The present disclosure relates generally to computer user interfaces, and more specifically to techniques for managing media playback devices.
The number of electronic devices, and particularly smart devices, in users' homes continues to increase. These devices are becoming increasingly complex, capable of being interconnected with each other, and capable of performing more complicated tasks. As such, these devices can benefit from additional methods and interfaces for managing media playback.
Some techniques for managing media playback devices using electronic devices, however, are generally cumbersome and inefficient. For example, some existing techniques use a complex and time-consuming user interface, which may include multiple key presses or keystrokes. Existing techniques require more time than necessary, wasting user time and device energy. This latter consideration is particularly important in battery-operated devices.
Accordingly, the present technique provides electronic devices with faster, more efficient methods and interfaces for managing media playback devices. Such methods and interfaces optionally complement or replace other methods for controlling media playback. 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.

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 some embodiments, the electronic device is a computer system that is in communication (e.g., via wireless communication, via wired communication) with a display generation component. The display generation component is configured to provide visual output, such as display via a CRT display, display via an LED display, or display via image projection. In some embodiments, the display generation component is integrated with the computer system. In some embodiments, the display generation component is separate from the computer system. As used herein, “displaying” content includes causing to display the content (e.g., video data rendered or decoded by display controller 156) by transmitting, via a wired or wireless connection, data (e.g., image data or video data) to an integrated or external display generation component to visually produce the content.
In the discussion that follows, an electronic device that includes a display and a touch-sensitive surface is described. It should be understood, however, that the electronic device optionally includes one or more other physical user-interface devices, such as a physical keyboard, a mouse, and/or a joystick.
The device typically supports a variety of applications, such as one or more of the following: a drawing application, a presentation application, a word processing application, a website creation application, a disk authoring application, a spreadsheet application, a gaming application, a telephone application, a video conferencing application, an e-mail application, an instant messaging application, a workout support application, a photo management application, a digital camera application, a digital video camera application, a web browsing application, a digital music player application, and/or a digital video player application.
The various applications that are executed on the device optionally use at least one common physical user-interface device, such as the touch-sensitive surface. One or more functions of the touch-sensitive surface as well as corresponding information displayed on the device are, optionally, adjusted and/or varied from one application to the next and/or within a respective application. In this way, a common physical architecture (such as the touch-sensitive surface) of the device optionally supports the variety of applications with user interfaces that are intuitive and transparent to the user.
Attention is now directed toward embodiments of portable devices with touch-sensitive displays.
As used in the specification and claims, the term “intensity” of a contact on a touch-sensitive surface refers to the force or pressure (force per unit area) of a contact (e.g., a finger contact) on the touch-sensitive surface, or to a substitute (proxy) for the force or pressure of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface. The intensity of a contact has a range of values that includes at least four distinct values and more typically includes hundreds of distinct values (e.g., at least 256). Intensity of a contact is, optionally, determined (or measured) using various approaches and various sensors or combinations of sensors. For example, one or more force sensors underneath or adjacent to the touch-sensitive surface are, optionally, used to measure force at various points on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, force measurements from multiple force sensors are combined (e.g., a weighted average) to determine an estimated force of a contact. Similarly, a pressure-sensitive tip of a stylus is, optionally, used to determine a pressure of the stylus on the touch-sensitive surface. Alternatively, the size of the contact area detected on the touch-sensitive surface and/or changes thereto, the capacitance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate to the contact and/or changes thereto, and/or the resistance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate to the contact and/or changes thereto are, optionally, used as a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are used directly to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is described in units corresponding to the substitute measurements). In some implementations, the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are converted to an estimated force or pressure, and the estimated force or pressure is used to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is a pressure threshold measured in units of pressure). Using the intensity of a contact as an attribute of a user input allows for user access to additional device functionality that may otherwise not be accessible by the user on a reduced-size device with limited real estate for displaying affordances (e.g., on a touch-sensitive display) and/or receiving user input (e.g., via a touch-sensitive display, a touch-sensitive surface, or a physical/mechanical control such as a knob or a button).
As used in the specification and claims, the term “tactile output” refers to physical displacement of a device relative to a previous position of the device, physical displacement of a component (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface) of a device relative to another component (e.g., housing) of the device, or displacement of the component relative to a center of mass of the device that will be detected by a user with the user's sense of touch. For example, in situations where the device or the component of the device is in contact with a surface of a user that is sensitive to touch (e.g., a finger, palm, or other part of a user's hand), the tactile output generated by the physical displacement will be interpreted by the user as a tactile sensation corresponding to a perceived change in physical characteristics of the device or the component of the device. For example, movement of a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch-sensitive display or trackpad) is, optionally, interpreted by the user as a “down click” or “up click” of a physical actuator button. In some cases, a user will feel a tactile sensation such as an “down click” or “up click” even when there is no movement of a physical actuator button associated with the touch-sensitive surface that is physically pressed (e.g., displaced) by the user's movements. As another example, movement of the touch-sensitive surface is, optionally, interpreted or sensed by the user as “roughness” of the touch-sensitive surface, even when there is no change in smoothness of the touch-sensitive surface. While such interpretations of touch by a user will be subject to the individualized sensory perceptions of the user, there are many sensory perceptions of touch that are common to a large majority of users. Thus, when a tactile output is described as corresponding to a particular sensory perception of a user (e.g., an “up click,” a “down click,” “roughness”), unless otherwise stated, the generated tactile output corresponds to physical displacement of the device or a component thereof that will generate the described sensory perception for a typical (or average) user.

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.

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. 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.

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

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 embodiments, device 500 has one or more input mechanisms 506 and 508. Input mechanisms 506 and 508, if included, can be physical. Examples of physical input mechanisms include push buttons and rotatable mechanisms. In some embodiments, device 500 has one or more attachment mechanisms. Such attachment mechanisms, if included, can permit attachment of device 500 with, for example, hats, eyewear, earrings, necklaces, shirts, jackets, bracelets, watch straps, chains, trousers, belts, shoes, purses, backpacks, and so forth. These attachment mechanisms permit device 500 to be worn by a user.
Input mechanism 508 is, optionally, a microphone, in some examples. Personal electronic device 500 optionally includes various sensors, such as GPS sensor 532, accelerometer 534, directional sensor 540 (e.g., compass), gyroscope 536, motion sensor 538, and/or a combination thereof, all of which can be operatively connected to I/O section 514.
Memory 518 of personal electronic device 500 can include one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums, for storing computer-executable instructions, which, when executed by one or more computer processors 516, for example, can cause the computer processors to perform the techniques described below, including processes 700, 800, 1000, and 1200 (
As used here, the term “affordance” refers to a user-interactive graphical user interface object that is, optionally, displayed on the display screen of devices 100, 300, and/or 500 (
As used herein, the term “focus selector” refers to an input element that indicates a current part of a user interface with which a user is interacting. In some implementations that include a cursor or other location marker, the cursor acts as a “focus selector” so that when an input (e.g., a press input) is detected on a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touchpad 355 in
As used in the specification and claims, the term “characteristic intensity” of a contact refers to a characteristic of the contact based on one or more intensities of the contact. In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is based on multiple intensity samples. The characteristic intensity is, optionally, based on a predefined number of intensity samples, or a set of intensity samples collected during a predetermined time period (e.g., 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 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.
Electronic device 580 includes speaker 586 for outputting audio. Device 580 can include audio circuitry (e.g., in I/O section 594) that receives audio data, converts the audio data to an electrical signal, and transmits the electrical signal to speaker 586. Speaker 586 converts the electrical signal to human-audible sound waves. The audio circuitry (e.g., in I/O section 594) also receives electrical signals converted by a microphone (e.g., input mechanism 588) from sound waves. The audio circuitry (e.g., in I/O section 594) converts the electrical signal to audio data. Audio data is, optionally, retrieved from and/or transmitted to memory 598 and/or RF circuitry (e.g., in communication unit 590) by I/O section 594.
Memory 598 of personal electronic device 580 can include one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums, for storing computer-executable instructions, which, when executed by one or more computer processors 596, for example, can cause the computer processors to perform the techniques described below, including processes 700, 800, 1000, and 1200 (
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, device 500, or device 580.
In some embodiments, the figures depict indicators 602A, 602B, 604A, 604B, and 634B to indicate different audio outputs at each of the devices. For example, indicator 602A indicates a first song is being played (output) at device 600, and indicator 602B indicates the first song is being played at device 605. Similarly, indicator 604A indicates a second song, different from the first song, is being played at device 600, and indicator 604B indicates the second song is being played at device 605. Indicator 634B indicates communication audio is being output at device 605. The indicators are displayed having different sizes to represent the volume at which the respective audio is being output. In the embodiments depicted in

Device 600 provides tactile feedback by generating a slight tactile output 606, and generates visual feedback by displaying pill interface object 615 and beginning to blur 603-1 home interface 603 (the slight blurring is represented by large diamond hatching noted with reference 603-1). Device 600 also generates an audio feedback by reducing the volume of the first song, as depicted by indicator 602A-4. Pill interface object 615 (also referred to herein as pill 615) includes text 615-1 that identifies device 605 (identified in this example as “Kitchen Speaker”) and provides instructions to a user of device 600 to move device 600 closer to device 605 or to tap pill 615 to display controls for device 605. Pill 615 also includes representation 615-2 of device 605 and representation 615-3 of the first song (e.g., album art) that is being played at device 600, which is the song that, in this example, is capable of being transferred to device 605.
Device 605 generates visual feedback by displaying light 607 (e.g., via display 605-2) and generates audio feedback by beginning to play the first song as depicted by indicator 602B-1. The output of the first song at device 605 is at a low volume and is in sync with playback of the first song at device 600, so that both device 600 and device 605 are playing the first song simultaneously, but at different volumes. In some embodiments, the audio feedback at device 605 is generated such that the first song, as outputted by device 605, has one or more audio characteristics (e.g., pitch, tone, frequency range) that approximate audio output by the audio hardware output of device 600. For example, the first song can be played at device 605 with audio characteristics that sound tinnier (e.g., having less bass, having a higher pitched frequency range) than the normal audio characteristics with which device 605 would playback the first song after transfer is complete (e.g., as described with respect to
The feedback at devices 600 and 605 provides a cue to the user of device 600 that the first song can be transferred for playback at device 605, and provides instruction to the user to initiate the transfer of the song to device 605 by moving device 600 toward device 605 or by providing further input (e.g., touch input) at device 600. Although the first song is being output at device 605 as part of the audio feedback, playback of the first song has not transferred to device 605. In some embodiments, this is because device 600 still maintains control (e.g., primary control) of playback of the song. For example, device 600 controls whether the first song is playing, paused, stopped, or whether a different song is selected for playback. Additionally, if device 600 moves outside of outer threshold 610-1, the first song stops being played at device 605 and continues playing at full volume at device 600. In some embodiments, transfer is not complete until device 605 is playing back audio (e.g., the first song) without reference to the relative distance between device 600 and device 605. In some embodiments, transfer is not complete until device 600 is no longer outputting the audio that was transferred (e.g., no longer outputting audio feedback that includes playing back the audio (e.g., the first song)).
In some embodiments, device 605 initially pulses light 607 to a bright state with a large size when device 600 reaches outer threshold 610-1, and then slightly dims and shrinks the size of the light to the state depicted in

