Publication number: 20240231499Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device can be configured to automatically tum off notifications when generating a notification would cause a disturbance or be unwanted by a user. The device can be configured with quiet hours during which notifications that would otherwise be generated by the computing device can be suppressed. In some implementations, quiet hours can be configured as a time period with a start time and an end time. In some implementations, quiet hours can be derived from application data. For example, calendar data, alarm clock data, map data, etc. can be used to determine when quiet hours should be enforced. In some implementations, the device can be configured with exceptions to quiet hour notification suppression. In some implementations, the user can identify contacts to which the quiet hours notification suppression should not be applied.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 22, 2024Publication date: July 11, 2024Inventors: Imran A. CHAUDHRI, Gregory NOVICK, Scott FORSTALL, Morgan GRAINGER, George R. DICKER, Tyler HAWKINS

Publication number: 20230409283Abstract: The digital assistant displays a digital assistant object in an object region of a display screen. The digital assistant then obtains at least one information item based on a speech input from a user. Upon determining that the at least one information item can be displayed in its entirety in the display region of the display screen, the digital assistant displays the at least one information item in the display region, where the display region and the object region are not visually distinguishable from one another. Upon determining that the at least one information item cannot be displayed in its entirety in the display region of the video display screen, the digital assistant displays a portion of the at least one information item in the display region, where the display region and the object region are visually distinguishable from one another.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Thomas Robert GRUBER, Christopher Dean BRIGHAM, Daniel S.

Patent number: 11586348Abstract: A portable multifunction device displays a first user interface object and a second user interface object on a touch screen display. Upon detecting a finger-down event at the first user interface object and one or more finger-dragging events on the touch screen display, the device moves the first user interface object on the touch screen display along a path determined by the finger-dragging events until the first user interface object at least in part overlaps the second user interface object. Upon detecting a finger-up event at the second user interface object, the device visually replaces the second user interface object with the first user interface object.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2021Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Andrew Emilio Platzer, Charles J.
