Abstract: The electronic devices described herein are configured to enhance user experience associated with drawing or otherwise inputting shape data into the electronic devices. Shape input data is identified and matched against known shape patterns and, when a match is found, an entity associated with the shape is determined. The entity is converted into an annotation for rendering and/or displaying to the user. The shape identification, entity determination, and annotation conversion may all be based on one or more context elements to increase the accuracy of the shape interpretation. In particular, elements of conversations held via the electronic devices may be used as context for the shape interpretation. Further, machine learning techniques may be applied based on a variety of feedback data to improve the accuracy, speed, and/or performance of the shape interpretation process.

Abstract: The electronic devices described herein are configured to enhance user experience associated with using a pen on the touchscreens of the electronic devices. Contact of a pen on the touch screen is detected by a persistent, pen-aware shell that occupies some or all of the touch screen user interface throughout operation of the electronic device. Detected pen contact with the touch screen is captured/collected as pen input and used to perform a function of the electronic device or shared with an application such that the application may perform a function based on the pen input. A performed function or application with which to share the pen in put is selected by a user, automatically by an operating system, or a combination of the two. Automatic capture of pen input by the persistent, pen-aware shell provides an intuitive way of making use of pen/touch screen capability of an electronic device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for overlaying content on a video frame generated by a video game. A content overlay engine may be executed concurrently with the execution of a video game. An element recognizer may obtain the video frame and identify an element of the video game in the frame, such as an in-game element. A renderability determiner may determine whether an overlay may be rendered on the element. Based at least on a determination that the overlay is renderable, a content renderer may be configured to overlay the content on the element. The overlaid content may be provided in various ways, such as presenting an overlaid video frame to a local computing device (e.g., a gaming console or a computer), and/or transmitting the overlaid video frame to a remotely located computing device.

Abstract: The electronic devices described herein are configured to enhance user experience associated with using a pen or other writing implement and capturing the content written or drawn. A cartridge device is coupled to or included in the pen or writing implement. The cartridge device is configured to collect pen input based on the pen being used by a user to write or draw. Collected pen input is saved on the cartridge device and, when a connection to a network storage device or cloud server is detected, the collected pen input is uploaded. The cartridge device may be associated with a user account based on user credentials, such that pen input stored and/or uploaded is associated with the user account on the cartridge device and don the network storage device or cloud server.
