Patent number: 10380193Abstract: Architecture that computes a definitive answer to a user's top intent of a search query, and positions the top intent answer in a prominent way and at a prominent location of a results page or other search user interface, where the user is most likely to see the top intent answer in an expeditious manner. This may be at the top-most position of the page, above the search results and advertisements, but below the page header and search box. Additionally, the definitive and prominently-placed answer can be presented with an interactive, animated, and/or visually rich element that supplements the original intent. The top intent location can be the boldest element on the page, extend at least one full dimension of the page, use larger fonts and bolder colors than the rest of the search results, and which makes finding the answer easier and faster for the user to locate.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2014Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Christina Colcernian, Yinghua Yao, Anh Quynh Ly, Britt H. Hansing, William James Wagner, Elia Karagiannis, Nathan Chalmers

Patent number: 9703806Abstract: Architecture for centralized photo storage for user profiles with consent and cardkey system integration. A picture picker can connect to a cardkey/security badge photo system to allow users to choose from badge photos. Consent is also captured by the picker to allow user photos to be used in other applications. Other applications can interact with the photo storage using standard web services and APIs for the user profile and user profile change log services. Centralized storage and insured accessibility enable applications to consume from the photo storage. The photo storage can also function as a virtual directory with distributed storage as utilized for geographical deployments. Extensions of the photo storage can include an add-in for a personal information manager application and a management agent for web-based collaboration and document management to copy photos from/to other directory structures.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2008Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Gregory T. Mattox, Jr., Jad Honein, Elia Karagiannis, Erin Stewart, David Johnson

Publication number: 20140325374Abstract: Computer-readable media, methods, and systems for generating user interfaces across multiple form factor devices are provided. A server is configured to group a plurality of templates into one or more sets having a different layout for categories of devices or applications. The server receives a request from a device for user interface content. In response, the server parses the request to determine a type for the device or a type for an application requesting the user interface content. The devices or applications are classified by the server based on the identified type for the device or application. A set of appropriate user interfaces is selected based on the type of the device or application. The server maps values to one or more attributes associated with the selected set and transmits the user interface content to the device for rendering.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2013Publication date: October 30, 2014Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Olivier Jerzy Dabrowski, Jim Gilsinan, Keith Alan Regier, Jonathan Bergeron, Elia Karagiannis, Troy Ma, John Michael Guthmann

Publication number: 20090150795Abstract: Architecture that enables an end user interested in rendering a map in a web-based collaboration and document management platform the ability to do so without writing custom code. The architecture includes a map server control for insertion into a web page to display a map view. The end user can also employ a pushpin database to store different landmarks to be displayed on the map view. An administrator server control is provided for managing the content (e.g., landmark data) of the database, and a legend server control for providing a list of landmark data for selection and presentation in the map view. A data interface facilitates access to the pushpin database for administrator functions and pushpin information for presentation and selection.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2007Publication date: June 11, 2009Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Rachna Vargiya, David C.
