Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the methods used to perform these manipulations are cumbersome and inefficient
For example, utilizing a series of mouse-based inputs to select one or more UI objects and perform one or more actions on the selected UI objects is tedious and places a significant cognitive burden on the user
Also, these methods take longer than necessary, wasting energy

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

The present invention discloses an electronic device having a display, optionally a touch-sensitive surface, that obtains a collection of media items. In some embodiments, the apparatus determines one or more patterns in the set based on a comparison between attributes of sequentially adjacent items, and divides the set into a plurality of multi-item events event. In some embodiments, the device receives a first request to display a first portion of the collection organized according to a first level of granularity, and in response to the first request, displays a first plurality of the items express. The device receives a second request to display a second portion of the collection organized according to respective overview granularity levels corresponding to a plurality of detailed granularity levels, and displays a second most of the items in response to the second request. a representation.

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, users will need to perform such manipulations of user interface objects in file management programs (e.g., Finder from Apple...
