Abstract
A pen or stylus-operated graphical user interface for a computer or computing device, which includes a sensing surface having an area corresponding to a data input field, the data input field being conditioned for hand entering and editing of graphical input symbols, and handwriting recognition software operative to analyze the graphical input symbols and superimposing a display field of character data corresponding to the graphical input symbols on the data input field.
Claims16
A pen or stylus operable system for a computer, comprising:
- (a) a graphical user interface coupled to said computer and having a sensing surface said sensing surface having an area corresponding to a data input field, said sensing surface controlled by said graphical user interface and having means for hand entering and editing of graphical input symbols;
- (c) handwriting recognition software on said computer operative to analyze said graphical input symbols one after another without interruption or delay and to automatically superimpose on and replace said graphical input symbols with a display field of character data corresponding to said graphical input symbols on said data input field.
Apparatus for combining data entry of handwritten symbols with displayed character data in a pen or stylus-operable graphical user interface for a computer or computing device, comprising:
- (a) means for recording and displaying handwritten graphical input symbols as they are entered on a data input field of a display surface;
- and
- (b) user recognition software for analyzing said graphical input symbols one after another continuously without interruption or delay and automatically superimposing on and retlacing said graphical input symbols with display field character data corresponding to said graphical input symbols.
