Patent number: 10788963Abstract: Techniques for recording and replay of a live conference while still attending the live conference are described. A conferencing system includes a user interface generator, a live conference processing module, and a replay processing module. The user interface generator is configured to generate a user interface that includes a replay control panel and one or more output panels. The live conference processing module is configured to extract information included in received conferencing data that is associated with one or more conferencing modalities, and to display the information in the one or more output panels in a live manner (e.g., as a live conference). The replay processing module is configured to enable information associated with the one or more conferencing modalities corresponding to a time of the conference session prior to live to be presented at a desired rate, possibly different from the real-time rate.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2018Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Kori Inkpen Quinn, Rajesh Hedge, Zhengyou Zhang, John Tang, Sasa Junuzovic, Christopher Brooks

Patent number: 10068275Abstract: Various methods and systems for obtaining remote shopping advice are described herein. In one example, a method includes taking two or more media representations of items to be discussed. A parameter is selected within a social shopping app for obtaining feedback on the items to be discussed. The two or more media representations are assembled into a query within the social shopping app based, at least in part, on the parameter. The query is sent to a reviewer from within the social shopping app. Feedback on the items to be discussed is received from the reviewer within the social shopping app.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2014Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Meredith Morris, Kori Inkpen Quinn, Gina Danielle Venolia

Patent number: 9591260Abstract: In general, the immersive telepresence implementations described herein allow desired telepresence experiences of users or telepresence travel participants to be automatically matched with travel volunteers that can provide these telepresence experiences. The mobile computing devices of the travel volunteers provide audio, video and other data to the travel participant so that the travel participant can experience the sights and sounds of a desired telepresence experience (which can include location and time, as well as a desired activity) without the travel participant physically being present. The immersive telepresence implementations described herein automatically find matches between telepresence experiences on a list (e.g., bucket list) of a travel participant and one or more travel volunteers and provide for various features to provide an immersive and personalized telepresence experience for the travel participant.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2015Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Kori Inkpen Quinn, Meredith Morris, Gina Venolia, John Tang, Lilian de Greef

Publication number: 20160350724Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to enabling a lightweight way of recording and sharing video messages intended to provide input to a future meeting that cannot be personally attended. A person who cannot attend the meeting pre-records their thoughts and remarks for the meeting as video clips for presentation at the meeting. A physical device with at least a display is presented at the meeting. The physically present participants can play the pre-recorded clips on the device. Video of participants' responses to the clips is recorded and made available so that the represented attendee can view the participants' responses.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2016Publication date: December 1, 2016Inventors: John C. Tang, Aaron Hoff, Kori Inkpen Quinn, Paul Johns, Asta Roseway, Chen Zhao, Xiang Cao, Jennifer Marlow
