[0026] The following description sets forth exemplary methods, parameters, etc. However, it should be appreciated that such description is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure, but is provided as a description of exemplary embodiments.

[0027] An electronic device needs to track the location of a remote locator object and generate notifications associated with the remote locator object. Such techniques can reduce the cognitive burden on users who use such devices and / or wish to control their use of such devices. In addition, such techniques can reduce processor power and battery power that would otherwise be wasted on redundant user input.

[0028] Although the following description uses the terms "first", "second", etc. to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by the terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another element. 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 embodiments. Both the first touch and the second touch are touches, but they are not the same touch.

[0029] The terms used in the description of various described embodiments herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to be limiting. As used in the description of various described embodiments and in the appended claims, the singular forms "one" and "the" are intended to also include plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will also be understood that the term "and / or" used herein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more items in the associated listed items. It will also be understood that the terms "include" and / or "comprising" are used in this specification to specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements and / or parts, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, parts and / or their grouping.

[0030] The term "if" is optionally interpreted to mean "when," "upon," or "in response to determining," or "in response to detecting," depending on the context. Similarly, the phrases "if it is determined that ..." or "if [a stated condition or event] is detected" are optionally interpreted to mean "upon determining that ..." or "in response to determining that ..." or "upon detecting [a stated condition or event]," or "in response to detecting [a stated condition or event]," depending on the context.

[0031] Embodiments of electronic devices, user interfaces for such devices, and associated processes for using such devices are described. In some embodiments, the device is a portable communication device, such as a mobile phone, that also includes other functions, such as a PDA and / or a music player function. Exemplary embodiments of portable multifunction devices include, but are not limited to, the Apple Watch from Apple Inc. (Cupertino, California). Devices, iPod Equipment and / or Device. Other portable electronic devices are optionally used, such as laptop computers or tablet computers with touch-sensitive surfaces (e.g., touch screen displays and / or touch pads). It should also be understood that in some embodiments, the device is not a portable communication device, but a desktop computer with a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touch screen displays and / or touch pads).

[0032] In the following discussion, an electronic device including a display and a touch-sensitive surface is described. However, it should be understood that the electronic device optionally includes one or more other physical user interface devices, such as a physical keyboard, mouse and / or joystick.

[0033] 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 editing application, a spreadsheet application, a gaming application, a telephony application, a video conferencing application, an email application, an instant messaging application, a fitness support application, a photo management application, a digital camera application, a digital video camera application, a web browsing application, a digital music player application, and / or a digital video player application.

[0034] Various applications executed on the device optionally use at least one common physical user interface device, such as a touch-sensitive surface. One or more functions of the touch-sensitive surface and corresponding information displayed on the device are optionally adjusted and / or varied for different applications, and / or adjusted and / or varied within the respective applications. In this way, the common physical architecture of the device (such as a touch-sensitive surface) optionally supports various applications with a user interface that is intuitive and clear to the user.

[0035] Attention is now turned to embodiments of portable devices having touch-sensitive displays. Figure 1A 1 is a block diagram illustrating a portable multifunction device 100 with a touch-sensitive display system 112 according to some embodiments. The touch-sensitive display 112 is sometimes referred to as a "touch screen" for convenience, and is sometimes referred to as or referred to as a "touch-sensitive display system." The device 100 includes a memory 102 (which optionally includes one or more computer-readable storage media), a memory controller 122, one or more processing units (CPUs) 120, a peripheral device interface 118, an RF circuit 108, an audio circuit 110, a speaker 111, a microphone 113, an input / output (I / O) subsystem 106, other input control devices 116, and an external port 124. The device 100 optionally includes one or more optical sensors 164. The device 100 optionally includes one or more contact force sensors 165 for detecting the intensity of contact on the device 100 (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface, such as the touch-sensitive display system 112 of the device 100). Device 100 optionally includes one or more tactile output generators 167 for generating tactile output on device 100 (e.g., generating tactile output on a touch-sensitive surface such as touch-sensitive display system 112 of device 100 or touch pad 355 of device 300). These components optionally communicate via one or more communication buses or signal lines 103.

[0036] As used in this specification and claims, the term "intensity" of a contact on a touch-sensitive surface refers to the force or pressure (force per unit area) of a contact (e.g., a finger contact) on the touch-sensitive surface, or to a surrogate (surrogate) of the force or pressure of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface. The intensity of a contact has a range of values ​​that includes at least four different values ​​and more typically includes hundreds of different values ​​(e.g., at least 256). The intensity of a contact is optionally determined (or measured) using various methods and various sensors or combinations of sensors. For example, one or more force sensors below or adjacent to the touch-sensitive surface are optionally used to measure the force at different points on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, force measurements from multiple force sensors are combined (e.g., weighted average) to determine an estimated contact force. Similarly, the pressure-sensitive tip of a stylus is optionally used to determine the pressure of the stylus on the touch-sensitive surface. Alternatively, the size of the contact area detected on the touch-sensitive surface and / or its change, the capacitance of the touch-sensitive surface near the contact and / or its change, and / or the resistance of the touch-sensitive surface near the contact and / or its change are optionally used as a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface. In some embodiments, the substitute measurement of the contact force or pressure is used directly to determine whether the intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is described in units corresponding to the substitute measurement). In some embodiments, the substitute measurement of the contact force or pressure is converted into an estimated force or pressure, and the estimated force or pressure is used to determine whether the intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is a pressure threshold measured in units of pressure). Using the intensity of the contact as an attribute of the user input allows the user to access additional device functions that would otherwise be inaccessible to the user on a smaller device with limited real estate, which is used to display an enable indication (e.g., on a touch-sensitive display) and / or receive user input (e.g., via a touch-sensitive display, touch-sensitive surface, or physical / mechanical controls, such as knobs or buttons).

[0037] As used in this specification and claims, the term "tactile output" refers to a physical displacement of a device relative to a previous position of the device, a physical displacement of a component of the device (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface) relative to another component of the device (e.g., a housing), or a displacement of a component relative to the center of mass of the device, which will be detected by a user using the user's sense of touch. For example, in the case where a device or a component of the device is in contact with a user's touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a finger, palm, or other part of the user's hand), the tactile output generated by the physical displacement will be interpreted by the user as a tactile sensation corresponding to a perceived change in a physical property of the device or a component of the device. For example, movement of a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch-sensitive display or a touchpad) is optionally interpreted by the user as a "press click" or "release click" to a physical actuation button. In some cases, the user will feel a tactile sensation, such as a "press click" or "release click", even when the physical actuation button associated with the touch-sensitive surface that is physically pressed (e.g., displaced) by the user's movement does not move. As another example, movement of a touch-sensitive surface may optionally be interpreted or sensed by a user as "roughness" of the touch-sensitive surface even when there is no change in the smoothness of the touch-sensitive surface. While such a user's interpretation of touch will be limited by the user's individualized sensory perceptions, many sensory perceptions of touch are common to most users. Thus, when a tactile output is described as corresponding to a particular sensory perception of a user (e.g., "press click," "release click," "roughness"), unless otherwise stated, the generated tactile output corresponds to a physical displacement of the device or a component thereof that would generate that sensory perception for a typical (or average) user.

[0038] It should be understood that device 100 is merely one example of a portable multifunction device, and that device 100 optionally has more or fewer components than shown, optionally combines two or more components, or optionally has a different configuration or arrangement of the components. Figure 1A The various components shown 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.

[0039] The memory 102 optionally includes high-speed random access memory, and optionally also includes non-volatile memory, such as one or more disk storage devices, flash memory devices or other non-volatile solid-state memory devices. The memory controller 122 optionally controls the access rights of other components of the device 100 to the memory 102.

[0040] The peripheral device interface 118 can be used to couple the input peripheral devices and output peripheral devices of the device to the CPU 120 and the 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 device interface 118, the CPU 120, and the 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.

[0041] RF (radio frequency) circuit 108 receives and sends RF signals, also referred to as electromagnetic signals. RF circuit 108 converts electrical signals into / converts electromagnetic signals into electrical signals, and communicates with communication networks and other communication devices via electromagnetic signals. RF circuit 108 optionally includes well-known circuits for performing these functions, including but not limited to antenna systems, RF transceivers, one or more amplifiers, tuners, one or more oscillators, digital signal processors, codec chipsets, user identity modules (SIM) cards, memories, and the like. RF circuit 108 optionally communicates with networks and other devices via wireless communications, such as the Internet (also referred to as the World Wide Web (WWW)), intranets, and / or wireless networks (such as cellular telephone networks, wireless local area networks (LANs), and / or metropolitan area networks (MANs)). RF circuit 108 optionally includes well-known circuits for detecting near field communications (NFC) fields, such as through short-range communication radio components. Wireless communication optionally uses any of a variety of communication standards, protocols and technologies, including, but not limited to, Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), Enhanced Data GSM Environment (EDGE), High Speed ​​Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), High Speed ​​Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA), Evolution, Data-Only (EV-DO), HSPA, HSPA+, Dual Cell HSPA (DC-HSPDA), Long Term Evolution (LTE), Near Field Communication (NFC), Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE), Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) (e.g., IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11d), IEEE 802.11e, IEEE 802.11f, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11g). 11n and / or IEEE 802.11ac), Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), Wi-MAX, email protocols (e.g., Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) and / or Post Office Protocol (POP)), instant messaging (e.g., Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP), Session Initiation Protocol for Instant Messaging and Presence Utilizing Extensions (SIMPLE), Instant Messaging and Presence Service (IMPS)) and / or Short Message Service (SMS), or any other suitable communication protocol including communication protocols that have not been developed as of the filing date of this document.

[0042] The audio circuit 110, speaker 111, and microphone 113 provide an audio interface between a user and the device 100. The audio circuit 110 receives audio data from the peripheral device interface 118, converts the audio data into electrical signals, and transmits the electrical signals to the speaker 111. The speaker 111 converts the electrical signals into sound waves audible to humans. The audio circuit 110 also receives electrical signals converted from sound waves by the microphone 113. The audio circuit 110 converts the electrical signals into audio data and transmits the audio data to the peripheral device interface 118 for processing. The audio data is optionally retrieved from and / or transmitted to the memory 102 and / or the RF circuit 108 by the peripheral device interface 118. In some embodiments, the audio circuit 110 also includes a headset jack (e.g., Figure 2 The headset jack provides an interface between the audio circuit 110 and a removable audio input / output peripheral device, such as an output-only headset or a headset having both output (e.g., a single or dual-ear headset) and input (e.g., a microphone).

[0043] The I / O subsystem 106 couples input / output peripherals on the device 100, such as a touch screen 112 and other input control devices 116, to a peripheral device interface 118. The I / O subsystem 106 optionally includes a display controller 156, an optical sensor controller 158, an intensity sensor controller 159, a tactile 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 other input control devices 116. The other input control devices 116 optionally include physical buttons (e.g., push buttons, rocker buttons, etc.), dials, slide switches, joysticks, click wheels, etc. In some alternative embodiments, the input controller 160 is optionally coupled to any of the following (or none of the following): a keyboard, an infrared port, a USB port, and a pointing device such as a mouse. One or more buttons (e.g., Figure 2 208) optionally includes an increase / decrease button for volume control of the speaker 111 and / or the microphone 113. The one or more buttons optionally include a push button (e.g., Figure 2 206).

[0044] A quick press of the push button optionally disengages the lock of the touch screen 112 or optionally begins the process of unlocking the device using gestures on the touch screen, as described in U.S. Patent Application 11 / 322,549, filed on December 23, 2005, entitled "Unlocking a Device by Performing Gestures on an Unlock Image" (i.e., U.S. Patent No. 7,657,849), which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. A long press of the push button (e.g., 206) optionally turns the device 100 on or off. The functions of one or more buttons are optionally user-customizable. The touch screen 112 is used to implement virtual buttons or soft buttons and one or more soft keyboards.

[0045] The touch-sensitive display 112 provides an input interface and an output interface between the device and the user. The display controller 156 receives electrical signals from the touch screen 112 and / or sends electrical signals to the touch screen. The touch screen 112 displays visual output to the user. The visual output optionally includes graphics, text, icons, videos, and any combination thereof (collectively referred to as "graphics"). In some embodiments, some or all of the visual output optionally corresponds to user interface objects.

[0046] The touch screen 112 has a touch-sensitive surface, sensor, or sensor group that accepts input from a user based on tactile and / or haptic contact. The touch screen 112 and display controller 156 (together with any associated modules and / or instruction sets in memory 102) detect contact (and any movement or interruption of the contact) on the touch screen 112 and convert the detected contact into interaction with a user interface object (e.g., one or more soft keys, icons, web pages, or images) displayed on the touch screen 112. In an exemplary embodiment, the point of contact between the touch screen 112 and the user corresponds to the user's finger.

[0047] The 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. The touch screen 112 and display controller 156 optionally use any of a variety of touch sensing technologies now known or later developed, including but not limited to capacitive, resistive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave technologies, as well as other proximity sensor arrays or other elements for determining one or more points of contact with the touch screen 112 to detect contact and any movement or interruption thereof. In an exemplary embodiment, projected mutual capacitance sensing technology is used, such as in the Apple ® from Apple Inc. (Cupertino, California). and iPod The technology used in.

[0048] 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 U.S. Patent Publication 2002 / 0015024A1, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. However, touch screen 112 displays visual output from device 100, while a touch-sensitive touchpad does not provide visual output.

[0049] The touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of the touch screen 112 is described in the following applications: (1) U.S. patent application No. 11 / 381,313, filed on May 2, 2006, "Multipoint Touch Surface Controller"; (2) U.S. patent application No. 10 / 840,862, filed on May 6, 2004, "Multipoint Touchscreen"; (3) U.S. patent application No. 10 / 903,964, filed on July 30, 2004, "Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices"; (4) U.S. patent application No. 11 / 48,264, filed on January 31, 2005, "Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices"; (5) U.S. patent application No. 11 / 38,590, filed on January 18, 2005, "Mode-Based Graphical User Interfaces For Touch Sensitive Input Devices”; (6) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 228,758, filed on September 16, 2005, “Virtual Input Device Placement On ATouch Screen User Interface”; (7) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 228,700, filed on September 16, 2005, “Operation Of A Computer With ATouch Screen Interface”; (8) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 228,737, filed on September 16, 2005, “Activating Virtual Keys Of A Touch-Screen Virtual Keyboard”; and (9) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 367,749, filed on March 3, 2006, “Multi-Functional Hand-Held Device”. All of these applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

[0050] The touch screen 112 optionally has a video resolution of more than 100 dpi. In some embodiments, the touch screen has a video resolution of about 160 dpi. The user optionally uses any suitable object or attachment such as a stylus, a finger, etc. to contact the touch screen 112. In some embodiments, the user interface is designed to work primarily through finger-based contacts and gestures, which may not be as accurate as stylus-based input due to the larger contact area of ​​the finger on the touch screen. In some embodiments, the device converts rough finger-based input into precise pointer / cursor positioning or commands for performing the actions desired by the user.

[0051] In some embodiments, in addition to the touch screen, the device 100 optionally includes a touchpad (not shown) for activating or deactivating specific functions. In some embodiments, the touchpad is a touch-sensitive area of ​​the device that, unlike the touch screen, does not display visual output. The touchpad is optionally a touch-sensitive surface that is separate from the touch screen 112 or is an extension of the touch-sensitive surface formed by the touch screen.

[0052] The device 100 also includes a power system 162 for powering the various components. The power system 162 optionally includes a power management system, one or more power sources (e.g., batteries, alternating current (AC)), a recharging system, a power fault 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 a portable device.

[0053] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more optical sensors 164 . Figure 1AAn optical sensor coupled to an optical sensor controller 158 in the I / O subsystem 106 is shown. The optical sensor 164 optionally includes a charge coupled device (CCD) or a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistor. The optical sensor 164 receives light projected through one or more lenses from the environment and converts the light into data representing an image. In conjunction with the imaging module 143 (also called a camera module), the optical sensor 164 optionally captures a static image or video. In some embodiments, the optical sensor is located on the rear of the device 100, opposite to the touch screen display 112 on the front of the device, so that the touch screen display can be used as a viewfinder for static images and / or video image acquisition. In some embodiments, the optical sensor is located on the front of the device so that when the user views other video conference participants on the touch screen display, the image of the user is optionally obtained for video conferencing. In some embodiments, the positioning of the optical sensor 164 can be changed by the user (e.g., by rotating the lens and sensor in the device housing) so that a single optical sensor 164 is used with the touch screen display for both video conferencing and static image and / or video image acquisition.

[0054] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165 . Figure 1A A contact force sensor is shown coupled to a force sensor controller 159 in the I / O subsystem 106. Contact force sensor 165 optionally includes one or more piezoresistive strain gauges, capacitive force sensors, electrical force sensors, piezoelectric force sensors, optical force sensors, capacitive touch-sensitive surfaces, or other force sensors (e.g., sensors for measuring the force (or pressure) of contact on a touch-sensitive surface). Contact force sensor 165 receives contact force information (e.g., pressure information or a surrogate for pressure information) from the environment. In some embodiments, at least one contact force sensor is juxtaposed or adjacent to a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touch-sensitive display system 112). In some embodiments, at least one contact force sensor is located on the back of device 100, opposite to touch screen display 112 located on the front of device 100.

[0055] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more proximity sensors 166 . Figure 1AA proximity sensor 166 is shown coupled to the peripherals interface 118. Alternatively, the proximity sensor 166 is optionally coupled to the input controller 160 in the I / O subsystem 106. The proximity sensor 166 is optionally implemented as described in the following U.S. patent application numbers: 11 / 241,839, entitled "Proximity Detector In Handheld Device"; 11 / 240,788, entitled "Proximity Detector In Handheld Device"; 11 / 620,702, entitled "Using Ambient Light Sensor To Augment Proximity Sensor Output"; 11 / 586,862, entitled "Automated Response To And Sensing Of User Activity In Portable Devices"; and 11 / 638,251, entitled "Methods And Systems For Automatic Configuration Of Peripherals", which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. In some embodiments, when the multifunction device is placed near the user's ear (e.g., when the user is on a phone call), the proximity sensor turns off and disables the touch screen 112.

[0056] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more tactile output generators 167 . Figure 1A A tactile output generator is shown coupled to a tactile feedback controller 161 in the I / O subsystem 106. The tactile output generator 167 optionally includes one or more electroacoustic devices such as a speaker or other audio component; and / or an electromechanical device for converting energy into linear motion such as a motor, solenoid, electroactive polymer, piezoelectric actuator, electrostatic actuator, or other tactile output generating component (e.g., a component for converting an electrical signal into a tactile output on the device). The contact force sensor 165 receives tactile feedback generation instructions from the tactile feedback module 133 and generates a tactile output on the device 100 that can be felt by a user of the device 100. In some embodiments, at least one tactile output generator is arranged in parallel or adjacent to a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch-sensitive display system 112) and optionally generates a tactile output by moving the touch-sensitive surface vertically (e.g., inward / outward of the surface of the device 100) or laterally (e.g., backward and forward in the same plane as the surface of the device 100). In some embodiments, at least one tactile output generator sensor is located on the back of the device 100, opposite the touch screen display 112 located on the front of the device 100.

[0057] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more accelerometers 168 . Figure 1A An accelerometer 168 coupled to the peripheral device interface 118 is shown. Alternatively, the accelerometer 168 is optionally coupled to the input controller 160 in the I / O subsystem 106. The accelerometer 168 is optionally implemented 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 in a portrait view or a landscape view on the touch screen display 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.

[0058] 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 ( Figure 1A ) or 370( Figure 3 ) storage device / global internal state 157, such as Figure 1A and Figure 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, including information obtained from the device's various sensors and input control devices 116; and position information related to the device's position and / or posture.

[0059] 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 facilitating communication between various hardware components and software components.

[0060] The communication module 128 facilitates communication with other devices through one or more external ports 124, and also includes various software components for processing data received by the RF circuit 108 and / or the external port 124. The external port 124 (e.g., Universal Serial Bus (USB), FireWire, etc.) is suitable for coupling directly to other devices, or indirectly through a network (e.g., the Internet, wireless LAN, etc.). In some embodiments, the external port is connected to (trademark of Apple Inc.) devices.

[0061] 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 contact detection, such as determining whether contact has occurred (e.g., detecting a finger press event), determining the contact strength (e.g., the force or pressure of the contact, or a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact), determining whether there is movement of the contact and tracking the movement on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., detecting one or more finger drag events), and determining whether the contact has stopped (e.g., detecting a finger lift event or contact disconnection). The contact / motion module 130 receives contact data from the touch-sensitive surface. Determining the movement of the contact point optionally includes determining the rate (magnitude), velocity (magnitude and direction), and / or acceleration (change in magnitude and / or direction) of the contact point, the movement of the contact point being represented by a series of contact data. These operations are optionally applied to a single point of contact (e.g., a single finger contact) or multiple points of simultaneous contact (e.g., "multi-touch" / multiple finger contacts). In some embodiments, the contact / motion module 130 and display controller 156 detect contact on the touch pad.

[0062] In some embodiments, the contact / motion module 130 uses a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an action has been performed by a user (e.g., to determine whether a user has "clicked" an icon). In some embodiments, at least a subset of the intensity thresholds are determined based on software parameters (e.g., the intensity thresholds are not determined by the activation thresholds of specific physical actuators and can be adjusted without changing the physical hardware of the device 100). For example, without changing the touchpad or touchscreen display hardware, the mouse "click" threshold of a touchpad or touchscreen can be set to any one of a large range of predefined thresholds. Additionally, in some specific implementations, a software setting is provided to the user of the device for adjusting one or more intensity thresholds in a set of intensity thresholds (e.g., by adjusting individual intensity thresholds and / or by utilizing a system-level click on an "intensity" parameter to adjust multiple intensity thresholds at once).

[0063] The contact / motion module 130 optionally detects gesture input by the user. Different gestures on the touch-sensitive surface have different contact patterns (e.g., different motions, timings, and / or intensities of the detected contacts). Therefore, gestures are optionally detected by detecting specific contact patterns. For example, detecting a finger tap gesture includes detecting a finger press event, and then detecting a finger lift (lift-off) event at the same location (or substantially the same location) as the finger press 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 press event, then detecting one or more finger drag events, and then detecting a finger lift (lift-off) event.

[0064] 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 attributes) of the displayed graphics. As used herein, the term "graphics" includes any object that can be displayed to a user, including but not limited to text, web pages, icons (such as user interface objects including soft keys), digital images, videos, animations, etc.

[0065] 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 one or more codes for specifying the graphics to be displayed from an application or the like, along with coordinate data and other graphics attribute data if necessary, and then generates screen image data to be output to the display controller 156.

[0066] Haptic feedback module 133 includes various software components for generating instructions used by tactile output generator 167 to produce tactile output at one or more locations on device 100 in response to user interaction with device 100 .

Additional description of online video applications can be found in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 936,562, filed on June 20, 2007, entitled “Portable Multifunction Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Playing Online Videos,” and U.S. Patent Application No. 11 / 968,067, filed on December 31, 2007, entitled “Portable Multifunction Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Playing Online Videos,” the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.

[0107] Each of the modules and applications described above corresponds to an executable instruction set for performing one or more of the functions described above and the methods described in this patent application (e.g., the computer-implemented methods and other information processing methods described herein). These modules (e.g., instruction sets) do not have to be implemented as independent software programs, processes, or modules, so various subsets of these modules are optionally combined or otherwise rearranged in various embodiments. For example, a video player module is optionally combined with a music player module into a single module (e.g., Figure 1A In some embodiments, the memory 102 optionally stores a subset of the above modules and data structures. In addition, the memory 102 optionally stores additional modules and data structures not described above.

