Publication number: 20240013241Abstract: A real-time survey system can monitor real-time event and interaction data generated as a user interacts with an application. Using the event data in combination with static user attributes, the survey system can identify a subset of microsurveys a user is eligible to receive or participate in. Identifying eligibility can include applying one or more filters based on user attributes as well as detecting a triggering event that signals real-time relevance of the survey to the user's actions. If the user is eligible for multiple surveys, the survey system can select a single survey to send to the user. Surveys can be presented to users directly using the real-time survey system instead of via an alternate delivery method, such as email. After collecting survey data, survey system can automatically analyze survey responses, including by performing machine learning based thematic analysis on freeform text responses.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Inventors: Amos Jose Barreto, Kevin Matthew Mandich, Ryan James Glasgow, Christopher Lee Oyler

Patent number: 11494505Abstract: Data associated with a user account is stored at the cloud-based storage service. A portion of the data is associated with a heightened authentication protocol. A request for an application to access data that is associated with the heightened authentication protocol is received at the cloud-based storage service. The request may include an indication that the application is configured to interact with data with the heightened authentication protocol. The request is authenticated based on the heightened authentication protocol. In response to authenticating the first request, permission is granted to the application to access the data that is associated with the heightened authentication protocol. In response receiving requests that do not include the indication that the application is configured to interact with data with the heightened authentication protocol, data pertaining to the portion of the data with the heightened authentication protocol is hidden.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2019Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jyotsana Rathore, Jose A.

Patent number: 11443052Abstract: A system is provided for controlling access to data stored in a cloud-based storage service. Data associated with a user account is stored at the cloud-based storage service. A first request to cause a portion of the data to be associated with a heightened authentication protocol is received. In response, the portion of the data is caused to require the heightened authentication protocol for access. A second request for a file that is stored in the area that is associated with the heightened authentication protocol is received. The second request is authenticated based on the heightened authentication protocol. In response to authenticating the second request, permission is granted to access the file. In response to a failure to authenticate the second request, access to the file is denied, while access to files stored in other areas associated with the user account is allowed.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2019Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Filip C.

Patent number: 11392711Abstract: A system is provided for controlling access to data stored in a cloud-based storage service. A first request is received to access data stored at the cloud-based storage service, the data associated with a user account. The first request is authenticated based on a username and password associated with the user account. A second request is received for a file that is stored in an area associated with a heightened authentication protocol. The heightened authentication protocol is performed to authenticate the second request. In response to authenticating the second request, permission is granted to a temporary strong authentication state. The permission is to access the file that is stored in the area associated with the heightened authentication protocol.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2019Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jyotsana Rathore, Kevin Andrew Chan, Gabriela Kornelia Kaczka, Deepak Sreenivas Pemmaraju, Robert C.

Patent number: 10664170Abstract: Variety of approaches to provide partial storage of large files in distinct storage systems are described. A storage service initiates operations to provide storage of large files by determining a rapid access portion and a slow access portion of a file. The rapid access portion of the file is stored in a rapid access storage system and the slow access portion of the file (or an entirety of the file) is stored in a slow access storage system. In response to an access request to the file, the rapid access portion of the file is provided from the rapid access storage system. Next, the slow access portion of the file is retrieved from the slow access storage system to be provided while providing the rapid access portion of the file.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2016Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Andrew K.
