Publication number: 20240095051Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for generating a usage model for predicting user commands in an app. One method includes receiving model information from client devices. The model is obtained at each client device by training a machine-learning program with app usage data. The server generates synthetic data using the models from the client devices. A machine-learning program is trained using the synthetic data to obtain a global model, which receives as input information about recent commands entered on the app and generates an output with a prediction for the next command expected to be received by the app. The information of the global model is transmitted to a first client device, and the app provides at least one command option in the app user interface based on a prediction, generated by the global model, of the next command expected.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Dhruv Joshi, David William Brown, Dolly Sobhani, Brian Eugene Kihneman

Patent number: 11714699Abstract: Intelligent collection and analysis of in-app failure data is disclosed herein. Upon an application failure in a client device, the client device may collect failure information uniquely identifying a specific failure and provide the failure information to an analysis system. The analysis system may identify a specific failure that identifies the application and a specific portion of the code in the application, based on the failure information and match an action correlated to the specific failure where the action is uniquely designed to resolve the specific failure in the application. The action may include instructions for the client device used to intelligently lead to a resolution of the specific failure. The analysis system may transmit the action to the client device to perform the action and provide any follow up information to the analysis server. The analysis server may use the information to further analyze the specific failure.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2021Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Dhruv Joshi, Brian Allan Mueller, Sameera Satyavan Desai, Suneetha Dhulipalla, Dolly Sobhani

Patent number: 11373003Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques for mitigating inadvertent user information collection in telemetry data. In examples, user information is used to evaluate telemetry data associated prior to transmission to a server device. If an instance of user information is identified within the telemetry data, a warning indication is generated. The warning indication may be transmitted to the server device either instead of or in combination with the telemetry data. As a result of the warning indication, the software may be modified to resolve the issue that caused the introduction of the user information into the telemetry data, thereby avoiding future instances of inadvertent data collection. In response to the warning indication, the server may be configured to reject similar telemetry data from other devices, thereby avoiding collecting such data from the other devices.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2019Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Brian Eugene Kihneman, Eric L.

Patent number: 10942832Abstract: Technologies are disclosed that help developers determine server resource usage caused by client application generated events. Embodiments may be employed while an application is under development to balance the benefit of a given event with an estimated cost to process the event once the application is deployed. One aspect of the present disclosure provides a telemetry application that receives application generated events and estimates a resource cost they cause to data collection servers. The resource cost may be based on historic data captured from similar or related events, as well as data about how often the event and related events are raised by the application.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2018Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Brian Eugene Kihneman, Heron Arzaquel Anzures Reyes, Medhavin Vadhanasindhu, Siddharth Dahiya, Dolly Sobhani, Peter P.

Patent number: 9553837Abstract: Systems, method sand computer program products for facilitating the automatic deletion of received emails after a user-selectable time period has elapsed are disclosed. In various embodiments, email messages contain a header field referred to as an “Expiration Time” header field that dictates the length of time the email will reside in a designated Inbox prior to its automatic deletion by an email server. The server is able to automatically delete the received email as long as the email is residing in a folder that is synched to the server. A user receiving the email has access to the Expiration Time Header field and can modify its value if desired and allowed by the sender. The user can move the retrieved email to a folder that is not synched to the server, thus preventing the email from being automatically deleted by the server.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2016Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventor: Dolly Sobhani
