Patent number: 11947909Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for determining a language of a text string are presented. A language detection model may be maintained. The language detection model may comprise identities and weights for initial and final consonants, identities and weights for prefixes and suffixes, and identities and weights for vowel sequences, where each identity is derived from a training corpus. The weights may correspond to a frequency of a text unit in the corpus. A text string may be received and a match score between the text string and the language of the language detection model may be determined. The match score may be based on initial and final consonant scores, prefix and suffix scores, and/or vowel sequence scores for each word in the text string. If the match score meets a threshold value a follow-up action associated with the language may be performed.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2023Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Andrew Stuart Glass, Margaret Hope Magnus, Roland Radtke

Patent number: 11809702Abstract: The disclosed technologies address various technical and user experience problems by augmenting the functionality provided by virtual on-screen trackpads without requiring users to switch between modes. In this way, users can access extended functionality without interfering with expected traditional trackpad functionality (e.g. moving a cursor, clicking, and scrolling). In particular, technologies are disclosed for modeless digital pen input to a virtual trackpad, modeless gestures for summoning user interfaces, modeless gestures utilizing position relative to adjacent user interfaces, and modeless cursor control and interaction with virtual touch targets.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2022Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Christian Klein, Andrew Stuart Glass

Patent number: 11199901Abstract: The disclosed technologies address technical problems, including improving human-computer interaction, by augmenting the functionality provided by non-digital objects using a digital glove. To provide this functionality, a machine learning model is trained using sensor data generated by sensors in a digital glove and data generated by a user input device while the digital glove is utilized to manipulate an object like a user input device. Once trained, the machine learning model can take sensor data generated by a digital glove while manipulating a non-digital object and generate virtual user input device data that can be utilized to control a host computer. A digital glove can also be utilized to perform selection operations using non-digital objects when pressure data generated by one or more of the pressure sensors in the digital glove indicates that pressure was exerted at a finger of the digital glove in excess of a threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2018Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Christian Klein, Andrew Stuart Glass, Sang Ho Yoon

Patent number: 10949230Abstract: A device may be configured to enable a user to select a language, and may fulfill resource requests from applications by selecting, from among resources respectively associated with a language, a resource associated with the selected language of the user. However, this resource selection process may be inadequate if the user selects multiple languages; if a resource associated with the selected language of the user is unavailable, but resources associated with related languages are available; or if the user and/or the application specifies an ordering for the selection among the languages. Presented herein are techniques for performing the resource selection by, for respective languages selected by the user, calculating a weight representing a suitability of the language for the resource request; generating a selection order of the selected languages according to the weights; and selecting a resource based on the position of the associated language in the selection order.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2012Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Rylan Michael Hawkins, Eric Scott Albright, Nick Beal, Peter Geoffrey Constable, Wade H.

Patent number: 10732826Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein enable dynamic device interaction adaptation based on user engagement. In general, a computer can leverage sensors to determine a user's level of engagement with one or more devices. As the user transitions his or her attention to different devices, the computer can utilize different interaction models to assist the user in interacting with each device that meets a threshold level of engagement with the user. Individual interaction models can configure the computer to direct input gestures received by the computing device to a selected device, and adapt the computer's input modality to provide user interface controls that are optimized for the selected device. When a user is interacting with two or more devices, automatic transitions between different interaction models can help improve the user's interaction with each device.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2017Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Christian Klein, Andrew Stuart Glass
