Patent number: 10409829Abstract: Described is a system and method for updating a contact and adding a new contact from a call log in a communications device. The system includes a contact manager that is directed towards creating and updating call contact cards in a contact database with information retrieved from call logs of phone calls made to or from the communications device. In one embodiment, information is pre-populated into a predetermined data field of the contact card, thereby reducing workload to a user. The method includes determining if a request is for updating an existing contact card or for adding a new contact card to the contact database. The update or addition is made with information retrieved from call logs. Call information is pre-populated into a predetermined data field of the contact card, when it is determined that the request is to add a new contact card to the contact database.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2015Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Susan Elizabeth Pappalardo, Jason William Fuller, Peter G. Chin, Jessica Dale Tenenbaum

Patent number: 9046984Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a user interface for mobile devices enable data and services available through the mobile device to be represented as a set of tiles maintained in a display space. The tiles provide a snapshot of the current state of content available through the mobile device without requiring any interaction by the user. The tiles and display space are customizable and can be dynamically updated to display content to a user. In addition, tiles can provide functionality, including simple tasks to a user without requiring the user to navigate away from the tile display space. Tiles can also provide quick access to start software applications. Tiles can be organized in the display space by the user or the tiles can be automatically grouped based upon associated metadata.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2010Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: David W. Flynt, Bryan T. Agnetta, Sally Louise Barton, Eduardo L. Escardo-Raffo, Tirthankar Sengupta, Peter G. Chin, Hok-Sum Horace Luke

Patent number: 8704783Abstract: The described embodiments allow for the selection of content in a touch screen display. The method includes detecting a single tap on a word of text in a text editing field in a touch screen, and responsive to the single tap selecting the word of text in whole. In another embodiment additional content can be selected. Contact with selected content displayed in a touch screen can be detected. The contact with the touch screen can be detected moving in a direction along the selected content. Additional content is selected by selecting a word of text adjacent to the selected content being contacted.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2010Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Shawna Julie Davis, Peter G.

Patent number: 8626554Abstract: Systems and methods for scheduling appointment reminders are based on multiple conditions including estimated travel time. An estimate of the time needed to travel between the user's location and the location of the appointment can be determined by retrieving location information from a global address list (GAL), a local address book of a calendaring application, from a map service, or other location determining technology. Users can subscribe to alert service to receive information regarding recent events such as traffic problems, flight delays, weather conditions, etc., which is then used in setting or modifying reminder times. Notifications can be generated for timing conflicts based on the estimated travel time. If the estimated travel time would require the user to leave a previous appointment early, or be late for a subsequent appointment, a notification can be generated to the user.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2011Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventor: Peter G.

Patent number: 7236576Abstract: A user interface for screen phones monitors telephone line state information and displays user interface controls and telephone line status information dependent on the telephone line state. The user interface includes a display element referred to as a call slip that expands and collapses in response to changes in telephone line state and user input. The call slip updates the information that it displays based on telephone line state changes and information communicated from one or more telephony monitoring applications. The call slip displays user interface controls representing tasks that are dependent on information derived from a telephone call, such as caller ID information. The software used to control the display of call slips and to monitor telephone line state is part of a software platform that may be customized for a particular device or application.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2005Date of Patent: June 26, 2007Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Charles B. Schnarel, Mauricio Lomelin, Peter G. Chin, Derek S. Graham, Kate Welker, Robert C. Murdock, Justin C. Cooper, Laurence Golding, Suzanne Walsh

Patent number: 7225409Abstract: A graphical user interface for a web telephone and other telephony devices provides a unique combination of display elements that provide information and enable the user to access functionality of the device. The display elements include customizable screen areas called panes, an application program selection area, and call state area for displaying telephone line status information. A software platform of the user interface provides a set of default user interface features and exposes an application programming interface. System implementers may customize the default display elements or create entirely new custom panes that fit within a uniform user interface framework using the application programming interface.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 1999Date of Patent: May 29, 2007Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Charles P.
