US Patent:

7712046, May 4, 2010
Filed:

Feb 17, 2006
Appl. No.:

11/356142
Inventors:

Joseph K. Ngari - Seattle WA, US
Kevin J. Smith - Redmond WA, US
Scott Mitchell Mail - Seattle WA, US
Jacob Fleisher - Redmond WA, US
Michael Winser - Westport CT, US
David V. Esposito - North Haven CT, US
Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:

G06F 3/00
G06F 3/048
G09G 5/26
US Classification:

715801, 715800, 345629
Abstract:

A display screen magnifier is controllable by a user to magnify selected portions of a desktop including windows open on the screen. A moveable magnifier frame is provided, within which a magnified image is presented. The magnified image corresponds to screen content located within a magnification region underlying the magnifier frame, magnified to a set level of magnification. In one embodiment, the magnification region is moveable relative to the magnifier frame, in relation to movement of the magnifier frame on the display screen. Such relative movement can be used to avoid a potentially disorienting edge condition that arises when a magnifier frame reaches an edge of the display screen and stops, while its associated magnification region continues to pan. In another embodiment, the cursor of a user input device is moveable across the screen display into and out of the magnification region. When the position of the cursor falls within the magnification region, the cursor appears within the magnified image presented within the magnifier frame.

US Patent:

8213908, Jul 3, 2012
Filed:

Apr 5, 2007
Appl. No.:

11/732980
Inventors:

Daniel Sangster - Bellevue WA, US
Christopher Dreher - Seattle WA, US
Joseph Ngari - Seattle WA, US
Carlos Manzanedo - Kirkland WA, US
James Marshall - Puyallup WA, US
Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:

H04B 7/00
US Classification:

4554121, 455 412
Abstract:

Embodiments of software-supervised pairing processes are provided. The processes enable a user to pair a mouse and keyboard with a Bluetooth transceiver without having to use a second mouse and keyboard. At least two separate processes are provided, including a long transition for initial pairing or re-pairing and a short transition for re-establishing a connection after devices have already been paired.

US Patent:

20070033544, Feb 8, 2007
Filed:

Aug 4, 2005
Appl. No.:

11/196511
Inventors:

Jacob Fleisher - Seattle WA, US

International Classification:

G06K 9/03
US Classification:

715800000, 382311000, 715526000, 715724000
Abstract:

A display screen magnifier is controllable by a user to magnify selected portions of a desktop including windows open on the screen. A moveable magnifier frame is provided, within which a magnified image is presented. The magnified image corresponds to screen content located within a magnification region underlying the magnifier frame, magnified to a set level of magnification. The magnifier is controllable through use of a user input device. At least one operational parameter of the magnifier can be adjusted, without interaction with on-screen objects and without taking focus away from the desktop or any windows open on the screen. In a particular embodiment of the invention, on-the-fly controllability of the magnifier includes its activation and deactivation, adjustment of the magnification level, and adjustment of the size of the magnifier frame.

G06F 17/30
US Classification:

715265
Abstract:

Some implementations provide techniques and arrangements for cross lingual candidate suggestion. For instance, some display a user interface of a host application including a text entry area. An input method editor (IME) receives one or more characters as input. In response, one or more completion candidates are displayed, at least one of the completion candidates being a cross lingual completion candidate in a language different from the one or more characters.
