Abstract: A method of gradually revealing a hidden user-interface feature in accordance with performance of a self-care activity is disclosed. The method includes, while a user of an electronic device has performed less than a first threshold amount of a self-care activity, displaying a user interface without displaying a hidden user-interface feature. In accordance with a determination that the user has performed more than the first threshold amount of the self-care activity, the method also includes revealing a first portion of the hidden user-interface feature. In accordance with a determination that the user has performed more than a second threshold amount of the self-care activity, the second threshold amount being greater than the first threshold amount, the method additionally includes: continuing to display the first portion of the hidden user-interface feature, and revealing a second portion of the hidden user-interface feature within the user interface.

Abstract: An implementation of portable playback device power management involves launching a power coordinator background process, the power coordinator background process having multiple client programs and establishing respective inter-process communication (IPC) mechanisms between the multiple client programs and the power coordinator background process. The implementation further involves receiving, via the established IPC mechanisms from the multiple client programs, messages indicating that the respective client program is ready to suspend, and determining that each client program of the multiple client programs is ready to suspend. The implementation further includes sending instructions to the operating system to kernel suspend. While in kernel suspend, the playback device detects a particular trigger to kernel resume and in response, performs a kernel resume.

Abstract: Example techniques related to portable playback device power management. An example implementation includes a main SoC comprising main processor(s), an auxiliary processor, and a kernel that executes on the one or more main processor cores. During kernel suspend of the kernel, a power management microcontroller monitors a battery for conditions corresponding to respective wake-on-battery triggers, detects that the monitored conditions correspond to a particular wake-on-battery trigger; and in response, sends, to the auxiliary processor, an interrupt corresponding to a particular wake-on-battery trigger, wherein the interrupt causes the auxiliary processor core to enable the main processor(s) and resume the kernel from kernel suspend. After resuming from kernel suspend, the kernel adds a first kernel resume source event indicating the particular wake-on-battery trigger to a power event queue.
