Device, method, and graphical user interface for manipulating user interfaces based on unlock inputs
Patent number: 11768575Abstract: An electronic device with a display and a fingerprint sensor displays a fingerprint enrollment interface and detects, on the fingerprint sensor, a plurality of finger gestures performed with a finger. The device collects fingerprint information from the plurality of finger gestures performed with the finger. After collecting the fingerprint information, the device determines whether the collected fingerprint information is sufficient to enroll a fingerprint of the finger. When the collected fingerprint information for the finger is sufficient to enroll the fingerprint of the finger, the device enrolls the fingerprint of the finger with the device. When the collected fingerprint information for the finger is not sufficient to enroll the fingerprint of the finger, the device displays a message in the fingerprint enrollment interface prompting a user to perform one or more additional finger gestures on the fingerprint sensor with the finger.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2022Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Byron Han, Matthew E.

Patent number: 11762538Abstract: A computer system or electronic device displays, at a first time, a first user interface that includes a placement location and is configured to spatially accommodate a respective user interface object of a plurality of user interface objects, including first and second user interface objects. At the first time, the first user interface object is displayed at the placement location. At a second time, the first user interface is displayed with the second user interface object at the placement location. The second user interface object is automatically selected for display based on a current context of the device at the second time. In response to detecting a gesture of a first type directed to the placement location, the second user interface object is replaced with a different user interface object from the plurality of user interface objects associated with the placement location.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2020Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: William M.

Patent number: 11741210Abstract: The described embodiments perform a proximity unlock operation. For the proximity unlock operation, a first electronic device in a locked operating state detects that an authorized second electronic device is in proximity to the first electronic device. Based on detecting the authorized second electronic device in proximity to the first electronic device, the first electronic device transitions from a locked operating state to an unlocked operating state. In the described embodiments, the transition to the unlocked operating state occurs without the user performing a manual authentication step that is performed in existing electronic devices to cause the transition from the locked operating state to the unlocked operating state.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2021Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Robert R.

Patent number: 11729470Abstract: In some implementations, a user device can predictively route media content to a remote playback device based on playback context information obtained by the user device. The playback context can include local playback context information related to the state and/or context of the user device. The playback context can include remote playback context information related to the state and/or context of available remote playback devices. Based on the playback context information obtained by the user device, the user device can generate a predictive score for each available playback device that indicates or predicts the likelihood that the user will want to send media content to the corresponding playback device. The user device can generate and present a graphical user interface that can identify the playback devices having predictive scores over a threshold score. In some instances, the user device can automatically route selected media content to a predicted playback device.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2021Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Brian D.
