Patent number: 11775590Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure present devices, methods, and computer readable medium for disambiguating clustered location identifiers. A location identifier can be the name of a business or establishment. Digital assets contain a plurality of metadata that can be used to identify the location or establishment at which digital assets were captured. Techniques can use various types contextual information based on a category of the digital asset for disambiguation. Automatically labelling the digital assets assists a user in organizing and sharing the digital assets with friends and family. Users can search for digital assets by the name of the location where the digital assets were captured.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2020Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Benedikt M. Hirmer, Kevin Bessiere, Eric Circlaeys

Patent number: 11625153Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to navigating a collection of media items. In accordance with one embodiment, in response to receiving an input, a device displays a first view of a collection of media items, including concurrently displaying a representation of a first time period and a representation of a second time period. In accordance with a determination that a current time is associated with a first recurring temporal event: the representation of the first time period includes a first representative media item and the representation of the second time period includes a second representative media item. In accordance with a determination that the current time is associated with a second recurring temporal event, the representation of the first time period includes a third representative media item and the representation of the second time period includes a fourth representative media item.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2022Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Graham R.

Publication number: 20230020678Abstract: In some implementations, a computing device may generate a day view, month views, and year view that show cards specific to each view. The cards include images, videos, and/or other assets from a media library that reflect a corresponding time frame of the card on which the assets are displayed. A selected view is presented in a graphical user interface (GUI) for interaction with a user of the media library. Upon selection of an asset displayed to the GUI, the view is switched to show more assets from a time frame similar to the selected asset while maintaining a focus on the selected asset.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 1, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Eric M. Circlaeys, Guillaume Vergnaud, Samantha E. Fierro, Kevin Aujoulet, Benedikt M. Hirmer, Alexandre N. Lopoukhine, Kevin Bessiere, Vignesh Jagadeesh, Rohan Chandra

Publication number: 20220382811Abstract: Techniques for digital asset classification are described. One or more holiday score are assigned to a set of digital media assets. The one or more holiday scores are calculated based on weighted holiday metrics determined based on characteristics of the set of digital assets. A holiday classification is assigned based on the one or more holiday score, and the set of digital media assets are provided for presentation in accordance with the holiday classification.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 12, 2022Publication date: December 1, 2022Inventors: Sabrine Rekik, Alexa Rockwell, Rohan Chandra, Sowmya Gopalan, Emma D.

Patent number: 11243996Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure present devices, methods, and computer readable medium for presenting a user interface that allows a user to quickly and easily filter and search a digital asset collection. The disclosed techniques allow for rapid recall of desired digital assets, linking assets into logical collections, and an overall improved user experience. The zero keyword/contextual keyword feature presents multimedia content icons and searchable keywords to allow a user to search the digital asset collection simply by tapping on one of these keywords. The top auto completion feature auto-completes suggestions in the search field based on various heuristics to ensure the method produces diverse and relevant results. The next keyword suggestion feature predicts a next search term based on learned properties about the digital asset collection.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2018Date of Patent: February 8, 2022Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Killian Huyghe, Lee A. Morgan, Elliot C. Liskin, Guillaume Vergnaud, Eric Circlaeys, Michael S. Smochko, Joy Hsu, Sabrine Rekik, Kevin Aujoulet, Benedikt M. Hirmer, Kevin Bessiere

Patent number: 11086935Abstract: A memory management system which can effectively determine whether, when, and to what extent, to modify a graph database based on changes in a paired relational database storing various data like media assets, such as photos and videos. The media assets are associated with data objects, such as moments, events, and people. The memory management system also includes one or more knowledge graph metadata networks (or more simply “knowledge graphs”). The knowledge graph(s) store information which is related to the data stored by the relational databases. The memory management system detects changes in the data and data objects stored by the relational database(s). The memory management system can translate detected changes into modification instructions for the knowledge graph. The memory management system can also determine that it is unnecessary to modify the knowledge graph due to a detected change.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2018Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Kevin Bessiere, Patrick H.
