  • Patent number: 12197659
    Abstract: Button functionalities for user interfaces, e.g., for use with a portable multifunction device, are disclosed. Exemplary button functionalities are described for an electronic device with a display, a rotatable and depressible input mechanism, and/or a button. Different device features may be accessed, depending on whether the rotatable and depressible input mechanism or the button is activated, and further depending on whether the activation represents a single press, a double press, or an extended press on the rotatable and depressible input mechanism or the button.

  • Publication number: 20230409166
    Abstract: A method includes displaying a plurality of application icons for launching application programs, where the application icons occupy respective locations on a hexagonal grid and are arranged in a first configuration. An input that corresponds to a request to move the first application icon from a first location to a respective location, different from the first location, is detected. In response to the input, the display of the plurality of application icons is transitioned from the first configuration to a second configuration.

  • Patent number: 11747956
    Abstract: A method includes displaying a user interface including a plurality of application icons for launching application programs. The plurality of application icons include a first application icon displayed at a first size and a second application icon displayed at a second size, the first and second application icons arranged in a first arrangement. While displaying the user interface, detecting a set of one or more user inputs. In response to the set of one or more user inputs, rearranging the first and second application icons into a second arrangement, different than the first arrangement, where rearranging the first and second application icons includes displaying the first application icon at a third size, greater than the first size, and displaying the second application icon at a fourth size, greater than the second size.
