Publication number: 20240054736Abstract: An electronic device such as a head-mounted device may present extended reality content such as a representation of a three-dimensional environment. The representation of the three-dimensional environment may be changed between different viewing modes having different immersion levels in response to user input. The three-dimensional environment may represent a multiuser communication session. A multiuser communication session may be saved and subsequently viewed as a replay. There may be an interactive virtual object within the replay of the multiuser communication session. The pose of the interactive virtual object may be manipulated by a user while the replay is paused. Some multiuser communication sessions may be hierarchical multiuser communication sessions with a presenter and audience members. The presenter and audience members may receive generalized feedback based on the audience members during the presentation.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2023Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: Aaron M. Burns, Adam G. Poulos, Alexis H. Palangie, Benjamin R. Blachnitzky, Charilaos Papadopoulos, David M. Schattel, Ezgi Demirayak, Jia Wang, Reza Abbasian, Ryan S. Carlin

Publication number: 20240028689Abstract: A method and apparatus of a device that converts an account associated with an application to use a single sign-on service is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device receives an indication of a weak password associated with the account. The device further sends a request to verify an account credential for a user associated with the device. In addition, the device receives the verification of the account credential. The device additionally requests a single sign-on credential for the account and receives the single sign-on credential. Furthermore, the device sends a message to a server associated with a service for the application that the application is registered for the single sign-on service.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2023Publication date: January 25, 2024Inventors: Richard J.

Patent number: 11876806Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to user authentication. In some embodiments, a first computing device receives, from a second computing device, a request for a user credential to be input into an authentication prompt associated with the second device. The first computing device determines a proximity associated with the second computing device based on a received wireless location beacon and, based on the request and the determined proximity, presents a selection prompt asking a user of the first computing device to select a user credential stored in the first computing device. The first computing device then provides the selected user credential to the second computing device to input into the authentication prompt. In some embodiments, the first computing device receives the wireless location beacon from a remote controller of the second computing device and determines a proximity based on a signal strength associated with the received location beacon.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2022Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Conrad A. Shultz, Alexander D. Sanciangco, Brent M. Ledvina, Chelsea E. Pugh, Kyle C. Brogle, Marc J. Krochmal, Maureen G. Daum, Reza Abbasian, Richard J. Mondello, Jacob S. Klapper

Patent number: 11775632Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to credential managers. In some embodiments, a computing device maintains a credential manager that stores, in a protected manner, a set of credentials for authenticating a user and metadata about the credentials. The computing device stores an instance of the metadata externally to the credential manager. The computing device uses the externally stored metadata to determine whether the set of credentials includes a particular credential associated with a service and, in response to determining that the set of credentials includes the particular credential, displays an indication of the particular credential. In some embodiments, the computing device receives a selection of the displayed indication by the user and, in response to the selection, sends a request for the particular credential to the credential manager.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2023Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Reza Abbasian, Richard J.

Patent number: 11593082Abstract: The subject technology provides a portion of the functionality of an application on an electronic device on which the application is not installed. The portion of the functionality of the application is provided by a clip of the application that can be obtained, installed, and launched on the user device, at the time the functionality is desired by a user, and without authenticating information for the user. The clip of the application can provide the user with access to a purchase function, an ordering function, or any other sub-function of the application. When the application itself is installed on the device, the clip of the application can be deleted while preserving access, by the application, to data generated on the device by the clip.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2020Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Reza Abbasian, Steven J.
