Publication number: 20230034825Abstract: In some embodiments, a user enters a search term (or a portion thereof) in a search field associated with one or more resource types that may be searched. The user may be presented with a pop-up menu containing a list of likely matches. The user selects the desired preference control from the pop-up menu, and the corresponding preference pane, or other container, containing the selected data item, control, or other resource is displayed. In one aspect, as the user enters the search term (or portion thereof), certain icons are highlighted. Specifically, those icons that represent containers containing matching data items (such as preference panes having controls that match the search term) are highlighted. Different types of highlighting can be used depending on the degree of certainty as to which container is likely to contain the correct match.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2022Publication date: February 2, 2023Inventors: Maxym I. Runov, Bas Ording, Steve Ko, Gregory N. Christie, Kevin Tiene

Patent number: 10331311Abstract: Information items in a file system are arranged into groups that are created according to a grouping component. A non-hierarchical view displays visual representations (e.g., icons, thumbnail images) of the information items arranged in visually delineated groups according to an arrange type that can be specified for each group. Various view formats are available including icon, list and column view formats. In each view format, a condensed mode can be selected for one or more groups, resulting in multiple visual representations of items being displayed in a fixed amount of screen space in the non-hierarchical view. In icon view, each condensed group includes a single row of visual representations that can be navigated separately from other groups in the non-hierarchical view.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2015Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: David Hart, Laurent Baumann, Patrick Coffman, Aram David Kudurshian, Kevin Tiene

Patent number: 9715394Abstract: Methods and a computer program product for providing a user interface including earlier versions of data. In one implementation, a method is provided. The method includes receiving, while a current view is displayed in a user interface, a first user input requesting that a backup interface be displayed. In response to the first user input, the transition from displaying the current view in the user interface to displaying the backup interface is animated. The backup interface is displayed including a display area for presenting at least a first visual representation of an earlier version of the current view, where the earlier version includes a first element. While the backup interface is displayed, a second user input is received requesting that the current view be modified according to the earlier version. In response to the second user input, the current view is modified according to the earlier version.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2012Date of Patent: July 25, 2017Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Pavel Cisler, Mike Matas, Marcel M W A van Os, Gregory N.
