Patent number: 10097619Abstract: Techniques for cross-device notifications are provided. An example method includes receiving a first indication of an event detected at a first device associated with a user account, determining one or more characteristics of the event based on the first indication of the event, detecting whether the determined characteristics match at least one selection criterion, automatically identifying a second device from one or more devices associated with the user account, and providing, if the determined characteristics match the at least one selection criterion, the first indication of the event to the second device associated with the user account, where the provided first indication of the event is displayed at the second device to allow management of the event at the first device from the second device.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2015Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Michael Campbell Koss, Justin DeWitt, Katie Jane Messerly, Dmitry Titov

Patent number: 9952882Abstract: Methods, systems, and machine-readable media include identifying a plurality of task items associated with a user. The plurality of task items includes a plurality of task types. They also include selecting a subset of the plurality of task items based on user activity information. The subset of task items includes at least two different task types. They also include providing a launcher user interface for display to the user on a computing device. The launcher user interface includes a plurality of elements corresponding to the selected subset of task items arranged on a single surface. The plurality of elements is selectable to launch respective applications associated with the corresponding task items.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2014Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Alexander Friedrich Kuscher, Katie Jane Messerly, Jennifer Shien-Ming Chen

Publication number: 20160117082Abstract: Methods for providing a launcher interface for task items selected based on user activity are provided. In one aspect, a method includes identifying a plurality of task items associated with a user. The plurality of task items includes a plurality of task types. The method also includes selecting a subset of the plurality of task items based on user activity information. The subset of task items includes at least no different task types. The method also includes providing a launcher user interface for display to the user on a computing device. The launcher user interface includes a plurality of elements corresponding to the selected subset of task items arranged on a single surface. The plurality of elements is selectable to launch respective applications associated with the corresponding task items. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2014Publication date: April 28, 2016Inventors: Alexander Friedrich KUSCHER, Katie Jane Messerly, Jennifer Shien-Ming Chen

Patent number: 8583664Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed that relate to exposing metadata relationships through filter interplay. One embodiment provides a method comprising filtering a collection of items according to a first and a second metadata category to form an original subset of items that comprise metadata values for each of the categories. The method further comprises displaying a first and a second interactive filter view illustrating the original subset arranged according to their respective metadata values. The method further comprises receiving user input modifying an original range of metadata values of the first metadata category to form a modified range, determining a modified subset of items that comprise metadata values of the first metadata category falling within the modified range and that also comprise metadata values of the second metadata category, and modifying the second interactive filter view to illustrate the modified subset.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2010Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jeffrey Weir, Alex Weinstein, Charles Cummins, Alex Ingerman, Timothy R. Sullivan, Katie Jane Messerly, Daniel Tomko, Andrew B. Rothbart

Patent number: 7992104Abstract: A processing device and method may be provided for displaying a graph, including a number of icons. The icons may be thumbnail images of data elements of a data set. A position of the icons may indicate one or more attribute values of an associated set of attributes. A zooming-in operation may cause at least a portion of the displayed graph to be enlarged, such that at least some of the icons may be presented as enlarged, higher-resolution images. A zooming-out operation may cause the presented enlarged images to be reduced in size and presented in a context of the displayed graph. The enlarged images may include at least one selectable link. In some embodiments, when a displayed image, corresponding to an icon, is enlarged beyond a predetermined amount, the displayed image may be replaced by a corresponding data element of the data set.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2007Date of Patent: August 2, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jeffrey Jon Weir, Karim Taji Farouki, Katie Jane Messerly
