( Reference form)
Hereinafter, a reference form of the handwritten information recognition apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, the handwritten information recognition device 1 of Embodiment is roughly, a display device 2 such as a liquid crystal display device is formed by a control unit 3.

  The display device 2 includes a display unit 5 having a display screen, and an operation screen for a user to input characters as information by handwriting is displayed on the display unit 5. This operation screen is created by the CPU 9 described later.

  In addition, the display device 2 includes a pressure-sensitive or electrostatic touch panel 6 that is stacked on the display screen of the display unit 5. The user can input a desired character by hand with his / her finger in the area where the operation screen described above is displayed on the touch panel 6.

  Further, the display device 2 includes a coordinate acquisition unit 7 electrically connected to the touch panel 6. The coordinate acquisition unit 7 is on the touch panel 6 on which handwriting input is performed at every predetermined sampling period. Are obtained, and the obtained coordinates are output as coordinate data to the control unit 3 side.

  On the other hand, the control unit 3 includes a CPU 9 connected to the coordinate acquisition unit 7, and the coordinate data output from the coordinate acquisition unit 7 is input to the CPU 9. The CPU 9 controls the coordinate acquisition by the coordinate acquisition unit 7 every predetermined sampling period.

  Based on the coordinate data input from the coordinate acquisition unit 7 side, the CPU 9 inputs the drawing data of the image connecting the previous and subsequent coordinate points in the moving direction of the handwriting input with a straight line, and the input of the coordinate data from the coordinate acquisition unit 7 side. Along with this, the drawing data is sequentially generated, and the generated drawing data is sequentially output.

  A video RAM (VRAM 10) is connected to the output side of the CPU 9, and drawing data output from the CPU 9 is input to the VRAM 10 and temporarily stored therein.

  A display processing unit 11 is connected to the VRAM 10, and the display processing unit 11 sequentially reads the drawing data stored in the VRAM 10 and outputs it to the display unit 5.

  As a result, on the display screen of the display unit 5, the straight line image connecting the coordinate points described above as the drawing data image is displayed so as to be sequentially added as the handwriting input proceeds. It has become.

  When handwriting input is performed under an appropriate operation (how to draw a trajectory, handwriting input speed, etc.), a single character is formed by a plurality of straight line images displayed so as to be added sequentially. Will be.

  Further, a character recognition unit 12 as a character recognition engine is connected to the CPU 9, and coordinate data for one character is input to the character recognition unit 12 by the CPU 9.

  A character recognition dictionary memory 14 is connected to the character recognition unit 12, and character codes corresponding to various characters and their characteristic patterns are stored in the character recognition dictionary memory 14.

  The character recognition unit 12 refers to the character recognition dictionary memory 14 to search for a character that approximates a pattern formed by the coordinate data for one character input from the CPU 9, and sets the character code of the corresponding character to the character recognition dictionary. By reading from the memory 14, the handwritten input character is recognized.

  Characters recognized by the character recognition unit 12 are captured by the CPU 9.

  Further, a document memory 15 is connected to the CPU 9, and characters captured by the CPU 9 from the character recognition unit 12 are stored in the document memory 15.

In addition to the basic structure for recognition of such a written text, further to the handwritten information recognition device 1 in the present reference embodiment, tighten if convenient and reliable adjustment of the handwriting input speed by a user, handwriting recognition Measures are taken to improve the rate.

That is, in this preferred embodiment, CPU 9 is to function as the input speed detection means is adapted to detect the handwritten input speed.

Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the CPU 9 sets the movement distances L _AB (T) to L _DE (T) of the coordinates A to E for each predetermined sampling period T when acquiring the above-described coordinates. Based on this, the handwriting input speed is detected.

In FIG. 2, the coordinate movement distance L _AB (T) from the coordinate A to the coordinate B in the predetermined sampling period T is the shortest. This means that the handwriting input speed between the coordinates AB is the slowest. I mean. The CPU 9 can detect the handwriting input speed between the coordinates AB (the lowest speed in FIG. 2) at the coordinates B.

On the other hand, in FIG. 2, the movement distance L _DE (T) of the coordinate from the coordinate D to the coordinate E in the predetermined sampling period T is the longest. This means that the handwriting input speed between the coordinates DE is the fastest. I mean. The CPU 9 can detect the handwriting input speed between the coordinates DE (the maximum speed in FIG. 2) at the coordinates E.

