  • Patent number: 9760413
    Abstract: A notification service receives messages including various data from application services, and provides notifications including that data to the appropriate computing devices. Each computing device includes a notification system that receives notifications from the notification service and provides those notifications to the appropriate applications on the computing device. If an application is not allowed to run on a computing device, the notification system on the computing device provides an indication to the notification service to block notifications for the application on the computing device. The notification service ceases providing notifications to a computing device targeting applications for which notifications are blocked on the computing device until an indication is received from the computing device to unblock notifications for the application.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9124669
    Abstract: Various embodiments enable automatic cooperative logging of information associated with a connection between at least two computing devices. In some cases, a first computing device can automatically trigger logging on a second computing device upon detection of at least one scenario. Alternately or additionally, the second computing device can respond to the first computing device with additional and/or supplemental logging requests.

  • Publication number: 20100229022
    Abstract: Techniques for improving a troubleshooting experience by providing a common troubleshooting framework. Such a framework may enable use of common elements between troubleshooters and lead to similarities between troubleshooting packages, which may improve the user experience. Further, a framework may reduce the amount of knowledge and time necessary to create troubleshooting packages, and thus encourage increased development of these troubleshooting packages. In some implementations of the framework, a troubleshooting package may be implemented in a declarative manner that outlines/describes the problems it solves and the potential solutions to those problems. The declarative troubleshooting packages may then be provided to the troubleshooting framework and may provide direction to the framework, in that the framework may execute functions as directed by the troubleshooter.
