Patent number: 11340754Abstract: Media sets may be presented as a media presentation (e.g., a slideshow or a thumbnail set), but many such presentations exhaust the attention of a user, particularly for large media sets. Instead, ratings may be identified that represents the relevance or interest of respective media objects of the media set to the user. These ratings may be identified explicitly by the user or automatically detected (e.g., by assessing image quality or monitoring user interactions with respective media objects). A zoomable media presentation of the media set may first present only media objects having a high rating, and upon zooming in near a media object, may insert, near the zoomed media object, one or more media objects associated with the zoomed media object and having a lower rating. This presentation therefore hierarchically organizes the media set, and utilizes zoom operations as a “drill-down” metaphor within the hierarchy of the media set.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2021Date of Patent: May 24, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Sander Martijn Viegers, Daniel Rosenstein

Patent number: 10579723Abstract: A graphical user interface for creating a data summary table includes a field pane including a list of a plurality of fields, and a layout pane including a plurality of zones. The zones represent areas of the data summary table, and the layout pane allows a field of the plurality of fields from the field pane to be added to a first zone of the zones. A data summary table is updated upon the field being added to the layout pane.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2016Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Allan Folting, Konrad Tupaj, Brandon Weber, Denise Cathleen Carlevato, Sander Martijn Viegers

Patent number: 8667420Abstract: Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for presenting and browsing hierarchical data. A hierarchical chart is displayed with a primary entity being displayed in a center region of the display. One or more peers to the primary entity are displayed along a horizontal axis in comparison to the primary entity. One or more parents to the primary entity are displayed above the primary entity, and one or more children to the primary entity are displayed beneath the primary entity. A method for performing searches against a hierarchical chart is also described. Input is received for a name to search for in a hierarchical chart. A filter criteria selection is received. A search is performed against the hierarchical chart to find one or more matching records that match the name and the filter criteria. The one or more matching records are displayed, with at least a name and photo.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2008Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Benoit Schmitlin, Sander Martijn Viegers, Chris Edwards
