System and method of guiding handwriting diagram input

A method for guiding hand-drawing of diagrams including text and non-text element types on a computing device, the computing device comprising a processor and at least one non-transitory computer readable medium for detecting and recognizing hand-drawing diagram element input under control of the processor, the method comprising:

• inputting, on an input area of an interactive display of the computing device:
• a hand-drawing diagram element, and
• a selection gesture;
• classifying the hand-drawing diagram element as a first type element;
• recognizing the first type hand-drawing diagram element based on the classification;
• displaying, on the interactive display:
• a digital ink of the hand-drawing diagram element,
• a dynamic prompter which dynamically depicts at least one recognized form of the hand-drawing diagram element,
• wherein the dynamic prompter is displayed in response to selecting, via the selection gesture, the digital ink of the hand-drawing diagram element;
• and
• a manual classification action;
• selecting the manual classification action in response to receiving interaction with the dynamic prompter;
• re-classifying the hand-drawing diagram element as being a second type element, in response to said selection;
• and
• re-recognizing of the hand-drawing diagram element in response to re-classification;
• wherein the dynamic prompter is configured to cause depiction of a recognized form of the re-recognized hand-drawing diagram element.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having a computer readable program code embodied therein, said computer readable program code adapted to be executed to implement a method for guiding hand-drawing of diagrams including text and non-text element types on a computing device, the computing device comprising a processor and at least one non-transitory computer readable medium for detecting and recognizing hand-drawing diagram element input under control of the processor, the method comprising:

• inputting, on an input area of an interactive display of the computing device:
• a hand-drawing diagram element, and
• a selection gesture;
• classifying the hand-drawing diagram element as either text or non-text;
• recognizing the hand-drawing diagram element based on the classification;
• displaying, on the interactive display:
• a digital ink of the hand-drawing diagram element,
• a dynamic prompter which dynamically depicts at least one recognized form of the hand-drawing diagram element,
• wherein the dynamic prompter is displayed in response to selecting, via the selection gesture, the digital ink of the hand-drawing diagram element;
• and
• a manual classification action;
• selecting the manual classification action in response to receiving interaction with the dynamic prompter;
• re-classifying of a text element or a non-text element as being non-text or text element respectively, in response to said selection;
• and
• re-recognizing of the hand-drawing diagram element being performed based on the re-classification, in response to re-classification;
• wherein the dynamic prompter is configured to cause depiction of a recognized form of the re-recognized hand-drawing diagram element.
