- at least one storage device that stores at least one first recognition dictionary having information pertaining to at least one second arrangement of constituent dots making up at least one second character of at least one second display font and at least one second character size; and
at least one character recognition unit that searches the at least one first recognition dictionary and identifies the at least one first character by performing at least one first comparison to determine whether the at least one first recognition dictionary contains at least one third character for which information pertaining to at least one third arrangement of constituent dots making up the at least one third character is a perfect match for the at least one first arrangement of constituent dots making up the at least one first character displayed at the at least one display.

Abstract
A character recognition system for recognizing character(s) displayed on display(s) of computer(s). In one embodiment, memory device(s) store recognition dictionaries, and there may be a separate recognition dictionary for each display font and character size combination. Such a recognition dictionary may contain information pertaining to arrangement of constituent dots making up each character of a corresponding display font and character size. A character recognition unit may identify target character(s) displayed on display(s) by searching such recognition dictionary or dictionaries and extracting therefrom character(s) for which information pertaining to arrangement of constituent dots making up extracted character(s) is a perfect match for target character(s) displayed on display(s).

17. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing at least one character recognition program for causing at least one first character, of at least one first display font and at least one first character size and having at least one first arrangement of constituent dots making up the at least one first character, displayed on at least one display to be recognized by at least one computer, the at least one character recognition program causing the at least one computer to carry out:
-
recognition dictionary creation in which at least one first recognition dictionary is created which has information pertaining to at least one second arrangement of constituent dots making up at least one second character of at least one second display font and at least one second character size; and character recognition in which the at least one first recognition dictionary is searched, and the at least one first character is identified by performing at least one first comparison to determine whether the at least one first recognition dictionary contains at least one third character for which information pertaining to at least one third arrangement of constituent dots making up the at least one third character is a perfect match for the at least one first arrangement of constituent dots making up the at least one first character displayed at the at least one display. - View Dependent Claims (18)
