  • Patent number: 9870143
    Abstract: In a handwriting recognition method applied in an electronic device with touch screen and display screen, a handwriting input area and a handwriting display area are shown on a touch screen when a handwriting command is given. The handwriting of a complete or partial word in the handwriting input area is recognized and displayed and a new handwriting input area can be added when a preset slide operation is applied that the tracing of a handwritten character collides with a boundary of the input area. Handwriting in the new handwriting input area is recognized and displayed and the content of the original handwriting input area and of the new handwriting input area are combined to form a complete word when the handwriting input is finished. The complete word is then displayed.
