The present disclosure relates generally to computer user interfaces, and more specifically to context-specific user interfaces for indicating time.
Users rely on portable multifunction devices for keeping time, among a variety of other operations including running software applications. It is desirable to allow the user to access information through a single user interface while keeping the interface simple and intuitive to use. Further, a user may want to access different types of information, such as various aspects related to keeping time, or different application data points, in different contexts. It is therefore also desirable to allow the user to customize the user interface and the types of information provided through the user interface.
Portable multifunction devices are able to provide many different types of information and interfaces to a user, and a user may wish to customize these user interfaces, and the types of information they provide, in different contexts. Therefore, context-specific user interfaces for keeping time are increasingly desirable.
Some techniques for managing (e.g., editing) context-specific user interfaces for indicating time using electronic devices, however, are generally cumbersome and inefficient. For example, existing techniques use a complex and time-consuming user interface, which may include multiple key presses or keystrokes. Existing techniques require more time than necessary, wasting user time and device energy. This latter consideration is particularly important in battery-operated devices.
Accordingly, the present invention provides, inter alia, the benefit of portable electronic devices with faster, more efficient methods and interfaces for managing context-specific user interfaces. Such methods and interfaces optionally complement or replace other methods for managing context-specific user interfaces. Such methods and interfaces reduce the cognitive burden on a user and produce a more efficient human-machine interface. Such methods and interfaces may also reduce the number of unnecessary, extraneous, repetitive, and/or redundant inputs, and may create a faster and more efficient user interface arrangement, which may reduce the number of required inputs, reduce processing power, and reduce the amount of time for which user interfaces need to be displayed in order for desired functions to be accessed and carried out. For battery-operated computing devices, such methods and interfaces conserve power and increase the time between battery charges.
The above deficiencies and other problems are reduced or eliminated by the disclosed devices, methods, and computer-readable media. In some embodiments, the device is a desktop computer. In some embodiments, the device is portable (e.g., a notebook computer, tablet computer, or handheld device). In some embodiments, the device has a touchpad. In some embodiments, the device has a touch-sensitive display (also known as a “touch screen” or “touch screen display”).

In some embodiments, the device has a graphical user interface (GUI), one or more processors, memory, and one or more modules, programs, or sets of instructions stored in the memory for performing multiple functions. In some embodiments, the user interacts with the GUI through finger contacts and gestures on the touch-sensitive surface and/or through rotating the rotatable input mechanism and/or through depressing hardware buttons. In some embodiments, the functions optionally include image editing, drawing, presenting, word processing, website creating, disk authoring, spreadsheet making, game playing, telephoning, video conferencing, e-mailing, instant messaging, workout support, digital photographing, digital videoing, web browsing, digital music playing, and/or digital video playing. Executable instructions for performing these functions are, optionally, included in a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium or other computer program product configured for execution by one or more processors.

In the discussion that follows, an electronic device that includes a display and a touch-sensitive surface is described. It should be understood, however, that the electronic device optionally includes one or more other physical user-interface devices, such as a physical keyboard, a mouse, and/or a joystick.
The device may support a variety of applications, such as one or more of the following: a drawing application, a presentation application, a word processing application, a website creation application, a disk authoring application, a spreadsheet application, a gaming application, a telephone application, a video conferencing application, an e-mail application, an instant messaging application, a workout support application, a photo management application, a digital camera application, a digital video camera application, a web browsing application, a digital music player application, and/or a digital video player application.
The various applications that are executed on the device optionally use at least one common physical user-interface device, such as the touch-sensitive surface. One or more functions of the touch-sensitive surface as well as corresponding information displayed on the device are, optionally, adjusted and/or varied from one application to the next and/or within a respective application. In this way, a common physical architecture (such as the touch-sensitive surface) of the device optionally supports the variety of applications with user interfaces that are intuitive and transparent to the user.
Attention is now directed toward embodiments of portable devices with touch-sensitive displays.
As used in the specification and claims, the term “intensity” of a contact on a touch-sensitive surface refers to the force or pressure (force per unit area) of a contact (e.g., a finger contact) on the touch-sensitive surface, or to a substitute (proxy) for the force or pressure of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface. The intensity of a contact has a range of values that includes at least four distinct values and more typically includes hundreds of distinct values (e.g., at least 256). Intensity of a contact is, optionally, determined (or measured) using various approaches and various sensors or combinations of sensors. For example, one or more force sensors underneath or adjacent to the touch-sensitive surface are, optionally, used to measure force at various points on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, force measurements from multiple force sensors are combined (e.g., a weighted average) to determine an estimated force of a contact. Similarly, a pressure-sensitive tip of a stylus is, optionally, used to determine a pressure of the stylus on the touch-sensitive surface. Alternatively, the size of the contact area detected on the touch-sensitive surface and/or changes thereto, the capacitance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate to the contact and/or changes thereto, and/or the resistance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate to the contact and/or changes thereto are, optionally, used as a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are used directly to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is described in units corresponding to the substitute measurements). In some implementations, the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are converted to an estimated force or pressure, and the estimated force or pressure is used to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is a pressure threshold measured in units of pressure). Using the intensity of a contact as an attribute of a user input allows for user access to additional device functionality that may otherwise not be accessible by the user on a reduced-size device with limited real estate for displaying affordances (e.g., on a touch-sensitive display) and/or receiving user input (e.g., via a touch-sensitive display, a touch-sensitive surface, or a physical/mechanical control such as a knob or a button).
As used in the specification and claims, the term “tactile output” refers to physical displacement of a device relative to a previous position of the device, physical displacement of a component (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface) of a device relative to another component (e.g., housing) of the device, or displacement of the component relative to a center of mass of the device that will be detected by a user with the user's sense of touch. For example, in situations where the device or the component of the device is in contact with a surface of a user that is sensitive to touch (e.g., a finger, palm, or other part of a user's hand), the tactile output generated by the physical displacement will be interpreted by the user as a tactile sensation corresponding to a perceived change in physical characteristics of the device or the component of the device. For example, movement of a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch-sensitive display or trackpad) is, optionally, interpreted by the user as a “down click” or “up click” of a physical actuator button. In some cases, a user will feel a tactile sensation such as an “down click” or “up click” even when there is no movement of a physical actuator button associated with the touch-sensitive surface that is physically pressed (e.g., displaced) by the user's movements. As another example, movement of the touch-sensitive surface is, optionally, interpreted or sensed by the user as “roughness” of the touch-sensitive surface, even when there is no change in smoothness of the touch-sensitive surface. While such interpretations of touch by a user will be subject to the individualized sensory perceptions of the user, there are many sensory perceptions of touch that are common to a large majority of users. Thus, when a tactile output is described as corresponding to a particular sensory perception of a user (e.g., an “up click,” a “down click,” “roughness”), unless otherwise stated, the generated tactile output corresponds to physical displacement of the device or a component thereof that will generate the described sensory perception for a typical (or average) user.
It should be appreciated that device 100 is only one example of a portable multifunction device, and that device 100 optionally has more or fewer components than shown, optionally combines two or more components, or optionally has a different configuration or arrangement of the components.

The one or more buttons (e.g., 208,
A quick press of the push button may disengage a lock of touch screen 112 or begin a process that uses gestures on the touch screen to unlock the device, as described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/322,549, “Unlocking a Device by Performing Gestures on an Unlock Image,” filed Dec. 23, 2005, U.S. Pat. No. 7,657,849, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. A longer press of the push button (e.g., 206) may turn power to device 100 on or off. The user may be able to customize a functionality of one or more of the buttons. Touch screen 112 is used to implement virtual or soft buttons and one or more soft keyboards.
Touch-sensitive display 112 provides an input interface and an output interface between the device and a user. Display controller 156 receives and/or sends electrical signals from/to touch screen 112. Touch screen 112 displays visual output to the user. The visual output may include graphics, text, icons, video, and any combination thereof (collectively termed “graphics”). In some embodiments, some or all of the visual output may correspond to user-interface objects.
Touch screen 112 has a touch-sensitive surface, sensor, or set of sensors that accepts input from the user based on haptic and/or tactile contact. Touch screen 112 and display controller 156 (along with any associated modules and/or sets of instructions in memory 102) detect contact (and any movement or breaking of the contact) on touch screen 112 and convert the detected contact into interaction with user-interface objects (e.g., one or more soft keys, icons, web pages, or images) that are displayed on touch screen 112. In an exemplary embodiment, a point of contact between touch screen 112 and the user corresponds to a finger of the user.
Touch screen 112 may use LCD (liquid crystal display) technology, LPD (light emitting polymer display) technology, or LED (light emitting diode) technology, although other display technologies may be used in other embodiments. Touch screen 112 and display controller 156 may detect contact and any movement or breaking thereof using any of a plurality of touch sensing technologies now known or later developed, including but not limited to capacitive, resistive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave technologies, as well as other proximity sensor arrays or other elements for determining one or more points of contact with touch screen 112. In an exemplary embodiment, projected mutual capacitance sensing technology is used, such as that found in the iPhone® and iPod Touch® from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California.
A touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of touch screen 112 may be analogous to the multi-touch sensitive touchpads described in the following U.S. Pat. No. 6,323,846 (Westerman et al.), U.S. Pat. No. 6,570,557 (Westerman et al.), and/or U.S. Pat. No. 6,677,932 (Westerman), and/or U.S. Patent Publication 2002/0015024A1, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. However, touch screen 112 displays visual output from device 100, whereas touch-sensitive touchpads do not provide visual output.
A touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of touch screen 112 may be as described in the following applications: (1) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/381,313, “Multipoint Touch Surface Controller,” filed May 2, 2006; (2) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/840,862, “Multipoint Touchscreen,” filed May 6, 2004; (3) U.S. patent application Ser.

Touch screen 112 may have a video resolution in excess of 100 dpi. In some embodiments, the touch screen has a video resolution of approximately 160 dpi. The user may make contact with touch screen 112 using any suitable object or appendage, such as a stylus, a finger, and so forth. In some embodiments, the user interface is designed to work primarily with finger-based contacts and gestures, which can be less precise than stylus-based input due to the larger area of contact of a finger on the touch screen. In some embodiments, the device translates the rough finger-based input into a precise pointer/cursor position or command for performing the actions desired by the user.
In some embodiments, in addition to the touch screen, device 100 may include a touchpad (not shown) for activating or deactivating particular functions. In some embodiments, the touchpad is a touch-sensitive area of the device that, unlike the touch screen, does not display visual output. The touchpad may be a touch-sensitive surface that is separate from touch screen 112 or an extension of the touch-sensitive surface formed by the touch screen.
Device 100 also includes power system 162 for powering the various components. Power system 162 may include a power management system, one or more power sources (e.g., battery, alternating current (AC)), a recharging system, a power failure detection circuit, a power converter or inverter, a power status indicator (e.g., a light-emitting diode (LED)) and any other components associated with the generation, management and distribution of power in portable devices.
Device 100 may also include one or more optical sensors 164.
Device 100 optionally also includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165.
Device 100 may also include one or more proximity sensors 166.
Device 100 optionally also includes one or more tactile output generators 167.
Device 100 may also include one or more accelerometers 168.
In some embodiments, the software components stored in memory 102 include operating system 126, communication module (or set of instructions) 128, contact/motion module (or set of instructions) 130, graphics module (or set of instructions) 132, text input module (or set of instructions) 134, Global Positioning System (GPS) module (or set of instructions) 135, and applications (or sets of instructions) 136. Furthermore, in some embodiments, memory 102 (
Operating system 126 (e.g., Darwin, RTXC, LINUX, UNIX, OS X, iOS, WINDOWS, or an embedded operating system such as VxWorks) includes various software components and/or drivers for controlling and managing general system tasks (e.g., memory management, storage device control, power management, etc.) and facilitates communication between various hardware and software components.
Communication module 128 facilitates communication with other devices over one or more external ports 124 and also includes various software components for handling data received by RF circuitry 108 and/or external port 124. External port 124 (e.g., Universal Serial Bus (USB), FIREWIRE, etc.) is adapted for coupling directly to other devices or indirectly over a network (e.g., the Internet, wireless LAN, etc.). In some embodiments, the external port is a multi-pin (e.g., 30-pin) connector that is the same as, or similar to and/or compatible with, the 30-pin connector used on iPod® (trademark of Apple Inc.) devices.
Contact/motion module 130 optionally detects contact with touch screen 112 (in conjunction with display controller 156) and other touch-sensitive devices (e.g., a touchpad or physical click wheel). Contact/motion module 130 includes various software components for performing various operations related to detection of contact, such as determining if contact has occurred (e.g., detecting a finger-down event), determining an intensity of the contact (e.g., the force or pressure of the contact or a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact), determining if there is movement of the contact and tracking the movement across the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., detecting one or more finger-dragging events), and determining if the contact has ceased (e.g., detecting a finger-up event or a break in contact). Contact/motion module 130 receives contact data from the touch-sensitive surface. Determining movement of the point of contact, which is represented by a series of contact data, optionally includes determining speed (magnitude), velocity (magnitude and direction), and/or an acceleration (a change in magnitude and/or direction) of the point of contact. These operations are, optionally, applied to single contacts (e.g., one finger contacts) or to multiple simultaneous contacts (e.g., “multitouch”/multiple finger contacts). In some embodiments, contact/motion module 130 and display controller 156 detect contact on a touchpad.
In some embodiments, contact/motion module 130 uses a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an operation has been performed by a user (e.g., to determine whether a user has “clicked” on an icon). In some embodiments, at least a subset of the intensity thresholds are determined in accordance with software parameters (e.g., the intensity thresholds are not determined by the activation thresholds of particular physical actuators and can be adjusted without changing the physical hardware of device 100). For example, a mouse “click” threshold of a trackpad or touch screen display can be set to any of a large range of predefined threshold values without changing the trackpad or touch screen display hardware. Additionally, in some implementations, a user of the device is provided with software settings for adjusting one or more of the set of intensity thresholds (e.g., by adjusting individual intensity thresholds and/or by adjusting a plurality of intensity thresholds at once with a system-level click “intensity” parameter).
Contact/motion module 130 optionally detects a gesture input by a user. Different gestures on the touch-sensitive surface have different contact patterns (e.g., different motions, timings, and/or intensities of detected contacts). Thus, a gesture is, optionally, detected by detecting a particular contact pattern. For example, detecting a finger tap gesture includes detecting a finger-down event followed by detecting a finger-up (liftoff) event at the same position (or substantially the same position) as the finger-down event (e.g., at the position of an icon). As another example, detecting a finger swipe gesture on the touch-sensitive surface includes detecting a finger-down event followed by detecting one or more finger-dragging events, and subsequently followed by detecting a finger-up (liftoff) event.
Graphics module 132 includes various known software components for rendering and displaying graphics on touch screen 112 or other display, including components for changing the visual impact (e.g., brightness, transparency, saturation, contrast, or other visual property) of graphics that are displayed. As used herein, the term “graphics” includes any object that can be displayed to a user, including, without limitation, text, web pages, icons (such as user-interface objects including soft keys), digital images, videos, animations, and the like.
In some embodiments, graphics module 132 stores data representing graphics to be used. Each graphic is, optionally, assigned a corresponding code. Graphics module 132 receives, from applications etc., one or more codes specifying graphics to be displayed along with, if necessary, coordinate data and other graphic property data, and then generates screen image data to output to display controller 156.
Haptic feedback module 133 includes various software components for generating instructions used by tactile output generator(s) 167 to produce tactile outputs at one or more locations on device 100 in response to user interactions with device 100.
Text input module 134, which may be a component of graphics module 132, provides soft keyboards for entering text in various applications (e.g., contacts 137, e-mail 140, IM 141, browser 147, and any other application that needs text input).
GPS module 135 determines the location of the device and provides this information for use in various applications (e.g., to telephone 138 for use in location-based dialing; to camera 143 as picture/video metadata; and to applications that provide location-based services such as weather widgets, local yellow page widgets, and map/navigation widgets).
Applications 136 may include the following modules (or sets of instructions), or a subset or superset thereof:
Examples of other applications 136 that may be stored in memory 102 include other word processing applications, other image editing applications, drawing applications, presentation applications, JAVA-enabled applications, encryption, digital rights management, voice recognition, and voice replication.

In some embodiments, transmitted and/or received instant messages may include graphics, photos, audio files, video files and/or other attachments as are supported in an MMS and/or an Enhanced Messaging Service (EMS). As used herein, “instant messaging” refers to both telephony-based messages (e.g., messages sent using SMS or MMS) and Internet-based messages (e.g., messages sent using XMPP, SIMPLE, or IMPS).

