Patent number: 11915013Abstract: An operating system service for persistently executing programs comprises a registration service configured to register a manifest defining a persistence mode of a user-controllable program. The operating system service further comprises a runtime service configured, based on the persistence mode defined via the manifest, to detect and reject termination requests for the program, and to detect that the program has terminated and restart execution of the program.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: John James Vintzel, Sarjana Sheth Mitra

Publication number: 20220405658Abstract: Technologies are disclosed for machine learning assisted automation of workflows based on observation of user interaction with operating system (OS) platform features. User interaction data is collected that defines the activity of a user with respect to platform features provided by an OS. The user interaction data is provided to a trained machine learning model that is configured to identify a workflow for performing a task based on the user interaction data. If the trained machine learning model identifies a relevant workflow, a user interface (UI) can be presented to the user that includes data identifying the workflow selected by the trained machine learning model. The UI can also include an element which, when selected, will cause the computing device to execute the workflow selected by the trained machine learning model based on the user interaction data.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2022Publication date: December 22, 2022Inventors: Sarjana Sheth MITRA, Ieva BURK, Mythili MURUGANATHAN

Publication number: 20220351065Abstract: Technologies for machine learning assisted discovery and instantiation of operating system (OS)-provided features are disclosed. User activity data is collected that defines the activity of a user with respect to a computing device. The user activity data is provided to a trained machine learning model that is configured to predict an OS-provided feature that is relevant to a current activity of the user as indicated by the user activity data. If the trained machine learning model identifies an OS-provided feature that is relevant to the current activity of the user, a user interface (UI) can be presented to the user that includes data identifying the OS-provided feature selected by the trained machine learning model. The UI can also include an element which, when selected, will cause the computing device to execute the OS-provided feature selected by the trained machine learning model based on the user activity data.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2021Publication date: November 3, 2022Inventor: Sarjana Sheth MITRA

Patent number: 10936296Abstract: A system and method for providing automated software updates during an upgrade of an operating system for a computing device. When a computing device is scheduled to undergo an operating system upgrade event, users typically must follow up to ensure software stored on the device is also compatible with the new operating system configuration. The disclosed systems provide a mechanism by which a cloud-based service manages a fully automated software update process for the user that will occur concurrently with the operating system upgrade event.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2019Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventor: Sarjana Sheth Mitra

Patent number: 10713028Abstract: A computer device is provided that includes a processor and non-volatile memory including stored instructions executable by the processor, the stored instructions being configured to cause the processor to execute an operating system including an application programming interface for an on-demand installer that is callable by installed application programs during run-time. The on-demand installer is configured to receive a request from an application program to install a target resource package of the application program, query an installer server that is a source of an application program package of the application program to retrieve the target resource package from the installer server, and install the target resource package of the application program.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2018Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Jonathan D. Wiswall, Sarjana Sheth Mitra, John James Vintzel

Publication number: 20190384585Abstract: A client computing device, including a processor and non-volatile memory. The non-volatile memory may store instructions that cause the processor to receive an application program package. The application program package may include an application program package binary file and an application program package manifest file. The processor may install the application program package in the non-volatile memory at a file system location indicated in the application program package manifest file. The processor may receive a modification package including a modification package binary file and a modification package manifest file. The modification package manifest file may indicate the file system location. The processor may install the modification package in the non-volatile memory. Installing the modification package may include modifying the application program package binary file and/or the application program package manifest file based on the modification package binary file.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2018Publication date: December 19, 2019Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Sarjana Sheth MITRA, John James VINTZEL
