Patent number: 12647509Abstract: The subject disclosure provides systems and methods for application-specific do not disturb configuration for electronic devices. For example, a system process may store a set of interruption control mode identifiers of user-selected configuration options associated with an application. When the device is operated in an interruption control mode, such as a do not disturb mode, the system process may provide a set of interruption control mode identifiers to the application to facilitate operation of the application according to the user-selected configuration options.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2023Date of Patent: June 2, 2026Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Erik M. Berget, David A. Schaefgen, Evan C. Wineland, Justin S. Titi, Matthew E. Shepherd

Publication number: 20260135927Abstract: A push notification distribution system centralizes the management and delivery of push notifications to applications executing on electronic devices. Registration requests to register applications for push notifications may be aggregated and sent as an aggregated registration request. The delivery priority of push notifications may be managed according to specified preferences. Upon receiving a push notification intended for an electronic device, a delivery priority of the push notification may be changed if an application identifier associated with the push notification is found on a list of application identifiers with designed delivery priorities.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2026Publication date: May 14, 2026Inventors: Huan HE, Jonathon SODOS, Nicholas J. CIRCOSTA, Sean GEIGER, Nelson M. LEDUC, Cisto CYRIAC, Matthew E. SHEPHERD, David A. SCHAEFGEN, Elliot T. GARNER, Jose A. LOZANO HINOJOSA, Mursalin AKON, Robert D. BUTLER, Xudong LIU

Publication number: 20250264980Abstract: A device implementing a system to render widget user interfaces for display of dynamic application content on a home screen includes a processor configured to identify a container associated with a first home screen, the container corresponding to an application. The processor is further configured to retrieve data describing a plurality of user interfaces, associated with respective times, of the application. The processor is further configured to render, based on the data, the plurality of the user interfaces in advance of the respective times. The processor is further configured to determine that the first home screen is currently displayed. The processor is further configured to select a first rendered user interface from the rendered user interfaces, wherein the respective time associated with the first rendered user interface corresponds to a current time. The processor is further configured to display the selected first rendered user interface on the first home screen.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2025Publication date: August 21, 2025Inventors: Neil N. DESAI, Nahir A. KHAN, Andrew Brett CATO, John LOUCH, Patrick Reid METCALFE, Antony J. DZERYN, David A. SCHAEFGEN, Jacob FRAIMOW, Nils Moshe Abraham HAYAT, Jacob Alan XIAO

Patent number: 10902101Abstract: Disclosed herein is a technique that can selectively display secure content on a computing device. The technique can detect both lock and unlock events and issue appropriate control signals that cause an application to display a more secure version of the application when necessary based on a particular UI context file. The UI context file can specify a configuration that includes pre-configured hidden or removed UI elements that do not need to be adjusted at runtime. Moreover, the technique can seamlessly pivot to a different UI context file that specifies a configuration of the application that allows the user to experience the full-capabilities of the application when the computing device is in an unlocked-mode.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2018Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Paul W. Chinn, Jin Bing Lin, Stephen F. Holt, David A. Schaefgen, Nils M. Hayat, Jeffrey Y. Hayashida