[0108] In some embodiments, the device 100 is a device where the operation of a predefined set of functions on the device is performed exclusively through a touch screen and / or a touch pad. By using a touch screen and / or a touch pad as the primary input control device for operating the device 100, the number of physical input control devices (e.g., push buttons, dials, etc.) on the device 100 is optionally reduced.

[0109] A predefined set of functions that are performed exclusively through the touch screen and / or touchpad optionally includes navigation between user interfaces. In some embodiments, the touchpad, when touched by the user, navigates the device 100 to a main menu, a home menu, or a root menu from any user interface displayed on the device 100. In such embodiments, a "menu button" is implemented using the touchpad. In some other embodiments, the menu button is a physical push button or other physical input control device, rather than a touchpad.

[0110] Figure 1B is a block diagram illustrating exemplary components for event processing according to some embodiments. In some embodiments, memory 102 ( Figure 1A ) or memory 370( Figure 3 ) includes an event classifier 170 (e.g., in the operating system 126) and a corresponding application 136-1 (e.g., any one of the aforementioned applications 137 to 151, 155, 380 to 390).

[0111] Event classifier 170 receives event information and determines the application 136-1 and the application view 191 of application 136-1 to which the event information is to be delivered. Event classifier 170 includes event monitor 171 and event distributor module 174. In some embodiments, application 136-1 includes application internal state 192, which indicates one or more current application views displayed on touch-sensitive display 112 when the application is active or executing. In some embodiments, device / global internal state 157 is used by event classifier 170 to determine which application(s) is currently active, and application internal state 192 is used by event classifier 170 to determine the application view 191 to which the event information is to be delivered.

[0112] In some embodiments, the application internal state 192 includes additional information, such as one or more of the following: resumption information to be used when application 136-1 resumes execution, user interface state information indicating that information is being displayed or is ready to be displayed by application 136-1, a state queue for enabling a user to return to a previous state or view of application 136-1, and a repeat / undo queue of previous actions taken by the user.

[0113] 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 as part of a multi-touch gesture). 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 circuit 110). The information that peripherals interface 118 receives from I / O subsystem 106 includes information from touch-sensitive display 112 or a touch-sensitive surface.

[0114] In some embodiments, event monitor 171 sends requests to peripheral device interface 118 at predetermined intervals. In response, peripheral device interface 118 transmits event information. In other embodiments, peripheral device interface 118 transmits event information only when there is a significant event (e.g., receiving an input above a predetermined noise threshold and / or receiving an input for more than a predetermined duration).

[0115] In some embodiments, the event classifier 170 also includes a hit view determination module 172 and / or an active event identifier determination module 173.

[0116] When the touch-sensitive display 112 displays more than one view, the hit view determination module 172 provides software procedures for determining where within one or more views a sub-event has occurred. A view consists of controls and other elements that a user can see on the display.

[0117] Another aspect of the user interface associated with an application is a set of views, sometimes also referred to herein as application views or user interface windows, in which information is displayed and touch-based gestures occur. The application views (of the respective application) in which a touch is detected optionally correspond to a programmatic level within the programmatic or view hierarchy of the application. For example, the lowest level view in which a touch is detected is optionally referred to as a hit view, and the set of events that are identified as correct input is optionally determined at least in part based on the hit view of the initial touch that started the touch-based gesture.

[0118] Hit view determination module 172 receives information related to sub-events of touch-based gestures. When an application has multiple views organized in a hierarchy, hit view determination module 172 identifies the hit view as the lowest view in the hierarchy that should handle the sub-events. In most cases, the hit view is the lowest level view in which the initiating sub-event (e.g., the first sub-event in a sequence of sub-events that form an event or potential event) occurs. Once a hit view is identified by hit view determination module 172, the hit view typically receives all sub-events related to the same touch or input source for which it is identified as the hit view.

[0119] 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, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that only the hit view should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that all views that include the physical location of the sub-event are actively participating views, and therefore determines that all actively participating views should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, even if a touch sub-event is completely confined to an area associated with one particular view, higher views in the hierarchy will still remain as actively participating views.

[0120] Event distributor module 174 distributes event information to event recognizers (e.g., event recognizers 180). In embodiments including active event recognizer determination module 173, event distributor module 174 delivers the event information to the event recognizers determined by active event recognizer determination module 173. In some embodiments, event distributor module 174 stores the event information in an event queue, which is retrieved by corresponding event receivers 182.

[0121] In some embodiments, operating system 126 includes event classifier 170. Alternatively, application 136-1 includes event classifier 170. In yet another embodiment, event classifier 170 is a standalone module or is part of another module stored in memory 102, such as contact / motion module 130.

[0122] 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 occurring within a corresponding view of the user interface of the application. Each application view 191 of application 136-1 includes one or more event identifiers 180. Typically, the corresponding application view 191 includes multiple event identifiers 180. In other embodiments, one or more event identifiers in event identifier 180 are part of an independent module, which is a higher-level object such as a user interface toolkit (not shown) or application 136-1 from which methods and other properties are inherited. In some embodiments, the corresponding event handler 190 includes one or more of the following: data updater 176, object updater 177, GUI updater 178 and / or event data 179 received from event classifier 170. Event handler 190 optionally utilizes or calls data updater 176, object updater 177 or GUI updater 178 to update application internal state 192. Alternatively, one or more of the application views 191 include one or more corresponding event handlers 190. In addition, in some embodiments, one or more of the data updater 176, the object updater 177, and the GUI updater 178 are included in the corresponding application view 191.

[0123] The corresponding event identifier 180 receives event information (e.g., event data 179) from the event classifier 170 and identifies the event based on the event information. The event identifier 180 includes an event receiver 182 and an event comparator 184. In some embodiments, the event identifier 180 also includes metadata 183 and at least a subset of event delivery instructions 188 (which optionally includes sub-event delivery instructions).

[0124] Event receiver 182 receives event information from event classifier 170. Event information includes information about sub-events such as touch or touch movement. 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 the touch, the event information optionally also includes the speed and direction of the sub-event. In some embodiments, the event includes the device rotating from one orientation to another orientation (for example, from a longitudinal orientation to a transverse 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).

[0125] Event comparator 184 compares event information with predefined event or sub-event definitions, and determines an event or sub-event based on the comparison, or determines or updates the state of an event or sub-event. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 includes event definition 186. Event definition 186 includes the definition of an event (e.g., a predefined sequence of sub-events), such as event 1 (187-1), event 2 (187-2), and others. In some embodiments, sub-events in event (187) include, for example, touch start, touch end, touch move, touch cancel, and multi-touch. In one example, the definition of event 1 (187-1) is a double-click on a displayed object. For example, a double-click includes a first touch (touch start) of a predetermined duration on a displayed object, a first lift-off (touch end) of a predetermined duration, a second touch (touch start) of a predetermined duration on a displayed object, and a second lift-off (touch end) of a predetermined duration. In another example, the definition of event 2 (187-2) is a drag on a displayed object. For example, dragging includes a touch (or contact) of a predetermined duration on a displayed object, movement of the touch on the touch-sensitive display 112, and lifting of the touch (touch end). In some embodiments, the event also includes information for one or more associated event handlers 190.

[0126] In some embodiments, event definition 187 includes definitions of events for corresponding 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 displaying 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 corresponding event handler 190, the event comparator uses the result of the hit test to determine which event handler 190 should be activated. For example, event comparator 184 selects an event handler associated with a sub-event and the object that triggered the hit test.

[0127] In some embodiments, the definition of the corresponding event (187) also includes a delay action that delays the delivery of the event information until it has been determined that the sub-event sequence does or does not correspond to the event type of the event identifier.

[0128] When a corresponding event recognizer 180 determines that a sequence of sub-events does not match any event in event definition 186, the corresponding event recognizer 180 enters an 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.

[0129] In some embodiments, the 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 to 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.

[0130] In some embodiments, when one or more specific sub-events of an event are identified, the corresponding event recognizer 180 activates an 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 executes a predefined process.

[0131] In some embodiments, the event delivery instructions 188 include a sub-event delivery instruction that delivers event information about a sub-event without activating an event handler. Instead, the sub-event delivery instruction delivers the event information to an event handler associated with a sub-event sequence or to an actively participating view. The event handler associated with the sub-event sequence or with an actively participating view receives the event information and executes a predetermined process.

[0132] In some embodiments, data updater 176 creates and updates data used in application 136-1. For example, data updater 176 updates phone numbers used in contact module 137 or stores video files 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 new user interface objects or updates the positioning of user interface objects. GUI updater 178 updates the GUI. For example, GUI updater 178 prepares display information and sends the display information to graphics module 132 for display on a touch-sensitive display.

[0133] In some embodiments, event handler 190 includes or has access to data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178. In some embodiments, data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178 are included in a single module of the corresponding application 136-1 or application view 191. In other embodiments, they are included in two or more software modules.

[0134] It should be understood that the above discussion of event processing of user touches on a touch-sensitive display also applies to other forms of user input that utilize input devices to operate the multifunction device 100, and not all user input is initiated on the touch screen. For example, mouse movement and mouse button presses, optionally in conjunction with single or multiple keyboard presses or holddowns; contact movement on a touch pad, such as tapping, dragging, scrolling, etc.; stylus input; movement of the device; verbal commands; detected eye movement; biometric input; and / or any combination thereof are optionally used as input corresponding to sub-events that define the event to be distinguished.

[0135] Figure 2A portable multifunction device 100 with a touch screen 112 according to some embodiments is illustrated. The touch screen optionally displays one or more graphics within a user interface (UI) 200. In this embodiment and other embodiments described below, a user can select one or more of these graphics by, for example, making gestures on the graphics using 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, when the user interrupts contact with one or more graphics, selection of one or more graphics will occur. In some embodiments, gestures optionally include one or more taps, one or more swipes (from left to right, from right to left, up and / or down) and / or rolling of fingers that have been in contact with the device 100 (from right to left, from left to right, up and / or down). In some specific implementations or in some cases, inadvertent contact with a graphic will not select the graphic. For example, when the gesture corresponding to the selection is a tap, a swipe gesture that sweeps over an application icon optionally does not select the corresponding application.

[0136] The device 100 optionally also includes one or more physical buttons, such as a "home" or menu button 204. As previously described, the menu button 204 is optionally used to navigate to any application 136 in a set of applications that are optionally executed on the device 100. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the menu button is implemented as a soft key in a GUI displayed on the touch screen 112.

[0137] In some embodiments, the device 100 includes a touch screen 112, a menu button 204, a push button 206 for turning the device on / off and for locking the device, one or more volume adjustment buttons 208, a user identity module (SIM) card slot 210, an earphone jack 212, and a docking / charging external port 124. The push button 206 is optionally used to turn the device on / off by pressing the button and keeping the button in a pressed state for a predefined time interval; lock the device by pressing the button and releasing the button before the predefined time interval passes; and / or unlock the device or initiate an unlocking process. In an alternative embodiment, the device 100 also accepts voice input for activating or deactivating certain functions through a microphone 113. The device 100 also optionally includes one or more contact strength sensors 165 for detecting the strength of contact on the touch screen 112, and / or one or more tactile output generators 167 for generating tactile output for a user of the device 100.

[0138] Figure 3300 is a block diagram of an exemplary multifunction device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface according to some embodiments. Device 300 does not have to be portable. In some embodiments, device 300 is a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a tablet computer, a multimedia player device, a navigation device, an educational device (such as a children's learning toy), a game system, or a control device (e.g., a home controller or an industrial controller). Device 300 typically includes one or more processing units (CPUs) 310, one or more network or other communication interfaces 360, a memory 370, and one or more communication buses 320 for interconnecting these components. The communication bus 320 optionally includes circuits (sometimes referred to as a chipset) that interconnect system components and control communications between system components. Device 300 includes an input / output (I / O) interface 330 with a display 340, which is typically a touch screen display. The I / O interface 330 also optionally includes a keyboard and / or a mouse (or other pointing device) 350 and a touchpad 355, a tactile output generator 357 for generating tactile output on the device 300 (e.g., similar to the above reference Figure 1A The tactile output generator 167 described above), the sensor 359 (e.g., an optical sensor, an acceleration sensor, a proximity sensor, a touch sensitive sensor, and / or a contact intensity sensor (similar to the above reference Figure 1A Memory 370 optionally includes one or more storage devices located away from CPU 310. In some embodiments, memory 370 stores data related to portable multifunction device 100 ( Figure 1A ) or a subset thereof. In addition, memory 370 optionally stores additional programs, modules, and data structures not present in memory 102 of portable multifunction device 100. For example, 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 editing module 388, and / or a spreadsheet module 390, while portable multifunction device 100 ( Figure 1A )'s memory 102 optionally does not store these modules.

[0139] Figure 3Each element in the above-mentioned elements in is optionally stored in one or more memory devices of the previously mentioned memory device. Each module in the above-mentioned modules corresponds to the instruction set for performing the function described above. The above-mentioned modules or programs (e.g., instruction sets) do not have to be implemented as independent software programs, processes or modules, and therefore the various subsets of these modules are optionally combined or otherwise rearranged in various embodiments. In some embodiments, memory 370 optionally stores the subset of the above-mentioned modules and data structures. In addition, memory 370 optionally stores additional modules and data structures not described above.

[0140] Attention is now turned to an embodiment of a user interface that is optionally implemented on, for example, portable multifunction device 100.

[0141] Figure 4A An exemplary user interface of an application menu on portable multifunction device 100 according to some embodiments is illustrated. A similar user interface is optionally implemented on device 300. In some embodiments, user interface 400 includes the following elements, or a subset or superset thereof:

[0142] ● Signal strength indicators 402 for wireless communications such as cellular signals and Wi-Fi signals;

[0143] ●Time 404;

[0144] ●Bluetooth indicator 405;

[0145] ●Battery status indicator 406;

[0146] A tray 408 with icons for commonly used applications, such as:

[0147] o An icon 416 of the phone module 138 labeled "Phone," which optionally includes an indicator 414 of the number of missed calls or voicemails;

[0148] o an icon 418 of the email client module 140 labeled “Mail”, which optionally includes an indicator 410 of the number of unread emails;

[0149] o An icon 420 labeled "Browser" of the browser module 147; and

[0150] o An icon 422 labeled “iPod” of the video and music player module 152 (also referred to as the iPod (trademark of Apple Inc.) module 152); and

[0151] ● Icons for other apps, such as:

[0152] o Icon 424 labeled "Message" of IM module 141;

[0153] o An icon 426 labeled “Calendar” of the calendar module 148;

[0154] o Icon 428 labeled “Photos” of the image management module 144;

[0155] o An icon 430 labeled “Camera” of the camera module 143;

[0156] ○ Icon 432 labeled “Online Video” of the online video module 155;

[0157] ○ Icon 434 labeled “Stock Market” of the Stock Market Widget 149 - 2 ;

[0158] o An icon 436 labeled “Map” of the map module 154;

[0159] ○ Icon 438 labeled “Weather” of the weather widget 149-1;

[0160] ○ Icon 440 labeled as “Clock” of the alarm clock widget 149 - 4 ;

[0161] o An icon 442 labeled “Fitness Support” of the fitness support module 142;

[0162] o An icon 444 labeled "Notepad" of the Notepad module 153; and

[0163] o An icon 446 of a settings application or module labeled “Settings” that provides access to settings for the device 100 and its various applications 136 .

[0164] It should be noted that Figure 4A The illustrated icon labels are exemplary only. For example, the icon 422 of the video and music player module 152 is labeled "Music" or "Music Player". Other labels are optionally used for various application icons. In some embodiments, the label of the corresponding application icon includes the name of the application corresponding to the corresponding application icon. In some embodiments, the label of a particular application icon is different from the name of the application corresponding to the particular application icon.

[0165] Figure 4B The example embodiment has a touch-sensitive surface 451 (eg, touch screen display 112) that is separate from a display 450 (eg, touch screen display 112). Figure 3 A device (e.g., a tablet device or a touch pad 355) Figure 3Device 300 also optionally includes one or more contact intensity sensors (e.g., one or more 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 output for a user of device 300.

[0166] Although some of the examples below are given with reference to input on a touch screen display 112 (where a touch-sensitive surface and a display are combined), in some embodiments, the device detects input on a touch-sensitive surface that is separate from the display, such as Figure 4B In some embodiments, the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., Figure 4B 451) has a main axis (e.g., Figure 4B 453) corresponding to the principal axis (for example, Figure 4B According to these embodiments, the device detects a position corresponding to a corresponding position on the display (e.g., Figure 4B 460 corresponds to 468 and 462 corresponds to 470) in contact with touch-sensitive surface 451 (e.g., Figure 4B Thus, when the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., Figure 4B 451) and a display of a multi-function device (e.g., Figure 4B When the user input detected by the device on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., contacts 460 and 462 and their movement) is separated, the device is used to manipulate the user interface on the display. It should be understood that similar methods are optionally used for other user interfaces described herein.

[0167] Additionally, 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). As 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 contact, followed by ceasing to detect contact). Similarly, when multiple user inputs are detected simultaneously, it should be understood that multiple computer mice are optionally used simultaneously, or mice and finger contacts are optionally used simultaneously.

[0168] Figure 5AAn exemplary personal electronic device 500 is illustrated. Device 500 includes a body 502. In some embodiments, device 500 may include a body 502 relative to devices 100 and 300 (e.g., Figures 1A to 4B ) some or all of the features described in the foregoing. In some embodiments, device 500 has a touch-sensitive display screen 504, referred to hereinafter as touch screen 504. Alternatively, or in addition to touch screen 504, device 500 also has a display and a touch-sensitive surface. As with devices 100 and 300, in some embodiments, touch screen 504 (or touch-sensitive surface) optionally includes one or more intensity sensors for detecting the intensity of contact (e.g., touch) applied. One or more intensity sensors of touch screen 504 (or touch-sensitive surface) can provide output data representing the intensity of touch. The user interface of device 500 can respond to touch based on the intensity of the touch, which means that touches of different intensities can invoke different user interface operations on device 500.

[0169] Exemplary techniques for detecting and processing touch intensity are found, for example, in the following related applications: International patent application serial number PCT / US2013 / 040061, entitled “Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Displaying UserInterface Objects Corresponding to an Application,” filed on May 8, 2013, published as WIPO publication number WO / 2013 / 169849; and International patent application serial number PCT / US2013 / 069483, entitled “Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Transitioning Between TouchInput to Display Output Relationships,” filed on November 11, 2013, published as WIPO publication number WO / 2014 / 105276, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

[0170] In some embodiments, the device 500 has one or more input mechanisms 506 and 508. The input mechanisms 506 and 508 (if included) can be physical. Examples of physical input mechanisms include push buttons and rotatable mechanisms. In some embodiments, the device 500 has one or more attachment mechanisms. Such attachment mechanisms (if included) can allow the device 500 to be attached to, for example, hats, glasses, earrings, necklaces, shirts, jackets, bracelets, watchbands, bracelets, pants, belts, shoes, wallets, backpacks, etc. These attachment mechanisms allow the user to wear the device 500.

[0171] Figure 5B An exemplary personal electronic device 500 is depicted. In some embodiments, the device 500 may include a Figure 1A , Figure 1B and Figure 3 Some or all of the components described. Device 500 has a bus 512 that operatively couples an I / O portion 514 to one or more computer processors 516 and a memory 518. I / O portion 514 may be connected to a display 504, which may have a touch-sensitive component 522 and optionally an intensity sensor 524 (e.g., a contact intensity sensor). In addition, I / O portion 514 may be connected to a communication unit 530 for receiving application and operating system data using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, near field communication (NFC), cellular and / or other wireless communication technologies. Device 500 may include input mechanisms 506 and / or 508. For example, input mechanism 506 is optionally a rotatable input device or a depressible input device and a rotatable input device. In some examples, input mechanism 508 is optionally a button.

[0172] 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, orientation sensor 540 (e.g., compass), gyroscope 536, motion sensor 538, and / or combinations thereof, all of which are operably connected to I / O portion 514.

[0173] The memory 518 of the personal electronic device 500 may include one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media for storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more computer processors 516, may, for example, cause the computer processors to perform the techniques described below, including processes 700, 900, and 1100 (Figures 7, 9, and 11). A computer-readable storage medium may be any medium that can tangibly contain or store computer-executable instructions for use by or in conjunction with an instruction execution system, apparatus, and device. In some examples, the storage medium is a transient computer-readable storage medium. In some examples, the storage medium is a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. Non-transitory computer-readable storage media may include, but are not limited to, magnetic storage devices, optical storage devices, and / or semiconductor storage devices. Examples of such storage devices include magnetic disks, optical disks based on CD, DVD, or Blu-ray technology, and persistent solid-state memory such as flash memory, solid-state drives, and the like. The personal electronic device 500 is not limited to Figure 5B components and configurations, but may include other components or additional components in a variety of configurations.

[0174] In addition, in the method described herein where one or more steps depend on one or more conditions being met, it should be understood that the method can be repeated in multiple repetitions so that in the process of repetition, all conditions for determining the steps in the method have been met in different repetitions of the method. For example, if the method needs to perform the first step (if the condition is met), and perform the second step (if the condition is not met), then the ordinary technician will know that the steps stated are repeated until both the condition is met and the condition is not met (in no particular order). Therefore, the method described as having one or more steps depending on one or more conditions being met can be rewritten as a method of repeating until each condition described in the method is met. However, this does not require the system or computer-readable medium to declare that the system or computer-readable medium contains instructions for performing a contingent operation based on the satisfaction of the corresponding one or more conditions, and is therefore able to determine whether the possible situation has been met without explicitly repeating the steps of the method until all conditions for determining the steps in the method have been met. It will also be understood by ordinary technicians in the art that, similar to the method with the contingent step, the system or computer-readable storage medium can repeat the steps of the method as many times as needed to ensure that all the contingent steps have been performed.

[0175] As used herein, the term "indicative representation" refers to an optional feature of the apparatus 100, 300, and / or 500 ( Figure 1A , Figure 3 and FIG. 5A to FIG. 5B ) is a user-interactive graphical user interface object displayed on a display screen of a computer. For example, an image (e.g., an icon), a button, and text (e.g., a hyperlink) optionally each constitute an affordance.

[0176] As used herein, the term "focus selector" refers to an input element used to indicate the current portion of a user interface that a user is interacting with. 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., Figure 3 Touchpad 355 or Figure 4B In the event that an input (e.g., a press input) is detected on the touch-sensitive surface 451 in the display, the particular user interface element is adjusted according to the detected input. In the case that a touch-screen display (e.g., Figure 1A A touch-sensitive display system 112 or Figure 4A In some implementations of the touch screen 112 in FIG. 1 , a contact detected on the touch screen acts as a “focus selector” such that when an input (e.g., a press input by the contact) is detected at the location of a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider, or other user interface element) on the touch screen display, the particular user interface element is adjusted in accordance with the detected input. In some implementations, the focus moves from one area of ​​the user interface to another area of ​​the user interface without 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 the focus from one button to another); in these implementations, the focus selector moves in accordance with the movement of the focus between different areas of the user interface. Regardless of the specific form the focus selector takes, the focus selector is typically a user interface element (or contact on the touch screen display) that is controlled by the user to deliver the user's intended interaction with the user interface (e.g., by indicating to the device the element of the user interface with which the user desires to interact). For example, when a press input is detected on a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touchpad or touchscreen), the position of a focus selector (e.g., a cursor, contact, or selection box) over a corresponding button will indicate that the user intends to activate the corresponding button (rather than other user interface elements shown on the device display).

[0177] As used in the specification and claims, the term "characteristic intensity" of a contact refers to a characteristic of a 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 starts to move, before contact ends, before or after contact intensity is detected to increase, and / or before or after contact intensity is detected to decrease). 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 when 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.

