Patent number: 10515655Abstract: Techniques for selecting an emotion type code associated with semantic content in an interactive dialog system. In an aspect, fact or profile inputs are provided to an emotion classification algorithm, which selects an emotion type based on the specific combination of fact or profile inputs. The emotion classification algorithm may be rules-based or derived from machine learning. A previous user input may be further specified as input to the emotion classification algorithm. The techniques are especially applicable in mobile communications devices such as smartphones, wherein the fact or profile inputs may be derived from usage of the diverse function set of the device, including online access, text or voice communications, scheduling functions, etc.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2017Date of Patent: December 24, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Edward Un, Max Leung

Patent number: 9612121Abstract: Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for locating a position within an enclosure. In one example, known global coordinates (e.g., GPS coordinates of latitude/longitude) associated with the position within the enclosure may be transformed into local coordinates (e.g., x/y coordinates) for the position. The local coordinates may be used for tracking a location of the position within the enclosure. In another example, known local coordinates of the position within the enclosure may be transformed into global coordinates for the position, which may be used for tracking a location of the position within the enclosure. In another example, a blueprint image of the enclosure may be used to track a location of the position within the enclosure. In this way, location tracking may be provided for objects within indoor spaces (e.g., a mapping application may track a current position of a mobile device within a building).Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2012Date of Patent: April 4, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Mattias Beermann, John Ian Ferrell, Edward Un, Kai Wang, Jun Zhao

Publication number: 20090325690Abstract: Various systems and methods are disclosed for a roaming saved game function allowing for location independent access to saved game data. In various embodiments, users may upload saved games when they sign in to an online gaming service, and download them later from another console, PC or other device so that they can continue a saved game wherever they have access to the online gaming service. In one embodiment, users may manage saved game files after signing in to the online gaming service. In other embodiments, the roaming saved game function may provide users with ease of managing their saved games. For example, users may be able to compare two saved games by comparing their level, checkpoint number and screenshot listing. The user may then select one of the saved game files to play and upload.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2008Publication date: December 31, 2009Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jinbo Zhou, Weijun Guo, Lei Shi, Hongyun Yang, Edward Un
