Patent number: 10002121Abstract: In some implementations, documents can be presented on a display of a computing device based on a context of the computing device. The context can include a current time and/or current location associated with the computing device. The documents can be presented based on a time and/or location associated with the documents. Documents can be downloaded and shared between devices. Documents can be dynamically updated based on document vendor provided information and/or other network based resources. In some implementations, the various graphical interfaces described herein provide access to a variety of document types in an organized and efficient manner.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2017Date of Patent: June 19, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Chanaka G.

Publication number: 20180150212Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to displaying content on a reduced-size user interface. An electronic device with one or more processors, memory, and a display, receives content associated with a designated area of the display, where the content is associated with a plurality of available display formats stored in the memory. The device determines a size of the designated area and determines a first display format for the content from the plurality of available display formats based on at least the content and the size of the designated area. The device displays a representation of the content according to the first display format.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2018Publication date: May 31, 2018Inventors: Kevin Will CHEN, Eliza BLOCK, Lawrence Y. YANG, Christopher WILSON, Eric Lance WILSON, Paul W. SALZMAN, David SCHIMON

Publication number: 20170060359Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for displaying notifications received from multiple applications. In some embodiments, an electronic device can monitor notifications that are received from the multiple applications. Responsive to receiving the notifications, the electronic device can control the manner in which the notifications are displayed while the device is operating in a locked or an unlocked state. In some embodiments, the electronic device can allow users to customize how notifications are to be displayed while the device is in the locked and/or unlocked states.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2016Publication date: March 2, 2017Inventors: Imran CHAUDHRI, Eliza BLOCK

Publication number: 20160029165Abstract: Location-based ticket books are described. A mobile device can be programmed to present a virtual ticket to a service provider based on a location of the mobile device. The mobile device can receive a virtual ticket for accessing a service from a service provider. The virtual ticket can be associated with a signal source. The signal source can be pre-programmed to broadcast a beacon signal that includes an identifier identifying the signal source. The signal source can be placed at a venue where the service is available. The mobile device, upon arriving at the venue, can detect the beacon signal from the signal source. In response, the mobile device can activate a ticket manager. The ticket manager can automatically select, from a ticket book, the virtual ticket associated with the signal source. The mobile device can present content of the selected virtual ticket at the venue where the service is available.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2015Publication date: January 28, 2016Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Eliza Block, George R.
