  • Patent number: 11435897
    Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic device displays a playback user interface that is configured to playback content on the electronic device. While displaying the playback user interface that is configured to playback the content on the electronic device, the electronic device displays a scrubber bar for navigating through the content, wherein the scrubber bar includes: a visual indication of a current playback position within the content; and one or more playback time indications that include time values based on the current playback position within the content. A respective playback time indication of the one or more playback time indications is based on a time of day at the electronic device, and an amount of time that it will take to play the content from the current playback position to an end of the content at a respective content playback speed.

  • Publication number: 20220187961
    Abstract: An electronic device provides, to a display, data to present a user interface that includes a plurality of user interface objects, and a current focus on a first user interface object. While the display is presenting the user interface, the electronic device receives an input that corresponds to a movement of a contact across on a touch-sensitive surface. The electronic device, in response to receiving the input and in accordance with a determination that a first axis is a dominant axis, moves the current focus along the first axis by a first amount and along the second axis by a second amount. The amount of movement of the current focus along the second axis is reduced to a first non-zero amount by a scaling factor that is based on one or more inputs received prior to receiving the input.

  • Patent number: 11314402
    Abstract: In some implementations, a user may zoom in on a particular asset to show an all assets view that displays larger assets in a grid, and zoom out to show multiple smaller assets in another grid at different zoom levels while maintaining focus on the particular asset. Particularly, a GUI may display cells of a grid at a first zoom level, receive zoom input to transition to a second zoom level, and display cells of a different size in a second grid while maintaining focus on and positioning of the particular asset across the zoom levels.

  • Patent number: 11307737
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to navigating a collection of media items. In accordance with one embodiment, a device displays a plurality of content items in a first layout, including a first content item at a first aspect ratio and a first size, a second content item, and a third content item. While displaying the plurality of content items in the first layout, the device detects a user input that includes a gesture, wherein the user input corresponds to a request to change a size of the first content item. In response to detecting the user input, and as the gesture progresses, the device changes the size of the first content item from the first size to a second size while concurrently gradually changing an aspect ratio of the first content item from the first aspect ratio to a second aspect ratio.
