Abstract

An electronic device capable of efficiently recognizing a handwritten character is provided. The electronic device includes a first circuit, a display portion, and a touch sensor. The first circuit includes a neural network. The display portion includes a flexible display. The touch sensor has the function of outputting an input handwritten character as image information to the first circuit. The first circuit has the function of analyzing the image information and converting the image information into character information, and a function of displaying an image including the character information on the display portion. The analysis is performed by inference through the use of the neural network.

Claims (34)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a first circuit comprising a neural network;

a display portion comprising a flexible display; and

a touch sensor,

wherein the touch sensor is configured to output an input handwritten character as image information to the first circuit,
