Patent number: 9189147Abstract: Ink lag compensation techniques are described. In implementations, an input is recognized by a computing device as an ink stroke to be rendered on a display device of the computing device. An extension is predicted, by the computing device, to be applied to the ink stroke that is likely to be subsequently input in conjunction with the ink stroke. The ink stroke and the extension are output for concurrent display on the display device of the computing device.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2010Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Yasser Asmi, Scott R. Marison, Mohsen Agsen

Patent number: 8990253Abstract: A media player may be adapted to manage presence information distribution and access to facilitate media communication between compatible devices. Devices connecting in an ad-hoc or other network topology include a plurality of presence settings that determine how or if the device appears to be available for communication to other devices over the network. Additionally, the presence settings identify other, specific devices or groups of devices that may communicate with a device. By comparing the presence settings of a sending device with the settings of a receiving device, the receiving device may determine a presence state for all devices within communication range.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2012Date of Patent: March 24, 2015Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Megan Lesley Tedesco, Yasser Asmi, Ivan J.

Patent number: 8868763Abstract: A media player may stream media content, such as music, to other media players over a data network connection, for example, a WiFi/802.11 connection. An encounter object may be used to keep a record of each media object transmitted. The encounter object may include information about the transmission itself, such as a date and time when the media object was transmitted and the source and destination media players involved. The encounter object may also include metadata about the media object, such as genre, album, title, and artist, if the media object is a song. The DJ session may also support user interaction, such as sharing library listings, suggesting next plays (requests), and polls.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2006Date of Patent: October 21, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Megan Lesley Tedesco, Yasser Asmi, Craig Lichtenstein, Jeffrey David Henshaw

Patent number: 8806027Abstract: A media player is adapted to organize and display nearby media device information between communicating media devices before a complete connection is established. A nearby media device receives a message that is either generally or specifically sent from another media device. The nearby device determines whether the sending media device is blocked and whether to accept the message. The nearby device accepts the message if it originates from a compatible source. If the message is accepted, the nearby device sends an acknowledgement message containing a unique device name and a device status to the sending device. The sending device then displays the unique device name and status.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2007Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Thamer A. Abanami, Megan Lesley Tedesco, Yasser Asmi, Ivan J. Leichtling

Patent number: 8248982Abstract: A portable media player device is capable of operating in a wireless network. The wireless portable media player device can bootstrap and synchronize with an ad hoc network with low power consumption. Neighbor portable media player devices in an ad hoc network can be discovered by the wireless portable media player device. The portable media player device can establish and terminate connections to neighbor portable media player devices. The portable media player device can transfer data in a high speed data transfer mode or a power save data transfer mode, while concurrently permitting discovery by other devices. The portable media player device operates in a power save mode during an inactive portion of a periodic discovery interval.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2010Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Abhishek Abhishek, Hui Shen, Jiandong Ruan, Yasser Asmi, David Proctor

Publication number: 20110072036Abstract: A page-based content storage system may be provided by a method of managing content which includes generating, from a plurality of electronic files containing displayable content, a plurality of viewpages, where each viewpage contains one or more portions of the displayable content and each viewpage is displayable in a single-page view. The method further includes assembling the viewpages into a journal to provide a page-based storage structure configured to enable individual, selective management of the viewpages based on properties associated with the one or more portions of the displayable content. The method further includes visually presenting the viewpages as single-page views accessible via a page-based user interface of a computing system.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2010Publication date: March 24, 2011Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Mohsen Agsen, Georg Petschnigg, Yasser Asmi, Justin Goshi

Patent number: 7389417Abstract: A modular user interface (UI) with consistent sensory interactions across a plurality of selectable UI features that involve user interactions with a computing device. A controlling program invokes one or more functional UI modules each of which performs a data function of the corresponding UI feature. The data functions do not involve any sensory interaction with the user. Instead, a UI plug-in implements sensory interactions with the user, such as displays, sounds, animation, data entry, etc. The sensory interactions are based on the data functions and a skin file of visual, audio, layout, and other sensory data. The skin file, the UI plug-in, and the functional UI modules can be independently modified or replaced at any time to change sensory and/or functional aspects of the UI features. A UI engine manages computing resources and acts as a common communication gateway between the controlling program, functional UI modules, and UI plug-in.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2004Date of Patent: June 17, 2008Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Alice Steinglass, Yasser Asmi, Roxana Arama
