Device for inputting characters by handwriting
First Claim
1. A device for inputting characters by handwriting in which trace coordinate data of a character is extracted by a character extracting section from trace coordinate data from an input section laminated on a display panel, the extracted character being recognized by a character recognizing section to thereby display on the display panel a trace of a handwriting input based on the trace coordinate data and the recognized character by a display control section, comprising:
- a character input frame information generating section which generates character input frame information for displaying a character input frame representing a handwriting input area in accordance with an initial input position on the display panel where the trace of the handwriting has been inputted and stores the information into a first storage section,the display control section displaying on the display panel the trace of the handwriting input and the recognized character as well as the character input frame with the initial input position displayed within the character input frame on the display panel used as a reference position based on the character input frame information stored in said first storage section.

Abstract
A character input frame is displayed in a popping-up manner and erased automatically in a position in which an operator desires to effect a handwriting input. A character input frame information generating section generates character input frame information based on coordinate input position information from a coordinate input section, and stores the information in a first storage section. A character recognizing section recognizes a character extracted by a character extracting section, and stores character code data of the result of recognition into a second storage section. A display control section displays in a popping-up manner the character input frame from an initial input position on a display panel based on the character input frame information from the first storage section. The character input frame information generating section erases storage contents of the first storage section based on recognition completion information from the character recognizing section. The character input frame is automatically erased when the character recognition is completed. During operation, the character input frame is composed of a mere frame where its cells are internally transparent, so that a printing type is not hidden behind the frame.

2. A device for inputting characters by handwriting in which trace coordinate data of a character is extracted by a character extracting section from trace coordinate data from an input section laminated on a display panel, a height of a trace of the extracted character being normalized by a trace coordinate data normalizing section to thereby display on the display panel a trace of a handwriting input based on the trace coordinate data and the normalized trace by a display control section, comprising:
-
a character input frame information generating section which generates character input frame information for displaying a character input frame representing a handwriting input area in accordance with an initial input position on the display panel where the trace of the handwriting has been inputted and stores the information into a first storage section, the display control section displaying on the display panel the trace of the handwriting input and the normalized trace as well as the character input frame with the initial input position displayed within the character input frame on the display panel used as a reference position based on the character input frame information stored in said first storage section. - View Dependent Claims (4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22)
