Patent number: 9848283Abstract: A system in which a discovering wireless device formulates a first discovery zone. In response to discovering a discoverable wireless device within the zone, the discovering wireless device establish a wireless communication channel with the discoverable wireless device using a powered wireless protocol, and communicates security data with the discoverable wireless device using the wireless communication channel. The discovering wireless device also formulates a second discovery zone that is larger than the first discovery zone, and uses the security data to pair with a target device within the second discovery zone. Thus, pairing is significantly simplified from a user perspective.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2015Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Andrew W. Lovitt, Jason R. Farmer, Ted E. Dinklocker, Craig S. Brenner, Darko Kirovski

Publication number: 20120109994Abstract: A data-retrieval method for use on a portable electronic device. The method comprises receiving a query string at a user interface of the device and displaying one or more index strings on the user interface such that the relative prominence of each index string displayed increases with increasing resemblance of that index string to the query string. The method further comprises displaying an index string with greater prominence when a fixed-length substring of the query string occurs anywhere in the index string, regardless of position. In this manner, the relevance of prominently displayed index strings increases as more characters are appended to the query string, even if the query string contains errors.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2010Publication date: May 3, 2012Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Yun-Cheng Ju, Frank Liu, Yen-Tsang Lee, Jason Farmer, Ted E.

Patent number: 7770069Abstract: User input defines transmission filter rules to be met when sending an error report to a support provider. User input also defines collection filter rules to be met when including failure data within an error report. Error reports corresponding to crash failures at clients are filtered with the transmission filter rules to determine which of the error reports to send to the support provider, and each error report to be sent to the support provider is further filtered to remove any failure data that fails to satisfy the collection filter rules. Each error report that satisfies the transmission filter rules, along with the failure data satisfying the collection filter rules, is sent to the support provider for analysis. Standard and or custom failure responses corresponding to the failures at the clients may be retrieved and sent to the clients in accordance with the collection filter rules.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2008Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Allen K. Prescott, Shanti P. Punukollu, Su Chin Chang, Ted E. Dinklocker, Komal Kashiramka
