Publication number: 20230088796Abstract: One or more embodiments allow a user to search a gallery of digital content. In particular, a user can interact with a digital content system to search for, and identify, one or more digital content items (e.g., photos, videos, audio) within a collection of digital content. For instance, the digital content system can maintain tokens with respect to a collection of digital content and associate the tokens with digital content items within the collection of digital content. The digital content system can also provide a gallery of digital content items within a view area of a graphical user interface. Upon receiving a search query, the digital content system can identify a token and identify digital content items corresponding to the token. The digital content system can further provide a new or modified gallery within the view area of the graphical user interface based on the identified digital content items.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2022Publication date: March 23, 2023Inventors: Anthony Grue, Tom Kleinpeter, Tina Wen, Andrew Haven

Patent number: 7643491Abstract: Various embodiments can utilize a distributed solution for scheduling connections between peers in a file sharing environment. In accordance with at least some embodiments, individual nodes in a peer-to-peer system include scheduling software that enables the nodes to make scheduling decisions with regard to how, when and where connections are made with other peers. Scheduling decisions can be based on a number of different parameters. In at least some embodiments, a synchronization negotiation manager is embodied with logic that drives the negotiation and scheduling process. This logic is represented by an innovative state machine that is designed to implement the negotiation and synchronization process.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2005Date of Patent: January 5, 2010Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Dan Teodosiu, Philip A. Chou, Alexandra Heron, Cheng Huang, Tom Kleinpeter, Jin Li, Eyal Schwartz, John T Spivey, David C. Steere
