to 21. Claim 2 has been canceled and claims 4 to 6 and 13 to
15 have been indicated as allowable.
The disclosed invention relates to the field of
electronic systems and, more particularly, to improved systems
and methods for handprint recognition. The data processing
system includes a handprint input device coupled to an
accelerator system. The input device is operable to receive
manually inputted handwritten characters and output digital
data representing a series of points activated by the user of
the input device as the handprinted characters are written on
the input device. The output data is converted to vector
stroke data. The real time recognition function is performed
by the accelerator system by comparing the vector stroke with
a library of sample handprint data. The accelerator system
thus outputs a stream of conventional character data to a
general purpose processor. Consequently, the general purpose
processor is freed from the time consuming task of the
character recognition function. The invention is further
illustrated by the following claim.
reconsideration.
