[0074] The following description sets forth exemplary methods, parameters, and the like. It should be recognized, however, that such description is not intended as a limitation on the scope of the present disclosure, but is instead presented as an illustration of the exemplary embodiments.

[0075] There is a need for electronic devices that provide efficient methods and interfaces for providing clock faces. For example, there is a need for devices that enable intuitive and efficient methods for displaying clock faces that include simulated emitted light. For another example, there is a need for devices that enable intuitive and efficient methods for displaying clock faces that include astronomical objects. For another example, there is a need for devices that enable intuitive and efficient methods for displaying clock faces with adjustable time indications. For another example, there is a need for devices that enable intuitive and efficient methods for displaying clock faces with multiple calendar systems. For another example, there is a need for devices that enable intuitive and efficient methods for displaying clock faces with animated numbers. Such techniques can reduce the cognitive burden on a user accessing a clock face, thereby increasing productivity. Further, such techniques can reduce processor and battery power that would otherwise be wasted on redundant user inputs.

Figure 17 is a flow diagram illustrating a method for displaying a clock user interface in a color based on a selected color in accordance with some embodiments. Figures 16A to 16I The user interface in FIG. 5A is used to illustrate the processes described below, including Figure 17 the processes in FIG. 5B.

[0082] Figures 18A to 18Q An example clock user interface including animated lines is illustrated in accordance with some embodiments. Figure 19 is a flow diagram illustrating a method for displaying a clock user interface including animated lines in accordance with some embodiments. Figures 18A to 18Q The user interface in FIG. 6A is used to illustrate the processes described below, including Figure 19 the processes in FIG. 6B.

[0083] The processes described below, by various techniques, enhance the operability of devices and make user-device interfaces more efficient (e.g., by helping to provide appropriate inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating / interacting with the device) including by providing improved visual feedback to users, reducing the number of inputs required to perform an operation, providing additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls, performing an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input, and / or additional techniques. These techniques also reduce power usage and improve battery life by enabling users to use devices faster and more efficiently.

[0084] Further, in methods described herein in which one or more steps depend on one or more conditions having been met, it should be understood that the method can be repeated in multiple iterations such that, over the course of the iterations, all of the conditions that determine steps in the method have been met in different iterations of the method. For example, if a method requires performing a first step if a condition is met, and performing a second step if the condition is not met, one of ordinary skill will appreciate that the recited steps can be repeated until both the condition is met and the condition is not met (in no particular order). Thus, a method that is described as having one or more steps that depend on one or more conditions having been met can be rewritten as a method that is repeated until every condition recited in the method has been met. However, this need not require a system or computer-readable medium to recite that the system or computer-readable medium contains instructions for performing the conditional operations based on the satisfaction of the corresponding one or more conditions, and thus is able to determine whether the possible conditions have been met without having to explicitly repeat the steps of the method until all of the conditions that determine steps in the method have been met. One of ordinary skill in the art will also appreciate that, similar to a method having conditional steps, a system or computer-readable storage medium can repeat the steps of a method multiple times as necessary to ensure that all of the conditional steps have been performed.

[0085] Although the following description uses the terms "first," "second," etc. to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by the terms. In some embodiments, these terms are used to distinguish one element from another. For example, a first touch can be named a second touch and a second touch can be named a first touch without departing from the scope of the various described embodiments. In some embodiments, the first touch and the second touch are two separate references to the same touch. In some embodiments, the first touch and the second touch are both touches, but they are not the same touch.

[0086] The terminology used in the description herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used in the description of the various described embodiments and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will also be understood that the term "and / or" as used herein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. It will be further understood that the terms "comprises" and / or "comprising," when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups thereof.

[0087] The term "if can be construed to mean "when" or "upon" or "in response to determining" or "in response to detecting," depending on the context. Similarly, the phrase "if it is determined" or "if [a stated condition or event] is detected" is construed to mean "upon determining" or "in response to determining" or "upon detecting [the stated condition or event]" or "in response to detecting [the stated condition or event]," depending on the context.

[0088] Embodiments of electronic devices, user interfaces for such devices, and associated processes for using such devices are described herein. In some embodiments, the device is a portable communications device, such as a mobile telephone, that also contains other functions, such as PDA and / or music player functions. Exemplary embodiments of portable multifunction devices include, without limitation, the iPhone®, iPod Touch® devices from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California ® devices, the iPod Touch® devices, and the iPad® devices from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California ® devices, the iPod Touch® devices, and the iPad® devices from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California ®Device. Other portable electronic devices, optionally with touch-sensitive surfaces (e.g., touch screen displays and / or touch pads), are, optionally, used in some embodiments. It should also be understood that, in some embodiments, the device is not a portable communication device, but is a desktop computer with a touch- sensitive surface (e.g., a touch screen display and / or a touch pad). In some embodiments, the electronic device is a computer system (e.g., via wireless

[0089] In the discussion that follows, an electronic device that includes a display and a touch-sensitive surface is described. It should be understood, however, that the electronic device optionally includes one or more other physical user-interface devices, such as a physical keyboard, a mouse, and / or a joystick.

[0090] The device typically supports a variety of applications, such as one or more of the following: a drawing application, a presentation application, a word processing application, a website creation application, a disk authoring application, a spreadsheet application, a game application, a telephone application, a video conferencing application, an e-mail application, an instant messaging application, a workout support application, a photo management application, a digital camera application, a digital video camera application, a web browsing application, a digital music player application, and / or a digital video player application.

[0091] Various applications 1126 are, optionally, executed on the device to, for example, implement aspects of the applications 1126 and / or to interact with a user of the device. Additionally or alternatively, various applications 1126 can execute on one or more other computing devices (e.g., as a server, a device of a different type, or the like) to implement aspects of the applications 1126 and / or to interact with a user of the device.

[0092] Attention is now directed towards embodiments of portable devices with touch-sensitive displays. Figure 1Ais a block diagram illustrating portable multifunction device 100 having touch-sensitive display system 112, in accordance with some embodiments. Touch- sensitive display 112 is sometimes called a "touch screen" for convenience and is sometimes known as a "touch-sensitive display system." Device 100 includes memory 102 (which optionally includes one or more computer-readable storage mediums), memory controller 122, one or more processing units (CPUs) 120, peripherals interface 118, RF circuitry 108, audio circuitry 110, speaker 111, microphone 113, input / output (I / O) subsystem 106, other input control devices 116, and external port 124. Device 100 optionally includes one or more optical sensors 164. Device 100 optionally includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165 for detecting intensity of contacts on device 100 (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface such as touch- sensitive display system 112 of device 100). Device 100 optionally includes one or more tactile output generators 167 for generating tactile outputs on device 100 (e.g., generating tactile outputs on a touch-sensitive surface such as touch- sensitive display system 112 of device 100 or touchpad 355 of device 300). These components optionally communicate over one or more communication buses or signal lines 103.

[0093] As used in this specification and claims, the term "intensity" of contact on a tactile surface refers to the force or pressure (force per unit area) of a contact (e.g., finger contact) on a tactile surface, or to a substitute (alternative) for the force or pressure of a contact on a tactile surface. The intensity of contact has a range of values ​​that includes at least four different values ​​and more typically hundreds of different values ​​(e.g., at least 256). The intensity of 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 tactile surface are optionally used to measure the force at different points on the tactile surface. In some embodiments, force measurements from multiple force sensors are combined (e.g., weighted average) to determine the estimated contact force. Similarly, the pressure-sensitive tip of a stylus is optionally used to determine the pressure of the stylus on the tactile surface. Alternatively, the size and / or variation of the contact area detected on the touch-sensitive surface, the capacitance and / or variation of the touch-sensitive surface near the contact, and / or the resistance and / or variation of the touch-sensitive surface near the contact may optionally be used as substitutes 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 an 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 an 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 user input allows the user to access additional device functions that would otherwise be inaccessible to the user on a smaller device with limited physical space, which is used (e.g., on a touch-sensitive display) to display an indication and / or receive user input (e.g., via a touch-sensitive display, touch-sensitive surface, or physical / mechanical controls, such as knobs or buttons).

[0094] As used in the specification and claims, the term "tactile output" refers to physical displacement of a device relative to a previous positioning of the device by a user with the user's sense of touch, physical displacement of a component (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface) of a device relative to another component (e.g., a housing) of the device, or displacement of the component relative to a center of mass of the device that will be detected by a user with the user's sense of touch. For example, in situations where the device or the component of the device is in contact with a user- sensitive surface (e.g., a finger, palm, or other portion of a user's hand), tactile outputs generated by physical displacement of the device or its component will be interpreted by the user as tactile sensations corresponding to a perceived change in physical characteristics of the device or its component. For example, movement of a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch- sensitive display or trackpad) is optionally interpreted by a user as a "down click" or "up click" of a physical button even if there is no physical button in physical contact with the touch-sensitive surface. In some cases, a user will feel a tactile sensation such as an "down click" or "up click," even if there is no physical actuator to physically click in response to the user's input. As another example, movement of a touch-sensitive surface is optionally interpreted by a user as a change in tactile sensation on the touch-sensitive surface, even if there is no change in the physical characteristics of the touch-sensitive surface. Such interpretations are typically provided by a processor (e.g., a processor of a mobile device) executing one or more software tiers or a combination of software and hardware layers (e.g., drivers, libraries, operating system, or application programs) stored on the device. For example, the tactile sensations perceived by a user can be determined or inferred based on the signals received from the touch-sensitive surface that are interpreted by the processor. In some cases, the tactile sensations perceived by a user can be determined or inferred based on the signals received from the touch-sensitive surface that are interpreted by the processor and then modified by one or more software layers or a combination of software and hardware layers (e.g., drivers, libraries, operating system, or application programs) stored on the device.

[0095] It should be appreciated that device 100 is only one example of a portable multifunctional device, and that device 100 optionally has more or fewer components than shown, optionally combines two or more components, or optionally has a different configuration or arrangement of the components. The various components illustrated for device 100 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. Figure 1A The various components illustrated for device 100 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.

[0096] Memory 102 optionally includes high-speed random access memory and also optionally includes non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic disk storage devices, flash memory devices, or other non-volatile solid-state storage devices. Memory controller 122 optionally controls access to memory 102 by other components of device 100.

[0097] The peripheral interface 118 can be used to couple the device's input and output peripherals to the CPU 120 and memory 102. The one or more processors 120 run or execute various software programs (such as computer programs (e.g., including instructions) and / or instruction sets) stored in the memory 102 to perform various functions of the device 100 and process data. In some embodiments, the peripheral interface 118, CPU 120, and memory controller 122 are optionally implemented on a single chip, such as the chip 104. In some other embodiments, they are optionally implemented on separate chips.

[0098] RF (Radio Frequency) circuit 108 receives and transmits RF signals, also known as electromagnetic signals. RF circuit 108 converts electrical signals into electromagnetic signals and vice versa, and communicates with communication networks and other communication devices via electromagnetic signals. RF circuit 108 optionally includes well-known circuitry 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, Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) cards, memory, etc. RF circuit 108 optionally communicates wirelessly with networks and other devices, such as the Internet (also known as the World Wide Web (WWW)), intranets, and / or wireless networks (such as cellular phone networks, wireless local area networks (LANs), and / or metropolitan area networks (MANs)). RF circuit 108 optionally includes well-known circuitry for detecting near-field communication (NFC) fields, such as via near-field communication radio components. Wireless communication may optionally employ 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, Pure Data (EV-DO), HSPA, HSPA+, Dual-Unit 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), and Wi-Fi (e.g., IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE...). 802.11n and / or IEEE 802.11ac), Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), Wi-MAX, email protocols (e.g., Internet Messaging 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 with Extended Utility (SIMPLE), Instant Messaging and Presence Service (IMPS)) and / or Short Message Service (SMS), or any other suitable communication protocol that has not been developed as of the date of this document submission.

[0103] Touchscreen 112 has a touch-sensitive surface, sensor, or sensor array that accepts input from a user based on tactile and / or haptic contact. Touchscreen 112 and display controller 156 (along with any associated modules and / or instruction set in memory 102) detect contact on touchscreen 112 (and any movement or interruption of that contact) and translate the detected contact into interaction with user interface objects (e.g., one or more soft keys, icons, web pages, or images) displayed on touchscreen 112. In an exemplary embodiment, the contact point between touchscreen 112 and the user corresponds to the user's finger.

[0104] Touchscreen 112 optionally employs LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) technology, LPD (Light Emitting Polymer Display) technology, or LED (Light Emitting Diode) technology, but other display technologies are used in other embodiments. Touchscreen 112 and display controller 156 optionally employ any of a variety of touch sensing technologies now known or to be developed hereafter, along with other proximity sensor arrays or other elements for determining one or more points of contact with touchscreen 112, to detect contact and any movement or interruption thereof.

[0105] In some embodiments of the touchscreen 112, the touch-sensitive display optionally resembles a 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 incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. However, the touchscreen 112 displays visual output from the device 100, while the touch-sensitive touchpad does not provide visual output.

[0106] The touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of touch screen 112 is described in the following applications: (1) U.S. Patent Application No. 11 / 381,313, "Multipoint Touch Surface Controller," filed May 2, 2006; (2) U.S. Patent Application No. 10 / 840,862, "Multipoint Touchscreen," filed May 6, 2004; (3) U.S. Patent Application No. 10 / 903,964, "Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices," filed July 30, 2004; (4) U.S. Patent Application No. 11 / 048,264, "Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices," filed January 31, 2005; (5) U.S. Patent Application No. 11 / 038,590, "Mode-Based Graphical User Interfaces For Touch Sensitive Input Devices," filed January 18, 2005; (6) U.S. Patent Application No. 11 / 228,758, "Virtual Input Device Placement On A Touch Screen User Interface," filed September 16, 2005; (7) U.S. Patent Application No. 11 / 228,700, "Operation Of A Computer With A Touch Screen Interface," filed September 16, 2005; (8) U.S. Patent Application No. 11 / 228,737, "Activating Virtual Keys Of A Touch-Screen Virtual Keyboard," filed September 16, 2005; and (9) U.S. Patent Application No. 11 / 367,749, "Multi-Functional Hand-Held Device," filed March 3, 2006. All of these applications are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.

[0107] Touch screen 112 optionally has a video resolution in excess of 100 dpi. In some embodiments, the touch screen has a video resolution of about 160 dpi. The user optionally makes contact with touch screen 112 using any suitable object or appendage, such as a stylus, finger, and so forth. In some embodiments, the user interface is designed to work primarily with finger-based contacts and gestures, which can be less precise than stylus-based input due to the larger area of contact of a finger on the touch screen. In some embodiments, the device translates the rough finger- based input into a precise pointer / cursor position or command for performing the action that the user desires.

[0108] In some embodiments, in addition to the touch screen, device 100 optionally also includes a touchpad. In some embodiments, the touchpad is a touch-sensitive area, located on the device, that does not display visual output.

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

[0110] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more optical sensors 164. Figure 1AAn optical sensor coupled to optical sensor controller 158 in I / O subsystem 106 is shown. The optical sensor 164 optionally includes charge-coupled device (CCD) or complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) photoreceptor. The optical sensor 164 receives light from the environment, projected through one or more lenses, and converts the light to data representing an image. In conjunction with imaging module 143 (also called a camera module), the optical sensor 164 optionally captures still images or video. In some embodiments, an optical sensor is located on the back of device 100, opposite the touch screen display 112 on the front of the device, so that the touch screen display is enabled for use as a viewfinder for still image and / or video image acquisition. In some embodiments, an optical sensor is located on the front of the device so that the user's image is, optionally, obtained for video conferencing while the user views the other video conference participants on the touch screen display. In some embodiments, the position of the optical sensor 164 can be changed by the user (e.g., by rotating the lens and the sensor in the device housing so that a single optical sensor 164 is used together with the touch screen display as a viewfinder for still and / or video image acquisition as described in U.S. Patent Application Publication US 2005 / 02515498, now U.S. Patent No. 7,294,991, "Hybrid Electronic / Mechanical Camera Moduie," filed 18 November 2004, and U.S. Patent No. 7,604,351, "Apparatus and / or Devices and / or Methods Entailing

[0111] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more depth camera sensors 175. Figure 1A A depth camera sensor coupled to depth camera controller 169 in I / O subsystem 106 is shown. The depth camera sensor 175 receives data from the environment to create a 3-D model representing a physical, real-world environment in 3-D space from a viewpoint (e.g., the depth camera sensor).

In some embodiments, the depth camera sensor is located on the front of device 100 so that the user's image is, optionally, obtained for video conferencing while the user views the other video conference participants on the touch screen display, and to capture images with depth data for a selfie. In some embodiments, the depth camera sensor 175 is located on the back of device 100, or on the back and the front of the device 100. In some embodiments, the position of the depth camera sensor 175 can be changed by the user (e.g., by rotating the lens and the sensor in the device housing so that the depth camera sensor 175 is used in tandem with the touch screen display as a viewfinder for both video conferencing and still and / or video image acquisition.

[0112] In some embodiments, a depth map (e.g., a depth map image) contains information (e.g., values) related to the distance of objects in a scene from a viewpoint (e.g., a camera, an optical sensor, a depth camera sensor). In one embodiment of a depth map, each depth pixel defines the location in the Z-axis of the viewpoint of its corresponding two-dimensional pixel. In some embodiments, a depth map is composed of pixels, where each pixel is defined by a value (e.g., 0 to 255). For example, a "0" value represents a pixel located the farthest in the "three-dimensional" scene from the viewpoint (e.g., a camera, an optical sensor, a depth camera sensor), and a "255" value represents a pixel located the closest in the "three-dimensional" scene from the viewpoint. In other embodiments, a depth map represents the distance between objects in a scene and the plane of the viewpoint. In some embodiments, a depth map includes information about the relative depth of various features of an object of interest in the field of view of the depth camera (e.g., the relative depth of the eyes, nose, mouth, ears of a user's face). In some embodiments, a depth map includes information that enables a device to determine the contours of an object of interest in the z-direction.

[0113] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165. Figure 1A Contact intensity sensor(s) 165 are coupled to intensity sensor controller 159 in I / O subsystem 106. Contact intensity sensor(s) 165 optionally include one or more piezoresistive strain gauges, capacitive force sensors, electric force sensors, piezoelectric force sensors, optical force sensors, capacitive touch-sensitive surfaces, or other intensity sensors (e.g., sensors used to measure the force (or pressure) of contact on a touch-sensitive surface). Contact intensity sensor(s) 165 receive contact intensity information (e.g., pressure information or a proxy for pressure information) from the environment. In some embodiments, at least one contact intensity sensor is collocated with, or coiresident in, a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touch- sensitive display system 112). In some embodiments, at least one contact intensity sensor is located on the back of device 100, opposite touch screen display 112 which is located on the front of device 100.

