Patent number: 11126295Abstract: An electronic device with a touch-sensitive surface displays a user interface of a first software application that is updated at a first display rate. While displaying a first frame of the user interface in accordance with the first display rate, the device detects respective movement of a touch input across the touch-sensitive surface. An application-independent touch processing module of the device selects a respective touch location of the touch input that was detected during the respective movement to identify as a representative touch location for the respective movement based on touch-processing criteria for the first software application, and sends to an application-specific portion of the first software application touch location information for the touch input that identifies the respective touch location as the representative touch location for the respective movement. The first software application updates the user interface in accordance with the touch location information.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2020Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Bruce D. Nilo, David Michael Chan, Jacob A. Xiao, Jason Clay Beaver

Patent number: 10936358Abstract: In some implementations, a mobile device can be configured to monitor environmental, system and user events. The occurrence of one or more events can trigger adjustments to system settings. In some implementations, the mobile device can be configured to keep frequently invoked applications up to date based on a forecast of predicted invocations by the user. In some implementations, the mobile device can receive push notifications associated with applications that indicate that new content is available for the applications to download. The mobile device can launch the applications associated with the push notifications in the background and download the new content. In some implementations, before running an application or accessing a network interface, the mobile device can be configured to check energy and data budgets and environmental conditions of the mobile device to preserve a high quality user experience.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2019Date of Patent: March 2, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: David Michael Chan, John Iarocci, Gaurav Kapoor, Kit-Man Wan, Phillip Stanley-Marbell, Jonathan J.

Patent number: 10613656Abstract: An electronic device, with a touch-sensitive surface and display, displays a user interface at a first display rate. While displaying the user interface, the device detects movement of a touch input across the touch-sensitive surface at a first detection rate that is higher than the first display rate. An application-independent touch processing module sends to an application-specific portion of the first software application touch location information for the touch input that identifies: one or more predicted locations of the touch input on the touch-sensitive surface, and one or more predicted intensity values of the touch input at one or more intensity locations of the touch input on the touch-sensitive surface. The first software application processes the touch location information and updated the user interface accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2018Date of Patent: April 7, 2020Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Bruce D.

Patent number: 10241599Abstract: An electronic device, with a touch-sensitive surface and display, displays a user interface at a first display rate. While displaying the user interface in accordance with the first display rate, the device detects movement of a touch input, including detecting the touch input at a first set of sequential locations on the touch-sensitive surface, including a plurality of locations on the touch-sensitive surface, and predicts for the touch input a first set of one or more predicted locations on the touch-sensitive surface based on multiple locations in the first set of sequential locations. The device updates the user interface in accordance with the first set of one or more predicted locations of the touch input on the touch-sensitive surface.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2015Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Bruce D.

Patent number: 8738882Abstract: In a method of writing data to a file system on a solid state drive, a file stream is opened for writing to a file in the file system. A life expectancy value predicting a length of time the data to be written will be stored in the file system is attached to the file stream. The data is written to the file stream and stored on the solid state storage device according to the life expectancy value attached to the data. In one embodiment, a unique identifier may be used as the life expectancy value for writing a group of related files predicted to be stored in the file system for substantially the same length of time. The life expectancy value may be predicted based on a file type of the file being written. The life expectancy value may be stored as metadata for the file being written.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2011Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Daniel Jeffrey Post, Erik C. Neuenschwander, Daniel E. Crosby, Ken Herman, David Michael Chan, Benjamin H. Nham
