Abstract
The present invention provides an apparatus and method for inputting characters, which allow various characters to be inputted to a multimedia device. The character input apparatus preferably includes a user manipulation unit for generating one or more stroke signals and/or one or more arc signals, and a character detection unit for detecting one or more characters using the stroke signals and/or the arc signals. The stroke signals and/or the arc signals are signals corresponding to strokes and/or arcs constituting respective characters, and the characters are data about the characters including the strokes and/or the arcs corresponding to the stroke signals and/or the arc signals.
Claims15
