Abstract

When characters and the like are written with a writing device, handwriting is detected by a handwriting detection circuit based on outputs from optical sensors and stress sensors and is stored in a handwriting memory section. The handwriting memory section stores the handwriting whereby it can be used as input data for a computer and the like without reductions in the convenience in using the writing device.
