Patent number: 9063637Abstract: A document authoring program provides different views of a document opened by a user. In the editing view, the user can view the document contents and edit the contents in using a menu bar. In the semantic zoom view, the user is presented with a heading pane and a thumbnail pane and the menu bar is removed. The user can toggle from the editing view to the semantic zoom view by zooming out past a defined threshold using various user interface controls. Once the threshold is exceeded, the semantic view is presented. The editing view is returned to by selecting a heading or a thumbnail page, which respectively returns the user the page incorporating the selected heading or to the page incorporating the selected heading. This page will be displayed in the editing view at the same zoom level prior to toggling to the semantic zoom view.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2011Date of Patent: June 23, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Michelle Elena Lisse, Aaron Alexander Selig

Publication number: 20140006944Abstract: A visual help user interface (UI) to help a user learn a product's capability and inputs needed to achieve a given action is provided. The visual help (UI) may be launched via a trigger and may overlay a software application with a graphical user interface (GUI). A trigger may include detection of a user action associated with a given action in an application, receiving a command sequence associated with the given action, or receiving a request for help by a user. The visual help UI may be utilized to demonstrate a feature, to suggest or demonstrate a work flow, or to teach a gesture. The visual help UI may be animated to imply interaction and may demonstrate a suggested workflow or input sequence using a user's content in the application GUI.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2012Publication date: January 2, 2014Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Aaron Alexander Selig, Darshan Keshavlal Bavaria

Publication number: 20130283199Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products for facilitating access to an application or action directly from a lock screen user interface while interacting with a (mobile) computing device are disclosed. Such systems, methods and computer program products provide a multi-stage approach—a first user input-based component (e.g., touch, swipe, voice commands) within a security user interface (e.g., lock screen user interface) followed by a second application or action-based component (e.g., action shortcut and/or action) launched directly from the security user interface. That is, to deactivate the lock screen user interface, the user provides an authorized user input at the computing device. Second, to access the application or action, an application or action shortcut user interface is automatically displayed or the application or action is automatically launched; both directly from the lock screen user interface without requiring any additional user interaction.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2012Publication date: October 24, 2013Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Aaron Alexander Selig, Il Yeo
