Patent number: 11790165Abstract: A system and method for identifying relevant content from other documents and presenting candidate documents/content in a document authoring application is described. A computer-implemented method includes performing an analysis of text of a document being authored by a user with a document authoring application, searching a document library for content elements and documents based on the analysis of the text, identifying candidate documents and candidate content based on the searching, presenting a list of candidate documents or candidate content with the document authoring application, receiving a selection of a candidate document or candidate content from the list in the document authoring application, and including an instance of the selected candidate document or candidate content in the document.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2021Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Benjamin Gustav Wilde, Ransom Lloyd Richardson, Richard Malcolm Banks, Manoj Sharma, Zeyu Wu, Matthew Stephen Howard, Sudarshan Sundar, Lyndsy Marie Stopa, Yi Zheng, Jacob Lee Sanchez, Aleksandr Polyakov, Jason Peter Campoli, Gregory Alan Howard, Paul Anthony Scudieri

Patent number: 11544644Abstract: A system and method for aggregating and tracking content is described. In one aspect, a computer-implemented method includes forming a consolidated graphical user interface that tracks activities related to a project identifier. The project identifier identifies aggregated content. A project search query is received on the consolidated graphical user interface. The system identifies the project identifier based on the project search query, and presents at least one of a content item, a file, a folder, a user identifier, a user message, a meeting identifier, and a website identifier associated with the project identifier. The system registers selected items with the project identifier with a user of the consolidated graphical user interface, and forms the aggregated content assigned to the project identifier and to the user based on the registered selection.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2021Date of Patent: January 3, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Benjamin Gustav Wilde, Daniel John Niezgocki Chattan, Manoj Sharma, Richard Malcolm Banks, Eva Britta Karolina Burlin, Aleksandr Polyakov, Lyndsy Marie Stopa, Anthony Arnold Wieser

Patent number: 11244100Abstract: Technology is disclosed herein for visualizing changes in documents. In an implementation, one or more computers, employing a change visualization process, maintain a record of changes made to a document over a period of time. The one or more computers identify a document scope within which to focus a visualization of one or more changes made to the document, wherein the document scope comprises a timeframe of interest. The one or more computers also identify, from the record of the changes, one or more changes made to the document within the document scope and surface a visualization of the one or more changes.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2019Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Douglas Lane Milvaney, Benjamin Gustav Wilde, Arthur David Berman, Christopher Ryan Botaish, Joan Catharine Weaver, Lyndsy Marie Stopa

Patent number: 11240320Abstract: A document modification event management system for notification of specific edits made to electronic content items, and a method of determining the relevance of the modification. As an example, a first user may make an edit to a portion of a document. A second user may receive a notification of this edit if the system determines the edit was relevant to the second user. In addition, during review of an electronic content item, a reader may select a specific portion of content and view the modifications that have occurred to only the selected portion. These tools can provide collaborative document users the ability to more readily monitor document development and stay up-to-date with changes that are important to them.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2018Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Douglas Lane Milvaney, Benjamin Gustav Wilde, Joan Catharine Weaver, Christopher Ryan Botaish, Lyndsy Marie Stopa, Arthur David Berman

Patent number: 10929814Abstract: Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for enhancing the awareness of the activity of others in a collaboration group. In an implementation, a contact that identifies a person is displayed in a user interface to an application. A determination is made whether the person is in a collaboration group with a user of the application. If so, a further determination is made whether that person is presently active in a content item in a context other than the present context of the user. When such conditions are satisfied, an indication is surfaced in the user interface that the person is active in the content item.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2019Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Douglas Lane Milvaney, Benjamin Gustav Wilde, Arthur David Berman, Lyndsy Marie Stopa, Christopher Ryan Botaish