Controls interface 612 is a user interface that provides controls that can be used to control various operations using device 605. For example, controls interface 612 includes media playback controls 612-1, which can be selected to control the playback of audio at device 605. As shown in
Controls interface 612 also includes transfer affordance 614, which can be selected to immediately transfer playback of the first song from device 600 to device 605. As shown in

Specifically, device 600 varies the tactile feedback by generating stronger tactile output 613. In some embodiments, the tactile feedback varies based on the distance between device 600 and device 605. For example, as device 600 gets closer to device 605, the tactile outputs get stronger, and as device 600 moves away from device 605, the tactile outputs get weaker. In some embodiments, the tactile feedback varies based on the velocity and/or direction of movement of device 600 toward device 605. For example, if device 600 moves toward or away from device 605 slowly, the tactile feedback can include a series of disbursed, and optionally slight, tactile outputs as device 600 moves toward or away from device 605. Conversely, if device 600 moves toward or away from device 605 quickly, the tactile feedback can include a series of rapid, and optionally stronger, tactile outputs as device 600 moves toward or away from device 605. In some embodiments, as device 600 accelerates toward device 605, the tactile feedback can include a series of tactile outputs that increase in frequency and, optionally, strength as device 600 moves toward device 605. In some embodiments, the tactile output has characteristics that mimic the first song. For example, the tactile output has a pattern and, optionally, different magnitudes that imitate the beat of the first song.
Device 600 varies the audio feedback by decreasing the volume of the first song as depicted by indicator 602A-3. Device 600 varies the visual feedback by increasing the blur 603-2 of home interface 603 (the increased blur is represented by medium diamond hatching noted with reference 603-2) and increasing the size of pill 615, including increasing the sizes of text 615-1, representation 615-2, and representation 615-3. Additionally, device 600 displays representation 615-3 positioned closer to representation 615-2. Thus, as device 600 moves towards 605, the tactile output increases, the audio of the first song decreases, home interface 603 gets blurrier, pill 615 increases in size, and the album art for the first song moves toward the representation of device 605. The foregoing tactile, audio, and visual feedback actions individually, and collectively, provide feedback to the user indicating that playback of the first song will transfer from device 600, thereby encouraging the user to continue moving device 600 toward device 605 in order to transfer playback of the first song from device 600 to device 605.
Device 605 varies the audio feedback by increasing the volume of the first song as depicted by indicator 602B-2, and varies the visual feedback by increasing the size and brightness of light 607, and changing the color of light 607 to purple, as indicated by the hatch pattern of light 607. In some embodiments, as part of the feedback, device 605 animates light 607 while outputting the first song. For example, device 605 causes light 607 to change colors, flicker with the beat of the first song, and/or have an appearance of moving on display 605-2. The foregoing visual and audio feedback actions individually, and collectively, provide feedback to the user that the first audio will be played at device 605, thereby encouraging the user to continue moving device 600 toward device 605 in order to transfer playback of the first song to device 605.

In some embodiments, device 600 does not generate a tactile feedback depending on the context of device 600. For example, as shown in
Referring now to
As device 600 moves toward device 605, device 600 generates visual feedback that includes increasing the blur 603-3 of home interface 603 (the increased blur is represented by small diamond hatching noted with reference 603-3), increasing the size of pill 615 (including text 615-1 and representations 615-2 and 615-3), and moving representation 615-3 toward representation 615-2, as shown in

Referring again to
As previously discussed, as device 600 moves toward device 605, device 600 decreases the volume of the first song, and device 605 increases the volume of the first song. Upon reaching inner threshold 610-2, device 600 transfers playback of the first song to device 605. As part of this transfer, device 600 continues to decrease the volume of the first song, while device 605 continues to increase the volume of the first song, as depicted by indicator 602A-2 and indicator 602B-3, respectively. Additionally, during this transfer, the audio at device 605 changes from the tinny sound to a full, rich audio sound. These changes in volume continue as device 600 transfers playback of the first song to device 605, as shown in

