Patent number: 9363253Abstract: Embodiments of software-supervised pairing processes are provided. The processes enable a user to pair a mouse and keyboard with a Bluetooth transceiver without having to use a second mouse and keyboard. At least two separate processes are provided, including a long transition for initial pairing or re-pairing and a short transition for re-establishing a connection after devices have already been paired.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2014Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Daniel M. Sangster, Christopher Mark Dreher, Joseph Kagume Ngari, Carlos Manzanedo, James Charles Marshall

Patent number: 8879748Abstract: A wireless audio client device such as a headset worn by a user allows the user to talk with multiple other devices using different communication protocols. In one approach, the wireless audio client device is a slave device which pairs with multiple master devices such as a game console and cell phone. The wireless audio client device uses a common set of peripherals such as a speaker, microphone, RF antenna, battery, status lights and control buttons. Processing circuitry is provided in one or more chips, to handle the different communication protocols. The wireless audio client device can automatically interrupt a game chat to allow the user to accept an incoming phone call, or can prompt the user to accept the call. Or, the wireless audio client device can play audio from the cell phone while the game chat continues.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2011Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Zulfigar Alam, Brian Bilodeau, Dennis Tom, Carlos Manzanedo

Patent number: 8750552Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed that relate to controlling frequency response in speaker assemblies. For example, one disclosed embodiment provides a speaker assembly including a speaker, a body supporting the speaker in such a manner as to define a back chamber between the speaker and the body, and a vent port formed in the body and extending through the body, the vent port comprising a first stage having a first diameter, a second stage having a second diameter different than the first diameter, and a step between the first stage and the second stage.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2012Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Louis Barinaga, Carlos Manzanedo

Publication number: 20130154895Abstract: Techniques for implementing an integrated antenna structure are described. In at least some embodiments, the integrated antenna structure includes an antenna that is folded and/or meandered in design to enable the antenna to be incorporated into a compact area. The integrated antenna structure further includes a printed circuit board (PCB) with a ground plane to which the antenna is connected. In implementations, the antenna and the PCB can be combined to form an integrated radiating structure that can be incorporated into a device to enable the device to transmit and/or receive wireless signals.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2011Publication date: June 20, 2013Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Alireza Mahanfar, Carlos Manzanedo, Jagdeep Singh Toor, Vinod L.
