Information processing device, program, recording medium, and information processing system

Abstract

There is provided an information processing device which includes a receiving unit which receives handwriting data of an electronic pen accompanied by attribute information added by a user; a recognizing unit which recognizes a character string or a graphic from the handwriting data accompanied by the attribute information and associates the attribute information accompanying the handwriting data with the character string or the graphic; a search unit which searches for user-desired information on the basis of the character string or the graphic and the attribute information associated with the character string or the graphic; a converting unit which converts the user-desired information to display data; and a display unit which displays the display data.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An information processing device comprising:
 a receiving unit which receives handwriting data of an electronic pen accompanied by attribute information added by a user;   a recognizing unit which recognizes a character string or a graphic from the handwriting data accompanied by the attribute information and associates the attribute information accompanying the handwriting data with the character string or the graphic;   a search unit which searches for user-desired information on the basis of the character string or the graphic and the attribute information associated with the character string or the graphic;   a converting unit which converts the user-desired information to display data; and   a display unit which displays the display data.   
     
     
         2 . The information processing device according to  claim 1 , wherein if the handwriting data accompanied by the attribute information is received by the receiving unit, the recognizing unit automatically recognizes the character string or the graphic and associates the attribute information with the character string or the graphic. 
     
     
         3 . The information processing device according to  claim 1 , wherein if the attribute information associated with the character string or the graphic exists, the search unit automatically searches for the user-desired information on the basis of the attribute information associated with the character string or the graphic. 
     
     
         4 . The information processing device according to  claim 1 , wherein the search unit searches for a type of information corresponding to a type of the attribute information. 
     
     
         5 . The information processing device according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an input unit which receives manipulation of the user,   wherein the search unit searches for a type of information designated by the manipulation of the user received by the input unit among a plurality of types of information corresponding to the type of the attribute information.   
     
     
         6 . The information processing device according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a communication unit which communicates with a network,   wherein the search unit searches for the user-desired information from information on the network via the communication unit.   
     
     
         7 . The information processing device according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a storage unit in which information is stored,   wherein the search unit searches for the user-desired information from the information stored in the storage unit.   
     
     
         8 . The information processing device according to  claim 1 , wherein the search unit searches for character information related to the character string as the user-desired information. 
     
     
         9 . The information processing device according to  claim 1 , wherein the search unit searches for image information similar to the graphic as the user-desired information. 
     
     
         10 . The information processing device according to  claim 1 , wherein the search unit searches for graphic element information into which the graphic is broken as the user-desired information and the converting unit generates information of a shaped graphic by combining the graphic element information. 
     
     
         11 . The information processing device according to  claim 1 , wherein the search unit searches for image information related to a character string included in a region of the graphic as the user-desired information. 
     
     
         12 . An information processing system comprising:
 an electronic pen which transmits handwriting data:   a receiver which receives the handwriting data and transmits the handwriting data accompanied by attribute information added by a user; and   an information processing device including a receiving unit which receives the handwriting data accompanied by the attribute information, a recognizing unit which recognizes a character string or a graphic from the handwriting data accompanied by the attribute information and associating the attribute information accompanying the handwriting data with the character string or the graphic, a search unit which searches for user-desired information on the basis of the character string or the graphic and the attribute information associated with the character string or the graphic, a converting unit which converts the user-desired information to display data, and a display unit which displays the display data.
