Patent number: 11900485Abstract: Making an information retrieval process public, so that it can be followed by others, allows capturing of an interest graph that allows people to learn more about shared interests with other people. This also allows items of interest to a trusted resource (such as an expert) to be identified. These items can then be brought to the attention of other users that share the same interest as the expert. In addition, by keeping track of what particular content a user has already seen, the system can bring items of interest to the user's attention, where the user has not yet seen those items.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2022Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: David A. Raskino, Steven W. Ickman, Christopher C. McConnell, Paul A. Steckler, Matthew G. Dyor

Patent number: 10875525Abstract: Techniques for ability enhancement are described. In some embodiments, devices and systems located in a transportation network share threat information with one another, in order to enhance a user's ability to operate or function in a transportation-related context. In one embodiment, a process in a vehicle receives threat information from a remote device, the threat information based on information about objects or conditions proximate to the remote device. The process then determines that the threat information is relevant to the safe operation of the vehicle. Then, the process modifies operation of the vehicle based on the threat information, such as by presenting a message to the operator of the vehicle and/or controlling the vehicle itself.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2015Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing LLCInventors: Richard T.

Determining threats based on information from road-based devices in a transportation-related context
Patent number: 10079929Abstract: Techniques for ability enhancement are described. Some embodiments provide an ability enhancement facilitator system (“AEFS”) configured to enhance a user's ability to operate or function in a transportation-related context as a pedestrian or a vehicle operator. In one embodiment, the AEFS is configured perform vehicular threat detection based on information received at a road-based device, such as a sensor or processor that is deployed at the side of a road. An example AEFS receives, at a road-based device, information about a first vehicle that is proximate to the road-based device. The AEFS analyzes the received information to determine threat information, such as that the vehicle may collide with the user. The AEFS then informs the user of the determined threat information, such as by transmitting a warning to a wearable device configured to present the warning to the user.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2016Date of Patent: September 18, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Richard T.
