Abstract:

A first sketch defining a symbol absent from human writing systems is received along with a selection of an electronic resource to which the first sketch is to be mapped. A record is created in an electronic database, the record specifying the mapping between the first sketch and the electronic resource. Subsequently to generating the record, a second sketch is received via a user interface of a client device. A metric of similarity between the first sketch and the second sketch is determined. When the metric corresponds to a certain range of values, an indication of the mapping between the first sketch and the electronic resource is provided via the user interface of the client device, and a command is executed at the client device, using the electronic resource as a parameter.
