Publication number: 20230376497Abstract: Various embodiments provide a so-called companion experience in which content consumed on a primary screen can serve as a source for an automatic search that returns related content that can be presented on an auxiliary screen. The companion experience can be considered to reside in a layer that can be moved across different screens. The different screens can include different physical screens, such as those associated with different computing devices, or the same physical screen in which the companion experience would be rendered in a frame or sub-window.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2023Publication date: November 23, 2023Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Sean E.

Publication number: 20150356088Abstract: A geocoding architecture that generates and associates one or more tile documents with geocoded tiles. When connected entities are defined, the connected entity attributes are collected in a single tile document so that tile-document terms are attributes of all connected entities. These terms later serve as keys that enable search for tiles relevant for a given query. Entity documents are created that are an aggregation of entity attributes. Like the entity document, the tile document serves as an aggregator for all the geospatial entities within a pre-determined surface area. Search is then performed on the content of tile and entity documents.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2014Publication date: December 10, 2015Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Pavel Berkhin, Florin Teodorescu, Bimal Mehta, Andrew P.

Patent number: 8244740Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that facilitate providing suggested sites in accordance with target sites are provided. Web-browsed data is locally stored on a user device and uploaded to a suggestion engine. Additional web-browsed data is communicated to the suggestion engine via a suggested site request that provides a request for suggested sites related to a target site. In embodiments, the web-browsed data contained in the suggested site request includes data not previously uploaded to the suggestion engine. The suggestion engine utilizes the web-browsed data uploaded to the suggestion engine and the web-browsed data communicated via the suggested site request to provide suggested sites in association with the target site.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2008Date of Patent: August 14, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Richard J. Gruenhagen, Andrew P. Oakley, Maxim V. Stepin, Christopher A. Meyers, Srinath R. Aaleti, Jason A. Bolla, Nikolay A. Glushnev
