Dynamic user interface with time indicator

Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to a dynamic user interface having an indication of time. The dynamic user interface having the indication of time further includes one or more geometric regions that intersect the indication of time, such that colors of the indication of time are different on opposite sides of a boundary of the one or more geometric regions that intersect the indication of time. The one or more geometric regions may shift and/or change over time, thereby providing a custom and/or unique dynamic user interface having the indication of time.
Description
FIELD

The present disclosure relates generally to computer user interfaces, and more specifically to techniques for providing user interfaces having an indication of time.


BACKGROUND

Electronic devices include user interfaces that provide an indication of time. Such user interfaces can include images and/or complications that include information associated with applications of the electronic device.


BRIEF SUMMARY

Some techniques for providing user interfaces having an indication of time using electronic devices, however, are generally cumbersome and inefficient. For example, some 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 technique provides electronic devices with faster, more efficient methods and interfaces for providing user interfaces having an indication of time. Such methods and interfaces optionally complement or replace other methods for providing user interfaces having an indication of time. Such methods and interfaces reduce the cognitive burden on a user and produce a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, such methods and interfaces conserve power and increase the time between battery charges.


In accordance with some embodiments, a method performed at a computer system that is in communication with a display generation component is described. The method comprises: receiving a first request to display an indication of time; in response to receiving the first request to display the indication of time, displaying, via the display generation component: the indication of time; and one or more first geometric regions that intersect the indication of time, where on a first side of a boundary of the one or more first geometric regions, the indication of time includes a first color, and where on a second side of the boundary of the one or more first geometric regions, the indication of time includes a second color different from the first color; after displaying the indication of time and the one or more first geometric regions receiving a second request to display the indication of time; and in response to receiving the second request to display the indication of time, displaying, via the display generation component: the indication of time; and one or more second geometric regions that intersect the indication of time, where the one or more second geometric regions are different from the one or more first geometric regions, and where on a first side of a boundary of the one or more second geometric regions, the indication of time includes a third color, and where on a second side of the boundary of the one or more second geometric regions, the indication of time includes a fourth color different from the third color.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

The following description sets forth exemplary methods, parameters, and the like. It should be recognized, however, that such description is not intended as a limitation on the scope of the present disclosure but is instead provided as a description of exemplary embodiments.


There is a need for electronic devices that provide efficient methods and interfaces for providing user interfaces having an indication of time. For example, there is a need for devices that provide an indication of a current time in a compelling and dynamic manner. Such techniques can reduce the cognitive burden on a user who accesses user interfaces having an indication of time on a device, thereby enhancing productivity. Further, such techniques can reduce processor and battery power otherwise wasted on redundant user inputs.


Below, FIGS. 1A-1B, 2, 3, 4A-4B, and 5A-5D provide a description of exemplary devices for performing the techniques for providing user interfaces having an indication of time. FIGS. 6A-6K illustrate exemplary user interfaces for displaying a dynamic user interface having an indication of time. FIGS. 7A-7D is a flow diagram illustrating methods of displaying dynamic user interfaces having an indication of time in accordance with some embodiments. The user interfaces in FIGS. 6A-6K are used to illustrate the processes described below, including the processes in FIGS. 7A-7D.


In addition, in methods described herein where one or more steps are contingent upon one or more conditions having been met, it should be understood that the described method can be repeated in multiple repetitions so that over the course of the repetitions all of the conditions upon which steps in the method are contingent have been met in different repetitions of the method. For example, if a method requires performing a first step if a condition is satisfied, and a second step if the condition is not satisfied, then a person of ordinary skill would appreciate that the claimed steps are repeated until the condition has been both satisfied and not satisfied, in no particular order. Thus, a method described with one or more steps that are contingent upon one or more conditions having been met could be rewritten as a method that is repeated until each of the conditions described in the method has been met. This, however, is not required of system or computer readable medium claims where the system or computer readable medium contains instructions for performing the contingent operations based on the satisfaction of the corresponding one or more conditions and thus is capable of determining whether the contingency has or has not been satisfied without explicitly repeating steps of a method until all of the conditions upon which steps in the method are contingent have been met. A person having ordinary skill in the art would also understand that, similar to a method with contingent steps, a system or computer readable storage medium can repeat the steps of a method as many times as are needed to ensure that all of the contingent steps have been performed.


Although the following description uses terms “first,” “second,” etc. to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by the terms. In some embodiments, these terms are used to distinguish one element from another. For example, a first touch could be termed a second touch, and, similarly, a second touch could be termed a first touch, without departing from the scope of the various described embodiments. In some embodiments, the first touch and the second touch are two separate references to the same touch. In some embodiments, the first touch and the second touch are both touches, but they are not the same touch.


The terminology used in the description of the various described embodiments herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used in the description of the various described embodiments and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will also be understood that the term “and/or” as used herein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. It will be further understood that the terms “includes,” “including,” “comprises,” and/or “comprising,” when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.


The term “if” is, optionally, construed to mean “when” or “upon” or “in response to determining” or “in response to detecting,” depending on the context. Similarly, the phrase “if it is determined” or “if [a stated condition or event] is detected” is, optionally, construed to mean “upon determining” or “in response to determining” or “upon detecting [the stated condition or event]” or “in response to detecting [the stated condition or event],” depending on the context.


Embodiments of electronic devices, user interfaces for such devices, and associated processes for using such devices are described. In some embodiments, the device is a portable communications device, such as a mobile telephone, that also contains other functions, such as PDA and/or music player functions. Exemplary embodiments of portable multifunction devices include, without limitation, the iPhone®, iPod Touch®, and iPad® devices from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, Calif. Other portable electronic devices, such as laptops or tablet computers with touch-sensitive surfaces (e.g., touch screen displays and/or touchpads), are, optionally, used. It should also be understood that, in some embodiments, the device is not a portable communications device, but is a desktop computer with a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch screen display and/or a touchpad). In some embodiments, the electronic device is a computer system that is in communication (e.g., via wireless communication, via wired communication) with a display generation component. The display generation component is configured to provide visual output, such as display via a CRT display, display via an LED display, or display via image projection. In some embodiments, the display generation component is integrated with the computer system. In some embodiments, the display generation component is separate from the computer system. As used herein, “displaying” content includes causing to display the content (e.g., video data rendered or decoded by display controller 156) by transmitting, via a wired or wireless connection, data (e.g., image data or video data) to an integrated or external display generation component to visually produce the content.


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 typically supports 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. FIG. 1A is a block diagram illustrating portable multifunction device 100 with touch-sensitive display system 112 in accordance with some embodiments. Touch-sensitive display 112 is sometimes called a “touch screen” for convenience and is sometimes known as or called a “touch-sensitive display system.” Device 100 includes memory 102 (which optionally includes one or more computer-readable storage mediums), memory controller 122, one or more processing units (CPUs) 120, peripherals interface 118, RF circuitry 108, audio circuitry 110, speaker 111, microphone 113, input/output (I/O) subsystem 106, other input control devices 116, and external port 124. Device 100 optionally includes one or more optical sensors 164. Device 100 optionally includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165 for detecting intensity of contacts on device 100 (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface such as touch-sensitive display system 112 of device 100). Device 100 optionally includes one or more tactile output generators 167 for generating tactile outputs on device 100 (e.g., generating tactile outputs on a touch-sensitive surface such as touch-sensitive display system 112 of device 100 or touchpad 355 of device 300). These components optionally communicate over one or more communication buses or signal lines 103.


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 various components shown in FIG. 1A are implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of both hardware and software, including one or more signal processing and/or application-specific integrated circuits.


Memory 102 optionally includes high-speed random access memory and optionally also includes non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic disk storage devices, flash memory devices, or other non-volatile solid-state memory devices. Memory controller 122 optionally controls access to memory 102 by other components of device 100.


Peripherals interface 118 can be used to couple input and output peripherals of the device to CPU 120 and memory 102. The one or more processors 120 run or execute various software programs (such as computer programs (e.g., including instructions)) and/or sets of instructions stored in memory 102 to perform various functions for device 100 and to process data. In some embodiments, peripherals interface 118, CPU 120, and memory controller 122 are, optionally, implemented on a single chip, such as chip 104. In some other embodiments, they are, optionally, implemented on separate chips.


RF (radio frequency) circuitry 108 receives and sends RF signals, also called electromagnetic signals. RF circuitry 108 converts electrical signals to/from electromagnetic signals and communicates with communications networks and other communications devices via the electromagnetic signals. RF circuitry 108 optionally includes well-known circuitry for performing these functions, including but not limited to an antenna system, an RF transceiver, one or more amplifiers, a tuner, one or more oscillators, a digital signal processor, a CODEC chipset, a subscriber identity module (SIM) card, memory, and so forth. RF circuitry 108 optionally communicates with networks, such as the Internet, also referred to as the World Wide Web (WWW), an intranet and/or a wireless network, such as a cellular telephone network, a wireless local area network (LAN) and/or a metropolitan area network (MAN), and other devices by wireless communication. The RF circuitry 108 optionally includes well-known circuitry for detecting near field communication (NFC) fields, such as by a short-range communication radio. The wireless communication optionally uses any of a plurality of communications standards, protocols, and technologies, including but not limited to Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), Enhanced Data GSM Environment (EDGE), high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA), high-speed uplink packet access (HSUPA), Evolution, Data-Only (EV-DO), HSPA, HSPA+, Dual-Cell HSPA (DC-HSPDA), long term evolution (LTE), near field communication (NFC), wideband code division multiple access (W-CDMA), code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE), Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) (e.g., IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11n, and/or IEEE 802.11ac), voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), Wi-MAX, a protocol for e-mail (e.g., Internet message access protocol (IMAP) and/or post office protocol (POP)), instant messaging (e.g., extensible messaging and presence protocol (XMPP), Session Initiation Protocol for Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions (SIMPLE), Instant Messaging and Presence Service (IMPS)), and/or Short Message Service (SMS), or any other suitable communication protocol, including communication protocols not yet developed as of the filing date of this document.


Audio circuitry 110, speaker 111, and microphone 113 provide an audio interface between a user and device 100. Audio circuitry 110 receives audio data from peripherals interface 118, converts the audio data to an electrical signal, and transmits the electrical signal to speaker 111. Speaker 111 converts the electrical signal to human-audible sound waves. Audio circuitry 110 also receives electrical signals converted by microphone 113 from sound waves. Audio circuitry 110 converts the electrical signal to audio data and transmits the audio data to peripherals interface 118 for processing. Audio data is, optionally, retrieved from and/or transmitted to memory 102 and/or RF circuitry 108 by peripherals interface 118. In some embodiments, audio circuitry 110 also includes a headset jack (e.g., 212, FIG. 2). The headset jack provides an interface between audio circuitry 110 and removable audio input/output peripherals, such as output-only headphones or a headset with both output (e.g., a headphone for one or both ears) and input (e.g., a microphone).


I/O subsystem 106 couples input/output peripherals on device 100, such as touch screen 112 and other input control devices 116, to peripherals interface 118. I/O subsystem 106 optionally includes display controller 156, optical sensor controller 158, depth camera controller 169, intensity sensor controller 159, haptic feedback controller 161, and one or more input controllers 160 for other input or control devices. The one or more input controllers 160 receive/send electrical signals from/to other input control devices 116. The other input control devices 116 optionally include physical buttons (e.g., push buttons, rocker buttons, etc.), dials, slider switches, joysticks, click wheels, and so forth. In some embodiments, input controller(s) 160 are, optionally, coupled to any (or none) of the following: a keyboard, an infrared port, a USB port, and a pointer device such as a mouse. The one or more buttons (e.g., 208, FIG. 2) optionally include an up/down button for volume control of speaker 111 and/or microphone 113. The one or more buttons optionally include a push button (e.g., 206, FIG. 2). In some embodiments, the electronic device is a computer system that is in communication (e.g., via wireless communication, via wired communication) with one or more input devices. In some embodiments, the one or more input devices include a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a trackpad, as part of a touch-sensitive display). In some embodiments, the one or more input devices include one or more camera sensors (e.g., one or more optical sensors 164 and/or one or more depth camera sensors 175), such as for tracking a user's gestures (e.g., hand gestures and/or air gestures) as input. In some embodiments, the one or more input devices are integrated with the computer system. In some embodiments, the one or more input devices are separate from the computer system. In some embodiments, an air gesture is a gesture that is detected without the user touching an input element that is part of the device (or independently of an input element that is a part of the device) and is based on detected motion of a portion of the user's body through the air including motion of the user's body relative to an absolute reference (e.g., an angle of the user's arm relative to the ground or a distance of the user's hand relative to the ground), relative to another portion of the user's body (e.g., movement of a hand of the user relative to a shoulder of the user, movement of one hand of the user relative to another hand of the user, and/or movement of a finger of the user relative to another finger or portion of a hand of the user), and/or absolute motion of a portion of the user's body (e.g., a tap gesture that includes movement of a hand in a predetermined pose by a predetermined amount and/or speed, or a shake gesture that includes a predetermined speed or amount of rotation of a portion of the user's body).


A quick press of the push button optionally disengages a lock of touch screen 112 or optionally begins 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) optionally turns power to device 100 on or off. The functionality of one or more of the buttons are, optionally, user-customizable. 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 optionally includes graphics, text, icons, video, and any combination thereof (collectively termed “graphics”). In some embodiments, some or all of the visual output optionally corresponds 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 optionally uses LCD (liquid crystal display) technology, LPD (light emitting polymer display) technology, or LED (light emitting diode) technology, although other display technologies are used in other embodiments. Touch screen 112 and display controller 156 optionally 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, Calif.


A touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of touch screen 112 is, optionally, 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 is 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.

Touch screen 112 optionally has a video resolution in excess of 100 dpi. In some embodiments, the touch screen has a video resolution of approximately 160 dpi. The user optionally makes 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 optionally includes a touchpad 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 is, optionally, 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 optionally includes 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.

