Creating Associated Content For A Region Of A Document In Response To A User Selecting The Region
US Patent:
2006023, Oct 12, 2006
Filed:
Apr 7, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/100711
Inventors:
Dean Racovolis - Redmond WA, US
Steven Mitchell - Tumwater WA, US
Steven Mitchell - Tumwater WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06F 17/00
US Classification:
715500100
Abstract:
Described herein are systems and methods for enabling a user to select a region within a document, and to specify the creation of content to link to the selected region. The user also may be enabled to specify to access and/or modify already-existing associated content linked to the selected region. In response to the user specifying to create, access (e.g., read-only) or edit a region within the document, a separate window may be launched that enables the user to access, create and/or edit the associated content. This separate window may be a pane or panel within a user interface display of the application within which the document is being edited (i.e., an internal window), or may be a window external to the user interface display.
Computer Application With Streamlined Formatting
US Patent:
2006027, Nov 30, 2006
Filed:
May 27, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/139885
Inventors:
Dean Racovolis - Redmond WA, US
Steven Mitchell - Tumwater WA, US
Steven Mitchell - Tumwater WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06F 17/00
US Classification:
715530000, 715517000
Abstract:
A data processing application that operates in a constrained formatting mode in which formatting choices for one or more constructs are constrained. An example is provided in which the data processing application is a word processor and the construct is an outline numbered list. The formatting options available in the constrained mode of operation are specified in an artifact associated with the data processing application. Automatic formatting is applied consistently with the limited number of formatting choices. The same artifact may be associated with multiple copies of the data processing application, which ensures users within an enterprise use consistent formatting. In addition to generating more consistent documents, constraining formatting options across an enterprise reduces the possibility that automatic formatting functions generate documents with incorrect formatting as documents, and portions of documents, are shared by individuals within the enterprise.
Capturing And Reporting The Amount Of Effort Expended In Working On A Document
US Patent:
2006025, Nov 16, 2006
Filed:
May 16, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/130819
Inventors:
Dean Racovolis - Redmond WA, US
Steven Mitchell - Tumwater WA, US
Steven Mitchell - Tumwater WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
H04N 1/00
US Classification:
358305000
Abstract:
Described herein are systems and methods for capturing an amount of effort expended in working on a document. One or more periods of time during which a document is an active document within an active window on a user interface may be determined. Further, one or more periods of time during which a window in which the document is displayed is a most forward window may be determined. For one or more determined periods of time, one or more temporal intervals may be determined during which it is inferred that effort was not being expended on the document. A total amount of time expended in working on the document may be determined based, at least in part, on the determined one or more periods and the determined one or more temporal intervals. An effort report may be generated including an indication corresponding to the determined total amount of time expended.
System And Method For Converting Text To Speech
US Patent:
2006010, May 18, 2006
Filed:
Oct 29, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/977777
Inventors:
Dean Racovolis - Redmond WA, US
Steven Mitchell - Tumwater WA, US
Steven Mitchell - Tumwater WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G10L 11/00
US Classification:
704277000
Abstract:
Text is converted to speech based at least in part on the context of the text. A body of text may be parsed before being converted to speech. Each portion may be analyzed to determine whether it has one or more particular attributes, which may be indicative of context. The conversion of each text portion to speech may be controlled based on these attributes, for example, by setting one or more conversion parameter values for the text portion. The text portions and the associated conversion parameter values may be sent to a text-to-speech engine to perform the conversion to speech, and the generated speech may be stored as an audio file. Audio markers may be placed at one or more locations within the audio file, and these markers may be used to listen to, navigate and/or edit the audio file, for example, using a portable audio device.
