An application on a computing device includes a digital ink system that supports the input and output of digital ink in a markup language document. Digital ink refers to a digital representation of object (e.g., pen or finger) strokes on an input device that can be displayed on an output device. The markup language document can include, for example, an edit box in which the digital ink and optionally other data can be input. As the input object moves over the input device, data identifying the locations of the input object are captured and embedded in a markup language element of the document. The digital ink system also allows documents including digital ink to be displayed, the digital ink system displaying the digital ink along with any other data included in the document.

A method for hosting a cloud-based broadband push-to-talk (PTT) configuration application includes detecting a user action taken at a remote client device providing an interface to the configuration application including an activation of an add group graphical object for adding a new group to an existing broadband PTT radio system, and further includes entrance of a unique identifier for the new group and entrance of whether the new group is a broadband-only group or a converged broadband and land-mobile-radio (LMR) group. A voice service stack associated with the broadband PTT radio system is updated to include the new group and existing other broadband mobile radios are updated via a voice service stack to reflect the added new group. Where the type of the new group is a converged broadband and LMR group, an LMR interface stack of the LMR radio system is updated to reflect the newly added group.

The techniques described herein are directed to a computing device that receives data from an indirect input device. The data received may indicate or signal that one or more objects are on or within a detection area of the indirect input device. For example, the data may indicate that one or more objects are in contact with a surface of an indirect touch device. The techniques include determining parameters for the one or more objects and analyzing the parameters to determine whether the data is directed to a touch operation or to a mouse operation. To perform the touch operation or the mouse operation, the techniques further describe converting the data received from a first coordinate space of the indirect input device to a second coordinate space of a display screen.

Disambiguation of indirect input

User inputs can indicate an intent of a user to target a location on a display. In order to determine a targeted point based on a user input, a computing device can receive an indication of at least one point, an indication of a width, and an indication of a height. The computing device can estimate a portion of the display based on the indication of the at least one point, the indication of the width, and the indication of the height. The computing device can also determine the targeted point based on a location of the at least one point and based on a location of a portion of one or more objects within the estimated portion of the display.

Touch intelligent targeting

A system and method for multimodal input into an application program. The method may include performing speech recognition on speech audio input to thereby produce recognized speech text input for insertion into a document of an application program, the document having keyboard focus. The method may also include identifying the document as being text service framework unaware. The method may further include displaying the recognized speech text input in a scratchpad graphical user interface for editing the recognized speech text input. The method may further include reflecting keyboard input bound for the document to the scratchpad graphical user interface, while preserving the keyboard focus of the document. The method may also include displaying the reflected keyboard input on the scratchpad graphical user interface, to thereby effect edits in the recognized speech text input.

An extensible common data access user interface is disclosed. The interface operates by storing user interface information in a display database, preferably part of a directory services database, and then coupling that user interface information to the data it will display. The directory service database data to be displayed via the user interface information is in the form of data records of a predefined type stored on at least one of the servers. A second database, preferably part of the same directory service, is stored on the same or another server. The second database contains display records of display information that indicates how records of the predefined type are to be displayed. The predefined record type and the display record are coupled together, preferably by sharing a common naming convention, so that a workstation can display data records of the predefined type by locating the corresponding display record.

Extensible user interface for viewing objects over a network

An extensible user interface architecture is disclosed. The interface operates by storing user interface information in a display database, preferably part of a directory services database. The data to be displayed, preferably directory objects, are bound to the display information in the display database. The user interface application retrieves display information from the display database based on the object to be displayed. The display information for an object is contained in a display specifier, which contains pointers to software modules. After retrieving the display specifier, the user interface application parses out the software module pointers, which are then executed to display aspects of the data to be displayed. As a result, the user interface can be extended by changing the information, i.e., software pointers, contained in the display specifier.