[0114] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more proximity sensors 166. Figure 1AA proximity sensor 166 coupled to the peripherals interface 118 is shown. The proximity sensor 166 is optionally coupled to the contact intensity sensor 165. The proximity sensor 166 optionally performs as described in U.S. Patent Application Nos. 11 / 241,839, "Proximity Detector In Handheld Device"; 11 / 240,788, "Proximity Detector In Handheld Device"; 11 / 620,702, "Using Ambient Light Sensor To Augment Proximity Sensor Output"; 11 / 586,862, "Automated Response To And Sensing Of User Activity In Portable Devices"; and 11 / 638,251, "Methods And Systems For Automatic Configuration Of Peripherals," which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.

[0115] The device 100 optionally also includes one or more tactile output generators 167. Figure 1A The tactile output generators 167 are coupled to the haptic feedback controller 161 in the I / O subsystem 106. The tactile output generators 167 optionally include one or more electroacoustic devices such as speakers or other audio components and / or electromechanical devices such as a motor, a solenoid, an electroactive polymer, a piezoelectric actuator, an electrostatic actuator or other tactile output generating component (e.g., a component for converting electrical signals into tactile outputs on the device). The contact intensity sensor 165 receives tactile feedback generation instructions from the haptic feedback module 133 and generates tactile outputs on the device 100 that are capable of being felt by a user of the device 100. In some embodiments, at least one tactile output generator is collocated with, or proximate to, a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch- sensitive display system 112) and, optionally, generates a tactile output by moving the touch-sensitive surface vertically (e.g., in / out of a surface of a device 100) or laterally (e.g., back and forth in the same plane as a surface of the device 100). In some embodiments, at least one tactile output generator sensor is located on the back of a device 100, opposite to where contact intensity sensor 165 or touch screen display 112 is located on the front of the device 100.

[0116] The device 100 may optionally also include one or more accelerometers 168. Figure 1A An accelerometer 168 coupled to a peripheral device interface 118 is shown. Alternatively, the accelerometer 168 may be coupled to an input controller 160 in an I / O subsystem 106. The accelerometer 168 may optionally perform as described in the following U.S. Patent Publications: 20050190059, entitled "Acceleration-based Theft Detection System for Portable Electronic Devices" and 20060017692, entitled "Methods And Apparatuses For Operating A Portable DeviceBased On An Accelerometer," both of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. In some embodiments, information is displayed on a touchscreen display in portrait or landscape view based on analysis of data received from one or more accelerometers. Device 100 may optionally include, in addition to the accelerometer 168, a magnetometer and a GPS (or GLONASS or other global navigation system) receiver for acquiring information about the location and orientation (e.g., portrait or landscape) of device 100.

[0117] 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. Furthermore, in some embodiments, memory 102 ( Figure 1A ) or 370 ( Figure 3 Storage device / global internal state 157, such as Figure 1A and Figure 3 As shown in the figure. Device / global internal state 157 includes one or more of the following: active application state, which indicates which applications (if any) are currently active; display state, indicating what applications, views or other information occupy various areas of the touch screen display 112; sensor state, including information obtained from various sensors and input control devices 116 of the device; and position information relating to the device's position and / or orientation.

[0118] The operating system 126 (e.g., Darwin, RTXC, LINUX, UNIX, OS X, iOS, WINDOWS, or an embedded operating system such as VxWorks) includes various software components and / or drivers for controlling and managing general system tasks (e.g., memory management, storage device control, power management, etc.) and facilitates wireless communications between various hardware and software components.

[0119] The communication module 128 facilitates communication with other devices over one or more external ports 124 and also includes various software components for handling data received by the RF circuitry 108 and / or the external port 124. The external port 124 (e.g., Universal Serial Bus (USB), FIREWIRE, etc.) is adapted for coupling to other devices, such as wireless earphones, headphones, speakers, video headphones, audio headphones, video headphones, handheld ® The communication module 128 facilitates communication with other devices over one or more external ports 124 and also includes various software components for handling data received by the RF circuitry 108 and / or the external port 124. The external port 124 (e.g., Universal Serial Bus (USB), FIREWIRE, etc.) is adapted for coupling to other devices, such as wireless earphones, headphones, speakers, video headphones, audio headphones, video headphones, handheld

[0120] The contact / motion module 130 optionally detects contact with the touch screen 112 (in conjunction with the display controller 156) and other touch-sensitive devices (e.g., a touchpad or physical click wheel). The contact / motion module 130 includes various software components for performing various operations related to detection of contact, such as determining if contact has occurred (e.g., detecting a finger-down event), determining an intensity of the contact (e.g., the force or pressure of the contact or a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact), determining if movement has occurred (e.g., detecting a finger-dragging event), and determining if an object making contact has been moved (e.g., detecting a finger-lifting event or a contact break event). The contact / motion module 130 receives contact data from the touch screen 112. Determining movement of the contact point includes determining speed (magnitude), velocity (magnitude and direction), and / or acceleration (a change of magnitude and / or direction) of the movement of the contact point, which is represented by a series of contact data points. These operations are, optionally, applied to single contact events (e.g., one-finger events) or to multiple simultaneous contact events (e.g., multi-touch events).

[0121] In some embodiments, the contact / motion module 130 determines whether an operation has been performed by the user (e.g., determines whether the user has "clicked" an icon) using a set of one or more intensity thresholds. In some embodiments, at least a subset of the intensity thresholds are determined from software parameters (e.g., the intensity thresholds are not determined by activation thresholds of particular physical actuators, and can be adjusted without changing the physical hardware of the device 100). For example, without changing the hardware of a touchpad or touch screen display, mouse "click" thresholds can be changed within the range of a predefined threshold. Additionally, in some implementations, the user of the device is provided with software settings for adjusting one or more of the intensity thresholds of a set of intensity thresholds (e.g., by adjusting individual intensity thresholds and / or by adjusting multiple intensity thresholds at once with a system-wide click on a "strength" parameter).

[0122] The contact / motion module 130 optionally detects contact input by a user. Different gestures on the touch-sensitive surface have different motion profiles (e.g., different patterns of detected motion, timing, and / or intensity of contacts). Thus, a gesture is optionally detected by detecting a particular motion profile. For example, detecting a finger tap gesture includes detecting a finger down event followed by a finger up event at the same location (or substantially the same location) as the finger down event (e.g., at the location of an icon). As another example, detecting a finger swipe gesture on the touch-sensitive surface includes detecting a finger down event followed by one or more finger drag events, and subsequently detecting a finger up (lift off) event.

[0123] The graphics module 132 includes various known software components for rendering and displaying graphics on the touch screen 112 or other display, including components for changing the visual impact (e.g., brightness, transparency, saturation, contrast, or other visual property) of graphics that are displayed. As used herein, the term "graphics" includes any object that can be displayed to a user, including without limitation text, web pages, icons (such as user-interface objects including soft keys), digital images, videos, animations, and the like.

[0124] In some embodiments, the graphics module 132 stores data representing graphics to be used. Each graphic is optionally assigned a corresponding code. The graphics module 132 receives, from applications etc., one or more codes specifying graphics to be displayed, and so generates screen image data for output to the display controller 156, along with, if applicable, coordinate data and other graphical property data.

[0125] Haptic feedback module 133 includes various software components for generating instructions used by tactile output generator 167 to produce tactile outputs at one or more locations on device 100 in response to user interactions with device 100.

[0126] Text input module 134, which is optionally a component of graphics module 132, provides soft keyboards for entering text in various applications (e.g., contacts 137, e-mail 140, IM 141, browser 147, and any other application that needs text input).

In some embodiments, an instant messaging module 141 is used instead of the email client module 140 to send links to specific online videos. Further descriptions of online video applications can be found in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 936,562, filed 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 December 31, 2007, entitled “Portable Multifunction Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Playing Online Videos,” the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

[0166] Each of the modules and applications described above corresponds to an executable set of instructions for performing one or more functions described above and the methods described in this patent application (e.g., computer-implemented methods and other information processing methods described herein). These modules (e.g., instruction sets) need not be implemented as separate software programs (such as computer programs (e.g., including instructions)), processes, or modules; therefore, various subsets of these modules may optionally be combined or otherwise rearranged in various embodiments. For example, a video player module may optionally be combined with a music player module into a single module (e.g., Figure 1A (e.g., video and music player module 152). In some embodiments, memory 102 optionally stores subgroups of the aforementioned modules and data structures. Additionally, memory 102 optionally stores other modules and data structures not described above.

[0167] In some embodiments, device 100 is a device for which operation of a predefined set of functions on the device is performed exclusively through touch screen and / or touchpad. By using a touch screen and / or touchpad as the primary input control devices for operating device 100, the number of physical input control devices (e.g., push buttons, dials, etc.) on device 100 is optionally reduced.

[0168] The predefined set of functions performed exclusively through touch screen and / or touchpad optionally includes navigation between user interfaces. In some embodiments, a touchpad, when touched by a user, navigates device 100 from any user interface displayed on device 100 to a main menu, home menu, or root menu. In such embodiments, the touchpad is used to implement a "menu button." In some other embodiments, the menu button is a physical push button or other physical input control device, rather than a touchpad.

[0169] Figure 1B FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating exemplary components for event handling in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments, memory 102 (e.g., memory 102 of device 100) Figure 1A ) or memory 370 (e.g., memory 370 of device 100) Figure 3 ) includes event classifier 170 (e.g., in operating system 126) and corresponding applications 136-1 (e.g., any of applications 137-151, 155, 380-390 described above).

[0170] Event classifier 170 receives event information and determines an application 136-1 and an application view 191 of application 136-1 to which to deliver the event information. Event classifier 170 includes event monitor 171 and event dispatcher module 174. In some embodiments, applications 136-1 include application internal state 192 that indicates one or more current application views that are 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) are currently active, and application internal state 192 is used by event classifier 170 to determine an application view 191 to which to deliver event information.

[0171] In some embodiments, application internal state 192 includes additional information such as one or more of: resume information to be used when the application 136-1 resumes execution, user interface state information indicating that information is being displayed or is ready for display by application 136-1, a state queue for enabling the 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.

[0172] The event monitor 171 receives event information from the peripherals interface 118. The event information includes information about sub-events (e.g., user touches on touch- sensitive display 112, motion information based on accelerometer(s) 168, proximity sensor 166, and / or other sensors coupled to the peripherals interface 118). The peripherals interface 118 transfers information it receives from the I / O subsystem 106 or sensors coupled to the peripherals interface 118, including information from a touch-sensitive display 112 or a touch-sensitive surface.

[0173] In some embodiments, the event monitor 171 sends a request to the peripherals interface 118 at predetermined intervals. In response, the peripherals interface 118 transfers event information. In other embodiments, the peripherals interface 118 transfers event information only when there is significant event (e.g., when an input is received that is above a predetermined noise threshold and / or that exceeds a predetermined duration).

[0174] In some embodiments, the event classifier 170 also includes a hit view determination module 172 and / or an active event recognizer determination module 173.

[0175] When the touch-sensitive display 112 displays more than one view, the hit view determination module 172 provides a software process for determining where within one or more views a sub-event has occurred. A view is made up of controls and other elements that a user is able to see on the display.

[0176] Another aspect of a user interface associated with an application is a set of views, also sometimes referred to herein as application views or user interface windows, in which information is displayed and touch-based gestures occur. The application view (of the respective application) in which a touch is detected optionally corresponds to a programmatic level within the application's programmatic or view hierarchy. For example, the lowest level view in which a touch is detected is optionally referred to as the hit view, and the set of events that are recognized as being correctly inputted is optionally determined based at least in part on the hit view of an initial touch that initiates a touch-based gesture.

[0177] The hit view determination module 172 receives information related to sub-events of a touch-based gesture. When an application has multiple views that are organized in a hierarchy, the hit view determination module 172 identifies the hit view as the lowest view in the hierarchy that should be handled for a sub-event. In most cases, the hit view is the lowest level view in which an initiating sub-event (e.g., the first sub-event in a sequence of sub-events that form an event or potential event) occurs. Once the hit view is identified by the hit view determination module 172, the hit view typically receives all sub-events related to the same touch or input source for which it was identified as the hit view.

[0178] The active event recognizer determination module 173 determines which view or views within the view hierarchy should receive a particular sub-event sequence. In some embodiments, the active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that only the hit view should receive a particular sub-event sequence. In other embodiments, the active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that all views that include a physical location that is touched by the touch sub-event are active participants and thus should receive the particular sub-event sequence. In yet other embodiments, even though a touch sub-event is completely confined to a region associated with one particular view, other views in the hierarchy are determined to be active participants in the sub-event sequence and thus should receive the particular sub-event sequence.

[0179] The event distributor module 174 distributes event information to event recognizers (e.g., event recognizers 180). In embodiments that include the active event recognizer determination module 173, the event distributor module 174 delivers event information to the event recognizers determined by the active event recognizer determination module 173. In some embodiments, the event distributor module 174 stores event information in an event queue that is retrieved by the respective event receivers 182.

[0180] In some embodiments, the operating system 126 includes the event classifier 170. Alternatively, the application 136-1 includes the event classifier 170. In yet another embodiment, the event classifier 170 is a stand-alone module, or is part of another module stored in the memory 102, such as the contact / motion module 130.

[0181] In some embodiments, application 136-1 includes a plurality of event handlers 190 and one or more application views 191, each of which includes instructions for handling touch events that occur within a respective view of the user interface of the application. Each application view 191 of application 136-1 includes one or more event recognizers 180. Typically, a respective application view 191 includes multiple event recognizers 180. In other embodiments, one or more of event recognizers 180 are part of a standalone module that is a higher level object from which application 136-1 inherits methods and other attributes, such as a user interface toolkit or widget library. In some embodiments, a respective event handler 190 includes one or more of a data updater 176, an object updater 177, a GUI updater 178, and / or event data 179 received from event sorter 170. Event handler 190 optionally utilizes or calls for use of the data updater 176, object updater 177, or GUI updater 178 to update the application internal state 192. Alternatively, one or more of event handler 190, data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178, can be included in one or more components of application 136-1 and / or external to application 136-1.

[0182] A respective event recognizer 180 receives event information (e.g., event data 179) from event sorter 170 and, based on the event information, identifies events. Event recognizers 180 include event receivers 182 and event comparators 184. In some embodiments, event recognizers 180 also include at least a subset of metadata 183 and event delivery instructions 188 (which optionally include sub-event delivery instructions).

[0183] Event receiver 182 receives event information from event sorter 170. The event information includes information about a sub-event, such as a touch or touch movement. Depending on the sub-event, the event information also includes other appropriate information, such as position, in some embodiments, the event information also includes velocity and direction of the sub-event. In some embodiments, the event includes a device rotation (e.g., from a portrait orientation to a landscape orientation, or vice versa) and the event information includes corresponding information about the current device orientation (also called device attitude).

[0184] Event comparator 184 compares event information to predefined event or sub-event definitions and determines an event or sub-event, or a status of an event or sub-event, based on the comparison. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 includes event definitions 186. Event definitions 186 contain definitions of events (e.g., predefined sequences of sub-events), such as event 1 (187-1), event 2 (187-2), and others. In some embodiments, sub-events in an event (187) include, for example, touch begin, touch end, touch move, touch cancel, and multi-touch. In one example, the definition of event 1 (187-1) is a double tap on a displayed object. For example, a double tap includes a first touch (touch begin) on a displayed object for a predetermined duration, a first liftoff (touch end) for a predetermined duration, a second touch (touch begin) on a displayed object for a predetermined duration, and a second liftoff (touch end) for a predetermined duration. In another example, the definition of event 2 (187-2) is a drag on a displayed object. For example, a drag includes a touch (or contact) on a displayed object for a predetermined duration, movement of the touch on the touch-sensitive display 112, and liftoff of the touch (touch end). In some embodiments, an event also includes information for one or more associated event handlers 190.

[0185] In some embodiments, event definitions 187 include definitions of events for respective user interface objects. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which user interface object is associated with a sub-event. For example, in an application view that displays three user interface objects on touch-sensitive display 112, when a touch is detected on touch-sensitive display 112, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which of the three user interface objects is associated with the touch (sub-event). If each displayed object is associated with a respective event handler 190, event comparator uses the results of the hit test to determine which event handler 190 should be activated. For example, event comparator 184 selects the event handler associated with the sub-event and the object that triggered the hit test.

[0186] In some embodiments, the definition of a respective event (187) also includes a deferred action that delays delivery of event information until it has been determined that a sequence of sub-events does or does not correspond to an event type of the event recognizer.

[0187] When a respective event recognizer 180 determines that a sub-event sequence does not match any event in the event definitions 186, the respective 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.

[0188] In some embodiments, the respective event recognizers 180 include metadata 183 having configurable properties, flags, and / or lists that indicate how the event delivery system should perform sub-event delivery to the active event recognizers. In some embodiments, the metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and / or lists that indicate how the event recognizers interact or are able to interact with each other. In some embodiments, the 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.

[0189] In some embodiments, when one or more particular sub-events of an event are recognized, the respective event recognizer 180 activates an event handler 190 associated with the event. In some embodiments, the respective event recognizer 180 delivers event information associated with the event to the event handler 190. Activating an event handler 190 is distinct from sending (and deferring sending) sub-events to a respective hit view. In some embodiments, the event recognizer 180 throws a token associated with the recognized event, and an event handler 190 associated with the token picks up the token and performs a predefined process.

[0190] In some embodiments, the event delivery instructions 188 include sub-event delivery instructions that deliver event information about a sub-event without activating an event handler. Instead, the sub-event delivery instructions deliver the event information to an event handler associated with the sub-event sequence or to the active view. The event handler associated with the sub-event sequence or with the active view receives the event information and performs a predetermined process.

[0191] In some embodiments, data updater 176 creates and updates data used in application 136-1. For example, data updater 176 updates the telephone number used in contacts module 137, or stores a video file used in a video player module. In some embodiments, object updater 177 creates and updates objects used in application 136-1. For example, object updater 177 creates a new user interface object or updates the position of a user interface object. GUI updater 178 updates the GUI. For example, GUI updater 178 prepares display information and sends it to graphics module 132 for display on the touch screen.

[0192] In some embodiments, event handler 190 includes data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178, or has access to them and utilizes them as needed. In some embodiments, data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178 are included in a single module of the application 136-1 or application view 191. In other embodiments, they are included in two or more modules of the application or application view.