Optical sensor 164 receives light from the environment, projected through one or more lenses, and converts the light to data representing an image. In conjunction with imaging module 143 (also called a camera module), optical sensor 164 optionally captures still images or video. In some embodiments, an optical sensor is located on the back of device 100, opposite touch screen display 112 on the front of the device so that the touch screen display is enabled for use as a viewfinder for still and/or video image acquisition. In some embodiments, an optical sensor is located on the front of the device so that the user's image is, optionally, obtained for video conferencing while the user views the other video conference participants on the touch screen display. In some embodiments, the position of optical sensor 164 can be changed by the user (e.g., by rotating the lens and the sensor in the device housing) so that a single optical sensor 164 is used along with the touch screen display for both video conferencing and still and/or video image acquisition.


Device 100 optionally also includes one or more depth camera sensors 175. FIG. 1A shows a depth camera sensor coupled to depth camera controller 169 in I/O subsystem 106. Depth camera sensor 175 receives data from the environment to create a three dimensional model of an object (e.g., a face) within a scene from a viewpoint (e.g., a depth camera sensor). In some embodiments, in conjunction with imaging module 143 (also called a camera module), depth camera sensor 175 is optionally used to determine a depth map of different portions of an image captured by the imaging module 143. In some embodiments, a depth camera sensor is located on the front of device 100 so that the user's image with depth information is, optionally, obtained for video conferencing while the user views the other video conference participants on the touch screen display and to capture selfies with depth map data. In some embodiments, the depth camera sensor 175 is located on the back of device, or on the back and the front of the device 100. In some embodiments, the position of depth camera sensor 175 can be changed by the user (e.g., by rotating the lens and the sensor in the device housing) so that a depth camera sensor 175 is used along with the touch screen display for both video conferencing and still and/or video image acquisition.


Device 100 optionally also includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165. FIG. 1A shows a contact intensity sensor coupled to intensity sensor controller 159 in I/O subsystem 106. Contact intensity sensor 165 optionally includes one or more piezoresistive strain gauges, capacitive force sensors, electric force sensors, piezoelectric force sensors, optical force sensors, capacitive touch-sensitive surfaces, or other intensity sensors (e.g., sensors used to measure the force (or pressure) of a contact on a touch-sensitive surface). Contact intensity sensor 165 receives contact intensity information (e.g., pressure information or a proxy for pressure information) from the environment. In some embodiments, at least one contact intensity sensor is collocated with, or proximate to, a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touch-sensitive display system 112). In some embodiments, at least one contact intensity sensor is located on the back of device 100, opposite touch screen display 112, which is located on the front of device 100.


Device 100 optionally also includes one or more proximity sensors 166. FIG. 1A shows proximity sensor 166 coupled to peripherals interface 118. Alternately, proximity sensor 166 is, optionally, coupled to input controller 160 in I/O subsystem 106. Proximity sensor 166 optionally performs as described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/241,839, “Proximity Detector In Handheld Device”; Ser. No. 11/240,788, “Proximity Detector In Handheld Device”; Ser. No. 11/620,702, “Using Ambient Light Sensor To Augment Proximity Sensor Output”; Ser. No. 11/586,862, “Automated Response To And Sensing Of User Activity In Portable Devices”; and Ser. No. 11/638,251, “Methods And Systems For Automatic Configuration Of Peripherals,” which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. In some embodiments, the proximity sensor turns off and disables touch screen 112 when the multifunction device is placed near the user's ear (e.g., when the user is making a phone call).


Device 100 optionally also includes one or more tactile output generators 167. FIG. 1A shows a tactile output generator coupled to haptic feedback controller 161 in I/O subsystem 106. Tactile output generator 167 optionally includes one or more electroacoustic devices such as speakers or other audio components and/or electromechanical devices that convert energy into linear motion such as a motor, solenoid, electroactive polymer, piezoelectric actuator, electrostatic actuator, or other tactile output generating component (e.g., a component that converts electrical signals into tactile outputs on the device). Contact intensity sensor 165 receives tactile feedback generation instructions from haptic feedback module 133 and generates tactile outputs on device 100 that are capable of being sensed by a user of device 100. In some embodiments, at least one tactile output generator is collocated with, or proximate to, a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touch-sensitive display system 112) and, optionally, generates a tactile output by moving the touch-sensitive surface vertically (e.g., in/out of a surface of device 100) or laterally (e.g., back and forth in the same plane as a surface of device 100). In some embodiments, at least one tactile output generator sensor is located on the back of device 100, opposite touch screen display 112, which is located on the front of device 100.


Device 100 optionally also includes one or more accelerometers 168. FIG. 1A shows accelerometer 168 coupled to peripherals interface 118. Alternately, accelerometer 168 is, optionally, coupled to an input controller 160 in I/O subsystem 106.

In some embodiments, information is displayed on the touch screen display in a portrait view or a landscape view based on an analysis of data received from the one or more accelerometers. Device 100 optionally includes, in addition to accelerometer(s) 168, a magnetometer and a GPS (or GLONASS or other global navigation system) receiver for obtaining information concerning the location and orientation (e.g., portrait or landscape) of device 100.


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 (FIG. 1A) or 370 (FIG. 3) stores device/global internal state 157, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 3. Device/global internal state 157 includes one or more of: active application state, indicating which applications, if any, are currently active; display state, indicating what applications, views or other information occupy various regions of touch screen display 112; sensor state, including information obtained from the device's various sensors and input control devices 116; and location information concerning the device's location and/or attitude.


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 is, optionally, 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).

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 (such as computer programs (e.g., including instructions)), procedures, or modules, and thus various subsets of these modules are, optionally, combined or otherwise rearranged in various embodiments. For example, video player module is, optionally, combined with music player module into a single module (e.g., video and music player module 152, FIG. 1A). In some embodiments, memory 102 optionally stores a subset of the modules and data structures identified above. Furthermore, memory 102 optionally stores additional modules and data structures not described above.


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 is, optionally, 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.



FIG. 1B is a block diagram illustrating exemplary components for event handling in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments, memory 102 (FIG. 1A) or 370 (FIG. 3) includes event sorter 170 (e.g., in operating system 126) and a respective application 136-1 (e.g., any of the aforementioned applications 137-151, 155, 380-390).


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 optionally 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 is, optionally, called the hit view, and the set of events that are recognized as proper inputs are, optionally, 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 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 optionally utilizes or calls 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 optionally 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 optionally also includes 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 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.



FIG. 2 illustrates a portable multifunction device 100 having a touch screen 112 in accordance with some embodiments. The touch screen optionally displays one or more graphics within user interface (UI) 200. In this embodiment, as well as others described below, a user is enabled to select one or more of the graphics by making a gesture on the graphics, for example, with one or more fingers 202 (not drawn to scale in the figure) or one or more styluses 203 (not drawn to scale in the figure). In some embodiments, selection of one or more graphics occurs when the user breaks contact with the one or more graphics. In some embodiments, the gesture optionally includes one or more taps, one or more swipes (from left to right, right to left, upward and/or downward), and/or a rolling of a finger (from right to left, left to right, upward and/or downward) that has made contact with device 100. In some implementations or circumstances, inadvertent contact with a graphic does not select the graphic. For example, a swipe gesture that sweeps over an application icon optionally does not select the corresponding application when the gesture corresponding to selection is a tap.


Device 100 optionally also include one or more physical buttons, such as “home” or menu button 204. As described previously, menu button 204 is, optionally, used to navigate to any application 136 in a set of applications that are, optionally, 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 some embodiments, 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.



FIG. 3 is a block diagram of an exemplary multifunction device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface in accordance with some embodiments. Device 300 need not be portable. In some embodiments, device 300 is a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a tablet computer, a multimedia player device, a navigation device, an educational device (such as a child's learning toy), a gaming system, or a control device (e.g., a home or industrial controller). Device 300 typically includes one or more processing units (CPUs) 310, one or more network or other communications interfaces 360, memory 370, and one or more communication buses 320 for interconnecting these components. Communication buses 320 optionally include circuitry (sometimes called a chipset) that interconnects and controls communications between system components. Device 300 includes input/output (I/O) interface 330 comprising display 340, which is typically a touch screen display. I/O interface 330 also optionally includes a keyboard and/or mouse (or other pointing device) 350 and touchpad 355, tactile output generator 357 for generating tactile outputs on device 300 (e.g., similar to tactile output generator(s) 167 described above with reference to FIG. 1A), sensors 359 (e.g., optical, acceleration, proximity, touch-sensitive, and/or contact intensity sensors similar to contact intensity sensor(s) 165 described above with reference to FIG. 1A). Memory 370 includes high-speed random access memory, such as DRAM, SRAM, DDR RAM, or other random access solid state memory devices; and optionally includes non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic disk storage devices, optical disk storage devices, flash memory devices, or other non-volatile solid state storage devices. Memory 370 optionally includes one or more storage devices remotely located from CPU(s) 310. In some embodiments, memory 370 stores programs, modules, and data structures analogous to the programs, modules, and data structures stored in memory 102 of portable multifunction device 100 (FIG. 1A), or a subset thereof. Furthermore, memory 370 optionally stores additional programs, modules, and data structures not present in memory 102 of portable multifunction device 100. For example, memory 370 of device 300 optionally stores drawing module 380, presentation module 382, word processing module 384, website creation module 386, disk authoring module 388, and/or spreadsheet module 390, while memory 102 of portable multifunction device 100 (FIG. 1A) optionally does not store these modules.


Each of the above-identified elements in FIG. 3 is, optionally, stored in one or more of the previously mentioned memory devices. Each of the above-identified modules corresponds to a set of instructions for performing a function described above. The above-identified modules or computer programs (e.g., sets of instructions or including instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs (such as computer programs (e.g., including instructions)), procedures, or modules, and thus various subsets of these modules are, optionally, combined or otherwise rearranged in various embodiments. In some embodiments, memory 370 optionally stores a subset of the modules and data structures identified above. Furthermore, memory 370 optionally stores additional modules and data structures not described above.


Attention is now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces that are, optionally, implemented on, for example, portable multifunction device 100.



FIG. 4A illustrates an exemplary user interface for a menu of applications on portable multifunction device 100 in accordance with some embodiments. Similar user interfaces are, optionally, implemented on device 300. In some embodiments, user interface 400 includes the following elements, or a subset or superset thereof:

    • Signal strength indicator(s) 402 for wireless communication(s), such as cellular and Wi-Fi signals;
    • Time 404;
    • Bluetooth indicator 405;
    • Battery status indicator 406;
    • Tray 408 with icons for frequently used applications, such as:
      • Icon 416 for telephone module 138, labeled “Phone,” which optionally includes an indicator 414 of the number of missed calls or voicemail messages;
      • Icon 418 for e-mail client module 140, labeled “Mail,” which optionally includes an indicator 410 of the number of unread e-mails;
      • Icon 420 for browser module 147, labeled “Browser;” and
      • Icon 422 for video and music player module 152, also referred to as iPod (trademark of Apple Inc.) module 152, labeled “iPod;” and
    • Icons for other applications, such as:
      • Icon 424 for IM module 141, labeled “Messages;”
      • Icon 426 for calendar module 148, labeled “Calendar;”
      • Icon 428 for image management module 144, labeled “Photos;”
      • Icon 430 for camera module 143, labeled “Camera;”
      • Icon 432 for online video module 155, labeled “Online Video;”
      • Icon 434 for stocks widget 149-2, labeled “Stocks;”
      • Icon 436 for map module 154, labeled “Maps;”
      • Icon 438 for weather widget 149-1, labeled “Weather;”
      • Icon 440 for alarm clock widget 149-4, labeled “Clock;”
      • Icon 442 for workout support module 142, labeled “Workout Support;”
      • Icon 444 for notes module 153, labeled “Notes;” and
      • Icon 446 for a settings application or module, labeled “Settings,” which provides access to settings for device 100 and its various applications 136.


It should be noted that the icon labels illustrated in FIG. 4A are merely exemplary. For example, icon 422 for video and music player module 152 is labeled “Music” or “Music Player.” Other labels are, optionally, used for various application icons. In some embodiments, a label for a respective application icon includes a name of an application corresponding to the respective application icon. In some embodiments, a label for a particular application icon is distinct from a name of an application corresponding to the particular application icon.



FIG. 4B illustrates an exemplary user interface on a device (e.g., device 300, FIG. 3) with a touch-sensitive surface 451 (e.g., a tablet or touchpad 355, FIG. 3) that is separate from the display 450 (e.g., touch screen display 112). Device 300 also, optionally, includes one or more contact intensity sensors (e.g., one or more of sensors 359) for detecting intensity of contacts on touch-sensitive surface 451 and/or one or more tactile output generators 357 for generating tactile outputs for a user of device 300.


Although some of the examples that 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 FIG. 4B. In some embodiments, the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., 451 in FIG. 4B) has a primary axis (e.g., 452 in FIG. 4B) that corresponds to a primary axis (e.g., 453 in FIG. 4B) on the display (e.g., 450). In accordance with these embodiments, the device detects contacts (e.g., 460 and 462 in FIG. 4B) with the touch-sensitive surface 451 at locations that correspond to respective locations on the display (e.g., in FIG. 4B, 460 corresponds to 468 and 462 corresponds to 470). In this way, user inputs (e.g., contacts 460 and 462, and movements thereof) detected by the device on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., 451 in FIG. 4B) are used by the device to manipulate the user interface on the display (e.g., 450 in FIG. 4B) of the multifunction device when the touch-sensitive surface is separate from the display. It should be understood that similar methods are, optionally, used for other user interfaces described herein.


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.



