Patent number: 11875027Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention analyze a context in which a user interacts with a computer interface and automatically optimizes the interface for the context. The controller or control mode the user selects for interaction may define the context, in part. Examples of control modes include gesturing, audio control, use of companion devices, and use of dedicated control devices, such as game controllers and remote controls. The different input devices are designed for different tasks. Nevertheless, a user will frequently attempt to perform a task using a control input that is not adapted for the task. Embodiments of the present invention change the characteristics of the user interface to make it easier for the user to complete an intended task using the input device of the user's choice.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2019Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Szymon Piotr Stachniak, Kenneth Alan Lobb, Mario Esposito, Clinton Chi-Wen Woon

Patent number: 11154243Abstract: Sensing devices including flexible and stretchable pressure sensors may be associated with or incorporated in garments intended to be worn against a body surface (directly or indirectly), or may be associated with other types of flexible substrates. Systems and methods for storing, communicating, processing, analyzing and displaying data collected by sensor components for remote monitoring of conditions at or near body surfaces are also disclosed. Sensors and sensor systems provide substantially real-time feedback relating to current body conditions and may provide user-specific feedback relating to gait and footwear fit and performance, facilitating improved footwear matching to individual users and improved footwear design and manufacturing, and enabling early intervention when conditions indicate intervention is appropriate.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2016Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Inventors: Mario Esposito, Victoria Esposito, Maurizio Macagno, Davide Giancarlo Vigano′, Maria Pia Carmagnani, Roberto Reif

Publication number: 20170086519Abstract: Sensing devices including pliable e-textile pressure sensors are used in gloves intended to be worn against a user's hand, or a portion of a user's hand. Additional sensors, such as accelerometer(s), gyroscope(s) and geo-referencing sensor(s), may be incorporated in electronic devices that interface electronically with the pressure sensors and are mounted on or in proximity to a glove when in use. Systems and methods for storing, communicating, processing, analyzing and displaying data collected by sensor components for remote monitoring of conditions at hand surfaces, position and orientation data, movement data, and the like, are also disclosed. Sensors and sensor systems provide substantially real-time feedback relating to current body conditions, orientation and movement, and may provide notifications or alerts to users, coaches, etc., enabling early intervention when conditions indicate intervention is appropriate.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 14, 2015Publication date: March 30, 2017Inventors: Davide Giancarlo Vigano', Mario Esposito, Maurizio Macagno, Victoria Ann Esposito, Mauro Giusti, Francesco Pasquale Curra

Publication number: 20150182843Abstract: Methods and systems provide user-specific feedback and recommendations to a user based on a user profile, contextual and/or biometric data, which may be collected using a sensing system, such as a wearable sensor device(s). A host system formulates and provides reports to the user relating to the user's sensed activities or conditions, and may also provide recommendations relating to performance and goal achievement, injury prevention, what/if analysis, gait analysis, shoe purchase suggestions, and the like. Data analysis algorithms may be used to identify similar patterns across large collections of user profiles and biometric data and apply data generated across a larger population to formulate recommendations for specific users.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2014Publication date: July 2, 2015Inventors: Mario ESPOSITO, Maurizio MACAGNO, Davide Giancarlo VIGANO', Mauro M.

Publication number: 20140223381Abstract: An invisible control may be implemented in a client device or in an application of the client device. A user may activate the invisible control by applying a gesture on a predetermined region of the client device or the application. In response to receiving the user gesture, a predetermined action associated with the invisible control may be activated. The predetermined action may be applied to the application or some or all of the content associated with the application. An Application Programming Interface may further be provided to allow the user, an application vendor or a content provider to customize the invisible control or operating modes associated with activation of the invisible control.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2011Publication date: August 7, 2014Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Xuedong Huang, Zheng Chen, Zhimin Zhang, Jian-Tao Sun, Peng Bai, Xiaochuan Ni, Mario Esposito

Publication number: 20140201652Abstract: Described herein is an in-text advertising display that presents web advertisements contextually related to retrieved web content about text on a web page. The text of a web page is analyzed to determine whether terms or phrases are associated with particular contextual definitions called entities. Portions of text associated with an entity are emphasized to the user. Detection of a user trigger event initiates retrieval of additional web content about the emphasized text and the retrieved additional content is displayed in a display window, within a pop-up advertisement, or within a quickbar window. An adjacent seamless window displaying web advertisements related to the additional web content is also presented to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2014Publication date: July 17, 2014Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Mario Esposito, Ehr-Chun Yeh
