Publication number: 20240094866Abstract: A computer system displays a first view of a user interface of a first application with a first size at a first position corresponding to a location of at least a portion of a palm that is currently facing a viewpoint corresponding to a view of a three-dimensional environment provided via a display generation component. While displaying the first view, the computer system detects a first input that corresponds to a request to transfer display of the first application from the palm to a first surface that is within a first proximity of the viewpoint. In response to detecting the first input, the computer system displays a second view of the user interface of the first application with a second size and an orientation that corresponds to the first surface at a second position defined by the first surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 29, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Stephen O.

Publication number: 20240020076Abstract: Wearable head-mounted displays, such as virtual reality systems, present immersive experiences and environments to a wearer. However, the head-mounted displays, as well as the immersive environments that they produce, limit the wearer's ability to interact with outside observers. For example, a wearer may not be able to see outside observers, and outside observers may not have any insight to what the wearer is experiencing or where the wearer's attention is directed. Accordingly, a wearable electronic device may include an outward-facing display configured to display information to outside observers, such as images of the wearer's face or images that represent or indicate the state of the wearer and/or the head mounted display.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 25, 2023Publication date: January 18, 2024Inventors: Jonathan Ive, Julian Hoenig, Julian Jaede, Seung Wook Kim, Chris Wilson, William A. Sorrentino, III, Alan C. Dye, Stephen O. Lemay

Patent number: 11875013Abstract: A computer system detects a wrist. In accordance with a determination that first criteria that require an inner side of the wrist facing toward a viewpoint are met, the computer system displays a first user interface object including a plurality of representations of different applications at a first position corresponding to a first location on the wrist. While displaying the first user interface object, the computer system detects that the wrist's position or orientation has changed to satisfying second criteria that requires an outer side of the wrist facing toward the viewpoint. In response, the computer system switches from displaying the first user interface object at the first position to displaying a second user interface object including a plurality of controls for controlling functions at a second position corresponding to a location on a back of a hand attached to the wrist.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2020Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Stephen O. Lemay, Gregg S. Suzuki, Matthew J. Sundstrom, Jonathan Ive, Robert T. Tilton, Jeffrey M. Faulkner, Jonathan R. Dascola, William A. Sorrentino, III, Kristi E. S. Bauerly, Giancarlo Yerkes, Peter D.

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.

Publication number: 20230351869Abstract: A computing device receives an input that corresponds to a first part of a multi-part operation performed by an application executing on the computing device. In response to receiving the input corresponding to the first part of the multi-part operation, the computing device initiates an ongoing haptic output sequence. After initiating the ongoing haptic output sequence, the computing device receives an input that corresponds to a second part of the multi-part operation. In response to receiving the input corresponding to the second part of the multi-part operation, the computing device terminates the ongoing haptic output sequence.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventors: Camille Moussette, Gary I.