FIG. 5A illustrates exemplary personal electronic device 500. Device 500 includes body 502. In some embodiments, device 500 can include some or all of the features described with respect to devices 100 and 300 (e.g., FIGS. 1A-4B). In some embodiments, device 500 has touch-sensitive display screen 504, hereafter touch screen 504. Alternatively, or in addition to touch screen 504, device 500 has a display and a touch-sensitive surface. As with devices 100 and 300, in some embodiments, touch screen 504 (or the touch-sensitive surface) optionally includes one or more intensity sensors for detecting intensity of contacts (e.g., touches) being applied. The one or more intensity sensors of touch screen 504 (or the touch-sensitive surface) can provide output data that represents the intensity of touches. The user interface of device 500 can respond to touches based on their intensity, meaning that touches of different intensities can invoke different user interface operations on device 500.


Exemplary techniques for detecting and processing touch intensity are 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 permit device 500 to be worn by a user.



FIG. 5B depicts exemplary personal electronic device 500. In some embodiments, device 500 can include some or all of the components described with respect to FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 3. Device 500 has bus 512 that operatively couples I/O section 514 with one or more computer processors 516 and memory 518. I/O section 514 can be connected to display 504, which can have touch-sensitive component 522 and, optionally, intensity sensor 524 (e.g., contact intensity sensor). In addition, I/O section 514 can be connected with communication unit 530 for receiving application and operating system data, using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, near field communication (NFC), cellular, and/or other wireless communication techniques. Device 500 can include input mechanisms 506 and/or 508. Input mechanism 506 is, optionally, a rotatable input device or a depressible and rotatable input device, for example. Input mechanism 508 is, optionally, a button, in some examples.


Input mechanism 508 is, optionally, a microphone, in some examples. Personal electronic device 500 optionally includes 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 include one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums, 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 below, including process 700 (FIGS. 7A-7D). A computer-readable storage medium can be any medium that can tangibly contain or store computer-executable instructions for use by or in connection with the instruction execution system, apparatus, or device. In some examples, the storage medium is a transitory computer-readable storage medium. In some examples, the storage medium is a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium can include, but is not limited to, magnetic, optical, and/or semiconductor storages. Examples of such storage include magnetic disks, optical discs based on CD, DVD, or Blu-ray technologies, as well as persistent solid-state memory such as flash, solid-state drives, and the like. Personal electronic device 500 is not limited to the components and configuration of FIG. 5B, but can include other or additional components in multiple configurations.


As used here, the term “affordance” refers to a user-interactive graphical user interface object that is, optionally, displayed on the display screen of devices 100, 300, and/or 500 (FIGS. 1A, 3, and 5A-5B). For example, an image (e.g., icon), a button, and text (e.g., hyperlink) each optionally constitute an affordance.


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 FIG. 3 or touch-sensitive surface 451 in FIG. 4B) while the cursor is over a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider, or other user interface element), the particular user interface element is adjusted in accordance with the detected input. In some implementations that include a touch screen display (e.g., touch-sensitive display system 112 in FIG. 1A or touch screen 112 in FIG. 4A) that enables direct interaction with user interface elements on the touch screen display, a detected contact on the touch screen acts as a “focus selector” so that when an input (e.g., a press input by the contact) is detected on the touch screen display at a location of a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider, or other user interface element), the particular user interface element is adjusted in accordance with the detected input. In some implementations, focus is moved from one region of a user interface to another region of the user interface without corresponding movement of a cursor or movement of a contact on a touch screen display (e.g., by using a tab key or arrow keys to move focus from one button to another button); in these implementations, the focus selector moves in accordance with movement of focus between different regions of the user interface. Without regard to the specific form taken by the focus selector, the focus selector is generally the user interface element (or contact on a touch screen display) that is controlled by the user so as to communicate the user's intended interaction with the user interface (e.g., by indicating, to the device, the element of the user interface with which the user is intending to interact). For example, the location of a focus selector (e.g., a cursor, a contact, or a selection box) over a respective button while a press input is detected on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touchpad or touch screen) will indicate that the user is intending to activate the respective button (as opposed to other user interface elements shown on a display of the device).


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 optionally includes 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 optionally receives 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 is, optionally, 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 is, optionally, 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 is, optionally, 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.


Attention is now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces (“UI”) and associated processes that are implemented on an electronic device, such as portable multifunction device 100, device 300, or device 500.



FIGS. 6A-6K illustrate exemplary user interfaces for providing an interactive and dynamic user interface with an indication of time, in accordance with some embodiments. The user interfaces in these figures are used to illustrate the processes described below, including the processes in FIGS. 7A-7D.



FIG. 6A illustrates computer system 600 (e.g., portable multifunction device 100, device 300, or device 500) with display generation component 602 and displaying, via display generation component 602, user interface 604 at a first time of day (e.g., 10:09). At FIG. 6A, computer system 600 is in a first mode, such as an active mode or a normal operating mode. In some embodiments, as set forth below with reference to FIG. 6B, computer system 600 transitions between the first mode and a second mode (e.g., an inactive mode, a sleep mode, and/or a low-power consumption mode) in response to user input corresponding to a request to enter the second mode or an absence of user input (e.g., touch gestures, rotation of a rotatable input mechanism, and/or device movement such as a wrist raise movement) for at least a predetermined time period. For instance, computer system 600 transitions from the first mode to the second mode in response to detecting an absence of user input for a predetermined period of time (e.g., the user does not move computer system 600 beyond a threshold distance, velocity, and/or acceleration and/or the user does not provide inputs to computer system 600, such as touch inputs on display generation component 602 or activation of rotatable input mechanism 658). Additionally, computer system 600 transitions from the second mode to the first mode in response to detecting one or more user inputs, such as a wrist raise and/or a tap gesture. Accordingly, in some embodiments, computer system 600 displays, via display generation component 602, user interface 604 of FIG. 6A in response to one or more user inputs while computer system 600 is operating in the second mode.


At FIG. 6A, user interface 604 includes time indicator 606 indicating the first time of day (e.g., 10:09), first geometric region 608, and second geometric region 610. While user interface 604 includes first geometric region 608 and second geometric region 610, in some embodiments, user interface 604 includes one geometric region or more than two geometric regions. Time indicator 606 has first portion 606a (e.g., hour indicator; “10”) and second portion 606b (e.g., minute indicator; “09”). At FIG. 6A, first geometric region 608 includes first boundary 608a that intersects first portion 606a of time indicator 606 at a first position (e.g., through at least a portion of numeral “0”) and second boundary 608b that is positioned between first portion 606a and second portion 606b of time indicator 606. Similarly, second geometric region 610 includes first boundary 610a that intersects second portion of time indicator 606 at a first position (e.g., through portions of numerals “0” and “9”) and second boundary 610b that is positioned between first portion 606a and second portion 606b of time indicator 606.


First geometric region 608 includes a first color (e.g., represented by a first hatching style at FIG. 6A) and second geometric region 610 includes a second color, different from the first color (e.g., represented by a second hatching style at FIG. 6A). Additionally, time indicator 606 includes different colors on opposite sides of first boundary 608a of first geometric region 608 and first boundary 610a of second geometric region 610, respectively. At FIG. 6A, first portion 606a of time indicator 606 is separated into first segment 612 and second segment 614 by first boundary 608a. In particular, first segment 612 includes a part of first portion 606a that is on a first side of first boundary 608a (e.g., a part of first portion 606a that is outside of first geometric region 608), and second segment 614 includes a part of first portion 606a that is on a second side of first boundary 608a (e.g., a part of first portion 606a that is inside of and/or within first geometric region 608). First segment 612 includes the first color (e.g., the same color as first geometric region 608) and second segment 614 includes a third color (e.g., represented as black at FIG. 6A), different from the first color and the second color.


Similarly, at FIG. 6A, second portion 606b of time indicator 606 is separated into first segment 616 and second segment 618 by first boundary 610a. In particular, first segment 616 includes a part of second portion 606b that is on a first side of first boundary 610a (e.g., a part of second portion 606b that is outside of second geometric region 610), and second segment 618 includes a part of second portion 606b that is on a second side of first boundary 610a (e.g., a part of second portion 606b that is inside of and/or within second geometric region 610). First segment 616 includes the second color (e.g., the same color as second geometric region 610) and second segment 618 includes the third color, different from the first color and the second color (e.g., represented as black at FIG. 6A). While user interface 604 shown at FIG. 6A includes elements having three different colors (e.g., the first color, the second color, and the third color), user interface 604 can include any suitable number of colors, as discussed below with reference to FIGS. 6E and 6F. For instance, at FIG. 6A, background 619 of user interface 604 includes the third color (e.g., represented as black at FIG. 6A), which is the same color as second segment 614 of first portion 606a and second segment 618 of second portion 606b. In some embodiments, background 619 of user interface 604 includes a different color than second segment 614 and second segment 618 and/or a fourth color that is different from the first color, the second color, and the third color.


At FIG. 6A, first geometric region 608 includes corners 620a, 620b, 620c, and 620d, which are connected to one another by first boundary 608a, second boundary 608b, third boundary 608c, and fourth boundary 608d. Boundaries 608a, 608b, 608c, and 608d define first geometric region 608, as well as separate the segments of first portion 606a of time indicator 606 that include different colors. Similarly, second geometric region 610 includes corners 620e, 620f, 620g, and 620h, which are connected to one another via first boundary 610a, second boundary 610b, third boundary 610c, and fourth boundary 610d. Boundaries 610a, 610b, 610c, and 610d define second geometric region 610, as well as separate the segments of second portion 606b of time indicator 606 that include different colors.


In some embodiments, boundaries 608a, 608b, 608c, 608d, 610a, 610b, 610c, and/or 610d include two or more edges that cause boundaries 608a, 608b, 608c, 608d, 610a, 610b, 610c, and/or 610d to be non-straight lines (e.g., non-linear lines and/or a discontinuous contour extending between adjacent corners), as discussed in detail below with reference to FIG. 6B.


In addition, the sizes, positions, and/or locations of first geometric region 608 and second geometric region 610 are based on data of the user associated with computer system 600. For instance, computer system 600 collects, receives, and/or generates data and information associated with a user of computer system 600. Such data and information can include activity data (e.g., data corresponding to movement and/or workouts of the user of computer system 600), usage data (e.g., data corresponding to interactions of the user with computer system 600 and/or particular applications of computer system 600), calendar data (e.g., data corresponding to appointments of the user of computer system 600), notification data (e.g., data corresponding to messages and/or alerts associated with applications of computer system 600), and/or other data associated with one or more applications of computer system 600. In some embodiments, computer system 600 uses the data and information as a seed in an algorithm (e.g., a random or a pseudorandom algorithm) for determining the respective positions, sizes, and/or colors of first geometric region 608 and/or second geometric region 610. While the respective positions, sizes, and/or colors of first geometric region 608 and/or second geometric region 610 are based on data of a user associated with computer system 600, the user and/or others viewing display generation component 602 cannot determine the data based on the respective positions, sizes, and/or colors of first geometric region 608 and/or second geometric region 610.


Utilizing the data and/or information of computer system 600 to determine the sizes, positions, and/or colors of first geometric region 608 and second geometric region 610 enables computer system 600 to display, via display generation component 602, a different version of user interface 604 when compared to other computer systems that also display user interface 604. For instance, when the user of computer system 600 is in approximately the same location (e.g., determined via a position signal of computer system) at approximately the same time as another computer system (e.g., an external computer system that is also configured to display user interface 604), first geometric region 608 and second geometric region 610 include different sizes, positions, and/or colors when compared to a third geometric region and a fourth geometric region displayed by the other, different computer system. Thus, user interface 604 is unique and/or custom to the user of computer system 600 when compared to user interface 604 being displayed on another, external computer system, even when computer system 600 and the external computer system are located in approximately the same location at approximately the same time.


In some embodiments, at least one of boundaries 608a, 608b, 608c, and 608d, and/or at least one of boundaries 610a, 610b, 610c, and 610d are spaced apart from at least one of sides 602a, 602b, 602c, and/or 602d of display generation component 602. In such embodiments, first geometric region 608 and/or second geometric region 610 do not occupy the entire area of display generation component 602. For instance, at FIG. 6A, boundary 608a is spaced apart (e.g., by a first non-zero distance) from side 602a of display generation component 602 and boundary 608d is spaced apart (e.g., by a second non-zero distance) from side 602b of display generation component 602. Boundary 608b is spaced apart (e.g., by a third non-zero distance) from side 602c of display generation component 602, but is positioned adjacent to and/or abutting boundary 610b. Further, boundary 608c is positioned adjacent to and/or abutting side 602d of display generation component 602. Similarly, boundary 610a is spaced apart (e.g., by a fourth non-zero distance) from side 602c of display generation component 602. Boundary 610b is spaced apart (e.g., by a fifth non-zero distance) from side 602b of display generation component 602, but is positioned adjacent to and/or abutting boundary 608b. Further, boundary 610c is positioned adjacent to and/or abutting side 602d of display generation component 602 and boundary 610d is positioned adjacent to and/or abutting side 602a of display generation component 602. In some embodiments, one or more boundary 608a, 608b, 608c, and/or 608d of first geometric region 608 is spaced apart from a corresponding side 602a, 602b, 602c, and/or 602d of display generation component 602 and one or more boundary 610a, 610b, 610c, and/or 610d of second geometric region 610 is spaced apart from a corresponding side 602a, 602b, 602c, and/or 602d of display generation component 602.


Further, in some embodiments, first geometric region 608 and/or second geometric region 610 include a thickness (e.g., a distance between boundaries on opposite sides of a geometric region) that exceeds a predetermined thickness. For example, a distance between boundaries 608a and 608c and/or a distance between boundaries 608b and 608d exceeds a predetermined distance. Similarly, a distance between boundaries 610a and 610b and/or a distance between boundaries 610c and 610d exceeds the predetermined distance. As such, first geometric region 608 and second geometric region 610 are perceivable to a user of computer system 600 and maintain a substantially rectangular and/or substantially quadrilateral shape.


