Patent number: 10509989Abstract: A method and an apparatus for recognizing characters using an image are provided. A camera is activated according to a character recognition request and a preview mode is set for displaying an image photographed through the camera in real time. An auto focus of the camera is controlled and an image having a predetermined level of clarity is obtained for character recognition from the images obtained in the preview mode. The image for character recognition is character-recognition-processed so as to extract recognition result data. A final recognition character row is drawn that excludes non-character data from the recognition result data. A first word is combined including at least one character of the final recognition character row and a predetermined maximum number of characters. A dictionary database that stores dictionary information on various languages using the first word is searched, so as to provide the user with the corresponding word.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2018Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hyun-Soo Kim, Seong-Taek Hwang, Sang-Wook Oh, Sang-Ho Kim, Yun-Je Oh, Hee-Won Jung, Sung-Cheol Kim
