[0022] The following description sets forth exemplary methods, parameters, etc. However, it should be appreciated that such description is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure, but is provided as a description of exemplary embodiments.

[0023] There is a need for electronic devices that enable a user to control the presentation of an image on a second device in response to user input received at a first device when the first and second devices are communicatively linked. Such techniques may reduce the cognitive burden on users who use such devices and / or wish to control their use of such devices. In addition, such techniques may reduce processor power and battery power that would otherwise be wasted on redundant user input.

[0024] Although the following description uses the terms "first", "second", etc. to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by the terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another element. For example, a first touch can be named a second touch and similarly a second touch can be named a first touch without departing from the scope of the various described embodiments. Both the first touch and the second touch are touches, but they are not the same touch.

[0025] The terms used in the description of various described embodiments herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to be limited. As used in the description of various described embodiments and in the appended claims, the singular forms "one" and "the" are intended to also include plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will also be understood that the term "and / or" used herein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more items in the associated listed items. It will also be understood that the terms "including" and / or "comprising" when used in this specification specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components and / or their grouping.

[0026] The term "if" is optionally interpreted to mean "when," "upon," or "in response to determining," or "in response to detecting," depending on the context. Similarly, the phrases "if it is determined that ..." or "if [a stated condition or event] is detected" are optionally interpreted to mean "upon determining that ..." or "in response to determining that ..." or "upon detecting [a stated condition or event]," or "in response to detecting [a stated condition or event]," depending on the context.

[0027] Embodiments of electronic devices, user interfaces for such devices, and associated processes for using such devices are described herein. In some embodiments, the device is a portable communication device, such as a mobile phone, that also includes other functions, such as a PDA and / or a music player function. Exemplary embodiments of portable multifunction devices include, but are not limited to, the Apple Watch from Apple Inc. (Cupertino, California). Devices, iPod Equipment and Device. Other portable electronic devices are optionally used, such as laptop computers or tablet computers with touch-sensitive surfaces (e.g., touch screen displays and / or touch pads). It should also be understood that in some embodiments, the device is not a portable communication device, but a desktop computer with a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touch screen displays and / or touch pads).

[0028] In the following discussion, an electronic device including a display and a touch-sensitive surface is described. However, it should be understood that the electronic device optionally includes one or more other physical user interface devices, such as a physical keyboard, mouse and / or joystick.

[0029] The device typically supports a variety of applications, such as one or more of the following: a drawing application, a presentation application, a word processing application, a website creation application, a disk editing application, a spreadsheet application, a gaming application, a telephony application, a video conferencing application, an email application, an instant messaging application, a fitness support application, a photo management application, a digital camera application, a digital video camera application, a web browsing application, a digital music player application, and / or a digital video player application.

[0030] Various applications executed on the device optionally use at least one common physical user interface device, such as a touch-sensitive surface. One or more functions of the touch-sensitive surface and corresponding information displayed on the device are optionally adjusted and / or varied for different applications, and / or adjusted and / or varied within the respective applications. In this way, the common physical architecture of the device (such as a touch-sensitive surface) optionally supports various applications with a user interface that is intuitive and clear to the user.

[0031] Attention is now turned to embodiments of portable devices having touch-sensitive displays. Figure 1Ais a block diagram showing a portable multifunction device 100 with a touch-sensitive display system 112 according to some embodiments. The touch-sensitive display 112 is sometimes referred to as a "touch screen" for convenience, and is sometimes referred to as or referred to as a "touch-sensitive display system." The device 100 includes a memory 102 (which optionally includes one or more computer-readable storage media), a memory controller 122, one or more processing units (CPUs) 120, a peripheral device interface 118, an RF circuit 108, an audio circuit 110, a speaker 111, a microphone 113, an input / output (I / O) subsystem 106, other input control devices 116, and an external port 124. The device 100 optionally includes one or more optical sensors 164. The device 100 optionally includes one or more contact force sensors 165 for detecting the intensity of contact on the device 100 (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface, such as the touch-sensitive display system 112 of the device 100). Device 100 optionally includes one or more tactile output generators 167 for generating tactile output on device 100 (e.g., generating tactile output on a touch-sensitive surface such as touch-sensitive display system 112 of device 100 or touch pad 355 of device 300). These components optionally communicate via one or more communication buses or signal lines 103.

[0032] As used in this specification and claims, the term "intensity" of a contact on a touch-sensitive surface refers to the force or pressure (force per unit area) of a contact (e.g., a finger contact) on the touch-sensitive surface, or to a surrogate (surrogate) of the force or pressure of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface. The intensity of a contact has a range of values ​​that includes at least four different values ​​and more typically includes hundreds of different values ​​(e.g., at least 256). The intensity of a contact is optionally determined (or measured) using various methods and various sensors or combinations of sensors. For example, one or more force sensors below or adjacent to the touch-sensitive surface are optionally used to measure the force at different points on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, force measurements from multiple force sensors are combined (e.g., weighted average) to determine an estimated contact force. Similarly, the pressure-sensitive tip of a stylus is optionally used to determine the pressure of the stylus on the touch-sensitive surface. Alternatively, the size of the contact area detected on the touch-sensitive surface and / or its change, the capacitance of the touch-sensitive surface near the contact and / or its change, and / or the resistance of the touch-sensitive surface near the contact and / or its change are optionally used as a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface. In some embodiments, the substitute measurement of the contact force or pressure is used directly to determine whether the intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is described in units corresponding to the substitute measurement). In some embodiments, the substitute measurement of the contact force or pressure is converted into an estimated force or pressure, and the estimated force or pressure is used to determine whether the intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is a pressure threshold measured in units of pressure). Using the intensity of the contact as an attribute of the user input allows the user to access additional device functions that would otherwise be inaccessible to the user on a smaller device with limited real estate, which is used to display an enable indication (e.g., on a touch-sensitive display) and / or receive user input (e.g., via a touch-sensitive display, touch-sensitive surface, or physical / mechanical controls, such as knobs or buttons).

[0033] As used in this specification and claims, the term "tactile output" refers to a physical displacement of a device relative to a previous position of the device, a physical displacement of a component of the device (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface) relative to another component of the device (e.g., a housing), or a displacement of a component relative to the center of mass of the device, which will be detected by a user using the user's sense of touch. For example, in the case where a device or a component of the device is in contact with a user's touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a finger, palm, or other part of the user's hand), the tactile output generated by the physical displacement will be interpreted by the user as a tactile sensation corresponding to a perceived change in the physical properties of the device or component of the device. For example, movement of a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch-sensitive display or trackpad) is optionally interpreted by the user as a "press click" or "release click" to a physical actuation button. In some cases, the user will feel a tactile sensation, such as a "press click" or "release click", even when the physical actuation button associated with the touch-sensitive surface that is physically pressed (e.g., displaced) by the user's movement does not move. As another example, movement of a touch-sensitive surface may optionally be interpreted or sensed by a user as "roughness" of the touch-sensitive surface even when there is no change in the smoothness of the touch-sensitive surface. While such a user's interpretation of touch will be limited by the user's individualized sensory perceptions, many sensory perceptions of touch are common to most users. Thus, when a tactile output is described as corresponding to a particular sensory perception of a user (e.g., "press click," "release click," "roughness"), unless otherwise stated, the generated tactile output corresponds to a physical displacement of the device or a component thereof that would generate that sensory perception for a typical (or average) user.

[0034] It should be understood that device 100 is merely one example of a portable multifunction device, and that device 100 optionally has more or fewer components than shown, optionally combines two or more components, or optionally has a different configuration or arrangement of the components. Figure 1A The various components shown are implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of both hardware and software, including one or more signal processing and / or application specific integrated circuits.

[0035] Memory 102 optionally includes high-speed random access memory, and optionally also includes non-volatile memory, such as one or more disk storage devices, flash memory devices or other non-volatile solid-state memory devices. Memory controller 122 optionally controls other components of device 100 to access memory 102.

[0036] The peripheral device interface 118 can be used to couple the input peripheral devices and output peripheral devices of the device to the CPU 120 and the memory 102. The one or more processors 120 run or execute various software programs and / or instruction sets stored in the memory 102 to perform various functions of the device 100 and process data. In some embodiments, the peripheral device interface 118, the CPU 120, and the memory controller 122 are optionally implemented on a single chip such as the chip 104. In some other embodiments, they are optionally implemented on separate chips.

[0037] RF (radio frequency) circuit 108 receives and sends RF signals, also referred to as electromagnetic signals. RF circuit 108 converts electrical signals into / converts electromagnetic signals into electrical signals, and communicates with communication networks and other communication devices via electromagnetic signals.

[0038] The audio circuit 110, speaker 111, and microphone 113 provide an audio interface between a user and the device 100. The audio circuit 110 receives audio data from the peripheral device interface 118, converts the audio data into electrical signals, and transmits the electrical signals to the speaker 111. The speaker 111 converts the electrical signals into sound waves audible to humans. The audio circuit 110 also receives electrical signals converted from sound waves by the microphone 113. The audio circuit 110 converts the electrical signals into audio data and transmits the audio data to the peripheral device interface 118 for processing. The audio data is optionally retrieved from and / or transmitted to the memory 102 and / or the RF circuit 108 by the peripheral device interface 118. In some embodiments, the audio circuit 110 also includes a headset jack (e.g., Figure 2 The headset jack provides an interface between the audio circuit 110 and a removable audio input / output peripheral device, such as an output-only headset or a headset having both output (e.g., a single or dual-ear headset) and input (e.g., a microphone).

[0039] The I / O subsystem 106 couples input / output peripherals on the device 100, such as a touch screen 112 and other input control devices 116, to a peripheral device interface 118. The I / O subsystem 106 optionally includes a display controller 156, an optical sensor controller 158, an intensity sensor controller 159, a tactile feedback controller 161, and one or more input controllers 160 for other input or control devices. The one or more input controllers 160 receive / send electrical signals from other input control devices 116. The other input control devices 116 optionally include physical buttons (e.g., push buttons, rocker buttons, etc.), dials, slide switches, joysticks, click wheels, etc. In some alternative embodiments, the input controller 160 is optionally coupled to any of the following (or none of the following): a keyboard, an infrared port, a USB port, and a pointing device such as a mouse.

The one or more buttons optionally include a push button (e.g., Figure 2 206).

[0040] A quick press of the push button optionally disengages the lock of the touch screen 112 or optionally begins the process of unlocking the device using gestures on the touch screen, as described in U.S. Patent Application 11 / 322,549, filed on December 23, 2005, entitled "Unlocking a Device by Performing Gestures on an Unlock Image" (i.e., U.S. Patent No. 7,657,849), which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. A long press of the push button (e.g., 206) optionally turns the device 100 on or off. The functions of one or more buttons are optionally user-customizable. The touch screen 112 is used to implement virtual buttons or soft buttons and one or more soft keyboards.

[0041] The touch-sensitive display 112 provides an input interface and an output interface between the device and the user. The display controller 156 receives electrical signals from the touch screen 112 and / or sends electrical signals to the touch screen. The touch screen 112 displays visual output to the user. The visual output optionally includes graphics, text, icons, videos, and any combination thereof (collectively referred to as "graphics"). In some embodiments, some or all of the visual output optionally corresponds to user interface objects.

[0042] The touch screen 112 has a touch-sensitive surface, sensor, or sensor group that accepts input from a user based on tactile and / or haptic contact. The touch screen 112 and display controller 156 (together with any associated modules and / or instruction sets in memory 102) detect contact (and any movement or interruption of the contact) on the touch screen 112 and convert the detected contact into interaction with a user interface object (e.g., one or more soft keys, icons, web pages, or images) displayed on the touch screen 112. In an exemplary embodiment, the point of contact between the touch screen 112 and the user corresponds to the user's finger.

[0043] The touch screen 112 optionally uses LCD (liquid crystal display) technology, LPD (light emitting polymer display) technology, or LED (light emitting diode) technology, although other display technologies are used in other embodiments. The touch screen 112 and display controller 156 optionally use any of a variety of touch sensing technologies now known or later developed, including but not limited to capacitive, resistive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave technologies, as well as other proximity sensor arrays or other elements for determining one or more points of contact with the touch screen 112 to detect contact and any movement or interruption thereof.

[0044] The touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of touch screen 112 is optionally similar to the multi-touch-sensitive touchpad described in the following U.S. Patents: 6,323,846 (Westerman et al.), 6,570,557 (Westerman et al.), and / or 6,677,932 (Westerman et al.), and / or U.S. Patent Publication 2002 / 0015024A1, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. However, touch screen 112 displays visual output from device 100, while a touch-sensitive touchpad does not provide visual output.

[0045] The touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of the touch screen 112 is described in the following applications: (1) U.S. patent application No. 11 / 381,313, filed on May 2, 2006, "Multipoint Touch Surface Controller"; (2) U.S. patent application No. 10 / 840,862, filed on May 6, 2004, "Multipoint Touchscreen"; (3) U.S. patent application No. 10 / 903,964, filed on July 30, 2004, "Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices"; (4) U.S. patent application No. 11 / 048,264, filed on January 31, 2005, "Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices"; (5) U.S. patent application No. 11 / 038,590, filed on January 18, 2005, "Mode-Based Graphical User Interfaces For Touch Sensitive Input Devices”; (6) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 228,758, filed on September 16, 2005, “Virtual Input Device Placement On A Touch Screen User Interface”; (7) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 228,700, filed on September 16, 2005, “Operation Of A Computer With A Touch Screen Interface”; (8) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 228,737, filed on September 16, 2005, “Activating Virtual Keys Of A Touch-Screen Virtual Keyboard”; and (9) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 367,749, filed on March 3, 2006, “Multi-Functional Hand-Held Device”. All of these applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

[0046] The touch screen 112 optionally has a video resolution of more than 100 dpi. In some embodiments, the touch screen has a video resolution of about 160 dpi. The user optionally uses any suitable object or attachment such as a stylus, a finger, etc. to contact the touch screen 112. In some embodiments, the user interface is designed to work primarily through finger-based contacts and gestures, which may not be as accurate as stylus-based input due to the larger contact area of ​​the finger on the touch screen. In some embodiments, the device converts rough finger-based input into precise pointer / cursor positioning or commands for performing the actions desired by the user.

[0047] In some embodiments, in addition to the touch screen, the device 100 optionally includes a touchpad (not shown) for activating or deactivating specific functions. In some embodiments, the touchpad is a touch-sensitive area of ​​the device that, unlike the touch screen, does not display visual output. The touchpad is optionally a touch-sensitive surface that is separate from the touch screen 112 or is an extension of the touch-sensitive surface formed by the touch screen.

[0048] Device 100 also includes a power system 162 for powering the various components. Power system 162 optionally includes a power management system, one or more power sources (e.g., batteries, alternating current (AC)), a recharging system, power fault detection circuits, power converters or inverters, power status indicators (e.g., light emitting diodes (LEDs)), and any other components associated with the generation, management, and distribution of power in a portable device.

[0049] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more optical sensors 164 . Figure 1AAn optical sensor coupled to an optical sensor controller 158 in the I / O subsystem 106 is shown. The optical sensor 164 optionally includes a charge coupled device (CCD) or a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistor. The optical sensor 164 receives light projected through one or more lenses from the environment and converts the light into data representing an image. In conjunction with the imaging module 143 (also called a camera module), the optical sensor 164 optionally captures a static image or video. In some embodiments, the optical sensor is located on the rear of the device 100, opposite to the touch screen display 112 on the front of the device, so that the touch screen display can be used as a viewfinder for static image and / or video image acquisition. In some embodiments, the optical sensor is located on the front of the device so that when the user views other video conference participants on the touch screen display, the image of the user is optionally obtained for video conferencing. In some embodiments, the positioning of the optical sensor 164 can be changed by the user (e.g., by rotating the lens and sensor in the device housing) so that a single optical sensor 164 is used with the touch screen display for both video conferencing and static image and / or video image acquisition.

[0050] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165 . Figure 1A A contact force sensor is shown coupled to a force sensor controller 159 in the I / O subsystem 106. Contact force sensor 165 optionally includes one or more piezoresistive strain gauges, capacitive force sensors, electrical force sensors, piezoelectric force sensors, optical force sensors, capacitive touch-sensitive surfaces, or other force sensors (e.g., sensors for measuring the force (or pressure) of contact on a touch-sensitive surface). Contact force sensor 165 receives contact force information (e.g., pressure information or a surrogate for pressure information) from the environment. In some embodiments, at least one contact force sensor is juxtaposed or adjacent to a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touch-sensitive display system 112). In some embodiments, at least one contact force sensor is located on the back of device 100, opposite to touch screen display 112 located on the front of device 100.

[0051] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more proximity sensors 166 . Figure 1AA proximity sensor 166 is shown coupled to the peripherals interface 118. Alternatively, the proximity sensor 166 is optionally coupled to the input controller 160 in the I / O subsystem 106. The proximity sensor 166 is optionally implemented as described in the following U.S. patent application numbers: 11 / 241,839, entitled "Proximity Detector In Handheld Device"; 11 / 240,788, entitled "Proximity Detector In Handheld Device"; 11 / 620,702, entitled "Using Ambient Light Sensor To Augment Proximity Sensor Output"; 11 / 586,862, entitled "Automated Response To And Sensing Of User Activity In Portable Devices"; and 11 / 638,251, entitled "Methods And Systems For Automatic Configuration Of Peripherals", which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. In some embodiments, when the multifunction device is placed near the user's ear (e.g., when the user is on a phone call), the proximity sensor turns off and disables the touch screen 112.

[0052] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more tactile output generators 167 . Figure 1A A tactile output generator is shown coupled to a tactile feedback controller 161 in the I / O subsystem 106. The tactile output generator 167 optionally includes one or more electroacoustic devices such as a speaker or other audio component; and / or an electromechanical device for converting energy into linear motion such as a motor, solenoid, electroactive polymer, piezoelectric actuator, electrostatic actuator, or other tactile output generating component (e.g., a component for converting an electrical signal into a tactile output on the device). The contact force sensor 165 receives tactile feedback generation instructions from the tactile feedback module 133 and generates a tactile output on the device 100 that can be felt by a user of the device 100. In some embodiments, at least one tactile output generator is arranged in parallel or adjacent to a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch-sensitive display system 112) and optionally generates a tactile output by moving the touch-sensitive surface vertically (e.g., inward / outward of the surface of the device 100) or laterally (e.g., backward and forward in the same plane as the surface of the device 100). In some embodiments, at least one tactile output generator sensor is located on the back of the device 100, opposite the touch screen display 112 located on the front of the device 100.

[0053] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more accelerometers 168 . Figure 1A An accelerometer 168 coupled to the peripheral device interface 118 is shown. Alternatively, the accelerometer 168 is optionally coupled to the input controller 160 in the I / O subsystem 106. The accelerometer 168 is optionally implemented as described in the following U.S. Patent Publication Nos.: 20050190059, entitled "Acceleration-based Theft Detection System for Portable Electronic Devices" and 20060017692, entitled "Methods And Apparatuses For Operating A Portable Device Based On An Accelerometer", both of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. In some embodiments, information is displayed in a portrait view or a landscape view on the touch screen display based on analysis of data received from one or more accelerometers. The device 100 optionally includes a magnetometer (not shown) and a GPS (or GLONASS or other global navigation system) receiver (not shown) in addition to the accelerometer 168 for obtaining information about the position and orientation (e.g., portrait or landscape) of the device 100.

