Patent number: 10764715Abstract: Described is a technology by which a mobile computing device such as a mobile telephone operates differently based on detected proximity to another mobile device with which the first mobile device has a defined relationship. For example, the first mobile device may transfer content to the second mobile computing device when proximity corresponds to a non-cellular communications coupling, such as Bluetooth® or Wi-Fi coupling. In this manner, content transfer is deferred until a non-cellular coupling exists. The mobile device (or both devices) may output a notification to indicate that the other mobile computing device has been detected within a threshold proximity, such as via GPS data or by being within the same cellular tower. The type and/or settings of an output notification may vary based on different thresholds.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2018Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Difei Tang, Sin Lew, Wei Hun Liew, Kong-Kat Wong, Sun H.

Publication number: 20100332496Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates accessing information content based at least in part on relevancy to a user by leveraging user ambitions. User ambitions can take the form of to-do lists, calendar items, goals, or interests. These can be leveraged with or without contextual information, historical data, user profiles, and the like to determine the relevancy of content to a specific user. This can facilitate determining what content is accessible to a user based on relevance. A threshold relevance level can be dynamically adjusted.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2009Publication date: December 30, 2010Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: Eric Horvitz, Brett Brewer, Melissa W. Dunn, Janet Galore, Abhiram G. Khune, Sin Lew, Timothy D. Sharpe
