Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional methods for line separation of handwriting texts from electronic writing panels face challenges due to variations in writing habits and environmental effects, leading to issues such as unequal stroke orders, abnormal strokes, and difficulties in accurately dividing lines.

Innovation Solution

An auto-line-division system that records stroke coordinates and times, uses a mainframe with processors and memory to process manuscripts, includes units for calculating standard heights and widths, deleting abnormal strokes, and employs pre-division, special line handling, overlarge line re-division, and space incorporation to improve line division accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional line separation methods are used, then the basic line division function is achieved, but accuracy deteriorates due to abnormal strokes and writing variations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveline division accuracyVSAvoidconsistency of line division
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary processing to identify and delete abnormal strokes before conducting line division. This preliminary action removes problematic elements (abnormal strokes caused by writing habits or environmental effects) that would otherwise interfere with accurate line separation, thereby improving both accuracy and reliability of the line division process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system converts the harmful effect of abnormal strokes into a benefit by using them as identification targets for deletion. By detecting strokes that deviate from normal patterns (caused by writing variations or environmental factors) and removing them, the system transforms these previously harmful elements into an opportunity to improve line division accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

2Productivity

If simple line division is performed, then processing speed is maintained, but line division efficiency deteriorates due to multiple processing steps needed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveline division efficiencyVSAvoidnumber of processing units
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the line division process into distinct functional units: abnormal stroke detection unit, line division unit, and correction unit. This segmentation allows each unit to specialize in a specific task, improving overall processing efficiency while maintaining manageable complexity through modular design

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The abnormal stroke detection unit serves as an intermediary between the input handwriting data and the line division unit. It pre-processes the data by identifying and removing abnormal strokes, providing cleaner input to the line division unit and reducing the need for complex correction mechanisms later in the process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If multiple lines are divided into one single line, then line division simplicity is maintained, but measurement precision deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveline separation accuracyVSAvoidline division process simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The correction unit implements a feedback mechanism that evaluates the results of line division and identifies cases where multiple lines were incorrectly merged. Based on this feedback, the system performs corrective actions to separate the lines properly, thereby improving measurement precision while maintaining operational simplicity through automated correction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

An auto-line-division system for handwriting manuscript for line-division of a handwriting manuscript from an electronic handwriting input panel is provided. Generally, in writing, various conditions will generate, such too large or too small words, isolation words, reversal strokes, etc. The system could process these problems in writing based on the setting of a standard line height and a standard line width. The edges and features in division of lines are detected and some values are calculated for correction of the line division so that efficiency of line division is promoted. Another, problems induced in the first line division is taken into consideration, and the problem of multiple lines due to mistake line division can be further correct to one single line. These problems could is corrected so as to promote the accuracy in line division.