In this reference embodiment, the CPU 9 functions as a determination unit, and the handwriting input speed detected by the CPU 9 is an optimal handwriting input speed for recognizing a handwritten input character as a set speed (hereinafter referred to as an optimal input speed). It is determined whether or not it exceeds.

  This determination is performed based on whether or not the coordinate movement distance for each predetermined sampling period exceeds the coordinate movement distance at the optimum input speed as the predetermined distance (hereinafter referred to as the optimum coordinate movement distance). It has become.

For example, in FIG. 2, assuming that the handwriting input speed between the coordinates AB is the optimum input speed and the movement distance L _AB (T) between the coordinates AB is the optimum coordinate movement distance, the CPU 9 moves the movement distance L _AB ( It is determined that the handwriting input speed between the coordinates BC, the CD, and the DE having the movement distance of coordinates exceeding T) exceeds the optimum input speed.

  Then, the CPU 9 outputs a result of determination as to whether or not the handwriting input speed exceeds the optimum input speed (hereinafter referred to as input speed determination result).

Further, in the present reference embodiment, the output side of the CPU 9, is connected to the vibration control section 18 as the notification means, this vibration control unit 18, so that the input speed determination result output from the CPU 9 is input It has become.

  Further, a vibration generator 17 as a notification unit is connected to the output side of the vibration controller 18 inside the display device 2.

  When an input speed determination result indicating that the handwriting input speed exceeds the optimum input speed is input from the CPU 9, the vibration control unit 18 performs vibration control by energization control (switching from OFF to ON) with respect to the vibration generation unit 17. A vibration is generated in the generator 17. And the vibration which generate | occur | produced in this vibration generation part 17 is transmitted to the touch panel 6, and the touch panel 6 vibrates.

  In the example of FIG. 2, the touch panel 6 vibrates at each of the coordinates C, D, and E as the end coordinates of the handwriting input for each predetermined sampling period T made at a handwriting input speed exceeding the optimum input speed. Will do.

Therefore, in this reference form, when the handwriting input speed exceeds the optimum input speed, the user can be notified through the tactile sensation by the vibration of the touch panel 6, so that the user has the handwriting input speed too fast. Can be easily and reliably grasped.

  Thereby, even if it is difficult for the user to check the input progress of the handwriting input by hiding the display screen with fingers that operate the touch panel 6, the user can easily increase the handwriting input speed based on the presence or absence of vibration of the touch panel 6. Can be adjusted. As a result, the handwritten character recognition rate can be improved.

A more preferred not form state, CPU 9 is, with respect to the vibration control unit 18, not only the input speed determination result described above, the degree of excess of the moving distance of the coordinates for each predetermined sampling period for the optimum coordinate movement distance The indicated data (hereinafter referred to as excess data) is also output.

  Then, based on the excess data input from the CPU 9 side, the vibration control unit 18 causes the vibration generation unit 17 to generate as the degree of excess of the coordinate movement distance for each predetermined sampling period with respect to the optimum coordinate movement distance increases. The touch panel 6 is vibrated strongly by increasing the vibration.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 3 (see the left column and the center column) using the example of FIG. 2, touch panel 6 is simply used for handwriting input between coordinates BC, between CDs, and between DEs exceeding the optimum coordinate movement distance. In addition, the vibration generated at the end point coordinate E of the handwritten input between the coordinates DE having the longest coordinate moving distance in a predetermined sampling period is made strongest.

  On the other hand, the vibration generated at the end point coordinates C of the handwritten input between the coordinates BC with the shortest movement distance of the coordinates in a predetermined sampling period is made to be the weakest.

  As described above, when the intensity of vibration is changed in accordance with the degree of excess of the coordinate movement distance for each predetermined sampling period with respect to the optimum coordinate movement distance, the vibration is gradually increased as the degree of excess is increased. Alternatively, the vibration may increase stepwise as the degree of excess increases.

  In this way, as the handwriting input speed becomes too fast, the touch panel 6 can be vibrated more strongly. As a result, the user can more easily grasp the optimum input speed and adjust the handwriting input speed more appropriately. And the handwritten character recognition rate can be further improved.

  In addition, the right column in FIG. 3 has shown the handwritten character recognition rate corresponding to the handwritten input in each coordinate area shown in the left column. As shown in FIG. 3, the input result cannot be recognized for the handwritten input between the coordinates DE made at the handwritten input speed greatly exceeding the optimum input speed.

Furthermore, in this reference embodiment, the CPU 9, the VRAM 10, the display processing unit 11, and the display unit 5 function as notification means.

