Patent number: 9760255Abstract: Mechanisms are described herein for propagating a theme definition from a host application to a host extension so that the host application and the host extension are visually consistent. A theme definition may be updated after a theme change event occurs as a result of a user interacting with the host application. The theme definition may then be utilized by the host extension to update one or more UI elements presented by the host extension to enable visual consistency.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2014Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Juan Gabriel Balmori Labra, Rajanikanth Naduppalayam Thandavan, Jiajun Hua, Daniel Mark Saunders, Amit Mohindra, Andrew Salamatov, Humberto Lezama Guadarrama, Runzhen Huang, Rennan Garrett Broussard, Peter Gene Wu, Gabriel Royer, Michael J.

Patent number: 9305385Abstract: An animation timeline is analyzed to determine one or more discrete states. Each discrete state includes one or more animation effects. The discrete states represent scenes of a slide in a slide presentation. The concepts of scenes allows user to view a timeline of scenes, open a scene, and direct manipulate objects in the scene to author animations. The animations can include motion path animation effects, which can be directly manipulated utilizing a motion path tweening method. To aid in direct manipulation of a motion path of an object, a ghost version of the object can be shown to communicate to a user the position of the object after a motion path animation effect that includes the motion path is performed. The ghost version may also be used to show a start position when a start point is manipulated.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2011Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Christopher Michael Maloney, Mirza Pasalic, Runzhen Huang

Patent number: 8836706Abstract: A request may be received to trigger an animation action in response to reaching a bookmark during playback of a media object. In response to the request, data is stored defining a new animation timeline configured to perform the animation action when playback of the media object reaches the bookmark. When the media object is played back, a determination is made as to whether the bookmark has been encountered. If the bookmark is encountered, the new animation timeline is started, thereby triggering the specified animation action. An animation action may also be added to an animation timeline that triggers a media object action at a location within a media object. When the animation action is encountered during playback of the animation timeline, the specified media object action is performed on the associated media object.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2008Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Jason Xiaobo Zhao, Jeffrey Chao-Nan Chen, Barn-Wan Li, Runzhen Huang
