Patent number: 10551990Abstract: Various embodiments utilize context positioning of an input mechanism to convey at least one action associated with the input mechanism. At times, the input mechanism is associated with multiple actions. Input received via at the input mechanism can be analyzed to determine which action of the multiple actions to perform. In some embodiments, the input mechanism can be physically and/or visually moved to a different location based upon the determined action.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2017Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Ritika Kapadia, Michael John Patten, Sean Obafemi Lyndersay, Melissa S. Kerr, Sean Gary Nordberg, Marty Joseph Hall, Mark Yalovsky, Paula J. Chuchro

Patent number: 10542106Abstract: Content pre-render and pre-fetch techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a likelihood is predicted of subsequent navigation to content associated with a network address based at least in part on monitored navigation performed by a computing device to one or more network addresses. A determination is then made whether to cause the computing device to pre-fetch and pre-render the content based at least in part on the prediction.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2017Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Ritika Kapadia, Venkatraman V. Kudallur, Aniket A. Patankar, Tyler M. Barton, Shawn E. Pickett, Nomita Paul, James R. Wordelman, Qiaolin Mao, Yan Ke, Hao Hu, Anthony T. Chor

Patent number: 10282475Abstract: Systems, methods and computer program products are described herein that collect and analyze data generated by embedded systems included within a user's devices to generate recommendations for presentation to the user within the context of the user's web browser. The recommendations may comprise, for example, suggested information resources and/or search queries. Such recommendations may be presented to the user as part of a new tab page or within an address bar of the web browser's graphical user interface. In accordance with further embodiments, the user device data is used by a search engine to generate search results, and/or a ranking of search results.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2014Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Michael J. Patten, Ritika Kapadia

Publication number: 20180157751Abstract: A service maintains information regarding one or more aspects of Web content, such as Web pages, that can be accessed by a computing device. The same service or a different service (e.g., a digital assistant) also maintains information regarding the user of the computing device. When a user navigates to Web content using a Web application, such as a Web browser, the services are accessed to obtain information regarding the Web content navigated to, information regarding the user, and/or user selectable tasks or actions. The Web application displays the obtained information to the user along with the Web content. The Web application displays the obtained information without altering the obtained Web content. Optionally, the Web application displays an indication that additional information regarding the Web content is available, and displays the obtained information (e.g., automatically or in response to receiving a user input request to display that additional information).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2017Publication date: June 7, 2018Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Ritika Kapadia, Sean Obafemi Lyndersay, David J. Sheldon, Kun Cong, Meng Lu, Liwei Chen, Jun Yin, Michael John Patten, Richa Prasad
