Patent number: 10579373Abstract: Techniques are presented for providing seamless extension porting. A second browser of a client device can receive a call to execute extension code containing function calls for a first browser. The extension code can further include a preload manifest key, which can include at least one bridge script property providing a bridge between function calls for the first browser and function calls for the second browser. In response to receiving the call to execute the extension code, the at least one bridge script property of the preload manifest key may be performed to execute the referenced bridge. Subsequently, remaining code of the extension code may then be executed. The bridge can receive function calls by the extension code. When a function call for the first browser is received, the bridge can map the function call for the first browser to a corresponding function call supported by the second browser.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2017Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Chee Chen Tong, Praveen Kumar Muralidhar Rao, Andrew Messick, Scott S. Sheehan, Michael Z. Stephens, Sebastian Poulose

Patent number: 10055388Abstract: In at least some embodiments, a mechanism is provided for web developers to request specific default behaviors, such as touch behaviors, on their webpages. In at least some implementations, a Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) rule is utilized to enable or disable manipulations such as panning, pinch zoom, and double-tap-zoom manipulations. The mechanism can be extensible to accommodate additional default behaviors that are added in the future. In various embodiments, the behaviors are declared up front and thus differ from solutions which employ an imperative model. The declarative nature of this approach allows achievement of full independence from the main thread and deciding the correct response using independent hit testing.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2015Date of Patent: August 21, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Matthew A. Rakow, Tony E. Schreiner, Bradley J. Litterell, Kevin M. Babbitt, Praveen Kumar Muralidhar Rao, Justin E. Rogers, Sylvain P. Galineau, Arron J. Eicholz

Patent number: 9430808Abstract: Techniques for synchronization points for state information are described. In at least some embodiments, synchronization points are employed to propagate state information among different processing threads. A synchronization point, for example, can be employed to propagate state information among different independently-executing threads. Accordingly, in at least some embodiments, synchronization points serve as inter-thread communications among different independently-executing threads.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2013Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Christian Fortini, Brian E. Manthos, Grant A. Watters, Li-Hsin Huang, Richard K. James, Samuel R. Fortiner, R. Scott Briggs, Sergey Z. Malkin, Yuanzhe Wang, Rico Mariani, Justin E. Rogers, Anjali S. Parikh, Praveen Kumar Muralidhar Rao, Matthew P. Kotsenas, Jason J. Weber, Nirankush Panchbhai, Rossen Atanassov, Peter Salas

Patent number: 9383908Abstract: In one or more embodiments, a hit test thread which is separate from the main thread, e.g. the user interface thread, is utilized for hit testing on web content. Using a separate thread for hit testing can allow targets to be quickly ascertained. In cases where the appropriate response is handled by a separate thread, such as a manipulation thread that can be used for touch manipulations such as panning and pinch zooming, manipulation can occur without blocking on the main thread. This results in the response time that is consistently quick even on low-end hardware over a variety of scenarios.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2014Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Matthew A. Rakow, Tony E. Schreiner, Bradley J. Litterell, Kevin M. Babbitt, Praveen Kumar Muralidhar Rao, Christian Fortini
