Patent number: 9606989Abstract: Multiple language inputs may be provided to various applications programs and/or threads in a computer system. Such inputs may be directed to various software systems on the computer for further processing, wherein the software systems provide language-specific processing. Each application program and/or thread within an application program accessible by the computer may have a different selected input language. More specifically, systems, methods, and computer-readable media for this process may include: (a) determining an input language for a first application program accepting input through a computer; and (b) selecting at least one software system capable of accepting or operating on at least some of the input based, at least in part, on the input language determined for the first application program. In some examples, the input language of various software systems on the computer may be tied to the input language of another software system, such as the soft keyboard.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2013Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Joshua Clow, Ravipal Soin, Robert A. Dain, Michael S. Kaplan, Wei Wu

Patent number: 8479112Abstract: Multiple language inputs may be provided to various applications programs and/or threads in a computer system. Such inputs may be directed to various software systems on the computer for further processing, wherein the software systems provide language-specific processing. Each application program and/or thread within an application program active on or accessible by the computer may have a different selected input language. More specifically, systems, methods, and computer-readable media for this process may include: (a) determining an input language for a first application program accepting input through a computer; and (b) selecting at least one software system capable of accepting or operating on at least some of the input based, at least in part, on the input language determined for the first application program. The software system(s) may include at least one member selected from the group of: a soft keyboard generator, a handwriting recognizer, and a speech recognizer.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2003Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Joshua Clow, Ravipal Soin, Robert A.

Patent number: 7498326Abstract: Piperidine derivatives and pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives thereof useful in methods of treatment of bacterial infections in mammals, particularly in man. The piperidine derivatives include compounds of formula (I): wherein RA, AB, n, R3, R2 and R4 are defined herein. For example, RA is an optionally substituted bicyclic carbocyclic or heterocyclic ring system, and R4 is a group U-R5 in which R5 is an optionally substituted bicyclic heterocyclic ring system as defined herein (e.g. optionally substituted pyrido [3,2, -b][1,4] thiazin-yl).Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2003Date of Patent: March 3, 2009Assignee: Glaxo Group LimitedInventors: Jeffrey Michael Axten, Robert A Daines, David Thomas Davies, Timothy Francis Gallagher, Graham Elgin Jones, William Henry Miller, Neil David Pearson, Israil Pendrak

Patent number: 7292727Abstract: Described is electronic ink maintained as a software object, thereby associating ink functionality with electronic ink data. The ink may be separated into words or characters, with one object per word or character. By the associated functionality, applications that deal with embedded objects in general can automatically benefit from electronic ink, including having the object's functionality render the ink data as part the application's document. Further, because the ink data is maintained as an object, the data is automatically persisted in association with the document into which it is embedded. Ink-aware applications may call on methods of the electronic ink object to adjust formatting, search recognized ink along with text, and perform other functions. Via the electronic ink object, electronic ink substantially approaches much of the behavior normally available with text data, without requiring applications to interpret the ink data.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2006Date of Patent: November 6, 2007Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Erik M. Geidl, Robert A. Dain, Donald D. Karlov
