For example, it is possible to extract the characteristics of brushstrokes, the inclination and bending angle of the lines of handwritten characters, the aspect ratio of the entire handwritten character, and to move from the unevenness of handwritten characters to the effort. Second, there is a handwriting feature extraction unit that extracts the handwriting features of handwritten characters by extracting the features of the flow of the brushstrokes and the abbreviations (abbreviations) of handwritten characters.