[0054] In some embodiments, the software components stored in memory 102 include an operating system 126, a communication module (or instruction set) 128, a contact / motion module (or instruction set) 130, a graphics module (or instruction set) 132, a text input module (or instruction set) 134, a global positioning system (GPS) module (or instruction set) 135, and an application (or instruction set) 136. In addition, in some embodiments, memory 102 ( Figure 1A ) or 370( Figure 3 ) storage device / global internal state 157, such as Figure 1A and Figure 3 . The device / global internal state 157 includes one or more of the following: active application state, which indicates which application (if any) is currently active; display state, which indicates what applications, views, or other information occupy various areas of the touch screen display 112; sensor state, including information obtained from the device's various sensors and input control devices 116; and position information related to the device's position and / or posture.

[0055] The operating system 126 (e.g., Darwin, RTXC, LINUX, UNIX, OS X, iOS, WINDOWS, or an embedded operating system such as VxWorks) includes various software components and / or drivers for controlling and managing general system tasks (e.g., memory management, storage device control, power management, etc.), and facilitating communication between various hardware components and software components.

[0056] The communication module 128 facilitates communication with other devices through one or more external ports 124, and also includes various software components for processing data received by the RF circuit 108 and / or the external port 124. The external port 124 (e.g., Universal Serial Bus (USB), FireWire, etc.) is suitable for coupling directly to other devices, or indirectly through a network (e.g., the Internet, wireless LAN, etc.). In some embodiments, the external port is connected to (trademark of Apple Inc.) devices.

[0057] The contact / motion module 130 optionally detects contact with the touch screen 112 (in conjunction with the display controller 156) and other touch-sensitive devices (e.g., a touchpad or physical click wheel). The contact / motion module 130 includes various software components for performing various operations related to contact detection, such as determining whether contact has occurred (e.g., detecting a finger press event), determining the contact strength (e.g., the force or pressure of the contact, or a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact), determining whether there is movement of the contact and tracking the movement on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., detecting one or more finger drag events), and determining whether the contact has stopped (e.g., detecting a finger lift event or contact disconnection). The contact / motion module 130 receives contact data from the touch-sensitive surface. Determining the movement of the contact point optionally includes determining the rate (magnitude), velocity (magnitude and direction) and / or acceleration (change in magnitude and / or direction) of the contact point, the movement of the contact point being represented by a series of contact data. These operations are optionally applied to a single point of contact (e.g., a single finger contact) or multiple points of simultaneous contact (e.g., "multi-touch" / multiple finger contacts). In some embodiments, the contact / motion module 130 and display controller 156 detect contact on the touch pad.

[0058] In some embodiments, the contact / motion module 130 uses a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an action has been performed by a user (e.g., to determine whether a user has "clicked" an icon). In some embodiments, at least a subset of the intensity thresholds are determined based on software parameters (e.g., the intensity thresholds are not determined by the activation thresholds of specific physical actuators and can be adjusted without changing the physical hardware of the device 100). For example, without changing the touchpad or touchscreen display hardware, the mouse "click" threshold of a touchpad or touchscreen can be set to any one of a large range of predefined thresholds. Additionally, in some specific implementations, a software setting is provided to the user of the device for adjusting one or more intensity thresholds in a set of intensity thresholds (e.g., by adjusting individual intensity thresholds and / or by utilizing a system-level click on an "intensity" parameter to adjust multiple intensity thresholds at once).

[0059] The contact / motion module 130 optionally detects gesture input by the user. Different gestures on the touch-sensitive surface have different contact patterns (e.g., different motions, timings, and / or intensities of the detected contacts). Therefore, gestures are optionally detected by detecting specific contact patterns. For example, detecting a finger tap gesture includes detecting a finger press event, and then detecting a finger lift (lift-off) event at the same location (or substantially the same location) as the finger press event (e.g., at the location of an icon). As another example, detecting a finger swipe gesture on the touch-sensitive surface includes detecting a finger press event, then detecting one or more finger drag events, and then detecting a finger lift (lift-off) event.

[0060] The graphics module 132 includes various known software components for rendering and displaying graphics on the touch screen 112 or other display, including components for changing the visual impact (e.g., brightness, transparency, saturation, contrast, or other visual attributes) of the displayed graphics. As used herein, the term "graphics" includes any object that can be displayed to a user, including but not limited to text, web pages, icons (such as user interface objects including soft keys), digital images, videos, animations, etc.

[0061] In some embodiments, the graphics module 132 stores data representing graphics to be used. Each graphic is optionally assigned a corresponding code. The graphics module 132 receives one or more codes for specifying the graphics to be displayed from an application or the like, along with coordinate data and other graphic attribute data if necessary, and then generates screen image data to be output to the display controller 156.

[0062] Haptic feedback module 133 includes various software components for generating instructions used by tactile output generator 167 to produce tactile output at one or more locations on device 100 in response to user interaction with device 100 .

In some embodiments, device 100 optionally includes the functionality of an MP3 player, such as an iPod (trademark of Apple Inc.).

[0100] In conjunction with the touch screen 112, display controller 156, contact / motion module 130, graphics module 132, and text input module 134, the note module 153 includes executable instructions for creating and managing notes, to-do lists, etc. according to user instructions.

[0101] In combination with the RF circuit 108, the touch screen 112, the display controller 156, the touch / motion module 130, the graphics module 132, the text input module 134, the GPS module 135 and the browser module 147, the map module 154 is optionally used to receive, display, modify and store maps and data associated with the maps (e.g., driving directions, data relating to stores and other points of interest at or near a particular location, and other location-based data) in accordance with user instructions.

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

[0103] Each of the modules and applications described above corresponds to an executable instruction set for performing one or more of the functions described above and the methods described in this patent application (e.g., the computer-implemented methods and other information processing methods described herein). These modules (e.g., instruction sets) do not have to be implemented as independent software programs, processes, or modules, so various subsets of these modules are optionally combined or otherwise rearranged in various embodiments. For example, a video player module is optionally combined with a music player module into a single module (e.g., Figure 1A In some embodiments, the memory 102 optionally stores a subset of the above modules and data structures. In addition, the memory 102 optionally stores additional modules and data structures not described above.

[0104] In some embodiments, the device 100 is a device where the operation of a predefined set of functions on the device is performed exclusively through a touch screen and / or a touch pad. By using a touch screen and / or a touch pad as the primary input control device for operating the device 100, the number of physical input control devices (e.g., push buttons, dials, etc.) on the device 100 is optionally reduced.

[0105] A predefined set of functions that are performed exclusively through the touch screen and / or touchpad optionally includes navigation between user interfaces. In some embodiments, the touchpad, when touched by the user, navigates the device 100 to a main menu, a home menu, or a root menu from any user interface displayed on the device 100. In such embodiments, a "menu button" is implemented using the touchpad. In some other embodiments, the menu button is a physical push button or other physical input control device, rather than a touchpad.

[0106] Figure 1B is a block diagram illustrating exemplary components for event processing according to some embodiments. In some embodiments, memory 102 ( Figure 1A ) or memory 370( Figure 3 ) includes an event classifier 170 (e.g., in the operating system 126) and a corresponding application 136-1 (e.g., any one of the aforementioned applications 137 to 151, 155, 380 to 390).

[0107] Event classifier 170 receives event information and determines the application 136-1 and the application view 191 of application 136-1 to which the event information is to be delivered. Event classifier 170 includes event monitor 171 and event distributor module 174. In some embodiments, application 136-1 includes application internal state 192, which indicates one or more current application views displayed on touch-sensitive display 112 when the application is active or executing. In some embodiments, device / global internal state 157 is used by event classifier 170 to determine which application(s) is currently active, and application internal state 192 is used by event classifier 170 to determine the application view 191 to which the event information is to be delivered.

[0108] In some embodiments, the application internal state 192 includes additional information, such as one or more of the following: resumption information to be used when application 136-1 resumes execution, user interface state information indicating that information is being displayed or is ready to be displayed by application 136-1, a state queue for enabling a user to return to a previous state or view of application 136-1, and a repeat / undo queue of previous actions taken by the user.

[0109] Event monitor 171 receives event information from peripherals interface 118. Event information includes information about sub-events (e.g., user touches on touch-sensitive display 112 as part of a multi-touch gesture). Peripherals interface 118 transmits information it receives from I / O subsystem 106 or sensors such as proximity sensor 166, one or more accelerometers 168, and / or microphone 113 (through audio circuit 110). The information that peripherals interface 118 receives from I / O subsystem 106 includes information from touch-sensitive display 112 or a touch-sensitive surface.

[0110] In some embodiments, event monitor 171 sends requests to peripheral device interface 118 at predetermined intervals. In response, peripheral device interface 118 transmits event information. In other embodiments, peripheral device interface 118 transmits event information only when there is a significant event (e.g., receiving an input above a predetermined noise threshold and / or receiving an input for more than a predetermined duration).

[0111] In some embodiments, the event classifier 170 also includes a hit view determination module 172 and / or an active event identifier determination module 173.

[0112] When the touch-sensitive display 112 displays more than one view, the hit view determination module 172 provides software procedures for determining where within one or more views a sub-event has occurred. A view consists of controls and other elements that a user can see on the display.

[0113] Another aspect of the user interface associated with an application is a set of views, sometimes also referred to herein as application views or user interface windows, in which information is displayed and touch-based gestures occur. The application views (of the respective application) in which a touch is detected optionally correspond to a programmatic level within the programmatic or view hierarchy of the application. For example, the lowest level view in which a touch is detected is optionally referred to as a hit view, and the set of events that are identified as correct input is optionally determined at least in part based on the hit view of the initial touch that started the touch-based gesture.

[0114] Hit view determination module 172 receives information related to sub-events of touch-based gestures. When an application has multiple views organized in a hierarchy, hit view determination module 172 identifies the hit view as the lowest view in the hierarchy that should handle the sub-events. In most cases, the hit view is the lowest level view in which the initiating sub-event (e.g., the first sub-event in a sequence of sub-events that form an event or potential event) occurs. Once a hit view is identified by hit view determination module 172, the hit view typically receives all sub-events related to the same touch or input source for which it is identified as the hit view.

[0115] Active event recognizer determination module 173 determines which view or views within the view hierarchy should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In some embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that only the hit view should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that all views that include the physical location of the sub-event are actively participating views, and therefore determines that all actively participating views should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, even if a touch sub-event is completely confined to an area associated with one particular view, higher views in the hierarchy will still remain as actively participating views.

[0116] Event distributor module 174 distributes event information to event recognizers (e.g., event recognizers 180). In embodiments including active event recognizer determination module 173, event distributor module 174 delivers the event information to the event recognizers determined by active event recognizer determination module 173. In some embodiments, event distributor module 174 stores the event information in an event queue, which is retrieved by corresponding event receivers 182.

[0117] In some embodiments, operating system 126 includes event classifier 170. Alternatively, application 136-1 includes event classifier 170. In yet another embodiment, event classifier 170 is a standalone module or is part of another module stored in memory 102, such as contact / motion module 130.

[0118] In some embodiments, application 136-1 includes multiple event handlers 190 and one or more application views 191, each of which includes instructions for handling touch events occurring within a corresponding view of the user interface of the application. Each application view 191 of application 136-1 includes one or more event identifiers 180. Typically, the corresponding application view 191 includes multiple event identifiers 180. In other embodiments, one or more event identifiers in event identifier 180 are part of an independent module, which is a higher-level object such as a user interface toolkit (not shown) or application 136-1 from which methods and other properties are inherited. In some embodiments, the corresponding event handler 190 includes one or more of the following: data updater 176, object updater 177, GUI updater 178 and / or event data 179 received from event classifier 170. Event handler 190 optionally utilizes or calls data updater 176, object updater 177 or GUI updater 178 to update application internal state 192. Alternatively, one or more of the application views 191 include one or more corresponding event handlers 190. In addition, in some embodiments, one or more of the data updater 176, the object updater 177, and the GUI updater 178 are included in the corresponding application view 191.

[0119] The corresponding event identifier 180 receives event information (e.g., event data 179) from the event classifier 170 and identifies the event based on the event information. The event identifier 180 includes an event receiver 182 and an event comparator 184. In some embodiments, the event identifier 180 also includes metadata 183 and at least a subset of event delivery instructions 188 (which optionally include sub-event delivery instructions).

[0120] Event receiver 182 receives event information from event classifier 170. Event information includes information about sub-events such as touch or touch movement. Depending on the sub-event, the event information also includes additional information, such as the location of the sub-event. When the sub-event involves the movement of the touch, the event information optionally also includes the speed and direction of the sub-event. In some embodiments, the event includes the device rotating from one orientation to another orientation (for example, from a longitudinal orientation to a transverse orientation, or vice versa), and the event information includes corresponding information about the current orientation of the device (also referred to as the device posture).

[0121] Event comparator 184 compares event information with predefined event or sub-event definitions, and determines an event or sub-event based on the comparison, or determines or updates the state of an event or sub-event. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 includes event definition 186. Event definition 186 includes the definition of an event (e.g., a predefined sequence of sub-events), such as event 1 (187-1), event 2 (187-2), and others. In some embodiments, sub-events in event (187) include, for example, touch start, touch end, touch move, touch cancel, and multi-touch. In one example, the definition of event 1 (187-1) is a double-click on a displayed object. For example, a double-click includes a first touch (touch start) of a predetermined duration on a displayed object, a first lift-off (touch end) of a predetermined duration, a second touch (touch start) of a predetermined duration on a displayed object, and a second lift-off (touch end) of a predetermined duration. In another example, the definition of event 2 (187-2) is a drag on a displayed object. For example, dragging includes a touch (or contact) of a predetermined duration on a displayed object, movement of the touch on the touch-sensitive display 112, and lifting of the touch (touch end). In some embodiments, the event also includes information for one or more associated event handlers 190.

[0122] In some embodiments, event definition 187 includes definitions of events for corresponding user interface objects. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which user interface object is associated with a sub-event. For example, in an application view displaying three user interface objects on touch-sensitive display 112, when a touch is detected on touch-sensitive display 112, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which of the three user interface objects is associated with the touch (sub-event). If each displayed object is associated with a corresponding event handler 190, the event comparator uses the result of the hit test to determine which event handler 190 should be activated. For example, event comparator 184 selects an event handler associated with a sub-event and the object that triggered the hit test.

[0123] In some embodiments, the definition of the corresponding event (187) also includes a delay action that delays the delivery of the event information until it has been determined that the sub-event sequence does or does not correspond to the event type of the event identifier.

[0124] When a corresponding event recognizer 180 determines that a sequence of sub-events does not match any event in event definition 186, the corresponding event recognizer 180 enters an event impossible, event failed, or event ended state, after which subsequent sub-events of the touch-based gesture are ignored. In this case, other event recognizers (if any) that remain active for the hit view continue to track and process sub-events of the ongoing touch-based gesture.

[0125] In some embodiments, the corresponding event recognizers 180 include metadata 183 with configurable properties, flags, and / or lists that indicate how the event delivery system should perform sub-event delivery to actively participating event recognizers. In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and / or lists that indicate how event recognizers interact or can interact with each other. In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and / or lists that indicate whether sub-events are delivered to different levels in a view or programmatic hierarchy.

[0126] In some embodiments, when one or more specific sub-events of an event are identified, the corresponding event recognizer 180 activates an event handler 190 associated with the event. In some embodiments, the corresponding event recognizer 180 delivers event information associated with the event to the event handler 190. Activating the event handler 190 is different from sending (and deferred sending) the sub-events to the corresponding hit view. In some embodiments, the event recognizer 180 throws a tag associated with the identified event, and the event handler 190 associated with the tag obtains the tag and executes a predefined process.

[0127] In some embodiments, the event delivery instructions 188 include a sub-event delivery instruction that delivers event information about a sub-event without activating an event handler. Instead, the sub-event delivery instruction delivers the event information to an event handler associated with a sub-event sequence or to an actively participating view. The event handler associated with the sub-event sequence or with an actively participating view receives the event information and executes a predetermined process.

[0128] In some embodiments, data updater 176 creates and updates data used in application 136-1. For example, data updater 176 updates phone numbers used in contact module 137 or stores video files used in video player module. In some embodiments, object updater 177 creates and updates objects used in application 136-1. For example, object updater 177 creates new user interface objects or updates the positioning of user interface objects. GUI updater 178 updates the GUI. For example, GUI updater 178 prepares display information and sends the display information to graphics module 132 for display on a touch-sensitive display.

[0129] In some embodiments, event handler 190 includes or has access to data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178. In some embodiments, data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178 are included in a single module of the corresponding application 136-1 or application view 191. In other embodiments, they are included in two or more software modules.

[0130] It should be understood that the above discussion of event processing for user touches on a touch-sensitive display also applies to other forms of user input that utilize input devices to operate the multifunction device 100, and not all user input is initiated on the touch screen. For example, mouse movement and mouse button presses, optionally in conjunction with single or multiple keyboard presses or hold; contact movement on a touch pad, such as tapping, dragging, scrolling, etc.; stylus input; movement of the device; verbal commands; detected eye movement; biometric input; and / or any combination thereof are optionally used as input corresponding to sub-events that define the event to be distinguished.

[0131] Figure 2A portable multifunction device 100 with a touch screen 112 according to some embodiments is illustrated. The touch screen optionally displays one or more graphics within a user interface (UI) 200. In this embodiment and other embodiments described below, a user can select one or more of these graphics by, for example, making gestures on the graphics using one or more fingers 202 (not drawn to scale in the figure) or one or more styluses 203 (not drawn to scale in the figure). In some embodiments, when the user interrupts contact with one or more graphics, selection of one or more graphics will occur. In some embodiments, gestures optionally include one or more taps, one or more swipes (from left to right, from right to left, up and / or down) and / or rolling of fingers that have been in contact with the device 100 (from right to left, from left to right, up and / or down). In some specific implementations or in some cases, inadvertent contact with a graphic will not select the graphic. For example, when the gesture corresponding to the selection is a tap, a swipe gesture that sweeps over an application icon optionally does not select the corresponding application.

[0132] The device 100 optionally also includes one or more physical buttons, such as a "home" or menu button 204. As previously described, the menu button 204 is optionally used to navigate to any application 136 in a set of applications that are optionally executed on the device 100. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the menu button is implemented as a soft key in a GUI displayed on the touch screen 112.

[0133] In some embodiments, the device 100 includes a touch screen 112, a menu button 204, a push button 206 for turning the device on / off and for locking the device, one or more volume adjustment buttons 208, a user identity module (SIM) card slot 210, an earphone jack 212, and a docking / charging external port 124. The push button 206 is optionally used to turn the device on / off by pressing the button and keeping the button in a pressed state for a predefined time interval; lock the device by pressing the button and releasing the button before the predefined time interval passes; and / or unlock the device or initiate an unlocking process. In an alternative embodiment, the device 100 also accepts voice input for activating or deactivating certain functions through a microphone 113. The device 100 also optionally includes one or more contact strength sensors 165 for detecting the strength of contact on the touch screen 112, and / or one or more tactile output generators 167 for generating tactile output for a user of the device 100.

