  • Publication number: 20240004836
    Abstract: Files can be located using a durable and universal file identifier. A content URI includes a file protocol URI specifying a path to a file. The file protocol URI includes a query string specifying properties of the file that can be utilized to locate the file, such as an object ID property specifying a GUID for the file and a volume ID property specifying a GUID for a storage volume storing the file. The content URI can be utilized to locate the file using the file protocol URI and its associated query string even if the file has been moved, renamed, or is accessed on a different computing device. Operations can then be performed using the file, such as resuming a previously performed activity that used the file.

  • Publication number: 20230293941
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes, by an electronic device, receiving a digital input indicating a type of movement. Streaming sensor data corresponding to movements of a first user can be accessed from one or more sensors of one or more wearable devices on the first user. Displacement data corresponding to the movements of the first user can be generated based on the streaming sensor data and the indicated type of movement. One or more repetitions represented in one or more corresponding segments of the displacement data can be identified based on the displacement data. The displacement data corresponding to each identified repetition may substantially match a predetermined movement signature associated with the type of movement. One or more performance metrics can be calculated for one or more of the identified repetitions. Instructions can be provided for presenting a user interface including information referencing the performance metrics.

  • Patent number: 11729239
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes accessing real-time content captured by a first user's client device, where the real-time content is captured at a first high quality and is one of a plurality of content frames in a real-time stream of content. The method includes downgrading the quality of the real-time content to a second lower quality for transmission to a second user and transmitting the downgraded content to the second user. The method includes determining, based on a request made by the second user, an area of interest of a subsequent real-time image, where the subsequent real-time image is at the first high quality, modifying the subsequent real-time image to focus on the area of interest, where the modified subsequent real-time image is at the first high quality, and downgrading and transmitting the modified subsequent real-time image for to the second user.

  • Patent number: 11494348
    Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for using object references as a data type. In response to a request for an object reference for an object by a consuming application, the object reference is generated by a source application. The object reference comprises a data structure comprising an activation uniform resource identifier for activating the referenced object, information for visually representing the object reference, and, optionally, metadata that describes the referenced object. The generated object reference is provided to an operating system component by the source application which provides the object reference to a consuming application. The consuming application can display information regard the object reference in accordance with the information for visually representing the object reference included in the object reference. The user can request reactivation of the object referenced by the object reference.

  • Patent number: 10762054
    Abstract: Determination logic for 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. Determination logic for the framework is utilized to make state determinations in dependence upon a defined set of file sync properties. The framework operates to make assessments of the file sync properties and set states for files in accordance with the assessments. In implementations, file sync properties are related to corresponding states through a mapping data structure that maps file sync property values to different states and enables look-ups of states based on property values. The framework utilizes and references the mapping data structure to match file sync properties identified for cloud content files to corresponding states and then set states for the cloud content files accordingly.
