Publication number: 20160149959Abstract: In one or more embodiments, a hit test thread which is separate from the main thread, e.g. the user interface thread, is utilized for hit testing on web content. Using a separate thread for hit testing can allow targets to be quickly ascertained. In cases where the appropriate response is handled by a separate thread, such as a manipulation thread that can be used for touch manipulations such as panning and pinch zooming, manipulation can occur without blocking on the main thread. This results in the response time that is consistently quick even on low-end hardware over a variety of scenarios.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 26, 2014Publication date: May 26, 2016Inventors: Shivaram Prabhakar, Darshan Vinodbhai Rajani, Marcelo Pessanha Farjalla, Xing Du, Sharmila Vijayan, David J. Moy, Jia-Hao Fan, Aarthi Natarajan

Patent number: 8631082Abstract: Various technologies pertaining to instant messaging are described herein. A persistent instant messaging group is created, wherein the persistent instant messaging group comprises a plurality of members and persists over a plurality of instant messaging sessions. Instances of an instant messaging application are installed on mobile telephones, and the instant messaging application is used to transmit instant messages between members of the persistent instant messaging group. Messages directed towards offline members of the persistent instant messaging group are transmitted to such members when they come online.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2012Date of Patent: January 14, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Brian Scott Moudy, Aarthi Natarajan, Asta Roseway, Geeven Singh, George Joy, Ranjib Singh Badh, Richard Michael Eames, Marcella C.

Patent number: 7603362Abstract: Ordered list management is described. An item's position within an ordered list is represented by a path value. A globally unique identifier (GUID) is appended to the path value to enable simultaneous or near-simultaneous modifications to the ordered list without conflict. Furthermore, an ordered list-specific seed value may be prepended to each item's path value to ensure clustering of ordered list items when two or more ordered lists are merged.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2004Date of Patent: October 13, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Geoffrey John Elliott, Brian J. Guarraci, Aarthi Natarajan, John D. Vert, Edward H. Wayt
