Patent number: 8635293Abstract: Described are systems and user interfaces for facilitating asynchronous communication with video threads. Implementations may enable members of a team to have threaded view of video messages, from which they can capture video, record their screen, and send, receive, and reply to a video message. The screen recording feature enables team members to share parts of their screen while simultaneously narrating, if desired. Video messages are threaded by topic and each conversation is visually represented.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2011Date of Patent: January 21, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Danyel Fisher, Aaron Hoff, Mary Czerwinski, Kori Inkpen Quinn, Jeremy Barksdale, Paul Johns, Asta Roseway, Gina Venolia, John Tang

Patent number: 8196047Abstract: Techniques are described for generating a user interface for visualizing a cloud service based on status and performance data of the cloud service obtained from data stores. A configuration file including declarative code may declare particular queries to status/performance data sources. The configuration file may also declare particular queries to topology data sources to obtain topology information. In accordance with the obtained information, objects representing the cloud service may be displayed. The objects correspond to particular hardware and software components, or logical grouping thereof, that are identified by the topology information.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2009Date of Patent: June 5, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Danyel Fisher, Aaron Hoff, George Robertson, Heather Warncke, Mary Czerwinski, Albert Greenberg, Dave Maltz, Xiaoyu Wang
