[0019] Description of Embodiments

[0020] The following description sets forth exemplary methods, parameters, and the like. It should be recognized, however, that such description is not intended as a limitation on the scope of the present disclosure but is included merely for illustrative purposes.

[0021] In some implementations, an exemplary electronic device plays a content item, such as video content and / or audio content, in a user interface that includes user interface elements for controlling playback of the content item. For example, the user interface includes a scrubber bar and options for changing subtitles, audio, and picture-in-picture settings of the content item that is playing. Such techniques can reduce the cognitive burden on a user who uses the exemplary electronic device and simplify the process for modifying playback of a content item at the electronic device.

[0022] In some implementations, an example electronic device presents a user interface for browsing and switching between content items that are available for playback. For example, the electronic device presents a user interface for browsing content while presenting a content item and / or a channel guide user interface with information about content that is available for playback on the electronic device. Such techniques can reduce the cognitive burden on a user of the example electronic device and simplify the process for browsing and switching content items at the electronic device.

[0023] Although the following description uses the term “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 can be named a second touch and, similarly, a second touch can be named a first touch without departing from the scope of the various described implementations. The first touch and the second touch are both touches, but they are not the same touch.

[0024] The terminology used in the description of the various described implementations herein is for the purpose of describing particular implementations only and is not intended to be limiting. As used in the description of the various described implementations 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 “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.

[0025] The term “if’ optionally means “when,” “while,” or “in response to a determination” or “in response to a detection” according to context. Similarly, the phrase “if it is determined” or “if [a stated condition or event] is detected” is optionally interpreted as meaning “upon a determination” or “in response to a determination” or “upon detecting [a stated condition or event]” or “in response to detecting [a stated condition or event],” according to context.

[0026] Exemplary Devices

[0027] Embodiments of electronic devices, user interfaces for such devices, and associated processes for using such devices are described herein. 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 exemplary embodiments can include a device, device, and device. 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 or a television with a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch-screen display and / or a touchpad). In some embodiments, the device does not have a touch-screen display and / or a touchpad, but is able to output display information for display on a separate display device (such as a user interface of the present disclosure), and is able to receive input information from a separate input device having one or more input mechanisms (such as one or more buttons, a touch-screen display, and / or a touchpad). In some embodiments, the device has a display, but is able to receive input information from a separate input device having one or more input mechanisms (such as one or more buttons, a touch-screen display, and / or a touchpad). In some embodiments, an electronic device is a computer system (e.g., via wireless communication, via wired communication) in communication with a display generation component. The display generation component is configured to provide visual output, such as display via a CRT display, display via an LED display, or display via image projection. In some embodiments, the display generation component is integrated with the computer system. In some embodiments, the display generation component is separate from the computer system. As used herein, “displaying” content includes displaying content (e.g., video data rendered or decoded by display controller 156) by transmitting data (e.g., image data or video data) to an integrated or external display generation component via a wired or wireless connection to visually produce the content.

[0028] 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. In addition, as described above, it should be understood that the display, the touch-sensitive surface, and the electronic device are optionally distributed across two or more devices. Thus, as used in this disclosure, information displayed on an electronic device or received by an electronic device is optionally information that is output by an electronic device to be displayed on a separate display device (touch-sensitive or not). Similarly, as used in this disclosure, input received at an electronic device (e.g., touch input received at a touch-sensitive surface of an electronic device) is optionally input received at a separate input device from which the electronic device receives input information.

[0029] The device typically supports a variety of applications, such as one or more of the following: a drawing application, a presentation application, a word processing application, a website creation application, a disk authoring application, a spreadsheet application, a game 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, a television channel browsing application, and / or a digital video player application.

[0030] Various applications 1046 executing on the device optionally use at least one common physical user-interface device, such as the touch-sensitive surface 1042. One or more functions of the touch-sensitive surface 1042, as well as corresponding information displayed on the device, are optionally adjusted and / or changed based on the application(s) that is active on the device at a particular time. Thus, for instance, when the device is operating in a phone application mode, the touch-sensitive surface 1042 is adjusted and / or changed in accordance with the phone application mode, and when the device is operating in a video application mode, the touch-sensitive surface 1042 is adjusted and / or changed in accordance with the video application mode.

[0031] Attention is now directed towards embodiments of portable or non-portable devices that have a touch-sensitive display. The devices can have other physical user-interface devices, such as a display, as described above. FIG. 1Ais a block diagram illustrating a portable or non-portable multifunction device 100 with a touch-sensitive display 112, in accordance with some embodiments. The touch-sensitive display 112 is sometimes called a "touch screen" for convenience and is sometimes known as a touch-sensitive display system. Device 100 includes memory 102 (which optionally includes one or more computer-readable storage mediums), a memory controller 122, one or more processing units (CPUs) 120, a peripherals interface 118, RF circuitry 108, audio circuitry 110, a speaker 111, a microphone 113, an input / output (I / O) subsystem 106, other input or control devices 116, and an external port 124. Device 100 optionally includes one or more optical sensors 164. Device 100 optionally includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165 for detecting intensity of contacts on device 100 (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface such as touch-sensitive display system 112 of device 100). Device 100 optionally includes one or more tactile output generators 167 for generating tactile outputs on device 100 (e.g., generating tactile outputs on a touch-sensitive surface such as touch-sensitive display system 112 of device 100 or touchpad 355 of device 300). These components optionally communicate over one or more communication buses or signal lines 103.

[0032] The term "intensity" of a contact on a touch-sensitive surface, as used in the specification and claims, 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 proxy for the force or pressure of the 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 optionally register force (or pressure) of contacts 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 (or pressure) of a contact from the multiple force sensors. 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 (or an change in the size of the contact area), the capacitance of the touch- sensitive surface proximate to the contact (or a change in the capacitance of the touch- sensitive surface proximate to the contact), or the resistance of the touch- sensitive surface proximate to the contact (or a change in the resistance of the touch- sensitive surface proximate to the contact) 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 functions with additional device features. For example, a mere depression of a

[0033] As used in the specification and claims, the term "tactile output" refers to physical displacement of a device, detectable by a user with the user's sense of touch, relative to the device's previous position, physical displacement of a component (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface) of a device relative to another component (e.g., a housing) of the device, or displacement of the component relative to a center of mass of the device. For example, in situations where the device or the component of the device is in contact with a surface (e.g., a surface of a finger, palm, or other portion of the user's hand) that is sensitive to touch by a user, the tactile output generated by physical displacement can be interpreted by the user as a tactile sensation corresponding to the physical characteristic 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 a user as a "down click" or "up click" of a physical button even if the touch-sensitive surface does not physically move during the click. In some situations, the tactile sensation corresponding to physical displacement can be felt by the user even if there is no accompanying auditory, visual, or other sensory indication of the click. In some situations, the tactile sensation corresponding to physical displacement is felt by the user even if the user's sensation of touch is reduced or absent. For example, in situations where the device is worn in a pocket, a tactile output generated by physical displacement of the device or a component of the device can be interpreted by a user as a tactile sensation that corresponds to the physical characteristic of the device or the component of the device, even if the tactile sensation is felt through multiple layers of clothing, through a surface on which the pocket is placed (such as a user's leg), or a combination thereof.

[0034] It should be appreciated that device 100 is only one example of a portable or non-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. FIG. 1A The various components shown in FIG. 1A are implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of both hardware and software, including one or more signal processing and / or application-specific integrated circuits. FIG. 1A The various components shown in FIG. 1A are implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of both hardware and software, including one or more signal processing and / or application-specific integrated circuits.

[0035] The peripheral interface 118 can be used to couple the device's input and output peripherals to the CPU 120 and memory 102. The one or more processors 120 run or execute various software programs and / or instruction sets stored in the memory 102 to perform various functions of the device 100 and process data. In some embodiments, the peripheral interface 118, CPU 120, and memory controller 122 are optionally implemented on a single chip, such as the chip 104. In some other embodiments, they are optionally implemented on separate chips.

[0036] RF (radio frequency) circuitry 108 receives and sends RF signals, also called electromagnetic signals. RF circuitry 108 converts electrical signals to / from electromagnetic signals and communicates with communications networks and other communications devices, via the electromagnetic signals. The RF circuitry 108, optionally, includes well-known circuitry for detecting / handling the RF signals, including, for example, antenna system, an RF transceiver, one or more amplifiers, a tuner, one or more oscillators, a digital signal processor, a CODEC chipset, a subscriber identity module (SIM) card, memory, and so forth. The RF circuitry 108, optionally, communicates with networks, such as the Internet, also referred to as the World Wide Web (WWW), an intranet and / or a wireless network, such as a cellular telephone network, a wireless local area network (LAN) and / or a metropolitan area network (MAN), and other devices by wireless communication using, for example, radio frequency (RF) technology. The RF circuitry 108 optionally detects / handles frequency-conversion, such as from RF to baseband, and vice versa.

[0037] 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. Audio data is, optionally, retrieved from and / or transmitted to memory 102 and / or RF circuitry 108 by peripherals interface 118. In some embodiments, audio circuitry 110 also includes a headset jack (e.g., 212 in FIG. 2). The headset jack provides an interface between audio circuitry 110 and removable audio input / output peripherals, such as output-only headphones or a headset with both output (e.g., stereo FIG. 2

[0038] I / O subsystem 106 couples input / output peripherals on device 100, such as touch screen 112 and other input control devices 116, with peripherals interface 118. I / O subsystem 106 optionally includes display controller 156, optical sensor controller 158, intensity sensor controller 159, haptic feedback controller 161, and one or more input controllers 160 for other input or control devices. The one or more input controllers 160 receive / send electrical signals from / to other input control devices 116. The other input control devices 116 optionally include physical buttons (e.g., 208 in FIG. 2, buttons for volume, RO, and / or power, and creation buttons that vary in functionality depending on which application is in use). In some embodiments, input controller(s) 160 optionally are, include, or FIG. 2 FIG. 2 ​​In some embodiments, the electronic device is a computer system in communication with one or more input devices (e.g., via wireless communication, via wired communication). In some embodiments, the one or more input devices include a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touchpad, as part of a touch-sensitive display). In some embodiments, the one or more input devices include one or more camera sensors (e.g., one or more optical sensors 164 and / or one or more depth camera sensors 175), such as to track a user’s gestures (e.g., hand gestures) as input. In some embodiments, the one or more input devices are integrated with the computer system. In some embodiments, the one or more input devices are separate from the computer system.

[0039] A quick press of the down button 206 optionally disengages a lock of touch screen 112 or optionally begins a process that uses a gesture on the touch screen to unlock the device, as described in U.S. Patent Application 11 / 322,549, “Unlocking a Device by Performing Gestures on an Unlock Image,” filed December 23, 2005 (i.e., U.S. Patent No. 7,657,849), which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. A longer press of the down button 206 (e.g., 206) optionally turns the device on or off. The functionality of one or more of the buttons is optionally made user-customizable by mapping of one or more buttons to key commands. Touch screen 112 is used to implement virtual or soft buttons and one or more soft keyboards.

[0040] Touch-sensitive display 112 provides an input interface and an output interface between the device and a user. As described above, the touch-sensitive operations are, optionally, separate from the display operations, such that the display is used for display purposes while the touch-sensitive surface is used for input detection purposes, and the described components and functions are modified accordingly. However, for simplicity, the following description refers to the touch-sensitive display providing both input and output functions. Display controller 156 receives and / or sends electrical signals from / to touch screen 112. Touch screen 112 displays visual output to the user. The visual output optionally includes graphics, text, icons, video, and any combination thereof (collectively termed “graphics”). In some embodiments, some or all of the visual output or graphical content is changed, optionally in response to a change in the state of the device.

[0041] 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.

[0042] Touch screen 112 optionally uses LCD (liquid crystal display) technology, LPD (light emitting polymer display) technology, or LED (light emitting diode) technology, although other display technologies are used in other embodiments. Touch screen 112 and display controller 156 optionally use and technologies described in U.S. Patent Nos. 6,323,846 (Westerman et al.); 6,570,557 (Westerman et al.); and / or 6,677,932 (Westerman et al.), and / or in U.S. Patent Publication No. 2002 / 0015024 Al, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

[0043] The touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of touch screen 112 is optionally similar to the multi-touch-sensitive touchpad described in the following U.S. Patents: 6,323,846 (Westerman et al.); 6,570,557 (Westerman et al.); and / or 6,677,932 (Westerman et al.), and / or in U.S. Patent Publication No. 2002 / 0015024 Al, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. However, touch screen 112 displays visual output from device 100, whereas a touch- sensitive touchpad does not provide visual output.

[0044] The touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of touch screen 112 is described in the following applications: (1) U.S. Patent Application No. 11 / 381,313, "Multipoint Touch Surface Controller," filed May 2, 2006; (2) U.S. Patent Application No. 10 / 840,862, "Multipoint Touchscreen," filed May 6, 2004; (3) U.S. Patent Application No. 10 / 903,964, "Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices," filed July 30, 2004; (4) U.S. Patent Application No. 11 / 048,264, "Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices," filed January 31, 2005; (5) U.S. Patent Application No. 11 / 038,590, "Mode-Based Graphical User Interfaces For Touch Sensitive Input Devices," filed January 18, 2005; (6) U.S. Patent Application No. 11 / 228,758, "Virtual Input Device Placement On A Touch Screen User Interface," filed September 16, 2005; (7) U.S. Patent Application No. 11 / 228,700, "Operation Of A Computer With A Touch Screen Interface," filed September 16, 2005; (8) U.S. Patent Application No. 11 / 228,737, "Activating Virtual Keys Of A Touch-Screen Virtual Keyboard," filed September 16, 2005; and (9) U.S. Patent Application No. 11 / 367,749, "Multi-Functional Hand-Held Device," filed March 3, 2006. All of these applications are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.

[0045] Touch screen 112 optionally has a video resolution in excess of 100 dpi. In some embodiments, the touch screen has a video resolution of about 160 dpi. The user optionally makes contact with touch screen 112 using any suitable object or appendage, such as a stylus, 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 action that the user desires.

[0046] In some embodiments, in addition to the touch screen, device 100 optionally includes a touchpad (not shown) for activating or deactivating particular functions. In some embodiments, the touchpad is a touch-sensitive area that is separate from the touch screen 112 and that does not display visual output. The touchpad optionally is a touch-sensitive surface that is separate from the touch screen 112 or that is an extension of the touch-sensitive surface formed by the touch screen.

Power system 162 optionally includes a power management system, one or more power sources (e.g., battery, alternating current (AC)), a recharging system, a power failure detection circuit, a power converter or inverter, a power status indicator (e.g., a light-emitting diode (LED)) and any other components associated with the generation, management and distribution of power in portable devices.

[0048] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more optical sensors 164. FIG. 1AAn optical sensor coupled to optical sensor controller 158 in I / O subsystem 106 is shown. The optical sensor 164 optionally includes charge coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) optical phototransistors. The optical sensor 164 receives light from the environment, projected through one or more lens, and converts the light to data representing an image. In conjunction with an imaging module 143 (also called a camera module), the optical sensor 164 optionally captures still images or video. In some embodiments, an optical sensor is located on the back of device 100, opposite the touch screen display 112 on the front of the device, so that the touch screen display is enabled for use as a viewfinder for still image and / or video image acquisition. In some embodiments, an optical sensor is located on the front of the device so that the user’s image is, optionally, obtained for video conferencing while the user views the other video conference participants on the touch screen display. In some embodiments, the position of the optical sensor 164 can be changed by the user (e.g., by rotating the lens and the sensor in the device housing so that a single optical sensor 164 is used alongside the touch screen display for both video conferencing and still and / or video image acquisition.

[0049] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165. FIG. 1A A contact intensity sensor coupled to intensity sensor controller 159 in I / O subsystem 106 is shown. The contact intensity sensor 165 optionally includes one or more piezoresistive strain gauges, capacitive force sensors, electric force sensors, piezoelectric force sensors, optical force sensors, capacitive touch-sensitive surfaces, or other intensity sensors (e.g., sensors used to measure the force (or pressure) of a contact

[0050] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more proximity sensors 166. FIG. 1AA proximity sensor 166 coupled to the peripherals interface 118 is shown. The proximity sensor 166 is optionally coupled to the contact intensity sensor 165. The proximity sensor 166 optionally performs as described in U.S. Patent Application Nos. 11 / 241,839, "Proximity Detector In Handheld Device"; 11 / 240,788, "Proximity Detector In Handheld Device"; 11 / 620,702, "Using Ambient Light Sensor To Augment Proximity Sensor Output"; 11 / 586,862, "Automated Response To And Sensing Of User Activity In Portable Devices"; and 11 / 638,251, "Methods And Systems For Automatic Configuration Of Peripherals," which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. In some embodiments, the proximity sensor turns off and disables the touch screen 112 when the multifunction device is placed near the user's ear (e.g., when the user is making a phone call).

[0051] The device 100 optionally also includes one or more tactile output generators 167. FIG. 1A The tactile output generators 167 are coupled to the haptic feedback controller 161 in the I / O subsystem 106. The tactile output generators 167 optionally include one or more electroacoustic devices such as speakers or other audio components and / or electromechanical devices such as a motor, a solenoid, an electroactive polymer, a piezoelectric actuator, an electrostatic actuator or other tactile output generating component (e.g., a component for converting electrical signals into tactile outputs on the device). The contact intensity sensor 165 receives tactile feedback generation instructions from the haptic feedback module 133 and generates tactile outputs on the device 100 that are capable of being felt by a user of the device 100. In some embodiments, at least one tactile output generator is collocated with, or proximate to, a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch- sensitive display screen 112) and, optionally, generates a tactile output by moving the touch-sensitive surface vertically (e.g., in / out of a surface of a device 100) or laterally (e.g., back and forth in the same plane as a surface of the device 100). In some embodiments, at least one tactile output generator sensor is located on the back of a device 100, opposite to where contact intensity sensor 165 or touch screen display 112 is located on the front of the device 100.

[0052] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more accelerometers 168 . FIG. 1A An accelerometer 168 is shown coupled to the peripherals interface 118. Alternatively, the accelerometer 168 is optionally coupled to the input controller 160 in the I / O subsystem 106. The accelerometer 168 optionally implements as described in the following U.S. Patent Publication Nos. 20050190059, entitled “Acceleration-based Theft Detection System for Portable Electronic Devices” and 20060017692, entitled “Methods And Apparatuses For Operating A Portable Device Based On An Accelerometer,” both of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. In some embodiments, information is displayed on the touch screen display in a portrait view or a landscape view based on analysis of data received from one or more accelerometers. The device 100 optionally includes a magnetometer (not shown) and a GPS (or GLONASS or other global navigation system) receiver (not shown) in addition to the accelerometer 168 for obtaining information about the position and orientation (e.g., portrait or landscape) of the device 100.

[0053] In some embodiments, the software components stored in memory 102 include an operating system 126, a communication module (or instruction set) 128, a contact / motion module (or instruction set) 130, a graphics module (or instruction set) 132, a text input module (or instruction set) 134, a global positioning system (GPS) module (or instruction set) 135, and an application (or instruction set) 136. In addition, in some embodiments, memory 102 ( FIG. 1A ) or 370( FIG. 3 ) storage device / global internal state 157, such as FIG. 1A and FIG. 3 . The device / global internal state 157 includes one or more of the following: active application state, which indicates which application (if any) is currently active; display state, which indicates what applications, views, or other information occupy various areas of the touch screen display 112; sensor state, which includes information obtained from the device's various sensors and input control devices 116; and position information relating to the device's position and / or posture.

[0054] The 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 wireless communications between various hardware and software components.

[0055] The 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 the RF circuitry 108 and / or the external port 124. The external port 124 (e.g., Universal Serial Bus (USB), FIREWIRE, etc.) is adapted to couple to other devices, such as a headset or headphones, an earphone or speaker, a display, a printer, a keyboard, a mouse, 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 the iPod® (trademark of Apple Inc.), iPod® (trademark of Apple Inc.) devices. (Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California) and / or the iPod® (trademark of Apple Inc.) devices.

[0056] The contact / motion module 130 optionally detects contact with the touch screen 112 (in conjunction with the display controller 156) and other touch-sensitive devices (e.g., a touchpad or physical click wheel). The 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 movement has occurred (e.g., detecting a finger-dragging event), and determining if an object making contact has been moved (e.g., detecting a finger-lifting event or a contact break event). The contact / motion module 130 receives contact data from the touch screen 112. Determining movement of the contact point includes determining speed (magnitude), velocity (magnitude and direction), and / or acceleration (a change of magnitude and / or direction) of the movement of the contact point, as represented by a series of contact data points. These operations are, optionally, applied to single contact events (e.g., one-finger events) or to multiple simultaneous contact events (e.g., multi-touch events). In some embodiments, the contact / motion module 130 and the display controller 156 detect contact on a touchpad.

[0057] In some embodiments, the contact / motion module 130 determines whether an operation has been performed by the user (e.g., determines whether the user has "clicked" an icon) using a set of one or more intensity thresholds. In some embodiments, at least a subset of the intensity thresholds are determined from software parameters (e.g., the intensity thresholds are not determined by activation thresholds of particular physical actuators, and can be adjusted without changing the physical hardware of the device 100). For example, without changing the hardware of a touchpad or touch screen display, mouse "click" thresholds can be set to any of a large range of predefined thresholds. Additionally, in some implementations, the 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 multiple intensity thresholds at once with a system-wide click on a "strength" parameter).

