Publication number: 20250238109Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein provide a personalized interactive timeline of user activity graphical user interface (GUI) that enables a personalized search and retrieval user experience. This is accomplished by gathering a record of user activity such as graphical captures (e.g., screenshots) of a desktop environment. A graphical capture can define a software application that is currently in focus within the desktop environment. The graphical captures are then organized into subsets based on the software application that is in focus in each of the graphical captures. The graphical captures are then further organized into sessions which are delineated by substantially continuous user interaction with the corresponding software application. A graphical segment is then generated for each session and subsequently compiled into an interactive timeline. A user can scrub through the timeline to recall previous activity.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2024Publication date: July 24, 2025Inventors: Marisa CANTU, Xiaoli LIU, Yan YAN, Ryan CUPPERNULL, Trent Alan HOPPE, Bret ANDERSON, Yohann PURI, Maxwell XU, Kenneth Martin TUBBS, Jr., Pratik Pankajbhai MISTRI, Albert Peter YIH, Jens Erik JORGENSON, Yash MISRA, Nathan Peter POLLOCK

Patent number: 12118187Abstract: Embodiments described herein are directed to simultaneously displaying proxy windows for application windows and/or tabs included in such application windows via a graphical user interface of an operating system. For instance, an application programming interface (API) associated with an application that supports a tabbed document interface (TDI) provides information associated with each tab opened within an application window associated with the application. An API of the operating system receives and utilizes such information to generate and display a proxy window for each tab. The proxy windows for the tabs may be displayed alongside proxy windows of application windows for other applications. The proxy windows may be generated and displayed in response to user invocation of various features of the operating system graphical user interface, including, but not limited to, a task switcher feature, a taskbar feature, or a window snap feature.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2023Date of Patent: October 15, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Gregory Thomas Mattox, Jr., Ross Nathaniel Luengen, Rose Elizabeth Higgins, William Joseph Devereux, Jessica Mary Hallett-Hook, Laurent Etienne Gilbert Mouton, Kyle Thomas Brady, Kenneth Martin Tubbs, Jr.

Patent number: 11625148Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein enable systems to provide intelligent snap assist recommendations using a diverse set of factors and factor weights. To generate recommendations, a system receives a user input placing a first item in a region of a snapped configuration in a display environment. In response, the system assigns a confidence score for a plurality of items including items open in the display environment as well as items that are not open. The system then ranks the items based on confidence score and selects a list of recommended items from the ranked list. The recommended items are then presented in a second region of the snapped configuration for selection. The system is further configured to receive and analyze user selections of snapped items to learn over time and adjust confidence scoring.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2021Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Amy Elizabeth Kruzick, Peter Joseph Kreiseder, Kenneth Martin Tubbs, Stacy Carson, Upasna Suman
