  • Patent number: 10565299
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a display and a hardware processor. The hardware processor displays a view on a screen of the display, wherein the view includes a part of a document shared between the electronic apparatus and at least one other electronic apparatus and handwritten strokes being input from the electronic apparatus and the at least one other electronic apparatus are rendered in the view. The hardware processor determines, when an operation for pasting an object in the view is performed, whether a blank area allowing the object to be pasted exists in the view, based on an area free of the handwritten strokes in the view. The hardware processor renders the object in the blank area if the hardware processor determines that the blank area exists.

  • Patent number: 9390341
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic device includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry displays one or more first strokes input by handwriting on a screen, and executes, in response to input of the one or more first strokes, processing for displaying a second stroke group selected from stroke groups which are input candidates searched by using the one or more first strokes on the screen, the stroke groups including the second stroke group and another stroke group, the second stroke group and the another stroke group corresponding to a first character string. A value in any one of a size, a number of coordinates for displaying, and a length of time for inputting, of to the second stroke group is bigger than that of the another stroke group.

  • Patent number: 9244567
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an electronic apparatus includes a display processor and a controller. The display processor is configured to display an object on a touch screen display. The object includes a first line segment and a second line segment which is not parallel to the first line segment. The controller is configured to acquire first positional data from a first trace of the first line segment on the touch screen and second positional data from a second trace of the second line segment on the touch screen. The controller is further configured to set a correction value for correcting a deviation between a display position of traces and a detection position of a touch input on the touch screen display, by using the first and second positional data.
