  • Patent number: 9396390
    Abstract: A system, computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, and a computer-implemented method for processing user stroke data are presented. To begin, a first series of data points obtained from a sketch input module may be detected. A recognition result corresponding to a matching geometry is then generated and displayed through a user interface. The recognition result comprises a recognized geometry and an assisting geometry. A second series of data points obtained from the sketch input module is then detected. Responsive to detecting that the second series of data points is within a conformity threshold relative to the assisting geometry, the recognized geometry is updated by extending the boundary of the recognized geometry to additionally correspond with the second series of data points. The recognition result with the updated recognized geometry is then displayed through the user interface.

  • Patent number: 8914259
    Abstract: A method, system, apparatus, article of manufacture, and computer-readable storage medium provide the ability to edit surface objects in a surface modeler. A dependent surface object (that is dependent on one or more input objects) having one or more properties is obtained. First user input is received that indicates that a surface associativity for the dependent surface object is off. In response to the receiving, an association between the dependent surface object and the one or more input objects is maintained. The association is used to expose the one or more properties of the dependent surface object. The properties are then displayed for editing by the user.