As mentioned above, device 605 can play different types of audio and display light 607 having different colors based on the audio.
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 600) is a computer system (e.g., a smartphone, a smartwatch; a smart speaker; a media playback device (e.g., a digital media player)) that is in communication with a first external device (e.g., 605) (e.g., a smart speaker; a media playback device (e.g., a digital media player); a smartphone; a smartwatch). The computer system is optionally in communication (e.g., wired communication, wireless communication) with a display generation component (e.g., 601). The display generation component is configured to provide visual output, such as display via a CRT display, display via an LED display, or display via image projection. In some embodiments, the display generation component is integrated with the computer system. In some embodiments, the display generation component is separate from the computer system. Thus, the computer system can transmit, via a wired or wireless connection, data (e.g., image data or video data) to an integrated or external display generation component to visually produce the content (e.g., using a display device).
As described below, method 700 provides an intuitive way for managing media playback devices. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing media playback devices, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to manage media playback devices faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
In method 700, the computer system (e.g., 600) detects (702) a change in distance between the computer system and the first external device (e.g., 605). In some embodiments, the change in distance is detected based on a change in signal strength (e.g., wireless signal strength) exchanged between the system and the first external device. In some embodiments, the change in distance is detected via one or more sensors (e.g., infrared sensors; optical sensors). In some embodiments, the change in distance is detected via data transmitted to the system from a Wi-Fi positioning system, from GPS, and/or from the first external device.
In response (704) to detecting the change in distance, the computer system (e.g., 600) performs steps 706-712 of method 700.
In response to detecting the change in distance, in accordance with a determination that a current distance of the computer system (e.g., 600) from the first external device (e.g., 605) is less than a first threshold distance (e.g., 610-1) (e.g., a predetermined threshold distance (e.g., 6 inches, 12 inches, 18 inches); an outer threshold distance from the first external device) but greater than a second threshold distance (e.g., 610-2) (e.g., a predetermined threshold distance that is less than the first threshold distance (e.g., 4 inches, 8 inches, 12 inches); an inner threshold distance from the first external device), the computer system generates (706) (e.g., outputs; initiates; initiates a process to generate) feedback (e.g., at the computer system and/or at the first external device) (in some embodiments, without performing the first operation) that indicates that a first operation (e.g., transmitting data to the first external device (e.g., data handing off media from the computer system to the first external device); retrieving media or information about media currently playing on the first external device (e.g., to play back on the computer system) will be performed when the second threshold distance is reached. The feedback varies (e.g., generating the feedback includes varying the feedback) based at least in part on a distance of the computer system to the first external device (e.g., based on distance of the computer system to the first external device, and a direction of movement of the computer system relative to the first external device). Generating feedback that varies based at least in part on a distance of the computer system to the first external device and indicates that a first operation will be performed when the second threshold distance is reached provides instruction to a user of the computer system for action needed to cause the computer system to perform the first operation without requiring additional inputs from the user (e.g., input at a touchscreen) and provides feedback to the user indicating that continued movement toward the first external device will cause the computer system to perform the first operation. Providing instruction for causing the computer system to perform an operation without requiring additional inputs and providing improved feedback reduces the number of inputs at the computer system, enhances the operability of the computer system, and makes the user-system interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the system more quickly and efficiently.
Generating the feedback includes, in accordance with a determination that the change in distance includes movement of the computer system (e.g., 600) toward the first external device (e.g., 605) (e.g., the change in distance includes a decrease in the distance between the computer system and the first external device (in some embodiments, while remaining between the first threshold distance and the second threshold distance (e.g., the computer system is located at a first distance from the first external device, between the first threshold distance and the second threshold distance))), the computer system changes (708) a current value for a feedback parameter of the feedback in a first direction (e.g., in a first manner (e.g., increasing; decreasing)) (e.g., increasing an audio volume (e.g., at the first external device); decreasing an audio volume (e.g., at the computer system), increasing a tactile output frequency, increasing a tactile output amplitude, increasing a size of a user interface element, and/or increasing a brightness of a user interface element).
Generating the feedback includes, in accordance with a determination that the change in distance includes movement of the computer system (e.g., 600) away from the first external device (e.g., 605) (e.g., the change in distance includes an increase in the distance between the computer system and the first external device (in some embodiments, while remaining between the first threshold distance and the second threshold distance (e.g., the computer system is located at a second distance from the first external device, between the first threshold distance and the second threshold distance and greater than the first distance from the first external device))), the computer system changes (710) the current value for the feedback parameter of the feedback in a second direction that is different from the first direction (e.g., in a second manner (e.g., decreasing; increasing)) (e.g., decreasing an audio volume (e.g., at the first external device); increasing an audio volume (e.g., at the computer system), decreasing a tactile output frequency, decreasing a tactile output amplitude, decreasing a size of a user interface element, and/or decreasing a brightness of a user interface element).
In response to detecting the change in distance, in accordance with a determination that the current distance of the computer system (e.g., 600) from the first external device (e.g., 605) is less than the second threshold distance (e.g., 610-2), the computer system performs (712) the first operation (e.g., transmitting data to the first external device (e.g., data handing off media from the computer system to the first external device); retrieving media or information about media currently playing on the first external device (e.g., to play back on the computer system) (in some embodiments, performing the first operation and ceasing to vary the current value for the feedback parameter based on movement of the computer system relative to the first external device (e.g., ceasing to generate the feedback; disabling varying the current value for the feedback parameter based on movement of the computer system relative to the first external device)). In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the current distance of the computer system from the first external device is greater than the first threshold distance (e.g., 610-1) and the second threshold distance (e.g., 610-2), the computer system forgoes generating feedback (e.g., at the computer system; at the first external device) and forgoes performing the first operation.
In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) is in communication with a display generation component (e.g., 601) (e.g., a display controller, a touch-sensitive display system). In some embodiments, generating feedback includes displaying, via the display generation component, a first visual feedback (e.g., 603-1; 603-2; 603-3; 615; 615-1; 615-2; 615-3) (e.g., at the computer system). In some embodiments, the first visual feedback includes blurring a user interface (e.g., 603) and/or user interface object. In some embodiments, the first visual feedback includes displaying an indication of content (e.g., 615-3) (e.g., media content). In some embodiments, the first visual feedback includes displaying a user interface object (e.g., 615) (e.g., an affordance) that includes an indication (e.g., 615-2) of the first external device (e.g., 605) and, optionally, status information (e.g., 615-1) for the first external device. In some embodiments, the visual feedback is optionally gradually modified or generated and is based, for example, on movement of the computer system toward or away from the first external device. For example, as the computer system moves toward the first external device, the visual feedback gradually increases (e.g., a degree of blur gradually increases, the size of a user interface object gradually increases, a user interface object gradually moves toward another user interface object), and as the computer system moves away from the first external device, the visual feedback gradually decreases (e.g., a degree of blur gradually decreases, the size of a user interface object gradually decreases, a user interface object gradually moves away from another user interface object). Displaying a first visual feedback provides instruction to a user of the computer system for action needed to cause the computer system to perform the first operation without requiring additional inputs from the user (e.g., input at a touchscreen) and provides feedback to the user indicating that continued movement toward the first external device will cause the computer system to perform the first operation. Providing instruction for causing the computer system to perform an operation without requiring additional inputs and providing improved feedback reduces the number of inputs at the computer system, enhances the operability of the computer system, and makes the user-system interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the system more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) changes the current value for the feedback parameter of the feedback in the first direction, including increasing an amount (e.g., degree) of blur (e.g., 603-1; 603-2; 603-3) (e.g., decreasing resolution) of at least a portion of a user interface (e.g., 603) (e.g., increasing blurriness of a user interface and/or one or more objects displayed on the user interface). In some embodiments, the feedback parameter is blurriness (e.g., resolution). In some embodiments, changing the current value for the feedback parameter in the second direction includes decreasing the amount of blur (e.g., increasing resolution) of at least a portion of the user interface. In some embodiments, increasing the amount of blur of at least a portion of a user interface includes increasing blurriness of a background user interface without changing a blurriness of a user interface object (e.g., the background increases in blurriness while the pill affordance remains unchanged (with respect to blurriness)).
In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) changes the current value for the feedback parameter of the feedback in the first direction, including increasing a size (e.g., expanding; enlarging) of a first user interface object (e.g., 615) (e.g., an affordance; representing a “pill” view of a media control user interface). In some embodiments, the feedback parameter is size. In some embodiments, changing the current value for the feedback parameter in the second direction includes decreasing the size of the first user interface object.
In some embodiments, while the computer system (e.g., 600) is a first distance from the first external device (e.g., a distance depicted in diagram 610 of
In accordance with a determination that the current distance (e.g., after the second change in distance) of the computer system (e.g., 600) from the first external device (e.g., 605) is less than the second threshold distance (e.g., 610-2), the computer system displays the first user interface object (e.g., 615) transitioning (e.g., see controls interface 612′ in
In some embodiments, the first user interface object (e.g., 615) progressively expands as the computer system (e.g., 600) is between the first (e.g., 610-1) and second (e.g., 610-2) threshold distances and moving towards the first external device (e.g., 605) (and, in some embodiments, progressively contracts as the computer system moves away from the first external device). In some embodiments, when the computer system reaches the second threshold distance, the first user interface object transitions (e.g., “pops”) to a card appearance (e.g., 612′).
In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) changes the current value for the feedback parameter of the feedback in the first direction, including increasing a size (e.g., expanding; enlarging) of a representation (e.g., 615-2) (e.g., an image; an indication) of the first external device (e.g., 605). Increasing a size of a representation of the first external device provides feedback to a user of the computer system that the first operation is associated with the first external device, provides instruction to the user for action needed to cause the computer system to perform the first operation without requiring additional inputs from the user (e.g., input at a touchscreen), and provides feedback to the user indicating that continued movement toward the first external device will cause the computer system to perform the first operation. Providing instruction for causing the computer system to perform an operation without requiring additional inputs and providing improved feedback reduces the number of inputs at the computer system, enhances the operability of the computer system, and makes the user-system interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the system more quickly and efficiently. In some embodiments, the representation of the first external device is included in the first user interface object (e.g., 615) (e.g., the pill affordance). In some embodiments, changing the current value for the feedback parameter in the second direction includes decreasing the size of the representation of the first external device.
In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) changes the current value for the feedback parameter of the feedback in the first direction, including displaying a representation (e.g., 615-3) (e.g., an image; an indication; text; album artwork; text identifying the media content) of media content moving toward a representation (e.g., 615-2) (e.g., an image; an indication) of the first external device (e.g., 605). Displaying a representation of media content moving toward a representation of the first external device provides feedback to a user of the computer system that the first operation is associated playing media at the first external device, provides instruction to the user for action needed to cause the computer system to perform the first operation without requiring additional inputs from the user (e.g., input at a touchscreen), and provides feedback to the user indicating that continued movement toward the first external device will cause the computer system to perform the first operation. Providing instruction for causing the computer system to perform an operation without requiring additional inputs and providing improved feedback reduces the number of inputs at the computer system, enhances the operability of the computer system, and makes the user-system interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the system more quickly and efficiently. In some embodiments, the feedback parameter is a displayed position of the representation of the media content with respect to a representation of the first external device. In some embodiments, changing the current value for the feedback parameter in the second direction includes displaying the representation of the media moving away from the representation of the first external device.
In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) generates feedback, including causing display of a second visual feedback (e.g., 607) at the first external device (e.g., 605). Causing display of a second visual feedback at the first external device provides feedback to a user of the computer system that the first operation is associated with the first external device, provides instruction to the user for action needed to cause the computer system to perform the first operation without requiring additional inputs from the user (e.g., input at a touchscreen), and provides feedback to the user indicating that continued movement toward the first external device will cause the computer system to perform the first operation. Providing instruction for causing the computer system to perform an operation without requiring additional inputs and providing improved feedback reduces the number of inputs at the computer system, enhances the operability of the computer system, and makes the user-system interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the system more quickly and efficiently. In some embodiments, the second visual feedback includes displaying or modifying a graphical element (e.g., 605-2) at the first external device.
In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) changes the current value for the feedback parameter of the feedback in the first direction, including causing an increase in one or more of: a) a size of the first set of one or more graphical elements (e.g., a size of light 607) displayed at the first external device (e.g., 605) (e.g., causing an increasing number of light elements (e.g., 605-2) to activate (e.g., glow) at the first external device); and b) a brightness (e.g., increasing size and/or brightness) of the first set of one or more graphical elements displayed at the first external device (e.g., the glow of one or more light elements at the first external device gets brighter and/or larger as the computer system moves toward the first external device). Causing an increase in at least one of a size or brightness of a first set of one or more graphical elements displayed at the first external device provides feedback to a user of the computer system that the first operation is associated with the first external device, provides instruction to the user for action needed to cause the computer system to perform the first operation without requiring additional inputs from the user (e.g., input at a touchscreen), and provides feedback to the user indicating that continued movement toward the first external device will cause the computer system to perform the first operation. Providing instruction for causing the computer system to perform an operation without requiring additional inputs and providing improved feedback reduces the number of inputs at the computer system, enhances the operability of the computer system, and makes the user-system interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the system more quickly and efficiently. In some embodiments, the feedback parameter is a size and/or brightness of an active region of one or more light elements (e.g., LEDs) at the first external device. In some embodiments, changing the current value for the feedback parameter in the second direction includes decreasing the size and/or brightness of the first set of one or more graphical elements at the first external device.
In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) changes the current value for the feedback parameter in the first direction, including causing a change in a set of one or more colors of a second set (e.g., the first set) of one or more graphical elements (e.g., light 607) displayed at the first external device (e.g., 605) (e.g., the glow of one or more light elements at the first external device changes colors as the computer system moves toward the first external device). In some embodiments, the feedback parameter is a color of an active region of one or more light elements (e.g., LEDs) at the first external device. In some embodiments, changing the current value for the feedback parameter in the first direction includes changing the set of one or more colors to a first set of one or more colors (e.g., colors that correspond to a media item (e.g., colors that match album art associated with a song)). In some embodiments, changing the current value for the feedback parameter in the second direction includes changing the set of one or more colors to a second set of one or more colors different from the first set of one or more colors.
In some embodiments, the first operation is associated with a type of media (e.g., playback of music; playback of a communication media (e.g., a phone call)). In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) causes a change in the set of one or more colors of the second set of one or more graphical elements (e.g., light 607) displayed at the first external device (e.g., 605), including: in accordance with a determination that the media is a first type (e.g., music), causing the set of one or more colors to have a first set of one or more colors (e.g., white) (e.g., see light 607 in
In some embodiments, the first operation is associated with playback of audio content (e.g., 602A; 602B; 604A; 604B). In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) causes display of the second visual feedback (e.g., light 607) at the first external device (e.g., 605), including causing a change in (e.g., modulating) a visual characteristic (e.g., pulse frequency, brightness, color) of the visual feedback (e.g., 607) based on an audio characteristic (e.g., volume, frequency, beat) of the audio content. Causing a change in a visual characteristic of the visual feedback based on an audio characteristic of the audio content provides feedback to a user of the computer system that the first operation is associated with playback of the audio content at the first external device, provides instruction to the user for action needed to cause the computer system to perform the first operation without requiring additional inputs from the user (e.g., input at a touchscreen), and provides feedback to the user indicating that continued movement toward the first external device will cause the computer system to perform the first operation. Providing instruction for causing the computer system to perform an operation without requiring additional inputs and providing improved feedback reduces the number of inputs at the computer system, enhances the operability of the computer system, and makes the user-system interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the system more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) is in communication with a tactile output generator (e.g., 167) (e.g., a linear actuator; eccentric rotating mass actuator). In some embodiments, generating feedback includes generating, via the tactile output generator, a tactile output (e.g., 606; 613; 616) (audio output is optionally generated in coordination with the tactile output) at the computer system. Generating a tactile output at the computer system provides feedback to a user of the computer system that the first operation is associated with the first external device, provides instruction to the user for action needed to cause the computer system to perform the first operation without requiring additional inputs from the user (e.g., input at a touchscreen), and provides feedback to the user indicating that continued movement toward the first external device will cause the computer system to perform the first operation. Providing instruction for causing the computer system to perform an operation without requiring additional inputs and providing improved feedback reduces the number of inputs at the computer system, enhances the operability of the computer system, and makes the user-system interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the system more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) changes the current value for the feedback parameter of the feedback in the first direction, including increasing at least one of a magnitude, frequency, and/or rate of repetition (e.g., increasing the magnitude and/or frequency of vibration) of the tactile output (e.g., 606; 613; 616). In some embodiments, the computer system changes the current value for the feedback parameter of the feedback in the second direction, including decreasing at least one of the magnitude, frequency, and/or rate of repetition (e.g., decreasing the magnitude and/or frequency of vibration) of the tactile output. In some embodiments, the feedback parameter is a magnitude, frequency, and/or rate of repetition of the tactile output. Increasing or decreasing at least one of a magnitude, frequency, and/or rate of repetition of the tactile output depending on whether the change in direction includes movement of the computer system toward or away from the first external device provides feedback to a user of the computer system that the first operation is associated with the first external device, provides instruction to the user for action needed to cause the computer system to perform the first operation without requiring additional inputs from the user (e.g., input at a touchscreen), and provides feedback to the user indicating that continued movement toward the first external device will cause the computer system to perform the first operation and the continued movement away from the first external device will cause the computer system not to perform the first operation. Providing instruction for causing the computer system to perform an operation without requiring additional inputs and providing improved feedback reduces the number of inputs at the computer system, enhances the operability of the computer system, and makes the user-system interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the system more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) changes a current value for the feedback parameter of the feedback in the first direction, including: in accordance with a determination that the movement of the computer system toward the first external device (e.g., 605) includes a first velocity of movement, the computer system changes the current value for the feedback parameter of the feedback in the first direction by a first amount (e.g., see tactile output 606 in
