  • Patent number: 11429145
    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: 20220239842
    Abstract: While displaying playback of a first portion of a video in a video playback region, a device receives a request to add a first annotation to the video playback. In response to receiving the request, the device pauses playback of the video at a first position in the video and displays a still image that corresponds to the first, paused position of the video. While displaying the still image, the device receives the first annotation on a first portion of a physical environment captured in the still image. After receiving the first annotation, the device displays, in the video playback region, a second portion of the video that corresponds to a second position in the video, where the first portion of the physical environment is captured in the second portion of the video and the first annotation is displayed in the second portion of the video.

  • Publication number: 20220147173
    Abstract: An electronic device, while displaying a first user interface, detects an input for an input object, detects that first hover proximity criteria are met by the input object, and displays first visual feedback. While displaying the first visual feedback, the device detects a change in a current value of a hover proximity parameter of the input object and that second hover proximity criteria are met by the input object after the change. In response to detecting that the second hover proximity criteria are met, the device displays second visual feedback, distinct from the first visual feedback.

  • Patent number: 11243627
    Abstract: An electronic device with a touch-sensitive surface, a display, one or more first sensors to detect proximity of an input object above the touch-sensitive surface and one or more second sensors to detect intensity of contact displays a user interface object at a first location. While displaying the user interface object, the device detects a first portion of an input at the first location of the user interface object while the input object meets hover criteria. In response, the device dynamically changes an appearance of the user interface object in accordance with a current hover proximity parameter of the input object. Afterwards, the device detects a second portion of the input at an initial contact location that corresponds to the first location; and, in response, dynamically changes the appearance of the user interface object in accordance with a current intensity of a contact by the input object.

  • Publication number: 20220011932
    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.