[0193] It should be understood that the above discussion regarding event handling of user touches on touch-sensitive displays also applies to other forms of user inputs to the multi-function device 100 not all of which are touch-based. For example, mouse movements and mouse button presses, optionally coordinated with single or multi-key keyboard presses or holds, are also user inputs that are optionally used to initiate events. One or more buttons (typically, but not always, coupling for keys) optionally part of the multi-function device 100 are used for inputting or toggling input to the multi-function device 100. Other examples of user input include, without limitation, contact movements such as taps, drags, and swipes; mouse movements and mouse button presses; touch panel movements and touch panel button presses; voice inputs; detected eye movements; biological inputs; and / or any combination thereof.

[0194] Figure 2A portable multifunction device 100 with a touch screen 112 in accordance with some embodiments is illustrated. The touch screen optionally displays one or more graphics within user interface (UI) 200. In this embodiment, as well as in other embodiments described below, a user is capable of interacting with one or more graphics in the graphics by making contact with one or more contact 202 (not drawn to scale in the figure) or one or more styluses 203 (not drawn to scale in the figure) with a portion of the user's body, such as a finger, thumb or pen. In some embodiments, the contact includes one or more taps, one or more swipes (from left to right, right to left, upward and / or downward) and / or a rolling of a finger (from right to left, left to right, upward and / or downward) that has made contact with the device 100. In some implementations or in some situations, an inadvertent or brief contact with a graphic does not select the graphic. For example, a swipe that sweeps across an application icon optionally does not select the corresponding application when the gesture is a tap.

[0195] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more physical buttons, such as "home" or menu button 204. As described previously, the menu button 204 is optionally used to navigate to any application 136 in a set of applications that is optionally executed by the device 100. Alternatively, the menu button is implemented as a soft key in a GUI displayed by the touch screen.

[0196] In some embodiments, device 100 includes touch screen 112, menu button 204, push button 206 for powering the device on / off and placing the device in a sleep state, one or more volume adjustment buttons 208, user identity module (SIM) card slot 210, headset jack 212, and docking / charging external port 124. Push button 206 is, optionally, used to turn the power on / off on the device by depressing the button and holding the button in the depressed state for a predefined time interval; to lock the device by depressing the button and releasing the button before the predefined time interval has elapsed; and / or to unlock or initiate an unlock process via a user

[0197] Figure 3This is a block diagram of an exemplary multifunctional device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface according to some embodiments. Device 300 need not be portable. In some embodiments, device 300 is a laptop, desktop computer, tablet computer, multimedia player device, navigation device, educational device (such as a children's learning toy), gaming system, or control device (e.g., a home controller or industrial controller). Device 300 typically includes one or more processing units (CPUs) 310, one or more network or other communication interfaces 360, memory 370, and one or more communication buses 320 for interconnecting these components. The communication bus 320 optionally includes circuitry (sometimes referred to as a chipset) that interconnects system components and controls communication between system components. Device 300 includes an input / output (I / O) interface 330 with a display 340, which is typically a touchscreen display. The I / O interface 330 also optionally includes a keyboard and / or mouse (or other pointing device) 350 and a touchpad 355, and a haptic output generator 357 for generating haptic output on device 300 (e.g., similar to the reference above). Figure 1A The described tactile output generator 167), sensor 359 (e.g., optical sensor, accelerometer, proximity sensor, touch sensor and / or contact intensity sensor (similar to the above reference)) Figure 1A The described contact strength sensor 165). Memory 370 includes high-speed random access memory, such as DRAM, SRAM, DDR RAM, or other random access solid-state memory devices; and optionally includes non-volatile memory, such as one or more disk storage devices, optical disk storage devices, flash memory devices, or other non-volatile solid-state storage devices. Memory 370 optionally includes one or more storage devices located remotely from CPU 310. In some embodiments, memory 370 stores information related to portable multifunction device 100. Figure 1A The memory 370 stores programs, modules, and data structures similar to those in the memory 102 of the portable multifunction device 100, or subsets thereof. Additionally, the memory 370 optionally stores additional programs, modules, and data structures not present in the memory 102 of the portable multifunction device 100. For example, the memory 370 of the device 300 optionally stores a drawing module 380, a rendering module 382, ​​a word processing module 384, a website creation module 386, a disk editing module 388, and / or a spreadsheet module 390, while the portable multifunction device 100 (… Figure 1A The memory 102 may optionally not store these modules.

[0198] Figure 3Each of the above identified elements can optionally be stored on one or more of the previously mentioned memory devices, and corresponds to a set of instructions for performing a function described above. The above identified modules or programs (i.e., set of instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs, procedures, or modules, and thus various subsets of these modules can optionally be combined or otherwise re-arranged in various embodiments. In some embodiments, memory 370 optionally stores a subset of the modules and data structures identified above. Furthermore, memory 370 optionally stores additional modules and data structures not described above.

[0199] Attention is now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces ("UI") that are optionally implemented on portable multifunction devices 100.

[0223] It should be noted that, Figure 4A The illustrated icon labels are merely examples. For instance, the icon 422 for the video and music player module 152 is labeled "Music" or "Music Player." Other labels for the various application icons are optional. In some embodiments, the label for a particular application icon includes the name of the application that corresponds to the particular application icon. In some embodiments, the label for a particular application icon is different than the name of the application that corresponds to the particular application icon.

[0224] Figure 4B A device (e.g., device 100) is illustrated having a touch-sensitive surface 451 (e.g., touchpad or touch screen 112) that is separate from the display 450 (e.g., Figure 3 A device (e.g., device 100) is illustrated having a touch-sensitive surface 451 (e.g., touchpad or touch screen 112) that is separate from the display 450 (e.g., Figure 3FIG. 1A shows an example user interface that is displayed on a device 100 (e.g., an example user interface that is displayed on a device 300). Device 300 also optionally includes one or more contact intensity sensors (e.g., one or more sensors of sensors 359) for detecting intensity of contacts on touch-sensitive surface 451 and / or one or more tactile output generators 357 for generating tactile outputs for a user of device 300.

[0225] Although some of the examples that follow will be given with reference to inputs on touch screen display 112 (in which a touch- sensitive surface and a display are combined), in some embodiments, the device detects inputs on a touch- sensitive surface that is separate from the display, as shown in FIG. 1C. In some embodiments, the touch- sensitive surface (e.g., 451 in FIG. 1C) has a major axis (e.g., 453 in FIG. 1C) that corresponds to a major axis (e.g., 452 in FIG. 1C) of the display (e.g., 450 in FIG. 1C). According to these embodiments, the device detects contacts (e.g., 460 and 462 in FIG. 1C) with the touch- sensitive surface at locations that correspond to respective locations on the display (e.g., 460 corresponds to 468 and 462 corresponds to 470 in FIG. 1C). In this way, when the touch- sensitive surface (e.g., 451 in FIG. 1C) is separate from the display (e.g., 450 in FIG. 1C) of a multifunction device, user inputs (e.g., contacts 460 and 462 and movements thereof) detected by the device on the touch- sensitive surface are used by the device to manipulate the user interface on the display. It should be understood that similar methods are optionally used for other user interfaces described herein. Figure 4B Figure 4B Figure 4B Figure 4B Figure 4B Figure 4B Figure 4B Figure 4B

[0227] Figure 5A ​​​​​​​​​An example personal electronic device 500 is illustrated. The device 500 includes a body 502. In some embodiments, the device 500 can include some or all of the features described with respect to the devices 100 and 300 (e.g., Figures 1A to 4B ). In some embodiments, the device 500 has a touch-sensitive display screen 504, hereinafter referred to as a touchscreen 504. Alternatively, or in addition to the touchscreen 504, the device 500 has a display and a touch-sensitive surface. As with the devices 100 and 300, in some embodiments the touchscreen 504 (or touch-sensitive surface) optionally includes one or more intensity sensors to detect intensity of contacts (e.g., touches) on the touchscreen 504. The one or more intensity sensors of the touchscreen 504 (or touch-sensitive surface) can provide output data that represents the intensity of a touch. The user interface of the device 500 can respond to touches based on the intensity of the touches, which means that different intensity touches can invoke different user interface operations on the device 500.

[0228] Example techniques for detecting and processing touch intensity are found in, for example, International Patent Application Serial No. PCT / US2013 / 040061 entitled "Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Displaying User Interface Objects Corresponding to an Application," filed May 8, 2013, published as WIPO Patent Publication No. WO / 2013 / 169849; and International Patent Application Serial No. PCT / US2013 / 069483 entitled "Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Transitioning Between Touch Input to Display Output Relationships," filed November 11, 2013, published as WIPO Patent Publication No. WO / 2014 / 105276, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

[0229] In some embodiments, device 500 has one or more input mechanisms 506 and 508. Input mechanisms 506 and 508, if included, can be physical. Examples of physical input mechanisms include a push button and a rotatable mechanism. In some embodiments, device 500 has one or more attachment mechanisms. Such attachment mechanisms, if included, can allow device 500 to be attached to, for example, a hat, glasses, earrings, a necklace, a shirt, a jacket, a bracelet, a watchband, a necklace, pants, a belt, shoes, a purse, a backpack, and the like. These attachment mechanisms allow a user to wear device 500.

[0230] Figure 5B An example personal electronic device 500 is depicted. In some embodiments, device 500 can include some or all of the components described with respect to Figure 1A , Figure 1B and Figure 3 . Device 500 has bus 512 which operatively couples one or more computer processors 516 and memory 518 to I / O section 514. I / O section 514 can be connected to display 504, which can have touch-sensitive component 522 and optionally intensity sensor 524 (e.g., contact intensity sensor). Additionally, I / O section 514 can connect with communication unit 530 for receiving application and operating system data, using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, near field communication (NFC), cellular, and / or other wireless communication techniques. Device 500 can include input mechanism 506 and / or 508. For example, input mechanism 506 is optionally a rotatable input device or a depressible input device, as well as a rotatable input device. In some examples, input mechanism 508 is optionally a button.

[0231] In some examples, input mechanism 508 is optionally a microphone. Personal electronic device 500 optionally includes various sensors, such as GPS sensor 532, accelerometer 534, directional sensor 540 (e.g., compass), gyroscope 536, motion sensor 538, and / or a combination thereof, all of which can be operatively connected to I / O section 514.

[0232] Memory 518 of personal electronic device 500 can include one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums for storing computer-executable instructions which, when executed by one or more computer processors 516, for example, can cause the computer processors to perform the techniques described below, including processes 700, 900, 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, and 1900 (described below). Figure 7 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 , Figure 13 , Figure 15 , Figure 17 and Figure 19 A computer-readable storage medium can be any medium that can tangibly contain or store computer-executable instructions for use by or in connection with an instruction execution system, apparatus, or 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 can 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 discs based on CD, DVD, or Blu-ray technology, and persistent solid-state storage such as flash memory, solid-state drives, etc. Personal electronic devices are not limited to... Figure 5B It can be the components and configurations, or it can include other components or additional components in a variety of configurations.

[0233] As used herein, the term "power indication" refers optionally to the power indication in devices 100, 300, and / or 500 ( Figure 1A , Figure 3 and Figures 5A to 5B A user-interactive graphical user interface object displayed on a screen. For example, images (e.g., icons), buttons, and text (e.g., hyperlinks) optionally each constitute a functional representation.

[0234] As used herein, the term "focus selector" refers to an input element used to indicate the current portion of a user interface with which a user is interacting. In some specific implementations that include a cursor or other positional 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), the cursor is positioned on a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a...). Figure 3 The touchpad 355 or Figure 4B When an input (e.g., a press input) is detected on the touch-sensitive surface 451 of the display, the specific user interface element is adjusted according to the detected input. This applies to touchscreen displays (e.g., those capable of direct interaction with user interface elements on a touchscreen display) that enable direct interaction with user interface elements on the touchscreen display. Figure 1A The touch-sensitive display system 112 or Figure 4AIn some implementations of the touch screen 112 in Figures 1A-1C, contacts detected on the touch screen act as a "focus selector," such that when an input (e.g., a press input by a contact) is detected on the touch screen display at a location of a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider, or other user interface element), the particular user interface element is adjusted according to the detected input. In some implementations, focus is moved from one region of a user interface to another region of the user interface without the corresponding movement of the cursor or movement of the contact on the touch screen display (e.g., the focus moves to a different button when an arrow key is pressed without the cursor or contact moving on the touch screen display); in these implementations, the focus selector moves according to the movement of focus between different regions of the user interface. Regardless of the particular form that the focus selector takes, the focus selector is generally user-controlled, such that the focus selector is moved across or within the user interface (or the contact on the touch screen display is moved) to indicate user interest in a user interface element (or the contact on the touch screen display) that the user interface element (or the contact) corresponds to. For example, the position of a focus selector (e.g., a cursor, a contact, or a selection box) over a respective button when a press input is detected on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touchpad or a touch screen) indicates the user's interest in activating the respective button (as opposed to other user interface elements displayed on a display of the device).

[0235] As used in the specification and claims, the term "feature strength" of a contact refers to a feature of the contact that is based on one or more strengths of the contact. In some embodiments, the feature strength is based on a predefined number of strength samples or a set of strength samples that are acquired during a predetermined period of time (e.g., 0.05 seconds, 0.1 seconds, 0.2 seconds, 0.5 seconds, 1 second, 2 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds) with respect to a predefined event (e.g., after detecting the contact, before detecting liftoff of the contact, before or after detecting the contact starting to move, before detecting the end of the contact, before detecting an increase in strength of the contact, and / or before detecting a decrease in strength of the contact). The feature strength of the contact is optionally based on one or more of: a maximum value of the strength of the contact, a mean value of the strength of the contact, a median value of the strength of the contact, a value at the 10% of the strength of the contact, a half maximum value of the strength of the contact, a 90% maximum value of the strength of the contact, etc. In some embodiments, the duration of the contact is used in determining the feature strength (e.g., when the feature strength is the average of the strength 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 with a feature strength that does not exceed the first threshold results in a first operation, a contact with a feature strength that exceeds the first strength threshold but does not exceed the second strength threshold results in a second operation, and a contact with a feature strength that exceeds the second threshold results in a third operation. In some embodiments, the comparison between the feature strength and the one or more thresholds is used to determine whether one or more operations are to be performed (e.g., whether to perform a respective operation or to forego performing a respective operation) rather than to determine whether to perform a first operation or a second operation.

[0236] As used herein, an "installed application" refers to a software application that has been downloaded onto an electronic device (e.g., devices 100, 300, and / or 500) and is ready to be launched (e.g., become open) on the device. In some embodiments, a downloaded application becomes an installed application with an installer that extracts program portions from the downloaded software package and integrates the extracted portions with the operating system of the computer system.

[0237] As used herein, the term "open application" or "application in execution" refers to a software application that has state information retained (e.g., as part of the device / global internal state 157 and / or application internal state 192). An open or application in execution is optionally any of the following types of applications:

[0238] • an active application that is currently displayed on a display screen of a device that is using the application;

[0239] • a background application (or background process) that is not currently displayed but one or more processes of the application are being processed by one or more processors; and

[0240] • a suspended or hibernating application that is not running but has state information stored in memory (respectively, volatile and non-volatile) that can be used to resume execution of the application.

[0241] As used herein, the term "closed application" refers to a software application that does not have state information maintained (e.g., state information for the closed application is not stored in memory of the device). Thus, closing an application includes stopping and / or removing application processes of the application and removing state information of the application from memory of the device. Generally, opening a second application while in a first application does not close the first application. The first application becomes a background application when the second application is displayed and the first application stops being displayed.

[0242] Attention is now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces ("UI") and associated processes implemented on an electronic device, such as device 100, device 300, or device 500.

[0243] Figures 6A to 6K Example clock user interfaces that simulate emitted light are illustrated in accordance with some embodiments. The user interfaces in these figures are used to illustrate the processes described below, including Figure 7 the processes in FIG. 6.

[0244] Figure 6A A computer system 600 (e.g., a smart watch) with a display 602 is illustrated. In some embodiments, the computer system 600 and / or the display 602 are in a sleep or low power mode. In some embodiments, the display 602 is dimmed and / or disabled. The computer system 600 includes a rotatable and pressable input mechanism 604. In some embodiments, the computer system 600 includes one or more features of device 100, device 300, and / or device 500. In some embodiments, the computer system 600 is a tablet, a phone, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, and / or a camera. In some embodiments, the inputs described below can be replaced with alternative inputs, such as press inputs and / or rotation inputs received via the rotatable and pressable input mechanism 604.

[0245] In response to detecting an input, such as a tap input, a wrist-lift input, a press input received via the rotatable and pressable input mechanism 604, and / or a rotation input received via the rotatable and pressable input mechanism 604, the computer system 600 displays Figure 6B the clock user interface 606 shown.

[0246] In some embodiments, the clock user interface 606 is displayed on a tablet, a phone (e.g., a smartphone), a laptop, and / or a desktop computer. In some embodiments, the clock user interface 606 is displayed on a home screen, a lock screen, and / or a wake screen of a tablet, a phone, a laptop, and / or a desktop computer.

[0247] The clock user interface 606 includes visual effect 606a, analog emission light 606b, hour hand region 606c, visual effect 606d, dial element region 606e, visual effect 606f, analog emission light 606g, minute hand region 606h, visual effect 606i, dial element region 606j, visual effect 606k, dial element region 6061, shadow 606m, complex function block 606n associated with a current temperature, background 606o, dial element region 606p, and second hand region 606s. The clock user interface 606 represents a 12-hour analog clock face, and includes hour hand region 606c, minute hand region 606h, and second hand region 606s, which represent the positions of the respective clock hands. Specifically, analog emission light 606b and analog emission light 606g emit (or appear to emit) from hour hand region 606c and minute hand region 606h, respectively, to provide an indication of the positions of the clock hands. In the illustrated embodiment, the hour hand region 606c and the minute hand region 606h are not actually displayed in the clock user interface 606. Rather, the clock hands that emit analog emission light 606b and analog emission light 606g are displayed. For example, rather than analog emission light 606b appearing to emit from a region of the clock user interface 606, the hour hand is displayed at the position of the hour hand region 606c. Figure 6B In the illustrated embodiment, the hour hand and the minute hand are not actually displayed in the hour hand region 606c and the minute hand region 606h, respectively. In some embodiments, the clock hands that emit analog emission light 606b and analog emission light 606g are displayed. For example, rather than analog emission light 606b appearing to emit from a region of the clock user interface 606, the hour hand is displayed at the position of the hour hand region 606c.

[0248] In Figure 6B the clock user interface 606 is shown at 9:11 AM. As such, the hour hand region 606c (e.g., the hour hand) is at the 9 o'clock position and the minute hand region 606h (e.g., the minute hand) is at the 11 minute position. The visual effect 606a of the clock user interface 606 includes analog emission light 606b, which indicates that the hour hand region 606c is at the 9 o'clock position because analog emission light 606b appears to emit from the clockwise edge of the hour hand region 606c. The visual effect 606f of the clock user interface 606 includes analog emission light 606g, which indicates that the minute hand region 606h is at the 11 minute position because analog emission light 606g appears to emit from the counterclockwise edge of the minute hand region 606h.

