Patent number: 10270666Abstract: A network map of an individual's implicit and explicit people relationships across multiple workloads is provided. Relationships between people may be leveraged and ranking for people relationships may be performed based on activities across multiple workloads. People relationships may be displayed in the network map to provide a visual understanding of relationships and connections. Navigation to any person represented in the network map may be enabled, and commonalities in relationships between a navigating user and a given person navigated to in the network map may be exposed. Trending items and activity streams for a person or group of persons may be shown in the network map.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2016Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Viral Shah, Berit Herstad, Vikramjeet Singh Jassal, Alexander Kempton, Ståle Sørensen, Sveinar Rasmussen, Alexander Distel, Zoran Dovedan, Ivan Dijan

Patent number: 10261873Abstract: A failure resistant distributed computing system includes primary and secondary datacenters each comprising a plurality of computerized servers. A control center selects orchestrations from a predefined list and transmits the orchestrations to the datacenters. Transmitted orchestrations include less than all machine-readable actions necessary to execute the orchestrations. The datacenters execute each received orchestration by referencing a full set of actions corresponding to the received orchestration as previously stored or programmed into the computerized server and executing the referenced full set of actions. At least one of the orchestrations comprises a failover operation from the primary datacenter to the secondary datacenter.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2016Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: SERVICENOW, INC.Inventors: Sridhar Chandrashekar, Swapnesh Patel, Viral Shah, Anurag Garg, Anjali Chablani

Publication number: 20190104020Abstract: A system may include a database disposed within a remote network management platform, a server device disposed in the platform, and a client device. The database may contain representations of configuration items, such as computing devices and software applications associated with the managed network. The server device may provide a graphical user interface including a sequence of panes to the client device. The sequence of panes may include an identifier pane, an identification rules pane, and a reconciliation pane. Each pane may include data entry fields that are operable to define a new class of configuration item. The server device may receive, by way of the graphical user interface, a definition of the new class that uniquely identifies configuration items of a particular type using at least the attributes. The server may store, in the database, the definition of the new class.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2018Publication date: April 4, 2019Inventors: Vivian Tero, Chinna Polinati, Madhavi Puvvada, Purushottam Amradkar, Manish Gupta, Brandon Trudel, Guarav Yakhmi, Jesus Antonio CASTRO Cisneros, Viral Shah

Patent number: 10169457Abstract: A personalized view of insights into social activity surrounding a content item is provided that may indicate to a user why a given piece of content may be interesting to him/her. A user's activities, as well as the activities of others (e.g., colleagues of the user) may be shown, including such items as a total number of views, comments, followers, and likes associated with the content item. The insights view may be personalized based on the user's relationships with other users in association with the content item. The user may learn through the personalized view who among his/her relationships have commented, edited, shared, or liked the content item, as well as, how many of the user's colleagues have viewed the content item. In addition, through a search function that may be applied to the view content, a user may learn about related content items based on the social insights.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2014Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Robin Miller, Stefan Debald, Viral Shah, Joshua Stickler, Fredrik Holm, Ashok Kuppusamy, Øyvind Linna Eikeland, Mathuranthagaa Selvarathnam, Marcin Łukasz Roman, Colamba Patabedige Janaka Chathuranga Perera, Bjørnstein Lilleby, Rune Devik, Sangram Jyoti Bal

Publication number: 20180349452Abstract: Generating and providing a content feed to a user that surfaces information items that are determined to be interesting or relevant to the user including content that is determined to be “distant” to the user is provided. Explicit user actions are used to discover peers who are not colleagues of the user (e.g., peers with whom the user does not share a close organizational relationship, peers with whom the user does not regularly communicate, etc.), but who the user indicates an interest in via his/her actions. These peers are categorized as elevated peers of the user, and information items associated with and trending around the elevated peers are surfaced to the user in a content feed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2018Publication date: December 6, 2018Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Torbjørn Helvik, Michael James Taylor, Vishwa Vinay, Vidar Vikjord, Viral Shah, Ashok Kuppusamy, Bjørnstein Lilleby
