Abstract: Systems and methods are provided hat enable an alternate display device to wirelessly receive content from a computing device, freeing users from the burden of physically connecting the computing device via a cable. The content sent to the display device can also be simultaneously or separately viewed on the computing devices of other nearby computing devices. Generic mechanism(s) and corresponding user interfaces are provided for computing devices to engage in discovery of devices to which content may be delivered, for accepting delivery and for initiating transmission of content.

Abstract: Systems, methods, computer-readable media, and user interfaces for entering, handling, or manipulating data on a computer desktop may include: (a) providing a first viewable region capable of displaying a first portion of a desktop on a display device; and (b) providing a second viewable region capable of displaying a second portion of the desktop on the display device, wherein a portion of the first viewable region redirects data input to and associates the data input with the second portion of the desktop. Other systems, methods, computer-readable media, and user interfaces may include: (a) maintaining a first portion of a desktop; (b) maintaining a second portion of the desktop, wherein the second portion of the desktop includes a region representing the first portion of the desktop; and (c) altering content of the first and/or second portions of the desktop in at least some instances based on data input directed to the region.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for controlling the behavior of a data entry user interface, such as a data input panel, based upon the status of an insertion location. For example, both the position and content of a data input panel are provided based upon the detected characteristics of the insertion location. Further, a technique for invoking or dismissing a data entry user interface may be provided based upon the status of an insertion location.

Abstract: A system and method for switching between handwriting recognizers is described. A user may select between various recognizers to associate received handwritten ink with the recognizers. Accordingly, a user is able to write in a first language, switch and write in a second language, then switch again and write in the first language using aspects of the present invention.
