Abstract
The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates communicating data utilizing a portable device. An interface component can receive annotation data related to a display associated with a portable device. An annotation component can append a screen shot corresponding to the display with the annotated data to create an annotated screen shot.
Claims17
A system that facilitates communicating data utilizing a portable device having a display screen and a memory containing content currently displayed on the display screen, comprising:
- a memory storing computer-executable instructions of:
- an application that displays current content on the display screen;
- an interface component that
- receives from a user of the portable device an indication to annotate the current content on the display screen;
- and
- after receiving the indication to annotate, receives annotation data related to the current content of the display screen;
- and
- an annotation component that appends a screen snap shot corresponding to the display with the annotated data to create an annotated screen shot by:
- displaying the annotation data over the current content of the display screen to append the annotated data with the current content and
- performing a screen capture to collect from the memory the annotated current content currently displayed on the display screen as the annotated screen snap shot of the display;
- and a processor that executes the computer-executable instructions stored in the memory.
A computer-implemented method that facilitates manipulating data associated with a portable device having a display screen and a memory containing content currently displayed on the display screen, comprising:
- displaying data as current content on the display screen of the portable device, wherein the data is stored in the memory containing content currently displayed on the display screen;
- selecting an annotation data format for annotating the displayed current content;
- initiating data capture in the selected annotation data format to capture data as an annotation for the displayed current content;
- and
- creating an annotated screen snap shot based upon the captured data by performing a screen capture to collect a screen snap shot of the displayed current content from the memory containing content currently displayed on the display screen and appending the collected screen snap shot with the captured data.
A computer storage device containing computer-executable instructions of a computer-implemented system that facilitates communicating data utilizing a portable device having a display screen and a memory containing content currently displayed on the display screen, comprising:
- a component that displays current content on a display screen associated with the portable device;
- a component that receives annotation data related to the display associated with a portable device, the annotated data to be associated with the displayed current content of the display screen;
- a component that displays the received annotation data on the display as an annotation of the current content of the display screen;
- and
- a component that creates an annotated screen snap shot corresponding to the current content of the display screen with annotated data by performing a screen capture of the current content along with the annotated data that is displayed on the display screen.
