Patent number: 10447639Abstract: Various parts of email content or entire emails may be recalled or modified after delivery through the use of links to cloud-storage, where the various parts of the email content may be stored. Different notification and modification methods may be employed to modify delivered content even after it is rendered for a recipient. While recipients may have a latest version of the email content, senders may be enabled to see a version history of changes in delivered email content.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2015Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Zohaib Ali, Yamin Wang, Elena Catrinescu, Joseph Marcus, Michael Brickman, Hayley Steplyk, Eduardo Melo

Patent number: 10404637Abstract: Electronic communication-based storage of content items to support multiple workflows is provided. When an attached content item is received with an electronic communication, a receiving user may select the attached content item for review and editing in an immersive view pane that may be launched adjacent to or in proximity to an electronic mail viewing pane. When the received content item is edited, a copy of the edited content item is temporarily stored with the electronic communication with which the content item was received at an associated electronic communication server. When the receiving user then desires to dispose of the edited content item, for example, by replying back to the sending user with the edited content item as an attachment, the edited content item may be retrieved from the electronic communication server automatically for attachment to the responsive communication.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2014Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Joseph Masterson, Jeremy de Souza, Nathan Waddoups, Russell L. Simpson, Jr., Michael B. Palmer, Jin Ma, Elena Catrinescu, Kenneth Fern

Publication number: 20190066261Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for transporting an electronic communication that includes one or more attachments efficiently by sending the electronic communication with a smaller-sized (e.g., lower resolution) representational element of each attachment and subsequently replacing each representational element with a higher resolution attachment thumbnail of the attachment. The high resolution attachment thumbnail is produced in an asynchronous process during or after the transportation of the attachment(s) and the electronic communication. After the high resolution attachment thumbnail(s) is generated, at least one representational element in the electronic communication may be replaced with a corresponding HR attachment thumbnail.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2017Publication date: February 28, 2019Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jin MA, Jun CHEN, Elena CATRINESCU, Mirela Dal Col Silva CORREA, Nathan F.

Publication number: 20180248822Abstract: Extraction and provision of message identification information to a productivity application for enabling the productivity application to provide an embedded communication experience in association with an attachment file is provided. A message including an attachment is received via a messaging application. Upon receiving a selection to open the attachment from within the messaging application, the attachment file is opened in a productivity application, and various parameters associated with the message are extracted. A path including the various parameters is constructed and passed to a productivity application, thus allowing the productivity application to provide a persisted conversation in a user interface of the productivity application for viewing of and interaction with the conversation.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2017Publication date: August 30, 2018Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: George Arthur Herbert, III, Elena Catrinescu, Darren Alexander Apfel, Alexander William Darrow, Rebecca Jean Lawler, Philip Z. Loh, Joseph Patrick Masterson

Publication number: 20170097808Abstract: Parsed attachments from email communications may be sorted. In some examples, an application, such as an email processing application, may display email summaries associated with emails within an email summary view of the email application interface. A selected email associated with a selected email summary may be displayed in an email view. The email processing application may identify one or more attachments within the emails. Attachment summaries associated with the one or more attachments may be displayed within an attachment summary view of the email application interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2015Publication date: April 6, 2017Inventors: Joey Masterson, Russell Lee Simpson, JR., IIya Smirnov, Paul Limont, Kip Fern, Jason Cook, Elena Catrinescu, Hayley Steplyk, David Meyers

Publication number: 20150277722Abstract: An adaptive layout and workflow engine. The adaptive layout and workflow engine allows various applications to dynamically render scaled views of content based on the characteristics of the display on the device being used to consume the content. The adaptive layout and workflow engine may select an appropriate view of the content to render based on the size, resolution, or aspect ratio of the display. The rendered size of the content and/or the user interface of the content application is evaluated relative to the characteristics of the display. Embodiments may provide different controls via the user interfaces based on the characteristics of the display and/or content. The adaptive layout and workflow engine may provide customized work flows via the user interface to improve the user experience depending on the display capabilities of the device used to consume the content.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 15, 2014Publication date: October 1, 2015Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Joseph Masterson, Jeremy de Souza, Jin Ma, Elena Catrinescu, Nathan Waddoups, Kenneth Fern, David Lloyd Meyers, Jr., David Paul Limont, Michael B.

Publication number: 20150277724Abstract: Inline document collaboration workflows are provided. When a user receives an electronic communication that includes an attached content item, the receiving user may select the attached content item and cause the attached content item to be displayed in an immersive view in proximity to an electronic communication pane in which an electronic communication may be conducted about any topic including the content item that is displayed in proximity to the electronic communication pane. During editing of a content item, an electronic communication may be generated from a user interface in which the content item is being generated, or alternatively a new content item may be generated out of an electronic communications user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2014Publication date: October 1, 2015Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Joseph Masterson, Jeremy de Souza, Jin Ma, Elena Catrinescu, Nathan Waddoups, Kenneth Fern, David Paul Limont, David Lloyd Meyers, JR., Michael B.

Publication number: 20150281148Abstract: Immersive document view and use in an electronic communications user interface are provided. If an electronic communications conversation is presented in an electronic communications pane or canvas, a user may navigate through the electronic communications items while a selected content item is maintained in a displayed state in an immersive view pane. The electronic communications conversation thread may be oriented such that oldest communication items are presented at the top, followed by next newer conversation items, and so on. A pop-out function may be provided wherein an editing experience for a selected content item may be popped out into a secondary user interface window in a partially or completely overlaying fashion over a user interface display window containing the components of the electronic communications user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2014Publication date: October 1, 2015Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Joseph Masterson, Jeremy de Souza, David Paul Limont, Jin Ma, Elena Catrinescu, Hayley Lynn Steplyk, David Lloyd Meyers, JR., Jason Cook, Kenneth Fern, Nathan Waddoups
