Process and apparatus involving pattern recognition.

摘要

Processing of handwritten patterns, for example, inputting of complex characters, such as Kanji, into a word processor involves a balance between an algorithmic part and a non-algorithmic part. Application of routines uniformly during the algorithmic part deliberately results in confusion sets of characters which are subsequently differentiated during the non-algorithmic part. Balance between the two parts permits a flexibility to accomodate differences in writing styles, while application of routines customized to the established character patterns permits the unique solution necessary for accurate recognition of a character.
