Patent number: 11538442Abstract: A method of presenting visual information to a user includes detecting a position of a display relative to a surrounding environment, detecting movement of the display relative to the surrounding environment in real time, and updating a present of visual information on the display relative to a virtual reference frame updated in real time based upon the movement of the display relative to the surrounding environment.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2018Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Kae-Ling Jacquline Gurr, Young Soo Kim, Ryan Eugene Whitaker, Aaron Naoyoshi Sheung Yan Woo, Bryan Kim Mamaril

Patent number: 10706269Abstract: One or more images including a user's face are captured, and at least one of these images is displayed to the user. These image(s) are used by a face-recognition algorithm to identify or recognize the face in the image(s). The face-recognition algorithm recognizes various features of the face and displays an indication of at least one of those features while performing the face-recognition algorithm. These indications of features can be, for example, dots displayed on the captured image. Additionally, an indication of progress of the face-recognition algorithm is displayed near the user's face. This indication of progress of the face-recognition algorithm can be, for example, a square or other geometric shape in which at least a portion of the user's face is located.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2019Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Brigitte Evelyn Eder, Aaron Naoyoshi Sheung Yan Woo, Remi Wesley Ogundokun, Benjamin Alan Goosman

Patent number: 10606924Abstract: A contextual file manager is described herein. Contextual information regarding files and folders of a file system of an operating system is collected. The contextual information may be collected from a variety of different sources, such as contents of the file or folder, an application associated with the file, a service provider, or a cloud storage service. The contextual information is then exposed in a file system interface of the operating system along with representations of the files and folders. In some cases, the contextual information is exposed in response to detection of an intuitive user action to a representation of one of the files or folders via the file system interface.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2016Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Raju Jain, Anshul Rawat, Aaron Naoyoshi Sheung Yan Woo, Elizabeth Picchietti Salowitz, Mohammed Amirali Samji, David Ben Perry, Robert Paul St. Pierre, John Heinrich Lueders

Patent number: 10402375Abstract: A cloud content states framework is described herein. In implementations, a framework is configured to perform operations for management of cloud content files at the computing device on behalf of cloud storage providers. The framework is operable to manage states for cloud content files accessible from multiple cloud storage services. The framework also manages and outputs state indicators with file system representations of the cloud content files. The states include at least a set of primary states indicative of synchronization status controlled by the framework. The states may also include custom states associated with cloud storage services that are defined via an interface exposed by the framework. In operation, states associated with cloud content files are recognized in connection with rendering a user interface with cloud content file representations. Then, state indicators that reflect the recognized states are exposed along with cloud content file representations in the user interface.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2016Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Raju Jain, Robert P. St. Pierre, David Ben Perry, Mohammed Amirali Samji, Elizabeth P. Salowitz, Aaron Naoyoshi Sheung Yan Woo, Anshul Rawat, John H. Lueders

Publication number: 20180329610Abstract: Techniques for object selection mode are described. In one or more implementations, digital content is generated as an interactive canvas, and the interactive canvas is displayed on one or more display devices of a computing device. Additional digital content is also displayed on the interactive canvas as one or more objects. The one or more objects are anchored to the interactive canvas in an anchor mode which prevents user input to the interactive canvas from being interpreted as input to manipulate the one or more objects. A trigger event to trigger an object selection mode is detected, and an object selection mode is initiated in response to the trigger event. The object selection mode causes user input to the interactive canvas to be interpreted as input to manipulate the one or more objects.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2017Publication date: November 15, 2018Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Eduardo SONNINO, Anthony DART, Ryan Chandler PENDLAY, Jason M.

Patent number: 9665702Abstract: In embodiments of restricted execution modes, a mobile device can display a device lock screen on an integrated display device, and transition from the device lock screen to display a shared space user interface of a shared space. The transition to display the shared space user interface is without receiving a PIN code entered on the device lock screen. The mobile device implements a restricted execution service that is implemented to activate a restricted execution mode of the mobile device, and restrict access of a device application to device content while the restricted execution mode is activated. The restricted execution service can also allow a shared device application that is included in the shared space access to the device content while the restricted execution mode is activated.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2015Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Joseph Spencer King, Michael Burt Goulding, Todd Myles Derksen, Aaron Naoyoshi Sheung Yan Woo, Bernardo Iturriaga Dubost, Alan Bennett Auerbach, David A.