In conjunction with touch screen 112, display controller 156, contact/motion module 130, graphics module 132, audio circuitry 110, speaker 111, RF circuitry 108, text input module 134, e-mail client module 140, and browser module 147, online video module 155 includes instructions that allow the user to access, browse, receive (e.g., by streaming and/or download), play back (e.g., on the touch screen or on an external, connected display via external port 124), send an e-mail with a link to a particular online video, and otherwise manage online videos in one or more file formats, such as H.264. In some embodiments, instant messaging module 141, rather than e-mail client module 140, is used to send a link to a particular online video. Additional description of the online video application can be found in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/936,562, “Portable Multifunction Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Playing Online Videos,” filed Jun. 20, 2007, and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/968,067, “Portable Multifunction Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Playing Online Videos,” filed Dec. 31, 2007, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
Each of the above-identified modules and applications corresponds to a set of executable instructions for performing one or more functions described above and the methods described in this application (e.g., the computer-implemented methods and other information processing methods described herein). These modules (e.g., sets of instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs, procedures, or modules, and thus various subsets of these modules may be combined or otherwise rearranged in various embodiments. For example, video player module may be combined with music player module into a single module (e.g., video and music player module 152,
In some embodiments, device 100 is a device where operation of a predefined set of functions on the device is performed exclusively through a touch screen and/or a touchpad. By using a touch screen and/or a touchpad as the primary input control device for operation of device 100, the number of physical input control devices (such as push buttons, dials, and the like) on device 100 may be reduced.
The predefined set of functions that are performed exclusively through a touch screen and/or a touchpad optionally include navigation between user interfaces. In some embodiments, the touchpad, when touched by the user, navigates device 100 to a main, home, or root menu from any user interface that is displayed on device 100. In such embodiments, a “menu button” is implemented using a touchpad. In some other embodiments, the menu button is a physical push button or other physical input control device instead of a touchpad.
Event sorter 170 receives event information and determines the application 136-1 and application view 191 of application 136-1 to which to deliver the event information. Event sorter 170 includes event monitor 171 and event dispatcher module 174. In some embodiments, application 136-1 includes application internal state 192, which indicates the current application view(s) displayed on touch-sensitive display 112 when the application is active or executing. In some embodiments, device/global internal state 157 is used by event sorter 170 to determine which application(s) is (are) currently active, and application internal state 192 is used by event sorter 170 to determine application views 191 to which to deliver event information.
In some embodiments, application internal state 192 includes additional information, such as one or more of: resume information to be used when application 136-1 resumes execution, user interface state information that indicates information being displayed or that is ready for display by application 136-1, a state queue for enabling the user to go back to a prior state or view of application 136-1, and a redo/undo queue of previous actions taken by the user.
Event monitor 171 receives event information from peripherals interface 118. Event information includes information about a sub-event (e.g., a user touch on touch-sensitive display 112, as part of a multi-touch gesture). Peripherals interface 118 transmits information it receives from I/O subsystem 106 or a sensor, such as proximity sensor 166, accelerometer(s) 168, and/or microphone 113 (through audio circuitry 110). Information that peripherals interface 118 receives from I/O subsystem 106 includes information from touch-sensitive display 112 or a touch-sensitive surface.
In some embodiments, event monitor 171 sends requests to the peripherals interface 118 at predetermined intervals. In response, peripherals interface 118 transmits event information. In other embodiments, peripherals interface 118 transmits event information only when there is a significant event (e.g., receiving an input above a predetermined noise threshold and/or for more than a predetermined duration).
In some embodiments, event sorter 170 also includes a hit view determination module 172 and/or an active event recognizer determination module 173.
Hit view determination module 172 provides software procedures for determining where a sub-event has taken place within one or more views when touch-sensitive display 112 displays more than one view. Views are made up of controls and other elements that a user can see on the display.
Another aspect of the user interface associated with an application is a set of views, sometimes herein called application views or user interface windows, in which information is displayed and touch-based gestures occur. The application views (of a respective application) in which a touch is detected may correspond to programmatic levels within a programmatic or view hierarchy of the application. For example, the lowest level view in which a touch is detected may be called the hit view, and the set of events that are recognized as proper inputs may be determined based, at least in part, on the hit view of the initial touch that begins a touch-based gesture.
Hit view determination module 172 receives information related to sub-events of a touch-based gesture. When an application has multiple views organized in a hierarchy, hit view determination module 172 identifies a hit view as the lowest view in the hierarchy which should handle the sub-event. In most circumstances, the hit view is the lowest level view in which an initiating sub-event occurs (e.g., the first sub-event in the sequence of sub-events that form an event or potential event). Once the hit view is identified by the hit view determination module 172, the hit view typically receives all sub-events related to the same touch or input source for which it was identified as the hit view.
Active event recognizer determination module 173 determines which view or views within a view hierarchy should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In some embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that only the hit view should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that all views that include the physical location of a sub-event are actively involved views, and therefore determines that all actively involved views should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, even if touch sub-events were entirely confined to the area associated with one particular view, views higher in the hierarchy would still remain as actively involved views.
Event dispatcher module 174 dispatches the event information to an event recognizer (e.g., event recognizer 180). In embodiments including active event recognizer determination module 173, event dispatcher module 174 delivers the event information to an event recognizer determined by active event recognizer determination module 173. In some embodiments, event dispatcher module 174 stores in an event queue the event information, which is retrieved by a respective event receiver 182.
In some embodiments, operating system 126 includes event sorter 170. Alternatively, application 136-1 includes event sorter 170. In yet other embodiments, event sorter 170 is a stand-alone module, or a part of another module stored in memory 102, such as contact/motion module 130.
In some embodiments, application 136-1 includes a plurality of event handlers 190 and one or more application views 191, each of which includes instructions for handling touch events that occur within a respective view of the application's user interface. Each application view 191 of the application 136-1 includes one or more event recognizers 180. Typically, a respective application view 191 includes a plurality of event recognizers 180. In other embodiments, one or more of event recognizers 180 are part of a separate module, such as a user interface kit (not shown) or a higher level object from which application 136-1 inherits methods and other properties. In some embodiments, a respective event handler 190 includes one or more of: data updater 176, object updater 177, GUI updater 178, and/or event data 179 received from event sorter 170. Event handler 190 may utilize or call data updater 176, object updater 177, or GUI updater 178 to update the application internal state 192. Alternatively, one or more of the application views 191 include one or more respective event handlers 190. Also, in some embodiments, one or more of data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178 are included in a respective application view 191.
A respective event recognizer 180 receives event information (e.g., event data 179) from event sorter 170 and identifies an event from the event information. Event recognizer 180 includes event receiver 182 and event comparator 184. In some embodiments, event recognizer 180 also includes at least a subset of: metadata 183, and event delivery instructions 188 (which may include sub-event delivery instructions).
Event receiver 182 receives event information from event sorter 170. The event information includes information about a sub-event, for example, a touch or a touch movement. Depending on the sub-event, the event information also includes additional information, such as location of the sub-event. When the sub-event concerns motion of a touch, the event information may also include speed and direction of the sub-event. In some embodiments, events include rotation of the device from one orientation to another (e.g., from a portrait orientation to a landscape orientation, or vice versa), and the event information includes corresponding information about the current orientation (also called device attitude) of the device.
Event comparator 184 compares the event information to predefined event or sub-event definitions and, based on the comparison, determines an event or sub-event, or determines or updates the state of an event or sub-event. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 includes event definitions 186. Event definitions 186 contain definitions of events (e.g., predefined sequences of sub-events), for example, event 1 (187-1), event 2 (187-2), and others. In some embodiments, sub-events in an event (187) include, for example, touch begin, touch end, touch movement, touch cancellation, and multiple touching. In one example, the definition for event 1 (187-1) is a double tap on a displayed object. The double tap, for example, comprises a first touch (touch begin) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, a first liftoff (touch end) for a predetermined phase, a second touch (touch begin) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, and a second liftoff (touch end) for a predetermined phase. In another example, the definition for event 2 (187-2) is a dragging on a displayed object. The dragging, for example, comprises a touch (or contact) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, a movement of the touch across touch-sensitive display 112, and liftoff of the touch (touch end). In some embodiments, the event also includes information for one or more associated event handlers 190.
In some embodiments, event definition 187 includes a definition of an event for a respective user-interface object. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which user-interface object is associated with a sub-event. For example, in an application view in which three user-interface objects are displayed on touch-sensitive display 112, when a touch is detected on touch-sensitive display 112, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which of the three user-interface objects is associated with the touch (sub-event). If each displayed object is associated with a respective event handler 190, the event comparator uses the result of the hit test to determine which event handler 190 should be activated. For example, event comparator 184 selects an event handler associated with the sub-event and the object triggering the hit test.
In some embodiments, the definition for a respective event (187) also includes delayed actions that delay delivery of the event information until after it has been determined whether the sequence of sub-events does or does not correspond to the event recognizer's event type.
When a respective event recognizer 180 determines that the series of sub-events do not match any of the events in event definitions 186, the respective event recognizer 180 enters an event impossible, event failed, or event ended state, after which it disregards subsequent sub-events of the touch-based gesture. In this situation, other event recognizers, if any, that remain active for the hit view continue to track and process sub-events of an ongoing touch-based gesture.
In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer 180 includes metadata 183 with configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how the event delivery system should perform sub-event delivery to actively involved event recognizers. In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how event recognizers may interact, or are enabled to interact, with one another. In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate whether sub-events are delivered to varying levels in the view or programmatic hierarchy.
In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer 180 activates event handler 190 associated with an event when one or more particular sub-events of an event are recognized. In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer 180 delivers event information associated with the event to event handler 190. Activating an event handler 190 is distinct from sending (and deferred sending) sub-events to a respective hit view. In some embodiments, event recognizer 180 throws a flag associated with the recognized event, and event handler 190 associated with the flag catches the flag and performs a predefined process.
In some embodiments, event delivery instructions 188 include sub-event delivery instructions that deliver event information about a sub-event without activating an event handler. Instead, the sub-event delivery instructions deliver event information to event handlers associated with the series of sub-events or to actively involved views. Event handlers associated with the series of sub-events or with actively involved views receive the event information and perform a predetermined process.
In some embodiments, data updater 176 creates and updates data used in application 136-1. For example, data updater 176 updates the telephone number used in contacts module 137, or stores a video file used in video player module. In some embodiments, object updater 177 creates and updates objects used in application 136-1. For example, object updater 177 creates a new user-interface object or updates the position of a user-interface object. GUI updater 178 updates the GUI. For example, GUI updater 178 prepares display information and sends it to graphics module 132 for display on a touch-sensitive display.
In some embodiments, event handler(s) 190 includes or has access to data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178. In some embodiments, data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178 are included in a single module of a respective application 136-1 or application view 191. In other embodiments, they are included in two or more software modules.
It shall be understood that the foregoing discussion regarding event handling of user touches on touch-sensitive displays also applies to other forms of user inputs to operate multifunction devices 100 with input devices, not all of which are initiated on touch screens. For example, mouse movement and mouse button presses, optionally coordinated with single or multiple keyboard presses or holds; contact movements such as taps, drags, scrolls, etc. on touchpads; pen stylus inputs; movement of the device; oral instructions; detected eye movements; biometric inputs; and/or any combination thereof are optionally utilized as inputs corresponding to sub-events which define an event to be recognized.
Device 100 may also include one or more physical buttons, such as “home” or menu button 204. As described previously, menu button 204 may be used to navigate to any application 136 in a set of applications that may be executed on device 100. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the menu button is implemented as a soft key in a GUI displayed on touch screen 112.
In one embodiment, device 100 includes touch screen 112, menu button 204, push button 206 for powering the device on/off and locking the device, volume adjustment button(s) 208, subscriber identity module (SIM) card slot 210, headset jack 212, and docking/charging external port 124. Push button 206 is, optionally, used to turn the power on/off on the device by depressing the button and holding the button in the depressed state for a predefined time interval; to lock the device by depressing the button and releasing the button before the predefined time interval has elapsed; and/or to unlock the device or initiate an unlock process. In an alternative embodiment, device 100 also accepts verbal input for activation or deactivation of some functions through microphone 113. Device 100 also, optionally, includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165 for detecting intensity of contacts on touch screen 112 and/or one or more tactile output generators 167 for generating tactile outputs for a user of device 100.
Each of the above-identified elements in
Attention is now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces that may be implemented on, for example, portable multifunction device 100.
It should be noted that the icon labels illustrated in
Although some of the examples which follow will be given with reference to inputs on touch screen display 112 (where the touch-sensitive surface and the display are combined), in some embodiments, the device detects inputs on a touch-sensitive surface that is separate from the display, as shown in
Additionally, while the following examples are given primarily with reference to finger inputs (e.g., finger contacts, finger tap gestures, finger swipe gestures), it should be understood that, in some embodiments, one or more of the finger inputs are replaced with input from another input device (e.g., a mouse-based input or stylus input). For example, a swipe gesture is, optionally, replaced with a mouse click (e.g., instead of a contact) followed by movement of the cursor along the path of the swipe (e.g., instead of movement of the contact). As another example, a tap gesture is, optionally, replaced with a mouse click while the cursor is located over the location of the tap gesture (e.g., instead of detection of the contact followed by ceasing to detect the contact). Similarly, when multiple user inputs are simultaneously detected, it should be understood that multiple computer mice are, optionally, used simultaneously, or a mouse and finger contacts are, optionally, used simultaneously.
Techniques for detecting and processing touch intensity may be found, for example, in related applications: International Patent Application Serial No. PCT/US2013/040061, titled “Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Displaying User Interface Objects Corresponding to an Application,” filed May 8, 2013, published as WIPO Publication No. WO/2013/169849, and International Patent Application Serial No. PCT/US2013/069483, titled “Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Transitioning Between Touch Input to Display Output Relationships,” filed Nov. 11, 2013, published as WIPO Publication No. WO/2014/105276, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
In some embodiments, device 500 has one or more input mechanisms 506 and 508. Input mechanisms 506 and 508, if included, can be physical. Examples of physical input mechanisms include push buttons and rotatable mechanisms. In some embodiments, device 500 has one or more attachment mechanisms. Such attachment mechanisms, if included, can permit attachment of device 500 with, for example, hats, eyewear, earrings, necklaces, shirts, jackets, bracelets, watch straps, chains, trousers, belts, shoes, purses, backpacks, and so forth. These attachment mechanisms may permit device 500 to be worn by a user.
Input mechanism 508 may be a microphone, in some examples. Personal electronic device 500 can include various sensors, such as GPS sensor 532, accelerometer 534, directional sensor 540 (e.g., compass), gyroscope 536, motion sensor 538, and/or a combination thereof, all of which can be operatively connected to I/O section 514.
Memory 518 of personal electronic device 500 can be a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, for storing computer-executable instructions, which, when executed by one or more computer processors 516, for example, can cause the computer processors to perform the techniques described above, including processes 2000-3300 (
As used here, the term “affordance” refers to a user-interactive graphical user interface object that may be displayed on the display screen of devices 100, 300, and/or 500 (
As used herein, the term “focus selector” refers to an input element that indicates a current part of a user interface with which a user is interacting. In some implementations that include a cursor or other location marker, the cursor acts as a “focus selector” so that when an input (e.g., a press input) is detected on a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touchpad 355 in
As used in the specification and claims, the term “characteristic intensity” of a contact refers to a characteristic of the contact based on one or more intensities of the contact. In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is based on multiple intensity samples. The characteristic intensity is, optionally, based on a predefined number of intensity samples, or a set of intensity samples collected during a predetermined time period (e.g., 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10 seconds) relative to a predefined event (e.g., after detecting the contact, prior to detecting liftoff of the contact, before or after detecting a start of movement of the contact, prior to detecting an end of the contact, before or after detecting an increase in intensity of the contact, and/or before or after detecting a decrease in intensity of the contact). A characteristic intensity of a contact is, optionally based on one or more of: a maximum value of the intensities of the contact, a mean value of the intensities of the contact, an average value of the intensities of the contact, a top 10 percentile value of the intensities of the contact, a value at the half maximum of the intensities of the contact, a value at the 90 percent maximum of the intensities of the contact, or the like. In some embodiments, the duration of the contact is used in determining the characteristic intensity (e.g., when the characteristic intensity is an average of the intensity of the contact over time). In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is compared to a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an operation has been performed by a user. For example, the set of one or more intensity thresholds may include a first intensity threshold and a second intensity threshold. In this example, a contact with a characteristic intensity that does not exceed the first threshold results in a first operation, a contact with a characteristic intensity that exceeds the first intensity threshold and does not exceed the second intensity threshold results in a second operation, and a contact with a characteristic intensity that exceeds the second threshold results in a third operation. In some embodiments, a comparison between the characteristic intensity and one or more thresholds is used to determine whether or not to perform one or more operations (e.g., whether to perform a respective operation or forgo performing the respective operation) rather than being used to determine whether to perform a first operation or a second operation.
In some embodiments, a portion of a gesture is identified for purposes of determining a characteristic intensity. For example, a touch-sensitive surface may receive a continuous swipe contact transitioning from a start location and reaching an end location, at which point the intensity of the contact increases. In this example, the characteristic intensity of the contact at the end location may be based on only a portion of the continuous swipe contact, and not the entire swipe contact (e.g., only the portion of the swipe contact at the end location). In some embodiments, a smoothing algorithm may be applied to the intensities of the swipe contact prior to determining the characteristic intensity of the contact. For example, the smoothing algorithm optionally includes one or more of: an unweighted sliding-average smoothing algorithm, a triangular smoothing algorithm, a median filter smoothing algorithm, and/or an exponential smoothing algorithm. In some circumstances, these smoothing algorithms eliminate narrow spikes or dips in the intensities of the swipe contact for purposes of determining a characteristic intensity.
The intensity of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface may be characterized relative to one or more intensity thresholds, such as a contact-detection intensity threshold, a light press intensity threshold, a deep press intensity threshold, and/or one or more other intensity thresholds. In some embodiments, the light press intensity threshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device will perform operations typically associated with clicking a button of a physical mouse or a trackpad. In some embodiments, the deep press intensity threshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device will perform operations that are different from operations typically associated with clicking a button of a physical mouse or a trackpad. In some embodiments, when a contact is detected with a characteristic intensity below the light press intensity threshold (e.g., and above a nominal contact-detection intensity threshold below which the contact is no longer detected), the device will move a focus selector in accordance with movement of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface without performing an operation associated with the light press intensity threshold or the deep press intensity threshold. Generally, unless otherwise stated, these intensity thresholds are consistent between different sets of user interface figures.
An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the light press intensity threshold to an intensity between the light press intensity threshold and the deep press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as a “light press” input. An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the deep press intensity threshold to an intensity above the deep press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as a “deep press” input. An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the contact-detection intensity threshold to an intensity between the contact-detection intensity threshold and the light press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as detecting the contact on the touch-surface. A decrease of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity above the contact-detection intensity threshold to an intensity below the contact-detection intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as detecting liftoff of the contact from the touch-surface. In some embodiments, the contact-detection intensity threshold is zero. In some embodiments, the contact-detection intensity threshold is greater than zero.
In some embodiments described herein, one or more operations are performed in response to detecting a gesture that includes a respective press input or in response to detecting the respective press input performed with a respective contact (or a plurality of contacts), where the respective press input is detected based at least in part on detecting an increase in intensity of the contact (or plurality of contacts) above a press-input intensity threshold. In some embodiments, the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold (e.g., a “down stroke” of the respective press input). In some embodiments, the press input includes an increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold and a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact below the press-input intensity threshold, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the subsequent decrease in intensity of the respective contact below the press-input threshold (e.g., an “up stroke” of the respective press input).
In some embodiments, the device employs intensity hysteresis to avoid accidental inputs sometimes termed “jitter,” where the device defines or selects a hysteresis intensity threshold with a predefined relationship to the press-input intensity threshold (e.g., the hysteresis intensity threshold is X intensity units lower than the press-input intensity threshold or the hysteresis intensity threshold is 75%, 90%, or some reasonable proportion of the press-input intensity threshold). Thus, in some embodiments, the press input includes an increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold and a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold that corresponds to the press-input intensity threshold, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the subsequent decrease in intensity of the respective contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold (e.g., an “up stroke” of the respective press input). Similarly, in some embodiments, the press input is detected only when the device detects an increase in intensity of the contact from an intensity at or below the hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity at or above the press-input intensity threshold and, optionally, a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact to an intensity at or below the hysteresis intensity, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the press input (e.g., the increase in intensity of the contact or the decrease in intensity of the contact, depending on the circumstances).
For ease of explanation, the descriptions of operations performed in response to a press input associated with a press-input intensity threshold or in response to a gesture including the press input are, optionally, triggered in response to detecting either: an increase in intensity of a contact above the press-input intensity threshold, an increase in intensity of a contact from an intensity below the hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity above the press-input intensity threshold, a decrease in intensity of the contact below the press-input intensity threshold, and/or a decrease in intensity of the contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to the press-input intensity threshold. Additionally, in examples where an operation is described as being performed in response to detecting a decrease in intensity of a contact below the press-input intensity threshold, the operation is, optionally, performed in response to detecting a decrease in intensity of the contact below a hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to, and lower than, the press-input intensity threshold.
As used herein, an “installed application” refers to a software application that has been downloaded onto an electronic device (e.g., devices 100, 300, and/or 500) and is ready to be launched (e.g., become opened) on the device. In some embodiments, a downloaded application becomes an installed application by way of an installation program that extracts program portions from a downloaded package and integrates the extracted portions with the operating system of the computer system.
As used herein, the term “open application” or “executing application” refers to a software application with retained state information (e.g., as part of device/global internal state 157 and/or application internal state 192). An open or executing application may be any one of the following types of applications:
As used herein, the term “closed application” refers to software applications without retained state information (e.g., state information for closed applications is not stored in a memory of the device). Accordingly, closing an application includes stopping and/or removing application processes for the application and removing state information for the application from the memory of the device. Generally, opening a second application while in a first application does not close the first application. When the second application is displayed and the first application ceases to be displayed, the first application becomes a background application.
1. Context-Specific User Interfaces
Attention is now directed towards embodiments of context-specific user interfaces (“UP”) and associated processes that may be implemented on a multifunction device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface, such as devices 100, 300, and/or 500 (
The following examples illustrate exemplary embodiments of context-specific user interfaces. Described herein are overall concepts related to customizable context-specific user interfaces. It is noted that the context-specific user interfaces described herein are editable in a number of ways. A user interface may display or otherwise indicate various types of information related to time, and the type(s) of information may be customizable by the user. A user interface may include aspects such as colors, density of display, and complications (or lack of complications) that are also customizable. As used here, consistent with its accepted meaning in art, a complication refers to any clock face feature other than those used to indicate the hours and minutes of a time (e.g., clock hands or hour/minute indications). Complications may provide different types of information to a user, such as data obtained from an application, and the information conveyed to a user by a complication is also customizable, as described below.
These combinatorial features result in many thousands, if not more, of available context-specific user interfaces. Since describing each of these permutations is not practical, particular aspects are highlighted with particular context-specific user interfaces, but these exemplary descriptions are in no way intended to limit such aspects to such context-specific user interfaces, as specific aspects may be used in other context-specific user interfaces, and specific context-specific user interfaces may have other aspects. These embodiments are meant to illustrate the overall concepts presented, but a skilled artisan will recognize that numerous other embodiments are possible within the scope of the techniques described herein.
A user keeping track of the time of day may wish to gain some sense of how much time has elapsed since a particular event. For example, a user may wish to know how much time has elapsed since the last time the user viewed the time, or how much time has elapsed since a particular time of day, like morning. In addition to viewing a clock face, the user may wish to receive additional visual cues that reinforce the perception of elapsed time.
As shown in
As described above, the context-specific user interface exemplified in
In other embodiments, the first time may be based on a predetermined interval of time. For example, the first time may precede the current time by a first duration, and the first duration may be a predetermined duration before the current time. That is to say, rather than being based on a user interaction, the first time indicated by the clock face may be based on a predetermined or fixed duration before the current time.
In some embodiments, the predetermined duration is 5 hours. In response to user input, the clock face may depict a time 5 hours before the current time, then animate the clock face to transition from indicating the first time to indicating the current time. For example, if the current time is 6:00, the device may, in response to user input, display a clock face showing 1:00 that is animated to transition from 1:00 to 6:00.
In other embodiments, the first time may be based on a predetermined time of day. In this case, the device may begin the animation by indicating the same time of day (i.e., the first time) no matter the current time, and then animate the clock face until it reaches the current time. For example, the first time may be morning (e.g., 8:00 am). In this example, if the current time is 6:00, the device may, in response to user input, display a clock face showing 8:00 that is animated to transition from 8:00 to 6:00.
Regardless of how the first time is determined, in some embodiments, the clock face may be animated for a period of time indicative of the duration between the first time and the current time. That is to say, the length of the animation may be roughly proportional to the length of this duration. The length of animation may not be precisely proportional to the first duration, but rather it may convey to the user a general indication of an approximate length of the time. To illustrate using the examples described above, the clock face may be animated for a longer period of time if transitioning from 8:00 to 6:00 than it is if transitioning from 3:00 to 6:00. This may be particularly useful if the duration is variable, such as if the duration is based on the time between user interactions. In this case, a user will immediately comprehend that the time elapsed between interactions is longer if the animation of the clock face is longer, or that the time between interactions is shorter if the animation of the clock face is shorter.
In other embodiments, the clock face is animated for a period of time independent of the first duration. That is to say, the length of the animation is not proportional to the duration between the first time and the current time. In some embodiments, the length of animation may be the same for each animation. To illustrate using the examples described above, the clock face may be animated for the same period of time regardless if transitioning from 8:00 to 6:00 or from 3:00 to 6:00. This may be helpful to reduce the time a user is viewing the transition. Alternatively, the clock face is animated for a different period of time if transitioning from 8:00 to 6:00 compared to transitioning from 3:00 to 6:00, but the periods of time may not related to the first duration.
In some embodiments, the device accesses an image of a scene that is representative of the time indicated by the clock face. An image of a scene that is representative of a time may connote to the user a similar time of day, in conjunction with the time indicated by the clock face. The image of the scene need not connote the precise time indicated by the clock face, nor does it need to be strictly linked to the time of day at the location of the scene (this will be discussed in greater detail below). In some embodiments, the image of the scene is an image captured at substantially the same time of day as the current time (i.e., the time of day when the image was taken at the scene). In other embodiments, the image of the scene is an image captured at a different time of day, as compared to the current time.
In some embodiments, the image of the scene may depict, for example, a city, beach, desert, park, lake, mountain, or valley. In some embodiments, the scene may be recognizable to the user, such as a scene of Yosemite Valley or Big Ben.
Device 600 then displays screens 630 and 640. Screen 630 is optional, as described below, and includes clock face 632, which is indicating a time between the first time and the current time. This intermediate time is further represented on clock face 632 by the background (see, e.g., setting sun 634). Screen 640 includes clock face 642, which depicts the current time. Clock face 642 also displays a background that represents the current time (see, e.g., moon 644).
Therefore, in some embodiments, and in response to receiving data representing user input 620, the device accesses a first image of a scene representative of the first time (e.g., the background of clock face 624), accesses a second image of the scene representative of the current time (e.g., the background of clock face 642), and in response to receiving the data representing the user input, successively displays the first image of the scene and the second image of the scene.
The successive display indicates the passage of time from the first time to the current time. The device may include a series of images for a particular scene (e.g., time lapse images), each depicting a different time of day, such that any first time or current time depicted by the clock face has a corresponding image of the scene that is representative of the depicted time. In some embodiments, the first image of the scene and the second image of the scene are displayed as backgrounds on the user interface screen.
In some embodiments, the device accesses a sequence of images of a scene that includes a first image of the scene representative of the first time (e.g., the background of clock face 624), one or more second images of the scene representative of one or more times between the first time and the current time (e.g., the background of clock face 632), and a third image of the scene representative of the current time (e.g., the background of clock face 642). In response to receiving the data representing user input 620, the device displays the sequence of images of the scene by animating the sequence of images to indicate the passage of time from the first time to the current time (e.g., like a flipbook). In some embodiments, the scene is user-designated (e.g., the device may store a set of time lapse images for different scenes, and the user may select the scene to be displayed).
As shown in
In some embodiments, device 600 has a location sensor (e.g., GPS sensor 532 and/or GPS module 135), and the device obtains a current location of the device from the location sensor. The first image of the scene represents the first time at the current location, and the second image or the third image of the scene (e.g., whichever is representative of the current time) represents the current time at the current location. That is to say, the indicated passage of time reflects day/night hours at the current location. For example, if the user is at a location near the Arctic Circle, the current day may have daytime hours close to 24 hours (e.g., midnight sun). In this example, the images indicating the first time and the current time may all be daytime images of the scene (e.g., Yosemite Valley), even if the first time and the current time are separated by a long period of time. Therefore, the images of the scene may be representative of the depicted time(s) at the current location, but they may not be representative of the depicted time(s) at the location of the scene. This concept allows the device to display a context-specific user interface for depicting the passage of time at the current location and enhances a user's interaction with the device, since the animation is grounded in the user's experience (e.g., perception of time) at the current location.
In some embodiments, the device displays a user interface object on the user interface screen at a first position based on the first time. In some embodiments, the position may be based on a position along the clock face, like an hour indication (e.g., 6 o'clock position at the lower center of the display). In some embodiments, the position may be based on a position across a horizon, such as a position of the Sun or the Moon. For example, in
In some embodiments, the device animates the user interface object by moving the user interface object from the first position to a second position on the user interface screen, where the second position is based on the current time. Moving the user interface object from the first position to a second position indicates the passage of time from the first time to the current time. As shown in
In any of the embodiments described above, the user input may include a movement of the device. For example, a movement of the device could be raising of the user's wrist (if the device is wearable), or other movement indicative of the user raising the device to view the display. These movements could be detected, for example, by using an accelerometer (e.g., 534), a gyroscope (e.g., 536), a motion sensor (e.g., 538), and/or a combination thereof. In any of the context-dependent faces described herein, a movement of the device may be a user input that activates the display.
Further, in any of the context-dependent faces described herein, a movement of the device such as a lowering of the user's wrist (if the device is wearable) or other movement indicative that the user is no longer actively viewing the display, or a lack of a movement of the device such as raising of the user's wrist (if the device is wearable) or other movement indicative of the user raising the device to view the display, may be a user input that causes the device to turn off the display.
In other embodiments, the device may have a touch-sensitive display or touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touchpad 355 in
Attention is now directed to the context-specific user interface shown in
A user may wish to keep track of the time of day while also accessing a stopwatch function. For example, in contexts such as running or cycling, a user may wish to operate a stopwatch, record laps, and still maintain a view of the time of day.
As shown in
As exemplified in
Further in response to touch 712, device 700 animates stopwatch hand 726 to reflect passage of time, as shown by comparing screen 720 and 730. As shown on screen 730, the stopwatch hand has moved to a second position on the clock face (note the position of stopwatch hand 736), indicating the passage of time. Given that indicator 734 shows that the stopwatch timescale is 60 seconds, the position of stopwatch hand 736 indicates that 25 seconds have passed. As shown in
Stated another way, the device displays the time of day with the hour hand and the minute hand, and it additionally displays a stopwatch hand. In response to receiving data representing user input, the indication(s) of the hour are replaced with indication(s) of a first timescale of the stopwatch hand, but the hour hand and the minute hand continue to indicate the time of day, even though the hour indication(s) have been replaced. This allows the user to view a stopwatch and the time of day simultaneously, while showing that the stopwatch has started and indicating the timescale for the stopwatch. Also in response to receiving the data, the device animates the stopwatch hand to reflect passage of time.
In some embodiments, while animating the stopwatch hand to reflect the passage of time, the device receives second data representing a second user input, and in response to receiving the second data, the device may cease the animation of the stopwatch hand. For example, this may function similar to a “stop” function for the stopwatch.
In some embodiments, the device may display on the touch-sensitive display a first affordance representing a start/stop function (e.g., affordance 710). The first data representing the first user input (e.g., touch 712) and the second data representing the second user input both represent contacts on the displayed first affordance. In other embodiments, the device may display separate affordances for the stopwatch start and stopwatch stop functions.
In some embodiments, the device may display on the touch-sensitive display a second affordance representing a lap function (e.g., affordance 738). The devices receives third data representing a contact on the displayed second affordance after receiving the first data (e.g., after invoking the start function) and before receiving the second data (e.g., before invoking the stop function). In response to receiving the third data, the device displays a third numerical indication of elapsed time between receiving the first data and receiving the third data. For example, this may function similar to a “lap” function for the stopwatch that causes a display of the time elapsed since invoking the start function. As described above, this feature is illustrated on screen 730.
