The present disclosure relates generally to computer user interfaces, and more specifically to user interfaces and techniques for setting up an electronic device.
Modern electronic devices often have many customizable features that can be set by a user according to the user's preferences. These features may include the ability to perform various tasks or services which a user may turn on or off based on personal preferences regarding privacy, data usage, battery life, or the like. Thus, there is an opportunity to provide techniques and interfaces for allowing a user to set up and configure an electronic device. Modern electronic devices are also capable of communicating with other electronic devices via, for example, wireless communication. The ability to communicate with other devices may allow devices to share information and interact with each other. Thus, there is also an opportunity to provide techniques for establishing communication between devices and to use the communication to improve a setup process.

For a better understanding of the various described embodiments, reference should be made to the Description of Embodiments below, in conjunction with the following drawings in which like reference numerals refer to corresponding parts throughout the figures.
In the following description of the disclosure and embodiments, reference is made to the accompanying drawings in which it is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments that can be practiced. It is to be understood that other embodiments and examples can be practiced and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the disclosure.
There is a need to set up a personal electronic device upon booting up the device for the first time or upon resetting the device. Setting up the device may include, among other things, initializing systems and programs that run on the device and configuring the device. An initial device configuration sequence may include installing software, setting device parameters, receiving and storing information (e.g., contact information of user contacts), etc. An initial device configuration sequence may also allow a user to set and/or change configuration parameters of the device according to his or her personal preferences. Boot up is a desirable time to prompt a user to set parameters that are critical to operating the device or that the user may not have intuitively known were configurable. For example, the device may display a sequence of user interface screens to guide the user through an initial device configuration sequence in which the user may set certain configuration parameters. The initial configuration sequence should be simple, clear, quick, efficient, and intuitive.
Setup may also include pairing the electronic device with an external or companion device. As used here, pairing two electronic devices includes establishing a means of communication between the two devices. The means of communication may include those described in U.S. Patent Application Ser. No. 62/005,751, “Predefined Wireless Pairing,” filed May 30, 2014, which is incorporated in this disclosure by reference. Once the devices are paired, they may exchange data including data that may be used during initial device configuration. Pairing may also allow a device to be configured using a user interface provided by the other paired device. For example, recent advances in computer technology have enabled manufacturers to produce powerful computing devices in relatively small form factors. However, small devices may be unable to provide a user interface large enough to be suitable for user configuration. Instead, the device being configured may be paired with an external device with a larger user interface that provides the ability to set parameters on the device being configured. Such techniques can reduce the time and effort required to begin using the device and can make the device more useful to the user.
Below,
Although the following description uses terms “first,” “second,” etc. to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by the terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another. For example, a first touch could be termed a second touch, and, similarly, a second touch could be termed a first touch, without departing from the scope of the various described embodiments. The first touch and the second touch are both touches, but they are not the same touch.
The terminology used in the description of the various described embodiments herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used in the description of the various described embodiments and the appended claims, the singular forms “a”, “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will also be understood that the term “and/or” as used herein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. It will be further understood that the terms “includes,” “including,” “comprises,” and/or “comprising,” when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.
The term “if” may be 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” may be construed to mean “upon determining” or “in response to determining” or “upon detecting [the stated condition or event]” or “in response to detecting [the stated condition or event],” depending on the context.
Embodiments of electronic devices, user interfaces for such devices, and associated processes for using such devices are described. In some embodiments, the device is a portable communications device, such as a mobile telephone, that also contains other functions, such as PDA and/or music player functions. Exemplary embodiments of portable multifunction devices include, without limitation, the iPhone®, iPod Touch®, and iPad® devices from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California Other portable electronic devices, such as laptops or tablet computers with touch-sensitive surfaces (e.g., touch screen displays and/or touchpads), are, optionally, used. It should also be understood that, in some embodiments, the device is not a portable communications device, but is a desktop computer with a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch screen display and/or a touchpad).
In the discussion that follows, an electronic device that includes a display and a touch-sensitive surface is described. It should be understood, however, that the electronic device optionally includes one or more other physical user-interface devices, such as a physical keyboard, a mouse, and/or a joystick.
The device may support a variety of applications, such as one or more of the following: a drawing application, a presentation application, a word processing application, a website creation application, a disk authoring application, a spreadsheet application, a gaming application, a telephone application, a video conferencing application, an e-mail application, an instant messaging application, a workout support application, a photo management application, a digital camera application, a digital video camera application, a web browsing application, a digital music player application, and/or a digital video player application.
The various applications that are executed on the device optionally use at least one common physical user-interface device, such as the touch-sensitive surface. One or more functions of the touch-sensitive surface as well as corresponding information displayed on the device are, optionally, adjusted and/or varied from one application to the next and/or within a respective application. In this way, a common physical architecture (such as the touch-sensitive surface) of the device optionally supports the variety of applications with user interfaces that are intuitive and transparent to the user.
Attention is now directed toward embodiments of portable devices with touch-sensitive displays.
As used in the specification and claims, the term “intensity” of a contact on a touch-sensitive surface refers to the force or pressure (force per unit area) of a contact (e.g., a finger contact) on the touch-sensitive surface, or to a substitute (proxy) for the force or pressure of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface. The intensity of a contact has a range of values that includes at least four distinct values and more typically includes hundreds of distinct values (e.g., at least 256). Intensity of a contact is, optionally, determined (or measured) using various approaches and various sensors or combinations of sensors. For example, one or more force sensors underneath or adjacent to the touch-sensitive surface are, optionally, used to measure force at various points on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, force measurements from multiple force sensors are combined (e.g., a weighted average) to determine an estimated force of a contact. Similarly, a pressure-sensitive tip of a stylus is, optionally, used to determine a pressure of the stylus on the touch-sensitive surface. Alternatively, the size of the contact area detected on the touch-sensitive surface and/or changes thereto, the capacitance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate to the contact and/or changes thereto, and/or the resistance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate to the contact and/or changes thereto are, optionally, used as a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are used directly to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is described in units corresponding to the substitute measurements). In some implementations, the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are converted to an estimated force or pressure, and the estimated force or pressure is used to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is a pressure threshold measured in units of pressure). Using the intensity of a contact as an attribute of a user input allows for user access to additional device functionality that may otherwise not be accessible by the user on a reduced-size device with limited real estate for displaying affordances (e.g., on a touch-sensitive display) and/or receiving user input (e.g., via a touch-sensitive display, a touch-sensitive surface, or a physical/mechanical control such as a knob or a button).
As used in the specification and claims, the term “tactile output” refers to physical displacement of a device relative to a previous position of the device, physical displacement of a component (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface) of a device relative to another component (e.g., housing) of the device, or displacement of the component relative to a center of mass of the device that will be detected by a user with the user's sense of touch. For example, in situations where the device or the component of the device is in contact with a surface of a user that is sensitive to touch (e.g., a finger, palm, or other part of a user's hand), the tactile output generated by the physical displacement will be interpreted by the user as a tactile sensation corresponding to a perceived change in physical characteristics of the device or the component of the device. For example, movement of a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch-sensitive display or trackpad) is, optionally, interpreted by the user as a “down click” or “up click” of a physical actuator button. In some cases, a user will feel a tactile sensation such as an “down click” or “up click” even when there is no movement of a physical actuator button associated with the touch-sensitive surface that is physically pressed (e.g., displaced) by the user's movements. As another example, movement of the touch-sensitive surface is, optionally, interpreted or sensed by the user as “roughness” of the touch-sensitive surface, even when there is no change in smoothness of the touch-sensitive surface. While such interpretations of touch by a user will be subject to the individualized sensory perceptions of the user, there are many sensory perceptions of touch that are common to a large majority of users. Thus, when a tactile output is described as corresponding to a particular sensory perception of a user (e.g., an “up click,” a “down click,” “roughness”), unless otherwise stated, the generated tactile output corresponds to physical displacement of the device or a component thereof that will generate the described sensory perception for a typical (or average) user.
