Patent number: 11556915Abstract: This application relates to systems, methods, and apparatus for using a computing device to perform payment transactions while the computing device is operating in a low power wallet mode during a low battery state of the computing device. During a low power wallet mode, various subsystems are prevented from receiving current from a battery of the computing device, while a near field communication (NFC) system of the computing device is provided with an operating current for detecting target systems. A target system and the NFC system can communicate during the low power wallet mode of the computing device, thereby allowing a user of the computing device to conduct payment transactions when the computing device is in a low power wallet mode. Such payment transactions can be useful if the user is ever stranded without enough power to fully operate the computing device and needs to pay for transportation.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2018Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Cyril de la Cropte de Chanterac, Joseph Hakim, Leland W. Lew, Hue Duc Tran

Patent number: 10554786Abstract: In some implementations, a mobile device can be configured to monitor environmental, system and user events associated with the mobile device and/or a peer device. The occurrence of one or more events can trigger adjustments to system settings. The mobile device can be configured to keep frequently invoked applications up to date based on a forecast of predicted invocations by the user. In some implementations, the mobile device can receive push notifications associated with applications that indicate that new content is available for the applications to download. The mobile device can launch the applications associated with the push notifications in the background and download the new content. In some implementations, before running an application or communicating with a peer device, the mobile device can be configured to check energy and data budgets and environmental conditions of the mobile device and/or a peer device to ensure a high quality user experience.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2018Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jonathan J. Andrews, Daniel Ben Pollack, Hue Duc Tran, Joao Pedro Forjaz de Lacerda

Patent number: 10506522Abstract: In some implementations, a mobile device can analyze motion sensor data and proximity sensor data during a voice call to determine whether the mobile device is on a stationary object or worn on a user's body (e.g., in the lap or pocket of a user of the mobile device). The mobile device can adjust the transmit power level of the telephony transceiver during the voice call based on the determination.Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 2017Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Ben-Heng Juang, Hue Duc Tran, Hung A. Pham, Adam S. Howell, Hengliang Zhang, Gunes Dervisoglu
