Patent number: 10599955Abstract: Systems and methods for selecting representative photos for a photo album are described. An example computing device may include a display, a logic device, and a storage device storing instructions executable by the logic device to, for each known individual recognized in one or more photos of the album, determine an affinity score for that known individual indicating a connection of that known individual to a) a user of the computing device and b) a context corresponding to the album. The instructions may be further executable to select one or more known individuals based on the affinity score to be included in a subset of the known individuals recognized in one or more photos of the album, and select a representative photo of each of the subset of the known individuals to be included in one or more of a highlight photoset and a cover photo for the album.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2018Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: David James Lee, Richard Prologo, Ankur Khator, Joshua Debner, Benjamin J. Smith

Publication number: 20140150004Abstract: Embodiments for generating advertising effectiveness surveys are presented. One example method, performed in a computing device comprising a data-holding subsystem and logic subsystem, comprises receiving a request, the request associated with an identified user, from a video presentation device for a video content item, and providing the video content item to the video presentation device. Information relating to an image analysis is received in order to identify one or more image elements in the video content item, and information regarding user playback actions during playback of the video content item is received and stored. A user survey based upon the information related to the image analysis and the user playback actions is automatically retrieved, the user survey is sent to a device associated with the identified user, and a response to the user survey is received.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 26, 2012Publication date: May 29, 2014Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Praveen Vemparala, Saleel Sathe, Richard Prologo, Sean P. Alexander, David S. Alles, Ginny Musante

Publication number: 20060235799Abstract: A method is provided for a computing device to copy (burn) a playlist of tracks to a portable medium, where each track corresponds to a piece of digital content. At least one of the pieces of content is rights-management (RM) protected and accordingly is burned to the portable medium only in accordance with a corresponding digital license.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2005Publication date: October 19, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Brian Evans, Clifford Strom, Geoffrey Dunbar, Richard Prologo

Publication number: 20060236097Abstract: A method of registering network devices in a digital rights management system (DRMS) includes receiving a digital certificate transmitted by the network device requesting registration and verifying the validity of the certificate. The DRMS may then send cryptographic information to the applying network device. The network device may be authorized for registration via a user interface to the DRMS. The DRMS may conduct a proximity test to determine of the network device is proximate to the DRMS. If the certificate is validated, authorization is received, and the proximity test indicates that the network device is proximate to the DRMS, the network device may be registered. A registered network device is then authorized to play protected digital content.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2005Publication date: October 19, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Richard Prologo, Eduardo Oliveira, Clifford Strom, Brian Evans, Benjamin Cutter, Anand Paka

Publication number: 20050262022Abstract: A sink sends a registration request to a source and the source validates same, and the source sends a registration response including a secret to the sink. The source then sends a proximity message including a nonce to the sink and concurrently notes a start time. The sink employs the secret and the nonce to generate a proximity value and sends same to the sources. The source receives the proximity value and concurrently notes an end time, verifies the proximity value based on the secret and the nonce, calculates from the noted start and end times an elapsed time, compares the elapsed time to a predetermined threshold value, decides from the comparison whether the sink satisfies the proximity requirement, and registers the sink as being able to access content from such source if the sink satisfies the proximity requirement.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2005Publication date: November 24, 2005Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Eduardo Oliveira, James Alkove, Richard Prologo, Troy Batterberry, Anand Paka
