Abstract

See full text

A stroke processing system (SPS) is described which processes a user's current instance of handwriting with reference to previous instances of handwriting. In one application, the SPS matches a new token input by a user (corresponding to a sequence of stroke samples) with previous tokens that are similar to the new token. The SPS then refines the new token by averaging it with the previous tokens. This improves the appearance of the new token. In another application, the SPS uses the previous tokens to produce a search result. In another application, the SPS uses the previous tokens to perform an auto-completion operation.
