Abstract:

The enhanced feature of this invention is the direction of a pen input on an electronic device to a separate canvas where it can be separately manipulated and processed for use. Temporal and spatial analysis can ensure that each canvas contain pen strokes that spatially belong together such as an individual word composed of multiple strokes for easy manipulation of the word on the screen. Another related enhanced feature of the invention for erasing portions of the inputted writing is the process of generating a new curve with different points than the original curve.
