    Microsoft’s latest patent addresses misalignment issue of dual-display system


    Microsoft has patented yet another design for a dual-display device. The latest patent is about “multi-display systems” which could be a traditional desktop, notebook or table computers, hand-held personal digital assistants (PDAs). It appears that the patent has nothing to do with the long-rumoured Andromeda dual-screen device as there’s no mention of the hinge in the patent application.

    First discovered by us, the patent titled “MULTI-DISPLAY SYSTEM” was published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office on August 9, 2018 and it was filed by Microsoft in February 2017.

    The patent basically explains the techniques that would correct misalignment issues in a multi-display system by identifying a misalignment between a plurality of displays in the multi-display device.

    “As computer systems have increased in power and capacity that allow for multiple applications to run concurrently, it has become commonplace for computer systems to include more than one display device or monitor. Systems with multiple displays (or “multi-display systems”), however, are not limited to traditional desktop systems. Instead, multi-display systems can be implemented in a variety of systems, including notebook or table computers, hand-held personal digital assistants (PDAs), multiscreen television systems, etc. Even further, many multi-display systems are implemented without being connected to a computer system,” Microsoft writes in the background section of the patent.

    “Techniques of the present disclosure correct misalignment in a multi-display system by identifying the misalignment between a plurality of displays and determining a line start position of at least one of the plurality of displays to correct the misalignment. Accordingly, the techniques may include adjusting the line start position by transmitting a first line start signal at a modified line start position determined to correct the misalignment between a plurality of displays,” the company explains the patent application.

    Microsoft and TomTom Settle Patent Infringement Cases

    Microsoft Corp. and TomTom N.V. today announced that they have settled the patent infringement cases brought by Microsoft before the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington and the International Trade Commission (ITC) and by TomTom in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.
    The cases have been settled through a patent agreement under which TomTom will pay Microsoft for coverage under the eight car navigation and file management systems patents in the Microsoft case. Also as part of the agreement, Microsoft receives coverage under the four patents included in the TomTom countersuit. The agreement, which has a five-year term, does not require any payment by Microsoft to TomTom. It covers both past and future U.S. sales of the relevant products. The specific financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.


    The agreement includes patent coverage for Microsoft’s three file management systems patents provided in a manner that is fully compliant with TomTom’s obligations under the General Public License Version 2 (GPLv2). TomTom will remove from its products the functionality related to two file management system patents (the “FAT LFN patents”), which enables efficient naming, organizing, storing and accessing of file data. TomTom will remove this functionality within two years, and the agreement provides for coverage directly to TomTom’s end customers under these patents during that time.

    Horacio Gutierrez, corporate vice president and deputy general counsel of Intellectual Property and Licensing, Microsoft Corporation, stated:

    “We are pleased TomTom has chosen to resolve the litigation amicably by entering into a patent agreement. Our car navigation patents, which are at the heart of the enhanced auto experience enjoyed by millions of drivers today, have been licensed to many companies, including leaders in the car navigation sector. The file management system patents, which increase file management system efficiency and functionality, have also been licensed by many companies, including those that produce mixed source products.

    We were able to work with TomTom to develop a patent agreement that addresses their needs and ours in a pragmatic way. When addressing IP infringement issues, there are two possible paths: securing patent coverage or not using the technology at issue. Through this agreement, TomTom is choosing a combination of both paths to meet the unique needs of its business, and we are glad to help them do so.”

    Peter Spours, Director of IP Strategy and Transactions at TomTom N.V., stated:

    “This agreement puts an end to the litigation between our two companies. It is drafted in a way that ensures TomTom’s full compliance with its obligations under the GPLv2, and thus reaffirms our commitment to the open source community.”
