Patent Applications by Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLC

20240211076.TOUCH-SENSOR ACCURACY IN NOISY ENVIRONMENTS_simplified_abstract_(microsoft technology licensing, llc)

Inventor(s): Idan PALMOR of Ramat Gan (IL) for microsoft technology licensing, llc, Lior ZAGIEL of Tel Aviv (IL) for microsoft technology licensing, llc, Yael LIVNE of Tel Aviv (IL) for microsoft technology licensing, llc, Nadav LINENBERG of Even Yehuda (IL) for microsoft technology licensing, llc

IPC Code(s): G06F3/044, G06F3/041

CPC Code(s): G06F3/044



Abstract: a capacitive touch-sensor system comprises an electrode array coupled to an electromagnetic-noise source, a hardware interface, and associated output logic. the electrode array acquires sensory signal. the hardware interface exposes a touch-position output of the capacitive touch sensor. the output logic determines that an anomalous sensory electrode of the electrode array is proximate to a touchpoint, the anomalous sensory electrode providing an anomalous response to noise from the electromagnetic-noise source. pursuant to determining that the anomalous sensory electrode is proximate to the touchpoint, the output logic identifies a non-anomalous sensory electrode of the electrode array which is usable to detect the noise. if an amplitude of the sensory signal from the non-anomalous sensory electrode exceeds a predetermined threshold, then the output logic invalidates the sensory signal for touchpoint resolution. if the sensory signal is not invalidated, the output logic computes the touch-position output based in part on the sensory signal.

CPC Code(s): G06F3/04817



Abstract: systems and methods disclosed herein relate to assigning dynamic eye-gaze dwell-times. dynamic dwell-times may be tailored to the individual user. for example, a dynamic dwell-time system may be configured to receive data from the user, such as the duration of time the user takes to execute certain actions within applications (e.g., read a word suggestion before actually selecting it). the dynamic dwell-time system may also prevent users from making unintended selections by providing different dwell times for different buttons. specifically, on a user interface, longer dwell times may be established for the critical keys (e.g., “close” program key, “send” key, word suggestions, and the like) and shorter dwell times may be established for the less critical keys (e.g., individual character keys on a virtual keyboard, spacebar, backspace, and the like).

IPC Code(s): G06F21/33

CPC Code(s): G06F21/33



Abstract: a software-based authentication protocol enables a client to be authenticated by a server through a host. the authentication protocol involves using mutable authentication data that changes to deter counterfeiters from making clones of authentic clients. the host requests a token from the client as proof of authenticity. the client establishes a communication channel to the server using the host as a communication proxy. the client presents mutable authentication data to the server. if the server determines that the mutable authentication data is outdated, then the client is deemed a counterfeit. if the server determined that the mutable authentication data is the latest version, then the client is deemed authentic and a token is issued to the client. depending on a set of policies, the server changes the mutable authentication data and sends the new mutable authentication data to the client but not to counterfeit clients.

Inventor(s): Vikas MALIK of Bothell WA (US) for microsoft technology licensing, llc, Nir MARDIKS RAPPAPORT of Bellevue WA (US) for microsoft technology licensing, llc, Vinay Kumar SHIVA of Sunnyvale CA (US) for microsoft technology licensing, llc

IPC Code(s): G06F21/53, G06F9/455, G06F9/54

CPC Code(s): G06F21/53



Abstract: in one or more examples, a network proxy agent runs inside an isolated (e.g. sandboxed or virtualized) execution environment and a non-isolated application (e.g., web browser) instance runs outside of the isolated execution environment. the network proxy agent acts as a proxy in the sense that network traffic to and from the application instance is routed through the network proxy agent, and thus via the isolated execution environment. a content access policy is supplied to the content access policy agent, and the content access policy agent enforces the content access policy inside the isolated execution environment in relation to the network traffic. for example, content from a certain resource may be restricted according to the content access policy, in which case content requested from that resource is contained within the isolated environment, and replacement content is served to the non-isolated application instance instead.
