Patent number: 11095648Abstract: Various techniques for implementing computer dashboards as cloud-based services are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a dashboard file at a server via a computer network, the dashboard file identifying a dashboard having one or more graphical user interface elements individually configured to display and dynamically update data associated with a cloud-based service. The dashboard file further contains metadata indicating a cloud-based subscription. The method also includes associating the received dashboard file with the cloud-based subscription, identifying one or more entities allowed to access the dashboard based on the cloud-based subscription, and displaying, via the computer network, the dashboard identified by the dashboard file to the one or more entities upon verification of the cloud-based subscription.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2019Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Adam Abdelhamed, Leon Welicki, Brad Olenick, Mo Wang, Christopher Scrosati, Josh Keckley, Jon Harris, Khetthai Laksanakorn

Patent number: 10627980Abstract: An organization mode in a user interface that displays multiple user interface elements. The multiple user interface elements fit over a grid positions that are at least conceptually imposed over a canvas. In organization mode, the grid positions are displayed, allowing the user to more easily see where user interface elements may be placed. As the user moves and/or resizes a user interface element, one or more corresponding grid positions are highlighted to show where the user interface element would be placed if the move or resize operation were to conclude at that moment. The organization mode may also provide a contextual actions menu with respect to a particular user interface element. The contextual actions menu includes multiple organization mode commands, including one or more that may be directed selected from the contextual actions menu to invoke the command.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2018Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Leon Ezequiel Welicki, Mo Wang, Christopher Scrosati, Kristofer John Owens, Jon Harris, Jonah Bush Sterling, Dina-Marie Ledonna Supino, Vishal R. Joshi, Jesse David Francisco, Stephen Michael Danton

Patent number: 10514824Abstract: Techniques are described herein that are capable of providing a pivot-based tile gallery with an adapted tile (e.g., in an application, such as a web application in a browser). A pivot is code that enables selection of a subset of tiles from multiple subsets of tiles. A pivot element is an interface element that represents a pivot. For instance, selection of the subset of tiles via the pivot may cause a user interface (UI) representation of the tile gallery to include UI representations of the tiles in the selected subset (e.g., and not UI representations of the tiles that are not included in the selected subset). An adapted tile is a tile that includes a wrapper and a second tile. The wrapper wraps the second tile. For instance, the wrapper may enable the adapted tile to use the second tile to implement functionality of an aspect of a resource.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2015Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jesse D. Francisco, Leon E. Welicki, Mo Wang, Joshua Prentice Keckley, Adam M. Abdelhamed, Brad M. Olenick, Stephen Siciliano, William J.

Patent number: 9792354Abstract: A model for displaying multiple user interface elements such that each control includes a container that includes standard functionality across at least a majority of the user interface elements. For instance, such standard functionality might include a part status indication, a title, a content status indication, a command invocation function, a part resizing function, and so forth. The model may also provide for standardization of resizing of user interface elements. For a given user interface element, there would be a predetermined number of possible size and shapes, each corresponding to a different projection of data. For instance, all of the user interface elements on a screen may fall within the predetermined number of possible size and shapes, thereby allowing more functional layout of the user interface on the display.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2014Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Brad Olenick, Christopher Scrosati, Leon Ezequiel Welicki, Steven Sanderson, Alvaro Rahul Dias, Federico Silva Armas, Vishal R.
