App Powered Extensibility Of Messages On An Existing Messaging Service

View page
US Patent:
20200059442, Feb 20, 2020
Filed:
Oct 15, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/653261
Inventors:
- Redmond WA, US
Rowan FORSTER - Seattle WA, US
International Classification:
H04L 12/58
Abstract:
An instant messaging (IM) service interacts with IM clients operating on computing devices to implement an extensible platform with which individual composer applications (“apps”) may interact to support a variety of different messaging user experiences for users of respective local and remote devices. Each IM client exposes an application programming interface for utilization by a local composer app to package content that the IM service then transparently transports to a remote device. An IM client on the remote device provides the package to an identified associated remote composer app that can unpack the content and use it to support the app's customized messaging experience for the remote user. The composer app also provides a preview of the experience supported by the packaged content that the clients on the respective local and remote devices may utilize in a messaging history and/or as a launching point to the composer app's user experience.

Virtual Skeleton Based On Computing Device Capability Profile

US Patent:
20190371031, Dec 5, 2019
Filed:
May 31, 2018
Appl. No.:
15/995009
Inventors:
- Redmond WA, US
Brad Steven KERTSON - Redmond WA, US
Rowan FORSTER - Seattle WA, US
David Warren STEVENS - Bothell WA, US
Michael John BRAY - Redmond WA, US
Susan CHORY - Seattle WA, US
Richard Lawrence HARRINGTON - Renton WA, US
International Classification:
G06T 13/40
Abstract:
A virtual skeleton may be adapted based on a capability profile. The virtual skeleton adapted based on a capability profile may be generated from a master virtual skeleton. The adapted virtual skeleton may be less complex than the master virtual skeleton. The adapted virtual skeleton may include fewer virtual skeletal joints than a number of virtual skeletal joints associated with the master virtual skeleton.

US Patent:
20190243873, Aug 8, 2019
Filed:
Feb 2, 2018
Appl. No.:
15/887621
Inventors:
- Redmond WA, US
Chilumba MUBASHI - Redmond WA, US
LeRoy F. MILLER - Tacoma WA, US
Mark J. TALLEY - Bellevue WA, US
Nicole A. WOON - Seattle WA, US
Patrick S. DONOGHUE - Redmond WA, US
Rowan T. FORSTER - Seattle WA, US
Shawn C. CALLEGARI - Redmond WA, US
Kwan-Yi CHAN - Bellevue WA, US
International Classification:
G06F 17/21
G06F 17/30
Abstract:
The background story behind the production of user-created content may include gathering information (suggestions) about conditions and events at points in time during the production process. In some instances, the information can be based on points in time in a history recorded during the content creation process. In some instances, the information can be collected or gathered in real-time during the content creation process. The gathered information can be combined with the user-created content at different points in time in the content creation process to generate elements used to create the background story.

US Patent:
20180034869, Feb 1, 2018
Filed:
Jul 31, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/224577
Inventors:
- Redmond WA, US
Divya Kumar - Sammamish WA, US
Rowan Forster - Seattle WA, US
International Classification:
H04L 29/06
G09B 5/14
G06F 3/0484
Abstract:
In one example, a presentation control device may allow a presenter, such as a teacher, to control interactions between audience members and the presenter. The presentation control device may display a presentation controlled by a presenter to a presentation audience as part of a group presentation session. The presentation control device may receive from the presenter a communication rule controlling an interaction between an audience member device and the presentation control device as part of controlling the presentation. The presentation control device may receive a communication regarding the presentation from an audience member in the presentation audience via the audience member device. The presentation control device direct the communication based on the communication rule.

Content Sharing With User And Recipient Devices

View page
US Patent:
20170339249, Nov 23, 2017
Filed:
May 20, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/160867
Inventors:
- Redmond WA, US
Rowan Forster - Seattle WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLC - Redmond WA
International Classification:
H04L 29/08
H04L 29/06
Abstract:
Methods and systems for establishing a content sharing session between computing devices are disclosed. Prior to establishing the content sharing session: user selection input selecting displayed content is received; response to the user selection input, a content sharing window is displayed comprising the content, interaction type selectors, and contact selectors; user contact input selecting at least one contact selector corresponding to a selected recipient is received; and user interaction input selecting an interaction type selector is received. At least in response to receiving user input, the content sharing session is established in which the selected content is provided to the recipient computing device for display. Recipient input is received from the recipient computing device during the sharing session.

US Patent:
20170279749, Sep 28, 2017
Filed:
Mar 25, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/081661
Inventors:
- Redmond WA, US
Rowan Forster - Seattle WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLC - Redmond WA
International Classification:
H04L 12/58
G06F 17/24
G06F 3/0484
Abstract:
In one example, a communication device may implement a content-centric approach to communication sessions. The communication device may execute a framing application that supports multiple plug-in modules in multiple panes of a framing template. The communication device may access a content plug-in module in a primary pane in the framing template. The communication device may present a data content item via the content plug-in module in the primary pane of the framing template. The communication device may suggest a communication plug-in module candidate set based upon the data content item. The communication device may select a communication plug-in module of the communication plug-in module candidate set for a secondary pane in the framing template.

Quick Navigation Of Message Conversation History

View page
US Patent:
20160050165, Feb 18, 2016
Filed:
Sep 11, 2014
Appl. No.:
14/483943
Inventors:
- Redmond WA, US
Jason Nelson - Redmond WA, US
Rowan Forster - Seattle WA, US
International Classification:
H04L 12/58
G06K 9/20
G06F 3/0485
Abstract:
A messaging application running on a computing device utilizes a navigation model that exposes user interfaces (UIs) which implement a messaging conversation history in a minimized form so that a user can quickly jump to a desired conversation displayed on a chat card without having to toggle back and forth between a conventional messaging list view and chat card views. The minimized conversation history can be implemented using a scrollable carousel of images that is persistently displayed on the UI. The images represent messaging participants (i.e., contacts) that are arranged in an ordered display according to conversation history. The particular contact that is associated with the currently displayed chat card is highlighted in the carousel using color and/or other graphic treatments. As messaging activities occur and new messages come in and are sent out, the carousel is dynamically updated to show the contacts in the appropriate sorted historical order.