[0249] While in Figure 6BIn particular embodiments, analog emission light 606b and analog emission light 606g are described as being emitted from the clockwise edge of hour hand region 606c and the counterclockwise edge of minute hand region 606h, respectively, but analog emission light 606b and analog emission light 606g can also be emitted from other edges of hour hand region 606c and minute hand region 606h. In some embodiments, analog emission light 606b is emitted from the counterclockwise edge of hour hand region 606c and analog emission light 606g is emitted from the counterclockwise edge of minute hand region 606h. In some embodiments, analog emission light 606b is emitted from the clockwise edge of hour hand region 606c and analog emission light 606g is emitted from the clockwise edge of minute hand region 606h. In some embodiments, analog emission light 606b is emitted from the counterclockwise edge of hour hand region 606c and analog emission light 606g is emitted from the clockwise edge of minute hand region 606h. Thus, any combination of edges of hour hand region 606c and minute hand region 606h can emit analog emission light 606b and analog emission light 606g, respectively.

[0250] Visual effect 606d is based on the position of analog emission light 606b from hour hand region 606c and the position of hour hand region 606c relative to the position of dial element region 606e (e.g., a time marker). For example, the position of hour hand region 606c is such that analog emission light 606b illuminates dial element region 606e (e.g., a time marker), resulting in visual effect 606d (e.g., the displayed time marker and corresponding shadow). In addition, dial element region 606e (e.g., a time marker) blocks analog emission light 606b and forms shadow 606m. Similarly, visual effect 606i is based on the position of analog emission light 606g from minute hand region 606h and the position of minute hand region 606h relative to the position of dial element region 606j. Thus, the position of minute hand region 606h is such that analog emission light 606g illuminates dial element region 606j, resulting in visual effect 606i. In addition, dial element region 606j blocks analog emission light 606g and forms shadow 606m.

[0251] In some embodiments, analog emission light 606b and analog emission light 606g illuminate the same dial element region, such as dial element region 6061. In this position, dial element region 6061 blocks both analog emission light 606b and analog emission light 606g and forms a shadow based on analog emission light 606b and a shadow based on analog emission light 606g. Thus, visual effect 606k includes two shadows formed by the interaction of dial element region 6061 with analog emission light 606b and analog emission light 606g, which will change as the position of hour hand region 606c and minute hand region 606h changes.

[0252] In some implementations, the minute hand region 606h blocks the analog emitted light 606b. For example, when the minute hand region 606h is closer to the hour hand region 606c (such as near the 12 o'clock position or the 0 minute position), the minute hand region 606h blocks the analog emitted light 606b from being scattered on the clock user interface 606.

[0253] exist Figure 6B In the clock face, the hour hand region 606c includes a cutout 606z, and a portion of the edge of the hour hand region 606c is curved. The curve and cutout of the hour hand region 606c interact with the analog emitted light 606b, such that the analog emitted light 606b appears to be emitted naturally from the curve and cutout of the hour hand region 606c. This enhances the overall appearance of the analog emitted light 606b and the clock user interface 606 by providing the analog emitted light that realistically and clearly indicates the position of the hour hand region 606c, thus helping the user determine the current time of day.

[0254] In some implementations, the hour hand area 606c and the minute hand area 606h have the same color (e.g., black) as the background 606o of the clock user interface 600. Therefore, as described above, the positions of the hour hand area 606c and the minute hand area 606h can be observed based on the analog emitted light 606b and the analog emitted light 606g, thus providing the user with an indication of the current time even if the hour hand area 606c and the minute hand area 606h appear to blend into the background 606o (e.g., the hour or minute hand is not displayed).

[0255] Some areas of the clock user interface 606 that are not illuminated by the analog emitted light 606b and / or analog emitted light 606g (such as user interface area 606p) also have the same color as the background 606o and are not displayed. Therefore, the number of user interface areas illuminated by and / or blocked by the analog emitted light 606b and / or analog emitted light 606g is based on the positions of the hour hand area 606c and the minute hand area 606h. As the positions of the hour hand area 606c and the minute hand area 606h change, the analog emitted light 606b and analog emitted light 606g interact with different user interface areas, causing the user interface areas to be illuminated and shadowed, as discussed further below. Figures 6F to 6K As shown.

[0256] In some embodiments, the user can select whether the simulated emitted light 606b and / or the simulated emitted light 606g interact with the dial element regions 606e, 606j, 6061, and 606p that represent the time markers of the clock user interface 606 (e.g., whether the hour and / or minute markers are displayed and / or visible when in the path of the emitted light). The user can make the selection by selecting a setting or parameter of the clock user interface 606 (e.g., in a settings or edit menu). Thus, the clock user interface 606 can be displayed without any time markers, allowing the simulated emitted light 606b and the simulated emitted light 606g to illuminate the background 606o without interference from the user interface regions representing the time markers.

[0257] In Figure 6B which the simulated emitted light 606b includes a first color and the simulated emitted light 606g includes a second color that is different from the first color. For example, the simulated emitted light 606b can be red and the simulated emitted light 606g is green. In some embodiments, the simulated emitted light 606b and the simulated emitted light 606g are the same color. For example, the clock user interface 606 can be displayed in black and white mode, where the simulated emitted light 606b and the simulated emitted light 606g are both white (or shades of gray).

[0258] In some embodiments, the computer system 600 detects input corresponding to a selection to change the colors of the simulated emitted light 606b and the simulated emitted light 606g and, in response, changes the colors of the simulated emitted light 606b and the simulated emitted light 606g. For example, an option to change the colors of the simulated emitted light 606b and the simulated emitted light 606g from red and green to white can be selected, and the color of the simulated emitted light 606b can be changed from red to white and the color of the simulated emitted light 606g can be changed from green to white.

[0259] In Figure 6B which the simulated emitted light 606b is emitted from the clockwise edge of the hour hand region 606c but not from the counterclockwise edge of the hour hand region 606c. Similarly, the simulated emitted light 606g is emitted from the counterclockwise edge of the minute hand region 606h but not from the clockwise edge of the minute hand region 606h. Thus, because the light emitting edges of the hour hand region 606c and the minute hand region 606h face each other, the simulated emitted light 606b combines (e.g., interacts, merges, and / or overlaps) with the simulated emitted light 606g in the visual effect 606k of the clock user interface 606. In some embodiments, such as in Figures 6I to 6KIn some embodiments, the light-emitting edges of the hour region 606c and the minute region 606h face away from each other, and the simulated emission light 606b and the simulated emission light 606g do not interact or interact minimally.

[0260] In some embodiments, the simulated emission light 606b and / or the simulated emission light 606g do not affect the visual appearance of the complex function block 606m. For example, the simulated emission light 606b and / or the simulated emission light 606g stop or are blocked by the border of the complex function block before reaching the complex function block. In some embodiments, the simulated emission light 606b and / or the simulated emission light 606g are emitted from the display 602 at an angle such that the simulated emission light 606b and / or the simulated emission light 606g do not reach the complex function block 606m. Figure 6B In some embodiments, the simulated emission light 606b and the simulated emission light 606g stop before interacting with the complex function block 606m associated with the current temperature and / or weather application (e.g., at the border of the circular region of the clock user interface). Similarly, the simulated emission light 606b and the simulated emission light 606g stop before interacting with the complex function block of the current UV index and / or any other complex function block displayed in the clock user interface 606. Thus, the simulated emission light 606b and the simulated emission light 606g do not affect the complex function block 606m or other complex function blocks of the clock user interface 606, enabling the user to clearly view the information displayed by the complex function blocks.

[0261] In some embodiments, the computer system 600 changes the complex function block 606m from a complex function block associated with the current temperature and / or weather application to a complex function block associated with another application, such as an exercise application (e.g., in response to user input such as in a clock face editing user interface). Similarly, in some embodiments, the computer system 600 changes some or all of the complex function blocks displayed in the clock user interface 606 to other complex function blocks. Thus, some or all of the complex function blocks displayed in the clock user interface 606 can be associated with applications other than those described herein.

[0262] In some embodiments, the computer system 600 does not display (or stops displaying) the complex function block 606m (and / or one or more of the other complex function blocks displayed in the clock user interface 606) and displays the simulated emission light 606b and the simulated emission light 606g in the region of the clock user interface 606 occupied (or previously occupied) by the complex function block. Figure 6B In some embodiments, the computer system 600 displays the simulated emission light 606b and the simulated emission light 606g in the region of the clock user interface 606 occupied (or previously occupied) by the complex function block (e.g., as illustrated in FIG. 6B). For example, when the complex function block 606m and the other complex function blocks are not displayed in the clock user interface 606, the simulated emission light extends to the edge of the display 602 and is not blocked by the region of the clock user interface 606 occupied by the complex function block. Figure 6B In some embodiments, the computer system 600 displays the simulated emission light 606b and the simulated emission light 606g in the region of the clock user interface 606 occupied by the complex function block (e.g., as illustrated in FIG. 6B). For example, when the complex function block 606m and the other complex function blocks are not displayed in the clock user interface 606, the simulated emission light extends to the edge of the display 602 and is not blocked by the region of the clock user interface 606 occupied by the complex function block.

[0263] In some embodiments, when a complication is not displayed in the clock user interface 606 (or removed from it) (e.g., the computer system 600 stops displaying the complication 606m and / or other complications), the dial element regions 606e, 606j, 6061, and 606p (which represent time markers) occupy different locations on the clock user interface 606 than when the complication is displayed in the clock user interface 606. For example, when the complication is not displayed in the clock user interface 606, the dial element regions 606e, 606j, 6061, and / or 606p occupy at least a portion of the area that was occupied by the complication in the clock user interface 606. Figure 6B Figure 6B

[0264] In some embodiments, the computer system 600 displays the dial element regions 606e, 606j, 6061, and / or 606p such that the analog emission light 606b and the analog emission light 606g do not interact with the dial element regions. Thus, when the dial element regions are displayed in this manner, the analog emission light 606b and the analog emission light 606g can extend to the edges of the clock user interface 606 without being blocked by the dial element regions. In some embodiments, the computer system 600 displays the dial element regions 606e, 606j, 6061, and 606p such that the analog emission light 606b and the analog emission light 606g do not interact with the dial element regions and the complication 606m and other complications are stopped from being displayed, allowing the analog emission light 606b and the analog emission light 606g to extend to the edges of the clock user interface 606 that include at least a portion of the area previously occupied by the complications.

[0265] Figure 6C A conceptual diagram illustrating a view of the computer system 600 and a side perspective view of the clock user interface 606 is shown. The side perspective view includes the background 606o and a plurality of analog light sources on the hour hand region 606c, the light source 606q, and the light source 606r. The light source 606q and the light source 606r produce the analog emission light 606b. Specifically, the light source 606q has an analog height zl relative to the background 606o, and the light source 606r has an analog height z2 relative to the background 606o, where the analog height z2 is different from the analog height zl. Thus, the analog emission light 606b produced by the light source 606q and the light source 606r illuminates the background 606o based on the analog heights zl and z2 to form a realistic scattering of light.

[0266] ​​In some embodiments, light source 606q has (e.g., produces or emits) light of a first color and light source 606r has light of a second color different from the first color. For example, light source 606q includes green light and light source 606r includes white light, such that analog emission light 606b has a more vivid appearance of color because light source 606q appears closer to a user viewing clock user interface 606 and further from background 606o. In some embodiments, light source 606q includes white light and light source 606r can include green light, such that analog emission light 606b has a lighter and brighter appearance because white light is closer to a user viewing clock user interface 606 and further from background 606o.

[0267] In Figure 6D , second hand region 606s advances from a 30 second position (as Figure 6C indicated) to a 0 second position. At this position, second hand region 606s divides analog emission light 606b and analog emission light 606g and prevents analog emission light 606b and analog emission light 606g from interacting and / or combining to form visual effect 606k.

[0268] Second hand region 606s includes edge 606t and edge 606u. Edge 606u is shorter than edge 606t relative to a pivot point 606w of second hand region 606s at the center of clock user interface 606. Additionally, second hand region 606s emits analog emission light 606v of a different color than analog emission light 606b and / or analog emission light 606g around the perimeter of second hand region 606s. This enables a user to distinguish second hand region 606s from analog emission light 606b and analog emission light 606g while dividing and blocking analog emission light 606b and analog emission light 606g.

[0269] When computer system 600 detects a predetermined condition, such as entering a low power state, computer system 600 displays clock user interface 606 including visual effect 606k, as Figure 6E indicated. When entering the low power state, clock user interface 606 ceases display of second hand region 606s, allowing analog emission light 606b and analog emission light 606g to combine to form visual effect 606k.

[0270] Turning to Figure 6F , second hand region 606s advances from a 30 second position (as Figure 6DThe 0-second position is advanced to the 10-second position, as shown. In this position, the second hand region 606s intersects the analog emission light 606b and the analog emission light 606g. Specifically, the second hand region 606s intersects the hour hand region 606h at a point near the center of the clock user interface 606, at which point it blocks some or all of the analog emission light 606g emitted by the hour hand region 606h. However, the second hand region 606s does not intersect the minute hand region 606h farther from the center of the clock user interface 606, and thus the analog emission light 606g is emitted from the user interface 606h near the edge of the clock user interface 606.

[0271] In Figure 6G , the second hand region 606s is advanced from Figure 6F the 10-second position to the 50-second position, as shown. In this position, the second hand region 606s intersects the analog emission light 606b and the analog emission light 606g at different positions. Specifically, the second hand region 606s intersects the hour hand region 606c at a point near the center of the clock user interface 606, at which point it blocks some or all of the analog emission light 606b emitted by the hour hand region 606c. However, the second hand region 606s does not intersect the minute hand region 606h farther from the center of the clock user interface 606, and thus the analog emission light 606b is emitted from the user interface 606c near the edge of the clock user interface 606. Figure 6F

[0272] In Figure 6H , the second hand region 606s is advanced from Figure 6G the 50-second position to the 11-second position, as shown. In this position, the second hand region 606s intersects the analog emission light 606b and the analog emission light 606g between the hour hand region 606c and the minute hand region 606g, and does not directly intersect the hour hand region 606c or the minute hand region 606h. Thus, neither the analog emission light 606b nor the analog emission light 606g is blocked when emitted. Instead, the analog emission light 606b and the analog emission light 606g are blocked at a point between the hour hand region 606c and the minute hand region 606h to prevent the analog emission light 606b and the analog emission light 606g from mixing (e.g., combining).

[0273] Turning to Figure 6I , the clock user interface 606 is shown at a current time of 10:45 in the day. Thus, the hour hand region 606c remains at the 10 o'clock position, while the minute hand region 606h is advanced from Figure 6B and Figures 6D to 6H ​The 11-minute position shown advances to the 45-minute position. In this position, the clockwise edge of the hour hand region 606c that emits analog emission light 606b and the counterclockwise edge of the minute hand region 606h that emits analog emission light 606g face away from each other such that the analog emission light 606b (from the hour hand region 606c) and the analog emission light 606g (from the minute hand region 606h) illuminate each of the time markers of the clock user interface 606 except for the dial element region 606t. Thus, some or all of the time markers of the clock user interface 606 except for the dial element region 606t are displayed. Additionally, the second hand region 606s is positioned between the hour hand region 606c and the minute hand region 606h and thus does not block the analog emission light 606b or the analog emission light 606g.

[0274] In Figure 6J , the second hand region 606s advances from Figure 6I the 45-second position to the 55-second position. In this position, the second hand region 606s now intersects with the visual effect 606a and blocks the analog emission light 606b from the hour hand region 606c. This prevents the analog emission light 606b from interacting with the dial element region 6061 and the dial element regions immediately counterclockwise and clockwise of the dial element region 6061. As such, these dial element regions are not illuminated by the analog emission light 606b from the hour hand region 606c and are not displayed on the clock user interface region 606. However, the analog emission light 606g from the minute hand region 606h is not affected by the second hand region 606s at this time and thus the analog emission light 606g naturally disperses across the clock user interface 606 interacting with several elements of the clock user interface.

[0275] In Figure 6K , the second hand region 606s advances from Figure 6J the 55-second position to the 20-second position. Thus, the second hand region 606s now intersects with the visual effect 606f and blocks the analog emission light 606g from the minute hand region 606h. This prevents the analog emission light 606g from interacting with the dial element region 606j and the dial element regions immediately clockwise of the dial element region 606j. As such, these dial element regions are not illuminated by the analog emission light 606g from the minute hand region 606h and are not displayed on the clock user interface region 606. However, the analog emission light 606b from the hour hand region 606c is not affected by the second hand region 606s at this time and thus the analog emission light 606b naturally disperses across the clock user interface 606 interacting with several elements of the clock user interface.

[0276] From these examples, it will be appreciated that as the hour hand region 606c, the minute hand region 606h, and the second hand region 606s move around the clock user interface 606 corresponding to the current time, the regions of the clock user interface 606 illuminated by the simulated emitted light 606b and the simulated emitted light 606g will change, thereby enabling the user to view the current time.

[0277] Figure 7 FIG. 7 is a flow diagram illustrating a method for displaying a clock user interface including simulated emitted light using a computer system in accordance with some embodiments. The method 700 is performed at a computer system (e.g., 100, 300, 500, or 600) in communication with a display generation component (e.g., a display controller and / or a touch-sensitive display system) and one or more input devices (e.g., buttons, a rotatable input mechanism, a speaker, a camera, a motion detector (e.g., an accelerometer and / or a gyroscope), and / or a touch-sensitive surface). Some operations in method 700 are, optionally, combined, the order of some operations is, optionally, changed, and some operations are, optionally, omitted.

[0278] As described below, method 700 provides an intuitive way to display a clock face including simulated emitted light. This approach reduces the cognitive burden on a user for viewing a clock face including simulated emitted light, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to view a clock face more quickly and efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.

[0279] A computer system (e.g., 600) (e.g., a smart watch, a wearable electronic device, a smart phone, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, or a tablet computer) receives (702), via one or more input devices, a request (e.g., an input, a raise or rotate gesture, a tap gesture (e.g., a tap gesture on a touch-sensitive surface), a voice command, a button press, and / or a rotation of a rotatable input mechanism) to display a clock user interface (e.g., a watch face user interface).

