Patent number: 9361313Abstract: A system and method for filtering and organizing items from computer memories based on common elements is provided. Filters can be provided for manipulating the items, which serve as tools for narrowing down a set of items. The filters can be dynamically generated based on the properties of the separate items. The system can utilize virtual folders. The virtual folders can expose regular files and folders to users in different views based on their metadata instead of the actual physical underlying file system structure on the disk. Quick links can be provided, which serve as a set of predefined links (e.g., located on the left side of the display) that can be clicked on to generate useful views of the sets of items. Libraries, which can provide large groups of usable types of items that can be associated together, may also be used.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2010Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Shaun A. Kaasten, Jason F. Moore, Kenneth M. Tubbs, Relja Ivanovic, David G. De Vorchik, Richard M. Banks, Patrice L. Miner

Patent number: 8209624Abstract: A virtual address bar user interface control is presented. The virtual address bar includes a plurality of interactive segments, each segment corresponding to a predetermined filter for selecting content in a computer file system. Collectively, the interactive segments represent a virtual address for selecting content. Selecting an interactive segment in the virtual address bar causes those segments subsequent to the selected segment to be removed from the virtual address bar. A user may select a peer filter for a segment to replace that segment's current filter and removes those segments subsequent to the updated segment. The virtual address bar can be selectively configured to operate as a conventional address bar, and reconfigured to operate as a virtual address bar. Additional filter segments are added to the end of the existing filter segments. Those existing filter segments that conflict with the added segment are removed from the virtual address bar.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2007Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: J.

Publication number: 20110145282Abstract: A system and method utilizing virtual folders. The virtual folders expose regular files and folders to users in different views based on their metadata instead of the actual physical underlying file system structure on the disk. The virtual folders contain collections of items. The system includes a folder processor that obtains queries from a user and a relational database for storing information about the items. The folder processor first obtains a query from a user and passes the query to the relational database. The relational database provides results back to the folder processor, and based on the results from the relational database, the folder processor provides the results to the user as virtual folders. Users are able to work with the virtual folders through direct manipulation (e.g., clicking and dragging, copying, pasting, etc.).Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2011Publication date: June 16, 2011Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: JASON F.

Patent number: 7743022Abstract: Disclosed is a data synchronization service for use in a peer-to-peer computing environment. Selected data objects are copied onto selected computing devices. A service running on each device monitors data objects for changes. When a change is detected, the service sends a change notification to the other devices so that they can update their copies of the data object. A user can access a data object from any device, knowing that he will retrieve the latest version of the data object. Instead of incurring the costs of storing a large file on every device, a user “ghosts” the file on some devices. A ghosting device stores only metadata about the file rather than the entire file. The user accesses the file through the ghost: access requests are sent to a device that holds the actual contents, and those contents are presented to the user as if they were stored locally.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2003Date of Patent: June 22, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Shaun A. Kaasten, Jason F. Moore, Balan Sethu Raman, Chris J. Guzak, David A. Orbits, Sudarshan A. Chitre, Eric R. Flo, Jeffrey M. Saathoff
