JPS59114683A - Input device for handwritten character - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate an input of handwritten characters by providing a function which selects characters at an interface part with input of handwritten KANA (Japanese syllabary) letters to display them at a word processor and then ensures the coincidence between the input and ouput characters when no corresponding characters exist. CONSTITUTION:A simple pattern 4, such as KATAKANA (square form of Japanese syllabary), numeric characters, alphabet latters, etc., which is supplied from a pattern input device 1 is converted into the corresponding characters among those registered at an interface part 2. These converted characters are supplied to a word processor 3. If no corresponding characters exist among those registered ones, a recording element is operated to obtain the coincidence between the input and output characters through a special function. Thus it is possible even for a beginner to supply easily the handwritten characters with a simple input device.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] In recent years, Japanese word processors have been developed into Japanese typewriters.
It is about to become widely used instead of .

It is predicted that such word processors will become popular as military writing tools for everyone in offices, including the general public who are not proficient in typing. To be so versatile! One of the important conditions is the input method for the word processor. The most traditional method is the keyboard input method on a typewriter, and there are English and Japanese layouts. A touch pen method is also used.

However, these methods have the disadvantage that it takes time to become proficient. Word processors that use voice input have recently become commercially available. This method does not require any special input proficiency, but since spoken and written words are used, it is important to be able to compose well.

Therefore, the inventor thought that if he created a word processor that uses handwritten character input, it would be the easiest input method to use.
I am happy to say that there are no problems with the other methods mentioned above.

Since touch pen-type graphics input devices are already commercially available at low cost, there is no technical basis for input using this method. However, if you try to input all handwritten kanji, katakana, hiragana, alphanumeric characters, etc., it would be a large-scale system, which is not a good idea since there are 8 different handwritten characters. It is also not a good idea to input many characters at once. Furthermore, as a method with a small difference in accuracy, the simplest method is to limit the characters to katakana, numbers, and alphabets, and provide an interface for character determination between these characters.

That is, as the interface 2, the graphic input device 1
INN, which converts the graphical signals sent from the computer into corresponding characters and inputs them into the computer, and the characters 4 written by hand.
It must include a function that allows the recording element to be grafted to match the input character and output character when the character does not match a character previously registered in the interface as a standard handwriting character.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

The drawing shows one embodiment of the present invention, and the characters written on the handwritten character input 111 show one specific example. 1- Handwritten character input device 2- Interface 3- Word processor

Claims (1)

[Claims] In a document processing system consisting of a handwritten character input device 1, an interface 2, and a word processor 3, the interface 2 is an electrical signal in the form of an electrical signal that can input the same character corresponding to the character 4 inputted from the handwritten character input device 1 into the word processor 3. and a record of registering the font so that the input character and the output character match when the character 4 input from the handwritten character input 1111 is not a character in the font registered in advance in the interface 2. A document processing system comprising a function capable of sweeping an element.
