Patent number: 10120659Abstract: Described is a technique for creating and displaying adaptive user interfaces. The user interface may be provided to an application development environment that provides the ability to allow authoring of a user interface that adapts to a screen size with any first abstracted size class value and any second abstracted size class value. Accordingly, an application that includes the user interface may determine a screen size of a device and adapt the user interface according to the screen size including the first abstracted size clasp value and the second abstracted size class value. Thus, a developer may efficiently develop a user interface based on various abstracted size class values that may be adapted to a particular device.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2014Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Kevin Cathey, Maxwell Oliver Drukman, Antonio Ricciardi, Jonathan Joseph Hess
