摘要： Described is a technology by which a computer system operates in a mode that is different from a general purpose operating mode, upon detection of a special actuation mechanism coupled to the computing device. For example, actuation of a special hardware button may boot or resume a sleeping computer system into a direct experience upon actuation, including by launching a special program corresponding to that button. The computer system may thus enter a mode in which it mimics a special purpose device such as a consumer electronics device, e.g., a dedicated media player. When in a direct experience, the computer system may also operate in a constrained/sandboxed mode in which operating system limits available functionality to less than what is available when running as a general purpose computer system, e.g., keyboard operation and/or file access may be limited. Different actuation mechanisms may correspond to different modes.

摘要： In a computing device, a method and system for searching for matching ink words or phrases, by comparing a given search term of at least one word (and possibly alternates) with the words in a document, including recognized ink words and any possible alternates for those recognized words as returned by a recognizer. Various matching tests are possible because of the use of alternates, which also may have corresponding probability rankings that may influence the search. Searching may occur in actively edited ink documents, or the recognition results may be saved as saved search file data that can be searched independent of recognition.

摘要： A system and method for associating an ink title with a note is described. A user may hand write a title for a document or note and have the handwritten ink title be displayed when interacting with the system when, for example, viewing the contents of a directory, reviewing the results of a search, viewing a list of most recently used documents, viewing a history of which documents were used, and the like. The use of a handwritten ink title speeds a user's recall of the content of the note over textual titles.

摘要： Systems, methods, and computer-readable media make media content (e.g., audio, video, or pictorial data) from multiple sources available through a single interface of a client device. The client device may be a portable media playing device (such as a laptop, Tablet PC, MP3 player, portable video player, or the like). By aggregating media content from plural sources (such as a desktop PC, a set top box, etc.) and providing a unified listing of the available media content from these multiple sources on the client device, a user can view all available media content at a single location, without making multiple connections to multiple different sources. Additionally, the user can pull media content from these multiple sources to the client device. Features also are provided to automatically synchronize, obtain, and update media content on the media source(s) and/or the client device. Various ways of handling digital rights management issues associated with copying at least some media content also are described.

摘要： A system, method, and user interface for interacting with electronically displayed content is disclosed. In response to a selection of an object, a list of menu options is displayed close to the selected object. In one embodiment, the list of menu options is displayed in a font larger than that used to display the selected object. Through the use of the invention, a user is provided with a technique for actively reading displayed content with minimal distractions from the user interface.
