Patent number: 11941688Abstract: A computing device provides methods and workflow for setting up a shared family account on a content storage system, including the creation of accounts for child family members. A computing device supports the creation of a family account using an account on the content storage system associated with an adult family member acting as a family organizer. The family organizer can designate a specific account as a purchase account for allowing other family member to purchase content from content servers associated with the content storage system. The family organizer can invite other adult family members to join the shared family account.

Patent number: 10963820Abstract: In some implementations, a navigation application can integrate third party services into the navigation application in an easy to use and convenient manner. For example, the navigation application can receive user input indicating that the user is interested obtaining transportation from a ride hailing service. In response to receiving the indication, the navigation application can invoke an application extension for a third party ride hailing application. The navigation application and ride hailing application can then communicate to provide the ride hailing service through the navigation application.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2018Date of Patent: March 30, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Ryan Shelby, Eric Albert, David Hodge, Curtis Galloway, Tara Teich, Sam Iglesias, Maria D.

Patent number: 10929782Abstract: In some implementations, a navigation application can integrate third party services into the navigation application in an easy to use and convenient manner. For example, the navigation application can receive user input indicating that the user is interested reserving a table from a table reservation service. In response to receiving the indication, the navigation application can invoke an application extension for a third party table reservation application. The navigation application and table reservation application can then communicate to provide the table reservation service through the navigation application.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2016Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Ryan Shelby, Eric Albert, David Hodge, Curtis Galloway, Tara Teich, Sam Iglesias, Maria D.

Publication number: 20200067931Abstract: One or more user accounts can be linked together to form a group of linked user accounts. A shared calendar can be assigned to a group of linked user accounts. A shared calendar can be a unique calendar assigned to the group of linked user accounts that can be accessed by each member of the group of linked user accounts to schedule appointments, reminders, etc. A shared task list can be assigned to a group of linked user accounts and accessed by each member of the group of linked user accounts. Members of the group of linked user accounts can add tasks to the shared task list that can then be viewed by the other members of the group of linked user accounts. This can allow a family to add tasks to the shared task list that can then be completed by other members of the family.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2019Publication date: February 27, 2020Inventors: Christopher D.

Patent number: 10255449Abstract: To perform a restricted action, such as access a restricted content item, a subordinate user account can transmit a permission request to an authorizing user account. The permission request can request authorization from the authorizing user account to perform the restricted action. The permission request can be transmitted to one or more client devices of the authorizing user account, and enable to the authorizing user account to remotely select to approve or deny the permission request, thereby either granting or denying the subordinate user account from performing the restricted action. In addition to approving or denying a permission request, an authorizing user account can also be enabled to ignore a permission request, thereby allowing the authorizing user account to respond to the permission request at a later time. Further, in some embodiments, an authorizing user account can select to deny all further permission requests to perform the restricted action.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2014Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Christopher D. Espinosa, Christopher John Sanders, David L. Neumann, Gregory Quirk, James C. Wilson, Maria D. Ioveva, Michael Chu

Publication number: 20150350220Abstract: One or more user accounts can be linked together to form a group of linked user accounts. A designated primary user account in the group of linked user accounts can be enabled to modify control settings for the subordinate user accounts in the group of linked user account. The control settings can dictate restrictions on the subordinate user accounts. For example, the control settings can define restrictions on the type of content that can be accessed, purchases that can be made, storage space allocated to the subordinate user account, etc. In some embodiments, the primary user account can be enabled to establish a set of control settings for a client device associated with the group of linked user accounts. The set of control settings can dictate restriction on content accessed by the client device and usage of the client device such as restrictions on phone calls, messages, data usage, etc.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2015Publication date: December 3, 2015Inventors: Christopher D.
