Patent number: 11734032Abstract: A desktop switcher provides equally convenient user interface navigational access to remote virtual desktops as to local virtual desktops for reliable and convenient human-computer interaction. Underlying mechanisms transparently confirm remote computer availability and compatibility, transfer thumbnails between computers, and support remoting sessions. Virtual desktops may share a clipboard, a geographic location setting, and application thumbnails, despite being based on computers that are remote from one another, e.g., when only one of a session's computers resides in a cloud. Virtual desktop context menus may be shown and utilized remotely. A visual separator in the desktop switcher may distinguish local virtual desktops from remote virtual desktops.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2022Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Christiaan Brinkhoff, Sandeep Patnaik, Jinhua Fei, Prasanna Padmanabhan, Randall Cook, Matthew Shadbolt, Roland Radtke, John Christopher Whytock, Gary Liao, Alexander Ryan Fromm, Parthasarathy Sundararajan

Patent number: 10698604Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed for providing feedback and guidance to touch screen device users to improve the text entry user experience and performance. According to one embodiment, a method comprises receiving a text entry, receiving input on a touch screen in the form of a first single touch input located over a word of previously entered text, and presenting the user with one or more suggestion candidates indicated possible replacement words related to the selected word. The user can then select one of the suggestion candidates using a second single touch input to replace the selected word with a word associated with the selected suggestion candidate.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2018Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Eric Norman Badger, Drew Elliott Linerud, Itai Almog, Timothy S.

Patent number: 10146404Abstract: In a mobile device, the text entered by users is analyzed to determine a set of responses commonly entered by users into text applications such as SMS applications in response to received messages. This set of responses is used to provide suggested responses to a user for a currently received message in a soft input panel based on the text of the currently received message. The suggested responses are provided before any characters are provided by the user. After the user provides one or more characters, the suggested responses in the soft input panel are updated. The number of suggested responses displayed to the user in the soft input panel is limited to a total confidence value to reduce user distraction and to allow for easier selection. An undo feature for inadvertent selections of suggested responses is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2015Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jason Grieves, Dmytro Rudchenko, Parthasarathy Sundararajan, Tim Paek, Itai Almog, Songming He, Jerome Turner, Masahiro Ami, Kozo Miyano

Patent number: 9195645Abstract: In a mobile device, a context is determined for the mobile device. The context is determined based on a variety of characteristics of the mobile device environment including, for example, the current application being used, any contacts that a user of the mobile device is interacting with or having a conversation with, the current date and/or time, a current topic of the conversation, a current style of the conversation, etc. Based on a set of strings associated with the determined context and user generated text, one or more string predictions are generated for the user generated text. The string predictions may be presented to the user as suggested completions of the user generated text.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2012Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Jason Grieves, Gleb Krivosheev, Dmytro Rudchenko, Parthasarathy Sundararajan, Tim Paek, Itai Almog

Publication number: 20140278349Abstract: Techniques are described to generate text prediction candidates corresponding to detected text characters according to an adaptive language model that includes multiple individual language model dictionaries. Respective scoring data from the dictionaries is combined to select prediction candidates in different interaction scenarios. In an implementation, dictionaries corresponding to multiple different languages are combined to produce multi-lingual predictions. Predictions for different languages may be weighted proportionally according to relative usage by a user. Weights used to combine contributions from multiple dictionaries may also depend upon factors such as how recently a word is used, number of times used, and so forth. Further, the dictionaries may include interaction-specific dictionaries that are learned by monitoring a user's typing activity to adapt predictions to corresponding usage scenarios.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2013Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Jason A.

Patent number: 8819619Abstract: Method and system for capturing device-independent user interface structure in a model based software system are disclosed. In one embodiment, at least one entry point is received from a user by a business system. Further, a user interface corresponding to the at least one entry point is provided. Furthermore, user interface meta-data associated with the user interface is captured. Also, at least one event associated with user interface elements is identified as a response to user actions based on the captured user interface meta-data. In addition, a pattern signature is identified in the model based software system for reuse in one or more model based software systems based on an expected behavior of the user interface when the identified at least one event occurs. Then, the identified at least one event is mapped to the identified pattern signature.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2012Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: Ramco Systems LimitedInventors: Parthasarathy Sundararajan, Srinivasan Ramaswamy, Rajagopalan Sethuraman, Raghuram Devalla
