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

Patent number: 10402311Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to smarter code review tools. More specifically, some embodiments relate to code review tools that include the ability to perform a “rebased” diff of code iterations. As a result, the code review tool has the ability to diff a file from a first iteration (e.g., iteration1) that was based on an initial base file (i.e., baseFile1), against updates from a second iteration (i.e., iteration2) that was based on an updated base file (i.e., baseFile2) without identifying the differences that occur between the initial base file and the updated base file. This allows a reviewer to view only the differences that the author of the code review made between successive iterations while filtering out or suppressing the extra noise that occurs because of updates to the base file.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2017Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jason Buckingham, Josue Leobardo Noriega de la Vega, Fred Monteiro da Cruz Filho, Christopher James Antos

Patent number: 10057226Abstract: 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 may be configured into a public mode of operation, in which content and metadata are synchronized automatically, or into a private mode of operation, in which metadata is synchronized automatically and content is synchronized only at the request of the user. The authoring application may edit documents offline in public or private mode.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2014Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jonathan Beckett Bailor, Ethan Joseph Bernstein, Mark Rolland Knight, Christopher James Antos

Patent number: 8028229Abstract: Methods and systems of merging a first document with at least a second document to generate a third document. Each of the first and second documents includes at least one data unit. Each data unit is associated with a unit identifier and an edit identifier. The unit identifiers of each of the documents are compared to the unit identifiers of the other document to determine whether each unit identifier is a matching or non-matching unit identifier. Edit identifiers of the data units associated with the matching unit identifiers are compared to each other. Data units associated with the non-matching unit identifiers are inserted directly into the third document. Data units associated with the matching unit identifiers and the matching edit identifiers are inserted directly into the third document. Data units associated with the matching unit identifiers and the non-matching edit identifiers are merged into the third document.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2007Date of Patent: September 27, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jonathan Beckett Bailor, Ethan Joseph Bernstein, Mark Rolland Knight, Christopher James Antos
