Patent number: 8952897Abstract: Embodiments of a soft input panel (SIP) for an electronic device are disclosed. The SIP can be configured for entering text in a non-English language that uses a more numerous character set than does English. The characters used in the language that are available to be entered using the SIP can be available to be entered using keys on a single page of keys without switching to a different page of keys or using function keys. At least one of the keys of the SIP is a base key that is configured to open a picker window when activated. The picker window comprises plural picker keys that allow a user to select from plural different characters associated with the base key.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2012Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Anukrati Agrawal, Daniel Chang, Sameer Garde, Parul Dalia

Patent number: 7954046Abstract: XML data is associated with an XML schema file defining XML data types and data type definitions for applying XML data to the document. An XML data map is prepared that relates that any XML data applied to the document back to corresponding XML elements or attributes defined in the associated schema file. When the document is imported into a spreadsheet application grid, the data map is parsed to find XPATHs in the imported spreadsheet document of XML data and the user entered data. After an imported document has been edited, or after a document is created to include the application of XML data in association with a selected XML schema file, the document may be exported such that the XML data applied to the document is maintained for subsequent import and use of the document.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2005Date of Patent: May 31, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Robert Collie, Chad Rothschiller, Ulrich Homann, Joseph Chirilov, Kelly J. Lynch, Ramakrishnan Natarajan, Eoin Burke, Juha Niemisto, Michael J. McCormack, Parul Dalia, Marise Chan, James Rivera

Patent number: 7703007Abstract: Data presented in a hierarchical format is rendered in a form allowing the data to be imported into a spreadsheet document where the data can be modified and new data can be added. A data file containing the hierarchically formatted data is selected for importing. A mapping relating a plurality of elements within the hierarchical data to a plurality of respective locations in the spreadsheet document is accessed. The hierarchical data is rendered in the spreadsheet document according to the mapping. Input is received to modify the hierarchical data rendered in the spreadsheet document. The mapping is updated to include the modifications to the hierarchical data. The modifications to the hierarchical data and the updated mapping are exported for subsequent rendering in a second spreadsheet document according to the updated mapping.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2005Date of Patent: April 20, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Robert Collie, Chad Rothschiller, Ulrich Homann, Joseph Chirilov, Kelly J.

Patent number: 7640493Abstract: Extensible markup language data in an extensible markup language (such as XML) is associated with a schema file for defining data types and data type definitions for applying data to the document. A map is prepared that relates that any extensible markup data applied to the document back to corresponding elements or attributes defined in the associated schema file. When the document is imported into a spreadsheet application grid, the data map is parsed to find XPATHs which determine the location, data types and user data for each cell or list object in the document related to the schema file. The cells and lists are populated with the extensible markup data and user data, and rendered according to formatting dictated by the extensible markup data applied to the document. The document may be exported such that the extensible markup data is maintained for subsequent import and use.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2006Date of Patent: December 29, 2009Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Robert Collie, Chad Rothschiller, Ulrich Homann, Joseph Chirilov, Kelly J.

Patent number: 7096422Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for mapping markup language data and schema, such as eXtensible Markup Language (XML) data and XML schema, to selected fields (cells, columns, rows) of a spreadsheet application document. An XML schema file is associated with a spreadsheet application document by providing a mechanism of adding the schema definitions to the spreadsheet application document. Furthermore, XML schema constructs such as elements, attributes, and simple content are associated to regions in the spreadsheet application document by providing a tree view structure of a generalized instance of a given XML schema file. A user may drag and drop markup language nodes representing elements, attributes and simple data content, from the tree view structure of the generalized instance of the XML schema file onto a spreadsheet worksheet grid.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2003Date of Patent: August 22, 2006Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Chad Rothschiller, Robert Collie, Joseph Chirilov, Kelly J.