In some embodiments, the device may display on the touch-sensitive display a third affordance representing a stopwatch application, which is depicted as affordance 714 on screen 702. The device receives fourth data representing a contact on the displayed third affordance, and in response to receiving the fourth data, the device launches the stopwatch application. This allows the user to access additional information and/or functionality related to the stopwatch feature directly from this context-specific user interface. In one embodiment, the stopwatch application is an application as described in related application: U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62/044,979, filed on Sep. 2, 2014, entitled “Stopwatch and Timer User Interfaces.”
In some embodiments, the first timescale for the stopwatch hand may be 60 seconds, 30 seconds, 6 seconds, or 3 seconds. In some embodiments, the movement of the stopwatch hand is animated at a rate based on the first timescale for the stopwatch hand. For example, the stopwatch hand may move faster if the timescale is 3 seconds than if the timescale is 60 seconds. This allows the stopwatch hand to complete a full revolution around the clock face in the amount of time depicted by the first timescale.
In some embodiments, the device may substitute the one or more indications of an hourly timescale with an indication of a first timescale for the stopwatch hand by removing the one or more indications of the hourly timescale, displaying the indication of the first timescale for the stopwatch hand, and translating the displayed indication of the first timescale for the stopwatch hand in a rotational motion in a clockwise direction. As an illustrative example, if the display includes 12 numerical indications of hourly timescale, and the first timescale for the stopwatch hand is a 6 second timescale, the device may substitute the 12 numerals with a single 6 numeral. In some embodiments, this may be the same 6 numeral that was previously the indicator for the 6 o'clock hour, such that the substitute and display are not perceptible to the user. The device may display the 6 numerical indicating the first timescale for the stopwatch hand at the 6 o'clock position on the clock face, then translate the 6 in a clockwise motion around the clock face until it arrives at the top of the clock face (formerly the 12 o'clock position), at which point the translation stops. This improves the context-specific interface by reinforcing to the user that the clock face has transitioned from indicating hours and minutes to indicating the first timescale for the stopwatch hand.
As illustrated in
In some embodiments, the device substitutes the indication of the first timescale for the stopwatch hand with the indication of the second timescale for the stopwatch hand by removing the indication of the first timescale for the stopwatch hand, displaying the indication of the second timescale for the stopwatch hand, and translating the displayed indication of the second timescale for the stopwatch hand in a rotational motion in a clockwise direction.
As shown in
In some embodiments, after receiving the first data representing the first user input, the device animates the stopwatch hand to represent a rotational motion about an origin and ceases the animation to display the stopwatch hand at a position at π/2 radians (e.g., the 12 o'clock position) relative to the rotational motion about the origin. For example, the stopwatch hand may function as a seconds hand of the clock face before the first data is received. When the first data is received, the seconds hand may be animated to depict a rotation around the clock face (e.g., by rotating about the center point of the clock face) until it resets at the 12 o'clock position. This signals to the user that the seconds hand has now become the stopwatch hand.
Attention is now directed to the context-specific user interface shown in
In
Screen 802 also displays second affordance 806, which indicates the current time. Second affordance 806 indicates the current time (10:09) and optionally includes an indication of the day of the week (Wednesday) and the day of the month (25th). Screen 802 further displays moon affordance 808 and solar system affordance 810, which are used to invoke additional context-specific user interfaces accessible from this screen that will be described in more detail below.
In some embodiments, the simulation of the first region of the Earth as illuminated by the Sun at the current time is a realistic rendering of the Earth at the current time. For example, the simulation of the Earth may include specific geographic features. In some embodiments, the simulation of the Earth is updated to reflect weather patterns at the current time (e.g., by depicting cloud cover or other weather phenomena such as a tropical storm). The device may update the Earth to reflect global-scale by obtaining data from a weather service or external server, such as The Weather Channel, Accuweather, The National Weather Service, Yahoo!™ Weather, Weather Underground, the United States Naval Observatory, or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. In some embodiments, the simulation of the first region of the Earth as illuminated by the Sun at the current time may indicate other global events, such as the real-time position of the International Space Station, which may be obtained from a service or external server such as from NASA.
Device 800 receives a user input (in this example, swipe 812), and in response to receiving the user input, device 800 rotates the simulation of the Earth to display a second region of the Earth as illuminated by the Sun at the current time. This is depicted on screen 820, which displays first affordance 822 depicting a second region of the Earth as illuminated by the Sun at the current time, which is indicated by second affordance 824. This feature allows the user to access additional information other than the current time from this context-specific user interface. For example, a user is able to rotate the simulation of the Earth and display which regions are currently in daytime and which regions are currently in nighttime. Tying this information to a simulation of the Earth allows the user to access complex geographical and time-related data in a manner that is instantly intuitive and comprehensible.
In some embodiments, the first affordance representing the simulation of the first region of the Earth as illuminated by the Sun at the current time includes a representation of a solar terminator (e.g., a day/night line at the current time). As illustrated by affordances 804 and 822, the simulation of the Earth may include a depiction of a region of the Earth currently in daytime, a region of the Earth currently in nighttime, and/or a solar terminator dividing the two regions.
In some embodiments, the user input includes a swipe on the touch-sensitive display in a first swipe direction, as illustrated by swipe 812. This allows the user to swipe the display to rotate the simulation of the Earth. In some embodiments, the direction of rotation of the Earth is the same as the swipe direction. In some embodiments, the direction of rotation of the Earth is the opposite as the swipe direction.
In some embodiments, the user may rotate the simulation of the Earth in more than one direction using swipes in different directions. For example, a swipe in one direction may cause the representation of the Earth to rotate in one direction, and a swipe in an opposite or otherwise different direction may cause the representation of the Earth to rotate in an opposite direction. This allows the user to swipe in different directions to direct the rotation of the simulation of the Earth.
In some embodiments, as illustrated in
In some embodiments, the device has a location sensor (e.g., GPS sensor 532 and/or GPS module 135), and before displaying the user interface screen, the device obtains a current location of the electronic device from the location sensor and displays the first region of the Earth represented by the first affordance to indicate the current location of the electronic device. This allows the device to display the Earth in such a way that the current location is part of the visible portion of the simulation of the Earth, for example as a default or user-selectable state. In some embodiments, the first affordance includes a visual marking of the current location on the representation of the Earth. This allows the user to easily identify the current location on the simulation of the Earth.
In some embodiments, the device (e.g., device 800) visually marks the current location of the device on the representation of the Earth (e.g., by displaying a symbol at the appropriate location on the representation of the Earth and/or text indicating the current location). In some embodiments, this visual marking may be transitory, e.g., the visual marking may be displayed briefly and then disappear or fade out. In some embodiments, while the user is at the current location, the device does not repeat the visual marking of the current location. However, if the user changes locations, the first time the user looks at the display after changing location, the device will visually mark the new current location on the representation of the Earth as set forth above. In some embodiments, the device detects a user movement of the device (e.g., a movement of the device such as raising of the user's wrist, if the device is wearable, or other movement indicative that the user is viewing the display) and in response obtains a current location of the electronic device from the location sensor. The device may then determine whether the current location is the same as the location of the device at the last user movement of the device. In accordance with a determination that the current location has changed since the last user movement of the device, the device may visually mark the current location on the representation of the Earth.
In some embodiments, the device visually marks a location (e.g., a current location) corresponding to the location of a contact (e.g., the location of the contact's electronic device) on the representation of the Earth (e.g., by displaying a symbol at the appropriate location on the representation of the Earth and/or text indicating the contact's location). The contact may be stored, e.g., on the device or on an external device that is coupled to the device via wireless communication (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth™, near field communication (“NFC”), or any of the other cellular and/or other wireless communication techniques described herein). In some embodiments, the contact may be a contact associated with a user that has agreed to provide their location data to the user of device 800, such as through a Find My Friends application, and data indicating the location of the contact's electronic device may be provided through a server, which may provide the location of the contacts stored on device 800. This provides the user of device 800 a quick visual reference to alert them to the current location of a contact. In some embodiments, the user may further input the travel information for a contact (e.g., flight data for a contact traveling by air, train data, cruise or boat data, etc.). The device may obtain data representing the current or predicted location of the contact (provided, e.g., by an airline's server in the example of flight data) and update the visual marking of the contact's location based on the obtained data.
In some embodiments, the device detects a user movement of the device (e.g., a movement of the device such as raising of the user's wrist, if the device is wearable, or other movement indicative that the user is viewing the display). In response to detecting the movement, the device animates the first affordance representing the simulation of the Earth by translating the first affordance on-screen towards the center of the displayed user interface screen. For example, upon detecting a user movement, the device animates the simulation of the Earth to rotate in from a side or edge of the display to the center of the display.
In some embodiments, the device displays on the user interface screen a third affordance representing a moon (as depicted by affordances 808, 826, and 846). In some embodiments, the third affordance may be a graphical or stylized representation of a moon such as an icon, symbol, or a text indicating a moon. In some embodiments, the third affordance may be a realistic rendering of the Moon as seen from the Earth at the current time with actual lunar features depicted.
The device detects a contact on the displayed third affordance, and in response to detecting the contact, the device updates the display of the user interface screen by displaying a fourth affordance representing a simulation of the Moon as seen from the Earth at the current time and a fifth affordance indicating the current time. In some embodiments, updating the display of the user interface screen includes animating the first affordance representing the simulation of the first region of the Earth as illuminated by the Sun by zooming out. This animation allows the user to recognize that the astronomical scale and/or perspective has changed.
This transitions the user interface from providing information about the current time within the current day using a simulation of the Earth to providing information about the current time within the current month using a simulation of the Moon. Whereas the context-specific user interface described in reference to
As described above, device 900 is device 800 with an updated display. Device 900 is displaying screen 902, which includes affordance 904. Affordance 904 represents a simulation of the Moon as seen from the Earth at the current time (e.g., the current moon phase). In some embodiments, fourth affordance 904 is a realistic rendering of the Moon as seen from the Earth at the current time with actual lunar features depicted. As shown by fourth affordance 904, the current moon phase is a waning crescent moon. Although
Device 900 receives a user input (e.g., movement 912 of the rotatable input mechanism), and in response to receiving the user input, the device rotates the simulation of the Moon to display the Moon as seen from the Earth at a non-current time, as shown on screen 920 by affordance 922, which represents the Moon at a non-current time, which is indicated by updated fifth affordance 924. A non-current time may be within the current month or in a different month.
This is somewhat analogous to the user interaction with the simulation of the Earth described for
In some embodiments, a user may rotate the representation of the Moon and view corresponding times by swiping the touch-sensitive display. In some embodiments, the user input may include a swipe on the touch-sensitive display in a first swipe direction. In some embodiments, in response to receiving the user input, the simulation of the Moon as seen from the Earth is rotated in a first direction of rotation. In some embodiments, the first direction of rotation may be based at least in part on the first swipe direction. As used herein, a rotation of the Moon may include a rotation of the Moon on its axis to depict a different region of the Moon (e.g., a region of the Moon not visible from the Earth) and/or updating the appearance of the Moon as viewed from Earth at a particular time of interest, based on a rotation of the relative positions of the Moon, Earth, and Sun (e.g., updating the displayed lunar phase).
In some embodiments, the device receives a second user input, and in response to receiving the second user input, the device rotates the simulation of the Moon as seen from the Earth in a second direction of rotation that is different from the first direction. This user input could include, e.g., a swipe on the touch-sensitive display in a second swipe direction that is different from the first swipe direction.
This allows the user to direct both the direction of rotation of the Moon, and the time indicated by the fifth affordance, in response to swiping. For example, the user may swipe in one direction to rotate the Moon in a specific direction and view the Moon at later times in the month, and the user may swipe in another direction to rotate the Moon in an opposite direction and view the Moon at earlier times in the month.
In some embodiments, as shown in
In some embodiments, the device receives a second user input, and in response to receiving the second user input, the device rotates the simulation of the Moon as seen from the Earth in a second direction of rotation that is different from the first direction. This user input could include, e.g., a movement of the rotatable input mechanism in a second direction of rotation that is different from the first direction of rotation.
This allows the user to direct both the direction of rotation of the Moon, and the time indicated by the fifth affordance, in response to rotating the rotatable input mechanism. For example, the user may move the rotatable input mechanism in one direction to rotate the Moon in a specific direction and view the Moon at later times in the month, and the user may move the rotatable input mechanism in another direction to rotate the Moon in an opposite direction and view the Moon at earlier times in the month.
In any of the embodiments described herein, the displayed simulation of the Moon may indicate one or more additional lunar attributes, such as special moons (e.g., blue, black, or red moons, lunar eclipses, and so forth), the distance between the Moon and the Earth (as described above, e.g., for a supermoon), and/or moon wobble. In some embodiments, the additional lunar attribute(s) may be indicated by altering the appearance of the displayed simulation of the Moon (e.g., by changing the color, size, and/or tilt of the displayed simulation of the Moon). In some embodiments, the additional lunar attribute(s) may be indicated by text. In some embodiments, the additional lunar attribute(s) may correspond to the current lunar attribute(s). In some embodiments, the additional lunar attribute(s) may correspond to the lunar attribute(s) at the currently displayed date (e.g., if the user has rotated the Moon to view the Moon at earlier or later times in the month, as described above). For example, in some embodiments, while the simulation of the Moon is being rotated to depict the Moon at different times of the month or year, the simulation of the Moon may be updated to reflect one or more additional lunar attributes at the time currently indicated by the displayed simulation of the Moon.
In some embodiments, the device may display additional lunar information in response to a user input. The additional lunar information may be displayed, e.g., as part of screen 902 or 920, or on a user interface screen that replaces screen 902 or 920 (such as a lunar information application). Additional lunar information may include without limitation the name of the lunar phase, the distance from the Earth to the Moon, the time of moonrise and/or moonset (e.g., on the current day and/or at the user's current location), and the like. In some embodiments, the additional lunar information may correspond to the current lunar information (e.g., the current lunar phase, distance to the Moon, time of moonset/moonrise, etc.). In some embodiments, the additional lunar information may correspond to the lunar information of the currently displayed date, e.g., if the user has rotated the Moon to view the Moon at earlier or later times in the month, as described above.
For example, in some embodiments, the device may detect a user input (e.g., a user double tap on the touch-sensitive display, including a first contact on the touch-sensitive display and a second contact on the touch-sensitive display). In the exemplary embodiment and in response to the user double tap, the device may determine whether the first contact and the second contact were received within a predetermined interval. In response to detecting the user double tap, and in accordance with the determination that the first contact and the second contact were received within the predetermined interval, the device may display additional lunar information.
In some embodiments, the user interface screen, after updating the display to show the simulation of the Moon, displays an affordance indicating an earth (e.g., 910 or 928). Upon contacting the earth affordance, the user may return to the context-specific user interface described in reference to
In some embodiments, device 900 displays on the user interface screen a sixth affordance representing a solar system (as depicted by affordances 810, 828, 848, 908, and 926). In some embodiments, the sixth affordance may be a graphical or stylized representation of a solar system such as an icon, symbol, or a text indicating a solar system. In some embodiments, the sixth affordance may be a realistic rendering of the solar system.
Device 900 detects a contact on the displayed sixth affordance, and in response to detecting the contact, the device updates the display of the user interface screen by displaying a seventh affordance with representations of the Sun, the Earth, and one or more non-Earth planets at their respective positions at the current time and an eighth affordance indicating the current time. In some embodiments, updating the display of the user interface screen includes animating the first affordance representing the simulation of the first region of the Earth as illuminated by the Sun or animating the fourth affordance representing a simulation of the Moon as seen from the Earth by zooming out. This animation allows the user to recognize that the astronomical scale and/or perspective has changed.
This transitions the user from viewing information about the current time within the current month using a simulation of the Moon to viewing information about the current time within the current year using a simulation of the solar system. Whereas the context-specific user interface described in reference to
As described above, device 1000 is device 800 and/or device 900 with an updated display. Device 1000 displays screen 1002, which includes seventh affordance 1004. Seventh affordance 1004 includes representation of the Sun 1006, representation of the Earth 1008, and representations of Mercury, Venus, and Saturn (e.g., Saturn is depicted by planet 1010). 1006, 1008, and 1010 are depicted at their respective positions at the current date (in this example, May 25, 2014), indicated by eighth affordance 1012. In some embodiments, eighth affordance 1012 also indicates the current time of day.
Optionally, in some embodiments, the solar system depicts all 8 planets. In some embodiments, the solar system depicts the four inner planets. In some embodiments, the solar system depicts other astronomical features, such as an asteroid or asteroid belt, one or more moons of one or more planets (e.g., the Moon), a manmade satellite or other space probe, a comet, Pluto, and so forth.
Device 1000 receives a seventh user input (e.g., movement 1018 of the rotatable input mechanism). In response, device 1000 updates the seventh affordance to depict respective positions of the Sun, the Earth, and the one or more non-Earth planets for a non-current date. This is depicted by seventh affordance 1022 on screen 1020. Seventh affordance 1022 includes representation of the Sun 1024, representation of the Earth 1026, and representations of Mercury, Venus, and Saturn (e.g., Saturn is depicted by planet 1028) at their respective positions at the non-current date, which is Nov. 25, 2014, as depicted by eighth affordance 1030. In some embodiments, eighth affordance 1030 also indicates the current time of day.
This context-specific user interface allows the user to access information about the relative positions of the Earth and one or more non-Earth planets at a non-current date, which may be within the current year or in a different year. In some embodiments, the Sun, the Earth, and the one or more non-Earth planets are depicted as realistic renderings. In some embodiments, the Sun, the Earth, and the one or more non-Earth planets are depicted as stylized or symbolic renderings.
In some embodiments, a user may rotate the representation of the solar system by swiping on the touch-sensitive display. Thus, in some embodiments, the user input may include a swipe on the touch-sensitive display. In some embodiments, in response to detecting a swipe, the Earth and the one or more non-Earth planets are rotated about the Sun in a first direction of rotation. In some embodiments, the first direction of rotation may be based at least in part on the first swipe direction.
In some embodiments, in response to detecting a swipe on the touch-sensitive display in a different direction, the device rotates the Earth and the one or more non-Earth planets about the Sun in a second direction of rotation that is different from the first direction. This allows the user to direct both the direction of rotation of the Earth and the one or more non-Earth planets, and the time indicated by the eighth affordance, in response to swiping. For example, the user may swipe in one direction to rotate the Earth and the one or more non-Earth planets in a specific direction and view the Earth and the one or more non-Earth planets at later dates during the year (or in a different year), and the user may swipe in another direction to rotate the Earth and the one or more non-Earth planets in an opposite direction and view the Earth and the one or more non-Earth planets at earlier dates during the year (or in a different year).
In some embodiments, as shown in
In some embodiments, the device receives a second user input, and in response to receiving the second user input, the device rotates the Earth and the one or more non-Earth planets about the Sun in a second direction of rotation that is different from the first direction. This user input could include, e.g., a movement of the rotatable input mechanism in a second direction of rotation that is different from the first direction of rotation.
This allows the user to direct both the direction of rotation of the Earth and the one or more non-Earth planets, and the time indicated by the eighth affordance, in response to rotating the rotatable input mechanism. For example, the user may move the rotatable input mechanism in one direction to rotate the Earth and the one or more non-Earth planets in a specific direction and view the Earth and the one or more non-Earth planets at later times in the year, and the user may move the rotatable input mechanism in another direction to rotate the Earth and the one or more non-Earth planets in an opposite direction and view the Earth and the one or more non-Earth planets at earlier times in the year.
In some embodiments, the representation of the Earth may further include a representation of the orbit of the Earth around the Sun. In some embodiments, the representation of the one or more non-Earth planets may further include a representation of the orbit of the one or more non-Earth planets around the Sun. The representation of an orbit may be a graphical representation, such as a line or ring. In some embodiments, the representation of the orbit may be stylized. In some embodiments, the representation of the orbit may be based on the actual dimensions of the planet's orbit around the Sun.
In some embodiments, the user may contact the touch-sensitive display at a location associated with the representation of the Earth or the one or more non-Earth planets. For example, the contact may be at or near the displayed representation of the planet itself, or the contact may be at or near the displayed representation of the planet's orbit. In some embodiments, the device may determine the selected planet based on a determination of the displayed representation of a planet or the displayed representation of a planet's orbit nearest to the location of the contact. In some embodiments, the contact may be a press and hold-type contact on the display. Upon detecting the contact, the device may visually distinguish the representation of the selected planet and/or the representation of the selected planet's orbit (e.g., by altering the color and/or brightness of the displayed planet and/or orbit, by displaying an outline or other visual demarcation of the planet and/or orbit, by animation the planet and/or orbit, etc.). In some embodiments, while continuing to receive the contact, the device may determine whether the duration of the contact exceeds a predetermined threshold and, in accordance with a determination that the contact exceeds the predetermined threshold, the device may visually distinguish the representation of the selected planet and/or the representation of the selected planet's orbit. When the user lets go of the contact, the device may display information about the selected planet. Such information may include, without limitation, the size of the planet, the distance (e.g., current distance, average distance, etc.) between the planet and the Sun, the distance (e.g., current distance, average distance, etc.) between the planet and the Earth (if the selected planet is not the Earth), a time and/or location in the sky when the planet will be visible from the Earth (if the selected planet is not the Earth), a temperature on the surface of the planet, the number of moons orbiting the planet, the number and/or identity of any spacecraft currently orbiting or near the planet, a description of the planet (e.g., whether the planet is terrestrial or gas, the date of discovery of the planet, information about the planet's name, and the like), a time (past, present, or future) of a particular alignment of the planet with another object in the solar system, and so forth.
After viewing the information about the planet, the user may wish to dismiss the information or view information about another planet. In some embodiments, the user may tap to dismiss the information or swipe to select another planet. For example, a swipe in a first direction may select the next planet whose orbit is farther from the Sun, relative to the previous planet, and a swipe in the opposite direction may select the next planet whose orbit is nearer to the sun, relative to the previous planet. In some embodiments, after displaying the information about the Earth or the one or more non-Earth planets associated with the contact, the device may receive a user input and determine whether the user input represents a tap or a swipe on the touch-sensitive display (e.g., by using contact/motion module 130 to detect the user gesture). In accordance with a determination that the user input represents a tap, the device may remove the displayed information about the planet. In accordance with a determination that the user input represents a swipe, the device may replace the displayed information about the planet with information about a second planet different from the first planet (e.g., a planet not associated with the user contact).
In some embodiments, the user interface screen, after updating the display to show the simulation of the solar system, displays an affordance indicating a moon (e.g., 1016 or 1034) and/or an affordance indicating an earth (e.g., 1014 or 1032). In some embodiments, the moon and/or the earth affordance may be a graphical or stylized representation of an earth or moon such as an icon, symbol, or a text. In some embodiments, the moon and/or the earth affordance may be a realistic rendering of the Moon or the Earth. Upon contacting the earth affordance, the user may return to the context-specific user interface described in reference to
In some embodiments of any of the context specific-user interfaces illustrated in
In some embodiments, a user may move the rotatable input mechanism to scroll the indication(s) of time displayed on screen 802, 820, and/or 840. In response to detecting the movement of the rotatable input mechanism (e.g., movement 830), the device may update the displayed representation of the Earth, for example by simulating a rotation of the Earth, to display the Earth as illuminated by the Sun at a different time of day (compare 822 and 842). In some embodiments, the device may update the displayed indication of time to show a different time (compare 824 and 844). Similarly, as shown in
In some embodiments of any of the context specific-user interfaces illustrated in
A user may wish to view the time of day in the context of daytime and nighttime hours. For example, a user may wish to know the time of dawn or dusk, or access a simple, visual indication of how much time is left before sunset.
As shown in
Through the course of the day, 1114 displays the current time (in this example, 5:30 am), and first affordance 1110 tracks along the sinusoidal wave. When 1110 is in daytime portion 1104, the current time is during daytime. When 1110 is in nighttime portion 1106, the current time is in nighttime. At 5:30 am, it is just before dawn, as first affordance 1110 is still in the nighttime portion of screen 1102. The features of this context-specific user interface provide the user a simple and intuitive way to track the current time and understand how long it is until, for example, sunset, or sunrise. In some embodiments, the affordance representing the sun appears hollow (e.g., like a ring) when at a position fully within the nighttime portion (e.g., 1106) of the display, as shown by first affordance 1110. This further reinforces to the user that it is currently before dawn.
For example, screen 1120 shows a second time of day and includes first affordance 1122, sinusoidal wave 1124, and second affordance 1126. As indicated by second affordance 1126, it is now sunrise at 7:00 am. The position of first affordance 1122 along wave 1124 is between the first portion and the second portion, indicating the transition from nighttime to daytime. This is further depicted on screen 1120 by positioning affordance 1122 on line 1128, which separates the two portions of the display. This is yet further indicated by the appearance of affordance 1122 itself, which, optionally, may be half-filled when the affordance is at a position intersecting the first and second portions of the display.
Screen 1130 shows a third time of day and includes first affordance 1132, sinusoidal wave 1134, and second affordance 1136. As indicated by second affordance 1136, it is now 2:00 pm. The position of first affordance 1132 along wave 1134 is within the first portion of the display, indicating daytime. This is further depicted by the appearance of affordance 1132 itself, which, optionally, may be filled when the affordance is at a position fully within the first portion.
In some embodiments, the color of the first and/or the second portion(s) may indicate daytime (e.g., with a warm or bright color) or nighttime (e.g., with a dark or cool color). In some embodiments, the first and second portions may be the same color, which may be representative of the current light conditions. In these embodiments, the user may still be able to tell the current light conditions through the sinusoidal wave, optional horizon line, and/or optional appearance of the sun affordance (e.g., filled, half-filled, or hollow). In some embodiments, the sinusoidal wave may include two or more colors, and these colors may indicate the daytime and nighttime portions (e.g., parts of the wave in the daytime portion may be one color, and parts of the wave in the nighttime portion may be another). Moreover, the two portions may be of any shape (not limited to rectangular). For example, the daytime portion may appear as an illuminated circle that encompasses the sinusoidal wave, with the nighttime portion appearing all around the circle.
In some embodiments, device 1100 may have a location sensor (e.g., GPS sensor 532 and/or GPS module 135). In these embodiments, device 1100 may obtain a current location of the device from the location sensor and indicate daytime and nighttime hours at the current location at the current time through the ratio of the displayed first and second portions. That is to say, the size of the daytime and nighttime portions of the display may be adjusted, relative to daytime hours at the current location and date. As an illustrative example, if the current location is near the Arctic Circle during summer, the daytime portion may include all or nearly all of the screen, such that all or nearly all of the displayed sinusoidal wave is within the daytime portion. As another example, if the user were to travel latitudinally across the globe, the position of affordance 1110, 1122, or 1132 (for example) would not change, but the ratio of daytime:nighttime portions and relative amount of the sinusoidal wave within each would be adjusted to reflect the current location. This provides a more realistic depiction of the time of day to the user, thus enhancing the user interface.
In some embodiments, the amplitude of the displayed sinusoidal wave is based on the height of the Sun relative to the horizon at the current location and current time. For example, the wave may flatten or otherwise decrease in amplitude to reflect the sun having a lower path through the sky at the location and current day (e.g., in locations more proximal to the poles in winter).
Attention is now directed to
As detected by device 1100, the user touches first affordance 1142 and drags the affordance to a second position along the sinusoidal wave in a continuous gesture (as indicated by touch 1166). In response, as shown on screen 1160, device 1100 displays first affordance 1162 at the second position along sinusoidal wave 1164. Device 1100 also updates the second affordance 1168 to indicate a non-current time. This new time (12:09) corresponds to the time of day indicated by the second position of affordance 1162. Thus, the user is able to view the time of day represented by any position along the sinusoidal wave by simply moving affordance 1148 and/or 1166.
It is to be noted that the movement of the contact may begin and end at positions on the sinusoidal wave, but the movement itself need not precisely track the sinusoidal wave. That is, the user is not required to track the contact precisely along the sinusoidal wave. The device may simply receive a user contact at the displayed first affordance, and, while continuing to receive the user contact, detect a movement of the contact from the first position to a second position without a break in the user contact on the touch-sensitive display (e.g., the user does not lift their finger off the touch-sensitive display).
In response to detecting the contact at the second position, the device may translate the first affordance on-screen to the second position while tracking the sinusoidal wave. Thus, while the user contact does not need to track the sinusoidal wave, the device nonetheless translates the first affordance from the first position to the second position by tracking the first affordance along the sinusoidal wave. In some embodiments, the device may continuously update the time, as indicated by the second affordance. Alternatively, the device may update the time indicated by the second affordance when the continuous contact has come to rest at the second position. In alternative embodiment, after detecting the contact at the first position, the device may translate the first affordance on-screen to the second position on the sinusoidal wave in response to a rotation of a rotatable input mechanism.
Also displayed on screen 1140 in response to receiving user touch 1148 at affordance 1142 are affordances 1156 and 1158. Affordances 1156 and 1158 are displayed along wave 1144 at positions corresponding to dawn and dusk, respectively. In some embodiments, these affordances are also displayed while device 1100 receives user contact at the second position. These displayed affordances indicate to the user when first and last light will occur, allowing the user to visually gauge when they will occur, or how long ago they occurred, by the distance from affordance 1142. In some embodiments, the time of dawn may be astronomical dawn, nautical dawn, or civil dawn. In some embodiments, the time of dusk may be astronomical dusk, nautical dusk, or civil dusk.
In some embodiments, device 1100 detects a contact at the displayed first affordance, a movement of the contact, and a break in contact. In response to detecting the break in contact, the device may translate the first affordance back to the position indicating the current time and update the second affordance to indicate the current time. This allows the user to drag the affordance to a position of interest, view the indicated time for that position, and by releasing the contact, “snap back” to the current position.
The user may also contact the touch-sensitive display with touch 1188 on screen 1180. This contact may be, for example, at any position on the display besides the position of the first affordance representing the sun at the current time. In response to detecting the contact, device 1100 displays screen 1190, which includes sunrise time 1192, sunset time 1194, and affordance 1196, which provides a non-textual indication of daytime and nighttime. This allows the user to access sunrise and sunset times from any user interface screen.
The user may also set a reminder for a time of day through this context-specific user interface. For example, if the device has a rotatable input mechanism (e.g., 506), the user may rotate the rotatable input mechanism to set the reminder. In response to detecting a movement of the rotatable input mechanism, the device may translate the first affordance to a third position indicating a non-current time of day. The user may contact the first affordance displayed at the third position, and in response to detecting the contact, the device may set a user reminder for the indicated time of day.
For example, the device may display another affordance representing a user prompt to set an alert for the indicated time of day. The reminder could be a visual alert. In this example, the device may display a visual alert that is displayed when the time of day is approaching. Alternatively, the device may display at any time a visual affordance that shows the third position along the sinusoidal wave to help the user understand how far the indicated time of day is from the current time. In some embodiments, the user reminder could include an audio alert that audibly notifies the user when the indicated time of day has arrived or will arrive shortly. In some embodiments, the user reminder could include a haptic alert. The device may create a haptic signal to the user when the indicated time of day is approaching (e.g., using haptic feedback module 133 and tactile output generator 167).
These features allow the user to further customize this context-specific user interface. It is to be appreciated that this feature does not create a specific alert at a time and date; rather, it allows the user to set a generic alert for a time of day that is not tied to a specific date. For example, a user may notice a certain lighting effect, such as sunlight through a window in their house, and wish to set a reminder so that they can view this effect at the time of day when it occurs. Within the context of daytime/nighttime information, this allows the user to customize the user interface to include not only sunrise, sunset, dawn, dusk, and so forth, but also a time of day that they wish to designate.
A user may wish to view a certain background image on the user interface screen while retaining as much of the original image as possible. Therefore, it may be advantageous to provide a context-specific user interface that displays the time and/or date not simply as interface objects displayed over the image, but rather interface objects that appear to arise from the image itself, thereby maximizing the user's view of the image while still providing visible indications of the time and date. This may be particularly true if the user interface is displayed on a reduced-size display.
As shown in
As used here, consistent with its accepted meaning in the art, the phrase “background” refers to the background of a user interface screen that is visually distinguishable from text and user interface objects also displayed in the user interface screen. Basing a background on an image simply means displaying the image as a background of a displayed screen. In some cases, the image and the background may be identical. In other cases, displaying the image as a background may involve modifying one or more aspects of the image to fit on the display, such as image size, image cropping, image resolution, and so forth.
Screen 1202 also includes user interface objects 1206 and 1208. 1206 indicates a date (the 23rd), whereas 1208 indicates a time of day (10:09). In some embodiments, the device may indicate the current date and/or the current time of day.
Displayed background 1204 includes a plurality of pixels. A subset of these pixels is modified in appearance relative to the image such that the subset comes to represent one or more of user interface object 1206 and user interface object 1208. That is to say, at least one of these user interface objects is displayed by modifying the background. For example, the subset of pixels may be modified by changing color and/or intensity.
In some embodiments, the subset of the pixels may be modified by color blending. In some embodiments, the subset of the pixels may be modified by color blurring. In some embodiments, the subset of the pixels may be modified by applying a gradient. Importantly, these examples illustrate that the appearance of the subset of the pixels may be influenced by both the background image at the position of the user interface object(s) and the user interface object(s) themselves. This allows the user to view the image more clearly (since the user interface object(s) are not simply displayed on top of and obstructing the image), while also maintaining the legibility of the user interface object(s).
In some embodiments, one of user interface objects 1206 and 1208 is displayed by modifying the background, and the other is displayed independent of the background (e.g., a set color and/or intensity not produced by modifying the background pixel subset). In these embodiments, the device may receive data representing a background color at the position of the displayed user interface object (e.g., 1206 or 1208), and the color of the displayed user interface object may be different from this background color (e.g., a different color and/or intensity). For example, a background color at the position of the displayed user interface object may include the most prevalent color at that position. This feature ensures that, if one of the user interface objects is a preset color, it will be displayed legibly on the background, no matter the appearance of the background.
In some embodiments, the image on which the background is based may be stored on device 1200.
In other embodiments, the image on which the background is based may be stored on an external device that is coupled to device 1200 via wireless communication (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth™, near field communication (“NFC”), or any of the other cellular and/or other wireless communication techniques described herein). In these embodiments, before displaying screen 1202, device 1200 may receive (via wireless communication) data representing the background from the external device. Using these data, device 1200 may then display the background.
Optionally, when the image is stored on an external device, device 1200 may display a background based on the current background of the external device. For example, the device may receive (via wireless communication) data representing a current background from the external device and display a user interface screen that includes a background corresponding with the current background of the external devices. The device then modifies a subset of the pixels of the background from the external device to represent one or more of a user interface object indicating a date and a user interface object indicating a time of day. In some embodiments, device 1200 may further alter the background from the external device, for example, by changing one or more of the image size, image cropping, image resolution, and the like, particularly if the external device and device 1200 have different display dimensions and/or resolutions.