[0058] The contact / motion module 130 optionally detects contact input by a user. Different gestures on the touch-sensitive surface have different motion profiles (e.g., different patterns of detected motion, timing, and / or intensity of contacts). Thus, a gesture is optionally detected by detecting a particular motion profile. For example, detecting a finger tap gesture includes detecting a finger down event followed by a finger up event at the same location (or substantially the same location) as the finger down event (e.g., at the location of an icon). As another example, detecting a finger swipe gesture on the touch-sensitive surface includes detecting a finger down event followed by one or more finger drag events, and subsequently detecting a finger up (lift-off) event.

[0059] The graphics module 132 includes various known software components for rendering and displaying graphics on the touch screen 112 or other display, including components for changing the visual impact (e.g., brightness, transparency, saturation, contrast, or other visual property) of graphics that are displayed. As used herein, the term "graphics" includes any object that can be displayed to a user, including without limitation text, web pages, icons (such as user-interface objects including soft keys), digital images, videos, animations, and the like.

[0060] In some embodiments, the graphics module 132 stores data representing graphics to be used. Each graphic is optionally assigned a corresponding code. The graphics module 132 receives, from applications etc., one or more codes designated by the applications for the graphics to be displayed, and then generates screen image data to output to the display controller 156. The screen image data can include instructions to display an icon (or a representation of an icon, such as a icon including a soft key) for selection by a user. The software

[0061] Haptic feedback module 133 includes various software components for generating instructions used by tactile output generator 167 to produce tactile outputs at one or more locations on device 100 in response to user interactions with device 100.

[0062] Text input module 134, which is optionally a component of graphics module 132, provides soft keyboards for entering text in various applications (e.g., contacts 137, e-mail 140, IM 141, browser 147, and any other application that needs text input).

[0102] Each of the above-identified modules and applications correspond 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 described herein and other information processing methods). These modules (e.g., sets of instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs, procedures, or modules. Various subsets of these modules optionally combine or are re-arranged in various embodiments. For example, video and music player module 152 optionally combines the video player module and the music player module into a single module (e.g., media player module 152). In some embodiments, memory 102 optionally stores a subset of the modules and data structures identified above. Furthermore, memory 102 optionally stores additional modules and data structures not described above. FIG. 1A

[0103] ​In some embodiments, device 100 is a device for which operation of a predefined set of functions on the device is performed exclusively through touch screen and / or touchpad. By using a touch screen and / or touchpad as the primary input control devices for operating device 100, the number of physical input control devices (e.g., push buttons, dials, etc.) on device 100 is optionally reduced.

[0104] The predefined set of functions performed exclusively through touch screen and / or touchpad optionally includes navigation among user interfaces. In some embodiments, a touchpad, when touched by a user, navigates device 100 from any user interface displayed on device 100 to a home menu, home desktop menu, or root menu. In such embodiments, the touchpad is used to implement a "menu button." In some other embodiments, the menu button is a physical push button or other physical input control device, rather than a touchpad.

[0105] FIG. 1B FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating exemplary components for event handling in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments, memory 102 FIG. 1A ) or memory 370 FIG. 3 ) includes an event classifier 170 (e.g., in operating system 126) and respective application programs 136-1 (e.g., any of the aforementioned application programs 137-151, 155, 380-390).

[0106] Event classifier 170 receives event information and determines an application program 136-1 and an application program view 191 of the application program 136-1 to which to deliver the event information. Event classifier 170 includes an event monitor 171 and an event dispatcher module 174. In some embodiments, application programs 136-1 include an application internal state 192 that indicates one or more current application views that are displayed on touch-sensitive display 112 when the application program is active or executing. In some embodiments, device / global internal state 157 is used by event classifier 170 to determine which application program(s) are currently active, and application internal state 192 is used by event classifier 170 to determine an application program view 191 to which to deliver event information.

[0107] In some embodiments, application internal state 192 includes additional information such as one or more of: resume information to be used when the application program 136-1 resumes execution, user interface state information indicating that information is being displayed or is ready for display by the application program 136-1, a state queue for enabling the user to return to a previous state or view of the application program 136-1, and a repeat / undo queue of previous actions taken by the user.

[0108] Event monitor 171 receives event information from peripherals interface 118. Event information includes information about sub-events (e.g., user touches on touch- sensitive display 112, motion sensor events, or audio sensor events, as examples). Peripherals interface 118 transmits information it receives from I / O subsystem 106 or sensors, such as proximity sensor 166, one or more accelerometers 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 touch-sensitive surface.

[0109] In some embodiments, event monitor 171 sends a request to 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., when a noise threshold is exceeded and / or when an input is received that exceeds a predetermined duration).

[0110] In some embodiments, event categorizer 170 also includes hit view determination module 172 and / or active event recognizer determination module 173.

[0111] When touch-sensitive display 112 displays more than one view, hit view determination module 172 provides a software procedure for determining where a sub-event has occurred within one or more views. A view is made up of controls and other elements that a user is able to see on the display.

[0112] Another aspect of a user interface associated with an application is a set of views, also sometimes referred to herein as application views or user interface windows, in which information is displayed and touch-based gestures occur. The application view (of the respective application) in which a touch is detected optionally corresponds to a programmed level within the application's programmatic or view hierarchy. For example, the lowest level view in which a touch is detected is optionally referred to as the hit view, and the set of events that are recognized as being correctly entered is optionally determined based at least in part on the hit view of an initial touch that begins a touch-based gesture.

[0113] The hit view determination module 172 receives information related to touch-based gesture sub-events. When an application has multiple views organized in a hierarchy, the hit view determination module 172 identifies the hit view as the lowest view in the hierarchy that should handle the sub-event. In most cases, the hit view is the lowest level view in which the sub-event (e.g., the first sub-event in a sequence of sub-events that form an event or potential event) originated. 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.

[0114] The active event recognizer determination module 173 determines which view or views within the view hierarchy should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In some embodiments, the active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that only the hit view should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, the active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that all views that include the physical location of the sub-events are actively engaged views, and thus determines that all actively engaged views should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, even if a touch sub-event is entirely confined to an area associated with one particular view, higher views in the hierarchy will remain actively engaged views.

[0115] The event dispatcher module 174 dispatches event information to event recognizers (e.g., event recognizers 180). In embodiments that include the active event recognizer determination module 173, the event dispatcher module 174 delivers event information to the event recognizers determined by the active event recognizer determination module 173. In some embodiments, the event dispatcher module 174 stores event information in an event queue that is retrieved by the respective event receivers 182.

[0116] In some embodiments, the operating system 126 includes the event classifier 170. Alternatively, the application 136-1 includes the event classifier 170. In yet another embodiment, the event classifier 170 is a standalone module, or part of another module stored in the memory 102, such as the contact / motion module 130.

[0117] In some embodiments, application 136-1 includes multiple event handlers 190 and one or more application views 191, each of which includes instructions for handling touch events that occur within a corresponding view of the application's user interface. Each application view 191 of application 136-1 includes one or more event recognizers 180. Typically, a corresponding application view 191 includes multiple event recognizers 180. In other embodiments, one or more of event recognizers 180 is part of a separate module, such as a user interface toolkit (not shown) or a higher-level object from which application 136-1 inherits methods and other properties. In some embodiments, a corresponding event handler 190 includes one or more of the following: a data updater 176, an object updater 177, a GUI updater 178, and / or event data 179 received from an event classifier 170. Event handler 190 optionally utilizes or calls data updater 176, object updater 177, or GUI updater 178 to update the application's internal state 192. Alternatively, one or more of the application views in application view 191 include one or more corresponding event handlers 190. Additionally, in some embodiments, one or more of data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178 are included in the corresponding application view 191.

[0118] A corresponding event identifier 180 receives event information (e.g., event data 179) from event classifier 170 and identifies an event based on the event information. Event identifier 180 includes an event receiver 182 and an event comparator 184. In some embodiments, event identifier 180 also includes metadata 183 and at least a subset of event delivery instructions 188 (which optionally include sub-event delivery instructions).

[0119] The event receiver 182 receives event information from the event classifier 170. The event information includes information about sub-events such as touches or touch movements. Depending on the sub-event, the event information also includes additional information, such as the location of the sub-event. When the sub-event involves the movement of a touch, the event information optionally also includes the rate and direction of the sub-event. In some embodiments, the event includes the device rotating 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 of the device (also referred to as the device posture).

[0120] Event comparator 184 compares event information to predefined event or sub-event definitions and determines an event or sub-event, or a status of an event or sub-event, based on the comparison. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 includes event definitions 186. Event definitions 186 contain definitions of events (e.g., predefined sequences of sub-events), such as 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 move, touch cancel, and multi-touch. In one example, the definition of event 1 (187-1) is a double tap on a displayed object. For example, a double tap includes a first touch (touch begin) on a displayed object for a predetermined duration, a first liftoff (touch end) for a predetermined duration, a second touch (touch begin) on a displayed object for a predetermined duration, and a second liftoff (touch end) for a predetermined duration. In another example, the definition of event 2 (187-2) is a drag on a displayed object. For example, a drag includes a touch (or contact) on a displayed object for a predetermined duration, movement of the touch on the touch-sensitive display 112, and liftoff of the touch (touch end). In some embodiments, an event also includes information for one or more associated event handlers 190.

[0121] In some embodiments, event definitions 187 include definitions of events for respective user interface objects. 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 that displays three user interface objects 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, event comparator uses the results of the hit test to determine which event handler 190 should be activated. For example, event comparator 184 selects the event handler associated with the sub-event and the object that triggered the hit test.

[0122] In some embodiments, the definition of a respective event (187) also includes a deferred action that delays delivery of event information until it has been determined that a sequence of sub-events does or does not correspond to an event type of the event recognizer.

[0123] When a corresponding event recognizer 180 determines that a sequence of sub-events does not match any event in event definitions 186, the corresponding event recognizer 180 enters the event impossible, event failed, or event ended state, after which subsequent sub-events of the touch-based gesture are ignored. In this case, other event recognizers (if any) that remain active for the hit view continue to track and process sub-events of the ongoing touch-based gesture.

[0124] In some embodiments, corresponding event recognizers 180 include metadata 183 with configurable properties, flags, and / or lists that indicate how the event delivery system should perform sub-event delivery for actively participating event recognizers. In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and / or lists that indicate how event recognizers interact or can interact with each other. In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and / or lists that indicate whether sub-events are delivered to different levels in a view or programmatic hierarchy.

[0125] In some embodiments, when one or more specific sub-events of an event are identified, the corresponding event recognizer 180 activates the event handler 190 associated with the event. In some embodiments, the corresponding event recognizer 180 delivers event information associated with the event to the event handler 190. Activating the event handler 190 is different from sending (and deferred sending) the sub-events to the corresponding hit view. In some embodiments, the event recognizer 180 throws a flag associated with the identified event, and the event handler 190 associated with the flag obtains the flag and performs a predefined process.

[0126] 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 the event information to an event handler associated with the sub-event sequence or to an actively participating view. The event handler associated with the sub-event sequence or the actively participating view receives the event information and executes a predetermined process.

[0127] In some embodiments, data updater 176 creates and updates data used in application 136-1. For example, data updater 176 updates the phone number used in contact 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 the touch-sensitive display.

[0128] In some embodiments, event handler 190 includes data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178, or has access to them and utilizes them as needed. 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.

[0129] It should be understood that the above discussion regarding the handling of events related to user touches on a touch-sensitive display also applies to other forms of user input as well, not only touch events. For example, a mouse move or mouse button actions in conjunction with a single or multi-key keyboard; a joystick movement or button actions; a touch pad move or flick; a handheld device movement or button actions; a detected voice command; a detected eye gesture; a biometric input; and / or any combination thereof are optionally used in place of, or in combination with, touch events. For example, a system having touch-sensitive display 112 and one or more other forms of user input is optional.

[0130] FIG. 2 A portable or non-portable multifunction device 100 having a touch screen 112 in accordance with some embodiments is shown. As described above, multifunction device 100 is described as having various illustrated structures (such as touch screen 112, speaker 111, accelerometer 168, microphone 113, etc.); however, it is understood that these structures optionally reside on separate devices. For example, display-related structures (e.g., displays, speakers, etc.) and / or functionality optionally reside on a separate display device, input-related structures (e.g., touch-sensitive surfaces, microphones, accelerometers, etc.) and / or functionality optionally reside on a separate input device, and the remaining structures and / or functionality optionally reside on multifunction device 100.

[0131] Touch screen 112 optionally displays one or more graphics within user interface (UI) 200. In this embodiment, as well as in others described herein, a user is enabled to select one or more of the graphics by making a gesture on the graphics, for example, with one or more fingers 202 (not drawn to scale in the figure) or one or more styluses 203 (not drawn to scale in the figure). In some embodiments, selection of one or more graphics occurs when the user breaks contact with the one or more graphics. In some embodiments, the gesture optionally includes one or more taps, one or more swipes (from left to right, right to left, upward, and / or downward) and / or a scrolling of a finger (from right to left, left to right, upward and / or downward) that has been placed in contact with device 100. In some implementations or scenarios, an inadvertent or unsolicited touch of graphics does not select the graphics. For example, a swipe gesture that sweeps over an application icon optionally does not select the corresponding application when the gesture is a tap.

[0132] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more physical buttons, such as “home” or menu button 204. As described previously, menu button 204 optionally remains exposed along a side of device 100 so that it is always readily accessible. Alternatively, menu button 204 is implemented as a soft key in a GUI displayed by user interface 112.

[0133] In some embodiments, device 100 includes touch screen 112, menu button 204, push button 206 for powering the device on / off and placing device 100 in a sleep state, one or more volume adjustment buttons 208, user identity module (SIM) card slot 210, headset jack 212, and docking / charging external port 124. Push button 206 is, optionally, used to power-on (or power-off) the device, similar to the wake button 208 shown in Figure 1A. In some embodiments, push button 206 is also used to lock the device; activate or deactivate a "do not disturb" feature; or a personal information manager (PIM) application, such as email, or data synchronization. In some embodiments, dedicated volume buttons (e.g., buttons 208) are provided for a mobile device and another set of volume buttons is omitted. In some embodiments, the volume buttons are implemented as soft keys in a GUI.

As described above, the device 300 includes a display and a touch-sensitive surface, in contrast, in some embodiments, the device 300 optionally communicates with a display and a touch-sensitive surface on other devices. Additionally, the device 300 is not necessarily portable. In some embodiments, the device 300 is a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a tablet computer, a multimedia player device such as a television or a set-top box, a navigation device, an educational device such as a child's learning toy, a game system, or a control device (e.g., a home or industrial controller). The device 300 typically includes one or more processing units (CPU's) 310, one or more network or other communications interfaces 360, memory 370, and one or more communication buses 320 for interconnecting these components. The communication buses 320 optionally include circuitry (sometimes called a chipset) that interconnects and controls communications between system components. The device 300 includes input / output (I / O) interface 330 comprising display 340, which is typically a touch screen display. I / O interface 330 also optionally includes a keyboard and / or mouse (or other pointing device) 350 and touchpad 355, tactile output generator 357 for generating tactile outputs on the device 300 (e.g., similar to tactile output generator 167 described above with reference to FIG. 1A the touch-sensitive surface 112), sensors 359 (e.g., optical, acceleration, proximity, touch and / or contact intensity sensors similar to contact intensity sensor 165 described above with reference to FIG. 1A the touch-sensitive surface 112). Memory 370 includes high-speed random access memory, such as DRAM, SRAM, DDR RAM or other random access solid state memory devices; and optionally includes non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic disk storage devices, optical disk storage devices, flash memory devices, or other non-volatile solid state storage devices. Memory 370 optionally includes one or more storage devices remotely located from CPU(s) 310. In some embodiments, memory 370 stores programs, modules, and data structures or subsets of these, similar to the programs, modules, and data structures stored in memory 102 of portable or non-portable multifunction device 100 FIG. 1A ). Furthermore, memory 370 optionally stores additional programs, modules, and data structures not present in the memory 102 of portable or non-portable multifunction device 100. For example, the memory 370 of device 300 optionally stores a drawing module 380, a presentation module 382, a word processing module 384, a website creation module 386, a disk authoring module 388, and / or an e-mail FIG. 1A application module 390, while the memory 102 of portable or non-portable multifunction device 100 optionally does not. In some embodiments, the device 300 is a wearable device, such as a smart watch, smart eyewear, smart clothing, or smart jewelry (e.g., a smart ring, a smart bracelet, a smart armband). In some embodiments, the device 300 is an audio device, such as headphones or an audio

[0135] FIG. 3 Each of the above identified elements can optionally be stored on one or more of the previously mentioned memory devices, and corresponds to a set of instructions for performing a function described above. The above identified modules or programs (i.e., set of instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs, procedures or modules, and thus various subsets of these modules can optionally be combined or otherwise re-arranged in various embodiments. In some embodiments, memory 370 optionally stores a subset of the modules and data structures identified above. Furthermore, memory 370 optionally stores additional modules and data structures not described above.

[0136] Attention is now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces ("UI") that are optionally implemented on portable multifunction devices 100.

[0160] It should be noted that FIG. 4A The icon labels shown in FIG. 6 are merely examples. For example, the icon 422 for the video and music player module 152 is labeled "Music" or "Music Player." Other labels for the various application icons are optional. In some embodiments, the labels for the various application icons include the names of the corresponding applications. In some embodiments, the label for a particular application icon is different than the name of the corresponding application.

[0161] FIG. 4B A device (e.g., device 100) is shown having a touch-sensitive surface 451 (e.g., touch screen 112) separate from the display 450 (e.g., touch screen 112) as shown in FIG. 6A. FIG. 3 FIG. 3 ​FIG. 1C shows an example user interface that is displayed on device 300) on device 300. Device 300 also optionally includes one or more contact intensity sensors (e.g., one or more sensors of sensors 359) for detecting intensity of contacts on touch-sensitive surface 451 and / or one or more tactile output generators 357 for generating tactile outputs for the user of device 300.

[0162] Although some of the examples that follow will be given with reference to inputs on touch screen display 112 (in which a touch- sensitive surface and a display are combined), in some embodiments, the device detects inputs on a touch- sensitive surface that is separate from the display, as shown in FIG. 1C. In some embodiments, the touch- sensitive surface (e.g., 451 in FIG. 1C) has a main axis (e.g., 452 in FIG. 1C) that corresponds to a main axis (e.g., 453 in FIG. 1C) of the display (e.g., 450 in FIG. 1C). According to these embodiments, the device detects contacts (e.g., 460 and 462 in FIG. 1C) with the touch- sensitive surface at locations that correspond to locations on the display (e.g., 460 corresponds to 468 and 462 corresponds to 470 in FIG. 1C). In this way, when the touch- sensitive surface (e.g., 451 in FIG. 1C) is separate from the display (e.g., 450 in FIG. 1C) of a multifunction device, user inputs (e.g., contacts 460 and 462 and movements thereof) detected by the device on the touch- sensitive surface are used by the device to manipulate the user interface on the display. It should be understood that similar methods are optionally used for other user interfaces described herein. FIG. 4B FIG. 4B Although some of the examples that follow will be given with reference to inputs on touch screen display 112 (in which a touch- sensitive surface and a display are combined), in some embodiments, the device detects inputs on a touch- sensitive surface that is separate from the display, as shown in FIG. 1C. In some embodiments, the touch- sensitive surface (e.g., 451 in FIG. 1C) has a main axis (e.g., 452 in FIG. 1C) that corresponds to a main axis (e.g., 453 in FIG. 1C) of the display (e.g., 450 in FIG. 1C). According to these embodiments, the device detects contacts (e.g., 460 and 462 in FIG. 1C) with the touch- sensitive surface at locations that correspond to locations on the display (e.g., 460 corresponds to 468 and 462 corresponds to 470 in FIG. 1C). In this way, when the touch- sensitive surface (e.g., 451 in FIG. 1C) is separate from the display (e.g., 450 in FIG. 1C) of a multifunction device, user inputs (e.g., contacts 460 and 462 and movements thereof) detected by the device on the touch- sensitive surface are used by the device to manipulate the user interface on the display. It should be understood that similar methods are optionally used for other user interfaces described herein. FIG. 4B FIG. 4B Although some of the examples that follow will be given with reference to inputs on touch screen display 112 (in which a touch- sensitive surface and a display are combined), in some embodiments, the device detects inputs on a touch- sensitive surface that is separate from the display, as shown in FIG. 1C.

According to these embodiments, the device detects contacts (e.g., 460 and 462 in FIG. 1C) with the touch- sensitive surface at locations that correspond to locations on the display (e.g., 460 corresponds to 468 and 462 corresponds to 470 in FIG. 1C). In this way, when the touch- sensitive surface (e.g., 451 in FIG. 1C) is separate from the display (e.g., 450 in FIG. 1C) of a multifunction device, user inputs (e.g., contacts 460 and 462 and movements thereof) detected by the device on the touch- sensitive surface are used by the device to manipulate the user interface on the display. It should be understood that similar methods are optionally used for other user interfaces described herein.

It should be understood that similar methods are optionally used for other user interfaces described herein. FIG. 4B FIG. 4B Although some of the examples that follow will be given with reference to inputs on touch screen display 112 (in which a touch- sensitive surface and a display are combined), in some embodiments, the device detects inputs on a touch- sensitive surface that is separate from the display, as shown in FIG. 1C.

It should be understood that similar methods are optionally used for other user interfaces described herein.

