Patent number: 10708374Abstract: Techniques for enabling notification from a network resource are described. In at least some embodiments, a user subscribes to receive notifications from a network resource, such as a website, a web-based resource, and so forth. The network resource can provide notifications to a client device of the user, such as a push notification indicating that content is available from the network resource. Based on the push notification, content from the network resource can be presented on the client device, such as in a notification indicator presented on the client device and associated with the network resource.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2018Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Cheuk Wan William Lau, Robert M.

Patent number: 9973589Abstract: Techniques for enabling a push notification from a website are described. In at least some embodiments, a push notification generally represents a way for a website to push information to a client device. For instance, a push notification may include content (e.g., text, images, video, audio, and so forth) that a website pushes to a client device. The content can be output via the client device, e.g., independently of an output of the website itself. According to one or more embodiments, a push notification channel is generated that enables notifications to be pushed from a website to a client device. Generally, a push notification channel represents a set of attributes and procedures that enable notifications to be securely and accurately pushed from a website to a client device.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2017Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Cheuk Wan William Lau, Robert M.
