Patent number: 10412678Abstract: A method and apparatus to manage notification service connections. In one embodiment of the invention, a mobile device schedules a notification service connection message transmission interval for each of a plurality of notification service connections. The mobile device also associates a notification service connection message transmission window with each notification service connection message transmission interval. The mobile device synchronizes transmission of notification service connection messages based on overlapping notification service connection message transmission windows.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2016Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: APPLE, INC.Inventors: Justin Santamaria, Christopher Marcellino

Patent number: 9985917Abstract: Methods and apparatuses that generate a subtopic identifier identifying a client application within a client device are described. The client application may be associated with a server application hosted in one or more application servers. Notification services may be registered with the application servers from the client application to forward identifiers associated with the client application to the server application to enable the server application to push notification messages to the client device selectively for the client application. When receiving a notification message from the application server, the notification message may be examined to forward the notification message directly to the client application without invoking other applications in the client device if the notification message carries a subtopic identifier of the client application.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2016Date of Patent: May 29, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventor: Christopher Marcellino

Patent number: 9135059Abstract: Services for a personal electronic device are provided through which a form of background processing or multitasking is supported. The disclosed services permit user applications to take advantage of background processing without significant negative consequences to a user's experience of the foreground process or the personal electronic device's power resources. To effect the disclosed multitasking, one or more of a number of operational restrictions may be enforced. By way of example, thread priority levels may be overlapped between the foreground and background states. In addition, system resource availability may be restricted based on whether a process is receiving user input. In some instances, an application may be suspended rather than being placed into the background state. Implementation of the disclosed services may be substantially transparent to the executing user applications and, in some cases, may be performed without the user application's explicit cooperation.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2010Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Lucia Ballard, David W. Goodwin, Joseph Sokol, Jr., Matthew G. Watson, Neil G. Crane, Cahya Masputra, Charles Srisuwananukorn, Christopher Marcellino, Scott Forstall, Gregory Novick

Patent number: 8676238Abstract: Mobile devices each maintain a whitelist of application identifiers corresponding to applications that the user(s) of that mobile device wants to receive notification messages for and a blacklist of application identifiers corresponding to applications that the user(s) of the mobile device does not want to receive notification messages for. Each mobile device transmits its representations of the whitelist and blacklist to a certain one of a plurality of couriers that controls transmission of notification messages for that mobile device. Each notification message includes a mobile device identifier and an application identifier. Each courier processes a given notification message for a mobile device (e.g., deliver to that mobile device, drop, report as uninstalled to the sender) based on the application identifier included in the mobile device and the representations of the whitelist and blacklist for that mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2013Date of Patent: March 18, 2014Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Christopher Marcellino, Justin Edward Santamaria

Patent number: 8291440Abstract: A window manager process hosts proxy window objects created by an application in a window manager display structure. A process in a device creates a local proxy view object within a window manager display structure for the window manager process. The process registers an identifier for a remote proxy window object which corresponds to an application display structure. The application controls processing of data used by the application. The process assigns the identifier for the remote proxy window object to the local proxy view object in the window manager display structure to create a composite display structure and renders the composite display structure to display an image on a display device. The image corresponds to the objects of the application display structure represented by the remote proxy window object. The window manager process controls rendering of the composite display structure.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2009Date of Patent: October 16, 2012Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Scott Herz, John Harper, Christopher Marcellino

The disclosed services permit user applications to take advantage of background processing without significant negative consequences to a user's experience of the foreground process or the personal electronic device's power resources. To effect the disclosed multitasking, one or more of a number of operational restrictions may be enforced. A consequence of such restrictions may be that a process will not be able to do in the background state, what it may be able to do if it were in the foreground state. By way of example, network-based applications may be suspended until a message is received for them. At that time, the suspended application may be moved into the background state where it is permitted to respond to the message. In a similar fashion, audio application may be permitted to execute in background until suspended by user action.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2010Publication date: October 13, 2011Applicant: APPLE INC.Inventors: Gordon J.