Optionally, as shown in
As shown on
A variety of user inputs may serve as the user input to change the background. In some embodiments, the user input may be a touch on the display, a rotation of a rotatable input mechanism, a depression of a depressible and rotatable input mechanism, or a swipe on the display. In some embodiments, the user input may be a user movement of the electronic device (e.g., a movement of the device such as raising of the user's wrist, if the device is wearable, or other movement indicative that the user is viewing the display). Advantageously, this feature enables the device to display a different image each time the display is viewed, thereby providing the user with a customized display at each viewing and enhancing the user interaction with the device. As described above, a user movement of the device could be detected, for example, by using an accelerometer (e.g., 534), a gyroscope (e.g., 536), a motion sensor (e.g., 538), and/or a combination thereof.
In some embodiments, the user may choose to exclude an image from the folder so that it is no longer selected as a background. In these examples, the device may receive data representing a user prohibition of an image from the folder. Such a prohibition may be received through the user interface shown in
A user may wish to view a displayed animation on an electronic device in response to an input. Because a user may look at an electronic device many times per day, particularly if the user relies on the device for timekeeping, it may be advantageous to provide the user a different experience each time the display is viewed. This keeps the user interested and engaged with the electronic device.
As shown in
Later in the day, as shown in
Device 1300 then animates butterfly 1336 by sequentially displaying three animated sequences. Butterfly 1336 on screen 1330 is animated using the same sequence as butterfly 1308 on screen 1302, showing the butterfly opening its wings. Next, screen 1340 shows butterfly 1334, which is animated to fly from left to right on the display. The animated sequence of butterfly 1334 is different from the animated sequence of butterfly 1314 on screen 1310 (data representing the sequence of butterfly 1314 had previously been accessed). This ensures that the user will view a different animation, as compared to the last user input. This makes the animation appear more realistic and/or engaging to the user, as this variation imparts a more random, lifelike quality to the animated user interface object.
Finally, screen 1350 shows butterfly 1354, which is animated using the same sequence (a butterfly closing its wings) as butterfly 1324 on screen 1320. Screens 1340 and 1350 also include user interface objects 1342 and 1342, respectively, which indicate the time.
The animated user interface object may be an animal, such as a butterfly or jellyfish, or it may be a plant, like a flower. In some embodiments, it may be a non-living object, single-celled organism, cartoon, human, and so forth. This context-specific user interface is not limited by the particular animated user interface object. The animated sequences may be specific to the displayed objects. For example, a jellyfish may swim across the screen in various directions, a flower may open, close, or be blown about the wind, and so on.
As illustrated by comparing butterfly 1308 to butterfly 1324, or butterfly 1336 to butterfly 1354, the third animated sequence may be based on a reverse of the first animated sequence. For example, if the first sequence depicts a butterfly opening its wings, the third sequence may depict a butterfly closing its wings. Since these sequences bookend the full animated sequence, this feature imparts a cohesive feel to the entire sequence. In some embodiments, the state of the user interface object at the beginning of the first animated sequence (e.g., butterfly 1308 has closed wings, which are then animated to open) corresponds with the state of the user interface object at the end of the third animated sequence (e.g., butterfly 1324 is animated to end on closed wings), thereby providing the user with the impression of one seamless animation.
A variety of user inputs may serve as the user input to display the screens exemplified in
In some embodiments, the user interface object displayed in response to user input may be the same after each input. In some embodiments, the user interface object could be different each time. For example, a user interface object may be reflected (e.g., about a horizontal and/or a vertical axis), flipped, and/or rotated to create a new user interface object. This is a source of variety for the displayed user interface object and the animated sequences. For example, rotating a single object horizontally, vertically, and horizontally and vertically creates four new objects, which when coupled with an animation that directs the movement of the object creates even more variations. These aspects add combinatorial possibilities which greatly increase the number of available animations for a single object, thus reducing the number of pre-programmed animated sequences. It also helps animate objects with fewer intrinsic features and/or movements, such as a jellyfish.
The user may also change the displayed user interface object. For example, device 1300 may detect a contact on the touch-sensitive display, and in response, device 1300 may substitute the displayed user interface object with a second user interface object. This second user interface object may be related to the first (e.g., the user could select an orange butterfly if the previous one was blue).
In some embodiments, as shown in
A user may wish to keep time with an interactive clock face. For example, a user may wish to view an animation with each viewing of the display, or view a clock face that changes color, to keep the interaction with the device interesting. A user may wish to customize the clock face with a personalized complication, like a monogram, or a personalized widget for displaying application data.
As shown in
On screen 1440, device 1400 displays clock face outline 1442, hour and minute hand 1444, and twelve hour indications, as represented by 12 o'clock indication 1446. On screen 1450, device 1400 displays clock face outline 1452, hour and minute hand 1454, twelve hour indications (as represented by 12 o'clock indication 1456), minute indications 1458, and monogram 1460, which is described in greater detail below. Therefore, as exemplified in
Two types of hour indications are depicted in
In some embodiments, the clock face may include a color. Features such as the background of the clock face, clock face outline, seconds hand, hour indication(s), minute indication(s), hour hand, minute hand, and so forth may be displayed in any color. In some embodiments, device 1400 updates a color displayed on the clock face over time by continuously changing the color, so that the user perceives time passing through color change. This color may be, e.g., a background color, the color of the clock face itself, and/or the color of the seconds hand (e.g., the entire seconds hand, or a portion of the seconds hand, such as a pointer, dot, or other optional feature). As an illustrative example, the color may cycle through a gradient of colors, with the full cycle lasting a minute, an hour, a day, etc.
In some embodiments, device 1400 may detect a user movement of the device. As described above, a user movement of the device could be detected, for example, by using an accelerometer (e.g., 534), a gyroscope (e.g., 536), a motion sensor (e.g., 538), and/or a combination thereof. A user movement of the electronic device could include movements such as a movement of the device such as raising of the user's wrist, if the device is wearable, or other movement indicative that the user is viewing the display. In response to detecting the user movement, device 1400 may display a different color (e.g., a background color, the color of the clock face itself, and/or the color of the seconds hand). In some embodiments, this feature may be used to allow the user to change a static color displayed on the clock face. In other embodiments, this feature may be used to allow the user to change a continuously changing color, as exemplified above.
In some embodiments, device 1400 may display a complication on the clock face (e.g., within the clock face itself, or adjacent to the clock face on the display). As used here, consistent with its accepted meaning in art, a complication refers to any clock face feature other than those used to indicate the hours and minutes of a time (e.g., clock hands or hour/minute indications). For example, an affordance may be displayed as a clock face. As will be described in greater detail below, the affordance may represent an application, and in response to detecting a contact on the affordance, device 1400 may launch the application represented by the affordance.
Returning now to
Users rely on personal electronic devices to keep time throughout the day. It is becoming increasingly desirable to present the user with interactive user interfaces that promote user interaction with a personal electronic device. Indicating the time through a character-based user interface may enhance a user's interaction with the device. Increasing the level of interactivity of a character and improving the impression of natural motion displayed by a character improve the character's lifelike appearance, thereby enhancing and prolonging user interactions with the device. Enabling the character-based interface to not only keep time, but also provide information related to other events, further enhances user interactions with the device by conveying a more lifelike and interactive character-based user interface.
Accordingly, provided herein are context-specific user interfaces that include a character user interface object. A user may wish for such character-based user interface objects to adopt a more natural and lifelike appearance. Further, a user may wish for the character-based user interface object to act in a more dynamic manner, to interact with the user, and/or to provide event-related information to a user.
Device 14000 may display a character user interface object such as character user interface object 14604 on the display. Character user interface object 14604 has representations of limbs 14606 and 14608. As shown on user interface screen 14602, character user interface object 14604 may indicate a time, for example 7:50, through the positions of limbs 14606 and 14608.
A character user interface object may include any representation of a character, for example a human or anthropomorphized character. In some embodiments, a character may be a cartoon figure. In some embodiments, a character may be a realistic figure. In some embodiments, a character may be a human, animal, plant, other organism, or other object. In some embodiments a character may be a popularized character, such as a cartoon character.
Character user interface object 14604 may indicate time by indicating an hour with a first limb (e.g., limb 14606) and by indicating a minute with a second limb (e.g., limb 14608). In some embodiments, the character user interface object may be a static image that is updatable for different times. In some embodiments, the character user interface object may be animated and may depict movement. For example, the character user interface object may be animated to represent blinking of eyes, shifting its weight, and/or changing an expression (e.g., facial expression).
As described herein, a character user interface object may indicate a time through varying degrees of precision. As shown in
Any of the user interface screens described herein may further include one or more complications, such as indications of a date, a stopwatch, a chronograph, an alarm, and the like.
In addition, limbs of a character user interface object may indicate time to a user in various ways. For example, a limb (e.g., an arm or a leg) may indicate a time by its relative position on the display, or by “pointing” to a position on the display along a vector. A limb may also indicate a time by displaying an indicator of direction, such as a representation of a finger that indicates a position on the display corresponding to a time, either through its relative position or by pointing along a vector, as described above. A limb need not be precise in indicating a time.
Device 14000 may update the character user interface object to indicate a second time by reversing the roles of the first and second limbs, i.e., by indicating a second hour with the second limb and a second minute with the first limb. For example,
As shown on user interface screen 14610, character user interface object 14612 is indicating a time, for example 8:20, through the positions of limbs 14614 and 14616. Comparing character user interface object 14604 and 14612, both have a first limb (limb 14606 and limb 14614, respectively) and a second limb (limb 14608 and limb 14616, respectively). However, character user interface object 14604's first limb (limb 14606) is indicating an hour, whereas character user interface object 14612's first limb (limb 14614) is indicating a minute. Similarly, character user interface object 14604's second limb (limb 14608) is indicating a minute, whereas character user interface object 14612's second limb (limb 14616) is indicating an hour.
In some embodiments, device 14000 may update the user interface object to indicate a second time by extending the first limb and retracting the second limb. As a user may be accustomed to a standard clock face, wherein the hour hand is shorter than the minute hand, altering the extension and/or retraction of the limbs when reversing their roles may make it easier for the user to keep track of the indicated times.
Allowing a character user interface object to indicate time using limbs with reversible roles increases the flexibility for displaying the character user interface object by allowing the character to maintain a natural appearance at all times. Otherwise, if the roles of the limbs were fixed, the character might contort in an awkward way at certain times of day, for example, between 12:30 and 12:40. Enabling the character to switch roles of the limbs affords more options for character postures and positions that may represent a more natural appearance, thereby enhancing the user's interactions with the device by portraying a more lifelike character user interface object.
Turning now to
It is understood that descriptions of mechanical motions (e.g., limb motion) used herein encompass displaying representations or simulations of mechanical motion.
Device 14000 may display a character user interface object such as character user interface object 14704 on the display. Character user interface object 14704 has a representation of a limb 14706. As shown on user interface screen 14702, character user interface object 14704 may indicate a time, for example an hour such as 12, through the position of limb 14706. In some embodiments, the character user interface object may be a static image that is updatable for different times. In some embodiments, the character user interface object may be animated and may depict movement.
Limb 14706 has a first endpoint 14708 at a first position that serves as a representation of an axis of rotation for limb 14706. That is, the position of limb 14706 may be displayed or animated so as to represent rotation about endpoint 14708 to display different times of day. Limb 14706 also has a second endpoint 14710 at a second position that indicates a time value. In some embodiments, a time value may be an hour, a minute, and/or a second.
Device 14000 may update character user interface object 14704 to indicate a second time value by moving first endpoint 14708 to a third position, and moving second endpoint 14710 to a fourth position to indicate a second time value. Importantly, while first endpoint 14708 serves as an axis of rotation for limb 14706, first endpoint 14708 itself may also move to indicate time. Therefore, limb 14706 is able to adopt more natural postures because its positioning is afforded more flexibility. This enhances the lifelike appearance of the character.
As an example, user interface screen 14720 shows character user interface object 14722 with limb 14724 having first endpoint 14726 and second endpoint 14728. Character user interface object 14722 may be an updated display of character user interface object 14704. Comparing user interface screens 14702 and 14720, in particular limb 14706 and limb 14724, the position of the first endpoint has been updated, as reflected by the positions of first endpoints 14708 and 14726. First endpoint 14726 is at the third position, and second endpoint 14728 is at a fourth position to indicate the second time. As shown on user interface screens 14702 and 14720, limb 14706 has been updated to limb 14724 by (i) moving the position of first endpoint and (ii) rotating the limb at the axis of rotation.
In some embodiments, a character user interface object may include a representation of a second limb, such as second limb 14712. Like the first limb, second limb 14712 also has a first endpoint 14714 that is an axis of rotation for second limb 14712 and a second endpoint 14716. The position of second endpoint 14716 may indicate a third time value. For example, limb 14706 may indicate an hour value and limb 14712 may indicate a minute value. Device 14000 may update character user interface object 14704 to indicate a fourth time value by moving first endpoint 14714 of the second limb 14712 to a third position, and by moving second endpoint 14716 to a fourth position to indicate a second time value. This is depicted on user interface screen 14720, which depicts second limb 14730 with first endpoint 14732 at the third position and second endpoint 14734 at the fourth position.
As described above, first and second limbs of a character user interface object may each have two endpoints that may each change their position. In some embodiments, the first limb is connected to a torso at a first shoulder, and the second limb is connected to the torso at a second shoulder. In some embodiments, the torso connects the movements of each limb by each shoulder, such that a position of one shoulder may affect a position of the other shoulder. This feature adds to the lifelike and natural appearance of the character by coordinating or otherwise inter-relating the movements of both limbs, as with a living body.
Device 14000 may display a character user interface object such as character user interface object 14804 on the display. Character user interface object 14804 has a representation of a limb 14806. As shown on user interface screen 14802, character user interface object 14804 may indicate a time, for example an hour such as 12, through the position of limb 14806.
Limb 14806 has a first segment 14808 with a first endpoint 14810 at one end and a joint 14812 at the other. First endpoint 14810 has a first position. Limb 14806 also has a second segment 14814 with a second endpoint 14816 at one end and joint 14812 at the other. Therefore, first segment 14808 and second segment 14814 connect at joint 14812, which is an axis of rotation for second segment 14814. Second endpoint 14816 at the end of second segment 14814 (and hence, at one end of limb 14806) has a second position and indicates a first time value, for example an hour such as 12.
Device 14000 may update character user interface object 14804 to indicate a second time value by moving second endpoint 14814 along the axis of rotation to a third position to indicate the second time. Described in anthropomorphic terms, limb 14806 has representations of an upper arm 14808 and a forearm 14814 joined at an elbow 14812. Forearm 14814 may rotate at the elbow 14812 to indicate a different time. Adding a joint to a limb that indicates time is analogous to a hand of a clock, except that the arm is more natural looking than a clock hand because it includes a joint. Further, the joint enhances the potential range of motions that may be depicted by the limb.
User interface screen 14820 illustrates this by displaying character user interface object 14822 with limb 14824. In some embodiments, character user interface object may be the same object as character user interface object 14804 but in a different posture. Limb 14824 has a first endpoint 14826, first segment 14828, and joint 14830. Joint 14830 is connected to second segment 14832, which has second endpoint 14824. As demonstrated by comparing the features of character user interface objects 14804 and 14822, second endpoint 14834 is at a different position than second endpoint 14816, thus indicating a different time. This change in position is accomplished by rotating the second segment at the joint.
In some embodiments, moving the second endpoint may include depicting static images of the second endpoint at the first and third positions. In some embodiments, moving the second endpoint may include animating the character user interface object to translate the motion of the second endpoint on-screen.
In some embodiments, updating the character user interface object may include moving the first endpoint. As shown by user interface screen 14802 to user interface screen 14820, first endpoint 14810 may be moved to change the display of time, e.g., as shown by first endpoint 14826. Therefore, the character user interface object may have a limb that, in the arm analogy above, may rotate the upper arm at the shoulder, may move the shoulder itself, and may rotate the forearm at the elbow.
These features allow the character user interface object to assume a wider range of natural and lifelike postures with which to indicate time. If these features are animated on-screen, this allows the character to simulate the motion of a moving figure such as a person. This greatly improves user interaction with and connection to the device by more accurately simulating a moving figure like a person. It allows for both subtle and dynamic movements, giving the character a wider range of expressions that help simulate a personality of the character. Therefore, the character ceases to be a simple aggregation of two character-like clock hands that can only tell time and becomes more like an actual character that can express a personality, thereby enhancing the user's experiences with the device.
In some embodiments, the character user interface object (e.g., character user interface object 14804 and/or 14822) also includes a representation of a second limb, such as second limb 14818 as shown on user interface screen 14802 or second limb 14836 as shown on user interface screen 14820. As described above in reference to the first limb, a second limb may include a first segment connecting a first endpoint of the second limb to a joint and a second segment connecting a second segment to the joint. The first endpoint of the second limb may be at a first position, and the second endpoint of the second segment may be at a second position. The joint may serve as an axis of rotation for the second segment, which may indicate a third time value. Device 14000 may update the character user interface object by moving the second endpoint of the second limb along the axis of rotation at the joint to indicate a fourth time value.
In some embodiments, the first limb indicates an hour and the second limb indicates a minute. In some embodiments, the first limb indicates a minute and the second limb indicates an hour. The first limb and the second limb may be distinguished, for example, by length, as with traditional clock hands. The first limb and the second limb may be distinguished, for example, by the distance between the first and second endpoints. For example, one limb may be bent or the shoulder may be positioned such that, even though it may not be shorter than another limb, it appears shorter or otherwise distinct from another limb. The first limb and the second limb may be distinguished, for example, by the distance between the second endpoint and another object on the display, such as a numerical indication of time.
In some embodiments, updating the character user interface object to indicate the second time may include animating the character user interface object by translating the first endpoint on-screen. For example, the character may appear to move one or both shoulders. In some embodiments, the movement or position of one shoulder may affect the movement or position of another shoulder, simulating the connected motion of an actual figure such as a human.
In some embodiments, updating the character user interface object to indicate the second time may include animating the character user interface object by rotating the second segment at the joint on-screen. For example, the second segment may rotate at the joint like a forearm.
In some embodiments, the character user interface object may also translate on-screen, for example towards a center of the display.
In some embodiments, translating the character user interface object may include animating the character user interface object to represent walking, for example to the center of the display. Character user interface object 14904 illustrates this by depicting a character with legs and a torso. The different positions and postures represented by the legs and the torso of character user interface object 14904 at locations 14906 and 14908 represent walking. For example, in response to the user interacting with the device, the character may be animated to walk naturally onto the screen and then assume a position corresponding to the current time. The user interaction may include activating the screen, raising the device into a viewing position, pressing a button on the device that corresponds to activating a watch face, etc.
In some embodiments, changing a visual aspect of the display could include one or more of changing the color and/or brightness of the user interface screen around the character user interface object, displaying a user interface object such as a spotlight, and so forth.
In some embodiments, device 14000 may animate the character user interface object to represent a response by the character user interface object to the changing of the visual aspect. As shown in the exemplary embodiment of
In some embodiments, device 14000 may animate the foot to indicate passage of time. As shown on user interface screens 15102 and 15110, character user interface objects 15104 and 15112 include a foot (15106 and 15114, respectively). The different positions of feet 15106 and 15114 (different with respect to the position on the display and/or their posture within the character user interface object) depict this animation. For example, the character may be animated to simulate a motion of the foot, such as tapping. This may have a regular or irregular timing. In some embodiments, the foot is animated to move at a regular interval, such as once every second. When coupled with two limbs, this allows the character user interface object to depict, for example, hour, minute, and second time values.
In some embodiments, the first time and the second time depicted by the character user interface object are the same. In other words, the character user interface object may move by shifting a limb or any endpoint of a limb without depicting a different time. This allows the character to shift posture without changing the indicated time.
In some embodiments, the display may include one or more numerical indications of time. For example, the display may include a representation of a circular clock face with a character user interface object in the center encircled by numerical indicators, as with a clock.
The features described above allow a character user interface object to appear more natural and lifelike by adopting a wider range of natural motions while indicating a time. A user may wish to view representations of other events by the character user interface object. Allowing the character user interface object to react to external stimuli or internal system events portrays a more interactive character, thus depicting a closer representation of a personality. The enhanced interactivity of the character further improves the user's interactions with the device by providing additional notification that an event has occurred, the occurrence of which may not have been as apparent otherwise. A character user interface object may serve to supply notifications, reminders, and/or other information a user may wish to access from a personal electronic device, but the use of a character provides an interactive personality that the device may use to supply these items. Further, making the character responsive to internal system events (e.g., calendar events and the like) means the character is not strictly limited to responding to external user input. Put another way, the character appears to have a more lifelike personality because it responds to events not directly prompted by the immediate actions of the user.
Device 14000 may receive first data indicative of an event. Device 14000 may determine whether the event meets a condition. In accordance with the determination that the event meets the condition, device 14000 may update character user interface object 15204 by changing a visual aspect of the character user interface object.
In some embodiments, after updating the displayed character user interface object, the character user interface object still indicates time. For example, the appearance or posture of the character may be altered, but the character still indicates time.
In some embodiments, after updating the displayed character user interface object, the character user interface object no longer only indicates time. For example, the character may adopt a posture, assume a facial expression, or use its limbs for a function other than indicating time, such as conveying a meaning related to the event and/or the condition.
In some embodiments, the first data indicates a calendar event. Device 14000 may receive data indicating a calendar event, for example, by obtaining data representing the event from a calendar application on device 14000. In this example, the condition may correspond to a duration of the calendar event. Determining whether the event meets the condition may include determining whether a current time is within the duration of the calendar event. For example, device 14000 may obtain a current time and determine whether the current time is within a duration of the calendar event (e.g., during the calendar event, or substantially contemporaneous with the calendar event but slightly preceding or slightly delayed after it).
An exemplary embodiment is shown on user interface screen 15202. In some embodiments, the calendar event is a birthday. In some embodiments, the birthday is a user's birthday. In some embodiments, updating the displayed character user interface object may include animating the character user interface object to display a birthday greeting. Character user interface object 15204 is animated to display festive hat 15206 and birthday banner 15208. This animation serves to notify the user of a birthday while making the character more interactive. Importantly, the character may change a visual aspect, such as by displaying a birthday greeting, without immediate input by the user, thus giving the impression that the character is able to act more autonomously, as with a personality. In some embodiments, the modification of the character is an indication of some important event related to one of the user's contacts, such as their birthday, anniversary, etc.
An exemplary embodiment is shown on user interface screen 15210. In some embodiments, the calendar event is a holiday. In some embodiments, updating the displayed character user interface object may include changing a visual aspect of the character user interface object to reflect the holiday. In this example, character user interface object 15212 depicts this through Santa Claus hat 15214. This animation serves to notify the user of the holiday while making the character more interactive and decreasing the monotony of character appearance. Other examples of holidays besides Christmas may include New Year's Eve or New Year's Day, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, the 4th of July, St. Patrick's Day, Valentine's Day, and the like.
In some embodiments, device 14000 may receive data indicating a user preference, such as a user's favorite sports team. In accordance with receiving the data, device 14000 may update character user interface object 15204 by changing a visual aspect of the character user interface object to reflect the sports team. For example, the appearance of the character user interface object may be updated to portray the character user interface object wearing a uniform or other paraphernalia representing the sports team (e.g., a hat, jersey, uniform, or other representation include a logo, icon, or text representing the sports team). The display may also be updated to include with the character user interface object a second user interface object representing a sports object associated with the team's sport (e.g., a baseball bat and/or baseball, football, basketball, soccer ball, hockey stick and/or hockey puck, checkered flag, and so forth). The character may be updated in accordance with a determination that the team is playing that day or at that time, or in accordance with a determination that the user is going to attend an event featuring the team. The determination that the user is going to attend an event featuring the team may be made through an analysis of the user's calendar events or through a determination that an electronic ticket for an event is present on the electronic device or a paired electronic device. It is understood that a user's favorite sports team is merely an exemplary user preference, and other user preferences such as a representation of a flag or country are also contemplated.
Device 14000 may receive data indicating a notification. A notification may include, for example, an email, text message, reminder, virtual assistant request, or other such notification. Device 14000 may further display the notification, or an affordance or user interface object representing receipt and/or a content of the notification, on user interface screen 15302, as depicted by notification 15306. Device 14000 may animate character user interface object 15304 to react to notification 15306. For example, as shown on user interface screen 15302, character user interface screen 15304 may appear to look at notification 15306. This may include, for example, a change in posture such that the character faces the notification, or a change in the appearance of the character, such as a face, to indicate looking in the direction of the notification. Again, by providing this change in posture or change in the character's focus, the user may be notified of an incoming alert or event that may otherwise have been less apparent.
Device 14000 may receive first data indicating a time of day. A time of day could include a current time. Device 14000 may determine that the time of day meets a condition, such as by determining whether the time of day is within the nighttime portion of the day. Device 14000 may change a visual aspect of character user interface object 15404 to represent nighttime. As shown in user interface screen 15402, character user interface object 15404 represents nighttime by depicting a yawn and holding candle 15406. In some embodiments, character user interface object 15404 may be altered to depict wearing clothing associated with nighttime, such as pajamas. In some embodiments, the character interface object is modified to yawn or wear pajamas in accordance with a determination that the user should go to sleep. The determination may be based on, for example, any of a preset time, recognition of a pattern of the user's sleep, indication of an early event on the next day's calendar, recognition that the user has been active for longer than a predetermined time, etc.
Device 14000 may receive data indicating a current time. Device 14000 may determine whether the current time corresponds to an hour on the hour (for example, 1:00, 2:00, and so forth). Device 14000 may determine whether the current time is an hour on the hour and if so, animate the character user interface object to announce the hour on the hour for one or more hours. As shown in user interface screen 15502, character user interface object 15504 announces the current hour by depicting musical note 15506. In some embodiments, the announcement of the hour could include a visual depiction of an announcement, such as by displaying a user interface object. In some embodiments, the announcement of an hour could include a sound such as a whistle, chime, one or more spoken words, or a bell toll.
Device 14000 may receive data indicating current or forecasted weather. To receive data indicating current or forecasted weather, device 14000 may retrieve weather information from an external server. In some embodiments, device 14000 may retrieve weather information from a weather service, such as The Weather Channel, Accuweather, The National Weather Service, Yahoo! ™ Weather, Weather Underground, and the like.
Device 14000 may determine whether the current or forecasted weather corresponds to one or more designated weather conditions. Designated weather conditions may be system-designated and may include favorable weather conditions such as sunshine or inclement weather conditions such as rain, thunderstorms, wind, snow, and so forth. If device 14000 determines that the current or forecasted weather corresponds to one or more designated weather conditions, device 14000 may update the character user interface object to reflect the current or forecasted weather. For example, as shown in
Device 14000 may receive data indicating a second electronic device. Device 14000 may determine whether the data corresponds to a threshold proximity of the second electronic device to device 14000. If so, device 14000 may update character user interface object 15704 by animating the character user interface object to react to the second electronic device. As shown in user interface screen 15702, character user interface object 15704 may depict thumbs up 15706 or smile 15708. In some embodiments, the posture of the character user interface object may be updated to reflect the proximity and/or direction of the second device. For example, the character user interface object may react in the direction of the device or be reflected on the display. In some embodiments, data indicating a second electronic device may be provided through a server, which may provide the location of the user's contacts that have agreed to provide their location data, such as Find My Friends. Data indicating a second electronic device may also be provided through a local network, for example, a recognition that one of the user's contacts has joined the same WiFi network. Data indicating a second electronic device may also be provided by the second electronic device itself, such as the second electronic device announcing itself through Bluetooth, Near Field Communication, etc.
In some embodiments, a device (such as device 14000) displaying a character user interface object indicating time may receive data indicating user activity. For example, the device may include a user activity monitor (such as a workout monitor), an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a motion sensor, and/or a combination thereof. The device may determine whether the data indicating user activity is received outside of a threshold interval after a previous user activity. For example, the device may determine whether a threshold period of time has elapsed since the last data indicating user activity (e.g., the last user workout). If the device determines that the data indicating user activity is received outside of the threshold interval after a previous user activity, the device may animate the character user interface object to reflect inactivity. For example, the character may change an expression and/or posture to represent boredom, a sedentary or recumbent posture, a sullen or apathetic appearance, and so forth.
Device 14000 may receive data indicating user activity. For example, the device may include a user activity monitor (such as a workout monitor), an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a motion sensor, and/or a combination thereof. Device 14000 may determine whether the user activity is current user activity, and, if so, animate character user interface object 15804 to represent exercise. For example, user interface screen 15802 includes character user interface object 15804 and barbell 15806. In some embodiments, device 14000 may animate the character user interface object to depict an activity related to exercise, such as motion, running, weight lifting, swimming, bicycling, pushups, and/or sweat, heavy breathing, or any other signs of physical exertion. In some embodiments, the activity monitor may include options for the user to indicate which activity they are going to begin. In these cases the character appearance may be changed to reflect the selected activity option.
Device 14000 may receive data indicating user movement of the device, for example by using an accelerometer, directional sensor (e.g., compass), gyroscope, motion sensor, and/or a combination thereof, and so forth. Device 14000 may determine whether the data indicating user movement is received outside of a threshold interval after a previous user movement. For example, device 14000 may determine whether a threshold period of time has elapsed since the last data indicating user movement (e.g., picking up the device, a motion indicative of a user wrist movement, and so forth). If device 14000 determines that the data indicating user movement is received outside of the threshold interval after a previous user movement, device 14000 may animate the character user interface object to indicate fatigue. For example, user interface object 15904 includes limbs 15906 and 15908. Device 14000 may animate character user interface object 15904 to droop one or more of limbs 15906 and 15908. In some embodiments, device 14000 may animate character user interface object 15904 to shift position, portray physical effort, and the like.
Device 14000 may receive data indicating a user contact on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touchscreen). Device 14000 may determine whether the user contact corresponds to a user contact on character user interface object 16004. In some embodiments, the user contact may be on a touchscreen at the position of the character user interface object. In some embodiments, the user may input information to manipulate a cursor or other indicator to contact the displayed character user interface object. For example, as shown on user interface screen 16002, a user may contact character user interface object 16004 with touch 16006.
If device 14000 determines that the user contact corresponds to a user contact on character user interface object 16004, device 14000 may animate character user interface object 16004 to react to the contact. In some embodiments, the reaction may be a specific to the location of the contact on the character user interface object. In some embodiments, the reaction may be a general reaction. In some embodiments, the reaction may include, for example, reacting as to tickling, hugging, or other forms of friendly contact. In some embodiments, character user interface object 16004 may display a second animation distinct from the first animation in response to a second user contact.
In some embodiments, a device (such as device 14000) may detect a user input and, in response to detecting the user input, display a character user interface object. For example, the display of the device may show another display or be dark, then display the user interface object on the screen in response to the user input. In some embodiments, the user input may be a movement of the device (e.g., picking up the device, a motion indicative of a user wrist movement, and so forth). In some embodiments, the user input may be a touch on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touchscreen).
Turning now to
Accordingly, provided herein are context-specific user interfaces that include a clock face featuring four cardinal numbers. A user may wish for such cardinal-numbers-based user interface to be easily readable and to leave adequate room (especially at the corners of a square screen) for additional information.
Device 14000 may display interface 16702, including a clock face comprising one or more cardinal numbers. The clock face may be a representation of an analog clock featuring an hour hand, a minute hand, and a second hand. The cardinal numbers may each correspond to one of the 12 numbers that traditionally appear on a clock face, and they may appear in a position on the display corresponding to the respective number's usual position on a clock face. For example, the number “12” may appear at the top center of the display, the number “3” at the center right, the number “6” at the bottom center, and the number “9” at the center left. In some embodiments, fewer than four cardinal numbers may be used, such as only three or only two. In some embodiments, numbers other than “12,” “3,” “6,” and “9” may be used; for example, interface 16702 could display a clock face featuring only the numbers “10, “2,” and “6.”
In some embodiments, the cardinal numbers displayed on interface 16702 may be displayed at a large enough size such that all 12 numbers of a traditional clock face could not be simultaneously displayed on a display of device 14000 at the same size. The smaller number of cardinal numbers displayed may thus be easier to read due to their larger size. In some embodiments, the number of cardinal numbers displayed is maintained at less than 12, even though sufficient space is available to display additional numbers, in order to maintain simplicity.
In some embodiments, a user is able to modify font settings and color settings of the cardinal-numbers-based interface. In some embodiments, different fonts may be used to render one or more of the displayed cardinal numbers. The same font may be used for all of the cardinal numbers, or a different font may be used for one or more of the numbers. In some embodiments, the font used is a system font that is a default font for an operating system of device 14000. In some embodiments, other fonts are available that reflect modifications or stylizations of the default system font. For example, fonts may be used that reflect a shadowed stylization of the system font, a rounded stylization of the system font, a striped stylization of the system font, a stencil stylization of the system font, an embossed stylization of the system font, a bold stylization of the system font, an italic stylization of the system font, etc. Stylizations of the system font may be used in place of or in addition to fonts that are unrelated to the system font. Using stylizations of the system font may create a consistent look and feel to the interface of the device while still allowing the user to customize the font.
In some embodiments different colors may be selected by a user to apply to all of the cardinal numbers or to one of the individual cardinal numbers. In some embodiments, a user may select a color theme that applies to one or more of the cardinal numbers, or to all of the cardinal numbers; a theme may be a curated selection of colors that are predetermined to correspond to one another. In some embodiments, a user may select an option to apply a gradient color scheme to one or more of the cardinal numbers. In some embodiments, a user may select an option to apply a color setting to one or more of the cardinal numbers such that the color or colors of the one or more cardinal numbers change over time, either according to a predetermined schedule or in accordance with contextual factors.
In some embodiments, a user may set the font settings or color settings of the device from an edit interface. For example, a user may apply a hard-press to the clock face of interface 16702 to activate an edit state. In the edit interface, a user may tap the clock face or a specific cardinal number to select one or more of the cardinal numbers. The selected one or more cardinal numbers may be highlighted in any suitable manner, including by being displayed in a larger size, to indicate that the one or more cardinal numbers are selected for editing. While the one or more cardinal numbers are selected for editing, the user may rotate a rotatable input mechanism of device 14000 in order to change the font or color setting by scrolling through settings. The setting may be arranged in an ordered progression such that the user may scroll through the available choices. In some embodiments, the ordered progression may loop around from one end to the other, such that when the user reaches the final setting in the ordered progression, he may proceed in the same direction to the first setting in the ordered progression.
In some embodiments, in the edit interface, paging dots may appear at the top of the interface to indicate to the user how many different pages are available in the edit interface. For example, an edit interface may have two pages, a first for editing color and a second for editing font. As described above, a user may select one or more of the cardinal numbers for editing in on one of the pages, and may use the rotatable input mechanism to change the setting. A user may then perform a horizontal swipe input detected by device 14000 in order to page to the adjacent page. For example, if the leftmost page is a page for editing color, then a user may swipe to the left in order to page to the right and access a page for editing font. At the font editing page, the user may edit font settings in a similar manner as described above. In some embodiments, a selection of one or more of the cardinal numbers for editing is maintained when a user pages between pages in the edit interface, while in other embodiments selections are cleared when a user pages.
In some embodiments, the edit interface may include additional pages for editing additional settings, or may enable editing one or more settings of the interface (such as an information density setting) in response to rotation of the rotatable input mechanism without having any of the cardinal numbers selected for editing.
In some embodiments, interface 16702 may display, in addition to the clock face, one or more other user interface objects, such as complications, that present information to the user. In some embodiments, the complications displayed may be customizable by the user in accordance with the methods described above. In some embodiments, complications may be displayed in predefined locations in interface 16702, such as at the corners. There may be sufficient room for clear and unobstructed display of complications in the corners of interface 16702 because the cardinal numbers may not occupy that space. In some embodiments, interface 16702 may feature no complications or other user interface objects, and may feature only the cardinal-numbers clock face.
2. Editing Context-Specific User Interfaces
The context-specific user interfaces described and illustrated herein provide numerous elements and features that a user may customize, depending upon a particular context. As described, these customizable elements enhance the user interfaces, making them more personal and interactive to the user.
At the same time, a user also wants a device that is easy and intuitive to use. Providing a multitude of features only serves to frustrate the user if the user interface does not provide comprehensible ways to edit these features. Described below are user interfaces for editing context-specific user interfaces that provide easy and intuitive methods that facilitate user customization.
Importantly, it is to be appreciated that, while particular embodiments such as clock faces may be described with respect to particular editing features, these editing features may also apply to one or more of the other user interfaces described herein. For example, a method for customizing a color of a clock face may be used to change the color of a seconds hand, change an animated object (e.g., a butterfly), or change a clock face background (e.g., a photo or image of a scene). Similarly, methods for customizing complications may be used to add and/or edit various complications on any clock face, regardless of whether an embodiment of that clock face bearing a particular complication was described herein. A skilled artisan will recognize that the methods described below provide user interface functionalities that may be applied to elements and aspects of various context-specific user interfaces in numerous combinations, such that each possible combination would be impossible to elaborate individually.
It is to be further appreciated that references to a “clock face” with respect to clock face editing and/or selection as described herein are not in any way limited to a traditional notion of a “clock face,” e.g., a circular display with hour indications and one or more hands to indicate time, or a representation of a digital clock. Any context-specific user interface with an indication of time described herein may properly be termed a clock face.
Attention is now directed to
Device 1500 displays user interface screen 1502, which includes clock face 1504. Clock face 1504 also includes complication 1506 that displays a set of information from a weather application (e.g., current weather conditions). In this example, the user wishes to change multiple aspects of clock face 1504. Specifically, the user decides to change the hour indications on clock face 1504 and complication 1506.
The user contacts the touch-sensitive display of device 1500 with touch 1508. Touch 1508 has a characteristic intensity above an intensity threshold, which prompts device 1500 to enter a clock face edit mode, shown on screen 1510. Clock face edit mode allows the user to edit one or more aspects of a clock face. Device 1500 indicates that the user has entered clock face edit mode by visually distinguishing the clock face. In this example, screen 1510 shows a smaller version of the display of screen 1502 (e.g., 1512), which includes reduced size clock face 1514 based on clock face 1504. Reduced size complication 1516, which is based on complication 1506, is also displayed. This display indicates to the user that the user is in clock face edit mode while giving the user an indication of what the edited clock face will look like on the display. In some embodiments, a user may be able to select a different clock face by swiping displayed screen 1510, as described in greater detail below in reference to
Screen 1510 also displays paging affordance 1518. Paging affordances may indicate where the user is within a sequence of options, as well as how many options are available in the sequence. In clock face edit mode, paging affordances may indicate which editable aspect of the clock face a user is editing, where this aspect falls within a sequence of editable aspects, and the total number of editable aspects in the sequence (if clock face selection is available on this screen, paging affordance 1518 may depict the currently selected clock face within a sequence of selectable clock faces and/or clock face options, as described below). A paging affordance may be advantageous in clock face edit mode to help the user navigate the interface and explore all of the editable options available within each type of clock face.
The user selects the displayed clock face for editing by contacting 1512 through touch 1520. In response to detecting touch 1520, device 1500 visually indicates an element of the clock face for editing. As shown on screen 1530, the hour indications have been selected for editing, as indicated by outline 1534 around the position of the hour indications. The other elements of the clock face are still retained, as shown by hour hand and minute hand 1532 and complication 1536.
In this example, three aspects of the clock face are available for user editing. This is depicted by paging affordance 1538. The first editable aspect is the hour indications (e.g., their number and/or appearance). This is relayed to the user by paging affordance 1538. By viewing outline 1534 in combination with paging affordance 1538, the user recognizes that the hour indications are the first of three editable aspects of this clock face.
Device 1500 also has rotatable input mechanism 1540. The user may move rotatable input mechanism 1540 to cycle through different options for editing different aspects of the clock face. On screen 1530, the user may select different options for the hour indications (which are currently editable, as depicted by outline 1534) through movement 1542. Advantageously, using a rotatable input mechanism to cycle through editing options (rather than using, e.g., a touch interaction) frees up touch interactions with the screen to instead provide other functionalities, thus expanding the interactability of the device. Using a rotatable input mechanism is also helpful in cases where smaller elements of the display are being edited, as finer-scale touch gestures may be difficult on a reduced-size display for users with large fingers.
Also displayed on screen 1530 is positional indicator 1544, shown as a column of 9 lines. Positional indicator 1544 is an indicator of a current position along a series of positions. This is may be used, for example, in combination with rotatable input mechanism 1540. On screen 1530, positional indicator 1544 indicates to the user the position of the currently selected option (e.g., by line 1546) within a series of all selectable options.
Upon detecting movement 1542, device 1500 displays screen 1550. In response to detecting movement 1542, device 1500 edits the hour indications, in this case by increasing the number of indications and adding numerals. This is shown by indications 1552, still highlighted by outline 1534. The other elements of the clock face, hour hand and minute hand 1532 and complication 1536, remain the same. Positional indicator 1544 has been updated to indicate the position of this hour indication option, highlighted by line 1554, within a series of positions of hour indication options.
As indicated by paging affordance 1538, the hour indications are the first editable aspect of this clock face within a sequence of editable aspects. The user may select a second editable aspect by swiping the touch-sensitive display (e.g., swipe 1556). In response to detecting the swipe, device 1500 displays screen 1560. Screen 1560 includes clock face 1562, which now has 12 hour indications, including 4 numerical indications, as depicted by hour indications 1552. Note that these hour indications are the hour indications that were selected by the user on the previous screen (see indications 1552). Paging affordance 1538 has now been updated to indicate that editing complications is the second editable aspect within the sequence of editable aspects in this clock face.
On screen 1560, complication 1536 is currently editable, as indicated to the user by outline 1564. Currently, complication 1536 is displaying current weather conditions using information from a weather application. This option is option 3 in a series of options, as indicated by updated positional indicator 1544 and line 1566. Positional indicator 1544 lets the user know that the currently selected feature (i.e., complication 1536) is editable by the rotatable input mechanism.
