Patent number: 7818789Abstract: This invention is directed to provide a method for enabling an administrator to monitor and selectively limit the computer functions available to a user. The method is carried out on a personal computer by an administrator, and administrator decisions can be enforced on other personal computers in a local network. The invention enables an administrator to restrict a user's logon hours, logon duration, access to computer functions, and access to applications based on content rating. In addition, the administrator may temporarily restrict or extend normally allowed access privileges. The invention also allows for the monitoring, auditing, and reporting of a user's computer function usage to an administrator.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2008Date of Patent: October 19, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Craig Adam Beilinson, Raymond J. Chen, Ramkumar Ramasubramanian, Dennis L. Davis, Christopher A. Evans, Eric R. Flo, Sterling M. Reasor

Patent number: 7237240Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for dynamically populating a list of most used execution points in a graphical user interface of an operating system based upon the utilization behavior of a user. One embodiment provides for depicting a list of execution points to most used programs by determining a list of eligible programs, tracking the usage of the eligible programs in a usage list, taking into account chronological order of the activation of the programs and determining which programs in the usage list have the most usage. These programs then have execution points placed on a displayed most used list in the graphical user interface.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2002Date of Patent: June 26, 2007Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Raymond J. Chen, Sam Leventer, Sankar Ramasubramanian, John E. Schussler, Richard W. Stoakley

Patent number: 5784615Abstract: An operating system for a computer system having a protection scheme with a plurality of privilege rings provides services for message broadcasting from applications at less privileged rings to virtual drivers at a most privileged ring, and from the virtual drivers to applications. The virtual drivers can perform user mode operations including message broadcasting as an application by synchronizing to a thread of a user mode message server at application time, and setting the thread's user mode context to perform the operations.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 1994Date of Patent: July 21, 1998Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Ralph Allen Lipe, Raymond J. Chen, Michael A. Schmidt, Sankar Ramasubramanian
