  • Patent number: 12625600
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a device displays functionality information in response to receiving an indication of a first input for which a contact meets functionality display criteria. In some embodiments, a device generates a user interface that includes a navigation bar including images from different positions in a respective content item, and a representation of an adjacent content item. In some embodiments, a device moves a selection-indicator in a user interface by a predefined amount in response to receiving an indication of a first input that meets unitary movement criteria. In some embodiments, a device interprets movement of a contact of an input based at least in part on a grip of a user. In some embodiments, a device displays a plurality of character selection options when a text entry field is not tolerant of character ambiguity and a first input corresponds to a plurality of candidate characters.

  • Patent number: 12586054
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates selecting an appropriate communication radio mode based on criteria. In one example process, the device detects a fingerprint using the integrated biometric sensor and, in accordance with a determination that the fingerprint is consistent with an enrolled fingerprint and a determination that a set of one or more criteria is met, transitions to a second short-range communication radio mode different from a first short-range communication radio mode. In another example process, the device detects a fingerprint using the integrated biometric sensor and, in accordance with a determination that the fingerprint is consistent with the enrolled fingerprint and a determination that the set of one or more criteria is not met, the device is unlocked.
