Abstract:
An information processing method comprising the steps of:inputting a plurality of strokes together, the plurality of strokes including a target stroke for a recognition process and at least one stroke matching one of a plurality of predetermined patterns corresponding to respective predetermined processes, wherein the at least one stroke matching one of the plurality of predetermined patterns is intermingled with the target stroke, for which the recognition process has not been executed; determining, by pattern matching, whether the plurality of input strokes includes the at least one stroke matching one of the plurality of predetermined patterns corresponding to the predetermined processes; extracting, when said determining step determines that the plurality of input strokes includes the at least one input stroke matching one of the predetermined patterns, the at least one input stroke matching one of the plurality of predetermined patterns, from the plurality of input strokes; selecting a predetermined process corresponding to the predetermined pattern matching the at least one input stroke extracted in said extracting step; recognizing the target stroke remaining after said extracting step has extracted the at least one input stroke from the plurality of input strokes; and executing the selected predetermined process for a result of the recognition in said recognizing step.
