Patent number: 11310178Abstract: Collaborating on documents by e-mail may be streamlined into a unified process. In one example, a user creates a document in an online document service, and sends the document to collaborators by mailing a link to the document. The document may have permissions set so that the creator of the document, and any user on the e-mail distribution list, can read and edit the document. When a user receives the e-mail, that user may open and edit the document. Upon closing the editing application, the user may be presented with an appropriate interface to create a reply e-mail.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2019Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Daniel W. Crevier, Jason F. Moore, David Citron, Jennifer I. Shen, Gareth A. Howell, Jonathan A. Bockelman

Patent number: 10198523Abstract: Embodiments are provided for utilizing server pre-processing to deploy static renditions of electronic documents in a computer network. An electronic document may be published from a client computer to a first server computer in the computer network. During publication, the first server computer may create a static rendition of the electronic document and a viewing application for viewing the static rendition of the electronic document on the client computer. The first server computer may store the static rendition of the electronic document and the viewing application on a second server computer for delivery to the client computer. Other embodiments may also include receiving, at the first server computer, a request to make revisions to the electronic document and sending a dynamic version of the electronic document from the first server computer to the client for making the revisions to the electronic document.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2009Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Gareth A. Howell, Christopher J. Brown, Sugandha S. Kapoor, Donovan P. Lange, Zhenjun Zhu

Patent number: 8789159Abstract: Systems and methods for creating a secure process on a web server can include creating an application manager process, and creating an application host process, the application host process being created under control of the application manager process. Example methods can also include restricting attributes of the application host process, and assigning a unique logon identifier to the application host process so that the application host process can only communicate with the application manager process.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2008Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: S. Franklin Williams, Kiran Akella Venkata, David C. LeBlanc, Juraj Gottweis, Gareth A. Howell, Scott A. Field, Ramesh Chinta
