Patent number: 10552236Abstract: Disclosed in some examples, are methods, systems, and machine-readable mediums which provide for a focus management framework that provides for greater knowledge and control of focus transitions. An event listener is attached to a root focusable element of the DOM. The event listener may receive all focus interactions with any child element. By listening for all focus events the framework may provide more powerful events that provide both the source element and destination element as event parameters. This framework allows many different applications, such as for example, allowing the application to customize the order focus is transitioned (from the browser's default order), to allow for a history of focus events, to enable a declarative language for defining behaviors for elements of the application that need to be involved with scenarios that depend on focus transition, aggregating messages sent to assistive technologies triggered by a focus transition, and the like.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2017Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Moein Pahlavan Yali, Patrick C Miller, John G Nguyen

Patent number: 10552428Abstract: An on-line social network system is configured to generate a news feed for a member by processing updates originating from different sources using different first pass ranker models. The first pass ranker models generate respective sets of raw scores, which are calibrated based on a consistent scale of feed engagement metrics of interest, such as a click through rate. The calibrated scores are then used as training data to train a second pass ranker and/or as input into the second pass ranker at the time when the second pass ranker is to generate respective ranks for items in an inventory of updates identified as potentially of interest to a focus member and to select a subset of items from the inventory based on the generated respective ranks.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2016Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Pannagadatta K.