In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) changes a current value for the feedback parameter of the feedback in the first direction (e.g., or the second direction), including: in accordance with a determination that the movement of the computer system toward the first external device (e.g., 605) includes at least a first threshold amount of movement toward the first external device (e.g., or away from the first external device) (e.g., see diagram 610 in
In some embodiments, the first operation is associated with playback of an audio signal (e.g., 602A; 602B; 604A; 604B). In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) generates the tactile output (e.g., 606; 613; 616), including changing (e.g., modulating) a characteristic (e.g., a tactile characteristic; frequency, rate of repetition, and/or magnitude of the tactile output) of the tactile output based on an audio characteristic (e.g., volume, frequency, beat) of the audio signal. Changing a characteristic of the tactile output based on an audio characteristic of the audio signal provides feedback to a user of the computer system that the first operation is associated with playback of the audio signal at the first external device, provides instruction to the user for action needed to cause the computer system to perform the first operation without requiring additional inputs from the user (e.g., input at a touchscreen), and provides feedback to the user indicating that continued movement toward the first external device will cause the computer system to perform the first operation. Providing instruction for causing the computer system to perform an operation without requiring additional inputs and providing improved feedback reduces the number of inputs at the computer system, enhances the operability of the computer system, and makes the user-system interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the system more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) is in communication with an audio output device (e.g., 111) (e.g., an internal or external speaker). In some embodiments, generating feedback includes generating, via the audio output device, a first audio feedback (e.g., 602A; 604A) (e.g., adjusting an audio output) at the computer system. Generating a first audio feedback at the computer system provides instruction to a user of the computer system for action needed to cause the computer system to perform the first operation without requiring additional inputs from the user (e.g., input at a touchscreen), and provides feedback to the user indicating that continued movement toward the first external device will cause the computer system to perform the first operation. Providing instruction for causing the computer system to perform an operation without requiring additional inputs and providing improved feedback reduces the number of inputs at the computer system, enhances the operability of the computer system, and makes the user-system interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the system more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) changes the current value for the feedback parameter of the feedback in the first direction, including decreasing an output volume of audio output (e.g., 602A; 604A) (e.g., currently output) at the computer system. Decreasing an output volume of audio output at the computer system provides feedback to a user of the computer system that the first operation is associated with playback of the audio, provides instruction to the user for action needed to cause the computer system to perform the first operation without requiring additional inputs from the user (e.g., input at a touchscreen), and provides feedback to the user indicating that continued movement toward the first external device will cause the computer system to perform the first operation. Providing instruction for causing the computer system to perform an operation without requiring additional inputs and providing improved feedback reduces the number of inputs at the computer system, enhances the operability of the computer system, and makes the user-system interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the system more quickly and efficiently. In some embodiments, the feedback parameter is the output volume of audio being output at the computer system. In some embodiments, changing the current value for the feedback parameter in the second direction includes increasing output volume of audio output at the computer system. In some embodiments, when the computer system is currently outputting audio while the current distance of the computer system from the first external device is less than the first threshold distance but greater than the second threshold distance, the computer system decreases the output volume of the audio when the computer system moves toward the first external device and increases the output volume of the audio when the computer system moves away from the first external device.
In some embodiments, while the first audio feedback (e.g., 602A; 604A) is generated at the computer system (e.g., 600), second audio feedback (e.g., 602B; 604B) (e.g., adjusting an audio output) is generated at the first external device (e.g., 605) (e.g., in response to instruction(s) from the first external device; in response to instruction(s) from the computer system). Generating a second audio feedback at the first external device while the first audio feedback is generated at the computer system provides feedback to a user of the computer system that the first operation is associated with the first external device, provides instruction to the user for action needed to cause the computer system to perform the first operation without requiring additional inputs from the user (e.g., input at a touchscreen), and provides feedback to the user indicating that continued movement toward the first external device will cause the computer system to perform the first operation. Providing instruction for causing the computer system to perform an operation without requiring additional inputs and providing improved feedback reduces the number of inputs at the computer system, enhances the operability of the computer system, and makes the user-system interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the system more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, while the computer system (e.g., 600) changes the current value for the feedback parameter of the feedback in the first direction, an output volume of audio output (e.g., see 602B-3 in
In some embodiments, the feedback parameter is the output volume of audio (e.g., 602B; 604B) being output at the first external device (e.g., 605). In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) changing the current value for the feedback parameter in the second direction includes decreasing output volume of audio output at the first external device. In some embodiments, when the computer system is currently outputting audio and the first external device is not outputting audio, and when the current distance of the computer system from the first external device transitions from a distance greater than the first threshold distance and the second threshold distance to a distance that is less than the first threshold distance but greater than the second threshold distance, audio begins to play at the first external device (e.g., while continuing to play at the computer system). While the current distance of the computer system from the first external device is less than the first threshold distance but greater than the second threshold distance, the output volume of the audio at the first external device is increased (e.g., while the output volume of the audio at the computer system decreases) when the computer system moves toward the first external device and is decreased (e.g., while the output volume of the audio at the computer system increases) when the computer system moves away from the first external device.
In some embodiments, when the first external device (e.g., 605) is currently outputting audio (e.g., 602B; 604B) while the current distance of the computer system (e.g., 600) from the first external device is less than the first threshold distance (e.g., 610-1) but greater than the second threshold distance (e.g., 610-2), the output volume of the audio at the first external device is decreased when the computer system moves toward the first external device and is increased when the computer system moves away from the first external device. In some embodiments, when the first external device is currently outputting audio and the computer system is not outputting audio, and when the current distance of the computer system from the first external device transitions from a distance greater than the first threshold distance and the second threshold distance to a distance that is less than the first threshold distance but greater than the second threshold distance, audio begins to play at the computer system (e.g., while continuing to play at the first external device). While the current distance of the computer system from the first external device is less than the first threshold distance but greater than the second threshold distance, the output volume of the audio (e.g., 602A; 604A) at the computer system is increased (e.g., while the output volume of the audio at the first external device decreases) when the computer system moves toward the first external device and is decreased (e.g., while the output volume of the audio at the first external device increases) when the computer system moves away from the first external device.
In some embodiments, while the computer system (e.g., 600) changes the current value for the feedback parameter of the feedback in the first direction, an equalization setting of audio output (e.g., 602B; 604B) (e.g., currently output) is adjusted at the first external device (e.g., 605) (e.g., in response to instruction(s) from the first external device; in response to instruction(s) from the computer system). Adjusting an equalization setting of audio output at the first external device while changing the current value for the feedback parameter of the feedback in the first direction provides feedback to a user of the computer system that the first operation is associated with playback of audio output at the first external device, provides instruction to the user for action needed to cause the computer system to perform the first operation without requiring additional inputs from the user (e.g., input at a touchscreen), and provides feedback to the user indicating that continued movement toward the first external device will cause the computer system to perform the first operation. Providing instruction for causing the computer system to perform an operation without requiring additional inputs and providing improved feedback reduces the number of inputs at the computer system, enhances the operability of the computer system, and makes the user-system interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the system more quickly and efficiently. In some embodiments, the feedback parameter is an equalization setting that affects audio properties that determine the fullness of the audio output at the first external device. In some embodiments, changing the current value for the feedback parameter in the first direction includes adjusting the equalization setting in a first manner such that the audio output at the first external device increases in fullness. In some embodiments, changing the current value for the feedback parameter in the second direction includes adjusting the equalization setting in a second manner such that the audio output at the first external device decreases in fullness. In some embodiments, when the first external device is currently outputting audio while the current distance of the computer system from the first external device is less than the first threshold distance but greater than the second threshold distance, the equalization setting of the audio output at the first external device changes such that the audio properties smoothly transition from having a tinny sound (e.g., having audio properties similar to audio produced from a low-power speaker (e.g., a speaker of a smartphone)) to having a full, rich sound as the computer system moves toward the first external device. Conversely, the equalization setting of the audio output at the first external device changes such that the audio properties smoothly transition from the full, rich sound to the tinny sound as the computer system moves away from the first external device.
In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) is in communication with a tactile output generator (e.g., 167) (e.g., a linear actuator; eccentric rotating mass actuator). In some embodiments, generating the feedback includes: in accordance with a determination that a first set of criteria is met, generating, via the tactile output generator, a first tactile output (e.g., 606; 613) (audio output is optionally generated in coordination with the tactile output) at the computer system; and in accordance with a determination that the first set of criteria is not met, forgoing generating the first tactile output (in some embodiments, generating a non-tactile output such as an audio output and/or a visual output) at the computer system (e.g., see
In some embodiments, the first set of criteria is not met when the computer system (e.g., 600) is in a charging state (e.g., a battery of the computer system is being charged). In some embodiments, the first set of criteria is not met when the computer system is stationary for a predetermined amount of time (e.g., the computer system is not being moved). In some embodiments, the first set of criteria is not met when a predetermined portion of the computer system (e.g., 600-1) (e.g., a display screen, a top surface, a user-facing surface) is positioned (e.g., oriented) away (e.g., facing away) from the external device (e.g., see
In some embodiments, in response to detecting the change in distance: in accordance with a determination that the current distance of the computer system (e.g., 600) from the first external device (e.g., 605) is less than the second threshold distance (e.g., 610-2), the computer system ceases to vary the current value for the feedback parameter based on movement of the computer system relative to the first external device (e.g., ceasing to generate the feedback; disabling varying the current value for the feedback parameter based on movement of the computer system relative to the first external device) (e.g., see
In some embodiments, after ceasing to vary the current value for the feedback parameter based on movement of the computer system (e.g., 600) relative to the first external device (e.g., 605) (e.g., after performing the first operation; after disabling varying the current value for the feedback parameter based on movement of the computer system relative to the first external device), the computer system detects a third change in distance between the computer system and the first external device. In response to detecting the third change in distance: in accordance with a determination that the current distance (e.g., the current distance after detecting the third change in distance) of the computer system from the first external device is greater than a third threshold distance (e.g., 610-1) (e.g., a predetermined threshold distance; the outer threshold distance; the first threshold distance; the first threshold distance plus a variance (e.g., 45%/50%/60% of the first threshold distance)), varying (e.g., re-enabling varying) the current value for the feedback parameter based on movement of the computer system relative to the first external device (e.g., see
In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) performs the first operation, including: in accordance with a determination that a second set of criteria is met, wherein the second set of criteria includes a criterion that is met when the computer system is currently playing (e.g., outputting audio and/or displaying video (e.g., at the computer system)) first media (e.g., 602A) (e.g., audio and/or video media), the computer system initiates playback of the first media at the first external device (e.g., 605), including: decreasing a first audio characteristic (e.g., a volume, an equalization setting) of the first media at the computer system (e.g., see 602A-4, 602A-3, 602A-2, and/or 602A-1 in
In some embodiments, after the computer system (e.g., 600) performs the first operation (e.g., transmitting data to the first external device (e.g., data handing off media from the computer system to the first external device); retrieving media or information about media currently playing on the first external device (e.g., to play back on the computer system), one or more of a size or brightness (e.g., reducing the size and/or brightness) of a third set of one or more graphical elements (e.g., light 607; 605-2) displayed at the first external device (e.g., 605) is reduced (e.g., see
In some embodiments, after the computer system (e.g., 600) performs the first operation (e.g., transmitting data to the first external device (e.g., data handing off media from the computer system to the first external device); retrieving media or information about media currently playing on the first external device (e.g., to play back on the computer system), an equalization setting of audio output (e.g., 602B; 604B) (e.g., currently output) at the first external device (e.g., 605) is adjusted (e.g., in response to instruction(s) from the first external device; in response to instruction(s) from the computer system) (e.g., causing the equalization setting of the audio output at the first external device to change such that the audio properties smoothly transition from having a tinny sound to having a full, rich sound). Adjusting an equalization setting of an audio output at the first external device after performing the first operation provides feedback to a user of the computer system that the first operation is associated with playback of the audio at the first external device, and provides feedback to the user that the first operation has been performed so that the user no longer attempts to execute the first operation (e.g., by providing inputs on a touchscreen or continuing to move the computer system), thereby reducing the number of inputs at the computer system. Providing improved feedback and reducing the number of inputs at the computer system enhances the operability of the computer system, and makes the user-system interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the system more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, while the first external device (e.g., 605) is currently playing (e.g., outputting audio and/or displaying video) second media (e.g., 602B) (e.g., audio and/or video media), the computer system (e.g., 600) detects a fourth change in distance between the computer system and the first external device (e.g., see diagram 610 in
Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 700 (e.g.,
In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 600) is a computer system. The computer system is optionally in communication (e.g., wired communication, wireless communication) with a display generation component (e.g., 601) (e.g., a display controller, a touch-sensitive display system) and with one or more input devices (e.g., 601; 112) (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface). The display generation component is configured to provide visual output, such as display via a CRT display, display via an LED display, or display via image projection. In some embodiments, the display generation component is integrated with the computer system. In some embodiments, the display generation component is separate from the computer system. The one or more input devices are configured to receive input, such as a touch-sensitive surface receiving user input. In some embodiments, the one or more input devices are integrated with the computer system. In some embodiments, the one or more input devices are separate from the computer system. Thus, the computer system can transmit, via a wired or wireless connection, data (e.g., image data or video data) to an integrated or external display generation component to visually produce the content (e.g., using a display device) and can receive, a wired or wireless connection, input from the one or more input devices.
As described below, method 800 provides an intuitive way for managing media playback devices. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing media playback devices, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to manage media playback devices faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
In method 800, in response to a determination (802) that a distance between the computer system (e.g., 600) and a first external device (e.g., 605) (e.g., a smart speaker; a media playback device (e.g., a digital media player); a smartphone; a smartwatch) is less than (e.g., is now less than; has transitioned and/or changed to be less than) a first threshold distance (e.g., 610-1; 610-2) (e.g., a predetermined threshold distance (e.g., 6 inches, 12 inches, 18 inches); an outer threshold distance from the first external device; an inner threshold distance from the first external device (e.g., 4 inches, 8 inches, 12 inches)), the computer system performs steps 804-812 of method 800.
