Patent number: 10064026Abstract: A unified message delivery between multiple devices is disclosed. Sending messages through a local communications link, such as but not limited to at least one of a Bluetooth connection and a peer-to-peer WiFi connection, can lead to faster transmission times and reduced server load. When the local communications link is unavailable or not suitable, the messages can be sent through a network and a push server. In some examples, messages can be sent through both the local communications link and through the network and the push server. Duplicates of a received message can be avoided by utilizing indicators. In some examples, one or more devices can include queue(s) to ensure ordered delivery of a plurality of messages when a local communications link and network connection become unavailable.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2016Date of Patent: August 28, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Daniel B.

Publication number: 20180103120Abstract: Computer-implemented techniques include an application executing at a client computing device obtaining, from a server computing device, a list of available data packs associated with the application. The client computing device determines a set of data packs stored thereat and, using the list of available data packs, determines that a modified version of a particular data pack is available. In response to a request from the client computing device, the server computing device provides information corresponding to the modified version of the particular data pack. Upon receipt of this information, the client computing device utilizes the modified version of the particular data pack within the application and without restarting the application.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2016Publication date: April 12, 2018Applicant: Google Inc.Inventors: Gobind Johar, Bryan Lin, Masakazu Seno, Scott Atwood

Patent number: 9888054Abstract: Performing a real-time application on a mobile device, involving communication of audio/video packets with a remote device. The mobile device may initially communicate the audio/video packets on a first communication channel with the remote device. During the real-time communication, the mobile device may determine if no packets have been received by the mobile device from the remote device for a first threshold period of time. If no packets have been received by the mobile device from the remote device for the first threshold period of time, the mobile device may establish a second communication channel for transmission of the audio/video packets with the remote device. In response to using the second communication channel, the mobile device may modify a resolution or bit rate of the audio/video packets transmitted to the remote device.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2016Date of Patent: February 6, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Yan Yang, Xiasong Zhou, Hyeonkuk Jeong, Joe S. Abuan, Gobind Johar, Yichao Shen

Patent number: 9544540Abstract: Computing devices may implement dynamic display of video communication data. Video communication data for a video communication may be received at a computing device where another application is currently displaying image data on an electronic display. A display location may be determined for the video communication data according to display attributes that are configured by the other application at runtime. Once determined, the video communication data may then be displayed in the determined location. In some embodiments, the video communication data may be integrated with other data displayed on the electronic display for the other application.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2014Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Xiaosong Zhou, Hsi-Jung Wu, Chris Y.

Patent number: 9232188Abstract: Computing devices may implement dynamic transitions from video messages to video communications. Video communication data for a video message may be received at a recipient device. The video communication data may be displayed as it is received, and recorded for subsequent playback. An indication of a selection to establish a video communication with the sender of the video message may be received, or an indication that display of the video communication is to be ceased may be received. If a video communication is to be established, then a video communication connection with the sender of the video message may be created so that subsequent video communication data may be sent via the established connection.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2014Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Xiaosong Zhou, Hsi-Jung Wu, Chris Y.

Patent number: 9232187Abstract: Computing devices may implement dynamic detection of pause and resume for video communications. Video communication data may be capture at a participant device in a video communication. The video communication data may be evaluated to detect a pause or resume event for the transmission of the video communication data. Various types of video, audio, and other sensor analysis may be used to detect when a pause event or a resume event may be triggered. For triggered pause events, at least some of the video communication data may no longer be transmitted as part of the video communication. For triggered resume events, a pause state may cease and all of the video communication data may be transmitted.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2014Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Xiaosong Zhou, Hsi-Jung Wu, Chris Y.
