  • Patent number: 11842037
    Abstract: In some implementations, a user device may present, on a user interface (UI) associated with a user account, a first UI element. The user device may detect a user interaction, with the user device, indicating the first UI element. The user device may present, on the UI and based on the user interaction, a second UI element, which increases in length in a first direction from a start point, along a closed path around the first UI element and ending at the start point, while the user interaction is being detected. The second UI element completes the closed path when an interaction duration satisfies a duration threshold, which indicates a confirmation of a request for an action associated with the user account. The duration threshold is based on one or more parameters associated with one or more of the action, the user account, or the user interaction.

  • Patent number: 11797150
    Abstract: An electronic device displays a system user interface element that indicates a location for performing a gesture that triggers a system operation, a first application having a first set of behaviors associated with the element, and a second application having a different, second set of behaviors associated with the element. The first and second applications are both displayed along an edge of the display; the element overlaps the first application without overlapping the second application; and an appearance of the element is determined based on the first set of behaviors. The device detects an input corresponding to a request to resize the second application; and, in response, resizes the second application in accordance with the input and, if the element overlaps the second application without overlapping the first application, changes the appearance of the element to an appearance based on the second set of behaviors associated with the element.
