  • Patent number: 10884617
    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: 20200356250
    Abstract: A method includes while displaying a drawing user interface, detecting an object insertion input and, in response, inserting a respective object in the drawing user interface. The method includes, while displaying the respective object, detecting a pixel erase input, and, in response, ceasing to display a first portion of the respective object without ceasing to display second and third portions of the respective object. The method includes detecting an object erase input directed to a portion of the respective object, and, in response, when the object erase input is directed to the second portion and the second portion is not connected to the third portion, ceasing to display the second portion, but not the third portion; and when the object erase input is directed to the third portion and the third portion is not connected to the second portion, ceasing to display the third portion, but not the second portion.

  • Publication number: 20200326841
    Abstract: A method includes displaying, via a display device, first content with respect to which a first plurality of editing operations have been performed. The method further includes while displaying the first content, detecting, on the touch-sensitive surface, a first multi-finger gesture. The method further includes in response to detecting the first multi-finger gesture: in accordance with a determination that the first multi-finger gesture includes more than a first predetermined amount of movement in a first direction, undoing one of the first plurality of editing operations; and in accordance with a determination that the first multi-finger gesture includes more than a first predetermined amount of movement in a second direction that is different from the first direction, redoing one of the first plurality of editing operations.

  • Patent number: 10739911
    Abstract: A method of emulating an input device. The method receives a set of data associated with a touch input. The set of data includes a set of coordinates of each data point, the force applied at each data point, and the time the data for each data point is received. The method adds several data points to the first set of data points to create a second set of data points. For each data point in the second set of data points, the method calculates a set of parameters based on the set of data associated with the data point. The method provides a subset of the calculated parameters and the data associated with a subset of the second set of data to an application to emulate the input device.

  • Patent number: 10475253
    Abstract: A computer system having a display generation component, one or more input devices, one or more cameras, and one or more attitude sensors receives a request to display an augmented reality view of a physical environment in a first user interface region that includes a representation of a field of view of the one or more cameras. In response to receiving the request, in accordance with a determination that calibration criteria are not met, a calibration user interface object is displayed. In response to detecting a change in attitude of the one or more cameras in the physical environment, at least one display parameter of the calibration user interface object is adjusted in accordance with the detected change. In response to detecting that the calibration criteria are met, the calibration user interface object ceases to be displayed.
