Patent number: 10108615Abstract: Automated presentation of repeated content is provided herein. Using historic documents, an index of repeatedly-used content blocks is created. As a user authors a current document, the authoring application is in communication with a trigger analyzer that receives edits and authoring commands from the user. The trigger analyzer compares the edits and authoring commands to the indexed content blocks, and creates previews of potential matches from the index of repeated content that are provided to the user. Depending on user preferences and application settings, these previews are presented to the user as selectable controls in a graphical user interface. If the user selects a preview, the content block associated with the preview is transmitted to the current document for insertion therein. The present disclosure improves the user experience, reduces the use of bandwidth, memory, and processing power to reuse content between documents.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2016Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLC.Inventors: James Squires Masson, Shikha Devesh Desai, Theresa Ann Estrada, Michelle Elena Keslin, Ruth Kikin-Gil

Patent number: 9922022Abstract: Automatic generation of a document template based on recognized composition element patterns in documents associated with a user is provided. Composition elements used in documents are typically unique to a particular user or to a group of users. An automated template generation system detects composition element patterns in documents associated with the user, and generates and provides one or more useful and relevant templates comprising composition elements consistent with subsets of composition elements used in previously created documents. Generating a document template based on composition element patterns in documents associated with the user improves the user experience, reduces the use of bandwidth, memory, and processing power to reuse composition elements between documents. Additionally, providing user-relevant templates helps to ensure consistency across documents created by the user.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2016Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLC.Inventors: James Squires Masson, Shikha Devesh Desai, Theresa Ann Estrada, Michelle Elena Keslin, Yu Been Lee, Allison Anne Whilden, Enrique J.

Patent number: 9792665Abstract: Real time feedback during move, resize or rotate actions in an electronic document is provided. During live drag actions, the layout shown during the action may be the layout produced when the object is dropped. Detection of slow performance of an application and aborting a redraw action as needed may be provided. A visual indication may be provided for helping users to see that an action is in progress, and thereby removing a perception that the application is failing to respond properly. Determining if a figure will not land in a current cursor/touch point position in a move action and a visual indication to help the user see where and why the figure may jump to a new location may also be provided. In addition, determining an attachment point for an object on a page comprising a table may also be provided.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2015Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Anton Sukhanov, Theresa Ann Estrada, Nupur Agarwal, Manuel David Ruiz
