Publication number: 20090100331Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for allowing an advertiser or other user to create high-end advertisements via a plurality of software-based, predefined templates. The templates may include a timer for counting down the temporal length of an advertisement. Upon countdown of the timer to zero, the advertisement may terminate and automatically flow-through to the underlying content. The present system further provides a user interface allowing a user to interact with and configure the templates, thus allowing the user to control the appearance, flow, interactivity, transitions, timer, etc. of the advertisement. In addition to controlling these parameters, the templates also allow a user to associate one or more content files, or assets, with an advertisement. Thus, an advertiser may easily incorporate a video or other content into an advertisement.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2008Publication date: April 16, 2009Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Aaron Sauve, Mike Van Flandern, Eddie Fusaro, John Elsbree, Chris Meyer, Daniel L.

Publication number: 20070233646Abstract: Various embodiments enable a web site to expose various search providers that it promotes to browsers that navigate to that site. In at least some embodiments, the search providers are exposed using the HTML of a web page. When a browser navigates to that site, it processes the HTML of the associated web page and exposes the promoted search providers to the user. In at least some embodiments, the browser can permit use of one or more search providers without requiring the user to install the search provider. Alternately or additionally, in at least some other embodiments, the browser can enable the user to quickly and efficiently install the search provider so that the search provider can be available whenever the user uses their browser application.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2006Publication date: October 4, 2007Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Aaron Sauve, Amar Gandhi, Bruce Morgan, Carlos Yeung, Prashant Singh
