Publication number: 20170318137Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide various communication techniques for communication between a mobile computing device and an accessory. An accessory protocol that is generic to the mobile computing device can be used for some communication. An application executing at the mobile computing device can communicate with the accessory using an application communication protocol. In some embodiments, the application communication protocol can be different from the accessory communication protocol. In other embodiments the application protocol may only be recognized by the application and the accessory. In some embodiments, messages conforming to an application protocol can be communicated between the application and the accessory by packaging the messages inside a message conforming to the accessory communication protocol.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2017Publication date: November 2, 2017Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Paul-Phillip Holden, Lawrence G. Bolton, Nitin Ganatra, Mitchell D. Adler, Emily Clark Schubert, Jesse Lee Dorogusker

Publication number: 20170013066Abstract: An application can be launched in response to a launch request from an accessory. For example, the mobile computing device can determine whether it is in a state that allows launching of an application and/or can determine whether the application or application type requested in the launch command is available for launching. In response to the request, and if the mobile computing device is capable, the mobile computing device can launch the application. The mobile computing device can also send a positive acknowledgment message to the accessory indicating that the application may be launched. An open communication session message may also be sent to the accessory. In response thereto the accessory can open a communication session and interoperate with the application.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2016Publication date: January 12, 2017Applicant: Apple Inc.Inventors: Shyam S. Toprani, Paul Holden, Emily Clark Schubert, Thomas Alsina, Scott Forstall, Lawrence G. Bolton, Nitin Ganatra, Mitchell D. Adler, Jesse Lee Dorogusker

Publication number: 20150331699Abstract: A routing screen is presented on an electronic device by a user interface application in response to receiving a notification that an external audio device is connected to the electronic device. The routing screen displays representations of an internal audio device and the external audio device. In one aspect, the representations are buttons. In another aspect, the representations are entries in a list. If a user selects one of representations, the user interface application causes the audio signals to be routed to the audio device represented by the selection. An application control screen having a set of objects that represent functions for an audio application may also be displayed. One of the objects on the application control screen is modified in response status changes in the external audio device. A user may select this object to access the routing screen when the external audio device is connected.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2015Publication date: November 19, 2015Inventors: Christopher McKillop, Gregory Christie, Hooman Borghei, Justin Edward Santamaria, Chris Ryan, Nitin Ganatra