It should be appreciated that device 100 is only one example of a portable multifunction device, and that device 100 optionally has more or fewer components than shown, optionally combines two or more components, or optionally has a different configuration or arrangement of the components. The various components shown in

Memory controller 122 may control access to memory 102 by other components of device 100.
Peripherals interface 118 can be used to couple input and output peripherals of the device to CPU 120 and memory 102. The one or more processors 120 run or execute various software programs and/or sets of instructions stored in memory 102 to perform various functions for device 100 and to process data. In some embodiments, peripherals interface 118, CPU 120, and memory controller 122 may be implemented on a single chip, such as chip 104.

Audio circuitry 110, speaker 111, and microphone 113 provide an audio interface between a user and device 100. Audio circuitry 110 receives audio data from peripherals interface 118, converts the audio data to an electrical signal, and transmits the electrical signal to speaker 111. Speaker 111 converts the electrical signal to human-audible sound waves. Audio circuitry 110 also receives electrical signals converted by microphone 113 from sound waves. Audio circuitry 110 converts the electrical signal to audio data and transmits the audio data to peripherals interface 118 for processing.

The one or more buttons (e.g., 208,
A quick press of the push button may disengage a lock of touch screen 112 or begin a process that uses gestures on the touch screen to unlock the device, as described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/322,549, “Unlocking a Device by Performing Gestures on an Unlock Image,” filed Dec. 23, 2005, U.S. Pat. No. 7,657,849, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. A longer press of the push button (e.g., 206) may turn power to device 100 on or off. The user may be able to customize a functionality of one or more of the buttons. Touch screen 112 is used to implement virtual or soft buttons and one or more soft keyboards.
Touch-sensitive display 112 provides an input interface and an output interface between the device and a user. Display controller 156 receives and/or sends electrical signals from/to touch screen 112. Touch screen 112 displays visual output to the user. The visual output may include graphics, text, icons, video, and any combination thereof (collectively termed “graphics”). In some embodiments, some or all of the visual output may correspond to user-interface objects.
Touch screen 112 has a touch-sensitive surface, sensor or set of sensors that accepts input from the user based on haptic and/or tactile contact. Touch screen 112 and display controller 156 (along with any associated modules and/or sets of instructions in memory 102) detect contact (and any movement or breaking of the contact) on touch screen 112 and convert the detected contact into interaction with user-interface objects (e.g., one or more soft keys, icons, web pages, or images) that are displayed on touch screen 112. In an exemplary embodiment, a point of contact between touch screen 112 and the user corresponds to a finger of the user.
Touch screen 112 may use LCD (liquid crystal display) technology, LPD (light emitting polymer display) technology, or LED (light emitting diode) technology, although other display technologies may be used in other embodiments. Touch screen 112 and display controller 156 may detect contact and any movement or breaking thereof using any of a plurality of touch sensing technologies now known or later developed, including but not limited to capacitive, resistive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave technologies, as well as other proximity sensor arrays or other elements for determining one or more points of contact with touch screen 112. In an exemplary embodiment, projected mutual capacitance sensing technology is used, such as that found in the iPhone® and iPod Touch® from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California.
A touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of touch screen 112 may be analogous to the multi-touch sensitive touchpads described in the following U.S. Pat. No. 6,323,846 (Westerman et al.), U.S. Pat. No. 6,570,557 (Westerman et al.), and/or U.S. Pat. No. 6,677,932 (Westerman), and/or U.S. Patent Publication 2002/0015024A1, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. However, touch screen 112 displays visual output from device 100, whereas touch-sensitive touchpads do not provide visual output.
A touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of touch screen 112 may be as described in the following applications: (1) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/381,313, “Multipoint Touch Surface Controller,” filed May 2, 2006; (2) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/840,862, “Multipoint Touchscreen,” filed May 6, 2004; (3) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/903,964, “Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices,” filed Jul. 30, 2004; (4) 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 may have a video resolution in excess of 100 dpi. In some embodiments, the touch screen has a video resolution of approximately 160 dpi. The user may make contact with touch screen 112 using any suitable object or appendage, such as a stylus, a finger, and so forth. In some embodiments, the user interface is designed to work primarily with finger-based contacts and gestures, which can be less precise than stylus-based input due to the larger area of contact of a finger on the touch screen. In some embodiments, the device translates the rough finger-based input into a precise pointer/cursor position or command for performing the actions desired by the user.
In some embodiments, in addition to the touch screen, device 100 may include a touchpad (not shown) for activating or deactivating particular functions. In some embodiments, the touchpad is a touch-sensitive area of the device that, unlike the touch screen, does not display visual output. The touchpad may be a touch-sensitive surface that is separate from touch screen 112 or an extension of the touch-sensitive surface formed by the touch screen.
Device 100 also includes power system 162 for powering the various components. Power system 162 may include a power management system, one or more power sources (e.g., battery, alternating current (AC)), a recharging system, a power failure detection circuit, a power converter or inverter, a power status indicator (e.g., a light-emitting diode (LED)) and any other components associated with the generation, management and distribution of power in portable devices.
Device 100 may also include one or more optical sensors 164.
Device 100 optionally also includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165.
Device 100 may also include one or more proximity sensors 166.
Device 100 optionally also includes one or more tactile output generators 167.
Device 100 may also include one or more accelerometers 168.
In some embodiments, the software components stored in memory 102 include operating system 126, communication module (or set of instructions) 128, contact/motion module (or set of instructions) 130, graphics module (or set of instructions) 132, text input module (or set of instructions) 134, Global Positioning System (GPS) module (or set of instructions) 135, and applications (or sets of instructions) 136. Furthermore, in some embodiments, memory 102 (
Operating system 126 (e.g., Darwin, RTXC, LINUX, UNIX, OS X, iOS, WINDOWS, or an embedded operating system such as VxWorks) includes various software components and/or drivers for controlling and managing general system tasks (e.g., memory management, storage device control, power management, etc.) and facilitates communication between various hardware and software components.
Communication module 128 facilitates communication with other devices over one or more external ports 124 and also includes various software components for handling data received by RF circuitry 108 and/or external port 124. External port 124 (e.g., Universal Serial Bus (USB), FIREWIRE, etc.) is adapted for coupling directly to other devices or indirectly over a network (e.g., the Internet, wireless LAN, etc.). In some embodiments, the external port is a multi-pin (e.g., 30-pin) connector that is the same as, or similar to and/or compatible with, the 30-pin connector used on iPod® (trademark of Apple Inc.) devices.
