Patent number: 10917370Abstract: Electronic communication-based storage of content items to support multiple workflows is provided. When an attached content item is received with an electronic communication, a receiving user may select the attached content item for review and editing in an immersive view pane that may be launched adjacent to or in proximity to an electronic mail viewing pane. When the received content item is edited, a copy of the edited content item is temporarily stored with the electronic communication with which the content item was received at an associated electronic communication server. When the receiving user then desires to dispose of the edited content item, for example, by replying back to the sending user with the edited content item as an attachment, the edited content item may be retrieved from the electronic communication server automatically for attachment to the responsive communication.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2019Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Joseph Masterson, Jeremy de Souza, Nathan Waddoups, Russell L. Simpson, Jr., Michael B. Palmer, Jin Ma, Elena Catrinescu, Kenneth Fern

Patent number: 10439892Abstract: Variety of approaches to optimize performance based on behavioral and situational signals are described. A productivity service initiates operations to optimize performance upon receiving a behavioral signal and/or a situational signal associated with a user. The behavioral signal and/or the situational signal are analyzed to infer a usage pattern associated with a component of an application. Next, a failure of the usage pattern is detected in a comparison to an utility threshold. In response, the application is instructed to interrupt an execution of the component.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2016Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Zohaib H Ali, Srinivasa Reddy Manda, Tao Zhang, Sirish Kumar Balaga, Christian Piccolo, Russell L. Simpson, Jr., Selvaraj Nalliah, Eduardo D. Melo, David P Limont, Kevin C Clement, Thomas W. Millett, Samuele Carpineti, Xiao Hu, Mihir S Ray, David L Meyers

Patent number: 7853590Abstract: Providing a rich user experience on a network client in which personal information management (PIM) data from a plurality of data sources is aggregated and displayed to the user. An aggregation system connects to data sources and maps attributes of PIM data in the data sources to a common object model. An object of aggregated PIM data is created according to the mapped attributes. The aggregation system generates user interface data representing the created object and sends the user interface data to the network client for rendering.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2005Date of Patent: December 14, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Russell L. Simpson, Jr., James R. Van Eaton

Patent number: 7430607Abstract: A method and system for managing one or more web requests provided to a web application from a client computer. An application is responsive to a web request to generate verification data. The application sends a reply to the client to calculate a stamp as a function of the generated verification data. The application is responsive to an additional request from the client including the calculated stamp to determine if it corresponds to the generated verification data. If the calculated stamp corresponds to the generated verification data, the additional web request is submitted to the web application for processing. A Web server subject to a DOS attack will be able to distinguish between genuine users(who generate stamps) and malicious users(who will not generate stamps) and over a period of time be able to restore service to the former and deny to the latter.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2005Date of Patent: September 30, 2008Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Gregory Allin Bolles, Radhesh Mohandas, Russell L.

Patent number: 7177949Abstract: Methods, systems, computer program products, and data structures for displaying data on a web browser interface where the data in its native format is not displayable on a web browser interface. A network server receives a request for content from a network device where the request includes a request for data that is not displayable on a web browser. The network server identifies a template, which will be used to transform non-displayable data into displayable content. The network server accesses non-displayable data that is stored on a data server and processes the accessed non-displayable data according to the identified template in order to transform it into displayable content. A template may include HTML code as well as customized tags. The customized tags are consumed by a rendering engine, which executes certain functions to modify the data, making it displayable content. Once transformed, displayable content is sent to the network device.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2005Date of Patent: February 13, 2007Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Shawn D. Bracewell, Troy Mayhan, Russell L. Simpson, Jr., Puhazholi Vetrivel, Ward Beattie
