Patent number: 11943191Abstract: Techniques for live location sharing are described. A first mobile device and a second mobile device can communicate with one another using an IM program. The first mobile device can receive a user input to share a location of the first mobile device in the IM program. Sharing the location can include causing the second mobile device to display a location of the first mobile device in an IM program user interface on the second mobile device. Duration of sharing the location can be user-configurable. The second mobile device may or may not share a location of the second device for display in the IM program executing on the first mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2019Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Roberto Garcia, Eugene M. Bistolas, Justin Wood, Lawrence Yuan Yang, Scott Lopatin, Richard R. Dellinger

Patent number: 11893233Abstract: An electronic device, while displaying a user interface with a favored navigation axis, detects first movement of a contact on a touch-sensitive surface that includes a first component along the favored navigation axis and a second component in a direction different from the favored navigation axis. In response, if first movement meets direction-lock termination criteria, the device moves one or more user interface objects in two dimensions in accordance with both components of the first movement; and if first movement does not meet the direction-lock termination criteria, the device moves user interface objects in one dimension along the favored navigation axis in accordance with the first component of the first movement. After meeting the direction-lock termination criteria, in response to continued second movement of the contact, the device moves user interface objects in accordance with the second movement without regard to whether the second movement meets the direction-lock termination criteria.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2022Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Nicholas Zambetti, Chanaka G. Karunamuni, Imran Chaudhri, Christopher P. Foss, Eugene M. Bistolas, Kyle S. Macomber, Keith W. Rauenbuehler, Lee S. Broughton, Arnold Freidling

Patent number: 11334238Abstract: An electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface displays a user interface with a plurality of content units, where the content units are arranged along a first axis in the user interface, and a respective content unit is associated with corresponding metadata. The device detects a contact on the touch-sensitive surface and a first movement of the contact. In response to detecting the first movement of the contact, the device moves a first set of one or more of the content units perpendicular to the first axis in the user interface in accordance with the first movement, and for one or more respective content units in the first set of content units, the device displays metadata for the respective content unit adjacent to the respective content unit that was not displayed immediately prior to detecting the first movement of the contact.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2014Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Nicholas Zambetti, Chanaka G. Karunamuni, Imran Chaudhri, Christopher P. Foss, Eugene M. Bistolas, Kyle S. Macomber, Keith W. Rauenbuehler, Lee S. Broughton, Arnold Freidling

Patent number: 11301129Abstract: An electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface displays a user interface with a first electronic message, where the first electronic message is associated with corresponding message time metadata. While displaying the first electronic message, the electronic device detects only a single contact on the touch-sensitive surface and detect a first movement of only the single contact. In response to detecting the first movement of only the single contact, display message time metadata for the first electronic message adjacent to the first electronic messages, wherein the message time metadata was not displayed immediately prior to detecting the first movement of the single contact.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 2019Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Nicholas Zambetti, Chanaka G. Karunamuni, Imran Chaudhri, Christopher P. Foss, Eugene M. Bistolas, Kyle S. Macomber, Keith W. Rauenbuehler, Lee S. Broughton, Arnold Freidling
