Publication number: 20210256080Abstract: Technology is disclosed for selecting at least one people highlight, with respect to a person of interest, to be shown on one or more user devices. The user device is monitored to determine a user interest in a person of interest. A set of possible people highlights, with respect to the person of interest is determined. A determination is made as to whether any of the possible people highlights should be suppressed and not presented to the user on the user device. Any people highlights that were determined to be people highlights that should be suppressed and not presented are removed to create a remaining set of possible people highlights. At least one of the remaining set of possible people highlights are presented on the user device.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2020Publication date: August 19, 2021Inventors: Lionel Antonio ROBINSON, Vegard Thue BJØRLYKKE, Katrine Øverlie SVELA, Jon MELING, Andreea SANDU, Srinivas Pushkar RAVIPATI, Cem AYKAN, Polijana Andrijana NINCEVIC, Bergljot ENGEN, Matthew Gunter KROE

Publication number: 20180373714Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for electronic communication and file reference association. In an example, a file reference may refer to file content stored by a file service. The file reference may be used to share the file content in an electronic communication among a plurality of users. The file reference may be identified within the electronic communication, and may be used to generate a file node. The file node may store information relating to the file content and/or file reference. A message node associated with the electronic communication may be created, which may be associated with the file node. The file node may later be used to identify electronic communications relating to the file reference. Thus, electronic communications relating to the file reference may be accessible to a user using the file reference or by searching, rather than manually identifying related electronic communications.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2017Publication date: December 27, 2018Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Bjørn ELVHEIM, Vegar PETTERSEN, Erlend JENSEN, Jon MELING, Terje JOHANSEN, Kristian ELSEBØ
