The present disclosure relates generally to computer user interfaces, and more specifically to techniques and user interfaces for managing health information and functions.
Electronic devices collect, store, and access health-related information for users. Such devices provide the user with the ability to manage health information and corresponding functions using the electronic device.
Some techniques for managing health information and functions using electronic devices, however, are generally cumbersome and inefficient. For example, some existing techniques use a complex and time-consuming user interface, which can 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 managing health information and functions. Such methods and interfaces optionally complement or replace other methods for managing health information and functions. 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.

Thus, devices are provided with faster, more efficient methods and interfaces for managing health information and functions, thereby increasing the effectiveness, efficiency, and user satisfaction with such devices. Such methods and interfaces can complement or replace other methods for managing health information and functions.
For a better understanding of the various described embodiments, reference should be made to the Description of Embodiments below, in conjunction with the following drawings in which like reference numerals refer to corresponding parts throughout the figures.
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 managing health information and functions. For example, it is advantageous to provide timely health-related notifications and cease to display unhelpful notifications. For another example, it is advantageous to emphasize certain health-related information for the user. Such techniques can reduce the cognitive burden on a user who manage health information and functions, thereby enhancing productivity. Further, such techniques can reduce processor and battery power otherwise wasted on redundant user inputs.
Below,
Although the following description uses terms “first,” “second,” etc. to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by the terms. These terms are only 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. 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, California. 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 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.
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 can 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.

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.

The one or more buttons (e.g., 208,
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, California.
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. No. 10/840,862, “Multipoint Touchscreen,” filed May 6, 2004; (3) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/903,964, “Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices,” filed Jul. 30, 2004; (4) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/048,264, “Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices,” filed Jan. 31, 2005; (5) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/038,590, “Mode-Based Graphical User Interfaces For Touch Sensitive Input Devices,” filed Jan. 18, 2005; (6) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/228,758, “Virtual Input Device Placement On A Touch Screen User Interface,” filed Sep. 16, 2005; (7) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/228,700, “Operation Of A Computer With A Touch Screen Interface,” filed Sep. 16, 2005; (8) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/228,737, “Activating Virtual Keys Of A Touch-Screen Virtual Keyboard,” filed Sep. 16, 2005; and (9) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/367,749, “Multi-Functional Hand-Held Device,” filed Mar. 3, 2006. All of these applications are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.
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.
Device 100 optionally also includes one or more optical sensors 164.
Device 100 optionally also includes one or more depth camera sensors 175.
Device 100 optionally also includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165.
Device 100 optionally also includes one or more proximity sensors 166.
Device 100 optionally also includes one or more tactile output generators 167.
Device 100 optionally also includes one or more accelerometers 168.
In some embodiments, the software components stored in memory 102 include operating system 126, communication module (or set of instructions) 128, contact/motion module (or set of instructions) 130, graphics module (or set of instructions) 132, text input module (or set of instructions) 134, Global Positioning System (GPS) module (or set of instructions) 135, and applications (or sets of instructions) 136. Furthermore, in some embodiments, memory 102 (
Operating system 126 (e.g., Darwin, RTXC, LINUX, UNIX, OS X, iOS, WINDOWS, or an embedded operating system such as VxWorks) includes various software components and/or drivers for controlling and managing general system tasks (e.g., memory management, storage device control, power management, etc.) and facilitates communication between various hardware and software components.
Communication module 128 facilitates communication with other devices over one or more external ports 124 and also includes various software components for handling data received by RF circuitry 108 and/or external port 124. External port 124 (e.g., Universal Serial Bus (USB), FIREWIRE, etc.) is adapted for coupling directly to other devices or indirectly over a network (e.g., the Internet, wireless LAN, etc.). In some embodiments, the external port is a multi-pin (e.g., 30-pin) connector that is the same as, or similar to and/or compatible with, the 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.

Each of the above-identified modules and applications corresponds to a set of executable instructions for performing one or more functions described above and the methods described in this application (e.g., the computer-implemented methods and other information processing methods described herein). These modules (e.g., sets of instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs, procedures, or modules, and thus various subsets of these modules 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,
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.
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.
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.
Each of the above-identified elements in
Attention is now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces that are, optionally, implemented on, for example, portable multifunction device 100.
It should be noted that the icon labels illustrated in
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
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.
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 implementations that include a cursor or other location marker, the cursor acts as a “focus selector” so that when an input (e.g., a press input) is detected on a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touchpad 355 in
As used in the specification and claims, the term “characteristic intensity” of a contact refers to a characteristic of the contact based on one or more intensities of the contact. In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is based on multiple intensity samples. The characteristic intensity is, optionally, based on a predefined number of intensity samples, or a set of intensity samples collected during a predetermined time period (e.g., 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10 seconds) relative to a predefined event (e.g., after detecting the contact, prior to detecting liftoff of the contact, before or after detecting a start of movement of the contact, prior to detecting an end of the contact, before or after detecting an increase in intensity of the contact, and/or before or after detecting a decrease in intensity of the contact). A characteristic intensity of a contact is, optionally, based on one or more of: a maximum value of the intensities of the contact, a mean value of the intensities of the contact, an average value of the intensities of the contact, a top 10 percentile value of the intensities of the contact, a value at the half maximum of the intensities of the contact, a value at the 90 percent maximum of the intensities of the contact, or the like. In some embodiments, the duration of the contact is used in determining the characteristic intensity (e.g., when the characteristic intensity is an average of the intensity of the contact over time). In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is compared to a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an operation has been performed by a user. For example, the set of one or more intensity thresholds 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 display of representations 578A-578C includes an animation. For example, representation 578A is initially displayed in proximity of application icon 572B, as shown in
In some embodiments, the device employs intensity hysteresis to avoid accidental inputs sometimes termed “jitter,” where the device defines or selects a hysteresis intensity threshold with a predefined relationship to the press-input intensity threshold (e.g., the hysteresis intensity threshold is X intensity units lower than the press-input intensity threshold or the hysteresis intensity threshold is 75%, 90%, or some reasonable proportion of the press-input intensity threshold). Thus, in some embodiments, the press input includes an increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold and a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold that corresponds to the press-input intensity threshold, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the subsequent decrease in intensity of the respective contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold (e.g., an “up stroke” of the respective press input). Similarly, in some embodiments, the press input is detected only when the device detects an increase in intensity of the contact from an intensity at or below the hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity at or above the press-input intensity threshold and, optionally, a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact to an intensity at or below the hysteresis intensity, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the press input (e.g., the increase in intensity of the contact or the decrease in intensity of the contact, depending on the circumstances).
