Patent number: 10268826Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided that address issues related to data privacy by enabling users to elect various levels of data sharing. A user of a user device is enabled to indicate their comfort level with sharing, transmitting, or otherwise exposing individual activity records (data entities) with respect to various activity categories. The exposure of activity records may be controlled with respect to on-device and off-device components. Furthermore, privacy profiles may be automatically generated for the user, and the privacy profiles may be automatically activated in corresponding situations.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2018Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing LLCInventors: Colleen Hamilton, Robert Howard, Lee Dicks Clark, John Yovin, Shawn Brown, Sogol Malekzadeh

Patent number: 9858259Abstract: A computer system provides an automated tool that processes audio data and data about computer operating context to automatically capture information, such as information from conversations and meetings. The computer operating context can include, for example, environmental data sensed, or other contextual information maintained or tracked, by the computer. The audio data and computer operating context are processed by the computer to detect starting conditions for data extraction. After detecting a starting condition, the processor initiates speech processing on the audio information to generate corresponding text data. The processor processes the text data using text filters that define salient patterns in the text data. Such salient patterns can correspond to, for example, tasks to be performed, follow-up appointments and other events, messages to be sent, important points or notes, and the like.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2017Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Marc Pottier, Colleen Hamilton, Eddie Fusaro, Lee Dicks Clark, Daniel Escapa, Elizabeth Scoble, Allison Gallant

Patent number: 8751415Abstract: A method includes displaying a plurality of user modifiable utilization views of a monitored software application, where each of the plurality of user modifiable utilization views is customizable to fit a domain of analysis by identifying one or more resource types of multiple resource components. Each of the plurality of user modifiable utilization views is displayed in one more graphical user interfaces. The method includes determining a desired ordering of the one or more resource types within a hierarchy of types and filtering one or more details of the multiple resource components to create a customized view. A user can navigate between each of the plurality of user modifiable utilization views to dynamically construct related target analysis views including filtered details across one or more other domains of analysis.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2012Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Matt Hollingsworth, Colleen Hamilton, John M.

Patent number: 8112366Abstract: A system is disclosed that includes an interface to receive a resource governance rule applicable to one or more hardware resources supporting a monitored software application. The system includes utilization logic to measure usage of a particular hardware resource by the monitored software application. An available utilization of the particular hardware resource is determined based on the resource governance rule, and a total utilization of the particular hardware resource is also determined. One or more utilization metrics are determined based on historical usage of the particular hardware resource as compared to a governed capacity and a non-governed capacity available to the particular hardware resource. The system also includes recommendation logic to determine a recommended action to be taken with respect to the monitored software application.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2008Date of Patent: February 7, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Matt Hollingsworth, Colleen Hamilton, John M.
