Publication number: 20260161260Abstract: Some examples of the disclosure are directed to systems and methods for sharing information based on a request for information. In some examples, the electronic device receives a request for information from a source (e.g., a second electronic device different than the electronic device or a person in the physical environment of the electronic device). In some examples, based on the context of the electronic device (e.g., based on how the request for information was received, the environmental context when receiving the request for information, and/or the application(s) receiving the request for information), the electronic device displays respective information in response to receiving the request for information. In some examples, the electronic device captures environmental context using one or more input devices. In some examples, the electronic device uses the environmental context to determine detect a request for information and/or provide information corresponding to the request for information.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2025Publication date: June 11, 2026Inventors: James D. DUSSEAU, Noah GAMBOA, Colton J. CHESNUT, Jeffrey S. NORRIS

Publication number: 20260111094Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for selecting a point-of-view (POV) for displaying an environment. In some implementations, a device includes a display, one or more processors, and a non-transitory memory. In some implementations, a method includes displaying a first view of a target located in a graphical environment, wherein the first view is associated with a first rig. In some implementations, the method includes detecting a change in the graphical environment. In some implementations, the method includes, in response to detecting the change in the graphical environment, switching from the first rig to a second rig that provides a second view of the target that is different from the first view.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 21, 2025Publication date: April 23, 2026Inventors: Dan Feng, Aashi Manglik, Adam M. O'Hern, Bo Morgan, Bradley W. Peebler, Daniel L. Kovacs, Edward Ahn, James Moll, Mark E. Drummond, Michelle Chua, Mu Qiao, Noah Gamboa, Payal Jotwani, Siva Chandra Mouli Sivapurapu

Patent number: 12499599Abstract: In some implementations, the method includes: obtaining a plurality of animations; determining initial and end motion states for each of the plurality of animations; generating an animation graph including nodes for each of the plurality of animations by connecting, with a directional edge, a first node with an end motion state to a second node with an initial motion state that matches the end motion state of the first node; generating a transitional animation that is not included among the plurality of animations from an initial reference motion state to a target motion state that corresponds to a path that traverses the animation graph from a third node associated with the initial reference motion state to a fourth node associated with the target motion state; and updating the animation graph by removing one or more nodes from the animation graph based at least in part on the transitional animation.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2022Date of Patent: December 16, 2025Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Aashi Manglik, Siva Chandra Mouli Sivapurapu, Shaun D. Budhram, Edward Ahn, Mark E. Drummond, Noah Gamboa, Behrooz Mahasseni

Patent number: 12474814Abstract: A device obtains a request to display a graphical environment. The graphical environment is associated with a set of saliency values corresponding to respective portions of the graphical environment. A POV for displaying the graphical environment is selected based on the set of saliency values. The graphical environment is displayed from the selected POV on the display.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2023Date of Patent: November 18, 2025Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Dan Feng, Aashi Manglik, Adam M. O'Hern, Bo Morgan, Bradley W. Peebler, Daniel L. Kovacs, Edward Ahn, James Moll, Mark E. Drummond, Michelle Chua, Mu Qiao, Noah Gamboa, Payal Jotwani, Siva Chandra Mouli Sivapurapu

Publication number: 20250342658Abstract: In one implementation, a method of presenting a scene content is performed at a device including a display, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes generating a definition of a scene based on a model of an environment, wherein the definition includes a constraint that defines a spatial relationship between a first asset and a second asset that corresponds to one or more objects in the environment. The method includes generating, based on application of the definition of the scene to first and second environments, first and second instances of the scene that satisfy the constraint with the first asset in the spatial relationship with a first one and a second one of the one or more objects in the first and second environments, respectively. The method includes presenting, on the display, the first and second instances of the scene.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2025Publication date: November 6, 2025Inventors: Mark E. Drummond, Daniel L. Kovacs, Shaun D. Budhram, Edward Ahn, Behrooz Mahasseni, Aashi Manglik, Payal Jotwani, Mu Qiao, Bo Morgan, Noah Gamboa, Michael J. Gutensohn, Dan Feng, Siva Chandra Mouli Sivapurapu

Patent number: 12394146Abstract: In one implementation, a method of composing a scene content is performed at a device including a display, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes generating a definition of a scene based on textual or speech input and a model of a physical environment, wherein the definition includes a constraint that defines a spatial relationship between a virtual asset and an anchor asset that corresponds to one or more physical objects in the physical environment. The method includes generating, based on the definition of the scene and the model of the physical environment, a first instance of the scene that satisfies the constraint with the virtual asset in the spatial relationship with a first one of the one or more physical objects in the physical environment. The method includes presenting, on the display, the first instance of the scene.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2022Date of Patent: August 19, 2025Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Mark E. Drummond, Daniel L. Kovacs, Shaun D. Budhram, Edward Ahn, Behrooz Mahasseni, Aashi Manglik, Payal Jotwani, Mu Qiao, Bo Morgan, Noah Gamboa, Michael J. Gutensohn, Dan Feng, Siva Chandra Mouli Sivapurapu

Publication number: 20250054249Abstract: In one implementation, a method of displaying content is performed at a device including a display, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes scanning a first physical environment to detect a first physical object in the first physical environment and a second physical object in the first physical environment, wherein the first physical object meets at least one first object criterion and the second physical object meets at least one second object criterion. The method includes displaying, in association with the first physical environment, a virtual object moving along a first path from the first physical object to the second physical object.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2024Publication date: February 13, 2025Inventors: Mark E. Drummond, Daniel L. Kovacs, Shaun D. Budhram, Edward Ahn, Behrooz Mahasseni, Aashi Manglik, Payal Jotwani, Mu Qiao, Bo Morgan, Noah Gamboa, Michael J.