[0134] Figure 3300 is a block diagram of an exemplary multi-function device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface according to some embodiments. Device 300 does not have to be portable. In some embodiments, device 300 is a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a tablet computer, a multimedia player device, a navigation device, an educational device (such as a children's learning toy), a game system, or a control device (e.g., a home controller or an industrial controller). Device 300 typically includes one or more processing units (CPUs) 310, one or more network or other communication interfaces 360, a memory 370, and one or more communication buses 320 for interconnecting these components. The communication bus 320 optionally includes circuits (sometimes referred to as a chipset) that interconnect system components and control communications between system components. Device 300 includes an input / output (I / O) interface 330 with a display 340, which is typically a touch screen display. The I / O interface 330 also optionally includes a keyboard and / or a mouse (or other pointing device) 350 and a touchpad 355, a tactile output generator 357 for generating tactile output on the device 300 (e.g., similar to the above reference Figure 1A The tactile output generator 167 described above), the sensor 359 (e.g., an optical sensor, an acceleration sensor, a proximity sensor, a touch sensitive sensor, and / or a contact intensity sensor (similar to the above reference Figure 1A Memory 370 optionally includes one or more storage devices located away from CPU 310. In some embodiments, memory 370 stores data related to portable multifunction device 100 ( Figure 1A ) or a subset thereof. In addition, memory 370 optionally stores additional programs, modules, and data structures not present in memory 102 of portable multifunction device 100. For example, memory 370 of device 300 optionally stores a drawing module 380, a presentation module 382, ​​a word processing module 384, a website creation module 386, a disk editing module 388, and / or a spreadsheet module 390, while portable multifunction device 100 ( Figure 1A )'s memory 102 optionally does not store these modules.

[0135] Figure 3Each element in the above-mentioned elements in is optionally stored in one or more memory devices of the previously mentioned memory device. Each module in the above-mentioned modules corresponds to the instruction set for performing the function described above. The above-mentioned modules or programs (e.g., instruction sets) do not have to be implemented as independent software programs, processes or modules, and therefore the various subsets of these modules are optionally combined or otherwise rearranged in various embodiments. In some embodiments, memory 370 optionally stores the subset of the above-mentioned modules and data structures. In addition, memory 370 optionally stores additional modules and data structures not described above.

[0136] Attention is now turned to an embodiment of a user interface that is optionally implemented on, for example, portable multifunction device 100.

[0137] Figure 4A An exemplary user interface of an application menu on portable multifunction device 100 according to some embodiments is shown. A similar user interface is optionally implemented on device 300. In some embodiments, user interface 400 includes the following elements, or a subset or superset thereof:

[0138] Signal strength indicators 402 for wireless communications such as cellular signals and Wi-Fi signals;

[0139] Time 404;

[0140] Bluetooth indicator 405;

[0141] Battery status indicator 406;

[0142] A tray 408 with icons for commonly used applications, such as:

[0143] o An icon 416 of the phone module 138 labeled "Phone," which optionally includes an indicator 414 of the number of missed calls or voicemails;

[0144] o an icon 418 of the email client module 140 labeled “Mail”, which optionally includes an indicator 410 of the number of unread emails;

[0145] o An icon 420 labeled "Browser" of the browser module 147; and

[0146] o An icon 422 labeled “iPod” of the video and music player module 152 (also referred to as the iPod (trademark of Apple Inc.) module 152); and

[0147] Icons for other apps, such as:

[0148] o Icon 424 labeled "Message" of IM module 141;

[0149] o An icon 426 labeled “Calendar” of the calendar module 148;

[0150] o Icon 428 labeled “Photos” of the image management module 144;

[0151] o An icon 430 labeled “Camera” of the camera module 143;

[0152] ○ Icon 432 labeled “Online Video” of the online video module 155;

[0153] ○ Icon 434 labeled “Stock Market” of the Stock Market Widget 149 - 2 ;

[0154] o An icon 436 labeled “Map” of the map module 154;

[0155] ○ Icon 438 labeled “Weather” of the weather widget 149-1;

[0156] ○ Icon 440 labeled as “Clock” of the alarm clock widget 149 - 4 ;

[0157] o An icon 442 labeled “Fitness Support” of the fitness support module 142;

[0158] o An icon 444 labeled "Notes" of the notes module 153; and

[0159] o An icon 446 of a settings application or module labeled “Settings” that provides access to settings for the device 100 and its various applications 136 .

[0160] It should be noted that Figure 4A The illustrated icon labels are exemplary only. For example, the icon 422 of the video and music player module 152 is labeled "Music" or "Music Player". Other labels are optionally used for various application icons. In some embodiments, the label of the corresponding application icon includes the name of the application corresponding to the corresponding application icon. In some embodiments, the label of a particular application icon is different from the name of the application corresponding to the particular application icon.

[0161] Figure 4B The example embodiment has a touch-sensitive surface 451 (eg, touch screen display 112) that is separate from a display 450 (eg, touch screen display 112). Figure 3 tablet computer or touch pad 355) device (e.g., Figure 3Device 300 also optionally includes one or more contact intensity sensors (e.g., one or more of sensors 359) for detecting intensity of contacts on touch-sensitive surface 451 and / or one or more tactile output generators 357 for generating tactile output for a user of device 300.

[0162] Although some of the examples below are given with reference to input on a touch screen display 112 (where a touch-sensitive surface and a display are combined), in some embodiments, the device detects input on a touch-sensitive surface that is separate from the display, such as Figure 4B In some embodiments, the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., Figure 4B 451) has a main axis (e.g., Figure 4B 453) corresponding to the principal axis (for example, Figure 4B According to these embodiments, the device detects a position corresponding to a corresponding position on the display (e.g., Figure 4B 460 corresponds to 468 and 462 corresponds to 470) in contact with touch-sensitive surface 451 (e.g., Figure 4B Thus, when the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., Figure 4B 451) and a display of a multi-function device (e.g., Figure 4B When the user input detected by the device on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., contacts 460 and 462 and their movement) is separated, the device is used to manipulate the user interface on the display. It should be understood that similar methods are optionally used for other user interfaces described herein.

[0163] Additionally, although the following examples are primarily given with reference to finger inputs (e.g., finger contacts, single-finger tap gestures, finger swipe gestures), it should be understood that in some embodiments, one or more of these finger inputs are replaced by input from another input device (e.g., mouse-based input or stylus input). For example, a swipe gesture is optionally replaced by a mouse click (e.g., instead of contact), followed by movement of the cursor along the path of the swipe (e.g., instead of movement of the contact). As another example, when the cursor is at the location of the tap gesture, the tap gesture is optionally replaced by a mouse click (e.g., instead of detecting contact and then ceasing to detect contact). Similarly, when multiple user inputs are detected simultaneously, it should be understood that multiple computer mice are optionally used simultaneously, or a mouse and finger contact are optionally used simultaneously.

[0164] Figure 5AAn exemplary personal electronic device 500 is shown. Device 500 includes a body 502. In some embodiments, device 500 may include components related to devices 100 and 300 (e.g., Figures 1A to 4B ) some or all of the features described in the foregoing. In some embodiments, device 500 has a touch-sensitive display screen 504, referred to hereinafter as touch screen 504. Alternatively, or in addition to touch screen 504, device 500 also has a display and a touch-sensitive surface. As with devices 100 and 300, in some embodiments, touch screen 504 (or touch-sensitive surface) optionally includes one or more intensity sensors for detecting the intensity of contact (e.g., touch) applied. One or more intensity sensors of touch screen 504 (or touch-sensitive surface) can provide output data representing the intensity of touch. The user interface of device 500 can respond to touch based on the intensity of the touch, which means that touches of different intensities can invoke different user interface operations on device 500.

[0165] Exemplary techniques for detecting and processing touch intensity are found, for example, in the following related patent applications: International patent application serial number PCT / US2013 / 040061, entitled “Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Displaying User Interface Objects Corresponding to an Application,” filed on May 8, 2013, published as WIPO patent publication number WO / 2013 / 169849; and International patent application serial number PCT / US2013 / 069483, entitled “Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Transitioning Between Touch Input to Display Output Relationships,” filed on November 11, 2013, published as WIPO patent publication number WO / 2014 / 105276, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

[0166] In some embodiments, the device 500 has one or more input mechanisms 506 and 508. The input mechanisms 506 and 508 (if included) can be physical. Examples of physical input mechanisms include push buttons and rotatable mechanisms. In some embodiments, the device 500 has one or more attachment mechanisms. Such attachment mechanisms (if included) can allow the device 500 to be attached to, for example, hats, glasses, earrings, necklaces, shirts, jackets, bracelets, watchbands, bracelets, pants, belts, shoes, wallets, backpacks, etc. These attachment mechanisms allow the user to wear the device 500.

[0167] Figure 5B An exemplary personal electronic device 500 is depicted. In some embodiments, the device 500 may include information about Figure 1A , Figure 1B and Figure 3 Some or all of the components described. Device 500 has a bus 512 that operatively couples an I / O portion 514 to one or more computer processors 516 and a memory 518. I / O portion 514 may be connected to a display 504, which may have a touch-sensitive component 522 and optionally a strength sensor 524 (e.g., a contact strength sensor). In addition, I / O portion 514 may be connected to a communication unit 530 for receiving application and operating system data using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, near field communication (NFC), cellular and / or other wireless communication technologies. Device 500 may include input mechanisms 506 and / or 508. For example, input mechanism 506 is optionally a rotatable input device or a depressible input device and a rotatable input device. In some examples, input mechanism 508 is optionally a button.

[0168] In some examples, input mechanism 508 is optionally a microphone. Personal electronic device 500 optionally includes various sensors, such as GPS sensor 532, accelerometer 534, orientation sensor 540 (e.g., compass), gyroscope 536, motion sensor 538, and / or combinations thereof, all of which are operably connected to I / O portion 514.

[0169] The memory 518 of the personal electronic device 500 may include one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media for storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more computer processors 516, may cause the computer processors to perform the techniques described below, including process 700 ( Figure 7). Computer-readable storage media can be any medium that can tangibly contain or store computer-executable instructions for use by or in conjunction with instruction execution systems, devices, and apparatuses. In some examples, the storage medium is a transient computer-readable storage medium. In some examples, the storage medium is a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. Non-transitory computer-readable storage media may include, but are not limited to, magnetic storage devices, optical storage devices, and / or semiconductor storage devices. Examples of such storage devices include magnetic disks, optical disks based on CD, DVD, or Blu-ray technology, and persistent solid-state memories such as flash memory, solid-state drives, and the like. Personal electronic device 500 is not limited to Figure 5B components and configurations, but may include other components or additional components in a variety of configurations.

[0170] In addition, in the method described herein where one or more steps depend on one or more conditions being met, it should be understood that the method can be repeated in multiple repetitions so that in the process of repetition, all conditions for determining the steps in the method have been met in different repetitions of the method. For example, if the method needs to perform the first step (if the condition is met), and perform the second step (if the condition is not met), then the ordinary technician will know that the steps stated are repeated until both the condition is met and the condition is not met (in no particular order). Therefore, the method described as having one or more steps depending on one or more conditions being met can be rewritten as a method of repeating until each condition described in the method is met. However, this does not require the system or computer-readable medium to declare that the system or computer-readable medium contains instructions for performing a contingent operation based on the satisfaction of the corresponding one or more conditions, and is therefore able to determine whether the possible situation has been met without explicitly repeating the steps of the method until all conditions for determining the steps in the method have been met. It will also be understood by ordinary technicians in the art that, similar to the method with the contingent step, the system or computer-readable storage medium can repeat the steps of the method as many times as needed to ensure that all the contingent steps have been performed.

[0171] As used herein, the term "indicative representation" refers to an optional feature of the apparatus 100, 300, and / or 500 ( Figure 1A , Figure 3 and FIG. 5A to FIG. 5B ) is a user-interactive graphical user interface object displayed on a display screen of a computer. For example, an image (e.g., an icon), a button, and text (e.g., a hyperlink) optionally each constitute an affordance.

[0172] As used herein, the term "focus selector" refers to an input element used to indicate the current portion of a user interface that a user is interacting with. In some implementations that include a cursor or other position marker, the cursor acts as a "focus selector" such that when the cursor is over a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider, or other user interface element), a focus selector is displayed on a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., Figure 3 Touchpad 355 or Figure 4B In the event that an input (e.g., a press input) is detected on the touch-sensitive surface 451 in the display, the particular user interface element is adjusted according to the detected input. In the case that a touch-screen display (e.g., Figure 1A A touch-sensitive display system 112 or Figure 4A In some implementations of the touch screen 112 in FIG. 1 , a contact detected on the touch screen acts as a “focus selector” such that when an input (e.g., a press input by the contact) is detected at the location of a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider, or other user interface element) on the touch screen display, the particular user interface element is adjusted in accordance with the detected input. In some implementations, the focus moves from one area of ​​the user interface to another area of ​​the user interface without corresponding movement of a cursor or movement of a contact on the touch screen display (e.g., by using a tab key or arrow keys to move the focus from one button to another); in these implementations, the focus selector moves in accordance with the movement of the focus between different areas of the user interface. Regardless of the specific form the focus selector takes, the focus selector is typically a user interface element (or contact on the touch screen display) that is controlled by the user to deliver the user's intended interaction with the user interface (e.g., by indicating to the device the element of the user interface with which the user desires to interact). For example, when a press input is detected on a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touchpad or touchscreen), the position of a focus selector (e.g., a cursor, contact, or selection box) over a corresponding button will indicate that the user intends to activate the corresponding button (rather than other user interface elements shown on the device display).

[0173] As used in the specification and claims, the term "characteristic intensity" of a contact refers to a characteristic of a contact based on one or more intensities of the contact. In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is based on multiple intensity samples. The characteristic intensity is optionally based on a predefined number of intensity samples or a set of intensity samples collected during a predetermined time period (e.g., 0.05 seconds, 0.1 seconds, 0.2 seconds, 0.5 seconds, 1 second, 2 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds) relative to a predefined event (e.g., after contact is detected, before contact is detected to be lifted off, before or after contact starts to move, before contact ends, before or after contact intensity is detected to increase, and / or before or after contact intensity is detected to decrease). The characteristic intensity of a contact is optionally based on one or more of the following: the maximum value of the intensity of the contact, the mean value of the intensity of the contact, the average value of the intensity of the contact, the value at the top 10% of the intensity of the contact, the half-maximum value of the intensity of the contact, the 90% maximum value of the intensity of the contact, etc. In some embodiments, the duration of the contact is used when determining the characteristic intensity (e.g., when the characteristic intensity is the average value of the intensity of the contact over time). In some embodiments, the characteristic strength is compared to a set of one or more strength thresholds to determine whether the user has performed an operation. For example, the set of one or more strength thresholds optionally includes a first strength threshold and a second strength threshold. In this example, a contact whose characteristic strength does not exceed the first threshold results in a first operation, a contact whose characteristic strength exceeds the first strength threshold but does not exceed the second strength threshold results in a second operation, and a contact whose characteristic strength exceeds the second threshold results in a third operation. In some embodiments, a comparison between the characteristic strength and one or more thresholds is used to determine whether to perform one or more operations (e.g., whether to perform the corresponding operation or to abandon the corresponding operation) rather than to determine whether to perform the first operation or the second operation.

[0174] Figure 5C Detection of multiple contacts 552A through 552E on touch-sensitive display screen 504 using multiple intensity sensors 524A through 524D is shown. Figure 5C Also included is an intensity graph that shows the current intensity measurements of intensity sensors 524A to 524D relative to intensity units. In this example, the intensity measurements of intensity sensors 524A and 524D are each 9 intensity units, and the intensity measurements of intensity sensors 524B and 524C are each 7 intensity units. In some implementations, the cumulative intensity is the sum of the intensity measurements of multiple intensity sensors 524A to 524D, which is 32 intensity units in this example. In some embodiments, each contact is assigned a corresponding intensity, which is a portion of the cumulative intensity. Figure 5DThe cumulative strengths assigned to contacts 552A to 552E based on their distances from the center of force 554 are shown. In this example, each of contacts 552A, 552B, and 552E is assigned a contact strength of 8 strength units of the cumulative strength, and each of contacts 552C and 552D is assigned a contact strength of 4 strength units of the cumulative strength. More generally, in some embodiments, each contact j is assigned a corresponding strength Ij, which is a portion of the cumulative strength A, according to a predefined mathematical function Ij=A·(Dj / ΣDi), where Dj is the distance of the corresponding contact j from the center of force, and ΣDi is the sum of the distances of all corresponding contacts (e.g., i=1 to the last) from the center of force. The reference may be performed using an electronic device similar to or equivalent to device 100, 300, or 500. FIG. 5C to FIG. 5D In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity of the contact is based on one or more intensities of the contact. In some embodiments, the intensity sensor is used to determine a single characteristic intensity (e.g., a single characteristic intensity of a single contact). It should be noted that the intensity map is not part of the displayed user interface, but is included in the FIG. 5C to FIG. 5D To assist the readers.

[0175] In some embodiments, a portion of a gesture is identified for determining characteristic intensity. For example, the touch-sensitive surface optionally receives a continuous swipe contact that transitions from a starting position and reaches an end position, where the contact intensity increases. In this example, the characteristic intensity of the contact at the end position is optionally based only on a portion of the continuous swipe contact, rather than the entire swipe contact (e.g., only the portion of the swipe contact at the end position). In some embodiments, a smoothing algorithm is optionally applied to the intensity of the swipe contact before determining the characteristic intensity of the contact. For example, a smoothing algorithm optionally includes one or more of the following: an unweighted sliding average smoothing algorithm, a triangular smoothing algorithm, a median filter smoothing algorithm, and / or an exponential smoothing algorithm. In some cases, these smoothing algorithms eliminate narrow peaks or depressions in the intensity of the swipe contact to achieve the purpose of determining the characteristic intensity.

[0176] The intensity of contact on the touch-sensitive surface is optionally characterized relative to one or more intensity thresholds such as a contact detection intensity threshold, a light press intensity threshold, a deep press intensity threshold, and / or one or more other intensity thresholds. In some embodiments, the light press intensity threshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device will perform an operation typically associated with clicking a button of a physical mouse or touchpad. In some embodiments, the deep press intensity threshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device will perform an operation different from the operation typically associated with clicking a button of a physical mouse or touchpad. In some embodiments, when a contact having a characteristic intensity lower than the light press intensity threshold (e.g., and higher than a nominal contact detection intensity threshold, contacts lower than the nominal contact detection intensity threshold are no longer detected) is detected, the device will move the focus selector according to the movement of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface without performing an operation associated with the light press intensity threshold or the deep press intensity threshold. Generally speaking, unless otherwise stated, these intensity thresholds are consistent between different groups of user interface illustrations.

[0177] An increase in contact characteristic intensity from an intensity below a light press intensity threshold to an intensity between the light press intensity threshold and the deep press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as a "light press" input. An increase in contact characteristic intensity from an intensity below a deep press intensity threshold to an intensity above the deep press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as a "deep press" input. An increase in contact characteristic intensity from an intensity below a contact detection intensity threshold to an intensity between the contact detection intensity threshold and the light press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as detecting contact on the touch surface. A decrease in contact characteristic intensity from an intensity above the contact detection intensity threshold to an intensity below the contact detection intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as detecting contact lifted from the touch surface. In some embodiments, the contact detection intensity threshold is zero. In some embodiments, the contact detection intensity threshold is greater than zero.

[0178] In some embodiments described herein, one or more operations are performed in response to detecting a gesture that includes a corresponding press input or in response to detecting a corresponding press input performed using a corresponding contact (or multiple contacts), wherein the corresponding press input is detected at least in part based on detecting that the strength of the contact (or multiple contacts) increases to above a press input strength threshold. In some embodiments, the corresponding operation is performed in response to detecting that the strength of the corresponding contact increases to above the press input strength threshold (e.g., a "down stroke" of the corresponding press input). In some embodiments, the press input includes an increase in the strength of the corresponding contact to above the press input strength threshold and a subsequent decrease in the strength of the contact to below the press input strength threshold, and the corresponding operation is performed in response to detecting that the strength of the corresponding contact subsequently decreases to below the press input threshold (e.g., an "up stroke" of the corresponding press input).

