Publication number: 20200142548Abstract: An electronic device displays a user interface object that corresponds to a first application. While displaying the user interface object, the device detects, via an input element, an input directed to the user interface object. In response: if the input meets an input threshold and includes less than a threshold amount of movement, the device generates a non-visual output corresponding to the input before detecting an end of the input, and after detecting an end of the input, displays a system user interface that includes information about the first application without displaying the first application; and, if the input does not meet the input threshold and includes less than the threshold amount of movement, the device forgoes generating a non-visual output corresponding to the input, and after detecting an end of the input, displays the first application on the display.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2019Publication date: May 7, 2020Inventors: Chanaka G. Karunamuni, Marcos Alonso Ruiz, Michael T. Turner, Mohammed N. Jisrawi

Publication number: 20190369829Abstract: An electronic device, with a display and an input device separate from the display, displays a user interface that includes a representation of a first application and a pointer object. The device receives, at the input device, a user input event directed to a location in the user interface at which the pointer object is displayed. In response to the user input event, when the respective location in the user interface at which the pointer object is displayed is over the representation of the first application, the device provides, to the first application, information that describes a simulated touch event including information that describes locations of one or more simulated touches in the user interface; and displays, on the display, a change in the representation of the first application that is determined by the first application in response to the information that describes the simulated touch event.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 29, 2019Publication date: December 5, 2019Inventors: Michael T. Turner, Raleigh J. Ledet

Publication number: 20190346986Abstract: An electronic device, while displaying a user interface for a first application, receives at the first application information that describes a first touch detected at a location on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to a respective user interface object. In accordance with a determination that the first touch meets predefined criteria associated with initiating a respective type of interface operation, the device initiates a user interface operation of the respective type involving the respective user interface object. The first application receives instructions to ignore the first touch with respect to user interface operations other than the respective type of interface operation, and ignores the first touch with respect to user interface operations other than the respective type of interface operation. In some embodiments, the respective type of interface operation is a drag operation, for dragging an object in or from a view of the first application.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 25, 2019Publication date: November 14, 2019Inventors: Bruce D. Nilo, Christopher K. Thomas, Dominik Wagner, Michael T. Turner

Patent number: 10444976Abstract: The subject technology provides for detecting a drag gesture selecting an item in a first application. The subject technology detects a touch release at an end of the drag gesture for dropping the item in a second application. The subject technology sends in response to the detected touch release, a message to the second application, the message including information for a plurality of representations of the item. The subject technology receives, from the second application, a request for a representation of the item from among the plurality of representations. The subject technology sends, to the first application, the request for the representation of the item. Further, the subject technology initiates a data transfer of the representation of the item from the first application to the second application.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2017Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Bruce D.

Publication number: 20190012036Abstract: An electronic device displays a user interface on a display. The user interface includes one or more user interface objects. The device detects an input on the touch-sensitive surface at a location that corresponds to a user interface object, including detecting a change in intensity of the input on the touch-sensitive surface from a first intensity to a second intensity. The device, in response to detecting the input, obtains a change in a value of a respective simulated physical parameter of a physics model that is driven by the change in intensity of the input on the touch-sensitive surface; and updates an appearance of the user interface by progressing an animation between a first state and a second state based on the change in the respective simulated physical parameter of the physics model.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2018Publication date: January 10, 2019Inventors: Sophia Teutschler, Stephen R.

Publication number: 20180335913Abstract: The subject technology provides for identifying an item being dragged over an application in which the items are arranged in a table in a first arrangement. The subject technology copies the first arrangement to generate a second arrangement that corresponds to an initial arrangement of the items when the item is identified as being dragged over the first application. The subject technology updates the first arrangement to reflect changed positions of the items in the table resulting from another item being inserted into the table. The subject technology updates the second arrangement to reflect changed positions of items. Further, the subject technology merges the updated second arrangement with the updated first arrangement to reconcile the changed positions resulting from the item being inserted into the table at the location with the changed positions resulting from the another item being inserted into the table.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2017Publication date: November 22, 2018Inventors: Bruce D.

Publication number: 20160092091Abstract: A group of files are presented on a graphical user interface using a template. The presentation is controlled by a rule associated with the template. A user input for adjusting a layout parameter of a selected file of the group of files is received. In response, the rule is examined and the layout parameter of the selected file is adjusted based on the rule. One or more next files in the group of files are evaluated to determine if the rule is satisfied following adjusting the layout parameter of the selected file. Based on determining that the rule is violated, layout parameters of the one or more next files are recursively adjusted until the rule is satisfied. The presentation of the group of files using the template is updated based on recursively adjusting the layout parameters of the one or more next files.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2015Publication date: March 31, 2016Inventors: Eric B. Hanson, Joachim Fornallaz, Michael T. Turner

Publication number: 20120090530Abstract: A pressure indicator for indicating pressure of a pressure source. The indicator comprises a first reservoir which defines a first enclosed volume having a first inlet pipe for communication between the first enclosed volume and a first source of pressurised fluid. The first inlet pipe defines a nominal communication path length between the first enclosed volume and a first source of pressurised fluid. A member is provided in the first inlet pipe which defines one or more communication paths of greater length to that of the nominal communication path length.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2011Publication date: April 19, 2012Applicant: ROLLS-ROYCE PLCInventors: Douglas J.
