Patent number: 10733588Abstract: In some examples, a merchant device at a point of sale (POS) location may present information to a merchant in a first language preferred by the merchant, and may present information to a buyer in a second language preferred by the buyer. The merchant device may switch between the different languages in response to detecting a change in the physical orientation of a display. For instance, in a first orientation in which the display is viewable from a merchant direction, the merchant device may present information in the language preferred by the merchant. When the orientation of the display is changed to a second orientation in which the display is viewable from a buyer direction, the merchant device may present information in the language indicated to be preferred by the buyer. Various techniques may be used for determining the preferred language of a particular buyer.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2018Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: Square, Inc.Inventors: Christopher Lang Mocko, Koun Han, Hsuan-Yu (Jerry) Lin, Michael Wells White

Publication number: 20090007143Abstract: A system that enables notification of a critical quota status related to a mail (or Exchange) server is provided. The system can employ parameters directly from a mail server or, alternatively, from a stats store located within a client device to trigger generation and delivery of a quota full (or exceeded) state. This alert can be locally generated within the client device to convey the critical quota status. In operation, the alert protocol can employ most any protocol including but, not limited to, an email, calendar entry, task, instant message (IM), or the like. In the case of an email alert, the system can timestamp the alert thereby making it always appear on the top of the inbox thus, conspicuous to a user.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2007Publication date: January 1, 2009Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Li-Kai K.

Patent number: 7437573Abstract: Unsent messages are securely stored in a client by determining whether a connection to a server exists. If the connection exists, the message can be sent using the intended recipient's public key. In response to a determination that a connection from the client to a server does not exist, information from the client can be used to encrypt a modulated data signal that is to be sent from the client to the server. The encrypted modulated data signal is stored on the client. When a determination is made that a connection from the client to the server exists, information from the client is used to decrypt the encrypted modulated data signal.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2005Date of Patent: October 14, 2008Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Eian D. Counts, Garrett R. Vargas, Hsuan-Yu Jerry Lin
