Publication number: 20240403184Abstract: The embodiments set forth techniques for managing activity information associated with user applications. According to some embodiments, the techniques can include a method that is implemented by an activity application executing on a computing device, and includes the steps of (1) receiving, from an activity manager executing on the computing device, an indication that a particular functionality is being implemented by a user application executing on the computing device, (2) querying the activity manager for activity information associated with the particular functionality, (3) compositing the activity information into a user interface that is managed by the activity application, and (4) causing the user interface to be output to a display device that is communicatively coupled to the computing device.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2023Publication date: December 5, 2024Inventors: James B. CARY, Forest A. HILL, Eugene DVORTSOV, Michael J. LAMB, John B. ROWE

Publication number: 20240007956Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for application aware cellular radio activation/deactivation, e.g., in 5G NR systems and beyond. The UE may receive, while operating in a power savings mode in which a cellular modem of the UE is disabled, inputs associated with an application of the UE. The UE may determine, based on the inputs, to activate the cellular modem to support the application of the UE. The inputs may include an indication of an application state or status, an indication of an application category, an indication of a state or status of an AI assistant of the UE, an indication of whether an application is a session application, an indication of network assertions, an indication of proximity information, an indication of a WiFi state or a WiFi status, and/or indications associated with one or more timers.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2022Publication date: January 4, 2024Inventors: Ajoy K, Singh, Forest A. Hill, Ajay Kumar S. Gupta, Prathyusha Pallerlamudi, Sergey Sitnikov, Vibhor Goyal, Thomas F. Pauly, Cezar Mihai Radu, Michael G. Voydanoff, Daniel D. Schucker, Howard Tsai, Giovanni M.

Patent number: 10187508Abstract: Notifications for an accessory device are received at a mobile companion device. The notifications are directed to a notification processing application of the companion device that processes notifications intended for accessory device applications. The notification processing application determines an identifier of the accessory application for which the notification is intended, and provides the identifier to a notification display application at the accessory device, which determines user interface and display properties for the notification. The accessory device requests external (dynamic) user interface and display properties from the companion device, as needed, and upon receipt generates a notification display at the accessory device.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2018Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Paul D. Marcos, Andrew E. Platzer, Forest A. Hill

Patent number: 9946560Abstract: A development device operating system may simulate a first electronic device operating system. A first electronic device application executed by the simulated first electronic device operating system may generate a command for a second electronic device application executed by the simulated first electronic device operating system. A first electronic device framework of the first electronic device application may process the command for the second electronic device application. The processing may transform the command data for the second electronic device application to a form that is usable by a simulated relay module executed by the simulated first electronic device operating system. The simulation relay module may route the command to the second electronic device application. The development device operating system may display data for the second electronic device application on a simulated second electronic device display.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2014Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventor: Forest A.
