International Classification:

G06K005/00
G06K019/06

US Classification:

235/382000

Abstract:

A method for automated identification of the correctness of the identity of an item which has an associated primary identifier of a first machine readable type includes associating a separate, secondary identifier with the item prior to the time that verification of the correctness of the item is sought, the secondary identifier being of a second, machine readable, non-contact type. The primary identifier is read using a machine to provide primary identification information. The secondary identifier is also read using a machine to provide secondary identification information. The primary identification information and the secondary identification information are compared and the identity of the item is confirmed only if the comparison results in a match.

Appl. No.:

15/102834

Inventors:

- Cupertino CA, US
David J. Shoemaker - Redwood City CA, US
Eugene Dvortsov - San Francisco CA, US
Kamlesh Kudchadkar - Sunnyvale CA, US

Assignee:

Apple Inc. - Cupertino CA

International Classification:

G06F 3/01
H04W 8/24
H04W 4/00
H04W 4/02
G06F 3/0346
G06F 1/16

Abstract:

Information items can be exchanged between user devices worn or carried by two different users in response to the devices detecting a “greeting event” in which the devices are in proximity and the users of the devices concurrently execute a greeting gesture. In response to detecting an event, each device can select zero or more information items or data objects to send to the other, with the selection being based on contextual information available to the device making the selection.

Appl. No.:

15/113731

Inventors:

- Cupertino CA, US
David J. Shoemaker - Redwood City CA, US

Assignee:

Apple Inc. - Cupertino CA

International Classification:

G06F 3/16

Abstract:

Certain embodiments of the present invention can facilitate a smooth listening experience, during which a user can enjoy continuous music play despite moving between settings or using a device with restricted playing capabilities. While a first player device is playing songs from an audio collection, one or more other devices can be evaluated to determine whether one should take over the play. This determination can be made by comparatively evaluating properties of the other devices, such as their power source, battery charge (if applicable), network connection, access to a song, and/or device type. When a determination is made to transfer the play between devices, a message can be sent to the new player device that indicates when to begin play and which song to play. The first player device can cease playing substantially at the same time that the new player device begins play.

Appl. No.:

15/034164

Inventors:

- Cupertino CA, US
David J. Shoemaker - Redwood City CA, US

Assignee:

Apple Inc. - Cupertino CA

International Classification:

H04W 4/02
H04W 4/12
H04W 8/22

Abstract:

A mobile device can communicate with a wearable device to automatically detect when a stowed mobile device becomes unstowed and/or when a mobile device that is in use become stowed. Detection of stowing or unstowing of the mobile device can be based on comparison of data from sensors such as proximity sensors, motion sensors, and/or other environmental sensors between devices. When unstowing is detected, the mobile device can prepare itself for use based in part on context information provided by the wearable device, e.g., by activating a user interface component and/or launching an app based on the context information. When stowing is detected, the mobile device can inactivate a user interface component.
