Publication number: 20140351697Abstract: Methods, systems, and machine readable tangible storage media that can provide for smooth and seamless opening of a file from, for example, a preview are described. A preview of a file can be generated by a non-native viewer or reader application and in response to a command to open a file in a native application, the preview can continue to be displayed while the native application launches such that a user will perceive no interruption in display of the content. The non-native application can pass a display state (e.g. a page number or scroll position) to the native application such that the native application continues to show a user's current position or view port into the file.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2014Publication date: November 27, 2014Inventors: Julien Robert, Julien Jalon

Publication number: 20140222785Abstract: Various methods, machine readable media, and data processing systems for performing searches and presenting the results of the searches. In one exemplary method, a user input causes a search in a mode based upon at least one field attribute designating a person and causes results of the search to be presented. This method may include filtering files which do not include matching people identifiers in certain selected fields. Other methods include allowing searching with a predetermined syntax; prepopulating a search result window with results of a default search before receiving a user input containing search input terms; displaying selectable terms from a file found in a search, the selection of those terms causing another search; displaying previews or other representations of files found in a search where the previews are resizable or zoomable or pageable.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2014Publication date: August 7, 2014Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Yan Arrouye, Jonah Petri, Toby Paterson, Julien Robert, Julien Jalon, Scott Forstall

Patent number: 8762887Abstract: User interfaces for browsing and/or searching are described. In some embodiments, the metadata of a file includes a field having an indicator to indicate whether a preview of the content of the file is available. If the preview is available, then a plug-in associated with the creator application of the file is executed to present the preview within the icon. Furthermore, if the preview is interactive according to the metadata, then various user interface control may be generated to allow users to manipulate the presentation of the preview. Other embodiments are also described, and computer readable media and apparatuses are also described.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2008Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Julien Jalon, Julien Robert, Alexandre Carlhian

Patent number: 8607166Abstract: User interfaces for browsing and/or searching are described. In some embodiments, an icon representing a file is displayed in a graphical user interface (GUI), where the icon includes one or more predefined decorations. The decorations may be chosen based on the file type, such as slide decorations for presentations, a foldover for documents, etc. This may also be referred to as type conformance. A preview of the content of the file is presented within the icon without launching an application which has created the file (also referred to as the creator application). The pre-defined decorations on the icon may be maintained on the icon while the preview of the content of the file is presented. The format of the icon (e.g., shape of the icon, size of the icon, etc.) may be maintained as well during presentation of the preview. Other embodiments are also described, and computer readable media and apparatuses are also described.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2008Date of Patent: December 10, 2013Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Julien Jalon, Julien Robert, Cedric Bray, Alexandre Carlhian, Alexandre Moha

Publication number: 20130290291Abstract: Embodiments of tokenized search suggestions include generating, by at least one suggestion engine executing on a data processing system, first suggestions based on first text input in a text input field. The first suggestions are displayed on a display device and a selection of one of the first suggestions is received. The first text input is replaced with a first token corresponding to the selected one of the first suggestions. The at least one suggestion engine generates second suggestions based on second text input in the text input field and filters the second suggestions using the selected one of the first suggestions. The filtered selections are displayed on a display device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2013Publication date: October 31, 2013Inventors: Wayne R.
