Patent number: 8100756Abstract: A system that facilitates enhancing a game, game play or playability of a game may include an experience component, a game component and an alteration component. The experience component can collect a portion of data related to a game in which the portion of data indicates at least one of a tip or a tactic for the game. The game component can dynamically incorporate the portion of data into the game during game play to enhance playability of such game for a user with assistance provided by at least one of the tip or the tactic. The alteration component may alter the game during game play.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2007Date of Patent: January 24, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Bret P. O'Rourke, Eric P.

Patent number: 5903255Abstract: A method and system for selecting a color for display in a computer system. The present invention provides a color picker that displays the available colors in a honeycomb with an overall shape of a hexagon ("hexagonal honeycomb"). The color picker fills each cell of the honeycomb with a distinct color. The color picker fills each cell at a corner of the hexagonal honeycomb with certain colors and the center cell of the hexagonal honeycomb with a gray scale color. The other cells are filled with colors that are based approximately on their distance from the corner cells. The color picker also displays a second honeycomb that contains gray scale colors. A user then uses a mouse to select a cell of either honeycomb that contains the desired color.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 1996Date of Patent: May 11, 1999Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Brendan G. Busch, Rosanna H. Ho, Marc R. Keller, Hannes Ruescher, Eric P. Wilfrid, Cathleen G. Harris