[0179] FIG. 5E to FIG. 5HDetection of a gesture is shown, the gesture comprising contact 562 with an intensity from below Figure 5E The light press intensity threshold in L ”) increases to a strength higher than Figure 5H The deep compression intensity threshold in D ”). On the displayed user interface 570 including application icons 572A to 572D displayed in the predefined area 574, when the cursor 576 is displayed above the application icon 572B corresponding to application 2, a gesture performed using contact 562 is detected on the touch-sensitive surface 560. In some embodiments, the gesture is detected on the touch-sensitive display 504. The intensity sensor detects the intensity of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface 560. The device determines whether the intensity of the contact 562 is within the deep press intensity threshold (for example, “IT D ”) reaches a peak above. Contact 562 is maintained on touch-sensitive surface 560. In response to detecting the gesture, and according to the intensity increasing to a deep press intensity threshold (e.g., “IT D ”) above contact 562, displays scaled representations 578A to 578C (e.g., thumbnails) of documents recently opened for application 2, such as FIG. 5F to FIG. 5H In some embodiments, the intensity is a characteristic intensity of the contact compared to one or more intensity thresholds. It should be noted that the intensity map for contact 562 is not part of the displayed user interface, but is included in the FIG. 5E to FIG. 5H To assist the readers.

[0180] In some embodiments, the display of representations 578A to 578C includes animation. For example, representation 578A is initially displayed near application icon 572B, such as Fig. 5F As the animation progresses, representation 578A moves upward and representation 578B is displayed near application icon 572B, as shown. Figure 5G Then, representation 578A moves upward, 578B moves upward toward representation 578A, and representation 578C is displayed near application icon 572B, as shown in FIG. Figure 5H 578A to 578C form an array above icon 572B. In some embodiments, the animation progresses according to the intensity of contact 562, such as Figure 5F to Figure 5G , where representations 578A to 578C appear and increase as the strength of contact 562 approaches a deep press strength threshold (e.g., “IT D ”) increases and moves upward. In some embodiments, the intensity according to which the animation progresses is the characteristic intensity of the contact. The reference may be performed using an electronic device similar to or equivalent to device 100, 300, or 500. FIG. 5E to FIG. 5H The operation described.

[0181] In some embodiments, the device employs intensity hysteresis to avoid unexpected inputs sometimes referred to as "jitter," where the device defines or selects a hysteresis intensity threshold that has a predefined relationship to a press input intensity threshold (e.g., the hysteresis intensity threshold is X intensity units lower than the press input intensity threshold, or the hysteresis intensity threshold is 75%, 90%, or some reasonable proportion of the press input intensity threshold). Thus, in some embodiments, a press input includes an increase in the intensity of the corresponding contact to above the press input intensity threshold and a subsequent decrease in the intensity of the contact to below the hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to the press input intensity threshold, and a corresponding operation is performed in response to detecting that the intensity of the corresponding contact subsequently decreases to below the hysteresis intensity threshold (e.g., an "upward stroke" of the corresponding press input). Similarly, in some embodiments, a press input is detected only when the device detects that the contact intensity increases from an intensity equal to or below the hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity equal to or above the press input intensity threshold and, optionally, that the contact intensity subsequently decreases to an intensity equal to or below the hysteresis intensity, and a corresponding operation is performed in response to detecting the press input (e.g., an increase in contact intensity or a decrease in contact intensity, depending on the circumstances).

[0182] For ease of explanation, optionally, a description of an operation performed in response to a press input associated with a press input intensity threshold or in response to a gesture including a press input is triggered in response to detecting any of the following: contact intensity increasing to above the press input intensity threshold, contact intensity increasing from an intensity below a hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity above the press input intensity threshold, contact intensity decreasing to below the press input intensity threshold, and / or contact intensity decreasing to below a hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to the press input intensity threshold. Additionally, in examples where an operation is described as being performed in response to detecting that the intensity of the contact decreases below the press input intensity threshold, the operation is optionally performed in response to detecting that the intensity of the contact decreases below a hysteresis intensity threshold that corresponds to and is less than the press input intensity threshold.

[0183] In some embodiments, the electronic device 500 includes one or more tactile output generators, wherein the one or more tactile output generators generate different types of tactile output sequences, as described in Table 1 below. In some embodiments, a specific type of tactile output sequence generated by one or more tactile output generators of the device corresponds to a specific tactile output mode. For example, the tactile output mode specifies the characteristics of the tactile output, such as the amplitude of the tactile output, the shape of the motion waveform of the tactile output, the frequency of the tactile output, and / or the duration of the tactile output. When a device (e.g., one or more tactile output generators that generate tactile output via a movable mass) generates a tactile output with different tactile output modes, the tactile output can produce different tactile sensations in a user holding or touching the device. Although the user's senses are based on the user's perception of the tactile output, most users will be able to recognize changes in the waveform, frequency, and amplitude of the tactile output generated by the device.

[0184] More specifically, FIG. 5I to FIG. 5K A set of sample tactile output patterns are provided that can be used, individually or in combination, as is or through one or more transformations (e.g., modulation, amplification, truncation, etc.) to form suitable tactile feedback in various scenarios for various purposes (such as those described above and those described with respect to the user interfaces and methods discussed herein). This example of a control panel for tactile output shows how a set of three waveforms and eight frequencies can be used to generate an array of tactile output patterns. In addition to the tactile output patterns shown in these figures, each of these tactile output patterns is optionally adjusted in amplitude by changing the gain value of the tactile output pattern, as shown, for example, for Figure 5L to Figure 5N 80Hz, FullTap 200Hz, MiniTap 80Hz, MiniTap 200Hz, MicroTap 80Hz, and MicroTap 200Hz, each of which is shown as a variant with a gain of 1.0, 0.75, 0.5, and 0.25. Figure 5L to Figure 5N As shown, changing the gain of a tactile output pattern changes the amplitude of the pattern without changing the frequency of the pattern or changing the shape of the waveform. In some embodiments, changing the frequency of the tactile output pattern also results in a lower amplitude because some tactile output generators are limited by how much force can be applied to the movable mass, so the higher frequency movement of the mass is constrained to a lower amplitude to ensure that the acceleration required to form the waveform does not require forces outside the operating force range of the tactile output generator (e.g., the peak amplitude of FullTap at 230 Hz, 270 Hz, and 300 Hz is lower than the amplitude of FullTap at 80 Hz, 100 Hz, 125 Hz, and 200 Hz).

[0185] FIG. 5I to FIG. 5NA tactile output pattern having a particular waveform is shown. The waveform of the tactile output pattern represents a pattern of physical displacements and time relative to a neutral position (e.g., Xzero) through which the movable mass passes to generate a tactile output having the tactile output pattern. For example, Fig.5I The first set of tactile output patterns shown (eg, the “FullTap” tactile output pattern) each have a waveform that includes oscillations having two complete cycles (eg, oscillations that start and end at a neutral position and pass through the neutral position three times). Figure 5J The second set of tactile output patterns shown (eg, “MiniTap” tactile output patterns) each have a waveform that includes oscillations having one complete cycle (eg, oscillations that begin and end at a neutral position and pass through the neutral position once). Figure 5K The third set of tactile output patterns shown (e.g., the "MicroTap" tactile output patterns) each have a waveform that includes an oscillation that includes half a complete cycle (e.g., an oscillation that starts and ends at a neutral position and does not pass through the neutral position). The waveforms of the tactile output patterns also include a start buffer and an end buffer that represent the gradual acceleration and deceleration of the movable mass at the beginning and end of the tactile output. FIG. 5I to FIG. 5N The exemplary waveform shown includes Xmin and Xmax values ​​representing the maximum and minimum extents of movement of the movable mass. For larger electronic devices with larger movable masses, the minimum and maximum extents of movement of the mass may be larger or smaller. FIG. 5I to FIG. 5N The illustrated embodiments describe movement of a mass in one dimension, but similar principles may also apply to movement of a movable mass in two or three dimensions.

[0186] like FIG. 5I to FIG. 5K As shown, each tactile output pattern also has a corresponding characteristic frequency, which affects the "pitch" of the tactile sensation felt by the user from the tactile output having the characteristic frequency. For continuous tactile output, the characteristic frequency represents the number of cycles (e.g., cycles per second) that the movable mass of the tactile output generator completes in a given time period. For discrete tactile output, a discrete output signal is generated (e.g., having 0.5, 1, or 2 cycles), and the characteristic frequency value specifies how fast the movable mass needs to move to generate a tactile output having the characteristic frequency. FIG. 5I to FIG. 5N As shown, for each type of tactile output (e.g., defined by a corresponding waveform, such as FullTap, MiniTap, or MicroTap), a higher frequency value corresponds to faster movement of the movable mass and, therefore, generally speaking, to a shorter tactile output completion time (e.g., including the time required to complete the number of cycles of the discrete tactile output plus the start and end buffer times). For example, a FullTap with a characteristic frequency of 80 Hz takes longer to complete (e.g., in 100 Hz) than a FullTap with a characteristic frequency of 100 Hz. Fig.5I, 35.4ms vs. 28.3ms). In addition, for a given frequency, a tactile output having more cycles in its waveform at the corresponding frequency takes longer to complete than a tactile output having fewer cycles in its waveform at the same corresponding frequency. For example, a FullTap at 150Hz takes longer to complete than a MiniTap at 150Hz (e.g., 19.4ms vs. 12.8ms), and a MiniTap at 150Hz takes longer to complete than a MicroTap at 150Hz (e.g., 12.8ms vs. 9.4ms). However, for tactile output modes with different frequencies, this rule may not apply (e.g., a tactile output with more cycles but a higher frequency may take a shorter amount of time to complete than a tactile output with fewer cycles but a lower frequency, and vice versa). For example, at 300Hz, FullTap takes the same amount of time as MiniTap (e.g., 9.9ms).

[0187] like FIG. 5I to FIG. 5K As shown, the tactile output pattern also has a characteristic amplitude, which affects the amount of energy contained in the tactile signal, or the "intensity" of the tactile sensation that the user can feel through the tactile output having the characteristic amplitude. In some embodiments, the characteristic amplitude of the tactile output pattern refers to the absolute value or normalized value representing the maximum displacement of the movable mass relative to the neutral position when the tactile output is generated. In some embodiments, the characteristic amplitude of the tactile output pattern can be adjusted according to various conditions (e.g., customized based on user interface context and behavior) and / or preconfigured metrics (e.g., input-based metrics, and / or user interface-based metrics), such as by a fixed or dynamically determined gain factor (e.g., a value between 0 and 1). In some embodiments, an input-based metric (e.g., an intensity change metric or an input speed metric) measures the characteristics of the input during the input that triggers the generation of the tactile output (e.g., the rate of change of the characteristic intensity of the contact in the press input or the rate of movement of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface). In some embodiments, a user interface-based metric (e.g., a cross-border speed metric) measures a characteristic of a user interface element (e.g., how fast the element moves across a hidden or visible boundary in the user interface) during a user interface change that triggers generation of a tactile output. In some embodiments, a characteristic amplitude of a tactile output pattern may be "envelope" modulated, and the peaks of adjacent cycles may have different amplitudes, wherein one of the waveforms shown above is further modified by multiplying an envelope parameter that changes over time (e.g., from 0 to 1) to gradually adjust the amplitude of a portion of the tactile output over time when generating the tactile output.

[0188] Although for illustrative purposes FIG. 5I to FIG. 5KSpecific frequencies, amplitudes, and waveforms are shown in the sample tactile output patterns in FIG, but tactile output patterns with other frequencies, amplitudes, and waveforms may be used for similar purposes. For example, a waveform with between 0.5 and 4 cycles may be used. Other frequencies in the range of 60 Hz to 400 Hz may also be used.

[0189] As used herein, an "installed application" refers to a software application that has been downloaded to an electronic device (e.g., device 100, 300, and / or 500) and is ready to be launched (e.g., become open) on the device. In some embodiments, a downloaded application becomes an installed application using an installer that extracts program portions from a downloaded software package and integrates the extracted portions with the operating system of a computer system.

[0190] As used herein, the term "open application" or "executing application" refers to a software application that has retained state information (e.g., as part of device / global internal state 157 and / or application internal state 192). An open or executing application is optionally any of the following types of applications:

[0191] The active application currently displayed on the display of the device on which the application is being used;

[0192] Background applications (or background processes) that are not currently displayed but whose processes or processes are being processed by one or more processors; and

[0193] Not running but stored in memory (volatile and non-volatile respectively)

[0194] A suspended or dormant application that contains status information that can be used to resume execution of the application.

[0195] As used herein, the term "closed application" refers to a software application that does not have retained state information (e.g., the state information of a closed application is not stored in the memory of the device). Therefore, closing an application includes stopping and / or removing the application process of the application and removing the state information of the application from the memory of the device. Generally speaking, when in a first application, opening a second application does not close the first application. When the second application is displayed and the first application stops being displayed, the first application becomes a background application.

[0196] Attention is now turned to embodiments of a user interface ("UI") and associated processes implemented on an electronic device, such as portable multifunction device 100, device 300, or device 500.

[0197] User interface and associated processes

[0198] Interacting with content in remote interaction mode

[0199] Users interact with electronic devices in many different ways, including interacting with selectable options presented in a user interface. In some embodiments, when a first electronic device and a second electronic device are in a remote interaction mode, the first electronic device presents a user interface including content displayed at a second electronic device. In some embodiments, the electronic device is or includes a computer system. In some embodiments, the computer system is a tablet computer, a mobile phone, a laptop, a desktop computer, a head-mounted display ("HMD"), a device with a mechanical wheelbase, a self-propelled device, a smart speaker, a wearable device, a personal auxiliary device, a robot and / or a camera. The embodiments described below provide a method in which the second electronic device updates the user interface in response to detecting user input at a first electronic device when the first electronic device and the second electronic device are in a remote interaction mode. Enhanced interaction with the device reduces the amount of time required for the user to perform an operation, thereby reducing the power consumption of the device and extending the battery life of a battery-powered device. It should be understood that people use the device. When a person uses the device, this person is optionally referred to as a user of the device.

[0200] Figures 6A to 6GG An exemplary manner in which a first electronic device interacts with a second electronic device in a remote interaction mode according to some embodiments is shown. The embodiments in these figures are used to illustrate the process described below, including reference Figure 7 The process described.

[0201] FIG. 6A to FIG. 6E The first electronic device is shown initiating a remote interaction mode with a second electronic device in response to detecting user input in a settings application of the first electronic device. Fig. 6A A first device 500a is shown including a touch screen 504a. Fig. 6A As shown, the electronic device 500a presents a lock screen user interface 604 (e.g., a wake-up screen user interface). In some embodiments, the lock screen user interface 604 is a user interface displayed when the electronic device 500a is awakened (e.g., from a sleep, shutdown, or locked state). Additionally, as shown in the figure, Fig. 6A A second device 500b is shown that includes a touch screen 504b. For example, the second device 500b is a wearable electronic device (e.g., wearable on a user's wrist). In some embodiments, the electronic device 500b presents a watch screen user interface 608 that displays the current time of day at the electronic device 500b. Fig. 6A As shown, the watch screen user interface 608 optionally includes a plurality of user interface objects (eg, icons and / or widgets) associated with applications operating on the second device 500b. Fig. 6AAs shown, the watch screen user interface 608 includes an alarm user interface object 628a, a battery level user interface object 628b, a calendar user interface object 628c, and / or a weather user interface object 628d. As described herein, the plurality of user interface objects 628a to 628d may optionally be selected to cause the second device 500b to display a user interface corresponding to the selected user interface object.

[0202] In some embodiments, in response to user input received at the first device 500a, a remote interaction mode is configured between the first device 500a and the second device 500b. As described herein, when in remote interaction mode, information (e.g., images) displayed on the second device 500b (e.g., via the touch screen 504b) is simultaneously displayed on the first device 500a (e.g., via the touch screen 504a), so that the user input received at the first device 500a causes the second device 500b to update the display of information on the second device 500b. Figure 6B As shown in the legend 664 in , the first device 500a is optionally not in the remote interaction mode with the second device 500b. As discussed below, the first device 500a optionally initializes the remote interaction mode with the second device 500b in response to receiving a user input corresponding to the request to initialize the remote interaction mode.

[0203] like Figure 6B As shown, the first device 500a displays a user interface 606 via the touch screen 504a (eg, when unlocking Fig. 6A In some embodiments, user interface 606 is the home screen user interface of device 500A (e.g., as shown in FIG. Figure 4A For example, user interface 606 includes application icon 605, application icon 610, application icon 615, application icon 620, application icon 625, application icon 630, application icon 635, application icon 640, application icon 645, application icon 650, and application icon 655. As similarly described above, different application icons may optionally be selected to display different user interfaces associated with the application. Application icon 640 optionally corresponds to a settings application that displays information and / or multiple selectable options, which may be selected to initiate a process for configuring various settings and / or operating modes of electronic device 500a.

[0204] like Figure 6B As shown, the first device 500a receives a selection input 603b directed to the application icon 640 when the first device 500a and the second device 500b are not in communication (as discussed above). For example, the first device 500a detects a tap 603b or touch (e.g., of a user's finger) via the touch screen 504a.

[0205] In some embodiments, in response to receiving the selection input 603b, the first device 500a displays a settings user interface 616 corresponding to the selected application icon 640 via the touch screen 504a, such as Figure 6C As shown. For example, the settings user interface 616 includes a plurality of user interface objects 626-1 to 626-10 associated with the operational settings of the first device 500a. The user interface object 626-1 corresponds to a selectable search bar configured to receive a search query related to the settings application. The user interface object 626-2 may optionally be selected to cause the first device 500a to display information and / or additional user interface objects corresponding to the user account / profile of the electronic device 500a (e.g., in the second user interface). The user interface object 626-3 may be selected to cause the first device 500a to initiate a process for disabling the reception and transmission of wireless signals. The user interface object 626-4 may be selected to cause the first device 500a to display a user interface for connecting to a specific Wi-Fi network. The user interface object 626-5 may be selected to cause the first device 500a to display a user interface for controlling a Bluetooth connection with an external device. The user interface object 626-6 may be selected to cause the first device 500a to display a user interface including information corresponding to the data usage of the electronic device 500a (e.g., and / or additional user interface objects). User interface object 626-7 may be selected to cause the first device 500a to display multiple selectable options for configuring the profile settings (such as device storage and user preference settings) of the electronic device 500a. User interface object 626-8 may be selected to cause the first device 500a to display a user interface for configuring and / or customizing the control toolbar / user interface of the first device 500a. User interface object 626-9 may be selected to cause the first device 500a to display a user interface for adjusting and / or configuring the characteristics of the touch screen 504a. User interface object 626-10 may be selected to cause the first device 500a to display one or more user interfaces for configuring features and / or shortcuts that support and / or enhance the interaction of the user with the first device 500a.

[0206] like Figure 6C As shown, the first device 500a receives a selection input (e.g., a tap or touch input) 603c directed to the user interface object 626-10 in the settings user interface 616. In some embodiments, as described above, in response to receiving the selection input 603c, the electronic device 500a displays one or more user interfaces for configuring the accessibility features of the electronic device 500a. Fig.6DAs shown, one of such user interfaces optionally includes a watch control user interface 614 that includes a list of external devices (e.g., wearable electronic devices such as smart watches) known to the first device 500a. Fig.6D As shown, the watch control user interface includes a user interface object 624-1 and a user interface object 624-2 corresponding to an external device with which the first device 500a can initiate a remote interaction mode. Fig.6D As shown, the first device 500a optionally receives a selection input (eg, a tap or touch input) 603d directed to the user interface object 624-1.

