Filed:

Oct 1, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/410652

Inventors:

Lisa M. Lippert - Seattle WA
Andrew Sinclair - Redmond WA

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G06F 1700

US Classification:

715513, 707101

Abstract:

Markup language content and content mapping is disclosed. On one embodiment, content is received according to a first predetermined format, such as MAPI. The content is mapped from this format to a second predetermined format which is consistent with a predetermined markup language, such as XML. The second format may also be consistent with a predetermined extension of the markup language, such as the WebDAV extensions to XML. Once mapped, the content is output in the second format.

International Classification:

US Classification:

Abstract:

Systems and methods for web store events. A web store event occurs whenever an item is accessed. When an item is accessed, both synchronous and asynchronous events can fire. If a synchronous event fires, then an event object that has registered for the synchronous event is called and executed before the transaction involving the item is allowed to complete. The synchronous event also has the ability to either commit or abort the transaction. Importantly, the synchronous event has complete control over the item. An asynchronous event is called and executed after the transaction involving the item is already committed to the store and after any synchronous events have executed. Because more than one event object can register for a web store event, synchronous event objects are called according to their priority. Synchronous events fire before asynchronous events and synchronous event objects execute before asynchronous event objects.

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709204, 709203, 709205, 709206, 709207, 709231, 345418, 345419

Abstract:

A presentation system receives streams of videos of a video conference and presents the videos on the faces of a three-dimensional object. The presentation system selects which video should be presented more prominently than the other videos. The presentation system generates an image of the three-dimensional object that represents a view location from which the selected video is prominently visible and videos of other conference participants are less prominently visible. The presentation system then displays the image to the conference participant.

US Classification:

709220, 709243, 380273

Abstract:

Computers on a local computer network, such as a home network or a small business network, are formed into a secured network group that provides common user access control and enables resource sharing among the computers in the group. A computer on the local network discovers whether there are secured network groups existing on the local network. If one secured network group is found, the computer indicates to a second computer in the group its desire to join the group, and establishes trust with that computer, such as by entering a proper user name and password, or a secret identification number. Once the trust is established, the first computer joins the group. Within the secured network group, user accounts and user profiles are replicated to each of the computers in the group. The establishment of trust and the replication of user accounts and profiles among the computers in the group enable the implementation of security policies and user access control in a group-wide manner.

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G10L 15/00

US Classification:

704275, 704235, 704270, 707 3, 707 5

Abstract:

Systems and/or methods (“tools”) are described that enable indexing and storing verbal content, and other techniques. Some of these tools may be enabled using a computer-implemented method that includes receiving events that result from detecting keywords within a stream. In a first operating mode, the tools may create metadata in response to the event. The metadata includes an indication of the detected keyword and a time index indicating where in the stream the keyword was detected. The tools may also merge the metadata with a portion of the stream where the detected keyword occurred. In a second operating mode, the tools may associate data representing the keyword with the time index, and may store a record that includes the keyword and the time index in an output file.

International Classification:

H04M 11/00

US Classification:

379 9321, 455416, 37920201

Abstract:

Techniques are provided for configuring a device. One or more operations are determined in accordance with a scheduled meeting. One or more configurable buttons on the device are provided. Each of the one or more configurable buttons corresponds to one of the operations. Selecting a first of the one or more configurable buttons causes processing to be performed for a first of the operations associated with the first configurable button. The first operation uses information associated with said scheduled meeting.
