Patent number: 10867124Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed in which a process receives annotation inputs for annotations of a document. The annotation inputs may be grouped together into clusters based at least in part on a functional relationship between the timing of annotation inputs and the paths of the annotation inputs across an electronic display. The annotation inputs may be associated with portions of the document based at least in part on the shape of the paths of the annotation inputs, the sequence of annotation inputs, or the locations of the annotation inputs. Additionally, the paths of the annotation inputs to portions of the document may be modified in response to modifications of the portion of the document data.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2018Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jiva Gandhara DeVoe, John Henry Sturgeon, James Vernon Van Boxtel, Elden G. Wood, III, Kevin Raemon Glyn Smyth, Evan Sean Torchin

Patent number: 9244605Abstract: An electronic device displays at least a portion of an electronic document with a predefined page layout at a first magnification level on a display; detects a first input indicating a first insertion point in the document, where the first insertion point is proximate to a first portion of text in the document; and in response to detecting the first input: selects a second magnification level different from the first magnification level, where the second magnification level is selected so as to display the first portion of text at a target text display size, and, while maintaining the predefined page layout of the document, displays, at the second magnification level, a portion of the document that includes the first portion of text.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2011Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Christopher Douglas Weeldreyer, Martin J. Murrett, Matthew Todd Schomer, Kevin Raemon Glyn Smyth, Ian Joseph Elseth

Patent number: 9223548Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for providing an application canvas framework which facilitates the manipulation of text and graphics within a web browser. During operation, the system receives a command from a user at a web browser to execute a web-based application. In response to the command, the system loads the web-based application which includes an application canvas framework within the web browser, wherein the application canvas framework provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) that facilitates the manipulation of text and graphics within the web browser. Note that the application canvas framework can be browser independent and/or platform independent.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2008Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Martin James Murrett, Christopher E. Rudolph, Kevin Raemon Glyn Smyth

Publication number: 20100070913Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates selecting items of content in a graphical user interface (GUI) for a portable computing device. During operation, the system receives an indication that the portable computing device has been rotated. In response to the rotation, the system presents the user with a detailed list of items of content. Next, the system receives a command from the user to set a focus of the GUI to an item of content in the list. In response to the command, the system shifts the focus to the item of content. Next, the system receives an indication that the portable computing device has been rotated back toward an original orientation. In response to the rotation back, the system selects the item of content.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2008Publication date: March 18, 2010Applicant: APPLE INC.Inventors: Martin James Murrett, Christopher E.
