Data entry system with drawing recognition

A computer-implemented method of data entry comprising:

• storing at a memory an image for display to a user;
• receiving drawing input as a result of the user drawing at a location of the displayed image;
• computing image analysis of the image to compute one or more object classes of objects depicted at the location in the image;
• recognizing the drawing input as being in a computed graphical item class of a plurality of pre-specified graphical item classes by analyzing a shape of the drawing input and by using information about the computed object classes of the one or more objects depicted at the drawing input location in the image;
• and
• offering at least one graphical item of the computed graphical item class for input to the electronic device.

One or more device-readable media with device-executable instructions that, when executed by a computing system, direct the computing system to perform operations comprising:

• storing at a memory a video for display to a user;
• receiving drawing input as a result of the user drawing at a location of the displayed video;
• computing image analysis of the video to compute one or more object classes of objects depicted at the location in the video;
• recognizing the drawing input as being in a computed graphical item class of a plurality of pre-specified graphical item classes by analyzing a shape of the drawing input and by using information about the computed object classes of the one or more objects depicted at the drawing input location in the video;
• and
• offering at least one graphical item of the computed graphical item class for input to the electronic device.
