  • Patent number: 12265583
    Abstract: A system for determining relevant information based on user interactions may include a processor configured to receive data and associated relevance information from a data source and a set of signals describing a current environment of a user or historical user behavior information in which the data source being local to a computing device. The processor may be further configured to provide, using a machine learning model, a relevance score for each of multiple data items based at least in part on the received relevance information and the set of signals. The processor may be further configured to sort the data items based on a ranking of each relevance score for each data item. The processor may be further configured to provide, as output, the multiple data items based at least in part on the ranking.

  • Patent number: 12236251
    Abstract: A device implementing a system to render user interface timeline views for display of dynamic application content includes a processor configured to retrieve a data structure corresponding to user interfaces of an application associated with respective times, and at least one declaratively defined user interface element. The processor is further configured to determine whether a rendering cost of a plurality of the user interfaces complies with an update budget of the application, where the rendering cost includes interpreting the at least one declaratively defined user interface element for the respective times. When the rendering cost is determined to comply, the processor is further configured to render the plurality of the user interfaces in advance of the respective times associated with the plurality of the user interfaces. The processor is further configured to display at least one of the rendered plurality of the user interfaces based on a current time.

  • Publication number: 20240344839
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a mapping application that provides a variety of UI elements for allowing a user to specify a location (e.g., for viewing or serving as route destinations). In some embodiments, these location-input UI elements appear in succession on a sequence of pages, according to a hierarchy that has the UI elements that require less user interaction appear on earlier pages in the sequence than the UI elements that require more user interaction. In some embodiments, the location-input UI elements that successively appear in the mapping application include (1) selectable predicted-destination notifications, (2) a list of selectable predicted destinations, (3) a selectable voice-based search affordance, and (4) a keyboard.

  • Publication number: 20230418413
    Abstract: An electronic device detects a user input while in a lower energy consumption state. After a latency period, while in a higher energy consumption state, the electronic device delivers to an application a sequence of input events that represent the user input, including, in sequence: a first input event, a second input event and a third input event that represent the user input at first, second and third input times and is delivered at first, second and third delivery times. A time interval between the second input time and the second delivery time is smaller than a time interval between the first input time and the first delivery time, and a time interval between the third input time and the third delivery time is smaller than the time interval between the second input time and the second delivery time.
