Publication number: 20240119226Abstract: An enhanced user experience is disclosed herein that provides for gesture-based configuring of pivot tables. In various implementations, a pivot table includes query areas associated with fields of a data table being summarized by the pivot table. Gestures made with respect to an area of the pivot table drive changes in the association of the fields of the data table with the query areas of the pivot table. As user input is received with respect to an area of the pivot table, relevant fields are identified, and new associations are made between the query areas and the fields. The pivot table may then be updated accordingly based on the new associations.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Charles SIMONYI, Juan Camilo OSORIO CARDONA

Patent number: 11003833Abstract: A layout engine generates a visual layout tree for a visual description tree of a document whose content is to be rendered in one or more display areas. A visual description tree describes the content of a document along with formatting and logical arrangement the content. Visual description nodes of a visual description tree represent the organization of the constituent elements a document hierarchically. A visual layout tree defines the layout of a document within one or more display areas. Visual layout nodes of a visual layout tree represent the layout of the content of a document hierarchically. The layout engine receives as input a visual description tree and generates the corresponding visual layout tree. A rendering engine then inputs the visual layout tree and generates a graphics buffer containing the pixels representing the layout of the document as defined by the visual layout tree.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2015Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Charles Simonyi, Andras Nagy

Patent number: 10721084Abstract: Groupware features are described that support asynchronous collaboration for a synchronous collaboration environment. During a synchronous collaboration session, a document is displayed at a user's computing device. As changes to the document are received at the user's computing device, a change list is updated and the modified document is displayed. Any changes from the user are broadcast to other participants. For asynchronous collaboration during the session, a user-specific fork is created in the change list to contain private changes for the user. For each private change from the user, the groupware updates the change list in the user-specific fork with the private change, which is not broadcast to the other participants for reconciliation.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2017Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Charles Simonyi, Eran Megiddo, Andras Nagy, Alexander Elijah Pardes