Contact/motion module 130 optionally detects contact with touch screen 112 (in conjunction with display controller 156) and other touch-sensitive devices (e.g., a touchpad or physical click wheel). Contact/motion module 130 includes various software components for performing various operations related to detection of contact, such as determining if contact has occurred (e.g., detecting a finger-down event), determining an intensity of the contact (e.g., the force or pressure of the contact or a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact), determining if there is movement of the contact and tracking the movement across the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., detecting one or more finger-dragging events), and determining if the contact has ceased (e.g., detecting a finger-up event or a break in contact). Contact/motion module 130 receives contact data from the touch-sensitive surface. Determining movement of the point of contact, which is represented by a series of contact data, optionally includes determining speed (magnitude), velocity (magnitude and direction), and/or an acceleration (a change in magnitude and/or direction) of the point of contact. These operations are, optionally, applied to single contacts (e.g., one finger contacts) or to multiple simultaneous contacts (e.g., “multitouch”/multiple finger contacts). In some embodiments, contact/motion module 130 and display controller 156 detect contact on a touchpad.
In some embodiments, contact/motion module 130 uses a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an operation has been performed by a user (e.g., to determine whether a user has “clicked” on an icon). In some embodiments, at least a subset of the intensity thresholds are determined in accordance with software parameters (e.g., the intensity thresholds are not determined by the activation thresholds of particular physical actuators and can be adjusted without changing the physical hardware of device 100). For example, a mouse “click” threshold of a trackpad or touch screen display can be set to any of a large range of predefined threshold values without changing the trackpad or touch screen display hardware. Additionally, in some implementations, a user of the device is provided with software settings for adjusting one or more of the set of intensity thresholds (e.g., by adjusting individual intensity thresholds and/or by adjusting a plurality of intensity thresholds at once with a system-level click “intensity” parameter).
Contact/motion module 130 optionally detects a gesture input by a user. Different gestures on the touch-sensitive surface have different contact patterns (e.g., different motions, timings, and/or intensities of detected contacts). Thus, a gesture is, optionally, detected by detecting a particular contact pattern. For example, detecting a finger tap gesture includes detecting a finger-down event followed by detecting a finger-up (liftoff) event at the same position (or substantially the same position) as the finger-down event (e.g., at the position of an icon). As another example, detecting a finger swipe gesture on the touch-sensitive surface includes detecting a finger-down event followed by detecting one or more finger-dragging events, and subsequently followed by detecting a finger-up (liftoff) event.
Graphics module 132 includes various known software components for rendering and displaying graphics on touch screen 112 or other display, including components for changing the visual impact (e.g., brightness, transparency, saturation, contrast, or other visual property) of graphics that are displayed.

Each of the above-identified modules and applications corresponds to a set of executable instructions for performing one or more functions described above and the methods described in this application (e.g., the computer-implemented methods and other information processing methods described herein). These modules (e.g., sets of instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs, procedures, or modules, and thus various subsets of these modules may be combined or otherwise rearranged in various embodiments. For example, video player module may be combined with music player module into a single module (e.g., video and music player module 152,
In some embodiments, device 100 is a device where operation of a predefined set of functions on the device is performed exclusively through a touch screen and/or a touchpad. By using a touch screen and/or a touchpad as the primary input control device for operation of device 100, the number of physical input control devices (such as push buttons, dials, and the like) on device 100 may be reduced.
The predefined set of functions that are performed exclusively through a touch screen and/or a touchpad optionally include navigation between user interfaces. In some embodiments, the touchpad, when touched by the user, navigates device 100 to a main, home, or root menu from any user interface that is displayed on device 100. In such embodiments, a “menu button” is implemented using a touchpad. In some other embodiments, the menu button is a physical push button or other physical input control device instead of a touchpad.
Event sorter 170 receives event information and determines the application 136-1 and application view 191 of application 136-1 to which to deliver the event information. Event sorter 170 includes event monitor 171 and event dispatcher module 174. In some embodiments, application 136-1 includes application internal state 192, which indicates the current application view(s) displayed on touch-sensitive display 112 when the application is active or executing. In some embodiments, device/global internal state 157 is used by event sorter 170 to determine which application(s) is (are) currently active, and application internal state 192 is used by event sorter 170 to determine application views 191 to which to deliver event information.
In some embodiments, application internal state 192 includes additional information, such as one or more of: resume information to be used when application 136-1 resumes execution, user interface state information that indicates information being displayed or that is ready for display by application 136-1, a state queue for enabling the user to go back to a prior state or view of application 136-1, and a redo/undo queue of previous actions taken by the user.
Event monitor 171 receives event information from peripherals interface 118. Event information includes information about a sub-event (e.g., a user touch on touch-sensitive display 112, as part of a multi-touch gesture). Peripherals interface 118 transmits information it receives from I/O subsystem 106 or a sensor, such as proximity sensor 166, accelerometer(s) 168, and/or microphone 113 (through audio circuitry 110). Information that peripherals interface 118 receives from I/O subsystem 106 includes information from touch-sensitive display 112 or a touch-sensitive surface.
In some embodiments, event monitor 171 sends requests to the peripherals interface 118 at predetermined intervals. In response, peripherals interface 118 transmits event information. In other embodiments, peripherals interface 118 transmits event information only when there is a significant event (e.g., receiving an input above a predetermined noise threshold and/or for more than a predetermined duration).
In some embodiments, event sorter 170 also includes a hit view determination module 172 and/or an active event recognizer determination module 173.
Hit view determination module 172 provides software procedures for determining where a sub-event has taken place within one or more views when touch-sensitive display 112 displays more than one view. Views are made up of controls and other elements that a user can see on the display.
Another aspect of the user interface associated with an application is a set of views, sometimes herein called application views or user interface windows, in which information is displayed and touch-based gestures occur. The application views (of a respective application) in which a touch is detected may correspond to programmatic levels within a programmatic or view hierarchy of the application. For example, the lowest level view in which a touch is detected may be called the hit view, and the set of events that are recognized as proper inputs may be determined based, at least in part, on the hit view of the initial touch that begins a touch-based gesture.
Hit view determination module 172 receives information related to sub-events of a touch-based gesture. When an application has multiple views organized in a hierarchy, hit view determination module 172 identifies a hit view as the lowest view in the hierarchy which should handle the sub-event. In most circumstances, the hit view is the lowest level view in which an initiating sub-event occurs (e.g., the first sub-event in the sequence of sub-events that form an event or potential event). Once the hit view is identified by the hit view determination module 172, the hit view typically receives all sub-events related to the same touch or input source for which it was identified as the hit view.
Active event recognizer determination module 173 determines which view or views within a view hierarchy should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In some embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that only the hit view should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that all views that include the physical location of a sub-event are actively involved views, and therefore determines that all actively involved views should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, even if touch sub-events were entirely confined to the area associated with one particular view, views higher in the hierarchy would still remain as actively involved views.
Event dispatcher module 174 dispatches the event information to an event recognizer (e.g., event recognizer 180). In embodiments including active event recognizer determination module 173, event dispatcher module 174 delivers the event information to an event recognizer determined by active event recognizer determination module 173. In some embodiments, event dispatcher module 174 stores in an event queue the event information, which is retrieved by a respective event receiver 182.
