Appeal No. 95-0175
Application 07/894,147
kana to kanji conversion. The examiner has not explained how
Yoshikawa would reasonably suggest displaying a first candidate
kanji character in one of at least two successive input character
display areas in which the kana characters being converted into
kanji ware supposedly displayed. It is not clear whether in
Yoshikawa the kana characters inputted by keyboard are even
displayed at all. Yoshikawa is a system for recognizing
handwritten kanji characters and the kana characters inputted by
keyboard evidently are used only to help in solving problems when
the system initially fails to recognize the inputted handwritten
kanji character.
