Abstract

According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a hardware processor. The hardware processor sets a first attribute of strokes to be made on a screen, wherein the first attribute determines a degree of change in thicknesses or colors of the strokes according to a change of writing pressure of the strokes; receives a first stroke made on the screen; display the first stroke in accordance with the first attribute on the screen; determines a handwriting candidate conforming the first stroke, wherein the handwriting candidate includes a second attribute different from the first attribute; changes a form of the handwriting candidate in accordance with a difference between the first attribute and the second attribute; and displays the handwriting candidate according to the first attribute on the screen.

Claims (49)

1 . An electronic apparatus comprising:

a screen configured to detect a stroke made on the screen and display the stroke;

a storage configured to store a document; and

a hardware processor configured to:

display the document on the screen;

set a first attribute of strokes to be made on the screen, wherein the first attribute determines a degree of change in thicknesses or colors of the strokes according to a change of writing pressure of the strokes;

receive a first stroke made on the screen;

display the first stroke in accordance with the first attribute on the screen;

determine a handwriting candidate conforming the first stroke, wherein the handwriting candidate comprises a second attribute different from the first attribute;

change a form of the handwriting candidate in accordance with a difference between the first attribute and the second attribute; and

display the handwriting candidate according to the first attribute on the screen.

2 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor is further configured to use the first attribute of a part of the first stroke to change the form of the handwriting candidate.

3 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:

the first attribute comprises colors of the strokes; and

the hardware processor is further configured to adopt a color of the first stroke to display the handwriting candidate.

4 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:

the first attribute comprises transmittance of background color regarding coloring of the strokes; and

the hardware processor is further configured to adopt transmittance of background color regarding coloring of the first stroke to display the handwriting candidate.

5 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:

the first attribute comprises a degree of change in width of the strokes according to the change of the writing pressure of the strokes; and

the hardware processor is further configured to use a degree of change in width of the strokes according to writing pressure of the first stroke to change the form of the handwriting candidate.

6 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the hardware processor comprises means for:

displaying the document on the screen;

setting a first attribute of strokes to be made on the screen, wherein the first attribute determines a degree of change in thicknesses or colors of the strokes according to a change of writing pressure of the strokes;

receiving a first stroke made on the screen;

displaying the first stroke in accordance with the first attribute on the screen;

determining a handwriting candidate conforming the first stroke, wherein the handwriting candidate comprises a second attribute different from the first attribute;

changing a form of the handwriting candidate in accordance with a difference between the first attribute and the second attribute; and

displaying the handwriting candidate according to the first attribute on the screen.

7 . A method for an electronic apparatus, the method comprising:

detecting a stroke made on a screen, and displaying the stroke;

storing a document;

displaying the document on the screen;

setting a first attribute of strokes to be made on the screen, wherein the first attribute determines a degree of change in thicknesses or colors of the strokes according to a change of writing pressure of the strokes;

receiving a first stroke made on the screen;

displaying the first stroke in accordance with the first attribute on the screen;

determining a handwriting candidate conforming the first stroke, wherein the handwriting candidate comprises a second attribute different from the first attribute;

changing a form of the handwriting candidate in accordance with a difference between the first attribute and the second attribute; and

displaying the handwriting candidate according to the first attribute on the screen.

8 . The method of claim 7 , further comprising using the first attribute of a part of the first stroke to change the form of the handwriting candidate.

9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein:

the first attribute comprises colors of the strokes; and

the method further comprises adopting a color of the first stroke to display the handwriting candidate.

10 . The method of claim 7 , wherein:

the first attribute comprises transmittance of background color regarding coloring of the strokes; and

the method further comprises adopting transmittance of background color regarding coloring of the first stroke to display the handwriting candidate.

11 . The method of claim 7 , wherein:

the first attribute comprises a degree of change in width of the strokes according to the change of the writing pressure of the strokes; and

the method further comprises using a degree of change in width of the strokes according to writing pressure of the first stroke to change the form of the handwriting candidate.
