Patent number: 9961608Abstract: Various user interfaces and other technologies for seamlessly transitioning between calls of different types can be implemented. The technologies can be implemented to give the impression of a single call that is upgraded from one call type to another. A new application can register so that an appropriate user interface control appears for activation when seamless call transition is possible. Transitioning for third party applications can thus be supported. Cross-platform implementations can be supported.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2013Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Syed Mansoor Jafry, Kerry D. Woolsey, Casey Dvorak, Tony He, Peter Bergler

Patent number: 9900423Abstract: Various user interfaces and other technologies for interacting with devices that support multiple communication lines can be implemented. Scenarios providing separate communications lines, such as voice over internet protocol (VOIP), social network communications, and the like can be supported. For example, communication-line-separated and communication-line-aggregated user interface paradigms can be supported. Intelligent selection of an appropriate paradigm can support user preferences, conversation user interfaces, and the like. Other features such as communication line defaults can help users deal with multiple communication line scenarios. A consistent, compact user interface for switching communication lines can be supported. Users can interact with their devices more efficiently and with less frustration. A wide variety of use scenarios are supported.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2016Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Tony He, Susan Chory, Gregory Howard, Peter Bergler, Lijuan Qin, Jon Arnett, Janis Jungeun Lee, Petteri Mikkola, Issa Y. Khoury

Patent number: 9439063Abstract: Various user interfaces and other technologies for interacting with devices that support multiple communication lines can be implemented. For example, intelligent handling of communication line selection can help users deal with multiple communication line scenarios. A user interface for overriding communication line selection can be supported. Users can interact with their devices more efficiently and with less frustration. A wide variety of use default communication line scenarios are supported. Communication lines can be selected based on any of a rich set of input factors.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2015Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Gregory Howard, Susan Chory, Tony He