In some embodiments, first geometric region 608 and/or second geometric region 610 move, transition, and/or change over time (e.g., computer system 600 animates first geometric region 608 and/or second geometric region 610). In particular, first geometric region 608 and/or second geometric region 610 change size, location (e.g., on and/or with reference to display generation component 602), and/or color over time, such that a user can perceive the changes to first geometric region 608 and/or second geometric region 610 over a period of time (e.g., after continuously viewing user interface 604 for more than 5 seconds, more than 10 seconds, more than 20 seconds, more than 30 seconds, and/or more than 1 minute and/or after viewing user interface 604 upon a transition from the first mode to the second mode and/or a transition from the second mode to the first mode).


As set forth above, the size, position, and/or color of first geometric region 608 and/or second geometric region 610 can be based on data of a user associated with computer system 600. As such, the size, position, and/or color of first geometric region 608 and/or second geometric region 610 can change over time as computer system 600 accumulates (e.g., collects) and/or receives data. In addition, the size, position, and/or color of first geometric region 608 and second geometric region 610 can change over time based on a predetermined algorithm (e.g., a random or pseudorandom algorithm) that is not based on the data of computer system 600 and/or is partially based on the data of computer system 600.


At FIG. 6B, computer system 600 displays user interface 604 at a second time of day (e.g., 11:02) while computer system 600 operates in the second mode, such as an inactive mode, a sleep mode, and/or a low-power consumption mode. While operating in the second mode, computer system 600 displays user interface 604 at a brightness level that is less than a brightness level of the first mode (e.g., computer system 600 reduces the brightness level of display generation component 602 to reduce power consumption of computer system 600).


Time indicator 606 indicates the second time of day (e.g., 11:02), which is later than the first time of day indicated by time indicator 606 at FIG. 6A. As such, time has elapsed since computer system 600 displayed user interface 604 of FIG. 6A via display generation component 602. Accordingly, computer system 600 has adjusted the size and position of first geometric region 608 and second geometric region 610 to display third geometric region 628 and fourth geometric region 630. In particular, first boundary 608a of first geometric region 608 has moved in first direction 632 to form first boundary 628a of third geometric region 628. At FIG. 6B, third geometric region 628 encompasses the entire first portion 606a of time indicator 606 and first portion 606a of time indicator 606 is not separated into segments by first boundary 608a. Further, first boundary 628a of third geometric region 628 is different from first boundary 608a of first geometric region 608. In particular, first boundary 628a includes a different angle (e.g., with respect to display generation component 602), a different contour, and/or different edges (e.g., defined by control points) when compared to first boundary 608a. As set forth above, changes between first boundary 608a and first boundary 628a occur over time and can be based on the data of the user associated with computer system 600 (e.g., data collected between the first time of day (e.g., 10:09) and the second time of day (e.g., 11:02)).


More specifically, at FIG. 6B, first boundary 628a includes edges 622a and 622b, which cause first boundary 628a to not be a straight line, extending from corner 633a to corner 633b of third geometric region 628. In some embodiments, edges 622a and 622b, extend between corners 633a and 633b, as well as between one or more control points, such as control point 624a, positioned between corners 633a and 633b (e.g., boundary 640d includes multiple control points). Control point 624a may not be visible on display generation component 602 except when a beginning and/or end of edges 622a and 622b is perceivable and/or visible on display generation component 602. While edges 622a and 622b are described in detail with reference to first boundary 628a, any of the boundaries of first geometric region 608, second geometric region 610, third geometric region 628, and/or fourth geometric region 630 can include two or more edges and/or one or more control points that include similar characteristics to that of edges 622a and/or 622b and/or control point 624a.


In some embodiments, a position of control point 624a is positioned within a threshold distance from axis 626 (not displayed via display generation component 602) extending through corners 633a and 633b. Positioning control point 624a within the threshold distance from axis 626 enables each point formed by first boundary 628a to also be within the threshold distance from axis 626. As such, third geometric region 628 maintains a substantially quadrilateral-shape and/or substantially rectangular shape as a result of each point along boundaries 628a, 628b, 628c, and/or 628d being within the threshold distance from a respective axis. In contrast, positioning control point 624a (and/or other points along boundaries 628a, 628b, 628c, and/or 628d) further than a threshold distance from axis 626 can cause third geometric region 628 to appear to include more or less than four boundaries, thereby creating the appearance of a different shape (e.g., a non-quadrilateral or non-rectangular shape).


In addition, at FIG. 6B, fourth boundary 610d of second geometric region 610 has moved in second direction 634 (e.g., opposite first direction 632) to form fourth boundary 630d of fourth geometric region 630. Accordingly, a size of fourth geometric region 630 is less than a size of second geometric region 610 in FIG. 6A. As set forth above, changes to first geometric region 608 (e.g., a position and/or shape of first boundary 608a) and second geometric region 610 (e.g., a position and/or shape of first boundary 610a) can be based on data of computer system 600 and/or a predetermined algorithm that is not based on data of computer system 600.


At FIG. 6B, third geometric region 628 includes a fourth color (e.g., a color different than the first color, such as a first shade of grey) and fourth geometric region 630 includes a fifth color (e.g., a color different than the second color, such as a second shade of grey different from the first shade of grey). At FIG. 6B, third geometric region 628 includes the fourth color, which is different from the first color, and fourth geometric region 630 includes the fifth color, which is different from the second color. In some embodiments, third geometric region 628 includes the first color at a reduced brightness level as compared to first geometric region 608 displayed while computer system 600 operates in the first mode, and fourth geometric region 630 includes the second color at a reduced brightness level as compared to second geometric region 610 displayed, via display generation component 602, while computer system operates in the first mode. In some embodiments, the change in size, shape, and/or color of first geometric region 608 to third geometric region 628 and/or the change in size, shape, and/or color of second geometric region 610 to fourth geometric region 630 occur over time without computer system 600 transitioning between the first mode and the second mode.


At FIG. 6B, third geometric region 628 does not intersect first portion 606a of time indicator 606 (e.g., boundaries 628a, 628b, 628c, and/or 628d do not pass through any part of first portion 606a). Accordingly, the entire first portion 606a includes the third color (e.g., represented as black at FIG. 6B). First boundary 630a of fourth geometric region 630 intersects second portion 606b of time indicator 606 and separates second portion 606b of time indicator 606 into first segment 636 (e.g., a part of second portion 606b that is outside of fourth geometric region 630) and second segment 638 (e.g., a part of second portion 606b that is within and/or inside of fourth geometric region 630). At FIG. 6B, first segment 636 includes the fifth color, whereas second segment 638 and background 619 include the third color (e.g., represented as black at FIG. 6B).


At FIG. 6B, computer system 600 detects user input 650a (e.g., a tap input or a wrist raise gesture). In response to detecting user input 650a, computer system 600 transitions from the second mode (e.g., a low-power consumption mode) to the first mode (e.g., a normal operational mode), as shown at FIG. 6C. At FIG. 6C, computer system 600 displays user interface 604 at a third time of day (e.g., at the second time of day or a time of day that is moments after the second time of day). User interface 604 at the third time of day is substantially the same as user interface 604 at the second time of day (e.g., as shown at FIG. 6B) except that the colors of user interface 604 have changed as a result of the transition of computer system 600 from the second mode to the first mode. For example, at FIG. 6C, third geometric region 628 includes the first color (e.g., as represented by first hatching in FIG. 6C) and fourth geometric region 630 includes the second color (e.g., as represented by second hatching in FIG. 6C).


In addition, first portion 606a (e.g., an entire portion of first portion 606a) of time indicator 606 includes the third color and boundaries 628a, 628b, 628c, and 628d do not intersect first portion 606a of time indicator 606. Therefore, first portion 606a is not divided into segments 612 and 614 (e.g., as shown at FIG. 6A). At FIG. 6C, first boundary 610a intersects second portion 606b of time indicator 606, thereby dividing second portion 606b of time indicator 606 into first segment 636 (e.g., a part of second portion 606b that is outside of fourth geometric region 630) and second segment 638 (e.g., a part of second portion 606b that is within or inside of fourth geometric region 630). At FIG. 6C, first segment 636 includes the second color and second segment 638 includes the third color. First segment 636 is different from first segment 616 and second segment 638 is different from second segment 618. Thus, different parts of first portion 606a include the first color and the third color and different parts of second portion 606b include the second color and the third color as geometric regions 608 and 610 change in size and/or position over time to form geometric regions 628 and 630. In other words, boundaries of geometric regions change in size and/or position over time, which alters where the geometric regions intersect first portion 606a and second portion 606b of time indicator 606.


While third geometric region 628 includes the first color and fourth geometric region 620 includes the second color at FIG. 6C, in some embodiments, third geometric region 628 includes the second color and fourth geometric region 630 includes the first color. Accordingly, in response to detecting user input 650a, computer system 600 is configured to change and/or adjust the colors of user interface 604 between first portion 606a and second portion 606b of time indicator 606. In some embodiments, the colors of first geometric region 608 and second geometric region 610 switch, such that third geometric region 628 includes the same color as second geometric region 610 and fourth geometric region 630 includes the same color as first geometric region 608 (e.g., in response to time elapsing and/or in response to user input 650a). In some embodiments, the colors of third geometric region 628 and fourth geometric region 630 are different than the first color, the second color, the third color, the fourth color, and/or the fifth color (e.g., colors that were previously displayed in user interface 604 shown at FIGS. 6A and 6B).


At FIG. 6C, third geometric region 628 and fourth geometric region 630 are positioned at substantially the same location on display generation component 602 and include substantially the same size as third geometric region 628 and fourth geometric region 630 shown in FIG. 6B (e.g., third geometric region 628 and fourth geometric region 630 have changed in size by less than 10% from FIG. 6B to FIG. 6C and/or boundaries of third geometric region 628 and fourth geometric region 630 have moved a distance that is less than 20% of a length and/or width of display generation component 602 from FIG. 6B to FIG. 6C). Computer system 600 has not adjusted the positions and sizes of third geometric region 628 and fourth geometric region 630 (e.g., adjusted the positions and sizes to be visually perceivable by user of computer system 600) because a relatively short amount of time has elapsed between display of user interface 604 in FIG. 6B and display of user interface 604 in FIG. 6C (e.g., in response to user input 650a). Accordingly, computer system 600 maintains a relatively consistent size and/or shape of third geometric region 628 and fourth geometric region 630 as shown in FIGS. 6B and 6C, which can prevent distractions to the user resulting from large and relatively quick changes to third geometric region 628 and fourth geometric region 630.


At FIG. 6D, computer system 600 displays user interface 604 at a fourth time of day (e.g., 3:16), different from (e.g., after) the first time (e.g., 10:09), the second time (e.g., 11:02), and the third time. At FIG. 6D, computer system 600 operates in the first mode and user interface 604 includes time indicator 606, fifth geometric region 640 and sixth geometric region 642. Because time has elapsed from the third time of day when computer system 600 displayed user interface 604, computer system 600 adjusts a size and/or position of third geometric region 628 to generate fifth geometric region 640 and adjusts a size and/or position of fourth geometric region 630 to generate sixth geometric region 642. As set forth above, changes to the sizes and/or positions of geometric regions can be based on data of a user associated with computer system 600 (e.g., a seed in a random or pseudorandom algorithm) and/or based on a predetermined algorithm that is not based on the data of the user associated with computer system 600.


At FIG. 6D, first boundary 640a of fifth geometric region 640 is different from first boundary 608a of first geometric region 608 and first boundary 628a of third geometric region 628. In particular, first boundary 640a has moved further in first direction 632 as compared to first boundary 628a toward edge 602a of display generation component 602. At FIG. 6D, first boundary 640a is still spaced apart (e.g., by a non-zero distance) from edge 602a. In addition, third boundary 642c and fourth boundary 642d of sixth geometric region 642 have moved in first direction 632 as compared to third boundary 630c and fourth boundary 630d of fourth geometric region 630. Further still, first boundary 642a of sixth geometric region 642 has moved in third direction 643 (e.g., a downward direction toward edge 602c of display generation component 602) as compared to first boundary 630a of fourth geometric region 630.


At FIG. 6D, boundaries 640a, 640b, 640c, and 640d of fifth geometric region 640 do not intersect first portion 606a of time indicator 606, and thus, first portion 606a of time indicator 606 entirely includes the third color (e.g., represented as black at FIG. 6D). First boundary 642a of sixth geometric region 642 intersects second portion 606b of time indicator 606 and separates second portion 606b of time indicator 606 into first segment 644 (e.g., a part of second portion 606b that is outside of sixth geometric region 642) and second segment 646 (e.g., a part of second portion 606b that is within and/or inside of sixth geometric region 642). Accordingly, first segment 644 includes the second color and second segment 646 includes the third color. First segment 644 and second segment 646 are different from first segment 616 and second segment 628, as well as different from first segment 636 and second segment 638. Thus, as noted above, different parts of time indicator 606 can include different colors as time elapses.


At FIG. 6D, computer system 600 detects user input 650b (e.g., a tap and hold gesture) on user interface 604. In response to detecting user input 650b, computer system 600 displays, via display generation component 602, editing user interface 648, as shown at FIG. 6E. At FIG. 6E, editing user interface 648 enables customization of a color scheme of user interface 604. As such, editing user interface 648 includes color editing indicator 652a and complication editing indicator 652b. Color editing indicator 652a includes a visual indication (e.g., bolded text and/or highlighting) that editing user interface 648 enables customization of the color scheme of user interface 604. In some embodiments, the visual indication is an outline (e.g., a box) around color editing indicator 652a and/or color editing indicator 652a displayed in a different color than complication editing indicator 652b.


