Patent number: 8358308Abstract: Various types of data can be collected into a data set and related content and/or related concepts across the data in the data set and/or across search histories can be displayed as a visual representation. The related content/concepts can be presented as a function of incremental revealing of relationships. After reviewing the visual representation, a user can customize the data set and relationships by specifically excluding a related data segment. The visual representation can be applied across multiple searches or other obtained data. Through interaction with the visual representation, a user can drill down into common linkages of the data to more narrowly focus on a subset of the data and/or to refocus a search result and/or to provide annotations.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2008Date of Patent: January 22, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: George G.

Patent number: 8214765Abstract: The claimed subject matter relates to an architecture that can construct a map for summarizing analyses with respect to data included in a database. In addition, the architecture can display the map in a special canvas area. Generally, the map is a hub-and-spoke-style map in which a hub is associated with an entity (e.g., a related set of records) included in a database. Likewise, the spokes are typically representative of operations (e.g., filter, join, transform) that act upon the hub/entity from which it extends. The map can aid with open-ended analysis on complex databases by recording and ordering competing hypotheses and can also further collaborative efforts with respect to analysis.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2008Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Morten Holm-Petersen, George G.

Publication number: 20120143769Abstract: Commerce card techniques are described. In one or more implementations, one or more credentials are received at a commerce card, the credentials encrypted using a public key. The one or more credentials are decrypted using a private key that corresponds to the public key, the decrypting performed by a secure element implemented in tamper-resistant hardware of the commerce card without exposing the private key outside of the secure element. The decrypted one or more credentials are stored within the secure element of the commerce card such that the decrypted one or more credentials are not exposed outside of the secure element, the one or more credentials usable by the commerce card as part of a transaction to purchase a good or service.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2010Publication date: June 7, 2012Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Murali R.

Patent number: 7873598Abstract: A method and a processing device may be provided for creating a shadow database, having a size being approximately a desired percentage of a size of a relational database. Referential integrity of tables of the relational database may be preserved in the created shadow database. A representation of a connected graph may be created, based on a schema description of the relational database, and may be used to find driving tables and related tables of the relational database. Portions of driving tables of the relational database may be copied to corresponding tables of the shadow database and rows of tables of the relational database, related to the copied portions of the driving tables, may be copied to corresponding tables of the shadow database in a number of iterations until the size of the shadow database is approximately the desired percentage of the size of the relational database.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2008Date of Patent: January 18, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Hui Shi, Kenton Gidewall, Marcelo M.

Patent number: 7680035Abstract: The adaptive bandwidth throttling system implements a graceful diminution of services to the clients by delaying a first class of services provided by a network server in response to the effective bandwidth utilized by this network server exceeding a first threshold. If the demand for the bandwidth by this network server exceeds a second threshold, the bandwidth throttling system escalates the throttling response and blocks the first class of services from execution and can also concurrently delay execution of a second class of services. The implementation of the throttling process can be varied, to include additional levels of response or finer gradations of the response, to include subsets of a class of services. In addition, the threshold levels of bandwidth used to trigger the throttling response can be selected as desired by the system administrator.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2006Date of Patent: March 16, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventor: Murali R.

Patent number: 7669177Abstract: The present systems and methods disclose a system for personalizing computer functionality. End-users are provided with tools to easily write rich and complex preferences, for example, by using a plurality simple IF-THEN propositional logic. The preferences are then transformed into queries and executed efficiently on structured data. Preferences that are satisfied then execute actions such as providing notification or storing data in a particular folder. Furthermore, according to an aspect of the invention, data, logic, events, inter alia, are all schematized, thereby enabling sharing of data between application components and across applications.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2003Date of Patent: February 23, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Robert H. Gerber, Holly Knight, Murali R. Krishnan, Niranjan Nilakantan, Shahaf Abileah, Shyamalan Pather
