Patent number: 11962427Abstract: Traditionally, meetings are widely utilized in business and personal communications, whether in-person and/or virtual. Organizing such meetings typically involves multiple exchanges of content and messages between users before, during, and after the meeting. In some cases, meetings may occur impromptu and may result in inefficient and unproductive collaboration. A collaboration object configured to enable users to dynamically collaborate before, during, and after a meeting is provided. In aspects, the collaboration object links content generated before, during, and after the meeting in a single location and provides functionality for concurrent multi-user interaction and synchronization of the content across applications. The collaboration object may be available from a variety of application platforms, enabling and persisting real-time editing and collaboration before, during and after the meeting.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2021Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Shiraz J. Cupala, Eric Hull, Kevin Daniel Morrison, Julia Foran, James Paul Kardos, Jr., Szymon Madejczyk

Publication number: 20240056490Abstract: Updating user-specific instances of a second application for individual users of a group based on a data file for the second application being shared via a collaboration object that corresponds to the group within a first application. The instances of the second application present each individual user with their own custom user experience that is configured to provide access to specific content based on object permissions data. An application extension is executable, by the first application, to extend content editing functionalities of the second application into the collaboration object. Responsive to specific content being associated with the collaboration object via the application extension, each of the instances of the second application may be automatically updated to provide direct access to the specific content. Thus, each user within the group defined for collaboration object can access the data file via the collaboration object and their own instance of the second application.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: Rajesh RANGARAJAN, Aaron William LINNE, Rajiv RAMAIAH, Archana SASEETHARAN, Mansoor MALIK, Shiraz CUPALA, Beste NAZILLI, Kevin Daniel MORRISON, Sagar Nagaraja SHASTRY, Eric Jonathan HULL, Alexander Tobias POWELL, Lei YANG, Manasi SHARMA, Siddharth UPPAL, Yuri DOGANDJIEV

Patent number: 11652778Abstract: Systems and methods for a social networking platform to solicit candid content from users. A social networking application may request that a post author submit a qualified post type that (a) can only be made after being requested by the social networking platform, at a time determined by the social networking platform; and (b) must contain a photo and/or video newly captured within a limited time period. The qualified post may be displayed to the poster's social networking connections in a manner that distinguishes qualified posts from unqualified posts.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2022Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: PHANTO, LLCInventors: Daniel Morrison, Charles Godewyn, David Holland

Patent number: 11616751Abstract: Systems and methods for posting content via a social networking application. A social networking application may display a third party initiated current status request notification to a content contributor user at a time not determined by the content contributor user, such as at a time determined by the social networking application or another user. The content contributor user can respond by submitting a third party initiated current status post, qualified based on at least the post having been created in response to the third party initiated current status request notification, and the post containing photo or video content recorded after the third party initiated current status request notification. The third party initiated current status post is then displayed to one or more other users in a manner that distinguished the third party initiated current status post from other content posts.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2022Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: PHANTO, LLCInventors: Daniel Morrison, Charles Godewyn, David Holland

Patent number: 11425334Abstract: The disclosed techniques improve user engagement and promote efficient use of computing resources by providing dynamically controlled aspect ratios for communication session renderings based on a physical orientation of a device. In some configurations, a system can select a first aspect ratio for individual video streams of a communication session when a device is in a first orientation, e.g., a portrait orientation. In addition, the system can select a second aspect ratio for the individual video streams when the device is in a second orientation, e.g., a landscape orientation. In some configurations, the first aspect ratio can be greater than the second aspect ratio, or the aspect ratios can be selected based on a target aspect ratio, which can be adjusted over time. By dynamically selecting an aspect ratio for individual stream renderings, screen space of a device can be optimized while the device is held in various physical orientations.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2021Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Jason Thomas Faulkner, Ruchir Astavans, Kevin Daniel Morrison, Timur Aleshin, Chad A.

Patent number: 11301817Abstract: A representation of a calendar view is rendered on a user interface (UI), the calendar view indicative of one or more calendar days comprising a time span including a plurality of sequential time slots. A representation of a calendar event is rendered that is indicative of a scheduled meeting in at least one of the sequential time slots. The scheduled meeting is rendered without an icon or button operative to provide an interactive control to join the scheduled meeting. In response to determining that a scheduled meeting has started, the representation is updated by adding a status indication that is indicative of a current status of the scheduled meeting. The current status is provided without joining the scheduled meeting.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2020Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSINGInventors: Eric Randall Sexauer, Ewin Davis Kannuthottiyil, Kevin Daniel Morrison, Amey Parandekar
