Abstract
According to one embodiment, a character input device includes a touch panel and a control unit. The touch panel detects contact with respect to a surface thereof. The control unit performs, when detection of contact is started on the touch panel, character recognition processing based on a trajectory connecting each position at which the contact is detected. The control unit displays, when a character is recognized by the character recognition processing, a virtual keyboard on a display surface of the touch panel to receive input of a character from the virtual keyboard.
Claims11
A character input device comprising:
- a touch panel for detecting contact with respect to a surface thereof;
- and
- a control unit for performing, when detection of contact is started on the touch panel, character recognition processing based on a trajectory connecting each position at which the contact is detected, and for displaying, when a character is recognized by the character recognition processing, a virtual keyboard on a display surface of the touch panel to receive input of a character from the virtual keyboard.
A character input method performed by a character input device including a touch panel for detecting contact with respect to a surface thereof, the character input method comprising:
- performing, when detection of contact is started on the touch panel, character recognition processing by a control unit included in the character input device based on a trajectory connecting each position at which the contact is detected;
- and
- displaying, when a character is recognized by the character recognition processing, a virtual keyboard on a display surface of the touch panel to receive input of a character from the virtual keyboard by the control unit.
