Patent number: 11785584Abstract: A distributed resource model is described that maintains traits of resources in a distributed computing system. The traits include properties, commands, and events that, along with protocols operating in the distributed computing system, provide real-time access to the traits of resources in the distributed computing system, as well as real-time command of controls for the resources. Controllers manage and publish the traits of resources and provide various types of functionality, such as arbitration, complexity management, fan-out of capabilities, coordination, adaptation, and resource proxying.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2022Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: Google LLCInventors: John P. Kozura, Lann Martin, Robert Collier Barnes, Grant Michael Erickson, John G. Macleod, Jeffery T. Lee, Prashant P. Reddy, Gregory Rourk Nelson, Jay D. Logue, Jerry Johns

Patent number: 10735118Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for accessing broadcast media items and segments from non-broadcast sources. In response to detecting that a user has not finished listening to a broadcast segment (e.g., a radio segment), an electronic device can automatically identify and access an alternate, non-broadcast source for the same broadcast segment (e.g., a corresponding podcast episode). Using the electronic device, a user can play back the segment from the non-broadcast source, starting playback at the last position of the broadcast segment when the user stopped listening to the broadcast. In some embodiments, the electronic device can update library counts (e.g., play counts and new/not new tags) based on media items and segments played back as part of a media broadcast.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2017Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Michael Ingrassia, Jeffery T.

Patent number: 10061351Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for docking a portable user device to a docking device or adapter via a clip mechanism. A portable user device may include two clip members which rotate relative to one another about an axis. A coupling pivot may be coupled to both clip members to facilitate relative rotation, and may provide a clamping force between the clip members. One or more terminals may be located on at least one of the clip members, allowing data transfer, charging, or other functions when the portable user device is docked using the clip mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2015Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jeffery T. Lee, Scott Krueger

Patent number: 9921727Abstract: Providing an alternative human interface for an electronic device when a current human interface is made ineffective by at least an environmental factor is described herein. By ineffective it is meant that the current human interface cannot maintain a minimum level of interactivity between a user and the electronic device in the current or anticipated environment. In addition to maintaining at least a threshold level of interactivity, the configuration of the alternative human interface can take into consideration other factors such as an expected operating state of the electronic device affected by the choice of alternative human interface.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2016Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jesse W.

Patent number: 9462033Abstract: A user can proof (e.g., view, review) an electronic publication on a portable device. When the user finds errors in the electronic publication on the portable device, the user can edit the electronic publication on the editing device. The changes can be automatically synchronized with the portable device and displayed so that the user can review the changes and continue proofing the electronic publication on the portable device. In some implementations, an editing device can monitor files associated with an electronic publication for changes to the files and, when changes are detected, the files can be automatically synchronized to a portable device coupled to the editing device.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2012Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jeffery T. Lee, Alan C. Cannistraro, Melissa Breglio Hajj, Casey M. Dougherty, Ryan S. Lynch
