Publication number: 20180113979Abstract: A facility for processing data update messages is described. The facility establishes a plurality of units of execution each for executing data update message processing code. The facility receives data update messages from a plurality of sending devices, and assigns each received data update message to a unit of execution without regard for which sending device it was received from. In each unit of execution, the facility executes the code to process the received data update messages to which it is assigned.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2016Publication date: April 26, 2018Inventors: Enez A.

Patent number: 8810595Abstract: The claimed subject matter relates to an architecture that can support a declarative model-based approach to designing, constructing, and rendering visualizations. By complying with a declarative descriptor, components can be readily customized by way of modifications to the model—declaratively specifying suitable features, behaviors, appearances and so forth. The descriptors that conform to the model can also facilitate connecting to various data sources and performing data transformation operations. Moreover, the descriptors that conform to the model can declaratively specify relationships based upon a scene layout. Accordingly, the architecture can further describe the scene layout and provide features based upon the layout.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2008Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Morten Holm-Peterson, Christian Olaf Abeln, Thomas Michael Casey, Stella Yick Chan, Benjamin L.

Patent number: 8677235Abstract: Technologies are described herein for ranking visualization types. In order to rank the visualization types, visualization metadata is generated for each of the visualization types and data set metadata is generated for the data set. A suitability score is then computed based upon the visualization metadata and the data set metadata through the use of data mapping rules and chart selection rules. The visualization types are then ranked according to the computed scores. A user interface may then be displayed that includes visual representations corresponding to the visualization types that are ordered according to the ranking. One of the visual representations may then be selected to apply the corresponding visualization type to the data set.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2008Date of Patent: March 18, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Benjamin L Chronister, Daniel Philip Cory, David Benjamin Lee

Publication number: 20130110542Abstract: This patent relates to patient data and more specifically to accessing and managing patient data. One example can generate a user interface from which a user can select predefined entities for use by a health care management application, wherein the entities abstract the health care management application from underlying patient data. This example can allow the user to select an individual predefined entity from the list or define a different entity on the user interface. This example can also enable the user to associate the individual entity or the different entity with a semantic tag.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2011Publication date: May 2, 2013Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Jayaram R. Iyer, Benjamin L. Chronister, Jay W. Daugherty, David R. Stelts, JR., Peter G. Burns, Bryan Dove, Kishore R. Chaliparambil, Mahmood G. Qadir, Mehul Y. Shah

Patent number: 8358308Abstract: Various types of data can be collected into a data set and related content and/or related concepts across the data in the data set and/or across search histories can be displayed as a visual representation. The related content/concepts can be presented as a function of incremental revealing of relationships. After reviewing the visual representation, a user can customize the data set and relationships by specifically excluding a related data segment. The visual representation can be applied across multiple searches or other obtained data. Through interaction with the visual representation, a user can drill down into common linkages of the data to more narrowly focus on a subset of the data and/or to refocus a search result and/or to provide annotations.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2008Date of Patent: January 22, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: George G. Robertson, Danyel A. Fisher, Bongshin Lee, Roland L. Fernandez, Lev Boris Nachmanson, Timothy Garry Dwyer, Mikkel Ronne Jakobsen, Olga Kulyk, Matthew Jay Kotler, Kipper V. Jewsbury, Brian L. Welcker, Gur Kimchi, Morten Holm-Peterson, Stella Yick Chan, Jason J. Weber, B. Scott Ruble, Murali R. Krishnan, Benjamin L. Chronister, Christian Olaf Abeln

Patent number: 8214765Abstract: The claimed subject matter relates to an architecture that can construct a map for summarizing analyses with respect to data included in a database. In addition, the architecture can display the map in a special canvas area. Generally, the map is a hub-and-spoke-style map in which a hub is associated with an entity (e.g., a related set of records) included in a database. Likewise, the spokes are typically representative of operations (e.g., filter, join, transform) that act upon the hub/entity from which it extends. The map can aid with open-ended analysis on complex databases by recording and ordering competing hypotheses and can also further collaborative efforts with respect to analysis.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2008Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Morten Holm-Petersen, George G. Robertson, Christian Olaf Abeln, Thomas Michael Casey, Stella Yick Chan, Benjamin L. Chronister, Ian Michael Dunmore, Roland Fernandez, Danyel Fisher, David Francis Gainer, Alexandre Gorev, Ahmed Kamal, Matthew Jay Kotler, Murali R. Krishnan, Bongshin Lee, Greg Schechter, Curtis G.

Publication number: 20090327921Abstract: Modifications to a collection of data are maintained in chronological order and selectively rendered as a function of time. The selective rendering can include an animated version of the modification, which can include a timeline of events. The modifications can be associated with related data that includes information as to who made the modification, when the modification was made, and so forth. The related data can also include a motivation behind the modification. Further, confidence information can be related to the modification to add further detail to the modifications and events surrounding the collection of data.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2008Publication date: December 31, 2009Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Morten Holm-Peterson, George G. Robertson, William G. Morein, Jason J. Weber, Danyel Aharon Fisher, Gur Kimchi, Benjamin Edward Rampson, Ahmed K. Kamal, Kipper Jewsbury, Benjamin L. Chronister, Roland L.
