Ying Xie

Title: Ying Xie: Inventor of Communication Session Downtime Innovations.

Introduction

Ying Xie is an inventor based in Sammamish, Washington. His work includes patented approaches to managing communication sessions during device reboots. He is associated with Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLC, and holds 2 patents.

Latest Patents

Xie’s listed patents address how computing devices maintain communication sessions while a device or driver reboots.

“System and method for increasing permitted session downtime” describes adjusting the number of missed handshake signals a receiving device tolerates before ending a communication session. Before the first device reboots, the expected number of consecutive handshakes is increased, allowing the session to remain active through a longer interruption.

“System and method for reducing permitted session downtime” describes temporarily shortening the interval between signals during a reboot. The interval changes from X seconds to Y seconds when the reboot begins, then returns to X seconds after the driver reboot is complete.

Career Highlights

Xie’s patent work focuses on communication reliability and session management. The two inventions use complementary strategies: one increases tolerance for missed signals, while the other sends signals more frequently during a reboot.

Collaborations

His listed coworkers include Vaibhav Hemant Dixit and Saikrishna Arcot. His association with Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLC connects his inventions with the company’s technology licensing activities.

Conclusion

Ying Xie’s two patents present complementary methods for managing communication sessions during reboots, balancing session continuity with timely detection of interruptions.
