Patent number: 11249627Abstract: Dynamic templates include regions that provide behavior based upon a purpose or desired outcome. Templates and regions can modify the logical representations associated with objects to create semantic context for the objects. Templates and regions can also generate visual representations of objects based upon their logical representations. The visual representation utilized by a template or region can be selected manually or based upon the capabilities of a computing device. Objects contained within regions can be sorted, filtered, arranged, and projected based on their associated logical representations.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2019Date of Patent: February 15, 2022Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Ron Mondri, Itai Almog, Francois M.

Publication number: 20210096715Abstract: A hinged mobile computing device may include a first touch screen and a second touch screen. A processor may recognize an engagement action on a virtual object displayed on one of the screens, lift the virtual object, move the virtual object in accordance with a recognized dragging action, and drop the virtual object at a target destination. Dropping the virtual object may insert the virtual object into an application program, share the virtual object to the application program or an operating system, open the virtual object in a new instance of an application program, or pin the virtual object to a predetermined location on one of the screens. In some embodiments, the virtual object may be flicked subsequent to the engagement action to share, open, or pin the virtual object.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2019Publication date: April 1, 2021Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Woo Ram LEE, Scott D.

Patent number: 10795543Abstract: An object stack feature for graphical user interfaces can include a method for arranging items displayed in a visual interface into a stack where each item of the stack has a corresponding visual representation in the stack. The method can include in response to receiving an indication to stack two or more items displayed in a visual interface, creating a stack object comprising a list of the two or more items and a seed value for an ordered seed. The ordered seed can be supplied to an arrangement function that outputs positions for items in the stack object. An arrangement can be generated using the arrangement function and each of the two or more items can be displayed in the visual interface in the arrangement generated by the arrangement function.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2017Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Mitchell Alan Hulick, Eduardo Sonnino, Anthony Neil Dart

Patent number: 10599320Abstract: Techniques for ink anchoring are described. In one or more implementations, an interactive canvas is displayed on one or more display devices of a computing device. An ink object is generated by digitizing ink input received to the interactive canvas. In response to determining that the ink object overlaps an object in the interactive canvas, the ink object is anchored to the object such that a spatial relationship between the ink object and the object is maintained if the ink object or the object is manipulated.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2017Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Eduardo Sonnino, Anthony Dart, Ryan Chandler Pendlay, March Rogers, Jason Hartman

Publication number: 20180329610Abstract: Techniques for object selection mode are described. In one or more implementations, digital content is generated as an interactive canvas, and the interactive canvas is displayed on one or more display devices of a computing device. Additional digital content is also displayed on the interactive canvas as one or more objects. The one or more objects are anchored to the interactive canvas in an anchor mode which prevents user input to the interactive canvas from being interpreted as input to manipulate the one or more objects. A trigger event to trigger an object selection mode is detected, and an object selection mode is initiated in response to the trigger event. The object selection mode causes user input to the interactive canvas to be interpreted as input to manipulate the one or more objects.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2017Publication date: November 15, 2018Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Eduardo SONNINO, Anthony DART, Ryan Chandler PENDLAY, Jason M.

Publication number: 20180329583Abstract: Techniques for object insertion are described. In one or more implementations, user input is received to an interactive canvas and the user input is detected as corresponding to a closed shape. In response to detecting that the user input corresponds to the closed shape, an object insertion menu is displayed on the interactive canvas. The object insertion menu includes selectable representations corresponding to multiple different object types which may be inserted into the interactive canvas within the closed shape. In response to receiving a user selection of a selectable representation associated with an object type from the object insertion menu, an object insertion control associated with the selected object type is displayed in the object insertion menu. The object insertion control includes additional selectable representations corresponding to objects associated with the selected object type which are selectable to insert a respective object into the interactive canvas within the closed shape.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2017Publication date: November 15, 2018Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Eduardo SONNINO, Anthony DART, Andrew Michael CASEY, March ROGERS, Jenny Angelica ALARCO DIEZ
