Publication number: 20170154051Abstract: Systems and methods for generating hashmaps are presented. According to the disclosed subject matter, computer users can identify a geo-location (a real-world geographic location) irrespective and independent of any known entity at the geo-location and associate content with regard to the identified location. The combination of the user-specified location and the corresponding, associated content is a “hashmap.” Additional information may be associated and included with a hashmap, including access restrictions to the hashmap by others, a user identifier of the creator of the hashmap, and a date and time. Users can search for hashmaps related to a particular area by submitting hashmap requests to a hashmap service.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2015Publication date: June 1, 2017Inventors: Chelsea Nicole Mitchell, Romualdo Impas, Mahesh Prakriya, Dvir Horovitz, Samantha Neufeld, Carmen E. Au, Jyotkumar Patel

Patent number: 9563487Abstract: Various embodiments provide an ability to describe, independent of a programming language, one or more interfaces associated with an operating system. Alternately or additionally, a compiler associated with a specific programming language can be configured to map the independent interface description(s) to the specific programming language. In some embodiments, an application can be configured to programmatically determine one or more interfaces of the operating system.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2014Date of Patent: February 7, 2017Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLC.Inventors: Brent E. Rector, Elliot H. Omiya, Jerry J. Dunietz, Martyn S. Lovell, Ales Holecek, Mahesh Prakriya, Stephen C. Rowe, James F. Springfield, Noel R. Cross, Tassaduq H. Basu, Patrick H.

Patent number: 9229790Abstract: Information about the operating system application programming interfaces is stored in a known format in a known location. This information fully describes the APIs exposed by the operating system and is stored in API metadata files. A language compiler or interpreter uses this API information to build a natural and familiar representation of the native system API in the target language. The language compiler or interpreter can read the API information at compile time and/or runtime. The metadata is used to allow an application to refer to named elements in the API. Projections are built that use the metadata to map named elements in the API to named elements in the target language, and to define wrappers that marshal data of those elements between the target representation and the native operating system representation.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2014Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Harold Pierson, Brent Rector, Martyn Lovell, Mahesh Prakriya, Stephen Rowe, Tassaduq Basu, Robert A. Wlodarczyk, Elliot H. Omiya, Jerry Dunietz, Ales Holecek, Lawrence W. Osterman, Wei Zeng, Neeraj Wadhwa, Shakeel Solkar, Michael Aksionkin

Patent number: 9043305Abstract: Various embodiments provide an ability to abstract type resolution between multiple type systems. At least one type can be described in one or more programmatically accessible file(s). In some embodiments, an application using a different type system can programmatically access and resolve a type of the at least one type system without knowledge of a location of where a description of the type resides. Alternately or additionally, type descriptions contained in the one or more programmatically accessible file(s) can be analyzed and restructured into one or more new programmatically accessible file(s) based, at least in part, upon the type descriptions.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2014Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Lawrence W. Osterman, Harold L. Pierson, III, Elliot H. Omiya, Martyn S. Lovell, Mahesh Prakriya, Stephen C. Rowe, Tassaduq H. Basu, Robert A. Wlodarczyk, Wei Zeng, Neeraj N. Wadhwa, Shakeel I.

Publication number: 20130055291Abstract: Native operating system application programming interfaces (API's) are described using metadata and such descriptions are stored in a standard file format in a known location. By storing API definitions using such metadata, other applications can readily identify and use the APIs. To create such API representations, during development, a developer describes the shape of the API, including (but not limited to) the classes, interfaces, methods, properties, events, parameters, structures and enumerated types defined by the API. This API description is processed by a tool which generates a machine-readable metadata file. The machine-readable metadata file contains the same information as the API description, however in a format designed to be machine read rather than human authored.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2011Publication date: February 28, 2013Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Harold Pierson, Brent Rector, Martyn Lovell, Mahesh Prakriya, Stephen Rowe, Tassaduq Basu, Robert A.

Patent number: 7770202Abstract: A host intercepts calls between two executables and determines whether the calls are permissible according to the host's security model which can be identify based, such as user identity based—for instance, mapping access rights within a specific data base user context to database object access. Such an identity security model differs from a common language runtime security model where managed code uses Code Access Security to prevent managed assemblies from performing certain operations. Managed assemblies registered with the host are host objects from the host's perspective for which access rights can be defined via security rules, such as are defined for individual user identities. A host can decide access between managed executables based on the host's identity based access rules by trapping any cross assembly calls and deciding whether such calls should proceed or be blocked from taking place based on the corresponding identity security settings.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2004Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Christopher W. Brumme, Vance Morrison, Sebastian Lange, Gregory D. Fee, Dario Russi, Simon Jeremy Hall, Mahesh Prakriya, Brian F. Sullivan

Patent number: 7685574Abstract: Authored code may include a notification that no tolerance for failure or corruption is expected for an identified sub-set of the code. Any potential failure point, which may be induced by a runtime environment routine or sub-routine, that is associated with the identified sub-set of code may then be identified and hoisted to a point apart from the identified sub-set of code.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2004Date of Patent: March 23, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Christopher W Brumme, Sean E Trowbridge, Rudi Martin, WeiWen Liu, Brian M.

Patent number: 7647629Abstract: A host operating in a managed environment intercepts a call from a managed caller to a particular callee and determines whether the call is permissible according to the host's prior configuration of a plurality of callees. The particular callee, which provides access to a resource that the host can be protecting, can have been previously configured by the host to always allow the call to be made, to never allow the call to be made, or to allow the call to be made based upon the degree to which the host trusts the managed caller.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 2004Date of Patent: January 12, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Christopher W. Brumme, Sebastian Lange, Gregory D. Fee, Michael Gashler, Mahesh Prakriya
