Patent number: 10860177Abstract: An application launching user interface that includes a plurality of application icons for launching corresponding applications is displayed. A first touch input is detected on a first application icon of the plurality of application icons. The first application icon is for launching a first application that is associated with one or more corresponding quick actions. If the first touch input meets one or more application-launch criteria which require that the first touch input has ended without having met a first input threshold, the first application is launched in response to the first touch input. If the first touch input meets one or more quick-action-display criteria which require that the first touch input meets the first input threshold, one or more quick action objects associated with the first application are concurrently displayed along with the first application icon without launching the first application, in response to the first touch input.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2019Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Christopher P.

Patent number: 10754542Abstract: A device displays a user interface. The user interface includes a folder icon that corresponds to an application folder containing a plurality of application icons. The plurality of application icons correspond to different applications in a plurality of applications. The plurality of applications include applications that have unread notifications. While displaying the user interface, the device detects an input that includes a contact at a location that corresponds to the folder icon. In response to detecting the input: when the input meets menu-presentation criteria, wherein the menu-presentation criteria require that a characteristic intensity of a contact in a detected input meet an intensity threshold in order for the menu-presentation criteria to be met, the device displays selectable options that, when activated, launch corresponding applications that have unread notifications.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2016Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Sebastian J.

Patent number: 10712826Abstract: An electronic device: while displaying a user interface, detects an input sequence that includes detecting an increase in a characteristic intensity of a contact on a button. In response, the device determines whether the increase is above a first intensity threshold and whether a change in the characteristic intensity proximate to a time when the characteristic intensity increases above the first intensity threshold has a first or a second value for an intensity-change metric. If the increase is above the threshold and the change has the first value, the device performs a first operation that changes the user interface displayed on the display; and generates a first discrete tactile output that corresponds to the increase. If the increase is above the threshold and the change has the second value, the device performs the first operation and generates a second discrete tactile output that corresponds to the increase.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2019Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Imran A.

Patent number: 10698598Abstract: An electronic device displays a control user interface that includes a plurality of control affordances. The device detects an input by a contact at a location on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to a control affordance, of the plurality of control affordances, on the display. In response to detecting the input, when a characteristic intensity of the contact does not meet an intensity threshold, the device toggles a function of a control that corresponds to the control affordance; and when the characteristic intensity of the contact meets the intensity threshold, the device displays modification options for the control that correspond to the control affordance. While displaying the modification options, the device detects a second input that activates a modification option of the modification options. The device modifies the control that corresponds to the control affordance in accordance with the activated modification option.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2016Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: APPLE INC.Inventors: Sebastian J.