[0163] Although some of the examples that follow will be given with reference to inputs on touch screen display 112 (in which a touch- sensitive surface and a display are combined), in some embodiments, the device detects inputs on a touch- sensitive surface that is separate from the display, as shown in FIG. 1C. In some embodiments, the touch- sensitive surface (e.g., 451 in FIG. 1C) has a main axis (e.g., 452 in FIG. 1C) that corresponds to a main axis (e.g., 453 in FIG. 1C) of the display (e.g., 450 in FIG. 1C). According to these embodiments, the device detects contacts (e.g., 460 and 462 in FIG. 1C) with the touch- sensitive surface at locations that correspond to locations on the display (e.g., 460 corresponds to 468 and 462 corresponds to 470 in FIG. 1C). In this way, when the touch- sensitive surface (e.g., 451 in FIG. 1C) is separate from the display (e.g., 450 in FIG. 1C) of a multifunction device, user inputs (e.g., contacts 460 and 462 and movements thereof) detected by the device on the touch- sensitive surface are used by the device to manipulate the user interface on the display. It should be understood that similar methods are optionally used for other user interfaces described herein.

[0164] ​​​​In addition, although the following examples are primarily given with reference to finger inputs (e.g., finger contacts, single-finger tap gestures, finger swipe gestures), it should be understood that in some embodiments, one or more of these finger inputs are replaced by input from another input device (e.g., mouse-based input or stylus input). For example, a swipe gesture is optionally replaced by a mouse click (e.g., instead of contact), followed by movement of the cursor along the path of the swipe (e.g., instead of movement of the contact). For another example, a tap gesture is optionally replaced by a mouse click when the cursor is over the location of the tap gesture (e.g., instead of detecting the contact, followed by ceasing to detect the contact). Similarly, when multiple user inputs are detected simultaneously, it should be understood that multiple computer mice are optionally used simultaneously, or that a mouse and finger contact are optionally used simultaneously.

[0165] As used herein, the term "focus selector" refers to an input element used to indicate the current portion of a user interface with which a user is interacting. In some implementations that include a cursor or other position marker, the cursor acts as a "focus selector" such that when the cursor is over a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider, or other user interface element), a focus selector is displayed on a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., FIG. 3 Touchpad 355 or FIG. 4B In the event that an input (e.g., a press input) is detected on the touch-sensitive surface 451 in FIG, the particular user interface element is adjusted according to the detected input. In the case of a touch screen display (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface 451 in FIG) that enables direct interaction with user interface elements on the touch screen display, the particular user interface element is adjusted according to the detected input. FIG. 1AIn some implementations of the touch-sensitive display system 112 in Figures 1A-1C, contacts detected on the touch screen act as "focus selectors," such that when an input (e.g., a press input by a contact) is detected on the touch screen display at a location of a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider, or other user interface element), the particular user interface element is adjusted in accordance with the detected input. In some implementations, focus is moved from one region of the user interface to another region of the user interface without the corresponding movement of a cursor or movement of a contact on the touch screen display (e.g., by using a tab key or arrow keys to move focus from one button to another button); in these implementations, the focus selector moves in accordance with movement of focus between different regions of the user interface. Not all implementations, however, use a focus selector. For example, the selection of a user interface element (e.g., a button) can occur regardless of whether the element had focus or without the element even having a focus selector (e.g., a soft button on a display can be selected by a gesture that includes touching the soft button and not moving the contact, where the selection of the soft button is not dependent on the soft button having focus or having a focus selector). In some implementations, a focus selector (e.g., a highlight box, moveable cursor, or other indicator) can be moved by a user to select a desired user interface element (e.g., a button, menu, or other user interface element) to indicate user interest in the user interface element; the selection of a desired user interface element in this manner can be referred to as "moving a focus selector" to "select" or "choose" the desired user interface element. The user can then "submit" the selection (e.g., by entering an input, releasing a button, or otherwise indicating submission of the selection). In some implementations, due to the context, a user's gestures can be interpreted to include a "submit" input even if the user does not explicitly submit the selection. For example, if a user is searching contacts and selects a contact, the user's selection can be interpreted as a submission of the search results.

[0166] 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 seconds, 0.1 seconds, 0.2 seconds, 0.5 seconds, 1 second, 2 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds) relative to a predefined event (e.g., after contact is detected, before contact is detected to be lifted off, before or after contact begins to move, before contact ends, before or after contact is detected to increase in intensity, and / or before or after contact is detected to decrease in intensity). The characteristic intensity of a contact is optionally based on one or more of the following: the maximum value of the intensity of the contact, the mean value of the intensity of the contact, the average value of the intensity of the contact, the value at the top 10% of the intensity of the contact, the half-maximum value of the intensity of the contact, the 90% maximum value of the intensity of the contact, etc. In some embodiments, the duration of the contact is used in determining the characteristic intensity (e.g., when the characteristic intensity is the average value of the intensity of the contact over time). In some embodiments, the feature strength is compared to a set of one or more strength thresholds to determine whether the user has performed an operation. For example, the set of one or more strength thresholds optionally includes a first strength threshold and a second strength threshold. In this example, a contact whose feature strength does not exceed the first threshold results in a first operation, a contact whose feature strength exceeds the first strength threshold but does not exceed the second strength threshold results in a second operation, and a contact whose feature strength exceeds the second threshold results in a third operation. In some embodiments, a comparison between the feature strength and one or more thresholds is used to determine whether to perform one or more operations (e.g., whether to perform the corresponding operation or to abandon the corresponding operation) rather than to determine whether to perform the first operation or the second operation.

[0167] In some embodiments described herein, one or more operations are performed in response to detecting a gesture that includes a corresponding press input or in response to detecting a corresponding press input performed using a corresponding contact (or multiple contacts), wherein the corresponding press input is detected at least in part based on detecting an increase in the intensity of the contact (or multiple contacts) to above a press input intensity threshold. In some embodiments, the corresponding operation is performed in response to detecting an increase in the intensity of the corresponding contact to above the press input intensity threshold (e.g., a "down stroke" of the corresponding press input). In some embodiments, the press input includes an increase in the intensity of the corresponding contact to above the press input intensity threshold and a subsequent decrease in the intensity of the contact to below the press input intensity threshold, and the corresponding operation is performed in response to detecting a subsequent decrease in the intensity of the corresponding contact to below the press input threshold (e.g., an "up stroke" of the corresponding press input).

[0168] In some embodiments, a device employs intensity hysteresis to avoid an unintended input sometimes referred to as "bouncing," in which the device defines or selects a hysteresis intensity threshold that has a predefined relationship to a 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, a press input includes an increase in intensity of a respective contact above a press input intensity threshold and a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact below a hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to the press input intensity threshold, and a 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 "upstroke" of the respective press input). Similarly, in some embodiments, a press input is detected only when the device detects an increase in contact intensity 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 contact intensity to an intensity at or below the hysteresis intensity, and a respective operation is performed in response to detecting the press input (e.g., an increase in contact intensity or a decrease in contact intensity depending on the circumstances).

[0169] For ease of explanation, optionally, descriptions of operations performed in response to a press input associated with a press input intensity threshold or in response to a gesture that includes a press input are triggered in response to detecting any of a variety of conditions: an increase in contact intensity above a press input intensity threshold, an increase in contact intensity from an intensity below a hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity above a press input intensity threshold, a decrease in contact intensity below a press input intensity threshold, and / or a decrease in contact intensity below a hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to a press input intensity threshold. Additionally, in examples in which an operation is described as being performed in response to detecting a decrease in intensity of a contact below a 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 that corresponds to and is less than the press input intensity threshold.

FIG. 1A and FIG. 2 the touch-sensitive display system 112 in FIGS. 1A-1C, and FIG. 3 the display 340 in FIGS. 1A-1C.

[0172] FIG. 5B An example structure of a remote controller 510 in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. In some embodiments, the remote controller 510 optionally corresponds to the multifunction device 100 in FIGS. 1A-1C and FIG. 1A and FIG. 2 the multifunction device 100 in FIGS. 1A-1C and FIG. 3The remote 510 optionally includes one or more devices 300 in the device 300. The remote 510 optionally includes the touch-sensitive surface 451. As described earlier in the disclosure, the touch-sensitive surface 451 optionally senses contacts and intensity of contacts (e.g., a click contact with the touch-sensitive surface 451). In addition, the touch-sensitive surface 451 optionally includes a mechanical actuator (e.g., the touch-sensitive surface 451 is "clickable" to provide a corresponding input to the device 500) for providing a physical button click function. The remote 510 also optionally includes the buttons 516, 518, 520, 522, 524, 526, 527, and 529. The buttons 516, 518, 520, 522, 524, 526, 527, and 529 are optionally mechanical buttons or mechanical button alternatives that are capable of sensing a contact with or a press on such buttons to initiate a corresponding action on, for example, the device 500. In some embodiments, a user selection of the "back" button 516 navigates the device 500 backward in a currently executing application or a currently displayed user interface (e.g., to a user interface that was displayed prior to the currently displayed user interface), or navigates the device 500 to a user interface that is one level up from the currently displayed user interface. In some embodiments, a user selection of the "TV" button 518 navigates the device 500 from any user interface displayed on the device 500 to a home user interface, a home desktop user interface, a media browsing user interface, or a root user interface (e.g., to a home desktop screen of the device 500 that optionally includes one or more applications accessible on the device 500, or to a media browsing user interface of the device 500 that includes representations of media available for watching via the device 500). In some embodiments, a selection of the "TV" button 518 causes the electronic device to navigate to a unified media browsing application. In some embodiments, a user selection of the "play / pause" button 520 toggles between playing and pausing a currently playing content item on the device 500 (e.g., if the content item is playing on the device 500 when the "play / pause" button 520 is selected, the content item is optionally paused, and if the content item is paused on the device 500 when the "play / pause" button 520 is selected, the content item is optionally played). In some embodiments, a user selection of the "+" 522 or "-" 524 buttons increases or decreases, respectively, a volume of audio reproduced by the device 500 (e.g., a volume of a content item that is currently playing on the device 500). In some embodiments, a user selection of the "audio input" button 526 (e.g., a button on a side surface of the remote 510, rather than a button on a surface of the remote 510 that includes the buttons 516, 518, 520, 522, 524, and 527) allows a user to provide audio input (e.g., voice input) to the device 500, optionally to a voice assistant on the device.In some embodiments, remote control 510 includes a microphone via which a user provides audio input to device 500 when the "audio input" button 526 is selected. In some embodiments, remote control 510 includes one or more accelerometers to detect information about motion of the remote control. In some embodiments, selection of the "mute" button 527 triggers turning on and off of audio reproduction by device 500. In some embodiments, selection of the "power" button 529 causes device 500 (and / or an external device coupled to device 500, such as display 514) to switch between entering or exiting a low power state or a powered-off state.

[0173] FIG. 5C An example personal electronic device 500 is depicted. In some embodiments, device 500 can include some or all of the components described with reference to FIG. 1A , FIG. 1B and FIG. 3 . Device 500 has bus 512 that operatively couples I / O section 514 with one or more computer processors 516 and memory 518. I / O section 514 can be connected to display 504, which can have a touch-sensitive component 522 and, optionally, intensity sensor 524 (e.g., contact intensity sensor). Additionally, I / O section 514 can be connected with communication unit 530 for receiving application and operating system data, using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, near field communication (NFC), cellular, and / or other wireless communication techniques. Device 500 can include input mechanisms 506 and / or 508. For example, input mechanism 506 is, optionally, a rotatable input device or a depressible input device, as well as a rotatable input device. In some examples, input mechanism 508 is, optionally, a button.

[0174] In some examples, input mechanism 508 is, optionally, a microphone. Personal electronic device 500 optionally includes various sensors, such as GPS sensor 532, accelerometer 534, directional sensor 540 (e.g., compass), gyroscope 536, motion sensor 538, and / or a combination thereof, all of which can be operatively connected to I / O section 514.

[0175] Memory 518 of personal electronic device 500 can include one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums storing computer-executable instructions, e.g., that, when executed by one or more computer processors 516, cause the computer processors to perform the techniques described below, including the techniques described with reference to FIGS. 6-10. FIG. 9The described processes. The computer-readable storage medium can be any medium that can tangibly contain or store computer-executable instructions for use by or in connection with the instruction execution system, apparatus, and device. In some examples, the storage medium is a transitory computer-readable storage medium. In some examples, the storage medium is a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. Non-transitory computer-readable storage media can include, but are not limited to, magnetic, optical, and / or semiconductor storages. Examples of such storages include magnetic disks, optical disks based on CD, DVD, or Blu-ray technologies, and persistent solid-state memory such as flash, solid-state drives, and the like. Personal electronic device 500 is not limited to FIG. 5C The components and configuration of personal electronic device 500 are not meant to limit the device to those configurations, but rather are meant to provide examples of the many configurations of the device.

[0176] In some embodiments, electronic device 500 includes one or more haptic output generators, where the one or more haptic output generators generate different types of haptic output sequences, as described in Table 1 below. In some embodiments, a particular type of haptic output sequence generated by the one or more haptic output generators of the device corresponds to a particular haptic output pattern. For example, a haptic output pattern specifies characteristics of a haptic output, such as an amplitude of the haptic output, a shape of a motion waveform of the haptic output, a frequency of the haptic output, and / or a duration of the haptic output. When the device generates haptic outputs with different haptic output patterns (e.g., via one or more haptic output generators that generate haptic outputs via moving movable masses), the haptic outputs can produce different tactile sensations in a user holding or touching the device. While a user’s senses are based on the user’s perception of the haptic outputs, most users will be able to identify changes in the waveform, frequency, and amplitude of the haptic outputs generated by the device.

[0177] Further, in methods described herein in which one or more steps depend on one or more conditions having been met, it should be understood that the method can be repeated in multiple iterations such that, over the course of the iterations, all conditions that determine steps in the method have been met in different iterations of the method. For example, if a method requires performing a first step if a condition is met, and performing a second step if the condition is not met, one of ordinary skill will appreciate that the declared steps can be repeated until both the condition is met and the condition is not met (in no particular order). Thus, a method that is described as having one or more steps that depend on one or more conditions having been met can be rewritten as a method that is repeated until every condition described in the method has been met. However, this need not require a system or computer-readable medium to declare that the system or computer-readable medium contains instructions for performing conditional operations based on the satisfaction of the corresponding condition or conditions, and thus is able to determine whether the possible condition has been met without having to explicitly repeat the steps of the method until all conditions that determine steps in the method have been met. One of ordinary skill in the art will also appreciate that, similar to a method having conditional steps, a system or computer-readable storage medium can repeat the steps of a method as many times as necessary to ensure that all conditional steps have been performed.

[0178] As used herein, the term "affordance" refers to a user-interactive graphical user interface object optionally displayed on a display screen of a device 100, 300, and / or 500 FIG. 1A , FIG. 3 and FIG. 5A to FIG. 5B For example, an image (e.g., an icon), a button, and text (e.g., a hyperlink) each optionally comprise an affordance.

[0179] As used herein, an "installed application" refers to a software application that has been downloaded onto an electronic device (e.g., device 100, 300, and / or 500) and is ready to be launched (e.g., become open) on the device. In some embodiments, a downloaded application becomes an installed application with an installer that extracts program portions from a downloaded package and integrates the extracted portions with the operating system of the computer system.

[0180] As used herein, the term "open application" or "application in execution" refers to a software application that has state information held (e.g., as part of device / global internal state 157 and / or application internal state 192). An open or application in execution is optionally any of the following types of applications:

[0181] • an active application that is currently displayed on a display screen of a device that is using the application;

[0182] • a background application (or background process) that is not currently displayed but one or more processes of the application are being processed by one or more processors; and

[0183] • not running but has state information stored in memory (volatile and non-volatile, respectively)

[0184] suspended or hibernating application that can be used to resume execution of the application with state information of the suspended or hibernating application.

[0185] As used herein, the term "closed application" refers to a software application that does not have state information maintained (e.g., state information of the closed application is not stored in memory of the device). Thus, closing an application includes stopping and / or removing application processes of the application and removing state information of the application from memory of the device. Generally, opening a second application while in a first application does not close the first application. The first application becomes a background application when the second application is displayed and the first application ceases to be displayed.

[0186] One or more embodiments among the disclosed embodiments optionally include one or more of the features disclosed in “User Interfaces For Interacting with Channels that Provide Content that Plays in a Media Browsing Application” (Attorney Docket No. 106843171600 (P42089USP1), filed March 24, 2019), “User Interfaces For a Media Browsing Application” (Attorney Docket No. 106843171700 (P42090USP1), filed March 24, 2019), and “User Interface Specific to Respective Content Items” (Attorney Docket No. 106843171900 (P42092USP1), filed March 24, 2019), each of which is hereby incorporated by reference.

[0187] Attention is now directed to embodiments of user interfaces (“UIs”) and associated processes implemented on electronic devices, such as portable multifunctional devices 100, device 300, or device 500.

[0188] User Interfaces and Associated Processes

[0189] User Interfaces for Controlling Playback of Content Items

[0190] The user interacts with the electronic device in many different ways, including using the electronic device to play the content item. The embodiment described below provides an electronic device to present the mode of the user interface for content playback, and the user interface includes the option for controlling the playback of the content item. Providing an effective way to control the playback of the content item enhances the interaction with the device, thereby reducing the time required for the user to modify the playback of the content item currently being played, which prolongs the battery life of battery-powered devices. In addition, providing a unified (that is, cohesive) player across the application provided by multiple content allows the user to be proficient in a group of user interface elements that work across multiple applications. Equally, this unified user experience reduces the time required for the user to modify the playback in any application, and therefore prolongs the battery life of the device. It should be understood that people use equipment. When people use equipment, this person is optionally referred to as the user of the device.

[0191] FIG. 6A to FIG. 6EE An exemplary manner in which an electronic device presents a user interface for controlling playback of a content item according to some embodiments is shown. The embodiments in these figures are used to illustrate the processes described below, including reference to FIG. 7 Although FIG. 6A to FIG. 6EE The electronic device is shown to be capable of performing the following reference FIG. 7 Various examples of the manner in which the process is described are provided, but it should be understood that these examples are not meant to be limiting and that the electronic device can be used without reference to FIG. 6A to FIG. 6EE The following references are explicitly described FIG. 7 One or more of the processes described.

[0192] FIG. 6A to FIG. 6EE Various examples of user interfaces for modifying playback of a content item are shown. For example, an electronic device displays a plurality of playback control elements overlaid on a currently playing content item.

[0193] FIG. 6A An example of an electronic device 500 presenting a television program 602a via a display generation component 504 is shown. FIG. 6A In the example of FIG. 5 , the electronic device 500 and the input device 510a (eg, corresponding to FIG. 5B Although some of the examples shown herein illustrate an electronic device communicating with a respective one of input device 510a or input device 510b, it should be understood that the examples described with respect to input device 510a can apply to input device 510b, and vice versa.

[0194] In some embodiments, television program 602a is an episode of a series that is available on demand via the Internet. In some embodiments, electronic device 500 is also capable of presenting content items that are live streamed or live broadcast (e.g., as opposed to available on demand). In some embodiments, in addition to being able to present television programs and other episodic content series, electronic device 500 is also capable of presenting other types of video content, such as movies and sports games, and audio content, such as music, podcasts, and audiobooks.

[0195] In some embodiments, as FIG. 6A As shown, the electronic device detects contact 603a via input device 510a. In some embodiments, in response to detecting that the electronic device 500 is playing content, FIG. 6A Based on the input shown in FIG, the electronic device 500 updates the user interface to include multiple playback control elements for controlling the playback of the television program 602a, such as FIG. 6B shown.

[0196] FIG. 6B An example of an electronic device 500 is shown presenting a user interface that includes a plurality of playback control elements overlaid on a content item (e.g., a television program 602a) that is currently playing on the electronic device 500. In some embodiments, the user interface includes an indication 604a of the season and episode number of the television program, an indication 604b of the episode name, an indication 604c of the name of the television program series, a selectable option 606a that, when selected, causes the electronic device 500 to present options for controlling subtitles for the television program 602a, a selectable option 606b that, when selected, causes the electronic device 500 to present audio options for playing back audio content associated with the television program 602a, an option 606c that, when selected, causes the television program 602a to be presented in a picture-in-picture element, a slider bar 608a, an information tab 614a, an episode tab 614b, and a next tab 614c. In some embodiments, the slider 608a includes an indication 612a of the current playback position within the television program 602a; an indication 612b of the remaining time of the television program 608a; an indication 610a of the portion of the television program 602a that precedes the current playback position and to which the electronic device can jump backward; an indication 610b of the portion 610b of the television program 602a that has been buffered after the current playback position; and a portion 610c of the television program 602a that has not yet been buffered after the current playback position. In some embodiments, the electronic device 500 is able to jump forward to portion 610b and portion 610c of the television program 602a. In some embodiments, the electronic device 500 presents the various portions 610a-c of the slider 608a in different colors or shading styles. FIG. 6BAs shown, in some embodiments, selectable options 606a-c and indicators 604a-c are displayed above the slider 608a, and tabs 614a-c are displayed below the slider.

[0197] In some embodiments, when the electronic device 500 (e.g., in response to FIG. 6A When the user interface including the playback control elements is initially displayed (input shown in ), the input focus 613b of the electronic device 500 is initially on the slider 608a. In some embodiments, the input focus 613b of the electronic device 500 indicates the user interface element to which additional input will be directed. For purposes of clarity and discussion, the accompanying drawings include visual indications 613 and 813 of the input focus of the electronic device, but in some embodiments, the electronic device 500 presents different visual indications of the input focus or no indication of the input focus at all. In some embodiments, as FIG. 6B As shown, the electronic device 500 detects an upward swipe of contact 603b via input device 510a. In some embodiments, in response to FIG. 6B The electronic device 500 moves the input focus 613b upward according to the movement of the contact 603b, as shown in FIG. FIG. 6C shown.

