Publication number: 20140208229Abstract: Described are embodiments for displaying groups of communications, such as messages, as a conversation. Conversations are groups of communications that can be traced back as related to an original communication. The embodiments allow a user to select a conversation mode for displaying communications, e.g., messages, as conversations. In response to the user's selection, embodiments provide for displaying a graphical element associated with a conversation. The graphical element can be selected to display the messages associated with the conversation. Additionally, embodiments provide for selecting a conversation and applying actions to the conversation, resulting in the application of the action to the messages that are associated with the conversation.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2014Publication date: July 24, 2014Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Selvaraj Nalliah, Shivakumar Seetharaman, Salman Zafar, John Allen Atwood, David P.

Publication number: 20140171129Abstract: Enhanced input field features and techniques for displaying and resolving location information in meeting items are provided. In response to a user's interaction with a place name displayed in the location field of a user interface for a meeting item, up to date information is retrieved about the location associated with the place name from a web service and displayed. The display can include a map image tile. In addition to enabling the displaying of up to date information, during creation of the meeting item, the location input field of a meeting item can present location suggestions from within the location input field, for example, as a drop-down listing of possible locations. The suggestions for completing a user's input text string to the location input field can be obtained from sources such as a web service, a mailbox, a managed database/directory service, a history cache/database or a combination thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2012Publication date: June 19, 2014Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Danilo L.

Patent number: 8499052Abstract: In embodiments, mobile devices request and utilize recipient caches. Recipient caches store information regarding previous recipients of communications. The information on recipients includes when the recipient was last contacted and the frequency with which a recipient is contacted. In embodiments, a mobile device requests a recipient cache from a server. When a user types a string of text, the mobile device then uses the recipient cache as well as the contacts and emails on the mobile device and resolves a recipient list. In other embodiments, a recipient cache on a server is updated when a mobile device sends a message with new recipient information. In another embodiment, a server resolves conflicting messages by using recipient information.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2012Date of Patent: July 30, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Patrick Tousignant, Selvaraj Nalliah, Shivakumar Seetharaman, Salman Zafar, John Allen Atwood, Gregory Bolles, Juan Vicente Esteve Balducci, Kevin Resnick

Publication number: 20130117805Abstract: Techniques to apply and share remote policies on personal devices are described. In an embodiment, a technique includes contacting an enterprise server from an enterprise application operating on a personal device. The enterprise application may receive policies from the enterprise server. The policies may be applied to the enterprise application. When a second enterprise application on the personal device is launched, the policies may also be applied to the second enterprise application. When a policy is changed on the enterprise server, notification is pushed to the personal device and all related enterprise applications on the personal device may be updated to enforce the policy change. Other embodiments are described and claimed.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2011Publication date: May 9, 2013Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Jonathan Kent, Michael Hamler, Shivakumar Seetharaman, Gregory Bolles

Patent number: 7984161Abstract: Embodiments are provided for synchronizing data retrieval with multiple data sources on a mobile computing device while maintaining a predetermined quality of service and optimizing resource usage. A connection is established between the mobile computing device and the multiple data sources for a first synchronization interval. A synchronization request is sent over the connection during the first interval. A response to the request including data is received from a data source during the first interval to synchronize the data. After the data is received, the connection to the data source is severed. The connection between the mobile computing device and the data source is then re-established for a second synchronization interval based on quality of service parameters associated with the data source and a pending connection status associated with one or more additional data sources. Another synchronization request is then sent by the mobile computing device over the re-established connection.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2009Date of Patent: July 19, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Juan V.

Publication number: 20080294728Abstract: An autodiscovery service for clients in an electronic messaging system is disclosed. Client devices in the system request messaging system configuration settings from an autodiscover server. Clients may derive the address of the autodiscover server from user input, such as an email address, or the address may be obtained by other means. The autodiscover server responds to the request with settings for that client. The settings requested may include addresses of electronic mail servers and other servers that provide client services. The autodiscover server may determine the settings for the client based on various criteria, including client location and user mailbox location. Third party servers may participate in the autodiscovery service, and addresses of third party servers may be included in the settings provided to the client devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2007Publication date: November 27, 2008Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Karim Michel Batthish, Rafiq El Alami, Vladimir Grebenik, Juan Pablo Muraira, Harvey Rook, Shivakumar Seetharaman, Paul Tischhauser
