Patent number: 8230032Abstract: A workflow manager application transfers message data received from an originating device via a communication network to a target application for processing. A graphical user interface displays the received message data and allows the user to view and designate one or more target applications for processing the message data. The workflow manger application is responsive to user input to transfer message data to the designated one or more target applications for processing the message data. Alternatively, the workflow manager application analyzes received message data to identify one or more target applications, and transfers the message data to the identified one or more target applications for processing.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2011Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Malcolm Erik Pearson, Leon R.

Patent number: 8077699Abstract: Multiple independent MTAs transmit messages such that if one of the MTAs fails, the other MTAs may continue to transmit messages. Multiple independent message stores are provided such that if one of the message stores fails, messages on the other message stores may continue to be transmitted. Multiple notification agents monitor the message stores for new messages and notify one of the MTAs when a new message is available for transmission.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2005Date of Patent: December 13, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Malcolm Erik Pearson, Bruce A. McMillan, Leon R. Warman, Loren T. Curtis

Patent number: 7516480Abstract: The present invention allows for remotely and securely configuring settings for targeted devices within a network with multiple security-trust boundaries. Configuration information is encoded in messages that are digitally signed to ensure the integrity of the configuration information and sent in accordance with a standard messaging transport protocol. By utilizing an already existing port of the standard messaging transport protocol, e.g., SMTP, the number of open ports for configuration purposes is minimized. Further, example embodiments take advantage of hidden fields, i.e., machine readable fields that contain metadata that by default are not presented at a client user interface, for encoding the configuration or command/control information within the messages.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2004Date of Patent: April 7, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Malcolm E. Pearson, Leon R. Warman, Robert G. Atkinson, David R. Reed, Steven D. White, Bradford R. Clark
