Appl. No.:

13/527694

Inventors:

Meir Ben Itay - Sammamish WA, US
Brian Beckman - Necastle WA, US

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G01C 21/34
G06F 15/16

US Classification:

701410

Abstract:

Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for configuring a route-planning module using one or more configuration plug-ins. The route-planning module may be configured to create a driving route, an internet packet route, a social event route, and/or a variety of other routes. A graph used by the route-planning module to create a route may be modified by a graph configuration plug-in, which may add, remove, and/or modify nodes and/or edges within the graph. Attributes associated with edges and/or nodes within the graph may be added, removed, and/or modified by an attribute configuration plug-in. Costs associated with edges and/or turns from a first edge to a second edge at a node may be modified by a cost configuration plug-in. In this way, the route-planning module may be customized using one or more configuration plug-ins (e.g., to accommodate user preferences).

International Classification:

H04L 29/08
G06F 9/54

Abstract:

In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for providing a unified cross-platform experience are provided. A connection between a first device and a second device may be established, wherein the first device operates on a first platform and the second device operates on a second platform. A plurality of executable actions that are specific to the second device may be identified by the first device. Execution of at least one of the plurality of executable actions by the second device may be requested by the an application executed on the first device. Information obtained via execution of the at least one executable action may be received by the first device and the first device may present and/or display that information.

International Classification:

G06N 5/04

Abstract:

One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for identifying a location interest inference for a first user. A first set of user signals (e.g., search history, social network posts, etc.) associated with the first user may be evaluated to identify a first user location interest pattern indicative of location interests of the first user. Social signals (e.g., phone calls, emails, photo tags, shared content, etc.) between the first user and other users may be evaluated to identify a second user having a social activity relevance score above a relationship threshold with respect to the first user. A second user location interest pattern may be generated for the second user based upon user signals associated with the second user. The first user location interest pattern and the second user location interest pattern may be aggregated to create the location interest inference indicative of refined locational interests of the first user.

US Classification:

707723, 707722

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for responding to a search query with search results ranked according to interest circles of a plurality of computer users are presented. Interest circles are formed from a computer user's navigation data, including the computer user's navigation history. A search query is received from a requesting computer user. The search query is directed to a query topic or set of query topics. A set of search results responsive to the search query are obtained. A plurality of computer users, each of the plurality of computer users having an established interest circle corresponding to the query topic, is identified. The set of search results are then ordered according to the interest circles of the identified plurality of computer users. Thereafter, the higher ordered search results are returned to the requesting computer user in response to the search query.
