  • Publication number: 20240405900
    Abstract: Waypoints can be automatically created by monitoring network wireless signal strength to help a user of a mobile device in a non-urban location to find a previous location with known network connectivity and make emergency calls. In some embodiments, a backtrack route is displayed on the mobile device to the closest previous location with network connectivity. In some embodiments, for privacy considerations, access to waypoint information stored in a secured storage/database is restricted based on the determination of location state, and backtrack routes are displayed in stages.

  • Patent number: 12008290
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces and techniques for managing and visualizing sound reduction using a computer system. In accordance with some embodiments, the computer system displays an indication that a second noise level is less than a first sound level when the computer system is using a sound reduction device. In accordance with some embodiments, the computer system displays a representation of a noise level at a plurality of different times that indicates a first noise level when a sound reduction effect was in effect, and that indicates a second noise level when the sound reduction effect was not in effect. In accordance with some embodiments, the computer system displays a representation of a sound reduction level for a first time period and receives an input selling a second time period different from the first time period, and in response to the input, the computer system displays a representation of the sound reduction level for the second time period.

  • Publication number: 20230389861
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to sleep tracking. An example method includes: receiving sleep data corresponding to a sleep period, the sleep data including first data corresponding to a first sub-period of the sleep period; and displaying, based on the sleep data, a sleep representation that categorizes the sleep period into sleep stages, wherein displaying the sleep representation includes displaying a first indication corresponding to the first sub-period, wherein the first indication: in accordance with a determination that the first data corresponds exclusively to a first sleep stage, indicates that the first sub-period is a first type of sleep period that corresponds to the first sleep stage; and in accordance with a determination the first data does not exclusively correspond to a single sleep stage, indicates that first sub-period corresponds to at least a second sleep stage and a third sleep stage different from the second sleep stage.
