Computer-readable media, computerized methods, and computer systems for intuitively invoking a presentation action (e. g. , rendering a menu) by applying a drag-operation at a top-level control button rendered at a touchscreen display are provided. Initially, aspects of a user-initiated input applied at the top-level control button are detected. These aspects may include an actuation location and a distance of a drag-movement therefrom. If a distance of the drag-movement at the touchscreen display is greater than a threshold distance in a particular radial direction from the actuation location, the user-initiated input is considered a drag-operation. Typically, a set of trigger boundaries are constructed based on system metrics to assist in disambiguating the drag-operation from a tap-type operation. If a drag-operation is identified, the presentation action is invoked; otherwise, a principle action associated with the top-level control button (e. g. , manipulating content of an application) may be invoked.

Computer-readable media, computerized methods, and computer systems for intuitively surfacing a teaching animation that demonstrates a manual gesture recognized by a writing-pad tool are provided. Initially, the writing-pad tool is interrogated to determine a context of a computing environment associated with a touchscreen interface. Generally, determining includes recognizing a current condition of the writing-pad tool based on whether text is provided within a content-entry area generated thereby, ascertaining whether a focus of a cursor tool resides within the content-entry area based on whether a portion of the text is selected, and ascertaining which actions are available for invocation at the writing-pad tool based on the current condition and the focus of the cursor. The context of the computing environment is utilized to identify which teaching animations to promote to an active state. Typically the promoted teaching animations are associated with the actions ascertained as available for invocation.

Method for providing a versatile notepad for social networking and interactions with a plurality of users. An input content is received from a user. The received input content is analyzed based on at least the following expression types: expression indicative of time, expression indicative of a location, expression indicative of a statement, expression indicative of an individual, an expression indicative of a list, and a combination of expressions indicative the time, the location, the statement, the list, and the individual. The analyzed information is dynamically converted to a communication object as a function of the expression types. The communication object is rendered to the user.

The claimed subject matter is directed to providing feedback in a touch screen device in response to an actuation of a virtual unit in a virtual input device. Specifically, the claimed subject matter provides a method and system for providing visual feedback in response to an actuation of a virtual key in a virtual keyboard. One embodiment of the claimed subject matter is implemented as a method for providing luminescent feedback in response to an actuation of a virtual key in a virtual keyboard. User input in a virtual keyboard corresponding to a virtual key is received. The corresponding virtual key is actuated and registered in response to the user input, and a luminescent feedback is displayed to the user as confirmation of the actuation of the virtual key.

Application programming interfaces (API) are provided for notebook settings, for example, classroom notebook settings. The APIs allow for a teacher or other user of a class notebook to manage permissions to the class notebooks, and particularly allow for fine control over parts of the class notebook through a class notebook application. An API for generating a guest access link is provided. APIs for creating permission groups for a collaboration space are provided. A post permission API is provided that creates or updates the permission for a section group. A get permission API is provided that retrieves permission information of a section group. A delete permission API is provided that removes permission for a user of a section group.

For a trigger-based contextual information feature, user generated content can be received and stored in a file. Context, including at least a timestamp, can be obtained and stored as metadata for the user generated content. A trigger to display contextual information can be received. In response to receiving the trigger, current context can be obtained, including at least a current timestamp. One or more contexts of the obtained context can be identified to provide as the contextual information based on the current context including an amount of time between the timestamp and the current timestamp; and provided for display along with the user generated content. Such a feature can facilitate effective recall of the purpose or original intent of content based, in part, on time from original note.
