Patent number: 12190706Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are provided for creating and providing reminders that involve an activity states of an application on a device. An activity state can correspond to a particular view within an application, e.g., a view that was reached after several inputs from a user. A user can provide a specification of an activity state in a variety of ways, e.g., providing a reminder command while the application is executing in the foreground with the desired activity state or by voice commands that specify the activity state. A user can provide one or more trigger criteria. Once the reminder is triggered, the specified activity state can be provided to the user.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2023Date of Patent: January 7, 2025Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Scott Adler, Viktor Miladinov, Garett R.

Patent number: 12002010Abstract: Events that are described in either structured data (e.g. HTML web page or email) or text in a natural language description can be extracted and entered into one or more calendars on a user's device. In one embodiment, selecting an add event command in a calendar application can cause the calendar application to search, without having received any search input, in a database of extracted events, and events extracted within a predetermined period of time can be suggested as events to add to the calendar. In one embodiment, an extracted event can cause a notification to be displayed to a user. Other embodiments are also described herein.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2018Date of Patent: June 4, 2024Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Sofiane Toudji, Erik M. Berget, Scott Adler, Samuel C. Cates

Publication number: 20200242560Abstract: In an example method, a mobile device receives a first calendar item associated with a first event. The first calendar item includes a first text string. The mobile device determines a correlation between the first text string and one or more locations associated with one or more second events. The mobile device determines a suggested location for the first event based on the correlation.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2020Publication date: July 30, 2020Inventors: Scott Adler, Daniel C.

Patent number: 10475327Abstract: A method and device for providing a reminder to a user of a mobile device are provided. A location of the mobile device is monitored to identify whether the first geographical area is triggered by the mobile device crossing a first boundary of the first geographical area. After the mobile device crosses the first boundary the first location-based reminder is identified and a state of the mobile device is determined. The first location-based reminder can be provided to the user when an opportune event occurs.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2019Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Scott Adler, Viktor Miladinov

Patent number: 10235863Abstract: A method and device for providing a reminder to a user of a mobile device are provided. The method includes receiving a request to establish a first geographical area for the mobile device for triggering a first location-based reminder, the request including a flag indicating that other sensor information is to be used to determine when to provide the first location-based reminder to the user. A location of the mobile device is monitored to identify whether the first geographical area is triggered by the mobile device crossing a first boundary of the first geographical area. After the mobile device crosses the first boundary the first location-based reminder is identified and a state of the mobile device is determined. The first location-based reminder is provided to the user based on the state of the mobile device being included in a list of trigger states.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2015Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Scott Adler, Viktor Miladinov

Patent number: 9715816Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a reminder to a mobile device are provided. After receiving a request to establish a reminder from a user, a plurality of reminder options are provided. Each reminder option corresponds to a different category of reminders, and a first reminder option of the reminder options corresponds to a connection state of the mobile device with a processor of a vehicle. A selection of the first reminder option for the reminder is received. An indication of a transition that is to trigger the reminder is also received. The transition corresponds to the mobile device establishing a wireless connection to a processor of the vehicle or the mobile device disconnecting from the vehicle processor. Content for the reminder is received. In response to detecting the transition between the mobile device and the processor of the vehicle, the content of the reminder is provided to the user.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2016Date of Patent: July 25, 2017Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Scott Adler, Viktor Miladinov

Publication number: 20160357804Abstract: A method of determining a location of an event stored on a calendar application of a device is provided. The method sends a location string associated with the event from the calendar application to a geo coder. The method receives a handle that includes a set of data items that uniquely identifies the location of the event. The data items in the handle are not accessed or individually utilized by the calendar application. Prior to the start of the event, the method requests travel updates to the location of event from a navigation application. The request includes the handle and the start time of the event. The method receives periodic routing updates to the location of the event from the navigation application.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2015Publication date: December 8, 2016Inventors: Christine B.

Publication number: 20160358128Abstract: A method of providing travel updates for an event stored in a calendar application of a device is provided. The method receives the location and the starting time of the event from the calendar application at a navigation application of the device. The method determines an estimated travel time from the current location of the device to the location of the event. The method determines a time for timely departure to the event based on the estimated travel time. The method provides several travel updates that include the time for timely departure to the calendar application. The travel updates are utilized by the calendar application to provide a set of alerts regarding the time for the timely departure to the event.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2015Publication date: December 8, 2016Inventors: Christine B.
