Filed:

Sep 9, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/223505

Inventors:

Jonah Burke - Redmond WA, US
Arshish Kapadia - Redmond WA, US
Howard Crow - Redmond WA, US
Jonathan Kauffman - Redmond WA, US
Targo Tennisberg - Redmond WA, US

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707003000

Abstract:

Systems and methods for annotating documents in provided in a collaborative application with data from disparate information systems are provided. The collaborative application enables the annotation of a document with data provided by another application. Particularly, the collaborative application enables a user to pick an item from a data store associated with another application. An association is established between the document and the picked item and retrieves data associated with the picked item from the data store. The document is annotated with the retrieved data. Because of the association, the collaborative application can determine that the picked item in the data store has been modified by the other application. The collaborative application may retrieve modified data associated with the picked item from the data store and update the annotation data associated with the document with the modified data.

International Classification:

H04L 12/18
H04W 84/18
H04L 29/06

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for enhancing ad-hoc online meetings. A service client, when executed by a computing system, directs the computing system to at least detect an in-room discovery signal, identify a room from the in-room discovery signal, identify a session based on the room associated with the in-room discovery signal, and join the session.

Inventors:

- Redmond WA, US
Andrew Peter Sinclair - Redmond WA, US
Jonathan Adam Kauffman - Seattle WA, US
Anton Krantz - Kirkland WA, US

International Classification:

H04L 29/06
H04W 4/00

Abstract:

Non-limiting examples disclosed herein describe processing capabilities for ad-hoc online meetings. In an implementation, an identifier is received that corresponds with a specific location. A proximity signal is received from one or more components associated with the specific location. The received proximity signal comprises one of: a modulated light signal, an audible sound, an inaudible sound and ambient noise. The identifier is validated based on a comparison of the proximity signal with a reference signal for the one or more components. A service identifier for a conferencing session is provided based on a validation of the identifier. In one example, a computing device is connected to the conference session based on receipt of a request that comprises the provided service identifier. In another example, the conference session is automatically transferred from a client computing device to a component associated with the specific location such as a room display device.

Jonathan Adam Kauffman - Seattle WA, US

International Classification:

G06Q 10/06
G06F 3/0484

Abstract:

Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and software to enhance meeting technology. In an implementation, a meetings graph may be generated for a meeting between various participants in the meeting. An effectiveness of the meeting may be identified based at least in part on a comparison of the meetings graph to a model meetings graph for a model meeting. An indication of the effectiveness of the meeting may then be communicated to at least an application for surfacing in a user interface to the application.

International Classification:

H04L 29/06
H04W 4/00
H04W 72/04

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for enhancing ad-hoc online meetings. In an implementation, a service client receives an initial handoff of an online session from an initial service client that was ongoing between the initial service client and at least one other service client. The service client detects when proximate to an in-room service client. When proximate to the in-room service client, the service client initiate a subsequent handoff of the online session to the in-room service client.
