  • Patent number: 11250253
    Abstract: A handwriting input display apparatus causes display means to display a stroke generated by an input made by using input means to a screen as a handwritten object. The apparatus includes display control means for causing the display means to display character string candidates including a handwriting recognition candidate when the handwritten object does not change for a predetermined time. When the handwriting recognition candidate is selected, the display control means causes the display means to erase a display of the character string candidates and a display of the handwritten object, and causes the display means to display a character string object at a position where the erased handwritten object was displayed. When selection of the handwriting recognition candidate is not performed for a predetermined time and the display of the character string candidates is erased, the display control means causes the handwritten object to be kept displayed.

  • Patent number: 10715666
    Abstract: While using a communication system in which groups of destinations on a network are managed, and any one of the groups can be specified as a destination, if a group needs to be changed, added, or deleted, updating the system on the network is required, which increases load of maintenance. To address such a problem, an operation input receiving unit of a terminal receives selection of a group including destination information that represents destination candidates of communication. A destination management unit of the terminal determines a destination among the destination candidates represented by the destination information included in the selected group. A sending and receiving unit of the terminal makes a request for starting communication with the determined destination, to a management system.
