Patent number: 10938754Abstract: Systems and methods for conducting an instant messaging communication session are disclosed. A method may include displaying an instant messaging user interface that includes a message composition region for composing an instant messaging communication. The method also includes receiving a selection of media for insertion into the instant messaging communication by receiving a reference to the media. The method may further include generating a link comprising an address of the selected media. The method also includes creating a selectable control with the link embedded therein in the user interface, and detecting selection of a selectable control. The method may further include displaying a video player region within the instant messaging user interface in response to the detected selection of the selectable control, and accessing a network element to play the media within a video player region in response to the detected selection of the selectable control.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2019Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Richard James Cole, Stephanie Robesky, Benjamin Dove, Natasha Valerie Sopieva

Publication number: 20160056976Abstract: A method of accessing a first communication system of a first communication provider via a packet-based network, the first communication system maintaining a first list of contacts being users of the first communication system. The method comprises establishing a contact-sharing channel with a second communication system of a second, partner communication provider, wherein the second communication system is accessible via an independently executable web-browser and the packet-based network, and wherein the second communication system maintains second group of contacts being users of the second communication system. The contact-sharing channel is used to fetch contact information of one or more of the second contacts, so as to display at least part of the fetched contact information in the client application and establish a communication based on at least part of the fetched contact information.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2015Publication date: February 25, 2016Inventors: Sergei Anikin, Neil Dodd, Scott Miller, Natasha Valerie Sopieva

Publication number: 20140181068Abstract: A method of updating a data record stored in a data store with information supplied by at least one of a plurality of users of a communication network includes storing a communication identifier in association with the data record; providing information to update the data record from a user together with a communication identifier associated with the user providing the information; and comparing the identifier stored in association with the data record to the communication identifier associated with the user providing the information. If the information is the first type of information, the data record is updated with the information only if the identifier associated with the user providing the information is the same as the identifier stored in association with the data record and if the information is the second type of information the data record is updated with the information.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2014Publication date: June 26, 2014Inventors: Rodrigo Madanes, Natasha Valerie Sopieva, Linus Nilsson, Nick Corr
