Patent number: 6380923Abstract: A full-time wearable input device, method for the same is provided, wherein the immediate accessibility is improved without sacrificing the operational integrity, and information can be inputted anytime, anywhere, and immediately. The full-time wearable input device comprises a detector for detecting the shock generated at the time of striking the fingertips against a physical surface, and an analyzer for analyzing the timing at which the fingertips strike the aforementioned physical surface and determining the input information based on the detection signal detected by the aforementioned detector. As the above-mentioned detector, a shock sensor, acceleration sensor, sound sensor and myoelectric sensor can be used. The input information is then determined based on the change in the shock, acceleration, sound and/or myoelectric potential as detected by the sensors which are worn on each finger, wrist, or arm.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 1994Date of Patent: April 30, 2002Assignee: Nippon Telegraph and Telephone CorporationInventors: Masaaki Fukumoto, Akira Hiraiwa, Tadasu Uchiyama, Noboru Sonehara

Patent number: 5781661Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a handwriting information detecting method and apparatus for the same, in which a user can choose any handwriting tool such as a pen or a pencil, and when the user writes with the tool, the handwriting information can be detected. The handwriting information detecting method of the present invention comprises steps of detecting a motion of a writing tool, held by a writing tool holder comprising at least one acceleration sensor, based on at least one acceleration signal output from the at least one acceleration sensor when the writing tool is grasped by fingers; and recognizing handwriting information of a character or a figure written by the writing tool according to the detected motion thereof, and outputting the information.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 1995Date of Patent: July 14, 1998Assignee: Nippon Telegraph and Telephone CorporationInventors: Akira Hiraiwa, Masaaki Fukumoto, Tadasu Uchiyama, Noboru Sonehara, Shigeru Oikawa

Patent number: 5745599Abstract: The present invention provides a handwritten character recognition method in which neighboring points are connected by straight lines and the segments in-between points are then interpolated using broken lines. Each broken line is equally divided into k segments, and a number is assigned to each division point therein according to the time sequence of the respective point. A (k+1)N.times.N (N is the number of strokes) matrix P consisting of the elements of row (k+1)(n-1)+1 and column k(m-1)+j comprising angle .OMEGA. formed by the straight line connecting division point i of stroke n and division point j of stroke m and the straight line connecting division point i of stroke n and division point j+1 of stroke m, is then calculated. The distance di between handwritten character Cx and matrix Qi (i=1-M) formed in the same manner from M templates corresponding to characters possessing the same number of strokes as character Cx, is calculated as the sum of the squares of each element of matrix P-Qi.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 1995Date of Patent: April 28, 1998Assignee: Nippon Telegraph and Telephone CorporationInventors: Tadasu Uchiyama, Noboru Sonehara, Akira Hiraiwa

Patent number: 5406481Abstract: An apparatus is presented for providing a short time range forecast with relative high accuracy from weather radar images of cloud reflection data by incorporating physical properties of cloud in the forecasting method. The method consists of defining a plurality of lattice points on a radar image, and multiplying the reflection data from a group of neighboring lattice points obtained at a specific past point in time with selected coefficients. The products of multiplication are summed, and transformed into image data by specific function based on the properties relating to cloud. Squared errors of the difference between the computational reflection data and the observed reflection data are iterated to a value below a predetermined threshold value to select the coefficients, and these coefficients are used to provide forecasting of reflection data at a specific future point in time.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 1994Date of Patent: April 11, 1995Assignee: Nippon Telegraph and Telephone CorporationInventors: Kazuhiko Shinozawa, Noboru Sonehara, Tadasu Uchiyama
