Publication number: 20230342166Abstract: Systems and methods include a document serving circuit structured to access a document data, the document data comprising data for a unified document surface, and to provide at least a portion of the document data to a client serving circuit. The client serving circuit is structured to implement a unified document surface interface in response to the at least a portion of the document data, implement an extension creation interface, and to provide a pack implementation value to the document serving circuit in response to user interactions with the extension creation interface. The document serving circuit is further structured to determine a pack definition value in response to the pack implementation value.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2023Publication date: October 26, 2023Inventors: Alexander W. DeNeui, Glenn Jaume, Hariharan Sivaramakrishnan, Helena G. Jaramillo, John Z. Li, Jonathan L. Goldman, Martin Charles, W. Michael Varney, Timothy Andrew James, Adam Ginzberg, Nathan Penner, Evan Brooks, Michael Hewitt, Punit Shah, Patrick Barry, Huayang Guo, Jason Peter Stowe, Christopher Leland Eck, Alicia Salvino, Alan Fang, Spencer Chang, Elizabeth Huang, Oleg Vaskevich

Publication number: 20230297768Abstract: An example system may include a document snapshot circuit structured to generate a document snapshot configured to capture a state of a document at a time marker and a document sharding circuit structured to analyze the document snapshot, and generate a first plurality of shard documents capturing the state of the document at the time marker. The system may include a document serving circuit structured to access the first plurality of shard documents, and provide at least a subset of the first plurality of shard documents to a client serving circuit structured to implement a unified document surface interface in response to the at least a subset of the first plurality of shard documents. The document serving circuit is configured to provide the subset of the first plurality of shard documents in an order determined to prioritize shards related to a last accessed location of the document.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2023Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Alexander W. DeNeui, Glenn Jaume, Hariharan Sivaramakrishnan, Helena G. Jaramillo, John Z. Li, Jonathan L. Goldman, Martin Charles, W.

Publication number: 20230274080Abstract: Systems and methods for publication and external interfacing for a unified document surface are disclosed. An example system may include a document serving circuit structured to access a document data, the document data comprising data for a unified document surface, and provide at least a portion of the document data to a client serving circuit. The client serving circuit may be structured to implement a unified document surface interface in response to the at least a portion of the document data, implement an extension creation interface, provide a pack implementation value to the document serving circuit in response to user interactions with the extension creation interface, and determine an executable object in response to the pack implementation value.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2023Publication date: August 31, 2023Inventors: Alexander W. DeNeui, Glenn Jaume, Hariharan Sivaramakrishnan, Helena G. Jaramillo, John Z. Li, Jonathan L. Goldman, Martin Charles, W.

Publication number: 20220269851Abstract: Systems and methods for publication and external interfacing for a unified document surface are disclosed. An example system may include a document serving circuit structured to access a document data, the document data including data for a unified document surface, and to provide at least a portion of the document data to a client serving circuit; the client serving circuit structured to implement a unified document surface interface in response to the at least a portion of the document data; the client serving circuit further structured to implement an extension creation interface, and to provide a pack implementation value to the document serving circuit in response to user interactions with the extension creation interface; and wherein the document serving circuit is further structured to determine a pack definition value in response to the pack implementation value.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2022Publication date: August 25, 2022Inventors: Alexander W.

Patent number: 10423301Abstract: In general, this disclosure describes techniques that employ user-defined values of properties of sections of an electronic presentation. As described herein, a user may configure a presentation to include a plurality of sections. Each of the sections includes zero or more slides of the electronic slide presentation. In addition to the slides associated with each section, each of the sections is associated with one or more properties having values that can be defined by an author of the presentation. Because the values of the properties of the sections are user-definable, these properties may, in some implementations of these techniques, enable the author of the presentation to use the sections in ways not possible in presentation applications that merely use sections as a means of grouping thumbnail images of slides for navigation among slides in an authoring interface.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2015Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Nathan Penner, Shawn Villaron, Dachuan Zhang

Patent number: 10366114Abstract: Data presentation functionality associated with a collaboration database may be provided. A presentation of a table in conjunction with a collaboration database may be detected. At least one field in the table that includes people type data may also be detected. Initial letters associated with a person or an entity may be detected as input into the at least one field. A type of entry of the initial letters may be detected. A local data source may be searched to identify matching entries. Suggestions may then be displayed. If one of the suggestions is selected, additional information associated with the selected suggestion may be displayed on a contact card in a vicinity of the at least one field. An interactive functionality associated with the additional information through the contact card may be provided upon selection of the at least one field when the table is presented.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2016Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Krista Bendig, Nathan Penner, Travis Eby, Yi Li, Felicia Werchan, Daniel McAllister, Mark Peterson, Raul Clouse
