Title: Presenting recognised handwritten symbols
Inventor: OKNELID ERIKA
IPC: G06V30/224
Filed: 2003-07-18
Abstract: A method for presenting recognised handwritten symbols comprises the steps of recognising the detected handwritten pattern. The step of recognising comprises comparing the handwritten pattern to templates representing ways of writing symbols and returning a best interpretation of the handwritten pattern, said best interpretation being based on the pattern of a best template. At least two templates comprise different patterns which represent different ways of writing a single symbol, and the patterns of the at least two templates return different best interpretations when being most similar to the handwritten pattern. The method further comprises the step of presenting the pattern of the best template on screen. A device for implementing the method is also disclosed.

Abstract: There is described a thermal recording system which utilizes a donor element comprising a substrate and a thermal transfer material layer having a dye-containing phase which is amorphous and wherein the dye or dyes present in the amorphous phase form a continuous film. Imagewise heating of the medium transfers portions of the transfer layer to a receiver sheet, thus forming an image. The transfer layer may also include a non-dye phase comprising a thermal solvent. During heating of the donor element, the crystalline thermal solvent melts and dissolves or liquefies at least a portion of the dye-containing phase, thereby lowering the temperature at which transfer of the transfer layer occurs.
