Patent number: 11070504Abstract: Routing of communications to group member(s) where group membership is identified by physical status. A computing system detects a communication that identifies targets of the communication at least in part by physical status. The system responds by identifying at least partial membership in a group that is identified by the physical status identified in the communication, and then dispatching the communication to at least one member of the members of that group. The identity of the members of the group may change dynamically as the physical status of particular physical entities changes over time. Accordingly, a user may communicate to individuals based on physical status, rather than identify any particular individual or status group. The communication may be directed to all members of the group. Alternatively, the communication may be initially directed towards a subset of the group, with the communication being conditionally later broadened.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2020Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Vijay Mital, Olivier Colle, Robin Abraham, Arnaud Christian Flutre, Anthony Wah Lee, Faisal Khaled Faisal Ilaiwi

Patent number: 10606814Abstract: The tracking of physical entities within a space such that computer-implemented computations (or ambient computing) may be performed on the features and/or activity of physical entities within that physical space. A space-time data structure corresponding to the physical space is set up. For at least one physical entity within that physical space, physical feature(s) of the physical entity is sensed at different instances in time. That sensed feature is stored in an entity data structure that is associated with the space-time data structure. This may be done for multiple physical entities within the location using multiple entity data structures that are each associated with the space-time data structure. A computing system may navigate such a space-time data structure to perform computation on physical entities, physical features and physical activity within that physical space.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2017Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Vijay Mital, Olivier Colle, Arnaud Christian Flutre, Anthony Wah Lee, Jaideep Sarkar, Moahemmed Amine Benmouffok

Publication number: 20180204096Abstract: The setting of physical condition(s) upon which to perform one or more identified actions. This is done via the use of a physical graph that represents state of one or more physical entities within a physical space and observed by sensors. The system monitors the physical graph for the occurrence of the physical condition. If the physical condition occurs, then one or more identified actions are performed. The identification of such actions may occur in advance of the detection of the physical condition and/or may be deferred until the physical condition occurs. The physical condition may be a single physical condition or may be a more complex set of physical conditions. Such actions could include actions such as presenting information to the user, and sending communications out to others. However, the actions could even include physical actions.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2017Publication date: July 19, 2018Inventors: Vijay Mital, Robin Abraham, Olivier Colle, Victor Zhu, Liang Du, Ning Zhou, Arnaud Christian Flutre, Anthony Wah Lee, Faisal Khaled Faisal Ilaiwi, Jaideep Sarkar
