Interactions based on multiple stylus inputs

摘要

In some examples, a stylus may be used to make a first input including a first shape at a first location on a display. The first location may correspond to a location of a graphic element presented on the display, and a mark consistent with the shape may be presented on the display, such as overlying the graphic element. Additionally, the stylus may be used to make a second input including a second shape. For example, the second shape may correspond to a command for performing an operation. In response, to the entry of the first shape and the second shape, the operation may be performed on or with respect to the graphic element. In some instances, various different shapes and combinations of shapes may be mapped to various different operations, designations, destinations, and so forth.

主权项

1. An electronic device comprising:
a display; a touch surface overlying the display; one or more processors; one or more non-transitory computer-readable media; and one or more modules maintained on the one or more non-transitory computer-readable media, which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
receive first input information via a stylus on the touch surface;determine that the first input information is received at a first location overlying, at least in part, a first graphic element presented on the display;compare the first input information to one or more shape profiles to determine a first shape corresponding to the first input information;receive second input information via the stylus on the touch surface;determine that the second input information is received at a second location overlying, at least in part, a second graphic element presented on the display;compare the second input information to the one or more shape profiles to determine a second shape corresponding to the second input information, wherein the second shape is different from the first shape;receive third input information via the stylus on the touch surface;compare the third input information to the one or more shape profiles to determine a third shape corresponding to the third input information, wherein the third shape is different from the first shape and the second shape;determine a first operation to perform in relation to the first graphic element based at least in part on the first shape and the third shape;determine a second operation to perform in relation to the second graphic element based at least in part on the second shape and the third shape; andperform the first operation and the second operation, the first operation relating to the first graphic element and the second operation relating to the second graphic element, the first operation being a different operation from the second operation based at least in part on the first shape being different from the second shape.
