  • Patent number: 11675476
    Abstract: Techniques for displaying widgets are described. In some examples, while displaying a first plurality of application icons, an electronic device detects a first user input. In response to detecting the first user input, in accordance with a determination that the first user input includes movement in a first direction, the electronic device ceases display of the first plurality of application icons, and displays a second plurality of application icons. In response to detecting the first user input, in accordance with a determination that the first user input includes movement in a second direction, the electronic device modifies display of the first plurality of application icons to change a distance between a first application icon and a second application icon of the first plurality of application icons, and concurrently displays the modified first plurality of application icons and the first set of one or more user interface elements.

  • Publication number: 20230133870
    Abstract: An electronic device having a camera, while displaying a live preview for the camera, detects activation of a shutter button at a first time. In response, the electronic device acquires, by the camera, a representative image that represents a first sequence of images, and a plurality of images after acquiring the representative image, and also displays an indication in the live preview that the camera is capturing images for the first sequence of images. The electronic device groups images acquired by the camera in temporal proximity to the activation of the shutter button at the first time into the first sequence of images, such that the first sequence of images includes a plurality of images acquired by the camera prior to detecting activation of the shutter button at the first time, the representative image, and the plurality of images acquired by the camera after acquiring the representative image.

  • Patent number: 11640768
    Abstract: A configuration for a breathing sequence may be defined using a hardware element of a user device. A user interface of the user device may be used to begin the breathing sequence. During the breathing sequence, a fluctuating progress indicator user interface element may fluctuate at a cyclic rate. Such fluctuation may include repeated growing and repeated shrinking of the fluctuating progress indicator user interface element. During the breathing sequence, heart rate data may be collected and used to present heart rate information at a conclusion of the breathing sequence.

  • Publication number: 20230114043
    Abstract: A computer system concurrently displays a view of a physical environment; and a computer-generated user interface element overlaid on the view of the physical environment. An appearance of the computer-generated user interface element is based on an appearance of the view of the physical environment on which the computer-generated user interface element is overlaid. In response to an appearance of the physical environment changing, the appearance of the computer-generated user interface element is updated at a first time based on a graphical composition of the appearance of one or more portions of the physical environment at different times prior to the first time, including: an appearance of a first portion of the physical environment at a second time that is before the first time; and an appearance of a second portion of the physical environment at a third time that is before the second time.