[0198] FIG. 6C Shows the response to FIG. 6B 613c of the input electronic device 500. FIG. 6C As shown, for example, input focus 613c is now directed to selectable option 606a, which, when selected, causes the electronic device 500 to present an option for changing subtitles displayed with the television program 602a. In some embodiments, if the electronic device 500 detects one or more swipes to the right via the input device 510a, the electronic device 500 moves the input focus 613c to selectable option 606b for controlling the audio settings of the television program 602a or selectable option 606c for viewing the television program 602a in a picture-in-picture element. Although in FIG. 6C It is not explicitly shown, but it should be understood that in some embodiments, as playback of television program 602a continues, slider bar 608a continues to advance.

[0199] like FIG. 6C As shown, in some embodiments, the electronic device 500 detects a downward swipe of the contact 603c via the input device 510a. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the FIG. 6C According to the input sequence of the input shown in , the electronic device 500 updates the position of the input focus 613c in the user interface.

[0200] FIG. 6D Shows the response to include FIG. 6C For example, the electronic device 500 detects an input sequence similar to FIG. 6C Swipe down multiple times (e.g., 2 times) of the downward swipe shown in , and in response, update the FIG. 6D In some embodiments, in response to the first downward swipe, the electronic device 500 will FIG. 6C The input focus 613c shown in FIG. 5 moves from option 606a to slider 608a, and in response to a second downward swipe, the electronic device 500 moves the input focus from slider 608a to information tab 614a, as shown in FIG. FIG. 6D In some embodiments, as shown. FIG. 6D As shown, the input focus 613d is on the information tab of the user interface. In some embodiments, in response to detecting that the input focus 613d moves to the information tab 614a, the electronic device 500 animates the content of the information tab 614a described below to slide upward from the bottom edge of the display generation component 504. In some embodiments, the electronic device 500 also animates other indicators 604a-c and control elements 606a-c, 608a and 614a-c to slide upward, so that the content of the information tab 614a is displayed in the user interface at the location where the tabs 614a-c and, in some embodiments, the slider bar 608a were previously displayed (for example, at FIG. 6C When input focus 613d is on the information tab 614a of the user interface, the electronic device 500 presents the contents of the information tab 614a, including information about the television program 602a currently playing on the electronic device 500, an image 616a associated with the television program 602a, an indication 616b of the name of the television program 602a, information text 616e about the television program 602a, an option 616f to view additional information text about the television program 602a, a selectable option 616c that, when selected, causes the electronic device 500 to initiate playback of the television program 602a from the beginning, and a selectable option 616d that, when selected, causes the electronic device 500 to present a user interface including additional information about the television program 602a. In some embodiments, the contents of the information tab 614a are presented below the tabs 614a-c and the slider 608a.

[0201] like FIG. 6D As shown, in some embodiments, when the input focus 613d is on the information tab 614a, the electronic device 500 detects a rightward swipe of the contact 603d via the input device 510a. FIG. 6DThe electronic device 500 updates the input focus 613d according to the movement of the contact 603d, as shown in FIG. FIG. 6E shown.

[0202] FIG. 6E Shows the response to FIG. 6D An example of a user interface that updates based on the input shown in . FIG. 6E As shown, current focus 613e is on episode tab 614b. In some embodiments, in response to detecting input focus 613e on episode tab 614b, electronic device 500 presents representations 618a-d of other episodes included in television program series 602a. In some embodiments, representations 618a-d each include an image corresponding to a respective episode of television program series 602a and can be selected to initiate playback of the corresponding respective episode of television program series 602a in place of television program 602a. In some embodiments, the content of plot tab 614b is displayed in the same location in the user interface as the content of information tab 614a was displayed, such as FIG. 6D As shown. FIG. 6E As shown, for example, electronic device 500 detects a downward swipe of contact 603e via input device 510a. In some embodiments, in response to FIG. 6E The electronic device 500 updates the current focus 613e according to the movement of the contact 603e, as shown in FIG. FIG. 6F shown.

[0203] FIG. 6F An example of a user interface is shown when the input focus 613f is on one of the representations 618a of episodes in a television program series 602a on an episode tab of the user interface. In some embodiments, when the input focus 613f is on the representation 618a, the electronic device 500 presents an indication 620a of the episode name corresponding to the representation 618a. For example, the indication 620a of the episode name is displayed near (e.g., below) the representation 618a of the episode. In some embodiments, if the electronic device 500 detects a horizontal swipe via the input device 510a, the electronic device 500 will update the position of the input focus 613f so that it is on a representation of a different episode in the episode tab of the user interface and display an indication of the name of the episode corresponding to the representation with the current focus. In some embodiments, the representations 618a-d are horizontally scrollable. For example, in response to detecting a left swipe using the input device 510a when the current focus 613f is on the representation 618a, the electronic device 500 will FIG. 6FThe representation of the episode not shown is revealed at the left of representation 618a, and the display of representation 618d is stopped. As another example, in response to detecting a swipe right while input focus 613f is on representation 618d, electronic device 500 is to reveal representations of episodes that are not currently displayed at the right of representation 618d, and stop the display of representation 618a.

[0204] FIG. 6G An example of the user interface is shown while current focus 613g is on the next tab 614c of the user interface. In some embodiments, in response to detecting current focus 613g on the next tab 614c of the user interface, electronic device 500 displays representations 618e-h of content items in a playback queue associated with electronic device 500 (e.g., a user account associated with the electronic device). In some embodiments, once electronic device 500 completes playback of television show 602a, electronic device 500 automatically initiates playback of the next content item in the next queue (e.g., playback of the content item corresponding to representation 618e is to begin). In some embodiments, the content items in the next queue are a mix of content types, such as episodes in a series of episodes, movies, and / or audio content, such as music, podcasts, and / or audiobooks. In some embodiments, in response to detecting a selection of one of representations 618e-h, electronic device 500 initiates playback of the content item corresponding to the selected representation in place of television show 602a. In some embodiments, electronic device 500 displays the content of next tab 614c at the location of the content and information of episode tab 614b and content of information tab 614a in the user interface. As shown, in some embodiments, electronic device 500 detects a downward swipe of contact 603g via input device 510a. In some embodiments, in response to FIG. 6G the input shown in FIG. 6Q, electronic device 500 moves input focus 613g in accordance with the movement of contact 603g, as shown in FIG. 6R. FIG. 6G FIG. 6H

[0205] FIG. 6H In response to the input shown in FIG. 6Q, electronic device 500 moves input focus 613g in accordance with the movement of contact 603g, as shown in FIG. 6R. FIG. 6G ​​The example of the user interface when the input focus 613h is on one of the representations 618f of the content items in the next queue is shown in FIG. 6M. In some embodiments, when the input focus is on the representation 618f, the electronic device 500 presents an indication 620b of the name of the content item associated with the representation 618f and updates the representation 618f to include an indication of the current playback progress of the electronic device (e.g., the user account associated with the electronic device) within the content item. In some embodiments, if the input focus 613h is on a different representation 618e or 618g-h of a content item, the electronic device 500 will instead display an indication of the name of the content item associated with the respective representation 618e or 618g-h to which the input focus is directed and an indication of the playback progress (e.g., if the content item has been partially consumed by the user account associated with the device 500).

[0206] In some embodiments, the electronic device 500 presents an indication of the current playback position within the content item that the user’s friends are at on the electronic device that is playing. In some embodiments, the user account associated with the electronic device 500 is associated with other user accounts that are “friends” of the user of the electronic device (e.g., the other user accounts are contacts of the user account associated with the device 500 in a contacts application or service that is accessible from the device 500). In some embodiments, when users are friends of one another, they are able to see one another’s content consumption history and / or activity and / or communicate with one another through a service associated with a content consumption service or application that is accessible to the electronic device.

[0207] For example, in FIG. 6M, the user of the device 500 is a friend of the user of the device 500-1, and the user of the device 500-1 is a friend of the user of the device 500. As a result, the user of the device 500 is able to see the current playback position of the user of the device 500-1 within the content item that is being played on the device 500-1, and the user of the device 500-1 is able to see the current playback position of the user of the device 500 within the content item that is being played on the device 500. FIG. 6I, the electronic device 500 presents an indication 622a of the playback position of the friend of the user of the electronic device 500 in the sliding bar 608b within the television program 602a. In some embodiments, the indication 622a indicates the playback position of the content item (e.g., television program A 602a) currently being played by the user's friend or the playback position where the friend stopped or paused playing the content item (e.g., the friend's most recent playback position in television program A 602a). In some embodiments, the indication 622a includes an image associated with the user account of the friend of the user of the electronic device 500. In some embodiments, if the friend has not yet watched any part of the television program 602a, the electronic device 500 will forgo presenting the indication 622a of the friend's playback position in the sliding bar 608b. In some embodiments, if the friend has already watched the entire television program 602a, the electronic device 500 will forgo presenting the indication 622a of the friend's playback position in the sliding bar 608b. In some embodiments, if multiple friends of the user have watched (at least) a portion of the television program 602a, the electronic device 500 will present multiple representations in the slider 608b corresponding to each of the friends who have watched (at least) a portion of the television program 602a. FIG. 6I As shown, when input focus 613i is on slider bar 608b, electronic device 500 detects a right swipe via input device 510b to slide to a playback position associated with a friend of the user of electronic device 500.

[0208] FIG. 6J The electronic device 500 is shown in response to FIG. 6I An example of how the input updates the slider 608b is shown in FIG. In some embodiments, in response to FIG. 6I In some embodiments, when the electronic device 500 updates the position of the slider, the electronic device 500 continues to play the video from the playback position of the user of the electronic device. FIG. 6I , and does not change the playback position based on the position of the slider 608b unless and until a selection is detected via the input device 510b. In some embodiments, when the electronic device 500 updates the position of the slider, the electronic device 500 pauses the television program 602a at FIG. 6I , and does not change the playback position according to the position of slider bar 608b unless and until a selection is detected via input device 510b.

[0209] In some embodiments, as the user of electronic device 500 slides the scrubber 608b, electronic device 500 presents a thumbnail 624b associated with the playback position indicated by the scrubber 608b. Because the current playback position of the scrubber 608b is the same as the playback position associated with the user's friend of electronic device 500, electronic device 500 displays the image 622a associated with the user's friend of electronic device 500 overlaid on the thumbnail 624b. In some embodiments, as the user slides the scrubber, electronic device 500 presents an indication 622b of the time associated with the playback position of the current position of the scrubber, and an indication 612c of the time remaining in the content item from the playback position of the current position of the scrubber. In some embodiments, because the current position of the scrubber corresponds to the playback position of the user's friend of electronic device, the indication 622b of the playback position includes an indication of the name of the friend.

[0210] In some embodiments, as FIG. 6J illustrated, electronic device 500 detects, via input device 510b, another rightward swipe of contact 603j. In some embodiments, in response to FIG. 6J the input illustrated in FIG. 6J, electronic device 500 slides the scrubber to a position beyond the playback position of the user's friend of electronic device 500, as FIG. 6K illustrated.

[0211] FIG. 6K FIG. 6K illustrates an example of how electronic device 500 updates the user interface in response to the input illustrated in FIG. 6J. For example, as FIG. 6J illustrated, in accordance with the movement of contact 603j, the scrubber 608b is slid to a playback position that is after the playback position of the scrubber 608b in FIG. 6J. In some embodiments, the scrubber 608b includes an indication 612d of the playback position time of the current position of the scrubber 608b, an indication 612e of the time remaining in the content item from the current position of the scrubber 608b, and an indication 622b of the playback position associated with the user's friend of electronic device 500. In some embodiments, once electronic device 500 has been slid to the playback position of the user's friend of electronic device 500 and slid away from that playback position, electronic device 500 represents the playback position of the user's friend of electronic device 500 without the indication 622b of the image associated with the user's friend of electronic device 500. FIG. 6K FIG. 6J In some embodiments, the scrubber 608b includes a thumbnail 624c that corresponds to the playback position indicated by the scrubber 608b. In some embodiments, the thumbnail 624c includes an image that corresponds to the playback position indicated by the scrubber 608b, such as a still image of the content at that playback position. For example, as

[0212] In some embodiments, the scrubber 608b includes a thumbnail 624c that corresponds to the playback position indicated by the scrubber 608b. In some embodiments, the thumbnail 624c includes an image that corresponds to the playback position indicated by the scrubber 608b, such as a still image of the content at that playback position. For example, as FIG. 6K ​As shown, thumbnail 624c is at least partially overlaid on caption option 606a. In some embodiments, because thumbnail 624c is at least partially overlaid on one of the selectable options 606a-c of the user interface, electronic device 500 will cease display of thumbnail 624b after a predetermined time threshold 626b has elapsed since the last input was detected via input device 510b. As FIG. 6K shown, for example, the amount 626c of time 626a that has elapsed since the last input was received is less than threshold 626b, and thus electronic device 500 continues to display thumbnail 624c. In some embodiments, as FIG. 6L shown, once the amount 626d of time 626a that has elapsed since the last input was received (e.g., via input device 510b) exceeds (e.g., or reaches) threshold 626b, electronic device 500 ceases FIG. 6K display of thumbnail 624c, such as FIG. 6L shown.

[0213] In some embodiments, if the scrubber 608b is scrubbed to a playback position such that the thumbnail associated with the current position of the scrubber 608b does not overlap at least one of the options 606a-c, electronic device 500 continues to display the thumbnail even after a threshold period of time 626b has elapsed since an input was received (e.g., via input device 510b). For example, in FIG. 6M , electronic device 500 displays scrubber 608b scrubbed to a different position than the position of the scrubber in FIG. 6K to FIG. 6L . In FIG. 6M , for example, the thumbnail 624d corresponding to the current position of the scrubber 608b does not overlap the selectable options 606a-c, and thus, electronic device 500 continues to display thumbnail 624d despite the amount 626e of time 626a that has elapsed since the last input was detected exceeding the time threshold 626b.

[0214] In some embodiments, as FIG. 6N shown, while electronic device 500 is presenting television program 602a (e.g., without displaying the scrubber or other indication and control elements previously described with reference to FIG. 6B to FIG. 6M , electronic device 500 detects, via input device 510a, a tap with contact 603n on the left side of touch surface 451a of input device 510a. In some embodiments, the tap with contact 603n corresponds to a request to skip back a predetermined amount of time (e.g., 10, 15, 30 seconds, etc.) in the content item. In some embodiments, in response to FIG. 6N, the electronic device 500 skips a predetermined amount of time backward in the content and displays a slider overlaid on the content without displaying other playback control elements, such as FIG. 6O shown.

[0215] FIG. 6O Shows the response to detecting FIG. 6N An example of a user interface displayed for input shown in FIG. FIG. 6O As shown, the electronic device 500 displays a slider 608a overlaid on a television program 602a, which is selected from the display in response to the FIG. 6N In some embodiments, such as FIG. 6O As shown, the electronic device 500 abandons the response to the detection FIG. 6A , and multiple elements are displayed in response to a tap input. FIG. 6B As shown, in response to detecting FIG. 6A In response to a tap input in FIG. 6 , in addition to displaying the slider 608 a, the electronic device 500 displays an indication 604 a of the season and episode number of the television program, an indication 604 b of the episode name, an indication 604 c of the name of the television program series, a selectable option 606 a that, when selected, causes the electronic device 500 to present options for controlling subtitles for the television program 602 a, a selectable option 606 b that, when selected, causes the electronic device 500 to present audio options for playing back audio content associated with the television program 602 b, a selectable option 606 c for presenting the television program 602 a in a picture-in-picture element, an information tab 614 a, an episode tab 614 b, and a next tab 614 c, which are not responsive to FIG. 6N In some embodiments, the abandonment is in response to FIG. 6N Displaying elements unrelated to skipping instead of the skip-backward input shown in FIG provides a less distracting user interface (eg, because fewer elements are overlaid on television program 602 a ).

[0216] In some embodiments, the user interface elements displayed as an overlay on the content item being played by the electronic device are controlled and / or provided by an entity associated with the creation of the content item (e.g., a studio, a streaming service, a publisher, a creator, etc.). In some embodiments, the user interface elements displayed during content playback vary depending on the content item. For example, FIG. 6P The electronic device 500 is shown presenting a movie 602b with a plurality of playback control elements displayed overlaid on the movie 602b. FIG. 6P The multiple playback control elements shown in the above reference FIG. 6B The playback control elements are the same or similar, except that instead ofFIG. 6B As shown, display information tab 614a, episode tab 614b, and next tab 614c, electronic device 500 displays an indication 614d of the information tab in the middle of the bottom of the user interface. In some embodiments, movie 602b is associated with the information tab, but not with other types of tabs that can be displayed in the user interface, so electronic device 500 displays an indication 614d of the information tab, as shown. In some embodiments, other content items can be associated with different types of individual tabs (e.g., next, episode, etc.), which would cause electronic device 500 to display an indication of the respective tab in a manner similar to the indication 614d of the information tab shown in FIG. 6P In some embodiments, if electronic device 500 detects, via input device 510a, an input corresponding to a request to move input focus 613p downward, such as a downward swipe of a contact on touch surface 451a of input device 510a, then electronic device 500 will present information items similar to the information items shown in FIG. 6P In some embodiments, if electronic device 500 detects, via input device 510a, an input corresponding to a request to move input focus 613p downward, such as a downward swipe of a contact on touch surface 451a of input device 510a, then electronic device 500 will present information items similar to the information items shown in FIG. 6D In some embodiments, if electronic device 500 detects, via input device 510a, an input corresponding to a request to move input focus 613p downward, such as a downward swipe of a contact on touch surface 451a of input device 510a, then electronic device 500 will present information items similar to the information items shown in

[0217] FIG. 6Q As shown, display information tab 614a, episode tab 614b, and next tab 614c, electronic device 500 displays an indication 614d of the information tab in the middle of the bottom of the user interface. In some embodiments, movie 602b is associated with the information tab, but not with other types of tabs that can be displayed in the user interface, so electronic device 500 displays an indication 614d of the information tab, as shown. In some embodiments, other content items can be associated with different types of individual tabs (e.g., next, episode, etc.), which would cause electronic device 500 to display an indication of the respective tab in a manner similar to the indication 614d of the information tab shown in FIG. 6A In some embodiments, if electronic device 500 detects, via input device 510a, an input corresponding to a request to move input focus 613p downward, such as a downward swipe of a contact on touch surface 451a of input device 510a, then electronic device 500 will present information items similar to the information items shown in FIG. 6BThe selectable options 606a-c, slider 608d, information tab 614a, live content tab 614d, next tab 614c, and more games tab 614f are described. In some embodiments, because there are limitations on the distance that the electronic device 500 can skip and / or scroll through, the slider 608d includes an area 610d corresponding to a portion of the sports game 602c preceding the current playback position that the electronic device cannot skip or scroll through; a portion 610a of the sports game 602c preceding the current playback position that the electronic device can skip or scroll through; an indication 610f of a portion of the sports game 602c preceding the current playback position that the electronic device 500 can scroll through or skip ahead of; and an indication 610g of a portion of the sports game 602c that the electronic device 500 cannot scroll through or skip ahead of. In some embodiments, the electronic device 500 renders the different areas 610d-g of the slider 608d using different colors or shading to distinguish the areas 610d-g from each other. In some embodiments, the slider bar 608d also includes an indication 612j of the current time of the current playback position in the sporting event, and an indication 612k of the amount of time remaining in the sporting event starting from the current playback position.

[0218] like FIG. 6Q As shown, the electronic device 500 detects via the input device 510a a downward swipe of the contact 603q corresponding to a request to move the current focus 613q downward in the user interface. FIG. 6Q The electronic device 500 updates the user interface as shown in FIG. 6R shown.

[0219] FIG. 6R The electronic device 500 is shown in response to FIG. 6Q 602c, and an example of how the input shown in updates the user interface. In some embodiments, the electronic device 500 moves the current focus 613r to the information tab 614a and displays the contents of the information tab below the slider 608d and the other tabs 614c, 614d, and 614f (e.g., in response to the current focus 613r being on the information tab 614a without detecting a selection of the information tab 614a). In some embodiments, the contents of the information tab 614a include an image 616g associated with the sports game 602c, an indication 616h of the name of the sports game 602c (e.g., the two teams participating in the game), an indication 616i of the current score of the sports game, information text 616j about the sports game 602c, and an option 616k to view additional information text 616j about the sports game. FIG. 6RAs shown, the electronic device 500 detects, via the input device 510a, a rightward swipe of the contact 603r corresponding to a request to move the current focus 613r to the right. FIG. 6R The electronic device 500 updates the current focus 613r of the electronic device, as shown in FIG. FIG. 6S shown.

