Patent number: 10491549Abstract: A single communication application can display an initial modality view associated with the group communication on a canvas of a communication application user interface. The initial modality view can be one of multiple available views. The single communication application can receive a selection to display a different from the initial modality view. Each active user in the group communication can be on a different computing device with different active instances of the single communication application which are each configured to switch independently of each other active instances of the single communication application running on different computing devices to modality views that are different from the initial modality view. The communication application can display the selected modality view on the canvas by transitioning from the initial modality view.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2018Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technologicy Licensing, LLCInventors: Nathan Gunderson, Alexander Darrow, Zhaoqing Ma, Punit Java, Christina Marie Meyer, Steve Chang, Leslie Cindy Chen, Eric Hamilton, Marcelo Truffat

Patent number: 10009298Abstract: A communication application displays a modality view that may be one of a collaboration, a gallery, or a messaging view on a conversation canvas. The application may display an initial view according a modality selection by the user. A user is enabled to select a next view from the set by providing a user action such as a tap, swipe action, etc. The application dynamically generates the next modality view according to the initial view. Common participants and common contexts are used to configure the next view. Subsequent to configuration, the application displays the next modality view on the conversation canvas by transitioning from the initial view. The application retains session information from the initial view to restore the initial view session if the user selects to return to the initial view.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2015Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Nathan Gunderson, Alexander Darrow, Zhaoqing Ma, Punit Java, Christina Marie Meyer, Steve Chang, Leslie Cindy Chen, Eric Hamilton, Marcelo Truffat

Publication number: 20140074909Abstract: A communication application displays a conversation navigation bar to manage conversations. The application inserts an interactive tile into the navigation bar for each conversation. Each tile presents status information about the conversation and the modality of the conversation. Tiles are ordered according to activity and updates. The navigation bar is adjustable to accommodate hardware and software limitations of a platform.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2012Publication date: March 13, 2014Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Nathan Gunderson, Russell Alexander, James Andrew Canitz, Kris Durgin, Christina Marie Meyer, Joshua Hinds, Leslie Cindy Chen, Eric Hamilton, Marcelo Truffat

Publication number: 20040002943Abstract: A system management framework is described for application delivery and configuration management of mobile devices. The framework includes a management server and a mobile computing device. The management server is configured to communicate download instructions for purposes of configuration management of mobile computing devices. The mobile computing device is configured to connect to the management server over a non-persistent connection. The mobile computing device requests download instructions from the management server to determine any offerings that may be available for download and installation by the mobile computing device. Any offerings presented by the management server represent one or more files that have been made available since a last successful download operation conducted by the mobile computing device. The mobile computing device allows a user to accept or reject download and installation of any one or more of the offerings.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2002Publication date: January 1, 2004Inventors: John Wickens Lamb Merrill, Eric Lawrence Albert Lantz, Luis E.