In some embodiments, operating system 126 includes event sorter 170. Alternatively, application 136-1 includes event sorter 170. In yet other embodiments, event sorter 170 is a stand-alone module, or a part of another module stored in memory 102, such as contact/motion module 130.
In some embodiments, application 136-1 includes a plurality of event handlers 190 and one or more application views 191, each of which includes instructions for handling touch events that occur within a respective view of the application's user interface. Each application view 191 of the application 136-1 includes one or more event recognizers 180. Typically, a respective application view 191 includes a plurality of event recognizers 180. In other embodiments, one or more of event recognizers 180 are part of a separate module, such as a user interface kit (not shown) or a higher level object from which application 136-1 inherits methods and other properties. In some embodiments, a respective event handler 190 includes one or more of: data updater 176, object updater 177, GUI updater 178, and/or event data 179 received from event sorter 170. Event handler 190 may utilize or call data updater 176, object updater 177, or GUI updater 178 to update the application internal state 192. Alternatively, one or more of the application views 191 include one or more respective event handlers 190. Also, in some embodiments, one or more of data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178 are included in a respective application view 191.
A respective event recognizer 180 receives event information (e.g., event data 179) from event sorter 170 and identifies an event from the event information. Event recognizer 180 includes event receiver 182 and event comparator 184. In some embodiments, event recognizer 180 also includes at least a subset of: metadata 183, and event delivery instructions 188 (which may include sub-event delivery instructions).
Event receiver 182 receives event information from event sorter 170. The event information includes information about a sub-event, for example, a touch or a touch movement. Depending on the sub-event, the event information also includes additional information, such as location of the sub-event. When the sub-event concerns motion of a touch, the event information may also include speed and direction of the sub-event. In some embodiments, events include rotation of the device from one orientation to another (e.g., from a portrait orientation to a landscape orientation, or vice versa), and the event information includes corresponding information about the current orientation (also called device attitude) of the device.
Event comparator 184 compares the event information to predefined event or sub-event definitions and, based on the comparison, determines an event or sub-event, or determines or updates the state of an event or sub-event. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 includes event definitions 186. Event definitions 186 contain definitions of events (e.g., predefined sequences of sub-events), for example, event 1 (187-1), event 2 (187-2), and others. In some embodiments, sub-events in an event (187) include, for example, touch begin, touch end, touch movement, touch cancellation, and multiple touching. In one example, the definition for event 1 (187-1) is a double tap on a displayed object. The double tap, for example, comprises a first touch (touch begin) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, a first liftoff (touch end) for a predetermined phase, a second touch (touch begin) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, and a second liftoff (touch end) for a predetermined phase. In another example, the definition for event 2 (187-2) is a dragging on a displayed object. The dragging, for example, comprises a touch (or contact) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, a movement of the touch across touch-sensitive display 112, and liftoff of the touch (touch end). In some embodiments, the event also includes information for one or more associated event handlers 190.
In some embodiments, event definition 187 includes a definition of an event for a respective user-interface object. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which user-interface object is associated with a sub-event. For example, in an application view in which three user-interface objects are displayed on touch-sensitive display 112, when a touch is detected on touch-sensitive display 112, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which of the three user-interface objects is associated with the touch (sub-event). If each displayed object is associated with a respective event handler 190, the event comparator uses the result of the hit test to determine which event handler 190 should be activated. For example, event comparator 184 selects an event handler associated with the sub-event and the object triggering the hit test.
In some embodiments, the definition for a respective event (187) also includes delayed actions that delay delivery of the event information until after it has been determined whether the sequence of sub-events does or does not correspond to the event recognizer's event type.
When a respective event recognizer 180 determines that the series of sub-events do not match any of the events in event definitions 186, the respective event recognizer 180 enters an event impossible, event failed, or event ended state, after which it disregards subsequent sub-events of the touch-based gesture. In this situation, other event recognizers, if any, that remain active for the hit view continue to track and process sub-events of an ongoing touch-based gesture.
In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer 180 includes metadata 183 with configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how the event delivery system should perform sub-event delivery to actively involved event recognizers. In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how event recognizers may interact, or are enabled to interact, with one another. In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate whether sub-events are delivered to varying levels in the view or programmatic hierarchy.
In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer 180 activates event handler 190 associated with an event when one or more particular sub-events of an event are recognized. In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer 180 delivers event information associated with the event to event handler 190. Activating an event handler 190 is distinct from sending (and deferred sending) sub-events to a respective hit view. In some embodiments, event recognizer 180 throws a flag associated with the recognized event, and event handler 190 associated with the flag catches the flag and performs a predefined process.
In some embodiments, event delivery instructions 188 include sub-event delivery instructions that deliver event information about a sub-event without activating an event handler. Instead, the sub-event delivery instructions deliver event information to event handlers associated with the series of sub-events or to actively involved views. Event handlers associated with the series of sub-events or with actively involved views receive the event information and perform a predetermined process.
In some embodiments, data updater 176 creates and updates data used in application 136-1. For example, data updater 176 updates the telephone number used in contacts module 137, or stores a video file used in video player module. In some embodiments, object updater 177 creates and updates objects used in application 136-1. For example, object updater 177 creates a new user-interface object or updates the position of a user-interface object. GUI updater 178 updates the GUI. For example, GUI updater 178 prepares display information and sends it to graphics module 132 for display on a touch-sensitive display.
In some embodiments, event handler(s) 190 includes or has access to data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178. In some embodiments, data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178 are included in a single module of a respective application 136-1 or application view 191. In other embodiments, they are included in two or more software modules.
It shall be understood that the foregoing discussion regarding event handling of user touches on touch-sensitive displays also applies to other forms of user inputs to operate multifunction devices 100 with input devices, not all of which are initiated on touch screens. For example, mouse movement and mouse button presses, optionally coordinated with single or multiple keyboard presses or holds; contact movements such as taps, drags, scrolls, etc. on touchpads; pen stylus inputs; movement of the device; oral instructions; detected eye movements; biometric inputs; and/or any combination thereof are optionally utilized as inputs corresponding to sub-events which define an event to be recognized.
Device 100 may also include one or more physical buttons, such as “home” or menu button 204. As described previously, menu button 204 may be used to navigate to any application 136 in a set of applications that may be executed on device 100. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the menu button is implemented as a soft key in a GUI displayed on touch screen 112.
In one embodiment, device 100 includes touch screen 112, menu button 204, push button 206 for powering the device on/off and locking the device, volume adjustment button(s) 208, subscriber identity module (SIM) card slot 210, headset jack 212, and docking/charging external port 124. Push button 206 is, optionally, used to turn the power on/off on the device by depressing the button and holding the button in the depressed state for a predefined time interval; to lock the device by depressing the button and releasing the button before the predefined time interval has elapsed; and/or to unlock the device or initiate an unlock process. In an alternative embodiment, device 100 also accepts verbal input for activation or deactivation of some functions through microphone 113. Device 100 also, optionally, includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165 for detecting intensity of contacts on touch screen 112 and/or one or more tactile output generators 167 for generating tactile outputs for a user of device 100.
Each of the above-identified elements in
Attention is now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces that may be implemented on, for example, portable multifunction device 100.
