Abstract

For displaying corrected logogram input, code detects a difference between the logogram input and a logogram recognized from the logogram input. The code further displays the corrected logogram input in response to the difference.

Claims

1. An apparatus comprising:

a graphical input that accepts a logogram input;

a display that displays the logogram input;

a processor;

a memory that stores code executable by the processor to;

receive the logogram input;

display a candidate list of candidate logograms based on the logogram input;

receive a logogram selection from the candidate list;

detect a difference between the logogram input and the logogram selection; and

display a corrected logogram input and a label that identifies a correction type on the display in response to the difference, wherein the corrected logogram input is a needed logogram input that generates the selected logogram as a candidate logogram in the candidate list with a resemblance score that exceeds a resemblance threshold stored in a resemblance profile.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the code is further executable by the processor to recognize the logogram from the logogram input.

3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the logogram input comprises a phonetic representation of the logogram and the corrected logogram input comprises a corrected phonetic representation.

4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the logogram input comprises a logogram radical of the logogram and the corrected logogram input comprises a corrected logogram radical.

5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein detecting the difference between the logogram input and the logogram radical comprises:

calculating the resemblance score for the logogram input and one or more potential logograms; and

identifying the logogram from one of the resemblance score for the logogram exceeding a resemblance threshold and selecting the logogram from the candidate list, wherein each candidate logogram has a resemblance score for the candidate logogram that exceeds the candidate threshold.

6. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the corrected logogram radical comprises strokes.

7. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein the corrected logogram radical comprises strokes in a stroke order.

8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the logogram input comprises strokes and the corrected logogram input comprises strokes in a stroke order for the logogram.

9. A method comprising:

receiving, by use of a processor, a logogram input;

displaying a candidate list of candidate logograms based on the logogram input;

receiving a logogram selection from the candidate list;

detecting a difference between the logogram input and the logogram selection; and

displaying a corrected logogram input and a label that identifies a correction type in response to the difference, wherein the corrected logogram input is a needed logogram input that generates the selected logogram as a candidate logogram in the candidate list with a resemblance score that exceeds a resemblance threshold stored in a resemblance profile.

10. The method of claim 9, the method further comprising recognizing the logogram from the logogram input.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein the logogram input comprises a phonetic representation of the logogram and the corrected logogram input comprises a corrected phonetic representation.

12. The method of claim 9, wherein the logogram input comprises a logogram radical of the logogram and the corrected logogram input comprises a corrected logogram radical.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein detecting the difference between the logogram input and the logogram radical comprises:

calculating the resemblance score for the logogram input and one or more potential logograms; and

identifying the logogram from one of the resemblance score for the logogram exceeding a resemblance threshold and selecting the logogram from the candidate list, wherein each candidate logogram has a resemblance score for the candidate logogram that exceeds the candidate threshold.

14. The method of claim 12, wherein the corrected logogram radical comprises strokes.

15. The method of claim 12, wherein the corrected logogram radical comprises strokes in a stroke order.

16. The method of claim 9, wherein the logogram input comprises strokes and the corrected logogram input comprises strokes in a stroke order for the logogram.

17. A program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium that stores code executable by a processor, the executable code comprising code to perform:

receiving a logogram input;

displaying a candidate list of candidate logograms based on the logogram input;

receiving a logogram selection from the candidate list;

detecting a difference between the logogram input and the logogram selection; and

displaying a corrected logogram input in response to the difference, wherein the corrected logogram input is a needed logogram input that generates the selected logogram as a candidate logogram in the candidate list with a resemblance score that exceeds a resemblance threshold stored in a resemblance profile.

18. The program product of claim 17, the processor further performing recognizing the logogram from the logogram input.

19. The program product of claim 17, wherein the logogram input comprises a phonetic representation of the logogram and the corrected logogram input comprises a corrected phonetic representation.

20. The program product of claim 17, wherein the logogram input comprises a logogram radical of the logogram and the corrected logogram input comprises a corrected logogram radical.