[0207] In some embodiments, in response to receiving the selection input 603d, the first device 500a initiates a remote interaction mode with the second device 500b (e.g., identified as "My Watch" in the user interface object 624-1). Fig. 6E As shown, the first device 500a establishes a connection with the second device 500b (e.g., a wireless connection such as via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi), as shown in legend 662. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. Fig. 6E As shown, the first device 500a displays a user interface 619 indicating that the first device 500a is communicating with a second device 500b (eg, identified as "My Watch"). Additionally, as shown Fig. 6E As shown, the user interface 619 includes a selectable option 629 that can be selected to cause the first device 500a to operate in a remote interaction mode with the second device 500b, as shown in FIG. Figure 6J In some embodiments, when the remote interaction mode is initialized between the first device 500a and the second device 500b, the second device 500b displays a user interface object 613 indicating that the remote interaction mode has been initialized, such as Fig. 6E shown.

[0208] FIG. 6F to FIG. 6H The first electronic device is shown to initiate a remote interaction mode with a second electronic device in response to detecting a user input in a control user interface of the first electronic device. Fig. 6F , the first device 500a is optionally displaying the above reference Figure 6B The home screen user interface 606. Fig. 6F As shown in the legend 664 in FIG. 5 , the remote interaction mode has not yet been initialized between the first device 500a and the second device 500b. Fig. 6F, the first device 500a optionally receives an interactive input directed to the top area of ​​the user interface 606 (e.g., a tap and hold on the touch screen 504a followed by a downward movement along the surface of the touch screen 504a) 603f.

[0209] In some embodiments, in response to receiving the interactive input 603f, the first device 500a displays the control user interface 632 via the touch screen 504a, such as Figure 6G For example, Figure 6G As shown, the control user interface 632 includes multiple user interface elements 642-1 to 642-10 for controlling multiple corresponding parameters and / or operations of the first device 500a. For example, the multiple user interface elements implement control of wireless and / or data carrier parameters (642-1), output of audio (642-2), brightness level of the touch screen 504a (642-3), volume level of audio (642-4), enabling limited notification mode (642-5), limiting rotation of the display of the touch screen 504a (642-6), use of an external monitor (642-7), initializing a remote interaction mode (642-8), activating one or more LEDs of the device 500a (642-9) and / or launching a camera application (642-10). Figure 6G As shown, while the control user interface 632 is displayed, the first device 500a receives a selection input (eg, a tap or touch input) 603g directed to a selectable option 642-8 associated with initiating a remote interaction mode.

[0210] In some embodiments, in response to receiving a selection of selectable option 642-8, the first device 500a initializes a remote interaction mode with the second device 500b, as described above with reference to Fig. 6E For example, Figure 6H As shown, the first device 500a and the second device 500b are communicatively linked, as shown in legend 662. Additionally, as shown in FIG. Figure 6H As shown, the first device 500a displays the user interface 619 and the second device 500b displays the user interface object 613, as described above with reference to Fig. 6E As described, the user interface object indicates that the remote interaction mode has been initialized between the first device 500a and the second device 500b.

[0211] FIG. 6I to FIG. 6J The first electronic device is shown in response to detecting a user input via a hardware control of the first electronic device to initiate a remote interaction mode with a second electronic device. Fig.6I , the first device 500a is optionally displaying the above reference Figure 6BThe home screen user interface 606. In some embodiments, when displaying a user interface other than the home screen user interface 606, the electronic device 500 similarly responds to receiving Fig.6I In some embodiments, when the display 504 is in a dormant state and is not displaying a user interface, the electronic device 500 responds to receiving the input. Fig.6I In some embodiments, the electronic device 500 responds to receiving the input of Fig.6I The remote interaction mode is initiated by the input shown, regardless of whether the electronic device 500 is displaying a user interface and regardless of the user interface being displayed (if any). Fig.6I As shown in the legend 664 in FIG. 5 , the remote interaction mode has not yet been initialized between the first device 500a and the second device 500b. Fig.6I In some embodiments, the first device 500a optionally receives an interactive input directed to a physical button (e.g., a power button) 641 of the first device 500a. For example, the first device 500a detects that an object (e.g., a finger 612) sequentially presses and releases the physical button 641 a corresponding number of times (e.g., three times ("3x")). In some embodiments, the selection of the physical button 641 a corresponding number of times corresponds to a request to initialize a remote interaction mode between the first device 500a and the second device 500b (e.g., as defined by a shortcut setting associated with the physical button 641 on the electronic device 500a).

[0212] In some embodiments, in response to receiving a corresponding number of selections of the physical button 641, the first device 500a initializes a remote interaction mode with the second device 500b, as described above with reference to Fig. 6E For example, Figure 6J As shown, the first device 500a and the second device 500b are communicatively linked, as shown in legend 662. Additionally, as shown in FIG. Figure 6J As shown, the first device 500a displays the user interface 619 and the second device 500b displays the user interface object 613, as described above with reference to Fig. 6E The user interface object indicates that a remote interaction mode has been initialized between the first device 500a and the second device 500b. In some embodiments, as described below, in response to receiving a selection of a selectable option 629 of the user interface 619 (e.g., via Figure 6J , the first device 500a and the second device 500b enter a remote interaction mode, which includes simultaneously displaying an image (eg, a user interface) on the first device 500a and the second device 500b.

[0213] Figure 6K to Figure 6V2 shows an exemplary interaction with a messaging application when the first electronic device is in a remote interaction mode with the second electronic device. Figure 6J In response to the selection input 603j received in the first device 500a, the first device 500a displays a remote interaction user interface 646, which corresponds to the remote interaction mode between the first device 500a and the second device 500b, such as Figure 6K For example, Figure 6K As shown, when the first device 500a and the second device 500b are in a remote interaction mode (as indicated by legend 662), the first device 500a displays a representation 500b' of the second device in the remote interaction user interface 646. For example, the second device 500b transmits data associated with displaying one or more images and metadata associated with the one or more images to the first device 500a, thereby enabling the first device 500a to display a rendering / representation of the second device 500b, including graphical content (e.g., user interface, selectable options, and / or user interface objects) of the touch screen 504b of the second device 500b, and respond to user interactions directed to the graphical content (e.g., using metadata). In some embodiments, the representation 500b' of the second device includes a representation 504b' of the touch screen of the second device 500b and an image of the user interface 608 displayed on the second device 500b. For example, as Figure 6K As shown, the first device 500a displays a representation 608' of a watch screen user interface, which includes a representation 628a' of an alarm user interface object, a representation 628b' of a battery power user interface object, a representation 628c' of a calendar user interface object and / or a representation 628d' of a weather user interface object.

[0214] Additionally, if Figure 6K As shown, when the first device 500a enters the remote interaction mode with the second device 500b (e.g., when the first device 500a displays the remote interaction user interface 646), the second device 500b displays a visual indication 647 indicating that the first device 500a and the second device 500b are operating in the remote interaction mode. Figure 6K As shown, the second device 500b stops Figure 6J The user interface object 613 is shown. Figure 6K As shown, the visual indication 647 is displayed along the perimeter of the touch screen 504b of the second device 500b and surrounds the watch screen user interface 608. In some embodiments, the visual indication is a colored, bold, bright, or otherwise visually emphasized band displayed for the duration of the remote interaction mode.

[0215] As described herein, when the first device 500a and the second device 500b are operating in remote interaction mode, the user can control the second device 500b by interacting with the representation 500b' of the second device displayed on the first device 500a (e.g., interacting with the user interface on the second device 500b and / or updating the display of the user interface). In some embodiments, when the first device 500a detects input directed to the representation 500b' of the second device and / or an image (e.g., a representation of a user interface) displayed on the representation 500b' of the second device, the first device 500a transmits data including instructions corresponding to the user input to the second device 500b. As discussed below, in response to receiving the data, the second device 500b optionally performs one or more operations according to the instructions, including updating the display of the image (e.g., user interface, selectable options, user interface objects) displayed on the second device 500b. In some embodiments, when the second device 500b performs one or more operations, the second device 500b transmits data associated with displaying one or more updated images and metadata associated with the one or more updated images to the first device 500a, thereby enabling the first device 500a to update the display of the second device's representation 500b' in real time (e.g., within a threshold amount of time (such as 0.005 seconds, 0.01 seconds, 0.05 seconds, 0.07 seconds, 0.1 seconds, 0.5 seconds, 0.75 seconds, 1 second, or 1.5 seconds) of receiving user input at the first device).

[0216] exist Figure 6L In FIG. 6 , when the first device 500a and the second device 500b are operating in the remote interaction mode, the user receives an incoming message 624 from the second user (“John”). For example, the second device 500b (and / or the first device 500a) receives data corresponding to the incoming message 624 from the second user (John), which causes the second device 500b to present a notification of the incoming message on the touch screen 504b. Figure 6L As shown, the second device 500b displays a preview 627 of the message from John, a first option 629-1 that can be selected to initiate the process of replying to the message, and a second option 629-2 that can be selected to ignore the message (e.g., give up replying to the message) and stop displaying the preview 627 and options 629-1 and 629-2. Figure 6L As shown, when the user receives an incoming message 624, the first device 500a updates the display of the representation 500b' of the second device to include a representation 627' of the preview, a representation 629-1' of the first option, and a representation 629-2' of the second option (e.g., in response to receiving data corresponding to the display of such images from the second device 500b).

[0217] In some embodiments, when the first device 500a and the second device 500b are in remote interaction mode and the first device 500a and the second device 500b are associated with (e.g., logged into) the same user account / profile, when the first device 500a and / or the second device 500b detects a notification event (e.g., an incoming phone call, an incoming message (e.g., Figure 6L ), incoming email, and / or application notification), the first device 500a and / or the second device 500b generates a notification corresponding to the notification event. For example, in response to detecting the notification event, the first device 500a displays the notification on the touch screen 504a (e.g., in a predetermined area on the touch screen 504a, such as the top area), and the second device 500b displays the notification on the touch screen 504b (e.g., the notification is thus displayed on the representation 500b' of the second device located on the first device 500a, as shown in Figure 6L Similarly, in some embodiments, when in remote interaction mode, in response to detecting input directed to a notification (e.g., selection of a notification), the first device 500a performs an operation associated with the notification (e.g., displays a user interface associated with the notification), and / or the second device 500b performs an operation associated with the notification (e.g., the operation is thereby reflected in the representation 500b' of the second device located on the first device, as described below).

[0218] like Figure 6L As shown, the first device 500a receives a selection input (e.g., a tap or touch input) 6031 directed to a representation 629-1' of a first option. In some embodiments, as discussed above, the selection of the representation 629-1' of the first option causes the first device 500a to transmit data including instructions corresponding to the selection to the second device 500b. Figure 6M As shown, in response to receiving data from the first device 500a, the second device 500b displays a message sending user interface 631 via the touch screen 504b. Figure 6M As shown, the message sending user interface 631 includes multiple representations of messages (e.g., involving John) sent to or from the electronic device 500b (including a message just received from the second user ("How about lunch tomorrow?"). Figure 6M As shown, the message sending user interface 631 optionally includes an application icon 633-1 and a message option 633-2. When selected, the message option causes the electronic device 500b to present a user interface for composing a message to be sent to the second user. Figure 6MAs shown, when the second device 500b displays the message sending user interface 631, the second device 500b maintains display of the visual indication 647 (eg, because the first device 500a and the second device 500b are still operating in the remote interaction mode).

[0219] like Figure 6M As shown, in some embodiments, the second device 500b transmits data (e.g., an image) corresponding to the message user interface 631 and metadata associated with the message user interface 631, thereby enabling the first device 500a to update the display of the representation 500b' of the second device. Figure 6M As shown, the first device 500a updates the representation 500b' of the second device to include a representation 631' of a message user interface, a representation of messages between the user and the second user (John), a representation 633-1' of application icons, and a representation 633-2' of message options. In some embodiments, the second device 500b includes a first physical button 643 (e.g., a crown or dial) that is selectable (e.g., via a press applied to the button) and / or scrollable (e.g., via a scroll applied to the button). Figure 6M As shown, the representation 500b' of the second device displayed on the first device 500a includes a representation 643' of the first physical button.

[0220] In some embodiments, user input directed to a representation of a physical button of the second device 500b located on the first device 500a causes the second device 500b to perform one or more operations based on a corresponding physical interaction with the physical button. Figure 6M As shown, the first device 500a receives an interaction input 603m representing a first button 643' (e.g., a swipe or scroll gesture detected on the touch screen 504b'). In some embodiments, in response to receiving the interaction input 603m, the first device 500a transmits data including instructions corresponding to the physical interaction with the physical button 643 (e.g., scrolling of the dial / crown of the second device 500b) to the second device 500b.

[0221] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6N As shown, in response to receiving data from the first device 500a, the second device 500b scrolls through the messaging user interface 631 to reveal additional user interface objects 633-3 to 633-6 in the messaging user interface 631. For example, Figure 6N As shown, the second device 500b displays a selectable option 633-3 that can be selected to change the language associated with the message user interface 631, and a plurality of suggested responses 633-4 to 633-6 that can be selected to transmit a message to John. Figure 6NAs shown, the second device 500b transmits to the first device 500a an image of an updated display of the message sending user interface 631 on the second device 500b and metadata associated with the updated display. Figure 6N As shown, the first device 500a scrolls through the representation 631' of the messaging user interface and displays representations 633-3' through 633-6' of selectable options.

[0222] like Figure 6N As shown, the first device 500a receives a selection input (e.g., a tap or touch input) 603n pointing to a representation 633-3' of a selectable option (e.g., corresponding to the suggested reply "Sure!"). In some embodiments, as Fig.6O As shown, in response to the first device 500a receiving the selection input 603n, the second device 500b transmits the suggested reply ("Of course!") represented by the message 636-1 displayed in the message user interface 631 to the second user (e.g., due to the transmission of data corresponding to the input 603n from the first device 500a to the second device 500b). Additionally, as Fig.6O As shown, when the second device 500b transmits a message to the second user, the first device 500a updates the display of the representation 631' of the message sending user interface to include a representation 636-1' of the transmitted message (e.g., due to the transmission of updated images and metadata associated with the transmitted message from the second device 500b to the first device 500a).

[0223] exist Figure 6P , the user receives a subsequent incoming message 624 (e.g., from John), which causes the second device 500b to update the display of the messaging user interface 631 to include the new message from the second user ("Burger Joint or the Sandwich Club?"). Additionally, as Figure 6P As shown, the first device 500a updates the representation 631' of the message sending user interface to include a representation 636-2' of the new message (e.g., due to the transmission of updated images and metadata associated with the incoming message from the second device 500b to the first device 500a). Figure 6P As shown, the first device 500a receives a selection input (eg, a tap or touch input) 603p directed to a representation 633-2' of a message option.

[0224] In some embodiments, after the first device 500a receives the selection input 603p, the second device 500b performs a corresponding operation corresponding to the selection of the message option 633-2 (e.g., in real time), including displaying a soft keyboard. Figure 6QAs shown, the second device 500b displays a user interface 609 for composing a message to be sent to the second user (John). In some embodiments, the user interface 609 includes a message entry area 611 and a keyboard 618 for entering text into the message entry area 611, such as Figure 6Q Additionally, Figure 6Q As shown, after the second device 500b displays the user interface 609 including the message entry area 611 and the keyboard 618, the first device 500a optionally updates the display of the representation 500b' of the second device to include a representation 609' of the user interface, including a representation 611' of the message entry area and a representation 618' of the keyboard (e.g., in real time). Figure 6Q As shown, in some embodiments, the representation 618' of the keyboard corresponds to the keyboard 618 displayed on the second device 500b (e.g., the same or similar in appearance, form, and function). It should be understood that in some embodiments, the second device 500b may alternatively display a user interface for composing a message using handwritten text (e.g., drawn text that is converted to font-based text), and the first device 500a may display an image of the user interface for composing a message using handwritten text together with the representation 500b' of the second device.

[0225] like Figure 6Q As shown, the first device 500a receives a selection of one or more keys of the representation 618' of the keyboard while the first device 500a displays the representation 609' of the user interface and while the second device 500b displays the user interface 609. For example, the first device 500a detects a tap sequence directed to the keys of the representation 618' of the keyboard for composing a message to be sent to the second user (John).

[0226] In some embodiments, when the first device 500a receives Figure 6P When selecting input 603p pointing to representation 633-2' of a message icon in the first device 500a, the first device 500a alternatively displays a keyboard native to the first device 500a (e.g., associated with an operating system of the first device 500a) while displaying a user interface including keyboard 618 at the second device 500b. Figure 6R As shown, instead of updating the display of the representation 500b' of the second device to include a representation 618' of a keyboard, the first device 500a replaces the display of the representation 500b' of the second device with a message entry area 617-1 and a keyboard 617, which is optionally associated with the operating system of the first device 500a (e.g., and is different in appearance and / or form from the keyboard 618 displayed on the second device 500b that is optionally associated with the operating system of the second device 500b). It should be understood that in some embodiments, Figure 6RThe selection of one or more keys of keyboard 617 to Figure 6Q Selection of one or more keys of the representation 618' of the keyboard in the same or similar manner causes the second device 500b to compose a message based on the selected one or more keys.

[0227] In some embodiments, in response to the first device 500a receiving a selection of a key of the pointing keyboard representation 618' (and / or a key of the keyboard 617), the second device 500b displays a character sequence 611-1 corresponding to the selected key in the message entry area 611. For example, as described above, the second device 500b composes the message "Let's do the Burger Joint" in response to the selection of the key detected by the first device 500a (e.g., in real time). Figure 6S Additionally, in some embodiments, the second device 500b displays a cursor 611-2 together with the character sequence 611-1 in the message entry area 611, as shown. Figure 6S When the second device 500b updates the message entry area 611 to include the character sequence 611-1 in the message entry area 611, the first device 500a updates the display of the representation 500b' of the second device to include a representation 611-1' of the character sequence in the representation 611' of the message entry area (eg, in real time).

[0228] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6S As shown, the user interface 609 includes a send option 609-1, which can be selected to cause the second device 500b to transmit a message including a character sequence 611-1 to the second user (John). Figure 6S As shown, the representation 609' of the user interface displayed at the first device 500a optionally includes a representation 609-1' of the sending option. Figure 6S , the first device 500a receives a selection input (eg, a tap or touch input) 603r directed to a representation 609-1' of a send option.

[0229] In some embodiments, in response to the first device 500a receiving the selection input 603r, the second device 500b transmits a message including the character sequence 611-1 to the second user. Figure 6T As shown, the second device 500b redisplays the message sending user interface 631, which includes a message 636-3 written using the representation 618' of the keyboard on the first device 500a. Figure 6TAs shown, after the second device 500b transmits the message to the second user (eg, John), the first device 500a updates the display of the representation 500b' of the second device to include a representation 636-3' of the message in the representation 631' of the messaging user interface (eg, in real time).

