Abstract
To prevent an inconvenience from being generated when a user registers a graphic that the user wants to register. A graphic input device obtains registered graphic data indicating a graphic entered by a user and related information associated with the graphic, calculates similarity between the registered graphic data and one of items of graphic data registered in a dictionary, determines whether the entered graphic and a graphic indicated by the item of graphic data is similar to each other based on the calculated similarity, and, in a case where the entered graphic and the graphic indicated by the item of graphic data is not similar to each other, registers the registered graphic data and the related information in the dictionary in association with each other.