In accordance with a determination that a first set of criteria is met, wherein the first set of criteria includes a criterion that is met when the computer system (e.g., 600) is currently playing (e.g., outputting audio and/or displaying video (e.g., at the computer system) or causing a connected device to output audio and/or display video) first media (e.g., 604A) (e.g., audio and/or video media) and the first external device (e.g., 605) is playing second media (e.g., 602B) (e.g., audio and/or video media) (e.g., the computer system and the first external device are simultaneously outputting different audio), the computer system displays (804) a media control user interface (e.g., 612; 612). The media control interface includes (e.g., concurrently includes) a first selectable graphical user interface object (e.g., 626) for starting playback of the first media (e.g., 604A) on the first external device (e.g., a “transfer from phone” affordance); and one or more selectable user interface objects (e.g., 612-1) for controlling the playback of the second media on the first external device (e.g., the objects, when selected, control playback). The one or more selectable user interface objects include a first media control selectable graphical user interface object (e.g., 612-1a; 612-1b) (e.g., a play affordance, a pause affordance, a next track affordance, a previous track affordance, a volume affordance, and/or an audio scrubber). Displaying a media control user interface that, when the computer system is currently playing first media and the first external device is playing second media, includes a first selectable graphical user interface object for starting playback of the first media on the first external device and one or more selectable user interface objects for controlling the playback of the second media on the first external device, including a first media control selectable graphical user interface object, provides feedback to a user of the computer system of a first function that can be performed that starts playback of the first media on the first external device, and a second function that can be performed that controls playback of the second media on the first external device, without requiring further input from the user to navigate between different user interfaces to access each of these separate functions. Moreover, the computer system automatically displays the media control user interface having the first selectable graphical user interface object and the one or more selectable user interface objects when a set of conditions are met, without requiring further input from the user to access and navigate between different user interfaces to access the first selectable graphical user interface object and the one or more selectable user interface objects. Providing improved feedback and performing an operation automatically when a set of conditions is met reduces the number of inputs at the computer system, enhances the operability of the computer system, and makes the user-system interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the system more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) displays the media control user interface (e.g., 612; 612) in response to determining that the distance between the computer system and the first external device (e.g., 605) is less than the first threshold distance (e.g., 610-2) (e.g., when the first threshold distance is an inner threshold distance from the first external device). In some embodiments, the computer system displays the media control user interface in response to an input (e.g., 608) on a user interface object (e.g., 615) that is displayed when the distance between the computer system and the first external device is less than the first threshold distance (e.g., 610-1) and greater than a second threshold distance (e.g., 610-2) (e.g., when the first threshold distance is an outer threshold distance from the first external device and the second threshold distance is an inner threshold distance from the first external device).
While displaying the media control user interface (e.g., 612), the computer system (e.g., 600) receives (806), via the one or more input devices (e.g., 601), an input (e.g., 628; 630) (e.g., a touch input).
In response (808) to receiving the input (e.g., 628; 630), and in accordance with a determination that the input (e.g., 630) corresponds to the first selectable graphical user interface object (e.g., 626) (e.g., the input is a selection of the “transfer from phone” affordance), the computer system (e.g., 600) initiates (810) a process to cause the first external device (e.g., 605) to playback the first media (e.g., device 605 begins playing music 604B in
In response (808) to receiving the input (e.g., 628; 630), and in accordance with a determination that the input (e.g., 628) corresponds to (e.g., is a selection of) the first media control selectable graphical user interface object (e.g., 612-1a) (e.g., a pause affordance), initiating a process for controlling (e.g., modifying) playback of the second media (e.g., 602B) (e.g., the object, when selected, controls playback) by the first external device (e.g., 605) (e.g., pausing playback of the second media at the first external device (e.g., see
In some embodiments, in response to a determination that a distance between the computer system (e.g., 600) and the first external device (e.g., 605) is less than the first threshold distance (e.g., 610-1), and in accordance with a determination that a second set of criteria is met, wherein the second set of criteria includes a criterion that is met when the computer system is not playing the first media (e.g., 604A) (e.g., the computer system is not causing playback of any media) and the first external device is not playing the second media (e.g., 602B) (e.g., the first external device is not causing playback of any media), the computer system displays, via the display generation component (e.g., 601), a set of one or more representations of predetermined media content items (e.g., 612-3) (e.g., the media control user interface includes the set of one or more representations of predetermined media content items) (e.g., a set of icons or images representing recommended or recently played songs or albums that can be selected to initiate playback of the corresponding song or album). Displaying a set of one or more representations of predetermined media content items when the computer system is not playing the first media and the first external device is not playing the second media provides feedback to a user of the computer system of a function that can be performed that starts playback of predetermined media, without requiring further input from the user to navigate to a user interface to select media for playback. Moreover, the computer system automatically displays the set of one or more representations of predetermined media content items when a set of conditions are met, without requiring further input from the user to access and navigate between different user interfaces to access representations of media content items. Providing improved feedback and performing an operation automatically when a set of conditions is met reduces the number of inputs at the computer system, enhances the operability of the computer system, and makes the user-system interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the system more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the method further comprises: while displaying the set of one or more representations of predetermined media content items (e.g., 612-3), the computer system (e.g., 600) receives, via the one or more input devices (e.g., 601), an input directed to a first representation of a predetermined media content item; and in response to receiving the input directed to the first representation, initiates a process to cause the computer system and/or the first external device (e.g., 605) to play media corresponding to the first representation.
In some embodiments, in response to a determination that a distance between the computer system (e.g., 600) and the first external device (e.g., 605) is less than the first threshold distance (e.g., 610-1), and in accordance with a determination that a third set of criteria is met, wherein the third set of criteria includes a criterion that is met when the computer system is not playing the first media (e.g., 604A) (e.g., the computer system is not causing playback of any media) and the first external device is currently playing the second media (e.g., 602B) (e.g., see
In some embodiments, the method further comprises: while displaying the second selectable graphical user interface object (e.g., 620), the computer system (e.g., 600) receives, via the one or more input devices (e.g., 601), an input directed to the second selectable graphical user interface object; and in response to receiving the input directed to the second selectable graphical user interface object, initiates a process to cause the computer system to playback the second media (e.g., 602B). In some embodiments, the first external device continues playback of the second media when the second media is transferred to the computer system. In some embodiments, the first external device ceases playback of the second media when the second media is transferred to the computer system. In some embodiments, when the first external device hands off playback of the second media to the computer system, the first external device generates feedback to indicate the handoff process is initiated. For example, in some embodiments, the first external device includes lights, and the lights pulse and increase in brightness (and, optionally, in pulse frequency) when the handoff is initiated, and then the lights fade to an “off” setting when the handoff is complete.
In some embodiments, in response to a determination that a distance between the computer system (e.g., 600) and the first external device (e.g., 605) is less than the first threshold distance (e.g., 610-2), and in accordance with a determination that a fourth set of criteria is met, wherein the fourth set of criteria includes a criterion that is met when the computer system is currently playing the first media (e.g., 604A) and the first external device is not playing the second media (e.g., 602B) (e.g., the first external device is not causing playback of any media), the computer system initiates a process to cause the first external device to playback the first media (e.g., see
In some embodiments, in response to a determination that a distance between the computer system (e.g., 600) and the first external device (e.g., 605) is less than the first threshold distance (e.g., 610-1; 610-2), and in accordance with a determination that a fifth set of criteria is met, wherein the fifth set of criteria includes a first criterion that is met when the computer system is currently playing the first media (e.g., 604A) and the first external device is playing third media (e.g., 602B) (e.g., the second media) (e.g., the computer system and the first external device are simultaneously outputting different audio) and a second criterion that is met when the first media is different from the third media (e.g., the first and third media are different songs), the computer system adds the third media to a queue for playback at the computer system (e.g., the computer system continues to cause playback of the first media while the third media is added to the queue for future playback at the computer system). Adding the third media to a queue for playback at the computer system when the computer system is currently playing the first media and the first external device is playing third media that is different from the first media, allows the computer system to automatically add the third media to a playback queue of the computer system without requiring further input from the user to navigate various user interfaces to locate the third media (e.g., in a library of media items) and add it to the queue. Performing an operation automatically when a set of conditions is met enhances the operability of the computer system, and makes the user-system interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the system more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the media control user interface (e.g., 612) further includes a set of one or more selectable user interface objects (e.g., 612-4; 612-6; 612-7) (e.g., timer controls; alarm controls; message controls) that includes a first selectable user interface object (612-6a; 612-6b; 612-7a) that, when selected, controls an operation at the first external device (e.g., 605) (e.g., an operation associated with a timer at the first external device; an operation associated with an alarm at the first external device; an operation associated with a message at the first external device). Displaying a media control user interface that includes a first selectable user interface object that, when selected, controls an operation at the first external device provides feedback to a user of the computer system of a function that can be performed that controls an operation at the first external device, without requiring further input from the user to navigate between different user interfaces to access the function. Moreover, the computer system automatically displays the media control user interface having the first selectable user interface object when a set of conditions are met, without requiring further input from the user to access and navigate between different user interfaces to access the first selectable user interface object. Providing improved feedback and performing an operation automatically when a set of conditions is met reduces the number of inputs at the computer system, enhances the operability of the computer system, and makes the user-system interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the system more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the set of one or more selectable user interface objects includes a set of controls selected from a group consisting of timer controls (e.g., 612-6) (e.g., controls for setting or adjusting a timer using the first external device), alarm controls (e.g., 612-7) (e.g., controls for setting or adjusting an alarm using the first external device), and message controls (e.g., 612-4) (e.g., controls for composing, sending, or reading a message using the first external device).
In some embodiments, in response to a determination that a distance between the computer system (e.g., 600) and the first external device (e.g., 605) is less than (e.g., is now less than; has transitioned and/or changed to be less than) a second threshold distance (e.g., 610-1) (e.g., a predetermined threshold distance (e.g., 6 inches, 12 inches, 18 inches); an outer threshold distance from the first external device) (in some embodiments, in response to a determination that the distance between the computer system and the first external device is less than the second threshold distance and greater than the first threshold distance), the computer system displays, via the display generation component (e.g., 601), a representation (e.g., 615) (e.g., an affordance (selectable graphical user interface object) representing a “pill” view) of the media control user interface (e.g., 612), wherein the representation of the media control user interface includes an indication (e.g., 615-1; 615-2) of the first external device (e.g., text and/or images that represent the first external device). Displaying, when a distance between the computer system and the first external device is less than a second threshold distance, a representation of the media control user interface that includes an indication of the first external device provides feedback to a user of the computer system of a function that can be performed with respect to the first external device, without requiring further input from the user to navigate between different user interfaces to access functionality for the first external device. Moreover, the computer system automatically displays the representation of the media control user interface having the indication of the first external device, without requiring further input from the user. Providing improved feedback and performing an operation automatically when a set of conditions is met reduces the number of inputs at the computer system, enhances the operability of the computer system, and makes the user-system interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the system more quickly and efficiently.
In some embodiments, the indication of the first external device (e.g., 605) includes first status information (e.g., 615-1) associated with the first external device (e.g., text and/or images that indicate a current state or status of the first external device). In some embodiments, the status information includes an indication of whether media is being played back at the first external device, an indication of what media is being played back at the first external device, an indication of a type of media (e.g., call, music, podcast, voice command, virtual assistant) being played back at the first external device, and/or an indication of whether the first external device is turned on/off, connected/disconnected, and/or has sufficient power.
In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) detects a first change in distance between the computer system and the first external device (e.g., 605). In some embodiments, the change in distance is detected based on a change in signal strength (e.g., wireless signal strength) exchanged between the system and the first external device. In some embodiments, the change in distance is detected via one or more sensors (e.g., infrared sensors; optical sensors). In some embodiments, the change in distance is detected via data transmitted to the system from a Wi-Fi positioning system, from GPS, and/or from the first external device. In response to detecting the first change in distance, and in accordance with a determination that the first change in distance includes movement of the computer system toward the first external device (e.g., see
In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) detects a second change in distance between the computer system and the first external device (e.g., 605). In some embodiments, the change in distance is detected based on a change in signal strength (e.g., wireless signal strength) exchanged between the system and the first external device. In some embodiments, the change in distance is detected via one or more sensors (e.g., infrared sensors; optical sensors). In some embodiments, the change in distance is detected via data transmitted to the system from a Wi-Fi positioning system, from GPS, and/or from the first external device. In response to detecting the second change in distance, and in accordance with a determination that the second change in distance includes movement of the computer system away from the first external device (e.g., see
In some embodiments, the representation of the media control user interface (e.g., 615) includes a first subset of status information (e.g., 615-1) associated with the first external device (e.g., 605) (e.g., text and/or images that indicate a current state or status of the first external device). In some embodiments, while displaying the representation of the media control user interface, the computer system (e.g., 600) receives a second input (e.g., 608) (e.g., a touch input directed to the representation of the media control user interface; a change in the distance between the computer system and the first external device (e.g., the computer system moves closer to the first external device)). In response to receiving the second input, the computer system displays the representation of the media control user interface having an expanded state (e.g., 612; 612) that includes a second subset of status information (e.g., 612-2; 612-1) associated with the first external device that is different than the first subset of status information associated with the first external device (e.g., text and/or images that indicate a current state or status of the first external device) (e.g., status information that is not included in the first subset of status information). In some embodiments, the second subset of status information includes the first subset of status information plus additional status information. In some embodiments, displaying the representation of the media control user interface having an expanded state includes displaying an animation of the representation of the media control user interface expanding to display additional status information (e.g., the second subset of status information). In some embodiments, displaying the representation of the media control user interface having an expanded state includes displaying the representation of the media control user interface expanding to the media control user interface, wherein the second subset of status information is displayed in the media control user interface. In some embodiments, the expanded state of the representation of the media control user interface is the media control user interface.
In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) displays the representation of the media control user interface having an expanded state (e.g., 612′), including in accordance with a determination that a sixth set of criteria is met, wherein the sixth set of criteria includes a criterion that is met when the computer system is currently playing the first media (e.g., 604A) and the first external device (e.g., 605) is not playing the second media (e.g., 602B) (e.g., the first external device is not causing playback of any media), the computer system displays a third selectable graphical user interface object (e.g., 626) (e.g., the first selectable graphical user interface object) (e.g., a “transfer from phone” affordance) that, when selected, initiates playback of the first media on the first external device (e.g., the third selectable graphical user interface object is displayed without immediately handing off playback of the first media to the first external device). In some embodiments, the method further comprises: while displaying the third selectable graphical user interface object, receiving an input directed to the third selectable graphical user interface object; and in response to receiving the input directed to the third selectable graphical user interface object, initiating a process to cause the first external device to playback the first media (e.g., initiating a process for outputting the first media at the first external device (e.g., handing off the playback of the first media from the computer system to the first external device)).
In some embodiments, in response to a determination that a distance between the computer system (e.g., 600) and the first external device (e.g., 605) is less than the first threshold distance (e.g., 610-2) (e.g., an inner threshold distance from the first external device (e.g., 4 inches, 8 inches, 12 inches)), the computer system displays second status information (e.g., 612-2; 612-1) associated with the first external device (e.g., text and/or images that indicate a current state or status of the first external device). Displaying second status information associated with the first external device when the distance between the computer system and the first external device is less than the first threshold distance provides feedback to a user of the computer system indicating that the distance between the computer system and the first external device is less than the first threshold distance. Providing improved feedback reduces the number of inputs at the computer system, enhances the operability of the computer system, and makes the user-system interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the system more quickly and efficiently. In some embodiments, the status information includes an indication of whether media is being played back at the first external device, an indication of what media is being played back at the first external device, an indication of a type of media (e.g., call, music, podcast, voice command, virtual assistant) being played back at the first external device, and/or an indication of whether the first external device is turned on/off, connected/disconnected, and/or has sufficient power.
In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) displays the second status information (e.g., 612-2; 612-1) associated with the first external device (e.g., 605), including displaying a second representation (e.g., 615) (e.g., an affordance (selectable graphical user interface object) representing a “pill” view) of the media control user interface transitioning (e.g., see
In some embodiments, in response to receiving the input (e.g., 632), and in accordance with a determination that the input corresponds to a predefined gesture (e.g., an upward swipe that originates at a location on the media control user interface), the computer system (e.g., 600) ceases display of the one or more selectable user interface objects (e.g., 612-1) for controlling the playback of the second media on the first external device (e.g., 605) (e.g., see