[0230] like Figure 6T As shown, the first device 500a detects a selection input (e.g., a tap or touch input) 603s directed to a representation 643' of a first physical button. For example, the first device 500a receives a tap on the touch screen 504a corresponding to a press of the first physical button 643 of the second device 500b. In some embodiments, after the first device 500a receives a selection of the representation 643' of the first physical button, the second device 500b performs an operation corresponding to the press of the first physical button 643 of the second device 500b. For example, the second device 500b navigates backward and redisplays the watch screen user interface 608 (e.g., previously described above), as shown. Figure 6U In some embodiments, Figure 6U As shown, after the second device 500b redisplays the watch screen user interface 608, the first device 500a updates the representation 500b' of the second device to redisplay the representation 608' of the watch screen user interface (eg, in real time).

[0231] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6U As shown, the second device 500b includes a second physical button (e.g., a power button) 649. Figure 6U As shown, the representation 500b' of the second device displayed on the first device 500a optionally includes a representation 649' of the second physical button. Figure 6U , the first device 500a receives a selection input (e.g., a tap or touch input) 603u directed to a representation 649' of a second physical button. For example, the first device 500a detects a tap directed to a representation 649' of a second physical button on the touch screen 504a, which corresponds to a press of a second physical button 649 of the second device 500b.

[0232] In some embodiments, in response to the first device 500a receiving a selection of the representation 649' of the second physical button, the second device 500b performs an operation corresponding to pressing the second physical button 649 of the second device 500b. Figure 6V As shown, the second device 500b replaces the display of the watch screen user interface 608 with a plurality of tabs 656 to 658 corresponding to the applications operating on the second device 500b. Figure 6VAs shown, tab 656 may optionally be selected to display a user interface associated with a messaging application (e.g., similar to the messaging user interface 631 described above), tab 657 may optionally be selected to display a user interface associated with a timer application (e.g., for configuring / setting a timer at the second device 500b), and / or tab 658 may optionally be selected to display a user interface associated with an audio application (e.g., a music player application, a podcast application, and / or an audiobook application) operating on the second device 500b. In some embodiments, as Figure 6V As shown, after the second device 500b displays multiple tabs 656-658 on the touch screen 504b, the first device 500a updates the display of the second device's representation 500b' to replace the display of the representation of the watch screen user interface 608 with the representation of the tabs 656'-658' (e.g., in real time).

[0233] Figure 6W to Figure 6Z An exemplary interaction with an image when the first electronic device is in a remote interaction mode with the second electronic device is shown. Figure 6W As shown, the first device 500a is operating in a remote interaction mode with the second device 500b, as shown in legend 662. As described above, when in the remote interaction mode, the first device 500a displays a representation 500b' of the second device, including one or more images on a representation 504b' of the touch screen of the second device, such as Figure 6W For example, the one or more images correspond to a user interface, selectable options, and / or user interface objects currently displayed on the second device 500b.

[0234] like Figure 6W As shown, the second device 500b is displaying a watch screen user interface 608 (e.g., displaying the current time of day at the second device 500b), which includes a calendar user interface object 628c and an image of a flower (e.g., a wallpaper of the watch screen user interface 608). Additionally, as similarly described above, because the first device 500a and the second device 500b are in the remote interaction mode, the second device 500b displays a visual indication 647, such as Figure 6W In addition, the first device 500a optionally displays a representation 608' of a watch screen user interface, including a representation 628c' of a calendar user interface object and an image of a flower, such as Figure 6W shown.

[0235] As described below, user input directed to an image displayed in a first context causes the second device to perform a first operation, and user input directed to an image displayed in a second context different from the first context causes the second device to perform a second operation different from the first operation. Figure 6W, the first device 500a receives a selection input (e.g., a tap or touch input) 603w directed to a corresponding portion of the representation 504b' of the touch screen. As discussed above, the watch screen user interface 608 includes an image of a flower (e.g., the context of the display of the image of the flower is the wallpaper of the watch screen user interface 608). Figure 6W As shown, the corresponding portion of representation 504b' of the touch screen to which selection input 603w is directed includes representation 628c' of a calendar user interface object in watch screen user interface 608. Thus, selection input 603w corresponds to a selection of user interface object 628c displayed in watch screen user interface 608 on second device 500b, as described below.

[0236] In some embodiments, in response to receiving Figure 6W In the embodiment of the present invention, the first device 500a transmits to the second device 500b a selection 603w of the representation 628c' pointing to the calendar user interface object, including the selection of the calendar user interface object 628 displayed in the watch screen user interface 608 on the second device 500b (such as Figure 6X The data of the corresponding instruction is shown in Figure 6X In response to receiving data from the first device 500a, the second device 500b displays the calendar user interface 637 via the touch screen 504b. For example, Figure 6X As shown, the calendar user interface 637 includes the current date and an upcoming calendar event 638 (e.g., "Drop-off dog") at the second device 500b, including information associated with the upcoming calendar event 638 (e.g., a time associated with the event, a duration of the event, and / or a location associated with the event). In some embodiments, after displaying the calendar user interface 637, the second device 500b transmits an image of the calendar user interface 637 and metadata associated with the calendar user interface 637 to the first device 500a. Figure 6X As shown, in response to receiving the image and metadata from the second device 500b, the first device 500a updates the display of the second device's representation 500b' to replace the display of the watch screen user interface representation 608' with a representation 637' of the calendar user interface (including representations 638' of upcoming calendar events).

[0237] exist Figure 6Y In the example, the image of the flower is alternatively displayed in the photo application on the second device 500b (for example, the context of the display of the image of the flower is in the photo viewing user interface 639 on the second device 500b). Figure 6Y As shown, representation 500b' of the second device includes representation 639' of a photo viewing user interface including an image of a flower. Figure 6Y, the first device 500a receives a selection input (eg, a tap or touch input) 603y directed to a corresponding portion of the representation 504b' of the touch screen. Figure 6W In some embodiments, the corresponding portion of the touch screen 504b' at which the selection input 603y is detected does not correspond to a portion of the photo viewing user interface 639 displayed at the second device 500b that includes selectable options or user interface objects, such as Figure 6Y shown.

[0238] In some embodiments, in response to receiving the selection input 603w, the first device 500a transmits data including instructions corresponding to the selection of the corresponding portion of the photo viewing user interface 639 to the second device 500b. Figure 6Z As shown, in response to receiving the data, the second device 500b displays a plurality of user interface elements 651-1 to 651-3 in the photo viewing user interface 639 via the touch screen 504b. For example, the second device 500b displays a visual indication 651-1 corresponding to the current time of day at the second device 500b, a selectable option 651-2 that can be selected to navigate back in the photo viewing user interface 639 (e.g., and display multiple photos), and a selectable option 651-3 that can be selected to share the image of the flowers (e.g., via a message and / or email), as shown. Figure 6Z In some embodiments, after displaying the user interface elements 651-1 to 651-3, the second device 500b transmits data (e.g., images) of the user interface elements 651-1 to 651-3 and metadata associated with the user interface elements 651-1 to 651-3 to the first device 500a. Figure 6Z As shown, in response to receiving the image and metadata, the first device 500a updates the display of the representation 500b' of the second device to include representations 651-1' to 651-3' of the user interface elements in the representation 639' of the photo viewing user interface. It should be understood that in some embodiments, user input directed to the representations 651-1' to 651-3' of the user interface elements received at the first device 500a causes the second device 500b to perform corresponding operations associated with the user interface elements 651-1 to 651-3 displayed in the photo viewing user interface 639 on the second device 500b in a manner similar to that described above.

[0239] Thus, as described above, the direction received at the first device 500a is in the first context (e.g., in Figure 6W, as wallpaper) in the image (e.g., an image of flowers) displayed in the second device 500b causes the second device 500b to perform the first operation (e.g., Figure 6X , displaying a calendar user interface 637), and pointing to a second context different from the first context (e.g., Figure 6Y , a user input (e.g., selection input 603y) of an image displayed in the photo viewing user interface 639 causes the second device to perform a second operation different from the first operation (e.g., Figure 6Z , additional user interface elements 651-1 to 651-3 are displayed.

[0240] Figure 6AA to Figure 6CC FIG. 2 shows an exemplary interaction with content using an external input device when the first electronic device is in a remote interaction mode with the second electronic device. Figure 6AA As shown, the first device 500a is operating in a remote interaction mode with the second device 500b, as shown in legend 662. As described above, when in the remote interaction mode, the first device 500a displays a representation 500b' of the second device, including one or more images on a representation 504b' of the touch screen of the second device, such as Figure 6AA For example, the one or more images correspond to a user interface, selectable options, and / or user interface objects currently displayed on the second device 500b.

[0241] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6AA As shown in legend 662 in FIG. 1 , the first device 500a communicates with an external input device (e.g., a touchpad) 560. In some embodiments, the first device 500a communicates with an external keyboard, mouse, or control switch. For example, the touchpad 560 is configured to receive user input (e.g., on a touch-sensitive surface of the touchpad) for interacting with content displayed on the first device 500a. Figure 6AA As shown, the second device 500b is displaying a watch screen user interface 608 (eg, as described above with reference to FIG. 1 ). Fig. 6A Additionally, as similarly described above, because the first device 500a and the second device 500b are in the remote interaction mode, the second device 500b displays a visual indication 647, such as Figure 6AA In addition, the first device 500a optionally displays a representation 608' of a watch screen user interface, such as Figure 6AA shown.

[0242] In some embodiments, when the first device 500a is in the remote interaction mode with the second device 500b, the first device 500a is operating in the accessibility mode. For example, in the accessibility mode, one or more accessibility features that enhance and / or support the user's interaction with the first device 500a are enabled, such as an audio output feature and / or a switch control assist feature. Figure 6AA As shown, when the accessibility mode is active, the first device 500a optionally displays a graphical pointer (e.g., cursor) 659 that can be controlled using the touchpad 560 in the remote interaction user interface 646. In some embodiments, when the accessibility mode is active (e.g., when the switch control auxiliary feature is active), the first device 500a visually emphasizes (e.g., highlights) an element (e.g., a user interface object) of the representation 500b' of the second device in the remote interaction user interface 646. The input received via the external input device 560 when the corresponding element of the representation 500b' of the second device is visually emphasized initiates a process for performing a corresponding operation involving the corresponding element (e.g., selecting a corresponding user interface object). Therefore, as described below, when the first device 500a and the second device 500b are in the remote interaction mode and / or when the accessibility mode is active on the first device 500a, the user input directed to the representation 500b' of the second device received via the external input device 560 causes the second device 500b to perform one or more corresponding actions according to the user input.

[0243] exist Figure 6AA , the first device 500a receives an interactive input 603-1 corresponding to a request to move a graphical pointer 659 via an external input device 560. For example, the touchpad 560 detects contact movement (e.g., of a user's finger) on a touch-sensitive surface of the touchpad 560. In some embodiments, in response to receiving the interactive input 603-1 via the external input device 560, the first device moves the graphical pointer 659 according to the interactive input, such as Figure 6BB For example, Figure 6BB As shown, the first device 500a moves the graphical pointer 659 over the corresponding portion of the representation 500b' of the second device. In some embodiments, the first device 500a visually emphasizes (eg, highlights) the corresponding portion of the representation 500b' of the second device.

[0244] exist Figure 6BB , the first device receives an interactive input (eg, touch or press) 603-2 corresponding to a request to perform a selection at the location of the graphical pointer 659 via the external input device 560. Figure 6BBAs shown, the graphical pointer 659 is located over a portion of the representation 628a' of the alarm clock user interface object. Therefore, the first device 500a determines that the interaction input 603-2 corresponds to a selection of the representation 628a' of the alarm clock user interface object (eg, the representation is optionally visually emphasized).

[0245] In some embodiments, in response to the first device 500a receiving a selection of the representation 628a' of the alarm user interface object, the second device 500b replaces the display of the watch user interface 608 with the alarm user interface 660, such as Figure 6CC For example, Figure 6CC As shown, the alarm user interface 660 includes information 654-1 (e.g., identifying the alarm time at the second device 500b and / or the date when the alarm will be generated) and a selectable option 654-2 that can be selected to initiate a process for configuring an additional alarm at the second device 500b. In some embodiments, after the second device 500b displays the alarm user interface 660, the first device 500a updates the display of the representation 500b' of the second device to replace the representation 608' of the watch screen user interface with the representation 660' of the alarm user interface (including the representation 654-1' of the information and the representation 654-2' of the selectable options) (e.g., in real time), such as Figure 6CC shown.

[0246] As described above, similarly, Figure 6CC , the first device 500a is optionally operating in accessibility mode. In some embodiments, while in accessibility mode, an audio output feature is active for the first device 500a. For example, with the audio output feature active, the first device 500a outputs audio that includes a description of an image, user interface, and / or graphical element displayed on the touch screen 504a. Thus, Figure 6CC As shown, when the first device 500a displays a representation 660' of an alarm user interface on the representation 500b' of the second device, the first device 500a outputs audio 653 corresponding to the representation 660' of the alarm user interface. For example, the first device 500a outputs the word "alarms" or the word "alarm user interface" via one or more speakers of the first device 500a, thereby notifying the user (e.g., audibly) that the representation 660' of the alarm user interface is displayed on the touch screen 504a. Therefore, as described above, when the first device 500a and the second device 500b are in the remote interaction mode, the accessibility features of the accessibility mode of the first device 500a enhance and / or support interaction with the representation of the second device to cause the second device 500b to perform a corresponding operation.

[0247] Figures 6DD to 6GG An example of terminating the remote interaction mode between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is shown. Figure 6DD , the first device 500a and the second device 500b are in remote interaction mode, as shown in legend 662. As described above, when in remote interaction mode, the first device 500a displays a representation 500b' of the second device in the remote interaction user interface 646 on the touch screen 504a of the first device 500a, which optionally includes a representation 608' of the watch screen user interface currently displayed on the second device 500b, as shown in FIG. Figure 6GG Additionally, as previously discussed herein, the second device 500b displays a visual indication 647 on the touch screen 504b indicating that the first device 500a and the second device 500b are in the remote interaction mode.

[0248] In some embodiments, the remote interaction user interface 646 includes a selectable option 652 that can be selected to stop display of the remote interaction user interface 646 and thereby terminate the remote interaction mode between the first device 500a and the second device 500b. Figure 6DD As shown, the first device 500a receives a selection input (eg, a tap or touch) 603 - 3 directed to a selectable option 652 in the remote interaction user interface 646 .

[0249] In some embodiments, in response to Figure 6DD Upon receiving a selection of the selectable option 652, the first device 500a stops displaying the remote interaction user interface 646 and terminates the remote interaction mode with the second device 500b, such as Figure 6EE For example, Figure 6EE As shown in legend 664 in FIG. 1 , the first device 500a and the second device 500b no longer exchange data and images corresponding to the image displayed on the second device 500b and the user input received at the first device 500a. Figure 6EE As shown, the first device 500a optionally redisplays the home screen user interface 606, and the second device 500b stops displaying the visual indication 647 indicating that the remote interaction mode is active. Additionally, in some embodiments, the second device 500b displays a user interface object 663 indicating that the remote interaction mode between the first device 500a and the second device 500b has been terminated.

[0250] In some embodiments, the remote interaction mode between the first device 500a and the second device 500b is terminated in response to user input received via a physical button of the first device 500a. Figure 6FFAs shown, when the first device 500a and the second device 500b are in the remote interaction mode, as shown in legend 662, the first device 500a receives a press of a physical button 641 of the first device 500a (e.g., via a finger 612). As previously discussed above, the physical button 641 optionally corresponds to a power button of the first device 500a, which can be selected to power off the display of the first device 500a (e.g., lock the first device 500a and / or put the device 500a into sleep mode).

[0251] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6GG As shown, in response to receiving the pressing of the physical button 641, the first device 500a turns off the touch screen 504a of the first device 500a. For example, the first device 500a stops displaying the remote interaction user interface 646, as shown in FIG. Figure 6GG In some embodiments, when the first device 500a turns off the touch screen 504a, the remote interaction mode is terminated between the first device 500a and the second device 500b, as shown in legend 664. In some embodiments, when the remote interaction mode is terminated, the second device 500b stops displaying the visual indication 647 and / or displays the user interface object 663, as similarly described above.

[0252] It should be understood that in some embodiments, any action that causes the touch screen 504a to turn off (e.g., powering off the first device 500a, or the first device 500a losing battery power) also causes the remote interaction mode to be terminated. Additionally, if the touch screen 504b of the second device is to be turned off (e.g., due to powering off or loss of battery power of the second device 500b), the remote interaction mode will also be terminated.

[0253] Figure 7 is a flowchart illustrating a method 700 for facilitating interaction between a first electronic device and a second electronic device in a remote interaction mode according to some embodiments. Method 700 is optionally performed on an electronic device (such as device 100, device 300, device 500), as described above with reference to Figure 1A to Figure 1B , Figures 2 to 3 , FIG. 4A to FIG. 4B and FIG. 5A to FIG. 5H Some operations in method 700 are optionally combined, and / or the order of some operations is optionally changed.

[0254] As described below, method 700 provides a way for a first electronic device to interact with a second electronic device in a remote interaction mode. The method reduces the cognitive burden of a user when interacting with the device user interface of the present disclosure, thereby creating a more efficient human-computer interface. For battery-powered electronic devices, improving the efficiency of user interaction with the user interface saves power and increases the time between battery charges.

[0255] In some embodiments, on a first electronic device (e.g., Figure 6K The method 700 is performed at a first device 500a in the embodiment of the present invention, wherein the first electronic device is connected to a display generation component, one or more input devices, and a second electronic device (eg, Figure 6K 500b) in the second device 500b). For example, the first electronic device is a mobile device (e.g., a tablet computer, a smart phone, a media player, or a wearable device) including a wireless communication circuit, optionally communicating with one or more of a mouse (e.g., external), a trackpad (optionally integrated or external), a touchpad (optionally integrated or external), a remote control device (e.g., external), another mobile device (e.g., separate from the electronic device), a handheld device (e.g., external), and / or a controller (e.g., external), etc. In some embodiments, the first electronic device is or includes a computer system. In some embodiments, the computer system is a tablet computer, a mobile phone, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a head-mounted display ("HMD"), a device with a mechanical wheelbase, a self-propelled device, a smart speaker, a wearable device, a personal auxiliary device, a robot, and / or a camera. In some embodiments, the display generation component is a display integrated with the electronic device (optionally a touch screen display), an external display such as a monitor, a projector, a television, or a hardware component (optionally integrated or external) for projecting a user interface or making the user interface visible to one or more users, etc. In some embodiments, the second electronic device is a wearable electronic device, such as a smart watch, which is configured to be worn on the wrist of a user of the smart watch. In some embodiments, the second electronic device includes wireless communication circuitry and communicates with a display generation component (e.g., an integrated touch screen display).

