Patent number: 9523758Abstract: A first user device transmits a first signal, and a second user device transmits a second signal. A processing unit receives the first signal and the second signal. The processing unit identifies the first user device as an active target and the second user device as an active tracking device based on a predefined rule set including a plurality of selection criteria.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2012Date of Patent: December 20, 2016Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Benjamin Alan Stensland, Kevin Luke Mace, David Mark McClelland

Publication number: 20150046540Abstract: A conference management system is described for administering large numbers of conferences in an organization. The conference management system receives a hierarchical set of categories from a system administrator and configuration settings for each category. When a user requests to create a new conference, the conference management system creates the conference and assigns the new conference to a category. The conference takes on the settings of the category to which it belongs, which eliminates individual configuration of each conference. Administrators can also delegate authority to manage conferences to others in the organization.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2014Publication date: February 12, 2015Inventors: Robert Serr, Scott Huddleston, Jason Bubolz, Mark McClelland, Mark Madsen

Patent number: 8930828Abstract: Technologies are described herein for distinguishing between conference participants associated with different groups. A communication is received from a participant during a conference. The participant's group affiliation is determined and a representation attribute corresponding to the group is used to render the communication within the conference. As a result, the communications from participants of like groups are displayed with like representation attributes to visually distinguish the communications according to group affiliations. An administrator may designate the representation attributes so that all of the communications from participants of the same group are similarly distinguished without action from the participants. Participants may filter the communications as desired according to the groups and corresponding representation attributes.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2008Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Robert Serr, Scott Alan Huddleston, Mark McClelland, Mark Timothy Madsen, Allyson Straka

Patent number: 8438225Abstract: Users are enabled to traverse seamlessly between electronic mail and real time communications such as text messaging, group chats, and similar forms. A context of communications such as a history of the email exchange, attached or related documents, links, trail of exchanged text messages, and comparable information is used to automatically determine addressees for the communication form after the traverse and to provide context information.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2009Date of Patent: May 7, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Robert W. Serr, Amit Gupta, Mark McClelland, Scott Huddleston, Santhosh Misro
