ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING WRITING INPUT THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18160512 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND METHOD FOR PROCESSING WRITING INPUT THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device that includes a display and an input sensing circuit capable of acquiring handwriting input. The device also has at least one processor that uses the input sensing circuit to recognize written characters inputted through the display. The processor determines the slope of the recognized characters and horizontally aligns them. The display is controlled to overlap and display the recognized and aligned characters.

  • The electronic device has a display and an input sensing circuit.
  • The input sensing circuit can acquire handwriting input through the display.
  • The processor recognizes the written characters inputted through the display.
  • The processor determines the slope of the recognized characters.
  • The processor horizontally aligns the recognized characters based on the determined slope.
  • The display is controlled to overlap and display the recognized and aligned characters.

Potential Applications

  • Note-taking devices with improved handwriting recognition and alignment.
  • Electronic devices for artists and designers to digitize their hand-drawn sketches.
  • Educational tools for handwriting practice and improvement.
  • Assistive technology for individuals with motor impairments to input text.

Problems Solved

  • Difficulty in accurately recognizing and aligning handwritten characters on electronic devices.
  • Inefficient manual alignment of handwritten characters for digital processing.
  • Limited options for individuals with motor impairments to input text.

Benefits

  • Improved accuracy in recognizing and aligning handwritten characters.
  • Enhanced usability and convenience for users.
  • Increased accessibility for individuals with motor impairments.
  • Efficient digitization of hand-drawn content.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display, an input sensing circuit capable of acquiring a handwriting input inputted through the display, and at least one processor electrically connected to the display and the input sensing circuit, wherein the at least one processor uses the input sensing circuit to recognize written characters generated by means of the handwriting input inputted through the display, determines the slope of the recognized written characters, horizontally aligns the recognized written characters on the basis of the determined slope, and controls the display so that the recognized written characters and the horizontally aligned written characters are overlapped and displayed.
