Abstract

An aspect provides a method, including: receiving user input to an input component of an information handling device; generating a machine based representation of the user input; analyzing, using a processor, the representation of the user input; forming, using a processor, a tag based on contextual user data related to the user input; and providing, using a processor, an indication of the tag. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Claims (54)

1. A method, comprising:

receiving user input to an input component of an information handling device;

generating a machine based representation of the user input;

analyzing, using a processor, the representation of the user input;

forming, using a processor, a tag based on contextual user data related to the user input; and

providing, using a processor, an indication of the tag.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said analyzing comprises identifying one or more key words associated with the representation of the user input.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein said analyzing comprises searching one or more sources for contextual data related to the one or more key words.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the one or more sources is selected from the group consisting of an off-device source operatively coupled to the information handling device and an on-device source.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein providing an indication of the tag comprises providing a visual indication of the tag in a display device.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining user interaction with the indication of the tag; and

providing output containing contextual data of the tag to the user.

7. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

determining user interaction with the indication of the tag; and

providing output containing contextual data of the tag to the user;

wherein providing output containing contextual data of the tag to the user comprises rendering, in the display device, the contextual data of the tag.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein:

rendering comprises providing a link to additional contextual data; and

the link provides access to the additional contextual data.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the contextual user data comprises user contact data related to the contextual data of the tag.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the user input is selected from the group of user inputs consisting of physical keyboard input, soft key input, audio input, and handwriting input.

11. An information handling device, comprising:

an input component that accepts user input;

a display device;

a processor operatively coupled to the display device;

a memory device that stores instructions accessible to the processor, the instructions being executable by the processor to:

receive user input to the input component;

generate a machine based representation of the user input;

analyze the representation of the user input;

form a tag based on contextual user data related to the user input; and

provide an indication of the tag.

12. The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein to analyze comprises identifying one or more key words associated with the representation of the user input.

13. The information handling device of claim 12 , wherein to analyze comprises searching one or more sources for contextual data related to the one or more key words.

14. The information handling device of claim 13 , wherein the one or more sources is selected from the group consisting of an off-device source operatively coupled to the information handling device and an on-device source.

15. The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein to provide an indication of the tag comprises providing a visual indication of the tag in a display device.

16. The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to:

determine user interaction with the indication of the tag; and

provide output containing contextual data of the tag to the user.

17. The information handling device of claim 15 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to:

determine user interaction with the indication of the tag; and

provide output containing contextual data of the tag to the user;

wherein providing output containing contextual data of the tag to the user comprises rendering, in the display device, the contextual data of the tag.

18. The information handling device of claim 17 , wherein:

rendering comprises providing a link to additional contextual data; and

the link provides access to the additional contextual data.

19. The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein the contextual user data comprises user contact data related to the contextual data of the tag.

20. A product, comprising:

a storage device having code stored therewith, the code being executable by a processor and comprising:

code that receives user input to an input component of an information handling device;

code that generates a machine based representation of the user input;

code that analyzes, using a processor, the representation of the user input;

code that forms, using a processor, a tag based on contextual user data related to the user input; and

code that provides, using a processor, an indication of the tag.
