Patent number: 7441182Abstract: Systems and methods for digital negatives are described. In one aspect, a digital negative is created on a computing device from a digital image. The digital image is linked to the digital negative. In response to a save operation associated with the digital image, a new digital image is generated and bi-directionally connected to the digital negative. In response to a revert operation associated with the new digital image, contents of the new digital image are replaced with contents of the digital negative.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2003Date of Patent: October 21, 2008Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Craig Beilinson, Benjamin L. Perry, Christopher A. Evans, Clint Jorgenson, Jae Pum Park, Linda Hong, Pritvinath Obla, Anthony T. Chor, Wei Feng, Alexander Castro

Publication number: 20080120693Abstract: This invention is directed to provide a method for enabling an administrator to monitor and selectively limit the computer functions available to a user. The method is carried out on a personal computer by an administrator, and administrator decisions can be enforced on other personal computers in a local network. The invention enables an administrator to restrict a user's logon hours, logon duration, access to computer functions, and access to applications based on content rating. In addition, the administrator may temporarily restrict or extend normally allowed access privileges. The invention also allows for the monitoring, auditing, and reporting of a user's computer function usage to an administrator.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2008Publication date: May 22, 2008Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: CRAIG BEILINSON, RAYMOND CHEN, RAMKUMAR RAMASUBRAMANIAN, DENNIS DAVIS, CHRISTOPHER EVANS, ERIC FLO, STERLING REASOR

Publication number: 20060212794Abstract: Methods for creating computer-readable image files having annotation data, e.g., one or more audio annotations, embedded therein are provided. The method may include receiving an image file having image data therein, receiving annotation data, e.g., one or more audio annotations, relating to the image data, and embedding the annotation data into the image file to create a modified image file. Computer-readable media having stored thereon a data structure which includes a first portion containing data representing an image and a second portion containing data representing annotation information relating to the image, wherein the first portion is embedded in the second portion, are also provided. Still further, a computer-readable image file having image data and annotation data relating to the image data is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2005Publication date: September 21, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Christopher Evans, Craig Beilinson, Tomasz Kasperkiewicz

Publication number: 20050080807Abstract: A tool for creating integrated collections. The tool may include a “basket” control that includes interfaces for receiving and displaying the data objects that are selected by a user to be included in a collection, and a collection creation component then provides a collection with one or more data items corresponding to the objects submitted to the basket control. The basket control may be employed by itself to make collections, or it may be hosted by another software object, such as a “listmaker” control that conveniently contains both the basket control and one or more user interfaces that a user can employ to provide data objects to the basket control. The listmaker control may thus include a viewing graphical user interface for viewing data objects and a navigation toolbar for navigating the viewing graphical user interface. The listmaker control may then be hosted as desired in a variety of software applications.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2003Publication date: April 14, 2005Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Craig Beilinson, Christopher Evans, David Winkler, Jae Park, Emily Buchanan, Jared Henderson, Jeffrey Belt, Pritvinath Obla, Anthony Chor, William Gould, Shabbir Shahpurwala, Relja Ivanovic
