accelerator system comprising:
a collection processor operable to receive said input
data, to convert said input data into vector stroke data and
to output said vector stroke data;
a user independent handprint memory operable to store
user independent handprint character samples; and
a recognition processor operable to receive said vector
stroke data, compare said vector stroke data to said user
independent handprint character samples and output said
recognizable character data based on the results of said
comparisons.
The Examiner relies on the following references:
Fujimoto et al. (Fujimoto) 4,015,239 Mar. 29, 1977
Nakatsuka 5,265,174 Nov. 23, 1993