[0280] In some embodiments, the request to display the user interface is received while the display generation component is in a locked state, an inactive state, a low power state, a sleep state, and / or a dimmed state. In some embodiments, the request to display the user interface is received while the display generation component is displaying a home screen or a bounceback user interface (e.g., a user interface including a plurality of selectable objects to launch respective applications). In some embodiments, the request to display the user interface is received while the display generation component is displaying a wake screen, a lock screen, a user interface of an application (e.g., a music application, an email application, or a messaging application), and / or a user interface other than a clock face user interface. In some embodiments, the request to display the user interface is received while the display generation component is displaying a user interface (e.g., a clock face user interface) in a first state (e.g., a locked state, an inactive state, a low power state, a sleep state, and / or a dimmed state). In some embodiments, the request to display the user interface is received while the display generation component is displaying a different clock face user interface (e.g., a clock face user interface other than the clock face user interface in FIG. 1C). In some embodiments, the request to display the user interface is received while the display generation component is displaying a user interface associated with a notification (e.g., a user interface displaying a summary or list of notifications and / or concurrently displaying two or more notifications). Figures 6B to 6K

[0281] ​In response to receiving the request to display the clock user interface, the computer system displays (704), via the display generation component, the clock user interface (e.g., 606). Displaying the clock user interface includes concurrently displaying: a first visual effect portion (706) (e.g., 606a, 606d, 606i, 606f, and / or 606k) that includes simulated emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) that is indicative of a location of a first user interface region (e.g., 606c, 606h, and / or 606s) (e.g., a minute region, a region representing a region occupied by a minute hand, and / or a boundary (e.g., an edge representing a minute hand)) in the clock user interface, where a location and / or shape of the first user interface region is indicative of a current time of day (e.g., a current hour, a current minute, and / or a current second); and a second visual effect portion (708) (e.g., 606a, 606d, 606i, 606f, and / or 606k) (e.g., a visual effect (e.g., a shadow) that is included in, is part of, and / or is formed by the first visual effect portion (or simulated emitted light of the first visual effect portion), or a combination of the simulated emitted light with another simulated emitted light) that is based on a location of the simulated emitted light from the first visual effect portion and a location of the first user interface region relative to a second user interface region (e.g., an element (e.g., a minute marker) of a background, a watch hand, a complication, a time indicator, and / or an analog dial), where the second user interface region is different from the first user interface region. Automatically displaying the user interface, where displaying the user interface includes concurrently displaying the first visual effect portion that includes simulated emitted light that is indicative of a location of a first user interface region in the clock user interface such that a location and / or shape of the first user interface region is indicative of a current time of day and the second visual effect portion that is based on a location of the simulated emitted light from the first visual effect portion and a location of the first user interface region relative to a second user interface region enables the user interface to convey the current time and be displayed without requiring the user to provide further input to configure the user interface (e.g., by manually selecting which region of the user interface should be illuminated by the simulated emitted light, and / or by manually selecting where the second visual effect portion should be located to configure the user interface), thereby performing an operation when a set of conditions has been met without the need for further user input.

[0282] In some embodiments, the clock hand is not displayed and / or not visible in the first user interface region (e.g., 606c, 606h, and / or 606s) (e.g., the first user interface region is the region (e.g., empty region) that the clock hand would occupy in the clock user interface if the clock hand were displayed). In some embodiments, the first user interface region includes a boundary (e.g., an edge of the clock hand). In some embodiments, the first user interface region does not include the clock hand (e.g., only the boundary is visible due to the simulated emission of light). In some embodiments, the first user interface region is dynamic (e.g., capable of moving). In some embodiments, the first user interface region has a static size, shape, and / or length (e.g., the first user interface region does not otherwise change as it moves around the clock user interface). In some embodiments, the first user interface region includes two boundaries (e.g., two edges of the clock hand). In some embodiments, the first user interface region has different locations at different times. In some embodiments, the first user interface region represents a clock hand (e.g., hour hand, minute hand, or second hand) that rotates around a point on the clock user interface to indicate a time (e.g., a current time). In some embodiments, the first user interface region extends a predetermined distance from the point on the clock user interface (e.g., a length of the clock hand). In some embodiments, the first user interface object has a predetermined width. In some embodiments, the first user interface region rotates with a second user interface region (e.g., 606c, 606h, and / or 606s) (e.g., a second watch hand). In some embodiments, the first user interface region spans the second user interface region (e.g., a second watch hand). In some embodiments, the first visual effect portion (e.g., 606a, 606d, 606i, 606f, and / or 606k) is based on a characteristic of the first user interface region (e.g., size, shape, length, and / or width). In some embodiments, the first visual effect portion is based on a location of the first user interface region (e.g., as the first user interface region moves around the clock user interface). In some embodiments, the simulated emission of light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) appears to be emitted from the first user interface region. In some embodiments, the simulated emission of light radiates outward from the first user interface region. In some embodiments, the simulated emission of light radiates a predetermined distance (e.g., when a clock face with artificial barriers such as a circle is selected). In some embodiments, the simulated emission of light appears to be emitted by a portion (e.g., a side) of the first user interface region. In some embodiments, a portion of the first user interface region does not include the simulated emission of light (e.g., a dark side of the boundary).

[0283] In some embodiments, the position and / or shape of the second user interface region (e.g., 606c, 606e, 606h, 606j, 6061, and / or 606s) indicates the current time of day (e.g., the current hour, the current minute, and / or the current second). In some embodiments, the second visual effect portion (e.g., 606a, 606d, 606i, 606f, and / or 606k) is based on the position of the first user interface region (e.g., 606c, 606h, and / or 606s) relative to the position of the third user interface region (e.g., 606c, 606e, 606h, 606j, 6061, 606n, and / or 606s) (e.g., the second hand, the complication, and / or the time indicator). In some embodiments, the second visual effect portion is based on a characteristic (e.g., position, color, shape, size, and / or brightness) of the first user interface region. In some embodiments, the second visual effect portion is based on a characteristic (e.g., color, shape, and / or brightness) of the simulated emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g). In some embodiments, the second visual effect portion includes emitted light (e.g., different from the emitted light of the first visual effect portion) that indicates the position of the second user interface region. In some embodiments, the second visual effect portion is part of the first visual effect portion (e.g., a shadow formed by the time indicator, a stop illumination effect when hitting the complication, and / or a stop illumination effect when intersecting the second hand). In some embodiments, the second visual effect portion is based on the position of the first user interface region and the position of the second user interface region (e.g., a combination of simulated emitted light from each region). In some embodiments, the second visual effect portion is based on an edge of the first user interface region (e.g., simulated to stop at an edge of the first user interface region (e.g., a watch hand)). In some embodiments, the second visual effect portion is based on an edge of the second user interface region (e.g., simulated light stops at an edge of the second user interface region (e.g., the complication and / or the watch hand)). In some embodiments, the emitted light of the second visual effect portion is separate from the emitted light of the first visual effect portion (e.g., separated by the third user interface region). In some embodiments, the second visual effect portion includes emitted light (e.g., different from the emitted light of the first visual effect portion) that indicates the position of the third user interface region (e.g., the second hand).

[0284] In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) displays a third visual effect portion (e.g., 606k) (e.g., a combination of light from the first user interface region representing the first clock hand (e.g., the hour hand) and light from the second user interface region representing the second clock hand (e.g., the minute hand)) that includes a combination (e.g., overlap, merge, and / or mix) of simulated emitted light (e.g., 606b) that is indicative of the location of the first user interface region (e.g., from the first user interface region) and other simulated emitted light (e.g., 606g) (e.g., from the second user interface region). In some embodiments, the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the location of the first user interface region and the other simulated emitted light are the same color. In some embodiments, the simulated emitted light and the other simulated emitted light are different colors. In some embodiments, the third visual effect portion includes a color that is a combination of the colors of the simulated emitted light and the other simulated emitted light. In some embodiments, the third visual effect portion is brighter than the simulated emitted light. In some embodiments, the third visual effect portion is dimmer than the simulated emitted light. Automatically displaying the combination of the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the location of the first user interface region and the other simulated emitted light enables the display of the user interface without requiring the user to provide further input to configure the user interface (e.g., by indicating the portion of the simulated emitted light that should be combined), thereby performing an action when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

[0285] In some embodiments, the other simulated emitted light (e.g., 606g) is indicative of a location of a third user interface region (e.g., 606h and / or 606s) (e.g., the second clock hand) in the clock user interface, where the location and / or shape of the third user interface region is indicative of the current time of day (e.g., the current hour, the current minute, and / or the current second). Displaying the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the current time of day provides visual feedback about the time of day and helps the user quickly and easily view the current time of day, thereby providing improved feedback to the user.

[0286] In some embodiments, the second user interface region (e.g., 606e, 606h, 606j, 6061, 606n, and / or 606s) blocks the simulated emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) (e.g., simulated emitted light indicating the location of the first region and / or simulated emitted light indicating the location of one or more other regions) (e.g., the second user interface region prevents the light from illuminating a portion of the user interface). In some embodiments, as the first user interface region (e.g., 606c) changes location, the amount of simulated emitted light blocked by the second user interface region changes. In some embodiments, the amount of simulated emitted light blocked by the second user interface region is based on the current time of day. In some embodiments, the second user interface region is static. In some embodiments, the second user interface region is dynamic (e.g., changes location, shape, and / or size). Automatically blocking simulated emitted light with a user interface region enables the display of a user interface without requiring the user to provide additional input to configure the user interface (e.g., by indicating the portion of simulated emitted light to be blocked by the user interface region), thereby performing an operation when a set of conditions has been met without the need for further user input.

[0287] In some embodiments, the location and / or shape of the second user interface region (e.g., 606h and / or 606s) indicates the current time of day (e.g., is a clock hand). In some embodiments, the second user interface region blocks a greater portion of the simulated emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) at different current times of day. In some embodiments, the second user interface region blocks a smaller portion of the simulated emitted light at different times of day. In some embodiments, the second user interface region blocks the simulated emitted light along one edge of the second user interface region. In some embodiments, the simulated emitted light illuminates the regions of the clock user interface that are not blocked by the second user interface region. Displaying a user interface region that indicates the current time of day provides visual feedback about the time of day and helps the user quickly and easily view the current time of day, thereby providing improved feedback to the user.

[0288] In some embodiments, the second user interface region (e.g., 606e, 606j, 6061, 606n, and / or 606p) represents a time marker (e.g., a minute or hour marker of a simulated clock dial). Displaying a user interface region that indicates a time marker provides visual feedback about the time of day and helps the user quickly and easily view the current time of day, thereby providing improved feedback to the user.

[0289] In some embodiments, the second visual effect portion (e.g., 606d, 606i, and / or 606k) includes a shadow (e.g., 606m) that is based on a position of a simulated emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) and a position of the first user interface region (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) relative to the second user interface region (e.g., 606e, 606j, 6061, and / or 606p) (e.g., a shadow formed by the simulated emitted light from the time marker). In some embodiments, the second user interface region is static and the shadow moves around in the second user interface region as the position of the first user interface region changes. In some embodiments, the shadow is based on a current time of day. In some embodiments, the simulated emitted light changes position based on the current time of day. In some embodiments, the shadow is a first shadow and the second visual effect portion includes a second shadow based on another simulated emitted light (e.g., from a minute hand) that is indicative of a position of a third user interface region (e.g., a minute hand) in the clock user interface, where the position and / or shape of the third user interface region is indicative of the current time of day. In some embodiments, the second shadow moves around in the second user interface region as the position of the third user interface region changes. In some embodiments, the second shadow is based on the current time of day. Automatically displaying the shadow based on the simulated emitted light and the second user interface region enables the display of the user interface without requiring the user to provide additional input to configure the user interface (e.g., by indicating a position of the second visual effect portion that should include the shadow based on the first user interface region and the second user interface region), thereby performing an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

[0290] In some embodiments, the shadow is formed based on the simulated emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) interacting with the time marker (e.g., 606e, 606j, 6061, and / or 606p) (e.g., when the simulated emitted light illuminates the time marker, the shadow is cast behind the time marker). In some embodiments, the shadow is cast on one side of the time marker but not the other. In some embodiments, the position of the shadow relative to the time marker changes based on the position of the first user interface region (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) (e.g., because the simulated emitted light changes position as the current time of day changes). In some embodiments, the position of the shadow relative to the time marker is based on the current time of day. In some embodiments, the display of the shadow is based on the current time of day (e.g., when the current time of day is such that the simulated emitted light illuminates a different portion of the clock user interface than the portion of the clock user interface that includes the time marker). In some embodiments, a second shadow is formed based on the simulated emitted light interacting with a second time marker. In some embodiments, the first shadow and the second shadow have different positions relative to their respective time markers. Automatically displaying the shadow based on the simulated emitted light interacting with the time marker enables display of the user interface without requiring the user to provide additional input to configure the user interface (e.g., by indicating the position of the shadow based on the simulated emitted light’s interaction with the time marker), thereby performing an operation when a set of conditions has been met without the need for further user input.

[0291] In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) detects selection (e.g., a tap, swipe, and / or press on the touch-sensitive surface) of an option (e.g., a selectable option) corresponding to the time marker (e.g., 606e, 606j, 6061, and / or 606p) (e.g., an option to open and / or close the time marker). In some embodiments, after (e.g., in response to) detecting selection of the option corresponding to the time marker, a second visual effect portion (e.g., 606d, 606i, and / or 606k) is displayed via the display generation component and in the clock user interface (e.g., 600) without the second visual effect portion being based on the second user interface region (e.g., 606e, 606j, 6061, and / or 606p) (e.g., the simulated emitted light does not interact with the area of the clock user interface representing the time marker). Changing the second visual effect portion after detecting the option corresponding to the time marker reduces the number of inputs needed to perform the operation (e.g., by removing the time marker and the visual effect formed by the time marker in one input), thereby reducing the number of inputs needed to perform the operation.

[0292] In some embodiments, the number of regions (e.g., 606e, 606j, 6061, and / or 606p) of the clock user interface that block the simulated emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) (e.g., the number of visible time markers) is based on the position of the first user interface region (e.g., 606c, 606h, and / or 606s) (e.g., the position of the minute and / or hour hands relative to the clock user interface and / or the position of the minute and / or hour hands relative to each other; the position to which the minute and / or hour hands are pointing and / or the position of the second hand that blocks light). In some embodiments, the number of time markers illuminated by the simulated emitted light is based on the current time of day. Automatically displaying the number of regions of the clock user interface that block the simulated light based on the position of the first user interface region enables the display of a user interface without requiring the user to provide additional input to configure the user interface (e.g., by indicating the regions that should be displayed for different positions of the first user interface region), thereby performing an action when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

[0293] In some embodiments, the first user interface region (e.g., 606b and / or 606h) (e.g., a clock hand) is the same color as the background (e.g., 606o) of the clock user interface (e.g., 600) (e.g., the watch hand and the clock background are both black). In some embodiments, the watch hand and the clock background appear to be the same, except when illuminated by the simulated emitted light. Displaying a user interface region that is the same color as the background of the clock user interface provides visual feedback about the time of day and helps the user quickly and easily view the current time of day, thereby providing improved feedback to the user.

[0294] In some embodiments, the second user interface region (e.g., 606b and / or 606h) (e.g., representing a clock hand) is the same color as the background (e.g., 606o) of the clock user interface (e.g., 600). Displaying a second user interface region that is the same color as the background of the clock user interface provides visual feedback about the time of day and helps the user quickly and easily view the current time of day, thereby providing improved feedback to the user.

[0295] In some embodiments, the second user interface region includes (e.g., is) user interface elements associated with applications (e.g., 606n) (e.g., complication) and the simulated emission light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) does not affect the visual appearance of the second user interface region. In some embodiments, a complication refers to any dial feature other than hours and minutes (e.g., clock hands or hour / minute indication) for indicating time. In some embodiments, a complication provides data obtained from an application. In some embodiments, a complication includes an affordance that, when selected, launches the corresponding application. In some embodiments, a complication is displayed at a fixed, predefined location on the display. In some embodiments, a complication occupies a respective position at a particular region of the dial (e.g., lower right, lower left, upper right, and / or upper left). In some embodiments, the simulated emission light stops before reaching the second user interface region, and / or the simulated emission light does not affect the visual appearance of the second user interface region (e.g., the simulated emission light reaches the second user interface region but does not affect the visual appearance of the second user interface region). Displaying user interface elements associated with applications that are not affected by the visual appearance of the second user interface region provides visual feedback regarding the applications of the electronic device and helps the user quickly and easily view information from the applications of the user device, thereby providing improved feedback to the user.

[0296] In some embodiments, in accordance with the current time being a first time, the first user interface region (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) has a first position (e.g., Figure 6B 606c and / or 606h in FIG. 6M) (e.g., the first user interface region is displayed at the first position at the first time of day); and in accordance with the current time being a second time, the first user interface region has a second position (e.g., Figure 6I 606c and / or 606h in FIG. 6M) (e.g., the first user interface region is displayed at the second position at the second time of day). Displaying the first user interface region at the first position at the first time and at the second position at the second time provides visual feedback regarding the time of day and helps the user quickly and easily view the current time of day, thereby providing improved feedback to the user.

[0297] In some embodiments, the simulated emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) is emitted from a first edge (e.g., the clockwise edge relative to the face of the clock) of the first user interface region (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) rather than a second edge (e.g., the counterclockwise edge relative to the face of the clock) of the first user interface region. In some embodiments, the first edge and the second edge are on opposite sides of the first user interface region. In some embodiments, the simulated emitted light is emitted from the second edge (e.g., the counterclockwise edge relative to the face of the clock) of the first user interface region rather than the first edge (e.g., the clockwise edge relative to the face of the clock) of the first user interface region. Displaying the simulated emitted light from the first edge of the first user interface region rather than the second edge of the first user interface region enables the display of the user interface without requiring the user to provide additional input to configure the user interface (e.g., by indicating which portion of the user interface is illuminated by the simulated emitted light), thereby performing an operation when a set of conditions has been met without the need for further user input.

[0298] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the first edge of the first user interface region (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) is curved. In some embodiments, the portion of the first edge of the first user interface region that is curved represents an end point of the first user interface region. In some embodiments, the portion of the first edge is the entire first edge of the first user interface region. In some embodiments, a portion of the second edge of the first user interface region is curved. In some embodiments, a portion of the first edge of the first user interface region and a portion of the second edge of the first user interface region are curved. In some embodiments, a portion of the first edge of the second user interface region (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) is curved. In some embodiments, a portion of the second edge of the second user interface region is curved. In some embodiments, a portion of the first edge of the second user interface region and a portion of the second edge of the second user interface region are curved. Displaying a portion of the first edge of the first user interface region as curved provides visual feedback regarding the user interface and helps the user quickly and easily distinguish elements of the user interface, thereby providing the user with improved feedback.

[0299] In some embodiments, the simulated emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) has a simulated height (e.g., appears to be emitted from a source having the simulated height) relative to a background (e.g., 606o) of the clock user interface (e.g., 606) (e.g., the simulated emitted light is emitted from a source displaced from the background in a direction orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to a surface defining the background) and illuminates (e.g., casts light onto) the background of the clock user interface. Displaying the simulated emitted light at a simulated height relative to the background of the clock user interface to illuminate the background of the clock user interface enables the user interface to be displayed without requiring the user to provide additional input to configure the user interface (e.g., by indicating how the simulated emitted light should be dispersed over the background of the clock user interface), thereby performing an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

[0300] In some embodiments, the simulated emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) is based on a first simulated light source (e.g., 606q and / or 606r) and a second simulated light source (e.g., 606q and / or 606r). Displaying the simulated emitted light based on the first simulated light source and the second simulated light source enables the user interface to be displayed without requiring the user to provide multiple inputs to configure the user interface (e.g., by indicating how the simulated emitted light should be dispersed based on different simulated light sources), thereby performing an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

[0301] In some embodiments, a first simulated light source (e.g., 606q and / or 606r) of the simulated emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) has a first simulated height relative to a background (e.g., 606o) of the clock user interface (e.g., 606) (e.g., the first simulated light source is displaced from the background in a direction orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to a surface defining the background), and a second simulated light source (e.g., 606q and / or 606r) of the simulated emitted light has a second simulated height relative to the background of the clock user interface that is different from the first simulated height (e.g., the second simulated light source is displaced from the background in a direction orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to a surface defining the background). Displaying the simulated emitted light with two different simulated light sources having two different simulated heights relative to the background of the clock user interface enables the user interface to be displayed without requiring the user to provide additional input to configure the user interface (e.g., by indicating how the simulated emitted light should be dispersed based on different simulated light sources), thereby performing an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

[0302] In some embodiments, a first simulated light source (e.g., 606q and / or 606r) that simulates emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) includes (e.g., produces or emits) a first color of light, and a second simulated light source (e.g., 606q and / or 606r) that simulates emitted light includes (e.g., produces or emits) a second color of light that is different from the first color. In some embodiments, the first simulated light source does not include the second color of light. In some embodiments, the second simulated light source does not include the first color of light. In some embodiments, the first color and the second color are the same color. Displaying simulated emitted light with two different simulated light sources having two different colors enables display of a user interface without requiring the user to provide multiple inputs to configure the user interface (e.g., by indicating a dispersion of each color of simulated emitted light), thereby performing an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input.

[0303] In some embodiments, a first user interface region (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) includes one or more cutouts (e.g., 606z) (e.g., a boundary with sharp corners, such as a cutout, vertex, and / or corner point in a clock hand). In some embodiments, the first user interface region includes a boundary with sharp corners (e.g., a cutout, vertex, and / or corner point in a clock hand). In some embodiments, the cutout results in a sharp corner in the simulated emitted light (e.g., light emitted in different directions). In some embodiments, the boundary has a radius of curvature and / or an angle. In some embodiments, the angle is 45 degrees, 90 degrees, or 135 degrees. In some embodiments, the radius includes a gradual change in direction of a boundary or edge of the first user interface region. In some embodiments, the cutout includes an abrupt change in direction at an angle. In some embodiments, the cutout is at a first point on the first user interface region (e.g., one end of a watch hand). In some embodiments, the first point on the first user interface region is proximate to a center of the clock user interface (e.g., a point about which the clock hands rotate or from which the clock hands extend). In some embodiments, the first point on the first user interface is proximate to an edge of the clock user interface (e.g., a point at which the clock hands end). In some embodiments, the cutout is at a second point on the first user interface region that is different from the first point on the first user interface region. In some embodiments, there is a first cutout at the first point and a second cutout at the second point (e.g., both ends of a clock hand have sharp corners). Displaying a first user interface region with a cutout provides visual feedback about the user interface and helps the user quickly and easily distinguish elements of the user interface, thereby providing improved feedback to the user.

[0304] In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) detects a request (e.g., a tap, swipe, and / or press on a touch-sensitive surface) to change a color of the simulated emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g). In some embodiments, after (e.g., in response to) detecting the request to change the color of the simulated emitted light, the computer system displays the simulated emitted light in a first color (e.g., using a simulated light source of the first color) in accordance with a determination that the request corresponds to a first color (e.g., red, green, white, and / or gray), and displays the simulated light in a second color (e.g., using a simulated light source of the second color) in accordance with a determination that the request corresponds to a second color (e.g., red, green, white, and / or gray) that is different from the first color. In some embodiments, the request to change the color of the simulated emitted light is provided in a settings user interface associated with the clock user interface. Changing the color of the simulated emitted light in accordance with a determination of a color that the request corresponds to enables a user to easily and in an intuitive way edit the color of the simulated emitted light, thereby providing improved control options.

[0305] In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) displays the clock user interface (e.g., 606) by displaying (e.g., concurrently with the first visual effect portion and / or the second visual effect portion) a third visual effect portion (e.g., 606a, 606d, 606i, 606f, and / or 606k) that includes simulated emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) (e.g., light from the second clock hand) that is indicative of a position of a second user interface region (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) (e.g., the second clock hand) via the display generation component. In some embodiments, the third visual effect portion is the second visual effect portion (e.g., 606a, 606d, 606i, 606f, and / or 606k). In some embodiments, the third visual effect portion interacts with (e.g., affects or changes) the first visual effect portion (e.g., 606a, 606d, 606i, 606f, and / or 606k) and the second visual effect portion (e.g., the second emitted light combines with the first emitted light). In some embodiments, the third visual effect portion does not interact with the first visual effect portion (e.g., when the simulated emitted light does not touch because they are opposite each other and / or the second hand divides the simulated emitted light). Displaying the third visual effect portion that includes simulated emitted light that is indicative of a position of a second user interface region provides visual feedback regarding the time of day and helps a user quickly and easily view the current time of day, thereby providing improved feedback to the user.

[0306] In some embodiments, the simulated emission light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) indicating the location of the first user interface region (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) includes (e.g., is) a first color, and the simulated emission light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) indicating the location of the second user interface region (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) includes (e.g., is) a second color that is different from the first color. In some embodiments, the simulated emission light indicating the location of the first user interface region and the simulated emission light indicating the location of the second user interface region include (e.g., is) the same color. In some embodiments, the second visual effect portion includes simulated emission light of the same color as the simulated emission light of the first visual effect portion. Displaying the first simulated emission light with the first color and displaying the second simulated emission light provides visual feedback that distinguishes different portions of the user interface and helps the user quickly and easily distinguish portions of the user interface that indicate different times of day, thereby providing improved feedback to the user.

[0307] In some embodiments, the simulated emission light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) indicating the location of the first user interface region (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) is emitted from an edge (e.g., a clockwise edge relative to the face of the clock) of the first user interface region (e.g., the hour hand), and the simulated emission light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) indicating the location of the second user interface region (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) is emitted from an edge (e.g., a counterclockwise edge relative to the face of the clock) of the second user interface region (e.g., the minute hand), where the edge of the first user interface region is opposite the edge of the second user interface region relative to the clock user interface (e.g., the clockwise direction of the clock user interface). In some embodiments, the edge of the first user interface region faces the clockwise direction and the edge of the second user interface region faces the counterclockwise direction. In some embodiments, the edge of the first user interface region faces the counterclockwise direction and the edge of the second user interface region faces the clockwise direction. Displaying the simulated emission light indicating the location of the first user interface region being emitted from the edge of the first user interface region and the simulated emission light indicating the location of the second user interface region being emitted from the edge of the second user interface region, where the edge of the first user interface region is opposite the edge of the second user interface region relative to the clock user interface, provides visual feedback that distinguishes different portions of the user interface, thereby providing improved feedback to the user.

[0308] In some embodiments, the edge of the first user interface region (e.g., Figure 6B the second user interface region (e.g., Figure 6Bthe edge of the first user interface region that faces the edge of the second user interface region provides visual feedback that distinguishes different portions of the user interface and helps the user quickly and easily distinguish portions of the user interface that indicate different times of day, and thus provides improved feedback to the user.

[0309] In some embodiments, the edge of the first user interface region (e.g., Figure 6H the edge of the first user interface region that faces the edge of the second user interface region provides visual feedback that distinguishes different portions of the user interface and helps the user quickly and easily distinguish portions of the user interface that indicate different times of day, and thus provides improved feedback to the user. Figure 6H the edge of the first user interface region that faces the edge of the second user interface region provides visual feedback that distinguishes different portions of the user interface and helps the user quickly and easily distinguish portions of the user interface that indicate different times of day, and thus provides improved feedback to the user.

[0310] In some embodiments, the position of the edge of the first user interface region (e.g., Figure 6H the position of the second edge of the second user interface region (e.g., Figure 6H the position of the second edge of the second user interface region (e.g., In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the current time of day is a first time of day, the edge of the first user interface region faces the edge of the second user interface region; and in accordance with a determination that the current time of day is a second time of day that is different from the first time of day, the edge of the first user interface region faces away from the edge of the second user interface region. Displaying the position of the edge of the first user interface region and the edge of the second user interface region based on the current time of day provides visual feedback about the time of day and helps the user to be able to quickly and easily determine the current time of day, and thus provides improved feedback to the user.

[0311] In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) displays the simulated emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) that is indicative of the position of the first user interface region and the simulated emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) that is indicative of the position of the third user interface region (e.g., the second hand, the minute hand) such that the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the position of the first user interface region and the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the position of the third user interface region are divided (e.g., separated from each other, blocked from each other, prevented from interacting, mixed, and / or combined) by the fourth user interface region (e.g., 606s) (e.g., which represents the second hand), where the position and / or shape of the fourth user interface region is indicative of the current time of day. In some embodiments, the position of the fourth user interface region changes based on the current time of day (e.g., Figure 6D 606s in FIG. 6B and Figure 6F 606s in FIG. 6G). Displaying the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the position of the first user interface region and the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the position of the third user interface region such that the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the position of the first user interface region and the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the position of the third user interface region are divided by the fourth user interface region, where the position and / or shape of the fourth user interface region is indicative of the current time of day, provides visual feedback regarding the time of day and helps the user to quickly and easily determine the current time of day, thereby providing improved feedback to the user.

[0312] In some embodiments, the fourth user interface region (e.g., 606s) (e.g., the second hand) includes a first side (e.g., 606t) (e.g., a long side) and a second side (e.g., 606u) (e.g., a short side) that is shorter than the first side with respect to a point of rotation (e.g., 606w) on the fourth user interface region (e.g., the fourth user interface region is a line that passes through one point on the clock user interface and the fourth user interface region has a long side on one side of the point and a short side on the other side of the point). Displaying the fourth user interface region that has the first side and the second side that is shorter than the first side with respect to the point of rotation on the fourth user interface region provides visual feedback that distinguishes different portions of the user interface and helps the user to quickly and easily distinguish portions of the user interface that are indicative of different times of day, thereby providing improved feedback to the user.

[0313] In some embodiments, the fourth user interface region (e.g., Figure 6DThe fourth user interface region (e.g., 606s) blocks (e.g., obstructs and / or stops the interaction of) the simulated emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) indicating the location of the first user interface region (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) from the simulated emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) indicating the location of the third user interface region (e.g., 606c and / or 606h). In some embodiments, the fourth user interface region stops the interaction of the simulated emitted light indicating the location of the first user interface region from the simulated emitted light indicating the location of the third user interface region. In some embodiments, the fourth user interface region stops the interaction of the simulated light indicating the location of the first user interface region with other elements of the clock user interface (e.g., the first user interface region, the second user interface region, and / or the third user interface region). In some embodiments, the fourth user interface region stops the interaction of the simulated light indicating the location of the third user interface region with other elements of the clock user interface (e.g., the first user interface region and / or the second user interface region). Displaying the fourth user interface region such that it blocks the interaction of the simulated emitted light indicating the location of the first user interface region and the simulated emitted light indicating the location of the third user interface region provides visual feedback that distinguishes different portions of the user interface and helps the user to quickly and easily distinguish portions of the user interface that indicate different times of day, thereby providing improved feedback to the user.

[0314] In some embodiments, in response to determining that the predetermined condition is satisfied (e.g., entering a low power state, selecting to remove the seconds hand, and / or a particular amount of time has elapsed), the computer system (e.g., 600) displays the simulated emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) that is indicative of the location of the first user interface region (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) and the simulated emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) that is indicative of the location of the third user interface region (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) such that the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the location of the first user interface region is blended (e.g., combined and / or interacts) with the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the location of the third user interface region. In some embodiments, the blending of the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the location of the first user interface region and the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the location of the third user interface region is based on the location of the first user interface region and the location of the third user interface region. In some embodiments, the blending of the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the location of the first user interface region and the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the location of the third user interface region is based on the color of the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the location of the first user interface region and the color of the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the location of the third user interface region. In some embodiments, the blending of the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the location of the first user interface region and the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the location of the third user interface region is based on the second user interface region (e.g., 606c, 606d, 606h, 606j, 6061, 606p) being blocked (e.g., by one or more elements of the clock user interface). In some embodiments, the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the location of the first user interface region and the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the location of the third user interface region are displayed in black and white. In some embodiments, the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the location of the first user interface region and the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the location of the third user interface region change color (e.g., from red / green to white) in response to determining that the predetermined condition is satisfied. In some embodiments, the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the location of the first user interface region and the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the location of the third user interface region change brightness in response to determining that the predetermined condition is satisfied. Displaying the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the location of the first user interface region and the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the location of the third user interface region such that the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the location of the first user interface region is blended with the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the location of the third user interface region in response to determining that the predetermined condition is satisfied provides visual feedback that distinguishes different portions of the user interface in particular situations and helps users to be able to quickly and easily distinguish portions of the user interface that are indicative of different times of day when the condition is satisfied, thereby providing improved feedback to users.

[0315] In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) displays (e.g., concurrently with the first visual effect portion and / or the second visual effect portion) a third simulated emitted light (e.g., light of a second hand) that is indicative of a position and / or size of a rotation point of one or more of the user interface regions (e.g., 606c, 606h, and / or 606s) (e.g., hour hand, minute hand, and / or second hand). In some embodiments, the third simulated emitted light is mixed (e.g., merged and / or interacts) with the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the position of the first user interface region and / or the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the position of the third user interface region (e.g., where light from the second hand is merged with light from the hour hand and light from the minute hand). In some embodiments, the third simulated emitted light is not as bright as the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the position of the first user interface region and / or the simulated emitted light that is indicative of the position of the third user interface region. Displaying the third simulated emitted light that is indicative of the position and / or size of the rotation point of the fourth user interface region provides visual feedback that distinguishes different portions of the user interface and helps the user to quickly and easily distinguish portions of the user interface that are indicative of different times of day, thereby providing improved feedback to the user.

[0316] In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the current time of day is a first time of day, the fourth user interface region (e.g., 606s) has a first position (e.g., the fourth user interface region is displayed at the first position at the first time of day); and in accordance with a determination that the current time of day is a second time of day that is different from the first time of day, the fourth user interface region (e.g., 606s) has a second position (e.g., the fourth user interface region is displayed at the second position at the second time of day). Figure 6F Figure 6G ​the fourth user interface region overlaps the first visual effect portion less at the second position than at the first position (e.g., the intersection of the fourth user interface region with the first visual effect portion results in the simulated emitted light indicating the location of the first user interface region being less blocked (e.g., the simulated emitted light indicating the location of the first user interface region illuminates more of the background and / or the first visual effect portion is larger)). In some embodiments, the fourth user interface region overlaps the first visual effect portion more at the second position than at the first position (e.g., the intersection of the fourth user interface region with the first visual effect portion results in the simulated emitted light indicating the location of the first user interface region being more blocked (e.g., the simulated emitted light indicating the location of the first user interface region illuminates less of the background and / or the first visual effect portion is smaller). In some embodiments, the fourth user interface region overlaps the second visual effect portion less at the second position than at the first position (e.g., the intersection of the fourth user interface region with the second visual effect portion results in the simulated emitted light indicating the location of the third user interface region being less blocked (e.g., the simulated emitted light indicating the location of the third user interface region illuminates more of the background and / or the second visual effect portion is larger). In some embodiments, the fourth user interface region overlaps the second visual effect portion more at the second position than at the first position (e.g., the intersection of the fourth user interface region with the second visual effect portion results in the simulated emitted light indicating the location of the third user interface region being more blocked (e.g., the simulated emitted light indicating the location of the third user interface region illuminates less of the background and / or the second visual effect portion is smaller). Displaying the fourth user interface region at different positions at different times of day, where the fourth user interface region overlaps the first visual effect portion less at the second position than at the first position, provides visual feedback about the time of day and helps the user to be able to quickly and easily determine the current time of day, thereby providing improved feedback to the user.

[0317] In some embodiments, the first user interface region (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) has a first point (e.g., near a point of rotation of the first user interface region and / or near a center of the clock user interface) and a second point (e.g., away from the point of rotation of the first user interface region, away from the center of the clock user interface, and / or near an edge of the clock user interface), and wherein the fourth user interface region (e.g., 606s) blocks (e.g., interacts with, obstructs, and / or stops) more light at the first point of the first user interface region than at the second point of the first user interface region. In some embodiments, the first point is at a bottom of the first user interface region (e.g., near a point of rotation of the first user interface region and / or near a center of the clock user interface), and the second point is at a top of the first user interface region (e.g., away from the point of rotation of the first user interface region, away from the center of the clock user interface, and / or near an edge of the clock user interface). In some embodiments, the fourth user interface region blocks more light at the second point of the first user interface region and blocks less light at the first point of the first user interface region. In some embodiments, the second user region (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) has a first point and a second point, and the fourth user interface region blocks more light at the first point of the first user interface region and blocks less light at the second point of the first user interface region. In some embodiments, the first point is at a bottom of the second user interface region (e.g., near a point of rotation of the first user interface region and / or near a center of the clock user interface), and the second point is at a top of the second user interface region (e.g., away from the point of rotation of the first user interface region, away from the center of the clock user interface, and / or near an edge of the clock user interface). In some embodiments, the fourth user interface region blocks more light at the second point of the second user interface region and blocks less light at the first point of the second user interface region. Displaying the fourth user interface region blocking more light at the first point of the first user interface region than at the second point of the first user interface region provides visual feedback that distinguishes different portions of the user interface and helps the user to quickly and easily distinguish portions of the user interface that indicate different times of day, and thus provides improved feedback to the user.

[0318] In some embodiments, the fourth user interface region (e.g., 606s) includes (e.g., is) a third color that is different from the first color and / or the second color. In some embodiments, the fourth user interface region is the same color as the simulated emitted light that indicates the position and / or size of the rotation point of the third fourth user interface region (e.g., the second hand). Displaying the fourth user interface region with a third color that is different from the first color and / or the second color provides visual feedback that distinguishes different portions of the user interface and helps the user to quickly and easily distinguish portions of the user interface that indicate different times of day, thereby providing improved feedback to the user.

