Patent number: 10460529Abstract: A computer system having a display generation component and one or more input devices displays a representation of a virtual three-dimensional object in a user interface region. In response to an input for rotating the object, when the input corresponds to a request to rotate the object about a first axis, the object is rotated by an amount that is determined based on a magnitude of the input and is constrained by a limit on the movement restricting rotation by more than a threshold amount. When the input corresponds to a request to rotate the object about a second axis, the object is rotated relative to the second axis by an amount that is determined based on a magnitude of the input, wherein, for an input with a magnitude above a respective threshold, the device rotates the object by more than the threshold amount of rotation.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2018Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Jonathan R.

Patent number: 10438407Abstract: This disclosure provides a method for providing spatial gradients of 3D CAD models of solid objects with respect to various parameters used in defining the solid object. A modeler is designed and implemented to provide spatial gradients of solid objects (when represented on a computer as 3D CAD models) with respect to the various parameters that define the objects. Although primarily based on finite difference operations, several additional steps are performed to ensure that the gradients computed are correct and valid for a general class of solid objects and the parameters that define the objects. No commercially available 3D CAD tool provides such ability for a general class of solid objects.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2018Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: AERION INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT CORPORATIONInventors: Sushrut S.
