Patent number: 11750668Abstract: The present disclosure is generally related to integrating asynchronous text based and voice based communication between users on desktop and mobile devices with synchronous modes of communication, such as video or audio conferencing. More particularly, additional notifications, commands, and services may be provided to aid users to smoothly transition between different modes of operation, to adapt to varying conditions, and to reduce distraction caused by notifications.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2021Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Inventor: Nikolay Abkairov

Patent number: 10652506Abstract: Techniques are provided for transmitting high quality multimedia data from a device for live and on-demand viewing. The device adjusts the quality of a single multimedia data stream based on one or more factors, such as the available bandwidth of a wireless link with a server, whether there are any “live” subscribers of the multimedia data stream, whether any “live” subscribers are interacting with the device, and a change in the privacy settings of the user of the device. Any data that was removed from the multimedia data stream before it was transmitted to a server is subsequently sent to the server. The server generates multiple versions of the multimedia data stream that vary in terms of quality. The server selects which version of the multimedia data stream to transmit to a subscriber of the multimedia data stream based on one or more criteria.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2018Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: SKYPE IRELAND TECHNOLOGIES HOLDINGSInventors: Nikolay Abkairov, Alexey Timanovsky

Patent number: 9787819Abstract: A portion of speech is captured when spoken by a near-end user. A near-end user terminal conducts a communication session, over a network, between the near-end user and one or more far-end users, the session including a message sent to the one or more far-end users. A vetting mechanism is provided via a touchscreen user interface of the near-end user terminal, to allow the near-end user to vet an estimated transcription of the portion of speech prior to being sent to the one or more far-end users in the message. According to the vetting mechanism: (i) a first gesture performed by the near-end user through the touchscreen user interface accepts the estimated transcription to be included in a predetermined role in the sent message, while (ii) one or more second gestures performed by the near-end user through the touchscreen user interface each reject the estimated transcription to be sent in the message.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2015Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventor: Nikolay Abkairov

Patent number: 9077774Abstract: A method, computer program product, and system provide real time, two way audio-video conversation between mobile computing devices. Low latency is achieved by splitting the audio and video data streams from a given audio-video conversation using two different transport protocols to send the separate streams over a network, and re-syncing them at the other end. The transmission for each stream is tuned based on feedback data indicating available bandwidth of the network or other mobile computing device. A server offloads processing requirements that would otherwise be handled by the mobile computing device. The two way conversation can be externally observed by web-based users. The system functions over a disparate set of mobile computing device endpoints and web-based endpoints, and over different wireless carrier network infrastructures.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2011Date of Patent: July 7, 2015Assignee: Skype Ireland Technologies HoldingsInventors: Alexey Pikin, Leanid Vouk, Nikolay Abkairov, Vijay Tella
