Patent number: 9395959Abstract: Integrated workflow visualization and editing is provided using a visual graphic diagramming tool and a web application platform tool to create a workflow. A visual representation of a workflow is created using the visual graphic diagramming tool. A declarative markup language file representing the workflow is provided to a web application platform tool for further modification of the workflow. The workflow is opened in the web application platform tool and desired parameters in the workflow are set. Visualization data from the graphic diagramming tool and the set parameters are bundled in a single declarative markup language file formatted for reading by both the visual graphic diagramming tool and the web application platform tool to allow manipulations and parameterization of the workflow in both the visual graphic diagramming tool and the web application platform tool.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2011Date of Patent: July 19, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: L. Tucker Hatfield, William Charles Kennedy, David Charles Wadsworth, Samuel Chung, Jason Frank Morrill, Soo Youn Cho, Seung Wook Son, Hoe Jin Kim

Patent number: 9235335Abstract: Concepts and technologies are described herein for touch interactions with a drawing application. In accordance with the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, user devices can obtain drawing data generated by a web-based drawing application and can display a drawing by rendering the data in one or more UIs. The user device can interpret touch gestures at a touch sensitive display used to present the UIs and can interpret the touch gestures as corresponding to one or more commands for modifying the UIs. According to various embodiments, the user device can interpret the touch gestures by determining if the touch gestures intersect an object in the drawing and other behavior associated with the touch gesture such as movement, subsequent touches, and whether or not an object intersected was selected when the touch gesture was commenced.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2012Date of Patent: January 12, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jason Frank Morrill, Jie Li, L.

Patent number: 8296673Abstract: A tab-based collapsible user interface includes selectable user interface tabs, a ribbon area, and an editing surface. When a browse tab is selected, the ribbon area displays information and does not include any user interface controls for performing commands. When the browse tab is selected, a vertical scroll bar is displayed adjacent to the ribbon area and the editing surface. When the vertical scroll bar is used, the ribbon area and the editing surface are both scrolled. When a page tab or a contextual tab is selected, the ribbon area displays user interface controls for performing commands. When a page tab or a contextual tab is selected, a vertical scroll bar is displayed adjacent to the editing surface but not adjacent to the ribbon area. When the vertical scroll bar is used, the contents of the editing surface are scrolled but the ribbon area is not scrolled.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2010Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Shawn Allan Michael Lipstein, Jonathan Fred Kern, Jeffrey Charles Dunn, Monica Estela Gonzalez Veron, Gail Borod Giacobbe, Jason Frank Morrill, Timothy Paul McConnell, John Spencer Pruitt