[0178] Figure 5C Detecting multiple contacts 552A-552E on touch-sensitive display screen 504 using multiple intensity sensors 524A-524D is illustrated. Figure 5C Additionally included is an intensity graph that shows the current intensity measurements of intensity sensors 524A-524D relative to intensity units. In this example, the intensity measurements of intensity sensors 524A and 524D are each 9 intensity units, and the intensity measurements of intensity sensors 524B and 524C are each 7 intensity units. In some implementations, the cumulative intensity is the sum of the intensity measurements of multiple intensity sensors 524A-524D, which is 32 intensity units in this example. In some embodiments, each contact is assigned a corresponding intensity, which is a portion of the cumulative intensity. Figure 5DThe assignment of cumulative strengths to contacts 552A-552E based on their distances from the center of force 554 is illustrated. In this example, each of contacts 552A, 552B, and 552E is assigned a contact strength of 8 strength units of the cumulative strength, and each of contacts 552C and 552D is assigned a contact strength of 4 strength units of the cumulative strength. More generally, in some implementations, each contact j is assigned a corresponding strength Ij that is a portion of the cumulative strength A according to a predefined mathematical function Ij=A·(Dj / ΣDi), where Dj is the distance of the corresponding contact j from the center of force, and ΣDi is the sum of the distances of all corresponding contacts (e.g., i=1 to the last) from the center of force. The reference may be performed using an electronic device similar to or equivalent to device 100, 300, or 500. FIG. 5C to FIG. 5D In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity of the contact is based on one or more intensities of the contact. In some embodiments, the intensity sensor is used to determine a single characteristic intensity (e.g., a single characteristic intensity of a single contact). It should be noted that the intensity map is not part of the displayed user interface, but is included in the FIG. 5C to FIG. 5D To assist the readers.

[0179] In some embodiments, a portion of a gesture is identified for determining characteristic strength. For example, the touch-sensitive surface optionally receives a continuous swipe contact that transitions from a starting position and reaches an end position, where the contact strength increases. In this example, the characteristic strength of the contact at the end position is optionally based only on a portion of the continuous swipe contact, rather than the entire swipe contact (e.g., only the portion of the swipe contact at the end position). In some embodiments, a smoothing algorithm is optionally applied to the strength of the swipe contact before determining the characteristic strength of the contact. For example, a smoothing algorithm optionally includes one or more of the following: an unweighted sliding average smoothing algorithm, a triangular smoothing algorithm, a median filter smoothing algorithm, and / or an exponential smoothing algorithm. In some cases, these smoothing algorithms eliminate narrow peaks or depressions in the strength of the swipe contact to achieve the purpose of determining the characteristic strength.

[0180] The intensity of contact on the touch-sensitive surface is optionally characterized relative to one or more intensity thresholds such as a contact detection intensity threshold, a light press intensity threshold, a deep press intensity threshold, and / or one or more other intensity thresholds. In some embodiments, the light press intensity threshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device will perform an operation typically associated with clicking a button of a physical mouse or trackpad. In some embodiments, the deep press intensity threshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device will perform an operation different from the operation typically associated with clicking a button of a physical mouse or trackpad. In some embodiments, when a contact having a characteristic intensity lower than the light press intensity threshold (e.g., and higher than a nominal contact detection intensity threshold, contacts lower than the nominal contact detection intensity threshold are no longer detected) is detected, the device will move the focus selector according to the movement of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface without performing an operation associated with the light press intensity threshold or the deep press intensity threshold. Generally speaking, unless otherwise stated, these intensity thresholds are consistent between different groups of user interface illustrations.

[0181] An increase in contact feature intensity from an intensity below a light press intensity threshold to an intensity between the light press intensity threshold and the deep press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as a "light press" input. An increase in contact feature intensity from an intensity below a deep press intensity threshold to an intensity above the deep press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as a "deep press" input. An increase in contact feature intensity from an intensity below a contact detection intensity threshold to an intensity between the contact detection intensity threshold and the light press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as detecting contact on the touch surface. A decrease in contact feature intensity from an intensity above the contact detection intensity threshold to an intensity below the contact detection intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as detecting contact lifted from the touch surface. In some embodiments, the contact detection intensity threshold is zero. In some embodiments, the contact detection intensity threshold is greater than zero.

[0182] 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 that the strength of the contact (or multiple contacts) increases to above a press input strength threshold. In some embodiments, the corresponding operation is performed in response to detecting that the strength of the corresponding contact increases to above the press input strength threshold (e.g., a "down stroke" of the corresponding press input). In some embodiments, the press input includes an increase in the strength of the corresponding contact to above the press input strength threshold and a subsequent decrease in the strength of the contact to below the press input strength threshold, and the corresponding operation is performed in response to detecting that the strength of the corresponding contact subsequently decreases to below the press input threshold (e.g., an "up stroke" of the corresponding press input).

[0183] FIG. 5E to FIG. 5HDetection of a gesture is illustrated, the gesture comprising contact 562 with an intensity ranging from less than Figure 5E The light press intensity threshold in L ”) increases to a strength higher than Figure 5H The deep compression intensity threshold in D ”). On the displayed user interface 570 including application icons 572A-572D displayed in the predefined area 574, when the cursor 576 is displayed above the application icon 572B corresponding to application 2, a gesture performed using contact 562 is detected on the touch-sensitive surface 560. In some embodiments, the gesture is detected on the touch-sensitive display 504. The intensity sensor detects the intensity of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface 560. The device determines whether the intensity of the contact 562 is within the deep press intensity threshold (for example, “IT D ”) reaches a peak above. Contact 562 is maintained on touch-sensitive surface 560. In response to detecting the gesture, and according to the intensity increasing to a deep press intensity threshold (e.g., “IT D ”) above contact 562, displays scaled representations 578A-578C (e.g., thumbnails) of documents recently opened for application 2, such as FIG. 5F to FIG. 5H In some embodiments, the intensity is a characteristic intensity of the contact compared to one or more intensity thresholds. It should be noted that the intensity map for contact 562 is not part of the displayed user interface, but is included in the FIG. 5E to FIG. 5H To assist the readers.

[0184] In some embodiments, the display of representations 578A-578C includes animation. For example, representation 578A is initially displayed near application icon 572B, such as Fig. 5F As the animation progresses, representation 578A moves upward and representation 578B is displayed near application icon 572B, as shown. Figure 5G Then, representation 578A moves upward, 578B moves upward toward representation 578A, and representation 578C is displayed near application icon 572B, as shown in FIG. Figure 5H 578A-578C form an array above icon 572B. In some embodiments, the animation progresses according to the intensity of contact 562, such as Figure 5F to Figure 5G , where representations 578A-578C appear and increase as the strength of contact 562 approaches a deep press strength threshold (eg, “IT D ”) increases and moves upward. In some embodiments, the intensity according to which the animation progresses is the characteristic intensity of the contact. The reference may be performed using an electronic device similar to or equivalent to device 100, 300, or 500. FIG. 5E to FIG. 5H The operation described.

[0185] In some embodiments, the device employs intensity hysteresis to avoid unexpected inputs sometimes referred to as "jitter," where 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 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 hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to the press input intensity threshold, and a corresponding operation is performed in response to detecting that the intensity of the corresponding contact subsequently decreases to below the hysteresis intensity threshold (e.g., an "upward stroke" of the corresponding press input). Similarly, in some embodiments, a press input is detected only when the device detects that the contact intensity increases from an intensity equal to or below the hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity equal to or above the press input intensity threshold and, optionally, that the contact intensity subsequently decreases to an intensity equal to or below the hysteresis intensity, and a corresponding 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).

[0186] For ease of explanation, a description of an operation performed in response to a press input associated with a press input intensity threshold or in response to a gesture including a press input is optionally triggered in response to detecting any of the following: contact intensity increasing to above the press input intensity threshold, contact intensity increasing from an intensity below a hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity above the press input intensity threshold, contact intensity decreasing to below the press input intensity threshold, and / or contact intensity decreasing to below a hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to the press input intensity threshold. Additionally, in examples where an operation is described as being performed in response to detecting that the intensity of the contact decreases below the press input intensity threshold, the operation is optionally performed in response to detecting that the intensity of the contact decreases below a hysteresis intensity threshold that corresponds to and is less than the press input intensity threshold.

[0187] In some embodiments, the electronic device 500 includes one or more tactile output generators, wherein the one or more tactile output generators generate different types of tactile output sequences, as described in Table 1 below. In some embodiments, a specific type of tactile output sequence generated by one or more tactile output generators of the device corresponds to a specific tactile output mode. For example, the tactile output mode specifies the characteristics of the tactile output, such as the amplitude of the tactile output, the shape of the motion waveform of the tactile output, the frequency of the tactile output, and / or the duration of the tactile output. When a device (e.g., one or more tactile output generators that generate tactile output via a movable mass) generates a tactile output with different tactile output modes, the tactile output can produce different tactile sensations in a user holding or touching the device. Although the user's senses are based on the user's perception of the tactile output, most users will be able to recognize changes in the waveform, frequency, and amplitude of the tactile output generated by the device.

[0188] More specifically, FIG. 5I to FIG. 5K A set of sample tactile output patterns are provided that can be used, individually or in combination, as is or through one or more transformations (e.g., modulation, amplification, truncation, etc.) to form suitable tactile feedback in various scenarios and for various purposes (such as those described above and those described with respect to the user interfaces and methods discussed herein). This example of a control panel for tactile output shows how a set of three waveforms and eight frequencies can be used to generate an array of tactile output patterns. In addition to the tactile output patterns shown in these figures, each of these tactile output patterns is optionally adjusted in amplitude by changing the gain value of the tactile output pattern, as shown, for example, for Figure 5L to Figure 5N 80Hz, FullTap 200Hz, MiniTap80Hz, MiniTap 200Hz, MicroTap 80Hz, and MicroTap 200Hz, each of which is shown as a variant with a gain of 1.0, 0.75, 0.5, and 0.25. Figure 5L to Figure 5N As shown, changing the gain of a tactile output pattern changes the amplitude of the pattern without changing the frequency of the pattern or changing the shape of the waveform. In some embodiments, changing the frequency of the tactile output pattern also results in a lower amplitude because some tactile output generators are limited by how much force can be applied to the movable mass, so the higher frequency movement of the mass is constrained to a lower amplitude to ensure that the acceleration required to form the waveform does not require forces outside the operating force range of the tactile output generator (e.g., the peak amplitude of FullTap at 230 Hz, 270 Hz, and 300 Hz is lower than the amplitude of FullTap at 80 Hz, 100 Hz, 125 Hz, and 200 Hz).

[0189] FIG. 5I to FIG. 5NA tactile output pattern having a particular waveform is shown. The waveform of the tactile output pattern represents a pattern of physical displacements and time relative to a neutral position (e.g., Xzero) through which the movable mass passes to generate a tactile output having the tactile output pattern. For example, Fig.5I The first set of tactile output patterns shown (eg, the “FullTap” tactile output pattern) each have a waveform that includes oscillations having two complete cycles (eg, oscillations that start and end at a neutral position and pass through the neutral position three times). Figure 5J The second set of tactile output patterns shown (eg, “MiniTap” tactile output patterns) each have a waveform that includes oscillations having one complete cycle (eg, oscillations that begin and end at a neutral position and pass through the neutral position once). Figure 5K The third set of tactile output patterns shown (e.g., the "MicroTap" tactile output patterns) each have a waveform that includes an oscillation that includes half a complete cycle (e.g., an oscillation that starts and ends at a neutral position and does not pass through the neutral position). The waveforms of the tactile output patterns also include a start buffer and an end buffer that represent the gradual acceleration and deceleration of the movable mass at the beginning and end of the tactile output. FIG. 5I to FIG. 5N The example waveform shown includes Xmin and Xmax values ​​representing the maximum and minimum extents of movement of the movable mass. For larger electronic devices with larger movable masses, the minimum and maximum extents of movement of the mass may be larger or smaller. FIG. 5I to FIG. 5N The illustrated embodiments describe movement of a mass in one dimension, but similar principles may also be applied to movement of a movable mass in two or three dimensions.

[0190] like FIG. 5I to FIG. 5K As shown, each tactile output pattern also has a corresponding characteristic frequency, which affects the "pitch" of the tactile sensation felt by the user from the tactile output having the characteristic frequency. For continuous tactile output, the characteristic frequency represents the number of cycles (e.g., cycles per second) that the movable mass of the tactile output generator completes in a given time period. For discrete tactile output, a discrete output signal is generated (e.g., having 0.5, 1, or 2 cycles), and the characteristic frequency value specifies how fast the movable mass needs to move to generate a tactile output having the characteristic frequency. FIG. 5I to FIG. 5N As shown, for each type of tactile output (e.g., defined by a corresponding waveform, such as FullTap, MiniTap, or MicroTap), a higher frequency value corresponds to faster movement of the movable mass and, therefore, generally speaking, to a shorter tactile output completion time (e.g., including the time required to complete the number of cycles of the discrete tactile output plus the start and end buffer times). For example, a FullTap with a characteristic frequency of 80 Hz takes longer to complete (e.g., in 100 Hz) than a FullTap with a characteristic frequency of 100 Hz. Fig.5I, 35.4ms vs. 28.3ms). In addition, for a given frequency, a tactile output having more cycles in its waveform at the corresponding frequency takes longer to complete than a tactile output having fewer cycles in its waveform at the same corresponding frequency. For example, a FullTap at 150Hz takes longer to complete than a MiniTap at 150Hz (e.g., 19.4ms vs. 12.8ms), and a MiniTap at 150Hz takes longer to complete than a MicroTap at 150Hz (e.g., 12.8ms vs. 9.4ms). However, for tactile output modes with different frequencies, this rule may not apply (e.g., a tactile output with more cycles but a higher frequency may take a shorter amount of time to complete than a tactile output with fewer cycles but a lower frequency, and vice versa). For example, at 300Hz, FullTap takes the same amount of time as MiniTap (e.g., 9.9ms).

[0191] like FIG. 5I to FIG. 5K As shown, the tactile output pattern also has a characteristic amplitude, which affects the amount of energy contained in the tactile signal, or the "intensity" of the tactile sensation that the user can feel through the tactile output having the characteristic amplitude. In some embodiments, the characteristic amplitude of the tactile output pattern refers to the absolute value or normalized value representing the maximum displacement of the movable mass relative to the neutral position when generating the tactile output. In some embodiments, the characteristic amplitude of the tactile output pattern can be adjusted according to various conditions (e.g., customized based on user interface context and behavior) and / or preconfigured metrics (e.g., input-based metrics, and / or user interface-based metrics), such as by a fixed or dynamically determined gain factor (e.g., a value between 0 and 1). In some embodiments, an input-based metric (e.g., an intensity change metric or an input speed metric) measures the characteristics of the input during the input that triggers the generation of the tactile output (e.g., the rate of change of the characteristic intensity of the contact in the press input or the rate of movement of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface). In some embodiments, a user interface-based metric (e.g., a cross-border speed metric) measures a characteristic of a user interface element (e.g., the speed at which the element moves across a hidden or visible boundary in the user interface) during a user interface change that triggers the generation of a tactile output. In some embodiments, a characteristic amplitude of a tactile output pattern may be "envelope" modulated, and the peaks of adjacent cycles may have different amplitudes, wherein one of the waveforms shown above is further modified by multiplying an envelope parameter that changes over time (e.g., from 0 to 1) to gradually adjust the amplitude of a portion of the tactile output over time when the tactile output is generated.

[0192] Although for illustrative purposes FIG. 5I to FIG. 5KSpecific frequencies, amplitudes, and waveforms are shown in the sample tactile output patterns in , but tactile output patterns with other frequencies, amplitudes, and waveforms can also be used for similar purposes. For example, a waveform with between 0.5 and 4 cycles can be used. Other frequencies in the range of 60 Hz to 400 Hz can also be used. Table 1 below provides representative examples of tactile output / tactile feedback behaviors and configurations, as well as examples of their use relative to a user interface for managing content-based tactile output illustrated and described herein.

[0194] Table 1

[0195] As used herein, an "installed application" refers to a software application that has been downloaded to 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 using an installer that extracts program portions from a downloaded software package and integrates the extracted portions with the operating system of a computer system.

[0196] As used herein, the term "open application" or "executing application" refers to a software application that has retained state information (e.g., as part of device / global internal state 157 and / or application internal state 192). An open or executing application is optionally any of the following types of applications:

[0197] ● The active app currently displayed on the display of the device on which the app is being used;

[0198] ● Background applications (or background processes) that are not currently displayed but for which one or more processes are being processed by one or more processors; and

[0199] ●Not running but has data stored in memory (volatile and non-volatile respectively)

[0200] A suspended or dormant application that contains status information that can be used to resume execution of the application.

[0201] As used herein, the term "closed application" refers to a software application that does not have retained state information (e.g., the state information of a closed application is not stored in the memory of the device). Therefore, closing an application includes stopping and / or removing the application process of the application and removing the state information of the application from the memory of the device. Generally speaking, when in a first application, opening a second application does not close the first application. When the second application is displayed and the first application stops being displayed, the first application becomes a background application.

[0202] Attention is now turned to embodiments of a user interface ("UI") and associated processes implemented on an electronic device, such as portable multifunction device 100, device 300, or device 500.

[0203] User interface and associated processes

[0204] An invitation associated with visiting a location where an item can be found

[0205] Users interact with electronic devices in a variety of different ways. In some embodiments, electronic devices are capable of tracking the location of objects such as remote locator objects. In some embodiments, access to such remote locator objects can be shared by the owner of the remote locator object with one or more other users. The embodiments described below provide a way for electronic devices to transmit and / or receive invitations associated with accessing the location of findable items, thereby enhancing the interaction of users with electronic devices. Enhancing the interaction with the device reduces the amount of time required for the user to perform an operation, thereby reducing the power consumption of the device and extending the battery life of battery-powered devices. It should be understood that people use devices. When a person uses a device, this person is optionally referred to as a user of the device.

[0206] FIG. 6A to FIG. 6S The present invention illustrates exemplary ways in which an electronic device transmits and / or receives an invitation associated with accessing a location where an item can be found according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The embodiments in these figures are used to illustrate the processes described below, including reference to 7A to 7O The process described.

[0207] FIG. 6A to FIG. 6S An electronic device 500A associated with a first user, an electronic device 500B associated with a second user, and / or an electronic device 500C associated with a third user are illustrated, each of which includes a touch screen 504A, a touch screen 504B, and a touch screen 504C that display one or more aspects of sharing and / or receiving an invitation to track one or more findable items. Fig. 6A As shown, electronic device 500A represents "Mike's Phone", as named at the top of electronic device 500A. In addition, and as shown Fig. 6A As shown, electronic device 500A displays user interface 604 including application icon 605, application icon 610, application icon 615, application icon 620, application icon 625, application icon 630, application icon 635, application icon 640, application icon 645, application icon 650, and application icon 655. In some embodiments, user interface 604 is a home screen user interface of device 500A (e.g., as shown in FIG. 1 ). Figure 4A), and includes different application icons that can be selected to display different applications, as described above. Application icon 655 optionally corresponds to an item locating application that displays information about one or more findable items that the first user (e.g., Mike) can access its location.

[0208] from FIG. 6A to FIG. 6B , and if Fig. 6A As shown, the first user (e.g., Mike) selects application icon 655 (e.g., item locator application), such as via a tap on contact 603. The selection optionally includes a click, tap, slide, and / or hover input. In response, and as Figure 6B As shown, electronic device 500A has started the item location application and / or displayed the user interface of the item location application via display 504A. Figure 6B The user interface of the item locating application in includes a list of searchable items that a first user (e.g., Mike) can access at its location. Figure 6B , the list optionally includes: findable items owned and shared by a first user (e.g., Mike), such as "your keys" in representation 606-1, "your bike" in representation 606-2, and "your scooter" in representation 606-3; findable items owned and not shared by the first user (e.g., Mike), such as "backpack" in representation 606-4; and / or findable items that have been shared with the first user (e.g., Mike). The list is optionally displayed by device 500A in a grouped manner, such that findable items owned and shared by the first user (e.g., Mike) are grouped together in a first section named "My Shared Items", findable items owned and not shared by the first user (e.g., Mike) are grouped together in a second section named "Non-Shared Items", and findable items shared with the first user (e.g., Mike) are grouped together in a third section (e.g., in a section named "Items Shared with Me"). The findable items shared with the first user (eg, Mike) are optionally further grouped by the user who shared the findable items, as will be described in more detail later.

[0209] In some embodiments, upon determining that the first user (e.g., Mike) has received a request to share access to the location where the item can be found with another user, the user interface of the item locating application includes an indication of the request. Figure 6BAs shown, device 500A associated with a first user (e.g., Mike) has received a request from another device (e.g., associated with user Jack) to share the location of "your keys" (e.g., which are owned by Mike) with Jack, which causes device 500A to display an indication 606-5 (e.g., a notification) corresponding to the request. In some embodiments, the indication of the request is received when the other device (e.g., associated with user Jack) detects an indication of location tracking of a searchable item "your keys", as described similarly below with reference to method 900. In some embodiments, the indication of the request is received when the other device (e.g., associated with user Jack) detects user input for requesting access to the location of the searchable item "your keys", as described similarly below with reference to method 1100. In some embodiments, as Figure 6B As shown, on device 500A, indication 606-5 includes selectable options for responding to the request. Figure 6B , indication 606-5 at device 500A includes a first option "Yes" that can be selected to grant user Jack access to the location of the findable item "your keys" at the device associated with user Jack. Additionally, in some embodiments, indication 606-5 includes a second option "No" that can be selected to deny user Jack access to the location of the findable item "your keys".

[0210] In some embodiments, Figure 6B The user interface of the item locating application on the device 500A in FIG. 5 includes a list of users who can access the location where the item can be found. For example, and as Figure 6B In device 500A, representation 606-1 indicates that the searchable item "your keys" is shared with Jared, representation 606-2 indicates that the searchable item "your bike" is shared with Jared, representation 606-3 indicates that the searchable item "your scooter" is shared with Jodi, and representation 606-4 indicates that the searchable item "backpack" is not shared with any user (e.g., does not include an indication that it is shared with a user). In some embodiments, Figure 6B The user interface of device 500A in includes an indication of which user the searchable item is with, and / or one or more distance indications (0.5 km, 2 km, 4 km, 8 km, 16 km, 32 km, 64 km, or 88 km) indicating the distance of the item from electronic device 500A. The distance indication is optionally accompanied by a time indication indicating when the distance indication was last updated (e.g., now, 2 seconds ago, 1 minute ago, 1 hour ago, or 5 hours ago). For example, and as Figure 6BAs shown in the user interface of device 500A in , representation 606-1 indicates that the searchable item "your keys" are with you (e.g., Mike), the distance is .0006km, and the time when the distance indication was last updated is now. In some embodiments, when the corresponding searchable item is indicated as "with you" (e.g., within a threshold distance of device 500A such as 0.1 meters, 0.5 meters, 1 meter, 5 meters, 10 meters, or 100 meters), a given representation 606 does not include an indication of the distance of the searchable item. In addition, representation 606-2 indicates that the searchable item "your bicycle" is with you (e.g., Mike), the distance is .0006km, and the time when the distance indication was last updated is now. Additionally, representation 606-3 indicates that the searchable item "your scooter" is with Jodi, the distance is .015km, and the time when the distance indication was last updated is now. Finally, representation 660-4 indicates that the searchable item "backpack" is with you (eg, Mike) at a distance of .0006 km, and that the distance indication was last updated 3 minutes ago.

