  • Publication number: 20250242499
    Abstract: An electronic device configured to operate as a personal companion configured to provide contextual information in response to a command to perform a task, while performing a task, after performing a task, or with respect to the outcome of a task (such as the results of a search query or other primary information). This contextual information may characterize the task, its performance, or its outcome and, in some embodiments, this contextual information may elicit, emulate, or remind a user of an emotion or an emotional gesture.

  • Patent number: 12363219
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to viewing and updating application views. A device receives a user input, the input, when received initiating display of a plurality of application views of a set of application views. The device, in response to receiving the user input, displays the plurality of application views of the set of application views, wherein the set of application views includes preselected application views and an adaptive view that corresponds to a most recently opened application that is not one of the preselected application views.

  • Publication number: 20250199848
    Abstract: A graphics processing system with a data store includes processing units for processing tasks. A check unit forms a signature which is characteristic of an output from processing a task on a processing unit, and a fault detection unit compares signatures formed at the check unit. Each task is processed first and second times at the processing units to generate first and second processed outputs. The graphics processing system write outs the first processed output to the data store, reads back the first processed output from the data store and forms at the check unit a first signature characteristic of the first processed output as read back from the data store; forms at the check unit a second signature characteristic of the second processed output, compares the first and second signatures at the fault detection unit, and raises a fault signal if the signatures do not match.

  • Publication number: 20250174142
    Abstract: Exercise-based watch faces and complications for use with a portable multifunction device are disclosed. The methods described herein for exercise-based watch faces and complications provide indications of time and affordances representing applications (e.g., a workout application or a weather application). In response to detecting a user input corresponding to a selection of the affordance (e.g., representing a workout application), a workout routine can optionally be begun. Further disclosed are non-transitory computer-readable storage media, systems, and devices configured to perform the methods described herein, as well as electronic devices related thereto.

  • Publication number: 20250156060
    Abstract: Reduced-size user interfaces for providing weather information are disclosed. At an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display, indications of a location and a temperature at the location may be displayed. In some examples, a user may provide input through a touch on the touch-sensitive display and/or through a rotation of a rotatable input mechanism to display additional weather information, such as weather information for another location, another temperature, another time, and so forth. In some examples, the device may obtain data representing an upcoming activity, determine whether the activity is to begin within a threshold amount of time, and display weather information based on the upcoming activity. In some examples, the device may display an affordance at a position to indicate the time of day for which a weather condition is provided.
