Patent number: 10733367Abstract: Embodiments are provided that include the use of an underlying grid structure as part of managing table operations and/or animation visualizations, but are not so limited. A method of an embodiment uses an underlying grid structure as part of an animation control reference or guide to provide table visualizations for display, including using one or more table borders and aspects of a reference grid column or row as part of controlling table features. A system of one embodiment includes a table manager to manage table actions and a grid manager to manage an underlying grid structure based in part on associated table actions and/or animations. Other embodiments are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2016Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Caitlin Ashley-Rollman, Malia Douglas, Jessica Arwen Best

Patent number: 9442649Abstract: An object is zoomed upon selection. A scaling factor is calculated for zooming the object based on current viewing properties of a document and properties of the object as well as the current size of the application window and device. The scaling factor to zoom the object is calculated such that after the object is zoomed, viewing the object is similar to a viewing experience for the rest of the document. Text of the document may be displayed to increase the readability of the document. For example, the text may be displayed such that each line of displayed text averages out to a predetermined number of characters (e.g. 50-75 characters) per line. A display size and width of an average character are determined and used to calculate how many columns of text to display within the display. When the zoom level of the text changes, the text is redisplayed.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2011Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Tristan Davis, Ali Taleghani, Joseph Wai-Yan Woo, Edgar Mark Sunderland, Jessica Arwen Best, Michelle E.

Publication number: 20130111333Abstract: Objects are scaled by scaling properties that affect a physical layout of the object. A scaling factor is determined and each of the determined properties for an object are scaled based on the scaling factor. For example, when scaling a table, properties such as width, height, border widths, padding, text spacing, margins, indents, font size, cells, columns, and the like, may be scaled based on the scaling factor. Determined properties of any objects that are contained within an object are also scaled based on the scaling factor. The scaling process is repeated for each object that is contained within an object. After scaling, a user may still interact with the object in the same manner as before scaling. One or more ranges may be selected within a document where scaling is desired that include all/portion of the document.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2011Publication date: May 2, 2013Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Ali Taleghani, Jessica Arwen Best, Tristan Davis, Victor Kozyrev, Sergey Genkin