[0211] In some embodiments, Figure 6B The user interface of the item locating application of the device 500A in includes a representation of a map 622 of a physical area surrounding and / or including the location of the first user (e.g., Mike) and / or the device 500A. In some embodiments, the map 622 indicates the location of the first user (e.g., Mike) and / or the device 500A in the form of a black circle, the locations of searchable items (such as a representation of “your keys” (icon 1 606-5) located at a location on the map 622 corresponding to the location of “your keys”, a representation of “backpack” (icon 4 606-7) located at a location on the map 622 corresponding to the location of “backpack”, and the location of “your bike” (icon 3 606-6) located at a location on the map 622 corresponding to the location of “your bike”), and / or the locations of additional users who have shared their locations with the first user (e.g., Mike). As Figure 6B As shown, there are currently no additional users sharing their locations with Mike, and therefore no additional users are displayed on map 622. Figure 6B As further shown, and as noted above, representations 606-1, 606-2, 606-3, and 606-4 indicate corresponding icon numbers and / or corresponding searchable items (e.g., graphics of corresponding searchable items) such that a first user (e.g., Mike) can identify the searchable items on map 622. For example, and as Figure 6BAs shown in the user interface of the item locating application of the device 500A in FIG. 6 , icon 1 606-5, icon 2 606-6, and icon 4 606-7 are represented on the map 622. In some embodiments, and as Figure 6B As shown, the representations of searchable items on map 622 are bubbles and / or circles. However, these representations are optionally of any shape and / or size. In some embodiments, and as shown in FIG. Figure 6B As shown, representations of findable items are stacked on map 622 because the locations of the findable items are in close proximity.

[0212] In some embodiments, different users who can access the item locator application are presented with an item locator application user interface similar to the first user (e.g., Mike), which includes a list of searchable items at locations that the users can access, such as Figure 6B A second user (e.g., Alan) of the electronic device 500B in FIG. Figure 6B As shown, electronic device 500B displays the user interface of the item location application to the second user (eg, Alan). Figure 6B As shown in device 500B in FIG. 1 , the item locating application lists representations 634-1, 634-2, 634-3, and 634-4 representing searchable items “your keys”, “family car keys”, “backpack”, and “Erica’s keys”, respectively. Figure 6B As further shown, "your keys" and "family car keys" are shared by Alan, "backpack" is not shared by Alan with any user, and "Erica's keys" are shared with Alan and by Erica.

[0213] Additionally, and as Figure 6B As shown in the user interface of the item locating application of the electronic device 500B, representation 634-1 indicates that the searchable item "your keys" is shared with Erica, is with Erica, is 32 km away, and the distance indication was last updated at now. Representation 634-2 indicates that the searchable item "family car keys" is shared with Erica, is with Erica, is 32 km away, and the distance indication was last updated 3 minutes ago. Representation 634-3 indicates that the searchable item "backpack" is with you, is .0006 km away, and the distance indication was last updated 3 minutes ago. Representation 634-4 indicates that the searchable item "Erica's keys" is shared with three other users (e.g., including Alan), is with Erica, is 32 km away, and the distance indication was last updated 3 minutes ago. In addition, and as Figure 6BAs shown in the user interface of the item locating application of the electronic device 500B, the map 623 indicates a location indication of the second user (e.g., Alan) in the form of a black circle, and a representation of the “backpack” (icon 3 634-6) located at a position on the map 623 corresponding to the position of the “backpack”.

[0214] from FIG. 6B to FIG. 6C , and if Figure 6B As shown, device 500A detects selection of representation 606-1 corresponding to "your keys", such as via a tap on contact 603. The selection is optionally a click, tap, slide, and / or hover input. In some embodiments, and in response to device 500A detecting Figure 6B In response to a selection of a findable item by a first user (e.g., Mike), the item locating application presents a second user interface (e.g., a findable item detail page) associated with the selected findable item and the first user (e.g., Mike). Figure 6C As shown in the second user interface of the item locating application of device 500A, the second user interface optionally includes information about the first findable item and one or more selectable options for initiating an action specific to the first findable item (e.g., "your keys"). For example, and as Figure 6C As shown in the second user interface of the electronic device 500A in , the second user interface of the item locating application of the first user (e.g., Mike) includes: a selectable option 660 that can be selected to initiate the process of finding a findable item (e.g., "your keys"); a selectable option 662 for playing a sound from the findable item (e.g., "your keys"); a selectable option 664 for configuring notifications related to the findable item, the selectable options including a selectable option 664-1 for enabling an option to notify the first user when the findable item is found and a selectable option 664-2 for enabling an option to notify the first user when the findable item is dropped.

[0215] Additionally, the second user interface of the item locating application of the first user (e.g., Mike) of device 500A includes a selectable option 668 indicating the name and / or identity of the user with whom the findable item (e.g., “your keys”) is shared. Figure 6C As shown in the second user interface of device 500A in FIG. 1 , selectable option 668 indicates that the findable item (e.g., “your keys”) is shared with Jared. In addition, selectable option 668 includes selectable option 668-1, via which the first user can add users and / or transmit additional invitations to the additional users to access the location of the findable item. In addition, and as shown in FIG. Figure 6CAs shown in the second user interface of device 500A in FIG. 7 , the second user interface includes a portion 670 of a label indicating a lost mode in which the item can be found, which lost mode will be described in more detail with reference to method 700 . Figure 6C It is further indicated that the second user interface includes a selectable option 672 to enable lost mode, a selectable option 674 to rename the findable item, and a selectable option 673 to remove the findable item from the item locating application of device 500A. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the second user interface of the owner of the findable item is different from the corresponding user interface of the user with whom the findable item is shared, which is described below, such as with reference to Figure 6K Discuss in more detail.

[0216] from FIG. 6C to FIG. 6D , and if Figure 6C As shown, electronic device 500A detects that a first user (e.g., Mike) selects selectable option 668-1, such as via a tap on contact 603, to add a person (e.g., invite a user) to receive an invitation to access the location of a first searchable item (e.g., "Mike's keys"). In some embodiments, in response, a list of users is displayed by device 500A based on and / or corresponding to the first user's contacts. In alternative embodiments, device 500A displays the users one at a time based on and / or corresponding to the first user's contacts. However, it should be noted that there are various ways for device 500A to display users. For example, and as Fig.6D As shown in the second user interface of device 500A, electronic device 500A displays an indication of user “Alan” in selectable option 668-1, and device 500A detects that the first user (e.g., Mike) selects selectable option 668-1, such as via a tap on contact 603.

[0217] from FIG. 6D to FIG. 6E , and if Fig.6D As shown, device 500A detects that a first user (e.g., Mike) selects selectable option 668-1, such as via a tap on contact 603, to initiate a process of sending Alan access to the location of a first findable item (e.g., "Mike's keys"). In response, the item locating application of the first user (e.g., Mike) transmits (directly or indirectly) an invitation to device 500B of a second user (e.g., Alan). For example, and as Fig. 6E As shown, device 500B updates the user interface of the item location application to include a representation 634-7 of an invitation from Mike to share "Mike's key". In some embodiments, when the invitation is received in the item location application, device 500B shifts the list of searchable items downward in the user interface, possibly out of the display range of device 500B, such as Fig. 6E shown.

[0218] In some embodiments, and as Fig. 6E As shown in the user interface of the item locating application of device 500B, the invitation in representation 634-7 includes: a first selectable option that can be selected by the second user (e.g., Alan) to initiate the process of accepting the invitation to access the location of the first findable item (e.g., "Mike's keys"), and a second selectable option that can be selected to initiate the process of ignoring the invitation to access the location of the first findable item (e.g., "Mike's keys"). In some embodiments, representation 634-7 includes an image of the first findable item, a text description of the first findable item, and / or an indication of the user sending the invitation (e.g., including the user's name).

[0219] from FIG. 6E to FIG. 6F , device 500B detects that the second user (e.g., Alan) accepts the invitation from the first user (e.g., Mike), such as via a tap on contact 603, and transmits the acceptance (directly or indirectly) to device 500A. In response, and as Fig. 6F As shown in the user interface of the item locating application of device 500B in FIG. 6 , the second user (e.g., Alan) is now able to access the first searchable item (e.g., “Mike’s keys”), as shown in representation 634-5. Fig. 6F As shown, the information accompanying the searchable item (e.g., "Mike's keys") is optionally updated to reflect that "Mike's keys" is shared with Jared and you (Alan, the second user). Fig. 6F As shown in the user interface of the item locator application of device 500B, representation 634-5 indicates that "Mike's keys" are shared with Jared and you (eg, Alan, the second user). In addition, and as Fig. 6F As shown in the user interface of the item locating application of device 500A in FIG. 6 , device 500A updates representation 606-1 to indicate that “your keys” (eg, “Mike’s keys”) are shared with Jared and Alan. Fig. 6F As further shown in the user interface of the item location application of device 500B, map 623 now indicates the location of "Mike's keys" (icon 4 634-7) and the location of the first user (e.g., Mike 634-8) who shared his location with the second user (e.g., Alan).

[0220] from FIG. 6F to FIG. 6G, device 500A detects that the first user (e.g., Mike) selects representation 606-1, such as via a tap on contact 603, to return to the item detail page for “Mike’s keys”. In some embodiments, and as Figure 6G As shown in the second user interface of the item locating application of device 500A, the second user interface of the first user (e.g., Mike) is updated to reflect the current status of the first searchable item (e.g., "Mike's keys"). Figure 6G As shown in a second user interface of the item locator application of device 500A, representation 668 indicates that “Mike’s keys” are now shared with Jared and Alan.

[0221] from FIG. 6G to FIG. 6H , and if Figure 6G As shown, device 500A detects that a first user (e.g., Mike) selects selectable option 668-1, such as via a tap on contact 603, to add a person (e.g., invite a user) to receive an invitation to have access to the location of a first searchable item (e.g., "Mike's keys"). In response, Figure 6H As shown, the device 500A is in accordance with the reference Figure 6C The available users are displayed in a list similar to the one discussed.

[0222] from FIG. 6H to FIG. 6I , and if Figure 6H As shown, device 500A detects that a first user (e.g., Mike) selects selectable option 668-1, such as via a tap on contact 603, to add Jason to receive an invitation to have access to the location of a first searchable item (e.g., “Mike’s keys”). In some embodiments, as Fig.6I As shown, in response to detecting Figure 6H Upon selection of selectable option 668-1 in the search result list, electronic device 500A displays confirmation user interface 641 to confirm sharing of access to the location of the first searchable item (e.g., "Mike's keys") with Jason. Fig.6I As shown, confirmation user interface 641 indicates that sharing access to the location of the first findable item with Jason will allow Jason to see the location of the first findable item represented by representation 642 (e.g., “Mike’s keys”), as similarly discussed above, and / or tracking notifications for the first findable item will be muted (e.g., for the duration that “Mike’s keys” are shared with Jason), such as the tracking notifications described below with reference to method 900. In some embodiments, as Fig.6IAs shown, the confirmation user interface 641 includes: a first option 643-1 selectable to confirm sharing access to the location of the first findable item with Jason; and a second option 643-2 selectable to give up sharing access to the location of the first findable item with Jason.

[0223] exist Fig.6I , electronic device 500A detects selection of first option 643-1 in pointing confirmation user interface 641, such as via a tap on contact 603. In response, device 500A transmits (directly or indirectly) an invitation to Jason's device, as previously described. In some embodiments, if an invitation to access the location of a first searchable item (e.g., "Mike's keys") is sent to an additional user (e.g., Jason), the user sharing the first searchable item (e.g., "Mike's keys") will receive a notification indicating that the new user (e.g., Jared) has been invited to access the location of the first searchable item.

[0224] For example, and if Figure 6J As shown in the electronic device 500B, the notification 623 is displayed in the item location application of the second user (eg, Alan). Figure 6K As shown, notification 632 is displayed on the lock screen of electronic device 500B of the second user (e.g., Alan). Notifications 623 and / or 632 optionally include the name of the newly invited user and / or whether the new user has accepted the invitation to access the location of the first findable item. Notifications 623 and 632 optionally additionally indicate the related findable items, the names of the users who shared the findable items with the new user, and / or distance / time indications.

[0225] from Figures 6K to 6L , and if Figure 6K As shown in the electronic device 500B, the second user (e.g., Alan) selects the notification 632, such as by clicking the contact 603, so that the device 500B displays a second user interface of the first searchable item (e.g., "Mike's keys"), such as Figure 6L In some embodiments, selection of notification 632 alternatively causes device 500B to display a first user interface of the item locating application. As noted above, the second user interface of the user with whom the findable item is shared is optionally different from the corresponding second user interface of the user who owns the findable item. For example, and as Figure 6L As shown in the second user interface of the item locating application of the device 500B, the second user interface of the first user (e.g., Mike) who owns “Mike’s key” is different from the second user (e.g., Alan) with whom he shares “Mike’s key”. Figure 6LAs shown, the second user interface of the second user's device 500B includes a selectable option 680 to initiate the process of finding the findable item. The second user's second user interface also includes a selectable option 682 to play a sound from the findable item. In addition, the second user's second user interface includes a selectable option 684 indicating a list of users with whom the findable item is shared, but does not include a selectable option to add a user for additional sharing. It should also be noted that, as Figure 6L As shown in the second user interface of the item locating application of device 500B, the second user interface of the second user (e.g., Alan) does not include a notification option related to the findable item (e.g., Figure 6L ), because the user with whom the first findable item (e.g., "Mike's keys") is shared optionally does not receive such notifications for the findable item.

[0226] Additionally, in some embodiments, a second user interface of a first user (e.g., Mike) who owns "Mike's keys" differs from a second user interface of a second user (e.g., Alan) with whom "Mike's keys" is shared in enabling lost mode for findable items. Figure 6L As shown, the second user interface for the second user includes a portion 686 corresponding to a lost mode for the findable item, a selectable option 688 to rename the findable item (e.g., in the second user's item locating application and / or in the item locating applications of multiple or all users who have access to the findable item), and a selectable option 690 to remove the findable item, but does not include a selectable option to enable lost mode (e.g., similar to selectable option 672 of the second user interface for the first user at electronic device 500A). Alternatively, in some embodiments, the second user interface for the second user (e.g., Alan) does include a selectable option to enable lost mode for the findable item (e.g., "Mike's keys"). For example, as Figure 6M As shown in the second user interface of device 500B, the second user interface of the second user includes a selectable option 686 corresponding to the lost mode of the findable item, a selectable option 688 to enable lost mode, a selectable option 690 to rename the findable item (e.g., in the second user's item locating application and / or in the item locating applications of multiple or all users who have access to the findable item), and a selectable option 692 to remove the findable item. Figure 6L Device 500A in FIG. 5 is displaying a second user interface of a searchable item from the owner's (eg, Mike) device, details of which were previously referenced in Figure 6C Give a description.

[0227] from Figures 6L to 6M, device 500A responds to detecting that the first user (e.g., Mike) has selected selectable option 672 (e.g., Figure 6L In some embodiments, enabling lost mode for a findable item (e.g., as shown in a second user interface of device 500A). In some embodiments, enabling lost mode for a first findable item (e.g., “Mike’s keys”) causes the first findable item (e.g., “Mike’s keys”) to display lost mode information on one or more electronic devices in proximity to the first findable item, such as one or more of information indicating that the first findable item has been lost, information indicating the name of the owner of the first findable item, information indicating a telephone number of the owner of the first findable item, and / or information indicating an email address (and / or other contact information) of the owner of the first findable item (e.g., “Mike’s keys”), such as described in more detail with reference to method 700. In some embodiments, and when lost mode is enabled, a second user interface for users with access to the findable items will include a visual indication indicating which user initiated lost mode. The visual indication optionally includes an indication of how long ago lost mode was initiated (e.g., now, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 5 hours, or 1 day ago). For example, and as Figure 6M As shown in the second user interface of device 500A, the second user interface of the first user (e.g., Mike) includes a visual indication in option 672 that you enabled lost mode 1 minute ago. Figure 6M As shown in the second user interface of device 500B, the second user interface of the second user (e.g., Alan) includes a visual indication in option 688 that Mike enabled lost mode 1 minute ago.

[0228] In some embodiments, the owner of a first findable item (e.g., the first user and / or Mike of "Mike's keys") is able to revoke access to the location of the first findable item (e.g., "Mike's keys") from a second user (or other shared users, such as Alan, Jason, and / or Jared). In some embodiments, this revocation of access to the selected user occurs while maintaining access to one or more other users with whom the location of the first findable item has been shared. Alternatively, the owner of the first findable item (e.g., Mike) is able to revoke access to all users with whom the location of the first findable item (e.g., "Mike's keys") has been shared. For example, and as Figure 6N As shown in the second user interface of device 500A, the second user interface of the first user (e.g., Mike) includes a selectable option 694 to stop sharing the first searchable item (e.g., "Mike's keys") with everyone.

[0229] from FIG. 6N to FIG. 6O , device 500A detects that the first user (e.g., Mike) has selected selectable option 694, such as via a tap on contact 603. In response, and as Fig.6O As shown in the user interfaces of devices 500B and 500C of the present invention, the findable item (e.g., "Mike's keys") is no longer presented in the item location application and / or on the map of both the second user (e.g., Alan) and the third user (e.g., Jared), respectively. In an embodiment, when a first user (e.g., Mike) stops sharing a first findable item (e.g., "Mike's keys") with one or more users, the one or more users receive a notification that the first user (e.g., Mike) has removed them from the findable item (e.g., "Mike's keys"), such as notifications 692 and 698 displayed by devices 500B and 500C, respectively. Notifications 692 and 698 optionally include who removed access, when the access was removed, the location of the findable item that the one or more users can still access, and / or the users who can still access the location.

[0230] Alternatively, and as previously noted, the user with whom the item was shared is able to remove the findable item from their item locating application. It should be noted that this action optionally removes the findable item only from the user's item locating application, and the findable item and corresponding location / information optionally remain accessible to one or more (or optionally all) other users with whom the item was shared and / or the owner of the first findable item. For example, from Figure 6P to Figure 6Q , and if Figure 6P As shown in a second user interface of device 500B, device 500B detects that a second user (e.g., Alan) selects selectable option 692, such as via a tap on contact 603, to remove the first searchable item (e.g., “Mike's keys”) from the second user's (e.g., Alan) item locating application.

[0231] In response, Figure 6Q 2 illustrates the states of both the item locating applications of the second user (e.g., Alan) and the third user (e.g., Jared) after the second user (e.g., Alan) removes a findable item (e.g., "Mike's keys"). Figure 6Q As shown in the user interface of device 500C, the first searchable item (e.g., "Mike's keys") remains shown in the user interface as representation 694-4. However, and as Figure 6Q As shown in the user interface of device 500B, the first searchable item (e.g., "Mike's keys") is no longer displayed in the item locating application of the second user (Alan). Figure 6QAs shown in the user interface of device 500C, representation 694-4 indicates that the first searchable item (e.g., “Mike's keys”) is shared with Jason and you (Jared), but is no longer shared with Alan.

[0232] In some embodiments, multiple invitations are transmitted by users of additional electronic devices to enable a given user to gain access to multiple locations where items can be found. These invitations are optionally displayed within the item locating application of the second user. For example, and as Figure 6R As shown, the second user (e.g., Alan) receives an invitation from Alex to share "Alex's key" and an invitation from Cara to share "Cara's key." In response, the two invitations are displayed by device 500B as representations 634-7 and 634-8, respectively, along with user-selectable options to accept or reject the corresponding invitations.

[0233] As mentioned above Figures 6L to 6M As mentioned, the first user (e.g., Mike) has enabled lost mode for the first findable item (e.g., "Mike's keys") at electronic device 500A. Figure 6S As indicated by indication 606-1 at electronic device 500A and indication 634-5 at electronic device 500B in FIG. 1 , the current location of the first findable item (e.g., “Mike’s keys”) is unknown (e.g., “no location found”). In some embodiments, when lost mode is enabled for the first findable item (e.g., “Mike’s keys”), only the owner of the first findable item (e.g., Mike) receives an alert of a status corresponding to the location of the first findable item. For example, Figure 6S As shown, electronic device 500A receives an indication that "Mike's keys" have been located and / or recovered by another user, and displays notification 693 alerting the first user (e.g., Mike) that their keys have been found. Figure 6S As shown, the indication is transmitted only to the electronic device 500A of the owner of “Mike’s keys” (e.g., Mike), and thus optionally not to the electronic device 500B, even if the second user (e.g., Alan) has access to the location of “Mike’s keys”. Thus, in some embodiments, the electronic device 500B does not display a notification alerting the second user that “Mike’s keys” has been found, such as Figure 6S shown.

[0234] 7A to 7O is an example based on FIG. 6A to FIG. 6QFlowchart of method 700 of transmitting and / or receiving an invitation associated with visiting a location where an item can be found in some embodiments of the present invention. Method 700 is optionally performed on an electronic device (such as device 100, device 300, device 500), as described above with reference to Figure 1A to Figure 1B , Figures 2 to 3 , FIG. 4A to FIG. 4B and FIG. 5A to FIG. 5H Some operations in method 700 are optionally combined, and / or the order of some operations is optionally changed.

[0235] In some embodiments, method 700 is performed at a first electronic device (e.g., 500B) that communicates with a second electronic device (e.g., 500A), a display generation component, and one or more input devices. For example, a mobile device (e.g., a tablet device, a smart phone, a media player, or a wearable device) includes a wireless communication circuit that optionally communicates with one or more of a mouse (e.g., external), a trackpad (optionally integrated or external), a touchpad (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). 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 a user interface or making a user interface visible to one or more users.

[0236] In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 500B) receives (702a) an invitation associated with accessing the location of a first searchable item (e.g., "Mike's keys"), such as a request corresponding to Fig. 6EInvitation 634-7 is shown (e.g., the invitation is optionally transmitted by a second user of the second electronic device to enable the first user of the first electronic device to gain access to the location of a first findable item (e.g., a physical item that the second user has ownership of). In some embodiments, the location is a physical location of the findable item within a physical environment. In some embodiments, the first findable item (e.g., "Mike's keys") is not associated with a first user (e.g., Alan) of the first electronic device (e.g., 500B) and is associated with a second user (e.g., Mike) of the second electronic device (e.g., 500A) that is different from the first user (e.g., Mike). For example, the first findable item is associated with a user account of the second user and is not associated with a user account of the first user. In some embodiments, a second user (optionally from the second electronic device) is able to track the location of the first findable item, and the second electronic device displays the location of the first findable item on a map. In some embodiments, the first findable item is a physical item that can be attached to an object. In some embodiments, the first searchable item is configured to transmit the location data of the first searchable item to the electronic device (e.g., wirelessly, such as via Bluetooth, RF, IR, NFC and / or Wi-Fi). In some embodiments, the first searchable item is associated with a name or tag that can be identified on an electronic device (e.g., an electronic device of a user associated with (e.g., owning) the first searchable item and / or a second electronic device). In some embodiments, the first searchable item is a device having a built-in remote locator object functionality in addition to the location tracking functionality, such as headphones, bicycles, watches and / or tablet devices.

[0237] In some embodiments, after receiving the invitation, the electronic device (eg, 500B) displays (702b) a first selectable option (eg, Fig. 6E ), the first selectable option selectable to initiate the process of accepting an invitation associated with accessing the location of a first findable item (e.g., "Mike's keys"), such as Fig. 6E In some embodiments, and after and / or in response to receiving the invitation, the display generation component displays the first selectable option to the first user, such as within a user interface element (e.g., within a lock screen user interface, a wake screen user interface, or a user interface such as a reference screen). Figure 4A In some embodiments, the first selectable option is selectable by the first user to initiate the process of accepting an invitation to gain access to the location of the first findable item. In some embodiments, the invitation includes an indication of the first findable item (e.g., the name of the item and / or an image or graphical representation of the item) and one or more user-selectable buttons to accept or ignore the notification. In some embodiments, the indication can be an image of the first findable item, a text description of the first findable item, or both.

[0238] In some embodiments, before displaying a first selectable option (e.g., Fig. 6E , the electronic device (eg, 500B) receives (702c) a first input (eg, Fig. 6E In some embodiments, the first input includes, for example, a click, a depression, a press, a swipe, etc. detected via a touch-sensitive surface, a stylus, a keyboard, or a mouse.

