Patent number: 11947791Abstract: A method includes while displaying a drawing user interface, detecting an object insertion input and, in response, inserting a respective object in the drawing user interface. The method includes, while displaying the respective object, detecting a pixel erase input, and, in response, ceasing to display a first portion of the respective object without ceasing to display second and third portions of the respective object. The method includes detecting an object erase input directed to a portion of the respective object, and, in response, when the object erase input is directed to the second portion and the second portion is not connected to the third portion, ceasing to display the second portion, but not the third portion; and when the object erase input is directed to the third portion and the third portion is not connected to the second portion, ceasing to display the third portion, but not the second portion.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2020Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Christopher D. Soli, Bradley W. Griffin, Daniel T. Preston, Tiffany S. Jon

Publication number: 20240103632Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to providing gesture-based control of electronic devices. Providing gesture-based control may include determining, with a machine learning system that includes multiple machine learning models, a prediction of one or more gestures and their corresponding probabilities of being performed. A likelihood of the user's intent to actually perform that gesture may then be generated, based on the prediction and a gesture detection factor. The likelihood may be dynamically updated over time, and a visual, auditory, and/or haptic indicator of the likelihood may be provided as user feedback. The visual, auditory, and/or haptic indicator may be helpful to guide the user to the correct gesture if the gesture is intended, or to stop performing an action similar to the gesture if the gesture is not intended.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2023Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Matthias R. HOHMANN, Anna SEDLACKOVA, Bradley W. GRIFFIN, Christopher M. SANDINO, Darius A. SATONGAR, Erdrin AZEMI, Kaan E. DOGRUSOZ, Paul G. PUSKARICH, Gergo PALKOVICS

Patent number: 11941243Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to handwriting on touch sensitive surfaces. In some examples, text suggestions strokes entered on a touch sensitive surface are viewed and selected in response to a rotatable input mechanism. In some examples, text determined from a set of strokes on the touch sensitive surface is revised based on a subsequently entered stroke on the touch sensitive surface. In some examples, a determination is made whether to include a stroke in a set of strokes based a time between the stroke and the previous stroke. In some examples, determining text based on a set of stroke is interrupted to determined revised text based on the set of strokes and a second stroke.Type: GrantFiled: May 1, 2023Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Ryan S. Dixon, Imran Chaudhri, Bradley W. Griffin, Tiffany S. Jon

Publication number: 20230418462Abstract: A method includes displaying, via a display device, first content with respect to which a first plurality of editing operations have been performed. The method further includes while displaying the first content, detecting, on the touch-sensitive surface, a first multi-finger gesture. The method further includes in response to detecting the first multi-finger gesture: in accordance with a determination that the first multi-finger gesture includes more than a first predetermined amount of movement in a first direction, undoing one of the first plurality of editing operations; and in accordance with a determination that the first multi-finger gesture includes more than a first predetermined amount of movement in a second direction that is different from the first direction, redoing one of the first plurality of editing operations.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: Bradley W. Griffin, Morgan H. Winer, Wayne Carl Westerman, Christopher D. Soli, Meredith Noelani Burkle, Sara E. Andrews, Toby Charles Wood Paterson, Stephen O. Lemay, Patrick Lee Coffman, Tiffany S.
