Examples described herein generally relate to rendering grid-aligned digital ink on a display of a computing device. In an example, the computing device determines grid pattern data associated with a grid pattern displayed on the display and a velocity of the input. Based the grid line pattern data and the velocity, the computing device may render digital ink that is traced along one or more grid lines of the grid pattern.

A verification system or method for detecting whether a CPA device is in a pre-lock position or in a full-lock position relative to the housing based on a scan system's detection that a portion of a predetermined barcode or QR code on the CPA device and another portion of the predetermined barcode or QR code are separated from each other or joined together to form the predetermined barcode or QR code. The CPA device is fully engaged or in full-lock position or status with the housing when the scan system has recognized or determined that the portion of the predetermined barcode or QR code on the CPA device and the another portion of the predetermined barcode or QR code on the housing within a scan window are joined together to form the complete or full predetermined barcode or QR code.

The present disclosure is a part identification and location system that has a server and a handheld device, and the handheld device is communicatively coupled to the server via a network. Further, the system has a handheld device processor that displays a plurality of graphical user interfaces to the handheld device and receives data from a user of the handheld device identifying a system, subsystem, or part that the user desires to purchase. Additionally, a server processor searches for the desired system, subsystem, or part on a plurality of part databases, locating one or more parts that match the system, subsystem, or part the user desires. The handheld device processor displays a list of the system, subsystems or parts located, receives data indicating which system, subsystem, or part the user desires to purchase, and receives payment data for purchasing the system, subsystem, or part.

A system for object and information collection comprises a handheld tool to grab the object. The handheld tool comprises a trigger, a grabber mechanism, and a switch, wherein a user actuates the trigger to pick up an object with the grabber mechanism, and the switch causes transmission of a capture signal to initiate a classification event. A classification application executing on a processor is responsive to receiving the capture signal to capture information associated with the object and assign an object classification to the object based at least in part on the captured information.

An apparatus to perform functions on media content items comprises a camera, a communication interface, and a selector input device. The selector input device is communicatively coupled to the camera and the communication interface and has a function setting. In response to detecting activation of the selector input device, the camera captures a media content item and the communication interface transmits the media content item to the server for function processing. The selector input device can be a rotary wheel. To select the function setting from the plurality of settings, the user can rotate the rotary wheel to a function setting and press the rotary wheel. Other embodiments are described herein.

A method for creating handwriting content is provided. The method includes displaying handwriting letters being input, extracting at least one candidate handwriting word stored in advance in response to the input handwriting letters, displaying the extracted at least one candidate handwriting word, and replacing the input handwriting letters with a candidate handwriting word selected from among the displayed at least one candidate handwriting word.

Embodiments generally relate to a machine-implemented method of automatically adjusting the range of a depth data recording executed by at least one processing device. The method comprises determining, by the at least one processing device, at least one positions of a subject to be recorded; determining, by the at least one processing device, at least one spatial range based on the positions of the subject; receiving depth information; and constructing, by the at least one processing device, a depth data recording based on the received depth information limited by the at least one spatial range.
