Handwritten Note Positioning in E-Books
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
When electronic devices display handwritten notes in electronic books, format adjustments such as font enlargement can cause the notes to mismatch with the content, leading to a poor user experience.
Innovation Solution
A method that acquires and records the relative position of handwritten text with respect to a specific word in an electronic book, determines the new position of the specific word after format adjustments, and calculates a new display position for the handwritten text to ensure it aligns with the adjusted content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the position of handwritten note is recorded based on screen coordinates, then the handwritten note can be displayed at a fixed position, but after format adjustment (font enlargement), the handwritten note does not match the corresponding content in the electronic book
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the handwritten note position dynamic rather than fixed. The system monitors format adjustments (such as font size changes) and automatically recalculates the handwritten note's display position based on the new format parameters. This ensures the handwritten note remains aligned with the corresponding text content even when the electronic book format changes, resolving the contradiction between fixed display position and adaptability to format adjustment.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback by establishing a monitoring mechanism that detects format adjustments in real-time. When format adjustment is detected, the system uses this feedback information to recalculate and update the handwritten note's position accordingly. This feedback loop ensures the handwritten note continuously adapts to format changes while maintaining alignment with the corresponding content, solving the contradiction between ease of operation and adaptability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the handwritten note position is fixed after initial display, then the display interface is simple, but the handwritten note cannot adapt to format adjustments of the electronic book
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-establishing the relationship between handwritten notes and their corresponding text content in the electronic book. The system records the association between handwritten notes and the text they annotate, along with their initial positions. When format adjustment occurs, the system uses this pre-recorded information to quickly recalculate new positions without requiring complex real-time analysis, thus achieving adaptability while controlling system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses an intermediary approach by introducing a position calculation module that acts as a mediator between the format adjustment events and the handwritten note display. This intermediary component handles the complexity of position recalculation based on format parameters, shielding the user from technical complexity while providing adaptive behavior. The intermediary processes format change information and translates it into appropriate position adjustments for handwritten notes.

AI summary
The present disclosure discloses a method for displaying a handwritten note in an electronic book, a computing device and a computer storage medium. Wherein the handwritten note includes a handwritten text, and the method includes: acquiring a handwritten text input by a user, recording a specific word in the electronic book corresponding to the handwritten text and a relative position of the handwritten text with respect to the specific word: when format adjustment of words in the electronic book is monitored, determining a new position of the specific word after the format adjustment; obtaining a new display position of the handwritten text based on the new position of the specific word and the recorded relative position of the handwritten text with respect to the specific word; and determining a display manner of the handwritten text based on the new display position of the handwritten text.
