Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to techniques and interfaces for managing media playback devices. In some embodiments, the techniques include varying a feedback based on movement of a computer system toward or away from an external device. In some embodiments, the techniques include displaying an interface that includes controls for controlling media playback on an external device when the computer system and the external device are playing media. In some embodiments, the techniques include performing operations at a computer system in response to an input having a size that is less than or greater than a size threshold.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed defining haptic patterns that include both haptic events and audio events, and optionally include video or animation. The haptic patterns can be called from an application or included as an attachment to a message and played on an electronic device that receives the message. A haptics application programming interface has a haptic experience mapping functionality that generates a same, or similar, haptic experience on different manufacturers or models of electronic devices having different haptic hardware. Haptic patterns can include synchronized haptic and audio events. Haptic event attributes include start time, sharpness, and intensity. Sharpness and/or intensity can be controlled via a parameter envelope for a single event, or for multiple events in a haptic pattern. Sharpness indicates a quality of the tactile sensation of a haptic event, from smooth or rounded, to sharp or precise.

Abstract: A computing device receives an input that corresponds to a first part of a multi-part operation performed by an application executing on the computing device. In response to receiving the input corresponding to the first part of the multi-part operation, the computing device initiates an ongoing haptic output sequence. After initiating the ongoing haptic output sequence, the computing device receives an input that corresponds to a second part of the multi-part operation. In response to receiving the input corresponding to the second part of the multi-part operation, the computing device terminates the ongoing haptic output sequence.

Abstract: An electronic device displays a user interface that includes a first adjustable control and a second adjustable control and detects movement of a first contact across a touch-sensitive surface in a drag gesture. In accordance with a determination that the drag gesture is performed while a focus selector is at a location that corresponds to the first adjustable control: the device outputs a first plurality of tactile outputs that has a first distribution of tactile outputs. In accordance with a determination that the drag gesture is performed while the focus selector is at a location that corresponds to the second adjustable control, the device outputs a second plurality of tactile outputs. The second plurality of tactile outputs has a second distribution of tactile outputs that is different from the first distribution of tactile outputs.

Abstract: An electronic device displays a first user interface that includes a plurality of icons of a first type and at least one icon of a second type. While a focus selector is on a first icon of the first type, the device detects movement of a contact in a drag gesture, and, in response, moves the first icon across the display. In accordance with a determination that the first icon moves over one or more other icons of the first type during the drag gesture, the device outputs one or more tactile outputs of a first type. In accordance with a determination that the drag gesture moves the first icon over an icon of the second type at the end of the drag gesture, the device displays a second user interface that corresponds to the icon of the second type and outputs a tactile output of a second type.

Abstract: An electronic device may include touch input components and associated haptic output components. The control circuitry may provide haptic output in response to touch input on the touch input components and may send wireless signals to the external electronic device based on the touch input. The haptic output components may provide local and global haptic output. Local haptic output may be used to guide a user to the location of the electronic device or to provide a button click sensation to the user in response to touch input. Global haptic output may be used to notify the user that the electronic device is aligned towards the external electronic device and is ready to receive user input to control or communicate with the external electronic device. Control circuitry may switch a haptic output component into an inactive mode to inform the user that a touch input component is inactive.

Abstract: An electronic device displaying a user interface on a display. While displaying the user interface on the display and while one or more tactile output generators of the electronic device are in a low-power state, the electronic device detects a first user interaction via the touch-sensitive surface. In response to detecting the first user interaction, the electronic device sets the one or more tactile output generators to a low-latency state. After setting the one or more tactile output generators to the low-latency state, the electronic device detects a second user interaction that is continuation of a touch input, on the touch sensitive surface, that includes the first user interaction. In response to detecting the second user interaction, the electronic device generates a tactile output that corresponds to the second user interaction.

Abstract: An electronic device, in response to an input directed to a first user interface displays a second user interface, and in response to continuously detecting a contact on a button while displaying the second user interface, including detecting an increase in a characteristic intensity of the contact above a first intensity threshold, displays a beginning of a transition from the second user interface back to the first user interface. If the contact on the button is part of an input sequence that meets first criteria, the device ceases to display the second user interface and redisplays the first user interface on the display; and if the input sequence meets second criteria, the device reverses the beginning of the transition from the second user interface back to the first user interface, and redisplays the second user interface on the display.
