  • Patent number: 11941223
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to retrieving and displaying contextually-relevant media content. In some embodiments, a device receives a request to display contextually-relevant media and, in response, displays a representation of a collection of media items relevant to a context of the device. In some embodiments, a device displays a visual media item of a sequence of items and, in response to receiving a swipe gesture, displays a detail user interface comprising related content for the media item. In some embodiments, a device, while displaying a first detail user interface, displays an affordance corresponding to a plurality of individuals identified as having attended a first event, that when selected, causes display of visual media corresponding to a plurality of events attended by the individuals. In some embodiments, a device, in response to user input, obtains an automatically-generated collection of visual media and displays a corresponding affordance.

  • Patent number: 11921978
    Abstract: An electronic device having a display and a touch-sensitive surface displays a mediate item representation corresponding to a sequence of images in a first display mode of user-selectable display modes, where the media item is part of a collection of ordered media items such that prior media item(s) precede the first media item and subsequent media item(s) follow the first media item in the order. In response to detecting touch input including movement in a direction, the device: upon determining that a subsequent media item corresponding to a second sequence of images is designated as being displayed in the first display mode, displays the subsequent media item in the first display mode, and upon determining that the subsequent media item is designated as being displayed in a second display mode different from the first display mode, displays the subsequent media item in the second display mode.

  • Patent number: 11487402
    Abstract: An electronic device having a display and a touch-sensitive surface displays, in a user interface, image(s) from a media item corresponding to a sequence of images in a display mode. In response to an input, the device displays an editing user interface that changes which images are included in the media item when the media item is displayed in the display mode, including concurrently displaying: an area display images in the sequence of images; another distinct area including representations of images in the sequence of images, a user-adjustable begin-trim affordance indicating a first boundary for playback through the sequence of images, and a user-adjustable end-trim affordance indicating a second boundary for playback through the sequence of images. The device further adjusts the media item, exits the editing user interface in response to an input, and displays the edited media item in the display mode in the user interface.

  • Patent number: 11474665
    Abstract: An approach for using multiple menus with a graphical user interface is disclosed. A multiple menu comprises a menu panel with two or more selection regions, each of which is associated with a base menu. A user requests the menu panel without selecting a menu object displayed on a display unit, such as by right-clicking. The menu panel is displayed along with one base menu, and other base menus are displayed by the user moving the cursor to another selection region. The user selects a menu item from a base menu to cause the application to execute the function associated with the menu item. The selection regions of the menu panel do not include information describing the content of the associated base menus. By arranging the base menus around the menu panel, cursor movement is minimized to improve user efficiency in using the application.

  • Patent number: 11240424
    Abstract: An electronic device, while in a first media acquisition mode, captures media and performs scene recognition. If the scene recognition meets first criteria, the media is displayed as a sequence of images acquired by the camera in temporal proximity to a single activation of a shutter button of the device at the first time. The sequence of images includes a plurality of images acquired by the camera prior to detecting activation of the shutter button at the first time, a representative image that represents the sequence of images and was acquired by the camera after one or more other images in the sequence of images, and a plurality of images acquired by the camera after acquiring the representative image. If the scene recognition does not meet the first criteria, the media is displayed as a single image in temporal proximity to the activation of the shutter button.

  • Patent number: 10200598
    Abstract: An electronic device displays an image in a sequence of images. The sequence of images includes a representative image and images acquired by the camera before and after acquiring the representative image. While displaying the image, the device detects a first input and, in response, displays a user interface for trimming the sequence of images. The user interface includes: representations of images in the sequence of images; a begin-trim icon that delimits a beginning image in the subset of the sequence of images; and an end-trim icon that delimits an ending image in the subset of the sequence of images. The begin-trim and end-trim icons are located at positions that are automatically selected by the device. The device detects a second input and, in response, trims the sequence of images to the subset of the sequence of images based on the positions of the begin-trim and the end-trim icons.
