Patent number: 11423095Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for providing action-recommendations (e.g., save action, collaboration action, and upload action) using cloud system operations in a cloud system. For example, action-recommendations are predicted using usage data of applications and communicated to a user (e.g., via a prompt) such that the user elects to perform or not perform the action-recommendation. In operation, usage data for an application and an action-recommendation profile are accessed. Determining that an action-recommendation should be generated is based on the usage data and the action-recommendation profile. The determination is further based on action scores and thresholds (e.g., save action, collaboration action, upload action). When the action scores meet certain thresholds, the action-recommendation is generated as a save-action-recommendation, a collaboration-action-recommendation, or an upload-action-recommendation.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2020Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: William N.

Publication number: 20220149448Abstract: A shareable battery pack for a portable ultrasonic apparatus, a trolley, a power supply system, and a portable ultrasonic system. The trolley can be connected to the portable ultrasonic apparatus and/or the shareable battery pack to supply power so as to extend operation time. Alternatively, the trolley is used to support the portable ultrasonic apparatus and/or the shareable battery pack without supplying power to extend operation time. In an embodiment, the shareable battery pack can be removed from the trolley, and then be fixedly connected to the portable ultrasonic apparatus to form an integral unit and serve as an external battery for the portable ultrasonic apparatus. Such design enables the portable ultrasonic apparatus to have extended operation time without relying on the trolley and requires only one shareable battery pack in special situations, thereby enhancing convenience of use.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2022Publication date: May 12, 2022Inventors: Xujin HE, Rui HU, Zewei TAN, Yuting SHAO, Zhiwu CHEN, Yanjiao CHEN

Patent number: 11138211Abstract: A system for determining qualified contributors of a document is provided. A system can analyze user activities associated with a document to provide meaningful insights indicating the key contributors of the document based on a contributor policy. The contributor policy defines contribution factors and criteria that is used to determine when a user is deemed as a qualified contributor. The contribution factors can be used in an analysis of one or more user activities to determine a contribution score for each user associated with a document. The contribution scores of the users can be compared with a threshold to identify qualified contributors.

Publication number: 20200296510Abstract: Sound devices such as hearing aids and headphones configured for intelligent information capturing are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a sound device is a hearing aid or a noise-canceling headphone. The sound device includes a microphone, a speaker, a processor, and a memory containing a set of sound models each corresponding to a known sound. Upon receiving a digital sound signal representing an ambient sound captured via the microphone, the sound device can determine whether the digital sound signal includes a signal profile that matches the sound signature of one of the sound models stored in the memory. In response to determining that the digital sound signal has a signal profile that matches the sound signature of one of the sound models, the sound device can output, via the speaker, an audio message to the user identifying the known sound while suppressing the captured ambient sound from the environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2019Publication date: September 17, 2020Inventors: Sharon Hang Li, Xiangcheng Kong, Chi Hang Nguy, Alperen Kok, John Hoegger, Rui Hu, Tomasz Religa
