Patent number: 11494505Abstract: Data associated with a user account is stored at the cloud-based storage service. A portion of the data is associated with a heightened authentication protocol. A request for an application to access data that is associated with the heightened authentication protocol is received at the cloud-based storage service. The request may include an indication that the application is configured to interact with data with the heightened authentication protocol. The request is authenticated based on the heightened authentication protocol. In response to authenticating the first request, permission is granted to the application to access the data that is associated with the heightened authentication protocol. In response receiving requests that do not include the indication that the application is configured to interact with data with the heightened authentication protocol, data pertaining to the portion of the data with the heightened authentication protocol is hidden.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2019Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jyotsana Rathore, Jose A. Barreto, Kevin Andrew Chan, Gabriela Kornelia Kaczka, Gregory P. Young

Patent number: 11443052Abstract: A system is provided for controlling access to data stored in a cloud-based storage service. Data associated with a user account is stored at the cloud-based storage service. A first request to cause a portion of the data to be associated with a heightened authentication protocol is received. In response, the portion of the data is caused to require the heightened authentication protocol for access. A second request for a file that is stored in the area that is associated with the heightened authentication protocol is received. The second request is authenticated based on the heightened authentication protocol. In response to authenticating the second request, permission is granted to access the file. In response to a failure to authenticate the second request, access to the file is denied, while access to files stored in other areas associated with the user account is allowed.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2019Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Filip C. Lazar, Steven J. Bailey, John D. Rodrigues, Andrew Keith Glover, Jyotsana Rathore, Jose A. Barreto, Kevin Andrew Chan, Gregory P. Young, Jacob C. Schieber, Jackson Cowan, Meir E. Abergel

Patent number: 11392711Abstract: A system is provided for controlling access to data stored in a cloud-based storage service. A first request is received to access data stored at the cloud-based storage service, the data associated with a user account. The first request is authenticated based on a username and password associated with the user account. A second request is received for a file that is stored in an area associated with a heightened authentication protocol. The heightened authentication protocol is performed to authenticate the second request. In response to authenticating the second request, permission is granted to a temporary strong authentication state. The permission is to access the file that is stored in the area associated with the heightened authentication protocol.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2019Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jyotsana Rathore, Kevin Andrew Chan, Gabriela Kornelia Kaczka, Deepak Sreenivas Pemmaraju, Robert C.

Patent number: 10585579Abstract: Providing user interaction guidance for services and associated applications may become more difficult as their variety and depth increases. Embodiments are directed to managing activation of and providing guidance on how to use a hosted service. For example, an initial configuration of a user interface (UI) of the hosted service that includes at least one element to highlight functionality may be provided for display. An initial action may be received from a user associated with the functionality, the initial action may be performed, and the UI may be updated to reflect the performed initial action. The initial action may be an activation action or upload action, for example. Additionally, a teaching UI element with a celebratory message to highlight the performed initial action and to provide additional information may be provided for display and rendered at a proximate position to a representation of the performed initial action.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2017Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Arwa Zoher Tyebkhan, Carlos G. Perez, Max S. Lustig, John Henry Miller, Gregory P. Young, Anne Catherine Feldman, Reema Bhagat, Colton B. Marshall
