Automated handwriting input for entry fields

摘要

An embodiment provides a method, including: detecting, at a surface of a device accepting handwriting input, a location of the display surface associated with initiation of a handwriting input; determining, using a processor, a location of an entry field in a document rendered on a display surface, the location of the entry field being associated with a display surface location; determining, using a processor, a distance between the location of the surface associated with initiation of the handwriting input and the location of the entry field; and automatically inserting input, based on the handwriting input, into the entry field after determining the distance is less than a threshold value. Other aspects are described and claimed.

1. A method, comprising:
detecting, using a processor, at a surface of a display device, a location of the surface associated with initiation of a handwriting input; wherein a location of an entry field in a document displayed on the surface, is associated with a surface location; automatically inserting, using the processor, input into the entry field based on a distance between the location of the surface associated with initiation of the handwriting input and the location of the entry field; determining, using the processor, that the handwriting input has completed: and thereafter, using the processor, inserting additional handwriting input into a separate entry field associated with a surface location of the additional handwriting input after detecting that the separate entry field includes space accommodating the additional handwriting input.
