Abstract

According to an embodiment, a device includes a first updating controller, a converter, a second updating controller, and a display controller. The first updating controller is configured to, when a graphic pattern similar to a partial stroke made of pairs of first coordinates is not present, update values of pairs of second coordinates with values of the corresponding pairs of first coordinates. The converter is configured to, when the graphic pattern is present, convert the pairs of first coordinates constituting the partial stroke into pairs of converted coordinates constituting the graphic pattern. The second updating controller is configured to, when the graphic pattern is present, update values of the pairs of second coordinates corresponding to the partial stroke to values of the pairs of converted coordinates of the pairs of first coordinates. The display controller is configured to display the display stroke based on the pairs of second coordinates.

Dependent claims

A stroke processing device comprising:

a procurement controller configured to obtain a pair of first coordinates of an input stroke;
storage configured to store the pair of first coordinates and a pair of second coordinates of a display stroke used for displaying in association with the pair of first coordinates every time the procurement controller obtains the pair of first coordinates;
a controller configured to obtain a first number of pairs of first coordinates previously stored in reverse chronological order from the storage every time the procurement controller obtains the pair of first coordinates, and determine whether or not there exists a graphic pattern similar to a partial stroke made of two or more pairs of first coordinates comprising the pair of first coordinates obtained by the procurement controller and at least one pair of first coordinates from among the first number of pairs of first coordinates;
a first updating controller configured to, when the graphic pattern is not present, update values of second pairs of second coordinates associated with the first number of pairs of first coordinates with values of first pairs of first coordinates associated with the second pairs of second coordinates, and store, in the storage, the pair of first coordinates obtained by the procurement controller and the pair of second coordinates having a value of the pair of first coordinates;
a converter configured to, when the graphic pattern is present, convert the two or more pairs of first coordinates constituting the partial stroke into two or more pairs of converted coordinates constituting the graphic pattern;
a second updating controller configured to, when the graphic pattern is present, update values of the second pairs of second coordinates associated with the first pairs of first coordinates, from among the first number of pairs of first coordinates, constituting the partial stroke to values of third pairs of converted coordinates of the first pairs of first coordinates associated with the second pairs of second coordinates, and store, in the storage, the pair of first coordinates obtained by the procurement controller and the pair of second coordinates having a value of pair of converted coordinates;
and
a display controller configured to display, on a display, the display stroke based on the second pairs of second coordinates stored in the storage.
