Abstract

Improved techniques for interacting with one or more handheld carriers hosting media content are disclosed. The handheld carrier hosting media content may be sensed, and at least a portion of the media content may be integrated into operation of a media activity provided by a computing device, upon recognizing the media activity and the media content. The media activity provided by the computing device may involve creating or editing an electronic document. The integration of the media content into operation of the media activity may involve insertion or importation of the media content into the electronic document.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program code that, when executed by a processor of a recipient computing device, causes the recipient computing device to:
