  • Publication number: 20200293125
    Abstract: An electronic device with a touch-sensitive display displays an electronic calendar and detects a hand-drawn input on the touch-sensitive display. The hand-drawn input extends over a vertical portion, less than all, of an area corresponding to a first day in the calendar. In response to detecting the hand-drawn input, the device displays, over the vertical portion of the first day, one or more graphics that correspond to the hand-drawn input. While displaying the graphics, the device detects an input that corresponds to a request to create an event in the electronic calendar. In response, the device creates, in the first day in the electronic calendar, an event with a start time and an end time, wherein the start time and the end time of the event are in accordance with the first day that the hand drawn input extends over.

  • Publication number: 20200201472
    Abstract: An electronic device displays, on a display, a user interface that includes one or more user interface objects. The device detects a first input on the touch-sensitive surface at a location that corresponds to a first user interface object of the one or more user interface objects. Detecting the first input includes detecting a change in intensity of the first input on the touch-sensitive surface from a first intensity to a second intensity, different from the first intensity. In response to detecting the first input, the device obtains a change in a value of a respective simulated physical property that changes in response to changes in intensity of the first input on the touch-sensitive surface, and updates an appearance of the user interface by progressing a first animation between a first state and a second state based on the change in the value of the respective simulated physical property.

  • Publication number: 20200004410
    Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, a computing device is described. In response to receiving an input corresponding to a first gesture, the device determines an updated location for an object selection indicator within a user interface in accordance with the first gesture. In accordance with a determination that the updated location is within a portion of the user interface that corresponds to a predefined region of the display, the device sends instructions to the display for moving the object selection indicator to the updated location without scrolling the user interface. In accordance with a determination that the updated location is outside of the portion of the user interface, the device sends instructions to the display for moving the object selection indicator to the updated location and scrolling the user interface so as to display the updated location within the predefined region.

  • Publication number: 20190317620
    Abstract: A computing device having a touch-sensitive surface and a display, detects a stylus input on the touch-sensitive surface while displaying a user interface. A first operation is performed in the user interface in accordance with a determination that the stylus input includes movement of the stylus across the touch-sensitive surface while the stylus is detected on the touch-sensitive surface. A second operation different from the first operation is performed in the user interface in accordance with a determination that the stylus input includes rotation of the stylus around an axis of the stylus while the stylus is detected on the touch-sensitive surface. A third operation is performed in the user interface in accordance with a determination that the stylus input includes movement of the stylus across the touch-sensitive surface and rotation of the stylus around an axis of the stylus while the stylus is detected on the touch-sensitive surface.

  • Patent number: 10444963
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to using avatars and image data for enhanced user interactions. In some examples, user status dependent avatars are generated and displayed with a message associated with the user status. In some examples, a device captures image information to scan an object to create a 3D model of the object. The device determines an algorithm for the 3D model based on the capture image information and provides visual feedback on additional image data that is needed for the algorithm to build the 3D model. In some examples, an application's operation on a device is restricted based on whether an authorized user is identified as using the device based on captured image data. In some examples, depth data is used to combine two sets of image data.

  • Patent number: 10416860
    Abstract: A device that is in communication with a display and a touch-sensitive surface sends instructions to the display for displaying, concurrently, an object selection indicator and a portion of a user interface, the user interface having one or more selectable objects. The device sends instructions to the display for ceasing to display the object selection indicator and receives an input that corresponds to a first gesture. When the first gesture meets predefined navigation criteria, which includes a requirement that the first gesture has a shorter duration than a predefined time threshold, the device sends instructions for translating the user interface without redisplaying the object selection indicator.
