Method And System For Supporting The Communication Of Presence Information Regarding One Or More Telephony Devices

US Patent:
2003021, Nov 20, 2003
Filed:
May 15, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/145673
Inventors:
Nikhil Bobde - Bellevue WA, US
Robert Brown - Redmond WA, US
Jeremy Buch - Redmond WA, US
Ajay Chitturi - Bellevue WA, US
Ann Demirtjis - Redmond WA, US
Vishwajith Kumbalimutt - Redmond WA, US
David Simons - Redmond WA, US
Zachary Taylor - Sammamish WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06F015/16
US Classification:
709/202000, 709/224000, 709/207000
Abstract:
A system for detecting and communicating the presence of one or more computing devices is presented. The invention also presents a method and system for aggregating presence information generated by multiple devices associated with a single user. A server acting as a presence agent on behalf of a first user receives and responds to a subscription request generated by a computing device operated by a second wishing to be permitted as a watcher of the first user. When the second user corresponds to access preferences of the first user, a notify message is sent to the second user's device that includes presence information indicative of an activity level and availability level associated with the first user. When the first user employs multiple computing devices, the server generates an aggregate presence document that is representative of the overall presence of the first user.

Caching Coverage Values For Rendering Text Using Anti-Aliasing Techniques

US Patent:
2013008, Apr 11, 2013
Filed:
Oct 11, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/270926
Inventors:
Megha Jain - Seattle WA, US
Miles M. Cohen - Seattle WA, US
Robert A. Brown - Redmond WA, US
Worachai Chaoweeraprasit - Bellevue WA, US
Andrew M. Precious - Duvall WA, US
Kanwal VedBrat - Bellevue WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G09G 5/02, G09G 5/00
US Classification:
345589, 345611
Abstract:
Techniques for calculating sub-pixel coverage values for text to be displayed, so as to enable caching of the sub-pixel coverage values. The sub-pixel coverage values may enable a linear combination of color information for the text with color information for one or more other, overlapping display elements for calculating composite color values to be used in controlling a display. Such composite color values to be used in controlling sub-pixels of a display may be calculated, in some embodiments, without performing a gamma correction process. Also described are techniques for retrieving cached sub-pixel coverage values and combining the values with color information for text and for other, overlapping display elements to calculate composite color values for sub-pixels of a display. At least one graphics processing unit (GPU) may be configured to perform operations using the sub-pixel coverage information and to calculate the composite color values for the sub-pixels.

System And Method For Text Rendering

US Patent:
2013006, Mar 14, 2013
Filed:
Sep 9, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/229037
Inventors:
Miles M. Cohen - Seattle WA, US
Kanwal VedBrat - Bellevue WA, US
Andrew M. Precious - Duvall WA, US
Worachai Chaoweeraprasit - Bellevue WA, US
Niklas E. Borson - Langley WA, US

Robert A. Brown - Redmond WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06T 11/60, G09G 5/00
US Classification:
345611, 345467
Abstract:
A method for text rendering that is well suited for use in a computing device with a high resolution display but a low-power graphics processing unit (GPU). The method may comprise calculating a coverage representation of the text in a format that can be efficiently processed by the GPU. As a result, the GPU may perform anti-aliasing and subsequent operations in the rendering process. Efficient processing may be achieved by providing the coverage representation in a format that allows values associated with pixels to be computed based on a byte-aligned chunk of bits in the coverage representation. Additionally, processing on the chunks may be performed using at least one lookup table. For large filtering kernels used for anti-aliasing, the lookup tables may be partitioned into portions dependent on dynamic text characteristics and those independent of the dynamic text characteristics.
