Method And System For Creating An Embedded Search Link Document

View page
US Patent:
7003506, Feb 21, 2006
Filed:
Jun 23, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/602305
Inventors:
Eric McKee Fisk - Seattle WA, US
Dean Alan Slawson - Redmond WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06F 17/30
US Classification:
707 1, 707 10, 715513
Abstract:
A method and system for creating and using an embedded search link document. Embedded search link documents are search-enabled through the use of a wizard. The wizard initially prompts a user to open an HTML-formatted genesis document in an editing pane. Once the genesis document is loaded, the user may add and manipulate search links by customizing the relevant search parameters. The invention permits a user to tailor a search by selecting various search parameters describing the search objective. Once the search parameters are specified, the search engine finds documents meeting the search criteria from a catalog that was built by crawling World Wide Web sites. These documents are filtered for relevance and compiled into a results list. The documents comprising the results list are placed into one of a set of site catalogs, depending on which of the search criteria are embodied in the individual document. The results list is returned to the user, who may designate certain links as preferred links.

Feedback Loop For Spam Prevention

View page
US Patent:
7219148, May 15, 2007
Filed:
Mar 3, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/378463
Inventors:
Robert L. Rounthwaite - Fall City WA, US
Joshua T. Goodman - Redmond WA, US
David E. Heckerman - Bellevue WA, US
John D. Mehr - Seattle WA, US
Nathan D. Howell - Seattle WA, US
Micah C. Rupersburg - Seattle WA, US
Dean A. Slawson - Redmond WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06F 15/173
US Classification:
709224, 709206, 709207, 713154
Abstract:
The subject invention provides for a feedback loop system and method that facilitate classifying items in connection with spam prevention in server and/or client-based architectures. The invention makes uses of a machine-learning approach as applied to spam filters, and in particular, randomly samples incoming email messages so that examples of both legitimate and junk/spam mail are obtained to generate sets of training data. Users which are identified as spam-fighters are asked to vote on whether a selection of their incoming email messages is individually either legitimate mail or junk mail. A database stores the properties for each mail and voting transaction such as user information, message properties and content summary, and polling results for each message to generate training data for machine learning systems. The machine learning systems facilitate creating improved spam filter(s) that are trained to recognize both legitimate mail and spam mail and to distinguish between them.

Adaptive Dissemination Of Personalized And Contextually Relevant Information

View page
US Patent:
7577718, Aug 18, 2009
Filed:
Jul 31, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/461388
Inventors:
Dean A. Slawson - Sammamish WA, US
Raman Chandrasekar - Seattle WA, US
Michael K. Forney - Bainbridge Island WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06F 15/16
US Classification:
709218, 707 3, 707 7
Abstract:
An information dissemination system identifies the interests of a user from information derived from various sources, such as, by way of example, the user's calendar entries, emails, World Wide Web (web) usage information, documents, enterprise resource planning (ERP) data, and the like. The information dissemination system then creates a profile for the user, and includes in the profile the details about the user's interests including the information sources to query, the user events which were analyzed to determine the user's interest, the topics derived from the analyzed events, the queries generated for the analyzed events, a language model of terms that are relevant to the user, and other information regarding the user. The information dissemination system then periodically executes the queries against the appropriate information sources, ranks the search results obtained from executing the queries, and renders the ranked search results to the user.

US Patent:
7685199, Mar 23, 2010
Filed:
Jul 31, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/461378
Inventors:
Raman Chandrasekar - Seattle WA, US
Dean A. Slawson - Sammamish WA, US
Michael K. Forney - Bainbridge Island WA, US
Arungunram C. Surendran - Sammamish WA, US
Piali Choudhury - Woodinville WA, US
Erin Renshaw - Kirkland WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06F 17/30
US Classification:
707748, 707723, 707732, 707754, 707776, 707602, 912951
Abstract:
An information dissemination system provides users information related to topics extracted from event classes. Event classes can generally be thought of as scripts that specify topics and actions for obtaining information related to the topics. The event classes are executed to obtain information related to the particular event class. The information dissemination system identifies a user event that is of interest to a user. The information dissemination system then identifies an event class that corresponds to the user event. The information dissemination system then performs the actions specified for the event class, obtains the action results, and renders the action results to the user.

US Patent:
6970859, Nov 29, 2005
Filed:
Mar 23, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/533504
Inventors:
Eric L. Brechner - Woodinville WA, US
Dean A. Slawson - Redmond WA, US
David A. Vest - Kirkland WA, US
Krzysztof J. Cwalina - Redmond WA, US
Glen Iwasaki - Bellevue WA, US
John J. Thrall - Mountain View CA, US
Colin R. Anthony - East St. Louis IL, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06F017/30
US Classification:
707 3, 707 4, 707 5, 707 7, 3482313
Abstract:
A style identifier is associated with each of a plurality of media clips stored in a database, based on a subjective evaluation of various characteristics of each media clip by an expert. The style represented by the style identifier corresponds to an impression on the expert regarding various qualities of the media clip and is not constrained by the subject of the media clip. Media clips with which style identifiers are associated can be any form of digital media, such as clip art files, sound files, photographs, animation files, fonts, etc. Also associated with each media clip in the database is an absolute ranking value for each of a plurality of different attributes based on a subjective evaluation of each media clip by an expert. A user can search the database for media clips associated with a specific style identifier and can sort the media clips that were identified by a search, based upon the absolute ranking value for a selected attribute. In one application of this invention, the database is maintained at a web site accessible over the Internet, and users can browse or search the database based upon a selected category, a keyword, or a style.
