  • Publication number: 20220147135
    Abstract: A device with a touch-sensitive display and a battery can determine a battery level of the battery, and in accordance with a determination that the battery level is at or below a first threshold value, cause a haptic output and/or enter a low-power mode. While in low-power mode, the device may produce different outputs in response to user inputs than while in a normal power mode. In some embodiments, while in the low-power mode, the device may display only the time and an indication that the device is in a low-power mode.

  • Patent number: 11327640
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices can allow applications to provide complication data to be displayed in display of an electronic device. A client application can create a data object according to a template to efficiently select how the data object is to be displayed. For example, a complication controller on the electronic device can receive new data and determine which template to use. The data object can be sent to a display manager that can identify the selected template and display the data according to the template.

  • Patent number: 11327650
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to context-specific user interfaces. In particular, the present disclosure relates to an electronic device that includes a user interface having a collection of complications. In some embodiments, a watch user interface is displayed on a display, the watch user interface including an analog clock face area and one or more complications having metrics related to data from an application. In some embodiments, one of the complications is replaced with another complication in response to a sequence of one or more inputs that correspond to a request to add a complication to the watch face.

  • Publication number: 20220137759
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to music user interfaces. A device, comprising a display and a rotatable input mechanism, one or more processors, memory, and one or more programs, is described. In response to receiving the first user input, the one or more programs may include instructions for ceasing display of an audio playback user interface and displaying a first user interface of a first set of user interfaces. While displaying the user interface of the first set of user interfaces, the one or more pogroms programs may include instructions for: receiving a second user input representing a directional swipe in a second direction and, in response to receiving the second user input, ceasing display of the first user interface of a first set of user interfaces and displaying the audio playback user interface.

  • Patent number: 11314392
    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: 11307737
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to navigating a collection of media items. In accordance with one embodiment, a device displays a plurality of content items in a first layout, including a first content item at a first aspect ratio and a first size, a second content item, and a third content item. While displaying the plurality of content items in the first layout, the device detects a user input that includes a gesture, wherein the user input corresponds to a request to change a size of the first content item. In response to detecting the user input, and as the gesture progresses, the device changes the size of the first content item from the first size to a second size while concurrently gradually changing an aspect ratio of the first content item from the first aspect ratio to a second aspect ratio.
