DIRECTING INPUT OF HANDWRITING STROKES
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- presenting, on an input and display device, one or more input fields for an underlying application;
detecting, using the input and display device, one or more handwriting input strokes provided to an input field overlay application;
determining, using a processor, an input field targeting characteristic based on the one or more handwriting input strokes;
selecting one of the one or more input fields as a target input field based on the input field targeting characteristic; and
inserting a converted form of the one or more handwriting input strokes into the target input field.
