Patent number: 10164920Abstract: A method and system for exchanging email attachments is disclosed. An attachment can be sent to one or more recipients using a file hosting service. In this way, instead of including the attachment with the email, the attachment is sent and stored on a file server. The attachment can later be retrieved by the email's recipients using a link that is included in the email. The link can be embedded in the email's header or body. In one case, the attachment is automatically retrieved from the file server using the link. In another case, a recipient can manually retrieve the attachment from the file server using the link. A link can be associated with an expiration date such that when a link expires, the link can no longer be used to retrieve the attachment.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2014Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Evan S. Murphy, Christopher J. Lindsay, Cristobal Baray, Ian W. Anderson, Neil V. Jhaveri, Terence D. Blanchard

Patent number: 9483452Abstract: Methods and apparatus of generating document content are disclosed. Document content is generated by identifying a location in a document at which to insert content, the location associated with a content template, generating the content in accordance with the content template and application data generated by an application, and inserting the content into the document at the location in the document. The document content generation can further include retrieving application data from the application in accordance with a data mapping that maps application output data to the application data references in the template, where generating the content comprises generating text by replacing application data references in the template with the application data in accordance with the data mapping. The document content generation can further include retrieving one or more instances of previous application data from a historical record of previous application output.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2012Date of Patent: November 1, 2016Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Terence D.
