Abstract: Technology is described herein for facilitating a user's interaction with a digital ink document. The technology internally represents the ink document using a data structure having a hierarchy of nodes. The nodes describe respective elements in the ink document. The technology leverages the data structure to identify a set of nodes that grows upon the user's repeated selection of a particular part of the ink document. At each stage of the selection, the technology highlights a set of elements in the ink document that correspond to the current set of identified nodes. According to another illustrative aspect, the technology produces the data structure by modifying an original data structure provided by a text analysis engine. The technology performs this task with the objective of accommodating structured interaction by the user with the ink document.

Abstract: Input signals, received by a primary computer, are emulated to a guest computer. For example, an input redirection component is connected between the primary computer and the guest computer. The primary computer may be communicatively connected to an input device (e.g., a touch display, a keyboard, etc.). The guest computer may not, however, be communicatively connected to the input device, and thus may be unaware of input signals from the input device. Accordingly, the input redirection component may receive, from the primary computer, a message regarding an input signal from the input device. The input redirection component may emulate the input device (e.g., connect to the guest computer as though the input redirection component is the input device), and may provide an emulated input signal, emulating the input signal, to the guest computer (e.g., the input signal, received by the primary computer, may be used to control the guest computer).

Abstract: A UI for presenting and reviewing a document is optimized based upon the type of computing device being utilized to present the document. One such UI includes a first pane showing a view of the document under review that is sized and formatted for display on a large-format display device. The first pane can also be utilized to emphasize a portion of the document. The UI also includes a second pane that includes indicators for each of the reviewers of the document. The selection of an indicator will cause a portion of the document being reviewed by the corresponding reviewer to be displayed in the first pane. The UI also includes a third pane that includes a scaled image of the document shown in the first pane. Selection of a portion of the scaled image causes the selected portion of the document to be displayed in the first pane.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to coordinate experiences between related applications in a graphical user interface. The method may include receiving handwriting input in a primary application, and extracting structured data from the received handwriting input. The method may further include displaying a selector in the primary application indicating that there are one or more launchable secondary applications that can process the structured data, the selector being initially displayed in a collapsed state as a virtual button. The method may further include receiving a user selection of the button, and then displaying the selector in an expanded state in which one or a plurality of menu options are displayed, each corresponding to one of the launchable secondary applications. The method may further include receiving a user selection of one of the plurality of launchable secondary applications, and launching the secondary application that is selected by the user.

Abstract: A method for providing collaborative communication between computing devices is provided. The method includes at a receiver computing device, displaying a first graphical user interface (GUI) and a second GUI on an interactive display, the first GUI associated with a remotely executed sender application program executed on a sender computing device having a local peer-to-peer wireless connection with the receiver sender computing device and the second GUI associated with a locally executed receiver application program executed on the receiver computing device, receiving a user input from the interactive display indicating user interaction with the first GUI and the second GUI, sending a content request to the sender application program from the receiver application program based on the user input, receiving the content requested from the sender application program, and updating the second GUI based on the content transferred from the sender application program to the receiver application program.

Abstract: A state client is configured to allow a user to specify a meeting-specific state, such as that the user is running late for a meeting, checked in to the meeting, or unable to attend the meeting. A state service stores data identifying the user's meeting-specific state. The state service also responds to requests for the state of the user. In one implementation, when such a request is received, the state service determines whether the user is an invitee to the same meeting as the user requesting the state. If not, the state service returns a general-purpose state indicator for the user. If both users are invitees to the same meeting, the state service returns the meeting-specific state indicator, which may then be displayed by a state client.

Abstract: Architecture that facilitates the ability to trigger the capture and storing of meeting state (or context) by way of a single user interaction (a “one-click” operation), referred to herein as a bookmark operation, and then to store and access the state for subsequent use. The state is captured relative to a point of reference, such as time, user, keywords, and reference to a document, for example. Thus, all state elements such as meeting activities, participants, and content (e.g., audio, video, images, text, documents, etc.). The bookmark assigned to the state at a particular reference can be selected to rehydrate all the state elements captured and associated with that bookmark (e.g., getting back to the point in the meeting to perceive a relevant portion of a document, part of the meeting video, or other recorded feed), as well as all other allowed state elements.

Abstract: A meeting lifecycle management service manages various aspects of a meeting lifecycle. An indication of a newly scheduled meeting is received at the meeting lifecycle management service, and information related to the meeting is managed, via the meeting lifecycle management service, prior to the meeting, during the meeting, and after the meeting.
