Patent number: 10409829Abstract: Described is a system and method for updating a contact and adding a new contact from a call log in a communications device. The system includes a contact manager that is directed towards creating and updating call contact cards in a contact database with information retrieved from call logs of phone calls made to or from the communications device. In one embodiment, information is pre-populated into a predetermined data field of the contact card, thereby reducing workload to a user. The method includes determining if a request is for updating an existing contact card or for adding a new contact card to the contact database. The update or addition is made with information retrieved from call logs. Call information is pre-populated into a predetermined data field of the contact card, when it is determined that the request is to add a new contact card to the contact database.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2015Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Susan Elizabeth Pappalardo, Jason William Fuller, Peter G. Chin, Jessica Dale Tenenbaum

Patent number: 10169111Abstract: A unified mechanism for storing device, application, and service state, as well as a rich notification brokerage architecture includes a notification broker. Clients register with the notification broker to receive notifications for changes to state properties. When a registered state property changes, a notification broker determines which clients to notify of the state change and provides the client with a notification regarding the change. Clients may be notified whenever a state changes, when a state change meets a predetermined condition, or based on a schedule. An application may also be launched in response to a state change. An application programming interface (API) is provided that provides a unified way of accessing state change information across different components within the device.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2015Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Jan Karachale, Jason William Fuller, Robert Levy, Zeke Koch, Ardan Arac, Brian Cross, Ori M.

Patent number: 9060196Abstract: The subject disclosure is directed towards a technology by which background application code (e.g., provided by third-party developers) runs on a mobile device in a way that is constrained with respect to resource usage. A resource manager processes a resource reservation request for background code, to determine whether the requested resources meet constraint criteria for that type of background code. If the criteria are met and the resources are available, the resources are reserved, whereby the background code is ensured priority access to its reserved resources. As a result, a properly coded background application that executes within its constraints will not experience glitches or other problems (e.g., unexpected termination) and thereby provide a good user experience.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2011Date of Patent: June 16, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Peter John Torr, Abolade Gbadegesin, Shawn P. Burke, Vijayendra Gopalrao Vasu, Jason William Fuller, Randal J. Ramig, Kunal R. Gandhi, Jorge I. Raastroem, Darin Miller, Alper Selcuk, Timothy Michael Kurtzman, Rachel Jiang

Patent number: 7088341Abstract: This invention provides a system and method for a user of a mobile computing device to input special characters using a modifier key on a keyboard. The special characters include accented characters associated with regular characters. In one aspect, a computer-implemented method for configuring a mobile computing device for a user to enter special characters is provided. The computer-implemented method includes inputting a regular character in response to a user pressing a key associated with the regular character. After the regular character has been inputted, the user may input a special character by pressing a modifier key. A special character associated with the regular character is determined in response to the user pressing the modifier key. The special character may be determined based on the number of times that the user has pressed the modifier key. The inputted regular character is then modified to the special character.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2003Date of Patent: August 8, 2006Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Zeke Koch, Maurizio Cibelli, Jason William Fuller