In some embodiments, the state of device 900 is indicated by the color of light 905. For example, device 900 displays light having a green color when device 900 is in a communication state, having a multi-color pattern when device 900 is in a virtual assistant state, having a white color (or a color that corresponds to a particular song or album) when device 900 is in a music playback state, having an amber color when device 900 is in a low power state (e.g., device 900 has a low power supply), or having a red color when device 900 needs to be reset.

For example, device 900 displays light 905 having a dim state when music is paused, and displays light 905 having a brighter state when music is playing. As another example, device 900 temporarily brightens light 905 to indicate an input is received at device 900, and dims light 905 when an input has not been received at device 900 for a predetermined amount of time. In some embodiments, device 900 brightens or dims light 905 in response to volume adjustments (e.g., increase brightness with a volume increase and decrease brightness with a volume decrease). In some embodiments, the brightness of light 905 is represented by the shade of light 905 depicted in the figures. For example, darker shades of light 905 can represent brighter display of light, and lighter shades of light 905 can represent dimmer display of light.
In some embodiments, the operation(s) that is performed at device 900 in response to an input depends on various characteristics of the input such as, for example, a size, location, and/or duration of the input. For example, in some embodiments, a respective portion of touch-sensitive surface 901 can be associated with two operations that can be performed in response to an input at the respective portion, and device 900 performs a first operation when the input has a first set of characteristics and performs a second operation when the input has a second set of characteristics.

