Patent number: 10315087Abstract: A method is provided to operate a computer to interoperate with a portable media player. The method includes processing signals provided from the portable media player to the computer that are indicative of whether an accessory has been connected to the portable media player, to determine whether the accessory has been connected to the portable media player. Based on a determination that the accessory has been connected to the portable media player, physiologic data of a user that was provided to the portable media player from a wireless physiologic data gathering device, is received from the portable media player, into the computer, via the accessory.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2018Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Christopher R. Wysocki, David Heller, Amandeep Jawa, Sandeep Gupta, Greg Marriott, Max Sprauer, David A. Shayer, John Wesley Archibald, Shannon E. Wells

Patent number: 7996666Abstract: There is provided a method for altering a sequence in which programs and content are loaded upon startup of an electronic device. A user may change the loading sequence by selecting a program or content before the loading sequence has finished. In addition, the altered loading sequence may be saved and utilized when the electronic device is powered on again. There is also provided a tangible, machine-readable medium for performing the described method. Finally, there is provided an electronic device having a memory device for storing a loading program that defines a loading sequence, a processor for loading programs and content based on the loading sequence, and a user interface for delivering user input to the loading program to alter the loading sequence.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2007Date of Patent: August 9, 2011Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: David A. Shayer, Szu-Wen Huang, Jesse W. Boettcher

Patent number: 7836105Abstract: Techniques for converting file-systems used for organizing and storing data on computer readable mediums are disclosed. A first file-system is converted to a second file-system while file(s) stored on the computer readable medium remain(s) virtually undisturbed in the same location. A FAT file-system (e.g., FAT32) is converted to an HFS file-system (e.g., HFS Plus) by generating HFS data structures (Catalog, Allocation File and Extents) for file(s) already stored in the HFS file-system. The number and location of the file(s) can be determined primarily based on the FAT file-system's data structures (FAT and Directory). The conversion process can be stopped before the FAT file-system indicators (partition map and boot sector) are overwritten.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2005Date of Patent: November 16, 2010Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Greg Marriott, David A.
