Electronic device and method for manufacturing the same
First Claim
1. An electronic device comprising:
- a display capable of detecting a stroke made on the display and displaying the stroke;
a memory that stores different handwriting; and
a hardware processor configured to;
detect a first stroke made on the display;
display the first stroke on the display;
search the handwriting in the memory for a first handwriting candidate and a second handwriting candidate in response to a detection of the first stroke, wherein both a part of the first handwriting candidate and a part of the second handwriting candidate match with the first stroke;
select the second handwriting candidate, if a first character string of the first handwriting candidate and a second character string of the second handwriting candidate are the same and an input size of the second handwriting candidate is bigger than an input size of the first handwriting candidate; and
display the second handwriting candidate on the display,wherein the hardware processor is configured to furthersearch the handwriting in the memory for a third handwriting candidate and a fourth handwriting candidate in response to a detection of the first stroke, wherein both a part of the third handwriting candidate and a part of the fourth handwriting candidate match with the first stroke;
select the fourth handwriting candidate, if a third character string of the third handwriting candidate and a fourth character string of the fourth handwriting candidate are the same, an input size of the third handwriting candidate is equal to an input size of the fourth handwriting candidate, and a number of coordinates for displaying the fourth handwriting candidate is larger than a number of coordinates for displaying the third handwriting candidate; and
display the fourth handwriting candidate on the display.

Abstract
According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry displays one or more first strokes input by handwriting on a screen, and executes, in response to input of the one or more first strokes, processing for displaying a second stroke group selected from stroke groups which are input candidates searched by using the one or more first strokes on the screen, the stroke groups including the second stroke group and another stroke group, the second stroke group and the another stroke group corresponding to a first character string. A value in any one of a size, a number of coordinates for displaying, and a length of time for inputting, of to the second stroke group is bigger than that of the another stroke group.