In some embodiments the computer system includes a display generation component (e.g., 902) (e.g., a display controller, a touch-sensitive display system). The display generation component is configured to provide visual output, such as display via a CRT display, display via an LED display, or display via image projection. In some embodiments, the display generation component is integrated with the computer system. In some embodiments, the display generation component is separate from the computer system.
As described below, method 1000 provides an intuitive way for managing media playback devices. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing media playback devices, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface.

In some embodiments, the state of device 900 is indicated by one or more characteristics of light 905 such as, for example, the color, size, and/or brightness of light 905, as discussed in greater detail below.
In some embodiments, the state of device 900 is indicated by the displayed size of light 905. For example, light 905 is a small size (e.g., less than a predetermined size threshold) when device 900 is in a first state, and light 905 is a large size (e.g., greater than the predetermined size threshold) when device 900 is in a second (different) state. Accordingly, portions 901-1, 901-2, and 901-3 have a first set of operations associated with the portions during the first state and a second set of operations associated with the portions during the second state. In some embodiments, device 900 is in the first state, and displays light 905 having a small size, when device 900 is playing music or audio for communication sessions such as a phone call, a video call, or an incoming audio message. In some embodiments, device 900 is in the second state, and displays light 905 having a large size, when device 900 is in a virtual assistant state (discussed above), performing a timer or alarm operation, recording an outgoing audio message, or, in some embodiments, when audio playback is transitioning to (or from) device 900, as discussed above with respect to

In the embodiments depicted in
In some embodiments, the state of device 900 is indicated by the brightness of light 905 or a temporary change in brightness. For example, device 900 displays light 905 having a dim state when music is paused, and displays light 905 having a brighter state when music is playing. As another example, device 900 temporarily brightens light 905 to indicate an input is received at device 900, and dims light 905 when an input has not been received at device 900 for a predetermined amount of time. In some embodiments, device 900 brightens or dims light 905 in response to volume adjustments (e.g., increase brightness with a volume increase and decrease brightness with a volume decrease). In some embodiments, the brightness of light 905 is represented by the shade of light 905 depicted in the figures. For example, darker shades of light 905 can represent brighter display of light, and lighter shades of light 905 can represent dimmer display of light.
In some embodiments, the operation(s) that is performed at device 900 in response to an input depends on various characteristics of the input such as, for example, a size, location, and/or duration of the input.

