Abstract: A notetaking information handling system device comprising a processor, a memory device, and a touchscreen display device displaying a graphical user interface (GUI) of a software application for accepting digitized handwritten notes and receiving a digitized handwritten note in a first notetaking instance. The processor to record metadata relating to the first notetaking instance and execute code instructions of a notes auto-curating system to recognize and parse the digitized handwritten note and determine from the digitized handwritten note a smart symbol or a keyword within the note content of the digitized handwritten note.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatically generating a meeting summary is disclosed herein. Meeting audio is recorded and converted into a text-based transcript. Handwritten meeting notes are converted into notes text. The transcript and notes text are correlated to provide correlated meeting text. Meeting topics are determined from the correlated meeting text. A meeting summary is generated from the meeting topics.

Abstract: Security on an information handling system may be improved by using a stylus. A stylus provides unique information about a user that may not be acquired by an information handling system through other methods. For example, a user's handwriting is often unique to that user and may provide a security check on the information handling system to confirm the user's identity. Further, the stylus is usually held in the user's hand and may be used to check the user's fingerprint to confirm the user's identity. These authentication techniques, including fingerprinting and handwriting, may be used to maintain persistent authentication while the user is using the stylus. As the user continues to interact with the information handling system with the stylus, the stylus continues to receive the user's fingerprint and handwriting, which may be checked to confirm the user of the information handling system is still the expected user.

Abstract: An application of an information handling system may generate a note. The application may request user activity metadata from one or more external sources and may receive user activity metadata from the one or more external sources. The application may tag the note with the received user activity metadata.

Abstract: An information handling system may detect handwritten text associated with a gesture. The information handling system may request contextual information corresponding to the handwritten text and may receive contextual information corresponding to the handwritten text. The information handling system may display, on a display of the information handling system, the received contextual information.

Abstract: A method, system, and computer-usable medium are disclosed for generating a composited video layout of facial images in a video conference. In at least one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes receiving a video frame from a video source, where the video frame includes faces of individuals engaged in a video conference; generating, from the received video frame, a windowed image for each face in the video frame; generating a composite video frame including the windowed images; and providing the composite video frame for use as video of a video-conferencing application. Other embodiments include corresponding computer systems, apparatus, and computer programs recorded on one or more computer storage devices, each configured to perform the actions of the methods.

Abstract: There is provided a method for automatically converting a media file for playback on a portable media player. The method includes specifying the type of the portable media player. If a stream of the media file is not capable of being played back by the portable media player, the stream is discarded. If a stream of the media file is capable of being played back and is supported by the portable media player, the stream is then directly copied to the player. Where a stream of the media file is capable of being played back and is not supported by the portable media player, the stream is then converted using a predetermined codec that is supported by the portable media player, the predetermined codec selected on a basis of playback quality, output file size and file conversion time. A corresponding system and software is also disclosed.
