Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide character modified information with a simple operation and to improve the character input effect for the operator, by inputting the modified information such as the size of outputted character and under line and selecting the character modification information column provided under each character in advance. CONSTITUTION:The coordinate information of characters inputted on a tablet 1 is inputted to a character recognition section 2, the information sequentially inputted is recognized and inputted to a character processing editing section 4. The modified information of the modified information area provided under the tablet 1 is selected at a character modified information recognizing section 3 and the modified information is inputted to the section 4, where the characters are processed and edited with a signal from a keyboard 7 via a keyboard controller 6 while processing the character code into a desired form based on the internal code outputted from the sections 2, 3. The character modification information column provided in advance under each character is selected and inputted to provide the character modification information with a simple operation, allowing to improve the character input effect for the operator.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a character processing device that recognizes handwritten characters online.

Conventionally, in this type of device, when creating and editing a sentence by recognizing handwritten characters, it is necessary to input modification information at the same time as inputting characters, such as information indicating instructions to convert to uppercase letters or to convert to kanakana. However, the character input key and the modification information key are located far apart, and the range of motion of the operator's hand is wide, which places a heavy burden on the operator.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a character processing device that eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks and has a character modification information selection field immediately below each character, and allows character modification information to be selected from the selection field as necessary. It is in.

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which 1 is a tablet on which characters and character modification information are written by an operator, and is touched by a touch pen. Outputs the position on the tablet as a coordinate signal. Reference numeral 2 denotes a character recognition unit, which forms a character image based on the coordinate signals input with the tablet 1, and converts the input character image into an internal code such as a JIS code.

3 is a character modification information recognition unit which recognizes the coordinate position of the character modification information input on the tablet 1 and converts it into an internal code. 4 is a character processing editing department, character wt111 part 2
Based on the internal code outputted from the character modification information recognition section 3, the characters are processed into a desired form, and the characters are processed and edited by signals from the keyboard 7 via the keyboard controller 6. 5 is a character output control unit, which converts the character hoods and character modification codes of sentences edited and created in the character processing editing unit 4 again as character images and sends them to the CRT 8. A document 9 for determining the character input format on the tablet 1 is shown, and as shown in detail in FIG. 3, it is divided into a character area 10 and character modification information 11 for each square. Here is character modification information area 11! The figure shows the case of division.

Here, "anti" displays the character in white, "ryu" adds an underline below the character, "pu" makes the character blink, and "han" displays the character Display in
"Double" means that the character is displayed in full width.

Operation of the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above In this embodiment, in the character area 10 on the document of the tablet 1,
When the operator writes characters with the touch pen, tablet 1
sequentially outputs the coordinate signals for the characters to the character Bli section 2. Next, when one of the 1 modification information areas 11 is selected, for example, by filling it in or by marking it with a circle, its coordinate signal is output to the character modification information li1 recognition unit 3. Character recognition section 2
Based on the coordinate signals outputted to the character modification information wtWI 4 section 3, characters are recognized or modification information is recited by a feature extraction method or a pattern matching method. If it is a character, the character recognition unit 2 converts it into an internal code, for example /4-bit JIB code abbreviation, and if it is modification information, the selection field of the character modification information recognition unit 3 is converted to, for example! The data is converted into a bit internal hood and outputted to the character processing/editing section 4 as one bit of information. Now, from keyboard 7 to /K in advance, 3θ
If you instruct the character to output X characters per line, the character processing editing section 4 arranges the input text information in that format, and also performs text creation such as customary = prohibition processing and typo correction. After performing the necessary processing, the character output control unit 5
Output to. In the character output control section 5, the character processing editing section 4
The format of the desired character is read out from the character generator by conventional means, e.g., based on the character code and the associated modification code (1 full width character, half width character, reverse character, printer) Outputs characters, etc. in a pre-specified format.

As shown in Figure 1, by handwriting ``nroIf - Japan's population as of July 1st'' on tablet 1 and selecting the desired modification for each character, the result will be as shown in Figure J. output on a CRT g.

As explained above, according to the present invention, when characters are input by hand and the text is output on a CRT or in the form of a hard copy, the size of the characters to be output and the modification information of the underline cape can be used. The character modification information field provided below each character is selected and inputted, making it possible to add character modification information with a simple operation, improving the character input efficiency of the operator. Operation errors can also be reduced.