It should be noted that the icon labels illustrated in
Although some of the examples which follow will be given with reference to inputs on touch screen display 112 (where the touch-sensitive surface and the display are combined), in some embodiments, the device detects inputs on a touch-sensitive surface that is separate from the display, as shown in
Additionally, while the following examples are given primarily with reference to finger inputs (e.g., finger contacts, finger tap gestures, finger swipe gestures), it should be understood that, in some embodiments, one or more of the finger inputs are replaced with input from another input device (e.g., a mouse-based input or stylus input). For example, a swipe gesture is, optionally, replaced with a mouse click (e.g., instead of a contact) followed by movement of the cursor along the path of the swipe (e.g., instead of movement of the contact). As another example, a tap gesture is, optionally, replaced with a mouse click while the cursor is located over the location of the tap gesture (e.g., instead of detection of the contact followed by ceasing to detect the contact). Similarly, when multiple user inputs are simultaneously detected, it should be understood that multiple computer mice are, optionally, used simultaneously, or a mouse and finger contacts are, optionally, used simultaneously.
Techniques for detecting and processing touch intensity may be found, for example, in related applications: International Patent Application Serial No. PCT/US2013/040061, titled “Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Displaying User Interface Objects Corresponding to an Application,” filed May 8, 2013 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.
In some embodiments, device 500 has one or more input mechanisms 506 and 508. Input mechanisms 506 and 508, if included, can be physical. Examples of physical input mechanisms include push buttons and rotatable mechanisms. In some embodiments, device 500 has one or more attachment mechanisms. Such attachment mechanisms, if included, can permit attachment of device 500 with, for example, hats, eyewear, earrings, necklaces, shirts, jackets, bracelets, watch straps, chains, trousers, belts, shoes, purses, backpacks, and so forth. These attachment mechanisms may permit device 500 to be worn by a user.
Input mechanism 508 may be a microphone, in some examples. Personal electronic device 500 can include various sensors, such as GPS sensor 532, accelerometer 534, directional sensor 540 (e.g., compass), gyroscope 536, motion sensor 538, and/or a combination thereof, all of which can be operatively connected to I/O section 514.
Memory 518 of personal electronic device 500 can be a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, for storing computer-executable instructions, which, when executed by one or more computer processors 516, for example, can cause the computer processors to perform the techniques described above, including processes 1500-2000 (
As used here, the term “affordance” refers to a user-interactive graphical user interface object that may be displayed on the display screen of devices 100, 300, and/or 500 (
As used herein, the term “focus selector” refers to an input element that indicates a current part of a user interface with which a user is interacting. In some implementations that include a cursor or other location marker, the cursor acts as a “focus selector” so that when an input (e.g., a press input) is detected on a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touchpad 355 in
As used in the specification and claims, the term “characteristic intensity” of a contact refers to a characteristic of the contact based on one or more intensities of the contact. In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is based on multiple intensity samples. The characteristic intensity is, optionally, based on a predefined number of intensity samples, or a set of intensity samples collected during a predetermined time period (e.g., 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10 seconds) relative to a predefined event (e.g., after detecting the contact, prior to detecting liftoff of the contact, before or after detecting a start of movement of the contact, prior to detecting an end of the contact, before or after detecting an increase in intensity of the contact, and/or before or after detecting a decrease in intensity of the contact). A characteristic intensity of a contact is optionally based on one or more of: a maximum value of the intensities of the contact, a mean value of the intensities of the contact, an average value of the intensities of the contact, a top 10 percentile value of the intensities of the contact, a value at the half maximum of the intensities of the contact, a value at the 90 percent maximum of the intensities of the contact, or the like. In some embodiments, the duration of the contact is used in determining the characteristic intensity (e.g., when the characteristic intensity is an average of the intensity of the contact over time). In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is compared to a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an operation has been performed by a user. For example, the set of one or more intensity thresholds may include a first intensity threshold and a second intensity threshold. In this example, a contact with a characteristic intensity that does not exceed the first threshold results in a first operation, a contact with a characteristic intensity that exceeds the first intensity threshold and does not exceed the second intensity threshold results in a second operation, and a contact with a characteristic intensity that exceeds the second threshold results in a third operation. In some embodiments, a comparison between the characteristic intensity and one or more thresholds is used to determine whether or not to perform one or more operations (e.g., whether to perform a respective operation or forgo performing the respective operation) rather than being used to determine whether to perform a first operation or a second operation.
In some embodiments, a portion of a gesture is identified for purposes of determining a characteristic intensity. For example, a touch-sensitive surface may receive a continuous swipe contact transitioning from a start location and reaching an end location, at which point the intensity of the contact increases. In this example, the characteristic intensity of the contact at the end location may be based on only a portion of the continuous swipe contact, and not the entire swipe contact (e.g., only the portion of the swipe contact at the end location). In some embodiments, a smoothing algorithm may be applied to the intensities of the swipe contact prior to determining the characteristic intensity of the contact. For example, the smoothing algorithm optionally includes one or more of: an unweighted sliding-average smoothing algorithm, a triangular smoothing algorithm, a median filter smoothing algorithm, and/or an exponential smoothing algorithm. In some circumstances, these smoothing algorithms eliminate narrow spikes or dips in the intensities of the swipe contact for purposes of determining a characteristic intensity.
The intensity of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface may be characterized relative to one or more intensity thresholds, such as a contact-detection intensity threshold, a light press intensity threshold, a deep press intensity threshold, and/or one or more other intensity thresholds. In some embodiments, the light press intensity threshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device will perform operations typically associated with clicking a button of a physical mouse or a trackpad. In some embodiments, the deep press intensity threshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device will perform operations that are different from operations typically associated with clicking a button of a physical mouse or a trackpad. In some embodiments, when a contact is detected with a characteristic intensity below the light press intensity threshold (e.g., and above a nominal contact-detection intensity threshold below which the contact is no longer detected), the device will move a focus selector in accordance with movement of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface without performing an operation associated with the light press intensity threshold or the deep press intensity threshold. Generally, unless otherwise stated, these intensity thresholds are consistent between different sets of user interface figures.
An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the light press intensity threshold to an intensity between the light press intensity threshold and the deep press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as a “light press” input. An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the deep press intensity threshold to an intensity above the deep press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as a “deep press” input. An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the contact-detection intensity threshold to an intensity between the contact-detection intensity threshold and the light press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as detecting the contact on the touch-surface. A decrease of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity above the contact-detection intensity threshold to an intensity below the contact-detection intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as detecting liftoff of the contact from the touch-surface. In some embodiments, the contact-detection intensity threshold is zero. In some embodiments, the contact-detection intensity threshold is greater than zero.
In some embodiments described herein, one or more operations are performed in response to detecting a gesture that includes a respective press input or in response to detecting the respective press input performed with a respective contact (or a plurality of contacts), where the respective press input is detected based at least in part on detecting an increase in intensity of the contact (or plurality of contacts) above a press-input intensity threshold. In some embodiments, the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold (e.g., a “down stroke” of the respective press input). In some embodiments, the press input includes an increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold and a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact below the press-input intensity threshold, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the subsequent decrease in intensity of the respective contact below the press-input threshold (e.g., an “up stroke” of the respective press input).
