Patent number: 10795541Abstract: Techniques for processing task items are provided. A task item is electronic data that represents a task to be performed, whether manually or automatically. A task item includes one or more details about its corresponding task, such as a description of the task and a location of the task. Specifically, techniques for generating task items, organizing task items, triggering notifications of task items, and consuming task items are described. In one approach, a task item is generated based on input from a user and context of the input. In another approach, different attributes of task items are used to organize the task items intelligently into multiple lists. In another approach, actions other than the generation of notification are enabled or automatically performed, actions such as emailing, calling, texting, and searching.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2016Date of Patent: October 6, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Thomas R. Gruber, Alessandro Sabatelli, Alexandre Aybes, Donald W. Pitschel, Edward D. Voas, Freddy Allen Anzures, Paul D. Marcos

Patent number: 10397470Abstract: A digital image capture system and method uses a display device to illuminate a target with light for improved image capture under poor lighting conditions. Various characteristics of the flash (e.g., brightness, color, duration, etc.) can be adjusted to improve image capture. Users are provided with feedback (e.g., live video feed, audio and/or visual countdowns, etc.) to assist them in preparing for image capture. The captured images are seamlessly integrated with existing applications (e.g., video conferencing, instant text messaging, etc.).Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2018Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jean-Pierre Ciudad, Alexandre Aybes, Peter Westen, Gregory N. Christie, Scott Forstall

Patent number: 10379728Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, a graphical user interface on a portable multifunction device with a touch screen display includes: an application interface of an application that includes an application interface region with an edge; and a search input area for entering a search query for the application. In response to detecting a movement of an object on or near the touch screen display, the application interface region is translated on the touch screen display in a first direction. In response to the edge of the application interface region being crossed while translating the application interface region in the first direction while the object is still detected on or near the touch screen display, the edge of the application interface region is displayed, and the search input area is displayed in an area beyond the application interface region.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2012Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Marcel Van Os, Stephen O. Lemay, Paul D. Marcos, Alexandre Aybes, Scott Forstall
