Patent number: 10848613Abstract: Apparatuses and methods that generate and send interactive elements to a plurality of wearable electronic devices are discussed. One or more mobile applications and one or more remote backend servers may cooperate to send information in the interactive elements to the instances of the time synchronous application resident in their wearable electronic device in order to bring different types of content such as timely and relevant data, events, and notifications to a user of that wearable electronic device without the user's intervention to actively retrieve the different types of content. The interactive elements may be generated and sent from any of i) a public application programming interface hosted on a server, ii) one or more mobile applications resident on one or more mobile computing devices, and iii) one or more remote backend servers. In addition, these sources may merely send content and commands for the interactive elements to the public application programming interface.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2017Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: Fitbit, Inc.Inventors: François Olivier Baldassari, Liron Mordechai Damir, Tyler James Hoffman, Megan Elisabeth Knight, Henry Levak, Itai Vonshak

Patent number: 10708218Abstract: Calls and messages are threaded, e.g., a method can include: receiving messaging content; and displaying the messaging content in a single thread, wherein the messaging content is threaded and a thread of the messaging content comprises at least one text message and at least one call. The method can further include threading the messaging content, wherein the threading comprises ordering the messaging content based, at least, on a time at which received ones of the messaging content are received at a communication device. For instance, the messaging content can include one or more of voice information, MMS or SMS text messages, voicemail information, system messages, email messages, instant messages, pictorial information, video information or audio information, data traffic information, user-opted notifications, traffic reports, news alerts, weather information, stock reports, social networking chats, social networking posts or social networking status updates.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2019Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: AT&T MOBILITY II LLCInventors: Cristy Swink, Jason Sikes, David Merkoski, Benjamin Fineman, Jonathan Solis Snydal, Megan Elisabeth Knight

Patent number: 10541964Abstract: A method can include executing at least two applications, wherein at least one of the two applications is for providing social media information. The acts can also include receiving a signal in response to a detected input gesture indicative of a selection of an entity. The selection of the entity can be performed via another one of the two applications. The acts can also include integrating the two applications such that social media information is generated about the entity. The integration can be in response to receiving the signal, and the social media information can include information from one or more social networking websites. The acts can also include displaying the social media information about the entity.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 2016Date of Patent: January 21, 2020Assignee: AT&T MOBILITY II LLCInventors: Cristy Swink, Jason Sikes, Benjamin Fineman, Jonathan Solis Snydal, Matthew James Schoenholz, Craig Alan Williams, David Merkoski, Claudia Knop, Alex Tam, Alison Rae Maiorano, Christopher Marshall Turitzin, Dhana Dhanasarnsombat, Eric Brady Burns, Hannah Regier, Jennifer Siu Bettendorff, Karin Maire Curkowicz, Katrin Asen, Harry Lawson Kight, Flora Elysia Howell, Megan Elisabeth Knight, Paul McDougall, Philip Foeckler, Ratna Desai, Sara Louise Todd, Thomas L Rohrer

Publication number: 20160248637Abstract: Apparatuses and methods that relate selectable actions embedded in two or more interactive elements from a plurality of wearable computing devices are discussed. The selected actions taken by the user of the first wearable computing device in the first interactive element are evaluated against the data including the actions taken by the user of the second wearable computing device in the second interactive element. A resultant interactive element is generated based on the evaluation of the data of the first interactive element against the data of the second interactive element. The resultant interactive element relates the selectable actions indicated by the first and second interactive elements from the first and second wearable computing devices. The resultant interactive element is then broadcast to at least the respective input communication circuits of the first and second wearable computing devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2016Publication date: August 25, 2016Inventors: François Olivier Baldassari, Heiko Behrens, Liron Mordechai Damir, Tyler James Hoffman, Megan Elisabeth Knight, Henry Levak, Itai Vonshak
