Pen/stylus offset modification

1. A method, comprising:

detecting, using a processor, pen input to a surface of an electronic device, wherein the electronic device provides an associated location of a display output representing pen input;

accessing, using a processor, one or more other inputs associated in time with the pen input, wherein the one or more other inputs identify an orientation of a pen used to provide the pen input with respect to the surface of the electronic device based upon a tilt orientation of the electronic device with respect to a user, an orientation of the electronic device in an environment, and a centroid of a part of a hand of the user to a contact point of the pen based on handedness of the user, and wherein the one or more other inputs select a new location of a display output different from the associated location of a display output; and

dynamically adjusting, using a processor, the location of a display output representing the pen input as pen inputs are detected, wherein the adjusted location corresponds to the new location of a display output and an offset calculated based upon the one or more other inputs.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the part of hand of the user comprises palm input at the surface.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the orientation of the electronic device is based upon data derived from one or more sensors.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the distal point with respect to the user is offset from a point of contact associated with the pen input to the surface by a predetermined amount.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the predetermined amount is between about 0.1 mm and about 3 mm.

10. A device, comprising:

a surface accepting pen input;

a display;

a processor operatively coupled to the surface and the display; and

a memory storing instructions that are executable by the processor to:

detect pen input to the surface, wherein the display provides an associated location of a display output representing pen input;

access one or more other inputs associated in time with the pen input, wherein the one or more other inputs identify an orientation of a pen used to provide the pen input with respect to the surface based upon a tilt orientation of the electronic device with respect to a user, an orientation of the electronic device in an environment, and a centroid of a part of a hand of the user to a contact point of the pen based on handedness of the user, and wherein the one or more other inputs select a new location of a display output different from the associated location of a display output; and

dynamically adjust the location of a display output representing the pen input as pen inputs are detected, wherein the adjusted location corresponds to the new location of a display output and an offset calculated based upon the one or more other inputs.

11. The device of claim 10 , wherein the part of hand of the user comprise palm input at the surface.

12. The device of claim 10 , further comprising one or more sensors;

wherein the orientation of the electronic device is derived from the one or more sensors.

13. The device of claim 10 , wherein to adjust comprises changing a location for the display output to be further distal to the user with respect to the detected pen input.

14. The device of claim 13 , wherein to adjust includes calculating a distal point with respect to the user using straight line approximation.

15. The device of claim 14 , wherein the calculating includes determining a centroid of palm input, and further wherein the straight line approximation takes into account the centroid of palm input and a point of contact associated with the pen input to the surface.

16. The device of claim 10 , wherein the one or more other inputs comprise pen orientation data derived from the pen.

17. The device of claim 14 , wherein the distal point with respect to the user is offset from a point of contact associated with the pen input to the surface by a predetermined amount.

18. The device of claim 17 , wherein the predetermined amount is between about 0.1 mm and about 3 mm.

19. The device of claim 10 , wherein the display and the surface are provided in the form of a touch screen unit.
