Abstract: Display rotation management is described. A device may include sensors disposed within a housing that produce an output usable to determine an orientation of a display device disposed on a surface of the housing. A rotation manager module disposed within the housing may process the output of the sensors to determine the orientation of the display device. The rotation manager module may calculate an average orientation of the display device over a time interval and a variance of the orientation. Based on the variance of the orientation in relation to a threshold amount, the rotation manager module can set a screen orientation of the display device.

Abstract: Graphical user interfaces for computer display devices include a page bar control element that allows a user to easily and quickly navigate among the pages of a multiple page electronic document and/or among the pages of a plurality of electronic documents. In some examples, the page bar control element displayed on the computer system provides a visual representation of a multiple pages of the document(s), wherein the visual representation includes several tabs or markers, each marker representing one or more pages of the document(s). In some examples, the markers are rendered in colors that enable quick identification of the current page and/or the page being viewed as well as pages viewed in a riffling action. The page bar control element also may include a visual “flag” that helps users quickly locate text that they have previously flagged or that the system has automatically flagged for them.

Abstract: Described is a method and system a system and method for dynamically and intelligently configuring a computer system's video-related settings upon connection of a monitor, and/or reconfiguring upon disconnection. A monitor configuration may include one or more display mechanisms, their video settings, relative positioning, and may include power scheme data. When a monitor is plugged into or unplugged from a computer system, a monitor manager component is notified and determines the current configuration, such as based on monitor identifiers. The current configuration is searched against persisted monitor configurations seeking a match. If previous monitor configuration data is found, the previous monitor configuration is applied. If not an exact match, configuration data is constructed based on similar configuration data that is persisted, or by querying for capabilities and iterating as necessary to find a video mode that the video card and monitor can use.

Abstract: Electronic note taking is enhanced by automatically modifying an electronic document corresponding to a user's meeting notes to include at least some data from an electronic calendar or scheduling system in which the user's meeting is scheduled. For example, when an electronic note is created for a specific meeting, information about the meeting from the user's electronic calendar or scheduling system can automatically be included in the new electronic note. This information may be provided in the note in a form that allows it to be electronically searched and shared with others.

Abstract: Recognition results associated with handwritten electronic ink, voice recognition results or other forms of user input can be corrected by designating at least a portion of a visual display. Recognition results corresponding to the designated portion, and optionally, additional recognition results to provide context, are displayed. Portions of the displayed recognition results are then selected, and alternate recognition results made available. Alternate recognition results can be chosen, and the selected recognition results modified based upon the chosen alternate. The invention may include different user interfaces.

Abstract: Various techniques and tools are described for allowing a user to flag desired content within a data file. More particularly, a user can select content within a file, such as an image or a group of electronic ink strokes. The user can then flag that selected content so that it may later be easily retrieved. The flag may simply mark the position of selected content, or the flag may be associated with the selected content such that, if the content is moved to another location or even to another file, the flag will remain associated with the selected content, and can continue to be used to easily retrieve the selected content.

Abstract: Pen-based computing systems enable users to create, save, edit, modify, and manipulate electronic ink in various ways. To make such systems more useful, the electronic ink may be “repurposed” for use in other application programs. For example, pen-based computing systems may be programmed to: receive electronic ink data in a first application program and introduce a data set relating to at least a portion of the electronic ink data into a second, different application program. The data set introduced into the second application program may include electronic ink data or machine-generated text based on the electronic ink data. Users may freely select the electronic ink data to be transferred to the second application program and the application program to which the ink data will be transferred. The first application program, which serves as the source for the ink data to be transferred, may in some examples receive strokes as user input and generate electronic ink data from this user input (e.g.
