Publication number: 20240037220Abstract: An access token broker is executed within a first iFrame, a fully trusted application is executed in a second iFrame within the first iFrame, and a partially trusted application is executed in a third iFrame within the second iFrame. The partially trusted application may identify the iFrame in which the access token broker is executing and request an access token from the access token broker. The access token broker determines whether the request for the access token is to be granted. If the request is to be granted, the access token broker requests the access token from a hosting application. The hosting application obtains the requested access token from an access token server and provides the access token to the access token broker. The access token broker receives the access token from the hosting application and provides the access token to the partially trusted application.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2022Publication date: February 1, 2024Inventors: Graham Lee MCMYNN, Patrick Carl MILLER, Luca BANDINELLI, John Giang NGUYEN

Patent number: 10255377Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and system for generating a uniform resource locator using one or more terms in a hierarchical taxonomy. Specifically, embodiments disclosed herein provide receiving a plurality of terms for a term set and generating a hierarchical taxonomy for the term set using the plurality of terms. Once the hierarchical taxonomy has been generated, a navigation property may be assigned to at least one term in the plurality of terms. A navigation term set that mirrors the properties of the hierarchical taxonomy is then created using the at least one term.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2016Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Patrick Carl Miller, Peter Blair Gonzalez del Solar, Daniel E.

Patent number: 10142399Abstract: Embodiments are provided that include client-server computing architectures that use minimal download features and functionality as part of page navigation operations, but are not so limited. In an embodiment, a client-server computer system uses a page transition strategy to navigate between electronic pages based in part on script, style, content, and/or other page differences that can be used as part of providing minimal download features and functionality. A method of an embodiment operates to package page incremental rendering information for use in rendering a new electronic page without having to reapply common aspects of the new electronic page and a reference electronic page. Other embodiments are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2014Date of Patent: November 27, 2018Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Arye Gittelman, Petru Mihai Moldovanu, Sterling John Crockett, Patrick Carl Miller

Publication number: 20170357731Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and system for generating a webpage using one or more terms in a hierarchical taxonomy. Specifically, embodiments provide for identifying an item in a database where the item is associated with at least one term in a term set having a hierarchical structure. A uniform resource locator is generated for the webpage using the at least one term and the hierarchical structure associated with the at least one term. An identifier associated with the item is then determined and appended to the generated uniform resource locator.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2017Publication date: December 14, 2017Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Patrick Carl Miller, Peter Blair Gonzalez del Solar, Daniel E.

Publication number: 20140136948Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and system for generating a webpage using one or more terms in a hierarchical taxonomy. Specifically, embodiments disclosed herein include receiving a selection of a term in a navigation term set. In embodiments, the term is associated with at least one content item. A query is the executed using the term and a webpage template, that is associated with the navigation term set, is dynamically populated based on the results of the query. A uniform resource locator is then generated for a webpage that corresponds to the webpage template. In embodiments, the uniform resource locator is generated using the navigation term set.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 28, 2012Publication date: May 15, 2014Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Patrick Carl Miller, Peter Blair Gonzalez del Solar, Daniel E.
