Patent number: 11516165Abstract: Methods and systems for revoking electronic messages. One method includes storing, for each of a plurality of forwarded messages, a record in a data store, each record including a link to an original message for the forwarded message, and receiving a request to revoke a forwarded message. In response to receiving the request, the method includes identifying an original message the forwarded message via a record stored in the data store and notifying, with an electronic processor, a user associated with the original message of the request to revoke the forwarded message. In response to receiving an instruction revoking the original source message from the user, the method includes identifying each forward of the original message via records stored in the data store and revoking the original message and each message associated with each record stored in the data store including a link to the original message.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2019Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Sukanya Rajagopal, Vikhyat Khosla, Aayushi Joshi, Nikhil Maryala, Manohar Kumar, Rakesh Midha, Arun Rajappa, Deepak Kumar Pratinidhi, Rajiv Kumar

Publication number: 20190173823Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for surfacing one or more location-based messaging groups are presented. Geolocation information associated with a current location of a client computing device may be sent to a group messaging service. A request to identify one or more location-based messaging groups corresponding to the current location of the client computing device may be sent from a group messaging application to the group messaging service. Information associated with one or more location-based messaging groups for which the current location of the client computing device meets a location-based threshold may be received from the group messaging service, and the one or more location-based messaging groups for which the current location of the client computing device meets the location-based surfacing threshold may be surface on a display of the client computing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2018Publication date: June 6, 2019Inventors: Abhinav Mukherjee, Shantanu Prasade, Manav Mithal, Vani Sivasankar, Saumitra Agarwal, Jayram Kumar, Ravi Birhman, Andre Rodrigues, Rajiv Kumar, Prashant Gupta, Deepak Pratinidhi, Rakesh Midha, Arun Rajappa

Publication number: 20180302351Abstract: A messaging system provides messaging interactions between users of a group. A message received from a subscriber user and intended for an administrator user is routed to an administrator user, the message not being visible to other subscriber users. A message received from an administrator user and intended for a specific subscriber user is routed to the specific subscriber user, the message not being visible to other subscriber users. A message received from an administrator user and intended for plural subscriber users is routed to the plural subscriber users. A subscriber user is unable to send a message to another subscriber user via the messaging system.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2017Publication date: October 18, 2018Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Deepak Kumar PRATINIDHI, Rajiv KUMAR, Prashant GUPTA, Vinay KUMAR, Rakesh MIDHA, Shashank AGARWAL, Ashwani JINDAL, Jayawant TEWARI, Paramveer Singh SISODIA, Arun RAJAPPA, Manav MITHAL, Richa ARORA

Publication number: 20180139156Abstract: A messaging system with messaging accounts for users of the messaging system comprises a group messaging service for transmitting and receiving messages via a network between users in each of plurality of messaging groups, those users having messaging accounts associated with that messaging group. An organization management system with member accounts for members of an organization comprises a registration service for registering user identifiers with the member accounts. An information retrieval service of the organization management system generates a group information request comprising a user identifier registered with one of the member accounts. A system interface communicates to the organization management system, in response, information about at least one of the messaging groups associated with a corresponding one of the messaging accounts comprising a matching user identifier.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 1, 2017Publication date: May 17, 2018Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Rajiv Kumar, Deepak Pratinidhi, Arun Rajappa, Rakesh Midha, Dharmanand Singh, Vikrant Deepak Shah, Teekam Chand Goyal

Publication number: 20180103085Abstract: A server, user terminal, system, method and computer-program product for performing a data transfer to upload a data file from the user terminal to the server or download a data file from the server to the user terminal, via a connection over a network. The method comprises evaluating a size of the data file to be uploaded or downloaded, determining a measure of a current workload of the server, and estimating a bandwidth of at least part of the connection. A time-out window is derived during which the transfer of the data file is allowed to be performed, wherein the deriving of the time out window is performed based the data file size, server workload and bandwidth. The data transfer is enabled during the time-out window, but timed out when the time-out window expires.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 2, 2017Publication date: April 12, 2018Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Bin Fang, Peter Feng Zeng, Min Wan, Rakesh Midha, Guang Yang, Congrui Huang, Shashank Agarwal, Soubhagya Ranjan Nayak

Publication number: 20180041460Abstract: A system and method for aggregating user response data in a communication system such as an instant messaging (IM system). Aggregation is performed according to a hierarchical group addressing structure into which users are arranged. Data may be input, output and distributed in a structured data format. Aggregating information comprises collating, in each group in the hierarchical group addressing structure, information contained in responses from individual users in that group. Aggregating said information may further comprise collating, for each group in the hierarchical group addressing structure, information contained in responses from all child groups subordinate to that group. Because the grouping structure for addressing or routing is pre-existing, no additional grouping or categorising of individuals or responses is required.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 3, 2017Publication date: February 8, 2018Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Salil Das, Rajiv Kumar, Deepak Pratinidhi, Vinay Kumar, Rakesh Midha, Arun Rajappa, Jayawant Tewari, Shashank Agarwal, Harsh V.

Publication number: 20180027068Abstract: In an instant messaging system users can be assigned groups to assist in distributing messages quickly and easily among designated users. A hierarchical grouping structure can be defined to provide increased control of groups and message routing. Parent and child groups can be defined, and a cascaded message flow can route messages from parent to child groups, but not from child to parent groups, which is particularly useful in very large systems with large numbers of users.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 3, 2017Publication date: January 25, 2018Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Vinay Kumar, Teekam Chand Goyal, Deepak Pratinidhi, Rakesh Midha, Anil Prasad, Jayawant Tewari, Prashant Gupta, Rajiv Kumar, Arun Rajappa, Praveen Upadhyay

Publication number: 20140068547Abstract: Application functionality is separated into platform neutral components and platform specific components. An application model component defines the core logic of the application and includes interaction models for handling user input that is platform neutral and may be used across platforms. An application host component includes functionality for a specific platform but may be reused across different applications on the same platform (e.g. how to draw on a specific platform). An application user interface component includes functionality (e.g. specific UI for an application) that is platform specific and application specific. Platform neutral Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are used by the developer to abstract functionality of the application such that the platform neutral code is portable across different platforms. The communication between the platform specific components and platform neutral components uses thread and memory isolation similar to a client-server architecture.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2012Publication date: March 6, 2014Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Vinay Kumar, Rakesh Midha, Deepak Kumar Pratinidhi, Benoit Barabe, Donovan Lange, Kentaro Urata, Daniel Escapa