While screen 1560 depicts a single complication, it should be understood that multiple complications may be displayed. When multiple complications are displayed, a user may select a particular complication for editing by contacting the corresponding position of the complication. Outline 1564 then transitions from the previously selected complication or element to the currently selected complication or element and rotatable input mechanism may then be used to edit the complication or element at the selected location. This concept is described in greater detail below in reference to
It is to be noted that positional indicator 1544 is displayed on screens 1530, 1550, and 1560, even though the available options depicted by the indicators are different. A positional indicator may be a universal indicator of options available through a particular type of user input, such as a movement of the rotatable input mechanism. Rather than displaying positions within a particular context, such as editing a certain feature or displaying data from a particular application, a positional indicator shows the user positions available through a type of user input, no matter the particular context in which the user input is being used. This better indicates to the user which user input should be used for this functionality. In some embodiments, a positional indicator is displayed on the display at a position adjacent to the user input for which it is used (e.g., next to the rotatable input mechanism to indicate positions accessible by moving the rotatable input mechanism).
A positional indicator (e.g., positional indicator 1544) may be responsive to one or more inputs. For example, as shown in
In some embodiments, upon detecting the swipe, the device may update an indicator of position (e.g., an indicator of position along a series of positions that indicates a position of a currently selected option for the editable aspect along a series of selectable options for the editable aspect of the visually indicated element of the clock face) to indicate a second position along the series. In some embodiments, upon detecting the swipe, the device may edit an aspect of the visually indicated element of the clock face. In some embodiments, the device may visually distinguish the positional indicator (e.g., by changing a color, size, shape, animation, or other visual aspect) based on the type of input used to scroll the indicator. For example, in some embodiments, in response to detecting a movement of the rotatable input mechanism, the device may display the positional indicator in a first color (e.g., green), and in some embodiments, in response to detecting a swipe, the device may display the positional indicator in a second color different from the first color (e.g., white).
In clock face edit mode depicted on screen 1560, the user may be able to cycle through different types of information from the weather application, or change the application from which the information is drawn. In this case, the user moves rotatable input mechanism using movement 1568, which causes device 1500 to display screen 1570. This updates complication 1536 to display the current date, which is obtained from a calendar application. This option is indicated within positional indicator 1544 by line 1572. Note that paging affordance 1538 still indicates the second position because the user is still engaged in editing complications, the second editable aspect of this clock face. A determination that the contact has a characteristic intensity above a predetermined threshold may be user to distinguish the contact from other gestures, such as a tap or the beginning of a swipe.
Having finished editing the clock face, the user may now exit clock face selection mode and display the edited clock face on the display. In some embodiments, this may be done by detecting a user contact with a characteristic intensity above an intensity threshold. In accordance with a determination that the characteristic intensity is above the intensity threshold, the device may exit clock face edit mode and cease to visually distinguish the displayed clock face for editing (e.g., by increasing the size of the displayed clock face). In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the characteristic intensity is above the intensity threshold, the device may save this edited clock face as a new clock face that is accessible through clock face selection mode (described below). In accordance with a determination that the characteristic intensity is not above the intensity threshold (where the clock face includes an affordance representing an application, and where the contact is on the affordance representing the application), the device may launch the application represented by the affordance.
In some embodiments, the device may have a rotatable and depressible input mechanism (e.g., 506), and in response to detecting a depression of the rotatable and depressible input mechanism, the device may exit clock face edit mode, display the currently edited clock face, and/or save the currently edited clock face for later user selection, as described above.
As shown in
In some embodiments, in response to detecting the movement, the device may change a color of the element. This could include, e.g., changing a color of a clock face background (e.g., substituting a color if the clock face background is a particular color, or selecting a different image if the clock face background includes an image), changing a color of part or all of a seconds hand (if included on the clock face), changing a color of an hour and/or minute indication, and/or changing a color of a number or colon in the display of a representation of a digital clock. Since a seconds hand is a smaller element than a background (and therefore may be more difficult for the user to perceive), changing the color of the seconds hand may include an animated color change. For example, the seconds hand could first change a color of a particular point (e.g., a dot depicted along the seconds hand), then propagate this color change in either direction along the seconds hand. Alternatively, the color change could begin at the origin of the clock face and propagate outward. Animating a color change, particularly a change of a smaller element of the clock face, may be helpful to draw the user's attention to the color change.
In other embodiments, in response to detecting movement of the rotatable input mechanism, the device may change an aspect of a complication. For example, this could be used to change application data displayed by an application complication. In some embodiments, the complication may indicate a first set of information obtained by an application (e.g., application data. For example, if the application is a weather application, a set of information could be a forecasted weather condition, a current temperature, etc.), and upon editing, the complication could be updated to indicate a second set of information from the same application (e.g., if the application is a weather application, the display could be edited from showing a current temperature to showing current precipitation). In other embodiments, upon editing, the complication could be updated to indicate a set of information from a different application (e.g., if the application is a weather application, the display could be edited from showing weather to showing data from a calendar application, as illustrated by complication 1536).
In other embodiments, in response to detecting movement of the rotatable input mechanism, the device may change an aspect of display density. For example, as illustrated in
In some embodiments, as illustrated in
In some embodiments, upon reaching the last position indicated by the positional indicator, the device may provide an indication to the user that the last option has been displayed. For example, the device may depict a dimming of one or more of the selected element, an outline around the selected element, and the positional indicator. In some embodiments, the device may animate one or more of the selected element, an outline around the selected element, and the positional indicator to expand and contract (e.g., like a rubber band). In some embodiments, the device may animate one or more of the selected element, an outline around the selected element, and the positional indicator to move on the display (e.g., by bouncing). These features may be advantageous to provide an indication to the user that the last option in the series of options has been reached.
In some embodiments, a user may select the element on the clock face for editing by contacting the touch-sensitive display at the position of the displayed element. In other embodiments, the element may be selected by swiping the touch-sensitive display, or rotating the rotatable input mechanism. Regardless of the input, selecting a second element for editing may involve removing a visual indication from the previous element and visually indicating a second element for editing (visually indicating may include any or all of the techniques described above).
In some embodiments, if the element selected for editing is indicated by an outline around the element, changing an element for editing could involve translating the outline on-screen away from the first element and/or translating a visible on-screen in a continuous on-screen movement towards the second element until the outline is displayed around the second element.
As illustrated in
A user may wish to match a color of a displayed clock face to an image. In some embodiments, the device may receive a user input, and in response to receiving the user input, the device may enter a color selection mode. While in the color selection mode, the device may receive data representing an image, and in response to receiving the data, the device may select a color of the image and update a displayed clock face by changing a color on the clock face (e.g., a clock face background, hour and/or minute indication, and/or seconds hand) to match the color of the image. In some embodiments, the color selected may have the greatest prevalence of the colors in the image. This allows the user to further customize a clock face to display a designated color. For example, if the user is wearing a blue shirt, the user could take an image of the blue shirt and match the color of the clock face to the shirt. In some embodiments, the data representing the image may be obtained from an image stored on the device, an image stored on an external device in wireless communication with the device (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth™, near field communication (“NFC”), or any of the other cellular and/or other wireless communication techniques described herein), or an image taken using a camera on the device, such as camera module 143 or optical sensor 164.
Having described various context-specific user interfaces and methods of user editing thereof, attention is now directed to methods of selecting a context-specific user interface shown in
Device 1600 displays user interface screen 1602, which includes clock face 1604. In this example, the user wishes to switch from clock face 1604 to a different clock face. The user contacts the touch-sensitive display of device 1600 with touch 1606. Touch 1606 has a characteristic intensity above an intensity threshold, which prompts device 1600 to enter a clock face selection mode, shown on screen 1610. Clock face selection mode allows the user to select a clock face.
Device 1600 indicates that the user has entered clock face selection mode by visually distinguishing the clock face. This is shown on screen 1610. Screen 1610 visually distinguishes that the user has entered clock face selection mode by centering reduced size clock face 1612 on the display (reduced size clock face 1612 is based on clock face 1604). This indicates to the user that the user is in clock face selection mode while giving the user an indication of what the clock face will look like when displayed at full size.
Screen 1610 also includes paging affordance 1614. As described above, paging affordances may indicate where the user is within a sequence of options, as well as how many options are available in the sequence. Paging affordance 1614 indicates to the user that clock face 1612 is the first in a series of three selectable clock faces and/or clock face options (e.g., an option to add a new clock face or randomly generate a clock face, as described below). In clock face selection mode, a paging affordance may indicate a currently centered clock face and/or clock face option, a position of the currently centered clock face and/or clock face option within a sequence of clock faces and/or clock face options, and a total number of available clock faces and/or clock face options. This helps the user navigate the clock faces and clock face options.
Screen 1610 also includes a partial view of a second clock face, as shown by a partial view of second clock face 1616. In some embodiments, when the device is in clock face selection mode, the device may include a display a partial view of another clock face, or clock face option, particularly the clock face or clock face option next in the sequence (e.g., as indicated by the paging affordance). This further helps the user understand that additional options are available. In other embodiments, only one clock face is displayed at any time.
Clock face selection mode may be used to select a clock face for display as a context-specific user interface, or to select a clock face for editing. Therefore, in some embodiments, when a clock face such as clock face 1612 and/or clock face 1616 is centered on the display, a user may contact the displayed clock face on the touch-sensitive display to select the centered clock face for editing and enter into clock face editing mode (as described above in reference to
A user may select a different clock face (for editing or for display as a context-specific user interface) by swiping. Device 1600 detects a swipe on the touch-sensitive display (e.g., swipe 1618). In response to detecting swipe 1618, device 1600 displays screen 1620. Screen 1620 includes second clock face 1616 centered on the display (part of second clock face 1616 was depicted on screen 1610). Screen 1620 also shows paging affordance 1614, which has been updated to indicate that the currently centered clock face 1616 is second within the sequence of clock faces and/or clock face options. Also shown is a partial view clock face 1612. This helps the user understand the sequence of clock faces, similar to a paging affordance but with the added benefit of displaying a partial view of the clock faces for user recognition.
To select clock face 1616, the user contacts the touch-sensitive display on clock face 1616 (e.g., touch 1622). In response to detecting touch 1622, device 1600 exits the clock face selection mode and displays screen 1630. Screen 1630 includes full-sized clock face 1632, which is based on clock face 1616. In this example, clock face 1632 is a context-specific user interface similar to those described in reference to
As described above and illustrated in
In some embodiments, centering a clock face on the display includes simulating a movement of the clock face towards the user on the display, as if it is approaching the user. This helps draw the user's attention to the clock face while conveying to the user a sense of the clock face sequence.
As depicted by screen 1620, device 1600 may display multiple available clock faces and/or clock face options in a sequence for selection by the user. A user may wish to re-order one or more clock faces within the sequence. Therefore, device 1600 may provide a clock face rearrangement mode to allow the user to select a particular clock face and change its order within the sequence of available clock faces and/or clock face options. In some embodiments, a user may contact the touch-sensitive display on a clock face (e.g., clock face 1616) and maintain the contact beyond a threshold interval (e.g., a “press and hold”-type user input). In response to detecting the contact, and in accordance with a determination that the contact exceeds a predetermined threshold, device 1600 may enter a clock face rearrangement mode. Device 1600 may highlight, outline, animate, or otherwise visually distinguish the clock face to indicate to the user that device 1600 has entered clock face rearrangement mode, and that the clock face has been selected for rearrangement. In some embodiments, while continuing to receive the user contact, device 1600 may detect movement of the user contact from a first position within the sequence of displayed clock faces and/or clock face options to a second position, which is different from the first position, without a break in contact of the user contact on the touch-sensitive display. In other embodiments, the contact comprising the movement from a first position within the sequence of displayed clock faces and/or clock face options to a second position, which is different from the first position, without a break in contact of the user contact on the touch-sensitive display may be a separate contact subsequent to entry into clock face rearrangement mode. In response to detecting the contact at the second position, device 1600 may translate the clock face on-screen from the first position to the second position. Optionally, other partial or complete clock faces and/or clock face options on the display may be moved accordingly to accommodate the new position of the user-selected clock face. A user may then cease the contact to select the second position as the new position for the clock face within the sequence of displayed clock faces and/or clock face options. In some embodiments, device 1600 may exit clock face rearrangement mode in response to detecting the break in contact on the touch-sensitive display after the position of at least one clock face has been rearranged. In other embodiments, in response to detecting a user input subsequent to the break in contact on the touch-sensitive display (e.g., a depression of a rotatable and depressible input mechanism such as 506), device 1600 may exit clock face rearrangement mode. In some embodiments, upon exiting clock face rearrangement mode, device 1600 may re-enter clock face selection mode.
In addition to selecting an existing context-specific user interface, a user may also wish to add a new one.
In this example, the user swipes the display (e.g., swipe 1648), and in response to detecting the swipe, device 1600 displays a full view of clock face generation affordance 1646 centered on screen 1650. In some embodiments, as depicted by affordance 1646, a clock face generation affordance may include a plus sign (or other text and/or symbol) to convey to the user that, upon activation of affordance 1646, device 1600 will generate a new clock face.
Note that screen 1650 also displays a partial view of previously displayed clock face 1642. This partial view of 1642 and updated paging affordance 1644 (updated to indicate that clock face generation is the second available user interface in the sequence) help orient the user within the sequence of available clock faces and/or clock face options. Further note that the partial view of clock face generation affordance 1646 on screen 1640 indicates to the user that a swipe will center affordance 1646 on the display (e.g., as displayed on screen 1650) for user activation.
A user may activate affordance 1646, for example by contacting affordance 1646 on the touch-sensitive display (e.g., touch 1652). In response to detecting the contact, device 1600 displays screen 1660, which includes newly generated clock face 1662 centered on the display. As shown on screen 1660, new clock face 1662 includes affordance 1664, which displays the current date (e.g., obtained from a calendar application), and affordance 1666, which displays the current weather conditions (e.g., obtained from a weather application).
In response to detecting an activation of affordance 1646, in some embodiments, the device remains in clock face selection mode after centering the displayed new clock face. In other embodiments, upon centering the newly generated clock face on the display, the device enters into clock face edit mode, as described above. This allows the user to edit one or more aspects of the newly generated clock face. In some embodiments, the device exits clock face selection mode and centers the new clock face as a full-size clock face on the display.
It is to be appreciated that, while new clock face 1662 depicts a representation of an analog clock, any of the context-specific user interfaces described herein (with any of the optional features described herein) may be a new clock face generated in response to activating the clock face generation affordance. In some embodiments, a new clock face may have a different customizable aspect, as compared to existing clock faces on the device. For example, if the user already has a clock face that includes a blue seconds hand, the device may generate a new clock face that includes a red seconds hand. This helps the user explore the options available for context-specific user interfaces described herein, thus enhancing the user interface by increasing variety.
In addition to selecting an existing context-specific user interface or generating a new context-specific user interface, a user may also wish to create a random context-specific user interface.
In this example, the user swipes the display (e.g., swipe 1678), and in response to detecting the swipe, device 1600 displays a full view of random clock face generation affordance 1676 centered on screen 1680. In some embodiments, as depicted by affordance 1676, a random clock face generation affordance may include a question mark (or other text and/or symbol, such as the letter “R”) to convey to the user that, upon activation of affordance 1676, device 1600 will generate a random clock face.
Note that screen 1680 also displays a partial view of previously displayed clock face 1672. The partial view of 1672, along with updated paging affordance 1674 (updated to indicate that random clock face generation is the second available user interface in the sequence), helps orient the user to the sequence of clock faces and/or options available in the sequence. Further note that the partial view of random clock face generation affordance 1676 on screen 1670 indicates to the user that a swipe will center affordance 1676 on the display (e.g., as displayed on screen 1680) for user activation.
A user may activate affordance 1676, for example by contacting affordance 1676 on the touch-sensitive display (e.g., touch 1682). In response to detecting the contact, device 1600 displays screen 1690, which includes randomly generated clock face 1692 centered on the display. As shown on screen 1690, new clock face 1692 includes affordance 1694, which represents an affordance for launching a stopwatch application, and affordance 1696, which displays the current temperature (e.g., obtained from a weather application).
In response to detecting an activation of affordance 1676, in some embodiments, the device remains in clock face selection mode after centering the displayed random clock face. In other embodiments, upon centering the randomly generated clock face on the display, the device enters into clock face edit mode, as described above. This allows the user to edit one or more aspects of the randomly generated clock face. In some embodiments, the device exits clock face selection mode and centers the random clock face as a full-size clock face on the display.
It is to be appreciated that, while random clock face 1692 depicts a representation of an analog clock, any of the context-specific user interfaces described herein (with any of the optional features described herein) may be a random clock face generated in response to activating the random clock face generation affordance.
In some embodiments, the random clock face may be different from any of the other clock faces available in clock face selection mode. The device may accomplish this in multiple ways. In some embodiments, the device may randomly generate a random clock face, and then check the random clock face against the other stored clock faces to ensure that it is different. In other embodiments, the device may generate a random clock face and rely on the inherent probability that it will be different from the stored clock faces, given the sheer number of potential clock faces made available by the techniques described herein.
In some embodiments, upon displaying the random clock face, the device may display a user prompt for generating a second random clock face. This allows the user to randomly generate another clock face if the user does not like the particular type of context-specific user interface and/or customized features of the random clock face. In some embodiments, the random clock face generation affordance may depict, e.g., a slot machine or other indication of a user prompt for generating a second random clock face, to provide this feature.
In addition to centering a clock face on the display for selection, the device may also highlight the centered clock face in one or more ways. For example, in some embodiments, the centered clock face may be displayed by visibly distinguishing an outline around the centered clock face (e.g., by displaying a visible outline, or by distinguishing a pre-existing outline already visible around the clock face), as illustrated by 1612, 1622, 1642, and 1672. In some embodiments, the outline may be animated to depict a rhythmic expansion and contraction (e.g., animation similar to pulsing or breathing). In some embodiments, the centered clock face itself may be animated to depict a rhythmic expansion and contraction. In some embodiments, the centered clock face may be animated to depict flashing. In some embodiments, a color of the centered clock face may be changed (e.g., a change in color and/or intensity). Any or all of these indications may be used to visually indicate that the centered clock face is currently selectable.
As described above, the techniques presented herein related to selection of a clock face may be applied to any of the context-specific user interfaces of the present disclosure. A user may wish to display a clock face with an image, such as a user photo or other image file, as the background (see, e.g., the context specific user-interfaces, components, and techniques described in reference to
In this example, reduced size clock face 1607 represents a user image by displaying a reduced size version of the user image. While 1607 shows a single, reduced size image that represents the user image, any representation of an image could be displayed, such as a set of multiple images (e.g., a representation of a photo album), or an affordance that represents an image and/or photo album via text, such as a text that reads “Photo,” “Album,” or the like. These representations indicate to the user that this option, when selected, displays a clock face with a background image along with an indication of the time of day and/or date. In some embodiments, more than one image, and/or more than one representation of an image, may displayed.
To select clock face 1607, the user contacts the touch-sensitive display on clock face 1607 (e.g., touch 1615). In response to detecting touch 1615, device 1600 exits the clock face selection mode and displays screen 1617. Screen 1617 displays a full-sized clock face that includes background 1619, affordance 1621 indicating a time of day, and affordance 1623 indicating a date or day of the month. Background 1619 may be based on the image represented by 1607. For example, it may be a larger version of the same image (e.g., if 1607 displays a single image), a larger version of an image thumbnail displayed as part of an album (e.g., if 1607 displays more than one image, as described below), or it may be an image represented via text by 1607. As used herein, a background “based on” an image may refer to a background that is based on at least the first image, i.e., additional images may be displayed. In some embodiments, affordance 1621 and/or 1623 may be generated by modifying in appearance a subset of pixels constituting background 1619 (e.g., as described in reference to
Screen 1625 represents a set of images (e.g., from a user photo album) in a grid-type layout with rows and columns. Any type of layout may be used. In some embodiments, screen 1625 may display a composite image comprising representations associated with individual images, such as photos from a photo album. These representations may include indications (e.g., labels) and/or visual representations (e.g., thumbnail images) of the corresponding images. The user may select the image associated with representation 1627 by contacting the displayed representation with touch 1629. In response to detecting touch 1629, device 1600 displays screen 1617, as described above.
In some embodiments, the user may have the option of pre-selecting a preference as to whether device 1600 displays a single image, as illustrated by
Once an image has been selected for the background of the clock face, a user may wish to modify the image or replace it with a different image. Advantageously, both functionalities may be provided from a single user interface using the zoom/crop operations described below. As an example,
As illustrated in
In some embodiments, the amount of cropping used to generate image 1635 based on background 1619 is proportional to the degree, amount, speed, and/or number of rotations of the rotatable input mechanism. In other embodiments, the amount of cropping used to generate image 1635 based on background 1619 is not proportional to the degree, amount, speed, and/or number of rotations of the rotatable input mechanism. Any model for mapping a movement of a rotatable input mechanism to the amount or speed of cropping may be used, such as those described in reference to scrolling in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/476,700, “Crown Input for a Wearable Electronic Device,” filed Sep. 3, 2014, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. For example, acceleration, velocity, or the like may be used to determine the amount of speed of scaling of the cropped image.
Other image manipulations are possible using other user inputs. For example, as illustrated in
Once the user is satisfied with image 1641, it may be selected as the new background by a touch input, such as touch 1643. Touch 1643 has a characteristic intensity above an intensity threshold (which may be the same or different threshold described above in reference to touch 1606), which prompts device 1600 to display user prompt 1645 asking the user to confirm setting image 1641 as the background. In response to detecting a user confirmation of image 1641 (e.g., by touch 1647 on a “YES” affordance), device 1600 displays screen 1649, which includes image 1641 as the background and affordances 1621 and 1623. In other embodiments, device 1600 may forego displaying user prompt 1645 and instead display screen 1649 in response to touch 1643. If touch 1643 has a characteristic intensity that is not above the intensity threshold, device 1600 may forego displaying screen 1649 and/or modify image 1641 in appearance, e.g., as described above.
In some embodiments, affordances 1621 and/or 1623 may be modified in appearance, compared to when they are displayed on background 1619, based on the different appearance of 1641 compared to 1619. For example, they may constitute a modification of a subset of pixels of a different image, or a different subset of pixels from the same image (e.g., 1641 vs. 1619). In other embodiments, affordances 1621 and/or 1623 may have the same appearance on both screens.
In response to detecting touch 1655, device 1600 displays screen 1657, which includes a background based on image 1659. Similar to
The techniques described above allow for a single user interface for selecting and modifying images to generate an image-based context-specific user interface of the present disclosure. Providing a single user interface for these functionalities reduces the number of user inputs required to accomplish these tasks, thereby reducing battery consumption and processor power. While these operations are illustrated in
In some embodiments, the user may access clock face edit mode and clock face selection mode through a shared interface. For example, a contact with a characteristic intensity above the intensity threshold may cause the device to enter clock face selection mode. In this example, screen 1510 in
3. Additional Functionalities for Context-Specific User Interfaces
A user may wish for additional functionalities in a context-specific user interface that may be applied to the user interfaces described above. For example, a user may wish to set reminders, launch applications, and view the time at a designated location. Such functionalities are not limited to particular user interfaces described herein, but rather may be generally applied to any or all of them. The following functionalities are generalizable features that may be incorporated into any of the context-specific user interfaces described herein. While a specific functionality may be described in reference to a particular context-specific user interface below, this is in no way intended to be limiting.
In this example, a user wants to set a reminder for 6:00 (this may be a reminder for 6:00 at a specific day or a general reminder for 6:00 every day). Device 1700 displays user interface screen 1702. Screen 1702 depicts a clock face similar to those described in reference to
A user may contact the display, which then prompts the device to enter into a user interaction mode. User interaction mode provides the user additional interactions available within the user interface, such as setting a user reminder. Once in user interaction mode, a user moves the rotatable input mechanism (e.g., movement 1708), and in response to detecting the movement, device 1700 displays screen 1710. Screen 1710 displays a non-current time of day (6:00), as indicated by affordance 1712 and the position of affordance 1714 along the sinusoidal wave. The user may use movement 1708 to scroll through times of day until a designated time is displayed (in this case 6:00) so the user can set a reminder for the designated time of day.
The user contacts the display at affordance 1714 (e.g., touch 1716), and in response to detecting the contact, device 1700 sets a reminder for the indicated time of day (6:00). This allows the user to set a designate a time of day for a user reminder.
In response to detecting the contact, device 1700 displays screen 1730. Screen 1730 includes affordance 1732, which indicates the current time of day, and affordance 1734, which also indicates the current time of day by its position along sinusoidal wave 1736. Line 1738 depicts the boundary between the daytime and nighttime portions of the display. As described above, screen 1730 includes user interface objects 1740 (representing a time of dawn), 1742 (representing a time of sunrise), 1744 (representing a time of sunset), and 1746 (representing a time of dusk).
Importantly, screen 1730 also displays affordance 1748. Affordance 1748 is a visual reminder of the time of day designated by the user (6:00) in
In some embodiments, setting the user reminder may include displaying an affordance representing a user prompt to set an alert for the designated time of day. This affordance may include a user interface for setting one or more properties of the alert.
In some embodiments, a user reminder may include a calendar event. For example, instead of a user setting the user reminder as described above, the device may import a calendar event from a calendar application. Using the example illustrated in
In some embodiments, the user reminder represents a recurring event. In some embodiments, the time of the user reminder is based on a fixed chronological time. To use
The user reminder for the designated time of day may include one or more optional features. In some embodiments, the reminder may include a visual alert for the designated time of day. For example, the device may display a visual alert on or before the designated time of day. Alternatively, the device may display at any time a visual affordance that shows the designated time of day within the context of the current user interface. In the example of
In some embodiments, the user reminder may include an audio alert for the designated time of day. For example, the device may play a sound on or before the designated time of day. In some embodiments, the user reminder may include a haptic alert generated on or before the designated time of day (e.g., using haptic feedback module 133 and tactile output generator 167). This haptic signal lets the user know when the designated time of day is approaching.
Turning now to
Device 1800 displays user interface screen 1802. Screen 1802 includes clock face 1804 and affordances 1806 and 1808, which are displayed as complications. Affordances 1806 and 1808 represent applications and include a set of information obtained from the corresponding application. In this example, affordance 1806 represents a weather application and displays weather conditions obtained from the weather application. Affordance 1808 represents a calendar application and displays the current date obtained from the calendar application. Affordance 1806 and affordance 1808 are updated in accordance with data from the corresponding application. For example, affordance 1806 is updated to display current weather conditions obtained from the weather application. Affordance 1808 is updated to display the current date obtained from the calendar application. For example, these complications may be application widgets updated based on application data.
To launch the weather application, a user contacts the display at affordance 1806 (e.g., touch 1810). In response, device 1800 launches the weather application, which is depicted on screen 1820. Screen 1820 shows further weather information, including current weather conditions (e.g., user interface object 1822), an indication of the current location (e.g., user interface object 1824), and an indication of the current temperature (e.g., user interface object 1826).
If a user wishes to launch the calendar application instead of the weather application, the user contacts the display at affordance 1808 (e.g., touch 1812). In response, device 1800 launches the calendar application, which is depicted on screen 1830. Screen 1830 shows further calendar information, including user interface object 1832, which depicts the full date, and user interface object 1834, which represents a calendar event (in this case, a meeting at 1).
In some embodiments, a user interface screen may display a complication that represents an application and includes a set of information obtained from the corresponding application. In some embodiments, as illustrated by
In some embodiments, as described above, a user may move a rotatable input mechanism to scroll a displayed indication of time forward or backward. In some embodiments, the device may display two or more indications of time, and in response to detecting a movement of the rotatable input mechanism, the device may update one or more of the displayed indications of time and keep another indication of time constant. To illustrate using screen 1802 in
In some embodiments, the device may update other displayed complications (e.g., those that do not indicate a time per se) in response to detecting the movement of the rotatable input mechanism. For example, in addition to updating the time displayed by clock face 1804, the device may also update the forecasted or historical weather condition displayed by affordance 1806 to correspond with the time indicated by clock face 1804. In these embodiments, the device may forego updating another displayed complication in response to scrolling the displayed time. For example, a displayed stopwatch complication may remain the same while the displayed clock face is updated. In some embodiments, a displayed complication that is not updated in response to detecting the movement of the rotatable input mechanism may be visually distinguished, such as by changing a hue, saturation, and/or lightness of the displayed complication. This allows the user to distinguish which complications are updated and which remain constant.
Advantageously, these context-specific user interface methods, which may be applied to any of the context-user interfaces described herein simply by including an application complication, allow the user to view updated information from a particular application while also presenting a quick way to launch the corresponding application in the same user interface object. Moreover, the application and/or application information depicted by the complication may further be customized using the editing methods described in reference to
A user may navigate screens on, e.g., a portable multifunction device, that include many affordances. These affordances may represent, for example, applications that may be launched on the device. One such affordance may activate a context-specific user interface, such as those described herein. In order to help the user recognize that a particular affordance corresponds to launching a context-specific user interface, an animation that visually connects the affordance to the interface may be desirable.
As discussed above in reference to
A user selects this clock face for editing by contacting displayed clock face 1842 (e.g., touch 1850). In some embodiments, touch 1850 is a contact on the touch-sensitive display. In some embodiments, touch 1850 is a contact on the touch-sensitive display with a characteristic intensity above an intensity threshold. This causes device 1800 to enter into clock face edit mode and display screen 1860. Screen 1860 displays clock face 1862 for editing. Currently, affordance 1864 representing the weather application is selected for editing, as highlighted by outline 1866. Also displayed is positional indicator 1868, which indicates the position of the displayed complication in a series of complication options using line 1870. Positional indicator 1868 further indicates to the user that a rotatable input mechanism may be used to cycle through options available for editing affordance 1864 (e.g., which set of information from the weather application to display, or another application from which a set of information may be displayed). Paging affordance 1872 also displays the position of the aspect of clock face 1862 currently selected for editing (i.e., complication 1864) in a series of editable aspects.
Screen 1860 also displays affordance 1874, which represents the calendar application. To select this complication for editing, the user contacts displayed affordance 1874 (e.g., touch 1876). In response, device 1800 displays screen 1880. Like screen 1860, screen 1880 displays clock face 1862, affordance 1864 (which represents the weather application), positional indicator 1868, and affordance 1874 (which represents the weather application). Affordance 1874 is now highlighted for editing, as shown by outline 1882. The position of this complication option is depicted by line 1884 in positional indicator 1868. Finally, paging affordance 1886 has been updated to display the position of affordance complication 1874 in a series of editable aspects of clock face 1862. The user may now edit the set of information displayed by affordance 1874 using the rotatable input mechanism (e.g., which set of information from the calendar application to display, or another application from which a set of information may be displayed). In summary, while in clock face edit mode, a user may select a complication for editing when more than one complication is displayed by contacting the displayed complication. In some embodiments, this causes the affordance to be highlighted (e.g., by a visible outline or other means for visibly distinguishing the affordance described herein).
Device 1900 displays user interface screen 1902, which includes a plurality of affordances (e.g., affordances 1904 and 1906). Affordance 1906 represents a clock face that includes an indication of time (e.g., the hour hand, minute hand, and tick marks) and an outline (e.g., a circle or a polygon such as a square with rounded corners). In some embodiments, the clock face may indicate the current time. The user contacts the touch-sensitive display (e.g., touch 1908) at affordance 1906, and in response, device 1900 displays, sequentially, screens 1910, 1920, and 1930 in continuous on-screen animation.
Screen 1910 shows outline 1912 being animated by progressively displaying the element in a rotational motion (e.g., as if it is being filled in or drawn in a clockwise manner). Next, screen 1920 shows full outline 1922 and hour hand and minute hand 1924. Finally, screen 1930 shows full outline 1932, hour hand and minute hand 1934, and hour indication 1936. Like the outline, the hour indications may also be progressively filled in sequentially (e.g., in a clockwise manner). Importantly, at least one of the elements from affordance 1906 is maintained on screen 1930 (e.g., an outline, or the hour and minute hands), but at a larger display size.
While
A user may also wish to receive an indication from a portable multifunction device that a missed or unread notification is available. Thus, in any of the embodiments described herein, a device may receive a notification, determine whether the notification has been missed (e.g., not viewed or marked as not read), and in accordance with a determination that the notification has been missed, display an affordance indicating a missed notification. in accordance with a determination that the notification has not been missed, the device may forego displaying the affordance indicating a missed notification. In some embodiments, an aspect of the displayed affordance represents a number of missed notifications received by the electronic device. For example, the displayed affordance may change color, change size, or be animated (e.g., to depict pulsing) to represent a number of missed notifications. In some embodiments, in response to receiving data representing user viewing of the missed notification, the device may remove the displayed affordance. This provides the user a quick visual reminder that a notification may be viewed.
A user may also wish to launch an application, such as a stopwatch application, from any of the context-specific user interfaces described herein. Thus, in any of the embodiments described herein, a device may display a stopwatch progress affordance that indicates a currently running stopwatch application. For example, the stopwatch progress affordance may depict a representation of a digital stopwatch (e.g., similar to affordance 1694 in
When traveling, a user may wish to quickly access the time at home, or another designated location. Thus, in any of the embodiments described herein, a device may include a location sensor (e.g., GPS sensor 532 and/or GPS module 135). While any clock face is displayed on the display, a user may contact the display, and in response to detecting the contact, the device may access a designated home location (e.g., a home time zone). The device may obtain a current time zone (i.e., at the current location of the device), determine whether the current time zone is different from the home time zone, and in accordance with a determination that the current time zone is different from the home time zone, update the displayed clock face to indicate current time at the home time zone. In accordance with a determination that the current time zone is not different from the home time zone, the device may continue to display the same clock face to indicate current time at both the home time zone and the current time zone.
In some embodiments, a user may designate the home time zone. For example, the device may provide a user interface for designating the home time zone.
In other embodiments, the device may designate the home time zone. For example, the device could base this designation on data representing amount of time spent at a location, which times of day are spent at the location, and/or a number of contact entries associated with the location. In this way, the device may automatically be able to designate a home time zone.
A user may wish to display different context-specific user interfaces, such as those described herein, depending on a particular context. For example, a user may wish to display a specific context-specific user interface or specific content (e.g., information provided by a displayed complication) while at work, then display a different context-specific user interface or different content while at home. In some embodiments, a user may designate a time of day to change the displayed context-specific user interface. In some embodiments, a user may designate an interval during the day wherein a particular context-specific user interface is displayed. In other embodiments, the device may include a location sensor, and a user may designate a context-specific user interface to be displayed at a particular location (e.g., a home or office). In some embodiments, the device may employ a heuristic method to track previous user interactions, such as a time of day and/or location whereupon a user has changed context-specific user interfaces, a particular context-specific user interface that has been selected or de-selected, and the like. For example, if a user has changed context-specific user interfaces at an approximately regular time after returning home from work, the device may display a prompt asking if the user would like to change context-specific user interfaces at the same time on the following day. In some embodiments, the device automatically changes the context-specific user interface based on a previous user interaction. In other embodiments, the device prompts the user to change the context-specific user interface based on a previous user interaction.
It may be desirable to vary the display of any of the devices described herein. Thus, in any of the embodiments described herein, a device may display a clock face that includes a plurality of pixels, detect a movement of the device (as described above), and in response to detecting the movement, move the displayed clock face on the display. Moving may include modifying a subset of the pixels in the plurality (e.g., by changing color and/or intensity of one or more pixels).
A user may wish to use a virtual tachymeter (e.g., a tachymeter that is not based on a physical tachymeter dial built onto the device) on any of the devices described herein. A virtual tachymeter may be provided, for example, by a tachymeter user interface object that may be displayed on a dedicated tachymeter user interface screen, or on any of the user interface screens described herein (e.g., as a tachymeter complication). The user may provide a user input to start the virtual tachymeter and, subsequently the user may stop the virtual tachymeter by providing a second user input. For example, the tachymeter user interface object may include a start affordance, a stop affordance, or a combined start/stop affordance. The user may start the virtual tachymeter by contacting the start affordance or the start/stop affordance and stop the virtual tachymeter by contacting the stop affordance or the start/stop affordance. In another example, one or both user inputs may be an input on a mechanical button (e.g., a rotation and/or depression of the rotatable and depressible input mechanism 506, and/or a press on button 508) to start and/or stop the virtual tachymeter. In some embodiments, one or both user inputs may be an audio (e.g., verbal) input.
After the user has stopped the virtual tachymeter, the device may display a time value based on the time elapsed between start and stop. This time value may be based on, for example, a number of units of time in a predetermined interval (e.g., the number of seconds in an hour). In some embodiments, the displayed time value may be based on the number of units of time in the predetermined interval (e.g., the number of seconds in an hour) divided by the time elapsed between start and stop. In some embodiments, the user may customize the units of time used by the tachymeter, the units of time in the predetermined interval, and/or the predetermined interval. In some embodiments, while the virtual tachymeter is running, the tachymeter user interface object may include an updating display to indicate the passage of time, such as a running or continuously updated countdown of the time value, a rotating shape, and the like. Advantageously, since the tachymeter is virtual, it may measure any increment or interval of time because it is not constrained or fixed like a traditional tachymeter, such as a watch tachymeter. For example, a watch tachymeter is typically limited to measuring times less than or equal to 60 seconds, because the displayed time values are fixed (e.g., painted or etched onto a tachymeter dial) and only apply to values within one full rotation of the second hand.
A user may wish to use a virtual telemeter (e.g., a telemeter that is not based on a physical telemeter dial built onto the device) on any of the devices described herein. A virtual telemeter may be provided, for example, by a telemeter user interface object that may be displayed on a dedicated telemeter user interface screen, or on any of the user interface screens described herein (e.g., as a telemeter complication).
The user may provide a user input to start the virtual telemeter and, subsequently the user may stop the virtual telemeter by providing a second user input. For example, the telemeter user interface object may include a start affordance, a stop affordance, or a combined start/stop affordance. The user may start the virtual telemeter by contacting the start affordance or the start/stop affordance and stop the virtual telemeter by contacting the stop affordance or the start/stop affordance. In another example, one or both user inputs may be an input on a mechanical button (e.g., a rotation and/or depression of the rotatable and depressible input mechanism 506, and/or a press on button 508) to start and/or stop the virtual telemeter. In some embodiments, one or both user inputs may be an audio (e.g., verbal) input. After the user has stopped the virtual telemeter, the device may display a distance based on the time elapsed between start and stop. This distance may be based on the speed of sound. For example, the user may see lightning, start the telemeter, and stop the telemeter when the user hears thunder. In this case, the distance reported by the telemeter will indicate the distance between the user and the lightning, based on the time interval between when the light reaches the user and when the sound reaches the user. In some embodiments, the user may designate the units for reporting the distance (e.g., kilometers, miles, etc.). In some embodiments, while the virtual telemeter is running, the telemeter user interface object may include an updating display to indicate the passage of time, such as a running or continuously updated distance, a rotating shape, and the like. Advantageously, since the telemeter is virtual, it may measure any increment or interval of time because it is not constrained or fixed like a traditional telemeter, such as a watch telemeter. For example, a watch telemeter is typically limited to measuring times less than or equal to 60 seconds, because the displayed time values are fixed (e.g., painted or etched onto a telemeter dial) and only apply to values within one full rotation of the second hand.
A user may wish to use a repeated interval timer on any of the devices described herein, e.g., a timer that provides a user alert that is repeated at a certain interval. For example, if the user is exercising (e.g., interval training), they may wish to receive an alert every 30 seconds to change their mode of exercise or take a break. In another example, a user taking medication may wish to receive an alert to take their medication every hour, 4 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, and so forth. Any suitable interval or duration of time may be used. In some embodiments, the device may display a repeated interval timer user interface. The repeated interval timer user interface may include, for example, an affordance for the user to designate the interval, the timescale for the interval (e.g., seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, etc.), and the like. In response to receiving data representing a user-designated time interval, the device may provide a user alert that is repeated at times based on the user-designated time interval. In some embodiments, the alert may include a visual alert, an audio alert, and/or a haptic alert (e.g., using haptic feedback module 133 and tactile output generator 167), or any combination thereof. Rather than being based on a designated end point (e.g., a reminder for a particular day or time), the repeated interval timer is based on providing the user a demarcation of a particular interval of time. In some embodiments, the repeated interval timer runs until the user ends the timer. In some embodiments, the device may further display an affordance for ending the repeated interval timer (e.g., as part of the repeated interval timer user interface, or at the time of the user alert).
In some embodiments, any of the devices described herein may further generate or receive a user alert including information and display a user notification based on the alert on any of the user interface screens described herein. The user notification may be, for example, a notification banner displayed across a portion of the display. The notification banner may include a portion of the information of the alert. An example of a user alert may include without limitation a determination that the user has crossed the boundary of a time zone. In some embodiments, the device has a location sensor (e.g., GPS sensor 532 and/or GPS module 135), and the device obtains a current location of the device from the location sensor. Using the location sensor, the device may determine whether the current location of the device is in a different time zone, as compared to a previous location of the device, for example the location of the device at the time of a previous user interaction (e.g., the last time the user looked at the display, or the last time the device detected a user movement of the device, such as a wrist raise). In accordance with the determination that the current location is in a different time zone than the previous location, the device may display a notification banner across a portion of the display. In some embodiments, the notification banner may include an alert indicating that the user has crossed a time zone, a notification of the current time in the new time zone, and so forth. In some embodiments, the device may prompt the user whether to accept the time change (e.g., the device may display an affordance for accepting the time change and/or an affordance for rejecting the time change). The user prompt may be displayed as part of the notification banner, or the user prompt may be displayed in response to detecting a user contact on the displayed notification banner. In response to receiving data indicating a user acceptance of the time change (e.g., a contact on the displayed affordance for accepting the time change), the device may update the displayed time based on the new time zone. In response to receiving data indicating a user rejection of the time change (e.g., a contact on the displayed affordance for rejecting the time change), the device may forego updating the displayed time based on the new time zone.

