Processing of information

Abstract: A handwriting recognition device comprises a transducer surface responsive to a pen positioned thereon for representing the coordinate position of the pen as an electrical signal, and data processing means for recognizing a handwriting effected with the pen, the data processing means including a microprocessor based control controlling a read/write memory, a non-volatile read-only memory storing a handwriting recognition routine to store recognized handwriting in the read/write memory, and an interface communicating to a host computer system a representation of the recognized character. A visual display may be provided coupled to a display interface and an input information for receiving verified recognized handwriting communicated from the host computer system. The read/write memory has a first storage location coupled to the transducer storing a representation of signals from the transducer, a second storage location coupled to the interface and storing a representation of recognized handwriting, and a third storage location coupled to the display interface and storing an image of the display.

Data capture device by which handwritten alphanumeric characters are couverted to machine readable digital code

Abstract: A handwriting recognition device 2 comprises a transducer surface responsive to a pen positioned thereon for representing the coordinate position of the pen as an electrical signal, and data processing means for recognising a handwriting effected with the pen, the data processing means including a microprocessor based control controlling a read/write memory, a non-volatile read-only memory storing a handwriting recognition routine to store recognised handwriting in the read/write memory, and an interface communicating to a host computer system a representation of the recognised handwriting. A visual display 6 may be provided coupled to a display interface and an input interface for receiving verified recognised handwriting communicated from the host computer system. The read/write memory has a first storage location coupled to the transducer storing a representation of signals from the transducer, a second storage location coupled to the interface and storing a representation of recognised handwriting, and a third storage location coupled to the display interface and storing an image of the display.