[0319] It should be noted that details of the processes described above with respect to method 700 (e.g., the details of the process of Figure 7 ) are also applicable in an analogous manner to the methods described below. For example, methods 900, 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, and 1900 optionally include one or more of the characteristics of the various methods described above with reference to method 700.

For another example, method 700 optionally includes one or more of the characteristics of the various methods described below with reference to method 1500. For example, the clock user interface 606 can optionally include numbers that interact with each other as described in method 1500. For the sake of brevity, these details are not repeated below.

[0320] Figures 8A to 8T Example clock user interfaces that include astronomical objects in accordance with various examples are illustrated. The user interfaces in these figures are used to illustrate the processes described below, including processes in Figure 9 .

[0321] Figure 8AA computer system 800 (e.g., a smart watch) with a display 802 is illustrated. The computer system 800 includes a rotatable and depressible input mechanism 804. In some embodiments, the computer system 800 includes one or more features of the device 100, the device 300, and / or the device 500. In some embodiments, the computer system 800 is a tablet, a phone, a laptop, a desktop computer, and / or a camera. In some embodiments, the inputs described below can be replaced with alternative inputs, such as a press input and / or a rotation input received via the rotatable and depressible input mechanism 804.

[0322] In Figure 8A the computer system 800 displays a clock user interface 806. In some embodiments, in response to detecting an input, such as a tap input, a wrist-lift input, a press input received via the rotatable and depressible input mechanism 804, and / or a rotation input received via the rotatable and depressible input mechanism 804, the computer system 800 displays the clock user interface 806.

[0323] In some embodiments, the clock user interface 806 is displayed on a tablet, a phone (e.g., a smart phone), a laptop, and / or a desktop computer. In some embodiments, the clock user interface 806 is displayed on a home screen, a lock screen, and / or a wake screen of a tablet, a phone, a laptop, and / or a desktop computer.

[0324] The clock user interface 806 includes an astronomical object (e.g., the Earth) 806a, a digital time indication 806b, and an optional user interface element 806c. In response to a predetermined event, such as a user input and / or a change in an operating mode of the computer system 800, the clock user interface 806 displays different portions, cutouts, and / or views of the astronomical object 806a (or other astronomical objects as described below). In Figure 8A In some embodiments, a first portion of the astronomical object 806a is displayed in the clock user interface 806. The astronomical object 806a partially overlaps (e.g., obscures) a portion of the time digital indication 806b, thereby creating a depth effect between the astronomical object 806a and other aspects of the clock user interface 806, including the time digital indication 806b and the optional user interface element 806c.

[0325] Astronomical object 806a includes a representation of the Earth, including continents, oceans, and clouds. In particular, astronomical object 806a includes clouds 806d that are optionally displayed based on current weather data. Thus, clouds 806d can be realistic and mimic cloud patterns (e.g., cloud cover) at the current location of computer system 800 to form a more realistic view of the Earth. In some embodiments, the patterns of clouds 806d change in response to detecting a change in the current weather at the current location of computer system 800. In addition to including clouds 806d, astronomical object 806a also includes an accurate representation of the shadows of clouds 806d displayed on the land and oceans of astronomical object 806a.

[0326] As discussed further below, in some embodiments, when a predetermined event is detected, the portion or view of astronomical object 806a displayed in clock user interface 806 changes, but each portion of the view of astronomical object 806a includes the current location of computer system 800. Thus, the portion of astronomical object 806a displayed in Figure 8A includes the land or other location of computer system 800 at the current time (e.g., 10:09). In addition, the portion of astronomical object 806a covered by sunlight and the portion of astronomical object 806a not covered by sunlight reflect the current time of day of the Earth that is covered by sunlight. Thus, in Figure 8A , the current location of computer system 800 is included in the portion of astronomical object 806a and appears to be covered by sunlight because it is currently daytime at the current location of computer system 800.

[0327] Optional user interface element 806c is associated with a calendar application and includes the current day of the week and the current date of the month. In some embodiments, in response to detecting user input (e.g., a tap, press, and / or swipe) on optional user interface element 806c, computer system 800 displays a user interface of the associated calendar application. In some embodiments, optional user interface element 806c (e.g., a complex function block) is associated with an application other than a calendar application. In some embodiments, the complex function block displayed as optional user interface element 806c is selected by the user so that the user can quickly access information from an application that is relevant to the user.

[0328] After detecting a predetermined event, such as a tap, wrist movement, or other user input, computer system 800 displays clock user interface 806 with a second portion of astronomical object 806a, as shown in Figure 8B The second portion of astronomical object 806a overlaps a different portion of digital time indication 806b than the first portion of astronomical object 806a displayed in Figure 8A , resulting in a different depth effect between the second portion of astronomical object 806a and digital time indication 806b.

[0329] Similar to Figure 8A the first portion of astronomical object 806a, the second portion of astronomical object 806a includes the current location of computer system 800 and indicates that the current location of computer system 800 is covered by sunlight because it is daytime at the current location of computer system 800. In addition, the second portion of astronomical object 806a optionally includes realistic clouds 806d based on current weather data. However, because the second portion of astronomical object 806a includes astronomical object 806a from a different angle, the cloud coverage in the second portion of astronomical object 806a appears different than the cloud coverage of the first portion of astronomical object 806a.

[0330] After detecting another predetermined event, computer system 800 displays the clock user interface 806 with a third portion of astronomical object 806a, as shown in Figure 8C . The third portion of astronomical object 806a displays a different view or angle of astronomical object 806a than Figure 8A and Figure 8B . Specifically, the third portion of astronomical object 806a is a view of astronomical object 806a in which the entire astronomical object 806a is in a field of view that is opposite to the field of view that includes less than the entire astronomical object 806a. Similar to the first and second portions of astronomical object 806a, the third portion of astronomical object 806a includes the current location of computer system 800 and indicates that the current location of computer system 800 is covered by sunlight, even though the view of astronomical object 806a is different.

[0331] In addition, the third portion of astronomical object 806a is displayed behind digital time indication 806b and optional user interface element 806c, resulting in a different depth effect than Figure 8A and Figure 8B . However, like Figure 8A and Figure 8B , the clock user interface 806 optionally includes realistic clouds 806d based on the current weather pattern at the current location of computer system 800. Thus, the clouds 806d will change as the weather at the current location of computer system 800 changes.

[0332] In some embodiments, the portions of astronomical object 806a displayed in the clock user interface 806 are predetermined. For example, the different portions of astronomical object 806a can have a predetermined order, and thus can be displayed in the order shown in Figure 8A , Figure 8B and Figure 8C as the portions of astronomical object 806a cycle.

[0333] In some embodiments, the portion of astronomical object 806a is randomly or pseudo-randomly selected. For example, computer system 800 can obtain eight different portions (or views) of astronomical object 806a, and when a predetermined event is detected, one of the eight different portions can be randomly selected. As another example, one of the eight different portions can be selected while ensuring that the same portion is not repeated to provide a pseudo-random selection of the portion of astronomical object 806a that is displayed in response to detecting the predetermined event.

[0334] After detecting another predetermined event (e.g., the same predetermined event described above or a different predetermined event), computer system 800 displays clock user interface 806 with a fourth portion of astronomical object 806a, as shown in Figure 8D The fourth portion of astronomical object 806a displays a different view or angle of astronomical object 806a than Figure 8A , Figure 8B and Figure 8C . Similar to the other portions of astronomical object 806a, the fourth portion of astronomical object 806a includes the current location of computer system 800 and indicates that the current location of computer system 800 is in sunlight, even though the view of astronomical object 806a is different.

[0335] In addition, the fourth portion of astronomical object 806a is displayed below (and does not overlap with) digital time indication 806b and optional user interface element 806c, resulting in clock user interface 806 being displayed without any depth effects between astronomical object 806a, digital time indication 806b, and optional user interface element 806c. Thus, the spatial relationships between astronomical object 806a, digital time indication 806b, and optional user interface element 806c displayed on computer system 800 are based on the view of astronomical object 806a that is being displayed.

[0336] In addition, like the other portions of astronomical object 806a, the fourth portion of astronomical object 806a optionally includes realistic clouds 806d based on the current weather pattern at the current location of computer system 800.

[0337] While displaying clock user interface 806 as shown in Figure 8D , computer system 800 detects user input 808 of rotating rotatable input mechanism 804 (which is optionally also depressible). After detecting user input 808 of rotating rotatable input mechanism 804, computer system 800 displays clock user interface 806 including a third portion of astronomical object 806a, as shown in Figure 8EAs shown, the user input 808 of the rotatable input mechanism 804 enables the computer system 800 to enter a mode in which the astronomical object 806a can be displayed at a time other than the current time (e.g., a past or future time). Thus, in response to detecting the user input 808, the computer system 800 displays a third portion of the astronomical object 806a to provide a full view of the astronomical object 806a at the current time prior to displaying the astronomical object 806a at a different time.

[0338] After detecting (e.g., in response to) further clockwise rotation of the rotatable input mechanism 804, the computer system 800 displays the clock user interface 806 including a view of the astronomical object 806a three hours prior to the current time, as shown. Figure 8F As shown, the user input 808 of the rotatable input mechanism 804 enables the computer system 800 to enter a mode in which the astronomical object 806a can be displayed at a time other than the current time (e.g., a past or future time). Thus, in response to detecting the user input 808, the computer system 800 displays a third portion of the astronomical object 806a to provide a full view of the astronomical object 806a at the current time prior to displaying the astronomical object 806a at a different time.

[0339] In addition, in addition to updating the appearance of the astronomical object 806a, the computer system 800 ceases to display the digital time indication 806b and the optional user interface element 806c, and displays an updated time 806h and an offset 806i, both of which indicate that the clock user interface 806 is displaying the Earth three hours in the future.

[0340] Updating the astronomical object 806a includes displaying the astronomical object 806a with updated clouds 806d. The updated clouds 806d are determined based on a predicted weather pattern including a predicted weather pattern in the current location of the computer system 800. The astronomical object 806a is updated in increments and the clouds 806d are updated accordingly when the user input 808 is detected. Thus, as the rotatable input mechanism 804 is rotated, the clouds 806d appear to move as they are predicted to move over the next three hours. Similarly, the amount or area of the astronomical object 806a covered by sunlight is updated to indicate that the Earth is rotating over time, and thus different portions of the Earth are covered by sunlight at different times of day.

[0341] In some implementations, the computer system 800 stops displaying cloud 806d in the clock user interface 806, instead of displaying updated cloud 806d. In some implementations, the computer system 800 updates astronomical objects 806a to include general cloud cover that does not indicate the current or future weather of the computer system 800's current location, instead of displaying or attempting to display realistic clouds based on future weather information.

[0342] In some implementations, the difference between the current time and the time displayed when updating the astronomical object 806a is proportional to the rotation of the user input 808. Therefore, to increase the time by 3 hours from the current time, such as... Figure 8F As shown, a certain amount of rotation must be applied via user input 808, and in order to increase the time by 6 hours from the current time, the rotation must be doubled via user input 808.

[0343] After detecting a further clockwise rotation of the rotatable input mechanism 804, the computer system 800 displays a clock user interface 806 including a view of the astronomical object 806a six hours prior to the current time, as shown. Figure 8G As shown above regarding... Figure 8F As discussed, astronomical object 806a is updated to reflect the time of day as displayed (e.g., 4:09 PM), and therefore the amount of sunlight covering cloud 806d and astronomical object 806a is updated to reflect the conditions expected to occur at 4:09 PM. Furthermore, the updated time 806h and offset 806i are also updated to reflect the time shown as 4:09 PM.

[0344] After (for example, in response to) detecting a counterclockwise rotation of the rotatable input mechanism 804, the computer system 800 displays a clock user interface 806 including a view of the astronomical object 806a two hours after the current time, such as... Figure 8H As shown above regarding... Figure 8F The previously displayed time (e.g., 4:09 PM) is discussed in relation to... Figure 8H The amount of time variation between the displayed time (e.g., 8:09 AM) is proportional to the amount of rotation applied by the user input 808. Additionally, the astronomical object 806a is updated to reflect the time of day displayed. However, unlike the case where the astronomical object 806a is updated to display a future time and uses predicted cloud and weather patterns to display cloud 806d, when displaying a past time, the cloud and weather patterns of that earlier time are used to display cloud 806d. Similarly, the amount of sunlight (or cloud cover) at the current location at the displayed time is also used by the computer system 800 to update the astronomical object 806a. Furthermore, the updated time 806h and offset 806i are updated to reflect the time shown as 8:09 AM.

[0345] In some embodiments, after detecting the predetermined event, computer system 800 displays a clock user interface 806 including a first portion of an astronomical object 806f (e.g., the moon), a digital time indication 806b, an optional user interface element 806c, and a star map 806j, as shown. In some embodiments, astronomical object 806f is selected from a list of possible astronomical objects. In some embodiments, the predetermined event is a user input, such as a tap gesture, a press, a swipe, a wrist raise, and / or a rotation of rotatable input mechanism 804. Figure 8I

[0346] In some embodiments, astronomical object 806f (or another astronomical object as discussed further below) is selected by the user in a selection interface 810 displayed in Figure 8T In some embodiments, the user selects the astronomical object to be displayed by tapping, pressing, swiping, and / or otherwise interacting with a smaller version of the astronomical object displayed in selection interface 810. For example, when a tap gesture is detected on the smaller representation of astronomical object 806f, computer system 800 selects astronomical object 806f. Thus, the predetermined event can include detecting a selection of a different astronomical object to be displayed in clock user interface 806.

[0347] In some embodiments, astronomical object 806f and / or the displayed portion of astronomical object 806f is randomly or pseudo-randomly selected. For example, computer system 800 can randomly select to display the moon, select a portion of the moon from available portions of the moon, and update clock user interface 806 with the selected portion in response to detecting the predetermined event. In some embodiments, the selection of the astronomical object can be limited to a particular (e.g., one) astronomical object, and thus computer system 800 selects a portion of the selected astronomical object. In some embodiments, the astronomical object can be selected from a group of two or more available astronomical objects including the Earth, the moon, and a solar system map, as discussed further below.

[0348] The first portion of astronomical object 806f is overlaid by a portion of digital time indication 806b, creating a parallax effect between astronomical object 806f and digital time indication 806b in clock user interface 806. Astronomical object 806f also includes a realistic view of the moon based on the current phase of the moon and the position of the moon relative to the Earth. Thus, the shading displayed as part of astronomical object 806f is based on the current phase.

[0349] Star map 806j optionally includes a realistic representation of the night sky as seen from the current location of computer system 800. Thus, star map 806j will change as the location of computer system 800 changes and will be updated to reflect the current location.

[0350] ​After (e.g., in response to) detecting a predetermined event such as a user input (e.g., the same predetermined event or a different predetermined event as described above), computer system 800 displays clock user interface 806 including a second portion of astronomical object 806f, as shown in Figure 8J . The second portion of astronomical object 806f covers a different portion of digital time indication 806b, forming a different depth effect than the depth effect shown in Figure 8I . However, like first portion of astronomical object 806f, second portion of astronomical object 806f is based on the current lunar phase and thus includes a realistic representation of the moon. In some embodiments, computer system 800 displays current solar calendar date 8061 and current lunar phase 806m.

[0351] After (e.g., in response to) detecting user input 808 of rotating rotatable input mechanism 804, computer system 800 displays clock user interface 806 including a third portion of astronomical object 806f, as shown in Figure 8K . User input 808 of rotating rotatable input mechanism 804 enables computer system 800 to enter a mode in which astronomical object 806f can be displayed at times other than the current time (e.g., past and / or future times). When user input 808 is detected, computer system 800 displays the third portion of astronomical object 806f to provide a field of view that includes the current time prior to displaying astronomical object 806f at a different time.

[0352] In Figure 8K , computer system 800 displays current lunar calendar date 806k, current lunar phase 806m, and current solar calendar date 8061 to demonstrate the relationship between the lunar calendar date, the solar calendar date, and the current lunar phase. Similar to the first and second portions of astronomical object 806f, the third portion of astronomical object 806f is based on the current lunar phase, thus including a realistic representation of the portion of astronomical object 806f that is not covered by sunlight.

[0353] In Figure 8K , computer system 800 displays a different representation of star map 806j than in Figure 8J . Specifically, when viewing a field of view including the entire moon from the current location of computer system 800, star map 806j is updated to reflect the view of the star map. Thus, star map 806j is updated to reflect the current displayed portion of astronomical object 806f while still using the current location of computer system 800 as a reference point.

[0354] After (e.g., in response to) detecting user input 808 that rotates rotatable input mechanism 804 in a clockwise direction, computer system 800 updates clock user interface 806 to display astronomical object 806f for a number of days in the future proportional to the amount of rotation provided by user input 808, as shown in Figure 8L Thus, computer system 800 updates clock user interface 806 to display updated solar and lunar dates for the next three days from the current day. Computer system 800 also updates clock user interface 806 to include astronomical object 806f, as it will appear in the next three days. Astronomical object 806f is displayed with the lunar phase corresponding to the selected date, which is the first quarter moon. In Figure 8L , computer system 800 displays lunar phase 806m including the lunar phase for the next three days.

[0355] After (e.g., in response to) detecting user input 808 that further rotates rotatable input mechanism 804 in a clockwise direction, computer system 800 updates clock user interface 806 to display astronomical object 806f for a number of days in the future proportional to the amount of rotation provided by user input 808, as shown in Figure 8M Thus, computer system 800 updates clock user interface 806 to display updated solar and lunar dates for the next six days from the current day. Computer system 800 also updates clock user interface 806 to include astronomical object 806f, as it will appear in the next six days. Astronomical object 806f is displayed with the lunar phase corresponding to the selected date, which is the full moon. Lunar phase 806m is further updated to “full moon,” which is the lunar phase appearing in the next six days from the current day.

[0356] After (e.g., in response to) detecting user input 808 that rotates rotatable input mechanism 804 in a counterclockwise direction, computer system 800 updates clock user interface 806 to display astronomical object 806f for a number of days in the past proportional to the amount of rotation provided by user input 808, as shown in Figure 8N Thus, computer system 800 updates clock user interface 806 to display updated solar and lunar dates for the four days prior to the current day. Computer system 800 also updates clock user interface 806 to include astronomical object 806f, as it appeared in the past four days. Astronomical object 806f is displayed with the lunar phase corresponding to the selected date, which is the waning crescent moon. Lunar phase 806m is further updated to “waning crescent moon,” which is the lunar phase appearing four days prior to the current day.

