Publication number: 20230385846Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for providing self-help. One method includes operations for detecting a request for self-help for a user, and obtaining, using a first ML model for rule mining, a first score for a set of cases from a database of historical cases of self-help for aiding users. The method further includes an operation for obtaining, using a second ML model for similarity based on user information, a second score for each case based on a similarity between and an environment of the user requesting self-help and an environment of each case. Further, the method includes obtaining a combined score for each case based on the first score and the second score, and ranking the set of cases based on the combined score. The information for at least one of the cases is presented on a user interface (UI) based on the ranking.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2022Publication date: November 30, 2023Inventors: Raymond Robert RINGHISER, Ravikumar Venkata- Seetharama BANDARU

Patent number: 11050841Abstract: A method that enables sharing a technology profile is described herein. The method includes determining at least one technology ecosystem of a first user. The method also includes generating a technology profile for the first user from the technology ecosystem, wherein the technology profile comprises components from the technology ecosystem associated with the first user. Finally, the method includes selectively sharing a shared technology profile with a second user, wherein the shared technology profile is determined by the first user and is derived from the technology profile.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2019Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Gabriele Masili, Charlene Marie Douglass, Renee Thompson Hunter, Jeremy Eugene Kelly, Raymond Robert Ringhiser

Publication number: 20210058844Abstract: A method that enables handoff between a bot and human is described herein. The method includes monitoring a conversation between a user and a first bot to detect a trigger, wherein the trigger is detected by assessing one or more factors associated with the user, wherein assessing the one or more factors comprises a determination that a user frustration level exceeds a predetermined threshold. The method also includes, in response to a detected trigger, determining a type of a handoff to be executed, wherein the handoff is to a second bot or a human support agent and the type of handoff is based on an experience of the user. Additionally, the method includes executing the determined handoff to the second bot or a human support agent, wherein the second bot or a human support agent engages the user in conversation to execute functionality desired by the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 19, 2019Publication date: February 25, 2021Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Raymond Robert Ringhiser, Gabriele Masili

Publication number: 20200387485Abstract: A system for customizing product documentation. In one example, the system includes an electronic computing device including an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to receive, from a user device, log-on credentials, determine, based on the log-on credentials, an organization, and receive, from a database server, product documentation for a product. The electronic processor is also configured to receive, from the database server, modifications for the product documentation that are associated with the organization, apply the modifications to the product documentation to create modified product documentation, and send, to the user device, the modified product documentation.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2019Publication date: December 10, 2020Inventors: Peter Eric LOFORTE, Katharine Elizabeth GRANT, Paul Fraedrich ESTES, Adam Dewayne MILLER, Kapil Kumar TUNDWAL, David Lawrence SWIFT, Gabriele MASILI, Raymond Robert RINGHISER

Publication number: 20200387567Abstract: A system and model by which to manage edits to localized versions of base-language electronic content. The model determines the likelihood of whether a modification made to a document is substantive and should be propagated back to the base electronic content and assists users in identifying these edits. The proposed method can significantly improve workflow efficiency and allow users to feel more comfortable in the development and use of their electronic content across multiple authoring platforms.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2019Publication date: December 10, 2020Applicant: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Peter Eric LOFORTE, Raymond Robert RINGHISER, Katharine Elizabeth GRANT, Kapil Kumar TUNDWAL, Paul Fraedrich ESTES, Veronica G.

Patent number: 9514099Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for a documentation system. Documentation topics for publishing in a node are received from a client. Embodiments of the disclosure determine whether the documentation topic has been assigned a topic identifier. Topic identifiers are assigned if the documentation topic has not been assigned a topic identifier and the documentation topic is assigned to at least one node in the documentation system. The documentation topics are stored in a data store and the topic identifiers are transmitted to the client. The topics are then published in at least one node of the documentation system.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2014Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Raymond Robert Ringhiser, Dylan J.
