Patent number: 11720239Abstract: While a computer system is within a threshold proximity to a predetermined location that is associated with an event, and in accordance with a determination that a triggering condition is satisfied, where the determination that the triggering condition is satisfied includes a determination that an action associated with the event has occurred, the computer system displays a notification associated with a watch face that includes content related to the event. While the computer system is within a threshold proximity to the predetermined location, and in accordance with a determination that the triggering condition is not satisfied, the computer system forgoes display of the notification. While displaying the notification, the computer system detects an input corresponding to selection of the notification. In response to detecting the input corresponding to selection of the notification, the computer system initiates a process for adding the watch face to the computer system.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2021Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventor: Fredrika Giv
