METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DRAWING
The present invention contemplates a variety of methods and systems for providing a drawing layer synchronized across multiple artists and devices, wherein the drawing layer can provide a computer interface for an artist.
1 . A computer implemented method for providing a computer interface without keyboard for a social ensemble experience to a plurality of artists, the method comprising:
providing a drawing layer synchronized across multiple artist devices;
providing a content layer synchronized across the multiple artist devices;
via the drawing layer as instantiated at a specific device for an artist, enabling the artist to draw, and capturing the artist's drawing;
recognizing when the artist has drawn an image having a specific meaning;
determining a present context at the time of recognizing the specific meaning;
taking an action indicated by the specific meaning in light of the present context.
2 . A computer implemented method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the image is recognized as a trace of an object found in the content layer, the object having an associated virtual experience.
3 . A computer implemented method as recited in claim 2 , wherein the action includes giving the artist rights in the associated virtual experience.
4 . A computer implemented method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the image drawn by the artist is intended as an answer to a query related to the content layer.
5 . A computer implemented method as recited in claim 4 , further including performing character recognition on the image.
6 . A computer implemented method as recited in claim 5 , further including time stamping the image.
7 . A computer implemented method as recited in claim 1 , further including geostamping the image.
8 . A computer implemented method as recited in claim 7 , wherein the image is geostamped for purposes benefiting the artist.
9 . A computer implemented method as recited in claim 7 , wherein the image is geostamped for analytic purposes.
