Methods, Systems and Apparatus for Digital-Marking-Surface Content-Unit Manipulation
First Claim
1. A method, said method comprising:
- in a digital-marking-surface system;
receiving a first content unit;
analyzing said first content unit to determine whether said first content unit conforms to a first ink gesture associated with a content-unit-collection action;
when said first content unit conforms to said first ink gesture;
determining a first tag value;
collecting a first plurality of content units associated with said first tag value; and
displaying said first plurality of content units in a viewport associated with said digital-marking-surface system.

Abstract
Aspects of the present invention are related to systems, methods and apparatus for collecting and displaying digital-marking-surface content based on semantic tags. Some aspects of the present invention relate to ink gestures that invoke content-unit tagging. Some aspects of the present invention relate to ink gestures that invoke the collection and display of like-tagged content units. Some aspects of the present invention relate to ink gestures that invoke the restoration of a viewport or digital sheet to a pre-collection state. Some aspects of the present invention relate to manipulation of content units in a collection view and the persistence of the content-unit manipulations upon restoration of a pre-collect state. Some aspects of the present invention relate to action invocation from a collection view.

1. A method, said method comprising:
in a digital-marking-surface system; receiving a first content unit; analyzing said first content unit to determine whether said first content unit conforms to a first ink gesture associated with a content-unit-collection action; when said first content unit conforms to said first ink gesture; determining a first tag value; collecting a first plurality of content units associated with said first tag value; and displaying said first plurality of content units in a viewport associated with said digital-marking-surface system. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

27. A method, said method comprising:
in a digital-marking-surface system; receiving a first content unit; analyzing said first content unit to determine whether said first content unit conforms to a first ink gesture associated with a content-unit-tagging action; and when said first content unit conforms to said first ink gesture; determining a first tag value; determining a second ink unit located spatially proximate to said first content unit; associating said first tag value with said second content unit; and removing said first content unit from said viewport. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising instructions that when executed instruct a processor in a digital-marking-surface system to:
-
analyze a first content unit to determine whether said first content unit conforms to a first ink gesture associated with a content-unit-collection action; and when said first content unit conforms to said first ink gesture; determine a first tag value; collect a first plurality of content units associated with said first tag value; and display said first plurality of content units in a viewport associated with said digital-marking-surface system. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)

41. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising instructions that when executed instruct a process in a digital-marking-surface system to:
-
analyze a first content unit to determine whether said first content unit conforms to a first ink gesture associated with a content-unit-tagging action; and when said first ink unit conforms to said first ink gesture; determine a first tag value; determine a second content unit located spatially proximate to said first content unit; associate said first tag value with said second content unit; and remove said first content unit from a viewport associated with said digital-marking-surface system.
