  • Patent number: 12348663
    Abstract: A portable electronic device with a touch screen display displays an incoming message from a party to a user of the device while the device is locked. The device responds to detecting a user request to view the incoming message by immediately displaying a set of messages between the user and the party in a chronological order. While the device is unlocked, if an incoming message is longer than a predefined length the device displays a portion of the incoming message, a view icon, and a long-message indicia. Alternately, if the incoming message is equal to or less than the predefined length, the device displays the entire incoming message and a reply icon. In response to user selection of either the view icon or the reply icon, the device immediately displays a set of messages between the user of the device and the party in a chronological order.

  • Patent number: 12342050
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a media content user interface. A media content provider includes storage for storing and serving video content to subscribers. The media content provider records and or otherwise stores video content from around the world. Subscribers are provided a user interface to the system that includes a channel bar. The channel bar is dynamically scoped responsive to interactions of a viewer with the system. Selectable elements within the channel bar provide direct access to related content regarding video content, such as television series information and cast information. In addition, the channel bar is operable in multiple modes. An EPG mode displays live video for multiple channels simultaneously. Themed modes permit channel bars that display content according to various themes which may be defined by a viewer, the provider, or both.

  • Publication number: 20250202961
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to real-time communication user interfaces. A computer system displays a user interface corresponding to a real-time communication application that includes concurrently displaying a first user interface object corresponding to a first real-time communication session between a user of the computer system, where the first real-time communication session occurred prior to a current time, and a second user and a second user interface object corresponding to a second real-time communication session between the user of the computer system and a third user, where the second real-time communication session is scheduled to occur at a time after the current time. In response to receiving user input corresponding to a respective user interface object of the user interface, the computer system initiates a real-time communication session.
