Patent number: 9792354Abstract: A model for displaying multiple user interface elements such that each control includes a container that includes standard functionality across at least a majority of the user interface elements. For instance, such standard functionality might include a part status indication, a title, a content status indication, a command invocation function, a part resizing function, and so forth. The model may also provide for standardization of resizing of user interface elements. For a given user interface element, there would be a predetermined number of possible size and shapes, each corresponding to a different projection of data. For instance, all of the user interface elements on a screen may fall within the predetermined number of possible size and shapes, thereby allowing more functional layout of the user interface on the display.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2014Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Brad Olenick, Christopher Scrosati, Leon Ezequiel Welicki, Steven Sanderson, Alvaro Rahul Dias, Federico Silva Armas, Vishal R.

Patent number: 9727636Abstract: A hierarchy of controls and parts, that are each in accordance with constraints of a computing executing context. A control is executable code that performs a function and which may impart a visualization. A part is a unit of visualization container that has its own visualization and/or shows visualizations from one or more compliant controls associated with the part.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2014Date of Patent: August 8, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Brad Olenick, Leon Ezequiel Welicki, Justin Beckwith, Tom Cox, Vishal R.

Publication number: 20150095849Abstract: Dialogs within a user interface. The user interface has one or more selectable elements, the selection of each of which initiating a corresponding action. Each time that any of the elements is selected, and a corresponding action initiated, there is the potential for the user interface to display a dialog associated with the initiated action. The dialogs are displayed so as to be positioned with respect to the element whose selection caused the corresponding action to be initiated.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2014Publication date: April 2, 2015Inventors: Stephen Michael Danton, Adam Mohamed Abdelhamed, Bradley D.

Publication number: 20150095812Abstract: Computing systems in which multiple non-context-sensitive or core commands may be initiated from each of a number of different user interface contexts. There are also multiple context-sensitive mechanism for visualizing the commands depending on which of the multiple possible user interface contexts that the commands appear. At least some embodiments described herein also related to the presentation of dialogs at various stages of the command lifecycle without the system needing to know the underlying operations of the command, and allowing the developer to specify when dialogs are to appear in that lifecycle.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2014Publication date: April 2, 2015Inventors: Andrew Birck, Brad Olenick, Leon Ezequiel Welicki, Nafisa Bhojawala, Stephen Michael Danton, Jonathan Lucero, Dina-Marie Ledonna Supino, Jesse David Francisco, Vishal R.

Publication number: 20150095842Abstract: A user interface that includes a canvas that extends in one direction. An activation mechanism may be used to generate an initial blade in the canvas. A blade is a user interface element that occupies a portion of the canvas in the dimension along which the canvas extends. The blade includes multiple selectable elements that each have a corresponding blade. The user interface includes an extension mechanism configured to present a corresponding subsequent blade on the canvas perhaps adjacent to the prior blade when a selected element from a prior blade is selected, the subsequent blade also including multiple selectable elements that may be hierarchically structured. In this manner, blade chains may be created representative of a journey that the user has taken since initiating the first blade.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2014Publication date: April 2, 2015Inventors: Stephen Michael Danton, Vishal R.

Publication number: 20150095365Abstract: A query building mechanism in which a query builder component assists a user in generating queries to be used to populate user interface elements. A control provides a query schema to the query builder component. The query schema identifies available query parameters that the control is capable of using to populate a corresponding user interface element. The query builder component presents at least some of the available query parameters the user, such that the user may edit these parameters. The query builder component gathers those edits and generates a query therefrom. The query parameters may be provided to the query builder component in consistent manner across a wide variety of possible user interface controls. Furthermore, the resulting query is provided in a uniform query format.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 1, 2014Publication date: April 2, 2015Inventors: Brad Olenick, Leon Ezequiel Welicki, Timothy Michael McBride, Federico Silva Armas, Jonathan Lucero, Nafisa Bhojawala, David Anson, Kristofer John Owens, Andrew Birck, Vishal R.
