Publication number: 20180173389Abstract: A system, computer-readable storage medium, and computer-implemented method for assigning a task based on content presented in a data feed are presented. A data feed that includes a set of content items is presented. Each of the content items included in the data feed may include a graphical user interface element capable of invoking task assignment functionality with respect to each content item. A task based on a content item presented in the data feed may be created and assigned to a selected user in response to receiving a selection of the graphical user interface element. The method may further include generating an individual status report for the user that includes every task assigned to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2017Publication date: June 21, 2018Inventors: Mark Hull, Anand Kishore Bollini, Roland Schemers, Clayton Schubiner, Christopher J.

Patent number: 9954809Abstract: A communication server, computer-readable storage medium and computer-implemented method for executing commands embedded in messages are provided. The method may include detecting user input of a special character while a user is composing a message and in response to detecting the user input of the special character, presenting a selectable list of command operators to the user. The method may further include causing a command operator to be included in the message in response to user selection of the command operator from the selectable list of command operators. The command operator is operative to execute an action performed by a network-based service executing on an application server. The method may further include identifying, at an outbound communication serer, the command operator included in the message, and transmitting a request to the application server to perform the action corresponding thereto.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2017Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Mark Hull, Anand Kishore Bollini, Roland Schemers, Parag Naresh Shah, Yuichi Sasaki, James Andrew Clark
