  • Patent number: 11914419
    Abstract: An example method is performed at a device with a display and a biometric sensor. While the device is in a locked state, the method includes displaying a log-in user interface that is associated with logging in to a first and second user account. While displaying the log-in user interface, the method includes, receiving biometric information, and in response to receiving the biometric information: when the biometric information is consistent with biometric information for the first user account and the first user account does not have an active session, displaying a prompt to input a log-in credential for the first user account; and when the biometric information is consistent with biometric information for the second user account and the second user account does not have an active session on the device, displaying a prompt to input a log-in credential for the second user account.

  • Publication number: 20230393700
    Abstract: A method is performed at a computer system that is in communication with a display generation component and one or more input devices. A first set of one or more windows in an interactive mode, and a representation of a second set of one or more windows in a non-interactive mode are concurrently displayed. While a window is displayed in an interactive mode, the content of the window can be manipulated in response to user inputs. While a representation of a window is displayed in a non-interactive mode, the content of the window is not available to be manipulated in response to user inputs. An input selecting the representation of the second set of one or more windows is detected. In response to detecting the input, the first set of one or more windows in the interactive mode are ceased to be displayed.

  • Publication number: 20230101528
    Abstract: A request to display a user interface that includes a menu along a first edge of a user interface that corresponds to a first edge of a display region is received. The menu includes multiple menu objects, including a first and a second menu object. In response to receiving the request, and if the display generation component is not capable of displaying content in a respective portion of the first edge of the display region, the first menu object is displayed on a first side and the second menu object is displayed on a second side of the respective portion, such that the respective portion is between the first menu object and the second menu object met. And, if the display generation component is capable of displaying content in the respective portion, the first and second menu objects are displayed adjacent to one another in the display region.

  • Patent number: 11574041
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to managing access to credentials. In some examples, an electronic device authorizes release of credentials for use in an operation for which authorization is required. In some examples, an electronic device causes display of one or more steps to be taken to enable an input device for user input. In some examples, an electronic device disambiguates between commands to change the account that is actively logged-in on the device and commands to cause credentials to be released from the secure element.

  • Publication number: 20230019329
    Abstract: A device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface displays a user interface including an object. While displaying the user interface, the device detects a first and a second portion of an input, where the first portion includes contact(s) at a location corresponding to the object and the second portion includes movement of the contact(s). In response: upon determining that the second portion was detected shortly after detecting the contact(s): when the first input has a first predefined number of contacts, the device drags the user interface object or a representation; and when the first input has a second predefined number of contacts, the device forgoes the dragging. Further in response, upon determining that the second portion was detected after the contact(s) had been detected at the location for at least the first threshold amount of time, the device drags the user interface object or the representation thereof.

  • Publication number: 20220391158
    Abstract: A method is performed at a first computer system having a first display generation component in communication a second computer system having a second display generation component. The method includes, in response to an input, moving a representation of content across a first display region provided by the first display generation component to a second display region provided by the second display generation component when the display generation components are communication in a first mode or a second mode. The method includes moving an application window across the first display region to the second display region provided when the display generation components are communication in the first mode and preventing the moving across the first display region to the second display region when the display generation components are in communication in the second mode.

  • Publication number: 20220391456
    Abstract: The method for web browsing on a portable device displays a web-browser user interface that includes a currently displayed webpage and an associated tab in a tab row. The currently displayed webpage forms part of a group of webpages. In response to receiving a swipe gesture, it is then determined that the swipe gesture occurs at a location corresponding to the associated tab in the tab row. In response to the swipe gesture occurs at a location corresponding to the associated tab, the currently displayed webpage is no longer displayed, and the tab row is scrolled to display an additional webpage and its associated additional tab. If, however, the swipe gesture occurs at a location on the currently displayed webpage, a webpage navigation function is performed.

  • Patent number: 11449222
    Abstract: System and method of moving selected content is disclosed. In response to detecting a first portion of an input that activates a move operation for selected first content, a copy of at least a portion of the first content is displayed in a container object, and the container object is moved from a first placement location to a second placement location relative to a characteristic location of the contact(s) on the touch-screen display. After the movement from the first placement location to the second placement location relative to the characteristic location of the one or more contacts, the container object moves in accordance with movement of the one or more contacts while the container object is maintained at the second placement location relative to the characteristic location of the one or more contacts as the one or more contacts move across the touch-screen display.
