Automated handwriting input for entry fields

An apparatus, comprising:

• an input device that accepts user handwriting input;
• a display;
• a processor operatively coupled to the display and the input device;
• and
• a memory that stores instructions executable by the processor to:
• detect, at the display surface, a location of the display surface associated with initiation of a handwriting input;
• determine a location of an entry field in a document rendered on the display surface, the location of the entry field being associated with a display surface location;
• determine a distance between the location of the surface associated with initiation of the handwriting input and the location of entry field;
• and
• automatically insert the handwriting input into the entry field after determining the distance is less than a threshold value.

A computer program product, comprising:

• a storage device having code stored therewith and executable by a processor, the code comprising:
• code that detects, at a display surface of a device accepting handwriting input, a location of the display surface associated with initiation of a handwriting input;
• code that determines, using a processor, a location of an entry field in a document rendered on the display surface, the location of the entry field being associated with a display surface location;
• code that determines, using a processor, a distance between the location of the surface associated with initiation of the handwriting input and the location of entry field;
• and
• code that automatically inserts the handwriting input into the entry field after determining the distance is less than a threshold value.
