Abstract

An aspect provides a method including: identifying one or more symbols input to a surface of a first device; determining, using at least one processor, one or more modified input parameters associated with input of the one or more symbols; determining a modification to an association for the one or more symbols based on the one or more modified input parameters; and executing an action corresponding to a modified association for the one or more symbols. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Claims (39)

1. A method comprising:

detecting handwriting input of one or more symbols to a surface of a first device;

identifying, using at least one processor, one or more input parameters during input of the one or more symbols;

determining, using at least one processor, one or more of the input parameters differs from a predetermined input parameter;

identifying a modification to a characteristic associated with the one or more symbols based on the one or more input parameters differing from the predetermined input parameter; and

executing an action corresponding to the modification identified.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more input parameters identified comprise one or more of a speed of symbol input, a pressure of symbol input, and a tilt of symbol input.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined input parameter comprises a history of stored user input parameters and wherein determining one or more of the input parameters differ from a predetermined input parameter comprises comparing the one or more input parameters to the predetermined input parameter.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the history of stored user input parameters correspond to a history of inputs to the first device.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein executing an action corresponding to the modification identified comprises executing an additional action in combination with execution of a default action for the one or more symbols.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the additional action comprises an intermediate action that delays the default action.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the additional action comprises a filtering action.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the additional action comprises displaying an option to confirm the default action prior to its execution.

9. The method of claim 5 , wherein the additional action comprises modifying one or more independent actions of one or more applications of the first device.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the one or more independent actions of one or more applications of the first device comprise notification actions, and further wherein the additional action comprises muting a notification of an incoming communication to the first device received by the one or more applications of the first device.

11. An information handling device, comprising:

a device surface configured to receive user input;

one or more processors; and

a memory accessible to the one or more processors storing instructions executable by the one or more processors to:

detect handwriting input of one or more symbols to the device surface;

identify one or more input parameters during input of the one or more symbols;

determine one or more of the input parameters differs from a predetermined input parameter;

identify a modification to a characteristic associated with the one or more symbols based on the one or more input parameters differing from the predetermined input parameter; and

execute an action corresponding to the modification identified.

12. The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein the one or more input parameters comprise one or more of a speed of symbol input, a pressure of symbol input, and a tilt of symbol input.

13. The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein the predetermined input parameter comprises a history of stored user input parameters and wherein to determine one or more of the input parameters differ from a predetermined input parameter comprises comparing the one or more input parameters to the predetermined input parameter.

14. The information handling device of claim 13 , wherein the history of stored user input parameters correspond to a history of inputs to the information handling device.

15. The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein to execute an action corresponding to the modification identified comprises executing an additional action in combination with execution of a default action for the one or more symbols.

16. The information handling device of claim 15 , wherein the additional action comprises an intermediate action that delays the default action.

17. The information handling device of claim 15 , wherein the additional action comprises a filtering action.

18. The information handling device of claim 15 , wherein the additional action comprises displaying an option to confirm the default action prior to its execution.

19. The information handling device of claim 15 , wherein the additional action comprises modifying one or more independent actions of one or more applications of the information handling device.

20. A product, comprising:

a computer readable storage medium storing instructions executable by one or more processors, the instructions comprising:

computer readable program code that detects handwriting input of one or more symbols to a surface of a first device;

computer readable program code that identifies one or more input parameters during input of the one or more symbols;

computer readable program code that determines one or more of the input parameters differs from a predetermined input parameter;

computer readable program code that identifies a modification to a characteristic associated with the one or more symbols based on the one or more input parameters differing from the predetermined input parameter; and

computer readable program code that executes an action corresponding to the modification identified.
