System, Method, and Apparatus for Continuous Character Recognition

摘要

A technique for continuously recognizing a character entry into a computer. In one example embodiment, this is achieved by drawing a character in a continuous stroke order using a stylus [ 210 ] on touch screen [ 220 ]. As associated data of the drawn continuous stroke order is then inputted into a continuous character recognizer [ 930 ] via the touch screen [ 220 ]. One or more hypothesis candidate characters including the continuous stroke order are then produced by the continuous character recognizer [ 930 ] upon a partial recognition. The produced one or more hypothesis candidate characters are then displayed substantially over the drawn continuous stroke order on a display device [ 230].
