock display, it is possible to provide a display with individuality, and it is possible to provide a display with a sense of warmth or familiarity.

In the above embodiment, a case was explained in which a touch sensor was used to input a handwritten character pattern.
Alternatively, a method of drawing directly on the tablet surface may be used. Alternatively, character patterns such as 6 masters may be input from an external storage unit.

Also, although we have explained how to specify an input sequence as a method for matching codes, this is not limited to this.
This may be done by recognizing the input character pattern through character recognition.

Further, the handwritten character pattern may be stored in the handwritten character pattern storage area in advance at the time of manufacturing or when the device is issued.