  That is, when the CPU 9 determines that the handwriting input speed exceeds the optimum input speed, the CPU 9 creates drawing data for a notification image that notifies the user of the fact. This notification image may be, for example, a warning text that warns that the handwriting input speed exceeds the optimum input speed.

  Then, the CPU 9 outputs drawing data of the created notification image to the VRAM 10 and temporarily stores it.

  The display processing unit 11 reads the drawing data of the notification image stored in the VRAM 10 and outputs it to the display unit 5.

  The display unit 5 displays the drawing data of the notification image output from the display processing unit 11 on the display screen.

Therefore, in this reference form, when the handwriting input speed exceeds the optimum input speed, it is possible to notify the user through the visual sense with the notification image, so that the user further indicates that the handwriting input speed is too high. It becomes possible to grasp with certainty.

  Note that if the notification image is displayed at a position different from the operation screen for handwriting input, it is not hidden by the finger of the user who performs handwriting input.

Furthermore, in this preferred embodiment, CPU 9, by the function as a notifying means, handwriting input speed to create a voice data notification sound that notifies the user that has exceeded the optimum input speed, and outputs the audio data generated It is like that.

  A voice processing unit 19 as a notification unit is connected to the output side of the CPU 9, and voice data of the notification voice output from the CPU 9 is input to the voice processing unit 19.

  The voice processing unit 19 synthesizes and outputs the voice data of the notification voice input from the CPU 9 side.

  A speaker 20 as a notification unit is connected to the output side of the audio processing unit 19, and the audio data output from the audio processing unit 19 is input to the speaker 20.

  The speaker 20 converts voice data input from the voice processing unit 19 side into notification voice and outputs it.

Therefore, in this reference form, when the handwriting input speed exceeds the optimum input speed, it is possible to notify the user through hearing through the notification voice. It becomes possible to grasp with certainty.

Next, a description will be given of the main action of this preferred embodiment.

In this reference embodiment, first, CPU 9 by outputting the VRAM10 create drawing data of the operation screen of the handwritten input, followed by the drawing data of the operation screen in the VRAM10 by the display processing unit 11 to the display unit 5 Nde read the By outputting, an operation screen for handwriting input is displayed on the display screen of the display unit 5.

  Next, when the user starts handwriting input on the touch panel 6 via the operation screen, the coordinate acquisition unit 7 connected to the touch panel 6 sequentially selects the coordinates on the touch panel 6 on which handwriting input is performed at every predetermined sampling period. The coordinate data of each coordinate is sequentially output to the CPU 9.

  Then, the CPU 9 calculates the movement distance of the coordinates for each predetermined sampling period based on the coordinate data from the coordinate acquisition unit 7, and detects the handwriting input speed for each predetermined sampling period based on the calculated movement distance. To do.

  The detection of the handwriting input speed is performed each time at the end point coordinates (see FIG. 2) of the handwriting input every predetermined sampling period.

  The CPU 9 calculates the handwriting input speed in the coordinate section between the end point coordinate and the start point coordinate (coordinate A when the end point coordinate is the coordinate B in FIG. 2) in the end point coordinates of the handwriting input for each predetermined sampling cycle. It is determined whether or not the optimum input speed is exceeded.

  This determination is made based on whether or not the coordinate movement distance for each predetermined sampling period exceeds the optimum coordinate movement distance.

  When the handwriting input speed exceeds the optimum input speed, the CPU 9 outputs an input speed determination result to that effect to the vibration control unit 18.

  In response to the input speed determination result, the vibration control unit 18 vibrates the touch panel 6 via the vibration generation unit 17 by performing energization control on the vibration generation unit 17.

  Thereby, the user can grasp | ascertain that the handwriting input speed is too fast through the tactile sense of the vibration which the fingertip in handwriting input receives.

  At this time, the CPU 9 creates drawing data for the notification image and outputs it to the VRAM 10, and the display processing unit 11 outputs the drawing data for the notification image in the VRAM 10 to the display unit 5.

  Thereby, a notification image is displayed on the display screen of the display unit 5, and the user can grasp through vision that the handwriting input speed is too fast.

  Further, at this time, the CPU 9 creates voice data of the notification voice and outputs it to the voice processing unit 19, and the voice processing unit 19 synthesizes the voice data output from the CPU 9 and outputs it to the speaker 20.

  Thereby, the notification sound is output as audio from the speaker 20, and the user can grasp through hearing that the handwriting input speed is too high.

