Patent number: 10846526Abstract: Non-limiting examples of the present disclosure describe transformation of content of a digital document on behalf of a user of an application/service. Examples describes herein extend to instances where an existing digital document (e.g. content portion) is transformed as well as examples where templatized transformations are used to create a digital document. As an example, content of a digital document may be converted into preset document format representations which are generated and suggested automatically to the user through a user interface of a productivity service or through an alternative modality (e.g. message, email, notification, etc.). This improves processing efficiency of computing devices associated with productivity services, for example, by enabling efficient digital document management through proactive contextual analysis, reducing the number of processing operations for users in real-time and reducing latency at run-time, among other examples.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2017Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Maria Carpenter, Shikha Devesh Desai, Robin Wakefield, Rebecca Poulson, Maria del Mar Gines Marin

Patent number: 10204080Abstract: Rich formatting may be provided for rich data labels. A rich data label may be created for at least one data point associated with a visualization. The data label may be formatted and displayed on the visualization. The rich data label may bind to a particular data point rather than adhering to conventional index-based anchor logic where a data label is bound to the index of a data point. Accordingly, in response to determining that the location of the data point has changed in the visualization, the location of the rich data label is automatically adjusted to remain attached to its original data point.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2015Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Christopher Doan, Benjamin Edward Rampson, Robin Wakefield

Patent number: 10019494Abstract: Data mapping alternatives for creating a visual representation of a set of data are presented. A set of data is identified for analysis. The identified set of data and properties associated with the identified set of data are analyzed. Based on the analysis, data mapping alternatives for the identified set of data are determined. The determined data mapping alternatives for the identified set of data are ranked. The determined data mapping alternatives are presented in an order according to the ranking of the determined data mapping alternatives.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2015Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Kevin Fan, Benjamin Edward Rampson, Nick Chiang, Robin Wakefield

Publication number: 20150212981Abstract: Technologies are generally provided for enabling the viewing and editing the printed output of a document consistently in web-based application while a printed output of the document looks the same across different browsers as well as desktop client applications. A print view of a document handled by a server hosting the web-based application may be generated at the server, updated as edits are made to the document, and provided to a requesting browser or desktop client application such that the print view is consistent across multiple browsers and the client application.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2014Publication date: July 30, 2015Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Robin Wakefield, Albert Chen