[0220] FIG. 6S The electronic device 500 is shown in response to FIG. 6R An example of how the input updates the user interface is shown in . FIG. 6S In the embodiment of the present invention, the current focus 613s is, for example, on the live tab 614d, and in response to detecting that the current focus 613s moves to the live tab 614d (for example, without detecting a selection of the live tab 614d), the electronic device 500 presents the content of the live tab 614d in the user interface. FIG. 6R 8. The live tab 614d is displayed at the location where the content of the information tab is presented in the electronic device 500 (e.g., below the other tabs 614a, 614c, and 614f and the slider 608d). In some embodiments, the live tab 614d is displayed only when the electronic device 500 is presenting a content item that is being live streamed or live broadcast. In some embodiments, the live tab 614d includes representations 618i-L of the content items that are currently being live streamed and / or live broadcasted that can be used for playback on the electronic device. In some embodiments, the representations 614i-L include an image corresponding to each content item and a progress bar indicating the portion of the content item that has been broadcast and / or streamed relative to the entire duration of the content item. In some embodiments, the representations 618i-L correspond to various types of live (e.g., streaming or broadcast) content items, including television programs, movies, sports games, etc. In some embodiments, the progress bar is independent of the content consumption history of the electronic device (e.g., the user account associated with the electronic device). For example, the progress of the progress bar does not imply that the electronic device (e.g., the user account associated with the electronic device) has played any portion of the content item in the live tab 614d. In some embodiments, the progress bar is displayed in the representation 618i-L even when the input focus is not directed to the representation 618i-L. In some embodiments, in response to detecting a selection of one of the representations 618i-L, the electronic device 500 initiates playback of the content item corresponding to the selected representation 618i-L in place of the sports game 602c (e.g., starting from the playback position indicated by the progress bar).

[0221] like FIG. 6S As shown, in some embodiments, the electronic device detects via the input device 510a a downward swipe of the contact 603s corresponding to a request to move the current focus 613s according to the movement of the contact 603s.FIG. 6S The electronic device 500 updates the user interface as shown in FIGS. 6A-6D in response to the input shown in FIG. 6A. FIG. 6T The electronic device 500 updates the user interface as shown in FIGS. 6A-6D in response to the input shown in FIG. 6A.

[0222] FIG. 6T The electronic device 500 updates the user interface as shown in FIGS. 6A-6D in response to the input shown in FIG. 6A. FIG. 6S The electronic device 500 updates the user interface as shown in FIGS. 6A-6D in response to the input shown in FIG. 6A. FIG. 6T In some embodiments, the current focus 613t is on a respective representation 618i of a respective live content item in the live tab 614d of the user interface without a selection input for the item. For example, the representation 618i is a representation of another sporting event. In some embodiments, while the current focus 613t is on the representation 618i, the electronic device 500 presents indications 630a-f of metadata overlaid on the representation 618i. In some embodiments, the indications of metadata include an indication 630a of a current score of the sporting event, an indication 630b that the sporting event is live, an indication 630c of a duration of time that the game has been played and a league of the game, an indication 630d of a channel that is broadcasting or live streaming the game, a progress bar 630e indicating a playback position of the game that is currently being broadcast or live streamed, and an indication 630f of a name of the game (e.g., the teams playing in the game). In some embodiments, the electronic device 500 detects, via the input device 510a, a rightward swipe of the contact 603t that corresponds to a request to move the current focus 613t rightward. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the rightward swipe of the contact 603t, the electronic device 500 moves the current focus 613t to a representation 618j of a movie that is currently being live streamed or broadcast live and is available for playback on the electronic device without a selection input for the representation 618j. For example, while the current focus 613u is on the representation 618j, the electronic device 500 stops displaying the indications 630a-f of metadata overlaid on the representation 618i. FIG. 6T The electronic device 500 updates the user interface as shown in FIGS. 6A-6D in response to the input shown in FIG. 6A. FIG. 6U The electronic device 500 updates the user interface as shown in FIGS. 6A-6D in response to the input shown in FIG. 6A.

[0223] FIG. 6U The electronic device 500 updates the user interface as shown in FIGS. 6A-6D in response to the input shown in FIG. 6A. FIG. 6T The electronic device 500 updates the user interface as shown in FIGS. 6A-6D in response to the input shown in FIG. 6A. FIG. 6TThe indication of metadata overlaid on the representation 618j includes an indication 630p that the movie is live, an indication 630n of the channel on which the movie is being live streamed or live broadcasted, and an indication 630m of the movie name. Thus, in some embodiments, the type of metadata displayed as overlaid on the representation 618 varies depending on the type of content item corresponding to the representation with the current focus. In some embodiments, if the electronic device 500 detects a further input corresponding to a request to move the current focus 613u to a different representation 618k or 618L (e.g., no selection input to the other representations), the electronic device 500 will present metadata corresponding to the representation with the current focus, which is overlaid on the representation with the current focus, and stop displaying metadata associated with any other representations that do not have the current focus. In some embodiments, the representations 618i-L are horizontally scrollable to reveal FIG. 6U additional representations not shown in FIG. 6G.

[0224] FIG. 6V The electronic device 500 is shown presenting a user interface in which the current focus 613v is on the more games tab 614f of the user interface. In some embodiments, the more games tab 614f is only displayed in the user interface if the electronic device 500 is playing a sporting event. In some embodiments, the more games tab 614f is only displayed in the user interface if the electronic device is playing a live broadcasted or live streamed content item. As shown in FIG. 6H, in some embodiments, while the current focus 613v is on the more games tab 614f (e.g., no selection input directed to the games tab 614f is detected), the electronic device 500 presents the content of the live tab 614d in the user interface at the location in which the content of the live tab 614d is presented in FIG. 6G, and presents the content of the information tab 614a in the user interface at the location in which the content of the information tab 614a is presented in FIG. 6G. FIG. 6V FIG. 6U FIG. 6R FIG. 6V ​​​As shown, for example, the More Games tab 614f includes representations 618r-u of other sports games available for playback on the electronic device 500, without displaying representations of other types of live content besides sports games. In some embodiments, representations 618r and 618s correspond to games that are currently being broadcast live or live streamed, and representations 618t and 618u correspond to games that have not yet begun live broadcast or live streaming (e.g., but will begin and / or be broadcast live or live streamed later in the same day and / or within a predetermined time (e.g., 10, 20, 30, 60, 120, 140 minutes) from the current time). In some embodiments, representations 618r and 618s include an indication of the current progress of games that are being live streamed or live broadcast (e.g., independent of content playback of these games on the electronic device). In some embodiments, in response to detecting a selection of one of the representations 618r-s, the electronic device 500 initiates playback of the sporting event corresponding to the selected one of the representations 618r-s by replacing the sporting event 602c (e.g., starting at the playback position indicated by the progress bar). In some embodiments, the representation 618t includes an indication 634a of the time at which the game will begin to be live streamed or broadcast live and indications 634b-c of the teams participating in the game. In some embodiments, the representation 618u includes elements similar to those of the representation 618t.

[0225] like FIG. 6V As shown, in some embodiments, the electronic device 500 detects a downward swipe of the contact 603v via the input device 510a. In some embodiments, in response to FIG. 6V The electronic device 500 updates the current focus 613v according to the movement of the contact 603v, as shown in FIG. FIG. 6W shown.

FIG. 6Y

[0231] FIG. 6AA ​​​An example is shown of electronic device 500 presenting movie 602d with playback control elements overlaid on movie 602d. In some embodiments, FIG. 6AA The number of playback control elements shown in FIG. 6E is the same as described above with reference to FIG. 6B FIG. 6B. For example, slider bar 608e is similar to slider bar 608a in that electronic device 500 is able to slide or jump to any playback position within movie 602d. In some embodiments, FIG. 6AA The user interface shown in FIG. 6E includes chapter tab 614e instead of episode tab 614b described above with reference to FIG. 6B FIG. 6B because movie 602d includes chapters instead of other episodes like television show 602a. As FIG. 6AA shown, in some embodiments, while current focus 613aa is on slider bar 608e, electronic device 500 detects, via input device 510a, a downward swipe of contact 603aa. In some embodiments, in response to the input sequence including FIG. 6AA the input shown in FIG. 6E, electronic device 500 updates the user interface as shown in FIG. 6BB FIG. 6F. For example, electronic device 500 first detects the input shown in FIG. 6E, then detects a rightward swipe via input device 510a, and in response, updates the user interface as shown in FIG. 6AA FIG. 6F. FIG. 6BB

[0232] FIG. 6BB An example is shown of the user interface updated in response to an input sequence including FIG. 6AA the input shown in FIG. 6E. As FIG. 6BB shown, in some embodiments, current focus 613bb is on chapter tab 614e of the user interface. For example, in response to detecting current focus 613bb on chapter tab 614e of the user interface (e.g., without detecting a selection input directed to chapter tab 614e), electronic device 500 presents representations 618m-q of chapters of movie 602d below tabs 614a, 614e, and 614c and slider bar 608e. In some embodiments, representations 618m-q of chapters include images (e.g., screenshots from each chapter) corresponding to each respective chapter. In some embodiments, in response to detecting a selection of one of representations 618m-q of chapters, electronic device 500 initiates playback of the movie starting from the playback position of the chapter corresponding to the selected representation. In some embodiments, if electronic device 500 detects a horizontal swipe via input device 510a while current focus 613bb is on chapter tab 614e, electronic device 500 will stop presenting representations 618m-q of chapters and instead present FIG. 6BB ​The content corresponding to the tab having the current focus 613bb is presented at the location where the chapter representations 618m-q are displayed (e.g., below the chapters 614a, 614e, and 614c and the slider 608e). FIG. 6BB As shown, when the current focus 613bb is on the chapter tab 614e, the electronic device 500 detects a downward swipe of the contact 603bb via the input device 510a. In some embodiments, in response to FIG. 6BB The electronic device 500 updates the user interface as shown in FIG. 6CC shown.

For example, multiple playback control elements are similar to those described above with reference to FIG. FIG. 6A to FIG. 6CCThe playback control elements described are the same or similar. In some embodiments, because it is not possible to slide or skip within the news broadcast 602e, the electronic device 500 presents a slider 608f that includes an area 610e indicating that sliding and skipping are not available. In some embodiments, all portions of the area 610e are displayed in the same color, pattern, or style. In some embodiments, the slider also includes an indication 612s of the current playback position within the news broadcast 602e and an indication 612t of the duration of the news broadcast 602e between the current playback position and the end of the news broadcast 602e. FIG. 6DD As shown, the electronic device 500 detects, via the input device 510a, a click of contact 603dd on the right side of the touch surface 451a of the input device 510a, which corresponds to a request to skip forward a predetermined amount of time (e.g., 10, 15, 30 seconds, etc.) within the news broadcast 602e. In some embodiments, in response to FIG. 6DD The electronic device 500 updates the user interface as shown in FIG. 6EE shown.

[0235] In some embodiments, as FIG. 6EE As shown, in response to FIG. 6DD , the electronic device 500 abandons skipping forward in the news broadcast 602e because skipping forward is not possible. Additionally, in some embodiments, the electronic device 500 displays a visual indication 630b while displaying the slider 608f and other indicators and control elements overlaid on the news broadcast 602e, indicating that skipping forward in the news broadcast is not possible.

[0236] FIG. 7 7 is a flowchart illustrating a method of presenting a user interface for controlling playback of a content item according to some embodiments. Method 700 is optionally performed on an electronic device (such as device 100, device 300, and device 500), as described above with reference to FIG. 1A to FIG. 1B 、 FIG. 2 to FIG. 3 、 FIG. 4A to FIG. 4B and FIG. 5A to FIG. 5C Some operations in method 700 are optionally combined, and / or the order of some operations is optionally changed.

[0237] As described below, method 700 provides a manner in which an electronic device according to some embodiments presents a user interface for controlling the playback of a content item. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user when interacting with the device user interface of the present disclosure, thereby creating a more efficient human-computer interface. For battery-powered electronic devices, improving the efficiency of user interaction with the user interface saves power and increases the time between battery charges.

[0238] In some embodiments, the method 700 is performed at an electronic device (e.g., 500) in communication with a display generation component and one or more input devices. In some embodiments, the electronic device is a mobile device (e.g., a tablet, a smartphone, a media player, or a wearable device), a computer (e.g., a desktop computer, a laptop computer), or a wearable device (e.g., a watch, a head-mounted device), optionally in communication with one or more of a mouse (e.g., external), a trackpad (optionally integrated or external), a remote control device (e.g., external), another mobile device (e.g., separate from the electronic device), a handheld device (e.g., external), and / or a controller (e.g., external, etc.), or a set-top box in communication with one or more input devices (e.g., a remote control). In some embodiments, the display generation component is a display (optionally a touch screen display) integrated with the electronic device, an external display such as a monitor, a projector, a television, or a hardware component (optionally integrated or external) for projecting or causing a user interface to be visible to one or more users, etc.

[0239] In some embodiments, such as in FIG. 6A In some embodiments, such as in

[0240] In some embodiments, such as in FIG. 6BIn some embodiments, in response to receiving the input, the electronic device (e.g., 500) concurrently displays (704) one or more first playback control elements (e.g., 608a) corresponding to the first content type in accordance with a determination that the respective content type is the first content type (706). In some embodiments, the one or more first playback control elements include a scrubber bar and / or one or more selectable options that, when selected, cause the electronic device to pause / play, fast forward, and / or fast reverse the content; present subtitle options for the content item; and / or present audio playback options for the content item. In some embodiments, the type of scrubber bar presented depends on the type of content. For example, if the content is on-demand content, the scrubber bar is a scrubber bar that enables unbounded fast reverse of the content item, and if the content is live content that is being broadcast (e.g., wirelessly) or live streamed, the scrubber bar is a scrubber bar that enables fast reverse of the content item no more than a predetermined threshold (e.g., 10, 15, 30, 45 seconds, etc., 1, 2, 3, 5 minutes, etc.).

[0241] In some embodiments, such as in FIG. 6B In some embodiments, in response to receiving the input, the electronic device (e.g., 500) concurrently displays (704) a first option (e.g., 614b) corresponding to the first content corresponding to the first content type in accordance with a determination that the respective content type is the first content type (706). In some embodiments, the first option is displayed in association with (e.g., above and to the left of or below and to the left of) the scrubber bar. In some embodiments, in response to detecting selection (e.g., or focus) of the first option, the electronic device presents a representation of the first content corresponding to the first content type. For example, if the first content type is on-demand movies, the first content is a chapter of the movie and / or on-demand content items in a playback queue associated with the electronic device (e.g., a user account associated with the electronic device). As another example, if the first content type is a live broadcast sporting event, the first content is other live content (e.g., live content currently available for live playback), scores of the sporting event and other sporting events, and / or on-demand content in a playback queue. As another example, the first content type is additional content based on content item recommendations (e.g., content of the same type, content with the same creator, content of the same genre, content liked by other users who liked the content item, etc.). In some embodiments, in response to detecting selection (e.g., or focus) of the first option, the electronic device updates the position at which the one or more playback control elements and the first option are displayed to be overlaid on the content item. For example, in response to detecting selection (e.g., or focus) of the first option, the electronic device moves the one or more playback control elements and the first option upward and initiates display of a representation of the content corresponding to the first content type overlaid on the content item below the one or more playback control elements and the first option.

[0243] In some embodiments, such as in Fig. 6D, in response to receiving the input, the electronic device (e.g., 500) concurrently displays (704) one or more second playback control elements (e.g., 608c) corresponding to a second content type different from the first content type (712) in accordance with a determination that the respective content type is the second content type different from the first content type. In some embodiments, some or all of the second playback control elements are the same as the first playback control elements. In some embodiments, some or all of the second playback control elements are different from the first playback control elements. In some embodiments, the first content type and the second content type have completely different characteristics, such as on-demand music and live sports. In some embodiments, the first content type and the second content type have similarities and differences, such as on-demand movies and on-demand television shows. FIG. 6P In some embodiments, such as in Fig. 6D, in response to receiving the input, the electronic device (e.g., 500) concurrently displays (704) one or more second playback control elements (e.g., 608c) corresponding to a second content type different from the first content type (712) in accordance with a determination that the respective content type is the second content type different from the first content type. In some embodiments, some or all of the second playback control elements are the same as the first playback control elements. In some embodiments, some or all of the second playback control elements are different from the first playback control elements. In some embodiments, the first content type and the second content type have completely different characteristics, such as on-demand music and live sports. In some embodiments, the first content type and the second content type have similarities and differences, such as on-demand movies and on-demand television shows.

[0244] The above-described manner of presenting playback control elements and options corresponding to the respective content type of a content item provides an efficient way of accessing playback controls and additional content related to the content item being presented, which additionally reduces power usage and improves battery life of the electronic device by enabling users to use the electronic device more quickly and efficiently.

[0245] In some embodiments, such as in Fig. 6D, in response to receiving the input, the electronic device (e.g., 500) concurrently displays (704) one or more second playback control elements (e.g., 608c) corresponding to a second content type different from the first content type (712) in accordance with a determination that the respective content type is the second content type different from the first content type. In some embodiments, some or all of the second playback control elements are the same as the first playback control elements. In some embodiments, some or all of the second playback control elements are different from the first playback control elements. In some embodiments, the first content type and the second content type have completely different characteristics, such as on-demand music and live sports. In some embodiments, the first content type and the second content type have similarities and differences, such as on-demand movies and on-demand television shows. FIG. 6HIn some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the respective content type is a first content type (e.g., an episodic content series), the first content corresponding to the first content type includes a second content item (e.g., 618e-h) in a playback queue associated with a user (e.g., a user account) of the electronic device. In some embodiments, the electronic device is configured to play content items in the queue in an order in which the content items are automatically queued one after another. For example, upon completion of a content item, the electronic device automatically plays the next item in the playback queue. In some embodiments, the playback queue is associated with a user account that is associated with a plurality of electronic devices, including the electronic device. In some embodiments, the electronic device adds a content item to the playback queue in response to user input that manually adds the content item to the playback queue. In some embodiments, the electronic device automatically adds a content item to the playback queue based on a content consumption history of the electronic device (e.g., a user account associated with the electronic device), such as adding an episode of an episodic content series to the playback queue in response to the electronic device (e.g., a user account associated with the electronic device) playing the episode of the episodic content series. In some embodiments, in response to detecting input directed to the first option, the electronic device presents representations of content items in the playback queue at locations in the user interface at which the first option has previously been displayed. In some embodiments, in response to detecting input directed to (e.g., currently focused on without selection, selected) the first option, the electronic device displays representations of content items in the content playback queue. In some embodiments, in response to detecting selection of a respective one of the representations of content items in the content playback queue, the electronic device initiates playback of the content item corresponding to the respective one of the representations of content items. In some embodiments, the electronic device displays representations of content items in the content playback queue concurrently with the one or more playback control elements and the first option overlaid on the content items. In some embodiments, the electronic device displays, overlaid on the representation of the respective content item in the playback queue that has current focus, an indication of a portion of the content item that has been consumed by the electronic device (e.g., a user account associated with the electronic device) overlaid on the respective representation and an indication of a name of the content item associated with the respective representation. In some embodiments, the electronic device forgoes displaying an indication of a portion of the content item that has been consumed by the electronic device (e.g., a user account associated with the electronic device) and an indication of a name of the content item whose representation does not have current focus of the electronic device. In some embodiments, the electronic device ceases display of the one or more playback control elements (e.g., a scrubber bar) while displaying representations of content items in the playback queue (or, more generally, content associated with any other option displayed in the user interface, such as the second option, the third option, etc.).In some embodiments, while the current focus is on the first option or one of the representations of the content items in the playback queue (or, more generally, while the representations of the content items are presented in the playback queue), in response to detecting a respective input (e.g., selection of a “back” or “home desktop” button of the input device), the electronic device ceases display of the representations (e.g., as well as the options and playback control elements) and continues playing the content item.

[0246] The above-described manner of presenting the playback queue associated with the user provides an efficient way of viewing the representation of the next content item to be played while playing content, which additionally reduces power usage and improves battery life of the electronic device by enabling the user to more quickly and efficiently use the electronic device.

[0247] In some embodiments, such as in FIG. 6D In some embodiments, such as in

[0248] The above-described manner of displaying the options corresponding to information about the content item provides an efficient way of viewing the information without ceasing playback of the content item, which additionally reduces power usage and improves battery life of the electronic device by enabling the user to more quickly and efficiently use the electronic device.

[0249] In some embodiments, such as in FIG. 6C In some embodiments, such as in

[0250] In some embodiments, such as in FIG. 6DIn some embodiments, in response to receiving an input directed to (e.g., currently focused on without selection, selection of) the third option (e.g., 614a), the electronic device displays, concurrently with the one or more first playback control elements or the one or more second playback control elements (e.g., 608a), a fourth option (e.g., 616c) and a fifth option (e.g., 616d), the fourth option selectable to play the content item from the beginning of the content item (e.g., 602a), and the fifth option selectable to display a user interface associated with the content item (e.g., 602a) that includes additional information associated with the content item (e.g., 602a). In some embodiments, in response to detecting selection of the fifth option, the electronic device stops playback of the content item. In some embodiments, the fourth option and the fifth option are displayed concurrently with the first option or the second option, the third option, and the one or more playback control elements overlaid on the content item. In some embodiments, the electronic device displays, concurrently with the fourth option and the fifth option, one or more of an image corresponding to the content item, a description of the content item, and a score of the content item (e.g., if the content item is a sports game). In some embodiments, the electronic device presents the fourth option and the fifth option at the location of the third option in the user interface prior to detecting the input directed to the third option. For example, prior to detecting the input directed to the third option, the electronic device displays the third option in a respective region of the user interface (e.g., at the bottom), and in response to detecting selection of the third option, the electronic device displays the fourth option and the fifth option in the respective region and moves other elements overlaid on the content item in the user interface (e.g., moves other elements overlaid on the content item in the user interface upward).

[0251] The above-described manner of presenting the fourth option and the fifth option provides an efficient way to start a content item from the beginning or to view a user interface associated with the content item, which additionally reduces power usage and improves battery life of the electronic device by enabling the user to use the electronic device more quickly and efficiently.

