Patent number: 9569079Abstract: The aggregation of multiple inputs in a touch-sensitive input device is disclosed. For example, one disclosed embodiment comprises receiving multiple inputs related to a virtual object, aggregating the inputs into an aggregated output, and providing the aggregated output to an application that controls the virtual object.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2014Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Doug Kramer, Kevin Kennedy, Maxim Mazeev, Sundaram Ramani, Robert Levy

Patent number: 9552126Abstract: A control system is disclosed that is configurable (e.g., by a programmer) so as to enable input from multiple sources to capture to multiple controls. Also or alternatively, the system is configurable so as to enable input from multiple sources to capture to a single control. The system also provides a consistent and extendable scheme for filtering out conflicting events for individual controls. In one embodiment, this means that the system is configurable (e.g., based on the programmer's asserted preferences) so as to enable a selective determination as to whether additional inputs can be captured for a given control.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2013Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Maxim Mazeev, Scot Daniel Anderson, John Guido Atkins Weiss, Robert Levy

Patent number: 9274906Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to invoking and managing a failover of a storage account between partitions within a distributed computing environment, where each partition represents a key range of data for the storage account. The partitions affected by the failover include source partitions hosted on a primary storage stamp and destination partitions hosted on a secondary storage stamp, where the storage account's data is being actively replicated from the primary to the secondary storage stamp. Upon receiving a manual or automatic indication to perform the failover, configuring the source partitions to independently perform flush-send operations (e.g., distributing pending messages as a group) and then configuring the destination partitions to independently perform flush-replay operations (e.g., aggressively replaying currently pending transactions).Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2014Date of Patent: March 1, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Bradley Gene Calder, Niranjan Nilakantan, Shashwat Srivastav, Jiesheng Wu, Arild Einar Skjolsvold, Maxim Mazeev, Abdul Rafay Abbasi, Shane Mainali, Hemal Khatri, Ju Wang, Padmanabha Chakravarthy Uddaraju, Leonidas Rigas

Patent number: 8446376Abstract: The provision of visual responses to touch inputs is disclosed. For example, one disclosed embodiment provides a computing device comprising a touch-sensitive display, a processor in operative communication with the touch-sensitive display, and memory comprising instructions stored thereon that are executable by the processor to detect a touch input made via the touch-sensitive display, display on the touch-sensitive display a first visual response to the touch input indicating that the touch input was detected by the computing device, and if the touch input is made in a touch-interactive area on the touch-sensitive display, then to display a second visual response to the touch input indicating that the touch was made in the touch-interactive area of the display.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2009Date of Patent: May 21, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Robert Levy, Sarah Graham Williams, Michael Cronin, Maxim Mazeev, Bryan Beatty, Daniel Wigdor

Publication number: 20120303912Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to invoking and managing migration operations applied to partitions within a distributed computing environment, where each partition represents a key range of data for a storage account. The partitions affected by the migration operations are source partitions hosted on a primary storage stamp and/or destination partitions hosted on a secondary storage stamp, where the primary and secondary storage stamps are equipped to replicate the storage account's data therebetween upon initiating a migration. Upon substantial completion of a bootstrapping phase of replication, one migration operation includes designating the secondary storage stamp as a new primary storage stamp such that the destination partitions commence processing client requests, sending resultant transactions to the source partitions, and providing read and write access thereto.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2011Publication date: November 29, 2012Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Bradley Gene Calder, Niranjan Nilakantan, Shashwat Srivastav, Jiesheng Wu, Arild Einar Skjolsvold, Maxim Mazeev, Abdul Rafay Abbasi, Shane Mainali, Hemal Khatri, Ju Wang

Patent number: 7765207Abstract: To provide data from a database in response to an application query, the database is queried an initial time to provide a first set of data. For example, a “fast first page” may be requested, by requesting that all data which might appear on a first page to be displayed is obtained from the database first. After this, one or more subsequent asynchronous queries obtain the remaining information responsive to the query. Or, certain columns from the database (“spine columns”) may be requested in the initial query of the database, and the rest of the data requested subsequently. Thus, information needed to make an initial presentation to a user can be obtained first, and other information filled in subsequently.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2005Date of Patent: July 27, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Lijiang Fang, Ramesh Nagarajan, Maxim Mazeev, Rodger N. Kline, Yanbiao Zhao

Publication number: 20090237363Abstract: Plural temporally overlapping drag and drop operations are performed by binding a first source to a first input and identifying a potential target of the first source. During a duration in which the first source remains bound to the first input, a second operation is initiated as a second source is bound to a second input and a potential target of the second source is identified. While both the first and second sources are bound to respective inputs, a request from the potential target of the first source is received to claim the first source and the first source is released to the potential target of the first source, completing the first operation. The second operation is completed as a request from the potential target of the second source is received to claim the second source and the second source is released to the potential target of the second source.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2008Publication date: September 24, 2009Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Robert Levy, Sundaram Ramani, Maxim Mazeev, Kevin Kennedy
