Abstract
Abstract An apparatus for recognizing handwritten trace and inputting document information is disclosed which comprises trace means (7) for inputting handwritten characters, coordinate information detection means (21) for detecting locus information provided by said trace means (7) as coordinate information, a display (8; 22) superposed on said detection means (21) for allowing an image displayed thereon to be recognized through said detection means (21), M character display frames (82) to which said handwritten characters are successively input and in which results of recognition of the locus information are displayed substantially in a cyclic manner, a logical character frame (83) disposed in the vicinity of said character display frame (82) for temporarily displaying N (N> M) characters cyclically input from said character display frames (82), a writing page portion (80) to which characters displayed in said logical character frame (83) are finally transferred to be displayed thereon, and an operating portion (81) provided within said logical character frame (83) to be operated when M characters out of the characters, N in number at its maximum, displayed in said logical character frame (83) are to be displayed in said character display frames (82).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
188 words
An apparatus for recognizing handwritten trace and inputting document information comprising: trace means (6) for inputting handwritten characters; coordinate information detection means (21) for detecting locus information provided by said trace means (6) as coordinate information; a display (8; 22) superposed on said detection means (21) for allowing an image displayed thereon to be recognized through said detection means (21); M character display frames (82) to which said handwritten characters are successively input and in which results of recognition of the locus information are displayed substantially in a cyclic manner; a logical character frame (83) disposed in the vicinity of said character display frame (82) for temporarily displaying N (N > M) characters cyclically input from said character display frames (82); a writing page portion (80) to which characters displayed in said logical character frame (83) are finally transferred to be displayed thereon; and an operating portion (81) provided within said logical character frame (83) to be operated when M characters out of the characters, N in number at its maximum, displayed in said logical character frame (83) are to be displayed in said character display frames (82).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
80 words
An apparatus for recognizing handwritten trace and inputting document information according to claim 1, wherein the cyclic operation while characters are being input in said M character display frames (82) in succession is performed such that, when a character is started to be input to the frame (82) at the rear end, the character already input in the frame (82) at the front end disappears and this frame assumes a standby state ready for the inputting of the next character.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
64 words
An apparatus for recognizing handwritten trace and inputting document information according to claim 1 or 2, wherein said character display frames (82), logical character frame (83), writing page portion (80), and operating portion (81) are displayed on said display (8; 22), and wherein said character display frames (82) are controlled by operating said coordinate detection means (21) for corresponding position through said operating portion.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
79 words
An apparatus for recognizing handwritten trace and inputting document information according to anyone of claims 1 to 3, wherein said operating portion (80) is comprised of a region of said coordinate detection means (21) corresponding to said logical character frame (83), and it is thereby adapted such that, when a character displayed in said logical character frame (83) is specified, characters designated thereby are transferred to said character display frames (82) so that edition of the same becomes possible.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
81 words
An apparatus for recognizing handwritten trace and inputting document information according to claim 1, wherein said operating portion (81) is comprised of a region of said coordinate detection means (21) corresponding to direction designating buttons (83b, 83c) provided within said logical character frame (83), and it is thereby adapted such that, when one of said direction designating buttons (83b, 83c) is operated, characters designated thereby are transferred to said character display frames (82) so that edition of the same becomes possible.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
158 words
An apparatus for recognizing handwritten trace and inputting document information comprising: trace means (6) for inputting handwritten characters; coordinate information detection means (21) for detecting locus information provided by said trace means (6) as coordinate information; a display (8; 22) superposed on said detection means (21) for allowing an image displayed thereon to be recognized through said detection means (21); a plurality of character display frames (82) to which said handwritten characters are successively input and in which results of recognition of the locus information are displayed substantially in a cyclic manner; a logical character frame (83) for successively displaying characters cyclically input from said character display frames (82); and an operating portion (81) provided within said logical character frame (83) to be operated when M characters out of the characters, N in number at its maximum, displayed in said logical character frame (83) are to be displayed in a normalized state in said character display frames (82).
Claim 7
Independent Claim
136 words
An apparatus for recognizing handwritten trace and inputting document information comprising: trace means (7) for inputting handwritten characters; coordinate information detection means (21) for detecting locus information provided by said trace means (7) as coordinate information; a display (8; 22) superposed on said detection means (21) for allowing an image displayed thereon to be recognized through said detection means (21); a plurality of character display frames (82) to which the handwritten characters are successively input and in which results of recognition of the locus information are displayed substantially in a cyclic manner; and control means (81) for controlling said handwritten characters to be cyclically input to said character display frames (82) and causing a predetermined mark (31) to be displayed in said character display frame (82) when inputting of a handwritten character is to be inhibited.