[0252] In some embodiments, such as in FIG. 6E In some embodiments, the content item (e.g., 602a) is a first episode in a series of episodic content. In some embodiments, the series of episodic content is a television show or other series of episodes that includes a set of content items in the series.

[0253] In some embodiments, such as in FIG. 6EIn some embodiments, based on determining that the corresponding content type is a first content type (e.g., the first type is an episode in an episodic content series), the first content corresponding to the first content type includes second content items (e.g., 618a to 618d), and the second content items are episodes in the episodic content series, including a second episode in the episodic content series that is different from the first episode. In some embodiments, based on determining that the content item is an episode in the episodic content series, the electronic device presents an option to view representations of other episodes in the episodic content series.

[0254] The above-described manner of presenting options corresponding to other episodes in an episodic content series provides an efficient way to browse the episodic content series of a content item while the content item is playing, which additionally reduces power usage and extends the battery life of the electronic device by enabling the user to use the electronic device more quickly and efficiently.

[0255] In some embodiments, such as FIG. 6D In some embodiments, such as in FIG. 6D , when the first option (e.g., 614b) is displayed, the electronic device (e.g., 500) receives input (e.g., via contact 603d) via one or more input devices (e.g., 510a) that is directed to (e.g., currently focused without selection, selected) the first option (e.g., 614b). In some embodiments, such as in FIG. 6FIn response to receiving input that a first option (e.g., 614b) is directed to (e.g., currently focused but not selected, selected), the electronic device (e.g., 500) displays representations (e.g., 618a to 618d) of second content items that are episodes in an episode content series simultaneously with one or more first playback control elements (e.g., 608a), wherein a first representation (e.g., 618b) of the first corresponding second content item to which the current focus (e.g., 613f) of the electronic device is not directed is displayed, but an indication of information associated with the first corresponding second content item (e.g., the name of the episode) is not displayed, and a second representation (e.g., 618a) of the second corresponding second content item to which the current focus (e.g., 613f) of the electronic device (e.g., 500) is directed is displayed, while an indication of information (e.g., 620a) associated with the second corresponding second content item (e.g., the name of the episode) is displayed. In some embodiments, in response to detecting an input directed to a first option, the electronic device displays representations of other episodes in the series of episodic content, where the content item is an episode overlaid on the content item at the location where the first option was previously displayed (e.g., while continuing to display the first option). In some embodiments, in response to detecting a selection of one of the representations of other episodes, the electronic device initiates playback of the episode corresponding to the selected representation. In some embodiments, the electronic device presents an indication of the name of the episode corresponding to the representation with the current focus of the electronic device, and does not display the name of the episode corresponding to the representation that does not have the current focus of the electronic device. In some embodiments, the electronic device displays the name of the episode associated with the representation with the current focus in a position near the representation of the episode with the current focus in the user interface. In some embodiments, the representation of the episode includes an image associated with the episode (e.g., a static image included in the video content of the episode).

[0256] The above-described manner of displaying an indication of information associated with a representation having the current focus of the electronic device provides an efficient manner of presenting information about the representation while reducing obscured portions of the content item, which additionally reduces power usage and extends the battery life of the electronic device by enabling the user to use the electronic device more quickly and efficiently.

[0257] In some embodiments, the one or more playback control elements include an option that, in response to detecting input directed to (e.g., current focus without selection, selection of) the option, causes the electronic device to present subtitle options for the content item. In some embodiments, the one or more playback control elements include an option that, in response to detecting input directed to (e.g., current focus without selection, selection of) the option, causes the electronic device to present audio controls for the content item. In some embodiments, the one or more playback control elements include an option that, in response to detecting input directed to (e.g., current focus without selection, selection of) the option, causes the electronic device to stop displaying the content item in full-screen mode and present the content item in a picture-in-picture element. In some embodiments, in response to detecting selection of one of the aforementioned options, the electronic device presents content associated with the selected option concurrently with the one or more playback control elements and options overlaid on the content item. In some embodiments, the one or more playback control elements include an option that, in response to detecting input directed to (e.g., current focus without selection, selection of) the option, causes the electronic device to switch inclusion or exclusion of the content item in a content library associated with the electronic device (e.g., a user account of the electronic device). In some embodiments, the electronic device also displays content item metadata (e.g., season, name, program name, content item name, sports game score, an indication that the content is being live streamed or broadcasted) concurrently with the playback control elements and options. In some embodiments, the electronic device presents additional content associated with the first and second options in response to detecting current focus directed to one of the first and second options, but does not perform the operations associated with the subtitle option, the audio control option, the PIP option, and the library option unless and until selection of the subtitle option or the audio option is detected. In some embodiments, in response to detecting input directed to the first or second option, the electronic device updates the position of the element (e.g., all) displayed overlaid on the content item to present the additional content at the position previously displaying the first or second option in the user interface without displaying the additional content on other elements overlaid on the content, but displays the additional content associated with the subtitle option, the audio control option, the PIP option, and the library option (if any) overlaid on the element overlaid on the content without updating the position of the other elements overlaid on the content. In some embodiments, the electronic device displays the first and / or second options based on the content type of the content item, but displays one or more of the subtitle option, the audio control option, the PIP option, and the library option based on a characteristic of the content other than the content type itself.

[0258] The advertisement markers have different visual characteristics (e.g., colors) depending on whether they have been watched or whether they are upcoming. In some embodiments, the one or more playback control elements include a scrubber bar. In some embodiments, the scrubber bar includes a visual indication of the playback position within the content at which the advertisement will play. In some embodiments, the visual indication of the playback position within the content at which the advertisement preceding the current playback position of the electronic device in the content item will play is displayed with different visual characteristics (e.g., color, size, translucency, style, etc.) than the visual indication of the playback position within the content at which the advertisement following the current playback position of the electronic device in the content item will play.

[0259] When the advertisement moment is reached, an advertisement countdown appears in the messaging area in the lower right.

[0260] In some embodiments, in response to detecting that the current playback position of the electronic device in the content item is within a predetermined threshold of time (e.g., 5, 10, 15, 30, etc. seconds) of the playback position at which the advertisement will play, the electronic device displays a time countdown indication before the advertisement begins to play. In some embodiments, the countdown indication is displayed at a predetermined location in the user interface that is overlaid on the content item (e.g., one of the bottom corners).

[0261] In some embodiments, the electronic device displays the countdown indication (e.g., at the respective predetermined location in the user interface) regardless of whether the electronic device is displaying playback control elements and options overlaid on the content item. In some embodiments, the electronic device presents the countdown indication while displaying playback control elements and options overlaid on the content item, and in response to an input that stops the display of playback control elements and options overlaid on the content item, stops the display of playback control elements and options overlaid on the content item and continues to display the countdown indication overlaid on the content item.

[0262] In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the current playback position of the electronic device in the content item is greater than a threshold time (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 30 minutes, etc.) from an end of the content item, the electronic device displays, proximate to the scrubber included in the one or more playback control elements, a visual indication of the time remaining between the current playback position of the electronic device in the content item and the end of the content item. In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the current playback position of the electronic device in the content item is less than the threshold time (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 30 minutes, etc.) from the end of the content item, the electronic device forgoes displaying a visual indication of the time remaining between the current playback position of the electronic device in the content item and the end of the content item. In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the visual indication of the current playback position of the electronic device in the content item on the scrubber included in the one or more playback control elements is greater than a threshold distance (e.g., 50, 100, 200, 500 pixels, etc.) from a position of the scrubber corresponding to the end of the content item, the electronic device displays, proximate to the scrubber, a visual indication of the time remaining between the current playback position of the electronic device in the content item and the end of the content item. In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the visual indication of the current playback position of the electronic device in the content item on the scrubber included in the one or more playback control elements is less than the threshold distance (e.g., 50, 100, 200, 500, etc. pixels) from the position of the scrubber corresponding to the end of the content item, the electronic device forgoes displaying a visual indication of the time remaining between the current playback position of the electronic device in the content item and the end of the content item.

[0263] In some embodiments, while the electronic device presents the content item without displaying the one or more playback control elements and options overlaid on the content item, the electronic device displays, at a first location (e.g., the bottom), a subtitle of the content item overlaid on the content item. In some embodiments, while the electronic device presents the content item with the one or more playback control elements and options overlaid on the content item, the electronic device displays, at a first location (e.g., the bottom), the one or more playback control elements and options overlaid on the content item, and displays, at a second location (e.g., directly above the one or more playback control elements and options), a subtitle of the content item overlaid on the content item.

[0264] In some embodiments, such as in FIG. 6XIn some embodiments, the corresponding content type is live content (e.g., live media being streamed live from a source or being broadcast live). In some embodiments, the electronic device cannot jump within the playback position of the live media. In some embodiments, the electronic device can jump within a limited range of the playback position of the live media. In some embodiments, the electronic device can jump to any playback position in the live media. In some embodiments, live media is a content item currently being broadcast or streamed from its source during a predetermined time defined by a content source (rather than before or after the time defined by the source). For example, a news broadcast is broadcast by a content source (e.g., a channel) from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m., and the electronic device can access the news broadcast within this time period, with the corresponding portion of the news broadcast available at the corresponding time, but unavailable at other times.

[0265] In some embodiments, such as FIG. 6X In some embodiments, while presenting a content item (e.g., 602c), an electronic device (e.g., 500) receives input (e.g., via contact 603x) via one or more input devices corresponding to a request to rewind (or skip forward in) the content item (e.g., 602c) by a corresponding amount. In some embodiments, the input is directed to a corresponding playback control element associated with the live content (e.g., a slider for the live content). In some embodiments, the corresponding amount corresponds to the speed, duration, distance, etc. of a directional component of the input (e.g., a swipe, pressing and holding a directional button of an input device).

[0266] In some embodiments, while presenting a content item (e.g., 602c), in response to receiving input corresponding to a request to rewind the content (e.g., FIG. 6X 603x), based on determining that the corresponding amount is less than (or equal to) a (e.g., predetermined) threshold, the electronic device 500 rewinds (or skips forward) the content (e.g., 602c) by the corresponding amount, such as in FIG. 6Z In some embodiments, the predetermined threshold is selected by the provider or creator of the content item, and different live content items are associated with different predetermined thresholds.

[0267] In some embodiments, while presenting a content item (e.g., 602c), in response to receiving an input (e.g., FIG. 6Y In the contact 603y), based on determining that the corresponding amount is greater than a (eg, predetermined) threshold, the electronic device (eg, 500) abandons rewinding the content by the corresponding amount, such as in FIG. 6ZIn some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the respective amount is greater than a predetermined threshold, the electronic device skips back the content by the threshold amount. In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the respective amount is greater than a predetermined threshold, the electronic device does not skip back the content and continues playback of the content from the current playback position. In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the respective amount is greater than (e.g., a predetermined) threshold, the electronic device presents a visual indication that skipping over the predetermined threshold is not permitted. In some embodiments, the swipe input includes a horizontal movement component that causes the electronic device to update the position of the scrubber bar in accordance with the horizontal movement, and a selection component that causes the electronic device to begin playback of the content item from the position of the scrubber bar. In some embodiments, the electronic device limits movement of the indication of the scrubber bar over the threshold even if the moved portion of the input corresponds to movement of the indication of the scrubber bar over the threshold.

[0268] The above-described manner of skipping back a content item by within a predetermined threshold provides an efficient way of complying with content item licensing agreements, which additionally reduces power usage and prolongs battery life of the electronic device by enabling the user to more quickly and efficiently use the electronic device.

[0269] In some embodiments, such as in FIG. 6X In some embodiments, the first content type is live content (e.g., live media that is being live streamed or live broadcasted from a source). In some embodiments, the electronic device is unable to jump within a playback position of the live media. In some embodiments, the electronic device is able to jump within a limited range of the playback position of the live media. In some embodiments, the electronic device is able to jump to any playback position within the live media.

[0270] In some embodiments, such as in FIG. 6XIn some embodiments, the one or more first playback control elements include a scrubber (e.g., 608d) that includes a first region (e.g., 610d) corresponding to an earlier playback position in the content item (e.g., 602c) that is not fast-rewindable (e.g., displayed with a first visual characteristic (e.g., color, size, translucency, style, pattern, etc.)), a second region (e.g., 610a) corresponding to an earlier playback position in the content item (e.g., 602c) that is fast-rewindable (e.g., displayed with a second visual characteristic (e.g., color, size, translucency, style, pattern, etc.) that is optionally different from the first visual characteristic), and a third region (e.g., 610f) corresponding to a future playback position of the content item (e.g., with a buffered portion) (e.g., displayed with a third visual characteristic (e.g., color, size, translucency, style, pattern, etc.) that is optionally different from the first visual characteristic and the second visual characteristic). In some embodiments, the scrubber further includes a fourth region (e.g., displayed with a fourth visual characteristic (e.g., color, size, translucency, style, pattern, etc.) that is optionally different from the first visual characteristic, the second visual characteristic, and the third visual characteristic) that corresponds to a future playback position of a portion of the content item that has not yet been buffered. In some embodiments, if there are no restrictions on how far the electronic device is able to fast-rewind the content item, the scrubber includes only one region before the current playback position of the electronic device in the content item (e.g., the entire scrubber corresponding to playback positions before the current playback position of the electronic device in the content item has one visual characteristic). In some embodiments, the electronic device is able to update the indication of the scrubber to a position within the second region or the third region, but not to a position within the first region or the fourth region.

[0271] The above-described manner of including a scrubber that corresponds to different regions of a content item that are allowed to be jumped back to, are not allowed to be jumped back to, and are after the current playback position provides an efficient way of indicating how far the electronic device is able to jump back within the content item, which additionally reduces power usage and improves battery life of the electronic device by enabling the user to use the electronic device more quickly and efficiently.

[0272] In some embodiments, such as in FIG. 6DDIn some embodiments, in response to the input, the electronic device displays a scrubber (e.g., 608f) (e.g., included in one or more playback control elements) that includes a first region (e.g., 610e) corresponding to playback positions of content items before the current playback position of the content item (e.g., 602e) and a second region (e.g., 610h) corresponding to playback positions of content items after the current playback position of the content item (e.g., 602e) (e.g., included in one or more playback control elements), where the first region (e.g., 610e) of the scrubber and the second region (e.g., 610h) of the scrubber (e.g., included in one or more playback control elements) are displayed in the same visual style (e.g., same color, size, translucency, overall appearance). In some embodiments, the electronic device is unable to jump within the playback position of the live media. In some embodiments, the electronic device is able to jump within a limited range of the playback position of the live media. In some embodiments, the electronic device is able to jump to any playback position within the live media. In some embodiments, the scrubber includes a visual indication of the current playback position of the electronic device within the content item. In some embodiments, the scrubber includes a visual indication of the time remaining between the current playback position of the electronic device within the content item and the end of the content item. In some embodiments, the electronic device is unable to update the scrub position indicated by the scrubber based on a scrub input (e.g., the scrub position of the scrubber indicates the current playback position of the content item, which is based on the portion of the content item that the content source is currently providing).

[0273] The above-described manner of displaying the first region and the second region of the scrubber with the same visual characteristics when skipping is unavailable provides an efficient way of indicating to the user that input directed to the scrubber will not cause the electronic device to skip the playback position within the content item, which additionally reduces power usage and improves battery life of the electronic device by enabling the user to use the electronic device more quickly and efficiently.

[0274] In some embodiments, such as in FIG. 6IIn some embodiments, in displaying a respective playback control element (e.g., 608b) (e.g., a scrubber included in one or more playback control elements) that corresponds to a respective content item (e.g., 602a), in accordance with a determination that a friend of a user of the electronic device (e.g., 500) has consumed (at least) a portion of the content item (e.g., 602a), the respective playback control element (e.g., 608b) includes a first visual indication (e.g., 622a) of a current playback position of the content item (e.g., 602a) that is associated with (e.g., at the end of) the portion of the content item (e.g., 602a) consumed by the friend, including a graphical representation of the friend. In some embodiments, the graphical representation of the friend is an image or avatar associated with a user account of the friend or a contact card entry of the electronic device (e.g., associated with a user account of the electronic device) associated with the friend. In some embodiments, a “friend” is a user that shares content consumption history. In some embodiments, the graphical representation of the friend is displayed at a position of the scrubber that corresponds to a playback position within the content item that was recently played by the friend (e.g., a playback position at which the friend paused or stopped playback of the content or a playback position at which the friend is currently playing). In some embodiments, the electronic device presents the first visual indication regardless of whether the friend has completed the content item or has only played a subset of the content item. In some embodiments, the electronic device only presents the first visual indication if the friend has watched a subset of the content item and the electronic device forgoes presenting the first visual indication if the friend has watched the entire content item.

[0275] The above-described manner of presenting a visual indication of a current playback position of a content item that is associated with a portion of the content item consumed by a friend provides an efficient way of sharing content consumption history of the friend with a user of the electronic device, which additionally reduces power usage and improves battery life of the electronic device by enabling the user to use the electronic device more quickly and efficiently.

[0276] In some embodiments, such as in FIG. 6IIn some embodiments, such as in Fig. 6J, in response to receiving a sequence of one or more inputs (e.g., including contact 603j) that corresponds to a request to further update the playback position of the scrubber to a playback position that is different from the playback position of the content item associated with the portion of the content item consumed by the friend, the electronic device (e.g., 500) ceases to display the first visual indication (e.g., 622a) of the current playback position of the content item (e.g., 602a) that includes the graphical representation of the friend. In some embodiments, the electronic device ceases to display the first visual indication of the current playback position of the content item associated with the portion of the content item consumed by the friend when the playback position of the scrubber is the same as the playback position of the content item associated with the portion of the content item consumed by the friend. In some embodiments, the electronic device ceases to display the first visual indication of the current playback position of the content item associated with the portion of the content item consumed by the friend in response to detecting an input that corresponds to a request to further update the playback position of the scrubber to a playback position that is different from the playback position of the content item associated with the portion of the content item consumed by the friend.

[0277] In some embodiments, such as in Fig. 6J, in response to receiving a sequence of one or more inputs (e.g., including contact 603j) that corresponds to a request to further update the playback position of the scrubber to a playback position that is different from the playback position of the content item associated with the portion of the content item consumed by the friend, the electronic device (e.g., 500) ceases to display the first visual indication (e.g., 622a) of the current playback position of the content item (e.g., 602a) that includes the graphical representation of the friend. In some embodiments, the electronic device ceases to display the first visual indication of the current playback position of the content item associated with the portion of the content item consumed by the friend when the playback position of the scrubber is the same as the playback position of the content item associated with the portion of the content item consumed by the friend. In some embodiments, the electronic device ceases to display the first visual indication of the current playback position of the content item associated with the portion of the content item consumed by the friend in response to detecting an input that corresponds to a request to further update the playback position of the scrubber to a playback position that is different from the playback position of the content item associated with the portion of the content item consumed by the friend. FIG. 6K FIG. 6J In some embodiments, such as in Fig. 6J, in response to receiving a sequence of one or more inputs (e.g., including contact 603j) that corresponds to a request to further update the playback position of the scrubber to a playback position that is different from the playback position of the content item associated with the portion of the content item consumed by the friend, the electronic device (e.g., 500) ceases to display the first visual indication (e.g., 622a) of the current playback position of the content item (e.g., 602a) that includes the graphical representation of the friend. In some embodiments, the electronic device ceases to display the first visual indication of the current playback position of the content item associated with the portion of the content item consumed by the friend when the playback position of the scrubber is the same as the playback position of the content item associated with the portion of the content item consumed by the friend.

FIG. 6K ​In some embodiments, in response to receiving the sequence of one or more inputs, the electronic device (e.g., 500) displays, in association with the respective playback control element (e.g., 608b), a second visual indication (e.g., 622b) of the current playback position of the content item (e.g., 602a) associated with the portion of the content item (e.g., 602a) consumed by the friend without including the graphical representation of the friend. In some embodiments, the second visual indication of the playback position of the content item associated with the portion of the content item consumed by the friend is an indication of the position on the scrubber that does not include the graphical representation of the friend. In some embodiments, in response to detecting an input corresponding to a request to update the playback position indicated by the scrubber to the playback position of the content item associated with the portion of the content item consumed by the friend, the electronic device displays the first visual indication of the playback position of the content item associated with the portion of the content item consumed by the friend. The above-described manner of displaying the second visual indication of the current playback position of the content item associated with the portion of the content item consumed by the friend without including the graphical representation of the friend in response to the sequence of one or more inputs provides an efficient way of reducing the portion of the content obscured by the graphical representation of the friend while still indicating the current playback position of the content item associated with the portion of the content item consumed by the friend, which additionally reduces power usage and improves battery life of the electronic device by enabling the user to use the electronic device more quickly and efficiently.

[0279] In some embodiments, such as in FIG. 6I In some embodiments, in response to receiving the sequence of one or more inputs, the electronic device (e.g., 500) displays, in association with the respective playback control element (e.g., 608b), a second visual indication (e.g., 622b) of the current playback position of the content item (e.g., 602a) associated with the portion of the content item (e.g., 602a) consumed by the friend without including the graphical representation of the friend. In some embodiments, the second visual indication of the playback position of the content item associated with the portion of the content item consumed by the friend is an indication of the position on the scrubber that does not include the graphical representation of the friend. In some embodiments, in response to detecting an input corresponding to a request to update the playback position indicated by the scrubber to the playback position of the content item associated with the portion of the content item consumed by the friend, the electronic device displays the first visual indication of the playback position of the content item associated with the portion of the content item consumed by the friend. The above-described manner of displaying the second visual indication of the current playback position of the content item associated with the portion of the content item consumed by the friend without including the graphical representation of the friend in response to the sequence of one or more inputs provides an efficient way of reducing the portion of the content obscured by the graphical representation of the friend while still indicating the current playback position of the content item associated with the portion of the content item consumed by the friend, which additionally reduces power usage and improves battery life of the electronic device by enabling the user to use the electronic device more quickly and efficiently.

