Patent number: 11947782Abstract: In some embodiments, a multifunction device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface creates a plurality of workspace views. A respective workspace view is configured to contain content assigned by a user to the respective workspace view. The content includes application windows. The device displays a first workspace view in the plurality of workspace views on the display without displaying other workspace views in the plurality of workspace views and detects a first multifinger gesture on the touch-sensitive surface. In response to detecting the first multifinger gesture on the touch-sensitive surface, the device replaces display of the first workspace view with concurrent display of the plurality of workspace views.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Julian Missig, Jonathan Koch, Avi E.

Patent number: 10402624Abstract: One embodiment may take the form of a method of operating a computing device to provide presence based functionality. The method may include operating the computing device in a reduced power state and collecting a first set of data from a first sensor. Based on the first set of data, the computing device determines if an object is within a threshold distance of the computing device and, if the object is within the threshold distance, the device activates a secondary sensor to collect a second set of data. Based on the second set of data, the device determines if the object is a person. If the object is a person, the device determines a position of the person relative to the computing device and executes a change of state in the computing device based on the position of the person relative to the computing device. If the object is not a person, the computing device remains in a reduced power state.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2017Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Edward Allen Valko, Matthew C. Waldon, Rudolph Van der Merwe, William Matthew Vieta, Myra M. Haggerty, Alex T. Nelson

Patent number: 8799826Abstract: In some embodiments, a multifunction device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface displays a multi-week view in a calendar application on the display and detects a first input by a user. In response to detecting the first input by the user, the device selects a first calendar entry in the multi-week view in the calendar application. While continuing to detect selection of the first calendar entry by the user, the device detects a first multifinger gesture on the touch-sensitive surface, and in response to detecting the first multifinger gesture on the touch-sensitive surface, the device expands display of a single week in the multi-week view; and maintains display of the first calendar entry on the display. In some embodiments, the device moves the first calendar entry to a date and time in the calendar application in accordance with a second input by the user.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2009Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Julian Missig, Jonathan Koch, Avi E.

Publication number: 20120287035Abstract: One embodiment may take the form of a method of operating a computing device in a reduced power state and collecting a first set of data from at least one sensor. Based on the first set of data, the computing device determines a probability that an object is within a threshold distance of the computing device and, if so, the device activates at least one secondary sensor to collect a second set of data. Based on the second set of data, the device determines if the object is a person. If it is a person, a position of the person relative to the computing device is determined and the computing device changes its state based on the position of the person. If the object is not a person, the computing device remains in a reduced power state.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2012Publication date: November 15, 2012Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Edward Allen Valko, Matthew C.
