Patent number: 10863307Abstract: A system and method of locating “friends” having mobile devices connected to a network and associated with a user account is disclosed. The method includes sending a request to a mobile device, the mobile device determining its present geographic location and responding to the requestor with this information. This information may be in the form of a coordinate location such as a GPS location or it may be in the form of a name that the mobile device owner assigned to a particular area (e.g., “home”). Having this location information, a user is able to view the location of the friend that is associated with the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2019Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Raghu Pai, Timothy S.

Patent number: 10218719Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for providing protection against alteration of data, such as a credential, associated with a transaction. A first communication is received from a requesting system. The first communication includes a credential and corresponds to an indication that an extended-duration task is being initiated and a request to listen to a status of the credential. A device-listening data store is updated to associate the credential with an identifier associated with the requesting system. When an event is detected that indicates that the credential has been modified or cancelled, the device-listening data store is queried based on the credential. In response to the query, the identifier associated with the requesting device is received. A second communication is generated that corresponds to an alert that identifies a status of the credential as having been modified or cancelled. The second communication is transmitted to the requesting system.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2016Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Timothy S. Hurley, David E.

Publication number: 20180089660Abstract: The systems and methods disclosed herein provide features that allow a user (e.g., sender) to make anonymous direct person-to-person payments to a recipient (e.g., another user). In some cases, the recipient may be someone that the sender of the payment does not know. Thus, the sender and/or recipient of the payment may wish to obfuscate (e.g., hide, obscure, etc.) at least a portion their respective identities. The sender and/or recipient can configure the system to provide a limited amount (e.g., some, or none) of personal information to the other party to the transaction. When the system processes the transaction, the configured amount of personal information can be shared with each party (e.g., sender, recipient) to the transaction so that each party can maintain a desired level of anonymity.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2017Publication date: March 29, 2018Inventors: Thomas ELLIOTT, Timothy S. HURLEY, Richard M. KRAKOWSKI, Richard D. EWING, Glen W. STEELE, Rupa B. VAZIRANI

Patent number: 9888058Abstract: Techniques are provided for causing a file to be sent from a source device over a network to one or more destination devices. An intermediary receives a notification of a file and determines which destination device(s) are to retrieve the file. The intermediary may determine the destination device(s) based on one or more attributes of the file. The intermediary may cause the file to be stored in persistent storage that is maintained by a separate storage service. The intermediary may cause the file to be deleted after a particular period of time. The source device may send multiple versions of a file to the intermediary, which determines which destination device is to receive which version. The file may be a digital image and a destination device may be a device that displays a slideshow of digital images while the destination device receives the digital image over a network.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2016Date of Patent: February 6, 2018Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Timothy S.

Publication number: 20170161716Abstract: In some implementations, a mobile device can receive identification information for a merchant store location. The mobile device can receive the identification information when the mobile device is proximate to the store location, for example. The mobile device can obtain graphical user interface (GUI) configuration data for the merchant store location based on the store location identification information. For example, the mobile device can obtain GUI content that has been customized for the merchant store location. The mobile device can configure a GUI of an application installed on the mobile device based on the obtained GUI configuration data. The mobile device can make the proximity application accessible to a user of the mobile device when the mobile device is near the store location.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 4, 2015Publication date: June 8, 2017Inventors: Timothy S.
