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:
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 method and system for searching digitally annotated computer documents, including searching the annotations. An annotated document may be open for viewing by a user, or alternatively present among closed files that are searched to find files that match a query. In one implementation, the document data and the ink-annotation data exist on two separate layers, with each layer having associated text content, whether as original text or as annotations that are recognized as text. When a user issues a query to search the annotated document, the query is passed to a search engine that performs the pattern matching on the text in each layer, to produce search results. The search engine may produce a search result data structure for each match, which may be sorted with other data structures into a list, such as sorted by pages and coordinates, to present them to a user in a logical ordering.

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:
A system and method for rendering ink annotations for a displayed image is disclosed. The invention adjusts the thickness of rendered lines for ink annotations when rendered. Ink annotations are created by capturing and connecting a set of data points input by a user. The invention outlines various pixels and weights saturation of anti-aliasing pixels to improve a user's viewing experience.

The reproduction of one or more selected regions from a primary desktop onto an extended desktop, without any other portion of the primary desktop, is disclosed. The user or a software application may thereby have discretion as to what is and is not presented on the extended desktop. Selected regions may be windows, regions that are custom-defined regardless of whether they include a window, or even pre-defined non-window regions. Because the selected regions are already on the user's primary desktop, the user is always able to view and manipulate the extended desktop, by manipulation of the primary desktop, without having to do anything special. In addition, windows or other regions that are obscured by other object on the primary desktop are not necessarily obscured on the extended desktop. An application programming interface is also described that allows a software application and/or a software developer to access reproduction functionality.
摘要:
A method and system for adapting system behavior based on activities. An activities engine determines or is informed of the current activity and instructs a notification component to notify registered programs (also known as notification consumers) about the current activity. Upon receipt of the notification, the notification consumers modify their behavior if appropriate. When an activity ceases, the activities engine may instruct the notification component to notify the registered programs so that they may resume their normal behavior.
