US Patent:

7383326, Jun 3, 2008
Filed:

Dec 5, 2002
Appl. No.:

10/310324
Inventors:

Andrew M. Himberger - Redmond WA, US
Marcin D. Szuster - Bellevue WA, US
Tracey M. Gauthier - Kirkland WA, US
Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:

G06F 15/177
US Classification:

709220, 709203, 709217, 709219, 709223, 709245, 717169, 717170, 717171, 717172, 717173
Abstract:

Methods, computer systems, and computer readable media provide for network location overrides for a client to utilize when accessing network hosted services. A client computer obtains network locations for hosted services from a network location, such as a URL of a configuration server. Any overrides providing different network locations for one or more of the hosted services are obtained from a store of the client computer, such as from a system registry provided by the operating system. The network location of an override is then used in place of a network location specified at the configuration server to access the hosted service. The overrides may apply for all applications, certain applications, certain services of an application, or for certain users of the client computer.

US Patent:

20040111621, Jun 10, 2004
Filed:

Dec 5, 2002
Appl. No.:

10/310269
Inventors:

Andrew Himberger - Redmond WA, US
Chris Pearo - Seattle WA, US
Lucas Forschler - Kirkland WA, US
Stillman Saunders - Sammamish WA, US
Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation
International Classification:

H04L009/00
US Classification:

713/182000, 713/201000
Abstract:

Methods and systems authenticate a user of a sub-location of a network location by using a first cookie for authentication within the network location, such as a domain of the world wide web, and also use a second cookie for authentication within a sub-location of the network location. When the user attempts to visit a network location or sub-location within the network location, the server of the network location authenticates the user by obtaining a previously stored cookie from the user's computer and validating it for the network location. Upon being authenticated by the validation, a cookie for a sub-location within the network location is generated for the user and provided to the user's computer. When the user attempts to access the sub-location within the network location, the cookie provided to the user's computer for the sub-location is obtained and validated to authenticate the user for the sub-location.

US Patent:

20130124952, May 16, 2013
Filed:

Nov 16, 2011
Appl. No.:

13/297697
Inventors:

Peter Frem - Redmond WA, US
Said Abou-Hallawa - Redmond WA, US
Andrew Himberger - Woodinville WA, US
Susan Baker - Snohomish WA, US
Malia Douglas - Seattle, WA, US
Caitlin Ashley-Rollman - Redmond WA, US
Assignee:

MICROSOFT CORPORATION - Redmond WA
International Classification:

G06F 17/00
US Classification:

715202
Abstract:

Techniques for the automatic animation of document content are described. An apparatus may comprise a difference component operative to receive an old layout of a document and a new layout of the document, the new layout corresponding to an application of one or more changes to the old layout of the document, the difference component operative to determine a set of differences between the old layout and the new layout, and an animation layer generation component operative to generate a set of animation layers from the set of differences. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Low Resolution Placeholder Content For Document Navigation

US Patent:

20130185633, Jul 18, 2013
Filed:

Jan 16, 2012
Appl. No.:

13/350838
Inventors:

Benjamin J. Bunker - Maple Valley WA, US
Andrew Himberger - Woodinville WA, US
Michael I. Borysenko - Redmond WA, US
Peter Frem - Redmond WA, US
Daniel Perkins - Seattle WA, US
Assignee:

MICROSOFT CORPORATION - Redmond WA
International Classification:

G06F 17/00
US Classification:

715246
Abstract:

Architecture generates low resolution placeholder content that preserves the usefulness of application responsiveness by preserving and displaying the structure of the content. This facilitates decreased memory requirements associated with pre-rendering structurally-intact content. The architecture enables the storing of pre-rendered content at a lower zoom level than is intended for actual display to require fewer resources, pre-rendering content at a lower zoom level to allow the application to adjust for the lower zoom level to provide more structural integrity than would be achieved rendering at full display zoom level and compressing the resulting data, stretching the pre-rendered content to the zoom level that is intended for display in order to achieve a low resolution appearance that merges directly with the full resolution content, and transitioning between low resolution content and full resolution content when the full resolution content becomes available.

Conversation Modification For Enhanced User Interaction

US Patent:

20170063760, Mar 2, 2017
Filed:

Aug 24, 2015
Appl. No.:

14/833748
Inventors:

- Redmond WA, US
Mark Sunderland - Redmond WA, US
Andrew Himberger - Redmond WA, US
Tali Roth - Redmond WA, US
Matthew Wood - Bellevue WA, US
Ryan Gregg - Redmond WA, US
David De La Brena - Redmond WA, US
Malia Douglas - Seattle WA, US
International Classification:

H04L 12/58
Abstract:

Technologies are described for modification of conversation presentation for enhanced user experience. Parts of the conversation may be detected and analyzed for their properties such as who sent a message, who received, when, was anyone left out from or added to the conversation, etc. The extracted properties and analyzed information may then be used to reverse a chronological order of the conversation and present it using interactive features such as collapsing and expanding parts of the presented information, providing a summary, removing unnecessary content, and comparable features.

Filed:

Jan 22, 2014
Appl. No.:

14/160746
Inventors:

- Redmond WA, US
Michael I. Borysenko - Redmond WA, US
Umut Alev - Mercer Island WA, US
Matt Wood - Sammamish WA, US
Andrew Michael Himberger - Woodinville WA, US
Ethan Joseph Bernstein - Sammamish WA, US

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:

G06F 3/0484
H04L 12/24
G06F 3/0488
H04L 12/58
Abstract:

Systems, methods, and software are described herein to facilitate the enhanced updating of user interfaces to a service. In an implementation, an application renders a user interface to a service and an initial visualization is surfaced in response to the occurrence of an event. After surfacing the initial visualization, the application receives an update from the service that includes a proposed visualization and determines whether or not the proposed visualization accounts for the event. If the proposed visualization accounts for the event, the proposed visualization is surfaced in place of the initial visualization. But if the proposed visualization does not account for the event, the initial visualization may be persisted until another visualization is identified that accounts for the event.
