Patent number: 11841998Abstract: Methods and systems are provided that are directed to automatically adjusting a user interface based on tilt position of a digital drawing board. The digital drawing board has a tiltable screen with a sensor. The tiltable screen may be fixed in a stable tilt position. A sensor is used to determine that the digital drawing board has a first tilt position. The digital drawing board displays a first user interface associated with the first tilt position. The first user interface may be associated with a first use mode, and may also be based on an application running on the digital drawing board. When the sensor senses that the digital drawing board has moved from the first tilt position to a second tilt position, it automatically displays a second user interface associated with a second tilt position. The second user interface may be associated with a second use mode.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2022Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Kenneth Paul Hinckley, Hugo Karl Denis Romat, Christopher Mervin Collins, Nathalie Riche, Michel Pahud, Adam Samuel Riddle, William Arthur Stewart Buxton

Publication number: 20220091681Abstract: Techniques for improving the convenience of activating different computing applications on a mobile computing device are disclosed. Sensors associated with a mobile computing device (e.g., accelerometers, gyroscopes, light sensors, microphones, image capture sensors) may receive inputs of various physical conditions to which the mobile computing device is being subjected. Based on one or more of these inputs, the mobile computing device may automatically select a content presentation mode that is likely to improve the consumption of the content by the user. In other embodiments, image analysis may be used to access different mobile computing applications.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2021Publication date: March 24, 2022Applicant: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Jennifer Darmour, Adam Samuel Riddle, Loretta Marie Grande, Diego Pantoja-Navajas, Roberto Espinosa, Arunachalam Murugan

Patent number: 11023070Abstract: An input mode trigger is detected so that a computing system treats inputs from a touch sensing device as touch inputs. A focus area input mechanism is displayed on the display screen. A hover mode touch input is detected, and a touch input on the touch sensing device is mirrored by corresponding movement of visual indicia on the focus area input mechanism on the display screen. Other touch gestures are used to perform operations within the focus area input mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2020Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jessica Chen, Jonathan Marc Holley, Christopher Court, Taylor Jordan Hartman, Adam Samuel Riddle

Patent number: 10872199Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for modifying electronic documents. While a user is editing an electronic document on a canvas of an application, a trigger event related to an electronic pen is received (e.g., explicitly or inferred). The electronic pen has one or more associated attributes (e.g., type of pen, color of pen, thickness of line, transparency value). In response to the trigger event, which of a plurality of advanced productivity actions related to editing to apply to the electronic document is determined based upon at least one of the associated attributes. The advanced production actions can include, for example, styles, formatting, and/or themes. The electronic document is modified in accordance with the determined advanced productivity action.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2018Date of Patent: December 22, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Elise Leigh Livingston, Daniel Yancy Parish, Adam Samuel Riddle

Patent number: 10747949Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for presenting an overlay canvas in response to receiving an editing gesture to existing text on a canvas. In an implementation, user input is received comprising an inking gesture associated with existing text displayed on a canvas in a user interface. The inking gesture is then determined to comprise any of a plurality of editing gestures. In response to the inking gesture comprising an editing gesture, an overlay canvas is presented above the canvas in the user interface. Additional user input is received comprising inking on the overlay canvas. The inking is then incorporated into the existing text on the canvas.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2018Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Elise Livingston, Adam Samuel Riddle, L.

Publication number: 20200249825Abstract: An input mode trigger is detected so that a computing system treats inputs from a touch sensing device as touch inputs. A focus area input mechanism, which is smaller than a display screen controlled by the computing system, is displayed on the display screen. A maneuver touch input is detected, and the focus area input mechanism is moved, on the display screen, to a new position based upon the maneuver touch input. Other touch gestures are used to perform operations within the focus area input mechanism.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 18, 2019Publication date: August 6, 2020Inventors: Jessica Chen, Jonathan Marc Holley, Christopher Court, Taylor Jordan Hartman, Adam Samuel Riddle

Publication number: 20190318652Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology relate to digital inking technology. More specifically, some embodiments relate to use of intelligent scaffolding to teach gesture-based ink interactions. For example, in some embodiments telemetry data on user interactions with a user interface to an application can be collected at a client device. The telemetry data can be analyzed to identify user proficiency with a digital inking gesture. Upon determining a low user proficiency with the digital inking gesture, user interactions resembling a digital inking gesture within the application can be identified. A training interface can be automatically surfaced, on a display of the client device, with specifically scoped training information on the digital inking gesture to improve the user proficiency with the digital inking gesture.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 13, 2018Publication date: October 17, 2019Inventors: Elise LIVINGSTON, Adam Samuel RIDDLE, Allison SMEDLEY, Robin TROY
