10. A display method in an apparatus for recognizing and displaying handwritten characters and figures, said apparatus including input means for reading input stroke information as to a character and a figure each inputted by handwriting, recognition means for carrying out character/figure recognition on the basis of the feature of the input stroke information, and display means having a display screen for displaying the input stroke information and the result of recognition, said display method comprising the steps of:
-
performing recognition processing in said recognition means each time said recognition means receives input stroke information from said input means so as to recognize a character or a figure; displaying on the display screen of said display means the input stroke information received by said recognition means; storing information as to the number of strokes which have been used for the recognition processing; and erasing only the stroke information which has been used in said recognition processing to achieve recognition of a character or figure from the display screen of said display means on the basis of said stored information when said recognition means has recognized a character or figure, and displaying the character or figure which is the result of recognition as well as stroke information which is being used for the next recognition processing on said display screen. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)