Editing user interface 648 further includes user interface preview 654 (e.g., a preview of the selected color scheme on user interface 604) and color scheme indicator 656 that indicates the currently selected color scheme for user interface 604 (e.g., “Color Scheme 1”). Computer system 600 is configured to adjust the color scheme for user interface 604 in response to detecting user input when color editing indicator 652a is selected (e.g., visually emphasized). As set forth below, in response to detecting the user input, computer system 600 updates user interface preview 654 and color scheme indicator 656 to reflect the currently selected color scheme.


In some embodiments, the color schemes available for user interface 604 include predetermined sets of colors that are applied to geometric regions, time indicator 606, background 619, and/or other graphical user interface objects (e.g., complications) included on user interface 604. For instance, a first color scheme (e.g., the currently selected color scheme; “Color Scheme 1”) includes the first color (e.g., red or green), the second color (e.g., red or green), and the third color (e.g., black), as described above with reference to FIGS. 6A-6D. In some embodiments, the first color scheme includes a first set of colors (e.g., the first color, the second color, and the third color) for user interface 604 when computer system 600 operates in the first mode and a second set of colors (e.g., the third color, the fourth color, and the fifth color) for user interface 604 when computer system 600 operates in the second mode. As such, selection of a color scheme may also include a default set of colors for user interface 604 while computer system 600 operates in the second mode. The default set of colors for user interface 604 while computer system 600 operates in the second mode may include a greyscale color scheme, such that the third color is black, the fourth color is a first shade of grey, and the fifth color is a second shade of grey, different from the first shade of grey. In some embodiments, the greyscale color scheme may also be available for selection via editing user interface 648.


At FIG. 6E, computer system 600 detects user input 650c (e.g., rotational input on rotatable input mechanism 658 and/or a swipe gesture on editing user interface 648). In response to detecting user input 650c, computer system 600 updates user interface preview 654 and color scheme indicator 656, as shown at FIG. 6F. At FIG. 6F, computer system 600 updates user interface preview 654 to display, via display generation component 602, a sixth color within second segment 614 of first portion 606a of time indicator 606. In addition, computer system 600 updates color scheme indicator 656 to indicate that a second color scheme (e.g., “Color Scheme 2”) is the currently selected color scheme for user interface 604. In some embodiments, the second color scheme for user interface 604 includes a set of four colors (e.g., the first color, the second color, the third color, and the sixth color), where one of the four colors is an accent color and/or a highlight color (e.g., yellow). For example, the sixth color displayed in second segment 614 of first portion 606a of time indicator 606 is not utilized as the color for any other graphical user interface objects of user interface 604. The accent and/or highlight color can facilitate a user's ability to determine relevant information on user interface (e.g., the current time of day).


While FIGS. 6E and 6F provide examples for two different color schemes for user interface 604, editing user interface 648 may include more than two color schemes for user interface 604 that are available for selection by a user of computer system 600.


At FIG. 6F, computer system 600 detects user input 650d (e.g., a left swipe gesture) on editing user interface 648. In response to detecting user input 650d, computer system 600 displays editing user interface 660, as shown at FIG. 6G. At FIG. 6G, editing user interface 660 is configured to enable computer system 600 to add, edit, and/or customize complications (e.g., graphical user interface objects associated with a respective application of computer system 600) included on user interface 604. Editing user interface 660 includes color editing indicator 652a and complication editing indicator 652b. Complication editing indicator 652b includes a visual indication (e.g., bold text and/or highlighting) that editing user interface 660 enables customization of the complications included on user interface 604. In some embodiments, the visual indication is an outline (e.g., a box) around complication editing indicator 652b and/or complication editing indicator 652b is displayed in a different color than color editing indicator 652a. In addition, computer system 600 moves color editing indicator 652a in conjunction with user input 650d (e.g., left on display generation component 602) to further indicate that computer system 600 is configured to edit complications on user interface 604, as opposed to editing the color scheme of user interface 604.


In some embodiments, a complication refers to any watch face feature other than those used to indicate time (e.g., clock hands or hour/minute/seconds indications). In some embodiments, complications provide data obtained from an application. In some embodiments, a complication includes an affordance that when selected launches a corresponding application. In some embodiments, a complication is displayed at a fixed, predefined location on the display. In some embodiments, complications occupy respective locations at particular regions of a watch face (e.g., lower-right, lower-left, upper-right, and/or upper-left).


Editing user interface 660 further includes user interface preview 662, first complication indicator 664, and second complication indicator 666. At FIG. 6G, user interface preview 662 includes the second color scheme selected at FIG. 6F, thereby indicating the current color scheme of user interface 604. First complication indicator 664 and second complication indicator 666 correspond to locations of respective complications that can be included on user interface 604. At FIG. 6F, first complication indicator 664 and second complication indicator 666 are displayed as blank, thereby indicating that no complications are selected to be included on user interface 604. Although editing user interface 660 includes first complication indicator 664 and second complication indicator 666, in some embodiments, editing user interface 660 includes a single complication indicator or more than two complication indicators.


Computer system 600 is configured to add, edit, and/or customize complications in response to user input directed to first complication indicator 664 and/or second complication indicator 666. At FIG. 6G, computer system 600 detects user input 650e (e.g., a tap gesture) on first complication indicator 664. In response to detecting user input 650e on first complication indicator 664, computer system 600 provides a visual indicator (e.g., a bold outline of first complication indicator 664 and/or causes first complication indicator 664 to include a color different from other graphical user interface objects of editing user interface 660) to indicate that first complication indicator 664 is selected for editing. Computer system 600 can detect user input 650f (e.g., a tap gesture) on second complication indicator 666. In response to detecting user input 650f on second complication indicator 666, computer system 600 provides an indicator (e.g., a bold outline of second complication indicator 666 and/or causes second complication indicator 666 to include a color different from other graphical user interface objects of editing user interface 660) to indicate that second complication indicator 666 is selected for editing.


After detecting user input 650e and/or 650f, computer system 600 detects user input 650g (e.g., rotational input on rotatable input mechanism 658). In response to detecting user input 650g, computer system 600 updates display of first complication indicator 664 and/or second complication indicator 666 (e.g., based on whether first complication indicator 664 is selected for editing via user input 650e or second complication indicator 666 is selected for editing via user input 650f). In particular, computer system 600 displays, via display generation component 602, an indication (e.g., text, a symbol, and/or a preview of a complication) of a selected complication to be included on user interface 604 at a location corresponding to first complication indicator 664 and/or second complication indicator 666.


In some embodiments, instead of updating first complication indicator 664 and/or second complication indicator 666 in response to user input 650g, computer system 600 ceases to display (e.g., temporarily ceases to display) editing user interface 660 and displays, via display generation component 602, a complication selection user interface in response to user input 650e and/or 650f, respectively. In some embodiments, complication selection user interface includes a menu and/or list of complications available for selection to be displayed on user interface 604 at a location corresponding to first complication indicator 664. In some embodiments, complication selection user interface is scrollable, such that computer system 600 displays additional complications available for selection in response to user input (e.g., a swipe gesture and/or a rotation input on rotatable input mechanism 658).


At FIG. 6H, computer system 600 displays, via display generation component 602, editing user interface 660 including updated first complication indicator 664 and updated second complication indicator 666 (e.g., updated in response to user input 650g and/or selection of a complication from complication selection user interface). At FIG. 6H, first complication indicator 664 includes indicator 668 (e.g., a graphical user interface object of a stopwatch) corresponding to a complication associated with a stopwatch application of computer system 600. Second complication indicator 666 includes indicator 670 (e.g., the text “72° Partly Cloudy”) corresponding to a complication associated with a weather application of computer system 600. In some embodiments, first complication indicator 664 and second complication indicator 666 can be updated by computer system 600 to include indicators for any available complication associated with any suitable application of computer system.


In some embodiments, a first complication associated with first complication indicator 664 includes the first color and/or the same color as fifth geometric region (e.g., a geometric region displayed closest to the first complication on user interface 604). Similarly, a second complication associated with second complication indicator 666 includes the second color and/or the same color as sixth geometric region (e.g., a geometric region displayed closest to second complication on user interface 604). Therefore, the color scheme selected in editing user interface 648 also determines a color of complications displayed on user interface 604. In some embodiments, the first complication associated with first complication indicator 664 and the second complication associated with second complication indicator 666 include default colors (e.g., colors based on the application of computer system 600 corresponding to the respective complication). In some embodiments, the first complication associated with first complication indicator 664 and the second complication associated with second complication indicator 666 include the same color, which is based on the selected color scheme in editing use interface 648.


At FIG. 6H, computer system 600 detects user input 650h (e.g., a tap and/or press gesture on rotatable input mechanism 658) while displaying editing user interface 660. In response to detecting user input 650h, computer system 600 displays user interface 604 at a fifth time (e.g., the fourth time (e.g., 3:16) or moments after the fourth time), as shown at FIG. 6I. At FIG. 6I, user interface 604 includes the second color scheme selected at FIG. 6F (e.g., as indicated by first portion 606a of time indicator 606 having the sixth color). In addition, user interface 604 includes first complication 672 and second complication 674 corresponding to updated first complication indicator 664 and updated second complication indicator 666, respectively, of FIG. 6H. Accordingly, computer system 600 updates user interface 600 based on user inputs (e.g., user inputs 650c, 650e, 650f, and/or 650g) detected while editing user interface 648 and/or editing user interface 660 are displayed by computer system 600, via display generation component 660.


At FIG. 6I, fifth geometric region 640 does not visually overlap with, block, and/or otherwise obstruct display of first complication 672. Similarly, sixth geometric region 642 does not overlap with, block, and/or otherwise obstruct display of second complication 674. Computer system 600 may determine and a size and/or position of geometric regions of user interface 604 to ensure that the geometric regions do not visually overlap with, block, and/or otherwise obstruct display of first complication 672 and second complication 674. In some embodiments, computer system 600 determines a size and/or position of complications 672 and/or 674 to ensure that complications 672 and/or 674 do not visually overlap with, block, and/or otherwise obstruct display of the geometric regions. As such, a user can easily view, identify, and/or select first complication 672 and second complication 674 to obtain and/or access information associated with first complication 672 and second complication 674.



FIGS. 6J and 6K illustrate user interface 604 displayed on different computer systems from computer system 600. For instance, computer system 600 is a wearable device, such as a smart watch. At FIG. 6J, user interface 604 is displayed by display generation component 676 of computer system 678. Computer system 678 is a portable electronic device, such as a smart phone. User interface 604 is configured to be a displayed, via display generation component 676, as a lock screen, a wallpaper, and/or a background of computer system 678.


At FIG. 6J, user interface 604 includes time indicator 680, seventh geometric region 682, eighth geometric region 684, and ninth geometric region 686. At FIG. 6J, seventh geometric region 682 includes the first color, eighth geometric region 684 includes the second color, and ninth geometric region 686 includes the second color. In addition, user interface 604 include background 688 having the third color. At FIG. 6J, seventh geometric region 682 does not intersect with time indicator 680, and thus time indicator 680 includes the third color. In some embodiments, one or more portions of time indicator 680 are configured to include the first color, the second color, and/or a color different from the third color when a geometric region (e.g., the seventh geometric region 682, the eighth geometric region 684, and/or the ninth geometric region 686) intersects time indicator 680.


In some embodiments, computer system 678 is configured to adjust a size, position, and/or color of seventh geometric region 682, eighth geometric region 684, and/or ninth geometric region 686 over time.


At FIG. 6K, user interface 604 is displayed by display generation component 690 of computer system 691. Computer system 691 is a portable electronic device, such as a laptop computer. User interface 604 is configured to be a displayed, via display generation component 690, as a lock screen, a wallpaper, a background, and/or a screen saver of computer system 691.


At FIG. 6K, user interface 604 includes time indicator 692, tenth geometric region 693, eleventh geometric region 694, and twelfth geometric region 695. At FIG. 6K, tenth geometric region 693 includes the first color, eleventh geometric region 694 includes the second color, and twelfth geometric region 695 includes the second color. In addition, user interface 604 include background 696 having the third color. At FIG. 6K, tenth geometric region 693 intersects with first portion 697 of time indicator 694. First portion 697 of time indicator 692 is, therefore, divided into first segment 697a (e.g., a part of first portion 697 outside of tenth geometric region 693) and second segment 697b (e.g., a part of first portion 697 within and/or inside of tenth geometric region 693). Similar to user interface 604 displayed on computer system 600, as set forth above, first segment 697a includes the first color and second segment 697b includes the third color.


Further, eleventh geometric region 694 intersects with second portion 698 of time indicator 694. Second portion 698 of time indicator 692 is, therefore, divided into first segment 698a (e.g., a part of second portion 698 outside of eleventh geometric region 694) and second segment 698b (e.g., a part of second portion 698 within and/or inside of eleventh geometric region 694). Similar to user interface 604 displayed on computer system 600, as set forth above, first segment 698a includes the second color and second segment 698b includes the third color.


In some embodiments, computer system 691 is configured to adjust a size, position, and/or color of tenth geometric region 693, eleventh geometric region 694, and/or twelfth geometric region 695 over time.



FIGS. 7A-7D is a flow diagram illustrating a method for displaying a dynamic user interface having an indication of time using an electronic device in accordance with some embodiments. Method 700 is performed at a computer system (e.g., 100, 300, 500) with a display generation component. Some operations in method 700 are, optionally, combined, the orders of some operations are, optionally, changed, and some operations are, optionally, omitted.


As described below, method 700 provides an intuitive way for displaying a dynamic user interface having an indication of time. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for perceiving the passage time and/or creating a unique user interface, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to perceive the passage of time and/or incorporating a unique user interface faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.


Computer system (e.g., 600, 678, and/or 691) (e.g., an electronic device; a smart device, such as a smartphone or a smartwatch; a mobile device; a wearable device) that is in communication with a display generation component, receives (702) a first request (e.g., 650a) (e.g., a tap gesture and/or a wrist raise) to display an indication of time (e.g., 606) (e.g., a digital clock having an hour indicator and a minute indicator).


