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: 10491708Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for notifying context clients of changes to the current context of a computing device. In some implementations, a context client can register to be called back when the context daemon detects specified context. For example, the context client can specify a context in which the context client is interested. When the context daemon detects that the current context of the computing device corresponds to the registered context, the context daemon can notify the context client that the current context matches the context in which the context client is interested. Thus, context clients do not require the programming necessary to independently obtain context updates and detect changes in context that are relevant or of interest to the context client.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2016Date of Patent: November 26, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Michael R. Siracusa, Joao Pedro Forjaz de Lacerda, Kit-Man Wan, Gaurav Kapoor, Umesh S. Vaishampayan

Patent number: 9942355Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for monitoring the current context of a computing device. In some implementations, a context daemon can collect context information about the computing device. The context information can include current device hardware state information. The context information can include current software state information. The context can be derived or implied from a combination of hardware state information, software state information, or any other type of state information. For example, the derived context can be a user state (e.g., a user activity, sleeping, running, etc.) derived from or implied by hardware or software state information.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2016Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Michael R.
