Patent number: 11635828Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided that address interoperability limitations of current digital pens and touch sensitive devices. In aspects, methods are provided for operating an adaptable digital pen and touch sensitive device to determine the best means for pen state information such as pressure information to be transferred from the pen to the device. A digital pen includes multiple communication interfaces to permit wide compatibility with touch sensitive devices. A communication interface is provided that enables the digital pen to communicate via an active pen protocol with a digitizer of the touch sensitive device while operating in a first mode. Another communication interface is provided as an alternative channel for communicating pen state information to the touch sensitive device while operating in a second mode. Where neither such interface suffices for communicating pen state information to the touch sensitive device, the digital pen may operate in a reflective capacitive mode.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2021Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: David Abzarian, Jerry K. Koh, Connor Weins

Patent number: 8250518Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for defining a default handler software application in response to an event at a computer. An event, for example, a user opening a file with a specific extension or accessing a uniform resource locator (URL) with a specific protocol, may trigger the operating system to instantiate a user-level default handler program associated with the event type and the specific user. Users may define user-level default handlers through a centralized user interface maintained by the operating system. During the application installation process, an application may register lists of supported events that the application is capable of handling.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2006Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Edward B.

Publication number: 20110246525Abstract: Computer-readable media, computer-readable media, computerized methods, and computer systems for acting on properties of multiple resources, which span disparate locations within a network, upon detecting an intuitive user-initiated operation are provided. Initially, a library is provided that includes a framework for contemporaneously accessing a collection of items within a scope thereof. Upon launching the library, representations of the scoped items are surfaced at a UI display. When the user-initiated operation is applied at one of the surfaced representations, properties of each of the scoped items are automatically manipulated. A library-configuration state, which reflects how the items are affected upon manipulating the properties thereof, may be updated upon implementing the manipulation.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2011Publication date: October 6, 2011Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: LINDSEY R.

Patent number: 7945951Abstract: System(s), techniques, and/or method(s) (“tools”) are described that enable a user to elevate his or her rights. The tools may do so by switching a user to an account having higher rights or a different, higher-rights context of a same account. The tools may elevate a user's rights after a user enters a secure access sequence, such as Control+Alt+Delete, clicks on a button, or enters credentials. The tools may also enable a user to identify tasks that need higher rights to be performed by visually correlating graphic indicia with these tasks.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2006Date of Patent: May 17, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Anil K Yadav, Jerry K Koh, Steve Scallen

Patent number: 7689700Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to systems and methods for configuring computing devices to join a peer group. A peer group may be created on a subnetwork by a computing device. When a new computing device enters the subnetwork, it may join the peer group and be given access to the shared resources on the peer group and associated computing devices, using a communications layer and an authorization layer. Allowing a new computing device to join a peer group includes inviting the new device to join and then challenging the device for a passkey of the peer group. After joining the peer group, the computing device will be able to access and share resources with the peer group and other computing devices associated with the peer group.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2008Date of Patent: March 30, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Brian McNeil, Steve Seixeiro, Jerry K.

Patent number: 7660871Abstract: A system and related techniques prepare and condition the installation of new networked service or application components, such as Internet services, based on an individual subscriber's subscribed-to services, features and other components. A subscriber to an Internet service may choose to add, for example, a componentized subscription to a music or video download service to their access plan. When the user inserts a CDROM or accesses a Web site for installation, the user may be prompted for a username or passport-type object to authenticate their account. The user may then be presented with a set of available service selections, extensions or enhancements to choose to add to their plan. Those available selections may be prefiltered or prequalified, for example, based on geographic location, account spending or access limits, language or other criteria.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2004Date of Patent: February 9, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jerry K. Koh, Emmanuel Miranda-Steiner, Eric Hebenstreit, Elizabeth J. Gentile
