Publication number: 20210326016Abstract: At least certain embodiments of the present disclosure include an environment with user interface software interacting with a software application. A method for operating through an application programming interface (API) in this environment includes transferring a set bounce call. The method further includes setting at least one of maximum and minimum bounce values. The set bounce call causes a bounce of a scrolled region in an opposite direction of a scroll based on a region past an edge of the scrolled region being visible in a display region at the end of the scroll.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2020Publication date: October 21, 2021Inventors: Andrew PLATZER, Scott HERZ

Patent number: 10963142Abstract: An electronic device with a display, a touch-sensitive surface, and software code configured to interact with applications and provide the applications with an application programming interface (API) for performing gesture operations in response to a user input detected on the touch-sensitive surface, detects, via the software code, a drag input that includes movement of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to movement over a displayed scrollable region in an application. While detecting the drag input, the device scrolls on the display, via the software code, the scrollable region of the application in accordance with the drag input. After detecting an end of the drag input, the device continues to scroll on the display, via the software code, the scrollable region in accordance with the drag input including slowing the scroll to a stop over time in accordance with a deceleration factor set using the API.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2017Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Andrew Platzer, Scott Herz

Patent number: 10936190Abstract: A device with a multi-touch panel and a computer readable medium storing software for displaying a user interface on the multi-touch panel detects a touch at the multi-touch panel. The device sends to the software a touch data structure for defining a state of the touch at a particular time. The touch data structure includes: a location field indicating a location where the touch was or is being received on the multi-touch panel; a phase field defining a phase of the touch at the particular time, the phase of the touch being selected from a plurality of predefined phase state values; and a view field indicating a view, of a plurality of views corresponding to portions of the displayed user interface, that corresponds to the location where the touch was or is being received on the multi-touch panel.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2019Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Jason Clay Beaver, Andrew Platzer
