Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for reducing storage using commonalities. One or more features that are common among each of a plurality of images is determined. One or more background images are generated based on the one or more common features. The one or more background images are used to recreate each of the plurality of images. One or more common features are modified in each image of the plurality of images prior to saving each image. Each of the plurality of images with the modified features is a foreground image.

Abstract: For suggesting input text based on tone mark information for Chinese or Japanese characters or words, an apparatus, system, method, and computer program product are disclosed. The apparatus may include a processor, a handwriting input unit operatively coupled to the processor, an input text module that receives input text comprising at least one character, a tone mark module that identifies a tone mark associated with the input text, and a suggestion module that proposes at least one next character based on the identified tone mark. The input text module may receive a user selection of the at least one next character. The input text may include characters selected from the group consisting of: Chinese characters and Japanese characters.

Abstract: Apparatuses, methods, and program products are disclosed for erasing with a stylus. By use of a processor, an orientation of a stylus relative to a display is determined. Whether a touch event of the display occurs is determined. An erase function is performed in response to the touch event occurring and the orientation of the stylus being is in a substantially inverted position.

Abstract: An approach is provided for associating touch-screen handwriting to application components. Prior to changing focus to a second user interface, a set of handwriting inputs are received at the touch-screen of a device. The received handwriting inputs are associated with an input area of the first user interface that appears on the touch-screen with the first user interface having the system focus while the handwriting inputs were received. Subsequently, when the user changes the focus from the second user interface back to the first user interface, the first set of handwriting inputs are retrieved and converted to a text format and inputted to the input area of the first user interface.

Abstract: For updating a character hint list based on a number of additional strokes, an apparatus, method, and computer program product are disclosed. The apparatus may include a touch-sensitive input panel for receiving handwritten character, a processor, and a memory that stores code executable by the processor. The executable code may cause the processor to: determine a hint list based on the handwritten character, the hint list comprising at least one entry, receive at least one additional stroke relating to the handwritten character, and update the hint list based on a number of received additional strokes. The processor may identify a number of post-character strokes corresponding to each entry in the hint list and remove, from the hint list, each entry whose number of post-character strokes is less than the received number of additional strokes.

Abstract: For detecting cascading sub-logograms, code may detect a sub-logogram from a written input to a written input device. In addition, the code may display one or more logogram hints in response to detecting the sub-logogram. Each logogram hint includes the sub-logogram and one or more subsequent sub-logograms of a logogram sequence of multiple sub-logograms.

Abstract: For presenting visual information on a display, a processor determines to show visual information in response to an audible command from a user. The processor further identifies a display that is viewable by the user and accessible via communication hardware. In addition, the processor presents the visual information on the display via the communication hardware.
