Patent number: 8391935Abstract: A mobile device is configured to operate in at least three modes that provide increased functionality, increased power consumption, and/or increased user input/output. In one example, the mobile device includes a first mode where some electrical components are powered down, and a secondary display may provide some information to a user. In a second mode, a primary display is energized and an audio mode is initially activated. A third mode provides full or nearly full functionality and/or user input/output.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2009Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Marianna Wickman, William D.

Patent number: 8023975Abstract: A secondary display system on a mobile device to allow a user to check the status of mobile device services without having to turn on or otherwise rely upon the primary display of the mobile device. The secondary display presents a count of messages that are waiting to be accessed by the mobile device user. When a new message is received for the user, a summary of the message is displayed to the mobile device user. When a user accesses one of the waiting messages, the count of unopened messages is decremented. The secondary display system may perform queue management to ensure that only counts of recently received messages are displayed. The secondary display system may offer different status modes to highlight the status of different mobile device services or states. The secondary display system may also allow a user to respond to a received message in a limited manner.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2009Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Marianna Wickman, Feridoon Malekzadeh, Valerie Goulart, Jennifer Sadler

Patent number: 7661074Abstract: Improved keyboard accelerators are provided for executing functionalities of a software application utilizing text-based and non text-based buttons or controls. Upon selection of a prescribed keyboard accelerator initiation key, for example, the “Alt” key, a keyboard accelerator key tip in the form of a small window is displayed over the functionality buttons or controls displayed in a deployed user interface. Each key tip is labeled with one or more text characters for informing a user as to a secondary keyboard selection that must be made to execute the associated functionality.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2005Date of Patent: February 9, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jennifer Sadler, Jensen M.

Patent number: 7590939Abstract: Slide presentation files may be separated into one or more individual slide files, and the one or more individual slide files may be stored in a remote or local slide library. Stored individual slide files are populated with metadata for allowing subsequent search and location of individual slide files. A synchronization relationship may be established between a stored slide file and a copy of the stored slide file used in a slide presentation document. As updates are made to the stored slide file, a user of a copy of the stored slide file may be informed of and provided changes made to the original slide file via the synchronization relationship.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2005Date of Patent: September 15, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Chaitanya Dev Sareen, Clara Graham, Erin Megan Riley, Jennifer Sadler, Kent Rogers Lowry, Louisa Chi Yan Lee, Ravishankar Shanmugam, Sean Erik McAteer, Scott M.

Publication number: 20060129931Abstract: An integrated help content viewer (user interface) is provided that gives a consistent user interface across multiple applications and that smoothly transitions between offline and online help content sources. A single client-side help content viewer is provided that is displayed over or adjacent to a given application user interface (e.g., word processor work space) for allowing a query of offline or online help content associated with a given topic. The help content viewer may be pinned to a user interface associated with a given application so that the help content viewer remains in a position above the user interface even if a user interface of a different application is launched.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2004Publication date: June 15, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Nicholas Simons, John Beswetherick, Irfaan Chaudhry, Tracy Ferrier, Matthew Gauthier, Stephen Kincaid, Eric Lawrence, Kent Lowry, Jennifer Sadler, Joel Wiljanen
