Patent number: 8412836Abstract: A computing device provides an application that uses multiple protocol stacks to communicate with a server. The server requires messages from each of the protocol stacks to include a credential for a user of the computing device. The credential is a set of information that includes identification and proof of identities that is used to gain access to a resource. However, the user is not prompted for the credential more than once. In some embodiments, this is accomplished by storing the credential at the computing device for retrieval by the protocol stacks when the application uses the protocol stacks to communicate with the server.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2010Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Balaji Balasubramanyan, Miko Arnab Sakhya Singha Bose

Patent number: 8407530Abstract: An application attempts to use a first protocol stack to send a first message to a server. After attempting to send the first message to the server, the application attempts to use a second protocol stack to send a second message to the server. After attempting to send the second message to the server, the application performs a timeout activity before a timeout period for the second message expires when the first message timed out. Alternatively, when the timeout period for the second message expires and the first message did not time out, the application performs the timeout activity. When the client device received a response to the second message from the server before the timeout period for the second message expires, the application performs a different activity.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2010Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Balaji Balasubramanyan, Miko Arnab Sakhya Singha Bose

Patent number: 8352418Abstract: A collaborative authoring application provides an authoring environment in which two or more users can edit a document concurrently. Each user edits a copy of the document, sends updates to a master copy of the document, and receives updates from the master copy of the document. The authoring environment generally inhibits the users from providing conflicting editing instructions to the master copy of the document. For example, each user can generate a content lock about one or more data units within the document. The authoring environment may synchronize content locks automatically and content only at the request of the user.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2011Date of Patent: January 8, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jonathan Beckett Bailor, Ethan Joseph Bernstein, Mark Rolland Knight, Christopher James Antos, Andrew Richard Simonds, Brian Michael Jones, Simon Peter Clarke, Edgar Mark Sunderland, David Benjamin Robins, Miko Arnab Sakhya Singha Bose

Publication number: 20120254315Abstract: Example systems and methods are directed at maintaining and retrieving presence metadata. One example method includes receiving a request from a first client to edit a document file, and sending short-term check out metadata to the first client to begin an editing session. The method also includes writing the transition ID to a transition table stored in a cache, wherein the presence of another transition ID in the cache indicates that a document has switched from a single-client mode to a multi-client mode. An example system includes a processing unit operative to receive a document, the document including short-term check out metadata indicating an editing session has begun, ping a cache to determine if another transition ID is stored in the cache, and send a transition ID to a transition table stored in a cache to switch from a single-client mode to a multi-client mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2012Publication date: October 4, 2012Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Simon Skaria, Naresh Kannan, Simon Peter Clarke, Miko Arnab Sakhya Singha Bose, Christopher J.

Publication number: 20120204090Abstract: Example systems, methods, and data structures are directed at synchronizing documents. One example data structure includes receiving a request from a first client to edit a document, and sending short-term check out metadata to the first client to begin an editing session. The data structure includes a plurality of cells and a plurality of data objects defining content of the document. Each data object is associated with one of the cells and has an object identifier that uniquely identifies the data object within the associated cell, and is configured to communicate with other cells and with objects within the associated cell. In addition, each of the cells is defined so that each other cell remains unaffected by changes to data objects of the cell.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2011Publication date: August 9, 2012Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Simon P.

Patent number: 8239345Abstract: Contents of a copy of a server file may be saved to a down load file, a base file, and a working file. An indication may be received from an application that the application has edited the working file and a copy of the edited working file may be saved to an upload file. A server computer may be queried to determine if the server file on the server computer has been changed. If the server file on the server computer has not been changed, the server file on the server computer may be updated with contents of the upload file. If the server file on the server computer has been changed, a three-way merge of the upload file, the base file, and the changed server file on the server computer may be performed. Then the server file on the server computer may be updated with the three-way merge results.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2007Date of Patent: August 7, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Simon P.

Publication number: 20090282462Abstract: Examples are related to systems and methods for controlling access to document files on a document server. One example system includes document files stored on a document server, at least one of the document files referencing a file lock, and a document access processing module. The example document access processing module includes a file sharing processing module that determines a coauthoring status of a software application of a client computer requesting access to the document file, and a file lock processing module that stores one or more file locks and that controls the setting and resetting of file locks. The example document access processing module uses the coauthoring status of the software application and the file lock status of a document file to determine whether a software application is permitted to have write access to the document file.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2008Publication date: November 12, 2009Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Simon Skaria, Naresh Kannan, Simon Peter Clarke, Miko Arnab Sakhya Singha Bose, Christopher J.
