Patent number: 9569540Abstract: Methods, computer-storage media, and graphical user interfaces are provided for identifying and presenting rich related sites for task-oriented search queries. Upon receipt of a search query input by a user, one or more query logs are analyzed to determine if the search query is a related to a task being performed by the user. If the query is determined to be a task-oriented search query, search results are identified, as is one or more Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) related to a particular search result. The related URL is presented to the user in association with the particular search result. Additional controls, e.g., search tools that facilitate querying of those URLs determined to be relevant to a particular search result, may also be provided to aid the user in performing the task at hand.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2016Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Nitin Agrawal, Tabreez Govani, Jamie P.

Publication number: 20140279901Abstract: Disclosed are methods and structures that facilitate the synchronization of mobile devices and apps with cloud storage systems. Our disclosure, Simba, provides a unified synchronization mechanism for object and table data in the context of mobile clients. Advantageously, Simba provides application developers a single, API where object data is logically embedded with the table data. On the mobile device, Simba uses a specialized data layout to efficiently store both table data and object data. SQL-like queries are used to store and retrieve all data via a table abstraction. Simba also provides efficient synchronization by splitting object data into chunks which can be synchronized independently. Therefore, if only a small part of an object changes, the full object need not be synced. Advantageously only the changed chunks need be synched.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 12, 2014Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: NEC Laboratories America, Inc.Inventors: Nitin Agrawal, Akshat Aranya, Cristian Ungureanu

Patent number: 8719246Abstract: The present invention is directed to presenting a suggested search query. Responsive to receiving a user-devised search parameter, a suggested search query is identified. The user-devised search parameter might have been previously received by a search system, or alternatively, might be a unique query that has not been previously received. A suggested search query might be generated using various techniques, such as by applying an n-gram language model. A classification of the suggested search query is determined, and the suggested search query is presented together with a visual indicator, which signifies the classification.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2010Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Robert Williams, Nitin Agrawal, Farid Hosseini, Sanaz Ahari, Maxim Stepin, Jason Bolla, Bo-June Hsu
