Abstract
Handwritten/input stroke data is compared with a gesture dictionary. If the data coincides with a specific gesture, it is checked whether the gesture is completed, and the stroke data is stored. After the meaning of the gesture command is analyzed by using the gesture dictionary, an image stroke data group which does not coincide with any gesture, and an icon group replacing stroke data which coincides with a gesture appears on the display screen. In this state, when the user taps icons having functions as gestures he/she wants to execute, the corresponding gesture commands are executed.
