摘要

The present invention provides a method for changing a segment of one or more strokes which are to constitute any of characters and signs by recognizing a relationship in the position between the above frame encompassing the above strokes previously hand-written and a stroke newly hand-written ; judging whether there is any requirement for changing the above segment by referring the above recognized relationship in the position to predetermined relationships ; recognizing, if there is no requirement, the above newly hand-written stroke as a stroke which constitutes, alone or in combination with strokes to be hand written later, a character other than the character encompassed by the above frame ; ascertaining, if there is any requirement, the above newly hand-written stroke as any of one or more changing-instruction strokes which identify predetermined types of changing the above segment ; and changing the above segment according to the above changing-instruction stroke.
