Patent number: 11068132Abstract: An improved user interface is provided for displaying selectable software functionality controls and for presenting logical groupings of particular functionality controls associated with a selected top-level functionality. Underneath a row of top-level functionality tabs, functionalities controls associated with a given top-level functionality tab are presented in logical groupings. Selection of a particular tab switches modes of the user interface to present controls for functionalities associated with the selected tab.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2019Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jensen M. Harris, Aaron M. Butcher, David A. Morton, Jesse Clay Satterfield, Justin Denney

Patent number: 11023103Abstract: An improved user interface is provided for displaying selectable software functionality controls that are relevant to a selected object and that remain visibly available for use while the selected object is being edited. Upon selection of a particular object for editing, functionality available for editing the object is presented in a ribbon-shaped user interface above the software application workspace to allow the user ready and efficient access to functionality needed for editing the selected object. The display of relevant functionality controls is persisted until the user dismisses the display, selects another top-level functionality control or selects another object for editing.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2020Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Jesse Clay Satterfield, Aaron M. Butcher, David A. Morton, Jensen M. Harris, Justin Denney
