Publication number: 20140327629Abstract: A computer-implemented method for use in conjunction with a computing device with a touch screen display comprises: detecting one or more finger contacts with the touch screen display, applying one or more heuristics to the one or more finger contacts to determine a command for the device, and processing the command. The one or more heuristics comprise: a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts correspond to a one-dimensional vertical screen scrolling command, a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts correspond to a two-dimensional screen translation command, and a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts correspond to a command to transition from displaying a respective item in a set of items to displaying a next item in the set of items.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2013Publication date: November 6, 2014Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Steven P. Jobs, Scott Forstall, Greg Christie, Stephen O. Lemay, Scott Herz, Marcel van Os, Bas Ording, Gregory Novick, Wayne C. Westerman, Imran Chaudhri, Patrick Lee Coffman, Kenneth Kocienda, Nitin K.

Publication number: 20140222903Abstract: A method for dynamic network transport selection is described. An indication from a user of a client device is received, to fetch over a data network media of a predefined type. One of a number of network transport physical layers in the client device is automatically assigned, based on a number of stored, ranked media types and network transport physical layer types, for use in fetching the media over the data network. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2014Publication date: August 7, 2014Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventor: Jeremy Wyld

Publication number: 20130311453Abstract: In a method of searching for data objects in a computer system, a content-based search of a first database generates a first domain-specific search result stream and a metadata-based search of a second database generates a second domain-specific search result stream. The first and second domain-specific search result streams are aggregated into a primary search result stream, and search results from the primary search result stream are displayed.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2013Publication date: November 21, 2013Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jonah Petri, Jeremy Wyld

Patent number: 8583149Abstract: A client computing device registers an email address as an identifier for online communication sessions. An email validation request message is received from the client computing device to validate an email address that includes the email address and an online communication session profile identifier that identifies an online communication session profile of a user of the client computing device. Responsive to determining that the email address has been validated, an email validated success message is sent to the client computing device. An activated email address request message is received from the client computing device that includes the email address and the online communication session profile identifier. The email address is then activated as an identifier associated with the online communication session profile to be used for online communication sessions.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2011Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Andrew H. Vyrros, Justin Wood, Patrick Gates, Justin Santamaria, Erik Strahm, Lon Hardeman, Selva Subramaniam, Rakesh Singh, Sudipt Sinha, Josh Converse, Jeremy Wyld, Dan Keen
