Design and implementation of keyboard input method for handwritten Chinese characters

A new handwritten Chinese character keyboard input method was designed, and an algorithm of generating strokes intelligently based on fast fuzzy matching was presented. In this method, a Chinese character was simulated on the keyboard by a key list of feature points including up-points, twist-points, middle-points and down-points of each stroke. By constructing a netlike search space of strokes, a key list was converted to a set of stroke lists, so that the keyboard input of the Chinese character was achieved. It is unnecessary to memorize the keys stricken when the user inputs Chinese character into the computer.
