An aspect provides a method, including: identifying two or more inputs ascertained via a device surface, the two or more inputs comprising: a symbol input; and one or more of an additional symbol input and a writing input; determining, using at least one processor, a relationship between the two or more inputs; and executing an action corresponding to the determined relationship. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Stylus shorthand

An embodiment provides a method, including: accepting, at an input surface, handwriting input; identifying, using one or more processors, one or more characters included in the handwriting input; modifying one or more of the one or more characters included in the handwriting input to match penmanship; and rendering, on a display device, the handwriting input including one or more modified characters. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Information handling device handwriting clean-up

An aspect provides a method, including: operating one or more sensors to detect gesture input proximate to a surface of an input device of an information handling device, wherein the input device is configured to receive one or more input types in addition to gesture input; determining, using a processor, if the gesture input detected matches a predetermined gesture; and executing at least one response action associated with the predetermined gesture. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Identification and use of gestures in proximity to a sensor

A method can include rendering pixel representations of information to a rectangular display; and rendering pixel representations of perspectival text to the rectangular display where the pixel representations of perspectival text overlay a portion of the pixel representations of information. Various other methods, apparatuses, systems, etc., are also disclosed.

Obscuring displayed information

For display alignment based on eye tracking, a method is disclosed that includes displaying, by use of a processor, a graphical object on a display screen, detecting an aspect of a user relative to the display screen, and moving the graphical object to reduce a viewing angle between the graphical object and the aspect of a user.

Display alignment based on eye tracking

An apparatus for providing input via a selectively arrangeable, multi-mode input controller is disclosed. A method and computer program product also perform the functions of the apparatus. The apparatus includes a processor, a first body having a first input device, a second body pivotably connected to the first body and having a second input device, and a memory that stores code executable by the processor, the code comprising code that receives indication of an orientation of the first body with respect to the second body and code that alters operation of the first input device based on the orientation of the first body with respect to the second body.

Selectively arrangeable, multi-mode input controller

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for flexible tactile computer input. A surface module may define a pressure-sensitive surface, any physical surface, or a virtual surface of a flexible input device, the surface having a default shape, reshaping the surface in response to physical proximity to one or more external objects, including one or more bodily appendages of a user, and restoring the default shape when the surface is not in physical proximity to the objects. A sensing module may sense manipulation of the flexible input device by the bodily appendages in proximity to the surface. An analysis module may interpret the manipulation of the flexible input device as input to a computer.

Apparatus, system and method for flexible tactile computer input

An aspect provides a method including: identifying one or more symbols input to a surface of a first device; determining, using at least one processor, an association for the one or more symbols; executing an action corresponding to the determined association for the one or more symbols; and storing the one or more symbols identified and the determined association therefor in a lexicon accessible to other devices. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Stylus lexicon sharing

A method can include determining characteristics of a surface; determining a point of view for an object with respect to the surface; and projecting an adjusted image onto the surface, the adjusted image being adjusted based at least in part on the characteristics of the surface and the point of view for the object with respect to the surface. Various other methods, apparatuses, systems, etc., are also disclosed.

Image correction of surface projected image

An apparatus, program product, and method are disclosed for receiving an automation setting from a sharing participant, the automation setting being associated with the sharing participant, comparing the received automation setting to a corresponding local automation setting, and adjusting the local automation setting based on the comparison of the received automation setting to the corresponding local automation setting.

Optimizing automation settings using crowdsourcing

An aspect provides an information handling device, including: one or more processors; a memory device that stores instructions executed by the one or more processors; and a housing that contains the one or more processors and the memory device; the housing having a substantially rectangular shape with a length and height dimension that exceed a width dimension; and the housing further comprising a shaped pen dock running along an end of the housing defining the width dimension. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Pen dock for electronic device

An aspect provides an expandable pen, including: an internal portion; an external portion that is flexible; and a biased component that is flexible and positioned between the internal portion and the external portion; the biased component applying force to the external portion to flex it away from the internal portion. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Expanding pen for information handling device

An apparatus can include a processor; memory operatively coupled to the processor; a touchscreen display operatively coupled to the processor; a stylus that includes a first axial end, a second axial end and an axially translatable grip; and a housing that includes a stylus socket for docking the stylus. Various other apparatuses, systems, methods, etc., are also disclosed.

Stylus grip

The color of a projected image is dynamically corrected by sensing the color of the surface onto which the image is projected before the image is projected, and/or sensing the color of the surface between frames of the projected image, and/or by sensing the projected image as it is displayed on the surface and comparing what is sensed to the original image. Corrections to the color of the projected image are then made based on the sensed information from the surface onto which the image is projected.

Dynamic projected image color correction based on projected surface coloration

An aspect provides a method including: identifying one or more symbols input to a surface of a first device; determining, using at least one processor, one or more modified input parameters associated with input of the one or more symbols; determining a modification to an association for the one or more symbols based on the one or more modified input parameters; and executing an action corresponding to a modified association for the one or more symbols. Other aspects are described and claimed.
