Abstract

Methods, devices, and systems described herein electronically detect a user-generated symbol that is drawn alongside and/or on pre-existing content shown on an output device. As determination is made as to whether the user-generated symbol is previously associated by a device with a defined operation that is to be performed by the device with the pre-existing content responsive to detecting the user-generated symbol. Responsive to determining that the user-generated symbol is not previously associated with the defined operation, a previously non-associated operation that is to be performed by the device with the pre-existing content is determined and implemented on the pre-existing content with the device to generate output provided to a user of the device.
