Patent number: 9898766Abstract: A method of payment using a client device is disclosed. The payment can be made through a payment method service that can control the payment flow and options available to the user of a client device. Using the payment method service, new payment options with new data schemas and/or new process flows can be used by the client device, but without any need to update software stored on the client device. The payment method service can utilize the look and feel of the client device, such that the user views payment options in the native UI of the client device.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2012Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: J. Sage Schreiner, Sean Nordberg, Jeremy Corley, Nancy Sedora, Steve Lunsman, Matthias Baer, David Manci Gardner, Patrick J. Derks, Rahul Dhar, Matt Pisut, James Oleinik, Tal Goldbloom, Ashish Virmani, Yoav Sion, Gene Michael DeClark, Anubhav Kale

Patent number: 8903708Abstract: A system and method are described for analyzing a menu. In one embodiment, a mobile device can obtain a digital version of a restaurant menu. A list of food criteria can be stored on the mobile device and tailored to a particular user of the mobile device. The restaurant menu can then be filtered using the stored list of food criteria to display a reduced version of the restaurant menu with items that conflict with the food criteria removed. In another embodiment, the digital version of the menu can be translated. For example, a destination language can be based on a language setting in the mobile device. A source language can either be entered by the user, determined automatically by comparing words in the menu itself against dictionaries in different languages, or by using geographic location of the restaurant.Type: GrantFiled: February 10, 2012Date of Patent: December 2, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Patrick J. Derks, Atulkumar Desai