For ease of explanation, the descriptions of operations performed in response to a press input associated with a press-input intensity threshold or in response to a gesture including the press input are, optionally, triggered in response to detecting either: an increase in intensity of a contact above the press-input intensity threshold, an increase in intensity of a contact from an intensity below the hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity above the press-input intensity threshold, a decrease in intensity of the contact below the press-input intensity threshold, and/or a decrease in intensity of the contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to the press-input intensity threshold. Additionally, in examples where an operation is described as being performed in response to detecting a decrease in intensity of a contact below the press-input intensity threshold, the operation is, optionally, performed in response to detecting a decrease in intensity of the contact below a hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to, and lower than, the press-input intensity threshold.
As used herein, an “installed application” refers to a software application that has been downloaded onto an electronic device (e.g., devices 100, 300, and/or 500) and is ready to be launched (e.g., become opened) on the device. In some embodiments, a downloaded application becomes an installed application by way of an installation program that extracts program portions from a downloaded package and integrates the extracted portions with the operating system of the computer system.
As used herein, the terms “open application” or “executing application” refer to a software application with retained state information (e.g., as part of device/global internal state 157 and/or application internal state 192). An open or executing application is, optionally, any one of the following types of applications:
As used herein, the term “closed application” refers to software applications without retained state information (e.g., state information for closed applications is not stored in a memory of the device). Accordingly, closing an application includes stopping and/or removing application processes for the application and removing state information for the application from the memory of the device. Generally, opening a second application while in a first application does not close the first application. When the second application is displayed and the first application ceases to be displayed, the first application becomes a background application.
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.
In some examples, lock user interface 604 relates to a user interface displayed when first electronic device transitions out of an inactive mode. As depicted in
In some examples, notification 604a was issued by an activity process corresponding to an activity application (as indicated by icon 604aa). In some examples, user interface elements corresponding to the activity application will include icon 604aa (or some variant of icon 604aa, such as a smaller or larger version of icon 604aa). As depicted in
In some examples, notification 604b was issued by a clinical health record (CHR) process corresponding to a CHR application (as indicated by icon 604ba). In some examples, user interface elements corresponding to the CHR application will include icon 604ba (or some variant of icon 604ba, such as a smaller or larger version of icon 604ba). As depicted in
In some examples, notification 610 was issued (e.g., caused to be displayed by second electronic device 606) by a hearing process corresponding to a hearing application (as indicated by icon 610a) executing on second electronic device 606. In some examples, user interface elements corresponding to the hearing application will include icon 610a (or some variant of icon 610a, such as a smaller or larger version of icon 610a). As depicted in
In some examples, the notification region includes affordances for health-related notifications that have been issued/displayed by a device associated with an account logged into the health application. For example, the health-related notifications can be from first electronic device 600 (e.g., notification 604a and notification 604b, as depicted in
As discussed above, the notification region includes first notification affordance 616, second notification affordance 618, and third notification affordance 620. In some examples, first notification affordance 616 corresponds to (e.g., includes information from) notification 610. In some examples, second notification affordance 618 corresponds to (e.g., includes information from) notification 604a. In some examples, third notification affordance 620 corresponds to (e.g., includes information from) notification 604b. As depicted in
In some examples, notification affordances are removed from the notification region after a particular amount of time has passed. In some examples, the particular amount of time varies based on an amount of user interaction associated with a respective notification affordance or the data related to the affordance. For example, a first notification affordance is removed quicker than a second notification affordance when the first notification affordance (or a notification corresponding to the first notification affordance) is interacted with by a user and the second notification affordance is not interacted with by a user. For another example, a first notification affordance is removed quicker than a second notification affordance when the first notification affordance (or a notification corresponding to the first notification affordance) is displayed for a longer amount of time than the second notification affordance (or a notification corresponding to the second notification affordance). For another example, a first notification affordance is removed quicker than a second notification affordance when the first notification affordance (or a notification corresponding to the first notification affordance) is associated with a type of health data that is viewed (or interacted with) by a user more often than a type of health data that is associated with the second notification affordance (or a notification corresponding to the second notification affordance). For another example, a first notification affordance is removed quicker than a second notification affordance when the first notification affordance (or a notification corresponding to the first notification affordance) has more information (e.g., more detailed information) or more important information (e.g., as defined by the health application) than the second notification affordance (or a notification corresponding to the second notification affordance). For another example, a first notification affordance is removed quicker than a second notification affordance when the data corresponding to the first notification affordance is viewed on another device (e.g., device 608) (e.g., even if the first notification affordance is not interacted with on device 600). Such removal criteria is discussed further with respect to
First notification affordance 616 includes icon 616a, indicating that a notification (e.g., notification 610) corresponding to first notification affordance 616 was issued by an application (e.g., the hearing application) represented by icon 616a. First notification affordance 616 includes a header that is visually distinct from the rest of first notification affordance 616, the header including title 616b (indicating what first notification affordance 616 relates to) and time 616c (indicating a time that a notification corresponding to first notification affordance 616 was initially issued). In one example, the header is visually distinct from the rest of first notification affordance 616 by being a particular pattern or color that corresponds to the hearing application. In some examples, user interface elements related to the hearing application will include an element that is the particular pattern or color. As depicted in
Second notification affordance 618 includes icon 618a, indicating that a notification (e.g., notification 604a) corresponding to second notification affordance 618 was issued by an application (e.g., the activity application) represented by icon 618a. Second notification affordance 618 includes a header that is visually distinct from the rest of second notification affordance 618 (and visually distinct from the headers of first notification affordance 616 and third notification affordance 620), the header including title 618b (indicating what second notification affordance 618 relates to) and time 618c (indicating a time that a notification corresponding to second notification affordance 618 was initially issued). In one example, the header is visually distinct from other elements by being a particular pattern or color that corresponds to the activity application. In some examples, user interface elements related to the activity application will include an element that is the particular pattern or color. As depicted in
Third notification affordance 620 includes icon 620a, indicating that a notification (e.g., notification 604b) corresponding to third notification affordance 620 was issued by an application (e.g., the CHR application) represented by icon 620a. Third notification affordance 620 includes a header that is visually distinct from the rest of third notification affordance 620 (and visually distinct from the headers of first notification affordance 616 and second notification affordance 618), the header including title 620b (indicating what third notification affordance 620 relates to) and time 620c (indicating a time that a notification corresponding to third notification affordance 620 was initially issued). In one example, the header is visually distinct from other elements by being a particular pattern or color that corresponds to the CHR application. In some examples, user interface elements related to the CHR application will include an element that is the particular pattern or color. As depicted in
In some examples, selection of a notification affordance causes a user interface of the health application to be displayed, the user interface associated with a corresponding application. For example, selection of first notification affordance 616 causes a user interface of the health application to be displayed, the user interface including information from the hearing application (sometimes referred to as a hearing data room, as depicted in
In some examples, the logging region includes affordances for logging data. For example, logging affordance 622 relates to logging a cycle. Logging affordance 622 includes icon 622a, representative of a logging application corresponding to logging affordance 622 (e.g., a cycle tracking application). Logging affordance 622 also includes content 622b, describing logging affordance 622 and indicating a last time that a user has logged information associated with the logging application. Logging affordance 622 also includes graphic 622c, indicating whether logging criteria are met (e.g.: when logging criteria are not met, graphic 622c is a plus sign, indicating that a user has not logged a minimum number of times; when logging criteria are met, graphic 622c is a check mark, indicating that a user has logged a minimum number of times). In some examples, logging affordance 622 when selected, causes a user interface to be displayed that allows a user to log a cycle. In other examples, the act of selecting logging affordance 622 causes a cycle to be logged.
