US 2019/0163343 A1 · DISPLAYING A PASTE PREVIEW THAT CAN BE RE-POSITIONED PRIOR TO A PASTE OPERATION

Abstract

In some examples, a computing device may include a first and a second touchscreen display device. A first document may be displayed on the first touchscreen and a second document may be displayed on the second touchscreen. A stylus may be used to select and copy content from the first document to a clipboard application. After receiving a preview command, the computing device may determine a first location of a tip of the stylus and display a preview of the content near the first location. The computing device may determine that the tip of the stylus has moved from the first location to a second location and move the preview of the content to be near the second location. After receiving a paste instruction from the stylus, the computing device may paste the content near the second location.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

receiving, via a communication link established between a computing device and a stylus, at the computing device comprising a first touch-sensitive display device and a second touch-sensitive display device, a preview command from the stylus;
determining, by the computing device, a first location of a tip of the stylus on one of the first touch-sensitive display device or the second touch-sensitive display device;
displaying, by the computing device, a preview of stored content, the preview displayed near the first location of the tip of the stylus;
determining, by the computing device, that the tip of the stylus has moved from the first location to a second location on one of the first touch-sensitive display device or the second touch-sensitive display device;
moving, by the computing device, the preview of the stored content to near the second location;
receiving, via the communication link, by the computing device, a paste instruction;
and
pasting, by the computing device, the content into a target document, according to the received paste instruction.

5 more elements

A computing device comprising:

a first touchscreen display;
a second touchscreen display;
one or more hinges coupling the first touchscreen display to the second touchscreen display, wherein the one or more hinges enable the first touchscreen display to be placed at an angle between 0 degrees and 360 degrees relative to the second touchscreen display;
a communication interface communicatively linked to a stylus;
one or more processors;
and
one or more non-transitory computer readable media storing instructions executable by the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
displaying a second document on the second touchscreen display;
receiving a preview command from the stylus;
determining a first location of a tip of the stylus on the second touchscreen display;
displaying, near the first location on the second touchscreen display, a preview of stored content;
determining that the tip of the stylus has moved from the first location to a second location on the second touch-sensitive display device;
moving the preview of the stored content from near the first location to near the second location;
receiving, from the stylus, a paste instruction;
and
pasting the stored content into the second document, according to the paste instruction.