In some embodiments, the device employs intensity hysteresis to avoid accidental inputs sometimes termed “jitter,” where the device defines or selects a hysteresis intensity threshold with a predefined relationship to the press-input intensity threshold (e.g., the hysteresis intensity threshold is X intensity units lower than the press-input intensity threshold or the hysteresis intensity threshold is 75%, 90%, or some reasonable proportion of the press-input intensity threshold). Thus, in some embodiments, the press input includes an increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold and a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold that corresponds to the press-input intensity threshold, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the subsequent decrease in intensity of the respective contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold (e.g., an “up stroke” of the respective press input). Similarly, in some embodiments, the press input is detected only when the device detects an increase in intensity of the contact from an intensity at or below the hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity at or above the press-input intensity threshold and, optionally, a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact to an intensity at or below the hysteresis intensity, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the press input (e.g., the increase in intensity of the contact or the decrease in intensity of the contact, depending on the circumstances).
For ease of explanation, the descriptions of operations performed in response to a press input associated with a press-input intensity threshold or in response to a gesture including the press input are, optionally, triggered in response to detecting either: an increase in intensity of a contact above the press-input intensity threshold, an increase in intensity of a contact from an intensity below the hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity above the press-input intensity threshold, a decrease in intensity of the contact below the press-input intensity threshold, and/or a decrease in intensity of the contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to the press-input intensity threshold. Additionally, in examples where an operation is described as being performed in response to detecting a decrease in intensity of a contact below the press-input intensity threshold, the operation is, optionally, performed in response to detecting a decrease in intensity of the contact below a hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to, and lower than, the press-input intensity threshold.
Attention is now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces and associated processes that may be implemented on a multifunction device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface, such as devices 100, 300, and/or 500 (
User interfaces for configuring an electronic device are illustrated by exemplary screens that one or more devices 100, 300, and/or 500 can display as part of a device setup process.

Welcome screen 606 may also include an affordance 610 showing the text “NEXT”. As used here, the term “affordance” refers to a user-interactive graphical user interface object that may be displayed on the display screen of device 600 as well as devices 100, 300, and/or 500 (
In the example of
In one embodiment, electronic device 600 continues the initialization process by transitioning the display to an optional personalized message screen. A personalized message screen may include a personalized message containing any desired text, image, icon, animation, video, or the like and may have been received and loaded onto the device prior to shipping.
Personalized message screen 612 also includes affordances 620 and 622. Affordance 620 has an icon including the text “NEXT”. A user may select affordance 620 to instruct device 600 to continue to the next step or screen in the initialization process. That is, in response to a tap gesture on affordance 620, electronic device 600 continues the initialization process. Affordance 622 includes an icon of an arrow head pointing to the left. A user may select affordance 622 to cause device 600 to display the previous screen. That is, in response to a tap gesture on affordance 622, electronic device 600 returns to a previous step or displays a screen displayed prior to screen 612.
In one embodiment, the personalized message 614 is created or chosen by a user and is received and loaded onto device 600 before device 600 is initially configured. The personalized message 614 may be personalized for an intended user of the electronic device 600. For example, the message 614 shown in
Upon detecting an instruction to power-on device 600 (e.g., via a user input or software command), device 600 may determine whether a device configuration sequence has previously been initiated or completed. In response to determining that the device configuration sequence has not previously been initiated or that the device configuration sequence was initiated but not completed, the electronic device may display a personalized message screen 612 with the personalized message 614 before initiating the device configuration sequence or during the device configuration sequence. Alternatively, in response to determining that the device configuration sequence has previously been initiated and completed, the electronic device may bypass display of the personalized message screen and display the next scheduled screen.
In some embodiments, the personalized electronic message 614 is not displayed again after an initial device configuration has been completed. However, the electronic device 600 may also be capable of being reset so that it returns to a state in which it is as though device 600 has never been configured (e.g., the device configuration sequence has not previously been initiated or completed). In this case, the personalized electronic message 614 may be displayed again upon power-on after having been reset.
Turning now to
Instruction screen 700 also includes affordances 704 and 706. Affordance 704 has an icon including the text “NEXT”. Selecting affordance 704 may instruct device 600 to continue to the next step or screen. That is, in response to a tap gesture on affordance 704, electronic device 600 continues the setup process. A user may select affordance 704 to indicate that the user has complied or intends to comply with the instruction 702. In an alternate embodiment, the device detects, using one or more biometric sensors, that the user has positioned the device and advances to screen 710 without the need for user contacting affordance 704. Affordance 706 includes an icon of an arrow head pointing to the left. A user may select affordance 706 to cause device 600 to display the previous screen. That is, in response to a tap gesture on affordance 706, electronic device 600 returns to a previous step or displays a screen displayed prior to screen 700.
The external device may operate in a pairing mode that allows it to pair with another device, such as device 600. As used herein, pairing mode refers to an operating mode in which two devices attempt to register one another for future wireless communications. For example, the process of initially connecting two Bluetooth-enabled devices involves entering into pairing mode on the devices.
In some embodiments, wireless communication, for purposes of pairing, occurs over a peer-to-peer wireless communication protocol such as Bluetooth and/or Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE). In some embodiments, wireless communication for purposes of pairing functionality utilizes more than one wireless communication protocol. For example, WiFi may be used in addition to BTLE. In these embodiments, an initial communication between two devices may occur over a lower powered protocol, such as BTLE, even if the protocol yields a slower data transfer speed. Subsequent communications may occur over a secondary network that is relatively faster, such as WiFi.
The pairing mode of the external device may be invoked by running a software program. The software program may be part of an operating system or an application program. In one embodiment, the external device displays an affordance (e.g., a selectable icon) representing an application for pairing the external device with another device (e.g., device 600). Selecting the application affordance may launch the application and invoke the pairing mode.
In some embodiments, the application affordance is displayed on the external device only when device 600 is within communication range of the external device. For example, device 600 may wirelessly transmit data that represents a request to pair or that indicates it is capable of pairing with another device. If the external device is not within communication range, the affordance is not displayed. However, if the external device receives the data, and therefore is within communication range of device 600, then the application affordance is displayed.
In another embodiment, when the external device is not within range, the application affordance is displayed but in a manner which indicates that the application cannot be launched. For example, the application affordance may appear greyed-out or semi-transparent to indicate that the application cannot be launched. When the external device comes within communication range of device 600, the visual appearance of the application affordance may be changed to indicate that the application can be invoked.
In some embodiments, the external device may include a setting that allows a user to turn on or off a range-dependent display feature of the application affordance. That is, the user may determine whether or not the display and/or appearance of the application affordance should depend on whether the external device is within range of a device with which it can pair.
Returning to
Instruction screen 710 also includes affordances 714 and 716. Affordance 714 has an icon including the text “NEXT”. Selecting affordance 714 may instruct device 600 to continue to the next step or screen. That is, in response to a tap gesture on affordance 714, electronic device 600 continues the setup process. Accordingly, a user may select affordance 714 to indicate that the user has complied or intends to comply with the instruction 712. That is, selecting affordance 714 may indicate that the user has or intends to launch an application program for pairing the phone with the electronic device. Affordance 716 includes an icon of an arrow head pointing to the left. A user may select affordance 716 to cause device 600 to display the previous screen. That is, in response to a tap gesture on affordance 716, electronic device 600 returns to a previous step or displays a screen displayed prior to screen 710.
