  • Devices, Methods, and Graphical User Interfaces for Dynamically Adjusting Presentation of Audio Outputs
    Publication number: 20230080470
    Abstract: An electronic device detects a first input directed to a first affordance in a set of one or more affordances displayed on a display. In response to detecting the first input, the electronic device initiates presentation of a first audio output having a first audio profile. The electronic device later detects a second input directed to a second affordance in the set. In response to detecting the second input and if audio alteration criteria are satisfied, the electronic device causes: (i) presentation of altered first audio output having an altered audio profile and (ii) presentation of a second audio output having a second audio profile. In response to detecting the second input and if the audio alteration criteria are not satisfied, the electronic device causes: (i) continued presentation of the first audio output and (ii) presentation of a third audio output having a third audio profile.

  • Device, method, and graphical user interface for manipulating framed graphical objects
    Patent number: 9996231
    Abstract: An electronic device with a touch-sensitive surface, a display, and one or more sensors to detect intensity of contacts with the touch-sensitive surface displays a graphical object inside of a frame on the display, and detects a gesture. Detecting the gesture includes: detecting a contact on the touch-sensitive surface while a focus selector is over the graphical object, and detecting movement of the contact across the touch-sensitive surface. In response to detecting the gesture: in accordance with a determination that the contact meets predefined intensity criteria, the device removes the graphical object from the frame; and in accordance with a determination that the contact does not meet the predefined intensity criteria, the device adjusts an appearance of the graphical object inside of the frame.

  • Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Determining Whether to Scroll or Select Content
    Publication number: 20160004430
    Abstract: An electronic device with a display, a touch-sensitive surface and one or more intensity sensors displays content. While a focus selector is over the content, the device detects a gesture on the touch-sensitive surface, the gesture including a first contact on the touch-sensitive surface and movement of the first contact across the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to movement of the focus selector on the display. In response to detecting the gesture, when the contact has an intensity below a selection intensity threshold, the device scrolls the content on the display in accordance with the movement of the focus selector on the display without selecting the content. In response to detecting the gesture, when the contact has an intensity above the selection intensity threshold, the device selects at least a portion of the content in accordance with the movement of the focus selector over the content.

  • Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Providing Audiovisual Feedback
    Publication number: 20170068511
    Abstract: An electronic device provides data to present a user interface with a plurality of user interface objects. A current focus is on a first user interface object of the plurality of user interface objects. The device receives an input. In response, the device provides data to move the current focus from the first user interface object to a second user interface object based on a direction and/or magnitude of the input, and provides sound information to provide a sound output concurrently with the movement of the current focus from the first user interface object to the second user interface object. A pitch of the sound output is based on a size of the first user interface object, a type of the first user interface object, a size of the second user interface object, and/or a type of the second user interface object.

    Abstract: An electronic device: displays a plurality of objects, where two or more of the objects are grouped together in a group of objects and one or more other objects of the plurality of objects are not in the group; detects a first gesture that includes a first press input at a location that corresponds to a respective object in the group. in response to detecting the first gesture, the device selects one or more of the plurality of objects as a set of selected objects. If the first press input had a maximum intensity below a first intensity threshold, the set includes the objects in the group and excludes the other objects that are not in the group. If the first press input had an intensity above the first intensity threshold, the set includes the respective object and excludes one or more objects in the group and the other objects that are not in the group.

  • Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Providing Audiovisual Feedback
    Publication number: 20170068430
    Abstract: An electronic device provides data to present a user interface with a plurality of user interface objects, including a control user interface object at a first location. The control user interface object is configured to control a parameter. The device receives an input that corresponds to an interaction with the control user interface object. While receiving the input that corresponds to the interaction with the control user interface object, the device provides data to move the control user interface object, in accordance with the input, from the first location to a second location. The device also provides first sound information to provide a sound output with characteristics that are different from the parameter controlled by the control user interface object and that change with movement of the control user interface object from the first location to the second location.
