Patent number: 11632437Abstract: Image transformation for use in a hybrid distribution architecture with improved performance characteristics is provided herein. The hybrid distribution architecture provides content to clients via a dual source system using a central cloud service and a Content Distribution Network, which uses the cloud service as its source. A client that requests a new rendition of an image provided by a chosen source of the hybrid distribution architecture will have that request handled by the source, and the source may maintain that rendition for future provision. By allowing the client to choose the source and letting that source handle the request, rather than requiring a central service hand the request, the amount of data needed to be transmitted is reduced and the speed of provision of content, modified or not, is improved for the client.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2021Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Jose Emmanuel Miranda-Steiner, Victor Magidson

Patent number: 11064010Abstract: Systems and methods for tracking the download progress of a composite file. One system includes a notification server and a media server. The notification server provides a token to a user device that uniquely identifies a user session between a browser application and a cloud storage service. The media server receives the token from the browser application associated with a download request for a set of files, creates a composite file including the set of files, transmits the composite file to the user device, and, while transmitting the composite file, transmits progress information and the token to the notification server. The progress information includes a number of files in the composite file transmitted to the user device. The notification server receives the progress information and the token from the media server, determines the user session based on the token, and transmits the progress information to the user device.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2018Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Sridhar Periasami, Harshad R.

Patent number: 10747728Abstract: As users increasingly shift to cloud services, devices are less likely to be pre-loaded with applications that support the multitudes of different file types that exist today and are continuing to be created. Thus, embodiments are directed to editing and sharing unsupported files through an instantly generated preview without having to install applications that support each file type and/or subscribe to services. For example, in response to detecting a user's request to access a file that is stored locally and determining a lack of a local application or previewer associated with the file, a preview that includes a presentation of the file using a registered previewer may be instantly generated. The preview may be rendered such that the file can be edited and/or shared through the previewer based on a level of editing and/or sharing functionality, respectively, where the levels of functionality are based on the user's subscription status.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2017Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jose Emmanuel Miranda-Steiner, Steven J.

Publication number: 20180365197Abstract: Technologies are provided for an instant preview of a locally unsupported file. A client application such as a file synchronization application may detect an intent to preview a locally stored file. Upon detection and determination that there is no local preview support is available, the client application may send the file to a cloud based service such as a cloud storage service. The cloud based service may search to determine if a cloud based previewer associated with the file is registered with the service. If no such previewer is found, the service may seek one from an external resource. Upon finding a previewer associated with the file, the cloud based service may generate a preview for the file and transmit to the client application to be rendered. The cloud based service may remove the cloud copy of the file upon completion in some examples.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2017Publication date: December 20, 2018Applicant: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Jose Emmanuel MIRANDA-STEINER, John D.

Publication number: 20180341717Abstract: Variety of approaches to provide an instant preview of a cloud based file are described. A file management application initiates operation(s) to provide an instant preview of a cloud based file upon detecting an intent to preview the cloud based file. Next, a lack of a local previewer associated with the cloud based file is confirmed. A preview is requested from a server associated with the cloud based file. The preview includes a presentation of the cloud based file. Upon receiving the preview associated with the cloud based file from the server, the preview is rendered. The preview may be a rich, instant preview.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2017Publication date: November 29, 2018Applicant: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Jose Emmanuel MIRANDA-STEINER, Steven J.

Patent number: 8984412Abstract: An advertisement is associated with an advertiser-sponsored theme. An application generates a page that includes the advertisement. If a first user input event is detected with respect to the advertisement, the advertiser-sponsored theme is temporarily applied to the page, thereby providing a preview of the advertiser-sponsored theme. If a second user input event is detected with respect to the advertisement, the preview of the advertiser-sponsored theme is removed from the page. If a third user input event is detected with respect to the advertisement, the advertiser-sponsored theme is selected for use with the application. A notification may also be provided to other users indicated that the advertiser-sponsored theme was selected for use.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2008Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jesse Kui Hsiang Lim, Jose Emmanuel Miranda Steiner, Joost Martijn Bon, Chad Steven Estes

Patent number: 8886944Abstract: Watermarks may be used to deter certain types of information leaks. In one example, leaks occur in the form of posting, in public forums, screen shots of private pages. To deter this example kind of leak, private web pages within an organization may be watermarked with an experience identifier that identifies the session in which the screen shot is captured. Other information may also be included in the watermark. The watermark may be designed to survive image compression, so that it can be recovered from either a compressed or uncompressed image of the web page. By using an experience identifier recovered from the watermark, and logs that describe activity associated with that experience identifier, it may be possible to identify the source of the information leak.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2010Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Michael P. Mastrangelo, Jose Emmanuel Miranda-Steiner

Patent number: 8713571Abstract: Techniques for asynchronous task execution are described. In an implementation, tasks may be initiated and executed asynchronously, thereby allowing a plurality of calls to be made in parallel. Each task may be associated with a respective timeout that triggers an end to execution of the task. If a timeout for a low priority task expires without completing both the low priority task and a relatively higher priority task, then the low priority task may use the relatively higher priority task to extend execution time of the low priority task in order to allow additional time to perform the low priority task.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2010Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Edgar A. Banguero, Eric J. Holton, Brian M. Perrin, Daniel W. Crevier, Jose Emmanuel Miranda Steiner, Jeffrey E. Steinbok

Publication number: 20130129142Abstract: Automatic extraction of data from and tagging of a photo (or video) having an image of identifiable objects is provided. A combination of image recognition and extracted metadata, including geographical and date/time information, is used to find and recognize objects in a photo or video. Upon finding a matching identifier for a recognized object, the photo or video is automatically tagged with one or more keywords associated with and corresponding to the recognized objects.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2011Publication date: May 23, 2013Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventor: Jose Emmanuel Miranda-Steiner