In some examples, a color or pattern associated with a portion of logging affordance 622 (e.g., a font color of the words “CYCLE TRACKING”) are a particular color or pattern corresponding to the logging application. The particular color or pattern, in some examples, is used on at least a portion of user elements displayed in the health application that correspond to the logging application. In some examples, the particular color or pattern is visually distinct from colors/patterns used for other applications (e.g., the activity application, the hearing application, the CHR application, or other logging applications).
In some examples, the favorites region includes affordances for health-related data that a user has indicated as one of their favorites (as depicted in
As discussed above, the favorites region includes first favorite affordance 626a, second favorite affordance 626b, third favorite affordance 626c, fourth favorite affordance 626d, fifth favorite affordance 626e, sixth favorite affordance 626f, and show all health data affordance 628. First favorite affordance 626a, second favorite affordance 626b, and third favorite affordance 626c correspond to health data from an activity application, as indicated by, for example, icon 626aa.
In some examples, at least a portion of each favorite affordance is visually distinct to represent a corresponding application (e.g., a font color of title 626ab, in some examples, corresponds to the activity application). In some examples, the element that makes each favorite affordance visually distinct is consistent across different user interface elements (e.g., if a color is the element that is visually distinct, other user interface elements corresponding to the activity application will include the same color (e.g., the header in second notification affordance 618, in some examples, is the same color as the font of “ACTIVITY” in first favorite affordance 626a).

In some examples, show all health data affordance 628 causes a user interface to be displayed that includes representations of all health data corresponding to the account associated with the health application. An example of such a user interface is depicted in
In some examples, the highlights region includes graphical representations of health data over periods of time that are identified by the health application. For example, a particular graphical representation is displayed when it meets highlight criteria and is not displayed when it does not meet the highlight criteria. In some examples, the highlight criteria is based on differences between health data in time periods, time a user has spent viewing a particular graphic, interaction by a user with a particular graphic or element of interface 614, or any combination thereof.
As depicted in
As depicted in
As discussed above, the highlights region also includes show all highlights affordance 634. In some examples, selection of show all highlights affordance 634 causes a user interface corresponding to the health application to be displayed, such as show all highlights user interface as depicted in
In some examples, the health records region includes affordances (e.g., first health records affordance 636 and second health records affordance 638) corresponding to each clinical institution that has sent health record data regarding the account associated with the health application. For example, first health records affordance 636 indicates that it corresponds to XYZ Medical Center in Palo Alto, CA (see 636d). For another example, second health records affordance 638 indicates that it corresponds to ABC Urgent Care in San Jose, CA (see 638d).
In some examples, each affordance in the health records region includes a title indicating that the affordance corresponds to health records (e.g., title 636a and title 638a). As depicted in
In some examples, each affordance in the health records region includes an indication of which records have been received from the corresponding institution. For example, first health records affordance 636 includes indication 636e, which indicates that health records corresponding to medications, lab results, and other records have been received from XYZ Medical Center. In some examples, indication 636e is ordered based on when health records were received (e.g., medications is before lab results because a health record with health data corresponding to medications was received more recent than a health record with health data corresponding to lab results was received). For another example, second health records affordance 638 includes indication 638e, which indicates that health records corresponding to medications have been received from ABC Urgent Care.
In some examples, the education region includes affordances that, when selected, cause a user interface to be displayed with educational content. In some examples, the get more from health region includes affordances that, when selected, cause a user interface to be displayed to configure the health application. In some examples, the apps region includes affordances corresponding to different applications that are determined to relate to the account of the health application.

In the view corresponding to existing data affordance 646a (as depicted in
In either view, selection of a representation of a health data type causes a favorite affordance for the health data type to be added to the favorites region of summary user interface 614, allowing a user to view stored data for the health data type from summary user interface 614. As depicted in
In some examples, steps data room user interface 648 is a user interface of the health application with information from the activity application. As depicted in
Steps data room user interface 648 further includes time scale affordances at the top indicating different time scales (e.g., “D” indicating a day, “W” indicating a week, “M” indicating a month, and “Y” indicating a year). As depicted
Steps data room user interface 648 includes a highlight section including highlights associated with steps. As depicted in

In some examples, all health data user interface 664 is a user interface of the health application with a list of health data received for the account. As depicted in
In the health record view, all health data user interface 664, in some examples, includes representations for health record types (e.g., representation 666 is for allergies, representation 666b is for clinical vitals, representation 666c is for conditions, representation 666d is for immunizations, representation 666e is for lab results, representation 666f is for medications, and representation 666g is for procedures). In such examples, the representations for health record types are ordered alphabetically (e.g., allergies before clinical vitals before conditions before immunizations before lab results before medications before procedures).
In some examples, each representation in the health record view includes an icon corresponding to the health record type (e.g., icon 666aa corresponds to allergies, icon 666ba corresponds to clinical vitals, icon 666ca corresponds to conditions, icon 666da corresponds to immunizations, icon 666ea corresponds to lab results, icon 666fa corresponds to medications, icon 666ga corresponds to procedures). In some examples, a user interface of the health application that includes a user interface element corresponding to the health record type will include a version of the corresponding icon.
In some examples, each representation in the health record view includes a list of information corresponding to the respective health record type. For example, representation 666a, which corresponds to allergies, includes a list of items for which health records have indicated that a user associated with the account is allergic to (e.g., pollen, mold, avocado, and shellfish). In some examples, the list of information is ordered based on recency (e.g., items that have been more recently identified for a health record type are ordered in front of (e.g., above) items that have less recently been identified for the health record type). In some examples, all health data user interface 664 in the health record view will include a representation for a health record type even when there is no health records for the health record type.

In some examples, each region included in lab result data room user interface 668 includes one or more representations of health records. For example, region 670 includes two representations of two separate health records: representation 670b and representation 670c. For another example, region 672 includes three representations: representation 672b, representation 672c, and representation 672d.
In some examples, representations within a region are included in a sub-region corresponding to a clinical institution associated with the health records. For example, representation 670b and representation 670c are included in a sub-region that corresponds to XYZ Medical Center, indicating that health records corresponding to representation 670b and representation 670c were received from (e.g., generated by) XYZ Medical Center. For another example, representation 672b, representation 672c, and representation 672d are included in a sub-region that corresponds to ABC Urgent Care, indicating that the health records corresponding to representation 672b, representation 672c, and representation 672d were received from (e.g., generated by) ABC Urgent Care. Such illustrates that lab result data room user interface 668 can includes representations from multiple clinical institutions.
