Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To carry on a smooth handwrite input operation with no discontinuation by shifting automatically a handwritten character input function to a handwrite user dictionary production function when the handwritten characters under recognition are rejected due to wrong recognition by frequencies more than a set frequency level. SOLUTION: A display means 102 can switch and display a handwritten character input screen and a handwrite user dictionary production screen. A written character input means 103 inputs the handwritten characters via a handwritten character input screen, and a recognition means 104 recognizes the inputted handwritten characters. Then a rejection frequency storage means 105 counts the rejection frequency of every handwritten character that is not recognized and rejected. A rejection frequency decision means 106 decides whether the rejection frequency is higher than a set level. When the rejection frequency is higher than the set level, a handwrite user dictionary production shift means 107 outputs an instruction to the means 102 to switch a handwritten character input screen to a handwrite user dictionary production screen. Thus, a handwrite user dictionary production function is automatically set.

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, in information processing equipment such as Japanese word processors, personal computers, and portable electronic notebooks, handwritten character patterns are input using a handwritten pen / tablet, and the handwritten character patterns are subjected to pattern matching, etc. Is equipped with a character processing device for recognizing a predetermined character. However, in the conventional character processing device, when not only alphanumeric characters but also many Japanese characters such as hiragana, katakana, and kanji are recognized, the recognition rate may be reduced, resulting in erroneous recognition, or the processing speed may be reduced. .

Various methods have been studied to improve the recognition rate of handwritten character patterns. One of them is to register the handwritten character patterns created by the user and the corresponding registered character patterns in the handwritten user dictionary. Thus, a technique is known in which an individual's writing habit or unreadable characters can be recognized to improve the recognition rate.
For example, in JP-A-1-321552, by storing and managing handwritten character information that is input and recognized in advance, character information that is frequently used is immediately converted into document information by a simple operation and edited. A possible character processor is shown.

In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-166677, handwriting having a learning function of character recognition for handwriting is created by creating a user character recognition dictionary from input handwritten characters (handwriting data) and creating a database. A character recognizer is shown. Further, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-279965 discloses a pattern recognition device capable of performing pattern recognition using a neural network and performing relearning in consideration of the habit of a writer. Further, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No.
Japanese Patent No. 145789 discloses a handwriting input device with a user dictionary registration function that allows a user to register an individual pattern and preferentially output the recognition result.

[0005]

However, the above-mentioned JP-A-1-321552, JP-A-3-166677,
In each of Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 4-279965, in order to register a character pattern of a user, the input work is temporarily terminated,
Since the user registration must be performed after switching the input mode to the user dictionary creation mode, there is a possibility that natural input work may be disturbed and the operability is poor.

Further, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-145789, the user dictionary is uniquely and preferentially output in the recognition result, and learning is automatically performed by changing the recognition candidate. However, there is a drawback that the pattern is registered in the user dictionary even though the pattern intended by the user is not written, and the pattern registered by the user increases and the operability is poor. In addition, there is a problem that the capacity of the user dictionary increases.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances. For example, when unrecognizable handwritten characters are generated during handwriting input more than a preset number of times, the handwriting user dictionary creation function is automatically activated to allow the user To provide a handwritten character processing device which realizes a smooth operation without stopping the input work and shortens the editing and input time by configuring the handwritten character dictionary to be registered together with the registered character as a character.

Another object of the present invention is to automatically shift to a handwriting user dictionary creation function when a recognition candidate recognized during handwriting input is changed a preset number of times or more, and to a handwriting user dictionary together with registered characters as user characters. A handwritten character processing device that realizes a smooth operation without stopping the input work by being configured to register and leads to a reduction in editing and input time.
