  • Patent number: 10003561
    Abstract: Technologies are described for modification of conversation presentation for enhanced user experience. Parts of the conversation may be detected and analyzed for their properties such as who sent a message, who received, when, was anyone left out from or added to the conversation, etc. The extracted properties and analyzed information may then be used to reverse a chronological order of the conversation and present it using interactive features such as collapsing and expanding parts of the presented information, providing a summary, removing unnecessary content, and comparable features.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: June 19, 2018
    Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLC
    Inventors: Charles Duze, Mark Sunderland, Andrew Himberger, Tali Roth, Matthew Wood, Ryan Gregg, David De La Brena, Malia Douglas
  • Patent number: 9645978
    Abstract: Techniques for the automatic animation of document content are described. An apparatus may comprise a difference component operative to receive an old layout of a document and a new layout of the document, the new layout corresponding to an application of one or more changes to the old layout of the document, the difference component operative to determine a set of differences between the old layout and the new layout, and an animation layer generation component operative to generate a set of animation layers from the set of differences. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 8959431
    Abstract: Architecture generates low resolution placeholder content that preserves the usefulness of application responsiveness by preserving and displaying the structure of the content. This facilitates decreased memory requirements associated with pre-rendering structurally-intact content. The architecture enables the storing of pre-rendered content at a lower zoom level than is intended for actual display to require fewer resources, pre-rendering content at a lower zoom level to allow the application to adjust for the lower zoom level to provide more structural integrity than would be achieved rendering at full display zoom level and compressing the resulting data, stretching the pre-rendered content to the zoom level that is intended for display in order to achieve a low resolution appearance that merges directly with the full resolution content, and transitioning between low resolution content and full resolution content when the full resolution content becomes available.
