Patent number: 10936797Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods, systems, and computer products for providing state-based revisions in a document collaboration system. In some aspects, a plurality of users may be simultaneously editing the same document on their respective computing devices. The document may comprise a plurality of editable objects having unique objects identifiers. In such aspects, when a user edits an object in a local version of the document, a state-based revision (“SBR”) record is created. The SBR is populated with information such as, information describing the type of object being edited, a descriptor that uniquely identifies the specific instance of the object being edited, a collection of common references that can be adjusted by the document collaboration engine and an opaque binary stream comprising the modified state of the edited object. The SBR record is then transmitted to one or more additional devices.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2019Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Nicholas Ryan, Danny Khen, Jenefer Monroe, Alexander Babanov, Kartik Nathan, Dmitri Kotchetov, Konrad Tupaj, Douglas Mangini, Sam Gensburg, Duane Campbell

Patent number: 9792273Abstract: A spreadsheet application or other application supporting formulaic cells that automatically provides support for a number of diverse formulaic functions. The automatically provided diverse formulaic functions include a function returning the value of the formula logic if the logic can be evaluated without an error. Another function finds a value in a formulaic cell that is in the same row as a particular value from the first column and the same column as a particular value in the first row. Other functions allow a selection of a set of multiple lookup rows and columns for matching the values used as variables in the function. The spreadsheet application is further configured to automatically supply other functions in addition to those described.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2014Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Roy Simkhay, Charles D. Ellis, Alexander Babanov, David F. Gainer, Daniel P. Cory, Matthew J. Androski, Andrew J. Becker, Jeremy R. Pankratz, Monica McAmis, Simon Loftus Peyton Jones

Publication number: 20140372369Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for a system to manage changes to a shared electronic document. In embodiments, a client side method is used to manage changes to a shared electronic document. The method includes receiving a change to a locally stored rendition of a shared electronic document, and updating a change history. In embodiments, the change history captures the change made to the locally stored rendition of a shared electronic document. The method also includes sending information regarding the change to a server, receiving information regarding a master copy of the shared electronic document, and determining based on the received information the change was accepted by the server and applied to the master copy of the shared electronic document.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2013Publication date: December 18, 2014Inventors: Alexander Babanov, Dan Y. Khen, Nicholas Ryan, David Samuel Gensburg, Harold Duane Campbell, Konrad Tupaj, Dmitri Kotchetov, Kartik Nathan, Douglas Allen Mangini, Jenefer Monroe
