Patent number: 9251317Abstract: Embodiments related to network video messaging are disclosed. One disclosed embodiment provides a method that comprises receiving a video message from a client application of a source client; associating a navigation link with the video message; transmitting a notification message to the recipient client including the navigation link; receiving a retrieval request from the recipient client to access the video content via the navigation link; and transmitting the video content to the recipient client responsive to receiving the retrieval request by providing a persistent download of the video content from the storage server if the download condition indicates that a persistent download of the video content is permissible; and providing a transient download of the video content to the recipient client while prohibiting a persistent download of the video content if the download condition indicates that a persistent download of the video content is not permissible.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2009Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Zhangwei Xu, Martin Hall, Mark McNulty, Guruprakash Rao, Xiaofeng Gao, Fei Chen, Ricardo Lopez-Barquilla, Martin Holladay

Patent number: 9141423Abstract: A Datacenter Management Service (DMS) is provided as a platform designed to automate datacenter management tasks that are performed across multiple technology silos and datacenter servers or collections of servers. The infrastructure to perform the automation is provided by integrating heterogeneous task providers and implementations into a set of standardized adapters through dependency inversion. A platform automating datacenter management tasks may include three main components: integration of adapters into an interface allowing a common interface for datacenter task execution, an execution platform that works against the adapters, and implementation of the adapters for a given type of datacenter management task.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2014Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Guruprakash Rao, Jacob D. Sink, Joshua Martin

Patent number: 8578460Abstract: Technologies are generally described for automatically reconnecting a security principal to cloud services through correlation of security principal identifier attributes. A new security principal for a user may be detected and automatically reconnected to the user's cloud based services. An administrator for the security domains may specify a value of a unique security principal metadata attribute for the original security principal in a customizable security principal metadata attribute in the new security principal in the same or new security domain. A secondary verification metadata attribute may optionally be specified to ensure the correct security principal is reconnected to the user's cloud based resources. The correlation between the original security principal for the user and the new security principal may be used to reconnect the user's cloud resources.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2011Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: John B. Cucco, Veniamin Rybalka, Ulric Dihle, Larry Draper, Kanika Agrawal, Tony Chan, Guruprakash Rao, Ashwin Chandra
