Patent number: 10402375Abstract: A cloud content states framework is described herein. In implementations, a framework is configured to perform operations for management of cloud content files at the computing device on behalf of cloud storage providers. The framework is operable to manage states for cloud content files accessible from multiple cloud storage services. The framework also manages and outputs state indicators with file system representations of the cloud content files. The states include at least a set of primary states indicative of synchronization status controlled by the framework. The states may also include custom states associated with cloud storage services that are defined via an interface exposed by the framework. In operation, states associated with cloud content files are recognized in connection with rendering a user interface with cloud content file representations. Then, state indicators that reflect the recognized states are exposed along with cloud content file representations in the user interface.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2016Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Raju Jain, Robert P. St. Pierre, David Ben Perry, Mohammed Amirali Samji, Elizabeth P. Salowitz, Aaron Naoyoshi Sheung Yan Woo, Anshul Rawat, John H. Lueders

Patent number: 9894174Abstract: A content syndication platform, such as a web content syndication platform, manages, organizes and makes available for consumption content that is acquired from the Internet. In at least some embodiments, the platform can acquire and organize web content, and make such content available for consumption by many different types of applications. These applications may or may not necessarily understand the particular syndication format. An application program interface (API) exposes an object model which allows applications and users to easily accomplish many different tasks such as creating, reading, updating, deleting feeds and the like. Further, in at least some embodiments, a user can subscribe to a particular web feed, be provided with a user interface that contains distinct indicia to identify new feeds, and can efficiently consume or read RSS feeds using both an RSS reader and a web browser.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2015Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Amar S. Gandhi, Jane T. Kim, John H. Lueders, Sean Obafemi Lyndersay, Warren G. Stevens, Wayne W Y Choi, William Gould, Bruce A. Morgan

Patent number: 8335942Abstract: Various embodiments provide a guard mechanism that is configured to prevent transmission of synchronous function calls to hung application components. In at least some embodiments, a hang resistance application layer intercepts a synchronous function call that is intended for an application component. Before permitting the synchronous function call to be transmitted to the application component, the hang resistance application layer determines whether the application component is hung by transmitting a message other than the synchronous function call to the application component that requests that a response be received before transmission of the synchronous function call to the application component is permitted. Responsive to determining that the component is hung, a hung component recovery process is initiated.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2012Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Andrew Zeigler, Shawn M. Woods, David M. Ruzyski, John H. Lueders, Jon R. Berry, Daniel James Plaster

Publication number: 20120060110Abstract: Various embodiments provide a notification bar user interface control that is designed to help users maintain focus on their browsing activities, while offering notifications in the form of suggestions. In at least some embodiments, the notification bar user interface control is non-modal and is presented at a location within the browsing field-of-view that is selected to reduce user distraction. Further, in at least some embodiments, the notification bar user interface control is presented in a manner which overlays content of the web page and thus, does not cause layout of the web page to be changed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2010Publication date: March 8, 2012Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Ritika Virmani, Eugene Chang, Martin J.
