Abstract

According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes an input controller and a processor. The input controller is configured to receive stroke data. The processor is configured to, when a first stroke data and a second stroke data input after the first stroke data at least partially overlap with each other, edit the first stroke data by using the second stroke data.

Claims

1. An electronic device comprising:

an input controller configured to receive first stroke data corresponding to a first stroke and to receive second stroke data corresponding to a second stroke after the first stroke data; and

a processor configured to, if the first stroke and the second stroke at least partially overlap with each other, edit the first stroke data by using the second stroke data.

2. The electronic device of claim 1, further comprising a recognition result display controller configured to, when the first stroke data is edited by the processor, display a character recognition result based on the edited stroke data.

3. The electronic device of claim 2, wherein the recognition result display controller displays the character recognition result based on the second stroke data, not on the first stroke data.

4. The electronic device of claim 3, wherein the recognition result display controller displays the character recognition result based on a third stroke data obtained by connecting the first stroke and the second stroke.

5. The electronic device of claim 1, further comprising a stroke display controller configured to display a first locus corresponding to the stroke data received by the input controller, and wherein the stroke display controller is configured to, when the processor edits the first stroke data, display a second locus corresponding to the edited stroke data.

6. An information processing method, comprising:

receiving by an electronic device stroke data; and

editing, if first stroke data and second stroke data received after the first stroke data at least partially overlap with each other, the first stroke data by using the second stroke data.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program which is executable by a computer, the computer program comprising instructions capable of causing the computer to execute functions of:

receiving a stroke data; and

editing, if first stroke data and second stroke data received after the first stroke data at least partially overlap with each other, the first stroke data by using the second stroke data.
