Patent number: 10433047Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable medium are provided for managing connections of user devices. For example, two source devices may be configured to maintain a data stream with one another. The data stream may enable the two source devices to identify one or more connections between each other and at least a third device. In response to receiving an event that indicates content to be provided to the third device, the data stream may be used by the source devices to configure their network connections with the third device.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2018Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Andreas E.

Publication number: 20180352514Abstract: This disclosure relates to dynamic baseband management for a wireless device. The wireless device may be an accessory device. The accessory device may determine whether it has a short-range wireless communication link with a companion device. The accessory device may determine one or more proximity metrics relating to the companion device. The accessory device may further determine one or more metrics associated with user settings, user activity and/or application activity at the wireless device. The wireless device may select a (e.g., full, limited, or off) baseband operating mode based on any or all of these considerations.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2018Publication date: December 6, 2018Inventors: Ajoy K. Singh, Jared S. Grubb, Madhusudan Chaudhary, Saran Krishnaswamy, Jesus A. Gutierrez Gomez, Sirisha Pillalamarri, Samuel J. Miller, Rohan C. Malthankar, Sergey Sitnikov, Ziv Wolkowicki, Dimitrios Prodanos, Andreas E. Schobel, Christopher P. Saari, Keith W. Rauenbuehler, Rafael L. Rivera-Barreto, Najeeb M. Abdulrahiman

Publication number: 20180338035Abstract: While in a full-duplex live audio communication session with an external device, an electronic device receives control signal data from the external device. In response, the electronic device issues a perceptual notification. After a first predetermined time period since receiving the control signal data, the electronic device receives audio data from the external device. After a second predetermined time period since issuing the perceptual notification, the electronic device outputs the audio data from the speaker.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2017Publication date: November 22, 2018Inventors: Hugh W. JOHNSON, Christopher GARRIDO, Andreas E. SCHOBEL

Publication number: 20170357411Abstract: An electronic device with a touch-sensitive display, one or more processors, and memory detects a first user input. In response to detecting the first user input, the device displays on the touch-sensitive display a user interface screen including a first affordance and a second affordance. The device detects a second user input including a contact on the touch-sensitive display. In accordance with a determination that the contact corresponds to selection of the first affordance, the electronic device is caused to turn off. In accordance with a determination that the contact corresponds to selection of the second affordance, the device causes initiation of a telephone call to a determined number.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2017Publication date: December 14, 2017Inventors: Aled Hywel WILLIAMS, Jonathan P. IVE, Bronwyn JONES, Ieyuki KAWASHIMA, Kevin LYNCH, Natalia MARIC, Andreas E. SCHOBEL, Molly Pray WIEBE

Patent number: 9602661Abstract: A host device may relay notifications to any number of client devices of an incoming call. In response to a hold command from a client device, the host device may connect to the call and place the call in a hold state. For example, when a phone operating as a host device receives an incoming call from a network, the phone may communicate the presence of the incoming call to client device(s), such as laptop, desktop, tablet, or wearable devices that are associated with the host device. When an answer and hold selection is made at a client, an answer and hold communication may be sent from the client device to the host device. The host device may then communicate with the network to connect the call to the host. When the call is connected, the host may mute the call until an answer or disconnect occurs.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2014Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Keith W. Rauenbuehler, Peter A. Laurens, Andreas E Schobel, Nicholas M Fraioli