In some examples, representations of health records in lab result data room user interface 668 include an icon indicating a corresponding health record type (as discussed above). In some examples, representations of health records in lab result data room user interface 668 include information corresponding to a respective health record. For example, information in 670b includes the word “collected,” indicating that a corresponding health record was collected on the associated date (e.g., Mar. 29, 2019).
The information in representation 670b further includes a graph illustrating a corresponding health record. The graph in representation 670b includes multiple indications of a value (e.g., “125 MG/DL”) included in the corresponding health record and a range defined for the value (e.g., 0 to 200, which is a minimum and maximum value). The multiple indications include a textual indication (e.g., the text) and a graphical representation (e.g., the dot in the visual representation of the range). In some examples, the value is considered to meet particular criteria (e.g., criteria related to whether the value is acceptable, such as criteria set by a governing body) when the value is within the range. In some examples, the range is included in the corresponding health record. In other examples, the range is known by the health application, such as from being provided by a remote source (such as a clinical institution).

In some examples, affordances of shared health data affordances 684b relate to other accounts for which are linked with the account associated with the health application. In one example, linking includes a connection between the two accounts such that health data recorded for one account is sent to the other account. For example,
In some examples, affordances of health categories affordances 684c relate to categories of health data types. In particular, health categories affordances 684c represents a hierarchy of health data, allowing a user to navigate to particular health data through one or more user inputs. For example, health categories affordances 684c includes affordance 684ca corresponding to activity health data type (e.g., a type of health data corresponding to activity). In some examples, the activity health data type corresponds to health data stored by an activity application. For another example, health categories affordances 684c includes affordance 684ck corresponding to vitals health data type (e.g., a type of health data corresponding to vitals). In some examples, the vitals health data type corresponds to health data stored by a vitals application.
In some examples, selection of an affordance of health categories affordances 684c causes a user interface of the health application to be displayed, the user interface including health data associated with a respective health data type, as depicted in
In some examples, affordances of health records affordances 684d relate to categories of health records, as discussed above. For example, health records affordances 684d represents a hierarchy of health records, allowing a user to navigate to a particular health record through one or more user inputs. For example, health records affordances 684d includes affordance 684de corresponding to lab results (e.g., a type of health record). In some examples, selection of affordance 684de causes a user interface to be displayed, the user interface including lab results health records. Health records affordances 684d also include affordances related to clinical institutions (e.g., affordance 684h). Selection of an affordance related to a clinical institution causes a user interface of the health application to be displayed, the user interface including heath records gathered by the clinical institution. Selection of an affordance related to all accounts (e.g., affordance 684dj) causes a user interface of the health application to be displayed, the user interface including all heath records.
As depicted in
In some examples, affordances of health content affordances 684g relate to links to other health content. For example, health content affordances 684g includes an affordance to view educational content. Selection of such an affordance causes a user interface of the health application to be displayed, the user interface including educational content. For another example, health content affordances 684g includes an affordance to view highlights, which were discussed above. Selection of such an affordance causes a user interface of the health application to be displayed, the user interface including one or more highlight representations.
In some examples, the search results include data from different sources. For example, first search result 684h includes health data (e.g., health data detected by first electronic device 600 or another device linked to either first electronic device 600 or the account associated with the health application). As depicted in
In some examples, the search results include categories of highlights determined to be related to the string. For example,

As described below, method 700 provides an intuitive way for managing notifications. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for viewing and acting on notifications, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to view and act on notifications faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
The electronic device displays (702), via the display device, a first instance (e.g., 614, as depicted in
In some embodiments, the first notification includes a first visual property (704) (e.g., a color (e.g., depicted as pattern in header of 616, which includes 616b and 616c, pattern in header of 618, which includes 618a, 618b and 618c, and pattern in header of 620, which includes 620a, 620b, and 620c) (e.g., a foreground color, a background color, inclusion (or exclusion) of a respective icon). In some embodiments, in accordance with (706) a determination that the first set of data corresponds to (e.g., was generated by) a first application, the first visual property has a first value (e.g., blue). In some embodiments, in accordance with (708) a determination that the first set of data corresponds to a second application, the first visual property has a second value (e.g., red) different from the first value.
Specifying a visual quality (e.g., color) of a notification based on the corresponding application provides the user with feedback that helps identify the application. 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.
After displaying the first instance of the first user interface, the electronic device displays (710) (e.g., in response to an input corresponding to a request to display the first user interface) a second instance (e.g., 614, as depicted in
In accordance with (712) a determination that a set of interaction criteria (a set of criteria relating to whether the first set of data has been interacted with (e.g., via selection of the first notification)) are met, the set of interaction criteria including a criterion that is met when the first set of data has been displayed (e.g., displayed in the first instance of the first user interface, displayed in a subsequent instance of the first user interface, displayed on the electronic device, displayed on a second electronic device that receives the same notifications as the electronic device (e.g., because both are associated with the same user account)), and in accordance with a determination that a first set of removal criteria (e.g., a set of criteria that govern display of a notification that corresponds to data that has been interacted with) are not met, the first set of removal criteria including a first criterion that is based on a first period of time (e.g., a period time that must be exceeded to meet the first criterion; a period of time determined from when the first set of data was received or generated; a period of time determined from when a notification corresponding to the first set of data was first displayed; a non-zero period of time), the second instance of the first user interface includes the first notification (
In accordance with (714) a determination that the set of interaction criteria are met and in accordance with a determination that the first set of removal criteria are met, the second instance of the first user interface does not include the first notification (
In accordance with (716) a determination that the set of interaction criteria are not met and in accordance with a determination that a second set of removal criteria (e.g., a set of criteria that govern display of a notification that corresponds to data that has not been interacted with) are not met, the second set of removal criteria including a second criterion that is based on a second period of time (e.g., a period time that must be exceeded to meet the second criterion; a period of time determined from when the first set of data was received or generated; a period of time determined from when a notification corresponding to the first set of data was first displayed) that is greater than the first period of time, the second instance of the first user interface includes the first notification (
In accordance with (718) a determination that the set of interaction criteria are not met and in accordance with a determination that the second set of removal criteria are met, the second instance of the first user interface does not include the first notification (
Displaying the first notification based on whether the set of interaction criteria and the sets of removal criteria are met enables the user to view relevant notifications without providing unwanted notifications. Performing an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input 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, prior to displaying the first instance of the first user interface, the electronic device receives, from an external device (e.g., a smart watch that includes one or more sensors (e.g., biometric sensors)), a second set of data, wherein the first set of data corresponds to the second set of data (e.g., 610). In some embodiments, the external device is in a paired relationship with the electronic device (e.g., both devices are associated with the same user account and have a persistent relationship). In some embodiments, the second set of data is the first set of data. In some embodiments, the second set of data is included in the first set of data. In some embodiments, the first set of data is derived from (e.g., calculated based on) the second set of data. In some embodiments, the second set of data is sensor data from one or more sensors of the external device. In some embodiments, the second set of data includes clinical health data (e.g., 604b) (e.g., medical records from a health institution; test results from a clinical testing lab).
