  • Publication number: 20240028133
    Abstract: An electronic device with a display and an embedded fingerprint sensor displays a lock screen on the display. While displaying the lock screen, the electronic device detects a first touch input on the embedded fingerprint sensor. In response to detecting the first touch input on the embedded fingerprint sensor: the electronic device, in accordance with a determination that first timing criteria are met, displays content of a plurality of messages; and the electronic device, in accordance with a determination that second timing criteria, different from the first timing criteria are met, ceases to display the lock screen and displaying a home screen use interface for the electronic device with a plurality of application icons.

  • Patent number: 10996766
    Abstract: While a device is in an unlocked state, a sequence of one or more activations of a button of the device are detected, where a first activation of the button is detected while a respective application user interface is displayed on the display. In response to detecting the sequence of one or more activations of the button: if the sequence of activations of the button meet first criteria, display of the respective application user interface is replaced with display of a different user interface while maintaining the device in the unlocked state; and if the sequence of activations of the button meet second criteria, the device switches from the unlocked state to a locked state, where the first criteria are differentiated from the second criteria based on a number and/or timing of activations of button in the sequence of activations of the button.

  • Patent number: 10365814
    Abstract: An electronic device displays a home screen and detects a first input on a first application launch icon; in response to detecting the first input, replaces the home screen with a first user interface; while displaying the first user interface, detects a second input by a second contact that includes movement across the display in a first direction; and in response to detecting the second input: if the second input meets dock-display criteria (e.g., includes movement of the second contact that is above a first movement threshold), displays a user interface object overlaid on a portion of the first user interface; and in accordance with a determination that the second input meets home-display criteria (e.g., includes movement of the second contact that is above a second movement threshold that is greater than the first movement threshold), replaces display of the first user interface with display of the home screen.