[0280] In some embodiments, in response to receiving the sequence of one or more inputs, the electronic device (e.g., 500) displays, in association with the respective playback control element (e.g., 608b), a second visual indication (e.g., 622b) of the current playback position of the content item (e.g., 602a) associated with the portion of the content item (e.g., 602a) consumed by the friend without including the graphical representation of the friend. In some embodiments, the second visual indication of the playback position of the content item associated with the portion of the content item consumed by the friend is an indication of the position on the scrubber that does not include the graphical representation of the friend.

The above-described manner of displaying the second visual indication of the current playback position of the content item associated with the portion of the content item consumed by the friend without including the graphical representation of the friend in response to the sequence of one or more inputs provides an efficient way of reducing the portion of the content obscured by the graphical representation of the friend while still indicating the current playback position of the content item associated with the portion of the content item consumed by the friend, which additionally reduces power usage and improves battery life of the electronic device by enabling the user to use the electronic device more quickly and efficiently. FIG. 6IIn some embodiments, if input is received while the second visual indication is displayed and the input is directed to the second visual indication, the electronic device displays the first visual indication and the visual indication of the friend's name in response to receiving the input.

[0281] The above-described manner of displaying visual indications of friends' names in association with corresponding playback control elements provides an efficient way to provide more information about friends, which in turn reduces power usage and extends the battery life of the electronic device by enabling the user to use the electronic device more quickly and efficiently.

[0282] In some embodiments, such as FIG. 6N In some embodiments, when presenting a content item (e.g., 602a) without displaying one or more corresponding control elements (e.g., a slider) corresponding to the corresponding content type (e.g., one or more first playback control elements or one or more second playback control elements are not displayed and the first option or the second option is not displayed), the electronic device (e.g., 500) receives, via one or more input devices, an input (e.g., 603n) corresponding to a request to update the current playback position in the content item (e.g., 602a) by a predetermined amount (e.g., 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 seconds, etc., such as a click input detected in the right (skip forward) or left (skip backward) portion of an input area of ​​the remote control device (e.g., touch-sensitive surface 451). In some embodiments, the request is to jump forward or backward within the content item.

[0283] In some embodiments, such as FIG. 6N In the embodiment of the present invention, when presenting a content item (e.g., 602a) without displaying one or more corresponding control elements (e.g., a slider) corresponding to the corresponding content type (e.g., one or more first playback control elements or one or more second playback control elements are not displayed and the first option or the second option is not displayed), in response to receiving an input (e.g., 603n) corresponding to a request to update a current playback position in the content item (e.g., 602a) by a predetermined amount, such as in FIG. 6N In the example, the electronic device (eg, 500) updates the current playback position in the content item (eg, 602a) by a predetermined amount, such as in FIG. 6O In some embodiments, updating the current playback position in the content item by the predetermined amount includes continuing playback of the content item from the updated playback position.

[0284] In some embodiments, such asFIG. 6N In some embodiments, while presenting a content item (e.g., 602a) without displaying one or more respective control elements (e.g., a scrubber) corresponding to the respective content type (e.g., without displaying one or more first playback control elements or one or more second playback control elements and without displaying a first option or a second option), in response to receiving an input (e.g., 603n) corresponding to a request to update a current playback position in the content item (e.g., 602a) by a predetermined amount, the electronic device displays the respective control element (e.g., 608a) (e.g., a scrubber) corresponding to the respective content type without displaying the respective option corresponding to respective content corresponding to the respective content type. In some embodiments, in response to receiving an input corresponding to a request to update a current playback position in a content item by a predetermined amount, the electronic device displays the scrubber without displaying one or more other playback control elements or with the other indication or option displayed while displaying one or more playback control elements and a first option or a second option. For example, the electronic device forgoes display of a chapter option even if the content item is a movie and forgoes display of an episode option even if the content item is an episode of a series of episodes of content. As another example, the electronic device forgoes display of an information option, a subtitles option, an audio option, a library option, a PIP option, and / or metadata associated with the content item. In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., automatically, without receiving further input) ceases display of the scrubber after a predetermined threshold of time (e.g., 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, etc. seconds) elapses since initiating display of the scrubber without detecting further input. In some embodiments, in addition to displaying the scrubber, the electronic device displays a visual indication associated with the input. FIG. 6N In some embodiments, while presenting a content item (e.g., 602a) without displaying one or more respective control elements (e.g., a scrubber) corresponding to the respective content type (e.g., without displaying one or more first playback control elements or one or more second playback control elements and without displaying a first option or a second option), in response to receiving an input (e.g., 603n) corresponding to a request to update a current playback position in the content item (e.g., 602a) by a predetermined amount, the electronic device displays the respective control element (e.g., 608a) (e.g., a scrubber) corresponding to the respective content type without displaying the respective option corresponding to respective content corresponding to the respective content type. In some embodiments, in response to receiving an input corresponding to a request to update a current playback position in a content item by a predetermined amount, the electronic device displays the scrubber without displaying one or more other playback control elements or with the other indication or option displayed while displaying one or more playback control elements and a first option or a second option. For example, the electronic device forgoes display of a chapter option even if the content item is a movie and forgoes display of an episode option even if the content item is an episode of a series of episodes of content. As another example, the electronic device forgoes display of an information option, a subtitles option, an audio option, a library option, a PIP option, and / or metadata associated with the content item. In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., automatically, without receiving further input) ceases display of the scrubber after a predetermined threshold of time (e.g., 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, etc. seconds) elapses since initiating display of the scrubber without detecting further input. In some embodiments, in addition to displaying the scrubber, the electronic device displays a visual indication associated with the input.

[0285] The above-described way of presenting a respective control element without a respective option in response to an input corresponding to a request to update a current playback position in a content item by a predetermined amount provides an efficient way of reducing the portion of a content item obscured by playback control elements and options while providing visual feedback of the input, which additionally reduces power usage and improves battery life of the electronic device by enabling the user to use the electronic device more quickly and efficiently.

[0286] In some embodiments, such as in FIG. 6JIn some embodiments, when displaying one or more playback control elements (e.g., 608b) (e.g., one or more first playback control elements or one or more second playback control elements) corresponding to the corresponding content type, the electronic device (e.g., 500) receives an input (e.g., 603j) directed to the first playback control element (e.g., 608b) (e.g., a slider) corresponding to the corresponding content type via one or more input devices (e.g., 510b). In some embodiments, the input corresponds to a request to update the playback position indicated by the slider.

[0287] In some embodiments, while displaying one or more playback control elements (e.g., 608b) corresponding to a corresponding content type (e.g., one or more first playback control elements or one or more second playback control elements), in response to receiving an input (e.g., 603j) directed to the first playback control element (e.g., 608b) corresponding to the corresponding content type, such as in FIG. 6J In the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device (e.g., 500) displays a thumbnail (e.g., 624b) corresponding to the corresponding portion of the content item (e.g., 602a) near the first playback control element (e.g., 608b) based on the input. In some embodiments, the thumbnail includes a static image of the content item at the playback position indicated by the slider based on the input.

[0288] In some embodiments, while one or more playback control elements (e.g., 608b) corresponding to the corresponding content type are displayed (e.g., one or more first playback control elements or one or more second playback control elements), in response to receiving an input (e.g., 603j) directed to the first playback control element (e.g., 608b) corresponding to the corresponding content type after a predetermined time (e.g., 626b) (e.g., 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 seconds, etc.) has passed since the self-initiating thumbnail (e.g., 624c) was displayed (e.g., no additional input was detected), such as in FIG. 6J In the embodiment, the thumbnail (e.g., 624c) is displayed as an overlay on a second playback control element (e.g., 606a) of the one or more playback control elements corresponding to the corresponding content type, such as in FIG. 6K In the example, the electronic device (eg, 500) stops displaying thumbnails, such as in FIG. 6L In some embodiments, the second playback control element is displayed near the slider in the user interface, such as above the slider. In some embodiments, if the thumbnail (at least partially) covers the playback control element, the display of the thumbnail times out after a predetermined time threshold.

[0289] In some embodiments, while one or more playback control elements (e.g., 608b) corresponding to the corresponding content type are displayed (e.g., one or more first playback control elements or one or more second playback control elements), in response to receiving an input (e.g., 603j) directed to the first playback control element (e.g., 608b) corresponding to the corresponding content type after a predetermined time (e.g., 626b) (e.g., 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 seconds, etc.) has passed since the self-initiating thumbnail (e.g., 624d) was displayed (e.g., no additional input was detected), such as in FIG. 6J In accordance with determining that the thumbnail (e.g., 624d) is not displayed as overlaid on the second playback control element (e.g., 606a) (e.g., or any other control element), the electronic device (e.g., 500) maintains display of the thumbnail (e.g., 624d), such as in FIG. 6M In some embodiments, if the thumbnail is not overlaid on a playback control element, the display of the thumbnail does not time out after a predetermined time threshold. The above-described manner of stopping the display of the thumbnail after a predetermined time if the thumbnail is displayed (at least partially) overlaid on another playback control element provides an efficient manner of presenting playback control elements in a user interface, which in addition reduces power usage and extends the battery life of the electronic device by enabling the user to use the electronic device more quickly and efficiently.

[0290] In some embodiments, in response to receiving an input (e.g., FIG. 6A 603a), the electronic device (e.g., 500) displays one or more corresponding playback control elements (e.g., 608a) corresponding to the corresponding content type (e.g., one or more first playback control elements or one or more second playback control elements), such as FIG. 6B In some embodiments, the electronic device displays one or more corresponding playback control elements overlaid on the content item.

[0291] In some embodiments, such as FIG. 6B In some embodiments, such as in FIG. 6BIn some embodiments, in response to receiving the input, the current focus of the electronic device (e.g., 500) is initially directed to the scrubber (e.g., 608a). In some embodiments, the electronic device concurrently displays one or more interactive control elements or options above the scrubber and one or more interactive control elements or options below the scrubber. For example, the electronic device displays the first option or the second option below the scrubber and, in response to a downward input, moves the current focus from the scrubber to the first option or the second option. As another example, the electronic device displays the audio option, the caption option, the PIP option, and / or the library option above the scrubber and, in response to an upward input, moves the current focus from the scrubber to one of the audio option, the caption option, the PIP option, or the library option.

[0292] The above-described manner of initially directing the current focus of the electronic device to the scrubber provides an efficient way of providing input directed to the scrubber, which additionally reduces power usage and improves battery life of the electronic device by enabling the user to use the electronic device more quickly and efficiently.

[0293] In some embodiments, in response to receiving the input (e.g., FIG. 6A In some embodiments, in response to receiving the input (e.g., FIG. 6A In some embodiments, in response to receiving the input (e.g., FIG. 6P In some embodiments, in response to receiving the input (e.g., In some embodiments, in response to receiving the input (e.g.,

[0294] In some embodiments, in response to receiving the input (e.g., FIG. 6BIn some embodiments, the one or more options are displayed with the second visual characteristic (e.g., and are selectable and / or can have the current focus directed to them) in accordance with a determination that the one or more options are a plurality of options (e.g., 614a-c) (e.g., including the first option and / or the second option). In some embodiments, displaying the options with the second visual characteristic includes displaying the options aligned with the (e.g., left or right) side of the content without an arrow indicating that a downward input (e.g., a swipe, selecting a down arrow key, etc.) will perform a respective function associated with the option. In some embodiments, if the electronic device displays a plurality of options, the electronic device performs an action with respect to the option in response to detecting an input directed to (e.g., the current focus without selection, selection) the option. In some embodiments, the number of displayed options depends on the type of additional content associated with the available content item. In some embodiments, if one option is displayed below the scrubber bar, a downward input detected while the current focus is on the scrubber bar moves the current focus to the additional content associated with the option. In some embodiments, if a plurality of options are displayed below the scrubber bar, a downward input detected while the current focus is on the scrubber bar causes the current focus to move to the option, and a subsequent downward input causes the current focus to move to the content associated with the option.

[0295] The above-described manner of displaying one or more options with different visual characteristics depending on whether there is one option or a plurality of options provides an efficient way of performing an action with respect to the option and ensures that the option is easily visible to the user in the case where only one option is displayed, which additionally reduces power usage of the electronic device and prolongs battery life of the electronic device by enabling the user to use the electronic device more quickly and efficiently.

[0296] In some embodiments, such as in FIG. 6DD In some embodiments, such as in FIG. 6DD In some embodiments, such as in

[0297] In some embodiments, such as in FIG. 6DDIn some embodiments, in conjunction with displaying one or more respective playback control elements (e.g., 608f) corresponding to respective content types (e.g., one or more first playback control elements or one or more second playback control elements), the electronic device (e.g., 500) displays a message (e.g., 630b) that the action is not available in response to receiving input (e.g., 603dd) corresponding to a request to perform the action with respect to the content item, such as in FIG. 6DD In some embodiments, in conjunction with displaying one or more respective playback control elements (e.g., 608f) corresponding to respective content types (e.g., one or more first playback control elements or one or more second playback control elements), the electronic device (e.g., 500) displays a message (e.g., 630b) that the action is not available in response to receiving input (e.g., 603dd) corresponding to a request to perform the action with respect to the content item, such as in FIG. 6EE In some embodiments, the playback position to skip within the content item is not available for (e.g., any, some) live media. In some embodiments, in response to input corresponding to a request to skip the current playback position within the content item, the electronic device skips the current playback position within the content item if the playback position within the content item is not available.

[0298] In some embodiments, in conjunction with displaying one or more respective playback control elements (e.g., 608f) corresponding to respective content types (e.g., one or more first playback control elements or one or more second playback control elements), the electronic device (e.g., 500) displays a message (e.g., 630b) that the action is not available in response to receiving input (e.g., 603dd) corresponding to a request to perform the action with respect to the content item, such as in FIG. 6DD In some embodiments, in conjunction with displaying one or more respective playback control elements (e.g., 608f) corresponding to respective content types (e.g., one or more first playback control elements or one or more second playback control elements), the electronic device (e.g., 500) displays a message (e.g., 630b) that the action is not available in response to receiving input (e.g., 603dd) corresponding to a request to perform the action with respect to the content item, such as in FIG. 6DD In some embodiments, in conjunction with displaying one or more respective playback control elements (e.g., 608f) corresponding to respective content types (e.g., one or more first playback control elements or one or more second playback control elements), the electronic device (e.g., 500) displays a message (e.g., 630b) that the action is not available in response to receiving input (e.g., 603dd) corresponding to a request to perform the action with respect to the content item, such as in

[0299] The above-described manner of presenting a message that the action is not available provides an efficient way to confirm that the input has been received without performing the action, which additionally reduces power usage and improves battery life of the electronic device by enabling the user to use the electronic device more quickly and efficiently.

[0300] In some embodiments, in response to receiving input (e.g., FIG. 6A(e.g., 603a), the electronic device (e.g., 500) displays one or more respective options (e.g., 614a-c) corresponding to respective content corresponding to the respective content type, such as in FIG. 6B (e.g., and concurrently displays one or more respective playback control elements (e.g., one or more first playback control elements or one or more second playback control elements) corresponding to the respective content type overlaid on the content item).

[0301] In some embodiments, such as in FIG. 6B In some embodiments, such as in In some embodiments, such as in

[0302] In some embodiments, such as in FIG. 6Q In some embodiments, such as in

[0303] The above-described manner of displaying respective options depending on the source of the content provides an efficient way of presenting options related to presented content, which additionally reduces power usage and improves battery life of the electronic device by enabling the user to use the electronic device more quickly and efficiently.

[0304] In some embodiments, such as in FIG. 6BIn some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the respective content type is a first content type (e.g., an episode in a series of episodes of content), the one or more respective options include an information option (e.g., 614a) associated with information about the content item (e.g., 602a) (e.g., causing the electronic device to display in response to detecting input directed to (e.g., current focus without selection, selection) the option), an episode option (e.g., 614b) associated with an episode of the same series of episode content associated with the content item (e.g., 602a) (e.g., causing the electronic device to display a representation of the option in response to detecting input directed to (e.g., current focus without selection, selection) the option), and a playback queue option (e.g., 614c) associated with a plurality of third content items in a playback queue of a user of the electronic device (e.g., 500) (e.g., causing the electronic device to display a representation of the option in response to detecting input directed to (e.g., current focus without selection, selection) the option). In some embodiments, in response to detecting input directed to (e.g., current focus without selection, selection) a respective one of the options, the electronic device presents content associated with the option at a respective position in the user interface. In some embodiments, the electronic device presents content associated with each of the options at the same position in the user interface overlaid on the content item.

[0305] The above-described manner of presenting the information option, the episode option, and the playback queue option if the content type is the first content type provides an efficient way of presenting options related to the content item, which additionally reduces power usage and improves battery life of the electronic device by enabling the user to use the electronic device more quickly and efficiently.

[0306] In some embodiments, such as in FIG. 6AAIn the embodiment of the present invention, based on determining that the corresponding content type is the second content type (e.g., a movie), one or more corresponding options include an information option (e.g., 614a) associated with information about the content item (e.g., caused by the electronic device displaying a representation of the option in response to detecting an input directed to (e.g., current focus without selection, selection) the option), a chapter option (e.g., 614e) associated with a chapter of the content item (e.g., caused by the electronic device displaying a representation of the option in response to detecting an input directed to (e.g., current focus without selection, selection) the option), and a next queue option (e.g., 614c) associated with representations of multiple third content items in the playback queue (e.g., caused by the electronic device displaying a representation of the option in response to detecting an input directed to (e.g., current focus without selection, selection) the option). In some embodiments, in response to detecting an input directed to (e.g., current focus without selection, selection) a corresponding one of the options, the electronic device presents content associated with the option at a corresponding location in the user interface. In some embodiments, the electronic device presents content associated with each option at the same location in the user interface overlaid on the content item.

[0307] If the content type is the second content type, the above-described manner of presenting information options, chapter options, and playback queue options provides an efficient manner of presenting options related to the content item, which additionally reduces power usage of the electronic device and extends the battery life of the electronic device by enabling the user to use the electronic device more quickly and efficiently.

[0308] In some embodiments, such as FIG. 6B In some embodiments, the electronic device displays all options, and in response to detecting an input directed to (e.g., current focus without selection, selection of) a corresponding option, the electronic device presents the corresponding content associated with the corresponding option in the first area of ​​the user interface.

[0309] In some embodiments, such as FIG. 6BIn some embodiments, one or more respective options that are not associated with the respective content (e.g., 606a-c) are not displayed in the first region of the user interface. In some embodiments, one or more respective options that are not associated with the respective content are displayed in a second region of the user interface. In some embodiments, the user interface does not include one or more respective options that are not associated with the respective content. In some embodiments, the electronic device does not display options that are not associated with the content in the first region of the user interface. For example, the electronic device presents options that, in response to detecting input directed to (e.g., currently in focus without selection, selection) the respective option, cause the electronic device to display settings and / or playback control elements for the content item in a second region of the user interface that is different from the first region. In some embodiments, the second region of the user interface is over the respective playback control element (e.g., a scrubber bar).

[0310] The above-described manner of presenting options associated with content in a first region of a user interface provides an efficient way of presenting options associated with content near the respective region of the user interface in which the content will be displayed in response to detecting input directed to the options, which additionally reduces power usage and improves battery life of the electronic device by enabling the user to use the electronic device more quickly and efficiently.

[0311] It should be understood that the particular order in which the operations in the methods described in FIG. 7 are carried out is merely exemplary and is not intended to indicate that the described order is the only order in which the operations could be carried out. One of ordinary skill in the art would recognize various ways to reorder the operations described herein. Additionally, it should be noted that details of other processes described herein with respect to other methods described herein (e.g., method 900) are also applicable in an analogous manner to method 700 described above with respect to method 700. For example, the manners in which the user interface for controlling playback of a content item is presented described above with reference to method 700 optionally have one or more of the characteristics of the manners in which the user interface is presented for browsing and switching between content items available for playback described with reference to other methods described herein (e.g., method 900). For the sake of brevity, these details are not repeated here. FIG. 7

[0312] The operations in the above-described information processing methods are, optionally, implemented by running one or more functional modules in an information processing apparatus such as general FIGS. 1A-1B , FIG. 3 , FIGS. 5A-5C purposes as described with respect to FIG. 7 , FIGS. 1A-1B ​The components depicted in the figures can be implemented in the context of one or more devices such as the electronic device 100. For example, the receiving operation 702 and the displaying operation 704 are optionally implemented by the event classifier 170, the event recognizer 180, and the event handler 190. The event monitor 171 in the event classifier 170 detects contacts on the touch screen 504, and the event dispatcher module 174 transmits event information to the application 136-1. The corresponding event recognizer 180 of the application 136-1 compares the event information to respective event definitions 186 and determines whether a first contact at a first location on the touch screen corresponds to a predefined event or sub-event, such as a selection of an object on a user interface. When a respective predefined event or sub-event is detected, the event recognizer 180 activates an event handler 190 associated with the detection of the event or sub-event. The event handler 190 optionally utilizes or calls data updater 176 or object updater 177 to update the application internal state 192. In some embodiments, the event handler 190 accesses a respective GUI updater 178 to update what is displayed by the application. Similarly, it would be clear to a person having ordinary skill in the art how other processes can be implemented in the context of the components depicted in the figures. FIGS. 1A-1B Other processes can be implemented in the context of the components depicted in the figures.

