摘要:
Electronic note taking is enhanced by automatically modifying an electronic document corresponding to a user's meeting notes to include at least some data from an electronic calendar or scheduling system in which the user's meeting is scheduled. For example, when an electronic note is created for a specific meeting, information about the meeting from the user's electronic calendar or scheduling system can automatically be included in the new electronic note. This information may be provided in the note in a form that allows it to be electronically searched and shared with others.

Recognition results associated with handwritten electronic ink, voice recognition results or other forms of user input can be corrected by designating at least a portion of a visual display. Recognition results corresponding to the designated portion, and optionally, additional recognition results to provide context, are displayed. Portions of the displayed recognition results are then selected, and alternate recognition results made available. Alternate recognition results can be chosen, and the selected recognition results modified based upon the chosen alternate. The invention may include different user interfaces.

A computer system and method for providing user feedback when creating, modifying, or editing electronic documents. An insertion point icon is placed in a document at a position for insertion and/or deletion of text, graphics, data, etc. Upon receiving a user input indicating movement, the insertion point icon is divided into two icons, one stationary at the position, and one moving with user input. When movement is complete, space contained between the icons may be deleted or inserted. The system may be used to shift handwritten text to subsequent lines on an electronic document containing handwritten text, and may be used to bring two groups of text together, deleting space in between. A connection line may be displayed between the icons to provide feedback regarding the action to be taken.

Aspects of the present invention provide context menus useful in, e.g., a computing device receiving user input via a stylus. Icons representing actions performable on an object are displayed in a context menu for the object. Additional aspects of the invention include cascading menus that also minimize hand and/or wrist motion, as well as placement of menus based on user handedness and/or stylus orientation.

A correction tool that displays a correction widget when a user acts to correct text is provided. More particularly, if the user places an insertion point in or to the immediate left of the text, or selects the text, the tool displays the correction widget immediately to the left of the selected text. The user can then quickly access a correction interface for correcting the text simply by moving the pointer the short distance from the insertion point to the correction widget. When the user activates the correction widget, the tool displays the correction interface immediately proximal to the correction widget. Thus, the user need only move the pointer a small distance further to then correct the text using the correction interface.

A user interface is described that informs the user as to the status of the operation of a voice recognition application. The user interface displays an indicator, such as a volume bar, each time that the voice recognition application records and identifies a volume event. The user interface also displays an indicator when the voice recognition application recognizes a volume event corresponding to a displayed volume event indicator. The interface thus confirms to a user that the voice recognition application is both recording and recognizing the words being spoken by the user. It also graphically informs the user of the delay the application is currently experiencing in recognizing the words that the user is speaking.
摘要:
A lasso select tool that allows a user to draw a flexible line of selection ink in order to select one or more graphical objects for manipulation. As the user draws this selection line, the lasso select tool continuously redraws and displays a connection line connecting one end of the selection line with the opposite end of the selection line. This connection line thus graphically demonstrates to the user the area that is presently encompassed by the resulting lasso enclosure. Further, the lasso select tool will change the appearance of any object selected with the lasso enclosure. The lasso select tool also selects objects that are only substantially encompassed by the lasso enclosure. For example, the lasso select tool may select ink objects that are only 60% or more encompassed by the lasso enclosure.

A task library comprising task data for a plurality of components installed on a computer system is provided. The task library includes task data for a plurality of components installed on a computer system. The task links, that reference task data elements, are generated and stored with the task library. The task links are generated according to predetermined schemas associated with the task library. Task data elements may be configured such that the installed component corresponding to the task data may be manipulated/configured from within the context of the task library. The components installed on the computer may be hardware or software components. Installed components may include modules that are “installed” on the computer though they are located remote to the computer.
