Patent number: 11340769Abstract: Inline document collaboration workflows are provided. When a user receives an electronic communication that includes an attached content item, the receiving user may select the attached content item and cause the attached content item to be displayed in an immersive view in proximity to an electronic communication pane in which an electronic communication may be conducted about any topic including the content item that is displayed in proximity to the electronic communication pane. During editing of a content item, an electronic communication may be generated from a user interface in which the content item is being generated, or alternatively a new content item may be generated out of an electronic communications user interface.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2014Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Joseph Masterson, Jeremy de Souza, Jin Ma, Elena Catrinescu, Nathan Waddoups, Kenneth Fern, David Paul Limont, David Lloyd Meyers, Jr., Michael B.

Patent number: 10917370Abstract: Electronic communication-based storage of content items to support multiple workflows is provided. When an attached content item is received with an electronic communication, a receiving user may select the attached content item for review and editing in an immersive view pane that may be launched adjacent to or in proximity to an electronic mail viewing pane. When the received content item is edited, a copy of the edited content item is temporarily stored with the electronic communication with which the content item was received at an associated electronic communication server. When the receiving user then desires to dispose of the edited content item, for example, by replying back to the sending user with the edited content item as an attachment, the edited content item may be retrieved from the electronic communication server automatically for attachment to the responsive communication.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2019Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Joseph Masterson, Jeremy de Souza, Nathan Waddoups, Russell L.

Patent number: 10698591Abstract: An adaptive layout and workflow engine. The adaptive layout and workflow engine allows various applications to dynamically render scaled views of content based on the characteristics of the display on the device being used to consume the content. The adaptive layout and workflow engine may select an appropriate view of the content to render based on the size, resolution, or aspect ratio of the display. The rendered size of the content and/or the user interface of the content application is evaluated relative to the characteristics of the display. Embodiments may provide different controls via the user interfaces based on the characteristics of the display and/or content. The adaptive layout and workflow engine may provide customized work flows via the user interface to improve the user experience depending on the display capabilities of the device used to consume the content.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2014Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Joseph Masterson, Jeremy de Souza, Jin Ma, Elena Catrinescu, Nathan Waddoups, Kenneth Fern, David Lloyd Meyers, Jr., David Paul Limont, Michael B.

Patent number: 10511579Abstract: A method for confidential electronic communication between a sender workstation and a receiver workstation is provided, whereby privacy is guaranteed for the electronic communications transmitted over the public Internet. The method of confidential communication is equipped with message tracking and message receipt verification. The system for implementing the method includes a sender server that creates a session content encryption key along with a message envelope that includes a content encryption key encrypted message and a confidential mail token. The content encryption key is stored securely inside the sender organization's system which transmits the message envelope to an intended recipient. The intended recipient processes the message envelope in order to generate a message receipt verification, which is transmitted to the sender. The message receipt verification is processed by the sender server to verify that the message envelope reached the intended recipient.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2017Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Trevor W. Freeman, Mayank Mehta, Jeremy de Souza, Jeffrey B. Kay

Patent number: 8880620Abstract: Architecture that enables data handling according to types of social relationships. A social graph is used to categorize the types of the social relationships of the tagged messaging users. The social graph can include social relationship categories for friends, family, coworkers, and blocked individuals of the recipient, for example. The social graph can also include metadata related to the tagged users. The metadata defines the social relationship of the tagged users to the recipient. Delivery of messages to the recipient from the tagged messaging users is managed based on the social graph. Delivery management can include blocking messages, allowing the messages through, or delivering the messages with high or low priority, for example. Email messages can be delivered to respective email locations based on the social graph. User information can be imported and/or mined from external sources to augment the social graph.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2009Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jeremy de Souza, Charlie R. Chung, Wilbert De Graaf, Shubhankar Sanyal

Patent number: 8745144Abstract: Multiple contacts are aggregated through contact linking into a unified profile view addressing conflicting data, duplicates, etc. By persisting contact information in a server-maintained mailbox that is used as a storage model and as the contact linking system, roaming solution across form factors (mobile, slate, PC, etc.) can be provided with higher accuracy and fewer false positives. By centralizing the solution in the mailbox, redundancy and manual work by the user is substantially reduced. Contact data, communication heuristics, corporate directory meta-data, instant messaging data, etc. can be leveraged in linking contacts.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2011Date of Patent: June 3, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jeremy de Souza, Mayerber Carvalho Neto

Publication number: 20130097124Abstract: A communication application automatically aggregates contact information. The communication application classifies contact information retrieved from data sources as either duplicate or complimentary contact information to a contact. The communication application aggregates the contact information and the contact into a unified contact object by eliminating the duplicate contact information and adding the complimentary contact information. The application presents the unified contact object through a user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2011Publication date: April 18, 2013Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Jeremy de Souza, Mayerber Carvalho Neto, Komal Kashiramka, Ladislau Conceicao, Gustavo Andrade, Kumarswamy Valegerepura, Brendan Fields, Maithili Dandige, Song Yue Yu, Narendranath Thadkal, Govind Varshney, Chris Gallagher
