Portable multifunction device, method, and graphical user interface supporting user navigations of graphical objects on a touch screen display

A portable multifunction device displays a first user interface object and a second user interface object on a touch screen display. Upon detecting a finger-down event at the first user interface object and one or more finger-dragging events on the touch screen display, the device moves the first user interface object on the touch screen display along a path determined by the finger-dragging events until the first user interface object at least in part overlaps the second user interface object. Upon detecting a finger-up event at the second user interface object, the device visually replaces the second user interface object with the first user interface object.

Blocking Driver Texting in Moving Vehicles while Allowing Passengers to Text
20220368795 · 2022-11-17 · ·

Systems and methods are described to block texting for a driver of a moving vehicle while allowing passengers to text. For one embodiment, the GPS position and/or speed of Texting-Capable Devices (TCDs) are compared via local communication (WiFi or Bluetooth) with those of local TCDs. If the position and/or speed track with one or more neighboring TCDs, those TCDs are assumed to be in the same vehicle. Further and via local communication, a TCD can query local TCDs to determine, using Known Acquaintance validation, if a TCD user is known to another TCD user. If so, they are assumed to be in the same vehicle. If one TCD in a vehicle is a registered Driver/Master TCD, then other TCDs in the vehicle (Passenger TCDs) are allowed to text. A TCD submitting a query need only reveal its GPS and/or Known Acquaintance data locally within its immediate vicinity.

Systems and methods for Documentation Through Gleaning Content [extract content (information) from various sources. collect gradually and bit by bit.] with an enhanced, easy to use and intuitive user interface experience. This is the system to glean the content such as text, image, audio, video in bit by bit from various sources such as web pages, document viewers, word of mouth, SMS, email, internet messenger, social medias etc., and tagged [labeled] to the document/topic in shorter amount of time. At any point of time one or more gleaned content(s) are compiled as a single document without the need of an editor. The team of users can use any type of devices to collaborate, review and publish the document.

RANGING BETWEEN MOBILE DEVICES

A mobile device can include ranging circuitry to determine distance to another mobile device. A first wireless protocol can establish an initial communication session to perform authentication and/or exchange ranging settings. A second protocol can perform ranging, and other wireless protocols can transmit content. In one example, the distance information can be used to display a relative position of another device on a user interface of a sending device. The user interface can allow a user to quickly and accurately select the recipient device for sending the data item. As another example, the distance information obtained from ranging can be used to trigger a notification (e.g., a reminder) to be output from a first mobile device or used to display a visual indicator on a receiving device. Proximity of a device (e.g., as determined by a distance) can be used to suggest recipient for a new communication.
