Abstract: A system and a method are provided to facilitate a search of information indicated by stroke data. A system includes a processor. The processor obtains stroke data generated in response to handwriting input and generates, by performing semantic analysis on the stroke data, semantic metadata including semantic data indicating semantics of the stroke data and purpose data determined based on the semantic data.

Abstract: A home user interface (UI) system for managing digital ink is provided. The home UI system includes a plurality of state sensors capable of detecting a state in a house or a change in the state, and a plurality of home-use devices that are provided in the house or that form part of the house and that each include a handwriting sensor capable of detecting handwriting made by a person. The home UI system further includes one or more notification units that are configured to notify the person of the existence of the home-use device or a detectable region of the handwriting sensor of the home-use device. The home UI system further includes a controller which, when it is determined that a notification is necessary from a detection result of one or more of the state sensors, instructs at least one of the notification units to carry out the notification.
