Patent number: 9244698Abstract: Various embodiments provide a download bar user interface control that is designed to help users maintain focus on their browsing activities, while offering notifications regarding a file download. In at least some embodiments, the download bar user interface control is non-modal and is presented at a location within the browsing field-of-view that is selected to reduce user distraction. Various embodiments also provide a download manager user interface that enables multiple download-related tasks to be performed. In at least some embodiments, the download manager user interface is presented responsive to input to the download bar user interface control. Further to some embodiments, the download bar user interface control can be closed responsive to the download manager user interface being presented and download-related notifications and options transferred from the download bar user interface control to the download manager user interface.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2010Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Ritika Virmani, Jane T. Kim, Warren G. Stevens, Dave Risney, Todd Sahl, Andrew E. Olson, Sarah J. Bowers, Susan Makarian, Clint C. Jorgenson, Randall K. Winjum, Eric M. Lawrence

Patent number: 8959647Abstract: In various embodiments, redirection techniques can be utilized to protect against insecure functionality, to mitigate scripting vulnerabilities, and to protect vulnerable exception handlers. In at least some embodiments, a program can be protected from a security vulnerability by using a runtime shield which changes the behavior of the program while it is running. The shield effectively provides a redirection solution that addresses the vulnerability while, at the same time, does not alter the particular program's executable code.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2007Date of Patent: February 17, 2015Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Justin Rogers, Eric M. Lawrence, Henry F. Bridge

Patent number: 8949344Abstract: Various embodiments enable local web applications to communicate asynchronously with web based services and applications based on a local device's current state and a user's communications preferences. In at least some embodiments, a synchronization engine receives a message in a “Web Inbox” from a web based service or application. In at least some embodiments, the synchronization engine notifies a local web application of the message, sends the message to the web application, and/or loads the web application if it is not in session. The web application's response to the message may be transferred to a “Web Outbox” where it resides until being sent to the web service. The synchronization engine then determines a time to transmit the response to the web service by querying the local device for its current state and a user's communication preferences.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2008Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Eric M. Lawrence, Sunava Dutta, Ganesh Ananthanarayanan

Patent number: 8667573Abstract: Described herein is a technique of protecting users against certain types of Internet attacks. The technique involves obtaining certificates from visited web sites and qualifying communications with those web sites based on the content of the certificates.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2012Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Eric M. Lawrence, Roberto A. Franco, Venkatraman V. Kudallur, Marc A. Silbey

Patent number: 8453245Abstract: Various embodiments detect security vulnerabilities and, responsively, can modify an affected program so that even if an exploit runs, the program's integrity can be maintained. In at least some embodiments, a local automatic vulnerability detection and response (AVD/R) component executes on a user's local machine to detect and mitigate potential vulnerabilities through the use of a shield; and, a remote automatic vulnerability detection and response (AVD/R) component executes to report perceived vulnerabilities so that one or more shields can be delivered and applied locally to mitigate perceived vulnerabilities.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2006Date of Patent: May 28, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Justin Rogers, Eric M. Lawrence, Henry F. Bridge
