Patent number: 4953226Abstract: An electronic apparatus with pattern recognition function is disclosed. This apparatus has one key pad used for inputting both command data for giving instruction for controlling the apparatus and hand-writing data to be pattern-recognized. The input data are processed depending on which area of the key pad they have been input in. A CPU is also included for deciding how to process the input data. An operator can input both handwriting data and command data from one single key pad and thus troublesome operations, such as inputting handwriting data from a key pad and also inputting command data from a key board, can be eliminated.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 1989Date of Patent: August 28, 1990Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Shigeru Matsuyama
