  • Accommodating sensors and touch in a unified experience
    Patent number: 10956019
    Abstract: Automatically alternating between input modes on a computing device based on a usage pattern is provided. A first input mode is initiated for interacting with content displayed on the computing device. An input corresponding to a second input mode on the computing is then detected. A transition is then made from the first input mode to the second input mode on the computing device. Upon the detecting a termination of the input on the displayed content the second input mode, a gradual transition is made from the second input mode to the first input mode based on a current sensor state of the computing device and a threshold.

  • Using sketch effects as part of displaying one or more electronic document objects
    Patent number: 9032291
    Abstract: Systems and methods for distorting the form or format of an object in an electronic document. A sketch effect theme defines parameters that when applied to the object modify one or more coloring, formatting, and effects characteristics of the object to convey a sketched or hand-drawn look or feel to the object. The parameters are stored in a record associated with the document to persist the sketch effect theme through different sessions in which the document is active or open.
