摘要

A method (20) for performing recognition of a scribed indicia on a touch screen (5) of an electronic device (1), the method (20) comprising receiving (22) a scribed indicia scribed on the touch screen (5), the touch screen (5) at least comprising a character scribing area (31) and a punctuation scribing area (32). A step 23 for determining a proportion of the scribed indicia scribed in the character punctuation scribing area (32) relative to the character scribing area (31) is then conducted and the punctuation mark recognition (26) is performed. Recognition (26) is performed on the scribed indicia when the proportion exceeds a threshold value, the performing punctuation mark recognition determining from a set of punctuation marks at least one candidate punctuation mark resembling the scribed indicia.
