Patent number: 9626370Abstract: Systems and methods for managing data, such as metadata or indexes for index databases. In one exemplary method, different processing priorities are assigned to different indexing tasks based upon the origin of the task. In another exemplary method, indexing tasks are processed in a first mode when a data processing system is in a first power state and indexing tasks are processed in a second mode when the data processing system is in a second power state.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2015Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Yan Arrouye, Dominic Giampaolo, Andrew Carol

Publication number: 20160299821Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for storing and restoring digital data. In some implementations, a method is provided. The method includes receiving, while a current view of an application is displayed in a user interface, a first user input requesting that a history view associated with the current view of the application be displayed, retrieve data associated with the history view, determining a presentation format for the data, and displaying the history view in response to the first user input in accordance with the presentation format, the history view including data associated with at least a first visual representation of an earlier version of the current view of the application.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 11, 2016Publication date: October 13, 2016Inventors: Toby Charles Wood PATERSON, David A. LYONS, Julien Jacques JALON, Julien Yann ROBERT, Pavel CISLER, Yan ARROUYE, Robert M. CHINN

Patent number: 9460096Abstract: Systems and methods for managing data, such as metadata. In one exemplary method, metadata from files created by several different software applications are captured, and the captured metadata is searched. The type of information in metadata for one type of file differs from the type of information in metadata for another type of file. Other methods are described and data processing systems and machine readable media are also described.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2014Date of Patent: October 4, 2016Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Yan Arrouye, Dominic Giampaolo, Bas Ording, Gregory Christie, Stephen Olivier Lemay, Marcel van Os, Imran Chaudhri, Kevin Tiene, Pavel Cisler, Vincenzo De Marco

Publication number: 20160239507Abstract: Systems and methods for managing data, such as metadata or index databases. In one exemplary method, a notification that an existing file has been modified or that a new file has been created is received by an indexing software component, which then, in response to the notification performs an indexing operation, where the notification is either not based solely on time or user input or the notification includes an identifier that identifies the file. Other methods in data processing systems and machine readable media are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2016Publication date: August 18, 2016Inventors: Yan Arrouye, Dominic Giampaolo, Andrew Carol, Steve Zellers

Patent number: 9405784Abstract: Systems and methods for processing an index are described. A postings list of items containing a particular term are ordered in a desired retrieval order, e.g., most recent first. The ordered items are inserted into an inverted index in the desired retrieval order, resulting in an ordered inverted index from which items may be efficiently retrieved in the desired retrieval order. During retrieval, items may first be retrieved from a live index, and the retrieved items from the live and ordered indexes may be merged. The retrieved items may also be filtered in accordance with the items' file grouping parameters.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2015Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Wayne Loofbourrow, John Martin Hornkvist, Eric Richard Koebler, Yan Arrouye

Publication number: 20150277889Abstract: A cloud computing system can be used to transparently reduce the storage space of an application on a client device. An application can be installed with a minimal set of application resource files. The remaining application resource files can be replaced with application resource file placeholders, which can have the appearance of application resource files but are in fact empty files. When an application requests an application resource file, an application resource file retrieval process installed on the client device can detect the difference between an application resource file and an application resource file placeholder. The application resource file retrieval process can trigger a fault in response to detecting an application resource file placeholder, which causes the client device to obtain the requested application resource file from a remote storage location, such as cloud-based storage. Additionally, installed application resource files can be replaced with application resource file placeholders.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2015Publication date: October 1, 2015Inventors: Yan Arrouye, Dominic B.

Patent number: 9128960Abstract: Assisted face selection is disclosed. According to some implementations, a method can include obtaining contact information associated with a contact and displaying on an interface of a computing device an image (e.g., a thumbnail image) representative of the contact. The method can include receiving an indication to change the contact-representative image, determining that one or more other images from a plurality of other images correspond to the contact based on the contact information, and displaying the one or more other images. The method can include receiving a selection of one of the one or more other images and displaying on the interface the selected image as the contact-representative image. Receiving the indication can include receiving a selection of the displayed contact-representative image. Automatic selection of images is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2011Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Alexandre Moha, Cédric Bray, Yan Arrouye

Patent number: 9130952Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for searching metadata are described herein. In one embodiment, an example of a process for search metadata includes, hut is not limited to, in response to a search query for metadata stored in one or more of metadata stores, the search query is partitioned into multiple search query segments. Thereafter, searches corresponding to the search query segments are performed, where each search is performed independently within the one or more metadata stores. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2014Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Kaelin Lee Colclasure, Ruxton J.

Publication number: 20150188866Abstract: A method and apparatus of a device that focuses messages is described. In an exemplary method, the device receives a first and second group of message. The device further selects a related message from the second group of messages that is related to each message in the first group. This selecting is based on an affinity group, where the affinity group includes a message address that occurs in at least one of the messages in the second group and the affinity group is determined using the message addresses contained in the first and second groups.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2015Publication date: July 2, 2015Inventors: Wayne Loofbourrow, Yan Arrouye
