Publication number: 20170220243Abstract: Various embodiments provide self-revealing gestures that are designed to provide an indication of how to perform one or more different gestures. In at least one embodiment, an initiation gesture is received, relative to an object. The initiation gesture is configured to cause presentation of a visualization designed to provide an indication of how to perform a different gesture. Responsive to receiving the initiation gesture, the visualization is presented without causing performance of an operation associated with the different gesture.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2017Publication date: August 3, 2017Inventors: Jan-Kristian Markiewicz, Gerrit H Hofmeester, Orry W Soegiono, Jennifer Marie Wolfe, Chantal M Leonard, Holger Kuehnle, Moneta Ho Kushner

Patent number: 9588595Abstract: In embodiments of a password reveal selector, a password entry box is displayed for input of password characters of a password, and the password entry box includes a password reveal selector for user-selection to reveal the password. The password reveal selector is initially concealed from view when the password entry box is displayed. The password characters can be received in the password entry box and the password characters are obfuscated when displayed. The password reveal selector can then be displayed for user-selection according to a selector display condition.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2011Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Ryan J. Demopoulos, Christine C. Stawitz, Moneta Ho Kushner

Patent number: 9348498Abstract: Techniques for wrapped content interaction are described. In implementations, scrolling instrumentalities are employed that enable wrapped content to be navigated via various types of input, such as mouse input, keyboard input, touch input, and so on. Examples of wrapped content include a wrapped list of items, a wrapped document, a wrapped web page, and so on. Interaction with wrapped content that is initiated within a window in which the wrapped content is displayed can proceed outside the visual bounds of the window such that the content can be scrolled as looped content.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2011Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Ryan J. Demopoulos, Christine C. Stawitz, Moneta Ho Kushner

Publication number: 20130104068Abstract: A dedicated text prediction key for inserting a text prediction candidate is described. The text prediction key may be configured and/or output for display in conjunction with an on-screen/adaptable keyboard when a prediction for entered characters is detected. The text prediction key provides a mechanism for explicit insertion of a text prediction candidate that can be employed to avoid passive/non-explicit insertions. In at least some embodiments, the text prediction key may be selectively displayed by replacing/modifying one or more keys of the on-screen keyboard. In another approach, the text prediction key may appear at a designated location within or proximate to the on-screen keyboard. The text prediction key may also be configured in various ways to notify a user that a prediction candidate is available.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2011Publication date: April 25, 2013Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: John B. Murphy, Moneta Ho Kushner, Vasudha Chandrasekaran, Seung M. Yang, Finbarr S. Duggan, Gary J. Sherman, Gerrit H. Hofmeester

Publication number: 20130067398Abstract: Semantic zoom techniques are described. In one or more implementations, techniques are described that may be utilized by a user to navigate to content of interest. These techniques may also include a variety of different features, such as to support semantic swaps and zooming “in” and “out.” These techniques may also include a variety of different input features, such as to support gestures, cursor-control device, and keyboard inputs. A variety of other features are also supported as further described in the detailed description and figures.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2011Publication date: March 14, 2013Inventors: Theresa B.

Publication number: 20130067393Abstract: Techniques for interaction with lists are described. In implementations, a wrapped list window is presented in response to an item being selected that enables a user to navigate (e.g., via panning and/or scrolling) a list of items to view other selectable items. In at least some embodiments, a user can select the item and navigate the list via a single interaction. In implementations, a list separator is implemented in a wrapped list that delineates a separation between a last item in a list of items and a first item in the list. Further to implementations, logic is employed to determine whether to display a list of items as a linear list or a wrapped list. The logic can further specify rules for determining how to configure specific types of lists on a display screen.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2011Publication date: March 14, 2013Inventors: Ryan J.
