Patent number: 9053462Abstract: The system and method of the present invention provides a user interface for providing peripheral awareness of information to a user. The information to be provided is either determined automatically, or specified by the user. Once the information to be provided is determined or specified, it is automatically tracked or watched via at least one conventional communications interface. Current information is then automatically dynamically provided in an interactive peripheral display which minimizes any potential distraction to the user. Determining or specifying, tracking or watching, and providing the information is accomplished using at least one customizable dynamic encapsulated object, a “ticket,” that when paired with a “viewer,” provides peripheral awareness of information to the user. Further, in one embodiment, the tickets are sharable among users, and may be copied, cut, pasted, saved, transmitted, dragged and dropped from web pages, etc., like any other electronic file using conventional techniques.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2007Date of Patent: June 9, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jonathan J. Cadiz, Anoop Gupta, Gavin Jancke, Gina Venolia

Patent number: 8428240Abstract: A call forwarding system forwards telephone calls based on presence information of a user as reported by computing devices associated with a telephone number. When a telephone system receives an incoming call directed to one of the telephone numbers of the user's computing devices, it sends an incoming call event to each computing device. Upon receiving the incoming call event from a telephone system, each computing device determines whether the user is most likely present at that computing device based on the presence information. When a computing device determines that the user is most likely present at that computing device, it sends a notification to the telephone system to forward the incoming call to the telephone number associated with that computing device to effect the automatic forwarding of a call based on presence information.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2009Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jonathan J. Cadiz, Amritansh Raghav, Eran Shtiegman, Sira P. Rao, Setty Venkateshaiah

Patent number: 7801954Abstract: A method and system for providing expanded presence information of publishers to subscribers is provided. The presence system receives expanded presence information from a publisher. A client component of the presence system sends the expanded presence information to a presence server of the presence system. Upon receiving the expanded presence information, the presence server stores the expanded presence information in association with the publisher. When the presence server is to provide the presence information of a publisher to subscribers, the presence server identifies the current presence state of the publisher and retrieves the expanded presence information. The presence server then provides the current presence state and the expanded presence information to the subscribers.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2005Date of Patent: September 21, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jonathan J.