[0239] In some embodiments, after receiving the first input, the electronic device displays (702d) a user interface of the item locating application via a display generating component, such as a Fig. 6F In some embodiments, the user interface displayed by the device 500B in the display generation component is displayed after receiving the first input and / or in response to receiving the first input. In some embodiments, the item location application is an application that displays one or more representations of one or more searchable items and / or users and an indication of the location of one or more searchable items and / or users. In some embodiments, the user opens the item location application to view one or more items that the user owns or has been given access to by invitation, such as searchable items. In some embodiments, the user selects one or more of the items to locate, and in response, the item location application optionally displays an indication of the location of the selected one or more items to the user (e.g., on a map).

[0240] In some embodiments, based on determining a first input (e.g., Fig. 6E 603 in the example of FIG. 1 ) corresponding to the selection of the first selectable option, the user interface includes ( 702d ) a representation (e.g., 634-5 ) of the first searchable item (e.g., “Mike’s keys”) indicating the location of the first searchable item, such as by Fig. 6FIn some embodiments, if the first input includes a selection of the first selectable option, the location of the first searchable item is optionally trackable via the item location application, and the user interface of the item location application optionally includes a representation of the first searchable item and an indication of the location of the first searchable item. The location is optionally indicated on a virtual map, on a list, in an alternative user interface, etc. For example, the location of the first searchable item is optionally indicated by a representation of the first searchable item (e.g., an image of the first searchable item or a cartoon representation of the first searchable item), which is displayed on the map at a location corresponding to the location of the first searchable item. In some embodiments, the location of the first searchable item is optionally indicated by a representation of the first searchable item in the searchable item list, and the first searchable item is shown next to the text description of the location of the searchable item and / or the distance of the searchable item from the first electronic device. In some embodiments, the list view displays a single item or multiple items. Inviting the first user to gain access to the location of the first findable item within the item locating application allows the first user to effectively track the location of the first findable item even if the first findable item is associated with a second user.

[0241] In some embodiments, after receiving the first input, the electronic device (eg, 500B) displays (704a) a user interface (eg, Fig. 6F 606 on device 500B in.

[0242] In some embodiments, based on determining the first input and the selection of the second selectable option (e.g., Fig. 6E ), the user interface does not include a representation of the first searchable item indicating the location of the first searchable item, wherein the second selectable option is selectable to decline the invitation associated with accessing the location of the first searchable item (704b). For example, if the first user (e.g., Alan) selects the second selectable option (e.g., Fig. 6E ), the representation of the first searchable item (e.g., "Mike's keys") will not be presented in Fig. 6F In some embodiments, if the first input includes a selection of the second selectable option, the first searchable item is not added to the item location application, and the location of the first searchable item is not trackable via the item location application. Denying access to the location of the first searchable item within the item location application allows the first user to have control over which searchable items the first user gains access to, and improves the privacy of the first user.

[0243] In some embodiments, the user interface of the item locating application includes (706a) a representation of a first searchable item (e.g., "Mike's keys") indicating the location of the first searchable item (706b), such as Fig. 6F In some embodiments, the user interface of the item locating application includes a list of findable items whose location the first user can access, including the first findable item.

[0244] In some embodiments, the user interface (e.g., 606) also includes (706c) a representation of a second findable item (e.g., “your keys”) associated with the first user and indicating a location of the second findable item, wherein a third user (e.g., Erica) different from the first user is able to access the location of the second findable item (e.g., “your keys”) based on an invitation associated with accessing the location of the second findable item (e.g., “your keys”) transmitted by the first user (e.g., Alan) to the third user (e.g., Erica), such as Fig. 6F As shown in device 500B in. In some embodiments, the user interface of the item locating application includes a representation of a second searchable item (associated with the first user and / or owned by the first user) and an indication of the location of the second searchable item. In some embodiments, the location is indicated in the user interface as previously discussed. In some embodiments, the second searchable item is shared by the first user and a third user, so that the third user can access the location of the second searchable item. However, the second searchable item is optionally not an item owned by different users and shared with the first user. If other items are shared with the first user, the user interface optionally also includes representations of those other items. Displaying items shared by users in the same user interface as the items shared by the user reduces the number of inputs required for the first user to view the location of all items that the user can access.

[0245] In some embodiments, the user interface of the item locating application includes (708a) a representation of a first searchable item (e.g., "Mike's keys") indicating the location of the first searchable item (708b), such as Fig. 6F In some embodiments, and as noted above, the user interface of the item locating application includes a list of findable items whose locations the first user can access, including the first findable item. In some embodiments, the user interface (e.g., 606) also includes a representation of a second findable item (e.g., "backpack") associated with the first user and indicating the location of the second findable item (e.g., "backpack"), where another user cannot access the location of the second findable item (708c), such as Fig. 6FIn some embodiments, the user interface of the article location application includes a representation of a second searchable article (associated with the first user and / or owned by the first user) and an indication of the position of the second searchable article. In some embodiments, the position is indicated in the user interface as previously discussed. In some embodiments, the second searchable article is not shared by the first user with any other user. If the first user is associated with other articles not shared with other users, the user interface optionally also includes the representation of those other articles. Displaying the articles shared by the user in the same user interface as the articles owned by the user and not shared with other users reduces the number of inputs required for the position of all articles that the user can access.

[0246] In some embodiments, a representation of a first searchable item (e.g., "Mike's keys") indicating the location of the first searchable item is displayed in a first area of ​​the user interface, such as in Fig. 6F In the “Shared with Me” portion of the user interface of device 500B in FIG. 1 , a representation of a second searchable item (e.g., “backpack”) indicating the location of the second searchable item is displayed in a second area of ​​the user interface that is different from (e.g., and visually distinct from) the first area (710a), such as in FIG. Fig. 6F . In some embodiments, the user interface of the item locating application displays representations of searchable items that the user can access (e.g., via invitations from other users) together in a grouped manner in a first area of ​​the user interface. For example, representations of searchable items that have been shared with the user (and their corresponding locations) are optionally displayed in the first area of ​​the user interface, while representations of searchable items owned and / or shared by the user (and their corresponding locations) are optionally displayed in a different second area of ​​the user interface. Additionally, representations of searchable items owned by the user and not yet shared with anyone (and their corresponding locations) are optionally displayed in different third areas of the user interface. Displaying searchable items shared with the user in an area of ​​the user interface that is different from the searchable items owned and / or shared by the first user reduces the number of inputs required for the user to view different types of items within the user interface, and also clearly communicates the shared and / or shared status of a given item in the user interface.

[0247] In some embodiments, the user interface of the item locating application also includes (712a) a representation of a third searchable item (e.g., "your keys") indicating the location of the third searchable item, wherein the representation of the third searchable item is displayed in a third area of ​​the user interface that is different from (e.g., and visually distinguishable from) the first area and the second area, such as in Fig. 6FIn a “My Shared Items” portion of a user interface of device 500B in FIG. 5 , and wherein a third user (e.g., Erica) different from the first user (e.g., Alan) and the second user (e.g., Mike) is able to access the location of a third searchable item (e.g., “your keys”), such as Fig. 6F As shown in the user interface of device 500B in (712b). In some embodiments, the user interface of the item locating application displays a representation of a searchable item (and its corresponding location) owned by a third user in a third area of ​​the user interface. For example, if the first user has access to a first searchable item associated with a second user and a third searchable item associated with a third user, the first searchable item and the third searchable item are optionally displayed in separate areas. In addition, and as noted above, a searchable item (or optionally, any searchable item) owned by the first user is optionally displayed in an area separate from the first searchable item and the third searchable item. Displaying searchable items shared with the first user and owned by different users in different sections reduces the number of inputs required for the user to easily view the owner of the corresponding searchable item.

[0248] In some embodiments, the representation of the first findable item indicating the location of the first findable item further indicates one or more users (752) other than the first user and the second user who are able to access the location of the first findable item, such as Figure 6B 634-4 in the indication of multiple users who can access the location of the searchable item "Erica's key". For example, the representation of the first searchable item includes information identifying one or more users and / or characteristics of one or more users. In some embodiments, the information includes the name of one or more users (e.g., "shared with John") and / or the number of one or more users who can access the location of the third searchable item (e.g., "shared with 3 other people"). In some embodiments, because the second searchable item is not shared with another user (e.g., other users cannot access the location of the second searchable item), the first electronic device abandons displaying the representation of the second searchable item and the information indicating the one or more users who can access the location of the second searchable item. Displaying the searchable items shared with the first user and the information indicating other users who can also access the location of the searchable items promotes the discovery of who can access the location of the searchable items and / or reduces the number of inputs required for the user to easily view who can access the location of the searchable items, thereby improving user-device interaction and user privacy.

[0249] In some embodiments, the first electronic device receives (754a) an invitation associated with accessing the location of a third findable item that is different from the first findable item and the second findable item (e.g., the invitation is optionally transmitted by a third user of the third electronic device to enable the first user of the first electronic device to obtain access to the location of the third findable item (e.g., a physical item to which the third user has ownership), as similarly described above with reference to step 702. In some embodiments, the location is a physical location of the third findable item within a physical environment), such as Fig. 6E An invitation from "Mike" to share a findable item "Mike's Keys" is shown, where a third findable item is not associated with the first user of the first electronic device and is associated with a third user of a third electronic device that is different from the first user.

[0250] In some embodiments, after receiving the invitation (and optionally before receiving input at the first electronic device in response to the invitation and while the invitation remains incomplete), the first electronic device displays (754b) in the user interface of the item locating application via the display generating component an indication of the invitation associated with accessing the location of the third searchable item (e.g., as shown in FIG. 1 ). Fig. 6E 634-7), wherein the indication of the invitation is associated with a representation of the first searchable item and a representation of the second searchable item such as Fig. 6E Indications 634-1 and 634-4 in are displayed simultaneously. For example, after receiving the invitation and / or in response to receiving the invitation, the first electronic device displays a user interface element (e.g., a lock screen user interface, a wake screen user interface, or in a manner such as a reference Figure 4AIn some embodiments, after receiving the invitation, the first electronic device receives an input corresponding to a request to display the user interface of the item location application as described in reference step 702 above. For example, the first electronic device detects a selection input pointing to the user interface element (e.g., notification) discussed above (e.g., having one or more characteristics of the input described above with reference to step 702). In some embodiments, an indication of the invitation is displayed in the user interface of the item location application simultaneously with a representation of the first searchable item and a representation of the second searchable item. For example, an indication of the invitation is displayed at a prioritized location in the first area discussed above with reference to step 710 (e.g., at the top thereof), such as at the top of a list of searchable items that have been shared with the first user (e.g., searchable items to which the user has been granted access to the location information of the searchable items). In some embodiments, the invitation includes an indication of a third searchable item (e.g., the name of the item and / or an image or graphical representation of the item) and one or more user-selectable buttons to accept or refuse to share the location of the third searchable item with the first user. In some embodiments, the indication of the third findable item is an image of the third findable item, a textual description of the third findable item, or both.Displaying an invitation to access the location of the findable item in a user interface of an item locating application that includes representations of findable items shared with and / or owned by the first user facilitates discovery that the first user has pending invitations and / or reduces the amount of input required for the user to easily view and / or interact with pending invitations, thereby improving user-device interaction.

[0251] In some embodiments, the indication of the invitation associated with accessing the location of the third findable item includes (756a) a first option (e.g., Fig. 6E) (756b) (e.g., as similarly described above with reference to step 702). For example, if the first electronic device detects a selection of the first option in the indication, the location of the third searchable item becomes trackable via the item locating application, and the user interface of the item locating application includes a representation of the third searchable item and an indication of the location of the third searchable item. The location is optionally indicated on a virtual map, on a list, within an alternative user interface, etc. For example, the location of the third searchable item is indicated by a representation of the third searchable item (e.g., an image of the third searchable item or a cartoon representation of the third searchable item), which is displayed on the map at a location corresponding to the location of the first searchable item. In some embodiments, the location of the third searchable item is indicated by a representation of the third searchable item in a list of searchable items (e.g., including the first searchable item), and the third searchable item is shown next to a text description of the location of the searchable item and / or the distance of the searchable item from the first electronic device.

[0252] In some embodiments, the indication of the invitation associated with accessing the location of the third findable item includes a second option (e.g., Fig. 6E ) (756c) (e.g., as similarly described above with reference to step 704). For example, the second option may be selected to forgo access to the location of the third searchable item (e.g., via the user interface of the item location application). In some embodiments, selecting the second option causes the first electronic device to stop displaying an indication of the invitation via the display generation component. For example, the first electronic device stops displaying an indication of the invitation in the user interface of the item location application, the home screen user interface of the first electronic device, the lock screen user interface of the first electronic device, and / or the wake-up screen user interface of the first electronic device. In some embodiments, in response to detecting a selection of the second option, the first electronic device transmits an indication to the third electronic device informing (e.g., visually and / or audibly) a third user of the third electronic device that the first user has rejected the invitation. Additionally, in some embodiments, if the second option to reject the invitation is selected, the user interface of the item location application will not include an indication of the third searchable item and a representation of the location of the third searchable item (e.g., having one or more characteristics of the representation of the first searchable item discussed above with reference to step 702 and / or the representation of the second searchable item discussed above with reference to step 708). Displaying an invitation to access the location of a findable item in a user interface of an item locating application that includes a representation of a findable item shared with and / or owned by a first user facilitates discovery that the first user has a pending invitation and / or reduces the amount of input required for the user to easily accept or dismiss the invitation, thereby improving user-device interaction.

[0253] In some embodiments, the first electronic device receives (758a) a request to share the location of a third searchable item associated with the first user, different from the first searchable item and the second searchable item, with a third user of a third electronic device, different from the first user, such as Figure 6B Request for sharing a searchable item "your keys" received from "Jack" as shown, wherein a third user cannot access the location of the third searchable item (e.g., when the request is received). For example, the request is transmitted by a third user of a third electronic device, requesting the first user of a first electronic device to grant the third user access to the location of a third searchable item (e.g., a physical item to which the first user has ownership). In some embodiments, the location is the physical location of the third searchable item within a physical environment. In some embodiments, the third user transmits the request via a user interface of an item locating application (e.g., similar to the item locating application discussed above with reference to step 702) running on a third electronic device, as described in more detail below with reference to method 1100. In some embodiments, the third user transmits the request after receiving a notification that it is being tracked by a third searchable item (e.g., the third searchable item has previously recently traveled with the third user), as described similarly below with reference to method 900.

[0254] In some embodiments, after receiving the request (e.g., in response to the request) (and optionally before receiving input at the first electronic device in response to the request and while the request remains uncompleted), the first electronic device displays (758b) in the user interface of the item locating application via the display generating component an indication of a request to share the location of a third searchable item associated with the first user with a third user (e.g., Figure 6B 606-5), wherein the indication of the request is displayed simultaneously with the representation of the first searchable item and the representation of the second searchable item. For example, after receiving the request and / or in response to receiving the request, the first electronic device displays a user interface element (e.g., in a lock screen user interface, a wake screen user interface, or a user interface such as a reference to the request). Figure 4AIn some embodiments, after receiving the request, the first electronic device receives an input corresponding to the request to display the user interface of the item location application as described in reference step 702 above. For example, the first electronic device detects a selection input pointing to the user interface element (e.g., notification) discussed above (e.g., having one or more characteristics of the input described above with reference to step 702). In some embodiments, an indication of the request is displayed in the user interface of the item location application simultaneously with a representation of the first searchable item and a representation of the second searchable item. For example, an indication of the request is displayed at a prioritized location in the first area discussed above with reference to step 710 (e.g., at the top thereof), such as at the top of a list of searchable items that have been shared with the first user (e.g., searchable items for which the user has been granted access to the location information of the searchable items). In some embodiments, the request includes an indication of a third searchable item (e.g., the name of the item and / or an image or graphical representation of the item) and one or more user-selectable buttons for granting or rejecting sharing the location of the third searchable item with a third user. In some embodiments, the indication of the third findable item is an image of the third findable item, a textual description of the third findable item, or both. Displaying a request to provide access to the location of the findable item in a user interface of an item locating application that includes representations of findable items shared with and / or owned by the first user facilitates discovery that the first user has pending requests and / or reduces the amount of input required for the user to easily view and / or interact with pending requests, thereby improving user-device interaction.

[0255] In some embodiments, the indication of a request to share the location of a third findable item associated with the first user with a third user includes (760a) a first option (e.g., Figure 6B) (760b). In some embodiments, if the first electronic device detects the selection of the first option, the location of the third searchable item optionally becomes trackable via an item locating application running on a third electronic device, and the user interface of the item locating application optionally includes a representation of the third searchable item and an indication of the location of the third searchable item. The location is optionally indicated on a virtual map, on a list, in an alternative user interface, etc. For example, the location of the third searchable item is optionally indicated by a representation of the third searchable item (e.g., an image of the third searchable item or a cartoon representation of the third searchable item), which is displayed on the map at a location corresponding to the location of the third searchable item. In some embodiments, the location of the third searchable item is optionally indicated by a representation of the third searchable item in the searchable item list, and the third searchable item is shown next to a text description of the location of the third searchable item and / or the distance of the third searchable item from the third electronic device. In some embodiments, the list view displays a single item or multiple items.

[0256] In some embodiments, the indication of a request to share the location of a third findable item associated with the first user with a third user includes a second option (e.g., selectable to deny the request to share the location of the third findable item with the third user) Figure 6B) (760c). For example, the second option may be selected to give up providing the third user with access to the location of the third searchable item (e.g., via the user interface of the item location application running on the third electronic device). In some embodiments, selecting the second option causes the first electronic device to stop displaying an indication of the request via the display generation component. For example, the first electronic device stops displaying an indication of the request in the user interface of the item location application, the home screen user interface of the first electronic device, the lock screen user interface of the first electronic device, and / or the wake-up screen user interface of the first electronic device. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the selection of the second option, the first electronic device transmits to the third electronic device an indication that the third user of the third electronic device has rejected the request (e.g., visually and / or audibly). Additionally, in some embodiments, if the second option to reject the request is selected, the user interface of the item location application will not include an indication of the location of the third searchable item as discussed above. In some embodiments, the first electronic device rejects the request to share the location of the third searchable item with the third user in response to detecting a gesture for releasing the request (optionally without displaying and / or detecting the selection of the selectable option). For example, if the first electronic device detects a swipe gesture (e.g., a swipe of a contact on a touch-sensitive surface of the first electronic device) or a long press (e.g., a contact on the touch-sensitive surface of the first electronic device is pressed / held down for a threshold amount of time, such as 0.75 seconds, 1 second, 1.5 seconds, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds, or 5 seconds) directed toward the indication of the request while the indication of the request is displayed, the first electronic device denies the request to share the location of the third findable item with the third user in the manner discussed above. Displaying a request to provide access to the location of the findable item in a user interface of an item locating application that includes representations of findable items shared with and / or owned by the first user facilitates discovery that the first user has a pending request and / or reduces the amount of input required for the user to easily grant or deny the pending request, thereby improving user-device interaction.

[0257] In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 500B) receives (714a) a second invitation associated with accessing the location of a second searchable item (e.g., "Alex's keys"), such as by Figure 6Q The illustrated representation 634-8 indicates that the second searchable item (e.g., “Alex’s keys”) is not associated with a first user (e.g., Alan) of the first electronic device and is associated with a third user (e.g., Alex) of a third electronic device that is different from the first user (e.g., Alan), such as Figure 6QIn some embodiments, the second invitation is optionally transmitted by a third user of a third electronic device to enable the first user of the first electronic device to obtain access to the location of a second searchable item (e.g., a physical item to which the third user has ownership). In some embodiments, and as noted above, the location is the physical location of the searchable item within the physical environment.

[0258] In some embodiments, after receiving the first invitation and the second invitation, the electronic device (e.g., within a user interface of the item locating application) displays (714b) a first selectable option (e.g., within a user interface of the item locating application) that is selectable to initiate a process of accepting the invitation associated with accessing the location of the first findable item. Figure 6Q In some embodiments, and after and / or in response to receiving the invitation, the display generation component displays the first selectable option to the first user, such as within a user interface element (e.g., within a lock screen user interface, a wake screen user interface, or a user interface such as a reference screen). Figure 4A In some embodiments, the first selectable option is selectable by the first user to initiate the process of accepting an invitation to gain access to the location of the first findable item. In some embodiments, the invitation includes an indication of the first findable item (e.g., the name of the item and / or an image or graphical representation of the item) and one or more user-selectable buttons to accept or ignore the notification. In some embodiments, the indication is an image of the first findable item, a text description of the first findable item, or both.

[0259] In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 500B) further displays (714d) a second selectable option (e.g., Figure 6Q 634-9) such as Figure 6Q Thus, if the electronic device has multiple outstanding invitations to visit multiple locations where items can be found, the electronic device optionally displays representations of those invitations simultaneously in the user interface of the item locating application (e.g., 634-8 or 634-9), such as Figure 6Q In some embodiments, and after and / or in response to receiving the second invitation, the display generation component displays a second selectable option to the first user, such as within a user interface element (e.g., within a lock screen user interface, a wake screen user interface, or a user interface such as a reference to the second invitation). Figure 4AIn some embodiments, the second selectable item is selectable by the first user to initiate the process of accepting a second invitation to obtain access to the location of a second findable item. In some embodiments, the second invitation includes an indication of the second findable item (e.g., the name of the item and / or an image or graphical representation of the item) and one or more user-selectable buttons to accept or ignore the notification. In some embodiments, the indication can be an image of the first findable item, a text description of the second findable item, or both. Simultaneously displaying multiple invitations to obtain access to the locations of different findable items reduces the amount of input required by the first user to view available invitations and / or findable items.

[0260] In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 500B) displays (716a) a user interface (e.g., 606) of the item locating application via a display generating component, such as a Fig. 6F A user interface displayed by device 500B in , the display including: based on determining that a first set of one or more users is able to access the location of a second findable item (e.g., "your keys" 634-1) associated with a first user (e.g., Alan) of a first electronic device (e.g., 500B) (e.g., the first user of the first electronic device invited the first set of one or more users to have access to the location of the second findable item owned by the first user, and the users in the first set of users have accepted the invitation allowing the users in the first set of users to have access to the location of the second findable item), displaying an indication of the second findable item in association with a first one or more indications of the users in the first set of one or more users, such as included in Fig. 6F The position information (716b) in the representation 634-1, such as Fig. 6F In some embodiments, the user interface of the item locating application displays a list of (all) users who can access the location of the second searchable item. For example, the user interface includes a list of indications of the names of users within the first set of users. In some embodiments, the user interface includes one or more distance indications (1 foot, 5 feet, 1 mile, 5 miles, or 20 miles) indicating the distance of the item from the electronic device. The distance indication is optionally accompanied by a time indication indicating the time when the distance indication was last updated (e.g., now, 2 seconds ago, 1 minute ago, 1 hour ago, or 5 hours ago). For example, the user interface of the first user optionally indicates the distance of the second searchable item from the electronic device and / or the first user and a time indication indicating how long it has been since the distance was updated.

[0261] In some embodiments, based on determining that a second set of one or more users different from the first set of one or more users are able to access the location of a second searchable item associated with a first user of the first electronic device, the electronic device (e.g., 500B) displays a representation of the second searchable item indicating the location of the second searchable item in association with a second one or more indications of users in the second set of one or more users (716c). For example, if Fig. 6F If "Your Keys" in the second set of searchable items is shared with a different second set of users, then instead the representation 634-1 of the second searchable item will optionally be displayed along with an indication of such second set of users. For example, and in some embodiments, the user interface includes a list of indications of users within the second set of users and / or the information described above with reference to the first set of one or more users. Additionally, the users with whom the searchable item is shared can optionally view the representation of the searchable item as well as the distance indication and the time indication. Displaying a list of users with whom the second searchable item has been shared improves the privacy of the first user by making the first user aware of who has access to the location of the second searchable item.

