Application: Adding a contact to a home screen (Patent ID: US20230418436A1)
The patent filed by Apple Inc. describes a method for creating icons for contacts on a mobile device's user interface, allowing users to retrieve and display contact information and invoke personalized applications for each contact. The icons can be modified to show relevant information and can be temporarily displayed based on the proximity of the mobile device to the contact entity, disappearing when the device moves out of range.
The method involves receiving user inputs to display information associated with different entities, retrieving this information from various applications installed on the device, and presenting it on the user interface through different user interface objects. Users can interact with these objects to access specific information from different applications related to the entity. The user interface can overlay the home screen, providing personalized information for each entity and adapting the display based on the availability of information from the applications. This innovation aims to enhance user experience and efficiency in managing contacts and accessing relevant information on mobile devices.
