Patent number: 11120639Abstract: A computer system is provided that includes one or more processors configured to define a virtual model of a workspace that is world-locked to a three-dimensional environment by a pair of anchor points. The one or more processors are configured to adjust a fit of the virtual model to the workspace by adjusting a position of a virtual component of the virtual model relative to the pair of anchor points. The one or more processors are configured to receive telemetry data including position information indicating a location of a telemetry event relative to the pair of anchor points in the workspace, and determine a visualization model based on the virtual model of the workspace, and project telemetry data to the visualization model based on a mapping of a pair of points in the visualization model to the pair of anchor points in the virtual model.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2020Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Jesse MacDonald Smith, Eric Charles Youngstrom, Jeremy Brent Jackson, Nicholas James Pavlovsky, Jason John Fierst, Daniel Taylor Rosas, George Oliver Johnston, Ted Tai-Yu Chen

Patent number: 10969935Abstract: An Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven content generation system is configured to interact with and inject user inputs into the decision-making process to navigate the user through the boundless creative space offered by content generation algorithms powered by AI. A content generation application may generate an initial collection of artifacts (e.g., multimedia) for exposure to a user, which may be generated based on user input, context awareness, or randomly generated. Responsive to user selection of one of the initial artifacts, a subsequent collection of artifacts is generated based on characteristics of the selected artifact. The generative process is recursive in that the generative application and the user continue to interact until the user decides to use one of the generated artifacts. The generative process enables the user to navigate the virtually infinite creative space of artifacts which may be generated by AI algorithms.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2018Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Thomas Charles Butcher, Eric Paul Nichols, Mark Fenwick Wheeler, Ted Tai-Yu Chen, George Valavanis, Wesley Hodgson, Ines Khelifi

Patent number: 9665702Abstract: In embodiments of restricted execution modes, a mobile device can display a device lock screen on an integrated display device, and transition from the device lock screen to display a shared space user interface of a shared space. The transition to display the shared space user interface is without receiving a PIN code entered on the device lock screen. The mobile device implements a restricted execution service that is implemented to activate a restricted execution mode of the mobile device, and restrict access of a device application to device content while the restricted execution mode is activated. The restricted execution service can also allow a shared device application that is included in the shared space access to the device content while the restricted execution mode is activated.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2015Date of Patent: May 30, 2017Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Joseph Spencer King, Michael Burt Goulding, Todd Myles Derksen, Aaron Naoyoshi Sheung Yan Woo, Bernardo Iturriaga Dubost, Alan Bennett Auerbach, David A.
