METHOD FOR RECEIVING INPUT ON AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND OUTPUTTING CHARACTERS BASED ON SOUND STROKE PATTERNS

摘要

A method and electronic device for receiving input and outputting charactersbased on sound stroke patterns are described. In accordance with oneembodiment,there is provided a method for receiving input on an electronic device,comprising:detecting sounds generated by characters written on a writing surface;identifyingstrokes defining the characters from the detected sounds in accordance with anumber of predefined sound signatures, wherein each character written on thewriting surface is defined by a stroke sequence comprising at least onestroke;determining at least one character which matches the at least one stroke ineachstroke sequence; and outputting a string comprising the at least one characterwhich matches the at least one stroke in each stroke sequence.
