Publication number: 20240134506Abstract: Systems and processes are disclosed for operating a digital assistant in a media environment. In an exemplary embodiment, a user can interact with a digital assistant of a media device while content is displayed by the media device. In one approach, a plurality of exemplary natural language requests can be displayed in response to detecting a user input of a first input type. The plurality of exemplary natural language requests can be contextually-related to the displayed content. In another approach, a user request can be received in response to detecting a user input of a second input type. A task that at least partially satisfies the user request can be performed. The performed task can depend on the nature of the user request and the content being displayed by the media device. In particular, the user request can be satisfied while reducing disruption to user consumption of media content.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Lia T. NAPOLITANO, Grace H. HWANG, Henrique D. PENHA, Jeremiah D. SHAW, Jorge S. FINO

Patent number: 11960707Abstract: An electronic device provides, to a display, data to present a user interface that includes a plurality of user interface objects, and a current focus on a first user interface object. While the display is presenting the user interface, the electronic device receives an input that corresponds to a movement of a contact across on a touch-sensitive surface. The electronic device, in response to receiving the input and in accordance with a determination that a first axis is a dominant axis, moves the current focus along the first axis by a first amount and along the second axis by a second amount. The amount of movement of the current focus along the second axis is reduced to a first non-zero amount by a scaling factor that is based on one or more inputs received prior to receiving the input.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2023Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Marcos Alonso Ruiz, Nicole M.

Publication number: 20240045572Abstract: An electronic device provides, to a display, while in a screensaver mode, data to present a first media, that includes a first visual motion effect. In response to receiving a user input on a remote user input device, a type of the user input on the remote user input device is determined. If the user input is of a first type, the device provides, to the display, data to present the first media, that includes the first visual motion effect, with corresponding descriptive text. If the user input is of a second type, the device exits the screensaver mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: Henrique D. PENHA, Graham R. CLARKE, Jeffrey L. ROBBIN, William M. BACHMAN, Benjamin W. KEIGHRAN, Jennifer L.C. FOLSE, Jonathan LOCHHEAD, Joe R. HOWARD, Joshua K. MCGLINN, Elbert D. CHEN, Brian A. SCHMITT

Patent number: 11835985Abstract: An electronic device having a camera, while displaying a live preview for the camera, detects activation of a shutter button at a first time. In response, the electronic device acquires, by the camera, a representative image that represents a first sequence of images, and a plurality of images after acquiring the representative image, and also displays an indication in the live preview that the camera is capturing images for the first sequence of images. The electronic device groups images acquired by the camera in temporal proximity to the activation of the shutter button at the first time into the first sequence of images, such that the first sequence of images includes a plurality of images acquired by the camera prior to detecting activation of the shutter button at the first time, the representative image, and the plurality of images acquired by the camera after acquiring the representative image.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2022Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Henrique D.

Patent number: 11262890Abstract: An electronic device provides, to a display, data to present a user interface that includes a plurality of user interface objects, and a current focus on a first user interface object of the plurality of user interface objects. While the display is presenting the user interface, the electronic device receives from the user input device an input that corresponds to a gesture detected on the touch-sensitive surface of the user input device. The gesture includes a movement of a contact across the touch-sensitive surface followed by a lift-off of the contact from the touch-sensitive surface. The electronic device, in accordance with a determination that the gesture satisfies movement criteria, provides, to the display, data to move the current focus in the user interface from the first user interface object to a second user interface object of the plurality of user interface objects.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2021Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Marcos Alonso Ruiz, Nicole M.

Patent number: 11240424Abstract: An electronic device, while in a first media acquisition mode, captures media and performs scene recognition. If the scene recognition meets first criteria, the media is displayed as a sequence of images acquired by the camera in temporal proximity to a single activation of a shutter button of the device at the first time. The sequence of images includes a plurality of images acquired by the camera prior to detecting activation of the shutter button at the first time, a representative image that represents the sequence of images and was acquired by the camera after one or more other images in the sequence of images, and a plurality of images acquired by the camera after acquiring the representative image. If the scene recognition does not meet the first criteria, the media is displayed as a single image in temporal proximity to the activation of the shutter button.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2020Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Henrique D.

Patent number: 10963130Abstract: An electronic device provides, to a display, data to present a user interface that includes a first group of user interface objects and a second group of user interface objects. A current focus is on a first user interface object of the first group of user interface objects. The device receives an input that corresponds to a request to move the current focus to a user interface object in the second group of user interface objects; determines a projection of the first user interface object based on a direction of the input; identifies one or more user interface objects that overlap with the projection of the first user interface object in the direction on the display that corresponds to the direction of the input; and moves the current focus to a second user interface object of the one or more identified user input objects.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2019Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Marcos Alonso Ruiz, Nicole M.