Computer system (e.g., 600, 678, and/or 691), in response to receiving the first request to display the indication of time, displays (704), via the display generation component (e.g., 602, 676, and/or 690), the indication of time (e.g., 606) and one or more first geometric regions (e.g., 608 and/or 610) (e.g., one or more substantially rectangular regions) that intersect the indication of time (e.g., 606) (e.g., a first edge of a first geometric region of the one or more first geometric regions intersects a first portion of the indication of time (e.g., the hour indicator, one digit of the hour indicator, and/or two digits of the hour indicator), a second edge of a second geometric region of the one or more first geometric regions intersects a second portion of the indication of time (e.g., the minute indicator, one digit of the minute indicator, and/or two digits of the minute indicator), and/or a third edge of the first geometric region or the second geometric region separates the first portion and the second portion of the indication of time (e.g., the third edge is positioned between the hour indicator and the minute indicator)). On a first side of a boundary (e.g., 608a and/or 610a) of the one or more first geometric regions (e.g., 608 and/or 610) (e.g., a boundary formed by an edge of a geometric region of the one or more geometric regions), the indication of time (e.g., 612 and/or 616) (e.g., a predetermined portion of the indication of time such as an outer portion or an interior portion, or all of the indication of time) (e.g., the first portion of the indication of time (e.g., the hour indicator) and/or a first segment of the first portion of the indication of time) includes a first color (e.g., the first portion of the time indicator (e.g., the hour indicator) at least partially includes the first color) (e.g., the first portion of the time indicator is separated into a first segment and a second segment by the edge of the geometric region of the one or more geometric regions and the first segment includes the first color (e.g., green, red, and/or yellow)), and on a second side of the boundary (e.g., 608a and/or 610a) of the one or more first geometric regions (e.g., 608 and/or 610), the indication of time (e.g., 614 and/or 618) (e.g., a predetermined portion of the indication of time such as an outer portion or an interior portion, or all of the indication of time) (e.g., the second portion of the indication of time (e.g., the minute indicator) and/or a second segment of the indication of time) includes a second color different from the first color (e.g., the second portion of the time indicator (e.g., the minute indicator) at least partially includes the second color) (e.g., the second segment of the first portion of the time indicator includes the second color (e.g., black)).


After displaying the indication of time and the one or more first geometric regions (e.g., 608 and/or 610) (e.g., that were displayed in response to receiving the first request to display the indication of time), computer system (e.g., 600, 678, and/or 691) receives (706) a second request (e.g., 650a) (e.g., a tap gesture and/or a wrist raise) to display the indication of time (e.g., 606) (e.g., the digital clock having the hour indicator and the minute indicator).


Computer system (e.g., 600, 678, and/or 691), in response to receiving the second request to display the indication of time, displays (708), via the display generation component, the indication of time (e.g., 606) and one or more second geometric regions (e.g., 628, 630, 640, and/or 642) (e.g., one or more substantially rectangular regions that are different from the one or more first geometric regions) that intersect the indication of time (e.g., 606) (e.g., a fourth edge of a third geometric region of the one or more second geometric regions intersects the first portion of the indication of time (e.g., the hour indicator, one digit of the hour indicator, and/or two digits of the hour indicator), a fifth edge of a fourth geometric region of the one or more second geometric regions intersects the second portion of the indication of time (e.g., the minute indicator, one digit of the minute indicator, and/or two digits of the minute indicator), and/or a sixth edge of the third geometric region or the fourth geometric region separates/intersects the first portion and the second portion of the indication of time (e.g., the third edge is positioned between the hour indicator and the minute indicator)). The one or more second geometric regions (e.g., 628, 630, 640, and/or 642) are different from the one or more first geometric regions (e.g., 608 and/or 610) (e.g., the one or more second geometric regions include a different size, shape, position (e.g., with respect to the indication of time), and/or color than the one or more first geometric regions). On a first side of a boundary (e.g., 630a and/or 642a) of the one or more second geometric regions (e.g., 628, 630, 640, and/or 642) (e.g., a boundary formed by an edge of a geometric region of the one or more geometric regions), the indication of time (e.g., 636 and/or 644) (e.g., a predetermined portion of the indication of time such as an outer portion or an interior portion, or all of the indication of time) (e.g., the first portion of the indication of time (e.g., the hour indicator) and/or a first segment of the first portion of the indication of time) includes a third color (e.g., the first color, the second color, or a third color different from the first color and the second color) (e.g., the first portion of the time indicator (e.g., the hour indicator) at least partially includes the third color) (e.g., the first portion of the time indicator is separated into a first segment and a second segment by the edge of the geometric region of the one or more geometric regions and the first segment includes the third color (e.g., green, red, and/or yellow)), and on a second side of the boundary (e.g., 630a and/or 642a) of the one or more second geometric regions (e.g., 628, 630, 640, and/or 642), the indication of time (e.g., 638 and/or 646) (e.g., a predetermined portion of the indication of time such as an outer portion or an interior portion, or all of the indication of time) (e.g., the second portion of the indication of time (e.g., the minute indicator) and/or a second segment of the indication of time) includes a fourth color different from the third color (e.g., the first color, the second color, or a fourth color different from the third color) (e.g., the second portion of the time indicator (e.g., the minute indicator) at least partially includes the fourth color) (e.g., the second segment of the first portion of the time indicator includes the fourth color (e.g., black)).


In some embodiments, the one or more first geometric regions shift, move, and/or transition to cause display of the one or more second geometric regions. In other words, the one or more first geometric regions can shrink, grow, move, adjust in color, adjust in shape (e.g., an angle of one or more edges can be changed), and/or otherwise change appearance to cause a transition between the one or more first geometric regions to the one or more second geometric regions. In some embodiments, the transition between display of the one or more first geometric regions to display of the one or more second geometric regions occurs (e.g., is displayed) during a low power state of the computer system. In some embodiments, the transition between display of the one or more first geometric regions to display of the one or more second geometric regions occurs (e.g., is not displayed) when an application of the computer system is active on the display generation component of the computer system and the indication of time is not being displayed.


Displaying one or more first geometric regions in response to a first request to display an indication of time and displaying one or more second geometric regions, different from the one or more first geometric regions, in response to a second request to display an indication of time provides the user with visual feedback associated with the passage of time. In addition, displaying one or more first geometric regions in response to a first request to display an indication of time and displaying one or more second geometric regions, different from the one or more first geometric regions, in response to a second request to display an indication of time provides a unique watch face that is customized to the user without requiring multiple inputs and navigation through menus and settings user interfaces, thereby reducing the number of inputs to the computer system. Providing improved visual feedback to the user and reducing the number of inputs enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.


In some embodiments, the one or more first geometric regions (e.g., 608 and/or 610) include a first geometric region (e.g., 608) and a second geometric region (e.g., 610) (e.g., different from the first geometric region) and the one or more second geometric regions (e.g., 628, 630, 640, and/or 642) include a third geometric region (e.g., 628 and/or 640) (e.g., a modified (e.g., different size, different shape, and/or different color) version of the first geometric region) and a fourth geometric region (e.g., 630 and/or 642) (e.g., different from the third geometric region; a modified (e.g., different size, different shape, and/or different color) version of the second geometric region). Computer system (e.g., 600, 678, and/or 691), in response to receiving the first request (e.g., 650a) to display the indication of time (e.g., 606), concurrently displays (710), via the display generation component, the indication of time (e.g., 606), the first geometric region (e.g., 608), wherein the first geometric region (e.g., 608) intersects a first portion (e.g., 606a) (e.g., an hour indicator or portion) of the indication of time (e.g., 606), and the second geometric region (e.g., 610), wherein the second geometric region (e.g., 610) intersects a second portion (e.g., 606b) (e.g., a minute indicator or portion; a different portion) of the indication of time (e.g., 606). Computer system (e.g., 600, 678, and/or 691), in response to receiving the second request (e.g., 650a) to display the indication of time (e.g., 606), concurrently displays (712), via the display generation component, the indication of time (e.g., 606); the third geometric region (e.g., 628 and/or 640), wherein the third geometric region (e.g., 628 and/or 640) intersects the first portion (e.g., 606a) (e.g., an hour indicator or portion) of the indication of time (e.g., 606) (e.g., at a same or different position than the first geometric region), and the fourth geometric region (e.g., 630 and/or 642), wherein the fourth geometric region (e.g., 630 and/or 642) intersects the second portion (e.g., 606b) (e.g., a minute indicator or portion) of the indication of time (e.g., 606) (e.g., at a same or different position than the second geometric region).


In some embodiments, the characteristics (e.g., shape, color, boundary formed by, and/or size) of the one or more first geometric regions and the characteristics (e.g., shape, color, boundary formed by, and/or size) of the one or more second geometric regions can also apply to two or more first geometric regions and two or more second geometric regions, respectively. In other words, two or more geometric regions displayed concurrently can intersect different portions of the time indicator, thereby creating multiple boundaries with different portions of the time indicator having different colors on opposite sides of the respective boundary. In such cases, for each of one or more geometric regions, the time indicator includes different colors on opposite sides of a boundary formed by a geometric region intersecting a respective portion of the time indicator.


Displaying a first geometric region and a second geometric region in response to a first request to display an indication of time and displaying a third geometric region and a fourth geometric region, different from the first geometric region and the second geometric region, in response to a second request to display an indication of time provides the user with visual feedback related to the passage of time. In addition, displaying a first geometric region and a second geometric region in response to a first request to display an indication of time and displaying a third geometric region and a fourth geometric region, different from the first geometric region and the second geometric region, in response to a second request to display an indication of time provides a unique watch face is customized to the user without requiring multiple inputs and navigation through menus and settings user interfaces, thereby reducing the number of inputs to the computer system. Providing improved visual feedback to the user and reducing the number of inputs enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.


In some embodiments, computer system (e.g., 600, 678, and/or 691) is in communication with one or more input devices (e.g., 602 and/or 658). Receiving the first request (e.g., 650a) to display the indication of time (e.g., 606) includes computer system (e.g., 600, 678, and/or 691) receiving, via the one or more input devices (e.g., 602 and/or 658), a tap gesture or a wrist raise gesture (e.g., a tap gesture or wrist raise gesture detected by the computer system that causes the computer system to transition between a first mode of operation (e.g., an increased refresh rate mode, an increased visibility mode, a high power mode and/or a normal mode) and a second mode of operation (e.g., a low power mode and/or a dimmed mode)). Receiving the second request (e.g., 650a) to display the indication of time (e.g., 606) includes computer system (e.g., 600, 678, and/or 691) receiving, via the one or more input devices (e.g., 602 and/or 658), a tap gesture or a wrist raise gesture.


Displaying the indication of time in response to a tap gesture or wrist raise gesture enables the user to view and/or access the indication of time using a small number of inputs. Reducing the number of inputs needed to perform an operation enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.


In some embodiments, the boundary (e.g., 608a and/or 610a) of the one or more first geometric regions (e.g., 608 and/or 610) intersects a third portion (e.g., 606a and/or 606b) (e.g., the hour indicator and/or the minute indicator) of the indication of time (e.g., 606) at a first position (e.g., one or more positions defined by edges (e.g., two or more straight and/or curved lines) forming the boundary) and the boundary (e.g., 630a and/or 642a) of the one or more second geometric regions (e.g., 628, 630, 640, and/or 642) intersects the third portion (e.g., 606a and/or 606b) of the indication of time (e.g., 606) at a second position (e.g., one or more positions defined by edges (e.g., two or more straight and/or curved lines) forming the boundary), different from the first position, such that a first segment (e.g., 612, 616, 636, and/or 644) (e.g., a portion of the indication of time having the first color) of the third portion (e.g., 606a and/or 606b) of the indication of time (e.g., 606) includes the first color and a second segment (e.g., 614, 618, 638, and/or 646) (e.g., a portion of the indication of time having the third color), different from the first segment (e.g., 612 and/or 616), of the third portion (e.g., 606a and/or 606b) of the indication of time (e.g., 606) includes the third color (e.g., where the first color and the third color are the same, such that the color on the first side of the boundary of the one or more first geometric regions and the color on the first side of the boundary of the one or more second geometric regions is the same and/or is maintained, but the position of the boundary has changed, in response to receiving the second request to display the indication of time).


In some embodiments, different portions of the time indicator include different colors after receiving the first request to display the indication of time and the second request to display the indication of time. Thus, since the indication of time is separated into different portions after receiving the first request to display the indication of time as compared to after receiving the second request to display the indication of time, the portions of the indication of time that have particular colors are different at different times.


Displaying different portions of the indication of time as having the first color and the third color provides the user with visual feedback related to the passage of time. In addition, displaying different portions of the indication of time as having the first color and the third color provides a unique watch face that is customized to the user without requiring multiple inputs and navigation through menus and settings user interfaces, thereby reducing the number of inputs to the computer system. Providing improved visual feedback to the user and reducing the number of inputs enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.


In some embodiments, the boundary (e.g., 608b and/or 610b) of the one or more first geometric regions (e.g., 608 and/or 610) intersects the indication of time (e.g., 606) between a fourth portion (e.g., 606a) (e.g., the hour indicator) of the indication of time (e.g., 606) and a fifth portion (e.g., 606b) (e.g., the minute indicator) of the indication of time (e.g., 606) and the boundary (e.g., 628b, 630b, 640b, and/or 642b) of the one or more second geometric regions (e.g., 628, 630, 640, and/or 642) intersects the indication of time (e.g., 606) between the fourth portion (e.g., 606a) of the indication of time (e.g., 606) and the fifth portion (e.g., 606b) of the indication of time (e.g., 606). The first color is the same as the fourth color (e.g., the color on the first side of the boundary of the one or more first geometric regions and the color on the second side of the boundary of the one or more second geometric regions are the same, such that the color switches between sides of the boundaries in response to receiving the second request to display the indication of time) and the second color is the same as the third color (e.g., the color on the second side of the boundary of the one or more first geometric regions and the color on the first side of the boundary of the one or more second geometric regions are the same, such that the color switches between sides of the boundaries in response to receiving the second request to display the indication of time).