In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 900) is a computer system (e.g., a speaker; a digital media player) that includes a touch-sensitive display (e.g., 901, 902) having a first portion (e.g., 901-1) and a second portion (e.g., 901-2; 901-3), wherein the touch-sensitive display includes one or more physical features (e.g., 901A; 901B) (e.g., ridges, bumps, markings, textures, etchings, indicia) that distinguishes the second portion from the first portion (e.g., the second portion is different from the first portion). In some embodiments, the second portion is visually and/or texturally different form the first portion. In some embodiments, the one or more physical features are provided (e.g., printed, displayed, etched, engraved, overlaid, molded) on and/or below the touch-sensitive display. In some embodiments, the first portion is associated with a first operation. In some embodiments, the second portion is not associated with the first operation. In some embodiments, the second portion is conditionally associated with the first operation based, for example, on an operation that can be performed in response to an input at the second portion.
As described below, method 1200 provides an intuitive way for managing media playback devices. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for managing media playback devices, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to manage media playback devices faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
At method 1200, while the first portion (e.g., 901-1) of the touch-sensitive display (e.g., 901) is configured to cause the computer system (e.g., 900) to perform a first operation (e.g., a playback control operation; pause; play; mute; unmute) in response to detecting an input on the first portion, the computer system outputs (1202) (e.g., displays) a visual indicator (e.g., 905) (e.g., a status light) on the touch-sensitive display (e.g., via one or more displays 902). The visual indicator occupies at least a subset of the first portion of the touch-sensitive display. A first visual property (e.g., size, brightness, color, and/or pulse behavior) of the visual indicator indicates an operational state (e.g., active/inactive) of the second portion (e.g., 901-2; 901-3) for (e.g., with respect to) performing a second operation (e.g., volume up; volume down) different from the first operation (e.g., one or more operations that are different from the first operation) (e.g., the status light indicates whether or not the second portion of the touch-sensitive surface is configured or operable to perform the second operation(s)). Outputting a visual indicator on the touch-sensitive display that occupies at least a subset of the first portion of the display, wherein a first visual property of the visual indicator indicates an operational state of the second portion for performing a second operation different from the first operation, provides feedback to a user of the computer system of an operational state of the second portion of the touch-sensitive display. Providing improved feedback reduces the number of inputs at the computer system (e.g., by informing the user of the operational state of the second portion of the touch-sensitive display without requiring the user to provide input to discern the operational state), enhances the operability of the computer system, and makes the user-system interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the system more quickly and efficiently.
In accordance with a determination that the second portion (e.g., 901-2; 901-3) of the touch-sensitive display (e.g., 901) is operable (e.g., configured) to initiate a process for performing the second operation (e.g., the second portion of the touch-sensitive surface is configured to perform the second operation), the computer system (e.g., 900) outputs (1204) the visual indicator (e.g., 905) having a first variation (e.g., value, shape, pattern, and/or size) of the first visual property (e.g., a first size (e.g., a size that does not include the second portion, or a majority of the second portion, of the touch-sensitive display); light 905 having a size shown in
In accordance with a determination that the second portion (e.g., 901-2; 901-3) of the touch-sensitive display (e.g., 901) is not operable (e.g., configured) to initiate the process for performing the second operation (e.g., the second portion of the touch-sensitive surface is not configured to perform the second operation), the computer system (e.g., 900) outputs (1206) the visual indicator (e.g., 905) having a second variation (e.g., value, shape, pattern, and/or size) of the first visual property different from the first variation (e.g., a second size different from the first size) (e.g., a larger size than the first size) (e.g., a size that includes at least a subset (portion), or a majority, of the second portion of the touch-sensitive display) (e.g., light 905 having a size shown in
In method 1200, the computer system (e.g., 900) detects (1208) an input (e.g., 1112; 1114; 1116; 1118; 1122; 1124; 1126; 1128; 1130; 1132; 1134; 1136; 1138; 1140; 1142) (e.g., a touch input) directed to the touch-sensitive display (e.g., 901).
In response (1210) to detecting the input directed to the touch-sensitive display (e.g., 901), the computer system (e.g., 900) performs the following steps. In accordance with a determination that the input (e.g., 1114; 1116; 1122; 1124; 1142) is directed to the second portion (e.g., 901-2) of the touch-sensitive display (e.g., 901) (e.g., at least a predefined amount (e.g., 10%, 25%, 35%, 45%, 51%, 55%, 60%, 75%, 85%, 95%, 99%, 100%, more than 50%) of the touch contact is located within the second portion) while the visual indicator has the first variation of the first visual property (e.g., a small displayed size) (e.g., light 905 has a size shown in
In some embodiments, in response to detecting the input (e.g., 1112; 1118; 1126; 1140) directed to the touch-sensitive display (e.g., 901) while the visual indicator (e.g., 905) has the first variation of the first visual property (e.g., a small displayed size), and in accordance with a determination that the input is directed to the first portion (e.g., 901-1) of the touch-sensitive display (e.g., at least a predefined amount (e.g., 25%, 35%, 45%, 51%, 55%, 60%, 75%, 85%, 95%, 99%, 100%, more than 50%) of the touch contact is located within the first portion), the computer system (e.g., 900) initiates a process for performing the first operation (e.g., perform a playback control operation; pause; play; mute; unmute). In some embodiments, in response to detecting the input (e.g., 1130; 1136) directed to the touch-sensitive display while the visual indicator has the second variation of the first visual property (e.g., a large displayed size), and in accordance with a determination that the input is directed to the first portion (e.g., 901-1) of the touch-sensitive display (e.g., 901), the computer system (e.g., 900) initiates a process for performing the first operation. In some embodiments, when the input is directed to the first portion of the touch-sensitive display, the first operation is performed without regard for whether the status light has the first or second variation of the first visual property.
In some embodiments, the first visual property is a size of the visual indicator (e.g., 905). In some embodiments, the first variation of the first visual property is a first size (e.g., a size that does not include the second portion of the touch-sensitive display) (e.g., light 905 has the size shown in
In some embodiments, in response to detecting the input (e.g., 1114; 1116; 1122; 1124; 1142) directed to the touch-sensitive display (e.g., 901), and in accordance with a determination that the input is directed to the second portion (e.g., 901-2; 901-3) of the touch-sensitive display while the visual indicator (e.g., 905) has the first size (e.g., a size shown in
In some embodiments, in response to detecting the input directed to the touch-sensitive display, and in accordance with a determination that the input (e.g., 1128; 1132; 1134; 1138) is directed to the second portion (e.g., 901-2; 901-3) of the touch-sensitive display (e.g., 901) while the visual indicator has the second variation of the first visual property (e.g., a displayed size that includes at least a subset of the second portion of the touch-sensitive display) (e.g., light 905 has the size shown in
In some embodiments, performing the first operation includes the computer system (e.g., 900) starting to output (e.g., unmuting, initiating/resuming playback) audio (e.g., as indicated by indicator 1110) if audio is not being output (e.g., audio (e.g., music, podcasts, videoconference audio, phone audio) generated at the computer system) or ceasing to output audio if audio is being output (e.g., muting first audio generated at the computer system, pausing playback of first audio generated at the computer system).
In some embodiments, performing the first operation includes the computer system (e.g., 900) initiating a task (e.g., initiating a request (e.g., for a virtual assistant), setting a timer, setting an alarm) or canceling a task (e.g., canceling a request (e.g., for a virtual assistant), canceling or disabling a timer, canceling or disabling an alarm) (e.g., see
In some embodiments, performing the second operation includes the computer system (e.g., 900) initiating a volume adjustment (e.g., increase volume; decrease volume) (e.g., see
In some embodiments, performing the second operation (e.g., a volume adjustment) includes the computer system (e.g., 900) modifying a second visual property (e.g., size, brightness, color, and/or pulse behavior) of the visual indicator different from the first visual property (e.g., see pulsing of light 905 shown in
In some embodiments, the second visual property is a display state (e.g., brightness, behavior) of the visual indicator (e.g., 905). In some embodiments, modifying the second visual property includes the computer system (e.g., 900) modulating the display state of the visual indicator (e.g., pulsing the visual indicator, blinking the visual indicator) in response to the first input (e.g., to provide feedback that the first input was received) (e.g., see pulsing of light 905 shown in
In some embodiments, the first visual property is color of the visual indicator (e.g., 905). In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 900) is in a first state (e.g., the virtual assistant state shown in
In some embodiments, the modified color of the visual indicator (e.g., 905) is a first set of one or more colors (e.g., white) when the third operation is associated with music or an alarm (e.g., an operation for controlling playback and/or handoff of music; an operation for setting, canceling, or silencing an alarm).
In some embodiments, the modified color of the visual indicator (e.g., 905) is a second set of one or more colors (e.g., multicolor (e.g., a multicolor pattern); different from the first set of one or more colors) when the third operation is associated with a virtual assistant (e.g., an operation for initiating/fulfilling a request or command using a virtual assistant).
In some embodiments, the modified color of the visual indicator (e.g., 905) is a third set of one or more colors (e.g., green; different from the first and/or second set of one or more colors) when the third operation is associated with communication audio (e.g., audio for a call; audio for a video communication (e.g., video chat); audio being transmitted to the computer system (e.g., from an external source such as a different computer system)).
In some embodiments, the modified color of the visual indicator (e.g., 905) is a fourth set of one or more colors (e.g., amber, yellow; different from the first, second, and/or third set of one or more colors) when the second state is a low power mode of the computer system (e.g., the power supply is below a predetermined threshold).
In some embodiments, the modified color of the visual indicator (e.g., 905) is a fifth set of one or more colors (e.g., red; different from the first, second, third, and/or fourth set of one or more colors) when the third operation is associated with a reset command (e.g., an operation for initiating a reset of the computer system).
In some embodiments, modifying the color of the visual indicator (e.g., 905) includes animating a color change of the visual indicator based on an audio signal (e.g., an output audio produced at the computer system; an audio signal of an input command received at the computer system). Animating a color change of the visual indicator based on an audio signal provides feedback to a user of the computer system that an operation to be performed at the computer system is associated with the audio signal. Providing improved feedback reduces the number of inputs at the computer system, enhances the operability of the computer system, and makes the user-system interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the computer system) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the computer system by enabling the user to use the system more quickly and efficiently. In some embodiments, the animated color change includes changing colors and, optionally, a pattern and/or behavior of the status light in response to changes in the audio signal. In some embodiments, the animation of the light includes a changing pattern and/or behavior of the status light (e.g., in response to changes in the audio signal) without changing color.
In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the computer system (e.g., 900) has not received an input (e.g., user input) for at least a predetermined amount of time (e.g., 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes), the computer system decreases a brightness of the visual indicator (e.g., 905) (e.g., decreasing the brightness to a non-zero value; see
In some embodiments, while the visual indicator (e.g., 905) has the decreased brightness (e.g., as shown in
In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 900) is configured to generate output audio based on a volume setting (e.g., represented using indicator 1115). In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the volume setting is greater than zero, the computer system outputs the visual indicator (e.g., 905) (e.g., see
Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 1200 (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 manage media playback devices. The present disclosure contemplates that in some instances, this gathered data may include personal information data that uniquely identifies or can be used to contact or locate a specific person. Such personal information data can include demographic data, location-based data, telephone numbers, email addresses, twitter IDs, home addresses, data or records relating to a user's health or level of fitness (e.g., vital signs measurements, medication information, exercise information), date of birth, or any other identifying or personal information.
The present disclosure recognizes that the use of such personal information data, in the present technology, can be used to the benefit of users. For example, the personal information data can be used to customize media playback. Further, other uses for personal information data that benefit the user are also contemplated by the present disclosure. For instance, health and fitness data may be used to provide insights into a user's general wellness, or may be used as positive feedback to individuals using technology to pursue wellness goals.
The present disclosure contemplates that the entities responsible for the collection, analysis, disclosure, transfer, storage, or other use of such personal information data will comply with well-established privacy policies and/or privacy practices. In particular, such entities should implement and consistently use privacy policies and practices that are generally recognized as meeting or exceeding industry or governmental requirements for maintaining personal information data private and secure. Such policies should be easily accessible by users, and should be updated as the collection and/or use of data changes. Personal information from users should be collected for legitimate and reasonable uses of the entity and not shared or sold outside of those legitimate uses. Further, such collection/sharing should occur after receiving the informed consent of the users. Additionally, such entities should consider taking any needed steps for safeguarding and securing access to such personal information data and ensuring that others with access to the personal information data adhere to their privacy policies and procedures. Further, such entities can subject themselves to evaluation by third parties to certify their adherence to widely accepted privacy policies and practices. In addition, policies and practices should be adapted for the particular types of personal information data being collected and/or accessed and adapted to applicable laws and standards, including jurisdiction-specific considerations. For instance, in the US, collection of or access to certain health data may be governed by federal and/or state laws, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA); whereas health data in other countries may be subject to other regulations and policies and should be handled accordingly. Hence different privacy practices should be maintained for different personal data types in each country.
Despite the foregoing, the present disclosure also contemplates embodiments in which users selectively block the use of, or access to, personal information data. That is, the present disclosure contemplates that hardware and/or software elements can be provided to prevent or block access to such personal information data. For example, in the case of managing media playback devices, 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 addition to providing “opt in” and “opt out” options, the present disclosure contemplates providing notifications relating to the access or use of personal information. For instance, a user may be notified upon downloading an app that their personal information data will be accessed and then reminded again just before personal information data is accessed by the app.
Moreover, it is the intent of the present disclosure that personal information data should be managed and handled in a way to minimize risks of unintentional or unauthorized access or use. Risk can be minimized by limiting the collection of data and deleting data once it is no longer needed. In addition, and when applicable, including in certain health related applications, data de-identification can be used to protect a user's privacy. De-identification may be facilitated, when appropriate, by removing specific identifiers (e.g., date of birth, etc.), controlling the amount or specificity of data stored (e.g., collecting location data a city level rather than at an address level), controlling how data is stored (e.g., aggregating data across users), and/or other methods.
Therefore, although the present disclosure broadly covers use of personal information data to implement one or more various disclosed embodiments, the present disclosure also contemplates that the various embodiments can also be implemented without the need for accessing such personal information data. That is, the various embodiments of the present technology are not rendered inoperable due to the lack of all or a portion of such personal information data. For example, media content can be selected and delivered to users by inferring preferences based on non-personal information data or a bare minimum amount of personal information, such as the content being requested by the device associated with a user, other non-personal information available to the electronic device, media playback history or patterns, or publicly available information.
