Abstract
Abstract An information recognition system includes a recognition unit for recognizing inputted information as groups of candidate characters, a memory for storing the groups of candidate characters, a display-integrated tablet for displaying top characters in the groups of candidate characters, also a coordinate input device for indicating one of the displayed characters, and a character correcting device which replaces the top character indicated by the coordinate indicating device with another character in the group to which the indicated top character belongs are provided.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
146 words
An information recognition system comprising: input means for inputting information; recognition means for recognizing said information inputted at said input means as at least one group having a plurality of candidate characters; memory means for storing said groups of said candidate characters, said characters in each said group being arranged in a probability order having a first character of the highest probability and a last character of the lowest probability; display means for displaying said first characters in each said group of said candidate characters, said display means including coordinate input means for selecting one of said first characters being displayed on said display means; and character correcting means, responsive to an operator, for replacing said one first character selected by said coordinate input means with one of said candidate characters in said group corresponding to said one first character having the next highest probability order.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
146 words
An information recognition system comprising: input means for inputting information; recognition means for recognizing said information inputted at said input means as at least one group having a plurality of candidate characters; memory means for storing said groups of said candidate characters, said characters in each said group being arranged in a probability order having a first character of the highest probability and a last character of the lowest probability; display means for displaying said first characters in each said group of said candidate characters, said display means including coordinate input means for selecting one of said first characters being displayed on said display means; and character correcting means, responsive to an operator, for replacing said one first character selected by said coordinate input means with one of said candidate characters in said group corresponding to said one first character having the next highest probability order.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words

Claim 6
Dependent Claim
171 words
An information recognition system comprising: input means for inputting information; recognition means recognizing said information inputted at said input means as at least one group having a plurality of candidate characters; memory means for storing said groups of said candidate characters, said candidate characters in each said group being arranged in a probability order having a first character of the highest probability and a last character of the lowest probability; display means for displaying said first characters in each said group having a plurality of said candidate characters, said display means including coordinate input means for selecting one of said first characters being displayed on said display means; window display means for displaying a window having said candidate characters in vicinity of said one first character in said group to which said one first character selected by said coordinate input means belongs; and character correcting means, responsive to an operator, for replacing said one first character selected by said coordinate input means with one of said candidate characters in said window.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
171 words
An information recognition system comprising: input means for inputting information; recognition means recognizing said information inputted at said input means as at least one group having a plurality of candidate characters; memory means for storing said groups of said candidate characters, said candidate characters in each said group being arranged in a probability order having a first character of the highest probability and a last character of the lowest probability; display means for displaying said first characters in each said group having a plurality of said candidate characters, said display means including coordinate input means for selecting one of said first characters being displayed on said display means; window display means for displaying a window having said candidate characters in vicinity of said one first character in said group to which said one first character selected by said coordinate input means belongs; and character correcting means, responsive to an operator, for replacing said one first character selected by said coordinate input means with one of said candidate characters in said window.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
37 words
