Publication number: 20160018951Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for populating a map interface with a contextual view portal and/or for tracking contextual information. In an example, a map interface may be populated with a map canvas depicting a first location according to a first view setting (e.g., a city level view providing relatively lower level of detail of a city). A contextual view portal, corresponding to an area within the first location, may be populated within the map interface such as overlaying the map canvas. The contextual view portal may depict imagery of the area according to a second view setting (e.g., a photorealistic view setting, an aerial view setting, a street-side view setting, etc.). A user may relocate the contextual view portal to view imagery of various areas. A task tracking interface may be populated with contextual information associated with an area depicted by the contextual view portal.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2014Publication date: January 21, 2016Inventors: Yekaterina Grabar, Daniel Dole, Dvir Horovitz, Saravanakumar Nagarajan, Karl Tolgu, Casey D.

Publication number: 20160018238Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for populating a map interface with a route inspection portal and/or for generating travel route video. In an example, a map interface is populated with a map canvas illustrating a travel route. The map canvas is populated with inspection markers corresponding to imagery depicting travel route portions of the travel route. Responsive to identifying a selection of an inspection marker at an inspection location, imagery depicting the inspection location may be identified. The map canvas is populated with a route inspection portal for the inspection marker. The route inspection portal is populated with the imagery (e.g., street-side imagery of an intersection along the travel route). In an example, a travel route video, comprising video frames corresponding to an ordering of the imagery (e.g., from a start location to an end location) along the travel route, may be generated and/or played.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 17, 2014Publication date: January 21, 2016Inventors: Yekaterina Grabar, Daniel Dole, Dvir Horovitz, Casey D.

Publication number: 20150365448Abstract: Individuals may utilize devices to engage in conversations about topics respectively associated with a location (e.g., restaurants where the individuals may meet for dinner). Often, the individual momentarily withdraws from the conversation in order to issue commands to the device to retrieve and present such information, and may miss parts of the conversation while interacting with the device. Additionally, the individual often explores such topics individually on a device and conveys such information to the other individuals through messages, which is inefficient and error-prone. Presented herein are techniques enabling devices to facilitate conversations by monitoring the conversation for references, by one individual to another (rather than as a command to the device), to a topic associated with a location. In the absence of a command from an individual, the device may automatically present a map alongside a conversation interface showing the location(s) of the topic(s) referenced in the conversation.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2014Publication date: December 17, 2015Inventors: Lisa Stifelman, Madhusudan Chinthakunta, Julian James Odell, Larry Paul Heck, Daniel Dole

Patent number: 9189208Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method for optimizing a developer's ability to find and navigate relevant documents, relationships, and other information related to an identifier in the code they are developing. An inline viewport is presented to the user in response to the user selecting an identifier in the code whereby the user is able to see relevant information related to the identifier in a spatially consistent location with the code they are investigating. Further, the developer has the ability to make changes to the code in the viewport without leaving the current editor.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2013Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Monty Hammontree, Murali Krishna Hosabettu Kamalesha, Brandon Adams, Steven John Clarke, Oleg Tkachenko, Zachary S Zaiss, John Tilford, David Pugh, Daniel Dole

Publication number: 20150215530Abstract: Architecture that enables the automatic capture and save images of objects and scenes in multiple media formats such as images, videos, and 3D (three-dimension). The user can shoot now and decide the medium later. Thereafter, the user can choose which format to review and perform editing, if desired. Moreover, once the user interacts to cause the imaging system to activate (a capture signal), the architecture continually captures images of the object or scene until the user sends a save signal to terminate further capture. Thus, where there may have been a bad shot taken, the user can peruse the set of images for a preferred shot, rather than being left with no good shot at all. The architecture enables the capture of images for a predetermined time before the user activates the capture signal (a pre-capture mode) as well as after the user activates the save signal (a post-save mode).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2014Publication date: July 30, 2015Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Donald A.

Publication number: 20150130807Abstract: Architecture that enables the preservation of label readability in a scene (e.g., map, map tiles, graphical background, etc.) by way of label orientation relative to a fixed heading on a plane or curved surface. After identifying an initial fixed heading, movement of the camera (e.g., zoom-in, zoom-out, position change, etc.) in the scene along that heading without changing the camera heading as measured relative to a fixed point does not alter label orientation. In a mapping implementation, after identifying an initial fixed camera heading over terrain of the Earth, movement of the camera (e.g., zoom-in, zoom-out, position change, etc.) in the scene without changing the camera heading as measured relative to some fixed point does not change label orientation. The orientation of labels may be changed if the heading of the camera is altered, but this change is delayed until camera movement quiesces.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2014Publication date: May 14, 2015Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Isaac Kenneth Kunen, Brenton Gunning, Daniel Dole, Juan Pablo Candelas Gonzalez, Donald A.

Publication number: 20150135116Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for providing a control user interface (UI) element. The control UI element, associated with a continuous variable, may be displayed, such as in association with a user interface (e.g., the control UI element may correspond to a view rotation variable of a map interface). The control UI element may comprise a current state indicator element configured to display a current state of the continuous variable (e.g., a compass displaying a current heading associated with the view rotation variable). The control UI element may be populated with one or more expanded control elements associated with various aspects of the continuous variable (e.g., a first expanded control element may be used to modify a right rotation aspect of the view rotation variable and a second expanded control element may be used to modify a left rotation aspect of the view rotation variable).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2013Publication date: May 14, 2015Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Luis E. Cabrera-Cordon, Romualdo T. Impas, David Buerer, Norberto Arrieta, Daniel Dole

Patent number: 8584047Abstract: Hierarchical structures are visualized and navigated using an orbital model. Sibling nodes are orbitally displayed in a generally circular arrangement along an orbital path. Choosing one of the orbitally displayed nodes opens it, moving down in the hierarchy. Nodes which were not chosen are undisplayed, and child node(s) of the chosen node are orbitally displayed. Node movements may be animated. A history displays recently chosen nodes. Choosing a parent node of the orbiting nodes undisplays the child nodes, and the parent node and its siblings are orbitally displayed, thereby moving up in the hierarchy. A user may select nodes from different parts of the hierarchy by moving them into a selection tray. Selected nodes can then be subjected to a specified batch operation. Controls are available for sorting nodes and/or for altering node appearance in the display.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2010Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Emmanuel J. Athans, Daniel Dole, Jeffrey Thomas Chrisope, Tarek Madkour, Stephen Giff, Jeannette Anne Gatlin, Scott E. Seiber, Jeffrey Stylos, James Kristian Johansen
