Abstract:
A computing device receives a first user input at presence-sensitive display of the computing device, wherein the first user input corresponds to a portion of a desired non-textual object. The device displays a first graphical representation indicating the first user input at the touchscreen display, and determines a first non-textual object suggestion based upon at least the first user input. The device displays a second graphical representation indicating the first non-textual object suggestion, wherein the second graphical representation of the first non-textual object suggestion is displayed differently than the first graphical representation of the first user input, and detects an indication whether the first non-textual object suggestion corresponds to the desired non-textual object.
Abstract:
An instruction is presented to a user for making a target gesture. The target gesture may be a portion of an exemplary or model symbol. The instruction may be presented in various ways, such as being printed on a writing surface or being played in audio format through a speaker of a smart pen device. A writing gesture made on a writing surface by the user is digitally captured using a smart pen device. The captured writing gesture is compared to the target gesture and feedback is determined based on this comparison. This feedback may indicate the correctness of the user's writing gesture. The feedback may be presented to the user through various means, including through the smart pen device. The comparison may also be used to determine a next instruction for the user to follow.
Abstract:
A system and method that facilitates and effectuates in situ search for active note taking. The system and method includes receiving gestures from a stylus and a tablet associated with the system. Upon recognizing the gesture as belonging to a set of known and recognized gestures, the system creates an embeddable object, initiates a search with terms indicated by the gesture, associates the search results with the created object and inserts the object in close proximity with the terms that instigated the search.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a character input method and system, which may include a digital device including an input surface and an output surface. The method and system may include or perform operations including: displaying a character string (32) using a recognition area (28) and an insertion area (30) of the output surface; selecting a position within the character string (32); displaying, in the recognition area (28), a part of the string (32) ending with a first character (34) while masking, in the insertion area (30), a part of the string (32) starting with a second, succeeding character; detecting an input stroke (36) entered manually in the insertion area; performing handwriting recognition; inserting, at the position within the string (32) of characters (34), a recognised character(s); and scrolling the string (32) in the recognition area (28) so as to display, in the recognition area (28), the recognised character(s) that were inserted into the string (32) of characters (34).
Abstract:
Verfahren und Vorrichtung zur Verbesserung der Erkennungsge- nauigkeit bei der handschriftlichen Eingabe von alphanumeri- schen Zeichen und Gesten Ein Verfahren zur automatischen Auswahl eines von mehreren Erkennungsalgorithmen für eine handschriftliche Eingabe von alphanumerischen Zeichen und/oder Gesten in ein auf einem Bildschirm angezeigtes, ausgewähltes Eingabefeld über eine berührungsempfindliche Eingabevorrichtung, umfasst das Durch- führen einer optischen Zeichenerkennung in einem Bereich des Bildschirms, der zumindest das Eingabefeld und die nähere Um- gebung des Eingabefelds umfasst, oder das Durchführen einer Spracherkennung für einen nach dem Anzeigen des ausgewählten Eingabefelds akustisch ausgegebenen Sprachhinweis. In dem Er- gebnis der optischen Zeichenerkennung oder der Spracherken- nung wird nach Feldtypen beschreibenden Begriffen gesucht, und ein für einen in dem Ergebnis der optischen Zeichenerken- nung oder der Spracherkennung aufgefundenen Feldtyp angepass- ter Erkennungsalgorithmus ausgewählt. Optional kann der zu- lässige Wertevorrat für die zu erkennenden Zeichen auch ab- hängig von der Eingabe dynamisch für das nächste oder die nächsten Zeichen bekannt gemacht werden, z. B. wenn die Ein- gabe ein Element in einer Datenbank bezeichnet und/oder ge- wissen Strukturregeln genügen muss.