At block 2004, responsive at least in part to receiving the data, the device displays a user interface screen including a clock face (e.g., 606) indicating a first time (the first time precedes a current time). At block 2006, the device updates the user interface screen by animating the clock face to transition from indicating the first time to indicating the current time (animation represents the passage of time from the first time to the current time; see, e.g., 612).

In some embodiments, the processing unit 3506 is further configured to receive (e.g., with receiving unit 3508) second data representing a time of a previous user movement of electronic device 3500, wherein the previous user movement of electronic device 3500 is before receipt of the data representing the user input, and wherein the time of the previous user movement of electronic device 3500 is the first time indicated by the clock face. In some embodiments, the first time precedes the current time by a first duration, and wherein the first duration is a predetermined duration before the current time.

The operations described above with reference to
Attention is now directed toward embodiments of user interfaces and associated processes that may be implemented on an electronic device, such as device 100, 300, or 500.
In some embodiments, device 5300 includes an attachment mechanism for attaching, affixing, or connecting a device to a body part or to clothing of a user. In this manner, device 5300 may be considered a “wearable device,” sometimes simply referred to as a “wearable.” In the examples of
Attention is now directed toward techniques for accessing and presenting information corresponding to past times and future times. In some embodiments, a user interface is configured to present information in the form of complications, which may be visually displayed user interface objects sharing any or all of the characteristics of complications discussed above in this disclosure.
In some embodiments, a user may access a “time scrubbing” mode or a “time travel” mode, and associated user interfaces. In “time scrubbing” or “time travel” mode, a user may advance or rewind a non-current time, also called a “scrubbing time.” “Scrubbing” may refer to the action of progressing through time forward, or progressing through time backward. A user may “scrub forward” as he causes a scrubbing time to advance further into the future (as if fast-forwarding), and a user may “scrub backward” as he causes a scrubbing time to move further into the past (as if rewinding). Rather than corresponding to the current time of day (or to a time somewhere else in the world), the scrubbing time may be set in accordance with a user input. As the user sets and updates the scrubbing time (e.g., as the user scrubs), the information displayed in interfaces associated with time-scrubbing mode may be updated in accordance with the scrubbing time. Namely, the scrubbing time may be displayed on the time scrubbing interface, and a difference between the scrubbing time and the current time may be displayed on the time scrubbing interface. In some embodiments, an indicator of the difference between the current time and the scrubbing time is displayed. In some embodiments, one or more complications may be updated in accordance with the scrubbing time, such that the complications, while the device is in time-scrubbing mode, display information corresponding to the scrubbing time rather than information corresponding to the current time. In this way, the device may appear to “travel” through time as the scrubbing time advances into the future or rewinds into the past, and the displayed complications are updated accordingly. In some embodiments, the complications may display forecasted or predicted information corresponding to a scrubbing time in the future, and may display recorded or historical information corresponding to a scrubbing time in the past.
Features described can allow a user to use time-scrubbing mode to quickly, easily, and intuitively access past and future information corresponding to a plurality of displayed complications; the user may easily view information corresponding to more than one complication for the same point in the future or point in the past, and may appreciate the manner in which the information corresponding to different complications did or will interrelate by virtue of corresponding to the same scrubbing time. For example, a user may scrub forward in time to see that a calendar event later in the day corresponds to a forecasted thunderstorm; information which the user may not have appreciated if the user viewed the future event in a calendar application interface and the forecasted weather in a separate weather application interface.
Attention is now specifically directed to interfaces for time scrubbing a likeness of an analog clock face.
Interface 5340 further includes weather complication 5312, which is a complication configured to indicate weather data for a user-selected location. In some embodiments, weather complication 5312 may be associated with a weather application from which it draws weather data. In some embodiments, weather complication 5312 may be a selectable affordance, such that detection of a user input at a location on display 5302 corresponding to weather complication 5312 may cause an associated interface to be displayed, additional information to be displayed, or an associated application (e.g., a weather application) to be accessed or opened. In some embodiments, weather complication 5312 may display information about the temperature, the precipitation, the wind speed, the cloud cover, or any other relevant or useful weather information.
In some embodiments, weather complication 5312 may display information corresponding to present information, to future information (e.g., future scheduled events, predicted/forecasted information, etc.), or to past information (e.g., historical information, recorded events, past events, past predictions/forecasts, etc.). In the depicted example, weather complication 5312 is displaying current weather information, indicating that the current air temperature is 72°.
Interface 5340 further includes stock-market complication 5314, which is a complication configured to indicate stock-market data. In some embodiments, stock-market complication 5314 may be associated with a stock-market application from which it draws stock-market data. In some embodiments, stock-market complication 5314 may be a selectable affordance, such that detection of a user input at a location on display 5302 corresponding to stock-market complication 5314 may cause an associated interface to be displayed, additional information to be displayed, or an associated application (e.g., a stock-market application) to be accessed or opened. In some embodiments, stock-market complication 5314 may display information about one or more stocks, one or more markets or indexes, one or more portfolios, or any other relevant or useful stock-market information.
In some embodiments, stock-market complication 5314 may display information corresponding to present information or to past information (e.g., historical information, recorded events, past events, or past predictions/forecasts). In some embodiments, stock-market complication 5314 may be incapable of displaying information corresponding to future information, as future stock-market information may be un-knowable. In some embodiments, stock-market complication 5314 may be configured to display certain future information, such as scheduled future purchases or sales, scheduled future events (e.g., markets opening), or projected or predicted future stock market performances. In the depicted example, stock-market complication 5314 is displaying current stock-market information, indicating that the NASDAQ is up 2.45 points on the day.
In the depicted example, interface 5350 retains many of the same elements and features of interface 5340, including the same prominent watch face 5308, and the same complications 5312 and 5314. In some embodiments, the visual appearance of one or more of the elements of interface 5350 differs from the appearance of a corresponding or associated element in interface 5340, so as to indicate that time-scrubbing mode has been activated.
In some embodiments, time-scrubbing mode is a mode of operation of a device in which a user may indicate, by one or more user inputs, a time other than a current time. In accordance with the user's indication of a past or future time, a device may display an indication of the user's indicated time, and may update one or more user interface objects in accordance with the user's indicated time. The updated user interface objects, such as complications, affordances, icons, or the like, may be updated to show information that corresponds to the user's indicated time, which may be called a scrubbing time. Thus, in some embodiments, as a user “scrubs” forward or backward in time, the scrubbing time is continuously updated, and other information displayed on an interface is correspondingly continuously updated, such that the information displayed on the display continuously corresponds to the scrubbing time. In the depicted example of activating and using a time-scrubbing mode of
In the depicted example, interface 5350 differs from interface 5340 in that, in the place of clock hands 5310a and 5310b, interface 5350 includes scrubbing hour hand 5322a and scrubbing minute hand 5322b. In some embodiments, scrubbing hands may be displayed in place of or in addition to non-scrubbing hands (e.g., hands indicating the current time). In some embodiments, scrubbing hands may have the same visual appearance as current-time hands, or may have a different appearance from current-time hands. For example, scrubbing hands may be displayed in a different size, shape, color, highlighting, or animation style as current-time hands. In some embodiments, for example, current-time hands (e.g., hands 5310a and 5310b in
In the depicted example, interface 5350 further differs from interface 5340 by including digital clock face 5317, which displays the current time (11:09). Interface 5350 further differs from interface 5340 by including time difference indicator 5318, which displays an indication of the difference between the current time and the scrubbing time. In the example shown, the scrubbing time is 11:09 and the current time is also 11:09, as the scrubbing time has not yet been moved away from the current time. Therefore, time difference indicator 5318 indicates that there is no difference between the current time and the scrubbing time by indicating a difference of “+0” minutes.
First, in the depicted example, in accordance with user input 5320a, scrubbing hands 5322a and 5322b are moved forward to indicate the scrubbing time. In some embodiments, scrubbing hands may be moved continuously, smoothly, or regularly to match a rotational user input, such that the further and faster a rotational input rotates, the further and faster scrubbing hands may advance. In some embodiments, scrubbing hands may sweep from a previous position into a current position, simulating the appearance of watch hands sweeping into a new position as the watch is set to a new time by rotating a watch crown. In the depicted example, scrubbing hour hand 5322a and scrubbing minute hand 5322b have swept from their previous position in interface 5350 to their new position in interface 5360 (as indicated by the arced arrow showing the movement of scrubbing hour hand 5322b) in accordance with the detection of rotational user input 5320a in
Further, in the depicted example, as scrubbing hands 5322a and 5322b sweep forward as the scrubbing time is advanced into the future, hands 5310a and 5310b, which are current-time hands, are revealed in their place. In some embodiments, hands 5310a and 5310b are identical in appearance as they were in interface 5340 in
Further, in the depicted example, digital clock face 5317 and time difference indicator 5318 have been updated in accordance with the scrubbing time. In the depicted example of interface 5360, digital clock face 5317 has been updated to indicate the new scrubbing time of 11:34, and time difference indicator has been updated to indicate the difference between the current time (11:09) and the scrubbing time (11:34) of “+25” minutes. In some embodiments, user interface objects such as digital clock face 5317 and time difference indicator 5318 may be continuously or intermittently updated as a user scrubs forward or backward in time. Updates may be displayed for each changing second, 15 seconds, minute, 5 minutes, hour, or the like. In some embodiments, one or more animations may be used to depict text or numerals changing as the user scrubs forward or backward in time. In some embodiments, text, numerals, or other characters or elements of a user interface object may be suddenly replaced by a new character as scrubbing is performed, such that the “09” in 11:09 would cease to be displayed and be immediately replaced by a “10.” In some embodiments, one or more characters or other elements of a user interface object may transition by way of an animation; for example, old elements or characters may fade away by becoming increasingly translucent, may shrink in size, may translate in one or more directions, and/or may be displayed as “flipping” out of view to simulate the appearance of a flap-display, split-flap display, or arrival/departure board; new elements or characters may, for example, fade into view by becoming decreasingly translucent, may grow in size, may translate in one or more directions, and/or may be displayed as “flipping” into view to simulate the appearance of a flap-display, split-flap display, or arrival/departure board. In some embodiments, any of the animations described above or elsewhere in this disclosure may be reversed, such that an animation may be displayed in a first order when a user is scrubbing in a first direction, and the animation may be displayed in the opposite order (as if rewinding a video) when a user is scrubbing in the opposite direction.
Further, in the depicted example of
For example, when a scrubbing time is a future time, displayed complications may display future scheduled events such as future calendar events, may display forecasted or projected information (such as a weather forecast) or may indicate a lack of availability of information corresponding to the future time. In the case of a lack of availability of information corresponding to a future time, a complication may affirmatively indicate that no information is available via displayed text or symbol, the complication may cease to be displayed to indicate that no information is available, or the complication may be “freeze” and/or be displayed in a manner so as to indicate that the information displayed in the frozen state does not correspond to the future time (e.g., a complication may be grayed out or faded out with the future-most available information displayed, if the complication is scrubbed so far into the future that no information for the scrubbing time is available).
When a scrubbing time is a past time, displayed complications may display past scheduled events such as a past calendar event, may display previously projected information such as a past weather forecast (e.g., in the absence of available historical data), or may indicate a lack of availability of information corresponding to the past time. In the case of a lack of availability of information corresponding to a past time, a complication may affirmatively indicate that no information is available via displayed text or symbol, the complication may cease to be displayed to indicate that no information is available, or the complication may be “freeze” and/or be displayed in a manner so as to indicate that the information displayed in the frozen state does not correspond to the past time (e.g., a complication may be grayed out or faded out with the oldest available information displayed, if the complication is scrubbed so far into the past that no information for the scrubbing time is available).
In some embodiments, a complication may cease to display information when no information is available for or relevant to a certain period of time. For example, if a complication relates to a daily performance of a stock index, then, as a user scrubs backwards through time, the complication may cease to display any information when the user scrubs to the early morning hours, or to a weekend, when the stock market was not open and no daily performance is considered relevant. As a user continues to scrub in the same direction, relevant information may again be displayed as the user scrubs through additional scrubbing times, such as reaching another period when the stock market was open and beginning to display a daily performance for the stock index for that day and time.
In the example depicted in
In response to detecting either user input 5324a or 5324b, or any other suitable predetermined user input, device 5300 may cause time-scrubbing mode to be ceased and may cease to display time scrubbing interfaces. In some embodiments, updated complications may return to their original appearance before time-scrubbing mode was engaged, or may change to an appearance corresponding to a new current time other than the current time that was current when time-scrubbing mode was engaged. In some embodiments, indications that time-scrubbing mode is active, such as digital clock face 5317, time difference indicator 5318, and scrubbing hands 5322a and 5322b may cease to be displayed. In some embodiments, hands corresponding to a current time, such as hands 5310a and 5310b, may return to their original visual appearance and style from before time-scrubbing mode was engaged. Any of these changes may be made by way of any of the animations described above, including a reversed and/or accelerated version of any such animation. In the depicted example, in response to detecting user input 5324a or 5324b, device 5300 ceases to display user interface 5360 and displays user interface 5340 again; user interface 5340 indicates that the current time is still 11:09 and that the information corresponding to both weather complication 5312 (72°) and stock-market complication 5314 (NASDAQ+2.45) has not changed since time-scrubbing mode was activated.
Attention is now specifically directed to interfaces for time scrubbing a digital clock face. In the depicted example of activating and using a time-scrubbing mode of
Interface 5370 includes digital watch face 5328, which is indicating that the current time is 11:09. Interface 5370 also includes day/date object 5326, which is indicating that the current day of the week is Tuesday and that the current date is July 10. In some embodiments, day/date object 5326 may be considered a complication, and may be referred to as a day/date complication.
In the depicted example, interface 5380 includes object 5326 and complications 5312 and 5314 in the same manner as described above with reference to interface 5370 in
In the depicted example, interface 5380 differs from interface 5370 in several ways that indicate that time-scrubbing mode has been activated. In the depicted example, interface 5380 differs from interface 5370 in that digital clock face 5328 has translated to the top right corner of display 5302 (as indicated by the diagonal arrow) and has decreased in size. In some embodiments, this transition may include an animation of the translation and the resizing. In some embodiments, when digital clock face 5328 is moved from its position in interface 5370 to its position in interface 5380, it may be displayed in a different size, shape, color, highlighting, or animation style. In some embodiments, the shape, color, highlighting, and/or animation style of digital clock face 5328 may remain unchanged as digital clock face translates and is resized between interface 5370 in
In some embodiments, when digital clock face 5328 transitions to the top corner of display 5302 as time-scrubbing mode is activated, a visual indicator indicating that digital clock face 5328 indicates a current time may be displayed. In the depicted example, the word “NOW” is displayed on display 5302 near the top left corner of display 5302. In some embodiments, the visual indicator, such as the word “NOW,” may be displayed in a similar or identical visual style as digital clock face 5328 following its transition into its position in interface 5380. For example, the word “NOW” may be displayed in a similar size, font, color, highlighting, and/or animation style as digital clock face 5328 in interface 5380. In the depicted example, the word “NOW” or another indicator may appear in a white color when digital clock face 5328 appears in a white color.
In the depicted example, interface 5380 further differs from interface 5370 by including digital clock face 5332, which is a second digital clock face that has appeared in the position on display 5302 that was previously occupied by digital clock face 5328 (before its transition and resizing) in interface 5370 in
First, in the depicted example, in accordance with user input 5320b, digital clock face 5332 has changed from displaying “11:09” to instead displaying “11:24,” thereby indicating the scrubbing time. In some embodiments, a digital clock face may be stepped forward in accordance with a rotational user input, such that the further and faster a rotational input rotates, the further and faster a digital clock face indicating a scrubbing time may advance. In some embodiments, displayed numerals on a digital clock face may change iteratively, such as once for every minute scrubbed, once for every five minutes scrubbed, or the like. Updates may be displayed for each changing second, 15 seconds, minute, 5 minutes, hour, or the like. In some embodiments, displayed numerals on a digital clock face may change gradually or smoothly, such as by fading into and out of view or translating into or out of view. In some embodiments, displayed numerals on a digital clock face may be animated as changing individually (e.g., number by number), and in some embodiments displayed numerals on a digital clock face may be animated as changing as a group (e.g., part of, or the entire, digital clock face changes together). In some embodiments, one or more of the numerals or other elements displayed as part of a digital clock face, including digital clock face 5332, may change in any of the manners described above with reference to digital clock face 5317 and
Further, in the depicted example, as digital clock face 5332 advances further as the scrubbing time is advanced into the future, digital clock face 5328 may remain fixed and continue to display the current time. (If the current time advances with the passage of time, digital clock face 5328 may accordingly advance, and a scrubbing clock face such as digital clock face 5332 may also accordingly advance to maintain the same offset between the current time and the scrubbing time.) In some embodiments, a time difference indicator may be displayed as part of user interface 5390 (and/or 5380 in
Further, in the depicted example of
In response to detecting either user input 5334a or 5334b, or any other suitable predetermined user input, device 5300 may cause time-scrubbing mode to be ceased and may cease to display time scrubbing interfaces. In some embodiments, updated complications may return to their original appearance before time-scrubbing mode was engaged, or may change to an appearance corresponding to a new current time other than the current time that was current when time-scrubbing mode was engaged. In some embodiments, indications that time-scrubbing mode is active, such as digital clock face 5332, may cease to be displayed, and user interface objects that moved position and/or changed appearance, such as digital clock face 5328, may return to their original visual appearance and style from before time-scrubbing mode was activated. Any of these changes may be made by way of any of the animations described above, including a reversed and/or accelerated version of any such animation. In the depicted example, in response to detecting user input 5334a or 5334b, device 5300 ceases to display user interface 5390 and displays user interface 5370 again; user interface 5370 indicates that the current time is still 11:09 and that the information corresponding to both weather complication 5312 (72°) and stock-market complication 5314 (NASDAQ+2.45) has not changed since time-scrubbing mode was activated.
As described below, method 700 provides an intuitive way to access and present information corresponding to past times and future times. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for accessing and presenting information corresponding to past times and future times, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to access and present information corresponding to past times and future times, such as in a time-scrubbing mode in which displayed complications may be scrubbed forward and/or backward in time, conserves power and increases the time between battery charges, by reducing the number of inputs required, reducing processing power used, and/or reducing the time of usage of the device.
In some embodiments, a device may display a current-time indicator displaying a current time. In response to a user input (such as a tap on a touch-sensitive display on the current-time indicator), the device may display, in addition to the current-time indicator, a non-current-time indicator. In response to and in accordance with a user input (such as a rotation of a rotatable input mechanism such as a crown of a smart watch), the time displayed by the non-current-time indicator may be scrubbed forward or backward. In accordance with the scrubbing of the non-current time to a future or past time, one or more complications or other user interface objects may be updated to correspond to the non-current time, by displaying information relating to the complication and correlating to the non-current time rather than the current time.
In
A block 5404, the device displays a first current-time indicator indicating a current time. In some embodiments, a current-time indicator is any watch face, clock face, or other indication of a time that is configured, designed, or understood to display a current time, such as the current time of day in the timezone in which a user is currently located. In some situations, a current-time indicator may be displaying a non-current time, such as when the watch is not set for the correct time; however, in most situations, a current-time indicator will display the correct current time. In the example of interface 5340 in
At block 5406, the device displays a first user interface object configured to display information corresponding to the current time, wherein the information corresponding to the current time pertains to a first information source and is information other than a day, time, or date of the current time. In some embodiments, the first user interface object may be a complication, as described above, and may be configured to display information corresponding to a certain subject matter or a certain information source. In some embodiments, complications may correspond to weather information, to stock market information, to calendar information, to day/date information, to time information, to world clock information, to social media information, to message information, to email information, to pedometer information, to health/fitness information, to exercise information, to alarm information, to stopwatch information, to information associated with third-party applications, or to any other suitable information that may be visually presented as part of a complication or other user interface object. In the examples of interfaces 5340 and 5370 in
In some embodiments, user interface objects or complications may be configured to display information that is the most current information available, such as a most recent temperature reading or a most recent stock score. In some embodiments, user interface objects or complications may be configured to display information that explicitly relates to the current time, such as a calendar event that is occurring at the current time, or a proximate calendar event that is occurring at a time in the near future or a time in the near past with reference to the current time.
At block 5408, optionally, the device detects a first touch contact at a location corresponding to the first current-time indicator. In some embodiments, the input may be one or more touch contacts detected by a touch-sensitive and/or pressure-sensitive surface, such as a touch-screen. In some embodiments, the first touch contact may be detected at a location on a touch-screen at which the first current-time indicator is currently displayed. In some embodiments, a user may tap a current-time indicator such as a displayed watch face or a digital clock face, and a device may responsively activate a time-scrubbing mode and display associated time-scrubbing interfaces. In the example of interface 5340 in
At block 5410, optionally, in response to detecting the first touch contact, the device displays a non-current-time indicator indicating the current time. In some embodiments, when time-scrubbing mode is activated, a non-current-time indicator is displayed. A non-current-time indicator may be any watch face, clock face, or other indication of a time that is configured, designed, or understood to display a non-current time. In some embodiments, a non-current-time indicator may indicate a “scrubbing time” that is displayed when time-scrubbing mode is activated; the scrubbing time may be a time that is set in accordance with user inputs and is used to change what information is displayed by complications or other user interface objects during time-scrubbing mode. In some embodiments, the non-current-time indicator may suddenly appear upon the activation of time-scrubbing mode, while in some embodiments the non-current-time indicator may appear by way of animation such as translating into position or gradually becoming less transparent (e.g., fading in).
In some embodiments, a scrubbing time, such as one displayed on a scrubbing watch face or a scrubbing clock face, may be set in accordance with user inputs, and may also be set to the current time (such that the scrubbing time and the current time may be the same time). In some embodiments, when a time-scrubbing mode is initially activated and a user input or instruction has not yet been received to set a scrubbing time, the scrubbing time is automatically set to the current time as a starting point. In this way, in some embodiments, a non-current-time indicator such as a scrubbing watch face or a scrubbing clock face may sometimes display the current time. In such instances, despite the non-current-time indicator displaying a time that is the same as the current time, a user may understand that the non-current-time indicator is not an indication of the current time per se, but rather an indication that a scrubbing time is set to a time that is the same as the current time.
In the depicted example of interface 5350 of
In the depicted example of interface 5380 in
In some embodiments, such as when a user executes multiple user inputs to scrub a scrubbing time forward and then backward, or backward and then forward, to return the scrubbing time to zero, a non-current-time indicator indicating the current time may also be responsively displayed.
At block 5412, the device detects a first rotation of the rotatable input mechanism. In some embodiments, a first rotation of the rotatable input mechanism may comprise one or more rotations in one or more directions, having one or more speeds, having one or more durations, and having one or more spacings relative to one another. In some embodiments, a first rotation of the rotatable input mechanism may comprise a single rotation of a rotatable input mechanism in a predefined rotational direction. In some embodiments, a user may rotate a rotatable input mechanism in a first direction, and a device may responsively scrub a scrubbing time forward into the future (or, in some embodiments, backward into the past). In some embodiments, the first rotation of a rotatable input mechanism may begin to be detected when a time-scrubbing mode is inactive, while in some embodiments it may begin to be detected while a time-scrubbing mode is already activated. In the depicted examples of
In
At block 5414, blocks 5416 to 5442 (some of which are optional), shown in
At block 5416, in response to detecting the first rotation of the rotatable input mechanism, the device displays a non-current-time indicator indicating a first non-current time determined in accordance with the first rotation. In some embodiments, the first non-current-time indicator may be any of the non-current-time indicators described above with reference to block 5410, or may share some or all of the characteristics of the non-current-time indicators described above. In some embodiments, in contrast to the non-current-time indicator in block 5410, the non-current-time indicator displayed in block 5414 (which may be a different non-current-time indicator or the same non-current-time indicator) indicates a non-current time that is determined in accordance with the first rotation. In some embodiments, the indicated non-current time is a scrubbing time, and the scrubbing time is determined in accordance with a user's rotational scrubbing input.
In some embodiments, when the rotational input is detected before the activation of time-scrubbing mode, a non-current-time indicator, such as a scrubbing-time digital clock face or scrubbing hands on an analog clock face, may begin to be displayed and display a user-selected scrubbing time. In some embodiments, when the rotational input is detected once a time-scrubbing mode has already been activated, then a previously displayed non-current-time indicator may be modified to display a newly selected scrubbing time.
In some embodiments, a scrubbing time for a time-scrubbing mode may be selected in accordance with a characteristic of the rotational input, and the selected scrubbing time may be displayed by the non-current-time indicator. In some embodiments, the non-current-time indicator may display an animation of the indicator changing to the newly selected scrubbing time, including any of the animation styles discussed above with reference to digital clock face 5317 and
In some embodiments, a rotation of a rotational input mechanism in one direction may cause scrubbing forward, while a rotation of the rotational input mechanism in a direction substantially opposite to the one direction may cause scrubbing backward. In some embodiments, the rate of scrubbing (forward or backward) may be proportionally related to the rate of rotation; in some embodiments, the amount of time scrubbed may be proportionally related to the distance (e.g., angular rotation) of rotation. In some embodiments, the scrubbing rate and amount of time scrubbed may simulate the effect of a watch crown, where clock hands are physically connected to the crown by a series of gears, and accordingly the movement of the hands follows a user's twisting of the crown, reflecting a rotation of the crown by way of a predefined gear ratio. (In some embodiments, the rate and distance of scrubbing of a digital clock face may be the same as the rate and distance of scrubbing of a displayed likeness of an analog clock face.)
In some embodiments, a device may provide different “gearings” for different available faces. That is, a user may select between more than one watch or clock interface, and, depending on the interface selected, the speed and distance of scrubbing in response to a given rotational input may vary. For example, in some embodiments, an interface displaying (as a time indicator) a likeness of the globe may display one rotation of the globe (approximately 24 hours) in response to a first rotation of the rotational input. Meanwhile, in some embodiments, an interface displaying (as a time indicator) a likeness of the solar system may display one revolution of the Earth (approximately 365 days) in response to the same first rotation of the rotational input. Differences in the amount of time scrubbed in response to a given rotational input may similarly be provided between other watch faces, such as an analog face like the one shown in interface 5340 in
In some embodiments, the rate of time scrubbing and/or the amount of time scrubbed in response to a rotational input may not have a fixed relationship to the angular magnitude of the rotational input. That is, in some embodiments, a rotational input of a given angular magnitude may result in different amounts of time scrubbed, depending on various other factors. As discussed above, in some embodiments, different interfaces may be associated with different default gearings. In some embodiments, a user may manually select different gearings, for example by executing an input on a displayed user interface object or by executing an input by actuating a hardware button (e.g., executing one or more presses of a rotatable and depressible input mechanism).
In some embodiments, a gearing may not be fixed, such that, during the course of an ongoing rotational input, the relative rate (e.g., instantaneous rate) of time scrubbing as compared to the rate (e.g., instantaneous rate) of rotation of the rotatable input mechanism may be increased and/or decreased. For example, a variable gearing may be configured such that rotation below a threshold speed (e.g., angular rotation per second) causes time scrubbing at a first rate or a first gearing, while rotation above the threshold speed causes time scrubbing at an accelerated rate or an accelerated fearing. In this way, when a user wishes to scrub by a large amount of time, the device may recognize their rapid rotation of the rotational input mechanism and accordingly accelerate the time scrubbing rate, helping the user to more easily scrub by a large distance. In some embodiments, during an ongoing rotational input, if the speed of a rotational input drops below a predefined speed threshold after the time scrubbing rate has been accelerated, then the time scrubbing rate may be decelerated and/or returned to its original rate; this deceleration may aid a user who has used accelerated scrubbing to move the scrubbing time by a large amount, enabling the user to more precisely set the final desired scrubbing time as the user begins to slow his rotational input. In some embodiments, gearing may be dynamically varied in accordance with any characteristic of a user input, such as a speed, a direction, a distance (e.g., angular distance), and/or a pressure.
In some embodiments in which a time scrubbing speed is accelerated, it should be noted that an animation of time scrubbing may be different for accelerated scrubbing than for non-accelerated scrubbing. For example, in some embodiments, for non-accelerated scrubbing, a device may provide a first animation of numbers on a digital clock face changing (with or without an accompanying animation such as a translation or a flipping effect) or a first animation of a minute hand and an hour hand sweeping around a clock face. Meanwhile, in some embodiments, for accelerated scrubbing, a device may provide one or more different animations, such as blurring numbers on a digital clock face to signify that they are being changed rapidly, or by providing an animation of a blurred minute hand (or hiding a minute hand altogether) in order to avoid the minute hand appearing to “jump” from one position to another on a display without sweeping through intermediate positions. In some embodiments, such alternate animations for accelerated scrubbing may be provided as part of an accelerated scrubbing mode, sometimes called a “turbo mode.”
In some embodiments, a scrubbing time may be set partially in accordance with a user's input and partially in accordance with predefined scrubbing times. For example, in some embodiments, predefined scrubbing times may be configured such that, when a user executes an input that would set a scrubbing time to a predefined range of times, the actual scrubbing time is set to a predefined time. For example, if a predefined scrubbing time is 12:00 noon, and the user rotates a rotational input mechanism an appropriate distance and speed to set the scrubbing time to 11:58, then the scrubbing time may be rounded to 12:00 noon and set to 12:00 noon. The range of scrubbing times that will “snap” to a predefined scrubbing time may be set to any suitable length of time, such as one minute, five minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, one hour, six hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 2 days, one week, one month, one year, etc. In some embodiments, a device may snap to different predefined scrubbing times depending on what interface a user is using; for example, in an interface featuring a likeness of the Earth or a representation of the sun, the device may be configured to “snap” to scrubbing times to times corresponding to sunset, sunrise, or high noon. As another example, in interfaces featuring a likeness of the solar system, the device may be configured to “snap” to scrubbing times corresponding to astronomical events such as planet alignments or eclipses.
In some embodiments, predefined scrubbing times may be determined in accordance with user input. In some embodiments, a user may manually set predefined scrubbing times, such as by setting “snap” times or selecting a “snap” interval. In some embodiments, predefined scrubbing times may be set in accordance with data or information relating to one or more user interface objects or complications. For example, a device may be configured to round a scrubbing time to the time at which a calendar event begins or ends. In some embodiments, a device may be configured to round a scrubbing time to times at which data for a complication changes, becomes available, or ceases to be available. In some embodiments, a device may be configured to slow or stop a scrubbing rate in accordance with a calendar event or other scheduled event being reached while scrubbing forward or backward, and a device may be configured to snap or round a scrubbing time to a time corresponding to the calendar event or scheduled event.
In the depicted example of interface 5360 in
At block 5418, optionally, the first non-current time is a future time. In some embodiments, a non-current scrubbing time may be a time that is in the future as compared to the current time. In some embodiments, a user may scrub to a future time in a time-scrubbing mode by executing a rotation of a rotatable input mechanism in a predefined direction. A predefined direction of rotation for scrubbing into the future may be substantially opposite to a predefined direction of rotation for scrubbing into the past. In the examples of interfaces 5360 and 5390 in
At block 5420, optionally, the first non-current time is a past time. In some embodiments, a non-current scrubbing time may be a time that is in the past as compared to the current time. In some embodiments, a user may scrub to a past time in a time-scrubbing mode by executing a rotation of a rotatable input mechanism in a predefined direction. A predefined direction of rotation for scrubbing into the past may be substantially opposite to a predefined direction of rotation for scrubbing into the future.
At block 5421, the non-current-time indicator is displayed at a location at which the first current-time indicator was displayed before the detection of the first rotation of the rotatable input mechanism. In some embodiments, a non-current-time indicator, such as one that is newly displayed upon the activation of time-scrubbing mode, may be displayed at a location at which a current-time indicator was previously displayed before the activation of time-scrubbing mode. In some embodiments, the non-current-time indicator may appear in its displayed position by way of any of the animations discussed above with reference to digital clock face 5317 and
At block 5422, in response to detecting the first rotation of the rotatable input mechanism, the device updates the first user interface object to display information corresponding to the first non-current time, wherein the information corresponding to the first non-current time pertains to the first information source and is information other than a day, time, or date of the first non-current time. In some embodiments, when a user executes a rotational input as a command to scrub time forward or backward, one or more user interface objects displayed on a user interface, such as one or more complications, may be updated in accordance with the newly selected scrubbing time. In some embodiments, a user interface object or a complication may be predetermined to correspond to a first information source, subject matter, and/or a first application, and scrubbing time forward or backward will not change the information source, subject matter, or application to which a complication or user interface object pertains. For example, in some embodiments, when a complication is configured to display information pertaining to the weather obtained from a weather application, scrubbing the time forward or backward may not change that the complication displays weather information obtained from a weather application—rather, the change may be with respect to the time (rather than subject matter or information source) to which the displayed information pertains. That is, if the weather complication is configured to display current weather information (e.g., the most up-to-date temperature reading available) when a device is not in time-scrubbing mode, then scrubbing the time forward may cause the weather complication to instead display forecasted or projected weather information, while scrubbing the time backward may cause the device to display historical weather information (or past projected weather information) in some embodiments.
In some embodiments, information may be considered to correspond to a time when the information is stored, linked, tagged, or associated with metadata indicating that the information corresponds to that time. For example, a piece of information (such as a weather forecast) may be stored locally or remotely from the device, and may be associated with a metadata or other tag that indicates a future time to which the weather forecast data corresponds (e.g., the time for the weather forecast). In some embodiments, as a user scrubs forward or backward through time, the device may determine when to display the weather forecast data by comparing the displayed scrubbing time to the time associated with the tag or metadata of the stored weather forecast (or other stored data entry).
In some embodiments, a user interface object such as a complication may be updated dynamically as a user scrubs time forward and/or scrubs time backward. In some embodiments, information displayed by a complication may be updated with each displayed change to the non-current-time indicator, or it may be updated in accordance with predefined periods of scrubbing time (e.g., 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 1 hour, 1 day, etc.). In some embodiments, information displayed by a complication may be updated as frequently as new or different information from the currently displayed information is available; for example, if a weather forecast predicts a steady temperature for the next hour, and then an increase by one degree, then a complication displaying a weather temperature may not display any change as the user scrubs through the first hour, then may display the increased temperature when the scrubbing time reaches the time at which the forecasted temperature changes.
In some embodiments, a user interface object such as a complication may be updated by way of an animation, including any of the animations described above with reference to digital clock face 5317 and
In the example of interfaces 5360 and 5390 in
At block 5424, optionally, the information corresponding to the first non-current time comprises projected data. In some embodiments, the information displayed by a user interface object or complication that has been updated in a time-scrubbing mode may include projected or forecasted information, such as a weather forecast. In some embodiments, when forecasted or projected information (rather than known or scheduled information) is displayed, an indication (such as a visual symbol, a display stylization, etc.) may be provided to alert the user that the information is a forecast or a projection. In the example of interfaces 5360 and 5390 in
In some embodiments, forecasted or projected information may pertain to a future scrubbing time, in that the prediction or forecast was made about a future time, such that the user is provided with a forecast or a prediction for the future. In some embodiments, forecasted or projected information may pertain to a past time, in that the prediction or forecast was made at a past time, such that the user is provided with a previous prediction or forecast.
At block 5426, optionally, the information corresponding to the first non-current time comprises a scheduled event. In some embodiments, information displayed by a complication may include calendar information such as the name of a scheduled event, the time of a scheduled event, the place of a scheduled event, participants or invitees to a scheduled event, or other information about a scheduled event. For example, a complication may be configured to display information from a user's personal calendar; in some embodiments, the complication may display the name of a current calendar event, such as “Conference Call.” In some embodiments, the complication may display the name of a nearest upcoming calendar event. In some embodiments, when a user scrubs forward or backward in time, such a calendar complication may change to display information corresponding to a calendar event scheduled for the scrubbing time, or to display information corresponding to a nearest upcoming calendar event with respect to the scrubbing time.
In some embodiments, when scrubbing into the future and/or the past, the device may determine what information to display in a different manner than the device determines what information to display for the current time when time-scrubbing mode is not activated. For example, if a meeting is scheduled for 12:00 noon, then a calendar complication may, in some embodiments, display information pertaining to the 12:00 noon meeting starting at a time before 12:00 noon, such as 11:00 a.m. or 9:00 a.m., or whenever a previous calendar event concludes. In this way, the user may see the calendar event regarding the 12:00 noon meeting before the time of the meeting, and is less likely to forget about the meeting and be late. Thus, information may be displayed about the meeting for a period of time that extends beyond (e.g., before) the time of the calendar event in the user's calendar. In some embodiments, the same thing may not be true in time-scrubbing mode. For example, in some embodiments, when a user enters time-scrubbing mode, a calendar complication may suppress display of information pertaining to calendar events when the scrubbing time is not set to a time for which the calendar event is actually scheduled. Thus, for a noon meeting, despite the device displaying the meeting, in some embodiments, outside time-scrubbing mode when the current time is 11:09, display of the meeting may be suppressed in time-scrubbing mode when the scrubbing time is set to 11:09. In some embodiments, suppressing display of calendar events in time-scrubbing mode when the scrubbing time is not set to a time for which the calendar event is actually scheduled may aid a user's quick comprehension of the time for which calendar events are scheduled when a user is scrubbing through time quickly. (Note that, in other embodiments, time-scrubbing mode may display calendar information when the scrubbing time is not set to a time for which the calendar event is scheduled; in some such embodiments, the device may display a time for the calendar event to aid a user's understanding of the time of the calendar event as the user is scrubbing through time.)
At block 5428, optionally, the information corresponding to the first non-current time comprises historical data. In some embodiments, information displayed by a complication may include historical information such as recorded data or other information. Recorded data or other information, in some embodiments, may include recorded measurements, figures, readings, statistics, or events. Recorded data or other information, in some embodiments, may include recorded forecasts or recorded predictions. Recorded data or other information, in some embodiments, may include any information regarding the previous state of a device and/or of a user interface. In some embodiments, as a user scrubs through past times, a device may display historical data that pertains to the past scrubbing time. In some embodiments, historical information may pertain to a past scrubbing time in that the information itself concerns the past scrubbing time (e.g., a weather temperature reading at the time). In some embodiments, historical information may pertain to a past scrubbing time in that the information was recorded or created at the past scrubbing time (e.g., a weather forecast made at the past scrubbing time).
Block 5430 optionally follows from blocks 5416-5420. At block 5430, optionally, in response to detecting the first rotation of the rotatable input mechanism, the device updates the first user interface object to indicate a lack of information corresponding to the first non-current time. In some embodiments, as a user is scrubbing forward or backward in time in a time-scrubbing mode, a user interface object or complication may cease to be displayed to indicate that there is no information to be displayed corresponding to the selected scrubbing time. For example, when a user scrubs a stock-market complication to a future time, stock information may not be available for the future time; accordingly, the complication (or part of the complication) may cease to be displayed. A similar result could occur when a user scrubs so far forward in time that reliable projection or forecast data is not available; for example, a user may scrub so far into the future that no weather forecast is available, and a weather complication could cease to be displayed. A similar result could occur when a user scrubs so far backward in time that historical data is no longer available; for example, a device (or an information source to which the device has access) may only cache or otherwise store a limited amount of historical information, and when a user scrubs beyond that point, a complication may cease to be displayed. A similar result could also occur when a user scrubs to a time to which no calendar data applies; for example, if a user scrubs to a time at which no events are scheduled on a calendar, then a device may cease to display a calendar complication.
In some embodiments, when a user scrubs to a time for which no relevant information is available for display by a complication, a complication may fade to a translucent appearance, may be displayed in a faded or muted color scheme, or may be displayed in a grayed-out color scheme, to indicate to the user that no information is available for the selected scrubbing time. In some such embodiments, the complication may continue to display, in the altered (e.g., faded or grayed-out) manner, the information that was most recently displayed by the complication. This may help the user to know that information pertaining to the selected scrubbing time is not available, while allowing the user to remain oriented to, and aware of, the complication's presence.