[0262] In some embodiments, when a first set of one or more users or a second set of one or more users is able to access the location of a second searchable item associated with a first user of the first electronic device, the first electronic device receives (762a) via a display generating component a second input corresponding to a request to share access to the location of the second searchable item with the corresponding user, such as Figure 6H668-1 for sharing the searchable item "your keys" with "Jason" via contact 603. For example, the item locating application includes a second user interface (e.g., an item page) specific to the second searchable item. The second user interface optionally includes information about the second searchable item and one or more selectable options for initiating an action specific to the second searchable item. For example, in some embodiments, the second user interface of the second searchable item associated with the first user optionally includes information about the second searchable item and a second selectable option that can be selected to transmit an invitation associated with accessing the location of the second searchable item to the user, such as described similarly with reference to step 702 above. In some embodiments, the second input corresponds to a request to provide the new user with access to the location of the second searchable item (e.g., and transmit the invitation to access the location of the second searchable item to the new user). In particular, in some embodiments, the second input corresponds to a selection of the second selectable option, which causes the first electronic device to transmit an invitation associated with accessing the location of the second searchable item to the corresponding user (e.g., a user who has not yet been able to access the location of the second searchable item). For example, the first electronic device detects a tap or touch at a location on the touch-sensitive surface corresponding to the second selectable option via a touch-sensitive surface of the first electronic device (e.g., such as a touch screen of the first electronic device). In some embodiments, the first electronic device detects selection of the second selectable option via a physical input device in communication with the first electronic device (such as one of the input devices discussed above with reference to step 702). In some embodiments, the second input corresponds to approval / acceptance of a request from the corresponding user to provide the corresponding user with access to the location of the second searchable item (e.g., as similarly described above with reference to steps 720 and / or 722).

[0263] In some embodiments, in response to receiving the second input (762b), based on determining that the first set of one or more users are able to access the location of the second searchable item associated with the first user of the first electronic device (e.g., as similarly described above with reference to step 726), the first electronic device displays (762c) via a display generating component an indication that one or more users in the first set of one or more users will be alerted that the location of the second searchable item will be accessible to the corresponding user, such as via Figure 6JAlert 631-1 is shown. For example, the first electronic device displays an alert (e.g., a notification) and / or a user interface including a message that informs the first user that sharing access to the location of the second findable item with the respective user will alert one or more users in the first set of one or more users (e.g., via an electronic device associated with one or more users) that the respective user will be able to locate the second findable item (e.g., view the location of the second findable item). Additionally, in some embodiments, the message informs the first user that sharing access to the location of the second findable item with the respective user will disable tracking notifications for the second findable item (e.g., for a predetermined amount of time, such as the duration that the respective user is able to access the location of the second findable item), such as the tracking notifications discussed below with reference to method 800.

[0264] In some embodiments, based on determining that a second set of one or more users are able to access the location of a second searchable item associated with a first user of the first electronic device (e.g., similar to that described above with reference to step 726), the first electronic device displays (762d) via a display generating component an indication that one or more users in the second set of one or more users will be alerted that the location of the second searchable item will be accessible to the corresponding user, similar to Figure 6J Alert 631-1 is shown (e.g., as similarly discussed above, but specific to one or more users in the second set of one or more users). Providing a reminder that one or more users with whom the findable item has been shared will be alerted in response to sharing the location of the findable item with a respective user who currently cannot access the location of the findable item helps improve the privacy of the one or more users by making the one or more users aware of who will also be able to access the location of the findable item, thereby improving user-device interaction.

[0265] In some embodiments, upon receiving a first input (e.g., Fig. 6E 603), wherein the first input corresponds to a selection of a first selectable option (718a), such as Fig. 6E In some embodiments, the first input includes the first user tapping, swiping, or otherwise selecting the first selectable option, and based on determining that a second invitation associated with accessing the location of the first searchable item (e.g., "Mike's keys") is transmitted to or "accepted" by a third user (e.g., Jared) different from the first user (e.g., Alan) and the second user (e.g., Mike), such as Mike inviting Jason to obtain access to the first searchable item. Figure 6HIn order to obtain access to “Mike’s keys” in the first searchable item (e.g., “Mike’s keys”), the electronic device (e.g., 500B) displays (718b) a notification (e.g., 631-1 or 632) indicating that the third user (e.g., Jared) is invited to access the location of the first searchable item (e.g., “Mike’s keys”), such as Fig.6I and / or Figure 6J . In some embodiments, if the first searchable item is shared by the second user with a third user who is different from the first user and the second user, the first user will receive a notification indicating that the third user is invited to access the location of the first searchable item. The notification is optionally displayed in various ways discussed in detail below. In some embodiments, the notification displayed or otherwise provided (e.g., via audio) indicates the name of the third user and / or indicates whether the third user is invited to access the location of the first searchable item and / or indicates whether the third user has accepted the invitation to access the location of the first searchable item. Notifying the first user when a new user is invited to access the location of the first searchable item allows the first user to track who can view the location of the first searchable item and improves the privacy of the first user.

[0266] In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 500B) displays (720a) a notification (e.g., 632) on a lock screen user interface (e.g., a user interface displayed by the electronic device when the electronic device is in a locked state and before authentication input (e.g., biometric authentication, password-based authentication, PIN-based authentication, or other means) is detected at the electronic device) of the first electronic device (e.g., 500B), such as Figure 6J . In some embodiments, when the first user is not currently interacting with the first electronic device, a notification is displayed on the lock screen user interface of the first electronic device. In some embodiments, the notification may be selected to cause the above-mentioned user interface of the item location application to be displayed. In some embodiments, when a notification is received, the notification is displayed as an overlay on another user interface displayed by the electronic device (e.g., a home screen user interface, a user interface of an application other than the item location application, or another user interface displayed by the electronic device). Notifying the first user on the lock screen ensures that the first user receives the notification even if the user is not otherwise viewing or interacting with the electronic device and / or the item location application.

[0267] In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 500B) displays (722a) a notification (e.g., 631-1) in the user interface of the item location application, such as Fig.6I. In some embodiments, when the first user is currently using the item locating application, the notification is displayed in the user interface of the item locating application. In some embodiments, uncompleted invitations (e.g., invitations that the first user has not yet responded to) are displayed together in the item locating user interface and continue to grow in number as new uncompleted invitations are received. In response to the first user responding (affirmatively or negatively) to the uncompleted invitation, the electronic device optionally removes the invitation from the item locating user interface. Notifying the first user within the item locating application ensures that the notification is presented to the first user in the user interface in which the corresponding searchable item will eventually be displayed.

[0268] In some embodiments, the first input (e.g., Fig. 6E 603) and the first selectable option (e.g., Fig. 6E ) in the first searchable item (e.g., icon 4) and a map (e.g., 623) (724c) of the physical area including the location of the first searchable item (e.g., icon 4) and the location of the third user, such as Erica's location is included in the map. Fig. 6F In some embodiments, the user interface of the item locating application includes a display of a map of a physical area surrounding the location of the first user. In some embodiments, the map area includes the location of the first user. In some embodiments, the map area includes the location of the first searchable item and / or the location of a third user. The third user is optionally the second user, or a different user associated with the first searchable item.

[0269] In some embodiments, the user interface for displaying the item locating application includes: simultaneously displaying (724d) on the map (e.g., 623) a representation of the first searchable item (e.g., "Mike's keys") at a location on the map (e.g., 623) corresponding to the location of the first searchable item (e.g., "Mike's keys") (724e) and a representation of a third user (724f) at a location on the map corresponding to the location of the third user, such as Erica's representation being displayed on the map; Fig. 6F623 of device 500B in FIG. 624 . In some embodiments, the representation of the first searchable item and the representation of the third user are represented on the map as bubbles and / or circles. However, it should be understood that these representations are optionally of any shape and / or size. In some embodiments, if the third user is sharing his or her location with the first user, only the representation of the third user is shown on the map, otherwise, the representation of the third user is optionally not displayed on the map. Displaying the location of the first searchable item and the location of the third user allows the first user to know the location of the searchable items and / or users associated with the searchable items within the map area, which further improves the privacy of the first user.

[0270] In some embodiments, the first input (e.g., Fig. 6E 603) and the first selectable option (e.g., Fig. 6E ) in the first searchable item (e.g., "Mike's keys") and the location of the third user is included in the map (e.g., 623) of the physical area. Fig. 6F In some embodiments, and as previously discussed, the user interface of the item locating application includes a display of a map of the physical area surrounding / including the location of the first user, including one or more of the features previously discussed.

[0271] In some embodiments, based on determining that a third user (e.g., Erica) is sharing their location with the first user (e.g., Alan) and based on determining that the first findable item (e.g., "Mike's keys") is proximate to the location of the third user (e.g., Erica), the electronic device (e.g., 500B) simultaneously displays (726c) the following on the map (e.g., 623). In some embodiments, the third user has chosen to share their location with the first user so that the first user can see the location of the third user via the item locating application.

[0272] In some embodiments, the electronic device displays a representation of the first searchable item (e.g., “Mike’s keys” in the form of an icon 4) (726d) located at a location on the map (e.g., 623) corresponding to the location of the first searchable item, such as Fig. 6F As shown in device 500B.

[0273] In some embodiments, the electronic device displays a representation of a third user (e.g., Erica) located at a location on the map corresponding to the location of the third user (e.g., Erica), such as Fig. 6F The map 623 of the device 500B in FIG. 5 includes an instance (726e) of a representation of Erica located at a location on the map 623 corresponding to Erica's location. In some embodiments, the representation of the first searchable item and the representation of the third user are represented on the map as bubbles and / or circles. However, it should be understood that these representations are optionally of any shape and / or size.

[0274] In some embodiments, based on determining that the third user (e.g., Erica) has not shared her location with the first user, the electronic device (e.g., 500B) displays (e.g., 726f) a representation of the first searchable item (e.g., “Mike’s keys” in the form of icon 4) located at a location on the map (e.g., 623) corresponding to the location of the first searchable item on the map (e.g., 623), without displaying a representation of the third user (e.g., Erica), such as Fig. 6F , which includes a representation of "Mike's keys" but does not include a representation of Erica. In some embodiments, the third user has not chosen to share his or her location with the first user. Therefore, even if the first findable item is with the third user, the item locating application only displays the location of the first findable item and not the location of the third user. Selectively displaying location information of the findable items and associated users, when available, allows the first user to fully understand the location of the findable items and / or users associated with the findable items within the map area, which further improves the privacy of the first user.

[0275] In some embodiments, displaying a user interface for an item locating application includes: based on determining that the third user is sharing his / her location with the first user and based on determining that the first searchable item is proximate to the location of the third user, displaying a representation of the third user (e.g., corresponding to the location of the third user) on a map based on a determination (e.g., calculation and / or estimation) of the location of the third user; Fig. 6F The icon corresponding to "Mike" on the map 623 in (764), and similarly by Fig. 6FThe "icon 4" on the map 623 in indicates that the determination of the location of the third user is independent of the determination of the location of the first searchable item. For example, the location of the third user is determined by the first electronic device based on location data of a third electronic device with which the third user is associated, and the location data is provided to the first electronic device (for example, directly or indirectly via a server (for example, a wireless communication terminal) that communicates with the third electronic device using Bluetooth, RF, IR, NFC and / or Wi-Fi). In some embodiments, the location data of the third electronic device is different from (for example, separate from) the location data of the first searchable item, and the first electronic device determines the location of the first searchable item based on its location data, regardless of the location data of the third electronic device. Displaying the location information of the searchable items and associated users based on the independent determination of the locations of the searchable items and associated users helps to improve the accuracy of the location information about the searchable items and associated users within the map area when available.

[0276] In some embodiments, in a second user interface of an item locating application, where the second user interface is associated with a second searchable item (e.g., “Mike’s keys”) associated with a first user (e.g., Mike) (e.g., the first user is the owner of the second searchable item), such as Figure 6H , the electronic device (e.g., 500A) displays (728a) a second selectable option (e.g., 668-1) that is selectable to initiate a process of transmitting a second invitation associated with accessing the location of a second findable item to a third user (e.g., Jason), such as Figure 6H . In some embodiments, the item locating application includes a second user interface (e.g., an item page) specific to the second findable item. The second user interface optionally includes information about the second findable item and one or more selectable options for initiating an action specific to the second findable item, discussed in detail below. For example, in some embodiments, a second user interface for a second findable item associated with a first user optionally includes information about the second findable item and a second selectable option that is selectable to transmit an invitation associated with accessing the location of the second findable item to the user, such as described herein.

[0277] In some embodiments, the electronic device (eg, 500A) receives (728b) a second input (eg, Figure 6H 603 in the example, wherein the second input corresponds to a selection of a second selectable option (e.g., 668-1). In some embodiments, upon receiving the second input (e.g., Figure 6HAfter the electronic device (eg, 500A) initiates (728c) a process of transmitting the second invitation to the third user (eg, Jason), such as in response to the device 500A detecting that Figure 6H The invitation is transmitted in response to selection of option 668-1 in the second selectable option. For example, the second selectable option may be optionally selected to transmit a second invitation associated with access to the location of the second findable item to the third user. In some embodiments, the second user interface has information / content similar to the user interface displayed by the second user's electronic device, from which the invitation to obtain access to the location of the first findable item is initiated. Transmitting the invitation associated with access to the location of the findable item allows the first user to effectively share the location of the findable item while controlling who can access the location of the findable item.

[0278] In some embodiments, a first set of one or more users (e.g., such as Mike) different from the first user (e.g., Mike) Figure 6H 668 in FIG. 10 ) is able to access the location of the second findable item (e.g., “Mike’s keys”) in response to having accepted an invitation associated with accessing the location of the second findable item (e.g., “Mike’s keys”), such as Jared and Alan being able to access Figure 6H and an electronic device (e.g., 500A) and one or more visual indicators (such as by a first set of one or more users) of the first set of one or more users. Figure 6H 500A ) is displayed (730a) in association with the indication "Shared with Jared and Alan" shown in the user interface displayed by device 500A in . In some embodiments, the second user interface for the second searchable item optionally includes a list of users who can access the location of the second searchable item. This list of users is optionally displayed with the second selectable option (e.g., within, next to, near and / or adjacent to the second selectable option) so that the first user knows which users can access the second searchable item when determining to whom to send a new invitation. Displaying the list of users who can access the searchable item along with the selectable option to invite new users clearly communicates item access rights to the first user to make an informed selection / invitation and improves the privacy of the first user.

[0279] In some embodiments, the first electronic device displays (766a) in the second user interface of the item locating application a second selectable option that can be selected to initiate a lost mode for a second findable item (e.g., as described with reference to steps 748 and / or 750), such as Figure 6LSelectable options 672 shown displayed on "Mike's Phone", where the second user interface is associated with a second searchable item associated with the first user. In some embodiments, the device of the user with whom the item has been shared displays a user interface (e.g., an item page) containing information about the searchable item and one or more selectable options for initiating actions specific to the searchable item. In some embodiments, the second user interface (e.g., an item page user interface) includes a selectable option to enable and / or disable lost mode. In some embodiments, the selectable option is presented in the item details user interface of the user (e.g., the owner of the item) sharing the searchable item, but not in the item details user interface of one or more (or optionally, all) other users with whom the item is shared, as discussed below. In some embodiments, enabling lost mode for a second findable item causes the second findable item to display lost mode information on one or more electronic devices that are close to the second findable item (e.g., within 0.1 cm, 0.3 cm, 1 cm, 3 cm, 5 cm, 10 cm, 20 cm, 50 cm, 100 cm, 200 cm, 500 cm, or 1000 cm), such as one or more of the following: information indicating that the second findable item is lost, information indicating the name of the owner of the second findable item, information indicating a telephone number of the owner of the second findable item, and / or information indicating an email address (or other contact information) of the owner of the second findable item.

[0280] In some embodiments, the first electronic device displays (766b) a third user interface of the item locating application, wherein the third user interface is associated with a first findable item (e.g., which is optionally owned by the second user rather than the first user, and the third user interface is an item detail user interface for the first findable item), and wherein the third user interface does not include a selectable option that can be selected to initiate a lost mode for the first findable item, the lost mode being similar to that in the Figure 6L. For example, the item page user interface of the first findable item does not include a selectable option to enable and / or disable the lost mode of the first findable item. In particular, in some embodiments, the third user interface does not include a selectable option to initiate the lost mode of the first findable item because the first user is not associated with the first findable item (e.g., not its owner). In other words, only the second user can optionally initiate the lost mode of the first findable item because the second user is the owner of the first findable item. In some embodiments, as discussed in more detail below, although the first user cannot initiate the lost mode of the first findable item, the first electronic device warns the first user (e.g., via a notification and / or other text indication) in the third user interface associated with the first findable item whether the lost mode has been activated for the first findable item (e.g., activated by the second user). In some embodiments, the notification and / or other text indication indicates to the first user when and / or how long the lost mode has been enabled for the first findable item (e.g., 1 minute ago, 1 hour ago, or 1 day ago). Thus, in some embodiments, when a user interface associated with a findable item is displayed in an item locating application at a first electronic device, if the findable item is associated with a first user of the first electronic device (e.g., the findable item is owned by the user of the first electronic device, such as the second findable item discussed above), the user interface associated with the findable item includes a selectable option that is selectable to initiate lost mode for the findable item. In some embodiments, if the findable item is not associated with the first user of the first electronic device (e.g., the findable item is shared with the first user but not owned by the first user, such as the third findable item discussed above), the user interface associated with the findable item does not include a selectable option that is selectable to initiate lost mode for the findable item. Selectively providing the option to initiate lost mode for the findable item gives the owner of the findable item sole control over initiating lost mode for the findable item, thereby improving the owner's privacy and / or user-device interaction.

[0281] In some embodiments, a third user of the third electronic device, different from the first user, is able to access the location of the second findable item (768a) (e.g., the third user is able to view and track the location of the second findable item because the first user has shared access to the location of the second findable item with the third user). In some embodiments, when displaying the second selectable option in a second user interface associated with the second findable item, the first electronic device receives (768b) a selection of the second selectable option via one or more input devices, such as via a user interface such as a keyboard. Figure 6LThe contact 603 shown corresponds to a second input for the selection of the selectable option 672 on "Mike's Phone". For example, the first electronic device detects a tap or touch at a location on the touch-sensitive surface corresponding to the second selectable option via a touch-sensitive surface of the first electronic device (e.g., such as a touch screen of the first electronic device). In some embodiments, the first electronic device detects the selection of the second selectable option via a physical input device that communicates with the first electronic device (such as one of the input devices discussed above with reference to step 702).

[0282] In some embodiments, in response to receiving the second input, the first electronic device initiates (768c) a lost mode for the second findable item, such as Figure 6M Selectable options 672 are shown as indicated. For example, the first electronic device activates lost mode for the second findable item, as discussed above with reference to step 746. In some embodiments, while lost mode for the second findable item is active, the first electronic device receives (768d) an indication that the second findable item has been located, as discussed above with reference to step 746. Figure 6S Similar as described, wherein the indication is not transmitted to a third user of the third electronic device.

[0283] In some embodiments, in response to receiving the indication, the first electronic device displays (768e) via the display generation component a visual indication that the second searchable item has been located, such as Figure 6SIndication 693 is shown displayed on "Mike's Phone". For example, when the lost mode of the second findable item is active (e.g., after receiving the second input as discussed above), the first electronic device receives an indication that the second findable item has been located by another electronic device proximate to the second findable item and / or a server (e.g., a wireless communication terminal) that communicates with the second findable item, the first electronic device, and / or another electronic device. As an example, the location of the second findable item is notified to the server by the other electronic device (e.g., or the second findable item transmits location data to the server), and the server subsequently notifies the first electronic device that the second findable item has been found, which includes transmitting the indication to the first electronic device. In some embodiments, after receiving the indication (e.g., in response to receiving the indication), the first electronic device displays an item location alert (e.g., a message) informing the first user that the second findable item has been found, including the current location of the second findable item, contact information (e.g., name, number, and / or email address) corresponding to the user who has located the second findable item (e.g., and currently owns the second findable item), and / or a representation of the second findable item (e.g., an image or cartoon representation of the second findable item), thereby enabling the first user to locate the second findable item. In some embodiments, the first electronic device receives an indication that the second findable item has been located without transmitting the indication to a third electronic device. For example, although the second findable item is shared with a third user of the third electronic device, the third electronic device does not display an alert. Therefore, in some embodiments, when the lost mode of the findable item is active, if the findable item is associated with the first user of the first electronic device (e.g., the findable item is owned by the user of the first electronic device, such as the second findable item discussed above), the first electronic device is configured to receive an indication that the findable item has been located (e.g., including a visual indication that the findable item has been located). In some embodiments, if the findable item is not associated with the first user of the first electronic device (e.g., the findable item is shared with the first user but not owned by the first user, such as the third findable item discussed above with reference to step 746), the first electronic device is not configured to receive an indication that the findable item has been located (e.g., including forgoing displaying a visual indication that the findable item has been located). Selectively providing an item location alert for the findable item when the findable item is in lost mode without providing the item location alert to other users who have access to the location of the findable item enables the owner of the findable item to have sole control over locating the findable item, thereby improving the owner's privacy and / or user-device interaction.

[0284] In some embodiments, in a second user interface of an item locating application, where the second user interface is associated with a first searchable item (e.g., "Mike's keys"), such as by Figure 6H Device 500A in FIG. 5 displays a user interface associated with “Mike’s keys”, the electronic device (e.g., 500A) displays (732a) a second selectable option (e.g., 670) that can be selected to initiate lost mode for a first findable item (e.g., “Mike’s keys”), such as Figure 6H . In some embodiments, and as noted above, the second user interface includes a selectable option to enable and / or disable lost mode. In some embodiments, the selectable option is optionally presented in the item details user interface of the user (e.g., the owner of the item) sharing the findable item and the item details user interface of one or more (or optionally, all) other users sharing the item with the user. In some embodiments, enabling the lost mode of the first findable item causes the first findable item to display lost mode information on one or more electronic devices close to the first findable item (e.g., within 0.1 cm, 0.3 cm, 1 cm, 3 cm, 5 cm, 10 cm, 20 cm, 50 cm, 100 cm, 200 cm, 500 cm, or 1000 cm), such as one or more of the following: information indicating that the first findable item is lost, information indicating the name of the owner of the first findable item, information indicating the phone number of the owner of the first findable item, and / or information indicating the email address (or other contact information) of the owner of the first findable item. Allowing one or more (or optionally, all) users with access to findable items to enable or disable lost mode for findable items ensures that lost mode can be easily enabled, which improves the likelihood that the findable items will be found.

[0285] In some embodiments, displaying the second user interface includes (734a): based on determining that lost mode is enabled for the first findable item, and a third user (e.g., the first user, the second user, or a different user) has enabled lost mode for the first findable item, displaying (734b) in the second user interface a visual indication (e.g., 688) indicating that the third user (e.g., Mike) has initiated lost mode, such as Figure 6LAs shown in the user interface displayed by device 500B in , the visual indication includes an indication 688 indicating that lost mode has been enabled and indicating that Mike has enabled lost mode. In some embodiments, and as noted above, the second user interface includes a selectable option to enable and / or disable lost mode. In some embodiments, and when lost mode is enabled, a visual indication indicating which user initiated lost mode is displayed. For example, if a third user initiates lost mode, the second user interface will display the name of the third user and / or a visual indication that the third user initiated lost mode. If a different user has enabled lost mode, the second user interface will optionally include an indication of the different user instead. Alerting owners and users who share items with them who initiated lost mode allows users who have access to findable items to know who initiated lost mode, which also informs such users who have taken action on the findable items, thereby improving privacy.