2. Pairing
Instruction screen 800 also includes an image containing a pattern 804. The displayed image may include wavelengths that are visible to the human eye. Alternatively, the image may only include wavelengths that are invisible to the human eye, but which can be produced by the display on device 600 and detected by the camera of phone 850. In one embodiment, the instruction screen 800 may display an invisible image containing the pattern 804 along with a visible image. The visible image may be aesthetically appealing to the user, while the invisible image may be less appealing but contains more information and/or is easier to recognize and/or process by a processor facilitating the pairing.
The pattern 804 may be used to identify or authenticate the device 600. In one embodiment, the pattern comprises identifying information of the device 600. Identifying information may include any design, symbol, pattern, sequence, indication, or the like that identifies the device 600, such as a quick response code or a bar code. The identifying information may be unique to device 600 or may generally indicate the type of device (e.g., iPhone®, wearable electronic device, etc.).
External device 850 may process the obtained image 852 to extract the identifying information contained in the pattern 804. External device 850 may then use the extracted identifying information to authenticate the device 600 for pairing. In one embodiment, the electronic device 600 transmits data via wireless communication. The data may include information identifying the electronic device 600. The data may also include information representative of the pattern displayed on screen 800. Electronic device 600 may send the data in response to an indication that the user has launched or intends to launch an application program for pairing the user's phone with device 600 (e.g., selecting affordance 714 on screen 700 as described above).
The external device 850 may receive the data transmitted by electronic device 600 and determine whether the identifying information in the received data corresponds with the identifying information in the image of the pattern obtained by the camera. If the external device 850 determines that the received data corresponds with the identifying information in pattern 804, then the external device 850 may register device 600 as a paired device. Alternatively, if the external device 850 determines that the received data does not correspond with the identifying information in pattern 804, then the external device 850 may not register device 600 as a paired device and/or may continue to receive data.
Registering device 600 as a paired device may be done in various ways. In one embodiment, in response to determining that the received data corresponds with the identifying information, the external device 850 may transmit, e.g., via wireless communication, data representing a request to pair with the device 600. In another embodiment, device 600 may transmit data representing a request to pair with an external device. External device 850 may receive the data and accept the request to pair after authenticating device 600 as described above.
As mentioned above, the data transmitted by device 600 may include data indicative of the pattern 804. If so, the external device 850 may compare the data indicative of the pattern against the pattern 804 in determining whether the received data corresponds with the identifying information.
In another embodiment, the pairing mode of external device 850 may initially be in a first state in which the external device 850 will not pair with the electronic device 600 without further input or action. To switch to a state in which the external device 850 will pair, external device 850 may process picture 852 and determine whether pattern 804 corresponds with at least one pattern in a set of predetermined patterns. The set of predetermined patterns may include one or more patterns that can be recognized by the external device 850 and cause the external device 850 to operate in a state in which it will pair with another device. The set of predetermined patterns may be included with a program that facilitates pairing, downloaded from the Internet, or obtained by some other means. In response to a determination that the pattern 804 corresponds with one or more predetermined patterns, the pairing mode is set to a second state in which the external device 850 will pair with another electronic device. Alternatively, in response to a determination that the pattern 804 does not correspond with one or more predetermined patterns, the pairing mode may be kept in the first state.
In one embodiment, while in the second state, the external device 850 may wirelessly transmit a request to pair and attempt to pair with any device that accepts the request to pair. In another embodiment, while in the second state, the external device 850 may receive a request to pair from device 600, accept the received request, and attempt to pair with the requesting device (i.e., device 600). That is, while the pairing mode is set to the second state, the external device 850 may receive the data transmitted by the device 600 and, in response to receiving the data from device 600, register the device 600 as a paired device.
Returning to
Although pairing as described above relies on a displayed pattern (e.g., pattern 804), there are various alternative methods for pairing two devices. In one embodiment, device 600 may be paired with the external device 850 by tapping the external device 850 with the device 600, or vice versa. The external device 850 may include sensors such as those described above (e.g., accelerometers, gyroscopes, etc.) to detect movement indicating that the external device 850 has been tapped. In one embodiment, tapping the external device 850 causes it to be set in a state in which it will pair with another device.
Although not shown, instruction screen 900 may include affordances analogous to affordances 714 and 716 described above that provide the ability to return to a previous screen or process or advance to a subsequent screen or process.
Once the device 600 has paired with the external device 850, the device 600 and/or the external device 850 may provide an indication that the devices have paired. The indication may include an aural indication, such as a chime, ping, beep, tune, or the like. The indication may also, or alternatively, include a haptic indication, such as tactile feedback in the form of buzzing, vibrating, or pulsing. In one embodiment, each device provides an indication simultaneously with the other. In another embodiment, the devices provide indications one after the other in a back-and-forth manner which indicates that the two devices are in sync.
The device 600 and/or the external device 850 may also provide a visible indication that pairing has occurred.
As mentioned above, pairing may create a communication link between the electronic device 600 the external device 850. Once the two devices are connected, data may be transferred wirelessly between the two devices over the communication link. In one embodiment, after registering the device 600 as a paired device, the external device 850 may send user information to the device 600. The external device 850 may access user information from local storage or from a remote source (e.g., a web server) via, for example, a WiFi connection. User information may include WiFi settings, contact information of a user's contacts, information identifying one or more applications installed on the external device 850, notification settings, identification information about the user or the external device 850, default device settings (e.g., language, font size, etc.), or the like.
User information may also include service settings. Exemplary services may provide the capability to connect wirelessly to the Internet or to determine the location of the phone. Other services may provide diagnostic capabilities or an Intelligent Automated Assistant as described in U.S. Utility application Ser. No. 12/987,982, entitled “Intelligent Automated Assistant,” filed Jan. 10, 2011.
In one embodiment, the transfer of user information must be complete before proceeding to the next step in the setup process. Alternatively, transfer of user information may continue in parallel with subsequent steps of the setup process.
3. Configuration
Setting up an electronic device may also include a configuration sequence in which various device parameters are set and/or confirmed. A configuration sequence may include, among other things, setting and/or confirming a face image to be displayed on the electronic device and/or the status of service agreements.
If the device is wearable, configuration may also include setting and/or confirming the orientation in which the device is to be worn. In one embodiment, the device 600 is a wearable electronic device, such as a watch intended to be worn on a user's wrist.
In one embodiment, the orientation of the device 600 may determine the direction in which information is displayed on the screen. That is, the orientation may correspond to a display orientation of the device. For example, if the device 600 is intended to be worn on a user's left wrist with the rotatable input mechanism 601 on the right, the display should be oriented such that the right side of a displayed screen is on the same side as the rotatable input mechanism 601. However, if the device 600 is oriented such that the rotatable input mechanism 601 is on the left, the screen should be displayed so that the right side of the screen is displayed on the side opposite the rotatable input mechanism 601. Accordingly, a first orientation (e.g., rotatable input mechanism orientation LEFT) may correspond to a first display orientation of a wearable electronic device, and a second orientation (e.g., rotatable input mechanism orientation RIGHT) may correspond to a second display orientation. In the example provided above, the second display orientation is rotated 180 degrees relative to the first display orientation.
