Publication number: 20220335938Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for coordinating interactions between a user device and a plurality of accessory devices. In one example, a user device receives information identifying one or more accessory devices in communication with the user device. The user device may implement accessory interaction instances for each of the identified accessories. A first accessory interaction instance can be associated with a first accessory among the identified accessories and receive a first audio input from the first accessory corresponding to a user request. The first accessory interaction instance can process a portion of the received audio input and receive a first response from a server computer. The user device may then transmit the first response to the first accessory device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2022Publication date: October 20, 2022Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jared S.

Patent number: 10664536Abstract: Various techniques for consumption of user-filtered data on a client device are described herein. In one example, a method includes storing a detected filter corresponding to an object list and generating a data request based on the stored filter, wherein the data request can populate the object list. The method can also include retrieving data from a data repository based on the data request in response to a detected action, the retrieved data comprising a subset of fields corresponding to at least one object to be retrieved. Additionally, the method can include updating the object list based on the retrieved data and displaying the subset of fields of the at least one object in the object list.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2015Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Uma Subramanian, Andrew Byrne

Patent number: 10615968Abstract: A method includes receiving, at a key management system from one or more client devices, one or more requests for cryptographic keys stored in respective clouds of a plurality of cloud service providers in a multi-cloud environment, the cryptographic keys being distributed across different ones of the respective clouds of the plurality of cloud service providers in the multi-cloud environment. The method also includes determining a location of a given one of the requested cryptographic keys on one or more of the clouds of the cloud service providers in the multi-cloud environment, retrieving the given cryptographic key from the determined location in the multi-cloud environment, providing the given cryptographic key to a given one of the client devices, and shuffling the distribution of the cryptographic keys across the clouds of the plurality of cloud service providers in the multi-cloud environment.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2018Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: EMC IP Holding Company LLCInventors: Andrew Byrne, Donagh A.

Patent number: 9736139Abstract: The claimed subject matter includes techniques for storing sensitive data. An example system includes a processor and a computer-readable memory storage device storing executable instructions that can be executed by the processor to cause the processor to send authentication credentials to a service to request authorization to store sensitive data with the service. The example system also includes instructions that can be executed by the processor to cause the processor to capture sensitive data from a sensor on a device. The example system also includes instructions that can be executed by the processor to cause the processor to bypass storing the captured sensitive data in any non-volatile memory in the device and stream the captured sensitive data to the service from the sensor.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2015Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: B.

Patent number: 8954925Abstract: Disclosed herein is user augmented reverse engineering, where, in one embodiment, during the generation of a graphical representation of a codebase, database, binary and the like, users may be provided with an option to ‘focus’. For example, during the graphical generation of a large codebase, a user may select one or things to limit the extent of the graphical representation generation. In another embodiment, a graphical generation may encounter one or more pre-defined boundary conditions. Upon encountering a boundary condition, the generation of the graphical representation may determine that it is unable to complete the graphical generation within a pre-defined set of requirements without additional instructions. Thus, the graphical generation may complete and then prompt a user for solutions to any boundary conditions it has encountered, or the generation may pause at each boundary condition it encounters and prompt a user for a solution to the boundary condition.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2010Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Suhail Dutta, Tracey Trewin, Andrew Byrne
