Patent number: 11800575Abstract: Connection settings used by a mobile device to connect to a packet data network, e.g. the internet, are stored in a subscriber identity module (SIM) card. This enables connection settings to be pre-loaded on a SIM card, allowing a mobile device to immediately connect to the internet without manual configuration. The mobile device's connection settings may also be updated by a mobile network operator via an over the air profile update. For example, the operator may supply a device with connection settings the first time it connects to the network. Connection settings may be stored in one or more files within the SIM profile, and may be updated via a remote file management operation. Embedded-SIM (eSIM) profiles may also store connection settings in profile metadata, which may be updated via a metadata update operation.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2021Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Anand Muthurajan, Wael Jendli, Sohail A.

Publication number: 20210358294Abstract: A remote control device controls a physical controlled device in a physical user space using a virtual control in a mixed reality environment, including positioning, by a remote control device, the virtual control associated with the physical controlled device within a visual user space displayed by the remote control device and viewable within a field of view of a user. The remote control device detects a first user activation of the virtual control within the visual user space and generates a remote control instruction representing the first user activation of the virtual control by the user, the remote control instruction being supported by the physical controlled device to perform the first user activation on the physical controlled device. The remote control device transmits the remote control instruction from the remote control device to the physical controlled device, responsive to detecting the first user activation.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2020Publication date: November 18, 2021Inventors: Hiranmay Parashar, Jean Khawand

Publication number: 20210120412Abstract: An internet of things (“IoT”) device is disclosed that can be authenticated on a wireless local area network (“WLAN”) without human intervention. The IoT device can also authenticate itself with a network service without human intervention. In order to enable this functionality, data identifying a service set identifier (“SSID”) used by the WLAN, a digital certificate for use in authenticating on the WLAN, and a digital certificate for use in authenticating with a network service are stored in the IoT device at the time it is manufactured. The digital certificate for authenticating on the WLAN is stored at an authentication server and information about the digital certificate for use in authenticating with the network service is stored at the network service. The IoT device can use the SSID to connect to the WLAN and use the digital certificates to authenticate with the authentication server and the network service, respectively.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2019Publication date: April 22, 2021Inventors: John David BRUNER, Shai GUDAY, Jean KHAWAND, Dhanya Krishnan NAIR, Paul Wayne IRWIN, Sohail A.

Patent number: 10728164Abstract: This application describes client devices that control network transmission based on a power state. The client device determines a power state of the computing device and a priority of an application executing on the computing device. The client device determines whether to permit the application to communicate with a remote network accessible device via the network communication hardware based at least on the priority of the application and the power state of the computing device. Also described is a power state service that selects a client device to be provided with a notification based on power states of the client devices.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2016Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Harish Srinivasan, Chris C.

Publication number: 20200127960Abstract: A device analyzes text messages, email, and/or other data for the purposes of suppressing the display of sensitive content on a lock screen. For example, a device may prevent a lock screen from displaying a notification indicating the arrival of a message containing sensitive information. Alternatively, the device may filter any sensitive information from a notification indicating the arrival of a message. The techniques disclosed herein improve the security of a device by preventing the display of sensitive information on a lock screen, while also improving the usability of lock screen notifications by allowing other information to be displayed. The techniques disclosed herein also improve the security of other systems using the device as part of a multi-factor authentication process.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2018Publication date: April 23, 2020Inventors: Jean KHAWAND, Paul Wayne IRWIN

Patent number: 10511931Abstract: The disclosure herein describes receiving wireless signal strength data and detecting movement of a computing device relative to wireless access points based thereon. The computing device receives a signal strength data stream based on a wireless signal from a wireless access point. A signal strength range is determined based on the signal strength data stream during a learning time period while the computing device is within a defined area. The signal strength range indicates that the computing device is within the defined area associated with the wireless access point. During a detection time period, signal strength values outside of the signal strength range are detected and, based on the detected values, a notification is provided that indicates the computing device has moved outside the defined area. The described movement detection method provides rapid detection of movements of a computing device using already-obtained data that does not rely on interaction with other devices.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2018Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jean Khawand, Gianluigi Nusca, Matthew T.

Patent number: 10455536Abstract: Mobile devices are provisionally registered when the mobile device does not have an active subscription profile. A communications session is established with an access network of a mobile communications network. Identification data for the computing device is sent to the access network. A connectivity configuration is used to allow the computing device to establish a limited connection on the mobile communications network. Using the limited connection, an eSIM profile is received. The eSIM profile is activated and the device is connected to an associated mobile network.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2018Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jean Khawand, Anand Muthurajan, John D.

Patent number: 10142923Abstract: Examples of the disclosure enable packet data access to be managed. In some examples, a device is coupled to a wireless network using a first access point name (APN). The wireless network includes a first packet data network (PDN) corresponding to the first APN and a second PDN. A request to couple the device to the wireless network using a second APN corresponding to the second PDN is received. When the device is configured to use a single PDN, a first instruction associated with decoupling the device from the wireless network is transmitted to the first PDN, and a second instruction associated with coupling the device to the wireless network using the second APN is transmitted to the second PDN. Aspects of the disclosure enable controlling or restricting packet data access to manage network resources.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2016Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Mahesh Yadav, Srinivasa L.
