Publication number: 20220365639Abstract: Systems and methods are described that include receiving, in a tab strip generated by a web browser application, a request to generate a tab group, generating the tab group, in response to receiving the request, where the generating includes generating a tab group identifier for the tab group, enabling pausing or starting of an activity associated with a resource accessed by a browser tab within the tab group based on whether the tab group is collapsed or expanded, and storing metadata about the tab group and the browser tab included in the tab group. The systems and methods may further include causing display of the generated tab group in the tab strip with the tab group identifier depicted in at least a portion of a user interface associated with the browser tab where the generated tab group is configured for display based on the metadata.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2021Publication date: November 17, 2022Inventors: Kayce Audra Hawkins, Edward Jung, Joel Roger Beukelman, Sébastien Marchand, Xialin Yan, Dana Fried, Christopher Matthew Lee, Bret Alan Sepulveda, Monica Estela Gonzalez Veron, Collin Henry Baker, Taylor Bergquist, Connie Lee Wan, Mark Chang, Samuel Birch, Rachel Karin Popkin, Alan Bettes, Daniel June Hyung Park, Lukas Schubsda, Jason Randolph

Patent number: 9977811Abstract: The objects of an on object set may be synchronized across many clients (e.g., various devices may synchronize files of a mirrored filesystem). However, the synchronization of an object may be complicated, and an object may not yet be synchronized in the object set of a client for many reasons, such as an incomplete reception of the object, an unavailability of the object from currently reachable hosts, and a versioning conflict with a different version of the same object in the object set. In order to inform a user of the availability of an object in the object set, an analysis of the availability status of the object may be performed (e.g., by tracking metadata stored in object descriptors of respective objects of the object set, and later examining the metadata of respective objects), and a selected availability status may be presented to the user.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2016Date of Patent: May 22, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Siddharth Mantri, Rachel Karin Popkin

Publication number: 20150248340Abstract: A user may operate many devices, each of which may provide a set of actions, such as installing firmware or software or viewing the contents of the device. However, in order to perform these actions, the user may have to interact with each device using a different user interface, resulting in an inconsistent user experience. Instead, a device action service may allow a user to identify his or her devices, may identify the actions available for each device (e.g., by interacting with a device source of each device, such as a manufacturer); and upon the request of the user, may present a list of the user's devices and the actions available for each device. The actions may comprise hyperlinks to various portions of the website of the device source (e.g., a driver page and a service registration page), or controls invoking the requested action upon the device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2015Publication date: September 3, 2015Inventors: Graeme Andrew Kyle Roche, Allison O'Mahony, Rachel Karin Popkin, Francisco Jose Garcia-Ascanio
