Publication number: 20220342519Abstract: A first electronic device with a touch-enabled display establishes a wireless connection with a second electronic device that controls display of a user interface on a second display. The first electronic device displays a first user interface on the touch-enabled display, the first user interface including a first affordance corresponding to first media content. While displaying the first user interface, the first electronic device detects a first user input at a location on the touch-sensitive display that corresponds to the first affordance in the first user interface. In response to detecting the first user input, the first electronic device transmits, to the second electronic device via the wireless connection, instructions enabling display of at least a portion of the first media content on substantially the entire second display controlled by the second electronic device.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2022Publication date: October 27, 2022Inventors: Julian K. Missig, Jeffrey T. Bernstein, Marcelo H. Coelho

Patent number: 10817062Abstract: Electronic devices may use touch pads that have touch sensor arrays, force sensors, and actuators for providing tactile feedback. A touch pad may be mounted in a computer housing. The touch pad may have a rectangular planar touch pad member that has a glass layer covered with ink and contains a capacitive touch sensor array. Force sensors may be mounted under each of the four corners of the rectangular planar touch pad member. The force sensors may be used to measure how much force is applied to the surface of the planar touch pad member by a user. Processed force sensor signals may indicate the presence of button activity such as press and release events. In response to detected button activity or other activity in the device, actuator drive signals may be generated for controlling the actuator. The user may supply settings to adjust signal processing and tactile feedback parameters.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2018Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Traer Bernstein, Avi Cieplinski, Brett W. Degner, Duncan Kerr, Patrick Kessler, Paul Puskarich, Marcelo H. Coelho, Aleksandar Pance

Patent number: 10254924Abstract: An application can generate multiple user interfaces for display across multiple electronic devices. After the electronic devices establish communication, an application running on at least one of the devices can present a first set of information items on a touch-enabled display of one of the electronic devices. The electronic device can receive a user selection of one of the first set of information items. In response to receiving the user selection, the application can generate a second set of information items for display on the other electronic device. The second set of information items can represent an additional level of information related to the selected information item.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2016Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Julian K.