[0256] In some embodiments, when in remote interaction mode with a second electronic device, the first electronic device receives (702) a display image (e.g., Figure 6K 608) and corresponding data corresponding to the image, wherein the image is currently displayed via the second electronic device, such as Figure 6KDisplay of a watch screen user interface 608 on the second device 500b shown. For example, the first electronic device communicates with the second electronic device (e.g., via their respective wireless communication circuits) in a remote interaction mode (e.g., via a Bluetooth and / or Wi-Fi connection). In some embodiments, both the first electronic device and the second electronic device are logged into the same user account / profile associated with the user of the electronic device. In some embodiments, the second electronic device transmits an image and corresponding data corresponding to the image to the first electronic device in real time. For example, the second electronic device transmits data associated with the displayed image and corresponding data within a threshold amount of time (e.g., 0.005 seconds, 0.01 seconds, 0.05 seconds, 0.07 seconds, 0.1 seconds, 0.5 seconds, 0.75 seconds, 1 second, or 1.5 seconds) of displaying the image via the second electronic device (e.g., a display generation component of the second electronic device). In some embodiments, the image includes a user interface (e.g., a time of day user interface (e.g., a watch face), an application user interface, and / or a home screen user interface), one or more representations of selectable options (e.g., optionally within the user interface), and / or a representation of an application icon. In some embodiments, the corresponding data includes metadata (e.g., image source, image size, image author, creation time, etc.) that describes and / or provides information about the image displayed on the second electronic device, such as information about the function to be performed by the second electronic device in response to the selection of a given element in the image. In some embodiments, the first electronic device enters a remote interaction mode with the second electronic device in response to receiving a corresponding user input. For example, as described below, the first electronic device initializes a remote interaction mode with the second electronic device in response to receiving one or more selections of a hardware button of the first electronic device (or vice versa). Additionally or alternatively, as described below, the first electronic device optionally initializes a remote interaction mode with the second electronic device in response to receiving a selection of a pairing option displayed via a display generation component that communicates with the first electronic device and / or the second electronic device. For example, as discussed below, the pairing option is displayed in a settings user interface (e.g., in a communication portion of the settings user interface) and / or is displayed in a control toolbar displayed on the home screen of the first electronic device and / or the second electronic device. In some embodiments, in response to receiving data associated with a display image and corresponding data corresponding to the image from a second electronic device, the first electronic device displays the image via a display generation component that communicates with the first electronic device.

[0257] In some embodiments, before displaying an image via a display generation component (e.g., such as Figure 6K), the first electronic device receives (704) input associated with the image (e.g., input selecting a particular visual element in the image, where the image includes one or more visually selectable elements) via one or more input devices, such as Figure 6W 603w in the selection input. For example, when the first electronic device is displaying an image (e.g., a time of day user interface, an application user interface, and / or a home screen user interface), the first electronic device receives input pointing to the image. In some embodiments, the input is detected on the touch screen display of the first electronic device (e.g., at a position of the touch screen display corresponding to the position of the image). In some embodiments, as described below, when the first electronic device is in a remote interaction mode with the second electronic device, the first electronic device receives input via an external input device that communicates with the first electronic device. For example, the input is detected via a keyboard, mouse, or trackpad connected to the first electronic device (e.g., wirelessly). In some embodiments, when the first electronic device receives input associated with the image, the second electronic device maintains the display of the image. In some embodiments, the input associated with the image includes a selection input pointing to an image (e.g., a portion of the image) displayed on the first electronic device. For example, the input corresponds to a selection of an option / affordance associated with the image (e.g., displayed within and / or on the image). In some embodiments, portions of the image (e.g., including options / affordances / elements displayed in the image) are associated with different operations, functions, applications, and / or controls. For example, selection of an option / affordance / element displayed in an image (on a first electronic device or a second electronic device) causes the second electronic device to perform an action associated with the particular option / affordance / element selected, as discussed in more detail below. In some embodiments, metadata corresponding to the image defines commands or instructions associated with the selected portion of the image. For example, the metadata defines commands or instructions transmitted by the first electronic device to the second electronic device, and thereby defines a specific action performed by the second electronic device in response to the first electronic device receiving a selection input, as discussed in more detail below.

[0258] In some embodiments, in response to receiving the input (706), based on determining that the corresponding data is the first data, the first electronic device performs (708) a first operation associated with the image (e.g., a specific visual element in the image) and the first data, such as Figure 6WThe selection of the calendar user interface object 628c shown. For example, based on determining that the metadata corresponding to the image is the first metadata, the first electronic device performs a first type of operation. As described above, the image is optionally or includes a user interface (e.g., a time of day user interface, an application user interface, a home screen user interface, etc.). In some embodiments, the first data corresponding to the image includes data for performing a first operation (including activating one or more options displayed with the image). For example, when the first electronic device displays a user interface including one or more selectable options in a remote interaction mode, in response to receiving an input, the first electronic device activates one of the one or more selectable options according to the input. In some embodiments, the activation of the selectable option includes updating the display of the image (e.g., the user interface) to include one or more additional selectable options and / or user interface elements (e.g., additional information, images, and / or icons). In some embodiments, the activation of the selectable option includes displaying a new image associated with the selectable option (e.g., replacing the display of the user interface with a different user interface associated with the selectable option (such as a corresponding application user interface associated with a corresponding application icon)). In some embodiments, the activation of the selectable option includes causing the execution of a corresponding operation involving a second electronic device. For example, in response to receiving an input, the first electronic device causes the second electronic device to output audio, generate tactile feedback and / or emit light. In some embodiments, in response to receiving an input, the first electronic device transmits data corresponding to the first operation to the second electronic device. As discussed above, in remote interaction mode, when the first electronic device receives an input, the first electronic device and the second electronic device optionally display an image simultaneously. As discussed below, when the first electronic device performs the first operation in response to receiving an input, the second electronic device optionally receives data (e.g., instructions) from the first electronic device that causes the second electronic device to also perform the first operation. In some embodiments, the second electronic device performs the first operation in real time (e.g., within a threshold amount of time (such as 0.005 seconds, 0.01 seconds, 0.05 seconds, 0.07 seconds, 0.1 seconds, 0.5 seconds, 0.75 seconds, 1 second or 1.5 seconds)). In some embodiments, in response to receiving an input, performing the first operation includes transmitting to the second electronic device data (e.g., instructions) that causes the second electronic device to perform one of the operations described above involving images. For example, when a first electronic device transmits an instruction to a second electronic device, the instruction causes the second electronic device to perform one of the operations discussed above, which includes updating an image displayed on the second electronic device (and first metadata corresponding to the image), and transmitting data associated with displaying the updated image and the first metadata back to the first electronic device (for example, in real time).The first electronic device then optionally updates the display of the image displayed via the display generation component to correspond to the updated image (e.g., in real time). Thus, when an input directed to the image is received at the first electronic device, the first electronic device uses the first metadata corresponding to the image to determine specific instructions to be transmitted to the second electronic device that cause the second electronic device to perform a corresponding operation involving the image.

[0259] In some embodiments, based on determining that the corresponding data is the second data, the first electronic device performs (710) a second operation associated with the image (e.g., a specific visual element in the image) and the second data that is different from the first operation, such as Figure 6YThe selection of the image of the flower shown. For example, according to determining that the metadata corresponding to the image is the second metadata, the first electronic device performs a second type of operation different from the first type of operation. In some embodiments, the image is optionally or includes a user interface associated with an image viewing application. In some embodiments, when the metadata is the first metadata or the second metadata, the image (or a portion of the image) has the same appearance. In some such embodiments, when a portion of the image (e.g., an option / affordance / application icon) is selected, the metadata causes different operations to be performed. In some embodiments, the second data corresponding to the image includes data for performing a second operation (including updating the display of the image to include one or more selectable options associated with the image). For example, when the first electronic device displays an image of the user interface (e.g., a screenshot or representation) in a remote interaction mode, in response to receiving an input, the first electronic device displays one of the one or more selectable options according to the input. In some embodiments, the one or more selectable options can be selected to cause the first electronic device to perform one or more corresponding operations involving the image. For example, the one or more selectable options include image editing options (e.g., for editing the appearance, size, shape, lighting, contrast, color and / or clarity of the image), zoom in / out options, and / or sharing options (e.g., for sharing via text message, email, or wireless transmission). In some embodiments, the input corresponds to a selection of a scrolling option, and performing the second operation includes activating a scrolling operation displayed with the image. For example, the first electronic device updates the display of the image of the user interface to scroll in a corresponding direction (e.g., an upward or downward direction) to reveal an additional portion of the image. In some embodiments, the scrolling option is displayed because the corresponding data is the second data. In some embodiments, as discussed similarly above, in response to receiving the input, the first electronic device transmits data corresponding to the second operation to the second electronic device. As discussed below, when the first electronic device performs the second operation in response to receiving the input, the second electronic device receives data (e.g., instructions) from the first electronic device that causes the second electronic device to also perform the second operation. In some embodiments, the second electronic device performs the second operation in real time (e.g., within a threshold amount of time (such as 0.005 seconds, 0.01 seconds, 0.05 seconds, 0.07 seconds, 0.1 seconds, 0.5 seconds, 0.75 seconds, 1 second, or 1.5 seconds) that the first electronic device performs the second operation. In some embodiments, in response to receiving the input, performing the second operation includes transmitting data (e.g., instructions) to the second electronic device that causes the second electronic device to perform one of the operations involving images described above.For example, when the first electronic device transmits an instruction to the second electronic device, the instruction causes the second electronic device to perform one of the operations discussed above, the operation including updating the image displayed on the second electronic device (and the second metadata corresponding to the image), and transmitting back to the first electronic device data associated with displaying the updated image and the second metadata (e.g., in real time). The first electronic device then optionally updates the display of the image displayed via the display generation component to correspond to the updated image (e.g., in real time). Therefore, when an input pointing to an image is received at the first electronic device, the first electronic device uses the second metadata corresponding to the image to determine a specific instruction to be transmitted to the second electronic device that causes the second electronic device to perform a corresponding operation involving the image. The corresponding operation involving the image is performed based on the data corresponding to the image displayed at the first electronic device transmitted from the second electronic device communicating with the first electronic device, which facilitates user input for performing the corresponding operation involving the image displayed at the second electronic device, and / or reduces the number of inputs required for the execution, thereby improving user-device interaction.

[0260] In some embodiments, in response to receiving the input, based on determining that the corresponding data is the first data, performing the first operation includes transmitting one or more first instructions to the second electronic device, the one or more first instructions causing the second electronic device to perform a third operation associated with the image and the first data, such as Figure 6X Display of the user interface 637 on the second device 500b shown. In some embodiments, in response to receiving the input, performing the first operation includes transmitting data (e.g., instructions) to the second electronic device that causes the second electronic device to perform one of the operations involving the image described above. For example, when the first electronic device transmits one or more first instructions to the second electronic device, the one or more first instructions cause the second electronic device to update the image displayed on the second electronic device (and the first metadata corresponding to the image). In some embodiments, the one or more instructions cause the second electronic device to update the image displayed on the second electronic device in a manner similar to the case where the second electronic device itself has received the input. In some embodiments, the third operation includes displaying one or more selectable options simultaneously with the image via the display of the second electronic device. In some embodiments, the third operation includes displaying one or more user interface elements (e.g., additional information, images, and / or selectable icons) at the second electronic device. In some embodiments, the third operation includes displaying a new image at the second electronic device (e.g., replacing the display of the user interface displayed when the first input is received with a different user interface (such as a corresponding application user interface associated with a corresponding application icon)). In some embodiments, performing the third operation includes outputting audio, generating tactile feedback, and / or emitting light at the second electronic device.

[0261] In some embodiments, based on determining that the corresponding data is the second data, performing the second operation includes transmitting one or more second instructions to the second electronic device, the one or more second instructions causing the second electronic device to perform a fourth operation associated with the image and the second data, such as Figure 6Z The display of user interface objects 651-1 to 651-3 on the second device 500b shown. In some embodiments, in response to receiving the input, performing the second operation includes transmitting data (e.g., instructions) to the second electronic device so that the second electronic device performs one of the operations involving the image described above. For example, when the first electronic device transmits one or more second instructions to the second electronic device, the one or more second instructions cause the second electronic device to update the image displayed on the second electronic device (and the second metadata corresponding to the image). In some embodiments, the one or more instructions cause the second electronic device to update the image displayed on the second electronic device in a manner similar to the case where the second electronic device itself has received the input. In some embodiments, the fourth operation includes displaying one or more selectable options associated with the image on the second electronic device. In some embodiments, the one or more selectable options may be selected so that the second electronic device performs one or more corresponding operations involving the image. In some embodiments, the fourth operation includes activating a scrolling option displayed with the image. For example, the first electronic device updates the display of the image of the user interface to scroll in a corresponding direction (e.g., upward or downward direction) to reveal an additional portion of the image. Performing corresponding operations involving an image displayed at a first electronic device based on data corresponding to the image transmitted from a second electronic device that communicates with the first electronic device facilitates user input for performing corresponding operations involving the image displayed at the second electronic device, and / or reduces the amount of input required for the execution, thereby improving user-device interaction.

[0262] In some embodiments, the second electronic device includes a hardware input device (e.g., a hardware button, rotary dial, or switch), such as Figure 6M In some embodiments, when in remote interaction mode, the first electronic device displays a representation of the hardware input device of the second electronic device simultaneously with the image via the display generation component, such as Figure 6MA display of a representation 643' of a physical button on the first device 500a shown. For example, an image of a user interface displayed on the second electronic device is displayed simultaneously with a representation of a hardware input device on the first electronic device. In some embodiments, when in a remote interaction mode with a second electronic device, the first electronic device displays a representation of the second electronic device, including an image at its appropriate and corresponding position on the second electronic device and the hardware input device of the second electronic device. In some embodiments, the hardware input device is integrated with the housing of the second electronic device. In some embodiments, the hardware input device has a housing separate from the housing of the second electronic device and communicates with the second electronic device.

[0263] In some embodiments, while displaying a representation of the hardware input device simultaneously with the image, the first electronic device receives a second input directed to the representation of the hardware input device via one or more input devices, such as Figure 6M The scroll input 603m shown pointing to the representation 643' of the physical button or as shown Figure 6T The selection input 603s shown pointing to the representation 643' of the physical button. For example, the first electronic device detects the interactive input pointing to the representation of the hardware input device displayed on the first electronic device. In some embodiments, the first electronic device detects the selection input and / or movement input pointing to the representation of the hardware input device, as described below.

[0264] In some embodiments, in response to receiving the second input, based on determining that the second input corresponds to the first interaction with the hardware input device, the first electronic device transmits one or more first instructions to the second electronic device, and the one or more first instructions cause the second electronic device to perform a third operation associated with the first interaction with the hardware input device, such as scrolling through Figure 6NUser interface 631 displayed on the second device 500b shown. For example, if the first electronic device determines that the second input corresponds to a first interaction with a hardware input device, such as a selection input (e.g., touch or tap) on a representation of the hardware input device corresponding to a button press of the hardware input device, the first electronic device transmits data for performing an operation associated with the button press to the second electronic device. In some embodiments, if the first electronic device determines that the second input includes a tap and hold on the representation of the hardware input device (e.g., for a threshold amount of time, such as 0.5 seconds, 1 second, 1.5 seconds, 2 seconds, 2.5 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds, or 5 seconds), the first electronic device transmits data for performing an operation associated with the tap and hold to the second electronic device. In some embodiments, the one or more first instructions cause the second electronic device to update the image displayed on the second electronic device in a manner similar to the case where the second electronic device itself has received the second input corresponding to the first interaction with the hardware input device. In some embodiments, if the image displayed on the second electronic device includes a user interface of a corresponding application operating on the second electronic device, the third operation includes navigating away from the user interface (e.g., and redisplaying a home screen user interface, such as a watch user interface). In some embodiments, as similarly described above, when the second electronic device performs the third operation, the second electronic device transmits back to the first electronic device data (e.g., instructions) that causes the first electronic device to update the display of the image according to the third operation. The corresponding operation involving the image displayed at the first electronic device associated with the hardware input device is performed based on data corresponding to the interaction with the representation of the hardware input device of the first electronic device transmitted from the second electronic device communicating with the first electronic device, thereby facilitating user input for performing the corresponding operation involving the image displayed at the second electronic device, and / or reducing the number of inputs required for the execution, thereby improving user-device interaction.

[0265] In some embodiments, in response to receiving the second input, based on determining that the second input corresponds to a second interaction with the hardware input device, the first electronic device transmits one or more second instructions to the second electronic device, the one or more second instructions causing the second electronic device to perform a fourth operation different from the third operation associated with the second interaction with the hardware input device, such as Figure 6UThe redisplay of the watch screen user interface 608 on the second device 500b shown. For example, if the first electronic device determines that the second input corresponds to a second interaction with the hardware input device, such as a scrolling / swiping input on the representation of the hardware input device corresponding to the twisting / rotation / rolling / movement of the hardware input device, the first electronic device transmits data for performing the operation associated with the twisting / rotation / rolling / movement to the second electronic device. In some embodiments, if the image displayed on the second electronic device includes the user interface of the corresponding application operated on the second electronic device, the third operation includes scrolling in the user interface (e.g., and displaying an additional portion of the user interface according to the magnitude and direction of the scrolling). In some embodiments, as similarly described above, when the second electronic device performs the third operation, the second electronic device transmits back to the first electronic device data (e.g., instructions) that enables the first electronic device to update the display of the image according to the third operation. Based on the data corresponding to the interaction with the representation of the hardware input device of the first electronic device transmitted from the second electronic device communicating with the first electronic device to perform the corresponding operation of the image displayed at the first electronic device, the user input for performing the corresponding operation involving the image displayed at the second electronic device is facilitated, and / or the number of inputs required for the execution is reduced, thereby improving the user-device interaction.

[0266] In some embodiments, when not operating in a remote interaction mode with a second electronic device, the first electronic device detects, via one or more input devices, a corresponding input corresponding to a request to initiate a remote interaction mode with the second electronic device, such as Figure 6J A selection input 603j is shown pointing to a selectable option 629. For example, before the first electronic device is in a remote interaction mode with a second electronic device, the first electronic device detects an input for initializing a remote interaction mode with the second electronic device (e.g., actively communicating with the second electronic device). As described in more detail below, the corresponding input includes interaction with one or more controls of the first electronic device and / or user interface elements displayed on the first electronic device.

[0267] In some embodiments, in response to detecting the corresponding input, the first electronic device transmits an indication of initializing a remote interaction mode with the second electronic device to the second electronic device, wherein the indication causes the second electronic device to display a first user interface object corresponding to the indication, such as Figure 6JThe display of the user interface object 613 on the second device 500b shown. For example, when the first electronic device initializes the remote interaction mode with the second electronic device, the first electronic device transmits the indication to the second electronic device. In some embodiments, in response to receiving the indication, the second electronic device displays a user interface object indicating that the remote interaction mode has been initialized. For example, the user interface object is an indication of a notification of the initialization of the remote interaction mode. In some embodiments, the user interface object includes information and / or a visual indicator indicating (e.g., conveying) that the remote interaction mode has been initialized. In some embodiments, during the duration of the remote interaction mode, the user interface object is not displayed on the second electronic device (e.g., after a predefined time period (such as 0.75 seconds, 1 second, 1.5 seconds, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds, 5 seconds, 8 seconds, or 10 seconds), the second electronic device stops the display of the user interface object). Displaying the user interface object indicating that the remote interaction mode has been initialized between the first electronic device and the second electronic device facilitates the discovery that the initialization of the interaction mode is successful, and / or facilitates the user input for interacting with the content when in the remote interaction mode, thereby improving the user-device interaction.

