Patent number: 10705707Abstract: A user interface element is displayed for in place editing of values within a document. For example, in response to selecting a value, a user interface is displayed near the value that receives a slide gesture for adjusting the value in place. The user interface may be configured to select one of the discrete parts of the value in response to changing a level of the slide gesture. For example, a user may move the swipe gesture from a level used for adjusting the day value to the level representing the year value. The user interface displayed and method(s) used to adjust the value may be based on the type of value and the structure and content of the document.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2018Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Benjamin Edward Rampson, Karen Xiaoxu Cheng

Patent number: 9395864Abstract: Animation for the expansion and collapse of content in a user interface may be provided. The user interface may be displayed by a computer and may contain a content surface for editing content. The content may include a top data row and data items in rows below the top data row on the content surface. The computer may then receive an input to expand/collapse the data items into the top data row. The computer may then animate a display of the data items expanding/collapsing into the top data row. Animation for the sorting of content in a user interface may also be provided. The user interface may be displayed by a computer and may contain a content surface for editing a plurality of rows containing content. The computer may then receive a request to sort the content. The computer may then animate a sort of the content.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2011Date of Patent: July 19, 2016Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Josh Leong, Christopher D.