[0357] After (e.g., in response to) detecting a predetermined event (e.g., the same predetermined event as described above or a different predetermined event), computer system 800 displays clock user interface 806 including astronomical object 806g, as shown in Figure 8OAs shown. Astronomical object 806g is a representation of the solar system (e.g., a solar system diagram), and more specifically, a representation of a part of the solar system that includes Earth. Figure 8O The first part of the astronomical object 806g shown includes Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. As discussed further below, different views and / or portions of the solar system can be shown when the astronomical object 806g is selected and / or chosen for display in the clock user interface 806. The clock user interface includes a digital time indicator 806b displayed above (e.g., on top of) the astronomical object 806g and optional user interface elements 806c, thereby creating a depth effect between the digital time indicator 806b, the optional user interface elements 806, and the astronomical object 806g.

[0358] After (for example, in response to) the detection of a predetermined event (e.g., the same predetermined event as described above or a different predetermined event), the computer system 800 displays a second portion or view of the astronomical object 806g, such as Figure 8P As shown. The second part of astronomical object 806g shows a different group of planets than those shown in the first part of astronomical object 806g, including Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and the asteroid belt. Therefore, after a predetermined event, a different group of planets than the solar system is displayed in the clock user interface 806.

[0359] After (for example, in response to) detecting user input 808 from the rotatable input mechanism 804, the computer system 800 displays a clock user interface 806 comprising a third part including an astronomical object 806g, as shown. Figure 8Q As shown. The user input 808 of the rotatable input mechanism 804 enables the computer system 800 to enter a mode in which the astronomical object 806g can be displayed at times other than the current time (e.g., past and / or future times). Therefore, in response to detecting the user input 808, the computer system 800 displays a third portion of the astronomical object 806g to provide a field of view including the entire astronomical object 806g before the current time is displayed at different times.

[0360] The third section of Astronomical Object 806g includes a complete view of the solar system, including all eight planets and the Sun, arranged as they would appear in a solar system diagram or other representation of the solar system. In some embodiments, the third section of Astronomical Object 806g reflects the current arrangement of the solar system on the current date, such that the planets of Astronomical Object 806g are arranged in their orbits around the Sun at the current date.

[0361] After detecting (e.g., in response to) user input 808 that further rotates rotatable input mechanism 804 in a clockwise direction, computer system 800 updates clock user interface 806 to display astronomical object 806g for a number of months in the future that is proportional to the amount of rotation provided by user input 808, as shown in Figure 8R Accordingly, computer system 800 updates the positions of the planets in astronomical object 806g to be relevant to the selected October. In addition, clock user interface 806 displays an offset 806i between the current date and the displayed date.

[0362] After detecting (e.g., in response to) user input 808 that rotates rotatable input mechanism 804 in a counterclockwise direction, computer system 800 updates clock user interface 806 to display astronomical object 806g for a number of days in the past that is proportional to the amount of rotation provided by user input 808, as shown in Figure 8S Accordingly, computer system 800 updates the positions of the planets in astronomical object 806g to be relevant to the selected December. In addition, clock user interface 806 displays an offset 806i between the current date and the displayed date.

[0363] As described above, in some embodiments, the displayed astronomical object is selected by the user. Figure 8T An example of a user interface in which the user can select the astronomical object to be displayed is illustrated. In Figure 8T , computer system 800 displays selection interface 810 and detects user input 812 that indicates a selection of astronomical object 806g. In response to detecting user input 812 that indicates a selection of astronomical object 806g, computer system displays clock user interface 806 that includes a view or portion of astronomical object 806g.

[0364] In some embodiments, the astronomical object (e.g., astronomical object 806a, astronomical object 806f, and / or astronomical object 806g) can change after detecting a predetermined event. For example, when displaying the first view of astronomical object 806a as shown in Figure 8A , computer system 800 detects a predetermined condition and displays the second view of astronomical object 806f as shown in Figure 8J In some embodiments, whether the astronomical object changes in response to detecting a predetermined event is based on a selection of a setting. Accordingly, when a setting to change the astronomical object in response to detecting a predetermined event is selected, then the astronomical object can change as described above. In contrast, when a setting to change the astronomical object in response to detecting a predetermined event is not selected, then a different view of the currently selected astronomical object is displayed, rather than a different astronomical object. For example, when a setting to change the astronomical object in response to detecting a predetermined event is not selected, then computer system 800 will display a different view of astronomical object 806a from the view shown in Figure 8AThe first view of astronomical object 806a shown is transitioned to display a second view of astronomical object 806a, e.g., a third view of astronomical object 806a. Figure 8D The first view of astronomical object 806a shown is transitioned to display a second view of astronomical object 806a, e.g., a third view of astronomical object 806a.

[0365] Figure 9 is a flowchart illustrating a method for displaying a current time while displaying an astronomical object using a computer system (e.g., 800) in accordance with some embodiments. The method 900 is performed at a computer system 800 (e.g., a smart watch, a wearable electronic device, a smart phone, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, or a tablet computer) in communication with a display generation component (e.g., 802) (e.g., a display controller and / or a touch-sensitive display system). In some embodiments, the computer system is in communication with one or more input devices (e.g., buttons, a rotatable input mechanism, a speaker, a camera, a motion detector (e.g., an accelerometer and / or a gyroscope), and / or a touch-sensitive surface). In some embodiments, the rotatable input mechanism is on a surface of the computer system that is perpendicular to a surface of the display generation component. In some embodiments, the rotatable mechanism is on the right or left side of the display generation component (e.g., the display generation component is on the front side of the computer system, while the rotatable input mechanism is on the right or left side of the computer system). In some embodiments, the rotatable mechanism rotates clockwise and counterclockwise. In some embodiments, the rotatable mechanism is capable of rotating about an axis that is perpendicular to a direction that is normal to a surface of the display generation component (e.g., movement of the rotatable mechanism is in a plane that is not parallel to a surface of the display generation component). Some operations in method 900 are, optionally, combined, the order of some operations is, optionally, changed, and some operations are, optionally, omitted.

[0366] As described below, method 900 provides an intuitive way for displaying a current time while displaying an astronomical object. This method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for viewing a current time while displaying an astronomical object, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to view a current time more quickly and efficiently while displaying an astronomical object conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.

[0367] In the method 900, the computer system (e.g., 800) displays (902), via the display generation component (e.g., 802), a clock user interface (e.g., 806) (e.g., a watch face user interface, a user interface including a time indication (e.g., an analog and / or digital indication of time) (e.g., 806b)), including concurrently displaying (e.g., in the user interface and / or concurrently with the time indication): a first portion (904) of an astronomical object (e.g., 806a, 806f, or 806g) (e.g., a first portion of a representation or a first portion of an image) (e.g., Earth, Moon, Sun, planet, asteroid, star, and / or a solar system map (e.g., 806a, 806f, or 806g)); and an optional user interface element (906) (e.g., 806c) (e.g., a complication). In some embodiments, the clock user interface is displayed on a wearable electronic device. In some embodiments, the clock user interface is displayed on a smart phone. In some embodiments, the clock user interface is displayed on a tablet. In some embodiments, displaying the first portion of the astronomical object includes displaying a first view, visual cutout, and / or perspective (e.g., a view of the astronomical object in a first orientation) of the astronomical object. In some embodiments, the user interface object is associated with an application. In some embodiments, a complication refers to any clock face feature other than hours and minutes for indicating time (e.g., clock hands or hour / minute indications). In some embodiments, the complication provides data obtained from an application. In some embodiments, the complication includes an affordance that, when selected, launches the corresponding application. In some embodiments, the complication is displayed at a fixed, predefined location on the display.

[0368] The computer system (e.g., 800) detects an occurrence of a predetermined event (e.g., a set of one or more inputs, a raise or rotate gesture, a raise or rotate gesture following a device in a low power display state (e.g., due to a request to transition the device to the low power display state and / or a corresponding period of time elapsing without receiving user input) (e.g., 808), a set of one or more touch gestures (e.g., on a touch-sensitive surface), a voice command, a button press, and / or a rotation of a rotatable input mechanism (e.g., 804) (e.g., 808)). In response to detecting the occurrence of the predetermined event (910) (or optionally after this), the computer system displays, via the display generation component (e.g., 802), a clock user interface (e.g., 806). Displaying the clock user interface includes concurrently displaying (e.g., in the user interface and / or concurrently with the time indication): a second portion of the astronomical object (912) (e.g., 806a, 806f, or 806g) (and optionally not displaying the first portion of the astronomical object), the second portion being different from the first portion of the astronomical object (e.g., a different crop, a different angle, a different view, a different perspective of the same location on the astronomical object, a different location of the astronomical object on the display or relative to the time and / or date indication, a different location relative to an optional user interface element, e.g., 806c); and an optional user interface element (914). In some embodiments, displaying the second portion of the astronomical object includes displaying a second view, visual cutout, and / or perspective of the astronomical object (e.g., a view of the astronomical object in a second orientation). Displaying the second portion of the astronomical object in response to detecting the occurrence of the predetermined event provides the user with a visual indication that the predetermined event has occurred and provides a change in the user interface without requiring the user to manually edit the user interface (e.g., without requiring the user to navigate to edit the user interface), thereby providing improved visual feedback and reducing the number of inputs needed to perform the operation.

[0369] In some embodiments, the first and / or second portions of an astronomical object (e.g., 806a, 806f, or 806g) are predetermined (e.g., showing the same side of the Moon and / or the same view of the solar system). In some embodiments, the first and / or second portions of the astronomical object are based on the current position of a computer system (e.g., 800) (e.g., the orientation of the Earth is based on the location of the computer system). In some embodiments, the clock user interface (e.g., 806) includes an indication of the current time (e.g., before and / or after a predetermined event is detected). In some embodiments, the indication of the current time is a digital clock representing the current time. In some embodiments, the first and / or second portions of the astronomical object are selected from a set of portions (e.g., one of eight different crops). In some embodiments, the first and / or second portions of the astronomical object are pseudo-randomly selected (e.g., these portions will not repeat but would not have been intentionally selected otherwise). In some embodiments, optional user interface elements (e.g., 806c) are complex function blocks. In some embodiments, in response to user input (e.g., 808) (e.g., via an edit mode for a clock user interface), complex function blocks are removed. In some embodiments, the astronomical object has a depth effect relative to optional user interface elements. In some embodiments, the astronomical object is displayed behind optional user interface elements. In some embodiments, the astronomical object is displayed on top of optional user interface elements. In some embodiments, the astronomical object partially overlaps with optional user interface elements. In some embodiments, the optional user interface elements partially overlap with the astronomical object. In some embodiments, a first portion of the astronomical object includes a second portion of the astronomical object. In some embodiments, the first portion of the astronomical object includes a portion of the second portion of the astronomical object (e.g., the first and second portions share a portion). In some embodiments, the second portion of the astronomical object includes the first portion of the astronomical object. In some embodiments, the display of optional user interface elements is maintained when the second portion of the astronomical object is displayed (e.g., when changing from displaying the first portion of the astronomical object to displaying the second portion of the astronomical object). In some embodiments, the display of a time indicator is maintained when the second portion of the astronomical object is displayed (e.g., when changing from displaying the first portion of the astronomical object to displaying the second portion of the astronomical object).

[0370] In some embodiments, the appearance of the astronomical object (e.g., 806a, 806f, or 806g) indicates the current time and / or date (e.g., indicated with 806b and / or 806c). The appearance of the astronomical object indicating the current time and / or date provides the user with an accurate representation of the astronomical object and an indication of the current time and / or date (e.g., in addition to a traditional digital or analog representation of the time and / or date), which provides improved visual feedback. In some embodiments, the appearance of the astronomical object indicates the current time by being displayed as the astronomical object will appear at the current time of day (e.g., after sunset, at the location of the computer system (e.g., 800) on Earth, the location of the computer system is displayed in shadow, and during the day, at the location of the computer system on Earth, the location of the computer system is displayed in light). In some embodiments, the appearance of the Earth indicates the current time of day by showing the current position of the terminator (e.g., the line separating day and night). In some embodiments, lights are displayed for cities on Earth as the sun shines on those cities. In some embodiments, the appearance of the solar system diagram indicates the current time and / or date by showing the current position of the planets relative to the sun as the planets will appear at the current time and / or date. In some embodiments, the appearance of the moon indicates the day by being displayed with the current phase of the moon. In some embodiments, the appearance of the stars indicates the current time and / or date by being displayed as the stars will be seen relative to the current position of the Earth.

[0371] In some embodiments, the astronomical object is the Earth (e.g., 806a), the moon (e.g., 806f) (e.g., the moon of the Earth), or a solar system diagram (e.g., 806g) (e.g., a representation of the solar system).

[0372] In some embodiments, the first portion of the astronomical object is a portion of a first astronomical object (e.g., 806a, 806f, or 806g) (e.g., in a set of astronomical objects), and the second portion of the astronomical object is a portion of a second astronomical object (e.g., 806a, 806f, or 806g) (e.g., in the set of astronomical objects) that is different from the first astronomical object. Displaying a different astronomical object in response to detecting the occurrence of the predetermined event provides the user with a visual indication that the predetermined event has occurred and provides a change in the user interface without requiring the user to manually edit the user interface (e.g., without requiring the user to navigate to edit the user interface), thereby providing improved visual feedback and reducing the number of inputs needed to perform the operation. In some embodiments, the user can select the Earth, the moon, or the solar system diagram to be randomly displayed in response to detecting the occurrence of the predetermined event.

[0373] In some embodiments, displaying, via the display generation component (e.g., 802), the user interface that includes the astronomical object at the first zoom level (e.g., as described above with reference to FIG. 6A) includes displaying, via the display generation component, the user interface that includes the astronomical object at the first zoom level in response to detecting the occurrence of the predetermined event (e.g., as described above with reference to FIG. 6A). Figure 8A, Figure 8B or Figure 8D As shown in the figure, 806a, such as Figure 8I or Figure 8J The 806f shown is as follows: Figure 8O or Figure 8P When the clock user interface (e.g., 806g) shown in Figure 806 is displayed (e.g., when displaying the first or second part of an astronomical object), the computer system (e.g., 800) detects a first user input (e.g., 808) (e.g., rotation of a rotatable input mechanism, tap gesture, and / or swipe gesture). In response to the detection of the first user input, the computer system, via a display generation component (e.g., 802), displays the clock at a second zoom level different from the first zoom level (e.g., as shown in Figure 806g). Figure 8E As shown in 806a, such as Figure 8K As shown in the figure, 806f, such as Figure 8Q As shown in 806g), an astronomical object is displayed, and the astronomical object appears at the current time (e.g., displaying a predetermined amount of the astronomical object and / or the entire astronomical object); in some embodiments, displaying the first amount of the astronomical object includes zooming out to display the entire astronomical object as displayed when the first user input is detected. While displaying the astronomical object at a second zoom level via the display generation component, the computer system detects a second user input (e.g., 808) (e.g., rotation of the rotatable input mechanism (e.g., 804), a tap gesture, a swipe gesture, a continuation of the first user input, and / or a second portion of the first user input, such as a continuation or further rotation of the rotatable input mechanism; in some embodiments, the second user input is a continuation of the first user input (e.g., an additional rotation of the rotatable input mechanism)). In response to detecting a second user input, the computer system displays an indication of a corresponding time and / or date other than the current time and / or date (e.g., 806h) via a display generation component (e.g., the non-current time is a future or past time; in some embodiments, the user input is rotating a rotatable input mechanism, and the direction of the user input turning the crown determines whether a future or past date is displayed); in some embodiments, the computer system displays an offset from the current time (e.g., 806i) (e.g., +3 hours or -2 hours; e.g., +5 days or -6 days; e.g., +7 years; e.g., -10 years) in place of or concurrently with an indication of a non-current time; and displays astronomical objects at a second zoom level via the display generation component, and the astronomical objects appear at the corresponding time and / or date (e.g., as shown in the image). Figure 8F , Figure 8G Or 806a as shown in 8H; such as Figure 8K , Figure 8L , Figure 8M Or 806f as shown in 8N; such as Figure 8RThe illustrated 806g) (e.g., the astronomical object is displayed as it would appear at a future / past date and / or time). Displaying the astronomical object at the second zoom level and the astronomical object appearing at the current time in response to detecting the first user input indicates that the user interface is in a state in which the user can interact with the user interface and / or edit the user interface via further input, evidencing improved visual feedback. Displaying an indication of a respective time and / or date other than the current time and / or date and the astronomical object in response to the second input and the astronomical object appearing at the respective time and / or date provides the user with an efficient way to view additional information related to the astronomical object and reduces the number of inputs needed to access the information, thereby providing improved visual feedback and reducing the number of inputs needed to perform the operation.

[0374] In some embodiments, the Earth (e.g., 806a) is displayed with an end symbol in a position in which the end symbol would be in the future / past date and / or time, and a star is displayed as it would appear in the future / past date and / or time relative to the Earth. In some embodiments, the Moon (e.g., 806f) is displayed with a phase (e.g., 806m) that corresponds to a past / future date. In some embodiments, a representation of the solar system (e.g., 806g) is displayed with the planets in positions that the planets would occupy at a past / future date. In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 800) displays a zoomed-out view of the object at the current time in response to detecting a tap or rotation input, and then displays a zoomed-out view of the object while the rotatable input mechanism is rotating (e.g., within a predetermined amount of time after the first user input (e.g., 808)) displays a time and / or date other than the current time and changes the appearance of the astronomical object to reflect the non-current time; in some embodiments, detecting input above a threshold changes the zoom of the astronomical object and displays the astronomical object as it would appear at a future or past date / time (e.g., depending on the direction and / or magnitude of the input).

[0375] In some embodiments, in response to detecting the first user input (e.g., 808) (or the second user input), the computer system (e.g., 800), via the display generation component (e.g., 802), displays (e.g., concurrently with the astronomical object at the second zoom level) an indication of a calendar date in a first calendar system that divides years in a first set of subdivisions (e.g., 8061) and an indication of a calendar date in a second calendar system that divides years in a second set of subdivisions different from the first set of subdivisions (e.g., dates according to the lunar calendar; the lunar dates correspond to the same dates as the displayed solar dates). Displaying the indication of the calendar date in the first calendar system that divides years in the first set of subdivisions and the indication of the calendar date in the second calendar system that divides years in the second set of subdivisions different from the first set of subdivisions in response to detecting the first input provides an efficient way for the user to view additional information related to the astronomical object and reduces the number of inputs needed to access the information, thereby providing improved visual feedback and reducing the number of inputs needed to perform the operation.

[0376] In some embodiments, the calendar dates of the first calendar system correspond to the calendar dates of the second calendar system. In some embodiments, the indication of the solar date and the indication of the lunar date are displayed in accordance with a determination that the astronomical object is the moon. In some embodiments, the solar date and the lunar date correspond to a current date. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the second user input (e.g., 808), the solar date and the lunar date correspond to respective times and / or dates other than the current time and / or date. In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 800) changes the displayed indication of the solar date and the indication of the lunar date as it detects user input (e.g., as the device detects rotation of the rotatable...