The orientation of the device 600 may also determine the response to rotation of the rotatable input mechanism 601. In one embodiment, setting the rotatable input mechanism orientation to “RIGHT” causes device 600 to perform a scroll-up operation on displayed information in response to a clockwise rotation of the rotatable input mechanism 601 and a scroll-down operation in response to a counter-clockwise rotation. When the rotatable input mechanism orientation is set to “LEFT”, electronic device 600 performs a scroll-up operation in response to a counter-clockwise rotation of the rotatable input mechanism 601 and a scroll-down operation in response to a clockwise rotation. Alternatively, an orientation of “RIGHT” may cause the device to scroll-up in response to a counter-clockwise rotation, and an orientation of “LEFT” may cause the device to scroll-up in response to a clockwise rotation.
Turning now to
Configuration interface screen 1110 includes text 1112 prompting the user to select an orientation in which the user intends to wear the electronic device 600. Configuration interface screen also includes affordances 1114, 1115, 1116, and 1117, which allow a user to select a desired wrist orientation and rotatable input mechanism orientation.
In one embodiment, device 600 may send data to external device 850 to inform it of the current orientation status. This may allow the affordances associated with the current orientation status to be highlighted. For example, affordances 1114 and 1117 may be highlighted to indicate that the wrist orientation of electronic device 600 is set to “LEFT” and the rotatable input mechanism orientation is set to “RIGHT”, as shown in
A user may change the orientation status of device 600 using external device 850 by selecting one of the affordances associated with a different orientation. For example, a user may select affordance 1115 to change the wrist orientation from “LEFT” to “RIGHT”. In response to selection of an affordance associated with a different orientation, external device 850 may send data representing the selected orientation status to electronic device 600. In response to receiving the selected orientation status, device 600 may set the orientation to the selected value. Furthermore, external device 850 may update screen 1110 to highlight the affordance associated with the newly selected orientation.
In another embodiment, the device 600 may be configured to determine how the device is being worn based on the motion and position of the device. The device 600 may include sensors to detect that it is being worn and to track the motion and position (e.g., spatial orientation) of the device. Device 600 may then determine the wrist and rotatable input mechanism orientations based on the detected motion and position. For example, motion from left to right while the device 600 is being raised may indicate that the device is being worn on the user's left wrist.
In another embodiment, external device 850 may determine the orientation of device 600 based on an image of device 600. For example, image 852 described above with respect to pairing device 600 with external device 850 may include a representation of device 600 positioned on the user. External device 850 may process image 852 to determine the orientation of device 600 based on the position of the rotatable input mechanism 601, angle of the display and/or text, features of the user's arm included in the image, and/or other features or indications of orientation that may be extracted from image 852. In response to determining the orientation of device 600, external device 850 may send data to device 600 representing the determined orientation. Device 600 may then set the orientation status in response to receiving the data.
Turning now to
The affordances can be selected to change the status of the face on device 600. In response to selection of an affordance corresponding to a particular face, external device 850 may highlight the selected affordance and send data representing the selected face to device 600. In response to receiving the data representing the selected face, device 600 may set the face to the selected face.
Returning to
In the descriptions above, device 600 has been referred to as the “device” and external device 850 has been referred to as the “external device.” However, it should be recognized that external device 850 can be referred to as a “device” and device 600 can be referred to as an “external device”. For example, from the perspective of external device 850, device 600 is an external device.
Process 1500 provides an intuitive way to set up an electronic device. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user when pairing an electronic device with another electronic device, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to set up a device more quickly and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
At block 1502, a wireless communications pairing mode for pairing the electronic device (e.g., 850) with an external device (e.g., 600) is invoked. At block 1504, an image is obtained via the camera.

At block 1506, data is received from the external device. At block 1508, a determination is made whether the received data corresponds with the identifying information. At block 1510, in response to a determination that the received data corresponds with the identifying information, the external device is registered as a paired device.

At block 1702, a wireless communications pairing mode for pairing the electronic device (e.g., 850) with an external device (e.g., 600) is invoked. At block 1704, data is received from the external device. At block 1706, movement indicative of a physical contact at the electronic device is detected. At block 1708, in response to receiving the data and detecting the movement, the external device is registered as a paired device.
Process 1800 provides an intuitive way to set up an electronic device. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user when configuring the electronic device, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to set up a device more quickly and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
At block 1802, a configuration interface (e.g., 1110) for configuring an orientation in which a wearable electronic device (e.g., 600) with an asymmetric geometry is to be worn is displayed. At block 1804, a user selection of the orientation is detected. In some embodiments (e.g., touchscreen embodiments), the device that is performing process 1800 has a touch screen display and a touch-sensitive surface is on the display. In some embodiments (e.g., non-touchscreen embodiments), the device has a display separate from the touch-sensitive surface. The exact user input used to select the orientation during block 1802 may also be different. For example, in touchscreen embodiments, a displayed affordance (e.g., 1114, 1115, 1116, 1117) associated with the orientation may be responsive to touch input using a touch object, such as a tap, a long-duration touch, a flick, a swipe, or another applicable touch-based gesture. In non-touchscreen embodiments, the displayed affordance may be responsive to mouse events generated using a mouse or equivalent input device, such as a click, double click, drag, and so forth. Combinations of the embodiments are possible. For example, a touchscreen device can be responsive to an external wireless mouse, thus devices in the touchscreen embodiments can also be responsive to mouse and mouse cursor input techniques. Likewise, a non-touchscreen device can be responsive to a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touchpad), thus devices of the non-touchscreen embodiments can also be responsive to touch input.
At block 1806, data representing the selected orientation is sent to the wearable electronic device (e.g., 600), where the selected orientation corresponds to a display orientation of the wearable electronic device. Optionally, (1) the configuration interface comprises a first setting (e.g., 1114, 1115, 1116, 1117) representing a first orientation and a second setting (e.g., 1114, 1115, 1116, 1117) representing a second orientation, (2) a selection of the first orientation corresponds to a first display orientation of the wearable electronic device, and (3) a selection of the second orientation corresponds to a second display orientation of the wearable electronic device, where the second display orientation is rotated 180 degrees related to the first display orientation.
Process 1900 provides a personalized experience upon set up of an electronic device. The method may limit the display of a personalized message to appear only during an initial configuration of the device, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to set up a device more quickly and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
At block 1902, a personalized electronic message (e.g., 614) is stored, where the electronic message is stored before an initial device configuration of the electronic device. At block 1904, a user instruction to power-on the electronic device is detected. At block 1906, a determination is made whether the device configuration sequence has previously been initiated or completed. At block 1908, in response to a determination that the device configuration sequence has not previously been initiated or completed, the electronic message (e.g., 614) is displayed upon power-on of the electronic device. At block 1910, the device configuration sequence is initiated. At block 1912, a user interface screen for device configuration (e.g., 700, 710, 800, 900, 1100, 1200) is displayed.
Process 2000 provides an intuitive way to set up an electronic device. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user when configuring the device and pairing it with another device, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to set up a device more quickly and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
At block 2002, at least one device initialization screen (e.g., 602, 606, 612) is displayed on the touch-sensitive display of the device. At block 2004, an instruction screen (e.g., 800, 900) is displayed instructing a user to pair an external device with the electronic device. At block 2006, first data is sent via wireless communication. At block 2008, a pattern (e.g., 804) comprising identifying information of the electronic device is displayed. At block 2010, second data indicating that the external device and the electronic device have been paired using the first data is received. At block 2012, an aural or haptic indication that the electronic device and the external device have been paired is provided.
