METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING CONTENT WRITTEN IN AN APPLICATION FORM USING AN E-PEN

摘要

The invention provides a method (400) and an apparatus (204) for processing content written in an application form. Stroke data corresponding to content written in fields of an application form is obtained from an e-pen (202, 402). Then, words corresponding to the written content are extracted from the stroke data (410) and confidence value is assigned to each of the words with respect to each of fields in the template application form (412). Each of the words corresponding to the written content is mapped to one of the fields in a template application form based on the confidence value assigned to each of the words (306, 414). A tag is assigned to each of the words indicating a mapping between each of the words and one of the fields (416). The words along with the assigned tags are stored in a storage unit (206, 418).
