Patent number: 8166388Abstract: Overlaying electronic ink over a document. A typical scenario may be where one it would be useful to mark up a document with electronic ink, such as by making handwritten comments, drawings, and the like over the underlying document. In some embodiments, a developer may easily define an inking surface, such as a transparent or opaque window, over a document. The inking surface may act as an input interface such that a user may write onto the inking surface such that is appears that the document itself is being marked up.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2002Date of Patent: April 24, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Alexander Gounares, Steve Dodge, Tobiasz A.

Publication number: 20110313859Abstract: Techniques to provide geo-targeted advertising are described. A technique may include displaying a map to an advertiser at a first zoom level. The advertiser may stay at the first zoom level or change to a second zoom level. The advertiser may also create a user-defined area of the map. The advertiser may select an advertising campaign, and the advertising system may associate the selected advertising campaign with the user-defined area and the selected zoom level. The advertising system may then provide the selected advertising campaign for display in a mapping application operating on a client device when the user-defined area and the selected zoom level are viewed in the mapping application. Other embodiments are described and claimed.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2010Publication date: December 22, 2011Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: William Stillwell, Darrell Blegen, Melissa Dunn, Daniel Schiappa, Martin O'Keefe, Arthur Chen, Benjamin-Joseph Woodall, John Carey, Alexander Gounares, Shankar Vaidyanathan, Jen-Hsien Chien, Marek Dawiec

Patent number: 7925987Abstract: A control and its associated programming interface for allowing entry of electronic ink, editing and other manipulation of the ink, and/or recognition of the ink. Ink may be stored in a data structure such as an ink object that permits later retrieval by applications. As is the case with text that may be bolded, underlined, italicized, and the like, the describe control and its programming interface may permit ink information to be manipulated as easily as text, while providing the richness of handwritten ink.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2002Date of Patent: April 12, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Alexander Gounares, Steve Dodge, Tobiasz A.

Publication number: 20100332313Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates user selectable advertising networks. Advertising content can be formed into cohesive subsets of advertising. These subsets can be related to criteria to facilitate selection between available subsets of advertising content. A selection component can facilitate selection of the available subsets of advertising content based on these criteria. The criteria can be related to user preferences. Further the criteria can relate to explicit user preferences such as opt-in or opt-out indicia. The user can be presented with more relevant advertising content where user selection of advertising networks occurs.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 25, 2009Publication date: December 30, 2010Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: John M.
