Patent number: 9665702Abstract: In embodiments of restricted execution modes, a mobile device can display a device lock screen on an integrated display device, and transition from the device lock screen to display a shared space user interface of a shared space. The transition to display the shared space user interface is without receiving a PIN code entered on the device lock screen. The mobile device implements a restricted execution service that is implemented to activate a restricted execution mode of the mobile device, and restrict access of a device application to device content while the restricted execution mode is activated. The restricted execution service can also allow a shared device application that is included in the shared space access to the device content while the restricted execution mode is activated.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2015Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Joseph Spencer King, Michael Burt Goulding, Todd Myles Derksen, Aaron Naoyoshi Sheung Yan Woo, Bernardo Iturriaga Dubost, Alan Bennett Auerbach, David A.

Patent number: 9491589Abstract: In embodiments of mobile device safe driving, a mobile device can display a device lock screen on an integrated display device, and transition from the device lock screen to display a driving mode lock screen. The transition to display the driving mode lock screen occurs without receiving a PIN code entered on the device lock screen. The mobile device implements a safe driving service that is implemented to activate a safe driving mode of the mobile device, and disable features of the mobile device while the safe driving mode is activated.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2014Date of Patent: November 8, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Joseph A. Schrader, Raman K. Sarin, Ted Tai-Yu Chen, Sharad Agarwal, Joseph H. Matthews, III, Shai Guday, Joseph Spencer King

Publication number: 20160294766Abstract: Embodiments provide integrated reply functionality within the context of a contact card or panel. Contact information is provided for display in the contact card (e.g., a portion of a user interface of a computing device). The contact information is associated with a contact. The contact information identifies one or more transport modes for communication with the contact. In some embodiments, the computing device receives a request from a user to communicate with the contact via at least one selected transport mode. Based on the received request, the computing device provides an input field within the contact card. In other embodiments, the transport mode is automatically selected and the input field is displayed. Data from the user is received into the input field for communication to the contact. The computing device sends the data received into the input field to the contact via the selected transport mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2016Publication date: October 6, 2016Inventors: Gregory Alan Howard, Joseph Spencer King, Yili Aiwazian, Ian Hunter Todd, Naud Frijlink, Shawna Julie Davis, Christer Garbis

Patent number: 9420432Abstract: In embodiments of mobile devices control, a mobile device includes a communication interface for control communication with associated devices of the mobile device, and the associated devices correspond to members of a private interaction hub. A device control service is implemented to determine that the mobile device is moving in a vehicle based on motion data, and can generate a device quiet control to restrict at least audible outputs from one or more of the associated devices that are in the vehicle with the mobile device. The device control service can then initiate communication of the device quiet control to the associated devices in the vehicle to quiet the associated devices that are controllable from the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2012Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Joseph H. Matthews, III, Joseph A. Schrader, Ted Tai-Yu Chen, Raman K. Sarin, Joseph Spencer King

Patent number: 9230076Abstract: In embodiments of mobile device child share, a mobile device can display a default device lock screen on an integrated display device, and receive an input effective to transition from the default device lock screen to display a child lock screen without receiving a PIN code entered on the default device lock screen. The mobile device can receive a second input effective to transition from the child lock screen to display a child space. The mobile device implements a device share service that activates a child share mode of the mobile device, and restricts functionality of device applications and access to device content based on designated restriction limits.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2012Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Joseph Spencer King, Shawn M.
