Publication number: 20140298219Abstract: Techniques for visual selection and grouping are described. In at least some embodiments, multiple visuals can be selected and grouped such that visuals can be manipulated as a group and various actions can be applied to visuals as a group. For example, in response to a user placing a group of visuals in a display region, the visuals can be arranged in the display region based on a specific arrangement order. According to one or more embodiments, visuals can be rearranged to reduce gaps between visuals, such as to present a consolidated view of visuals and to conserve display space. Visuals can be grouped together (e.g., based on user selection), and selectable options presented that are selectable to apply various actions to the grouped visuals.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2013Publication date: October 2, 2014Inventors: Ishita Kapur, Henri-Charles Machalani, Marina Dukhon Taylor, Peter J.

Patent number: 8719168Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to silently sign in a user of an offline game title onto an online service. The user is afforded access to select online services to facilitate future online gaming. In a described implementation, a method is disclosed. The method silently signs in a user of an offline game title onto an online gaming service. As a result, the signed-in user may receive one or more online services such as an in-game notification, a friend request (e.g., inviting a user to become a friend), a cross-title game invitation, and/or data corresponding to a friends list.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2010Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Andrew M.
