Publication number: 20210306812Abstract: Systems and methods for proactively identifying and surfacing relevant content on an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display are disclosed herein. In one aspect, a method includes presenting content in a first application. At least a portion of the content is presented without requiring input from a user. The method further includes receiving a request to open a second application. In response to receiving the request, the second application is presented with an input-receiving field. Before receiving any user input at the input-receiving field, a selectable user interface object is displayed with an indication that the portion of the content was viewed in the first application, allowing the user to paste at least the portion of the content into the input-receiving field. In response to detecting a selection of the selectable user interface object, the portion of the content is pasted into the input-receiving field.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2021Publication date: September 30, 2021Inventors: Daniel C.

Publication number: 20190347335Abstract: A probabilistic hash map can be used to store category information for large numbers of website in a relatively small amount of data. Retrieving the values can be performed with high accuracy and speed. The map consists of a set of buckets capable of storing data. Values are programmed into or retrieved from the map for each key by storing or retrieving the value(s) in association with an initial hash of the key within a subset of buckets of the map, the subset of buckets being selected based on additional hashes of the key. Value(s) can be stored inherently or via reference to a value index, which itself can embed values or further reference to larger payloads of value information.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2018Publication date: November 14, 2019Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Karl Christian Kohlschuetter, John L.

Patent number: 10200824Abstract: Systems and methods for proactively assisting users with accurately locating a parked vehicle are disclosed herein. An example method includes: automatically, and without instructions from a user: determining that a user of the electronic device is in a vehicle that has come to rest at a geographic location. Upon determining that the user has left the vehicle at the geographic location, the method includes automatically, and without instructions from a user: determining whether positioning information, retrieved from the location sensor to identify the geographic location, satisfies accuracy criteria. Upon determining that the positioning information does not satisfy the accuracy criteria, the method includes: providing a prompt to the user to input information about the geographic location. In response to providing the prompt, the method includes receiving information from the user about the geographic location and storing the information as vehicle location information.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2016Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Daniel C.
