Patent number: 11756442Abstract: A method is described. Recorded data capable of being consciously experienced by a user through a sensory form is represented as an indexed digital sequence and maintaining the indexed digital sequence in a storage device. The data is provided to the user via an output device capable of reproducing the data in the sensory form while the user is monitored with a monitor device for a point at which a non-conscious stimuli, as evoked by the user in reaction to the providing of the data, is captured. The stimuli as captured by the monitor device is paired using a processing device with a portion of the data corresponding to the point at which the stimuli was evoked and the data in the storage is reorganized with the processing device as categorized by the stimuli.

Patent number: 11726801Abstract: The present disclosure provides techniques for management of user interface elements based on historical configuration data. Use of historical configuration data to render user interface elements improves usability of graphical user interfaces by maintaining a consistent user experience. The states of user interface objects in a hosting environment are retained as historical configuration data and linked to a hosting environment profile. When the same or similar hosting environment is detected, the user interface elements are rendered based on the historical configuration data. For example, the last positions of windows in a particular monitor topology are stored as historical configuration data linked to that monitor topology. The windows are returned to their previous positions when a computing device is next configured with the same or similar monitor topology.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2021Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Anna Marion Pfoertsch, Karina Jennifer Chang, Evan Russell Koschik, Bret P.
