Publication number: 20100201695Abstract: A system and method for optimizing the performance of a graphics intensive software program for graphics acceleration hardware. This system and method encompasses a procedure that validates the different functions of a 3D acceleration capable video card, decides whether to use the acceleration hardware and optimizes the software application to selectively use the functions that work on the specific video acceleration card. Functions checked include sub-pixel positioning, opacity, color replacement and fog. If these tests are successful, then the graphics acceleration is used by the software application. However, if the tests are not successful the decision is made not to use graphics accelerator. Those with ordinary skill in the art will realize that it is not necessary to perform all of the tests in a specific order.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2010Publication date: August 12, 2010Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Ryan C. Hill, Imran Iqbal Qureshi

Publication number: 20090327938Abstract: A system and method for graphically showing the animation order of animated elements in a presentation program or other software. The invention consists of a User Interface (UI) widget which shows the order of the animation in the presentation. This UI employs an animation On Object User Interface (OOUI), or animation tag, that is preferably a rectangular control that encloses a number, and labels the order in which objects are animated. Each animation OOUI or animation tag is associated with an object on a display during creation and editing. The animation OOUI or tag is preferably placed in close proximity to the object it is associated with, rather than in a separate window or dialog box, and is hence termed ‘On Object’. The animation tag is active and responds to computer input device selection actions. Each animation OOUI is typically associated with an animation list.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2009Publication date: December 31, 2009Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Peter Faraday, Steven P. Geffner, Elaine Y. Law, Imran Iqbal Qureshi

Patent number: 7240287Abstract: A system and method for delivering a presentation electronically. The invention takes advantage of the multiple monitor capabilities of a computer operating system to display a “control panel” on the computer monitor or laptop screen that typically only the presenter will view. The presenter can use this control panel to view and control the presentation while the audience only sees a full screen slideshow. Providing this “presenter” view and control makes computer-based presenting much easier. The presenter can control the specific aspects of the slideshow from the private monitor using control buttons or keyboard shortcuts.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2001Date of Patent: July 3, 2007Assignee: Microsoft Corp.Inventors: Imran Iqbal Qureshi, Mark Lauden Crosley, Esther Chang-Yuan Ho

Patent number: 6957389Abstract: A system and method for graphically showing the animation order of animated elements in a presentation program or other software. More particularly, the invention consists of a User Interface (UI) widget which shows the order of the animation in the presentation. This UI employs an animation On Object User Interface (OOUI), or animation tag, that is preferably a rectangular control that encloses a number, and labels the order in which objects are animated. Each animation OOUI or animation tag is associated with an object on a display during creation and editing. The animation OOUI or tag is preferably placed in close proximity to the object it is associated with, rather than in a separate window or dialog box, and is hence termed ‘On Object’. The enclosed number represents the number in a sequence of mouse clicks or other computer input device selection actions which causes an animation effect on an associated object or element.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2001Date of Patent: October 18, 2005Assignee: Microsoft Corp.Inventors: Peter Faraday, Steven P.

Patent number: 6128629Abstract: A computer-based system and method of updating and viewing an electronic slide show presentation is disclosed. The method includes storing a local version of the slide presentation file and an indication of the most recent update to the slide presentation. When a user launches the local slide presentation, the date of the most recent update to the slide presentation is retrieved, and used to determine whether a new update is advisable. A dialog window queries the user as to whether to perform an update of the slide presentation. If the user responds affirmatively, the slide presentation program automatically retrieves a version of the slide presentation from a remote computer on a network. After updating the local version of the an slide presentation file, an electronic slide show is automatically launched utilizing the remote version retrieved from the network.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2000Date of Patent: October 3, 2000Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Richard Bretschneider, Burton Siu, Imran Iqbal Qureshi

Patent number: 6084582Abstract: A computer-based system and method of recording and playing back audio narration to accompany an electronic slide show presentation is disclosed. The method includes a slide show recording session, during which a series of slides are sequentially displayed. During the recording session, a segment of audio input corresponding to the display of each slide within a slide presentation is recorded and digitized. Each digitized audio segment is stored and associated with its corresponding slide. Audio data may be embedded within a slide, or alternatively stored in a file and linked to a slide. During a subsequent performance of the slide show, when each slide is displayed, its corresponding audio segment is retrieved and played back. The method also stores timings corresponding to each slide during the slide show recording session, and optionally uses these timings to advance slides during the subsequent slide show presentation.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 1997Date of Patent: July 4, 2000Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Imran Iqbal Qureshi, Bakul Vinodchandra Patel, Paul O.
