JPH0391019A - Hand-written editing command input system - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To save a lot of time and trouble by giving the same number of strokes to all editing commands and judging the end of editing command input at the time of input of strokes to recognize the editing command. CONSTITUTION:The same number of strokes is given to hand written editing commands, and the number of strokes is counted by a stroke number counting part 15B at the time of input to a stroke input part 15A. This number of strokes is compared with the preliliminarily determined number of strokes stored in a command stroke number information storage part 15D by a stroke number comparing part 15C; and when they coincide with each other, the hand-written editing command is automatically recognized. That is, though a user does not instruct the end of input for recognition after inputting the hand-written editing command, this command is automatically recognized at the time of input of the determined number of strokes. Thus, this system saves a lot of time and trouble to input the hand-written editing command.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] The present invention relates to a handwritten editing command input method in a handwritten editing device that creates and edits documents by inputting editing commands and characters by hand. The purpose is to provide a handwritten editing command input method that does not take much time, and includes a stroke input section for inputting editing commands, a stroke count section for counting the number of strokes of input editing commands, and a predetermined editing command. Stores the number of strokes.
a command stroke number information storage section; a stroke number comparison section that compares the number of strokes in the stroke number counting section and the command stroke number information storage section; It is configured to recognize the editing command when it determines that the command input has finished.

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a handwritten editing command input method in a handwritten editing device that creates and edits documents by inputting editing commands and characters by hand.

In recent years, handwritten editing devices have attracted attention as document editing devices for amateurs because they can edit documents without using a keyboard or performing complicated operations unlike word processors.

In such a handwriting editing device, the number of strokes of the handwritten editing command to be input differs depending on the function of the command, so after inputting the handwriting editing command, the user has to instruct the handwriting editing command recognition unit to perform recognition. had to do it.

For this reason, there has been a problem in that it takes time and effort to input editing commands. Therefore, there is a need for a handwritten editing command input method that does not require much effort or time to input editing commands.

[Prior Art] As a conventional handwritten editing command input method, there is one shown in FIG. 5, for example.

In FIG. 5, reference numeral 1 indicates a handwritten editing command input section of the handwriting editing device, and the handwriting editing command input section 1 has a stroke input section 2, an input end instruction section 3, and an input end instruction detection section 4.

After inputting a handwritten editing command from a stroke input section 2, the user issues an input end instruction from an input end instruction section 3 in order to have the inputted handwritten editing command recognized by a handwritten editing command recognition section 5. The input end instruction detection section 4 detects an input end instruction and outputs a detection signal to the handwritten editing command recognition section 5. The handwritten edit command recognition unit 5 recognizes the handwritten edit command from the stroke input unit 2 based on this detection signal.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in such a conventional handwritten editing command input method, since the number of strokes of each handwritten editing command is different, the user has to perform recognition after inputting the handwritten editing command. Therefore, there is a problem in that inputting handwritten editing commands is laborious and time consuming.

The present invention has been made in view of these conventional problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a handwritten editing command input method that does not require time and effort to input handwritten editing commands. The purpose is

[Means to solve the problem] FIG. 1 is a diagram explaining the principle of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, 15A is a stroke input section for inputting an editing command, 15B is a stroke count section for counting the number of strokes of an input editing command, and 15D is a command stroke number information storage for storing the number of strokes of a predetermined editing command. Section 15C is a stroke number comparing section that compares the stroke number counting section 15B and the command stroke number information storage section 15D.

[Operation] If you input the same number of strokes in the handwritten editing command to the stroke input section, the number of strokes will be counted in the stroke count section. This number of strokes is compared with a predetermined number of strokes stored in the command stroke number information storage section in a stroke number comparison section, and if the number of strokes matches, the handwritten editing command is automatically recognized.

That is, after the user inputs a handwritten editing command, the input is automatically recognized when a predetermined number of strokes have been input, even if the user does not have to instruct the input to end for recognition.

As a result, inputting handwritten editing commands does not require much effort or time.

[Example code] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

FIGS. 2 to 4 are diagrams showing one embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 2, 11 is a document data input section for inputting document data, and 12 is a document data storage section for storing the document data inputted by the document data input section 11. Also,
13 is a handwritten character input unit for inputting handwritten characters, and 14 is a handwritten character recognition unit for recognizing handwritten characters input by the handwritten character input unit 13.

