Patent number: 11328238Abstract: A system and method for surfacing content relevant is described. The system computes a rank score for each item of a plurality of items that are accessible from a user of an enterprise application. The system identifies a set of relevant items from the plurality of items based on the rank score for each item of the plurality of items. The system surfaces the set of relevant items within a context of a communication application of the user without receiving, from the user, a query for any of the items in the set of relevant items.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2019Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Susan Marie Grimshaw, Amund Kronen Johansen, Dag Steinnes Eidesen, Amy Harilal Rambhia, Ashok Kuppusamy, Michael Francis Palermiti, II, Scott Stiles, Krister Mikalsen

Patent number: 10356031Abstract: Prioritized and categorized presentation of incoming communications is provided based on characteristics of the communications such as sender, recipients, subject, body content, recipient's past interactions, and similar ones. User or administrator defined explicit rules and configurations may be taken into consideration along with analysis results of incoming communication attributes and user history in determining a category and a priority level for the incoming communication. The incoming communication may then be presented according to the determined category and priority level along with tools for the recipient to modify automatic determinations and otherwise interact with the communication.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2016Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Vignesh Sachidanandam, Ned Bearer Friend, Hiroshi Tsukahara, Peter Loren Engrav, Scott Stiles

Patent number: 10296190Abstract: Spatial organization of communications is provided. A communication application initiates operations to present a visual representation of a communication on a two-dimensional canvas after a detected intent to do as such. In response to the intent, the visual representation is generated and displayed on the two-dimensional canvas. A detected interaction with the visual representation triggers a modification of the communication based on the interaction.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2015Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Josh Meisels, Scott Stiles, Ned Bearer Friend, Michael Borysenko, Vignesh Sachidanandam, Trevor Lacey

Publication number: 20060294469Abstract: Slide presentation files may be separated into one or more individual slide files, and the one or more individual slide files may be stored in a remote or local slide library. Stored individual slide files are populated with metadata for allowing subsequent search and location of individual slide files. A synchronization relationship may be established between a stored slide file and a copy of the stored slide file used in a slide presentation document. As updates are made to the stored slide file, a user of a copy of the stored slide file may be informed of and provided changes made to the original slide file via the synchronization relationship.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2005Publication date: December 28, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Chaitanya Sareen, Clara Graham, Erin Riley, Jennifer Sadler, Kent Lowry, Louisa Lee, RaviShankar Shanmgam, Sean McAteer, Scott Stiles
