Patent number: 10817132Abstract: A three-dimensional model can be presented in a two-dimensional digital canvas on a computer display. User input directed at the three-dimensional model in the two-dimensional canvas can be received. The three-dimensional model can be manipulated in response to the user input. A two-dimensional view of the three-dimensional model can be displayed. Corresponding data structures for the model, the canvas, and the two-dimensional objects in the data structure can be maintained and updated. One or more additional techniques can also be utilized in a computer system, such as continuous user-controlled model rotation in a two-dimensional canvas; viewport autofit and non-autofit modes; rotating the model around a camera look-at point; ghosting outside the viewport; normalizing modeling units and values; preset buttons with on-button previews; user-defined view presets; and/or two-dimensional image substitution.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2019Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Adam Ross Le Doux, Alexandre Gueniot, Bharat Kumar Ahuja, Jie Li, Jordan Krissi, Matthew William Kernek, Michael Alexander Fuller, Onur Onder, Ramya Tridandapani, Constance Worsfold Gervais, Garrett William Brown, Michael Jay Gilmore, Tyler Robert Adams, Thomas R.

Patent number: 10664980Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and software for vector graphics object handling in computing environments are provided herein. In one example, an object handling service for a user application is provided that identifies an object in a scalable vector graphics format for import into the user application, parses a description of the object in the scalable vector graphics format to determine shape components that comprise the object, and iterates through each of the shape components to generate freeform shape primitives that recreates the object into a native object description of the user application.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2017Date of Patent: May 26, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Ancuta Irina Zaharia, Matthew James Wagner, Haitao He, Jie Li, Stephanie Lorraine Horn, Constance Worsfold Gervais, Bitan Deb, Bharat Kumar Ahuja, Zhiying Guo

Patent number: 10452747Abstract: The Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) standard defines a way to describe two-dimensional graphics within the extensible markup language (XML) that can be interpreted by multiple programs. The SVG standard, however, lacks native support for several user experience features, such as look and feel settings (e.g., themes) that affect multiple objects within a document. The present disclosure, however, teaches how an SVG object may be made theme-aware and still comply with the SVG standard so that it is portable between files and applications that apply the present disclosure and those that do not. By enabling the dynamic updating of SVG objects, the benefits to the user experience and computer efficiency associated with standardized vector graphics and the document-wide application of look and feel settings can be realized without deviating from the SVG standard.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2016Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Haitao He, Stephanie Lorraine Horn, Thomas Roland Mignone, Matthew William Kernek, Ancuta Irina Zaharia

Publication number: 20160364429Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed in which a self-describing file is generated and utilized to provide applications with the ability to properly preserve unknown file content. A self-describing file may contain, or be associated with, an extension section that provides information that an application can use to properly calculate unknown file content. The extension section may include functions of formulas that the application can use to calculate values for data that the application would not otherwise support. This allows for the content of the self-describing file to be modified by an application that does not support all of the capabilities of the file while maintaining the integrity of the file and user experience when the file is subsequently accessed by a full featured application.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 13, 2016Publication date: December 15, 2016Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Daniel Clay, Michael Woolf, Matthew Dorbin, Stephanie Lorraine Horn
