Patent number: 10469622Abstract: Embodiments include processes, systems, and devices for initiating proximity actions upon the activation of a proximity connection. A proximity service receives an indication from a proximity provider that a proximity connection is established, and then determines a joint proximity context of the proximity connection. The proximity service then initiates a proximity action to facilitate a proximity function indicated by the joint proximity context. Joint proximity contexts include indications that an application has queued content to be shared with a proximity device, that an application has registered to publish messages on a namespace, that an application has subscribed to messages on a namespace, that an application has registered to find a peer application on a proximity device to enable multi-user collaboration, and that a device seeks to pair with another device.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2017Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Marc Christopher Pottier, Max Glenn Morris, Travis J. Martin, Michael N. Loholt, Darren R. Davis, Priya Bhushan Dandawate, Kenton A. Shipley, Khurram M. Zia

Patent number: 9572104Abstract: A mobile computing device has an operating system that configures the mobile computing device by defining at least one user session, wherein the at least one user session includes a plurality of contexts, each context of the plurality of contexts having separate bindings of input and output resources, and separately managed applications. For example, a different context can be associated with each display device. The operating system is further configured to receive information about applications executed in the separate contexts, to receive information about environmental conditions of the computer, and, to selectively limit operation of applications in each context according to the environmental conditions and the applications executed in both contexts.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2015Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Elizabeth Threlkeld, Keri Moran, William S.

Publication number: 20140359475Abstract: The techniques and systems described herein present various examples of a settings analytics component which provides for different ways to create a customized control settings panel for a user to modify system or application control settings. For example, in an environment where a user of a computing device with an operating system allows user configuration of system control settings, the settings analytics component may track and store user behaviors in regard to the modification of system control settings. The settings analytics component may then base the creation of a customized control settings panel on the tracked and stored user behaviors in regard to the modification of system control settings.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2013Publication date: December 4, 2014Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Krishna Venkatesh, Andrew Olcott, Ramrajprabu Balasubramanian, Mark Yalovsky, Kenton A.

Publication number: 20050210129Abstract: A system is for use in printing data on a printer. A client interfaces with an applications program that has a print capability. A print server in communication with the client controls a printing of data communicated to the print server by the client. A user interface manager communicates with the print server by an asynchronous bi-directional communications channel between the print server and the client. The user interface manager responds to a user interface message sent from the print server to display information to a user in a flexible custom manner. One exemplary system includes a user display. The message sent to the client user interface manager by the server is a language neutral message that is interpreted by the user interface manager and converted to another representation for presentation to the user on the user display. When used in a printing environment, i.e.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2004Publication date: September 22, 2005Inventors: Jin Feng, Lazar Ivanov, Kenton Shipley, Paul Bartholomew