In some embodiments, the electronic device includes a set of one or more sensors (e.g., biometric sensors). In some embodiments, prior to displaying the first instance of the first user interface, the electronic device receives (e.g., detecting), via the set of one or more sensors, a third set of data (e.g., 604a). In some embodiments, the first set of data corresponds to the third set of data. In some embodiments, the third set of data is the first set of data. In some embodiments, the third set of data is included in the first set of data. In some embodiments, the first set of data is derived from (e.g., calculated based on) the third set of data. In some embodiments, prior to displaying the first instance of the first user interface, the electronic device displays a second user interface (e.g., any user interface other than the summary tab of the health application, such as a lock screen) including a second notification corresponding to the third set of data. In some embodiments, the second user interface is different from the first user interface. In some embodiments, the second notification includes the same content as the first notification.
In some embodiments, the first notification is included in a first list of notifications. In some embodiments, the first list of notifications is ordered based on chronological or reverse chronological order (e.g., based on an initial notification issuance time; based on a time when data that is displayed when a respective notification is selected was generated or received) (e.g.,
Ordering the first list based on chronological or reverse chronological order structures provides the user with feedback about the sequence in which the notifications were generated. 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, while displaying the first notification (e.g., in the first instance or the second instance of the first user interface), the electronic device receives a first input (e.g., 615) corresponding to selection of the first notification. In some embodiments, in response to receiving the first input, the electronic device displays, via the first display device, a second user interface (e.g., 644) (e.g., that includes the first set of data. In some embodiments, the first set of data corresponds to a first application and the second user interface includes additional data and/or information from the first application.
In some embodiments, the first set of data corresponds to a first data type (e.g., biometric data, sensor data). In some embodiments, the second user interface includes: a first affordance that, when selected, causes display of a first value (e.g., a first average) of the first data type; and a second affordance that, when selected, causes display of a second value (e.g., a second average that based on a different filter (e.g., a time filter, a source filter) than the first average) of the first data type that is different from the first value (e.g., average and daily average affordances in 644).
Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 700 (e.g.,
As described below, method 800 provides an intuitive way for managing display of health-related information. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for viewing health-related information, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to view health-related information faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
The electronic device receives (802) first health data (e.g., physical activity performed by a user; data detected via one or more biometric sensors) (e.g., see 626b). In some embodiments, the first health data is received over a period of time. In some embodiments, the first health data is received together, as a set.
The electronic device receives (804) a request (e.g., 613) (e.g., a request to view a summary tab of a health application, such as a user tapping on an icon for the health application or a user tapping on an affordance for the summary tab) to display a first user interface (e.g., 614).
In response to receiving the request, the electronic device displays (806), via the display device, the first user interface (e.g., 614) including a first region (e.g., the favorites region in 614) (808) (e.g., favorites section). The first user region, in accordance with (812) a determination that a type of data (e.g., activity, environmental noise, etc.) corresponding to the first health data has been identified by user input (e.g., a user has favorited the type of data), includes a first representation (e.g., 626a) of the first health data (e.g., a number of steps made during a current day). The first user region, in accordance with (814) a determination that the type of data corresponding to the first health data has not been identified by user input (e.g., the user has not favorited the type of data), does not include the representation of the first health data.
In response to receiving the request, the electronic device displays (806), via the display device, the first user interface including a second region (e.g., the highlights region in 614) (810) (e.g., highlights section). The second region, in accordance with (816) a determination that a first set of highlight criteria are met (e.g., a system determines that the representation corresponding to the health data should be displayed to a user), includes a second representation (e.g., 630, 632652, 654, 656, 658, 660, 662) of the first health data different from the first representation (e.g., a graphical representation comparing health data for a first health metric over a first time period with health data for the first health metric over a second time period different from the first time period). In some embodiments, representations that are displayed in the second region are not user-customizable/user-selectable. In some embodiments, representations that are displayed in the second region include a comparison of the health data to health data that corresponds to a different period of time than the period time of the health data. The second region, in accordance with (818) a determination that the first set of highlight criteria are not met (e.g., a system determines that the representation corresponding to the health data should not be displayed to a user), does not include the second representation of the first health data.
Including the second representation of the first health data based on the first set of highlight criteria being met enables the device to display relevant information and to avoid using display space when the information is not relevant. Performing an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input 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 health data includes health data for a first plurality of time periods (e.g., days, weeks, months). In some embodiments, the first representation of the health data includes: a first indication (e.g., a text indication, a graphical indication; an indication of a first metric (e.g., steps, miles, calories)) of the health data corresponding to a first time period (e.g., today) of the first plurality of time periods; and a second indication (e.g., a text indication, a graphical indication) of the health data corresponding to a second time period (e.g., yesterday) of the first plurality of time periods that is different from the first time period. In some embodiments, the first representation includes a bar graph having values for today compared to values for yesterday (e.g., 632).
Providing different indications for different time periods provides the user with feedback about the stored data that corresponds to the respective time periods. 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, the first time period of the first plurality of time periods corresponds to a specific instance of a recurring time interval (e.g., specific hours of a day, specific day in a week or a month). In some embodiments, the second time period of the first plurality of time periods is a plurality of instances. In some embodiments, all of the instances of the recurring time interval available in the health data) of the recurring time interval (e.g., multiple Mondays of weeks; multiple mornings of days). In some embodiments, the first indication is a value of a health metric for the Mondays of a week and the second indication is an average value of the health metric for all Mondays (e.g., 662).
In some embodiments, the health data includes health data for a second plurality of time periods (e.g., days, weeks, months). In some embodiments, the first representation of the health data includes a third indication of the health data corresponding to the frequency (e.g., as a ratio, as a percentage, as a fraction (e.g., 4 days out of the last week)) of the occurrence of a first health event (e.g., a health-related event) within the second plurality of time periods (e.g., a day, a week, a year) (e.g., 654).
In some embodiments, the health data includes health data for a third plurality of time periods (e.g., days, weeks, months). In some embodiments, the first representation of the health data includes: a fourth indication of an average value of the health data for the third plurality of time periods (e.g., an average for the week); a fifth indication corresponding to the value of the health data for a first time period of the third plurality of time periods (e.g., a day within the week); and a sixth indication corresponding to the value of the health data for a second time period of the third plurality of time periods (e.g., a day within the week) that is different from the first time period of the plurality of time periods (e.g., 652).
