Publication number: 20230007004Abstract: An account provisioning manager is disclosed. A placeholder account is generated with a primary work set attribute and a plurality of enhanced work set attributes. Initially, the primary work set attribute is populated with data to convert the placeholder account into an onboarded operating account. Subsequently, the plurality of enhanced work set attributes are populated via data propagation into the onboarded operating account, wherein an enhanced work set attribute of the plurality of enhanced work set attributes is selectively populated in response to a trigger for the onboarded operating account.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2021Publication date: January 5, 2023Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Steve Ball, Justin Anthony Niles, Muhammad Omer Iqbal, Sadie Elise Henry, Sangeeta Ranjit, Sarat Chandra Subramaniam, Michael Vincent McLaughlin, Rachel Anne Brown Teller

Patent number: 10572639Abstract: A computing device is described that selectively displays or suppresses personalized information on a lock screen based on the results of a biometric user authentication process. In embodiments, a measure of confidence that a user of the computing device is an authorized user is determined based on biometric data collected by one or more biometric sensors. If it is determined that the measure of confidence satisfies a criterion, then personal information associated with the user is selectively rendered to the lock screen while the computing device is in the locked state. If it determined that the measure of confidence does not satisfy the criterion, then such personal information may be suppressed from the lock screen. The application of the foregoing technique to selectively provide or deny access to certain functionality of the computing device via the lock screen is also described.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2016Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Sangeeta Ranjit, Craig T. McIntyre, Kanna Ramasubramanian, Peter Dawoud Shenouda Dawoud

Patent number: 10264039Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to file system placeholders. In aspects, placeholders may be used by a client to represent remote file system objects. The placeholders may include metadata and may also include none, some, or all of the content of the represented remote file system objects. In response to a request to access content of a file system object represented by a placeholder, a client may obtain needed data from a remote storage system and stream or not stream the data to the requesting application based on whether the requesting application is capable of streaming the data.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2016Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Michael John Novak, Chris Guzak, Sangeeta Ranjit, Scott David Hoogerwerf, Amnon Itamar Govrin, Kiernon Reiniger, David C. Fields, Ramanarayanan Ramani, Raghu Krishnamurhty, Subha Santhanam, Oded Yehuda Shekel

Patent number: 9734158Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to file system placeholders. In aspects, placeholders may be used by a client to represent remote file system objects. The placeholders may include metadata, searchable text, and may also include none, some, or all of the content of the represented remote file system objects. Search data from the placeholders is integrated into a local search database of the client such that the client is able to satisfy queries and identify relevant local and remote file system objects even when the client is offline with respect to remote storage.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2015Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Michael John Novak, Chris Guzak, Sangeeta Ranjit, Scott David Hoogerwerf, Amnon Itamar Govrin, Marc Wautier, Kiernon Reiniger, Kyle Thomas Beck, Relja Ivanovic, Oded Yehuda Shekel, Tyler Kien Beam

Patent number: 9552363Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to file system placeholders. In aspects, placeholders may be used by a client to represent remote file system objects. The placeholders may include metadata and may also include none, some, or all of the content of the represented remote file system objects. In conjunction with local file system metadata, the placeholders allow a file system namespace to be navigated and may also allow other operations to be performed on the file system objects even when the client is offline with respect to the remote file system. After connectivity is re-established with the remote file system, the placeholders may be used in synchronizing changes.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2013Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Michael John Novak, Chris Guzak, Sangeeta Ranjit, Scott David Hoogerwerf, Amnon Itamar Govrin, Marc Wautier, Kiernon Reiniger, Ramanarayanan Ramani, Oded Yehuda Shekel, Relja Ivanovic
