Patent number: 10565296Abstract: A web template author can author interactive web templates via a static markup language-based authoring tool. The web template author can insert static markup language snippets representing one or more configurable controls of a web template into a static markup language-based authoring tool. Each snippet includes a definition of a preview of a configurable control in a static markup language as well as one or more disabled CMS instructions for the configurable control. The web template author can configure and view previews of the inserted configurable controls as they are added to the web template being developed within the static markup language-based authoring tool. When the web template author is satisfied with a version of a web template, the web template author can upload the static markup language definition of the web template to the server, where the web template is converted into a CMS-compatible web template.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2011Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Adri Verlaan, John Ronald Berkeley, Ethan Gur-esh, Oguz Mut, Kaare Koehler Hoevik, Alexander Lee Smith

Patent number: 9887873Abstract: Web page optimization systems and methods are disclosed herein. In one implementation, a number of master pages and page layouts used to generate the web pages are defined. A number of channels are then defined to be associated with certain ones of the master pages and the page layouts. User device generating the request, a browser used to generate the request, or other suitable components of a user agent string in a web page request is then identified. A web page is dynamically rendered in response to the identified components of the user agent string using the master page and the page layout associated with a channel identified by such components of the web page request.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2013Date of Patent: February 6, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Mihai Octavian Coman, John Ronald Berkeley, Ethan Gur-esh, Oguz Mut, Adri Verlaan, Yuan Gao, Rahul Ramesh Deshpande

Patent number: 9811333Abstract: Once a set of inter-dependent items are generated (such as compiled), each of the items is re-named with a content-based name that is generated for each of those items. A version-specific catalog of the inter-dependent items is generated, that maps an item identifier to the content-based name for each item. The re-named items and the version-specific catalogs are loaded to a publication system for consumption.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2015Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Victor Magidson, Christopher Miceli, Alex Bulankou, Adri Verlaan

Patent number: 9208249Abstract: Profiling may be provided. First, scripts may be inserted into a first page to create a modified page and the modified page may be requested from a profiler server once or a plurality of times. Next, the modified page may be received from the profiler server a correspond number of times in response to requesting the modified page from the profiler server and time markers may be retrieve from the received modified page. The time markers may correspond to the inserted scripts. Then a profile may be rendered based upon the retrieved time markers and the rendered profile may be displayed.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2009Date of Patent: December 8, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Sterling J. Crockett, Adri Verlaan, Timothy P. McConnell, Frederico A. Mameri, William J. Griffin

Publication number: 20140351796Abstract: Web pages are automatically checked for compliance with specified accessibility rules. When accessibility compliance testing is enabled, code to check for accessibility compliance is automatically injected and run to test one or more elements of the web page for accessibility compliance. Once the code is injected, the code is executed to determine the compliance with the specified accessibility rules. All/portion of the elements on the web page may be checked for accessibility compliance. The web page may be checked for accessibility compliance at one or more times. For example, the page may be checked for accessibility compliance upon loading and/or upon changes (e.g. AJAX event) which modifies the page markup. As long as the accessibility compliance testing is enabled, each page that is loaded by a service may be checked for accessibility compliance.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2013Publication date: November 27, 2014Inventors: Ethan Gur-esh, Mahmoud Bassiouny, Cheuk Dong, Adri Verlaan, Alyssa Levitz

Publication number: 20140108945Abstract: A web page optimization system disclosed herein allows a user to generate web pages that are optimized for use with different user devices. In one implementation of the web page optimization system, a number of master pages and page layouts used to generate the web pages are defined, with each of the master pages defining generalized regions shared by all pages of a website and each of the page layouts defining the content and the arrangement of such content on the web pages. The web page optimization system also defines a number of channels and associates the master pages and the page layouts to the channels. Each of the channels is associated with a user device. The web page optimization system identifies components the user agent string of a web page request, such as the user device generating the request, the browser used to generate the request, etc.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2013Publication date: April 17, 2014Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Mihai Octavian Coman, John Ronald Berkeley, Ethan Gur-esh, Oguz Mut, Adri Verlaan, Yuan Gao, Rahul Ramesh Deshpande

Patent number: 8694904Abstract: A full-featured cross-browser hybrid rich text editor for editing webpage content. The hybrid editor is integrated with a user interface (e.g., toolbar, menu bar), and provides the appropriate context-sensitive behavior when users interact with the user interface and the interface contents. The hybrid editor responds immediately to basic commands (e.g., cursor movements, inserts, selections, repeated key presses, etc.), and employs behaviors and effects that are more aligned with familiar editor experiences, such as in a word processor. The editor architecture leverages the strengths of both the current browser content editability and JavaScript, limits the browser-based content editing to the insertion pointer, paste, processes content as the content is entered or when cursor is moved around, and implements an abstraction layer that maps browser-specific functions independent of the browser to the underlying support of the hybrid editor.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2008Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Adri Verlaan, George Perantatos

Publication number: 20130117656Abstract: A portion of the CMS stage of web site development is automated to convert a static markup language mockup and its referenced resources into a renderable CMS web template. One or more features in the mockup are represented by one or more static markup language elements, which are replaced by one or more CMS instructions during the conversion process. The placement of the CMS instructions within the CMS web template is based on the type of feature and/or the type of the corresponding CMS instruction. Further, one or more additional CMS instructions are added to satisfy a rendering condition, so that the CMS web template is renderable and/or functional as part of a webpage with associated content provided through a CMS.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2011Publication date: May 9, 2013Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Adri Verlaan, John Ronald Berkeley, Ethan Gur-esh, Oguz Mut, Kaare Koehler Hoevik, Alexander Lee Smith
