Patent number: 10491535Abstract: In one embodiment, an application module 114 may adjust a synchronization scheme 306 based on the operational state of a computing device 110. An operating system 112 may determine an operational state for a computing device 110. The operating system 112 may assign a synchronization allotment 304 to the application module 114 based on the operational state. A synchronization engine 116 of the application module 114 may implement a synchronization scheme 306 based on the synchronization allotment 304.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2016Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jeroen Vanturennout, Jason Wadsworth, Yuanquan Zhang, Ranjib Singh Badh, Hari Pulapaka, Alain Gefflaut, Eyal Axelrod

Patent number: 10198716Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for providing awareness of user availability. A user may activate a device, and a request to manage an availability status can be sent from the device to a communication service. The communication service may resultantly set up monitoring of the user status, and the availability status of the user can be set to available. If an active status update is not received from the user device, the availability status of the user can be changed from available to away. If an active status update for the user continues not to be received (e.g., for a few hours) and/or device connectivity seems lost, the availability status of the user can be changed from away to offline. This can be done in a resource/power efficient manner by not requiring continual execution of an associated application and/or continual network connectivity of the device.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2011Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Vipul Bansal, Jeroen Vanturennout, Ranjib Singh Badh, Eyal Axelrod, Alton Kwok, Ritu Varma, Yosef Firstenberg

Patent number: 9754123Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for dynamically maintaining user centric data. For example, a data provider app may have knowledge about user centric data associated with a user (e.g., a social network app may have contact information for a social network friend of the user). A user centric profile may be defined for the user centric data based upon information provided by the data provider app (e.g., a contact card may be generated for the social network friend). Responsive to receiving a request for the user centric profile from a requestor app (e.g., an event planning app), the user centric profile may be exposed to the user but not to the requestor app for security and/or privacy purposes. For example, an operating system may present at least some of the user centric profile within an operating system user interface.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2016Date of Patent: September 5, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jacob Andrew Sabulsky, Christopher Scott Dickens, Zainab Hakim, Harris Syed, Axel Andrejs, John Saxon Morrow, Ranjib Singh Badh, Sarjana Sheth, Sermet Iskin, Manoj Kumar Biswas, Sashi Raghupathy, Jayaraman Kalyana Sundaram

Patent number: 9588983Abstract: In one embodiment, a synchronization engine 116 of an application module 114 may adjust a synchronization scheme 306 based on the implicit data classification of a data item. A synchronization engine 116 may detect a user action 406 executed by a user on a data item 402. The synchronization engine 116 may determine an action type 408 for the user action 406. The synchronization engine 116 may assign an item synchronization priority to the data item 402 based on the action type 406.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2013Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jeroen Vanturennout, Jason Wadsworth, Yuanquan Zhang, Ranjib Singh Badh, Eyal Axelrod
