Patent number: 7930272Abstract: Systems and methods for synchronizing data between endpoints, including the modification of data on an endpoint without necessarily modifying data that is communicated between endpoints are disclosed. In such systems and methods the representation of data on an endpoint may be modified so that constraints on that particular endpoint are enforced, without requiring a similar or the same modification to the data when it is synchronized to other endpoints.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2010Date of Patent: April 19, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Akash J. Sagar, George P. Moromisato, Richard Yiu-Sai Chung, Paresh S. Suthar, Raymond E. Ozzie, Jack E. Ozzie, Matthew S. Augustine

Publication number: 20110040850Abstract: Data files, applications and/or corresponding user interfaces may be accessed at a device that collaborates in a mesh. The mesh may include any number or type of devices that collaborate in a network. Data, applications and/or corresponding user interfaces may be stored within a core object that may be shared over the mesh. Information in the core object may be identified with a corresponding user such that a user may use any collaborating device in the mesh to access the information. In one example, the information is stored remotely from a device used to access the information. A remote source may store the desired information or may determine the storage location of the desired information in the mesh and may further provide the desired information to a corresponding user.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2010Publication date: February 17, 2011Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: George P. Moromisato, Noah B. Edelstein, Abhay V. Parasnis, Anthony D. Andrews, Raymond E. Ozzie, William D. Devlin, Akash J. Sagar

Patent number: 7734690Abstract: A conventional operating system folder or directory based file system is implemented with, or enhanced to provide, attributes of shared collaborative workspaces. In particular, the conventional file system is connected to either a server based or a distributed collaboration system and the user interface of the operating system file system is augmented to allow it to control aspects of the collaboration system. Each folder or directory can be synchronized and treated as a “workspace” that can be viewed and shared with other users or groups of users. Folder can also be provided with “awareness” information that indicates collaborators that are present and those that are sharing the workspace.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2003Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: George P. Moromisato, Gregory S. Klabish, Jerry J. Shekhel, Pamela J. Taylor-Paris, Mark R. Szamrej, Raymond E. Ozzie, Eric M. Patey, Patrick M. Halvorsen

Patent number: 7624421Abstract: Proper user-to-data associations are maintained in shared spaces created in a peer-to-peer collaborative system by means of a simplified and minimal user interface that permits users to easily authenticate other members of a shared space. In particular, support is provided for automatically building authenticated relationships even if users do not take the time to authenticate other users. When a user enters a shared space and views the contacts in that space, the display names of each contact are accompanied by distinctive icons that identify that authentication status of that contact. A mechanism is provided for resolving conflicts between contacts with the same display names to prevent confusion and contact “spoofing.” Security policies can be established to provide a uniform approach to authentication. These policies can be set by a user or, alternatively, the policies can be set by an administrator.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2003Date of Patent: November 24, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Raymond E.

Publication number: 20090248695Abstract: Systems and methods for implementing online and offline applications are described. Such systems and methods may in some cases provide the same programming interface, regardless of whether the application is online or offline. Such systems and methods may also or instead in some cases provide additional or other possible capabilities, including installation without elevated privileges, simplified data synchronization, sharing of applications and application data, access to data from other applications, and richer client functionality than may be provided by an application such as a web browser.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2008Publication date: October 1, 2009Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Raymond E.

Publication number: 20090216908Abstract: Systems and methods of providing synchronization of providing a device mesh and a virtual computing device are disclosed herein. A selection of a plurality of computer devices, such as PDAs, cellphone, laptops, and the like, can be received from a user. The data at the virtual computing device and the plurality of devices can be synchronized. Access to all applications available in each computing device in the plurality of computing devices can be provided at the virtual computing device. Access to all data available in each computing device in the plurality of computing devices can be provided at the virtual computing device.

Publication number: 20090112870Abstract: Systems and methods of distributed storage are disclosed herein. A request to store data in a client computer is received. A request is sent from the client computer to a storage service to create a core object such that the core object can be created with a member entry to a member feed in the core object. The member feed can be indicative of one or more entities that are permitted to access to the core object. A message is received at the client computer with the core object. A replica of the core object on the client computer is created. The client computer can add the data as a data entry to a data feed in the core object. An updating message is sent to the storage service. The message can include a copy of the replica of the core object including the data entry.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2007Publication date: April 30, 2009Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Raymond E.

Publication number: 20090094105Abstract: Contextual advertisements embedded within content having tooltip type display functionality are provided where content can be evaluated for possible points for insertion of the advertisements. The content can be evaluated against a list of trigger points indicating advertisement should be inserted along with instructions to embed the advertisements. Using this information, the content can be modified to embed appropriate advertising. Upon returning the content, a viewer thereof can view the content normally, but certain events with respect to the trigger points can cause tooltip type display of the advertisement (such as hovering a cursor over the trigger point). In this regard, trigger points, such as keywords, having associated pop-up advertisements can be underlined or otherwise identified.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2007Publication date: April 9, 2009Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Alexander G. Gounares, David M. Chickering, Eric J. Horvitz, Michael Connolly, Lili Cheng, Kamal Jain, George P. Moromisato

Publication number: 20090083338Abstract: Systems and methods of providing synchronization of electronic postings are disclosed herein. A first pre-existing file item is identified in a first file system of a first computing device. A first posting can be received at the first file system. The first posting can a user-entered posting. The first posting can be associated with the first pre-existing file item in the first file system. A synchronization request can be sent to a second file system of a second computing device. The synchronization request causes the second file system to automatically create a second posting and to associate the second posting with a second pre-existing file item in the second file system. The second posting in the second file system is a synchronized copy of the first posting.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2007Publication date: March 26, 2009Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Christopher A. Evans, Raymond E. Ozzie, George P. Moromisato
