Patent number: 11921975Abstract: An application launching user interface that includes a plurality of application icons for launching corresponding applications is displayed. A first touch input is detected on a first application icon of the plurality of application icons. The first application icon is for launching a first application that is associated with one or more corresponding quick actions. If the first touch input meets one or more application-launch criteria which require that the first touch input has ended without having met a first input threshold, the first application is launched in response to the first touch input. If the first touch input meets one or more quick-action-display criteria which require that the first touch input meets the first input threshold, one or more quick action objects associated with the first application are concurrently displayed along with the first application icon without launching the first application, in response to the first touch input.Type: GrantFiled: November 24, 2020Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Jonathan R. Dascola, Marcos Alonso Ruiz, Chanaka G. Karunamuni, Stephen O. Lemay, Gregory M. Apodaca, Nicholas V. King, Daniel T. Preston

Publication number: 20230114043Abstract: A computer system concurrently displays a view of a physical environment; and a computer-generated user interface element overlaid on the view of the physical environment. An appearance of the computer-generated user interface element is based on an appearance of the view of the physical environment on which the computer-generated user interface element is overlaid. In response to an appearance of the physical environment changing, the appearance of the computer-generated user interface element is updated at a first time based on a graphical composition of the appearance of one or more portions of the physical environment at different times prior to the first time, including: an appearance of a first portion of the physical environment at a second time that is before the first time; and an appearance of a second portion of the physical environment at a third time that is before the second time.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2022Publication date: April 13, 2023Inventors: Wan Si Wan, Gregory M.

Patent number: 10416800Abstract: An electronic device displays a user interface that includes one or more user interface elements. The device detects a contact on a touch-sensitive surface. The device detects a first increase in a characteristic intensity of the contact. In response to detecting the first increase, the device adjusts a property of a first user interface element from a first value to a second value. After adjusting the property, the device detects a decrease in the characteristic intensity of the contact. In response to detecting the decrease, in accordance with a determination that the first increase met intensity criteria, the device maintains the property above the first value. After detecting the decrease, the device detects a second increase in the characteristic intensity of the contact. In response to detecting the second increase, the device adjusts the property to a third value that is greater than the second value.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2016Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Chanaka G.
