Patent number: 11662867Abstract: Some touch screens can be formed with rows and columns of touch electrodes. In some examples, during a first time period, a first set of row electrodes are driven while a second set of row electrodes are sensed. In some examples, during a second time period, the first set of row electrodes are sensed while the second set of row electrodes are driven. In some examples, during a third time period, a first set of column electrodes are driven while a second set of column electrodes are sensed. In some examples, during a fourth time period, the first set of column electrodes are sensed while the second set of column electrodes are driven. In some examples, a touch image can be generated based on the data sensed from the first, second, third, and fourth time periods.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2021Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Christoph H.

Patent number: 9952957Abstract: A method for dynamically modifying a characteristic for an electronic device. The method includes activating by a processor a first profile having a first characteristic setting and a first state for an input/output (IO) device. Once the first profile is activated, receiving an input by a sensor and communicating the input to the processor. The method then includes activating by the processor a second profile having a second characteristic setting and a second state for the IO device. The second profile modifies a component of the IO device to include a second characteristic setting and a second state.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2016Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Christopher T. Mullens, Jesse Michael Devine, Marco Sebastiani, Nima Parivar

Patent number: 9448809Abstract: Systems and methods related to providing peripheral device functionality is described herein. In one embodiment, a method of operating a host computing device is described. The method includes communicatively coupling with a keyboard and querying the keyboard for a descriptor. Receiving the descriptor from the keyboard, wherein the descriptor includes data representative of a language, layout, and key mappings for the keyboard. Storing the data from the descriptor at the host and publishing strings for proper translation and interpretation of input received from the keyboard.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2011Date of Patent: September 20, 2016Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Nima Parivar, Jesse Michael Devine, Christopher T.

Patent number: 9361822Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to systems and techniques for applying color adjustments to a display. In certain embodiments, the color adjustment techniques may be employed to transition current color correction values, which are based on a previously detected temperature of the display, to target correction values, which are based on a presently detected temperature of the display. Adjustment increments for each color channel of the display may be determined based on the color channel that has the largest difference between the current color correction value and the target color correction value. In particular, the number of adjustment steps may be determined so that the adjustment increment for each channel is less than or equal to a maximum adjustment increment.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2011Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Kelsey Yukio Ho, Abhijit Bhattacharya, Christopher William Baldwin, Gabriel Gheorghe Marcu, Jesse Michael Devine

Patent number: 9135889Abstract: A method for adjusting the characteristics of a display. The method for adjusting the characteristics of the display may include constructing color models as a function of a parameter such as temperature. Furthermore, the color model may be used to determine adjustment values to be applied to a display. The adjustment values may be organized in a table as a function of temperature and color values. The adjustment values may be determined from measurements.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2008Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Gabriel G. Marcu, Benjamin John Becher, Wei Chen, Steve Swen, Jesse Michael Devine

Patent number: 5786803Abstract: A system for correcting an output device for the effects reflected ambient illumination comprises an output device, a calibration memory, a reflectivity memory, a system memory, a processor, an input device, a video card, a color display memory, and a reflection device of known reflectivity. The color display memory stores a first graphical interface and a second graphical interface. The first graphical interface displays a range of intensities of outputs that the display device can generate. The second graphical interface displays a range of hues that the display device can generate. The reflection device defines an aperture. The reflection device is compared to the first graphical interface and the second graphical interface by viewing the interfaces through the aperture. The present invention includes a method for compensating an output device for reflected ambient illumination.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 1994Date of Patent: July 28, 1998Assignee: Apple Computer, Inc.Inventors: Mathew Hernandez, Richard D.
