METHOD OF INPUTTING AUTONOMOUS CHARACTER OR THE LIKE, AUTONOMOUS FONT DATA AND METHOD OF USING AUTONOMOUS FONT DATA

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of inputting autonomous characters or the like which is capable of efficiently and exactly inputting the images of a large quantity of handwritten characters. SOLUTION: An entry sheet for the characters, etc., is based on the following principle: The sentences shown in Figure 2(a) consists of the fonts of the sizes of broken line frames 21, etc., 22, etc. For these broken line frames 21, etc., 22, etc., the ranges of the respective characters are enclosed by solid line frames 23a, etc., 24a, etc., as shown in Figure 2(b). The respective solid line frames 21, etc., 22, etc., vary in sizes and positions by the kinds of the characters, etc. In freshly forming the fonts, the broken line frames 21, etc., 22, etc., are determined as the regions for capturing the images of the broken line frames 21, etc., 22, etc., and the solid line frames 23a, etc., 24a, etc., are previously determined like Figure 2(b) as the frames to enter the chambers, etc., in these regions. The entry sheet for the characters, etc., set in the manner described above is used, and if the characters, etc., are entered into these frames and the images are fetched in the regions of the broken line frames, the exact reproduction of the character arrays of Figure 2(b) is made possible.
