- Intercepting pen input if intended for handwriting.
- Determining the target input field for the pen input.
- Using context associated with the input field to improve recognition accuracy.
- Providing handwriting input to the determined input field based on application capabilities.
Potential Applications: The technology could be applied in digital note-taking apps, electronic signature verification systems, and form-filling applications.
Problems Solved: The system addresses the challenge of accurately processing pen input on computing devices and improving handwriting recognition in various applications.
Benefits:
- Enhanced accuracy in processing pen input.
- Streamlined input field determination process.
- Improved handwriting recognition in digital environments.
Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include digital writing tablets, electronic document management systems, and interactive whiteboards for educational purposes.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the system differentiate between different types of pen input? 2. What are the potential limitations of the system in recognizing handwriting accurately?
Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing research in this field may focus on enhancing the system's ability to adapt to different writing styles and languages, as well as improving real-time handwriting recognition capabilities.
Original Abstract Submitted
pen input received by a computing device may first be evaluated to determine an associated intent. for example, it may be determined whether it is intended to be handwriting input, in which case the pen input may be intercepted (e.g., rather than provided to an underlying application for further processing). subsequently, a target determination is made, where the pen input is processed to determine which input field should receive the input. when the pen input is processed to generate handwriting input, context associated with a determined input field may be used to improve recognition accuracy. finally, various techniques may be used to ultimately provide the handwriting input to the determined input field, for example according to the set of capabilities that is supported by an application associated with the input field. similarly, aspects of the disclosed system may be disabled or adapted when the application does not support such functionality.
