  • Patent number: 10599316
    Abstract: Systems and methods for modifying an appearance of a control based on detected changes in underlying content are disclosed. An example method includes: displaying a user interface on the display, the user interface including first content that is displayed at a respective region of the display using a first content-display value for a content-display property. The method also includes: displaying a control overlaying the first content, and the control having an appearance determined based on the first content-display value. The method additionally includes: detecting a change at the respective region that causes second content to be displayed at the respective region using a second content-display value for the content-display property. In response to detecting the change, the method includes: determining an updated appearance for the control based on the second content-display value for the content-display property; and displaying the control with the updated appearance overlaying the second content.

  • Patent number: 10599331
    Abstract: The method for manipulating a cursor is performed at a portable multifunction device with one or more processors, memory, and a touch screen display. Initially, content of an electronic document is displayed on the display, where a cursor is displayed within the electronic document. Two substantially simultaneous touch inputs are then detected on the touch screen display, and preferably anywhere on the touch screen display. In response to detecting the two substantially simultaneous touch inputs, a portion of the content in the document closest to the cursor is selected, and the portion of the content is displayed as selected content.

  • Publication number: 20200057556
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to handwriting on touch sensitive surfaces. In some examples, text suggestions strokes entered on a touch sensitive surface are viewed and selected in response to a rotatable input mechanism. In some examples, text determined from a set of strokes on the touch sensitive surface is revised based on a subsequently entered stroke on the touch sensitive surface. In some examples, a determination is made whether to include a stroke in a set of strokes based a time between the stroke and the previous stroke. In some examples, determining text based on a set of stroke is interrupted to determined revised text based on the set of strokes and a second stroke.

  • Publication number: 20200012419
    Abstract: An electronic device with a touch-sensitive surface and display can execute a messaging application. In the messaging application, swipe options can be displayed for messages and threads. Swipe options correspond to actions that can be taken on the messages or threads. Messages and threads can be associated with notification rules as well as be ignored. Composition interfaces and messages can be displayed simultaneously in the messaging application. The messaging application can display a conversation view of a message thread with a common header that can include subject information and names of participants in the threads. The messaging application allows for adding and removing participants to the conversation view. The messaging application allows for grouping search results from a search of messages using a search term. The grouping can be based on the location of the search term within the messages.

  • Patent number: 10509790
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to electronic message searching. An electronic device receives a request that includes a search term. The device can initiate a search based on the search term to produce a plurality of search results of a plurality of time periods that do not overlap. The device determine whether there are more than a predetermined number of search results for a given time period. If the predetermined number of results is exceeded, the device can display a search result group. If the predetermined number of results is not exceeded, the device can include the search results, corresponding to the given time period, in search results of a different time period. The device can also provide various affordances for narrowing or expanding the scope of the electronic message search.
