Patent number: 10936548Abstract: Systems, components, devices, and methods for synchronizing files between a local file system and a server are provided. In an example, synchronization of individual files is paused by placing the individual files in a hold state. A non-limiting example method accesses a file stored on the local file system for synchronization with an associated file on the server and determines whether differences between the file and the associated file prevent synchronization. When determined that differences between the file and the associated file prevent synchronization, the method places the file in a hold state. The hold state pauses synchronization of the content in the file with the content of the associated file. In some examples, the method continues to synchronize topological changes to files that have been placed in the hold state and/or resumes synchronization after it is determined that the file is no longer different than the associated file.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2016Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Yisheng Chen, Amnon Itamar Govrin, Francisco Jose Garcia-Ascanio, Jack Allen Nichols

Patent number: 10699171Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and machine readable mediums which provide for an automatic image scaling that may be utilized in a variety of contexts, including for scaling images inserted into documents. The image may be scaled based upon one or more scaling features that may be utilized alone or in combination. Scaling features may be described by scaling feature categories, although as will be appreciated, the scaling features may be placed in one or more categories. Example feature categories may include image characteristics; image content; content of the document and context of the image within the document; past user behavior and preferences; and the like.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2018Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Amnon Itamar Govrin, Erez Kikin Gil, Keri Talbot, Aleta Bashaw

Patent number: 10264039Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to file system placeholders. In aspects, placeholders may be used by a client to represent remote file system objects. The placeholders may include metadata and may also include none, some, or all of the content of the represented remote file system objects. In response to a request to access content of a file system object represented by a placeholder, a client may obtain needed data from a remote storage system and stream or not stream the data to the requesting application based on whether the requesting application is capable of streaming the data.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2016Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Michael John Novak, Chris Guzak, Sangeeta Ranjit, Scott David Hoogerwerf, Amnon Itamar Govrin, Kiernon Reiniger, David C. Fields, Ramanarayanan Ramani, Raghu Krishnamurhty, Subha Santhanam, Oded Yehuda Shekel

Patent number: 9734158Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to file system placeholders. In aspects, placeholders may be used by a client to represent remote file system objects. The placeholders may include metadata, searchable text, and may also include none, some, or all of the content of the represented remote file system objects. Search data from the placeholders is integrated into a local search database of the client such that the client is able to satisfy queries and identify relevant local and remote file system objects even when the client is offline with respect to remote storage.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2015Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Michael John Novak, Chris Guzak, Sangeeta Ranjit, Scott David Hoogerwerf, Amnon Itamar Govrin, Marc Wautier, Kiernon Reiniger, Kyle Thomas Beck, Relja Ivanovic, Oded Yehuda Shekel, Tyler Kien Beam

Patent number: 9552363Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to file system placeholders. In aspects, placeholders may be used by a client to represent remote file system objects. The placeholders may include metadata and may also include none, some, or all of the content of the represented remote file system objects. In conjunction with local file system metadata, the placeholders allow a file system namespace to be navigated and may also allow other operations to be performed on the file system objects even when the client is offline with respect to the remote file system. After connectivity is re-established with the remote file system, the placeholders may be used in synchronizing changes.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2013Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Michael John Novak, Chris Guzak, Sangeeta Ranjit, Scott David Hoogerwerf, Amnon Itamar Govrin, Marc Wautier, Kiernon Reiniger, Ramanarayanan Ramani, Oded Yehuda Shekel, Relja Ivanovic
