DEVICE AND METHOD FOR INPUTTING CHARACTER, AND INFORMATION RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device and method suitable for inputting characters by using an electronic pen having a ball sensor. SOLUTION: The information of a moving locus detected by the ball sensor of the electronic pen is received and stored into an RAM (S801). Whether the change of the information of the moving locus is within a prescribed error range (there is no change) during a prescribed character segmenting time is checked (S802). When the information of the moving locus has not changed during the character segmenting time (S802; Yes), the information of the moving locus stored in the RAM until that time is compared with single-stroke writing template (S803), and whether any matched template is present is checked (S804). When there is one matched template (S804: one match), a character corresponding to the template is outputted (S805), and the processing of recognition completion for one character is operated (S806). This processing is repeated.