In some embodiments, the first representation includes a seventh indication corresponding to a first physical activity tracking session (e.g., a first workout). In some embodiments, the first representation includes an eighth indication corresponding to a second physical activity tracking session. In some embodiments, the first and second physical activity tracking sessions are different types of workouts (e.g., running and swimming). In some embodiments, the first physical activity tracking session and the second physical activity tracking session correspond to the same time period (e.g., same day, same week, same month). In some embodiments, a ninth indication of the health data (e.g., total calories burned, an average pace) that is based on the first physical activity tracking session and the second physical activity tracking session (e.g., 658).
Displaying an indication of the health data that is based on the first and second physical activity tracking sessions provides the user with feedback, using the indication, about both the sessions. 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, the first set of highlight criteria includes a criterion that is based on a factor selected from the group consisting of: a relationship (e.g., a mathematical relationship (e.g., a difference)) between a first portion (e.g., a portion corresponding to a first time period (e.g., a day)) of the health data and a second portion (e.g., a portion corresponding to a second time period (e.g., a week)) of the health data, a degree of user interaction with the health data, and a duration of time in which a representation (e.g., any representation) of the health data has been displayed (e.g., on the electronic device).
In some embodiments, the first representation is included in a first list of representation. In some embodiments, the first list of representations is ordered based on the types of data of the health data (e.g., physical activity data is grouped together; heart-related data is grouped together) (e.g., 660).

For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to access clinical health records faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
The electronic device receives (902) clinical health record data corresponding to a particular health institution (e.g., 672a, XYZ Medical Center in 698). The electronic device receives (904) a request (e.g., 667, tap first health records affordance 636 in summary user interface 614) (e.g., a request to view all clinical health records for XYZ Medical Center) to display a first user interface (e.g., 668, 698).

The first user interface includes a first region (e.g., 672, 698a) (908) corresponding to a first type of clinical health record (e.g., 668b, 698a, a lab results region). The first region includes, in accordance with (912) a determination that a first clinical health record of the first type of clinical health record fails to meet a first set of graphing criteria (e.g., the first clinical health record either (1) does not include a range for the first clinical health record or (2) includes binary information (which, in some examples, does not achieve benefit from graphing)), a first textual representation (e.g., 672b, 672c, 698b, 698c) for the first clinical health record based on the clinical health record data, wherein the first user interface does not include a graphical representation (e.g., a non-textual graphical representation) for the first clinical health record. The first region includes, in accordance with (914) a determination that the first clinical health meets the first set of graphing criteria (e.g., the first clinical health record includes a range for the first clinical health record and includes non-binary information (which, in some examples, achieves benefit from graphing)), a first graphical representation (e.g., 672d in 668) (e.g., 670b and 670c in 698) for the first clinical health record based on the clinical health record data.
In response to receiving the request, the electronic device displays (906), via the display device, the first user interface including a second region (e.g., a different date range in 668, the medications region in 698) (910) corresponding to a second type of clinical health record (e.g., medications region). The second region includes, in accordance with (916) a determination that a second clinical health record of the second type of clinical health record fails to meet the first set of graphing criteria (e.g., the second clinical health record either (1) does not include a range for the second clinical health record or (2) includes binary information (which, in some examples, does not achieve benefit from graphing)), a second textual representation for the second clinical health record based on the clinical health record data, wherein the user interface does not include a graphical representation for the second clinical health record. The second reason includes, in accordance with (918) a determination that the second clinical health record meets the first set of graphing criteria (e.g., the second clinical health record includes a range for the second clinical health record and includes non-binary information (which, in some examples, achieves benefit from graphing)), a second graphical representation for the second clinical health record based on the clinical health record data.
Displaying textual representations or graphical representations for health records provides the user with feedback about whether the health record meets the graphing criteria and enables the user to more quickly and efficient access information related to the record.

In some embodiments, in accordance with a first set of graphic criteria is met, the first representation includes a graphical indication of the first clinical health record (e.g., a graph of the health data in the clinical health record). In some embodiments, the first set of graphic criteria are met when the clinical health record includes non-binary numeric data (e.g., data sufficient to provide a multi-point graph). In some embodiments, in accordance with the first set of graphic criteria not being met, the first representation does not include the graphical indication of the first clinical health record (e.g., a graph of the health data in the clinical health record). In some embodiments, the first set of graphic criteria are met when the clinical health record includes non-binary numeric data (e.g., data sufficient to provide a multi-point graph).
In some embodiments, the first representation includes a first detail (e.g., first information, first piece of data, within the record) of the first clinical health record. In some embodiments, the second representation includes the first detail and a second detail, different from the first detail, of the first clinical health record.

In some embodiments, the graphical representation includes an indication of a relationship (e.g., a comparison) between a first sub-portion of the first clinical health record data and a second sub-portion of the first clinical health record data.
In some embodiments, the second user interface includes a first affordance. In some embodiments, the electronic device receives an input corresponding to selection of the first affordance. In some embodiments, in response to receiving the input corresponding to selection of the first affordance, the electronic device visually distinguishes (e.g., emphasizing, highlighting, deemphasizing) a portion of the graphical representation that corresponds to a first sub-portion of the first portion of the first clinical health record data that matches a first filter condition (e.g., a filter that identifies data that falls outside of a clinical range (e.g., a healthy range) for the first clinical health record data).
Visually distinguishing a portion of the graphical representation that corresponds to an aspect that matches a first filter condition provides the user with feedback that the first filter condition has been matched. 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, the first clinical health record of the first type of clinical health record was received from (e.g., was sourced from, was generated by) a first data source (e.g., data supplier; a clinical health data source (e.g., a clinician)). In some embodiments, the second clinical health record of the first type of clinical health record was received from a second data source that is different from the first data source.
In some embodiments, the fourth representation includes an indication of a data source (e.g., data provider) of the first clinical health record. In some embodiments, the fourth representation includes an indication of a primary identifier (e.g., a primary name, such as Hemoglobin A1c) of the first type of clinical health record and a secondary identifier (e.g., secondary or alternative name, such as Gylcated Hemoglobin, Glycosylated Hemoglobin, and HbAl c) of the first type of clinical health record. In some embodiments, the fourth representation includes an indication of a first date corresponding to when the first clinical health record was received by the electronic device and an indication of a second date corresponding to when the first clinical health record was created (e.g., created by the electronic device or externally).
Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 1000 (e.g.,
As described below, method 1100 provides an intuitive way for display of health-related information. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for viewing health-related information, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to view health-related information faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
The electronic device receives (1102) request (e.g., request to view search user interface 684) to display a first user interface (e.g., search user interface 684) (e.g., a request to view a search tab of a health application, such as a user tapping on an icon for the health application or a user tapping on an affordance for the search tab).
