Patent number: 11921749Abstract: A synchronization adapter is coupled to the application that does not support synchronization and generates the necessary synchronization metadata for all data in the application that is to be synchronized. The synchronization adapter then combines the metadata to the actual data to be synchronized to form a synchronization feed. The synchronization feed is stored in an internal cache (or data store) which is internal to the application, or an external cache (or data store), which is external to the application, or it can be stored in both caches. The synchronization adapter also intermittently determines whether the application data has changed, thus warranting a change in its metadata, or whether a synchronization operation is warranted to synchronization operation is warranted to synchronize the data with data in another application. In either case, the synchronization adapter makes the changes to the data, or performs a synchronization operation.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2019Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology LicensingInventors: Paresh Suthar, Jack Ozzie, Steven Lees

Patent number: 8775554Abstract: Embodiments extend functionality of a web page using cloud-based page applications. A page application provider, executing as part of a web browser, receives notification of a web page being accessed by a user of a user computing device. One or more page applications associated with the web page are identified. The identified page applications provide functionality related to the web page and, in some embodiments, interact or share data with the web page. The page application provider presents the identified page applications to the user. Based on a selection of at least one of the presented page applications, the selected page application is provided for execution by the user computing device. In some embodiments, the correlations among the user, web pages, and page applications are available from a cloud-based page application service.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2010Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Raymond E.

Patent number: 8417712Abstract: Queries may be issued against an image store to produce a set of image instance relating to images in the image store that relate to the query. The relevance of the images to the query may be depicted by scaling the image instances according to the predicted relevance of the image to the query. The image instances may be further positioned within the image instance set query result, e.g., by clustering according to image relatedness or by similar predicted relevance of the images to the query terms of the query. The image instances may also be presented as smoothly zoomable images, such that the user may zoom in on the images in an efficient manner that facilitates realtime, gradual zooming with reduced resampling inefficiency.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2008Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Raman Narayanan, George Moromisato, Radoslav Nickolov, Raymond Ozzie, Jack Ozzie, Matt Augustine, Ming Liu

Publication number: 20100100725Abstract: Providing a remote computer user authentication service involves providing a reference to a user authentication service in a host server's source code (e.g., website source code). Further, integration code that may be used in an application programming interface (API) on the host server for interaction with a user authentication service can be provided. Additionally, a user interface (UI) for user authentication on the host server, and an authentication-test message on the host server using the UI may be provided. Also, providing authentication can comprise sending an authentication-request message to a mobile device designated by the user; and/or can comprise the user responding with information from the authentication-test message. The host server can be notified of the user's authentication after a correct response is received by the user authentication service.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2008Publication date: April 22, 2010Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Raymond Ozzie, Jack Ozzie, Thomas A.

Publication number: 20070255787Abstract: In a peer-to-peer collaboration system, deltas containing data change commands are organized in a persistent data structure called a delta log. The delta log is organized into blocks, which are the largest division in the delta log. In turn, blocks contain groups, groups contain chains and chains contain deltas. Delta blocks are used to implement priority deltas that are used to limit the collection of data change commands that must be transferred. Within a block the deltas are organized by groups, each of which is a set of deltas organized into chains. The delta group in used to determine which deltas to purge. The chains are ordered by increasing creator ID of the endpoint that created the chain. Organizing the delta log in this fashion allows the log to be “walked” to detect convergence problems. To achieve causality-preservation, each delta has a list of dependencies representing other deltas that must be executed before the current delta can be executed.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2007Publication date: November 1, 2007Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Ransom Richardson, Raymond Ozzie, Jack Ozzie

Method and apparatus for connecting a secure peer-to-peer collaboration system to an external system
Publication number: 20060075024Abstract: A connection between a secure shared space and an external system is created with a connector tool. The connector tool code is included in an independent agent called a “bot” that is created by a software developer. Bots run in the background in an automated and unattended manner in a specialized enterprise integration server. Each bot has a unique identity and runs under an account assigned to the enterprise integration server. A bot can be invited to a shared space much as another collaborator. Bots can also invite others to shared spaces. All bots running in the enterprise integration server are administered by a centralized administrative control. This allows account and identity policies to be established and global behaviors, including authentication settings, startup options and scope to be determined centrally. The centralized control allows simple installation, configuration and deployment and administrative control of bot operation and access.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2005Publication date: April 6, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: William Zircher, Jack Ozzie, Raymond Ozzie -
Publication number: 20050102364Abstract: A distributed, activity-based collaboration system employs a data change request priority scheme for determining an order of execution of data change requests in effecting changes to local copies of data so as to optimize data consistency for collaborative activities. The data change request priority scheme can entail encoding sequence number information and dependency information in the data change requests, responsive to which data changes can be made, unmade and remade to the data.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2003Publication date: May 12, 2005Applicant: Groove Networks, Inc.Inventors: Raymond Ozzie, Jack Ozzie
