Patent number: 10678890Abstract: A client computing device is disclosed that comprises a processor and an electronic personal assistant application program. The personal assistant application program may be configured to capture user data associated with user activities across a plurality of computer programs. The user data may be sent to a personal assistant user data interpretation engine. A health-related suggestion based on at least a subset of the user data and anonymized statistics of a user population retrieved from an aggregated knowledge base may be received. The health-related suggestion may be displayed on a display associated with the client computing device.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2015Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Hadas Bitran, Todd Holmdahl, Eric Horvitz, Desney S. Tan, Dennis Paul Schmuland, Adam T. Berns, Brian Bilodeau

Patent number: 10303843Abstract: A computing system is provided. The computing system includes an electronic personal assistant application server configured to determine a target location for a selected user and time, determine a group of other registered users who are or will be physically present at the target location at or around the predetermined time, determine group health data representing a health condition of the group of other registered users, the group health data being determined based on anonymous medical records statistics for the group of other registered users, the anonymous medical records statistics including biometric data sensed by at least one biometric sensor associated with at least one user computing device of one of the other registered users, identify a health risk level for the target location using the group health data, and generate an activity warning for the target location based on the health risk level.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2015Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Hadas Bitran, Todd Holmdahl, Eric Horvitz, Desney S.

Publication number: 20170039336Abstract: A computing system comprises a client computing device configured to execute a personal assistant application program. The personal assistant application program is configured to receive user data from interaction of a user with the client computing device, user interaction with additional devices, or system networked to the client computing device, to sense a user condition based on the user data received, to analyze the user condition to identify a user health issue, present, via a user interface associated with the client computing device, a suggestion for the user to treat, overcome or improve the user health issue, assess a degree to which the user has followed the suggestion, and modify subsequent suggestions to the user based on the degree to which the suggestion was followed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2015Publication date: February 9, 2017Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Hadas Bitran, Todd Holmdahl, Eric Horvitz, Desney S.

Patent number: 8185137Abstract: The claimed subject matter relates to a first architecture that can create an intensity map based upon intensity scores, and to a second architecture that can provide intensity scores and can request and receive the intensity map. Intensity scores can relate to an approval or a level of satisfaction of a current location of a user and can be conveniently provided, in some cases with a single keystroke (e.g., 0-9 from a conventional cell phone keypad) by, say, mobile device users. Numerous intensity scores can be received and aggregated to produce an intensity map of a given area or region. Portions of the intensity map can be provided to requesting devices, potentially filtered based upon a variety of criteria. As a result, the intensity map can provide in substantially real-time a visual indication of locations or entities that might be interesting to explore.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2007Date of Patent: May 22, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Adam T. Berns, James E. Allard, Nicholas C. Baker, Todd E. Holmdahl, Oliver R. Roup, David H. Sloo, Curtis G. Wong, Dawson Yee

Publication number: 20090113480Abstract: The claimed subject matter relates to an architecture that can establish a tailored and/or personalized content channel based various aspects of a social network. The content channel can be interfaced with one or more devices, and can be configured to serve content based upon a content schedule. The content schedule can be programmed based upon selections or recommendations of a member of a user's social network. The architecture can further maintain presence information associated with a member of the social network, such as indicia of the member's current behavior or activity.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2007Publication date: April 30, 2009Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: James E. Allard, David Sebastien Alles, Nicholas R. Baker, Adam T. Berns, Steven Drucker, James C. Finger, Todd E. Holmdahl, Oliver R. Roup, David H. Sloo, Curtis G. Wong, Dawson Yee

Publication number: 20080320516Abstract: The claimed subject matter relates to an architecture that can establish a tailored and/or personalized content channel. The content channel can be interfaced with one or more devices, and can be configured to serve particular content or types of content as well as to filter particular content or types of content. The content can be selected or filtered based upon a wide variety of factors that can be expressly specified, or in some cases intelligently inferred. In addition, the architecture can provide detailed analysis of content and summarize various content consumption habits or histories.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2007Publication date: December 25, 2008Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Dawson Yee, James E.

Publication number: 20080319773Abstract: The claimed subject matter relates to architectures for providing and accessing a service that facilitates an enhanced travel experience. The architectures can determine a location of a subscribing mobile device, match a profile relating to the device with available guides for a site in proximity to the location, and transmit a notification to the device of the availability of the guide(s). The architecture can also provide incentives to third-parties for authoring guides or content for guides as well as tools and/or templates to assist in guide creation. In addition, the architecture can receive requests from the device for guides as well as facilitate the output of the guide on the subscribing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2007Publication date: December 25, 2008Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Curtis G.