In response to receiving the first request, the electronic device displays (1104), via the display device, the first user interface (e.g., search user interface 684) (e.g., the search tab of the health application). The first user interface includes a first portion (e.g., 684c) (1106) (e.g., a health category section), including a first category affordance (e.g., 684ca) (e.g., activity affordance) (e.g., a category of health data; a category of biometric sensor data; an activity category). The first user interface includes a second portion (e.g., 684b) (1108) (e.g., a shared health data section) including a first shared affordance (e.g., 684ba) (e.g., Little Appleseed affordance) corresponding to a second user account (e.g., Little Appleseed account). In some embodiments, the second portion is included in the first user interface in accordance with a determination that the first user account is associated with a second user account (e.g., a child account) different from the first user account.
While (1110) displaying the first user interface, the electronic device receives (1112) first user input corresponding to selection of the first category affordance. While (1110) displaying the first user interface, the electronic device receives (1114) second user input corresponding to selection of the first shared affordance.
In response to receiving the first user input, the electronic device displays (1116), via the display device, a second user interface (e.g., 686) (e.g., a user interface with health data for the selected health category, such as activity, for a user's account associated with the electronic device), including a representation (e.g., 686a) of first health data (e.g., a first discrete health record) associated with the first user account for the first category (e.g., activity).
In response to receiving the second user input, the electronic device displays (1118), via the display device, a third user interface (e.g., 690) (e.g., a user interface with health categories for Little Appleseed). The third user interface includes a first portion (e.g., 692b). The first portion includes a second category affordance (e.g., an activity affordance) corresponding to health data associated with the second user account for the first category (e.g., activity).
While displaying the third user interface, the electronic device receives (1120) third user input corresponding to selection of the second category affordance. In response to receiving the third user input, the electronic device displays (1122), via the display device, a fourth user interface (e.g., 694) (e.g., a user interface with health data for the selected health category, such as activity, for Little Appleseed), including a representation (e.g., 694c) of health data associated with the second user account for the first category.
In some embodiments, the first health data associated with the first user account for the first category is also associated with the first user account for a second category (e.g., the first health data is represented in multiple categories accessible from the first user interface). In some embodiments, the first user interface includes a second category affordance corresponding to health data associated with the first user account for a second category different from the first category and, in response to a user input corresponding to the second category affordance, an additional (e.g., a fourth) user interface is displayed that includes the first health data (e.g., 688).
In some embodiments, the fourth user interface does not include an option (e.g., an editing affordance; any options) for modifying the representation of health data associated with the second user account for the first category (or, in some embodiments, for modifying the health data associated with the second user account for the first category).
In some embodiments, while displaying the first user interface, the electronic device receives a first set of inputs corresponding to a request to search health data accessible to the electronic device (e.g., health data stored on the electronic device, health data stored on a remote device (e.g., a server) that is accessible to the electronic device), including one or more inputs corresponding to entry of a search string (e.g., a text string of one or more characters). In some embodiments, the first user interface includes a search field and the one or more inputs correspond to entry of the search string are provided in the search field (e.g.,
In some embodiments, in response to receiving the set of inputs, the electronic device displays a plurality of search results including: a first set of one or more search results including a representation of second health data associated with the first user account, wherein the second health data associated with the first user account is associated with a first source (e.g., one or more sensors of the electronic device, one or more sensors of an external device that is associated with the first user account, an external device that is not associated with the first user account (e.g., a clinical source)); and a second set of one or more search results including a representation of third health data associated with the first user account, wherein the third health data associated with the first user account is associated with a second source different from the first source (e.g.,
Displaying search results including representations of health data from different sources provides the user with feedback about health data from varying sources on a single user interface. 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, as a part of displaying the plurality of search results, the electronic device ceases to display the first portion and the second portion of the first user interface (e.g.,
Ceasing to display the first portion and the second portion of the first user interface enables the device to display other content at those same locations. Increasing the availability of display space for content 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 user interface includes a third portion (e.g., 684d) including a first health record affordance that, when selected, displays a representation of health data associated with the first user account that was received from a first external source (e.g., clinical health records; health records provided by a medical professional).
In some embodiments, the representation of health data associated with the first user account for the first category corresponds to health data that satisfied a set of formatting criteria (e.g., a set of criteria that governs whether data is displayable in the second user interface). In some embodiments, health data (e.g., clinical health data) that is accessible to the first electronic device is sorted based on whether the data is in a format that can be parsed by one or more parsing processes. In some embodiments, the third portion includes a first affordance. In some embodiments, the electronic device receives a fourth user input corresponding to selection of the first affordance. In some embodiments, in response to receiving the fourth user input, the electronic device displays a set of health data that did not satisfy the set of formatting criteria (e.g., 684f).
Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 1100 (e.g.,
Health user interface 1304 relates to health data for a user associated with first electronic device 600 (e.g., the user logged into a first account via first electronic device 600). Health user interface 1304 includes a number of affordances, including child's health data affordance 1304a. In some examples, selection of child's health data affordance 1304a causes a user interface (e.g., share user interface 1306 as depicted in
Share user interface 1306 includes request affordance 1304a. Selection of request affordance 1304a causes a request to be sent to a second electronic device (e.g., second electronic device 1308) for the second electronic device to share health data with first electronic device 600. In some examples, before displaying share user interface 1306, a user interface to identify an account for which to request to share is displayed (e.g., to identify Emma's account) (not illustrated).
As depicted in
In some examples, selection of don't allow affordance 1323b causes second electronic device 1308 to not share health data with first electronic device 600. In some examples, selection of don't allow affordance 1323b also causes health data from second electronic device 1308 to not be backed up to another device (e.g., a backup server) due to the selection causing there to not be memory allocated for second electronic device 1308 on a backup server (e.g., health cloud space is not created for the second account when second electronic device 1308 selects don't allow affordance 1323b). In other examples, selection of don't allow affordance 1323b causes health data from second electronic device 1308 to still be backed up to another device (e.g., a backup server) (e.g., health cloud space is created for the second account when second electronic device 1308 selects don't allow affordance 1323b). In some examples, backup data associated with second electronic device 1308 is separate from backup data associated with first electronic device 600 (e.g., first electronic device 600 stores its health data in a separate location from second electronic device 1308).
Health data section 1314 includes health data affordance 1314a and stop affordance 1314b. In some examples, health data affordance 1314a, when selected, causes first electronic device 600 to display a user interface (e.g., a user interface corresponding to the health application) with health data corresponding to Emma (e.g., the user associated with second electronic device 1308). An example of such a user interface is depicted in
In some examples, stop affordance 1314b, when selected, causes first electronic device 600 to (1) stop receiving health data corresponding to second electronic device 1308 and (2) delete any health data corresponding to second electronic device 1308 that is stored in memory associated with first electronic device 600 (e.g., health data corresponding to second electronic device 1308 is not deleted from second electronic device 1308 or another device used to backup health data corresponding to second electronic device 1308 (e.g., a backup server)).
