  • Devices, Methods, and Graphical User Interfaces for Interacting with Three-Dimensional Environments
    Publication number: 20240152244
    Abstract: While displaying an application user interface, a device detects a first input to an input device of the one or more input devices, the input device provided on a housing of the device that includes the one or more display generation components. In response to detecting the first input, the device replaces display of at least a portion of the application user interface by displaying a home menu user interface via the one or more display generation components. While displaying the home menu user interface, the device detects a second input to the input device provided on the housing of the device; and in response to detecting the second input to the input device provided on the housing of the device: the device dismisses the home menu user interface.

  • Display system with finger sensing
    Patent number: 11960683
    Abstract: A display system for sensing a finger of a user applied to the display system includes a display panel; a sensor for sensing the finger; a sensing light source configured to emit a first light having a first wavelength W1; and a reflective polarizer disposed between the display panel and the sensor. For a substantially normally incident light, an optical transmittance of the reflective polarizer versus wavelength for a first polarization state has a band edge such that for a first wavelength range extending from a smaller wavelength L1 to a greater wavelength L2 and including W1, where 30 nm?L2?L1?50 nm and L1 is greater than and within about 20 nm of a wavelength L3 corresponding to an optical transmittance of about 50% along the band edge, the optical transmittance has an average of greater than about 75%.

  • Wireless charging mount for handheld electronic devices
    Patent number: 11303143
    Abstract: A wireless charging mount includes a wireless charger, an attachment portion, and a base portion. The wireless charger is coupled to the attachment portion, and the attachment portion is coupled to the base portion to support the wireless charger on the base portion. The base portion can attach with a movable or stationary object for supporting the mount thereon. The attachment portion supports a handheld electronic device on the mount, and the wireless charger selectively provides power to the handheld electronic device.