[0286] In some embodiments, displaying the second user interface includes (736a): based on determining that lost mode is enabled for the first findable item (e.g., "Mike's keys"), displaying (736b) in the second user interface a visual indication (e.g., 688) (736b) of when lost mode is enabled for the first findable item, such as by Figure 6L In some embodiments, and when lost mode is enabled, a visual indication of how long ago lost mode was initiated (e.g., now, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 5 hours, or 1 day ago) is displayed. For example, if the third user initiated lost mode 2 minutes ago, the second user interface will optionally display a visual indication that the third user initiated lost mode 2 minutes ago. Alerting the owner and users with whom the item is shared how long ago lost mode was initiated allows users with access to findable items to know how long the item has been indicated as lost.

[0287] In some embodiments, displaying the second user interface includes (738a): based on determining that lost mode is enabled for the first findable item (e.g., "Mike's keys"), displaying (738b) in the second user interface a third selectable option that is selectable to change the phone number associated with lost mode for the first findable item (e.g., "Mike's keys"), such as by Figure 6L500B includes a selectable option to change the phone number associated with the lost mode for "Mike's keys". In some embodiments, and optionally when lost mode is enabled, a third selectable option is displayed to change the phone number associated with the lost mode for the first findable item (or other contact information to be indicated in the lost mode information as previously described). In some embodiments, this selectable option is optionally presented in an item detail user interface for the findable item of the user who shared the findable item and in an item detail user interface for the findable item of one or more (or optionally, all) other users with whom the item is shared.

[0288] In some embodiments, the electronic device (eg, 500B) receives (783c) a second input, wherein the second input is associated with a selection of a third selectable option such as in Figure 6L , corresponds to a selection of an option in the user interface of device 500B shown to change the phone number associated with the lost mode. In some embodiments, after receiving the second input, the electronic device (e.g., 500B) receives (738d) a third input to change the phone number associated with the lost mode of the first searchable item (e.g., "Mike's keys"), such as entering the phone number via a soft keyboard displayed by device 500B after the second input and / or in response to the second input. In some embodiments, after receiving the third input, the electronic device (e.g., 500B) displays (738e) the changed phone number associated with the lost mode of the first searchable item. For example, if Alan Figure 6J If the selectable option in the user interface displayed by device 500B in the embodiment changes the phone number, the phone number associated with the lost mode of "Mike's Keys" will optionally be updated, and device 500B will optionally be updated in the embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6L This updated phone number is displayed in a user interface displayed by device 500B in . In some embodiments, the phone number associated with the lost mode of the first findable item is updated in the lost mode information displayed to one or more electronic devices in proximity to the first findable item. The updated phone number is also displayed in the item detail user interface of the findable item of (one or more) (or optionally all) other users with whom the item is shared. Changing / updating the phone number used for lost mode allows one or more (or optionally, all) users who have access to the findable item to be contacted if the findable item is found.

[0289] In some embodiments, in a second user interface of an item locating application, where the second user interface is associated with a second searchable item (e.g., “Mike’s keys”) associated with a first user (e.g., Mike), such as by Figure 6LIn the example of FIG. 5 , the electronic device (e.g., 500A) displays a user interface associated with “Mike’s keys” displayed by device 500A in FIG. 5 , the electronic device (e.g., 500A) displays (740a) (e.g., the first user is the owner of the second findable item and the second user interface is an item detail user interface of the second findable item) a second selectable option (e.g., 668-1) that is selectable to initiate a process of transmitting a second invitation associated with accessing the location of the second findable item (e.g., “Mike’s keys”) to a third user (e.g., Jason), such as Figure 6L In some embodiments, and as noted above, the user interface associated with the findable item includes a selectable option to transmit to the user an invitation associated with the location of the findable item, as previously described.

[0290] In some embodiments, the electronic device displays (740b) a third user interface of the item locating application, wherein the third user interface is associated with the first searchable item (e.g., "Mike's keys"), such as by Figure 6L 500B in , wherein the third user interface does not include a selectable option that is selectable to initiate a process of transmitting a third invitation associated with accessing the location of the first findable item, such as Figure 6L An option for adding additional users to "Mike's Keys" is not shown in the user interface of device 500B in . In some embodiments, the device of the user with whom the item has been shared displays a user interface (item page) containing information about the findable item and one or more selectable options to initiate actions specific to the findable item. However, in some embodiments, the user interface does not include a selectable option to initiate the transmission of an invitation associated with accessing the location of the findable item to other users. Selectively providing the option to transmit the invitation gives the owner of the item control over which users receive the invitation, thereby improving the owner's privacy.

[0291] In some embodiments, the first searchable item is associated with (e.g., Figure 6L The third user interface of device 500A in FIG. 5 does not include a selectable option that can be selected to initiate a process of revoking access to the location of the first searchable item (e.g., “Mike’s keys”), such as by Figure 6L The user interface associated with “Mike’s keys” displayed by device 500B in FIG. 5 does not include a selectable option for revoking other users’ access to the location of “Mike’s keys,” and the user interface associated with the second searchable item (e.g., Figure 6LThe second user interface of device 500A in FIG. 5 does include a third selectable option (742a) that is selectable to initiate a process of revoking access to the location of the second findable item, such as by Figure 6M The user interface associated with "Mike's keys" displayed by device 500A in includes an option 694 that is selectable to revoke other users' access to the location of "Mike's keys." In some embodiments, the user interface displayed by the device of the user associated with the second searchable item also includes a selectable option that is selectable to initiate a process of revoking access to the location of the second searchable item. For example, if the user has shared access to the location of the second searchable item with one or more other users, the item details user interface displayed by the user's device includes one or more selectable options that are selectable to revoke access to the location of the second searchable item from one or more other users. In contrast, in some embodiments, the user interface of the user with whom the item has been shared does not include a selectable option that is selectable to initiate a process of revoking access to the location of the first searchable item. Selectively providing the option to revoke access gives the owner of the item control over which users are able to access the searchable item, thereby improving the owner's privacy.

[0292] In some embodiments, upon receiving a first input (e.g., Fig. 6E 603), wherein the first input corresponds to a selection of a first selectable option (744a), based on determining that the location of the second searchable item (e.g., "Mike's keys") satisfies one or more separation criteria, including criteria that are satisfied when the location of the second searchable item has become separated from the first electronic device, the electronic device (e.g., 500A) presents (744b) one or more indications that the second searchable item (e.g., "Mike's keys") has become separated from the first electronic device (e.g., 500A). For example, if Mike has been separated from "Mike's keys", the electronic device 500A optionally generates a visual and / or audio indication indicating that "Mike's keys" have been separated from the device 500A. In some embodiments, if the electronic device determines that the user and / or electronic device associated with the second searchable item has been separated from the second searchable item by at least a threshold distance (e.g., 0.5 km, 2 km, 4 km, 8 km, 16 km, 32 km, 64 km, or 88 km), the electronic device presents an (audio and / or visual) separation alert indicating that the second searchable item has been separated from the electronic device.

[0293] In some embodiments, based on determining that the location of a first searchable item (e.g., "Mike's keys") satisfies one or more separation criteria, the electronic device (e.g., 500B) will not present (744c) one or more indications that the first searchable item has become separated from the first electronic device (e.g., 500B). For example, if Alan has been separated from "Mike's keys," the electronic device 500B will optionally not generate a visual and / or audio indication indicating that "Mike's keys" have been separated from the device 500B. In some embodiments, the electronic device does not present a separation alert for items whose locations have been shared with the electronic device (e.g., via the above-mentioned invitation), even if those shared items otherwise meet one or more separation criteria. Selectively generating separation alerts allows owners to know when an item has been separated and avoids unnecessary alert generation for other users who are more likely to be separated from the searchable item.

[0294] In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 500A) displays (746a) a second user interface of the item locating application, wherein the second user interface is associated with the first searchable item (e.g., "Mike's keys") (e.g., the second user interface is an item detail user interface of the first searchable item), such as by Figure 6K Device 500A or Figure 6K 500B in FIG. 50A displays a user interface associated with “Mike’s Keys” and the second user interface includes a second selectable option (e.g., Figure 6K 674 or 690 in , such as Figure 6K In some embodiments, the second user interface includes a selectable option to rename the searchable item. In some embodiments, the selectable option is presented in the second user interface associated with the searchable item and in other corresponding user interfaces of users with whom the searchable item is shared.

[0295] In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 500A) receives (e.g., 746b) a second input, wherein the second input is associated with a selection of a second selectable option such as Figure 6K In some embodiments, after receiving the second input, the electronic device (e.g., 500A) receives (746c) a third input to rename the first searchable item, such as in response to selecting option 674 or 690. Figure 6K In some embodiments, the user with whom the first searchable item is shared can rename the first searchable item by entering the updated name into the corresponding second user interface.

[0296] In some embodiments, after receiving the third input, the electronic device (e.g., 500A) displays (746d) the renamed first searchable item. Figure 6K If device 500B in detects the input of renaming "Mike's keys" to "Mike's car keys" as described above, device 500B will optionally update the name of "Mike's keys" in the item locating application to "Mike's car keys". In the event that the first user renames the item, the renamed first searchable item is optionally updated only within the first user's second user interface (and not updated for other users with whom the location of the first searchable item is shared and / or not updated for the second user). Alternatively, in the event that the first user renames the first searchable item, the name is optionally updated in the item details user interface of (each) other user with whom the second searchable item is shared and / or the second user. The ability to allow users with whom an item is shared to rename the item provides the user with some control over the name / display of the searchable item.

[0297] In some embodiments, the second user (e.g., Mike) is able to access the location of the first searchable item (748a) (e.g., because the second user is the owner of the first searchable item), such as at Fig.6O , where device 500B is displaying a user interface of "Mike's Keys" that Mike can access. In some embodiments, upon receiving a first input (e.g., Fig. 6E 603), wherein the first input is associated with a selection of a first selectable option (e.g., Fig. 6E The electronic device (e.g., 500B) receives (748b) a second input (e.g., "accept") corresponding to a request to stop access to the location of the first searchable item (e.g., "Mike's keys"). Fig.6O 603), such as Fig.6O 692. In some embodiments, one or more (or optionally, all) users with whom the item is shared are able to remove the findable item from their item locating application. It should be noted that this action optionally removes the findable item only from the user's specific item locating application, and the findable item and corresponding location / information optionally remain accessible to one or more (or optionally, all) other users with whom the item is shared and / or the owner of the first findable item. For example, in some embodiments, a second user optionally submits a request to remove the second user from a location that can access the first findable item.

[0298] In some embodiments, upon receiving a second input (e.g., Fig.6OAfter 603 in the example, the electronic device (e.g., 500B) displays (748c) a user interface of the item location application via a display generation component, such as a Figure 6P A user interface displayed by device 500B in FIG. 5 , wherein the user interface of the item locating application does not include a representation of a first searchable item (eg, “Mike’s keys”) indicating a location of the first searchable item, such as indicated by Figure 6P The user interface displayed by device 500B in 620 no longer includes a representation of “Mike's keys” in the list of findable items shown on map 623 and / or below map 623. In some embodiments, once the electronic device recognizes and / or receives the request to cease access to the location of the first findable item, the user interface of the item locating application no longer displays the representation of the first findable item or its associated location.

[0299] In some embodiments, in response to receiving a second input (e.g., Fig.6O 603) (748d), the electronic device (e.g., 500B) stops (748e) access to the location of the first searchable item (e.g., "Mike's keys"), such as Figure 6P Device 500B in , no longer has access to "Mike's Keys", where the second user (e.g., Mike or Jared) continues to be able to access the location of the first searchable item, such as by Figure 6P The user interface displayed on device 500C is shown as follows.

[0300] In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 500B) displays (748f) a user interface object indicating that the second user continues to be able to access the location of the first searchable item, such as when the device 500B responds to Fig.6O , and in response to receiving a request to cease access to the location of a first findable item, access to the location of the first findable item is ceased for the first user, but the second user continues to be able to access the location of the first findable item. In some embodiments, the first user receives a notification indicating that the second user continues to be able to access the location of the first findable item. In some embodiments, the notification includes indications of other users who are also able to access the location of the first findable item. Allowing one or more (or optionally, all) users to remove findable items from the item locating application provides users with control over the items they can access.

[0301] In some embodiments, upon receiving a first input (e.g., Fig. 6E 603), wherein the first input is associated with a selection of a first selectable option (e.g., Fig. 6E , wherein the first user (e.g., Alan) and one or more other users including the second user (e.g., Mike) are able to access the location of the first searchable item (e.g., “Mike’s keys”), such as in response to device 500A detecting that Figure 6M In response to selection of option 694 in the electronic device (e.g., 500B), the electronic device (e.g., 500B) receives (750a) an indication that access to the location of a first findable item ("Mike's keys") has been revoked (e.g., by the owner of the first findable item). In some embodiments, the owner of the first findable item is able to revoke access to the location of the first findable item by the first user (or other shared users). In some embodiments, the owner of the first findable item is able to revoke access to the first user while maintaining access to one or more other users with whom the location of the first findable item has been shared. In some embodiments, the owner of the first findable item is able to revoke access to all users with whom the location of the first findable item has been shared. In some embodiments, after receiving an indication that access to the location of the first findable item has been revoked (e.g., in response to the indication), the electronic device displays (750b) a user interface object (e.g., a notification) indicating that access to the location of the first findable item has been revoked and that the location of the first findable item remains accessible to one or more other users, such as notifications 692 and / or 698. Figure 6N Device 500B and / or 500C in is displayed. In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., via audio and / or video) presents an alert or notification to the user so that the user is aware that their access to the location of the first searchable item has been revoked. The alert / object is optionally displayed in various ways, such as displayed on a lock screen user interface, displayed as a pop-up notification, within an item locating application, and / or within a different user interface displayed by the electronic device, as previously described with respect to the notification of the invitation sent by the second user to other users to obtain access to the location of the first searchable item. In some embodiments, the notification includes a list of users who are still able to access the location of the first searchable item. Alerting the user when access to a searchable item is revoked allows the user to accurately keep track of the searchable items to which the user has access.

[0302] In some embodiments, after receiving a first input, wherein the first input corresponds to a selection of a first selectable option in which the first user and one or more other users including the second user have access to the location of a first searchable item, the first electronic device receives (770a) via one or more input devices a second input corresponding to a request to remove access to the location of the first searchable item (e.g., of which the first user is not the owner), such as via a Figure 6PThe contact 603 shown is to the selection of selectable option 692. In some embodiments, one or more (or optionally, all) users with whom the first searchable item is shared are able to remove the first searchable item from their item location application. It should be noted that this action optionally removes the searchable item only from the user's specific item location application, and the searchable item and the corresponding location / information optionally remain accessible to one or more (or optionally, all) other users and / or the owner of the first searchable item with whom the item is shared (and / or when the second input is detected) as discussed below. In some embodiments, the second input corresponds to the selection of a selectable option that is specific to the first searchable item and displayed at the first electronic device in the user interface of the item location application. In some embodiments, the selectable option can be selected to initiate the process of removing the first user from the access right to the location of the first searchable item.

[0303] In some embodiments, after receiving the second input (e.g., in response to the receipt), the first electronic device displays (770b) via the display generation component indicating that the location of the first searchable item remains accessible to one or more other users including the second user of the second electronic device (e.g., the owner of the first searchable item) (e.g., a notification), such as Fig.6O Display of notification 692 shown. In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., via audio and / or video) presents to the first user an alert or notification that confirms to the first user that their access to the location of the first searchable item has been removed. The alert / notification is optionally displayed in various ways, such as on a lock screen user interface, as a pop-up notification, within an item location application, and / or within a different user interface displayed by the first electronic device, as previously described with respect to the notification of an invitation to obtain access to the location of the first searchable item sent by the second user to other users. In some embodiments, the notification includes a list of users who are still able to access the location of the first searchable item, and an indication that the list of users of the second user to whom the first searchable item is associated (e.g., owned by it) is still able to access the location of the first searchable item (e.g., in their specific item location application). Additionally, in some embodiments, the user interface object includes an indication that a tracking notification for the first searchable item will be enabled at the first electronic device, such as the tracking notification discussed below with reference to method 700. Alerting a user when access to a findable item is revoked allows the user to accurately keep track of findable items that the user has access to and / or helps improve user security relative to the user's discoverable location, thereby improving user-device interaction.

[0304] It should be understood that 7A to 7OThe specific order in which the operations are described in the description is merely exemplary and is not intended to indicate that the order is the only order in which the operations may be performed. A person of ordinary skill in the art will recognize many ways to reorder the operations described herein. Additionally, it should be noted that the details of other processes described herein with respect to other methods described herein (e.g., method 900 and / or 1100) are also applicable in a similar manner to the details of other processes described above with respect to 7A to 7O Method 700 is described. For example, findable items, sharing access to findable items, displaying an item locating application, displaying a user interface associated with the findable items, and receiving an invitation associated with accessing the location of the findable items as described above with reference to method 700 optionally have one or more of the characteristics of a remote locator object, sharing access to a remote locator object, displaying an item locating application, displaying a user interface associated with the remote locator object, displaying a notification related to the remote locator object, and receiving an invitation associated with accessing the location of the remote locator object as described with reference to other methods described herein (e.g., methods 900 and / or 1100). For the sake of brevity, these details are not repeated here.

[0305] The operations in the above information processing method are optionally implemented by running one or more functional modules in an information processing device, such as a general-purpose processor (e.g., Figure 1A to Figure 1B , Figure 3 , FIG. 5A to FIG. 5H In addition, the above reference 7A to 7J The described operations are optionally performed by Figure 1A to Figure 1B1. For example, receiving operations 702a, 702c, 754a, 758a, 762a, 768b, and 770a and displaying operations 702b, 702d, 754b, 758b, 762c, 762d, 766a, 766b, 768e, and 770b are optionally implemented by event classifier 170, event identifier 180, and event handler 190. Event monitor 171 in event classifier 170 detects contact on touch screen 504, and event distributor module 174 transmits event information to application 136-1. The corresponding event identifier 180 of application 136-1 compares the event information with the corresponding event definition 186 and determines whether the first contact at the first position on the touch screen corresponds to a predefined event or sub-event, such as a selection of an object on the user interface. When a corresponding predefined event or sub-event is detected, event recognizer 180 activates an event handler 190 associated with the detection of the event or sub-event. Event handler 190 optionally utilizes or calls data updater 176 or object updater 177 to update application internal state 192. In some embodiments, event handler 190 accesses a corresponding GUI updater 178 to update the content displayed by the application. Similarly, those skilled in the art will clearly know how to update the application internal state 192 based on the GUI updater 178. Figure 1A to Figure 1B The components depicted in the figure are used to implement other processes.

[0306] Notification that it is being tracked by a remote locator object

[0307] Users interact with electronic devices in a variety of different ways. In some embodiments, a remote locator object can report its location to an electronic device and / or make its location accessible to the electronic device. The embodiments described below provide ways for an electronic device to provide an alert that an unknown remote locator object is tracking a user's location, thereby enhancing the user's interaction with the electronic device and enhancing the user's privacy. Enhancing interaction with the device reduces the amount of time required for the user to perform an operation, thereby reducing the power consumption of the device and extending the battery life of battery-powered devices. It should be understood that people use devices. When a person uses a device, this person is optionally referred to as a user of the device.

[0308] FIG. 8A to FIG. 8N An exemplary manner in which an electronic device displays a notification that it is being tracked by an unknown remote locator object according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is illustrated. The embodiments in these figures are used to illustrate the process described below, including reference to 9A to 9E The process described.

[0309] FIG. 8A to FIG. 8N The electronic device 500 is illustrated displaying a notification that it is being tracked by one or more unknown remote locator objects. Fig. 8AAn exemplary device 500 is illustrated that includes a touch screen 504. Fig. 8A As shown, the electronic device 500 presents a lock screen user interface 804 (e.g., a wake screen user interface). In some embodiments, the lock screen user interface 804 is a user interface displayed when the electronic device 500 is awakened (e.g., from a sleep, power-off, or locked state). In some embodiments, a first remote locator object (“remote locator object”, “findable item”) 800a is at or near the location of the electronic device 500. For example, Fig. 8A As shown in the map view 820 in FIG. 8 , the location of the first remote locator object 800a is at or near the location associated with the electronic device 500 (e.g., within a first threshold distance such as 0.1 m, 0.5 m, 1 m, 1.5 m, 2 m, 5 m, 10 m, or 20 m). Additional examples of the first threshold distance are described below in method 900. In some embodiments, the user of the electronic device 500 is unaware of the presence of the first remote locator object 800a. As shown in the map view 820, the first remote locator object 800a and the electronic device 500 are optionally located on Street A. It should be understood that, as described below, the location of the electronic device 500 and the location of the user of the electronic device 500 are referred to interchangeably herein.

[0310] In some embodiments, when the electronic device 500 (e.g., or a server in communication with the electronic device 500) determines that the location of the first remote locator object 800a has followed the location of the user (e.g., a location associated with the electronic device 500), the electronic device 500 generates (e.g., displays) a notification that it is being tracked by the first remote locator object. In some embodiments, if the location of the first remote locator object 800a is the same as the user's location (or within a first threshold distance of the user's location, such as 0.1 m, 0.5 m, 1 m, 1.5 m, 2 m, 5 m, 10 m, or 20 m) for a threshold amount of time (e.g., 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, or 5 hours), it is determined that the remote locator object is following the user's location. In some embodiments, if the location of the first remote locator object 800a is the same as the location of the user after moving a threshold distance (e.g., 5m, 10m, 20m, 40m, 50m, 100m, 200m, or 500m, or 1km, 2km, 5km, or 10km), then it is determined that the first remote locator object 800a is following the location of the user. Additional examples of threshold distances and threshold amounts of time are given below in method 900. In some embodiments, if the location of the first remote locator object remains within a first threshold distance from the user during and after moving beyond the threshold distance, then it is determined that the remote locator object is following the location of the user. In some embodiments, any combination of the above may be a factor or requirement (e.g., criteria) for determining whether the first remote locator object 800a is following the user.

[0311] For example, Figure 8B , the electronic device 500 and the first remote locator object 800a have moved together from Street A to the intersection of Street B and Street C. In some embodiments, as discussed above, the electronic device 500 detects that the location of the first remote locator object 800a is the same as or within a first threshold distance of the location of the user of the electronic device 500. Additionally or alternatively, for example, the electronic device 500 detects that the electronic device 500 and the first remote locator object 800a have moved together for more than the threshold distance discussed above. In some embodiments, the electronic device 500 determines whether the first remote locator object 800a has been moving together with the electronic device 500 for a threshold amount of time, such as Figure 8B This is indicated by the advancement of the time bar in Figure 8B As shown, because the time bar has not reached the timer mark 801 (representing the threshold amount of time mentioned above), the electronic device 500 determines that the first remote locator object 800a has not moved with the electronic device 500 for the threshold amount of time and has not generated a notification of tracking.

[0312] In some embodiments, the electronic device 500 polls (e.g., continuously or intermittently) the location of the first remote locator object 800a to determine whether the first remote locator object 800a has been moving with the user of the electronic device 500 for more than the threshold distance discussed above and / or for more than the threshold amount of time discussed above. Figure 8C As shown, the electronic device 500 determines that the location of the first remote locator object 800a is still at or within the first threshold distance of the location associated with the electronic device 500. Figure 8C As shown in the map view 820 of FIG. 8 , the first remote locator object 800a and the electronic device 500 are still located at the intersection of B Street and C Street. Figure 8C As shown, the electronic device 500 optionally determines whether the first remote locator object 800a and the electronic device 500 have been together (e.g., at or within a first threshold distance of the same location) for a threshold amount of time. Although the first remote locator object 800a and the electronic device 500 are still both located at the same location (e.g., relative to the location when the electronic device 500 last polled the first remote locator object 800a), as shown in FIG. Figure 8C As indicated by the advancement of the time bar in , the first remote locator object 800a and the electronic device 500 have not been together for more than a threshold amount of time, and therefore the electronic device 500 has forgone displaying a notification that the first remote locator object is tracking the user's location.

