Patent number: 10721358Abstract: Embodiments described herein generally relate to a method and system of integrating a user's voice mail onto a single voice messaging service, e.g., a Unified Messaging (UM) service, such that a client may access this single source for voice mail retrieval, even where such voice mails are from a variety of sources, e.g., work, mobile phone, etc. A user, or the user's mobile operator, need only agree to accept the service, and the registration and configuration requirements for providing the service and forwarding calls to the service are automatically configured. The user's existing “speed dial” key or other setting for retrieving voice mail may also be automatically configured to the access number(s) for the service. Configurations may monitor the status of the service and update access and/or forwarding numbers. Voice mail forwarding and settings may also be automatically reverted back to the user's original service.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2019Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Juan V. Esteve Balducci, Michael Higashi, Selvaraj Nalliah, David Paul Limont, John Allen Atwood, Chris J. Hinman, Imran Masud

Patent number: 10616145Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing grouped data of interest. In some configurations, a computing device can include a user interface with one or more groups configured to receive messages. The groups can be computer-defined groups, such as by the computing device or other system, or user-defined groups. Techniques and technologies described herein receive a message in the one or more groups, and determine a message relevance (e.g., utility) based on the content and/or context (e.g., time of day, sender, geo-location of recipient, message urgency, etc.) of the message. In some configurations, the message relevance can be based, at least in part, on the particular group or a cluster of groups to which the message is associated.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2016Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Boyd Hays, Imran Masud, Cindy Kwan
