Patent number: 10417260Abstract: Architecture that provides enhanced tag telemetry in a microblogging communications infrastructure. The architecture provides efficient discovery and tracking of topics that are of interest to a specific user by enabling users to follow (track) hash tags (#tag) and to receive and view all messages tagged with the hash tag appear in the user's personal feed. Each hash tag has a persisted tag page that aggregates all the associated activity, and includes a list that includes, but is not limited to, the tag followers, the most frequent user (uses the tag the most often in a specific time frame), a description, related tags, for example. The user can receive all the updates in the user's personal feed, and see an aggregation of all the messages and conversations associated with the tag in single place. The user can also mute the tag to prevent the receiving of tag information.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2016Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Ruth Kikin-Gil, Cedric P. Dussud, Hai Liu, Anne Archambault, John Griffin

Patent number: 8825679Abstract: Architecture that facilitates the discovery of interesting and relevant content by a user in a serendipitous way on a microblogging site. For example, relevant content can be defined as connected to the user, the user's work, and user interests, while interesting content can be defined as content that does not directly affect the user, yet the user chooses to obtain (e.g., for viewing, interacting, etc.). The content can be presented as a tile cluster, where each tile is a specific content type (e.g., image, link, post, user recommendations, tags, etc.). Additionally, the content can be obtained and presented relative to a specific temporal setting such as the latest content. The different content types are visually distinguished such that one type of content looks and behaves differently from another content type. The user can also drill into content details from the top content.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2011Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Ruth Kikin-Gil, Anne Archambault, Cedric P.

Patent number: 8156425Abstract: Determining a total dimension of items in computer-based user interface control (e.g., non-uniform items displayed in grid-view), may be accomplished by determining an estimated dimension value (e.g., for all items in a series) and combining (e.g., multiplying) that value with a total number of items (e.g., items in the series). If a viewport offset value and viewport item value is known, and/or a previously realized dimension and previously realized item value is known, the estimated dimension value may be determined by combining one or more of these values with values for realized items. Otherwise, the estimated dimension value can be determined by dividing the realized items dimensions value by the number of realized items. A total dimension value may be used by a user interface element, for example, to calculate an appropriate size and location of a scroll bar display.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2008Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Benjamin F. Carter, Cedric P. Dussud

Publication number: 20110125733Abstract: Users are enabled to perform tasks such as creating new content, searching for items, communicating with other users through a simplified access interface, at the same time defining a location for the access interface. A user may begin typing at any location on a canvas. The system ranks possible outcomes, suggesting one as the best match, where the user can override that choice upon which the resulting action is displayed at the point the input was initially placed. The user may be provided options to select among available tasks and the tasks may be performed without selecting an application.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2009Publication date: May 26, 2011Inventors: Nathan J. Fish, Jeremy M. Santy, Jeffrey Berg, Cedric P. Dussud, Joo-Young Lee, Derek M. Hans