Block 5432 follows from blocks 5422-5428, or optionally from block 5430. At block 5432, in response to detecting the first rotation of the rotatable input mechanism, the device displays one of the first current-time indicator and a second current-time indicator. In some embodiments, block 5432 may optionally be performed in response to detecting a user input that activates a time-scrubbing mode, such as the user input detected at block 5408. In some embodiments, when a time-scrubbing mode is activated (whether by a touch contact detected on a touch-sensitive surface or by a rotation of a rotatable input mechanism), in addition to displaying a non-current-time indicator indicating a scrubbing time, the device may also display a current-time indicator. In some embodiments, the current-time indicator displayed in time-scrubbing mode may be the same current-time indicator that was displayed before the activation of time-scrubbing mode, such as the current-time indicator displayed at block 5404, such that the same current-time indicator continues to be displayed. In some embodiments, the current-time indicator displayed in time-scrubbing mode may be a second current-time indicator different from the current-time indicator that was displayed before the activation of time-scrubbing mode.
At block 5434, optionally, displaying the first current-time indicator in response to detecting the first rotation comprises displaying the first current-time indicator with a modified visual appearance. In some embodiments, upon the activation of time-scrubbing mode, the visual appearance of the first current-time indicator may be altered in such a way so as to signal to the user that time-scrubbing mode has been activated and to direct the user's focus to the non-current-time indicator rather than the current-time indicator. For example, a size, shape, color, highlighting, and/or animation style of a current-time indicator may be altered upon the activation of time-scrubbing mode.
In some embodiments, a current-time indicator may be displayed in a faded, muted, partially transparent, or grayed-out color scheme while time-scrubbing mode is active. In the depicted example of interface 5360 in
In the example of interface 5380 in
In some embodiments, a current-time indicator may be displayed in a smaller size than it was displayed before the activation of a time-scrubbing mode. In the depicted example of interface 5380 in
At block 5436, optionally, displaying the first current-time indicator in response to detecting the first rotation comprises displaying the first current-time indicator in a different position on the display than a position at which it was displayed prior to detecting the first rotation. In some embodiments, upon the activation of time-scrubbing mode, a current-time indicator may cease to be displayed in one position and instead be displayed in another position. The position at which the current-time indicator is displayed during time-scrubbing mode may be a less prominent position than the prior position, such as a position closer to an edge or corner of the display. In the example of interface 5390 in
At block 5438, optionally, displaying the first current-time indicator in response to detecting the first rotation comprises animating the first current-time indicator from its initial position to the different position on the display. In some embodiments, the animation may comprise the indicator fading away (e.g., becoming more transparent) from its old position and/or fading into (e.g., becoming less transparent) its new position. In some embodiments, the animation may include translating the object across the display. In some embodiments, the animation may include displaying the object increasing or decreasing in size. In some embodiments, the animation may include any of the animations described above with respect to digital clock face 5317 and
At block 5440, optionally, in response to detecting the first rotation of the rotatable input mechanism, the device displays a time difference indicator indicating a time difference between the current time and the first non-current time. In some embodiments, a time difference indicator may be any user interface object that indicates a difference between one time and another time, such as the difference between a current time and a scrubbing time. In some embodiments, a time difference indicator may indicate a number of seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, etc. In some embodiments, a time difference indicator may indicate whether a scrubbing time is in the future or in the past relative to a current time. In some embodiments, a time difference indicator is automatically displayed upon activation of time-scrubbing mode. In some embodiments, explicitly displaying the difference between the scrubbing time and the current time may help a user to more easily understand and contextualize how far away from the current time the scrubbing time (and the corresponding information displayed in the complications) is. In the example of interfaces 5350 and 5360 in
In some embodiments, when time-scrubbing mode is activated, elements previously displayed on the display may be removed from the display. For example, in some embodiments, complications or other user interface objects displayed at a portion of the display where a time difference indicator is displayed may be removed from the display (e.g., the device may cease to display them) during time-scrubbing mode. In some embodiments, the same may be true of interface objects or complications that are displayed at a location on the display where a current-time indicator (or an accompanying object such as the displayed word “NOW”) is displayed when time-scrubbing mode is active. In some embodiments, complications may be removed from the display upon the activation of time-scrubbing mode without regard for whether any other object will be displayed at the same location on the display during time-scrubbing mode. In some embodiments, when a current-time indicator or a time-difference indicator is displayed at or moved to a location of a display at which numbers on a likeness of an analog clock face were displayed, the numbers on the likeness of the analog clock face may be hidden; for example, if a current-time indicator or time-difference indicator is displayed near the bottom of a clock interface in a time-scrubbing mode, then the numbers “5,” “6,” and “7” may be hidden on the clock face. In some embodiments, dials or sub-dials displayed in a device interface (such as any dial described elsewhere in this disclosure) may cease to be displayed upon the activation of time-scrubbing mode when a time-difference indicator or a current-time indicator is displayed at a portion of the display at which the dial or sub-dial was previously displayed.
In some embodiments, user interface elements displayed before the activation of a time-scrubbing mode may change in size or appearance in order to make room for the display of a time-difference indicator or a current-time indicator in time-scrubbing mode. For example, in some embodiments, previously-displayed tick marks may be replaced by or animated as transitioning into dots, which may be smaller in size and/or may have more empty space between them on the display. In some embodiments, any suitable user interface object may shrink in size and/or change locations on the display upon the activation of time-scrubbing mode, including to create space on the display for the display of a time-difference indicator and/or a current-time indicator or associated user interface objects.
In
Blocks 5442, 5444-5446, and 5448 each follow, optionally, from blocks 5414-5440.
At block 5442, optionally, in response to a passage of time, the device updates the non-current-time indicator to indicate a second non-current time in accordance with the passage of time, such that a time difference between the current time and a presently indicated non-current time remains fixed. In some embodiments, as time passes, the current time is accordingly updated to keep time. Additionally to updating the current time, the device, in some embodiments, also updates a non-current time, such as a scrubbing time for time-scrubbing mode, in accordance with the passage of time. In this way, in some embodiments, once a user has set a scrubbing time, the difference between the scrubbing time and the current time may remain fixed even as time passes. Thus, in some embodiments, when a scrubbing time is set to the future, the current time will not “catch up” to the scrubbing time, because the scrubbing time will advance in time in parallel to the current time.
In some embodiments, as the scrubbing time is advanced in accordance with the passage of time, complications and other user interface objects may be accordingly updated, in accordance with any of the methods explained above, to reflect the newly updated scrubbing time. Thus, a complication in time-scrubbing mode may be updated, in some embodiments, both in accordance with the scrubbing time being altered by user input and in accordance with the scrubbing time being altered by the passage of time.
At block 5444, optionally, while displaying the updated first user interface object displaying information corresponding to the first non-current time, the device detects a second touch contact at a location corresponding to the updated first user interface object, and in response to detecting the second touch contact, displays a user interface corresponding to the first user interface object. The touch contact detected may be a single-touch input, a multi-touch input, a single-tap input, and/or a multi-tap input detected by touch- and/or pressure-sensitive elements in any touch- and/or pressure-sensitive surface, including a touch-screen. In some embodiments, complications or other user interface objects that are updated in accordance with a scrubbing time in time-scrubbing mode may be selectable affordances, such that if a device detects an input at a location corresponding to the complication, then an interface or application associated with the complication may be accessed. For example, a user may tap on a weather complication, in some embodiments, such as weather complication 5312, to cause an associated weather application to be opened. In another example, a user may tap on a stock-market complication such as stock-market complication 5314, and, in some embodiments, a stock-market application may be opened. In the depicted example of
At block 5446, optionally, the user interface displayed in accordance with the detection of a second touch contact at a location corresponding to the updated first user interface object corresponds to the first non-current time. In some embodiments, the functionality of tapping or otherwise selecting complications or other user interface objects may vary in accordance with the displayed scrubbing time, such that a different application or interface may be provided depending on what the scrubbing time is set to at the moment of the user's selection. For example, in response to a user tapping a weather complication when the device is scrubbed to a past time, an interface of a weather application showing historical weather data for the scrubbed-to past time may be displayed; in response to a user tapping a weather complication when the device is scrubbed to a future time, an interface of a weather application showing forecasted weather for the scrubbed-to future time may be displayed. In another example, in response to a user tapping a calendar complication, a calendar event that is scheduled for the scrubbed-to time may be opened, and an interface for that specific event may be displayed. In the depicted example of
In some embodiments, a displayed complication may correspond to an interface of the device that is configured to display a likeness of the Earth, the moon, and/or the solar system. In some embodiments, if a user scrubs time forward or backward on a scrubbing interface that contains such a complication, and then taps the complication to select it, then a corresponding Earth, moon, and/or solar system interface may be displayed, wherein the Earth, moon, and/or solar system interface is itself scrubbed forward to the scrubbing time of the previous interface. In some embodiments, a user may select complications corresponding to Earth, moon, and/or solar system interfaces to cause an animation to be displayed of the interface “flying” (e.g., smoothly zooming and panning) between views of the Earth, views of the moon, and/or views of the solar system. As the user flies between these various interfaces, in some embodiments, time scrubbing may be maintained, and the scrubbing time may be reflected in the complications displayed in each interface and/or in the displayed likenesses of the Earth, the moon, and/or the solar system.
At block 5448, optionally, the device detects a third touch contact at a location corresponding to the first current-time indicator, and in response to detecting the third touch contact, ceases to display the non-current-time indicator and updates the first user interface object to display information corresponding to the current time. The touch contact detected may be a single-touch input, a multi-touch input, a single-tap input, and/or a multi-tap input detected by touch- and/or pressure-sensitive elements in any touch- and/or pressure-sensitive surface, including a touch-screen. In some embodiments, when a user taps on the current-time indicator, the device may responsively exit time-scrubbing mode. Upon exiting time-scrubbing mode, in some embodiments, the device may cease to display the scrubbing time. Upon exiting time-scrubbing mode, in some embodiments, display of the current time may return to an original visual appearance (e.g., position, size, color, style, etc.) that was displayed before time-scrubbing mode was activated. Upon exiting time-scrubbing mode, in some embodiments, complications or other user interface object that were updated, in accordance with any of the above methods, to correspond to a scrubbing time, may be again updated to correspond to the current time. In some embodiments, this may involve returning to their original appearance from before time-scrubbing mode was activated, while in some embodiments it may involve displaying new and/or different information (such as information corresponding to a new current time that is different from when time-scrubbing mode was activated, or information that is newly available or has been updated since time-scrubbing mode was activated). The displayed complications or user interface objects may be updated, upon deactivating time-scrubbing mode, in accordance with any of the animations discussed above with reference to digital clock face 5317 in
In some embodiments, other user inputs may be operable to cause the device to exit a time-scrubbing mode. In some embodiments, alternate user inputs that may cause a device to exit a time-scrubbing mode may include a depression of a rotatable and depressible input mechanism, such as user inputs 5324b and 5334b in
At block 5450, optionally, the device detects a second rotation of the rotatable input mechanism, and, in response to detecting the second rotation of the rotatable input mechanism, the device updates the non-current-time indicator to indicate a third non-current time, determined in accordance with the second rotation, and updates the first user interface object to display information corresponding to the third non-current time, wherein the information corresponding to the third non-current time pertains to the first information source and is information other than a day, a time, or a date of the first non-current time; and displays one of the first current-time indicator and the second current-time indicator. In some embodiments, after detecting a first rotation and setting a first scrubbing time, as described above, a device may then detect another rotation of the same rotational input mechanism, and may set another scrubbing time in accordance with the second rotation. The device may set a second scrubbing time in accordance with any of the methods described above, and may update the displayed user interface object and complications to correspond to the second scrubbing time in accordance with any of the methods described above. In some embodiments, a user may scrub forward or backward in time, pause, and then scrub forward or backward in time again, with or without leaving time-scrubbing mode. In some embodiments, displayed complications may be dynamically updated throughout the process to always reflect the displayed scrubbing time as the user scrubs, pauses, and then scrubs again. In some embodiments, this process may be wholly or partially repeated or iterated any number of times.
In
Blocks 5452 and 5454 follow, optionally, from blocks 5414-5440.
At block 5452, optionally, the device displays a second user interface object configured to display second information corresponding to the current time, wherein the second information corresponding to the current time pertains to a second information source and is information other than a day, time, or date of the current time; and, in response to detecting the first rotation of the rotatable input mechanism: updates the second user interface object to display second information corresponding to the first non-current time, wherein the second information corresponding to the first non-current time pertains to the second information source and is information other than a day, time, or date of the first non-current time.
At block 5454, optionally, the first and second information sources are separate applications.
In some embodiments, a device may display more than one complication or other user interface object, wherein the complications or other user interface objects pertain to separate subject matters, separate information sources, or separate applications of the device. For example, in some embodiments, an interface of a device such as a watch face interface or a home screen interface may display two distinct complications, each complication being associated with a distinct application of the device and each complication drawing information from the respective associated application and displaying the information on the interface. In the depicted example of
In some embodiments, when a user scrubs time forward or backward in any of the manners described above, not just one but both (and, in some embodiments, more than two) of the displayed complications or other user interface objects are simultaneously updated in accordance with the time scrubbing. A second displayed complication or user interface object (in addition to a third, fourth, etc.) may be updated in accordance with scrubbing by any of the methods described above. In some embodiments, all of the complications displayed on an interface may be simultaneously updated in accordance with the displayed non-current time as a user scrubs through time. This may be advantageous because, in some embodiments, a user may be able to observe past information and/or future information of more than one information source or of more than one application without having to separately open each application; this may allow a user to observe and recognize contextual relationships between temporally-related data provided by different applications or different information sources by being able to see information from all applications at once, the information displayed all corresponding to the same past time or to the same future time.

The operations described above with reference to
The foregoing description, for purpose of explanation, has been described with reference to specific embodiments. However, the illustrative discussions above are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations are possible in view of the above teachings. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the techniques and their practical applications. Others skilled in the art are thereby enabled to best utilize the techniques and various embodiments with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated.
Although the disclosure and examples have been fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is to be noted that various changes and modifications will become apparent to those skilled in the art. Such changes and modifications are to be understood as being included within the scope of the disclosure and examples as defined by the claims.
Device 5600 displays user interface screen 5602 which includes a plurality of affordances representing various event data from two or more distinct applications (e.g., email, calendar, notification). Event data include any data that are associated with a time or a time period, such as, non-exclusively, meeting data from a calendar application, messaging data from a messaging application, email data from an email application, notification data for certain events from a notification application. Affordances representing event data from the different applications are arranged to serve as an immediate notification to the user of times and schedules associated with the event data.
In some embodiments, as shown in
In
Similarly, each row includes an affordance (e.g., number 5607, or other graphics or texts) that represents a time or a time period. The first row is displayed between affordance 5607 representing 9:00 am and affordance representing 10 am, thus representing a one-hour time block from 9 am to 10 am. Subsequent rows are displayed between affordances representing the later hours to represent different time blocks at an interval of a one-hour time period (e.g., second row representing a one-hour time block from 10 am to 11 am, third row representing from 11 am to 12 pm, etc.). There may be additional rows below and above the displayed portion of the timeline 5606 representing times beyond the displayed hours (such as, for example, 8 am, 7 am, 6 am, etc., above the displayed portion, and 4 pm, 5 pm, 6 pm, 7 pm etc., below the displayed portion).
In
Similarly, in the illustrated example, affordance 5610 represents email data obtained from an email application which is associated with time 10:30 am (e.g., a time at which the email was received). Thus, affordance 5610 is displayed at a second column indicating the email application (with affordance 5604) and at a row indicating 10:30 am. Although the email data is associated with a specific time point, rather than a time block, the affordance representing the email data may be displayed, as shown in the illustrated example, to occupy a time block (e.g., 30 minutes, 15 minutes) starting from the specific time point associated with the email data. Affordances for additional email data from the email application are arranged in the second column and at appropriate rows representing the respective times associated with those additional email data. For example, the illustrated user interface screen 5602 notifies the user that “Email 2” from the email application was received at 1:00 pm.
Further, affordance 5611 represents notification data for a particular event (e.g., a software update, a backup schedule, etc.) obtained from a notification application where the event is scheduled to run at 10:30 am. The event represented by the notification data may be, non-exclusively, a software update schedule, a backup schedule, or any other device schedules that may warrant a forewarning. In the illustrated example, affordance 5611 representing the notification data is displayed at a third column indicating the notification application (with affordance 5605) and at a row indicating a 30-minute time block from 10:30 am. The notification data may be associated with a specific time point (e.g., a time at which the associated event is scheduled to start) or a time block (e.g., if the device has information regarding an estimated duration for which the associated event is scheduled to run, etc.). Affordances for additional notification data from the notification application are arranged in the third column and at appropriate rows representing the respective times associated with the additional notification data. For example, the illustrated user interface screen 5602 notifies the user that “Notification 2” (e.g., for another event such as a software update, a backup, etc.) from the notification application is scheduled at 12:00 pm.
Further, in some embodiments, as shown in

Optionally, a user is allowed to modify settings associated with the user interface (e.g., timeline 5606) to remove, add or change applications from which device 5600 obtains the event data and to ultimate organize and display on the user interface (e.g., timeline). For example, a user may change the settings so that device 5600 obtains event data only from the default email application and default calendar application to simplify the timeline, etc. Further, a user may modify the settings to rearrange the order of the applications represented by the columns of the timeline. For example, a user may rearrange the order of the applications so that the first column (the leftmost column in
Further, device 5600 may obtain event data from various applications not only running on device 5600 but also running on different devices that are connected to device 5600 via a communication medium (e.g., Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cellular data network, mobile satellite network, wireless sensor network, wired or wireless communication medium). For example, a wearable device 5600 is connected to a second device (e.g., a mobile phone, a tablet, a computer) via a wireless medium and obtains event data from applications on the second device. In some embodiments, device 5600 may download event data from a cloud storage connected to a plurality of different devices.
Moreover, a user is further allowed to modify the settings associated with the user interface (e.g., timeline 5606) to selectively obtain the event data from the applications (e.g., device 5600 is set to obtain only the event data that meet certain criteria from a certain application). For example, a user adjusts the setting to obtain only the event data from the notification application that meet priority criteria, which are met, for example, when the associated events (e.g., software update, backup, etc.) are scheduled to start within 24 hours from the current time, require a turn-off of device 5600, require Internet connection, and/or otherwise require user actions, etc. In another example, the device obtains only the event data from the calendar application that meet priority criteria which are met, for example, when the associated meetings are scheduled to start within 24 hours from the current time, and/or require the user attendance, etc. Optionally, priority criteria are different for different applications.
Referring back to
Optionally, as shown in the illustrated examples, an input corresponding to a request to scroll the user interface is a finger swipe gesture on a touch sensitive display of device 5600. A finger swipe gesture in a first direction (e.g., left, right, up and down) corresponds to a request to scroll the user interface in that first direction.
In some embodiments, horizontal scrolling allows a user to navigate through columns of different applications (e.g., swiping through columns of applications while being fixed on one or more displayed times), while vertical scrolling allows a user to navigate through rows of different times (e.g., swiping through rows of times while being fixed on displayed one or more applications). Optionally, a concurrent vertical and horizontal scrolling (e.g., a two-dimensional scrolling, a diagonal scrolling) allows a user to navigate through columns and rows at the same time.
For example, as shown in

In some embodiments, device 5600 detects an input corresponding to a request to scroll the user interface in the opposite direction (e.g., downward finger swipe gesture 5620), as shown in
In some embodiments, as shown in the illustrated examples, an input corresponding to a request to scroll the user interface is a finger swipe gesture (e.g., a finger swipe in a first direction corresponds to a request to scroll the user interface in the first direction). Alternatively or additionally, an input corresponding to a request to scroll the user interface is rotation of rotatable input mechanism 5601 provided on a side of device 5600.
In some embodiments, rotatable input mechanism 5601 can be pulled out to have different positions (e.g., a first position if pulled out by a first amount, a second position if pulled out by a second amount, etc.). If a user rotates rotatable input mechanism 5601 while rotatable input mechanism 5601 is in a first position, the rotation causes the user interface (e.g., timeline 5606) to scroll in a vertical direction (e.g., upward rotation causes upward scrolling, and downward rotation causes downward scrolling). If a user rotates input mechanism 5601 while rotatable input mechanism 5601 is in a second position, the rotation causes the user interface (e.g., timeline 5606) to scroll in a horizontal direction (e.g., upward rotation causes rightward scrolling, and downward rotation causes leftward scrolling).
Further, in some embodiments, a user may provide an input corresponding to a request to zoom in or out the user interface (e.g., timeline 5606), as shown in
In some embodiments, the different views of the user interface (e.g., timeline) have rows representing time blocks of a different interval. For example, a gap of two adjacent rows in a first level view of the timeline (e.g., 5602 in

In some embodiments, an input corresponding to a request to display more detailed information about a respective event is a finger tap gesture, as shown in the illustrated examples. Optionally, an input corresponding to a request to display more detailed information about a respective event is a push gesture on a depressible crown 5601 of device 5600. For example, a user may move a current focus (e.g., an affordance with a current focus is highlighted) among the displayed affordances, and as the crown 5601 is depressed, the affordance with a current focus is selected.
Moreover, device 5600 allows a user to provide an input corresponding to a request to replace the user interface (e.g., timeline 5606) with an application view, as shown in
In response to detecting the input corresponding to a request to replace the timeline user interface with an application user interface (e.g., tap and hold gesture 5631 in
Optionally, an input corresponding to a request to replace the user interface (e.g., timeline) with an associated application user interface is a sustained push gesture on a depressible button of crown 5601 for more than a predetermined time period.

