Patent number: 11455459Abstract: A collaborative authoring application provides an authoring environment in which two or more users can edit a document concurrently. Each user edits a copy of the document, sends updates to a master copy of the document, and receives updates from the master copy of the document. The authoring environment generally inhibits the users from providing conflicting editing instructions to the master copy of the document. For example, each user can generate a content lock about one or more data units within the document. The authoring environment may synchronize content locks automatically and content only at the request of the user.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2019Date of Patent: September 27, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jonathan Beckett Bailor, Ethan Joseph Bernstein, Mark Rolland Knight, Christopher James Antos, Andrew Richard Simonds, Brian Michael Jones, Simon Peter Clarke, Edgar Mark Sunderland, David Benjamin Robins, Miko Arnab Sakhya Singha Bose

Publication number: 20150200786Abstract: Techniques for accessing and configuring meeting attributes are described. In at least some embodiments, a meeting object is leveraged to store meeting attributes and pointers to meeting-related content. A meeting object, for instance, can serve as a manifest for meeting attributes. According to various embodiments, different entities (e.g., applications, services, and so forth) can access a meeting object to ascertain and/or configure meeting attributes for a meeting. For instance, a meeting application programming interface (API) can be employed to enable different entities to interact with a meeting object in various ways.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2014Publication date: July 16, 2015Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Nathaniel W.
