Patent number: 8719143Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates preserving and maintaining data and/or services associated with a network service. The network service can be any collection of resources that are maintained by a party (e.g., third-party, off-site, etc.) and accessible by an identified user over a network (e.g., WAN, Internet, etc.). An interface component can receive a termination notification related to the network service. An executor component can relocate at least a portion of one of data and a service associated with the terminated network service to a disparate replacement network service in order to preserve any services and/or data related therewith.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2006Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Henricus Johannes Maria Meijer, Gary W.

Patent number: 7930197Abstract: Personal data mining mechanisms and methods are employed to identify relevant information that otherwise would likely remain undiscovered. Users supply personal data that can be analyzed in conjunction with data associated with a plurality of other users to provide useful information that can improve business operations and/or quality of life. Personal data can be mined alone or in conjunction with third party data to identify correlations amongst the data and associated users. Applications or services can interact with such data and present it to users in a myriad of manners, for instance as notifications of opportunities.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2006Date of Patent: April 19, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Raymond E.

Patent number: 7647522Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates re-locating a web application associated with a network service utilizing a portion of serialized data. The network service can be any collection of resources that are maintained by a party (e.g., third-party, off-site, etc.) and accessible by an identified user over a network (e.g., WAN, Internet, etc.). A receiver component can receive a request for initiating and execution of a process that is maintained by the network service. A servicing component can analyze representations of multiple processes within the network service and determines whether to enable initiation and execution of the process based at least in part upon the analysis.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2006Date of Patent: January 12, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Henricus Johannes Maria Meijer, Raymond E.

Patent number: 7594230Abstract: An improved web server design includes a kernel-based listener service that is configured by a user-mode based administrative process. When a web request is received by the listener service it is placed in a queue associated with an application pool having one or more user-mode web applications configured to process received web requests. The web applications are selectively started and stopped by the administrative process.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2003Date of Patent: September 22, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Eric D. Deily, Douglas C. Hebenthal, Charles K. Moore, David R. Treadwell, III, Henry L. Sanders, II

Patent number: 7430738Abstract: Improved methods and arrangements are provided in which a web server or like process includes a kernel-mode universal listener (UL) capability that utilizes the URL associated with an HTTP request to determine which user-mode worker process/application is to handle the request and route the request to the targeted worker process/application. Thus, for example, one implementation includes a kernel-mode HTTP listener that is selectively configured via a Web admin service (WAS) based a configuration store. The resulting configuration file in the kernel-mode UL process defines a plurality of configuration groups and application pools, etc. The Configuration groups include certain URL's, which have configurable properties applied to them. The configurable properties define which user-mode worker process is to handle HTTP requests. Fore example, application pools can be provided, which identify a worker process or processes that the HTTP requests are routed to.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2001Date of Patent: September 30, 2008Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Henry L. Sanders, Eric D. Deily, Charles K. Moore, Seth B. Pollack, David R. Treadwell

Publication number: 20080082670Abstract: A system and method that facilitates and effectuates communications between disparate clients that reside in a network topology (e.g., cloud). The system and method provides a component that receives one or more prospective end points, a set of desired communication criteria/characteristics, and desired content extant on one of the clients that reside on network topology. Additionally, the system and method provides a component that establishes communications pathways to one or more prospective end points or to subsequently identified end points to facilitate transfer of desired content from the end point to a requesting client.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2006Publication date: April 3, 2008Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Alexander G.

Patent number: 6351748Abstract: File system level access source control of resources within standard request-response protocols such as HTTP is disclosed. In one embodiment, the server receives a request, and determines whether a TRANSLATE header of the request specifies TRUE or FALSE. If the former, the server generates and returns the response to the resource. If the latter, the server determines whether an access source bit is turned on. If so, then it is determined whether a bit at the underlying file system level is also turned on. If so, then access to the source by the client is permitted; the source is returned. Otherwise, if either bit is off, an error message is returned.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 1999Date of Patent: February 26, 2002Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Brian J. Deen, David R.

Patent number: 6061692Abstract: An information server adapted to service requests for information has an integral database containing configuration information, application information, and/or content information. The information in the database is stored in a hierarchical fashion with elements that correspond, in some degree, with physical storage structure or individual information objects on the information server. Path names received in information requests are broken into constituent components and are used to retrieve configuration information, application information, and/or content information from the database and information objects from physical storage. In the database properties stored at one hierarchical level may be inherited by lower hierarchical levels. The database is preferably provided with a programmatic interface that allows concurrent access to and administration of the database. Mechanisms to notify registered users of changes or events that occur with respect to the database are implemented.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 1997Date of Patent: May 9, 2000Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Michael W.

Patent number: 6018619Abstract: A method for tracking usage patterns of users of hyper-media systems, such as the World-Wide Web, that creates a usage log on a user's client computer and periodically transmits the usage log from the user's client machine to a usage tracking server computer to be incorporated in an overall usage log for a given information server computer. Alternatively, proxy server may be connected between a client computer and an information server with the proxy server acting as a client to the information server and creating a usage log of the user's client computer access to the information server computer to be sent to usage tracking computer. Each time a user connects to a Web site, the client computer or proxy server creates a usage log that records all objects retrieved from that particular Web site and other attributes of user processing such as time spent viewing an object, amount of an object viewed, etc.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 1996Date of Patent: January 25, 2000Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: James E.
