Embodiment Construction

[0025] Many electronic devices have graphical user interfaces that organize multiple images. For example, organize multiple images according to the capture date of the corresponding images. The apparatus described below improves upon these methods by obtaining a collection of media items, ordering the media items in chronological order according to a time indicator associated with each of the media items. The device is based, at least in part, on the relationship between attributes (e.g., metadata including time, date, location, altitude, speed, network connection, weather, biometrics, facial recognition, etc.) of sequentially adjacent media items in the collection of media items. to determine one or more patterns in the set of media items, and to partition the set of media items into a plurality of events including a plurality of multi-item events.

[0026] In some embodiments, the device obtains a collection of media items organized into a hierarchy of granularity levels incl...

Abstract

An electronic device with a display and, optionally, a touch-sensitive surface obtains a collection of media items. In some embodiments, the device determines one or more patterns in the collection based on a comparison between properties of sequentially adjacent items and divides the collection into multiple events that includes a plurality of multi-item events. In some embodiments, the device receives a first request to display a first portion of the collection organized in accordance with a first detailed-granularity level and, in response to the first request, displaying a first plurality of representations of the items. The device receives a second request to display a second portion of the collection organized in accordance with a respective overview-granularity level that corresponds to multiple detailed-granularity levels and, in response to the second request, displays a second plurality of representations of the items.

Description

technical field [0001] This document relates generally to electronic devices with touch-sensitive surfaces, including but not limited to electronic devices with touch-sensitive surfaces that organize collections of media items. Background technique [0002] The use of touch-sensitive surfaces as input devices for computers and other electronic computing devices has grown significantly in recent years. Exemplary touch-sensitive surfaces include touchpads and touchscreen displays. Such surfaces are widely used for manipulating user interface objects on a display. [0003] Exemplary manipulations include adjusting the position and / or size of one or more images or viewing images associated with an image album. Exemplary user interface objects include digital images, video, text, icons, control elements such as buttons, and other graphics. In some cases, a user will need to perform such manipulations of user interface objects in a file management program (e.g., Finder from App...