As depicted in
Sharing options user interface 1318 includes stop affordance 1318a, backup affordance 1318b, and off affordance 1318c. Selection of stop affordance 1318a causes second electronic device 1308 to initiate a process to stop sharing health data with first electronic device 600. The process causes first electronic device 600 to (1) stop receiving health data corresponding to second electronic device 1308 and (2) delete any health data corresponding to second electronic device 1308 that is stored in memory associated with first electronic device 600 (e.g., health data corresponding to second electronic device 1308 is not deleted from second electronic device 1308 or another device used to backup health data corresponding to second electronic device 1308 (e.g., a backup server)). In some examples, selection of stop affordance 1318a causes multiple devices (in addition to first electronic device 600) (e.g., all devices for which second electronic device 1308 is sharing health data with) to (1) stop receiving health data corresponding to second electronic device 1308 and (2) delete any health data corresponding to second electronic device 1308 that is stored in memory associated with the respective device 600 (e.g., health data corresponding to second electronic device 1308 is not deleted from second electronic device 1308 or another device used to backup health data corresponding to second electronic device 1308 (e.g., a backup server)).
In some examples, selection of stop affordance 1318a does not stop second electronic device 1308 from sharing health data with another device used to backup health data corresponding to second electronic device 1308 (e.g., a backup server) (e.g., second electronic device 1308 continues to backup health data to the backup server). In some examples, selection of stop affordance 1318a also causes health data section 1314 to be removed from health user interface 1304 on first electronic device 600. In some examples, when first electronic device 600 is receiving health data from at least one other device according to techniques described herein, selection of stop affordance 1318a causes user interface elements related to second electronic device 1308 to be removed from health data section 1314 but health data section 1314 will still be included in health user interface 1304 on first electronic device 600 for the other device.
Selection of backup affordance 1318b causes second electronic device 1308 to stop sending health data to another device used to backup health data corresponding to second electronic device 1308 (e.g., a backup server). In some examples, selection of backup affordance 1318b also causes the other device to delete health data corresponding to second electronic device 1308 such that the health data corresponding to second electronic device 130 is only stored on second electronic device 1308.
Selection of off affordance 1318c causes second electronic device 1308 to (1) turn off (e.g., stop) collection of health data corresponding to second electronic device 1308, (2) stop sending health data to another device used to backup health data corresponding to second electronic device 1308 (e.g., a backup server), (3) cause other devices to delete health data corresponding to second electronic device 1308 such that the health data corresponding to second electronic device 1308 is not stored on other devices, or (4) any combination thereof.
As described below, method 1400 provides an intuitive way for related to sharing health data. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing shared health data, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to manage shared health data faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
The first electronic device receives (1402) a request (e.g., 1307) to share health data associated with (e.g., detected by) the first electronic device. In some embodiments, the request to share is sent to the first electronic device in response to a second electronic device requesting that the first electronic device share health data.
In response to receiving the request, the first electronic device displays (1404), via the display device at a first time, a first notification (e.g., 1312) (e.g., a notification indicating that the second electronic device is requesting that the first electronic device share health data with the first electronic device), including a first affordance (e.g., 1323a) (e.g., an allow affordance) that, when selected, initiates a process for sharing of health data, associated with the first electronic device, with a second electronic device.
While displaying the notification, the first electronic device receives (1406) a first user input corresponding to selection of the first affordance.
In response to receiving the first user input, the first electronic device initiates (1408) a process for sharing of health data, associated with the first electronic device, with the second electronic device.
After (1410) receiving the first user input, the first electronic device shares (1412) health data associated with the first electronic device with the second electronic device. In some embodiments, the sending is performed in response to receiving the first user input. After (1410) receiving the first user input, the first electronic device displays (1414), via the display device at a second time, a second notification (e.g., 1316) (e.g., a notification to confirm that a user associated with the first electronic device wishes to share health data with the second electronic device) corresponding to the sharing of health data, the second notification including a second affordance (e.g., 1316a) that, when selected, initiates a process to end sharing of health data, associated with the first electronic device, with the second electronic device. In some embodiments, the second notification is displayed at a different time than the sending, such as a few days after receiving the first user input. In some embodiments, the second notification is displayed after the sending. In some embodiments, while displaying the second notification, receiving a set of one or more inputs that includes an input corresponding to selection of a third affordance (e.g., 1318a); and in response to receiving the set of one or more inputs (e.g., 1319), ceasing to share health data, associated with the first electronic device, with the second electronic device.
Displaying a notification that enables a user to end sharing of health data provides the user with feedback that the health data is being shared and enables the user to more efficiently access the interface for ending the sharing of the health data. Providing improved visual feedback to the user and reducing the number of inputs needed to perform an operation enhance 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, while displaying the second notification, the first electronic device receives a set of one or more inputs that includes an input corresponding to selection of the second affordance (e.g., 1317). In some embodiments, in response to receiving the set of one or more inputs, the first electronic device ceases to share health data, associated with the first electronic device, with the second electronic device.
In some embodiments, after receiving the first user input, the first electronic device shares health data associated with the first electronic device with a third electronic device (e.g., a server storing health related data associated with the first electronic device). In some embodiments, after receiving the set of one or more inputs, the first electronic device continues to share health data associated with the first electronic device with the third electronic device (e.g., selection of the second affordance does not cause the device to stop sharing health data with the third electronic device).
In some embodiments, the first notification includes a third affordance (e.g., 1323b) (e.g., a “do not allow sharing” affordance) that, when selected: causes the first electronic device to forgo initiating a process for sharing of health data, associated with the first electronic device, with the second electronic device (and, in some embodiments, transmitting information to the second electronic device indicating that the request to share health data was not granted); and causes the first electronic device to transmit a request to a fourth electronic device (e.g., a server storing health related data associated with the first electronic device) to accept health data (e.g., to allocate storage resources to accept health data) associated with the first electronic device.
In some embodiments, the first notification includes a fourth affordance (e.g., 1323b) (e.g., a “do not allow sharing” affordance) that, when selected: causes the first electronic device to forgo initiating a process for sharing of health data, associated with the first electronic device, with the second electronic device (and, in some embodiments, transmitting information to the second electronic device indicating that the request to share health data was not granted); and causes the first electronic device to transmit a request to a fifth electronic device (e.g., a server storing health related data associated with the first electronic device) to accept health data (e.g., to allocate storage resources to accept health data) associated with the first electronic device.
In some embodiments, the first electronic device is associated with a first user account (e.g., a primary user account; a health-related user account) and second electronic device is associated with a second user account that is different from the first user account.
Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 1400 (e.g.,
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 improve the management and delivery of health information to users. The present disclosure contemplates that in some instances, this gathered data can 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 deliver appropriate notifications and health summaries to the user. Accordingly, use of such personal information data enables users to manage their health information more efficiently. Further, other uses for personal information data that benefit the user are also contemplated by the present disclosure. For instance, health and fitness data can be used to provide insights into a user's general wellness, or can 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, in the case of accessing or storing health information, 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 certain types of health-related information. In yet another example, users can select to limit the length of time health-related information is maintained or entirely prohibit the storage of health-related information. 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.
