  • Publication number: 20250080830
    Abstract: A computer system displays virtual objects overlaid on a view of a physical environment as a virtual effect. The computer system displays respective animated movements of the virtual objects over the view of the physical environment, wherein the respective animated movements are constrained in accordance with a direction of simulated gravity associated with the view of the physical environment. If current positions of virtual objects during the respective animated movement of the virtual objects corresponds to different surfaces at different heights detected in the view of the physical environment, the computer constrains the respective animated movements of the virtual objects in accordance with the different surfaces detected in the view of the physical environment.

  • Publication number: 20250044916
    Abstract: A first electronic device establishes a wireless connection with a second electronic device that controls display of a user interface on a second display. The first device displays a first user interface that includes a first representation of a media item. While displaying the first user interface, the first electronic device detects a first user input. In response to detecting the first user input, the first electronic device transmits to the second electronic device instructions enabling display of at least a portion of the media item on substantially the entire second display controlled by the second electronic device. While the at least the portion of the media item is displayed on the second electronic device, the first electronic device displays additional information different from but related to the at least the portion of the media item that is displayed on the second electronic device.

  • Patent number: 12045451
    Abstract: An electronic device, with a touch-sensitive surface, displays a respective control, which is associated with respective contact intensity criteria, used to determine whether or not a function associated with the respective control will be performed. The device detects a gesture on the touch-sensitive surface, corresponding to an interaction with the respective control. In accordance with a determination that the gesture does not include a contact that meets the respective contact intensity criteria, the device changes the appearance of the respective control to indicate progress toward meeting the respective contact intensity criteria that is used to determine whether or not a function associated with the respective control will be performed. In response to detecting activation of the control, the device performs the function associated with the respective control in accordance with the detected gesture including a contact that meets the respective contact intensity criteria.

  • Publication number: 20240192792
    Abstract: An electronic device with a display and sensor(s) to detect location of an input object displays a first user interface object. The device detects an input object at a first hover location that meets first hover proximity criteria with respect to the first user interface object. After detecting the input object at the first hover location, the device detects movement of the input object away from the first hover location. In response to detecting movement of the input object away from the first hover location: in accordance with a determination that the input object meets first augmented hover proximity criteria, the device performs a first operation associated with the movement of the input object; and in accordance with a determination that the input object does not meet the first augmented hover proximity criteria, the device forgoes performing the first operation.

  • Patent number: 12001670
    Abstract: A device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface displays a user interface including an object. While displaying the user interface, the device detects a first and a second portion of an input, where the first portion includes contact(s) at a location corresponding to the object and the second portion includes movement of the contact(s). In response: upon determining that the second portion was detected shortly after detecting the contact(s): when the first input has a first predefined number of contacts, the device drags the user interface object or a representation; and when the first input has a second predefined number of contacts, the device forgoes the dragging. Further in response, upon determining that the second portion was detected after the contact(s) had been detected at the location for at least the first threshold amount of time, the device drags the user interface object or the representation thereof.

  • Publication number: 20240143024
    Abstract: An example method is performed at a device with a display and a biometric sensor. While the device is in a locked state, the method includes displaying a log-in user interface that is associated with logging in to a first and second user account. While displaying the log-in user interface, the method includes, receiving biometric information, and in response to receiving the biometric information: when the biometric information is consistent with biometric information for the first user account and the first user account does not have an active session, displaying a prompt to input a log-in credential for the first user account; and when the biometric information is consistent with biometric information for the second user account and the second user account does not have an active session on the device, displaying a prompt to input a log-in credential for the second user account.

  • Publication number: 20240143162
    Abstract: An electronic device responds to a user input that includes a movement detected while displaying a user interface object at a first position relative to a first user interface of a first application. If the user input is directed to a location that corresponds to the first user interface object at a start of the movement, the electronic device moves a respective representation of the first user interface in accordance with the movement, relative to a background located behind the first user interface and remaining visible during the movement. If the user input is directed to a portion of the first user interface that is away from the location that corresponds the first user interface object, at the start of the movement, the electronic device performs an operation within the first user interface without moving the respective representation of the first user interface relative to the background.

  • Patent number: 11947751
    Abstract: An electronic device that is in communication with a display generation component, and sensor(s) to detect location of an input object displays a content selection object within selectable content, wherein the content selection object includes a first edge and a second edge. The device detects an input by the input object, including detecting the input object at a first hover location that corresponds to the first edge of the content selection object. In response to detecting the first portion of the input: in accordance with a determination that the first portion of the input meets first criteria that require the input object meets proximity criteria with respect to the content selection object, the device changes an appearance of the first edge relative to the second edge of the content selection object to indicate that the first edge will be selected for movement when the input object meets second criteria.

  • Patent number: 11818455
    Abstract: A first device sends a request to a second device to initiate a shared annotation session. In response to receiving acceptance of the request, a first prompt to move the first device toward the second device is displayed. In accordance with a determination that connection criteria for the first device and the second device are met, a representation of a field of view of the camera(s) of the first device is displayed in the shared annotation session with the second device. During the shared annotation session, one or more annotations are displayed via the first display generation component and one or more second virtual annotations corresponding to annotation input directed to the respective location in the physical environment by the second device is displayed via the first display generation component, provided that the respective location is included in the field of view of the first set of cameras.
