Publication number: 20200202361Abstract: A customer effort architecture that estimates customer effort, identifies the friction points and processes leading to excessive customer effort is disclosed. The framework for measuring customer effort using Customer Effort Architecture involves segmenting the KPI's into segments including Cognitive Effort, Time Effort and Emotional Effort. Cognitive effort is the amount of mental energy required to process information. Time effort is the amount of time taken to address the customer requirements. Emotional effort measures psychological parameters experienced by a customer while addressing complaints. The customer effort architecture identifies weights to all the parameters used in calculating effort score, thereby fine tuning the impact each parameter has with respect to the effort score based on business dynamics.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2020Publication date: June 25, 2020Inventor: SRIRAM SAMPATH

Patent number: 10574505Abstract: An endpoint broker to provide application launch endpoints from multiple data centers having different tenancy sets. Upon accessing a request for an application launch endpoint connection for a user, the broker selects a data center, from amongst multiple data centers that have different tenancy sets, that is to provide an endpoint in satisfaction of the request. The endpoint broker identifies an endpoint from the selected data center, and then associates the identified endpoint with the user. The user is then provided access to the identified endpoint using the association. Thus, a user is not restricted to having an endpoint from a single data center. If there are concerns with providing an endpoint from one data center, an endpoint may be provided from another data center in a manner that is transparent to the user.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2019Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Sriram Sampath, Tristan William Scott, Ido Miles Ben-Shachar, Ersev Samim Erdogan, Niraj Agarwala

Patent number: 10491682Abstract: A session-specific policy may be used to define specific configuration and operational characteristics of different types of sessions. One type of session may have one set of characteristics while a second type of session may have a different set of characteristics. The policy may be applied by a server or client, and may be propagated through an enterprise by a policy distribution management system to establish policies across multiple devices. Different session types include sessions from a local console, a remote user, a device-initiated session, a service-initiated session, and other types. Within each session type, policies may be defined for specific instances of each type. For example, different policies may be defined for different devices in a device-initiated policy.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2017Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Mahesh Lotlikar, Sriram Sampath

Patent number: 9928091Abstract: Techniques for configuring a commodity server to host virtual hard disks are disclosed herein. In an exemplary embodiment, a virtual hard disk file can be split into a plurality of differencing VHD files and one or more of the files can be downloaded to a virtualization host as it runs off the VHD files stored on the server. After the one or more VHD files are downloaded, the virtualization host can be configured to use the local copy instead of the copy on the commodity server. In addition to the foregoing, other techniques are described in the claims, the detailed description, and the figures.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2010Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Mahesh Lotlikar, Sriram Sampath, Ashwin Palekar, Olga B.

Patent number: 9870263Abstract: Terminal sessions providing remote access to functionality may be isolated from each other, as well as from the server system space, by being placed in system virtualization instances. Applications associated with terminal sessions may be allocated to system virtualization instances. In particular, system virtualization instances may be pre-instantiated, and applications may be dynamically allocated to the system virtualization instances, for example, according to a virtualization instance policy. The system virtualization instances may provide, in particular, an ability for terminal session components and associated applications to create, read, update and delete resources in a global name space of a host server without conflict, collision or other interference with each other or other server components.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2007Date of Patent: January 16, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Ara Bernardi, Sriram Sampath, John M.

Patent number: 9781229Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media are disclosed for roaming profiles and application compatibility in multi-user systems. In an embodiment, a user profile exists on a plurality of client computers. Each client computer executes a roaming profile client that intercepts a change to an application's settings. The roaming profile client sends this change to a roaming profile server that stores it. When the user profile logs on to a second client computer, the roaming profile server sends an indication of the change to a second roaming profile client on the second client computer. This roaming profile client alters the settings for the application on the second client computer such that, when the user session executes the application on the second client computer, the application reflects the change.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2015Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Nelamangal Krishnaswamy Srinivas, Ashwin Palekar, Olga B.

Patent number: 9537742Abstract: The adjustment of a number of application launch endpoint servers that may be used to service incoming connection requests. Application launch endpoints are entities, such as running code, that may be used to launch other applications. Examples of endpoints include virtual machines or sessions in a session management server. The system load associated with the incoming connection rate and number of users is monitored. In response, an add threshold and a perhaps a remove threshold is calculated. If the system load rises above the add threshold, application launch endpoint server(s) are added to the set of endpoints that can handle incoming connection requests. If the system load falls below the remove threshold, application launch endpoint server(s) are removed from to the set of endpoints. The add and remove thresholds may be calculated per tenant, and adjusted based on tenant behavior.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2013Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing LLCInventors: Munindra Nath Das, Sriram Sampath, Sergey A.

Publication number: 20160099913Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for virtualizing internet protocol (IP) addresses in terminal server sessions. Techniques include receiving requests for a virtual IP address from a client component, determining whether the requestor can use the virtual IP address, and either returning a requested virtual IP address or returning an indication that the requestor cannot use a virtual IP address. Methods for determining whether a virtual IP address can be used and methods for choosing a virtual IP address are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2015Publication date: April 7, 2016Inventors: Huei Wang, Nelamangal Krishnaswamy Srinivas, Ashwin Palekar, Olga Borisovna Ivanova, Costin Hagiu, Rouslan Beletski, Sriram Sampath, Seema J.

Patent number: 9237175Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for virtualizing internet protocol (IP) addresses in terminal server sessions. A client component comprises a layer service provider (LSP) and a name service provider (NSP) that intercept a socket call to associate a port with a socket for a terminal server session. The client component queries a server component for a virtual IP address, and the server component determines whether the terminal server session can use a virtual IP address. Where the session can use a virtual IP address, the server returns a virtual IP address and the client component binds the socket call to the virtual IP address. Where the session cannot use a virtual IP address, the server returns an indication of that, and the client component acts as a proxy for that socket call and any future calls for that socket.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2008Date of Patent: January 12, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Huei Wang, Nk Srinivas, Ashwin Palekar, Olga B.
