Techniques for synchronization of a print menu and document annotation renderings between a computing device and a mobile device logged in to the same account
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- detecting, by a computing system including one or more processors, that (i) a computing device and a mobile computing device are at least one of (a) both registered to a particular user and (b) both logged into a same account associated with the particular user and (ii) a document is currently being edited by the computing device;
in response to the detecting and without additional input via the computing device and the mobile computing device, coordinating, by the computing system, the display of an option comprising least one of (i) an additional menu element in an existing menu at the computing device and (ii) an additional icon in an existing toolbar at the computing device, wherein at least one of (a) the existing menu did not include the additional menu element prior to the detecting and (b) the existing toolbar did not include the additional icon prior to the detecting;
receiving, at the computing system from the computing device, a request issued by the computing device upon selection of the option;
in response to receiving the request, coordinating, by the computing system, the display of the rendering of the document at the mobile computing device;
receiving, at the computing system, an annotated rendering of the document, the annotated rendering including handwritten annotations made to the rendering of the document via a touch display of the mobile computing device; and
storing, at a memory of the computing system, the annotated rendering of the document.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes providing, from a server including one or more processors, a user interface element to a first computing device, wherein the first computing device is associated with a user, and the server determines that the user is associated with a second computing device that is a mobile computing device having a digital display and is logged into an account at both the first and second computing devices. The method further includes receiving a user request for a rendering of a document issued by the first computing device upon selection of the user interface element by a user, and transmitting a command to the second computing device that causes the second computing device to automatically display the rendering of the document. The method further includes receiving and storing annotation information corresponding to one or more annotations to the rendering made at the second computing device.

14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that when executed by one or more processors of a computing system cause the computing system to perform operations comprising:
-
detecting that (i) a computing device and a mobile computing device are at least one of (a) both registered to a particular user and (b) both logged into a same account associated with the particular user and (ii) a document is currently being edited by the computing device; in response to the detecting and without additional input via the computing device and the mobile computing device, coordinating the display of the display of an option comprising least one of (i) an additional menu element in an existing menu at the computing device and (ii) an additional icon in an existing toolbar at the computing device, wherein at least one of (a) the existing menu did not include the additional menu element prior to the detecting and (b) the existing toolbar did not include the additional icon prior to the detecting; and receiving, from the computing device, a request issued by the computing device upon selection of the option; in response to receiving the request, coordinating the display of the rendering of the document at the mobile computing device; receiving an annotated rendering of the document, the annotated rendering including handwritten annotations made to the rendering of the document via a touch display of the mobile computing device; and storing the annotated rendering of the document at a memory of the computing system. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 18, 19, 20)
