Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a more transparent and intuitive user interface for a portable device that enable a user to configure the user interface. SOLUTION: This portable electronic device displays a plurality of icons (e.g., graphical objects) in a region in a touch-sensitive display; detects a predefined user action with respect to the touch-sensitive display for initiating a predefined user interface reconfiguration process; and varies positions of one or more icons in the plurality of icons in response to detecting the predefined user action. The varying includes varying the positions of the one or more icons about respective average positions. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces for recording and playing audio and video. In one example, a first application requests a second application to initiate recording one or more data streams of the first application. The second application displays a confirmation affordance. In response to detecting activation of the confirmation affordance, the second application initiates a recording of at least one of the data stream of the first application.
Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to the use of loyalty accounts, private label payment accounts, and general payment accounts using an electronic device with an electronic wallet. Various accounts are linked to the electronic device. In some examples, the electronic device is NFC-enabled. The electronic device may be used to provide loyalty account information and payment account information to a payment terminal, such as an NFC-enabled payment terminal.

Abstract:
For a device that includes a touch-sensitive screen and a touch input interface, a method of presenting a map is described. The method displays a presentation of a map from a particular view of the map. The method generates and displays a rotating presentation of the map by changing the particular view while receiving a multi-touch input and for a duration of time after the multi-touch input has terminated in order to provide a degree of inertia motion for the rotating map presentation.
Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to making payments with a mobile device. In one example process, the device receives first authentication data, such as fingerprint authentication information, and second authentication data, such as a bank authorization code. The device then transmits a transaction request for a payment transactions. In another example process, the device detects activation of a physical input mechanism and detects a fingerprint using a biometric sensor. The device is enabled to participate in NFC payment transactions. In another example process, the device displays a live preview of images obtained via a camera sensor while the device detects partial credit card information of a credit card in a field of view of the camera sensor.
Abstract:
A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a mapping application for displaying a map is described. The mapping application displays selectable search results on a displayed map. The mapping program displays a banner (3865) that overlaps the displayed map to show brief information about one of the search results that is at a particular location on the map and to show a selectable item (3875) for displaying a window (3800) that overlaps the displayed map and displays detailed information about the search result at the particular location on the map.
Abstract:
Some embodiments of the invention provide a novel prediction engine that (1) can formulate predictions about current or future destinations and/or routes to such destinations for a user, and (2) can relay information to the user about these predictions. In some embodiments, this engine includes a machine-learning engine that facilitates the formulation of predicted future destinations and/or future routes to destinations based on stored, user-specific data. The user- specific data is different in different embodiments. In some embodiments, the stored, user- specific data includes data about any combination of the following: (1) previous destinations traveled to by the user, (2) previous routes taken by the user, (3) locations of calendared events in the user's calendar, (4) locations of events for which the user has electronic tickets, and (5) addresses parsed from recent e-mails and/or messages sent to the user. In some embodiments, the prediction engine only relies on user-specific data stored on the device on which this engine executes. Alternatively, in other embodiments, it relies only on user-specific data stored outside of the device by external devices/servers. In still other embodiments, the prediction engine relies on user-specific data stored both by the device and by other devices/servers.
Abstract:
With proliferation of mobile devices such as smartphones, users are enjoying numerous applications of numerous kinds that can be run on their devices. One popular type of such application is mapping and navigation applications that allow user to browse maps and get route directions. Despite their popularity, these mapping and navigation applications have shortcomings with their user interfaces and features that cause inconvenience to the users.
