Patent number: 7895031Abstract: The sharing of language models is disclosed. In one embodiment, a language model service is provided that is shareable among handlers for input devices. The service includes a pre-processing mode of operation, and a correction mode of operation. In the former mode, the language model service is designed to receive a range within a document from a handler for an input device, and in response provide advice regarding text under consideration by the handler to insert within the document at the range, based on the context of the document within the range. In the latter mode, the language model service is designed to supervise correction over a range of text within a document, in which a number of different handlers for a number of different input devices were initially responsible for insertion of the text, such that the service solicits suggestions from the handlers, and based thereon determines text corrections. The corrections can then be made by the handlers, or by the service.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2006Date of Patent: February 22, 2011Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Yutaka Nakajima, Yutaka Suzue, Kevin B.

Patent number: 7398462Abstract: A common text framework for application programs having documents of primarily text and input devices for entering and editing text of such documents is disclosed. The framework provides for the interaction of applications and handlers for input devices, and includes a text store interface and a text input processor interface. The former interface permits an application having a document of primarily text to expose the document as an abstraction. The latter interface permits a handler for an input device to access the abstraction of the document and to insert additional text into the document.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2000Date of Patent: July 8, 2008Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Kevin B.

Patent number: 7386856Abstract: A commanding system and method for a computer including at least one control element at the control level having commanding information. An input sequence can be received from an input device, and the commanding information provided by the control element can be used to connect the input to an associated action. Control elements and the application elements can be arranged as nodes in an tree, each node having one or more children and/or one or more parents. A table of bindings can be associated with each node, the table of bindings including a plurality of binding entries, each including a command binding and a command handler. The input sequence can be passed from node to node in the tree to find a command binding that matches the input sequence. When a matching command binding is found, the command handler associated with the matching command binding can be used to invoke the action that is to be performed based on the input sequence.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2003Date of Patent: June 10, 2008Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Dwayne Need, Gregory Cavanaugh Franklin, Kevin B.

Patent number: 7284205Abstract: A commanding system for a computer. The system includes an input module that accepts a plurality of input sequences across multiple input device categories, and a commanding element having a binding table that connects input sequences to associated action. One or more of the binding entries in the binding table includes a command binding with a plurality of sub-command bindings associated with the plurality of input sequences across multiple input device categories. A processor receives the input at the input module and passes the input to the command element, the command element looking up a matching command binding associated with the input in the binding table. In addition, the processor invokes action associated with the input if the matching binding is found in the binding table. The system can also report the commands a particular application can understand upon request.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2003Date of Patent: October 16, 2007Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Dwayne Need, Gregory Cavanaugh Franklin, Kevin B.
