Publication number: 20240089523Abstract: The disclosed computer-implemented methods and systems provide solutions for mitigating misdetection of display devices in connection with a subscription service. In some examples, the described methods and systems receive a content request from a display device, where the content request is correlated with a particular subscription service account. In some examples, the systems and methods further determine that the display device is not associated with the particular subscription service account. To verify the display device, the systems and methods utilize display timings and scan timings associated with a verification token to prove that the display device is validly located and can therefore be trusted in connection with the subscription service account. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Ethan Venitz, Eric James Crabb, Geoffrey Mason House, AJ Venturella, Anthony DeVere Edwards, Christopher Bradley Kirk, Praveen Ramachandra

Patent number: 11785465Abstract: A host device can establish a verified session with a wearable device. The host device can determine whether the verified session is in progress. In accordance with a determination that the verified session is in progress, the host device can provide a user interface to request confirmation that the identifier is to be provided to the wearable device. The host device can receive an input at the user interface and, in accordance with a determination that the input indicates a confirmation that the identifier is to be provided to the wearable device, the host can identify a user identifier to provide to the wearable device, and transmit the user identifier to the wearable device.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2021Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jesse W. Boettcher, Craig M. Federighi, Bryan J. James, James Eric Mason

Publication number: 20220121326Abstract: Methods and systems for simulating light interaction and physical materials in a graphical user interface (GUI) of a resource-constrained device are provided. Simulating physical materials, such as glass and metal, in a GUI can allow a user to feel more natural in interacting with the GUI. The user experience can be further enhanced if the simulated physical materials in the GUI can interact with the device's environment in a manner similar to how the actual physical materials would interact. However, continually polling various sensors can be resource-intensive, especially for resource-constrained mobile devices. Accordingly, a mobile device can intelligently determine whether to begin a reduced detail mode, and then render user interface objects in the reduced detail mode to conserve resources.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2021Publication date: April 21, 2022Inventors: Jesse William BOETTCHER, Michael I. INGRASSIA, JR., James Eric MASON, Anton M. DAVYDOV, David J. REMPEL, Imran CHAUDHRI

Patent number: 10567965Abstract: A wearable device can establish a verified session with a host device. For example, if a user wearing the wearable device unlocks the host device (e.g., by entering a credential), the devices can create a verified session, which can persist across lock and unlock events at the host device. For the duration of the verified session, a host device can request session confirmation from the wearable device at any time to confirm that the verified session is still in progress. While the session is in progress, the host can make features available such as bypassing re-entry of a credential during unlock operations.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2018Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jesse W.
