Abstract
Input interpretation information describing rules for interpreting the intentions of inputs is held in an indication input interpretation grammar holding unit. An input to a coordinate input region is detected by a pen input detection unit. The intention of an input detected by referring to the input interpretation information is interpreted by a grammar parsing unit. The confidence score of the interpretation result is calculated by a confidence score calculation unit. A certainty-factor-attached N-best output unit outputs the interpretation result together with the confidence score.
