Movement locus judgment step 16
Then, a step 17 for determining the end of pressing the mouse button, a guide mode determination step 18, a next stroke guide information display step 19, and a command selection step 20 are included. The stroke command guide information reading step 11 is performed by the guide information reading means 1, the guide mode determination steps 13 and 18 are performed by the mode determination means 2, and the first stroke guide information display step 14 is performed by the first stroke guide information display means 3. The mouse movement trajectory determination step 16 is performed by the trajectory determination means 4, and the next stroke guide information display step 19 is performed by the next stroke guide information display means 5.
The command selecting step 20 corresponds to the command selecting means 6, respectively. Further, in FIG. 1, reference numeral 7 indicates a guide information storage means for storing guide information of stroke commands.

Next, the operation of the stroke command support system of the present embodiment constructed as described above will be explained.

When the stroke command support system of this embodiment is started up, the guide information reading means 1 reads the guide information of the stroke command designated in advance from the guide information storage means 7 (step 11).

After that, when the mouse button is pressed (step 12), the stroke command is selected. Therefore, the mode determining means 2 determines whether the mode is the guide mode (step 13).

If in the guide mode, the first stroke guide information display means 3 displays on the screen the guide information that "these commands can be selected by advancing in this direction for the first stroke" (step 14). , Wait for the mouse to move. On the other hand, if it is not the guide mode, step 14 is skipped.

If the mouse is moved (step 1
5) The trajectory determining means 4 determines the trajectory of the mouse movement (step 16).

Next, it is judged whether or not the mouse button is still pressed (step 17). If the mouse button is still pressed, the stroke command selection state continues, so the mode judging means. If the guide mode is not the guide mode (step 18), the control returns to step 15 to wait for the next movement of the mouse.

If it is in the guide mode, the next stroke guide information display means 5 displays on the screen the guide information "This command can be selected by advancing in this direction with the next stroke" on the screen (step 19). , Step 1
Return control to 5 and wait for next mouse move.

If the mouse button is released after the mouse has moved one stroke (step 16) (NO in step 17), the stroke command selection state ends and one stroke command selection instruction ends. Therefore, the command selection means 6 selects a command based on the trajectory of the mouse determined by the trajectory determination means 4 (step 20), returns the control to step 12, and waits for the next mouse button depression.
