Patent number: 11934647Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for using modularized digital editing action blocks in a graphical user interface to generate and apply a variety of advanced modifications to a digital image. The disclosed systems can categorize the digital editing action blocks into digital editing action categories from which a user can select a digital editing action block and insert into a field of a node compositor. Once the digital editing action block is arranged at a compatible field within the digital editing user interface, the snap effects system can execute the digital editing action block to create a particular graphical effect according to the positional configuration of the digital editing action block within the node compositor. In turn, the snap effects system can save the action-block configuration within the node compositor and facilitate additional use and/or sharing thereof.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Holger Winnemoeller, Blake Williford

Patent number: 11928483Abstract: An electronic device presents a user interface including an output property that represents a first type of output. The device detects a first input associated with modifying the first type of output via a first behavior model, and changes the output property over time based on the first behavior model and updates the user interface based on the changes in the output property. While updating the user interface, the device detects a change to the user input; and changes the output property over time based on a second behavior model based on: a value of the output property determined based on the first behavior model; and a first derivative of the value of the output property with respect to time determined based on the first behavior model. The device updates the user interface based on the changes in the output property that occur based on the second behavior model.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2017Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Brandon M.

Patent number: 11775160Abstract: Example implementations may involve using a prompt to prevent inadvertent control or playback of audio content. When a mobile device receives input data indicating a command to play back audio content on a first playback device, the mobile device determines whether the mobile device is in proximity to the first playback device. If the mobile device determines that the mobile device within a given proximity to the first playback device, the mobile device transmits, via the network interface, one or more commands to instruct the first playback device to play back the audio content. However, if the mobile device determines that the mobile device outside the proximity, the mobile device displays a prompt indicating that the mobile device is the outside the given proximity to the first playback device and a selectable control that, when selected, transmits the one or more commands to play back the audio content.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2020Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Sonos, Inc.Inventor: Paul Andrew Bates

Patent number: 11694794Abstract: Inadvertent activation of a portable medical device such as an ambulatory infusion pump can be reduced by locking a touchscreen of the device when it is indicated that an uninterrupted operation is to be performed. When a processor receives a device operation input from the touchscreen that indicates an uninterrupted operation is to be performed on the portable device, the touchscreen is automatically locked such that touch input at the touchscreen is not processed by the processor to navigate between or among menu screens or set pump parameters. Following completion of the uninterrupted operation, the touchscreen can be unlocked. In one embodiment, the touchscreen can be unlocked by selection of an unlock icon on the touchscreen.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2016Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc.Inventors: Jason A.
