DYNAMICALLY DELAYING EXECUTION OF AUTOMATED ASSISTANT ACTIONS AND/OR BACKGROUND APPLICATION REQUESTS
Publication number: 20230410804Abstract: Implementations set forth herein allow a user to access a first application in a foreground of a graphical interface, and simultaneously employ an automated assistant to respond to notifications arising from a second application. The user can provide an input, such as a spoken utterance, while viewing the first application in the foreground in order to respond to notifications from the second application without performing certain intervening steps that can arise under certain circumstances. Such intervening steps can include providing a user confirmation, which can be bypassed, and/or time-limited according to a timer, which can be displayed in response to the user providing a responsive input directed at the notification. A period for the timer can be set according to one or more characteristics that are associated with the notification, the user, and/or any other information that can be associated with the user receiving the notification.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Denis Burakov, Sergey Nazarov, Behshad Behzadi, Mario Bertschler, Bohdan Vlasyuk, Daniel Cotting, Michael Golikov, Lucas Mirelmann, Steve Cheng, Zaheed Sabur, Okan Kolak, Yan Zhong, Vinh Quoc Ly -
Publication number: 20230403246Abstract: Traditional messaging applications (such as email, social networking platforms, text, instant messaging, chat, etc.) are ill-equipped for collaboration. For instance, a sender and recipients corresponding regarding a topic are often required to exchange multiple messages. As a result, determining a consensus regarding the topic or summarizing the collaboration is difficult and cumbersome. Moreover, when links are included in messages, recipients are required to navigate away from the messaging application to view the linked content. A messaging application is provided that may be configured to enable users to dynamically collaborate regarding links or data within a sent message or a receive message. In aspects, a collaborative user experience (UX) is provided, which may be an interface within a message that enables real-time collaboration between a sender and one or more recipients regarding message content —without exchanging additional messages or navigating away from the messaging application.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2023Publication date: December 14, 2023Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Leeviana Peng GRAY, Sebastien Rene VANDENBERGHE, Kyle P.

Publication number: 20230249999Abstract: The present invention provides a sewage treatment biological agent and a preparation method and application thereof. The sewage treatment biological agent according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an induced nucleus. The induced nucleus has good bioaffinity. A microbial flora can be attached to the induced nucleus to achieve rapid growth. As the microbial flora gathers and grows on the induced nucleus, the granulation is gradually achieved by the sewage treatment biological agent to facilitate the sewage treatment. The microbial flora grows on the induced nucleus, and the growth process of microbial flora is a covering growth process which starts from the induced nucleus and gradually expands outward and centers on the induced nucleus. During the growth of microbial flora, extracellular polymers are secreted, which can further promote the granulation process by the sewage treatment biological agent.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2022Publication date: August 10, 2023Applicant: Hunan Sanyou Environmental Protection Technology Co.

Publication number: 20220109651Abstract: System and methods are directed to displaying interactive content with static content in a user interface of an application. More specifically, it may be determined that an interactive component is to be rendered in a user interface of a first application, where the user interface includes static content. In response to determining that the interactive component is it be rendered, at least one linking parameter may be determined for linking the interactive component with interactive content stored in a shared storage. Based on the at least one linking parameter, the interactive component may be rendered in the user interface of the first application in-line with the static content of the user interface of the first application. Changes to the interactive content made by a second user of a second application may then be updated within the interactive component rendered in the user interface of the first application.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2020Publication date: April 7, 2022Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Yan Zhong LEIGH, Kyle Patrick CURLETT, Ankur LAL, Zohaib RAUF, Sathish Kumar Venkat RANGAM, Cosmin CATRINESCU, Jonathan Seth KAUFTHAL, Brian Daniel MEERSMA, Maya RODRIG, Humberto Lezama GUADARRAMA, Betsy Yu-pui MCINTYRE, William Dean SAULNIER, Jiuqing SONG, Arnavi Mahendra CHHEDA, Yue MA, Leeviana Peng GRAY, Barnabas James WHITFIELD, Andrei Valentinovich ZENKOVITCH
