COMPUTER INPUT USING HAND DRAWN SYMBOLS
First Claim
1. A device comprising:
- a storage device;
a processor coupled to the storage device, wherein the processor receives instructions from the storage device for execution by the processor to;
identify a hand drawn symbol using a symbol library stored in the storage device, wherein the hand drawn symbol has at least one element, the hand drawn symbol corresponding to a predefined symbol that is defined in the symbol library, the predefined symbol having at least one predefined element and at least one associated predefined symbol topology structure specified in the symbol library.

Abstract
According to one example embodiment there is disclosed a system having a touch sensitive component responsive to a pen-based input includes a memory or storage device storing a symbol library defining at least one symbol representative of at least one logograph, pictograph or ideogram, the symbol library information specifying a topology structure defining sub-regions that symbol elements can appear in the at least one logograph, pictograph or ideogram, and a processor operatively connected to the touch sensitive component and the memory or storage device and operative to execute program instructions to interpret hand drawn indicia to identify at least one symbol based on recognizing at least one symbol element and its respective position in a sub-region.
