US Patent:

7577990, Aug 18, 2009
Filed:

Feb 27, 2004
Appl. No.:

10/789808
Inventors:

Michael D. Smith - Kirkland WA, US
Miller T. Abel - Mercer Island WA, US
Max G. Morris - Seattle WA, US
John A. Maffei - Medina WA, US
Bruce E. Johnson - Bellevue WA, US
Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:

G06F 7/04
G06F 12/00
G06F 12/14
G06F 13/00
G06F 17/30
G06K 19/00
G11C 7/00
H04L 9/32
US Classification:

726 21
Abstract:

A dispute resolution system for requesting a service provider to provide services so that the service provider can demonstrate to a service intermediary that a service consumer requested services. A service consumer that wants to start requesting services of the service provider registers with the service intermediary an end code of a sequence of code generated using a one-way function. The service intermediary provides the end code to the service provider. The service consumer can then using codes of the sequence requests the service provider to provide services. When the service provider receives a request, it verifies that the code of the request can be used to derive the end code. If the verification is successful, then the service provider can provide the verified code to the service intermediary as non-repudiatable evidence of the services requested by the service consumer.

G06F 13/14
US Classification:

709217, 711148
Abstract:

A method and system is provided for capturing data from a population of device users with network access. A requestor may request a data capture. The requested data may include, for example, a geographical location or a desired subject matter. Devices capable of providing the requested data capture are identified and requested to provide the data. The devices may be identified based on location, capabilities, availability, etc. The data capture from the identified federated devices may be sent to the requestor. The data may be exchanged for a fee, determined by prearrangement or via an economic model such as a competitive auction.

US Patent:

7657255, Feb 2, 2010
Filed:

Jun 23, 2005
Appl. No.:

11/159605
Inventors:

Miller T. Abel - Mercer Island WA, US
Shai Guday - Redmond WA, US
Benjamin E. Nick - Redmond WA, US
Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:

H04M 3/42
US Classification:

4554141, 4554322, 455466, 455411, 455433, 709246, 370259, 370260
Abstract:

The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates connecting a wireless device to a secure network. A device can establish a near field communication link with a verified device on a network, wherein the near field communication link can be a secure and/or encrypted link to provision the device without compromising security constraints within the network. An installation component can invoke the transfer of provisioning data to the network via the near field communication link to secure a wireless connection for the device to the network.

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:

H04L 12/56
H04J 3/22
US Classification:

370252, 370465
Abstract:

A method and system is provided for determining reliability of data from a network or federated device. In one example, data from different devices in the network are compared and a relationship between the devices is determined. The reliability may be based on the relationship of the devices and/or similarity of data from the devices. In another example, reliability of devices and/or data from the devices may be based on a historical reliability of the devices.

11/274539
Inventors:

Neil L. Coles - Redmond WA, US
Scott R. Shell - Kirkland WA, US
Hung M. Dang - Seattle WA, US
Yuhang Zhu - Bellevue WA, US
Miller T. Abel - Mercer Island WA, US
Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:

G06F 15/177
US Classification:

715735, 715733, 715734, 70799901, 709220, 710 8, 717120, 717121, 719327
Abstract:

Translators are provided that enable automated and remote device configurations in an efficient and abstract manner. In one aspect, a device configuration system is provided. A configuration component stores one or more remote configuration trees for various devices. A translator component maps the remote configuration trees to at least one device configuration tree associated with the respective devices to enable device configuration in an automated manner.

Mobile Device Manners Propagation And Compliance

US Patent:

8000692, Aug 16, 2011
Filed:

Sep 19, 2006
Appl. No.:

11/533140
Inventors:

Miller Thomas Abel - Mercer Island WA, US
Shai Guday - Redmond WA, US
Michael Sinclair - Kirkland WA, US
Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:

H04M 3/00
US Classification:

455418, 4554564, 4554121, 455567, 4555501, 4555562
Abstract:

The present invention includes methods and technologies for defining and administering device manners policy (“DMP”), propagating DMP, reception and recognition of, and compliance with DMP. Such policy may be used to communicate to various mobile and other devices the “manners” with which compliance is expected or required. Similar to some of the social manners honored among people, such as with “no smoking” or “employees only” zones, “no swimming” or “no flash photography” areas, and scenarios for “please wash your hands” or “no talking out loud”, devices may recognize and comply with analogous “device manners” policy.

US Patent:

8102797, Jan 24, 2012
Filed:

Aug 17, 2006
Appl. No.:

11/465328
Inventors:

Miller T. Abel - Mercer Island WA, US
Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:

H04W 4/00
H04B 5/02
H04B 7/00
US Classification:

370328, 455 411, 455 412, 455517
Abstract:

Web compatible information is effortlessly exchanged over wireless communications utilizing web-based formats. These techniques can be employed over, for example, NFC air links and other wireless communication means to share information between devices in actual web exchangeable forms. The communication techniques allow lightweight communications to be automatically established between resource-constrained devices such as PDAs, cell phones, kiosks, movie posters, etc. Information can be passed and/or retrieved utilizing these techniques. These communication means can also be utilized to establish alternate types of communications by passing handshaking data between devices that can allow other communication protocols to be utilized.
