Patent number: 8352524Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates organizing and presenting data within a database. A data store can store a portion of data accessible to a user. A real time monitor component can dynamically track an amount of access for the portion of data within the data store. A display engine can render a multi-scaled view of the portion of data, wherein the multi-scaled view is based on the amount of access in which a size representation of the data is correlated with the amount of access.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2008Date of Patent: January 8, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Gary W. Flake, Blaise Aguera y Arcas, Brett D. Brewer, Anthony T. Chor, Steven Drucker, Karim Farouki, Stephen L. Lawler, Ariel J. Lazier, Donald James Lindsay

Publication number: 20120124459Abstract: Embodiments include providing multiple discernible indicia that provide an indication of behaviors associated with selection of a particular link. The multiple discernible indicia may include visually-discernible graphical icons configured to be displayed as a pictorial image that visually represents a behavior associated with selection of the particular link. The visually-discernible graphical icons may include a first icon that, when selected, causes a default behavior associated with the link selection to occur, and a second icon that, when selected, causes an alternative behavior associated with the link selection to occur. Also, responsive to receiving a user-provided modifier, the first or second icon may be replaced with a third icon that visually represents a different alternative behavior to occur that is different than both the default and alternative behaviors.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2012Publication date: May 17, 2012Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Aaron J. Sauve, Anthony T. Chor, Stephan Hoefnagels

Patent number: 8127253Abstract: Various embodiments can add predictability to user interactions with links that they encounter. In addition to adding predictability, various embodiments can enable a user to affect or change the behavior that is associated with a particular link selection. In at least some embodiments, a user is provided with discernible indicia that provide an indication of a behavior associated with selecting a particular link. In at least some embodiments, software executing as part of an end user application makes a determination that a user is about to or is likely to select a particular link. Once the application makes this determination, that application can cause the discernible indicia to be presented to the user. Such indicia provide the user with an indication of the behavior that is to be performed in the event the user selects the particular link of interest.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2005Date of Patent: February 28, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Aaron J. Sauve, Anthony T. Chor, Stephan Hoefnagels

Publication number: 20110016533Abstract: Various embodiments enable detection of third party content sources that may pose a privacy risk to a user. In at least some embodiments, webpages navigated to via a browser can be processed to identify third party content sources that provide content for the webpages. Data may be stored to relate the third party content sources to webpages in which the third party content is encountered. The data may then be analyzed to determine when a particular third party is in a position to observe browsing habits of a user. Responsive to determining a privacy risk, notification may be output in a variety of ways to inform a user of potentially risky content. In at least some other embodiments, notification can be made by way of a user interface instrumentality that is automatically presented to a user to inform the user of a potentially risky third party content source.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2008Publication date: January 20, 2011Inventors: Andrew Zeigler, Anantha P. Ganjam, Mara B. Patton, Jessica A. Hitchcock, Dean J. Hachamovitch, Anthony T. Chor

Publication number: 20090319940Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates visually representing data relationships within a network. A network includes a graphical representation of a user in which the network is a node structure with relationships between two or more users. An organization component that can analyze one of a degree of separation between two or more users represented within the network or an expertise level of a user represented within the network, the expertise level corresponds to a topic. The organization component can scale the portion of graphic representative based upon the analysis.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2008Publication date: December 24, 2009Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Gary W. Flake, Blaise Aguera y Arcas, Anthony T. Chor, Karim Farouki, Stephen L. Lawler, Ariel J. Lazier, Adam P. Sheppard, Richard Stephen Szeliski

Publication number: 20090303253Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates rendering of a portion of viewable data. A web page, a user interface or other displayable information can be personalized such that disparate portions of the displayable information are rendered at varying scales, resolutions, sizes, etc. A personalizer can generate personalization data related to a user. The personalization data can include a display property associated with a portion of viewable data. In addition, a display engine is provided that displays the portion of viewable data based upon the personalization data and display property.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2008Publication date: December 10, 2009Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Gary W. Flake, Blaise Aguera y Arcas, Brett D. Brewer, Anthony T. Chor, Steven Drucker, Karim Farouki, Ariel J. Lazier, Stephen L. Lawler, Richard Stephen Szeliski

Publication number: 20090307618Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates interacting with a portion of data that includes pyramidal volumes of data. A portion of image data can represent a computer displayable multi-scale image with at least two substantially parallel planes of view in which a first plane and a second plane are alternatively displayable based upon a level of zoom and which are related by a pyramidal volume, wherein the multi-scale image includes a pixel at a vertex of the pyramidal volume. An annotation component can determine a set of annotations associated with at least one of the two substantially parallel planes of view. A display engine can display at least a subset of the set of annotations on the multi-scale image based upon navigation to the parallel plane of view associated with the set of annotations.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2008Publication date: December 10, 2009Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Stephen L. Lawler, Blaise Aguera y Arcas, Brett D. Brewer, Anthony T. Chor, Steven Drucker, Karim Farouki, Gary W. Flake, Ariel J. Lazier, Donald James Lindsay, Richard Stephen Szeliski, Michael Fredrick Cohen

Patent number: 7441182Abstract: Systems and methods for digital negatives are described. In one aspect, a digital negative is created on a computing device from a digital image. The digital image is linked to the digital negative. In response to a save operation associated with the digital image, a new digital image is generated and bi-directionally connected to the digital negative. In response to a revert operation associated with the new digital image, contents of the new digital image are replaced with contents of the digital negative.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2003Date of Patent: October 21, 2008Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Craig Beilinson, Benjamin L.
