Patent number: 9118642Abstract: A device streams assets to network-based storage, and servers administering the network-based storage operate to notify other authorized devices that the assets are available to download, including initiating the download of assets automatically or in response to user input. With streaming enabled on their device, a user is able to make assets, such as digital photograph, video or other type of media file, data file, or other type of electronic content, available immediately to all of their other devices and to other users having permission to follow assets streamed by their device. Servers secure access to the stream of assets, on both an account level and an asset level in accordance with asset metadata registered for the assets during streaming.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2011Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: David Rahardja, Hernan R. Eguiluz, Miguel S. Sanchez-Sandoval, Stan Jirman

Patent number: 9001230Abstract: Many cameras have the ability to capture an image and generate metadata associated with the image. Such image metadata may include focus point metadata information that may be indicative of the potential focus points available to the camera as well as which one or more of those potential focus points were utilized to capture the image. As the location of a focus point used during image capture is generally intended to coincide with the location of the photographer's main area of interest within the image, such focus point metadata can be accessed during image editing and used to zoom in to the captured image at that focus point location. Performing a “smart-zoom” based on an image's focus point metadata may save time and reduce frustration during the image editing process.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2013Date of Patent: April 7, 2015Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventor: Stan Jirman

Publication number: 20130263057Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing digital images is provided. A collection of digital images may be managed using a digital image system that displays images using groups, stacks, and versions. A group is a set of unordered digital images that may be visually represented, in a first state, using a representative image, and in a second state, by each digital image in the group. Stacks are similar to groups, except that each digital image in a stack has a rank, and each digital image in the stack is depicted in order of its rank. Versions are similar to groups, except that one or more images in the group are derived from another image in the group.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2013Publication date: October 3, 2013Inventors: Randy Ubillos, Laurent Perrodin, Dan Waylonis, Stan Jirman, Sarah Brody, Mike Mages

Patent number: 8423982Abstract: The invention is a method and apparatus for use in developing a program. More particularly, a method and apparatus for compiling a source code program during editing of the same is disclosed, where editing can be initial entry or modification subsequent to initial entry. The method comprises compiling at least a portion of a source code program defined by a waypoint during the editing of the source code program. In other aspects, the invention includes a program storage medium encoded with instructions that, when executed, perform this method and a computer programmed to perform this method. The apparatus includes a computing apparatus, comprising a text editor through which a source code program may be entered; and a compiler that may compile the source code program. The control block is capable of determining at least one waypoint in the source code program and invoking the compiler to compile the source code program up to the waypoint.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2011Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Theodore C.

Publication number: 20100269101Abstract: An event logging and analysis mechanism which creates an event object for event of an application to be logged. The event logging mechanism logs into the event object the start time, end time and other information regarding the event. The analysis of the collected event objects may include hierarchical and contextual grouping as well as aggregation of events considered to be identical. The mechanism operates independent of the application whose events it logs and can be turned on and off independently. A user may define the levels of hierarchy and contexts upon which to analyze the event objects.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2010Publication date: October 21, 2010Inventors: Stan Jirman, Charles Lloyd, Patrice Gautier

Patent number: 7804508Abstract: A method and apparatus for viewing digital images is provided. A digital image may be viewed using a digital image system that employs a virtual loupe. A virtual loupe comprises a lens region and a target region. The lens region and the target region may each be a bounded area displayed on a display. A user may position the target region over a digital image displayed on the display to cause a depiction of visual information associated with the target region to be displayed in the lens region. The user can configure the virtual loupe to display visual information in the lens region at different levels of magnification. The lens may automatically move and change in orientation with respect to the target region as the target region moves on the display to ensure that the display of the lens region on the display is always unobscured.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2004Date of Patent: September 28, 2010Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Randy Ubillos, Stan Jirman

Patent number: 7746360Abstract: A method and apparatus for viewing digital images is provided. A digital image may be viewed using a digital image system that employs a virtual loupe. A virtual loupe comprises a lens region and a target region. A user may position the target region over a portion of a screen, which may correspond to a digital image, to cause a depiction of visual information associated with the portion of the screen identified by target region to be displayed in the lens region. The user can configure the virtual loupe to display visual information in the lens region at different levels of magnification. The lens may automatically move and change in orientation with respect to the target region as the target region moves on the display to ensure that the display of the lens region on the display is always unobscured.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2007Date of Patent: June 29, 2010Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Randy Ubillos, Stan Jirman
