Patent number: 11921730Abstract: Described herein are mechanisms to allow users to access functionality of applications in a suite of applications. In a first aspect, when a query relating to functionality of an application is received from a user, an index containing both top-level and sub-level functionality is searched. Results are ranked using a trained machine learning model using both context describing user interactions and the search results. A subset of the ranked results are presented to the user as options. In a second aspect the index can comprise entries describing functionality from other applications so that results presented to the user can include cross-application functionality. In a third aspect, the index can be searched using the context prior to receiving a query and adjusting the user interface based on the results. In a fourth aspect, the system can recommend other applications and/or devices that are better suited to a user's intent.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Madeline Schuster Kleiner, Nathaniel George Freier, Bernhard Kohlmeier, Amod Anil Agashe, Jignesh Shah, Tomasz Lukasz Religa

Publication number: 20210240770Abstract: An application search system providing an application suggestion service can perform a method including receiving at least one capability from each of a plurality of applications and registering the at least one capability of each of the plurality of applications as registered capabilities. Each capability can include a feature of that application and one or more parameters to be used by that application for that feature. When the application search system receives an intent of a user, the system matches the intent of the user with at least one feature from the registered capabilities, identifies corresponding values for the one or more parameters of the at least one feature from the intent of the user, and sends the corresponding values to at least one application associated with a matched feature from the set of matched features. Results returned from the at least one application can be provided to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2020Publication date: August 5, 2021Inventors: Madeline Schuster KLEINER, Nathaniel George FREIER, Bernhard S.J.
