Patent number: 11003314Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and software for implementing enhanced menu presentation technology. In at least one implementation, a user interface to a personal information service is presented by a suitable computing system. The user interface includes a viewing pane and an information panel in which various personal information items may be organized. In response to a selection of any of the personal information items for viewing, content associated with the item is presented in the viewing pane. In addition, in response to an identification of an action group that includes multiple ones of the personal information items, an action menu is presented in at least a portion of a space in the user interface occupied by the viewing pane.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2016Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Kutlay Topatan, Poonam G.

Patent number: 10262080Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for implementing enhanced search suggestion technology. In at least one implementation, a personal information application includes a search suggestion element in which both search suggestions and contacts suggestions may be presented. The personal information application includes a search element in a user interface to a personal information service in which a search query may be entered. Search suggestions and contact suggestions can be identified based at least in part on the search query and presented via a suggestion element in the user interface. An indication of interest made with respect to a contact suggestion results in the presentation of contact details for an associated contact. The presentation of at least the search suggestions persists while the contact details of the associated contact are presented.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2016Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Kutlay Topatan, Irum Iqbal Godil, Andrew G.

Patent number: 9098556Abstract: Tools and techniques for indexing and searching dynamically changing search corpora are provided. These tools may receive requests to upload documents over a network to an online document repository, and present a user interface to facilitate the upload. The user interface may include devices that are responsive to user activation to grant permission to at least one other user to search for content contained within the documents. Through the user interface, these tools may receive selections from the user related to granting the permission, with the documents being associated with share parameters that incorporate the user selections. Finally, the tools may receive identifications of the documents to be uploaded.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2013Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Kutlay Topatan, Zhifeng Wang, Rudra Raj Mitra, Michal Mieczyslaw Malinowski, Weiye Zhang

Publication number: 20140344250Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for implementing enhanced search refinement. In at least one implementation, a search is initiated of information items in a personal information database based. The search may be performed based on, for example, a search query received through a user interface to a personal information service. Search results are presented via the user interface, as well as various suggested refiners with which to refine the search. Prior to refining the search results, at least more than one of the suggested refiners may be selected or otherwise indicated as of interest. The search results are then refined using the selected refiners and the refined results presented through the user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2013Publication date: November 20, 2014Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Kutlay Topatan, Irum Iqbal Godil, Selvaraj Nalliah
