Patent number: 10387549Abstract: A graphics object can be expressed using procedural language embedded in a markup language document. In an embodiment, a drawing space is specified in markup language. A drawing command to arbitrarily draw a graphics object into the drawing space is specified in procedural language. Interpretation of the markup and procedural language commands results in the rendering of the arbitrary graphics object. In another embodiment, there is a browser comprising a rendering engine, an interpreter, and parser. The rendering engine is configured to interpret a markup language instruction that specifies a drawing space as well as drawing commands in procedural language for drawing an arbitrary graphical object into the drawing space. The parser can then parse the drawing commands and convert them into an execution tree of tree objects.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2016Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Richard Williamson, David Hyatt, John Louch

Publication number: 20130159480Abstract: A web browser program is for execution by a client computer connectable to a plurality of server computers via a computer network. The web browser program automatically reconfigures chrome of a user interface to the web browser program to provide a user access to any one of a plurality of groups of related information. A content display program module is configured to receive content data from a current server computer that is one of the plurality of server computers. The content display program module causes a display, on a content portion of the a display of the client computer, that corresponds to the content data. A chrome display program module is configured to cause a display of chrome on a chrome portion of the client computer display that corresponds to chrome specifiers in a chrome configuration database.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2012Publication date: June 20, 2013Inventors: David Hyatt, Ramanathan Guha

Patent number: 7797643Abstract: A user interface comprises an interactive control and method for quickly changing the amount of text displayed in each item in a list of text items. The control allows the user to choose from a large range of choices for how much text is displayed and provides live updates of the changes. The method saves the user time by eliminating the need to refresh the screen when changing the amount of text displayed.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2004Date of Patent: September 14, 2010Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Steven P. Jobs, Stephen O. Lemay, Jessica Kahn, Sarah Wilkin, David Hyatt, Jens Alfke, Wayne Loofbourrow

Patent number: 7428709Abstract: In a scrollable user interface window including two or more panels, a single scroll bar scrolls all of the panels. Panels move in lock-step with one another at certain times, but not at other times, depending on whether the lock-step scrolling would cause blank areas to be displayed. If the user's scroll commands would result in a blank area of a panel being displayed, the scroll command is not performed; rather, the panel remains frozen in its current position, even while other panel(s) do scroll. Thus, the present invention ensures that useful content is displayed at all times in all panels, and no screen real estate is wasted due to scrolling operations.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2005Date of Patent: September 23, 2008Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Scott James Forstall, Gregory N. Christie, Kevin John Tiene, Donald Dale Melton, Stephen Lemay, Wayne Russell Loofbourrow, Jessica Kahn, David Hyatt
