Digital ink processing system, method, and program

A digital ink processing method executed by a processor configured to generate digital ink describing a stroke or strokes according to an input made by an electronic pen through a display, for use with a content server which stores multiple pieces of content in association with multiple use IDs, the digital ink processing method comprising:

• enabling a pointing operation of the electronic pen relative to the stroke or strokes;
• after enabling the pointing operation of the electronic pen, acquiring a semantic attribute of the stroke or strokes pointed at,
• transmitting data including one of the use IDs and the semantic attribute to the content server to request the content server to perform a search for content based on the data;
• and
• performing control so as to display the content retrieved by the search on the display with the stroke or strokes.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including a digital ink processing program, which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform:

• generating digital ink describing a stroke or strokes according to an input made by an electronic pen through a display;
• enabling a pointing operation of the electronic pen relative to the stroke or strokes;
• after enabling the pointing operation of the electronic pen, acquiring a semantic attribute of the stroke or strokes pointed at,
• accessing a content server which stores multiple pieces of content in association with multiple use IDs, by transmitting data including one of the use IDs and the semantic attribute to the content server to request the content server to perform a search for content based on the data;
• and
• performing control so as to display the content retrieved by the search on the display with the stroke or strokes.
