Patent number: 10075520Abstract: In one embodiment, a metric collection system may collect application metrics across multiple data centers in specific time intervals. A local collection point 108 may establish an absolute reference time for a local data center 102. The local collection point 108 may determine a source reporting interval for an application 106 based on the absolute reference time. The local collection point 108 may receive a source metric report 300 for the application 106 based on the source reporting interval.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2012Date of Patent: September 11, 2018Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Cheuk Wan William Lau, Ravikant Cherukuri, George Joy, Smriti Yamini

Patent number: 9762518Abstract: Various embodiments provide session-based filtering to filter messages in a cooperative manner between a client and a service provider. In at least some embodiments, a service provider can establish a messaging session with a client and deliver messages to the client. The client can implement various client-side techniques to filter some of the messages based on various client designated criteria. The service provider can obtain feedback from the client indicative of one or more of the delivered messages that have been filtered. The service provider can dynamically create a session-based list based on the feedback and use the list during the session to block messages on the server-side according to the client designated criteria. When the session concludes, the session-based list can be discarded. In this manner, message filtering can occur without persistent storage of state data for the filtering at the service provider.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2015Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Kevin Michael Woley, Gaurav S. Anand, Rajeev Dutt, Matthew R. Ayers, Darren Louie, George Joy

Patent number: 9760413Abstract: A notification service receives messages including various data from application services, and provides notifications including that data to the appropriate computing devices. Each computing device includes a notification system that receives notifications from the notification service and provides those notifications to the appropriate applications on the computing device. If an application is not allowed to run on a computing device, the notification system on the computing device provides an indication to the notification service to block notifications for the application on the computing device. The notification service ceases providing notifications to a computing device targeting applications for which notifications are blocked on the computing device until an indication is received from the computing device to unblock notifications for the application.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2016Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Kevin Michael Woley, Benjamin Salim Srour, Gaurav S. Anand, Nathan J. Kuchta, Benjamin D. L. Stewart, Evgeny Skarbovsky, Donovan P. Regan, George Joy, Darren Louie

Patent number: 9225538Abstract: Stateless application notifications are described that enable third parties to provide messages to client applications. A communication channel can be established between a notification service and an application. Upon request, the notification service can generate obfuscated routing data for the channel, which can be in the form of a channel handle or token. The routing data can be encrypted and digitally signed to obscure the content and format of the routing data from third parties. An application service possessing the obfuscated routing data can package a notification with the data and send the package to the notification service for delivery. The application service does so without knowing the channel particulars encoded by the obfuscated routing data. The notification service that produces the obfuscated routing data can decrypt and interpret the data, and deliver the notification on the channel to an appropriate endpoint application on behalf of the application service.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2011Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: George Joy, Cheuk Wan William Lau, Darren Louie, Yosef Firstenberg, Ravikant Cherukuri, Kevin Michael Woley, Matthew R.

Patent number: 8782145Abstract: A content item hosted by a content item source (such as a weblog post of a weblog) may receive updates (e.g., comments submitted by users), and may be discussed among users in a chat group of a chat service. The content item source and the chat service may coordinate to notify users of updates to the content item, and to share content regarding the content item. When a user requests to subscribe to updates of the content item, the content item source may invite the user to join a chat group of the chat service created for discussion of the content item. Additionally, updates to the content item received by the content item source may be automatically posted as messages in the chat group, and messages posted in the chat group regarding the content item may be automatically posted as updates to the content item at the content item source.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2010Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Ravikant Cherukuri, Aditya Bandi, Cheuk Wan William Lau, George Joy
