  • Patent number: 11849255
    Abstract: An electronic device is disclosed. The device can display a live video communication user interface of a live video communication application that includes participant affordances corresponding to participants. In response to detecting an input that corresponds to a request to initiate a process of starting a new live communication session, the device can: in accordance with the input corresponding to selection of the first participant affordance, initiate a process of starting a new live communication session that includes a group of three or more participants; and in accordance with the input corresponding to selection of the new session affordance, initiate a process for selecting two or more participants and start a new live communication session that includes a participant associated with the device and the selected participants.

  • Patent number: 10389977
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a display, one or more processors, and memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors. The device can receive a request to display a user interface for a live communication session between two or more participants. In response to receiving the request to display the user interface for the live communication session between two or more participants, the device can display a live communication user interface including concurrently displaying a plurality of representations of participants in the live communication session. Moreover, the device can display the plurality of representations of participants in live user interface differently based on the number of participants in the live communication session.

  • Patent number: 10362272
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a display, one or more processors, and memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors. The one or more programs may include instructions for displaying a live video communication user interface that includes concurrently displaying representations of a first, second, and third participant in the live communication session. While displaying the live video communication user interface, the one or more programs may also include instructions for include receiving data indicating that an activity level of the second participant has increased above the activity level of the first participant. Further, in response to receiving the data, the one or more programs may further include instructions for changing a size and/or position of the representations of the first, second, and third participants.

  • Patent number: 7837646
    Abstract: A shunt system quick connector assembly to quickly connect and disconnect a catheter to a hydrocephalus shunt system comprising a valve in a valve housing. The catheter is affixed to the quick connector assembly. The quick connector assembly snaps over an external barb on the valve housing of the shunt system with an audible sound, so that the surgeon knows that connection has been made. The connector assembly can be operated quickly, minimizing the time for the surgical procedure and the opportunity for infection. The connector assembly has smooth surfaces to minimize the growing of tissue into the connection.
