Patent number: 8395643Abstract: Dynamically magnifying search results and enabling motion-based review of the search results. The user enters a query to search the content of a document. As the characters of the query are entered by the user, the search results are identified and magnified such that all the search results after any given input character are visible in the user interface. The user advances through the search results by moving the computing device in a predefined manner. In an embodiment, the user searches the content of a web page rendered in a browser executing on a mobile computing device such as a telephone.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2008Date of Patent: March 12, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Randal James Ramig, Seana Seraji, Scott Andrew Borton

Patent number: 8225403Abstract: A security element is displayed that provides information to a user to help ensure that they are not confused or misled into believing that content originates from a trusted source when in fact it does not. The security element shows the user the source of the content and is displayed in such a manner that the source of the content is easily viewable. For example, according to one embodiment, the security element is shown within the title bar of a window. The security element may also be temporarily shown. Providing the user with more information about the site being accessed helps them to make an intelligent decision about their browsing experience. The security element includes at least part of a domain name that identifies the source of the content. The security element may also include the entire domain name. For example, the security element may overlay the screen.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2005Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Diane L. Curtis, Seana Seraji, Vinoo Cherian, Aaron Filner, Randal J. Ramig

Patent number: 7990388Abstract: Methods and systems of verifying an animation applied in a mobile device may include a timer module that is programmed to time-slice the animation into multiple scenes at predetermined time points along a timeline of the animation. A first capture module is programmed to capture actual data of each scene at each of the time points while the animation is running. A first comparison module is programmed to compare the actual data of each scene with expected data of the corresponding scene to determine whether the actual data of each scene matches the expected data of the corresponding scene. A first output module is programmed to generate a verification failure if the actual data of any scene does not match the expected data of the corresponding scene, and generate a verification success if the actual data of each scene matches the expected data of the corresponding scene.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2008Date of Patent: August 2, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Tychaun Eric Grimes Jones, Pablo Candelas Gonzalez, Chen-Wen Lin, Seana Seraji, William Suckow, Jonathan Vincent

Publication number: 20060277478Abstract: A determination is made as to when to display and hide obstructive user interface elements. Obstructive user interface elements are removed from the display when not needed by the user and displayed when needed by the user. When the obstructive interface elements are removed from the display, the user has more viewable area that is not obstructed. For example, in some browser applications, when the title bar, address bar and menu bar are removed, the user is provided with a view that shows much more of the web page. When the obstructive user interface elements are needed, they are temporarily displayed on the device. Once the task has been completed, the obstructive user elements are then hidden again automatically, which allows the user to continue viewing in full screen mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 2, 2005Publication date: December 7, 2006Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Seana Seraji, Aaron Filner, Jay McLain, Randal Ramig, Vinoo Cherian
