  • Publication number: 20230315260
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to exploring a geographic region that is displayed in computer user interfaces. In some embodiments, a method includes at an electronic device with a display and one or more input devices, displaying a map of a geographic region on the display and detecting a first user input to select a starting location on the map. After detecting the first user input, the method includes detecting a second user input to select a first direction of navigation from the starting location. In response to detecting the second user input, the method includes determining a path on the map that traverses in the first direction of navigation and connects the starting location to an ending location, and providing audio that includes traversal information about traversing along the path in the geographic region in the first direction of navigation and from the starting location to the ending location.

  • Patent number: 10540071
    Abstract: An electronic device displays a first user interface including user interface objects. While displaying the first user interface, the device detects a first input on the touch-sensitive surface. In response, if the first input is detected at a location on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to a first user interface object of the first user interface and that the first input satisfies first input intensity criteria, the device performs a first operation, including displaying a zoomed-in view of at least a first portion of the first user interface; and, if the first input is detected at a location on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to the first user interface object of the first user interface and that the first input does not satisfy first input intensity criteria, the device performs a second operation that is distinct from the first operation.

  • Patent number: 10275436
    Abstract: An electronic device with a display showing a user interface (UI) automatically adjusts the zoom level of a magnification region. The electronic device receives a request to magnify at least a portion of the display showing the UI. The electronic device determines the context that the electronic device was operating in at the time of the magnification request. The context is comprised of display parameters, environmental parameters, or both. The electronic device displays the UI at a zoom level determined based on user preferences. Upon detecting a text input condition, the device resizes and optionally moves the magnification region so that the resized magnification region does not overlap with the newly displayed composition interface window. The device uses an auto-snap feature when the content within the magnification region displays a second boundary upon scrolling the content within the magnification region from a first boundary opposite the second one.