  Thus, by grasping that the handwriting input speed is too fast, the user can adjust the handwriting input speed to a suitable speed (a speed not exceeding the optimum input speed).

(Implementation form)
Next, the implementation form of handwritten information recognition device 1 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

The handwritten information recognition apparatus 1 in this embodiment is different from the reference embodiment only in a specific method for detecting and determining the handwriting input speed by the CPU 9.

That is, as illustrated in FIG. 4, in the present embodiment, the CPU 9 detects the handwriting input speed based on the number of coordinates A to L acquired for each predetermined movement distance x of handwriting input. ing. Note that the coordinates are acquired at every predetermined sampling period as in the reference embodiment.

  In FIG. 4, the number of coordinates acquired between the coordinate A and the coordinate G that is separated from the coordinate A by a predetermined movement distance x is the largest. This indicates that the handwritten input is from the coordinate A to the coordinate G. This means that the handwriting input speed when moving to is the slowest. The CPU 9 can detect the handwriting input speed between the coordinates AG (the minimum speed in FIG. 4) at the coordinates G.

  On the other hand, in FIG. 4, the number of coordinates acquired between the coordinate J and the coordinate L that is separated from the coordinate J by a predetermined movement distance x is the smallest. This means that the handwriting input speed when moving to the coordinate K is the fastest. The CPU 9 can detect the handwriting input speed between the coordinates JL (the maximum speed in FIG. 4) at the coordinates L.

  In the present embodiment, the CPU 9 determines that the number of coordinates acquired for each predetermined movement distance of handwriting input is the number of coordinates acquired at the time of handwriting input at an optimal input speed as a predetermined number (hereinafter, optimal Whether or not the handwriting input speed exceeds the optimum input speed is determined based on whether or not it is less than the number of acquired coordinates).

  For example, in FIG. 4, if the handwriting input speed between the coordinates AG is the optimum input speed, the CPU 9 causes the handwriting input speed between the coordinates GJ and JK, which have a smaller number of coordinates than between the coordinates AG, to exceed the optimum input speed. It will be determined that

Even in the case where the handwriting input speed is detected and determined in this way, as in the reference mode, the user has the handwriting input speed too fast due to the vibration of the touch panel 6, the display of the notification image, and the output of the notification voice. Can be surely grasped.

  More preferably, the touch panel 6 is vibrated more strongly as the degree of deficiency in the number of coordinates acquired for each predetermined movement distance of handwritten input with respect to the optimum number of acquired coordinates is larger.

  In the example of FIG. 4, when the handwriting input speed between the coordinates AG is the optimum input speed, and the number of coordinates acquired in the handwriting input between the coordinates AG is the optimum number of acquired coordinates, a predetermined moving distance x of the handwriting input The vibration generated at the end point coordinates L of the handwritten input between the coordinates JL with the smallest number of coordinates acquired at is made strongest.

  In this way, as the handwriting input speed becomes too fast, the touch panel 6 can be vibrated more strongly. As a result, the user can more easily grasp the optimum input speed and adjust the handwriting input speed more appropriately. And the handwritten character recognition rate can be further improved.

  As described above, according to the handwritten information recognition apparatus 1 according to the present invention, when the handwriting input speed exceeds the optimum input speed, the fact is notified to the user by the vibration of the touch panel 6, the notification image, and the notification voice. be able to.

  As a result, even if it becomes difficult to confirm the recognition result of the handwriting input by hiding the display screen with the finger of the user who operates the touch panel 6, the user can easily and surely adjust the handwriting input speed. . Thereby, a handwritten character recognition rate can be improved.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above, A various change is possible as needed.

  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the set speed is set as the optimum input speed, but the present invention is not limited to such a configuration, and for example, an allowable limit of handwriting capable of recognizing handwritten input characters. The input speed may be set as the set speed.

  In the embodiment described above, the touch panel 6 is vibrated when the handwriting input speed exceeds the optimum input speed. However, the touch panel 6 is so weak that the vibration of the touch panel 6 does not interfere with proper handwriting input. If it is a thing, contrary to embodiment mentioned above, you may make it vibrate the touch panel 6 when the handwriting input speed does not exceed the optimal input speed.

  Furthermore, the information input by handwriting may of course be information other than characters such as symbols and figures.

  Furthermore, if the handwritten information recognition apparatus 1 according to the present invention is used for setting a destination in a vehicle-mounted navigation device, the operability of the vehicle-mounted navigation device can be improved.
