Publication number: 20200004843Abstract: The present concepts relate to interpolating a location of an address. In one example, an address index may be generated, which contains rooftop addresses and corresponding percentage values representing the percentage distances along street primitives at which those rooftop addresses are located based on rooftop locations of the rooftop addresses. Upon receiving a query address, whose rooftop location is not known, the address index can be referenced to identify two surrounding rooftop addresses between which the query address lies, and an estimated geographical location of the query address may be calculated by interpolating between the rooftop locations of the two surrounding rooftop addresses.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2018Publication date: January 2, 2020Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLcInventors: Kumarswamy P. VALEGEREPURA, Kartik KUKREJA, Wei WU, Florin TEODORESCU, William M. GANNON, Jing LI

Publication number: 20160196349Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to providing search results on a map view for a multi-entity query. A search query submitted by a user may be received. A tile in a map may be identified based on the search query. Valid query patterns for the search query corresponding to entities on the identified tile may be determined. Potential scores for each of the determined valid query patterns may be calculated. Potential scores for the determined valid query patterns may be ordered. Actual scores for a plurality of the determined valid query patterns may be calculated.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2015Publication date: July 7, 2016Inventors: Pavel Berkhin, Michael Evans, Florin Teodorescu

Publication number: 20150356088Abstract: A geocoding architecture that generates and associates one or more tile documents with geocoded tiles. When connected entities are defined, the connected entity attributes are collected in a single tile document so that tile-document terms are attributes of all connected entities. These terms later serve as keys that enable search for tiles relevant for a given query. Entity documents are created that are an aggregation of entity attributes. Like the entity document, the tile document serves as an aggregator for all the geospatial entities within a pre-determined surface area. Search is then performed on the content of tile and entity documents.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2014Publication date: December 10, 2015Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Pavel Berkhin, Florin Teodorescu, Bimal Mehta, Andrew P. Oakley, Erik C. Wahlstrom, David L. Racz, Anurag Sharma, Michael R. Evans

Patent number: 8788715Abstract: A system and method for carrying out network and interface selections across multiple media is disclosed. The disclosed system facilitates automated network interface configuration decision-making that spans a set of networks supporting communications via differing media. A set of media specific modules associated with differing communications media acquire network interface status/capabilities information. A rules engine thereafter applies a designated network selection rule(s) to the acquired network interface status/capabilities information, and any other appropriate parameters attributable to either an interface or network, to select one or more networks and interfaces with which to establish/maintain a connection.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2011Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Anton Krantz, Warren V. Barkley, Dan Knudson, Florin Teodorescu, Mohammad Shabbir Alam, Vivek Bhanu, Edwin A. Hernandez-Mondragon, Taroon Mandhana, Timothy M. Moore, Abhishek Abhishek

Patent number: 7640288Abstract: A method, schema and computer system for a location service provides data structures that are extensible by allowing different types of location awareness applications to retrieve and deposit location data. The method includes providing an abstract location object arranged in a schema to enable servicing a received request for a logical location of an electronic endpoint; and arranging one or more location elements within the context of the abstract location object. The location elements are configured to act as peers relative to the logical location and each location element is configured to act as a proxy relative to any other location element within the abstract location object.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2004Date of Patent: December 29, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Yinghua Yao, Mohammad Shabbir Alam, Vivek Bhanu, Warren V. Barkley, David Buerer, Denise Chen, Florin Teodorescu, Mark Huyler, John C. Krumm, Christopher J. Lang, Tim McGrath, Timothy M. Moore, Madhurima Pawar, Geoffrey Pease, Steven A. N. Shafer

Patent number: 7536695Abstract: A location service and method provides a location aware computing device that is extensible by allowing different types of location awareness providers operate with the service. The method includes receiving a request for a location context, acquiring data associated with a current location from one or more location detection devices, reconciling the acquired data for any inconsistencies concerning the current location by applying either or both of a hierarchical and a metric process, and generating a location object accessible to applications. The service includes a location management component configured to route location data, a fuser engine configured to receive one or more location reports generated from the location data, reconcile conflicts between the location reports and generate a location object, and one or more location application programming interfaces (APIs) coupled to the location management component to transmit the location object from the fuser engine to an application.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2003Date of Patent: May 19, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Mohammad Shabbir Alam, Warren Vincent Barkley, Timothy M. Moore, Geoffrey E. Pease, Steven A. N. Shafer, Florin Teodorescu, Yinghua Yao, Madhurima Pawar, John C. Krumm

Patent number: 7512081Abstract: A system and method for enabling a zero configuration nomadic wireless and wired computing environment presenting a just works experience is presented. The system examines predefined user preference or profile settings to determine to which of a competing number of wireless networks available it should connect, and what type of authentication should be used for such connection. Nomadic wireless computing between infrastructure wireless networks and ad hoc wireless networks may be accomplished without further user intervention required in an auto mode. Also, both infrastructure only and ad hoc only modes are available through the system of the invention. Further, the user may set a preference for infrastructure or ad hoc modes in the auto mode. With an infrastructure mode preference set, the system will automatically detect and transfer connectivity to a newly available infrastructure wireless network if the user was previously operating off-line or in ad hoc mode.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2005Date of Patent: March 31, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Arun Ayyagari, Sachin C.

Patent number: 7051087Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for automatic detection and configuration of network parameters. The system includes a first computer system for communicating to a network and at least a second computer system for providing network information. The first computer system queries the network and receives network information from the at least a second computer system before a network identification has been established for the first computer system. The system further includes a storage for storing at least one configuration associated with a network interface. The first computer system configures the network interface based upon the network information received from the at least a second computer system. Also, the first computer system may configure the network interface by determining a network identification associated with the network information and matching the at least one configuration with the network identification.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2000Date of Patent: May 23, 2006Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Pradeep Bahl, Ramesh K.
