Patent number: 10114679Abstract: A logical central processing unit (CPU) division management view is displayed for a device having multiple logical CPU divisions. The management view is displayed as a heat map representation that includes multiple cells, each of which corresponds to one of the multiple logical CPU divisions. As part of the heat map representation, each of the multiple cells is displayed in one of multiple different manners based on a usage of the corresponding logical CPU division, and a usage value identifying usage of the corresponding one of the multiple logical processors can also displayed in the cell.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 2012Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Christina L. Rhodes, Peter Seraphim Ponomarev, Matthew P. Duignan, Phillip Daniel Donate

Patent number: 9552557Abstract: Techniques for visual representation of chart scaling are described. In implementations, a chart is employed to display data associated with a resource. Examples of such a resource include a computer hardware resource, a network resource, a financial resource, a commodity (e.g., a manufactured commodity), and so on. In implementations, a chart is associated with a scale that corresponds to a set of data values represented in the chart. Further, a chart can be rescaled to display data values in a variety of different scales, e.g., that correspond to different sets of data values. In at least some embodiments, a scale mark is provided which provides a visual indication of a scale represented in a chart. When the chart is rescaled, the scale mark is repositioned to indicate a change in scale. Thus, a scale mark can be dynamically repositioned to visually indicate different chart scales.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2012Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Peter Seraphim Ponomarev, Matthew P. Duignan, Christina L. Rhodes

Patent number: 9244802Abstract: This document describes techniques for presenting a resource user interface. These techniques present, in a summary section of a user interface, multiple selectable resource tiles that each include real-time and/or static information corresponding to one of multiple resources of a computing device. Each of the multiple selectable resource tiles are presented simultaneously, which enables a user to compare live, real-time resource usage for different resources of the computing device. Further, these techniques present, in a detailed view section of the user interface, additional real-time resource information and/or a real-time resource graph corresponding to a selected one of the multiple resources.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2011Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Mark Yalovsky, Christina L. Rhodes, Rolf A. Ebeling, Peter Seraphim Ponomarev, Matthew P. Duignan

Patent number: 9201687Abstract: Various embodiments for process relationship management are described. In at least some embodiments, a user interface is presented that provides an integrated view of processes that are running on a computing device and relationships between the processes. For example, the user interface can display a visual indication that a first process is related to a second process and that if a user closes the first process, the second process will also close as a result. Further to one or more embodiments, the user interface can display status messages regarding processes, such as that a process is not responding to a request to close or that a process is waiting on user input.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2011Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Christina L. Rhodes, Matthew P. Duignan, Peter Seraphim Ponomarev, Mark Yalovsky, Rolf A. Ebeling

Patent number: 8863022Abstract: Two different process management views can be displayed, and a user can request to switch between the two views. The user can select a process in either view and have the selected process terminated. One view is a simplified view that identifies processes and whether they are non-responsive. The other view is an expanded view that identifies processes and the amount of various system resources used by each of those processes. Various additional information can be displayed in the expanded view, such as identifiers of various windows, tabs, and/or services associated with each of the processes.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2011Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Christina L. Rhodes, Mark Yalovsky, Rolf A. Ebeling, John Corey Morgan, Shawn M. Woods, Ryan M. Hurst, Jonathan M. Au, Peter Seraphim Ponomarev, Jason C. Hendrickson, Hemchand Alla, Yau N.
