Appl. No.:

14/844008

Inventors:

- Redmond WA, US
Lee Dicks Clark - Seattle WA, US

International Classification:

G06F 3/0488
G06K 9/00

Abstract:

A computer-implemented technique is described herein that receives captured stroke information when a user enters a handwritten note using an input capture device. The technique then performs analysis on the stroke information to produce output analysis information. Based on the output analysis information, the technique then retrieves at least one supplemental information item that is associated with the captured stroke information. The technique then displays the supplemental information item on a canvas display device, together with the original captured stroke information. In effect, the supplemental information item annotates the captured stroke information with meaningful additional information that enhances the value of the captured stroke information.

Abstract:

A computer-implemented technique is described herein that receives captured stroke information when a user enters handwritten notes using an input capture device. The technique then automatically performs analysis on the captured stroke information to produce output analysis information. Based on the output analysis information, the technique uses an assistant component to identify a response to the captured stroke information and/or to identify an action to be performed. The technique then presents the response, together with the original captured stroke information. In addition, or alternatively, the technique performs the action. In one case, the response is a text-based response; that text-based response may be presented in a freeform handwriting style to give the user the impression that a virtual assistant is responding to the user's own note. In another case, the response engages the user in an interactive exercise of any type.
