摘要： A notes organizer program is provided that allows a user to organize notes on a limited resource computing device. The notes are organized by associating a note, if desired, with a project. The user can name or rename a note or a project. If the user does not specify a note name, the notes organizer program determines the note name based on the associated project. If there is no associated project, the note name is based on the type of note (e.g., voice, handwritten, etc.). A template project is provided for creating notes from templates.

摘要： Voice recording is initiated immediately upon pressing a record button on a digital computing device such as a palm computer. To enable an immediate response to the button being pressed without a delay that would be normally be incurred to load a user interface and a recording application, a stub program is continuously executed on the device, even when a main user interface program is not running. When the record button is pressed, the stub program immediately begins recording a digital signal corresponding to the sound waves incident on a microphone of the device in a compressed format. If the record button is depressed for more than a second, the recorded digital signal is stored in a file so that it can subsequently be played back, and if the record button was pressed for less than one second, the file is not retained. Sound recording can be initiated in an “eyes free” mode, e.g., while using the device under low ambient light conditions, or while engaged in another activity. Recording and playback are controlled by a user interface that is launched when the record button is initially pressed, if not already running. Sound files can be selected and played back at either a normal speed or at a substantially higher speed without any significant change in the frequency of the recorded sound, using control buttons provided on the hand held computing device or the user interface that is provided on a touch screen display.

摘要： A logical separation between pages, such as an implicit page break, is introduced to separate text entered during one handwriting session from text entered during another handwriting session. If the user leaves more than a threshold amount of blank space at the bottom of the page immediately preceding the new page, then an implicit page break may be inserted at the beginning of the new page. The amount of blank space left at the end of the preceding page may be combined with other criteria to determine whether to insert an implicit page break. The amount of time elapsed since ink has been captured on the previous page is another factor that may be used by itself or combined with other factors to determine whether to insert an implicit page break into the new page. A change in context, such as a different date or different recognized subject matter labels, is also a factor that may be considered in determining whether to insert an implicit page break.

摘要： In a computing device that receives handwritten data, a method and system that maintains an association between alternates for a given ink word, regardless of the handwritten or text state of the word, and regardless of the position of the word as it may be edited in a document. Handwritten data is maintained in an ink word data structure, and once the word is recognized and an alternate is selected for it, the first character of the word remains as an ink word (in a text buffer) pointing to the data structure, with a flag set in the data structure indicating that the word is now recognized as text. In this state, the first character is displayed to the user as a recognized text letter instead of as the handwritten word. The other characters that make up the recognized word are inserted as text into the text buffer. Any alternates returned by the recognizer are thus stored with the ink word data structure displayed as this first character of a recognized word, which also maintains the ink data, e.g., the stroke information entered by a user or the like. Then, if the user edits the word, e.g., moves it, the alternates and also the ink data move with the word. Other alternatives for associating the alternates with the recognized text are also described.

摘要： In a computing device that receives handwritten data, a method and system that corrects for parser segmentation errors by sending an entire line of ink to a recognizer, and then comparing, on a word-by-word basis, the initial segmentation guesses of the parser with the more-thoroughly recognized segmentation results of the handwriting recognition engine. In the correction process, the ink words are efficiently adjusted with relatively little data manipulation. As the recognizer is fed a series of strokes on a line, the recognizer returns segmentation information. For ink word breaks that are the same for any given set of data, the existing ink word is unchanged. For ink words that are recognized differently relative to their initial segmentation, one or more new ink words are created and the handwriting (including stroke) data of the parser's ink word is manipulated to create a new ink processor word (or words) to match the recognizer output.

摘要： A method and system for automatically determining when an application should switch from a writing mode to a text entry mode, and vice-versa. When a soft input panel (SIP) or input method (IM) is selected, the application is notified and enters a text entry mode. Inputting via the IM while in this mode causes a character to be sent to the application, while pen events in the application window enable text editing and the selection of text and ink data in the application widow. When the SIP is deselected, the application is notified and enters a pen (writing) mode, whereby the pen events are interpreted as digital ink strokes instead of characters. Sub-modes of the pen mode are also available, via which the pen events are used to manipulate existing ink in the application window. Visual feedback may be provided to remind the user of the current mode and/or sub-mode.

摘要翻译： 一种用于自动确定应用程序何时应该从写入模式切换到文本输入模式的方法和系统，反之亦然。 当选择软输入面板（SIP）或输入法（IM）时，通知应用程序并进入文本输入模式。 在此模式下通过IM输入会导致将字符发送到应用程序，而应用程序窗口中的笔事件可启用文本编辑和应用程序遗the中文本和墨水数据的选择。 当SIP被取消选择时，通知应用并进入笔（写）模式，由此将笔事件解释为数字墨迹而不是字符。 笔模式的子模式也可用，笔事件用于在应用程序窗口中操纵现有墨水。 可以提供视觉反馈以提醒用户当前模式和/或子模式。

摘要： In a computing device that receives handwritten data, a method and system that facilitates the selection of alternates for a hand written word. A mechanism uses rules to select a word for the user based on the operating mode (state) of the system. In a cursor operating mode, a word is selected and the alternates are provided for the word based on the position of on screen cursor relative to the word (within or adjacent the word). If not on a word having alternates, the selection can move to another word that has alternates. If multiple words are selected, (selection mode), the system selects the first word of those selected that has alternates. Menu options to go to the next or previous recognized word may also be placed on the menu for easy navigation among words, and a user can automatically walk through multiple word sets to receive alternates for each word, one-word at a time. Words that the recognizer believes correct to a high actual or relative probability may be skipped over in the automatic process, and the display of words that the recognizer is less confident are correct can be modified. The user can adjust such sensitivity settings for determining the probability of correctness.

摘要： In a computing device that receives handwritten data, a method and data structure that enables extended data to be added to an existing ink word data structure without compromising backwards-compatibility. A flag in the header data structure is indicates to new ink processing programs the presence or absence of the extended data, and the size information maintained in the header is adjusted ensure that earlier versions of ink programs do not lose the extended data. The extended data is then added by including it in a copy of the existing ink word data structure, along with a tail structure that includes information describing the extended data and the tail structure to the new ink code, e.g., version and offset information. The tail structure can be used to locate a list of alternate word choices for an ink word that are maintained within the extended data.

摘要： An adaptive auto-scrolling merge operation automatically accepts pen-based input data into a hand-held or palm sized computer and places the input data onto a line of a window in which a user intended the input data to be placed. Computing systems that accept input from users typically accept data items to be inserted into a scrollable window that is displayed by the computer. When a user is inserting data items at the end of the window, computing systems may automatically scroll the displayed portion of the window when data has been added to the last line of the window. Because pen based systems do not use a cursor located at an insertion point to know where a user wants new data items to be inserted, the new data items are inserted into the document at the location corresponding to the place within the window in which the user drew the pen strokes used to create the data item. When a user intends to add one or more data items onto the last line of a window after a data item was previously inserted onto the last line of a window, the user may place the pen strokes on the current last line of window to created these new data items whether or not the auto-scroll operation has occurred. The adaptive auto-scroll and merge detects the insertion of a data item onto the last line of a window following an auto-scroll operation and automatically moves the data item to its intended location.
