Patent number: 10011206Abstract: A simply structured vehicle seat with reduced number of parts includes a cap for covering an anchor storage recess which stores an anchor to be engaged with an engagement member attached to a child seat. The anchor storage recess includes a side part and a bottom part. A cap is provided for covering the anchor storage recess, and includes a flange part, a main body part, and a slit. The main body part has a dimension larger than an inner dimension of the side part of the anchor storage recess. The cap is detachably fitted with the anchor storage recess by engagement between the anchor and the slit and pressure contact between the side part of the anchor storage recess and the main body part of the cap, when the main body of the cap is inserted along the side part into the anchor storage recess.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2017Date of Patent: July 3, 2018Assignees: TACHI-S CO., LTD., HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Hiroyuki Fujii, Jonathan Garcia, Kengo Kataoka, Makoto Nomura, Kazuhisa Nishimura, Kanae Tsukidate

Patent number: 9579567Abstract: Example methods manage data that relates a user to a player slot and to a game controller. One example method operates in a multi-user computer environment that includes a game console and a game controller. The method may establish a first mapping and a second mapping for a game running on the console. The first mapping relates a generic player position to a user profile and the second mapping relates the user profile with a game controller. The mappings rely on mapping data provided to the game through a user interface available during the game. The method controls the game, as a function of the first mapping and the second mapping, to manage controller pairings to attribute actions performed at a controller with a currently mapped user profile and then to a player slot. Controller pairings may be managed while the game is in progress without interrupting a game experience.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2013Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Jonathan Garcia, Matt Bielich

Patent number: 9384013Abstract: Example apparatus and methods concern controlling context associations while maintaining a user experience. A memory stores information concerning a context associated with a shared launch surface in a multi-user system running on an apparatus. The memory also stores information concerning a second context associated with an application launched from the shared launch surface and running on the apparatus. Example apparatus and methods provide a launch surface context interface and an application context interface. The interfaces present information that facilitates changing launch surface ownership or application context while maintaining a user experience. For example, logic may selectively control a launch surface context association as a function of data provided by the launch surface context interface and may control an application context association as a function of data provided by the application context interface.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2013Date of Patent: July 5, 2016Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Robert Smith, Matt Bielich, Jonathan Garcia, Joseph Wyman

Patent number: 9129478Abstract: Example apparatus and methods concern attributing user actions based on biometric identifications. One example method includes detecting an action intended to control an application associated with a shared launch surface. The method includes associating the action with a body located in a field of view of a biometric sensor associated with a shared launch surface. Data from the biometric sensor is used to determine a biometric identity for the body and then the action is attributed to a user as a function of the biometric identity. A context associated with the user is accessed and an operation associated with the action is selectively controlled based on the context.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2013Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Inventors: Robert Smith, Li-Chen Miller, Joseph Wyman, Jonathan Garcia, Pat Halvorsen, Jason Giles

Publication number: 20110252011Abstract: A system is described for integrating a search engine and one or more social network resources. The system operates by determining whether a search operation being conducted by a user warrants interaction with a social network resource. If so, the system may provide an invitation to the user to forward a query-related message to the social network resource. The system then sends the message to a group of contacts via the social network resource, where the group of contacts can be defined in various ways. The system receives a response from at least one contact in the group of contacts and presents that response to the user using various delivery mechanisms, as governed by various delivery timings.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2010Publication date: October 13, 2011Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Meredith J.
