Patent number: 11917030Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: March 26, 2021Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: 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

Patent number: 11848767Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology provide for privacy-preserving electronic publication and subscription. A publisher device may establish a publication channel with a publication server and receive a channel identifier and a channel ownership token for the channel. The publisher device may provide the channel identifier and a key for the publication channel to a subscriber device. The publisher device may publish data encrypted using the key to the publication server, the subscriber device may obtain the encrypted published data from the server using the channel identifier, and may decrypt the published data using the key obtained from the publisher device. The published data may include status information for a user of the publisher device, in some examples.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2022Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Nicholas J. Circosta, Elliot T. Garner, Aniket A. Zamwar, Yevgeni Pekurovsky, Jared A. Crawford, Frederic Jacobs, Justin S Titi, Matthew E. Shepherd, Jose A. Lozano Hinojosa, Sean Geiger, Ahmed M. Bashir

Publication number: 20220255740Abstract: A device implementing a system for device-relationship based communication includes at least one processor configured to establish, by a first device associated with a first user, a secure communication channel with a second device associated with a second user via a direct wireless connection. The at least one processor is configured to transmit, over the secure communication channel, first device-identifying information to the second device, and receive, over the secure communication channel, second device-identifying information from the second device. The at least one processor is configured to establish a particular type of relationship with the second device, store the second device-identifying information in association with an indication of the particular type of relationship established with the second device, and transmit, to the second device and over the secure communication channel, the indication of the particular type of relationship established with the second device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 28, 2022Publication date: August 11, 2022Inventors: Andrew J. DALEY, Nicholas J. CIRCOSTA, Ryan W. BAKER, Elliot T. GARNER

Publication number: 20220247797Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology provide for secure, privacy-preserving access to electronic conferencing. In one or more implementations, an electronic device associated with an account can generate links, such as links for joining an electronic conferencing session. In some use cases, multiple electronic devices can be associated with the same account. Aspects of the subject technology provide for synchronization of links generated by multiple electronic devices associated with the same account.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2021Publication date: August 4, 2022Inventors: Nelson M. LEDUC, Elliot T. GARNER, Justin R. ETZINE
