Patent number: 9043300Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, in which an input method editor receives composition inputs in an input method editor environment, the composition inputs based on user inputs. Candidate selections are identified in the input method editor environment based on the composition inputs. Each candidate selection comprises one or more ideograms. The input method editor environment receives a search command based on a user input, and selects one of the candidate selections in response to the search command. The selected candidate selection and the search command are provided to a search engine interface external to the input method editor environment.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2008Date of Patent: May 26, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Feng Hong, Yuke Zhao, Quji Guo

Patent number: 8874970Abstract: Embodiments are configured to improve the stability of a Web browser by identifying plug-in modules that cause failures. Data in memory at the time of a failure is analyzed, and a failure signature is generated. The failure signature is compared to a database of known failure signatures so that the source of the failure may be identified. If a plug-in module to a Web browser is identified as the source of a failure, options are presented to the user who may update the plug-in module with code that does not produce a failure or disable the plug-in module altogether.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2012Date of Patent: October 28, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Joseph E. Benedek, Roberto A. Franco, Quji Guo, J. Craig Hally, Reid T. Holmes, Roman Pamucci, Edward J. Praitis, Christopher T. Sager, Brian D. Wentz

Patent number: 7937440Abstract: Systems and methods for establishing and maintaining a shared browsing experience are disclosed. A method for establishing a shared browsing experience includes an inviter computer communicating to an invitee computer, via an online messenger communication path, an invitation to establish a co-browsing experience. The invitee computer communicates to the inviter computer, via the first communication path, an acceptance of the invitation. A co-browsing communication path is then established between the inviter computer and the invitee computer. Information relating to the shared browsing experience is then communicated between the inviter and invitee computers via the co-browsing communication path.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2005Date of Patent: May 3, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Oliver Lee, Christopher J. Araman, Quji Guo, Cees Van Dok, Joel K. Grossman, Brian D. Wentz, Jordan L. K. Schwartz

Patent number: 7769751Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that automatically classifies documents (such as web pages) based on user inputs. During operation, the system obtains a “classified” set of documents which are classified as relating to a specific topic. The system also obtains queries related to the specific topic. These queries produce “query results” which enable the user to access documents related to the query. The queries also include “click information” which specifies how one or more users have accessed the query results. The system uses this click information to identify documents in the classified set of documents which are not related to the specific topic or are off-topic. If such documents are identified, the system shifts the identified documents so that they are regarded as off-topic and/or spam, and removes the identified documents from the classified set of documents.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2006Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Jun Wu, Zhengzhu Feng, Quji Guo, Zhe Qian

Patent number: 7426537Abstract: Systems and methods for establishing a shared dynamic content experience are disclosed. A method for sharing a dynamic content experience according to the invention includes an inviter computer communicating, via a first communication path between an invitee computer and a network based communication server, an invitation to establish a shared dynamic content experience between the inviter computer and the invitee computer. If the invitation is accepted, a content sharing communication path is established between the inviter computer and the invitee computer. Information relating to a current dynamic content experience at the inviter computer is communicated, via the content sharing communication path, to the invitee computer. Information relating to a current dynamic content experience at the invitee computer is communicated, via the content sharing communication path, to the inviter computer.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2002Date of Patent: September 16, 2008Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Oliver Lee, Quji Guo, Joel K.

Patent number: 7321988Abstract: The present invention is generally directed to improving the stability of computing devices by identifying plug-in modules and other programs that cause failures. More specifically, the present invention provides a method that traces program execution from an instruction that ultimately generated a failure to a code library that caused the failure generating instruction to be executed. The method traces execution of the computing device by obtaining the contents of memory at the time of the failure and traversing the stack data structure that stores data items necessary to execute function calls.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2004Date of Patent: January 22, 2008Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Quji Guo, Roberto A Franco, Edward J Praitis, Li-Hsin Huang, Jingyang Xu, Brian D Wentz, Julian Jiggins, Venkatavaradhan Panchapagesan
