  • Patent number: 11435897
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device displays a playback user interface that is configured to playback content on the electronic device. While displaying the playback user interface that is configured to playback the content on the electronic device, the electronic device displays a scrubber bar for navigating through the content, wherein the scrubber bar includes: a visual indication of a current playback position within the content; and one or more playback time indications that include time values based on the current playback position within the content. A respective playback time indication of the one or more playback time indications is based on a time of day at the electronic device, and an amount of time that it will take to play the content from the current playback position to an end of the content at a respective content playback speed.

  • Publication number: 20220253189
    Abstract: While concurrently displaying representations of a plurality of recently used applications, including a first application representation that corresponds to a first application and a second application representation that corresponds to a second application, at least a first portion of a first user input, including first movement of an input object, is detected. If the first movement of the input object includes movement in a first direction that meets first criteria, the representations of the plurality of recently used applications cease to be displayed and an application launching user interface is displayed. If the first movement of the input object includes movement in a second direction that meets second criteria, the representations of the plurality of recently used applications cease to be displayed and a first user interface of the first application is displayed in an enhanced-reachability mode and shifted in a predefined direction at least partially off of the display.

  • Patent number: 11379113
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to selecting text. An example method includes displaying, a focus indicator at a first location; while displaying the focus indicator, detecting a gesture at a first touch location that corresponds to the focus indicator; while detecting the gesture, detecting movement of the gesture to a second touch location; in response to detecting movement of the gesture to the second touch location: in accordance with a determination that the second touch location is in a first direction, moving the focus indicator to a second indicator location; in accordance with a determination that the second touch location is in a second direction, moving the focus indicator to a third location; while the focus indicator is at a fourth location, detecting liftoff of the gesture; and in response to detecting the liftoff, maintaining display of the focus indicator at the fourth location.

  • Publication number: 20220187961
    Abstract: An electronic device provides, to a display, data to present a user interface that includes a plurality of user interface objects, and a current focus on a first user interface object. While the display is presenting the user interface, the electronic device receives an input that corresponds to a movement of a contact across on a touch-sensitive surface. The electronic device, in response to receiving the input and in accordance with a determination that a first axis is a dominant axis, moves the current focus along the first axis by a first amount and along the second axis by a second amount. The amount of movement of the current focus along the second axis is reduced to a first non-zero amount by a scaling factor that is based on one or more inputs received prior to receiving the input.

  • Patent number: 11360644
    Abstract: In response to a substantially stationary input directed to a user interface object on a first user interface: if the input does not meet an input threshold, the device, after detecting an end of the input, replaces display of the first user interface with a second user interface corresponding to the user interface object; if the input meets the input threshold and does not meet a greater, second input threshold, the device displays, after detecting the end of the input, a first respective user interface region that includes information corresponding to the user interface object overlaying a portion of the first user interface; and if the input meets the greater, second input threshold, the device displays, prior to detecting the end of the input, the first respective user interface region that includes information corresponding to the user interface object overlaying a portion of the first user interface.

  • Publication number: 20220179492
    Abstract: An electronic device, in response to an input directed to a first user interface displays a second user interface, and in response to continuously detecting a contact on a button while displaying the second user interface, including detecting an increase in a characteristic intensity of the contact above a first intensity threshold, displays a beginning of a transition from the second user interface back to the first user interface. If the contact on the button is part of an input sequence that meets first criteria, the device ceases to display the second user interface and redisplays the first user interface on the display; and if the input sequence meets second criteria, the device reverses the beginning of the transition from the second user interface back to the first user interface, and redisplays the second user interface on the display.

  • Patent number: 11262890
    Abstract: An electronic device provides, to a display, data to present a user interface that includes a plurality of user interface objects, and a current focus on a first user interface object of the plurality of user interface objects. While the display is presenting the user interface, the electronic device receives from the user input device an input that corresponds to a gesture detected on the touch-sensitive surface of the user input device. The gesture includes a movement of a contact across the touch-sensitive surface followed by a lift-off of the contact from the touch-sensitive surface. The electronic device, in accordance with a determination that the gesture satisfies movement criteria, provides, to the display, data to move the current focus in the user interface from the first user interface object to a second user interface object of the plurality of user interface objects.

  • Publication number: 20210373755
    Abstract: An electronic device, while displaying the user interface of an application in a first mode, displays an affordance with a first appearance over a portion of the user interface, and values of display properties of the affordance change in accordance with a change in values of display properties of the portion of the user interface that underlies the affordance, in accordance with a first set of rules. Upon transitioning from displaying the user interface in the first mode to displaying the user interface in a second mode, the affordance is displayed with a second appearance, and values of display properties of the affordance change in accordance with a change in the values of display properties of the portion of the user interface that underlies the affordance, in accordance with a second set of rules that are different from the first set of rules.

  • Patent number: 11188220
    Abstract: An electronic device with a touch-sensitive surface and a display detects a gesture on the touch-sensitive surface, including detecting an initial portion of the gesture while displaying a user interface of a first application, and including concurrently detecting a plurality of contacts on the touch-sensitive surface and detecting movement of the plurality of contacts. In response to detecting the gesture: if the gesture includes two contacts, the device performs an operation in the first application; if the gesture includes more than a threshold number of contacts greater than two and the movement of the contacts during the gesture meets first criteria, the device displays a user interface of a second application; and if the gesture includes more than the threshold number of contacts greater than two and the movement of the contacts meets second criteria, the device a home screen user interface.