[0268] In some embodiments, when the first electronic device is operating in a remote interaction mode with a second electronic device, the second electronic device displays a second visual indication indicating that the first electronic device is in a remote interaction mode with the second electronic device, such as Figure 6KDisplay of visual indication 647 on the second device 500b shown. For example, when the first electronic device transmits an indication of initialization of a remote interaction mode with a second electronic device, the first electronic device transmits an instruction that causes the second electronic device to also display a visual indication. In some embodiments, when in remote interaction mode, the second electronic device displays a second visual indication along the border of the display of the second electronic device. For example, the second electronic device displays a band with corresponding characteristics (e.g., color, thickness, opacity and / or brightness) along the edge of the display of the second electronic device (e.g., around an image displayed on the second electronic device), which indicates that the first electronic device is currently in remote interaction mode with the second electronic device. In some embodiments, even when the image is updated on the second electronic device in response to user input received at the first electronic device, the second visual indication remains displayed on the second electronic device. In some embodiments, when the visual indication is displayed, the second electronic device stops the display of the first user interface object. For example, after a predetermined time threshold (e.g., 0.75 seconds, 1 second, 1.5 seconds, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds, 5 seconds, 8 seconds, or 10 seconds) has passed, the first electronic device transmits to the second electronic device an instruction (e.g., a notification indicating that the remote interaction mode has been initialized) that causes the second electronic device to stop displaying the first user interface object. In some embodiments, the second user interface object is displayed for the duration that the first electronic device is in the remote interaction mode with the second electronic device. In some embodiments, based on determining that the first electronic device is no longer in the remote interaction mode with the second electronic device (e.g., due to user input corresponding to a request to exit the remote interaction mode), the second electronic device stops displaying the second user interface object. Displaying a visual indication indicating that the first electronic device is in the remote interaction mode with the second electronic device facilitates discovery that the remote interaction mode is active, and / or facilitates user input for interacting with content while in the remote interaction mode, thereby improving user-device interaction.

[0269] In some embodiments, the image includes a user interface area (e.g., a text entry area within a user interface associated with a corresponding application (such as a messaging application, a web browsing application, and / or a text writing application) operating on the second electronic device), such as Figure 6Q In some embodiments, while displaying the image, the first electronic device receives a second input corresponding to a request to enter text into the user interface area via one or more input devices, such as Figure 6PA selection input 603p is shown pointing to a representation 633-2' of a selectable option on the first device 500a. For example, the first electronic device detects a selection input pointing to a user interface area. In some embodiments, the first electronic device detects a selection of an input option (e.g., associated with and / or displayed adjacent to a user interface area) for initiating a process of entering text into a user interface area.

[0270] In some embodiments, in response to receiving the second input, the first electronic device displays, via the display generation component, a keyboard (e.g., displayed by the second electronic device) for entering text into the user interface area (e.g., Figure 6R For example, the keyboard is associated with a corresponding application that provides display of the user interface area, an operating system of the first electronic device, and / or an operating system of the second electronic device.

[0271] In some embodiments, the first electronic device transmits one or more first instructions to the second electronic device, and the one or more first instructions cause the second electronic device to display a keyboard for entering text into the user interface area (e.g., Figure 6R In some embodiments, the keyboard displayed on the first electronic device corresponds to the keyboard displayed on the second electronic device. For example, the keyboards have the same appearance (e.g., the same arrangement of keys on the keyboard, the same color, the same size, the same ratio, the same color, and / or the same selectable options (e.g., for inserting images and / or files into the user interface area)). In some embodiments, the keyboard displayed on the first electronic device does not correspond to the keyboard on the second electronic device. For example, the keyboard displayed on the first electronic device is associated with the operating system of the first electronic device and therefore has a different appearance from the keyboard displayed on the second electronic device that is associated with the operating system of the second electronic device. In some embodiments, the keyboard is displayed on the first electronic device and the second electronic device at the same time.

[0272] In some embodiments, when the keyboard is displayed, the first electronic device receives a selection of one or more keys of the keyboard via one or more input devices, such as Figure 6Q For example, the first electronic device detects a selection input (eg, a series of taps or touches) directed to one or more keys on a keyboard displayed by the first electronic device.

[0273] In some embodiments, in response to receiving a selection of one or more keys, the first electronic device transmits one or more second instructions corresponding to the selection of the one or more keys to the second electronic device, and the one or more second instructions cause the second electronic device to display the selected one or more characters (e.g., selected letters, numbers, punctuation marks, spaces, and / or special characters) in the user interface area, such as Figure 6S Display of character 611-1 on the second device 500b shown. For example, one or more characters corresponding to one or more selected keys are simultaneously displayed in a user interface area displayed on the first electronic device and the second electronic device. In some embodiments, if the keyboards displayed on the first electronic device and the second electronic device are different, as discussed above, the one or more characters displayed in the user interface area on the first electronic device and the second electronic device remain the same. Displaying characters on the first electronic device and the second electronic device in response to user input on a keyboard displayed on the first electronic device when the first electronic device communicates with the second electronic device facilitates user input for providing characters on the second electronic device in response to the keyboard of the first electronic device, and / or facilitates the discovery that characters can be provided on the second electronic device using the keyboard of the first electronic device, thereby improving user-device interaction.

[0274] In some embodiments, when in a remote interaction mode with a second electronic device and operating in a corresponding control mode (e.g., a control / accessibility mode for assisting a user in effectively using a first electronic device), as described in reference Figure 6AA The first electronic device receives a second input corresponding to a selection of a user interface element of the image using a corresponding control mode via one or more input devices, such as Figure 6BB603-2 in the input. For example, as discussed similarly above, the image displayed on the first electronic device includes a selectable option for causing an operation involving the image to be performed. In some embodiments, when in a corresponding control mode, the electronic device detects an interactive input that selects a user interface element. In some embodiments, the accessibility / control mode is a mode in which the electronic device presents an audio description of a user interface element (e.g., a user interface element selected by or corresponding to the user input) in response to a user input. In some embodiments, when the accessibility mode is active, in response to a secondary selection input of a user interface element, the electronic device presents verbal audio describing the user interface element without selecting the user interface element. For example, as discussed below, the electronic device detects a predefined gesture or detects a second input via an external input device that communicates with the first electronic device. For example, in response to a three-touch tap on a user interface element displayed on a touch screen, the electronic device presents an audio description of the user interface element without selecting the user interface element, and in response to a single-touch tap on a user interface element displayed on the touch screen, the electronic device selects the user interface element.

[0275] In some embodiments, in response to receiving the second input, the first electronic device performs a third operation corresponding to the selection of the user interface element using the corresponding control mode, such as Figure 6BB Selection of user interface object 628 on second device 500b is shown. For example, the first electronic device updates the display of the image according to a third operation (e.g., such as one of the above operations (including displaying additional selectable options, displaying a new user interface, and / or displaying an additional portion of the user interface)). Performing a corresponding operation involving the image displayed at the first electronic device based on data corresponding to the image transmitted from a second electronic device in communication with the first electronic device when the first electronic device is in the auxiliary control mode facilitates user input for performing a corresponding operation involving the image displayed at the second electronic device using the auxiliary control mode of the first electronic device, and / or reduces the number of inputs required for the execution, thereby improving user-device interaction.

[0276] In some embodiments, the corresponding control mode corresponds to an audio output mode (e.g., a voice over assistive mode). In some embodiments, the second input corresponds to a secondary selection of a user interface element using the corresponding control mode, such as Figure 6BB 659 on the first device 500a shown. For example, the secondary selection corresponds to a request to output audio corresponding to the user interface element (e.g., to provide information about the user interface element), rather than a selection of the user interface element. In some embodiments, performing the third operation includes presenting audio output corresponding to the user interface element (e.g., Figure 6CC The first electronic device outputs audio that provides information about (e.g., identifies) a user interface element without selecting the user interface element (which causes the fourth operation to be performed).

[0277] In some embodiments, the first electronic device receives a primary selection of a user interface element (such as Figure 6BB The third input includes a third input corresponding to the selection 603-2 in the first electronic device. For example, after the first electronic device outputs audio corresponding to the user interface element, the first electronic device receives a selection of the user interface element. In some embodiments, the third input is different from the second input. For example, the second input includes a first type of gesture (e.g., a triple tap detected on a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch screen) of the first electronic device), and the third input includes a second type of gesture different from the first type of gesture (e.g., a double tap or a single tap).

[0278] In some embodiments, in response to receiving the third input, the first electronic device transmits one or more instructions to the second electronic device, and the one or more instructions cause the second device to perform a fourth operation, such as Figure 6CC Display of the user interface 660 on the second device 500b shown. For example, the second electronic device updates the display of the image according to a fourth operation (e.g., such as one of the above-mentioned operations (including displaying additional selectable options, displaying a new user interface, and / or displaying an additional portion of the user interface)). Performing corresponding operations involving the image displayed at the first electronic device based on data corresponding to the image transmitted from a second electronic device that communicates with the first electronic device when the first electronic device is in audio auxiliary control mode facilitates user input for performing corresponding operations involving the image displayed at the second electronic device using the audio auxiliary control mode of the first electronic device, and / or reduces the number of inputs required for the execution, thereby improving user-device interaction.

[0279] In some embodiments, the one or more input devices include a switch input device (e.g., an external input device, such as a switch device or controller device that communicates with the first electronic device when the first electronic device is operating in a switch control auxiliary mode; or an integrated input device, such as a touch screen of the first electronic device), such as Figure 6AA. In some embodiments, the second input is associated with a switch input device (e.g., the second input is detected via one or more hardware buttons and / or switches of the switch input device, or is detected at a specific location on the touch screen of the first electronic device), such as detection of a selection input 603-2 on the touch-sensitive surface of the input device 560. In some embodiments, using an accessibility mode, the first electronic device visually emphasizes (e.g., highlights) user interface elements displayed in an image (e.g., a user interface) in chronological order. When the corresponding user interface element is visually emphasized, the switch input device is used to select the user interface element. In some embodiments, the first electronic device displays a menu element that includes one or more selectable options for performing one or more corresponding operations involving a previously selected user interface element. For example, the first electronic device visually emphasizes one or more selectable options in chronological order, and the one or more selectable options can be selected using the switch input device to cause the second electronic device to perform a selection of the user interface element.

[0280] In some embodiments, performing a third operation corresponding to the selection of a user interface element using a corresponding control mode includes: transmitting one or more instructions to a second electronic device, the one or more instructions causing the second device to perform a fourth operation corresponding to the selection of the user interface element, such as Figure 6CC The display of the user interface 660 on the second device 500b shown. For example, the second electronic device updates the display of the image according to a fourth operation (e.g., one of the above operations (including displaying additional selectable options, displaying a new user interface, and / or displaying an additional portion of the user interface)) in response to receiving the second input using the switch input device. In some embodiments, if the first electronic device receives a selection input (e.g., similar to or identical to the above first input) pointing to a user interface element displayed on the first electronic device that is not using a corresponding control mode (e.g., a tap), the second electronic device will perform the fourth operation. In some embodiments, if the second electronic device receives a selection input pointing to a user interface element displayed on the second electronic device using an input device of the second electronic device (e.g., a touch screen of the second electronic device), the second electronic device will perform the fourth operation. When the first electronic device is in a switch control auxiliary mode, the corresponding operation involving the image displayed at the first electronic device is performed based on data corresponding to the image transmitted from a second electronic device communicating with the first electronic device, which facilitates user input for performing the corresponding operation involving the image displayed at the second electronic device using the switch control auxiliary mode of the first electronic device, and / or reduces the number of inputs required for the execution, thereby improving user-device interaction.

[0281] In some embodiments, the one or more input devices include a hardware input device (e.g., an external keyboard, a touchpad, and / or a mouse) that communicates with the first electronic device (such as paired with the first electronic device via Bluetooth). In some embodiments, the hardware input device is paired and / or communicates directly with the first electronic device, but not directly paired and / or communicates with the second electronic device, such as Figure 6AA The input device 560 in the image is detected via a hardware input device, such as Figure 6BB , and selecting input 603-2 in the display. For example, the input includes interaction with a key or button of a hardware input device (e.g., selection and / or movement of the key or button). Therefore, when input directed to an image is received via a hardware input device that communicates with a first electronic device, the first electronic device transmits to a second electronic device an instruction that causes the second electronic device to perform a corresponding operation involving the image. In response to input received via a hardware input device, a corresponding operation involving the image is performed based on data corresponding to the image displayed at the first electronic device transmitted from a second electronic device that communicates with the first electronic device, thereby facilitating user input for performing a corresponding operation involving an image displayed at the second electronic device, and / or enabling the execution to be performed using a hardware input device, thereby improving user-device interaction.

[0282] In some embodiments, when not operating in a remote interaction mode with a second electronic device (for example, before the first electronic device is in a remote interaction mode with the second electronic device), the first electronic device detects, via one or more input devices, a corresponding input corresponding to a request to initiate a remote interaction mode with the second electronic device, such as Fig.6DThe selection input 603d pointing to the selectable option 624-1 is shown. For example, a remote interaction mode is initiated from the first electronic device (for example, and optionally, not from the second electronic device). In some embodiments, the corresponding input includes a series of inputs that navigate through one or more setting user interfaces of the first electronic device, through which the first electronic device communicates with the second electronic device (for example, in response to a selection of a pairing option displayed on one of the setting user interfaces). In some embodiments, the corresponding input includes interaction with a shortcut user interface (for example, a control user interface) of the first electronic device. For example, the first electronic device receives a selection of a selectable option displayed in the shortcut user interface, which corresponds to a request to initiate a remote interaction mode. In some embodiments, the corresponding input includes an input sequence of a hardware input device (for example, a button or switch) pointing to the first electronic device. For example, the first electronic device receives a predetermined input sequence (for example, multiple selections (for example, three presses)) pointing to a first button (for example, a power button) of the first electronic device, which corresponds to a request to initiate a remote interaction mode with a second electronic device. In some embodiments, in response to detecting a different input directed to the first button (such as a single press of the first button), the electronic device switches a sleep / wake state of a display generating component that communicates with the first electronic device.

[0283] In some embodiments, in response to detecting the corresponding input, the first electronic device initiates a remote interaction mode with the second electronic device, such as by Fig. 6E 619 is represented by the display of the user interface 619 shown. In some embodiments, the first electronic device displays a user interface that provides information about the initiation of the remote interaction mode (e.g., a confirmation user interface indicating that the first electronic device is communicating with the second electronic device). In some embodiments, the first electronic device displays an option that can be selected to initiate a remote interaction mode with the second electronic device, and the remote interaction mode with the second electronic device causes the image displayed at the second electronic device to also be displayed at the first electronic device. In some embodiments, the second electronic device does not receive input corresponding to a request to initiate a remote interaction mode with the first electronic device. Initiating a remote interaction mode between the first electronic device and the second electronic device in response to an input received at the first electronic device avoids unintentional and / or unwanted initiation of a remote interaction mode between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, and / or reduces the number of inputs required to initialize the remote interaction mode, thereby improving user-device interaction.

[0284] It should be understood that Figure 7The specific order in which the operations are described is merely exemplary and is not intended to indicate that the described order is the only order in which the operations can be performed. A person of ordinary skill in the art would think of many ways to reorder the operations described herein.

[0285] The operations in the above information processing method are optionally implemented by running one or more functional modules in an information processing device, such as a general-purpose processor (e.g., Figure 1A to Figure 1B , Figure 3 , FIG. 5A to FIG. 5H In addition, the above reference Figure 7 The operation is optionally performed by Figure 1A to Figure 1B . For example, receiving operation 704 is optionally implemented by event classifier 170, event identifier 180, and event handler 190. Event monitor 171 in event classifier 170 detects contact on touch screen 504, and event distributor module 174 delivers event information to application 136-1. The corresponding event identifier 180 of application 136-1 compares the event information with the corresponding event definition 186, and determines whether the first contact at the first position on the touch screen corresponds to a predefined event or sub-event, such as the selection of an object on the user interface. When the corresponding predefined event or sub-event is detected, event identifier 180 activates the event handler 190 associated with the detection of the event or sub-event. Event handler 190 optionally utilizes or calls data updater 176 or object updater 177 to update the application internal state 192. In some embodiments, event handler 190 accesses the corresponding GUI updater 178 to update the content displayed by the application. Similarly, a person skilled in the art will clearly know how to Figure 1A to Figure 1B The components depicted in the implementation of other processes.

[0286] As described above, one aspect of the present technology is to collect and use data available from specific and legitimate sources to present content relevant to the user. The present disclosure contemplates that, in some instances, the collected data may include personal information data that uniquely identifies or can be used to identify a specific person. Such personal information data may include demographic data, location-based data, online identifiers, phone numbers, email addresses, home addresses, data or records related to the user's health or fitness level (e.g., vital sign measurements, medication information, exercise information), date of birth, or any other personal information.

[0287] The present disclosure recognizes that the use of such personal information data in the present technology can be used to benefit users. For example, determining the current location of an electronic device enables the electronic device to discover other electronic devices near it. Therefore, the use of such personal information data enables users to view information related to them. In addition, the present disclosure also anticipates other uses of personal information data that benefit users. For example, health and fitness data can be used according to the user's preferences to provide insights into their overall health status, or can be used as positive feedback to individuals who use technology to pursue health goals.

[0288] The present disclosure envisions that entities responsible for collecting, analyzing, disclosing, transmitting, storing or otherwise using such personal information data will comply with established privacy policies and / or privacy practices. Specifically, such entities will be expected to implement and consistently apply privacy practices that are generally recognized as meeting or exceeding the requirements of the industry or government that maintain user privacy. Such information about the use of personal data should be highlighted and easily accessible to users, and should be updated as the collection and / or use of data changes. The user's personal information should be collected only for legitimate use. In addition, such collection / sharing should only occur after receiving user consent or other legal basis specified in applicable law. In addition, such entities should consider taking any necessary steps to protect and safeguard access to such personal information data and ensure that other entities with access to personal information data comply with the privacy policies and procedures of other entities. In addition, such entities may subject themselves to third-party assessments to demonstrate their compliance with widely accepted privacy policies and privacy practices. In addition, policies and practices should be adjusted for specific types of personal information data collected and / or accessed, and applied to applicable laws and standards, including considerations that are exclusive to jurisdictions that can be used to impose higher standards. For example, in the United States, collection or access to certain health data may be governed by federal and / or state laws, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA); while health data in other countries may be subject to other regulations and policies and should be handled accordingly.

[0289] Notwithstanding the foregoing, the present disclosure also contemplates implementations in which users selectively block the use or access of personal information data. That is, the present disclosure contemplates that hardware elements and / or software elements may be provided to prevent or block access to such personal information data. For example, the present technology may be configured to allow a user to "opt in" or "opt out" of the collection of personal information data at any time during or after registration for the service. In another example, a user may choose not to enable location services that determine the location of an electronic device and / or the location of other electronic devices.

[0290] In addition, it is the intention of the present disclosure that personal information data should be managed and processed in a manner that minimizes the risk of unintentional or unauthorized access or use. Once the data is no longer needed, the risk can be minimized by limiting the collection of data and deleting the data. In addition, and when applicable, including in certain health-related applications, data de-identification can be used to protect the privacy of users. De-identification can be promoted when appropriate by removing identifiers, controlling the amount or specificity of stored data (e.g., collecting location data at the city level rather than at the address level), controlling how data is stored (e.g., aggregating data among users), and / or other methods such as differential privacy.

[0291] Thus, while the present disclosure broadly covers the use of personal information data to implement one or more of the various disclosed embodiments, the present disclosure also contemplates that various embodiments may be implemented without requiring access to such personal information data. That is, various embodiments of the present technology will not fail to function properly due to the lack of all or a portion of such personal information data. For example, content may be selected and delivered to a user based on aggregated non-personal information data or an absolute minimum amount of personal information, such as content processed only on the user's device or other non-personal information that may be used for content delivery services.

[0292] For the purpose of explanation, the foregoing description is described by reference to specific embodiments. However, the above exemplary discussion is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the disclosed precise form. According to the above teachings, many modifications and variations are possible. The embodiments are selected and described in order to best illustrate the principles of the present invention and its practical application, so that other technical personnel in the field can best use the present invention and the various described embodiments with various modifications suitable for the specific purpose contemplated.