In accordance with some embodiments,
In some embodiments, processing unit 5810 includes a display enabling unit 5816, a determining unit 5818, a scroll enabling unit 5820, a zoom enabling unit 5822, a callout view enabling unit 5824, and/or an application view enabling unit 5826. For example, the display enabling unit 5816 is configured to cause a display of a user interface (or portions of a user interface) in conjunction with the display unit 5802. For example, the display enabling unit 5816 may be used for displaying a portion of a user interface (e.g., timeline 5606) and updating a displayed portion in accordance with various inputs from a user. The determining unit 5818 may be used for determining respective times associated with the obtained event data from various applications using the obtaining unit 5814, as well as relative order of the times associated with such event data.
The scroll enabling unit 5820 may be used for scrolling the user interface (e.g., timeline 5606) in accordance with various scroll inputs from a user (e.g., horizontal finger swipe gesture 5613 and 5617 for horizontal scroll inputs, and vertical finger swipe gestures 5619 and 5620) for vertical scroll inputs). The scroll enabling unit 5820 enables the user to scroll through columns of applications in the timeline (e.g., 5606) based on the horizontal scroll inputs. The scroll enabling unit 5820 enables the user to scroll through rows of times in the timeline (e.g., 5606) based on the vertical scroll inputs. The zoom enabling unit 5822 may be used for zooming in or out the user interface (e.g., timeline 5606) in accordance with various inputs to zoom in or out the user interface (e.g., pinch-in gesture with two touch points 5621-a and 5621-b in
The callout view enabling unit 5824 may be used for displaying a callout view based on an input corresponding to a request to displayed a more detailed view of a selected event (e.g., tap gesture 5627 in
For example, the processing unit 5810 is configured to obtain first event data from a first application (e.g., with obtaining unit 5812) and obtain second event data from a second application distinct from the first application (e.g., with obtaining unit 5812). The processing unit 5810 is configured to determine (e.g., with determining unit 5818) a first time value associated with the first event data and a second time value associated with the second event data and a relative order of the first time value and the second time value. The processing unit 5810 is configured to display (e.g., with display enabling unit 5816), on the display (e.g., display unit 5802), a user interface including: a representation of the first event data with a representation of the first time value; and a representation of the second event data with a representation of the second time value. The representation of the first event data and the representation of the second event data are displayed with respect to each other in accordance with the relative order of the first time value and the second time value and the respective values of the first time value and the second time value.
The processing unit 5810 is configured to detect (e.g., with detecting unit 5812) an input corresponding to a request to scroll the user interface in a first direction. In response to detecting the input corresponding to a request to scroll the user interface in a first direction, the processing unit 5810 is configured to scroll (e.g., with scroll enabling unit 5820) the user interface in the first direction in accordance with the input to display at least a representation of a third time value different from the first time value and the second time value. The scroll enabling unit 5820, for example, enables scrolling such that scrolling the user interface in the first direction in accordance with the input to display at least a representation of a third time value different from the first time value and the second time value comprises replacing display of a portion of the user interface with display of a different portion of the user interface.
The processing unit 5810 is configured to detect (e.g., with detecting unit 5812) a second input corresponding to a request to scroll the user interface in a second direction. In response to detecting the second input corresponding to a request to scroll the user interface in a second direction, the processing unit 5810 is configured to scroll (e.g., with scroll unit 5820) the user interface in the second direction in accordance with the second input to display at least a representation of a third application different from the first application and the second application. The scroll enabling unit 5820 enables scrolling such that scrolling the user interface in the second direction in accordance with the second input to display at least a representation of a third application different from the first application and the second application comprises replacing display of a portion of the user interface with display of a different portion of the user interface.
In some embodiments, the user interface comprises a plurality of views, and while displaying a first level view out of the plurality of views of the user interface, the first level view with representations of times in an interval of a first time period, the processing unit 5810 is configured to detect (e.g., with detecting unit 5812) a third input corresponding to a request to display a second level view distinct from the first level view out of the plurality of views of the user interface. In response to detecting a third input corresponding to a request to display a second level view distinct from the first level view out of the plurality of views of the user interface, the processing unit 5810 is configured to replace the display of the first level view with display of the second level view (e.g., with zoom enabling unit 5822), wherein the second level view includes representations of times in an interval of a second time period that is distinct from the first time period.
In some embodiments, while displaying the user interface with the representation of the first event data in association with the representation of the first time value and the representation of the second event data in association with the representation of the second time value, the processing unit 5810 is configured to detect (e.g., with detecting unit 5812) a fourth input corresponding to a request to select the representation of the first event data. In response to detecting the fourth input corresponding to a request to select the representation of the first event data, the processing unit 5810 is configured to display a callout view proximate to the representation of the first event data (e.g., with callout view enabling unit 5824), the callout view including additional information about the first event data beyond the associated first time value and the first application, wherein the display of the callout view overlays at least a portion of the representation of the first event data.
In some embodiments, while displaying the user interface with the representation of the first event data in association with the representation of the first time value and the representation of the second event data in association with the representation of the second time value, the processing unit 5810 is configured to detect (e.g., with detecting unit 5812) a fifth input on the representation of the first event data. In response to detecting the fifth input on the representation of the first event data, the processing unit 5810 is configured to cease to display the user interface and display a user interface of the first application in relation to the first event data (e.g., with application view enabling unit 5826).
The functional blocks of the device 5800 are, optionally, implemented by hardware, software, or a combination of hardware and software to carry out the principles of the various described examples. It is understood by persons of skill in the art that the functional blocks described in
The operations described above with reference to
Users rely on personal electronic devices to keep time throughout the day and to quickly reference time-dependent information, such as information about messages, appointments, the weather, news, and other data. It is becoming increasingly desirable to present the user with interactive user interfaces that promote user interaction with a personal electronic device. Indicating the time alongside a typographic representation of time-dependent information may enhance a user's interaction with the device. Furthermore, allowing a user to set a privacy or density setting that controls the level of detail with which information is displayed on a device may enhance privacy and encourage a user to more freely and comfortably interact with the device. Increasing the level of simplicity, versatility, customizability, and privacy of the interface screen may enhance and prolong user interactions with the device.
Accordingly, provided herein are context-specific user interfaces that include a time-indicator as well as a plurality of slots (e.g., platters, modules) for displaying time-dependent information such as complications or notifications. A user may wish for such an interface to be customizable such that the content, location, privacy level, and appearance of each of the complications can be modified by the user. A user may wish for all information to be displayed in typographic form, without the use (or with minimal use) of non-standard symbols, logos, or glyphs, so that the user does not have to learn the meaning of custom symbols. A user may wish for a privacy or density setting of an interface to be modifiable so that it may be used in different settings when the user desires additional information to be presented or less information to be presented.
Device 5900 may display interface screen 5950 on display 5902. Interface screen 5950 may be referred to as a typographic modular face, because it may display typographic information (as opposed to symbols, logos, graphics, or glyphs) on a customizable modular face (e.g., an interface having a plurality of modules, platters, or slots). Interface screen 5950 comprises clock 5908, which may indicate the current time (or, in some embodiments, a non-current time). Interface screen 5950 further comprises complications 5910a, 5912a, 5914a, and 5916a, which are displayed in a first platter, a second platter, a third platter, and a fourth platter, respectively. Each of the platters may correspond to a predefined location on interface screen 5950 on display 5902, with each platter being configured to display information about a respective subject matter.
In the embodiment shown in
In the embodiment shown, the complications 5910a-5916a are displayed in a first density state that displays less information than a second density state. The first density state may correspond to a first privacy state, which may be used to enhance privacy such that onlookers can see only a minimal amount of information on the display of the device, while the user himself may be aware of the context that gives meaning to the minimal information displayed in the first density state. For example, an onlooker might not know what “11:30” means in complication 5912b, but the user may know, simply from being reminded of the time, that 11:30 is the time of an upcoming meeting.
Edit interface screen 5960, for example, is identical to interface screen 5950 except for paging affordances 5919 displayed at the top of edit interface screen 5960. Paging affordances 5919 indicate that edit interface screen 5960 is an edit interface screen. That is, dots 5919 may signal to the user that the device is in a state configured to edit the device face, rather than in a state configured merely to display the face itself. Paging affordances 5919 further indicate that the edit interface comprises two pages or screens (as indicated by the number of paging affordances), and that interface screen 5960 is the leftmost of two screens (as indicated by the leftmost dot being solid/filled and the rightmost dot being hollow). In the example shown, leftmost edit interface screen 5960 is a screen for modifying color settings of the typographic modular interface. The manner in which color settings may be modified is discussed in further detail below.
In response to detecting the rotation of the rotatable input mechanism 5904, device 5900 has changed the privacy/density setting from a first density state to a second density state, and the complications 5910-5916 are displayed in a second density state corresponding to additional information and a reduction in privacy.
In some embodiments, a device may be capable of displaying complications, other user interface objects, or other information in multiple density settings. In some embodiments, a second density setting may correspond to displaying additional information in the same platter as compared to the first density setting, making the presentation of information by complications in the second density setting denser. In some embodiments, the second density state may correspond to a second privacy state, and may be used to display more information when a user would rather have access to more information than hide the information for the sake of privacy. The additional information may correspond to the same subject matter as the information that is displayed in the first density state; in some embodiments, it may represent a different portion (or additional portions) of the same underlying data from which the first information was derived. The additional information may be predetermined to be more sensitive than the information that is displayed in the first density state. Because the additional information displayed in the second density state may be more sensitive information corresponding to more sensitive data, the additional information may be displayed at a smaller font size than the first information, to enhance security by making it more difficult for onlookers to read the text of the additional information.
In the example shown, in the second density setting, date complication 5910b additionally displays a month and year (April 2015). Calendar complication 5912b additionally displays a name of the next appointment (“Design Meeting”). Weather complication 5914b additionally displays the location for which the weather is being displayed (Cupertino, California.) and additional information about the weather (“Partly Cloudy”). World clock complication 5916b additionally displays the city for which the world clock time is displayed (London, England) and a difference between the time in that city and the time displayed on clock 5908 (“+8 hours”).
In some embodiments, a user may rotate a rotatable input mechanism while in the edit state (regardless of page) in either direction in order to cycle through or scroll through two or more density/privacy states/settings. In some embodiments, the density/privacy settings of all displayed complications are updated together, while in other embodiments the density/privacy setting of each complication may be individually modifiable. In some embodiments, there may more than two density states.
For example, in some embodiments there may be three density/privacy states/settings, such that a further rotation of rotatable input mechanism 5904 in the direction of input 5920 may cause additional supplemental information to be displayed in one or more of the platters. The additional supplemental information displayed in the third density/privacy state may correspond, for each platter, to the same underlying subject matter or information source as the information displayed in the first two density states. In some embodiments, the information corresponding to the third density state may be predetermined to be of a higher sensitivity than the information displayed in the first two states, thereby corresponding to an even higher privacy setting. In some embodiments, the additional supplemental information displayed in the third density state may be displayed in an even smaller font size than the information corresponding to the second density state, thereby being even more difficult for onlookers to read.
In
For example, there may be a predefined selection of color settings each corresponding to a color, series of colors, pattern of colors, or animation by which a color setting changes in time. In some embodiments, one or more of the color settings is a gradient color setting or a pattern color setting that renders the complication text (in the first or second density state) as a continuous color gradient or pattern across the different letters and numbers in the complication. The predefined color settings may be arranged into an ordered progression. When the user selects a complication for editing and rotates the rotatable input mechanism, the setting may be modified by cycling or scrolling through the ordered progression to a next or previous color setting in accordance with a direction of the rotation of the input. In some embodiments, the ordered progression may loop around from the last setting to the first.
In some embodiments, a user may edit a color setting of more than one of the complications/platters, or of all of the complications/platters, at the same time. For example, color themes may be predetermined and saved on the device (or available to the device by network communication), such that a user may select a single theme that assigns a color setting to more than one or all of the complications/platters. In some embodiments, themes may assign a predetermined color setting to a predetermined platter. In some embodiments, themes may assign a predetermined color setting to a predetermined type of complication, regardless of the platter in which it appears. In some embodiments, a theme may be a gradient theme or a pattern theme that renders more than one of the complications/platters, or all of the complications/platters, as a continuous gradient or a continuous pattern across the letters and numbers in the multiple complications/platters.
In the example shown in
For example, there may be a predefined selection of complications that are available to be displayed in one or more of the platters. In some embodiments, the one or more complications are arranged into an ordered progression. When the user selects a complication for editing and rotates the rotatable input mechanism, the complication may be replaced by a next or previous complication in the ordered progression of complications by cycling or scrolling through the ordered progression to a next or previous complication in accordance with a direction of the rotation of the input. In some embodiments, the ordered progression may loop around from the last complication to the first.
In some embodiments, a complication that is selected to be displayed in a platter may retain the color setting of the complication that was previously displayed in the platter. In some embodiments, such as those in which certain colors are associated with certain types of complications, a newly selected complication may be displayed in a different color than the complication that was previously displayed in the platter.
The complications available to be displayed may include one or more complications relating to one or more of the following: date, calendar, weather, world clock, sunrise/sunset, time, stocks, alarm, stopwatch, activity, exercise, standing, the moon, music, Nike, Tesla charge, charge of device (e.g., device 5900), other device charge, city manager, MLB, other sports, Twitter, other social media, and messages. The foregoing list of complications is merely exemplary, not exhaustive. In some embodiments, an option available for one or more of the platters may further be to display no complications in the platter. The “blank” option may be included as an option in the ordered progression of complications and may be accessible in the edit interface in the same manner as complications are accessible.
In some embodiments, a user may select a complication for a given platter on a slot-by-slot basis, by tapping platters/complications to select the platter, and then using the rotatable input mechanism to cycle through available complications and assign them to the platter. In some embodiments, a user may assign a complication to more than one platter at a time, or to all of the platters at one time, for example by selecting a predetermined or curated “complication set.” The device may have complication sets saved on the device, or they may be accessible by the device via a network connection, and the user may select a set that assigns more than one complication to more than one respective platter. For example, a user may select a “stocks” complication set, and the device may assign complications pertaining to the NASDAQ, the Dow Jones, and the S&P 500 to respective platters.
In some embodiments, users may be able to modify settings pertaining to other aspects of the typographic modular face, including but not limited to: the number of modules/slots, the position of the modules, the alignment and justification of text within the modules, the font of the text, and the size of the font. In some embodiments, these and other setting may be modified in similar manners as described above by accessing additional edit interface screens that may be represented by additional paging affordances.
As described below, method 6000 provides an intuitive way to providing and supplementing information. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for accessing information pertaining to various density settings, various privacy levels, and various subject matters, thereby creating a more efficient human machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to more quickly and more efficiently access, configure, and navigate a user interface for providing and supplementing information, including information corresponding to various privacy levels, conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.

In some embodiments, a user interface may have one or more predefined portions in which information may be displayed. In some embodiments, the portions may be predefined by the device, while in some embodiments the portions may be defined in accordance with user input. In some embodiments, a user interface may have multiple slots, platters, or modules that may each be configured to display information relating to a respective subject matter. In the displayed example of
At block 6010, optionally, the first portion of the data corresponds to a first privacy level. In some embodiments, different portions of the received data may correspond to different privacy levels or different privacy settings. For example, one portion of the data may be determined to be less private and less sensitive, while another portion of the data may be determined to be more private and more sensitive, while yet another portion of the data may be determined to be most private and most sensitive. In some embodiments, portions of the received data may be defined or determined in accordance with a privacy or sensitivity level of the data. Dividing data into portions according to privacy levels may allow users to choose a privacy setting, thereby allowing users to choose the privacy/sensitivity level of the data that they wish for a device to display. This may be useful in allowing users to customize use of a device for different situations and settings, such as allowing display of more sensitive information when a user is home, and suppressing display of more sensitive information when a user is in public and the display of his device may be viewed by others.
In the example depicted in
At block 6012, optionally, the first information is displayed in a first font size. In some embodiments, the manner in which information corresponding to one portion of received data is displayed may be distinguished from the manner in which information corresponding to another portion of the received data is displayed. In some embodiments, the manner of display may be distinguished by different display “densities,” which may correspond to different density settings of a device. In some embodiments, density settings may correspond to displaying a different amount of information and/or a different number of user interface objects in the same area of a user interface, thereby defining more and less dense user interfaces. In some embodiments, one portion of data displayed in a first density state may be displayed in a first manner, while another portion of information displayed in a second density state may be displayed in a second manner. In some embodiments, one portion of information displayed in a first density state may be displayed in a first size, while another portion of information displayed in a second density state may be displayed in a second size. In some embodiments, information corresponding to more sensitive data may be displayed in a smaller size, making it more difficult for onlookers to observe the information, while information corresponding to less sensitive information may be displayed in a larger size, making it easier for a user to observe the information. Font size chosen for display, in some embodiments, may thus correspond inversely to the sensitivity of data.
In some embodiments, information corresponding to different portions of data may be distinguished by different font size settings, with each font size setting corresponding to one or more than one font size. For example, a larger font size setting may include font sizes of size 12 and 14, while a smaller font size setting may include font sizes of size 10 and 12.
In the depicted example of
At block 6014, optionally, the first information comprises a single line of text. As described above, information presented in accordance with different density settings may be visually distinguished. Furthermore, information presented as part of a higher-density setting may be configured to present a greater amount of information per display area on a display. In some embodiments, in order to present more information on the same area of a display (and the same area of a user interface), in addition to smaller font sizes being used, information may be presented with different numbers of lines of text. In some embodiments, when different font sizes are used for information corresponding to different density settings, using different numbers of lines of text may be facilitated by the different font sizes, such that more lines of text in a smaller font size may fit in the same vertical space as fewer lines of text in a larger font size.
In some embodiments, information corresponding to a lower privacy setting and a less dense density state may be displayed in a larger font size and may comprise a single line of text. In some embodiments, information corresponding to a higher privacy setting and a denser density state may be displayed in a smaller font size and may comprise more than one line of text (or a greater number of lines of text than the information corresponding to a less dense density setting).
In the depicted example of
At block 6016, optionally, the first information does not include icons, images, glyphs, or logos. In some embodiments, information relating to received data may be presented without the use, or with minimal use, of icons, images, glyphs, logos, or non-standard symbols. In some embodiments, information may be presented primarily or exclusively by way of text and numerals. In some embodiments, presenting information primarily or exclusively by text and numerals may include the limited use of standard typographic symbols, such as punctuation. In some embodiments, standard symbols may include widely used typographical symbols that may not be considered punctuation, such as the degree symbol “°” used in complication 5914a in
In the depicted example of
At block 6018, optionally, the device receives data relating to a second subject matter. The second subject matter may be any subject matter, including any subject matter of the types described above with reference to block 6004. In some embodiments, the second subject matter is different from the first subject matter, and the data received by the device relating to the second subject matter may be associated with a different program or application than the information relating to the first subject matter.
At block 6020, optionally, the device displays, in a second predetermined portion of the user interface, third information relating to a first portion of the data relating to the second subject matter.
In some embodiments, the second data received by the device may be divided into portions in any of the manners described above with reference to block 6006. In some embodiments, a first portion of the data relating to the second subject matter may correspond to a same privacy setting and/or a same density setting as the first portion of the data relating to the first subject matter. For example, in some embodiments, for each application or subject matter or data source for which data is received, the device may assign a portion of the data to predetermined privacy settings, such that portions of data relating to different subject matters may have corresponding privacy levels or sensitivity levels. In some embodiments, when a device is in a first privacy state and/or a first density state, information corresponding to portions of data associated with the same privacy level or sensitivity level may simultaneously be displayed.
In some embodiments, a user interface may be configured such that various platters (e.g., predefined areas of the user interface) may display information relating to respective subject matters. In some embodiments, predetermined portions of each platter may be configured to display information associated with a predetermined privacy or sensitivity level. For example, in some embodiments, platters may be portions of a user interface that are arranged as rows on the user interface. In the example depicted in
In the depicted example of
At block 6022, optionally, device 5900 displays a first editing interface for editing first display settings corresponding to the first information and third displayed information, wherein the third information corresponds to a different subject matter than the first subject matter. In some embodiments, the third information is information displayed as part of a complication in a different platter from the first information displayed as part of a complication in a first platter. In some embodiments, the third information may be the same as the second information discussed above with reference to
It should be noted that the editing interfaces and methods described below may be freely combined with and modified by any of the editing interfaces discussed above in this application in the “Editing Context-Specific User Interfaces” section of this disclosure, or elsewhere.
In some embodiments, an editing interface may take the form of a clock face, or of a typographic modular interface, such that a user may edit display settings of a clock face or typographic modular face while being provided with a preview of what the edited interface will look like. In some embodiments, an editing interface may be a different interface from an interface that displays information as discussed above with reference to blocks 6007-6020. In some embodiments, an editing interface may be any interface allowing a user to modify one or more display settings of an interface, including display settings of the editing interface or display settings of any of the interfaces discussed above with reference to blocks 6007-6020. In some embodiments, an editing interface may include more than one user interface screen.
In some embodiments, an editing interface may be caused to be displayed when a device detects a touch contact whose characteristic intensity is above an intensity threshold.
In the depicted example, device 5900 detects touch contact 5918 in

Block 6024 optionally follows from block 6022. At block 6024, optionally, blocks 6026-6052 (some of which are optional, and some of which are depicted in
At block 6026, the device detects a first rotation of the rotatable input mechanism. In some embodiments, a first rotation of the rotatable input mechanism may comprise one or more rotations in one or more directions, having one or more speeds, having one or more durations, and having one or more spacings relative to one another. In some embodiments, a first rotation of the rotatable input mechanism may comprise a single rotation of a rotatable input mechanism in a predefined rotational direction. In the example depicted in
At block 6028, in response to detecting the first rotation of the rotatable input mechanism, the device supplements the first information with second information relating to a second portion of the received data.
In some embodiments, a first rotation of the rotatable input mechanism may be predetermined to be registered by the device as a command to change a density/privacy setting of the device. In some embodiments, when the device is in an edit state or an edit interface, and the device detects a rotation of the rotatable input mechanism, the device may edit a density/privacy state by cycling through two or more available privacy/density settings; for example, a device may change from a first privacy/density setting to a second, then a second to a third, then a third back to a first, each change coming in accordance with the device detecting rotation of the rotatable input mechanism of greater than a predefined threshold rotation angle and/or speed. In this way, a user may twist a rotatable input mechanism to cycle through available density settings. Rotating a rotatable input mechanism in substantially opposite directions may cause cycling through available density/privacy states in an opposite direction, such as from a first to a third, a third to a second, and then a second to a first.
In some embodiments, when a device changes from a first, lower density state to a second, higher density state (e.g., less dense to denser), displayed information such as user interface objects or complications may be supplemented with additional information. In some embodiments, supplemental information displayed by a previously displayed complication may include information relating to a portion of the underlying data that has been determined to be of a higher sensitivity than the portion of the data relating to the previously displayed information. Thus, in some embodiments, when a user changes a privacy/density setting of a device, displayed embodiments may display information relating to portions of underlying data having a higher sensitivity. In some embodiments, because the information relating to portions of underlying data having a higher sensitivity may be taken from the same underlying data, the second displayed information may thus concern the same subject matter as the first displayed information.
In the depicted example of
At block 6030, optionally, supplementing the first information with second information comprises displaying the second information in the first predetermined portion of the user interface. As described above with reference to block 6020, a user interface may be configured such that various platters (e.g., predefined areas of the user interface) may display information relating to respective subject matters. In some embodiments, predetermined portions of each platter may be configured to display information associated with a predetermined privacy or sensitivity level. For example, in some embodiments, less sensitive information may be displayed on the left side of a platter, while more sensitive information may be displayed on the right side of a platter. (This arrangement may be advantageous because onlookers may naturally start reading from the left side, and may only have time to observe less sensitive information if they are only observing the device for a short time.) In some embodiments, different pieces of information in complications may be divided into separate sections in the complication (such as the way in which the text “11:30” and the text “Design Meeting” are separated in complication 5912b in
In the displayed example of
At block 6032, optionally, supplementing the first information with second information comprises maintaining display of the first information at a position of the display at which it was displayed before detection of the rotatable input mechanism. In some embodiments, rather than replacing, displacing, or otherwise disturbing information already displayed in a first privacy/density setting, information displayed in a second privacy/density setting may be displayed in addition to information that was already displayed when a device was in a first privacy/density setting. In some embodiments, information that was already displayed when a device was in a first privacy/density setting may be maintained in the same position on a display and/or in the same position on a user interface when the device is set to a second privacy/density setting. In the depicted example of interface 5970 in
At block 6034, optionally, the second portion of the data corresponds to a second privacy level. As described above with reference to block 6010, different portions of the received data may correspond to different privacy levels or different privacy settings. As the first information displayed, as explained above with reference to block 6010, may correspond to a first privacy level, the second information may correspond to a second privacy level. In some embodiments, the second privacy level may correspond to the display of more sensitive information that the first privacy level, while in some embodiments the second privacy level may correspond to the display of less sensitive information that the first privacy level.
In the example depicted in
At block 6036, optionally, the second information is displayed in a second font size smaller than the first font size. As described above with reference to block 6012, in some embodiments, information corresponding to different privacy or sensitivity levels, or information corresponding to different density states, may be displayed in different font sizes or different font size settings. In some embodiments, less sensitive information corresponding to a lower density setting may be displayed in a larger font size setting, while more sensitive information corresponding to a higher density setting may be displayed in a smaller font size setting. In the depicted example of
At block 6038, optionally, the second information comprises two or more lines of text. As explained above with reference to block 6014, in some embodiments, information corresponding to different privacy or sensitivity levels, or information corresponding to different density states, may be displayed in differing numbers of lines of text, which may in some embodiments be facilitated by their being displayed in differing font size settings. In some embodiments, less sensitive information corresponding to a lower density setting may be displayed by a single line of text, while more sensitive information corresponding to a higher density setting may be displayed by more than one line of text (or by more lines of text than are used for the less sensitive information). In the depicted example of
At block 6040, optionally, the second information does not include icons, images, glyphs, or logos. As described above with reference to block 6016, displayed information may be presented primarily or exclusively in the form of letters, numerals, and standard typographical symbols. In the depicted example of
In
At block 6042, optionally, the device detects a first touch input at a location corresponding to the first information. The touch input detected may be a single-touch input, a multi touch input, a single-tap input, and/or a multi-tap input detected by touch- and/or pressure sensitive elements in any touch- and/or pressure-sensitive surface, including a touchscreen. In some embodiments, a device may detect a touch contact at a location that corresponds to the first information. In some embodiments, the touch input may be detected on a touchscreen, such as display 5902. In some embodiments, the touch input may be detected at a location at which the first information is displayed. In some embodiments, the touch input may be detected at a location of a platter in which the first information is displayed, such that the touch contact may be detected at a location corresponding to information associated with the first information, such as second or third information included in the same complication in the same platter as the first information.
In the depicted example of
At block 6044, optionally, in response to detecting the first touch input at the location corresponding to the first information, the device highlights the first information. In some embodiments, a touch input detected at a location corresponding to first information, detected while a device is in an editing state, may be predetermined to cause the device to select the first information for editing of one or more display settings. In some embodiments, when a user taps on a displayed complication when a device is in an editing state, the complication may be selected for editing of one or more display settings, such as a color setting. In some embodiments, once selected, a user may use one or more inputs to modify a color setting of the selected complication and/or the selected displayed information.
In some embodiments, highlighting first information may include displaying the first information in accordance with any distinct visual appearance suitable to distinguish it from other displayed information in an interface, or suitable to distinguish it from a previous visual appearance of the same information. In some embodiments, highlighting may be achieved by changing a display size, display color, background color, outline setting, underline setting, italic setting, bold setting, font size setting, font setting, outline setting, animation style, or any other suitable aspect of the visual appearance of displayed information. In the depicted embodiment in
At block 6046, optionally, while the first information is highlighted, the device detects a second rotation of the rotatable input mechanism. In some embodiments, a second rotation of the rotatable input mechanism may comprise one or more rotations in one or more directions, having one or more speeds, having one or more durations, and having one or more spacings relative to one another. In some embodiments, a second rotation of the rotatable input mechanism may comprise a single rotation of a rotatable input mechanism in a predefined rotational direction. In the example depicted in
At block 6048, optionally, in response to detecting the second rotation of the rotatable input mechanism, the device edits a first color setting corresponding to the first information. In some embodiments, color settings may be modified by a user using an edit interface such as the one depicted in part by editing interface screens 5960, 5970, and 5980 in
In the depicted example of
At block 6050, optionally, in response to detecting the second rotation of the rotatable input mechanism, the device maintains a second color setting corresponding to the third information. As explained above with reference to block 6022, the third information, in some embodiments, is information displayed as part of a complication in a different platter from the first information displayed as part of a complication in a first platter. Thus, in some embodiments, when a color setting of one platter, complication, or other displayed information is edited, the color setting of another platter, complication, or other displayed information may be maintained and not changed. In some embodiments, users may wish to be able to individually customize the color settings of complications on an interface, which may help users to assign meaningful color-complication relationships in accordance with their chosen arrangement of complications.
Block 6052 optionally follows from block 6048. At block 6052, optionally, in response to detecting the second rotation of the rotatable input mechanism, the device edits a second color setting corresponding to the third information. As explained above with reference to block 6022, the third information, in some embodiments, is information displayed as part of a complication in a different platter from the first information displayed as part of a complication in a first platter. Thus, in some embodiments, when a color setting of one platter, complication, or other displayed information is edited, the color setting of another platter, complication, or other displayed information may be edited in accordance with the same input that caused the editing of the first platter, complication, or other displayed information.
In some embodiments, a user may edit a color setting of more than one of the complications/platters, or of all of the complications/platters, at the same time. For example, color themes may be predetermined and saved on the device (or available to the device by network communication), such that a user may select a single theme that assigns a color setting to more than one or all of the complications/platters. In some embodiments, themes may assign a predetermined color setting to a predetermined platter. In some embodiments, themes may assign a predetermined color setting to a predetermined type of complication, regardless of the platter in which it appears. In some embodiments, a theme may be a gradient theme or a pattern theme that renders more than one of the complications/platters, or all of the complications/platters, as a continuous gradient or a continuous pattern across the letters and numbers in the multiple complications/platters. In some embodiments, selecting a predefined color setting scheme or theme may be advantageous because it may allow a user to assign color settings to complications such that adjacent colors are adequately contrasting, making distinction between complications easier. In some embodiments, themes that assign predefined color settings to predefined complications or types of complications (rather than to platters) may be advantageous because they may help a user to quickly identify a complication or complication type based on its color.
In
Block 6054 optionally follows from blocks 6024-6052. At block 6054, while displaying the first editing interface, the device detects a horizontal swipe gesture. In some embodiments, the horizontal swipe gesture may be detected at any location on a touch-sensitive surface or at any location on a touch-sensitive surface corresponding to the first editing interface. In this way, the horizontal swipe gesture may be said, in some embodiments, to be location independent. In the depicted example of
At block 6056, optionally, in response to detecting the horizontal swipe gesture, the device displays a second editing interface for editing second display settings corresponding to the first information and the third information. In some embodiments, the second editing interface may be an interface for editing a different display setting or a different display characteristic of the same underlying user interface. In some embodiments, the second editing interface may be a second page among several editing interface pages that are accessible by paging from side to side. In some embodiments, a user may swipe from side to side to navigate between one editing interface or editing page and other editing interfaces or editing pages, for example, by swiping to the left to access a page to the right, or by swiping to the right to access a page to the left. In some embodiments, editing interface pages which may be paged through by a user may each correspond to editing a different display setting; a page may be configured to edit a color setting, a font setting, a text size setting, a text style (e.g., underline, bold, italics, etc.), a location setting (e.g., the location at which information is displayed), a privacy setting, a density setting, and/or a complication identity setting (e.g., the underlying data or information which is displayed in a given slot, location, or platter). In some embodiments, editing interface pages may be configured to edit more than one display setting in accordance with predefined user inputs.
In the depicted example of
In
Block 6058 optionally follows from blocks 6024-6052. At block 6058, optionally, the device displays a third editing interface for editing third display settings corresponding to the first information and third displayed information, wherein the third information corresponds to a different subject matter than the first subject matter. In some embodiments, the third editing interface may share some or all of the characteristics of the first and/or second editing interfaces described above with reference to blocks 6022 and 6056, respectively. In some embodiments, the third editing interface may be the same interface as the second editing interface described above with reference to block 6056, including that it may be accessed by executing a swipe gesture while displaying the first editing interface, as described above with reference to blocks 6054-6056. In the depicted example of
At block 6060, optionally, blocks 6062-6070 are optionally performed while displaying the third editing interface. In the depicted example of
At block 6062, the device detects a second touch input at a location corresponding to the first information. The touch input detected may be a single-touch input, a multi touch input, a single-tap input, and/or a multi-tap input detected by touch- and/or pressure sensitive elements in any touch- and/or pressure-sensitive surface, including a touch-screen. In some embodiments, a device may detect a touch contact at a location that corresponds to the first information. In some embodiments, the touch input may be detected on a touchscreen, such as display 5902. In some embodiments, the touch input may be detected at a location at which the first information is displayed. In some embodiments, the touch input may be detected at a location of a platter in which the first information is displayed, such that the touch contact may be detected at a location corresponding to information associated with the first information, such as second or third information included in the same complication in the same platter as the first information.
At block 6064, optionally, in response to detecting the second touch input at the location corresponding to the first information, the device highlights the first information. In some embodiments, the device may highlight the first information in any of the manners described above with reference to block 6044.
In some embodiments, rather than detecting a touch input while the third editing interface is displayed and responsively highlighting a complication or a platter, a complication or platter may already be highlighted when the third editing interface is accessed. This may occur, in some embodiments, when a user has already selected a platter/complication for editing in a previous editing interface, and pages to a new editing interface. In some embodiments, paging between editing interfaces may cause previously selected platters/complications to no longer be highlighted, while, in some embodiments, paging between editing interfaces may cause previously selected platters/complications to remain selected for editing and remain highlighted upon displaying the new editing interface.
In the depicted example of
At block 6066, optionally, while the first information is highlighted, the device detects a second rotation of the rotatable input mechanism. In some embodiments, a second rotation of the rotatable input mechanism may comprise one or more rotations in one or more directions, having one or more speeds, having one or more durations, and having one or more spacings relative to one another. In some embodiments, a second rotation of the rotatable input mechanism may comprise a single rotation of a rotatable input mechanism in a predefined rotational direction. In the example depicted in
At block 6068, optionally, in response to detecting the third rotation of the rotatable input mechanism, the device replaces the first information with fourth information corresponding to a different subject matter than the first subject matter. In some embodiments, complication identity settings may be edited by a user in an analogous manner to the way in which color settings may be edited, as described above with reference to block 6048. Just as a user may cycle through color settings for one or more complications by selecting a complication for editing and rotating the rotatable input mechanism in some editing interfaces, a user may similarly cycle through complication identity settings for one or more platters by selecting a complication/platter for editing and rotating the rotatable input mechanism in some interfaces. Rather than editing a color setting, however, (or, in some embodiments, in addition to editing a color setting), the device may cycle through different complications by replacing the complication displayed in a selected platter with one or more next or previous available complications in accordance with a magnitude and/or speed of a user's rotation. In some embodiments, a user may select from any available complication to be displayed in the selected platter, or may select an option for displaying no complication in the selected platter.
In the depicted example of
At block 6070, optionally, in response to detecting the third rotation of the rotatable input mechanism, the device maintains display of the third information. As explained above with reference to block 6022, the third information, in some embodiments, is information displayed as part of a complication in a different platter from the first information displayed as part of a complication in a first platter. Thus, in some embodiments, when a complication identity setting of one platter is edited, the complication identity setting of another platter may be maintained and not changed. In the depicted example of
In some embodiments, when a complication identity setting of one platter is edited, the complication identity setting of another platter may be edited in accordance with the same input that caused the editing of the first platter. This may occur, in some embodiments, when a user selects a predefined theme or scheme of related or otherwise curated complications, each one being assigned to a predefined platter.
In
Block 6074 optionally follows from blocks 6028-6040. At block 6074, the device detects a fourth rotation of the rotatable input mechanism. In some embodiments, a first rotation of the rotatable input mechanism may comprise one or more rotations in one or more directions, having one or more speeds, having one or more durations, and having one or more spacings relative to one another. In some embodiments, a first rotation of the rotatable input mechanism may comprise a single rotation of a rotatable input mechanism in a predefined rotational direction.
At block 6076, optionally, in response to detecting the fourth rotation of the rotatable input mechanism, the device supplements the first information and the second information with fourth information relating to a third portion of the received data. In some embodiments, the fourth information may correspond to a third portion of the same data used by the device to present the first information and the second information. As described above with reference to block 6010, the received information may be divided into portions; in some embodiments, the third portion of the data may be determined to be even more private and even more sensitive than the first and second portions of the data. In some embodiments, the fourth information relating to the third portion of the received data may be presented when the device is set to a third privacy/density state, such as by a user executing an additional rotational input or a further rotational input in any of the manners described above with reference to blocks 6026-6040. That is, in some embodiments, a user may execute a first rotation to supplement the first, less sensitive information with the second, more sensitive information; the user may then continue the rotation or execute an additional rotation in the same direction to supplement the first and second information with the fourth, even more sensitive information. In some embodiments, the even more sensitive information may be displayed in the same platter as the first and second information, simply further to the right. In some embodiments, the even more sensitive information may be displayed in an even smaller font size setting than the font size setting corresponding to the second information. In some embodiments, the even more sensitive information may include even more lines of text than the second information. In some embodiments, the even more sensitive information may be presented without the use (or with limited use) of icons, images, glyphs, or logos.