Displaying different colors on opposite sides of the boundary at different times provides the user with visual feedback related to the passage of time. In addition, displaying different colors on opposite sides of the boundary at different times provides a unique watch face that is customized to the user without requiring multiple inputs and navigation through menus and settings user interfaces, thereby reducing the number of inputs to the computer system. Providing improved visual feedback to the user and reducing the number of inputs enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.


In some embodiments, computer system (e.g., 600, 678, and/or 691), prior to receiving the second request (e.g., 650a) to display the indication of time (e.g., 606), displays (714), via the display generation component, an animation that includes the one or more first geometric regions (e.g., 608 and/or 610) changing size or shape (e.g., the one or more first geometric regions move over time on the display generation component before receiving the second request to display the indication of time and/or the one or more first geometric regions change shape, size, and/or color over time on the display generation component before receiving the second request to display the indication of time).


Displaying an animation that includes the one or more first geometric regions changing size or shape provides the user with visual feedback related to the passage of time and provides an appealing user interface for the user to view. In addition, displaying an animation that includes the one or more first geometric regions changing size or shape provides a unique watch face that is customized to the user without requiring multiple inputs and navigation through menus and settings user interfaces, thereby reducing the number of inputs to the computer system. Providing improved visual feedback to the user and reducing the number of inputs enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.


In some embodiments, a geometric region (e.g., 608) of the one or more first geometric regions (e.g., 608 and/or 610) includes a first corner (620a) (e.g., a first vertex), a second corner (e.g., 620b) (e.g., a second vertex), a third corner (e.g., 620c) (e.g., a third vertex), and a fourth corner (e.g., 620d) (e.g., a fourth vertex) connected to one another by a first boundary (e.g., 608a) (e.g., a series of edges (e.g., straight lines and/or curved lines) that extend between one or more control points between the first corner and the second corner, where a first edge and a second edge begin and/or end at the first corner and the second corner, respectively), a second boundary (e.g., 608b) (e.g., a series of edges (e.g., straight lines and/or curved lines) that extend between one or more control points between the second corner and the third corner, where a first edge and a second edge begin and/or end at the second corner and the third corner, respectively), a third boundary (e.g., 608c) (e.g., a series of edges (e.g., straight lines and/or curved) that extend between one or more control points between the third corner and the fourth corner, where a first edge and a second edge begin and/or end at the third corner and the fourth corner, respectively), and a fourth boundary (e.g., 608d) (e.g., a series of edges (e.g., straight lines and/or curved lines) that extend between one or more control points between the first corner and the fourth corner, where a first edge and a second edge begin and/or end at the first corner and the fourth corner, respectively) of the geometric region (e.g., 608) (e.g., the geometric region includes four boundaries connecting four vertices (e.g., corners) to form a substantially rectangular shape and/or a substantially quadrilateral shape). The first boundary (e.g., 608a) connects the first corner (e.g., 620a) and the second corner (e.g., 620b), and wherein a distance (e.g., a smallest distance measured from a point forming the first boundary and the axis extending between the first corner and the second corner) between each point forming the first boundary (e.g., 608a) (e.g., the first boundary includes two or more edges that extend between control points between the first corner and the second corner, such that the first boundary travels along a non-linear path between the first corner and the second corner) and an axis (e.g., 626) (e.g., a linear axis or line that is not displayed (e.g., an imaginary line)) extending between the first corner (e.g., 620a) and the second corner (e.g., 620b) is less than a threshold distance (e.g., a threshold distance that enables the geometric region to visually appear as being a substantially rectangular and/or substantially quadrilateral shape).


In some embodiments, the geometric region includes four corners connected by four boundaries, where the one or more of the four boundaries are not straight lines. The boundaries are formed by two or more edges (e.g., straight lines and/or curved lines) that extend between control points (e.g., points that are not displayed via the display generation component) positioned between the two respective corners of the geometric region. Each of the control points and the points formed along the edges of the boundaries are positioned within the threshold distance from an axis (e.g., a linear line that is not displayed via the display generation component) extending between the respective corners of the geometric region. Maintaining each point formed by the edges of a respective boundary within the threshold distance from the axis enables the geometric region to appear as having a substantially rectangular and/or a substantially quadrilateral shape. In some embodiments, a distance between points forming the second boundary, the third boundary, and/or the fourth boundary and an axis extending between respective corners of the geometric region are also less than the threshold distance.


Displaying the geometric region as having the distance between each point forming the first boundary and an axis extending between the first corner and the second corner being less than a threshold distance enables the geometric region to maintain a substantially rectangular and/or substantially quadrilateral shape, thereby reducing an amount of obscuring of the indication of time and providing improved visual feedback to the user. In addition, displaying the geometric region as having the distance between each point forming the first boundary and an axis extending between the first corner and the second corner being less than a threshold distance provides a unique watch face that is customized to the user without requiring multiple inputs and navigation through menus and settings user interfaces, thereby reducing the number of inputs to the computer system. Providing improved visual feedback to the user and reducing the number of inputs enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.


In some embodiments, the first boundary (e.g., 608a) includes two or more edges (e.g., 622a, 622b, 622c, 622d, and/or 622e) (e.g., straight lines and/or curved lines) extending between one or more control points (e.g., 624a, 624b, 624c, and/or 624d) (e.g., points not displayed via the display generation component) positioned between the first corner (e.g., 620a) and the second corner (e.g., 620b) (e.g., at a distance measured from the linear axis extending between the first corner and the second corner that is less than the threshold distance), such that the first boundary (e.g., 608a) is not a straight line between the first corner (e.g., 620a) and the second corner (e.g., 620b) (e.g., the first boundary of the geometric region that connects the first corner and the second corner is non-linear).


In some embodiments, the boundary is formed using edges that extend between one or more control points between the first corner and the second corner. A first edge of the first boundary extends from the first corner to a first control point and a second edge extends from a control point (e.g., the first control point or a second control point) to the second corner, thereby causing the first boundary to be non-linear (e.g., not a straight line between the first corner and the second corner). In some embodiments, the control points may be randomly generated and/or based on information of the computer system or received by the computer system. In some embodiments, the second boundary, the third boundary, and/or the fourth boundary are also not straight lines between respective corners of the geometric region.


Displaying the geometric region as having the first boundary with two or more edges enhances the aesthetic appeal of the geometric region while reducing an amount of obscuring of the indication of time and providing improved visual feedback to the user. In addition, displaying the geometric region as having the first boundary with two or more edges provides a unique watch that is customized to the user without requiring multiple inputs and navigation through menus and settings user interfaces, thereby reducing the number of inputs to the computer system. Providing improved visual feedback to the user and reducing the number of inputs enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.


In some embodiments, the first boundary (e.g., 608a) is spaced apart from (e.g., each point of each of the edges of the first boundary is spaced apart from) a first side (e.g., 602a) (e.g., a first edge and/or border) of the display generation component (e.g., 602) by at least a first distance (e.g., a first non-zero distance) and the second boundary (e.g., 608b) is spaced apart from (e.g., each point of each of the edges of the second boundary is spaced apart from) a second side (e.g., 602c) (e.g., different from the first side; second edge and/or border that is different from the first boundary) of the display generation component (e.g., 602) by at least a second distance (e.g., a second non-zero distance). In some embodiments, the third boundary and/or the fourth boundary are positioned adjacent to (e.g., abutting, in contact with, and/or side-by-side with) a third side of the display generation component and/or a fourth side of the display generation component, respectively.


Displaying the first boundary spaced apart from a first side of the display generation component and displaying the second boundary spaced apart from the second side of the display generation component enhances the aesthetic appeal of the geometric region while reducing an amount of obscuring of the indication of time and providing improved visual feedback to the user. In addition, displaying the first boundary spaced apart from a first side of the display generation component and displaying the second boundary spaced apart from the second side of the display generation component provides a unique watch face that is customized to the user without requiring multiple inputs and navigation through menus and settings user interfaces, thereby reducing the number of inputs to the computer system. Providing improved visual feedback to the user and reducing the number of inputs enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.


In some embodiments, the one or more first geometric regions (e.g., 608 and/or 610) include a thickness (e.g., a height and/or width extending from a first edge to a second edge of a geometric region of the one or more geometric regions, where the first edge and the second edge are on opposite sides of the geometric region) that exceeds a predetermined thickness (e.g., a minimum thickness of the one or more first geometric regions).


Displaying the one or more first geometric regions as having a thickness that exceeds a predetermined thickness enhances the aesthetic appeal of the one or more first geometric regions while reducing an amount of obscuring of the indication of time and providing improved visual feedback to the user. In addition, displaying the one or more first geometric regions as having a thickness that exceeds a predetermined thickness provides a unique watch face that is customized to the user without requiring multiple inputs and navigation through menus and settings user interfaces, thereby reducing the number of inputs to the computer system. Providing improved visual feedback to the user and reducing the number of inputs enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.


In some embodiments, computer system (e.g., 600, 678, and/or 691), in response to receiving the first request (e.g., 650a) to display the indication of time (e.g., 606), displays (716), via the display generation component, and concurrently with the indication of time (e.g., 606) and the one or more first geometric regions (e.g., 608, 610, 628, 630, 640, and/or 642), a user interface object (e.g., 672 and/or 674) (e.g., a complication that includes and/or displays information from the application and/or activates a user interface of the application in response to selection of the user interface object) such that the user interface object (e.g., 672 and/or 674) does not visually overlap the one or more first geometric regions (e.g., 608, 610, 628, 630, 640, and/or 642) or the indication of time (e.g., 606) (e.g., the shape, size, and/or position of the one or more first geometric regions are limited by the position of the user interface object on the display generation component so that the one or more first geometric regions do not block, cover, and/or overlap with the user interface object on the display generation component). The user interface object (e.g., 672 and/or 674), when selected, launches a respective application of the computer system (e.g., 600, 678, and/or 691).


Displaying the user interface object such that the user interface object does not visually overlap the one or more first geometric regions or the indication of time provides improved visual feedback to the user by facilitating a user's ability to view and select the user interface object, and thus, launch the respective application of the computer system. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.


In some embodiments, a location or shape of the one or more first geometric regions (e.g., 608 and/or 610) is based on data (e.g., data detected by the computer system) that corresponds to (e.g., is unique to) a user associated with the computer system (e.g., 600, 678, and/or 691) (e.g., data collected and/or received by the computer system, such as user data from one or more applications of the computer system (e.g., an activity or health application, a messaging application, a calendar application, and/or a media application)) and a location or shape of the one or more second geometric regions (e.g., 628, 630, 640, and/or 642) is based on data (e.g., data detected by the computer system) that corresponds to (e.g., is unique to) the user associated with the computer system (e.g., 600, 678, and/or 691) (e.g., data collected and/or received by the computer system, such as user data from one or more applications of the computer system (e.g., an activity or health application, a messaging application, a calendar application, and/or a media application)).


In some embodiments, the location or shape of the one or more first geometric regions and the location or shape of the one or more second geometric regions are based on data of the computer system, but a user viewing the one or more first geometric regions and/or the one or more second geometric regions cannot ascertain the data used (and/or how the data is used) to generate the one or more first geometric regions and/or the one or more second geometric regions. In other words, the computer system uses the data to determine the location or shape of the one or more first geometric regions and the location or shape of the one or more second geometric regions via an algorithm that does not enable a user to determine the data based on the visual appearances of the one or more first geometric regions and the one or more second geometric regions.


Displaying the location or shape of the one or more first geometric regions and the location or shape of the one or more second geometric regions based on data that corresponds to the user associated with the computer system provides a unique user interface to the user associated with the computer system, thereby providing improved visual feedback to the user. In addition, displaying the location or shape of the one or more first geometric regions and the location or shape of the one or more second geometric regions based on data that corresponds to the user associated with the computer system provides a unique watch face that is customized to the user without requiring multiple inputs and navigation through menus and settings user interfaces, thereby reducing the number of inputs to the computer system. Providing improved visual feedback to the user and reducing the number of inputs enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.


In some embodiments, a location or shape of the one or more first geometric regions (e.g., 608 and/or 610) and a location or shape of the one or more second geometric regions (e.g., 628, 630, 640, and/or 642) are random or pseudorandom (e.g., the computer system utilizes an algorithm that satisfies one or more statistical tests for randomness to determine the first characteristics and the second characteristics).


In some embodiments, the computer system uses data (e.g., data detected by the computer system) that corresponds to (e.g., is unique to) a user associated with the computer system (e.g., data collected and/or received by the computer system, such as user data from one or more applications of the computer system (e.g., an activity or health application, a messaging application, a calendar application, and/or a media application)) as a seed for a pseudorandom algorithm to generate the location or shape of the one or more first geometric regions and the one or more second geometric regions.


Displaying the location or shape of the one or more first geometric regions and the location or shape of the one or more second geometric regions based as pseudorandom provides a unique user interface to the user associated with the computer system, thereby providing improved visual feedback to the user. In addition, displaying the location or shape of the one or more first geometric regions and the location or shape of the one or more second geometric regions based as pseudorandom provides a unique watch face that is customized to the user without requiring multiple inputs and navigation through menus and settings user interfaces, thereby reducing the number of inputs to the computer system. Providing improved visual feedback to the user and reducing the number of inputs enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.


In some embodiments, a location or shape of the one or more first geometric regions (e.g., 608 and/or 610) corresponds to a combination of a geographic location (e.g., of the computer system), a first time (e.g., of the first request to display the indication of time), and data of a user associated with the computer system (e.g., 600, 678, and/or 691) (e.g., data of a user is a seed for a pseudorandom number generator) and the location or shape of the one or more first geometric regions (e.g., 608 and/or 610) is different from a location or shape of one or more third geometric regions corresponding to the geographic location, the first time, and data of a user different from the user associated with the computer system.


