An embodiment provides a method, including: displaying content on a display screen of a first device; determining a position of a second device relative to the display screen of the first device; selecting a portion of the display screen of the first device based on a determined position of the second device; and transferring the portion of the display screen selected to one or more devices. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Using information handling device footprint for transfer

In one aspect, a device includes a touch-enabled display, a processor, and a memory accessible to the processor. The memory bears instructions executable by the processor to determine that an input device is within a proximity to the touch-enabled display, and in response to the determination and without supplemental input from a person, present on the touch-enabled display a user interface (UI) for providing input to the first device at least in part based on manipulation of the input device.

Presenting user interface on a first device based on detection of a second device within a proximity to the first device

An embodiment provides a method, including: communicating data from a smart pen to a device using a pen input data channel having a first bandwidth; said data including short range wireless connection data; establishing, using said data, a short range wireless connection between the smart pen and the device; and communicating, in a connected condition, higher bandwidth data between the smart pen and the device using the short range wireless connection. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Smart pen pairing and connection

One embodiment provides a method, including: accepting, in an input overlay application, handwriting ink strokes; determining handwriting units for the handwriting ink strokes; accepting editing input of the handwriting ink strokes; and reflowing handwriting ink strokes based on the editing input. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Reflow of handwriting content

One embodiment provides a method, including: detecting, in an overlay input application, one or more ink strokes provided to an input field overlay area; and providing, in the overlay input application, a preview area that displays a typeset preview for the one or more ink strokes; wherein the preview area is displayed in a location determined by an area associated with current ink stroke input. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Handwriting preview window

One embodiment provides a method, including: accepting, in an input and display device, handwriting ink strokes; providing, using a handwriting recognition engine, one or more machine words for the one or more ink strokes; determining a characteristic of the one or more handwriting ink strokes; changing, based on the characteristic of the handwriting ink strokes, input formatting for the one or more machine words; and inputting the one or more machine words according to the input formatting. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Formatting handwritten content

One embodiment a method, including: providing, on an input and display device, an overlay handwriting input application that provides handwriting input to an underlying application; and providing, on the input and display device, a cursor initiated by the overlay handwriting application that represents an input location within at least one input field of the underlying application. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Cursor indicator for overlay input applications

In one aspect, a device includes a touch-enabled display, a processor, and a memory accessible to the processor. The memory bears instructions executable by the processor to receive input to the touch-enabled display and present a representation of the input on the touch-enabled display. The representation is presented with the width of one or more contours of the representation being correlated to the size of at least a portion of the input to the touch-enabled display.

Presentation of representations of input with contours having a width based on the size of the input

For force identification of a boundary, code detects an attention area on a display intersecting a boundary of the display. In addition the code provides a force indication through a feedback device in response to detecting the attention area intersecting the boundary.

Force indication of a boundary

One embodiment provides a method, including: accepting, at an input and display device, a plurality of ink strokes; converting the plurality of ink strokes into machine input for analysis; analyzing, using a processor, the machine input to determine a grouping; adjusting, according to the grouping, a layout of at least a sub-set of the plurality of ink strokes determined using a geometric relationship; and providing a display based on the grouping. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Ink layout analysis

One embodiment provides a method, including: accepting, at an input and display device, an ink stroke provided to an input overlay application; providing a display of the ink stroke on the input and display device; converting the ink stroke input into a converted input for an underlying application; providing the converted input to the underlying application; detecting a user input associated with the converted input; and reverting to the ink stroke on the input and display device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Undo operation for ink stroke conversion

A system can include a base device and a satellite device configured to operate in an attached state and to operate in a detached state; circuitry that responds to a transition from the detached state to the attached state by establishing a wired communication session between the base device and the satellite device; circuitry that responds to a transition from the attached state to the detached state by establishing a wireless communication session between the base device and the satellite device; and circuitry that communicates information, via an established wired communication session in the attached state and via an established wireless communication session in the detached state, from the base device to the satellite device for rendering the communicated information to a display of the satellite device. Various other apparatuses, systems, methods, etc., are also disclosed.

Establishing a remote desktop

An apparatus can include a processor; a memory device that includes memory accessible by the processor; a touchscreen operatively coupled to the processor; and circuitry to decode fields received via the touchscreen, the fields being modulated according to modulation codes associated with a set of tokens positionable on the touchscreen. Various other apparatuses, systems, methods, etc., are also disclosed.

Touchscreen and token interactions

In one aspect, a device includes a camera, a processor, and a memory accessible to the processor. The memory bears instructions executable by the processor to initiate the camera and project light from the device at an angle corresponding to a field of view of the camera according to a current focal length of the camera.

Projecting light at angle corresponding to the field of view of a camera

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for touch input. An apparatus for touch input includes a display and a touchpad that does not overlap the display. The touchpad has an absolute input mode and a relative input mode such that a location of a cursor within the display is controlled by input received while the touchpad is in an absolute and/or relative input mode. The apparatus also includes a sensor module and a display module. The sensor module detects an input object within a sensing range of the touchpad. The display module presents the cursor at a location within the display based on the input object. The location of the cursor within the display is determined according to the input mode of the touchpad.
