  • Patent number: 10282069
    Abstract: A dynamic presentation of contextually relevant content during an authoring experience. As a user writes about a topic, the authored content is analyzed to identify one or more keywords that may be used to identify, retrieve and present suggested content to the user. The suggested content may be received from one or more resources, such as a search engine, a data store associated with the user, social media resources or other local or remote files. Techniques described herein might also select the keywords from authored content based on a cursor position. As a result, the suggested content may change as the cursor moves to a new position in the authored content. In addition, techniques described herein provide a user interface control that allows for the selection and de-selection of one or more keywords, which allows a user to tailor the suggested content by toggling one or more controls.

  • Patent number: 9648461
    Abstract: Defining subscriptions to location information for a computing device (e.g., a mobile computing device). Application programs, services, and/or peer devices define the subscriptions based on constraints associated with requests for the location information. A location request scheduler coordinates the subscriptions temporally and spatially to reduce the quantity of the requests from the computing device. In some embodiments, the subscriptions are automatically defined based on an observed mobility pattern of the computing device.

  • Patent number: 9536202
    Abstract: Determining geospatial patterns from device data collected from a plurality of computing devices. The devices represent, for example, a plurality of sources providing the device data. The device data describes the computing devices and/or environments thereof. Some embodiments present the determined patterns to users for editing, update maps with the edited patterns, and distribute the maps to the users. The maps are stored to create a searchable map library.

  • Publication number: 20160092419
    Abstract: Technologies are described herein for generating structured sample authoring content based on a user input. Generally described, sample content, such as a synopsis of a subject, may be generated from a contextual interpretation of one or more keywords provided by a user. Using the one or more keywords, a system retrieves content data from one or more resources. The content data is parsed and used to generate a structure of the content data. The structure is then used to generate sample content that may be presented to the user. The presented information may provide a way to jumpstart an authoring project on particular topics of interest.

  • Publication number: 20160085786
    Abstract: Concepts and technologies are described herein for transforming data into consumable content. In accordance with the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, a computing device can execute a transformation engine for transforming data into the consumable content. The computing device can be configured to analyze the data to identify relationships within data elements or other portions of the data. The computing device also can determine a visualization model to apply to the data and to choose a world based upon the determined visualization model. The computing device can obtain rules associated with the selected or chosen world, and can apply the rules to the data to generate the output. In some embodiments, the computing device can be configured to obtain and apply feedback to the output.
