Publication number: 20130232414Abstract: A graphical user interface made up of icons representing individual files and collectively forming the shape of a “v” is described along with methods of using and creating the graphical user interface. The v-shaped interface is useful to display detailed information about many of the items in a list and facilitates manipulation of list order and selection of the active file in the list. The interface further permits the use of a representative icon associated with the list as a whole. Manipulation of the representative icon can cause modification or replacement of the entire playlist represented by the icon.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 9, 2013Publication date: September 5, 2013Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Michael Neuman, William Martin Bachman

Patent number: 8334888Abstract: A first input signal, which has a first playback sequence, is resequenced based upon a characteristic of a second input signal. The resequencing occurs analyzing the characteristic in the second input signal, and modifying the first playback sequence of the first input signal based upon the analysis of the characteristic to generate a second playback sequence. Finally, a third signal is output using the second playback sequence. The third signal can be a rearranged signal or a signal played at a different rate. Using the method, video ringtones can be generated on a mobile device when a call is received.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2009Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Michael Neuman, Brian K. McKnight

Publication number: 20120294536Abstract: Background frames can be completed from a collection of frames having foreground objects that are partially obscuring the pixels comprising the background. The special offset of a pixel represented across a collection of frames can be determined based on camera movement data. By determining the relative offset of a pixel represented in a first frame from the same pixel in other frames, pixel values representing a background object can be accumulated to derive a completed background frame.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2012Publication date: November 22, 2012Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Michael Neuman, G.

Publication number: 20120050788Abstract: Among other things, methods, systems and computer program products are disclosed for manipulating media. In one aspect, a first set of media item images is displayed in a first region of a display screen. The media item images are moved about a predetermined path within the first region in response to a received input. A second set of media item images is displayed in a second region of the display screen where the second set of media item images are associated with an indicated media item image displayed in the first region. At least one of the media item images in the second set of media item images displayed in the second region is different from the indicated media item image.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2010Publication date: March 1, 2012Applicant: APPLE INC.Inventors: William Martin Bachman, Timothy B.

Publication number: 20080248846Abstract: A system and a method for conducting a wager, such as a lottery game or a pari-mutuel wager, is provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a series of at least four race events is identified. Each bettor is enabled to make a specified prediction pertaining to the outcome of each of the identified race events. For at least one race, the specified prediction includes an identification of the first four, five, six, or seven finishers in the correct order. For other races, the specified prediction may include an identification of the winner or of one of the first two, three, four, or five finishers. Each wager entry includes predictions for all of the identified race events. Winnings are allocated from a wager pool based on the wager entries having completely correct entries or entries that are correct for most of the race events.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2007Publication date: October 9, 2008Applicant: MAGNA ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATIONInventors: Frank Stronach, Michael A.
