Patent number: 10824531Abstract: Various models may enable a first device to share a device resource with a second device in various contexts, such as sharing computing sessions via terminal services; sharing displays via display mirroring; and sharing input components across devices. However, such techniques often utilize ad hoc sharing models that depend on configuration and/or administrative access of each device; limit the capabilities of such sharing; and/or exhibit security concerns. Instead, a target device may advertise an availability of a target device resource. A host device may request the target device to lend the target device resource to the computing environment of the host device. The target device may reserve the target device resource for the host device, which may then integrate the target device resource into the host computing environment. The model may enable the user to utilize resources even from target devices that the user is not otherwise permitted to use.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2018Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Issa Y. Khoury, Darren Ray Davis, Petteri Mikkola, Elizabeth Fay Threlkeld, Kenton Allen Shipley, Keri Kruse Moran, Ramrajprabu Balasubramanian, Patrick Derks

Patent number: 10635296Abstract: In many computing scenarios, a user of a primary device may wish to incorporate an auxiliary device in the presentation of an application. Such incorporation may involve a terminal services session that projects the computing environment of the primary device onto the auxiliary device; mirroring the computing environment of the primary device through the auxiliary device; and/or utilizing applications that interoperate with client applications executing on the second device. However, such techniques may not fully reflect the properties of each device, and/or may only apply to particular applications and/or configurations.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2014Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Elizabeth Fay Threlkeld, William Scott Stauber, Petteri Mikkola, Keri Kruse Moran, Issa Y.

Patent number: 10346031Abstract: Embodiments provide systems and methods for activating applications in a distributed asynchronous system based on detecting touches on a display. The system detects an input on a display. The input on the display may be, for example, from a human touch or a pointing device. An input state manager executes hit-testing on a visual tree to identify a selected view using the input on the display. The selected view is compared to an active view. A shell in the system is notified when the selected view does not match the active view. The input state manager is then notified if the selected view should be made a new active view. The system instructs an application activation service to activate an application associated with the selected view. An input state manager is notified when the application associated with the selected view has been made an active view.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2017Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Harley M.

Patent number: 10277649Abstract: A user may interact with a collection of devices that each exhibit particular device properties. Where each device executes and presents an isolated computing environment, inconsistencies may arise in the user interaction by the user with different devices. Alternatively, a terminal server may present a computing environment to various auxiliary devices, but such presentation may fail to utilize some device properties of some devices, and/or may present a computing environment that is not suitable for some devices. Instead, a primary device of the device collection may adapt a primary computing environment to an auxiliary computing environment for each auxiliary device, based upon its device properties. Upon receiving a request to execute an application, the primary device may execute the application within the auxiliary computing environment, and may adapt the application based upon the device properties. The primary device may stream each auxiliary computing environment to the respective auxiliary device.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2017Date of Patent: April 30, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Elizabeth Fay Threlkeld, William Scott Stauber, Petteri Mikkola, Keri Kruse Moran, Issa Y.

Patent number: 9860306Abstract: In many computing scenarios, a computing environment of a device may present applications through various presentation components, such as displays, speakers, and headphones. However, navigating among the applications currently presented within the computing environment may be difficult for the user; e.g., for a device presenting many applications on many displays that share an application stack, the application that the user wishes to select may be buried deep within the shared application stack. In accordance with the techniques presented herein, the device may generate an application presentation history for each presentation component, indicating applications that have previously been presented through the presentation component.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2014Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Elizabeth Fay Threlkeld, William Scott Stauber, Petteri Mikkola, Keri Kruse Moran, Issa Y.

Patent number: 9678640Abstract: Multi-display computing environments are often represented as a unified coordinate space, where each display presents application views within a coordinate region. Such arrangements may enable features such as application views that span multiple displays, but such features may not appeal to users. Additionally, such representations may complicate the application of layouts to particular displays while maintaining relationships among application views. Instead, a view management architecture may generate a user interface collection comprising, for respective displays, an arrangement of view entries for respective views presented on the display. Entries for new views may be added to the arrangement for a particular display, and may be contained within an application container encapsulating all views of an application on the display.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2014Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: William Scott Stauber, Ramrajprabu Balasubramanian, Patrick Derks, Kenton Allen Shipley, Darren Ray Davis
