Patent number: 11947724Abstract: An electronic device with a touch-sensitive surface, a display, and one or more tactile output generators displays, on the display, a respective user interface element within a user interface region. The device detects a gesture on the touch-sensitive surface for moving the respective user interface element by a respective amount. In response, in accordance with a determination that moving the respective user interface element by the respective amount would cause the respective user interface element to move beyond a predefined limit, the device generates a respective tactile output via the tactile output generators and moves the respective user interface element by the respective amount and beyond the predefined limit. In response to detecting liftoff of a contact used to perform the gesture, the device at least partially reverses the movement of the respective user interface element, such that the respective user interface element is moved to the predefined limit.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Jeffrey Traer Bernstein, Julian Missig, Avi E.

Patent number: 11947782Abstract: In some embodiments, a multifunction device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface creates a plurality of workspace views. A respective workspace view is configured to contain content assigned by a user to the respective workspace view. The content includes application windows. The device displays a first workspace view in the plurality of workspace views on the display without displaying other workspace views in the plurality of workspace views and detects a first multifinger gesture on the touch-sensitive surface. In response to detecting the first multifinger gesture on the touch-sensitive surface, the device replaces display of the first workspace view with concurrent display of the plurality of workspace views.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Julian Missig, Jonathan Koch, Avi E.

Patent number: 11947751Abstract: An electronic device that is in communication with a display generation component, and sensor(s) to detect location of an input object displays a content selection object within selectable content, wherein the content selection object includes a first edge and a second edge. The device detects an input by the input object, including detecting the input object at a first hover location that corresponds to the first edge of the content selection object. In response to detecting the first portion of the input: in accordance with a determination that the first portion of the input meets first criteria that require the input object meets proximity criteria with respect to the content selection object, the device changes an appearance of the first edge relative to the second edge of the content selection object to indicate that the first edge will be selected for movement when the input object meets second criteria.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2023Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Mark K.

Patent number: 11907446Abstract: An electronic device with a touch-sensitive display displays an electronic calendar and detects a hand-drawn input on the touch-sensitive display. The hand-drawn input extends over a vertical portion, less than all, of an area corresponding to a first day in the calendar. In response to detecting the hand-drawn input, the device displays, over the vertical portion of the first day, one or more graphics that correspond to the hand-drawn input. While displaying the graphics, the device detects an input that corresponds to a request to create an event in the electronic calendar. In response, the device creates, in the first day in the electronic calendar, an event with a start time and an end time, wherein the start time and the end time of the event are in accordance with the first day that the hand drawn input extends over.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2020Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Jeffrey Traer Bernstein, Linda L.
