Publication number: 20250024538Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device can be configured for users (e.g., user devices) that are detected nearby the computing device. For example, the computing device may be a communal device configured for a single user but generally used by multiple users. The communal device can discover when a known (e.g., authorized, trusted, etc.) user device is near the communal device and obtain personalization data from the nearby user device. The communal device can configure the communal device based on the personalization data to personalize an activity hosted by the communal device for the user of the nearby user device. To protect the user's personalization data, the communal device can delete the user's personalization data when the activity hosted by the communal device is terminated.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 2, 2024Publication date: January 16, 2025Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jeremy Jie You Foo, Niharika M. Bedekar, Joel J. Angelone, David S. Clark, Parry Panesar

Publication number: 20240311513Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device can restrict the use of another computing device in certain contexts. For example, a parent may wish to use the parent's computing device to restrict her children's use of the children's computing devices while the children are in school while the children should be participating in some other activity. For example, the parent's controller device may be enabled to remotely configure and control the usage of the satellite device(s) without needing to physically access the satellite device. The parent may implement limitations, permissions, or different policies that may govern, for example, the ability of the satellite device to communicate with other devices, execute various application functionalities, run any particular software, and manage its own settings.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2024Publication date: September 19, 2024Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Paul W. Salzman, Christopher G. Skogen, David S. Clark, Tyler D. Hawkins

Patent number: 11895114Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for a satellite device that can be associated with a user account of a minor aged (e.g., child or adolescent) user that does not have a smartphone that can be used as a companion device to the satellite device. The satellite device can be configured to be used as a primary device, without reliance upon a paired smartphone. Certain information can be synchronized with the satellite device via the association with the family account. During initial configuration, a set of cryptographic keys can be generated to associate the account of the satellite device with the set of accounts in the family. The satellite device can then access calendars, media, or other data that is shared with user accounts within a family of user accounts.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2022Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Dmitry V. Belov, Justin K. Bennett, David S. Clark, Kalyan C. Gopavarapu, David G. Knipp, Robert F. Lee, Sudhakar N. Mambakkam, Nagarjuna Thottempudi, Tyler D. Hawkins, Reed E. Olsen, Paul W. Salzman
