Patent number: 8359279Abstract: Assisted clustering systems and methods are described herein that provide a user interface by which a user can easily create clusters and selectively associate data items with such clusters. Information regarding data item-cluster associations made by the user is processed by a recommendation engine to learn a clustering model. The clustering model is then be used to generate recommendations for the user regarding which unassociated data items should be associated with which clusters. In certain embodiments, after the user has determined that the clustering model is performing at a satisfactory level based on the quality of the recommendations, the user can cause the system to automatically cluster a large quantity of remaining unassociated data items. In accordance with further embodiments, a user can specify arbitrary data item types for clustering as well as features of such data types that should be considered in generating the clustering model.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2010Date of Patent: January 22, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Danyel A.

Patent number: 8346017Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates simulating a portion 2-dimensional (2D) data for implementation within a 3-dimensional (3D) virtual environment. A 3D virtual environment can enable a 3D exploration of a 3D image constructed from a collection of two or more 2D images, the 3D image is constructed by combining the two or more 2D images based upon a respective image perspective. An analyzer can evaluate the collection of two or more 2D images to identify a portion of the 3D image that is unrepresented by the combined two or more 2D images. A synthetic view generator can create a simulated synthetic view for the portion of 3D image that is unrepresented, the simulated synthetic view replicates a 2D image with a respective image perspective for the unrepresented portion of 3D image.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2008Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Blaise Aguera y Aguera, Brett D.

Publication number: 20120259788Abstract: The claimed subject matter relates to various architectures that can, inter alia, facilitate creation of a synch file as well as facilitate interpretation of the synch file. Both creation and interpretation can be accomplished in conjunction with an original media asset. The synch file can include transformation commands that can operate on a presentation of the asset rather than upon the asset itself. Accordingly, what is actually perceived by a content consumer during a presentation of the asset need not be exactly what the asset creator fixed in a tangible medium. Rather, the content consumer can observe a derivative media presentation based upon interpretation of the synch file.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 25, 2012Publication date: October 11, 2012Applicant: MICROSOFT CORPORATIONInventors: David Sebastien Alles, James E. Allard, Nicholas Robert Baker, Adam Tipton Berns, Steven Drucker, James C. Finger, Todd Eric Holmdahl, David Hendler Sloo, Curtis G. Wong, Dawson Yee

Patent number: 8194102Abstract: Techniques are described for rendering annotations associated with an image. A view of an image maybe shown on a display, and different portions of the image are displayed and undisplayed in the view according to panning and/or zooming of the image within the view. The image may have annotations. An annotation may have a location in the image and may have associated renderable media. The location of the annotation relative to the view may change according to the panning and/or zooming. A strength of the annotation may be computed, the strength changing based the panning and/or zooming of the image. The media may be rendered according to the strength. Whether to render the media may be determined by comparing the strength to a threshold.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2008Date of Patent: June 5, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Michael Cohen, Qing Luan, Steven Drucker, Johannes Kopf, Ying-Qing Xu, Matthew T.