In some embodiments, a location or shape of the one or more second geometric regions also corresponds to a combination of a geographical location, a second time, and data of the user associated with the computer system, and the location or shape of the one or more second geometric regions is different from a location or shape of one or more fourth geometric regions corresponding to the geographical location, the second time, and data of the user different from the user associated with the computer system. In some embodiments, the location or shape of the one or more first geometric regions and the location or shape of the one or more second geometric regions are different from a location or shape of one or more third geometric regions and a location or shape of one or more fourth geometric regions, respectively, of an additional computer system. In other words, the computer system displays geometric regions that are unique to the user of the computer system, such that the additional computer system would display different geometric regions than the computer system at the same time and location (e.g., the computer system and the additional computer system display different geometric regions even when the computer system and the additional computer system are positioned in approximately the same location and a request to display the indication of time is received by the computer system and the additional computer system at approximately the same time).


Displaying the location or shape of the one or more first geometric regions as being different from one or more third geometric regions for a user different from the user associated with the computer system provides a unique user interface to the user associated with the computer system, thereby providing improved visual feedback to the user. In addition, displaying the location or shape of the one or more first geometric regions as being different from one or more third geometric regions for a user different from the user associated with the computer system provides a unique watch face that is customized to the user without requiring multiple inputs and navigation through menus and settings user interfaces, thereby reducing the number of inputs to the computer system. Providing improved visual feedback to the user and reducing the number of inputs enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.


In some embodiments, computer system (e.g., 600, 678, and/or 691), after receiving the first request (e.g., 650a) to display the indication of time (e.g., 606) and prior to receiving the second request (e.g., 650a) to display the indication of time (e.g., 606) (718), transitions (720) from a first mode of operation of the computer system (e.g., a high power consumption mode, an active mode, and/or a normal mode) to a second mode of operation of the computer system (e.g., a low power consumption mode, an inactive mode, and/or a sleep mode). Computer system (e.g., 600, 678, and/or 691), while in the second mode of operation of the computer system, displays (722) the one or more first geometric regions (e.g., 608 and/or 610), where on the first side of the boundary (e.g., 608a and/or 610a) of the one or more first geometric regions (e.g., 608 and/or 610), the indication of time (e.g., 606) includes a fifth color different from the first color (e.g., the fifth color is a color having a first shade of grey) and on the second side of the boundary (e.g., 608a and/or 610a) of the one or more first geometric regions (608 and/or 610), the indication of time includes a sixth color different from the second color (e.g., the sixth color is a color having a second shade of grey that is different from the first shade of grey).


Displaying the indication of time with different colors while in the second mode of operation of the computer system provides improved visual feedback as to which mode of operation the computer system is operating, thereby enabling the user to quickly determine whether or not additional input is necessary to activate certain functions of the computer system. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.


In some embodiments, computer system (e.g., 600, 678, and/or 691), after receiving the first request (e.g., 650a) to display the indication of time (e.g., 606) and prior to receiving the second request (e.g., 650a) to display the indication of time (e.g., 606) (724), transitions (726) from a first mode of operation of the computer system (e.g., a high power consumption mode, an active mode, and/or a normal mode) to a second mode of operation of the computer system (e.g., a low power consumption mode, an inactive mode, and/or a sleep mode), where the display generation component (e.g., 602) includes a first brightness level in the first mode of operation. Computer system (e.g., 600, 678, and/or 691), while in the second mode of operation of the computer system, displays (728) the one or more first geometric regions (e.g., 608 and/or 610), where on the first side of the boundary (e.g., 608a and/or 610a) of the one or more first geometric regions (e.g., 608 and/or 610), the indication of time (e.g., 606) includes the first color displayed at a second brightness level (e.g., the first color being dimmer than the first color displayed when the computer system operates in the first mode of operation of the computer system) and on the second side of the boundary (e.g., 608a and/or 610a) of the one or more first geometric regions (e.g., 608 and/or 610), the indication of time (e.g., 606) includes the second color displayed at the second brightness level (e.g., the second color being dimmer than the second color displayed when the computer system operates in the first mode of operation of the computer system).


Displaying the indication of time with the first and second colors at the second brightness level while in the second mode of operation of the computer system provides improved visual feedback as to which mode of operation the computer system is operating, thereby enabling the user to quickly determine whether or not additional input is necessary to activate certain functions of the computer system. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.


In some embodiments, computer system (e.g., 600, 678, and/or 691), in response to receiving a request (e.g., 650b) (e.g., a tap and hold gesture optionally followed by a tap gesture on an edit affordance) to display an editing user interface (e.g., 648), displays (730), via the display generation component (e.g., 602), an editing user interface (e.g., 648) (e.g., a user interface that enables a user to customize features of a user interface that includes an indication of time) (e.g., the editing user interface includes a color selection user interface object, such as an indication that a color scheme is selected for editing, an indicator entitled “color,” a name of the currently selected color scheme, a preview of a watch face displaying the currently selected color scheme, and/or a selection indicator providing an indication of where the currently selected color scheme is with respect to other available color schemes (e.g., a bar and/or a series of dots)). Computer system (e.g., 600, 678, and/or 691), while displaying the editing user interface (e.g., 648), receives (732) a request (e.g., 650c) (e.g., a rotation of a rotatable input mechanism, a swipe gesture, and/or a tap gesture) to select a color arrangement of a user interface (e.g., 604) that includes an indication of time (e.g., 606) and one or more geometric regions (e.g., 608, 610, 628, 630, 640, and/or 642). Computer system (e.g., 600, 678, and/or 691), after receiving the request (e.g., 650c) to select the color arrangement of a user interface (e.g., 604) that includes an indication of time (e.g., 606) and one or more geometric regions (e.g., 608, 610, 628, 630, 640, and/or 642), displays (734) the indication of time (e.g., 606) and one or more fourth geometric regions (e.g., 640 and/or 642) with the selected color arrangement (e.g., and optionally updating the indicator of the editing user interface to indicate the selected color scheme to enable a user to view the selected color(s) that will be displayed upon exiting the editing user interface).


Displaying the editing user interface that enables the user associated with the computer system to select a color arrangement of the user interface provides a unique user interface to the user associated with the computer system, thereby providing improved visual feedback to the user. In addition, displaying the editing user interface that enables the user associated with the computer system to select a color arrangement of the user interface enables a user to select multiple colors for elements on the watch face with a single input instead of having to individually select each color, thereby reducing the number of inputs to the computer system. Providing improved visual feedback to the user and reducing the number of inputs needed to perform an operation enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.


In some embodiments, computer system (e.g., 600, 678, and/or 691), in response to receiving the first request (e.g., 650a) to display the indication of time (e.g., 606), displays (736), via the display generation component (e.g., 602), and concurrently with the indication of time (e.g., 606) and the one or more first geometric regions (e.g., 608, 610, 628, 630, 640, and/or 642), a user interface object (e.g., 672 and/or 674) (e.g., a complication that includes and/or displays information from the application) that, when selected, launches a respective application of the computer system (e.g., 600, 678, and/or 691), wherein a color of the user interface object (e.g., 672 and/or 674) is based on the selected color arrangement (e.g., changing the color scheme via the editing user interface also changes a color of the user interface object (e.g., complication) that is displayed on the watch face).


Displaying the editing user interface that enables the user associated with the computer system to select a color arrangement of the user interface that includes a color of the user interface object provides a unique user interface to the user associated with the computer system, thereby providing improved visual feedback to the user. In addition, displaying the editing user interface that enables the user associated with the computer system to select a color arrangement of the user interface that includes a color of the user interface object enables a user to select multiple colors for elements on the watch face with a single input instead of having to individually select each color, thereby reducing the number of inputs to the computer system. Providing improved visual feedback to the user and reducing the number of inputs needed to perform an operation enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.


In some embodiments, a portion (e.g., 606a and/or 614) of the indication of time (e.g., 606) includes a fifth color of the selected color arrangement, and wherein the fifth color is different from the first color, the second color, the third color, and the fourth color (e.g., one color of a selected color scheme highlights a single portion of the indication of time and is not used for other portions of the indication of time and/or other objects displayed via the display generation component, such as user interface objects (e.g., complications and/or affordances), a background, portions of the one or more first geometric regions that do not overlap with the single portion of the indication of time, and/or portions of the one or more second geometric regions that do not overlap with the single portion of the indication of time).


Displaying the portion of the indication of time with the fifth color, which is different from the first color, the second color, the third color, and the fourth color, causes the portion of the indication of time to be highlighted and facilitate a user's ability to determine the current time, thereby providing improved visual feedback to the user. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.


In some embodiments, displaying the indication of time (e.g., 606) and the one or more first geometric regions (e.g., 608 and/or 610) in response to receiving the first request (e.g., 650a) to display the indication of time (e.g., 606) includes displaying a user interface (e.g., 604) that includes the indication of time (e.g., 606) and the one or more first geometric regions (e.g., 608 and/or 610), wherein the user interface is selected from the group consisting of: a watch face (e.g., a home screen of a smart watch and/or a default display of a smart watch), a desktop background (e.g., one or more images that are displayed on a home screen of a computing device (e.g., behind one or more icons) that ceases to be displayed upon activating an application window on the computing device), a screen saver (e.g., one or more images that are displayed on a computing device in response to inactivity (e.g., lack of user input) and/or a particular command (e.g., a request to activate the screen saver) on a computing device), and a lock screen (e.g., one or more images that are displayed on a smart phone, tablet, and/or other computing device in response to inactivity (e.g., lack of user input) and/or a particular command (e.g., a request to activate the lock screen) on the smart phone, tablet, and/or other computing device).


Displaying the indication of time and the one or more first geometric regions on a user interface that includes a watch face, a desktop background, a screen saver, or a lock screen enables a user to quickly view the current time even when the computer system is in an inactive mode, thereby providing improved visual feedback to the user. Providing improved visual feedback to the user enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.


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.


As described above, one aspect of the present technology is the gathering and use of data available from various sources to generate a unique and/or custom dynamic user interface that includes an indication of time. The present disclosure contemplates that in some instances, this gathered data may include personal information data that uniquely identifies or can be used to contact or locate a specific person. Such personal information data can include demographic data, location-based data, telephone numbers, email addresses, twitter IDs, home addresses, data or records relating to a user's health or level of fitness (e.g., vital signs measurements, medication information, exercise information), date of birth, or any other identifying or personal information.


The present disclosure recognizes that the use of such personal information data, in the present technology, can be used to the benefit of users. For example, the personal information data can be used to generate size, positions, and/or colors of one or more geometric regions of the dynamic user interface having an indication of time. Accordingly, use of such personal information data enables users to view a unique and/or custom dynamic user interface having an indication of time. Further, other uses for personal information data that benefit the user are also contemplated by the present disclosure. For instance, health and fitness data may be used to provide insights into a user's general wellness, or may be used as positive feedback to individuals using technology to pursue wellness goals.


The present disclosure contemplates that the entities responsible for the collection, analysis, disclosure, transfer, storage, or other use of such personal information data will comply with well-established privacy policies and/or privacy practices. In particular, such entities should implement and consistently use privacy policies and practices that are generally recognized as meeting or exceeding industry or governmental requirements for maintaining personal information data private and secure. Such policies should be easily accessible by users, and should be updated as the collection and/or use of data changes. Personal information from users should be collected for legitimate and reasonable uses of the entity and not shared or sold outside of those legitimate uses. Further, such collection/sharing should occur after receiving the informed consent of the users. Additionally, such entities should consider taking any needed steps for safeguarding and securing access to such personal information data and ensuring that others with access to the personal information data adhere to their privacy policies and procedures. Further, such entities can subject themselves to evaluation by third parties to certify their adherence to widely accepted privacy policies and practices. In addition, policies and practices should be adapted for the particular types of personal information data being collected and/or accessed and adapted to applicable laws and standards, including jurisdiction-specific considerations. For instance, in the US, collection of or access to certain health data may be governed by federal and/or state laws, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA); whereas health data in other countries may be subject to other regulations and policies and should be handled accordingly. Hence different privacy practices should be maintained for different personal data types in each country.


Despite the foregoing, the present disclosure also contemplates embodiments in which users selectively block the use of, or access to, personal information data. That is, the present disclosure contemplates that hardware and/or software elements can be provided to prevent or block access to such personal information data. For example, the present technology can be configured to allow users to select to “opt in” or “opt out” of participation in the collection of personal information data during registration for services or anytime thereafter. In another example, users can select not to provide data for use in generating the dynamic user interface having the indication of time. In addition to providing “opt in” and “opt out” options, the present disclosure contemplates providing notifications relating to the access or use of personal information. For instance, a user may be notified upon downloading an app that their personal information data will be accessed and then reminded again just before personal information data is accessed by the app.


Moreover, it is the intent of the present disclosure that personal information data should be managed and handled in a way to minimize risks of unintentional or unauthorized access or use. Risk can be minimized by limiting the collection of data and deleting data once it is no longer needed. In addition, and when applicable, including in certain health related applications, data de-identification can be used to protect a user's privacy. De-identification may be facilitated, when appropriate, by removing specific identifiers (e.g., date of birth, etc.), controlling the amount or specificity of data stored (e.g., collecting location data a city level rather than at an address level), controlling how data is stored (e.g., aggregating data across users), and/or other methods.


Therefore, although the present disclosure broadly covers use of personal information data to implement one or more various disclosed embodiments, the present disclosure also contemplates that the various embodiments can also be implemented without the need for accessing such personal information data. That is, the various embodiments of the present technology are not rendered inoperable due to the lack of all or a portion of such personal information data. For example, the sizes, positions, and/or colors of geometric regions of the dynamic user interface having the indication of time can be based on non-personal information data or a bare minimum amount of personal information.
