  • Publication number: 20150074615
    Abstract: An electronic device with a display and a fingerprint sensor displays a fingerprint enrollment interface and detects, on the fingerprint sensor, a plurality of finger gestures performed with a finger. The device collects fingerprint information from the plurality of finger gestures performed with the finger. After collecting the fingerprint information, the device determines whether the collected fingerprint information is sufficient to enroll a fingerprint of the finger. When the collected fingerprint information for the finger is sufficient to enroll the fingerprint of the finger, the device enrolls the fingerprint of the finger with the device. When the collected fingerprint information for the finger is not sufficient to enroll the fingerprint of the finger, the device displays a message in the fingerprint enrollment interface prompting a user to perform one or more additional finger gestures on the fingerprint sensor with the finger.

  • Publication number: 20140362090
    Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method that displays a document that includes several glyphs on a touch screen display. The method receives a touch input on the touch screen display to activate a zoom tool enabling location of a position indicator within a set of associated glyphs. The method automatically divides a touch screen region for the set of associated glyphs into sub-regions. Each sub-region is associated with a position indicator location between two subsequent glyphs. A first sub-region associated with a location between first and second glyphs has a same width as a second sub-region associated with a location between the second glyph and a third glyph. The first and third glyphs do not have an equal width. The method correlates movement of the touch input across the touch screen display with the equally-spaced sub-regions in order to move the position indicator between the glyphs in the associated set.

  • Publication number: 20140215635
    Abstract: Systems and method for allowing an identifier value associated with a computing device, and that is delivered to content providers when requesting content, to be altered from that of the unique identifier value associated with the computing device. A computing device will include user interface elements that allow a user to request a new identifier on-demand. In some cases, the user can also configure the computing device to obtain a new identifier value in response to other actions at the computing device or automatically when some type of usage criteria is met. The identifier value is configured to be substantially unique and to be different than a unique identifier associated with the computing device to provide anonymity for the user.

  • Publication number: 20130332755
    Abstract: In one embodiment described herein, a device having an account permitting access to network-based storage, receives a push notification indicating that one or more assets has been shared by another person. In response to the push notification, the device begins downloading the new asset to the device, while starting two timers. When the first timer finishes, the user is notified about the new asset that is available. When the second timer finishes, the download, if still in progress, is interrupted to save power.
