Patent number: 9247377Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for setting a reminder triggered by a target device. A requesting device sends a request to a server to set a reminder triggered by a target device. The request includes parameters, such as a location and a condition that define when the reminder is triggered. The server sends instruction to the target device to set the reminder based on the parameters. When the condition such as arrival is met by the target device in relation to the location the target device sends a message to the server that the reminder has been triggered. The target device can set a geo-fence to determine the position of the target device in relation to the location, and the requesting user can dictate the size of the geo-fence. The server sends a notification to the requesting device that the reminder has been triggered.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2012Date of Patent: January 26, 2016Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Raghu Pai, Joshua B. Dickens, Karthik Narayanan, Megan M. Frost, Patrice Olivier Gautier

Publication number: 20150324617Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for remotely initiating lost mode on a computing device. A request that lost mode be initiated can include a message and contact information provided by the requesting user. Once authenticated, a command to initiate lost mode is sent to the lost device. Initiating lost mode includes locking the lost device and suppressing select functionality. The message and contact information are displayed and the lost device is enabled to contact the requesting user using the contact information. The lost device can also collect and transmit location data to the requesting user. The location data can be presented on a map indicating the lost devices location and the time the lost device was at the location.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2015Publication date: November 12, 2015Inventors: Raghu Pai, Karthik Narayanan, Megan M.

Publication number: 20150181379Abstract: A system and method of locating “friends” having mobile devices connected to a network and associated with a user account is disclosed. The method includes sending a request to a mobile device, the mobile device determining its present geographic location and responding to the requestor with this information. This information may be in the form of a coordinate location such as a GPS location or it may be in the form of a name that the mobile device owner assigned to a particular area (e.g., “home”). Having this location information, a user is able to view the location of the friend that is associated with the mobile device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2015Publication date: June 25, 2015Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Raghu Pai, Timothy S. Hurley, Patrice Olivier Gautier, Karthik Narayanan, Murthy Parthasarathi, Maxime Veron

Publication number: 20140364099Abstract: A device locator mode or find my device (FMD) mode can allow a lost, stolen, or misplaced mobile device to be located. The FMD mode can be enabled or disabled on a mobile device. Sometimes thieves or unauthorized parties attempt to disable the FMD mode. To prevent this, the mobile device can transmit a unique device identifier to a remote server. The remote server can link the device identifier to a cloud-based user account associated with the user of the mobile device. Before an FMD mode is disabled on the mobile device, before the content or settings can be erased, and/or before a mobile device is permitted to be activated/reactivated, a user of the mobile device can be challenged for the credentials of the cloud-based user account. If valid credentials are provided, FMD can be disabled, the content or settings can be reset, and/or the device can be activated/reactivated.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2013Publication date: December 11, 2014Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Raghunandan K. Pai, Karthik Narayanan

Publication number: 20140181020Abstract: According to one general aspect, a method may include replicating, to a software-as-a-service application, a plurality of pieces of master data from a physically remote master database. The method may also include converting the plurality of pieces of master data into one or more pieces of local data of the software-as-a-service application. The method may include changing one or more of either the pieces of master data or the pieces of local data. The method may further include synchronizing the changed pieces of either master data or local data between the remote master database and the software-as-a-service application.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2012Publication date: June 26, 2014Inventors: Olga Kreindlina, Oliver Berger, Santhosh N., Karthik Narayanan Mohan, Walter Zimmermann, Torsten Buecheler, Sophie Kraut, Albert Neumueller, Steffen Witt, Dietmar Henkes, Guang Yang, Thomas Vogt, Matthias Becker, Martin Haerterich, Stefan Moeller, Kritesh Vasing, Knut Heusermann, Christian Hohmann, Marcus Echter, Xenia Rieger, Mohit V.
