Optimizations for hybrid word processing and graphical content authoring

Abstract

Embodiments provide interactive computer-implemented rich heterogeneous content authoring features. In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes an interaction model that uses an input state associated with a user operation and an electronic page interface to provide an interactive authoring experience. In one embodiment, a note taking client can include an interaction model used in part to automatically control aspects of an electronic note page. Other embodiments are included and available.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method comprising:
 determining a container state of an electronic page;   determining an input state of an application; and   using an interaction model in part to determine whether to adjust a container presentation based in part on the container state and a number of transition ranges that include a first transition threshold used in part to automatically adjust the container presentation to a first portion of an available page dimension, and a second transition threshold used in part to automatically adjust the container presentation to a second portion of the available page dimension.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the input state corresponds with a first input occurrence when the electronic page is absent of a page object. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising storing parameters associated with the first input occurrence including resize parameters of the application window when the electronic page includes a note container. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the input state corresponds to a first input occurrence when the electronic page includes a picture. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising determining an insertion point associated with a first input operation at a first location on the electronic page and automatically positioning an originating note container at a default position on the electronic page. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein the default position coincides with an upper left position portion of the electronic page in response to a first click, first tap, or other first input operation associated with the electronic page. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 5 , further comprising removing the originating note container and using an insertion point associated with a second input operation as part of automatically positioning a new note container at the insertion point associated with the second input operation. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising selecting a picture in conjunction with a first input occurrence and automatically inserting a cursor at an insertion point in the picture in conjunction with a second input occurrence. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising automatically resizing the container presentation to about seventy percent of the available page width as part of a first resizing operation and automatically resizing the container presentation to about ninety five percent of the available page width as part of a second resizing operation. 
     
     
         10 . A system comprising:
 at least one processor;   a note taking component including:
 an input manager to detect and manage interactive inputs with an electronic page as part of controlling location of an insertion point and a note container on the electronic page; and 
 an interaction model to adjust parameters of a note taking interface including to adjust a note container dimension and reflow any associated content based in part on a number of transition thresholds that define one or more of non-resizing and resizing ranges of the electronic page; and 
   memory to store input parameters.   
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the note container is used to contain one of text, digital ink, and a picture. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the input manager uses first and second input operations to control the location of the note container. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the input manager uses a tracking register to store user input parameters associated with the electronic page. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein the tracking register is reset upon navigating from the electronic page. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein each resizing range includes a range of page widths wherein the note container is presented to encompass a defined percentage of an available page width. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein a first input operation on a blank electronic page operates to position an originating note container at a default location on the page. 
     
     
         17 . An article of manufacture which stores instructions that operate to:
 determine a container state of an electronic page; and   use an interaction model in part to determine whether to adjust a container presentation based in part on the container state and a number of transition ranges that include a first transition threshold used in part to automatically adjust the container presentation to a first portion of an available page dimension, and a second transition threshold used in part to automatically adjust the container presentation to a second portion of the available page dimension.   
     
     
         18 . The article of manufacture of  claim 17 , wherein the instructions further operate to determine an input state that corresponds with a first input occurrence when the electronic page is absent of a page object. 
     
     
         19 . The article of manufacture of  claim 17 , wherein the instructions further operate to use a tracking register to store user input parameters associated with the electronic page. 
     
     
         20 . The article of manufacture of  claim 17 , wherein the instructions further operate to position an originating container at a default insertion point when the electronic note page is absent of a container and an input state corresponds to a first input operation in conjunction with the electronic note page, and remove the originating container and positioning a new container at the insertion point when the input state corresponds to a second input operation.