FIG. 9 It should be understood that these examples are not meant to be limiting, and that the electronic device is capable of performing one or more processes described below in ways that are not explicitly described.

[0316] FIGS. 8A-8LVarious examples of user interfaces for browsing and switching between content items available for playback on an electronic device are shown. For example, the electronic device optionally displays representations of content items while playing the respective content items.

[0317] FIG. 8A The electronic device 500 presenting playback control elements overlaid on a television program 802a playing on the electronic device 500 is shown. In some embodiments, the manner in which the electronic device 500 presents playback control elements overlaid on the television program 802a includes one or more steps of the method 700. In some embodiments, when the electronic device 500 is initially powered on, initially enters a content playback mode, and / or initially navigates to the live content tab 810b and does not include playback of the sound of the television program 802a, FIG. 8A The user interface shown in FIG. 7B is presented by the electronic device 500. In some embodiments, the user interface includes an indication 804a that the television program 802a is live (e.g., streaming or broadcast), an indication 804b of the name of the television program 802a, an option 806a to watch a caption option for playback of the television program 802a, an option 806b to watch an audio option for playback of the television program 802a, an option 806c to present the television program 802a in a picture-in-picture element, a slider bar 808a, an information tab 810a, a live tab 810b, a next tab 810c, and an indication 834 of how to access a channel guide user interface (e.g., by swiping down while the current focus 813a is on the content of one of the display tabs 810a-c).

[0318] In some embodiments, the electronic device 500 presents the content of the live tab 810b in the user interface, including representations 812a-d of content items that are currently streaming or being live broadcasted available for playback on the electronic device 500. In some embodiments, the representations 812a-d include playback progress bars 814a-d that indicate the portion of the content item that has been live streamed or live broadcasted, regardless of whether any portion of any content item has been played by the electronic device (e.g., by a user account associated with the electronic device). For example, as shown in FIG. 7B, the representations 812a-d include playback progress bars 814a-d that indicate that the content items have not been played by the electronic device. FIG. 8AAs shown, the current focus 813a is on the representation 812b that corresponds to the television program 802a that is currently playing. In some embodiments, while the current focus 813a is on the representation 812b, the electronic device 500 presents an indication 816b of the channel that is streaming or broadcasting the content item that is overlaid on the representation 812b and an indication 816a of the name of the content item proximate (e.g., below) the representation 812b. In some embodiments, if the electronic device 500 detects a horizontal swipe with respect to the input device 510b, the electronic device 500 will update the current focus to a different representation 812a, 812c, or 812d in accordance with the swipe, display the metadata associated with the representation 812a, 812c, or 812d, and cease displaying the metadata 816a and the metadata 816b. In some embodiments, the representations 812a-d are horizontally scrollable, and the electronic device 500 optionally reveals additional representations not shown in FIG. 8B in response to the scrolling.

FIG. 8C In some embodiments, the electronic device 500 initiates playback of the sound associated with the television program 802a in accordance with one or more steps of the method 700 described above.

[0321] FIG. 8C In response to the input shown in FIG. 8C, the electronic device 500 presents a channel guide user interface shown in FIG. 8D. FIG. 8BThe exemplary channel guide user interface presented in FIG. 8A includes indications 818a-e of various channels (or more generally, sources of live content) accessible to the electronic device and representations 820a-e of content items currently live streamed or broadcast on the channels. In some embodiments, the channel guide user interface is presented in response to a user input (e.g., a user input detected via input device 510b of FIG. 5A). In some embodiments, the channel guide user interface is presented in response to a user input detected via input device 510b of FIG. 5A. FIG. 8C The user interface presented in FIG. 8A does not include representations of content items that are not currently streamed or broadcast (e.g., content items that will be streamed or broadcast in the future). In some embodiments, indications 818a-e and representations are displayed as overlaid on a television program 802a being presented by the electronic device 500 in the background (e.g., with or without audio). Although FIG. 8B the channel guide user interface is presented in response to a user input detected via input device 510b of FIG. 5A, in some embodiments, the channel guide user interface is presented in response to a user input detected via input device 510b of FIG. 5A. FIG. 8C The indications 818a-e of the channels are shown as numerical indications, but in some embodiments, the electronic device presents images and / or names of the channels instead of numbers of the channels. In some embodiments, the channel guide user interface is initially scrolled to the channel (e.g., channel 7) on which the television program 802a is playing. In some embodiments, the representation 820c of the television program 802a is a user interface element that indicates that the electronic device 500 is currently playing the content associated with the representation 820c. In some embodiments, the representations 820a-b and 820d-e of the content items on the other channels are (e.g., static) images associated with the content items. In some embodiments, as FIG. 8C indicated, the electronic device 500 detects, via input device 510b, a downward swipe of contact 803c. In some embodiments, in response to detecting FIG. 8C the input in FIG. 8B, the electronic device 500 scrolls the indications 818a-e of the channels and the representations 820a-e of the content items on the channels, as indicated in FIG. 8C. In some embodiments, the indications 818a-e of the channels and the representations 820a-e of the content items on the channels are scrolled at different speeds (e.g., because the indications 818a-e and the representations 820a-e are different sizes, or because there are different numbers of indications 818a-e than representations 820a-e displayed at a given moment in time). FIG. 8D

[0322] FIG. 8D FIG. 8D illustrates how the electronic device 500 updates the channel guide user interface in response to the input shown in FIG. 8C. As FIG. 8C indicated, the electronic device 500 detects, via input device 510b, a downward swipe of contact 803d. In some embodiments, in response to detecting FIG. 8D ​As shown, in some embodiments, the electronic device 500 scrolls the indications 818b-f of the channels and the representations 820b-f of the content items on the channels such that the representation 820d of channel 8, represented by indication 818d, has the current focus. In some embodiments, while and after scrolling the indications 818b-f and the representations 820b-f, the electronic device 500 continues to playback the television program 802a. In some embodiments, the representation 820c of the television program 802a playing on the electronic device 500 is an indication that the television program 802a is currently playing. In some embodiments, the representation 820c of the television program 802a playing on the electronic device is an image associated with the television program 802a. In some embodiments, the representation 820d with the current focus is a live video preview (e.g., without audio) of the content item. In some embodiments, the electronic device 500 initially presents a static image in the representation 820d until the live video preview is buffered on the electronic device. In some embodiments, the representations 820b, 820e, and 820f include static images associated with the content items corresponding to each representation 820b, 820e, and 820f. In some embodiments, in response to detecting a selection of one of the representations 820a-e, the electronic device 500 stops displaying the channel guide user interface and presents the content corresponding to the selected representation.

[0323] FIG. 8E An example of a channel guide user interface is shown in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments, the user interface in FIG. 8B is displayed in response to the input shown in FIG. 8E In some embodiments, the user interface shown in FIG. 8E includes tabs 822a-g for genre filtering, indications 824a-d of channels (or more generally, sources of live content), and indications 826a-d of content items currently playing on the channels available to the electronic device 500. In some embodiments, in response to detecting a selection of one of the indications 826a-d, the electronic device 500 stops display of the channel guide user interface, initiates playback (e.g., with audio) of the content item corresponding to the selected indication. For example, in FIG. 8E , the sports tab 822c is currently selected, so the user interface includes representations 826a-d of sports content currently playing on channels accessible to the electronic device 500. In some embodiments, the representations 824a-d of the channels are scrolled vertically with the representations 826a-d of the content on the channels. In some embodiments, the sports tab 822c of the channel guide user interface does not include all of the channels available to the electronic device 500. In some embodiments, the sports tab 822c only includes channels that are currently playing sports content (e.g., and does not include channels that are not currently playing sports content).

[0324] For example, as shown in FIG. 8E FIG. 8I, the current focus 813e is on the representation 824c of channel C and a representation 826c of the content item currently playing on channel C. In some embodiments, the representation 826c includes an image 828a corresponding to the content item, a name 828b of the content item, an indication 828c of the portion and / or progress of the content item (e.g., the current game and / or current season in a sporting event) and league associated with the content item, and an indication 828d of the next sports-related content item playing on channel C. In some embodiments, the other representations 826a-b and representation 826d include associated images, names, and indications of portions and leagues. In some embodiments, only the representation 826c with the current focus 813e includes the indication 828d of the next sports-related content item on the channel. In some embodiments, the indication 828d includes an indication of the name of the content item and an indication of the time at which the content item will be available (e.g., via broadcast or streaming). In some embodiments, the content item corresponding to the indication 828d is not necessarily the next content item playing on the channel after the currently playing content item. For example, there can be one or more content items between the currently playing content item and the content item corresponding to the indication 828d that do not belong to the sports genre, and the representation 826c will not include indications of those content items. In some embodiments, the content item corresponding to the indication 828d is the next content item on the channel regardless of the genre of the content item (e.g., the genre can be other than sports, such as movies or news). As shown in FIG. 8E FIG. 8J, the electronic device 500 detects, via the input device 510a, an upward swipe of the contact 803e. In some embodiments, in response to FIG. 8E the input shown in FIG. 8J, the electronic device 500 updates the user interface, as shown in FIG. 8F FIG. 8K.

[0325] FIG. 8F FIG. 8K shows an example of a channel guide user interface updated in accordance with the input shown in FIG. 8E FIG. 8J. For example, as shown in FIG. 8FThe electronic device 500 is shown presenting a user interface with the current focus 813f on the representation 824b of channel B and on the representation 826b of the content item playing on channel B. In some embodiments, while the current focus 813f is on the representation 826b, the electronic device 500 updates the representation 826b to include an indication 828e of the upcoming content item on channel B. In some embodiments, the indication 828e is an indication of the next sports-related content item on channel B (e.g., even if there are other non-sports-related content items before the next sports-related content item). In some embodiments, the indication 828e is an indication of the next content item on channel B, even if that next content item is not in the sports genre.

[0326] FIG. 8G The electronic device 500 is shown presenting a movie tab of the channel guide user interface (e.g., in response to a selection of the tab 822e). In some embodiments, the movie tab of the channel guide user interface includes indications 824e-h of channels that are currently live streaming or broadcasting movies available for playback on the electronic device 500 and indications 826e-h of movies that are currently being live streamed or broadcast. In some embodiments, the user interface does not include indications of channels that are not currently playing movies. For example, the indication 826f is associated with a respective movie that is currently being live streamed or broadcast on channel F. In some embodiments, the indication 826f includes a thumbnail 828g associated with the respective movie, an indication 828h of the name of the respective movie, and an indication 828i of the current playback position of the respective movie being live streamed or broadcast (e.g., regardless of the consumption of the content item by the user or the electronic device). In some embodiments, the representations 826e, 826g, and 826h include similar elements to the elements 828g-i included in the representation 826f. In some embodiments, because the current focus 813g is on the representation 826f, the electronic device 500 displays the representation 826f with an indication 828f of the upcoming content item on channel F. In some embodiments, the upcoming content item is the next movie on channel F (e.g., even if there are non-movie content items to be broadcast or streamed before the next movie). In some embodiments, the upcoming content item is the next content item playing on channel F, even if it is not a movie.

[0327] In some embodiments, when displaying the genre filter page of the channel guide, such as in FIGS. 8E-8GIn some embodiments, electronic device 500 displays a representation of the content item that is currently playing, the representation having the same width regardless of the duration of the content item. In some embodiments, when displaying the "All" tab 822a of the channel guide, electronic device 500 presents representations of content items that are currently playing and upcoming content items from multiple genres, and the representations have widths that correspond to the durations of the content items with which they are associated.

[0328] FIG. 8H An example of electronic device 500 presenting the "All" tab 822a of the channel guide user interface (e.g., in response to a selection of tab 822a) is shown. In some embodiments, the user interface includes indications 824i-l of channels that are available for playback on electronic device 500. In some embodiments, the user interface also includes indications 826j-n of content items that are currently and will be broadcast or live streamed on the channels. In some embodiments, indications 826j-n correspond to content items of multiple genres, rather than all being from the same genre as in the case of the user interface shown in FIG. 8OOO. FIGS. 8E-8G In some embodiments, the widths of indications 826j-n correspond to the durations of the content items. For example, the width of representation 826m corresponds to a content item that is at least an hour long (e.g., because in some embodiments, the width of representation 826m is wider than the width of the region of the user interface in which representations 826j-n are displayed), and representation 826L corresponds to a content item that is at least half an hour long (e.g., because in some embodiments, the width of representation 826L is wider than the width of the region of the user interface in which representations 826j-n are displayed). In some embodiments, indications 826j-k and 826m-n of content items that are currently playing include representations of thumbnails corresponding to the content items of the indications, and indication 826L of a content item that is upcoming does not include a thumbnail. In some embodiments, in response to detecting a selection of one of indications 826j-n, electronic device 500 initiates playback of the content item that is currently playing on the channel of the content item corresponding to the selected indication 826j-n (e.g., and ceases display of the channel guide user interface).

[0329] In some embodiments, representations 826j-n are horizontally scrollable to reveal additional representations of content items that are to be played after the content items currently displayed in the user interface. In some embodiments, in response to a request to scroll representations 826j-n, electronic device 500 scrolls the representations by a distance corresponding to a predetermined time period, regardless of the duration of the content item corresponding to the representation 826j-n with current focus 813h (e.g., 15 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, etc.). For example, as shown in FIG. 8OOO, in response to a request to scroll representations 826j-n, electronic device 500 scrolls the representations by a distance corresponding to a predetermined time period (e.g., 15 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, etc.) to reveal additional representations of content items that are to be played after the content items currently displayed in the user interface. FIG. 8HAs shown, while the current focus 813h is directed to the representation 826m corresponding to at least an hour long content item (e.g., the first 30 minute portion of the representation) (e.g., the width of the representation 826m is the full width of the area in which the representations 826j-n are displayed), the electronic device 500 detects, via the input device 510a, a rightward swipe of the contact 803h corresponding to a request to scroll the representations 826j-n horizontally to the right. In some embodiments, in response to FIG. 8H the input shown in FIG. 8M, the electronic device 500 scrolls the representations 826j-n by a predetermined amount corresponding to a predetermined amount of time, as shown in FIG. 8I FIG. 8N.

[0330] FIG. 8I FIG. 8N shows an example of a channel guide user interface after the representations 826j-n are scrolled in response to the input shown in FIG. 8H FIG. 8M. In some embodiments, although the current focus 813h is directed to the representation 826m in FIG. 8H FIG. 8M when the input is received, the electronic device 500 still scrolls the representations 826j-q by the predetermined amount, even if that amount does not cause the electronic device 500 to display the next representation after the representation 826m (e.g., because the duration of the content item corresponding to the representation 826m is such that the representation extends beyond the predetermined amount by which the representations 826j-q are scrolled). As shown in FIG. 8I FIG. 8N, for example, scrolling the representations 826j-q in response to the input shown in FIG. 8H FIG. 8M reveals the representations 826p and 826q that were not visible in FIG. 8H FIG. 8M. Further, in FIG. 8I FIG. 8N, the second 30 minute portion of the representation 826m immediately after the first 30 minute portion currently has focus.

[0331] In some embodiments, as will be described with reference to FIGS. 8J-8L FIG. 8AA, the electronic device 500 presents a user interface for changing channels that includes indications of channels and previews of content on the channels. In FIG. 8J FIG. 8AA, for example, the electronic device 500 presents the television program 802a. In some embodiments, while presenting the television program 802a without presenting the playback control element described above with reference to FIGS. 8A-8B and method 700, the electronic device 500 detects, via the input device 510a, a downward swipe of the contact 803j. In some embodiments, in response to FIG. 8J the input shown in FIG. 8AA, the electronic device 500 presents FIGS. 8K-8L the channel changing user interface shown in FIG. 8AB.

[0332] FIG. 8K FIG. 8AB shows an example of a channel changing user interface displayed by the electronic device 500 in response to the input shown in FIG. 8J FIG. 8AA. As shown, the channel changing user interface includes a representation 826aa of the television program 802a.FIG. 8K As shown, in some embodiments, the channel change user interface includes indications 830a-e of channels accessible to the electronic device and representations 832a-c of content currently playing on the channels. In some embodiments, the indications 830a-e of the channels are as shown in FIG. FIG. 8K A digital indication of the channel being displayed. In some embodiments, indications 830a-e are textual indications of the channel names. In some embodiments, indications 830a-e are images and / or icons corresponding to the channels. In some embodiments, when the channel change user interface is initially displayed, representation 832b of the channel currently being viewed by the user has current focus 813k and includes (e.g., live) video content of that channel (e.g., with or without sound). In some embodiments, portions of representation 832a and representation 832c are portions of images corresponding to content on channels adjacent to the channel currently being played by the electronic device 500. For example, the electronic device 500 is currently playing content 832b from channel 7 and displays a portion of (e.g., a static) image 832a corresponding to content on channel 6 and a portion of (e.g., a static) image 832c corresponding to content on channel 8. In some embodiments, the electronic device 500 scales down the content currently being presented to fit within representation 832b, such that the other representations 832a and 832c and the indications 830a-e of the channels are displayed simultaneously with the content.

[0333] like FIG. 8K As shown, the electronic device 500 detects via the input device 510a a downward swipe of the contact 803k corresponding to a request to scroll the indications 830a-e of the channels and the representations 832a-c of the content on the channels. FIG. 8L The electronic device 500 updates the user interface as shown in FIG. 8L In some embodiments, the indications 830a-e and the representations 822a-c scroll at different speeds and / or by different distances in response to input (e.g., because they are different sizes).

[0334] FIG. 8K The electronic device 500 is shown in response to FIG. 8L 8. For example, the indications 830b-f of the channels and the representations 832b-d of the content on the channels scroll, and the input focus 813L responds to the input being updated. FIG. 9832c. In some embodiments, the electronic device 500 plays content corresponding to channel 8 (e.g., with or without audio) within representation 832c while displaying (e.g., statically) images 832b and 832d corresponding to channels 7 and 9, and updates the indication 830d of channel 8 to indicate that the electronic device 500 is currently playing content from channel 8. In some embodiments, in response to detecting selection of representation 832c (or a different representation 832), the electronic device 500 stops display of the channel change user interface and presents the content corresponding to representation 832c in full screen.

[0335] FIGS. 1A-1B 9 is a flow chart illustrating a method of presenting a user interface for browsing and switching between content items available for playback according to some embodiments. Method 900 is optionally performed on an electronic device (such as device 100, device 300, and device 500), as described above with reference to FIGS. 2-3 、 FIGS. 4A-4B 、 FIGS. 5A-5C and FIG. 8A Some operations in method 900 may be optionally combined, and / or the order of some operations may be optionally changed.

[0336] As described below, according to some embodiments, method 900 provides a method for an electronic device to present a user interface for browsing and switching between content items available for playback. This method reduces the cognitive burden on a user when interacting with the device user interface of the present disclosure, thereby creating a more efficient human-computer interface. For battery-powered electronic devices, improving the efficiency of user interaction with the user interface saves power and increases the time between battery charges.

[0337] In some embodiments, such as FIG. 8AIn some embodiments, method 900 is performed at an electronic device (e.g., 500) that is in communication with a display generation component (e.g., 504) and one or more input devices (e.g., 510b). In some embodiments, the electronic device is a mobile device (e.g., a tablet, a smartphone, a media player, or a wearable device), a computer (e.g., a desktop computer, a laptop computer), or a wearable device (e.g., a watch, a head-mounted device), optionally in communication with one or more of a mouse (e.g., external), a trackpad (optionally integrated or external), a remote control device (e.g., external), another mobile device (e.g., separate from the electronic device), a handheld device (e.g., external), and / or a controller (e.g., external, etc.), or a set-top box in communication with one or more input devices (e.g., a remote control). In some embodiments, the display generation component is a display (optionally a touch screen display) integrated with the electronic device, an external display such as a monitor, a projector, a television, or a hardware component (optionally integrated or external) for projecting or causing a user interface to be visible to one or more users, etc.

[0338] In some embodiments, such as in FIG. 8A In some embodiments, the live media includes content items that are presented at a predetermined time, such as broadcasted content items (e.g., over-the-air television, radio stations) and / or live streamed content items. In some embodiments, live media differs from on-demand media in that a user is able to initiate playback of on-demand media without being limited to a scheduled broadcast or live stream of the media, whereas playback of live media is limited to the predetermined broadcast or live stream time. In some embodiments, on-demand media can be rewound or fast-forwarded without limit, whereas there is a limit to how far a user can rewind or fast-forward live media to the current playback position. For example, live media can only be rewound a threshold amount of time (e.g., 10, 30, 45 seconds, etc., 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15 minutes, etc.).

[0339] In some embodiments, such as in FIG. 8AIn some embodiments, such as in Fig. 8A, the electronic device (e.g., 500) displays (e.g., 904), via the display generation component (e.g., 504), a playback control element (e.g., 808a) for the content (906) overlaid on the content (e.g., 802a) (e.g., obscuring one or more portions of the content) while presenting the content (e.g., 802a). In some embodiments, the playback control element is one or more of: a scrubber bar, a fast forward, a fast reverse, and / or a selectable option to play / pause the content item; an audio option to present the content item; a subtitle option to present the content item. The playback control element optionally has one or more of the characteristics of the playback control elements described with reference to method 700.
