APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR INPUTTING WRITING INFORMATION ACCORDING TO WRITING PATTERN
First Claim
1. A handwriting inputting apparatus comprising:
- a position measuring unit which measures a position of an object by which a user inputs handwriting to generate coordinate information;
a pattern DB which stores handwriting pressure pattern information which is defined in advance; and
a pressure information generating unit which generates virtual handwriting pressure corresponding to the coordinate information according to the handwriting pressure pattern information by using the coordinate information.

Abstract
Provided are a method and apparatus for inputting handwriting in a digital electronic apparatus. Various patterns defining methods of generating pressure information according to handwriting input are stored in advance, and a user selects a pattern similar to a pattern of the user or selects a desired handwriting pattern to perform the handwriting, so that pressure information is generated according to the handwriting pattern and the handwriting is displaying with a thickness corresponding to the pressure information. Therefore, it is possible to solve a problem of monotonous handwriting input in the related art where only the position is input and the handwriting is output with the same thickness.