[0313] In some embodiments, when the electronic device 500 determines that the location of the first remote locator object 800a has been at or within a first threshold distance of the user location for more than a threshold amount of time, the electronic device 500 generates a notification 802, such as Fig.8D For example, Fig.8D As shown in the map view 820 in FIG. 1 , the first remote locator object 800a and the electronic device 500 remain at the same location (e.g., within a first threshold distance of each other) relative to when the electronic device 500 last polled the location of the first remote locator object 800a. In addition, the electronic device 500 optionally determines that the first remote locator object 800a has been following the location of the electronic device 500 for more than a threshold amount of time, such as Fig.8D As indicated by the advancement of the time bar in past timer marker 801, this prompts the electronic device 500 to display a notification 802, as discussed below.

[0314] In some embodiments, the electronic device 500 displays the notification 802 in the lock screen user interface 804, such as Fig.8DAs shown. In some embodiments, notification 802 notifies the user that an unknown (e.g., unrelated to the user of the electronic device 500) remote locator object (e.g., optionally, a "tag") is tracking (e.g., following) the location of the user. In some embodiments, notification 802 indicates to the user that the owner of the unknown remote locator object is able to see the location of the remote locator object. In some embodiments, if the corresponding remote locator object is not associated with the user / user account of the electronic device 500 and is not shared with the user / user account of the device 500 (e.g., associated with another user account), then the corresponding remote locator object is determined to be unknown. In some embodiments, remote locator objects that have been previously shared with a user but are not currently shared with the user are also considered unknown remote locator objects that will trigger a tracking alarm. Additional details related to unknown remote locator objects are provided in method 900.

[0315] In some embodiments, the owner of the remote locator object and the user of the electronic device 500 are members of a predefined user group. For example, the predefined user group is a family account (e.g., a shared account) that includes the owner of the first remote locator object 800a and the user of the electronic device 500. Fig.8D As shown, notification 802 optionally indicates that the owner of the first remote locator object 800a is a family member (e.g., a member of a family account that includes the user of the electronic device 500). In some embodiments, when the owner of the remote locator object and the user of the electronic device 500 are members of a predefined user group, notification 802 includes a name associated with the owner of the remote locator object (e.g., to indicate to the user that a particular family member's tag is at the user's location).

[0316] It should be understood that although notification 802 is illustrated as being displayed on lock screen user interface 804, notification 802 is optionally displayed on other user interfaces (e.g., in one or more of all situations in which other notifications may be displayed). For example, notification 802 is optionally displayed on the home screen user interface of electronic device 500, in a predefined area (e.g., the top area) of the home screen user interface, on top of a user interface of an application installed on electronic device 500, and / or on a lock screen user interface of a second electronic device in communication with electronic device 500.

[0317] exist Fig.8D , the electronic device 500 receives user input 803 (e.g., a tap or touch detected on the touch screen 504) selecting the notification 802. In some embodiments, in response to receiving the user input, the electronic device 500 displays an information user interface 810, such as Fig. 8EIn some embodiments, the information user interface 810 is a card user interface overlaid on another user interface (e.g., such as a home screen user interface or a lock screen user interface of the electronic device 500 or a user interface displayed by the device 500 when input 803 is detected on the notification 802). Fig. 8E As shown, in some embodiments, the information user interface 810 includes a map 812 indicating the current location of the first remote locator object 800a that is tracking the user. For example, the map 812 includes a representation of the first remote locator object 800a located at a location on the map corresponding to the current location of the first findable item 800a (e.g., at the intersection of B Street and C Street), as shown. In some embodiments, the information user interface 810 includes selectable options 814-1 to 814-4 for performing functions for the first remote locator object 800a that is tracking the user, as discussed below.

[0318] In some embodiments, the information user interface 810 includes a request to share option 814-1. In some embodiments, the electronic device 500 displays the request to share option 814-1 in the user interface 810 based on whether one or more criteria are met. As discussed above, the user of the electronic device 500 and the owner of the first remote locator object 800a are optionally members of a predefined user group (e.g., a family account). In some embodiments, the one or more criteria include criteria that are met when the owner of the first remote locator object 800a and the user of the electronic device 500 are members of a predefined user group. In some embodiments, the user interface 810 (e.g., optionally, the top area of ​​the user interface 810) indicates that the owner of the first remote locator object 800a is a member of a predefined user group that includes the user of the electronic device (e.g., "Family member's marker is following your location"), such as Fig. 8E Therefore, Fig. 8E As shown, the electronic device 500 displays the request to share option 814-1 in the information user interface 810 because one or more criteria are met. In some embodiments, as described later herein, based on determining that one or more criteria are not met because the owner of the corresponding remote locator object and the user of the electronic device 500 are not members of the same predefined user group, the electronic device 500 forgoes displaying the request to share option 814-1 in the information user interface 810. In some embodiments, as discussed below, the request to share option 814-1 is selectable to initiate a process of requesting the owner of the first remote locator object 800a to share the location of the first remote locator object 800a with the user (e.g., and therefore the electronic device 500).

[0319] In some embodiments, the information user interface 810 includes a disable option 814-2 that is selectable to initiate a process of disabling the first remote locator object 800a. For example, in response to receiving a user input (e.g., user input 805a) pointing to the disable option 814-2, the electronic device 500 displays one or more instructions for directing the disabling of the first remote locator object 800a (e.g., instructions for removing a battery from the first remote locator object 800a). In some embodiments, the disable option 814-2 is selectable to cause the electronic device 500 to deactivate the first remote locator object 800a (e.g., to cause the first remote locator object 800a to enter a sleep state, power off, and / or enter a low power mode). In some embodiments, the information user interface 810 also includes a play sound option 814-3 that is selectable to initiate a process of causing the first remote locator object 800a to output audio. For example, in response to receiving user input directed to the play sound option 814-3 (e.g., user input 805b), the electronic device 500 causes the first remote locator object 800a to emit an audible sound (e.g., a ringtone, chime, and / or melody) that allows a user of the electronic device 500 to locate the first remote locator object 800a.

[0320] In some embodiments, the information user interface 810 also includes a pause alert option 814-4, which is selectable to initiate a process of pausing future tracking alerts for the first remote locator object 800a (e.g., ignoring the existence of the first remote locator object 800a). For example, in response to receiving a user input (e.g., user input 805c) pointing to the pause alert option 814-4, the electronic device 500 suppresses future tracking alerts for the first remote locator object 800a (e.g., display of the notification 802) for a predefined time period (e.g., indefinitely, or for the rest of the day, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 5 hours, 10 hours, or 12 hours, the rest of the week, or until the user leaves a particular location (e.g., the user's current location)). In some embodiments, the electronic device 500 suppresses future tracking alerts for a user-defined time period (e.g., for the rest of the day, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 5 hours, 10 hours, or 12 hours, the rest of the week, or until the user leaves a particular location (e.g., the user's current location)).

[0321] exist Fig. 8E , the electronic device 500 receives user input 803 selecting the selectable option 814-1. In some embodiments, as mentioned above, in response to receiving the user input, the device 500 initiates a process for requesting the owner of the first remote locator object 800a to share the location of the first remote locator object 800a with the user of the electronic device 500. For example, Figure 8FAs shown, the electronic device 500 displays a sharing user interface 830 indicating that a request has been sent to the owner of the first remote locator object 800a (e.g., to one or more electronic devices associated with the owner of the first remote locator object 800a (e.g., similar to the electronic device 500)). Figure 8F As shown, the shared user interface 830 optionally includes a representation 832 of a first remote locator object that is tracking the user. In some embodiments, the representation 832 is an icon of the first remote locator object. In some embodiments, the representation 832 is an interactive model of the first remote locator object. For example, user input directed to the representation 832 (e.g., a tap or touch input detected on the touch screen 504) optionally causes the electronic device 500 to self-rotate or rotate the representation 832 based on the user input. In some embodiments, the representation 832 self-rotates, rotates, or is otherwise animated when displayed in the shared user interface 830 (e.g., without user participation (e.g., user input)). In some embodiments, as Figure 8F As shown, the sharing user interface 830 includes a selectable option 854 that can be selected to cause the electronic device 500 to stop displaying the sharing user interface 830 (eg, navigate back and / or redisplay the display). Fig. 8E information user interface 810).

[0322] In some embodiments, when the electronic device 500 sends a request to the owner of the first remote locator object 800a to share the location of the first remote locator object 800a with the user of the electronic device 500, the second electronic device associated with the owner of the first remote locator object 800a optionally presents a notification of the sharing request to the owner. For example, the second electronic device displays a lock screen user interface (e.g., similar to a lock screen user interface) displayed via a display (e.g., a touch screen) of the second electronic device. Fig. 8A In some embodiments, if the user of the second electronic device (e.g., the owner of the first remote locator object 800a) approves the sharing request (e.g., by selecting an accept / approve option associated with the sharing request), the location of the first remote locator object 800a becomes known to the electronic device 500. For example, as described below, the location of the first remote locator object 800a becomes easily trackable and / or viewable by the user of the electronic device 500.

[0323] In some embodiments, when the location of the first remote locator object 800a is shared with the user of the electronic device 500, the tracking alert (e.g., such as notification 802) is no longer displayed on the electronic device 500 (e.g., as long as the location of the first remote locator object 800a remains shared with the user of the electronic device 500). In some embodiments, after the request to share the location of the first remote locator object 800a is approved, the first remote locator object 800a is added to the user's application for tracking and finding items (e.g., such as the item finding application described in method 700 above), and is optionally displayed on the user interface of the application as an item being tracked by the electronic device 500 (such as previously displayed in the user interface of the application). Figure 6B In some embodiments, if the request to share the location of the first remote locator object 800a with the user of the electronic device 500 is not approved by the owner of the first remote locator object 800a, the first remote locator object 800a remains unknown to the electronic device 500.

[0324] Figures 8G to 8N An exemplary embodiment of displaying a tracking notification of an unknown remote locator object that is associated with an owner who is not a member of a predefined user group that includes the user of the electronic device 500 is illustrated. As described above, in some embodiments, when the corresponding remote locator object is following the user of the electronic device 500 and the owner of the corresponding remote locator object is a member of a predefined user group (e.g., a family account) that includes the user of the electronic device 500, the electronic device 500 enables the user to request the owner of the corresponding remote locator object to share the location of the corresponding remote locator object with the user. For example, as described above with reference to FIG. 8D to FIG. 8E As discussed, the electronic device 500 displays a request sharing option (e.g., 814-1). As discussed below, in some embodiments, if the owner of the corresponding remote locator object is not a member of a predefined user group that includes the user of the electronic device 500, the electronic device 500 abandons enabling the user to request sharing from the owner of the corresponding remote locator object.

[0325] Figure 8G The electronic device 500 is illustrated presenting a lock screen user interface 804. In some embodiments, a second remote locator object 800b (e.g., similar to the first remote locator object 800a described above) is at or near the location of the electronic device 500. For example, Figure 8G, the location of the second remote locator object 800b is at or near (e.g., within a first threshold distance (discussed above) of the location) associated with the electronic device 500. In some embodiments, the user of the electronic device 500 is unaware of the presence of the second remote locator object 800b at the location of the electronic device 500. As shown in the map view 820, the second remote locator object 800b and the electronic device 500 are optionally located on Street A.

[0326] like Figure 8H , the electronic device 500 and the second remote locator object 800b have optionally moved together further along Street A and past First Avenue. In some embodiments, as discussed above, the electronic device 500 detects that the location of the second remote locator object 800b is the same as or within a first threshold distance of the location of the user of the electronic device 500. Additionally or alternatively, for example, the electronic device 500 detects that the electronic device 500 and the second remote locator object 800b have moved together beyond the threshold distance discussed above. In some embodiments, as discussed above, Figure 8H As indicated by the advancement of the time bar in , the electronic device 500 determines that the second remote locator object 800b has been moving with the electronic device 500 for less than a threshold amount of time. Fig.8I In, as reference Figure 8C Similarly discussed, the first remote locator object 800a and the electronic device 500 are still both located at the same location (eg, relative to the location of the second remote locator object 800b when the electronic device 500 last polled the second remote locator object 800b), as shown in FIG. Figure 8C , but the second remote locator object 800b and the electronic device 500 have not been together for more than the threshold amount of time. Therefore, the electronic device 500 has not yet generated a notification of tracking.

[0327] In some embodiments, when the electronic device 500 determines that the location of the second remote locator object 800b has been at or within a first threshold distance of the user location for more than a threshold amount of time, the electronic device 500 generates a notification 802, such as Figure 8J As shown and as referenced above Fig.8D In some embodiments, the electronic device 500 displays the notification 802 in the lock screen user interface 804, such as Figure 8JIn some embodiments, notification 802 indicates to the user that the owner of the second remote locator object can see the location of the second remote locator object. In some embodiments, the owner of the second remote locator object 800b and the user of the electronic device 500 are not members of the same predefined user group. For example, as previously discussed above, the predefined user group is a family account (e.g., a shared account) that does not include both the owner of the second remote locator object 800b and the user of the electronic device 500. Figure 8J As shown, notification 802 optionally hides (e.g., does not include) personal information of the owner of the second remote locator object, such as the object's label and the owner's name. Instead, notification 802 indicates that the remote locator object of the unnamed person is following the location of the user of device 500.

[0328] exist Figure 8J In the example, the electronic device 500 receives a user input 803 for selecting the notification 802. In some embodiments, in response to receiving the user input, the electronic device 500 displays an information user interface 810, such as Figure 8K As shown and referenced above Fig. 8E Similar to what is discussed. Figure 8K As shown, in some embodiments, the information user interface 810 includes a map 812 indicating the current location of the second remote locator object 800b that is tracking the user. For example, the map 812 includes a representation of the second remote locator object 800b located at a location on the map corresponding to the current location of the second findable item 800b (e.g., on Street A passing First Avenue), as shown. In some embodiments, the information user interface 810 includes selectable options 814-2 to 814-4 for performing functions for the second remote locator object 800b that is tracking the user, as previously discussed and as discussed in more detail below.

[0329] As discussed above, the user of electronic device 500 and the owner of second searchable item 800b are optionally not members of the same predefined user group. FIG. 8E to FIG. 8D As discussed, the electronic device 500 displays a request sharing option (eg, Fig. 8E In some embodiments, because the owner of the second remote locator object 800b and the user of the electronic device 500 are not both members of the predefined user group, Figure 8K One or more of the criteria are not met. Figure 8K As shown, the information user interface 810 does not include a request to share option (e.g., does not include a previously Fig. 8EFor example, the user of the electronic device 500 cannot request the owner of the second remote locator object 800b to share the location of the second remote locator object 800b with the user.

[0330] In some embodiments, the information user interface 810 includes selectable options 814-2, 814-3, and 814-4. Figure 8K The selectable options 814-2, 814-3 and 814-4 correspond to Fig. 8E The selectable options 814-2, 814-3 and 814-4 in the above reference Fig. 8E Similarly, in some embodiments, selectable option 814-2 may be selected to initiate the process of disabling the second remote locator object 800b. In some embodiments, selectable option 814-3 may be selected to cause the remote locator object to emit an audible sound to enable the user to find the second remote locator object 800b. In some embodiments, selectable option 814-4 may be selected to allow the user to ignore the second remote locator object 800b (e.g., in the above description with respect to Fig. 8E in a similar process as described above).

[0331] exist Figure 8K In the embodiment, the electronic device 500 receives a user input 803 selecting the disable option 814-2. In some embodiments, in response to receiving the user input, the electronic device 500 displays a user interface 840, such as Figure 8L In some embodiments, the user interface 840 displays a representation 842 of a second remote locator object (e.g., as described above with reference to Fig. 8E In some embodiments, the user interface 840 includes instructions for disabling the second remote locator object. For example, the representation 842 is optionally an animation illustrating steps for disassembling and / or disabling the second remote locator object (e.g., optionally removing the battery of the remote locator object). In some embodiments, in response to receiving the remote locator object, the user interface 840 includes instructions for disabling the second remote locator object. Figure 8K In response to user input 803, the electronic device 500 deactivates the second remote locator object 800b (eg, causes the second remote locator object 800b to enter a sleep state, power off, and / or enter a low power mode), such as Figure 8L Selection of selectable option 844 optionally causes electronic device 500 to stop displaying user interface 840 (e.g., and redisplay Figure 8K information user interface 810).

[0332] Alternatively, in Figure 8MIn the example of FIG. 8 , the electronic device 500 receives user input 803 selecting the play sound option 814-3 in the information user interface 810. In some embodiments, in response to receiving the user input, the electronic device 500 displays a user interface 850, such as Figure 8N In some embodiments, the user interface 850 displays a representation 852 of a second remote locator object (e.g., similar to Figure 8L The representation 842 and / or Figure 8F In some embodiments, as described above with reference to Fig. 8E Similarly, the electronic device 500 causes the second remote locator object 800b to emit an audible sound that allows a user of the electronic device to locate the second remote locator object 800b, such as Figure 8N As shown. Figure 8N As shown, user interface 850 also includes selectable options 854-855. In some embodiments, selection of selectable option 855 causes the second remote locator object 800b to emit an audible sound a second time (e.g., and / or a third, fourth, or fifth time). Selection of selectable option 854 optionally causes the electronic device 500 to stop displaying user interface 850 (e.g., and redisplay the Figure 8M information user interface 810).

[0333] 9A to 9E is an example based on FIG. 8A to FIG. 8N Flowchart of method 900 of displaying a notification of being tracked by an unknown remote locator object in some embodiments of the present disclosure. Method 900 is optionally performed at an electronic device (such as device 100, device 300, device 500), as described above with reference to Figure 1A to Figure 1B , Figures 2 to 3 , FIG. 4A to FIG. 4B and FIG. 5A to FIG. 5H Some operations in method 900 are optionally combined, and / or the order of some operations is optionally changed.

[0334] As described below, method 900 provides a way to display a notification that an unknown remote locator object is being tracked. The method reduces the cognitive burden on the 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.

[0335] In some embodiments, method 900 is performed at an electronic device (e.g., electronic device 500) that communicates with one or more wireless antennas, a display generation component (e.g., a touch screen display 504), and one or more input devices. For example, the electronic device is a mobile device (e.g., a tablet device, a smart phone, a media player, or a wearable device) that includes a touch screen and wireless communication circuitry, or a computer that includes one or more of a keyboard, a mouse, a trackpad, a touch screen, and wireless communication circuitry. In some embodiments, the one or more wireless antennas have one or more characteristics of the one or more wireless antennas in method 700. In some embodiments, the display generation component has one or more characteristics of the display generation component in method 700. In some embodiments, the one or more input devices have one or more characteristics of the one or more input devices in method 700.

[0336] In some embodiments, a first searchable item (e.g., a remote locator object) associated with a user other than the user of the electronic device (such as Fig. 8A When the location of the first remote locator object 800a) in FIG. 8 is near a location associated with a user of the electronic device (902a), such as Fig. 8A , based on determining that the first searchable item satisfies one or more corresponding criteria (including a criterion that is satisfied when the location of the first searchable item and a location associated with a user of the electronic device have recently moved together) (e.g., when the location of the first searchable item is within a threshold distance (e.g., 0.1 m, 0.2 m, 0.5 m, 0.8 m, 1 m, 1.2 m, 1.5 m, 2 m, 5 m, 10 m, 20 m, or 40 m) from the current location of the electronic device, as shown in map view 820 in FIG. 1 , as shown in map view 820 in FIG. 1 , based on determining that the first searchable item satisfies one or more corresponding criteria (including a criterion that is satisfied when the location of the first searchable item and a location associated with a user of the electronic device have recently moved together) (e.g., when the location of the first searchable item is within a threshold distance (e.g., 0.1 m, 0.2 m, 0.5 m, 0.8 m, 1 m, 1.2 m, 1.5 m, 2 m, 5 m, 10 m, 20 m, or 40 m) from the current location of the electronic device, as shown in FIG. 1 FIG. 8B to FIG. 8C ), the electronic device displays (902b) via the display generation component an alert user interface object indicating the presence of the first searchable item at a location associated with the user of the electronic device, such as Fig.8DDisplay of the tracking notification 802 shown. In some embodiments, the first searchable item is a device having a battery, one or more wireless antennas, and a processor that enables the device to be used as a remote locator object when associated with another physical object (e.g., a handbag, wallet, backpack, suitcase, car, or key collection), and the other physical object is associated with a user other than the user of the electronic device. In some embodiments, the first searchable item is configured to transmit the location data of the first searchable item to the electronic device (e.g., wirelessly, such as via Bluetooth, RF, IR, NFC, and / or Wi-Fi). In some embodiments, the first searchable item is associated with a name or tag that can be identified on an electronic device (e.g., an electronic device of a user associated with (e.g., owning) the first searchable item and / or a second electronic device). In some embodiments, the first searchable item has one or more characteristics of the searchable item in method 700. In some embodiments, the electronic device cannot access the location of the first searchable item, so that the electronic device cannot display information associated with the location of the first searchable item on the electronic device. For example, the user of the electronic device cannot actively access (e.g., via an item finder application running on the electronic device) information associated with the location of the first findable item, including viewing the location of the first findable item in a user interface of the item finder application (e.g., a map user interface). In some embodiments, the item finder application has one or more characteristics of the item finder application in method 700. In some embodiments, one or more corresponding criteria are met when the electronic device detects that the user of the electronic device (and / or the electronic device) and the first findable item have recently (e.g., within the past 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 25 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, or 5 hours) been within a threshold distance of each other and have moved together (e.g., moved while not becoming separated by more than the threshold distance) a particular distance (e.g., 1m, 2m, 5m, 10m, 15m, 20m, 30m, 35m, or 40m) and / or have not been stationary for at least a second threshold amount of time (e.g., 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, or 2 hours).

[0337] In some embodiments, one or more corresponding criteria are satisfied when the electronic device detects that the first searchable item has moved with the electronic device over a particular distance. In some embodiments, the first searchable item communicates with the electronic device such that the electronic device detects that the location of the first searchable item has recently moved with a location associated with the electronic device. In some embodiments, in response to detecting that the first searchable item and a user of the electronic device (and / or the electronic device) have recently been moving together, the electronic device displays and / or generates a notification or visual alert indicating that the first searchable item has recently moved with the user of the electronic device and / or that the first searchable item is not associated with the user of the electronic device. In some embodiments, an alert user interface object is displayed on a home screen of the electronic device (e.g., such as a reference screen). Figure 4A In some embodiments, the display of the alert user interface object is accompanied by audible (e.g., ringtone or chime) and / or tactile (e.g., vibration) feedback.

[0338] In some embodiments, while displaying the alert user interface object, the electronic device receives (902c) a first input directed to the alert user interface object (e.g., corresponding to a selection of the alert user interface object) via one or more input devices, such as Fig.8D Selection input 803 is shown directed toward notification 802. For example, the electronic device receives a tap input, a click input (e.g., via a mouse or trackpad in communication with the electronic device), and / or a hover input (e.g., where a user's hand is maintained over a portion of the electronic device such as the display generating component, and / or a pinch gesture is provided (e.g., where an index finger and thumb of the user's hand make contact) at a location of a display generating component associated with a displayed alert user interface object (e.g., which is displaying the alert user interface object).

[0339] In some embodiments, in response to receiving the first input, the electronic device initiates (902d) a process of requesting a user associated with the first searchable item to share the location of the first searchable item with a user of the electronic device, such as displaying an information user interface 810 including a request to share option 814-1, such as Fig. 8EAs shown. For example, the electronic device displays a user interface associated with a request to share the loca...