Further, 15 is a handwritten edit command input section for inputting handwritten edit commands, and 16 is a handwritten edit command input section 15.
This is a handwritten editing command recognition unit that recognizes handwritten editing commands input in .

Reference numeral 17 denotes a text editing section, and the text editing section 17 processes the document data stored in the document data storage section 12 and the handwritten character recognition section 1.
The text is edited using the handwritten characters recognized in step 4 and the handwritten editing command recognized by the handwritten editing command recognition unit 16. 18 is a display section such as a display, and the display section 18 displays the text edited by the text editing section 17.

Here, the handwritten editing command input section 15 includes a stroke input section 15A1 a stroke number counter (stroke number counting section) 1
5B, a stroke number comparison section 15C, and a command stroke number information storage section 150.

The user inputs a handwritten editing command from the stroke input section 15A. FIG. 3 shows an example of a symbol in which the handwritten editing commands to be input are unified to the number of strokes.

Functions of handwritten editing commands include insertion, deletion, copying, and movement. - The symbols and writing style of the handwritten image editing command are as shown in FIG.

The stroke number counter 15B counts the number of strokes of the handwritten editing command input from the stroke input section 15A. The command stroke number information storage section 15D stores the number of strokes of a predetermined handwritten editing command. When the number of strokes of the handwritten editing command is unified to one stroke, "1" is stored as the command stroke number information in the command stroke number information storage section 15D.

The stroke number comparison section 15C compares the number of strokes in the stroke number counter 15B and the number of strokes in the command stroke number information storage section 15D. If the number of strokes in the stroke number counter 15B is less than the number of strokes in the command stroke number information storage section 15D, an e-stroke is further inputted,
Stroke number of stroke counter 15B and command stroke number information storage unit 1
When the number of 5D strokes matches, the handwritten editing command recognition unit 1
A control signal is sent to 6.

In addition, only when the number of strokes of the handwritten editing command is unified to one stroke, as a convenience, 15B, 15C, 1 in Figure 2
It is also possible to omit 5D.

Next, the operation will be explained.

The symbols for handwritten editing commands are - as shown in Figure 3.
An example of a case where the number of strokes is unified will be explained.

When one stroke of a handwritten editing command is input in the stroke input section 15A, the number of strokes is counted by the stroke number counter 15B. The number of strokes of the stroke counter 15B is compared with a predetermined number of strokes stored in the command stroke number information storage section 15D, that is, the number of - strokes, in the stroke number comparison section 15C, and in this example, the number of strokes matches with the input of one stroke. Therefore, a control signal is sent to the handwritten editing command recognition H16.

The handwritten edit command recognition unit 16 recognizes the handwritten edit command from the stroke input unit 15A based on the control signal.

Next, an example where the handwritten editing command is movement will be explained based on FIG. 4.

This is an example of moving the sentence ``The back is purplish,'' among the sentences shown in FIG. 4, between ``...dark green,'' and ``The tail is...''.

First, write the handwritten editing command symbol "[", which specifies the beginning of the character string you want to move, using a tablet, etc. When the pen is raised after writing, this handwritten editing command is automatically recognized by the handwriting editing command recognition unit 16, and the next input is awaited (see FIG. 4).

Next, use a tuplet to write the handwritten editing command symbol "]" that specifies the end of the character string you want to move. When the pen is raised after writing, this handwritten editing command is automatically recognized by the handwriting editing command recognition unit 16, and the next input is awaited (see Figure 4, ■).

Next, the symbol “■” for the handwritten editing command that specifies the move destination.
” with a tuplet or the like. When the pen is raised after writing, this handwritten editing command is automatically recognized by the handwritten editing command recognition unit 16 (see Fig. 4, ■).
. Thus, the sentence ``His back is purplish,'' becomes ``...
・Dark green," and "The tail is..." is moved.

If a handwritten editing command with the same number of strokes is input as described above, the specified handwritten editing command will be automatically recognized without the user having to take the trouble of giving an instruction to end the input for recognition. Therefore, inputting handwritten editing commands does not require much effort or time.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, if a handwritten editing command with the same number of strokes determined in advance is input, the user does not have to give an instruction to end the input in order to have it recognized. Even handwritten editing commands are automatically recognized.

As a result, inputting handwritten editing commands does not require much effort or time.
