The generation unit generates recognition candidate character strings based on shapes of strokes and combinations of the shapes. The selection unit calculates reliability values for the recognition candidate character strings and selects search keys from the recognition candidate character strings. The search unit searches a database for second character strings including the search keys, and obtains one or more result character strings indicating search results of each of the search keys. The display displays the one or more result character strings corresponding to each of the search keys distinctively. | 06-07-2012 |
20120189205 | HANDWRITING DETERMINATION APPARATUS AND METHOD AND PROGRAM - A handwriting apparatus has unit for acquiring first-handwriting data, storage unit for storing one-stroke-handwriting data and a first command as an instruction. The instruction corresponds to the one-stroke-handwriting data. When the first-handwriting data corresponds to the one stroke, a unit executes the first command when the corresponding first command is searched from the storage unit, a unit stores one-stroke-handwriting data and a second command as an instruction that corresponds to the one-stroke-handwriting data. The second command is different from the first command, and searches the storage unit for the second command corresponding to the one-stroke-handwriting data. There is a unit, when the corresponding second command is searched out from the storage unit, to execute the corresponding second command. | 07-26-2012 |
20120251005 | CHARACTER STRING INPUT DEVICE AND RECORDING MEDIUM - According to one embodiment, there is provided a character string input device. The device includes an input processing unit, a character string storage unit, an input prediction control unit, and an input prediction unit. The input processing unit inputs a character string with a character or a special code. The character string storage unit receives the character string with the character or the special code, adds the character to a stored character string, or updates the stored character string by the special code. The input prediction control unit controls a timing of extracting and sending at least part of the stored character string from the character string storage unit. The input prediction unit performs input prediction for the at least part of the stored character string output from the input prediction control unit and outputs a predicted character string. | 10-04-2012 |
