APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING HANDWRITING INPUT
First Claim
1. An apparatus for processing handwriting input comprising:
- a touch display screen configured for detecting touched positions on the touch display screen when the touch display screen is in a word inputting mode;
a display control unit;
a touch analyzing unit configured for determining coordinates of each of the detected touched positions; and
a processing unit comprising;
a coordinate receiving module configured for receiving the coordinates determined by the touch analyzing unit;
a handwriting recognizing module configured for recognizing letters handwritten by a user;
a word inputting box determining module configured for controlling displaying a word inputting box on the touch display screen for allowing the user to handwrite the letters therein;
a boundary determining module configured for determining whether the coordinates of each touched position are on a predetermined boundary of the word inputting box;
a prompting display module configured for controlling displaying a prompt including a first operating point on the touch display screen if the coordinates of one touched position are on the predetermined boundary of the word inputting box; and
a handwriting display module configured for determining whether the first operating point is touched, and reducing a size of the handwritten letters and controlling the display control unit to display the handwritten letters with the reduced size in a display box displayed on the touch display screen, erasing the handwritten letters in the word inputting box to allow the user to handwrite addition letters, reducing a size of the handwritten additional letters, and controlling the display control unit to display the additional letters with the reduced size in the display box at the end of the handwritten letters.

Abstract
An apparatus for processing handwriting on a touch screen includes a touch display screen, a display control unit, a touch analyzing unit, and a processing unit. The touch analyzing unit determines coordinates of touches. The processing unit generates a prompt including a first operating point when touch coordinates are on the boundary of a word inputting box. When the coordinates of a touch position are on the first operating point, the processing unit reduces a size of a handwritten letters and displays the handwritten letters with reduced size, reduces the additional handwritten letters, and displays the additional handwritten letters with the reduced size in the display box at the end of the handwritten letters. A related method is also provided.

8. A method for processing handwriting input through a touch display screen, the method comprising:
-
displaying a word inputting box on the touch display screen for allowing a user to handwrite a group of letters within the word inputting box, the size of the word inputting box being smaller than that of the touch display screen; determining coordinates of each of touched positions of the handwriting of the letters on the touch display screen; determining whether the coordinates of each touch position are on a predetermined boundary of the word inputting box; displaying a prompt including a first operating point on the touch display screen if the coordinates of one touch position is on the predetermined boundary of the word inputting box; detecting whether the displayed first operating point is touched; reducing a size of the handwritten letters, and displaying the handwritten letters with the reduced size in a display box on the touch display screen if the displayed first operating point is touched; and detecting the user'"'"'s handwriting of additional letters in the word inputting box after the handwritten letters with the reduced size is displayed in the display box; reducing a size of the handwritten additional letters, and displaying the handwritten additional letters with the reduced size in the display box immediately following the handwritten letters. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
