  • Patent number: 10612908
    Abstract: An electronic device displays a field of view of a camera with a view of a three-dimensional space and updates the field of view based on changes detected by the camera. While a measurement-point-creation indicator is over a determined anchor point in the field of view, the device changes a visual appearance of the indicator to indicate that a measurement point will be added at the anchor point if a touch input meets first criteria. In response to a touch input that meets the first criteria, a measurement point is added at the anchor point if the indicator is over the anchor point, and at a location away from the anchor point if not. In response to movement of the camera changing the field of view, if the field of view does not include a feature to which measurement points can be added, the measurement-point-creation indicator ceases to be displayed.

  • Patent number: 10552009
    Abstract: An electronic device may display a first lap time representation, and may move the first lap time representation in accordance with a first amount of elapsed time. While moving the first lap time representation, the electronic device may detect a lap input. In response to the lap input, the electronic device may cease movement of the first lap time representation, display a second lap time representation, and move the second lap time representation in accordance with a second amount of elapsed time. A relative positioning of the first lap time representation and the second lap time representation may correspond to a difference between a first lap time and a second lap time. In some embodiments, the electronic device may update the timescales of lap time representation(s) in accordance with a rotational input. In some embodiments, the electronic device may update a timer duration setting in accordance with a rotational input.

  • Patent number: 10503388
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to manipulating a user interface on a wearable electronic device using a mechanical crown. In some examples, the user interface can be scrolled or scaled in response to a rotation of the crown. The direction of the scrolling or scaling and the amount of scrolling or scaling can depend on the direction and amount of rotation of the crown, respectively. In some examples, the amount of scrolling or scaling can be proportional to the change in rotation angle of the crown. In other examples, a speed of scrolling or a speed of scaling can depend on a speed of angular rotation of the crown. In these examples, a greater speed of rotation can cause a greater speed of scrolling or scaling to be performed on the displayed view.

  • Publication number: 20190342447
    Abstract: While an electronic device with a display is in a reduced notification mode, the device receives one or more communications. After receiving the one or more communications, the device detects an alert condition for the reduced notification mode. In response to detecting the alert condition for the reduced notification mode, the device displays a first user interface that includes a first affordance which, when activated, causes deactivation of the reduced notification mode of the electronic device. In response to detecting a first input that activates the first affordance, the device deactivates the reduced notification mode, and displays a second user interface. The second user interface does not display content from any one of the one or more communications. While the second user interface is displayed, in response to detecting a second input, the device displays notifications that include content for at least some of the one or more communications.

  • Publication number: 20190342252
    Abstract: A computer system has a plurality of notifications in a notification history, including a first notification of a first event of a first event type and a second notification of a second event of the first event type. The first notification and the second notification are coalesced in the notification history. In response to detecting an additional event of the first event type, a third notification is created for the additional event. After creating the third notification, in response to a request to display a wake screen, the wake screen is displayed with the third notification. The third notification is displayed without information about the first notification and the second notification. After the third notification has been displayed, in response to a request to display the notification history, the notification history is displayed with a coalesced representation of the first notification and the second notification.

  • Publication number: 20190342251
    Abstract: A computer system displays a plurality of notifications for a plurality of different applications including notifications for a first application and notifications for a second application. User interaction with the plurality of notifications includes requests to perform requested operations with respect to the notifications. In response to the user interaction, the requested operations are performed. A prompt for the user to adjust notification settings for one or more of the plurality of applications is displayed. In accordance with a determination, based on the user interaction, that engagement of the user with the notifications of the first application is below a threshold level of engagement and engagement of the user with the notifications of the second application is above the threshold level of engagement, a suggestion to reduce a prominence of future notifications of the first application without reducing a prominence of future notifications of the second application is displayed.

  • Patent number: 10460529
    Abstract: A computer system having a display generation component and one or more input devices displays a representation of a virtual three-dimensional object in a user interface region. In response to an input for rotating the object, when the input corresponds to a request to rotate the object about a first axis, the object is rotated by an amount that is determined based on a magnitude of the input and is constrained by a limit on the movement restricting rotation by more than a threshold amount. When the input corresponds to a request to rotate the object about a second axis, the object is rotated relative to the second axis by an amount that is determined based on a magnitude of the input, wherein, for an input with a magnitude above a respective threshold, the device rotates the object by more than the threshold amount of rotation.

  • Patent number: 10410035
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10379714
    Abstract: An electronic device with a display can receive an alert comprising information, and in response to receiving the alert, issue a perceptual output. The device can detect a user input and determine whether the user input was detected within a predetermined time interval after the perceptual output. In accordance with a determination that the user input was detected within the predetermined time interval, the device can display a notification on the display, wherein the notification comprises a first portion of the information. If the device continues to detect the user input after a second predetermined time period, the device can display a second portion of the information, where the second portion is different from the first portion.
