Patent number: 11151104Abstract: A method that enables time as data is described herein. The method includes constructing a tree structure, wherein data of the tree structure is a plurality of time intervals, and layers of the tree below a root node comprise identical sibling nodes for layers above a threshold interval length and parent nodes share identical sibling nodes. The method also includes assigning a node identification to each node of the tree structure, wherein each node of the tree structure corresponds to a time interval, and traversing the tree structure to convert a timestamp to a human readable time.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2019Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Peter L. Engrav, Aaron E. Erlandson, Stephen White, Trevor J. Harris, Malia M. Douglas, Rachel Sirkin, Shikha Devesh Desai, Jie Dong, Evan W. Lavender, Christian Harper-Cyr

Patent number: 11120407Abstract: An apparatus for a real-time collaboration in calendar is described herein. The apparatus includes a state change module to receive a change notification at a second calendar client rendering a shared calendar. The apparatus also includes an identification module to retrieve an identification (ID) of calendar content, a change in a user interface state, and an extent of a calendar view from a first data structure. Finally, the apparatus includes a replica module of the second client to retrieve calendar content from a second data structure using the ID as an index value.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2019Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Peter L. Engrav, Aaron E. Erlandson, Trevor J. Harris, Malia M. Douglas, Rachel Sirkin, Caitlin E. Ashley-Rollman, Steven E. Lucco
