Patent number: 10200328Abstract: Systems, methods, and software disclosed herein facilitate draft reminders. In at least one implementation, a primary view of an information management application is rendered. In various scenarios the primary view may include primary items, such as emails, events, tasks, or other types of items. When a reminder view is invoked, draft items are identified to include in the reminder view. The reminder view is then rendered in an overlaid manner with respect to the primary view and includes the draft items.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2013Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Eva Britta Karolina Burlin, Chao-Chung Lin, David Claux, Kristian Lennart Magnus Andaker, Jason Todd Henderson, Russell Lee Simpson, Jr., Jasdeep Singh Chugh, Joseph P.

Patent number: 10154385Abstract: In implementations of creating a communication group, a mobile device can receive a selection to enable communication of location information between devices that correspond to entities from a group of entities associated with a user of the mobile device. The mobile device can receive location information that describes a physical location or proximity of the devices that correspond to the entities, and present in a user interface on a display device, a visual representation that indicates at least one of the entities is at a location within a pre-set distance of the mobile device. A communication group can be created that includes the entities selected from the group of entities associated with the user of the mobile device. The mobile device can also communicate the location information of the mobile device to all of the devices that correspond to the entities as a group communication based on the communication group.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2017Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Darren Alexander Apfel, Jonathan David Friedman, Keith Lindsey Rowe, Rosanna H. Ho, Sandra I. Vargas, Peter Andrew Bernard, Matthew Justin Von Bencke

Patent number: 9703452Abstract: A mobile communications device user interface is described. In an implementation, a method is implemented by a computing device that includes displaying content in conjunction with a first level of a hierarchical menu in a user interface on a display device of the computing device. Responsive to receipt of an input to navigate to a second level of the hierarchical menu that is a sublevel of the first level, the second level in displayed conjunction with the content on the display device, the content having a reduced display richness when displayed in conjunction with the second level than when displayed in conjunction with the first level.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2015Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Michael J. Kruzeniski, Michael A. Smuga, Michael K. Henderlight, Brian M. Wilson, Chad A. Voss, Paula Guntaur, Jonathan David Friedman, Patrick S. Corrigan, Dustin Owen Williams, Joseph P. McLaughlin, Ryan T.

Patent number: 9578468Abstract: This document describes tools capable of enabling users of mobile communication devices to create communication groups quickly and easily. With such a communication group a user may call, text, or instant message all persons in the group at once by selecting the communication group rather than each person in the group. In one embodiment, the tools enable a user to build a communication group by dragging and dropping indicators for persons he or she knows from one area of a screen into another area. In another embodiment, the tools automatically collect persons from those that the user knows based on one or more criteria. The user may then easily create a communication group of those collected persons, such as by tapping on an area of a mobile device's display.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2014Date of Patent: February 21, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Darren Alexander Apfel, Jonathan David Friedman, Keith Lindsey Rowe, Rosanna H.

Publication number: 20160360024Abstract: Mobile communications devices are described. In an implementation, a mobile communications device includes a first housing that is approximately square and that includes a display device. The mobile communications device also includes a second housing that is approximately square, includes a keyboard and is rotatable with respect to the first housing at respective corners of the first and second housing. The second housing is rotatable with respect to the first housing between a first configuration in which the first housing substantially covers the second housing such that the keyboard is covered and a second configuration in which the keyboard is exposed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2016Publication date: December 8, 2016Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jonathan David Friedman, Lucas G. Williams

Publication number: 20140282191Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for facilitating enhanced calendar views. In an implementation, an initial range in a series of calendar units is presented in a calendar view. An initial calendar perspective associated with an initial position established within the initial range is also presented. Responsive to a user input, a navigation effect is presented with respect to the series of calendar units comprising navigating from the initial range to a subsequent range in the series of calendar units.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2013Publication date: September 18, 2014Inventors: Jason A.

Publication number: 20140282248Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and software for facilitating enhanced views of information management applications. In an implementation, a suitable computing system or systems presents a link to a dynamic menu within a perspective of an active module of various modules in an information management application. In response to an indication of interest generated with respect to the link, the computing system presents the dynamic menu which includes various dynamic icons. Each of the icons provides update information and a link associated with a corresponding module of the various modules in the information management application.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2013Publication date: September 18, 2014Inventors: Brendan J. Reeves, Jason A. Cook, Kenneth Fern, Michael Anthony Faoro, Joseph P. McLaughlin, Jonathan David Friedman, Jasdeep Singh Chugh

Publication number: 20080172715Abstract: A portable processing device or system may permit a user to access a resource when a certain number of keys are present, according to an authentication policy and a context in which the certain number of keys are provided. In some contexts fewer or no keys may be required, while in other contexts more keys may be required. The authentication policy may be adaptable, such that a precautionary action may be taken when a previously unused combination of keys and a context are used. Further, the authentication policy may require a fewer number of keys close to a time of a last successful authentication and may require a larger number of keys as time passes since the last successful authentication. In some embodiments, a type of visual feedback of entered password text may change based on a security level.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 12, 2007Publication date: July 17, 2008Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Avi Rom Geiger, Brian Meredith Wilson, Jonathan David Friedman, Arnold Milton Lund, Kanchen Rajanna
