DETECTION OF HANDWRITTEN FRAGMENT SELECTION

摘要

A device, method, and computer-readable media for switching between a digital ink selection mode and another mode are presented. The device includes a surface and processor that receive and identify gestures or writing instrument strokes. The processor receives the identified gestures or writing instrument strokes from the digital ink-enabled surface. In response to a tap gesture, the processor processes the area associated with the tap to detect digital ink strokes for a word, sentence, or shape corresponding to the tapped area. In turn, the device enters an ink selection mode for the located ink strokes. The digital ink-enabled surface may have a display that is updated to render a closed shape around the located digital ink strokes. The device may switch from digital ink selection mode to the other mode in response to additional writing instrument interactions or additional gestures, including interactions or gestures on displayed whitespace.
