Technical Field

[0003] The present disclosure relates generally to computer user interfaces, and more particularly to techniques for using input mechanisms. Background Art

[0004] Devices often use a variety of input mechanisms to detect interactions by users. Such input mechanisms vary greatly in their functionality and usability. Summary of the invention

[0005] However, some techniques for using input mechanisms of electronic devices are often cumbersome and inefficient. For example, some prior art techniques use complex and time-consuming user interfaces that may include multiple actions performed by the user that do not lead to the desired result. Prior art techniques require more time than necessary, which results in wasted user time and device energy. This latter consideration is particularly important in battery-powered devices.

[0006] Therefore, the present technology provides a faster and more efficient method and interface for using input mechanisms for electronic devices. Such methods and interfaces optionally supplement or replace other methods for using input mechanisms. Such methods and interfaces reduce the cognitive burden imposed on users and produce a more efficient human-computer interface. For battery-powered computing devices, such methods and interfaces save power and increase the time interval between battery charges.

[0079] 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.

[0080] Electronic devices need to provide efficient methods and interfaces for using input mechanisms. Such techniques can reduce the cognitive burden on users using the input mechanisms, thereby increasing productivity. In addition, such techniques can reduce processor power and battery power that would otherwise be wasted on redundant user input.

[0081] under, Figure 1A to Figure 1B , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , FIG. 4A to FIG. 4B and FIG. 5A to FIG. 5H A description of an example device for performing techniques using an input mechanism is provided. FIG. 6A to FIG. 6G An exemplary user interface for using an input mechanism is illustrated. Figure 7 is a flow chart illustrating a method for changing movement characteristics of an input mechanism according to some embodiments. Figure 8 is a flow chart illustrating a method for changing the tactile sensation of an input mechanism according to some embodiments. Fig. 9 is a flow chart illustrating a method for changing an input to which an input mechanism is responsive, according to some embodiments. FIG. 6A to FIG. 6G The user interface in is used to illustrate the process described below, including Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 process. FIG. 10A to FIG. 10D An exemplary user interface for using an input mechanism is illustrated. Fig.11 is a flow chart illustrating a method for changing a locked position of an input mechanism according to some embodiments. Fig.12is a flow chart illustrating a method for implementing a rubber band with an input mechanism using a computer system according to some embodiments. Fig.13 is a flow chart illustrating a method for using a computer system to output tactile sensations with an input mechanism according to some embodiments. FIG. 6A to FIG. 6G and FIG. 10A to FIG. 10D The user interface in is used to illustrate the process described below, including Fig.11 , Fig.12 and Fig.13 process. FIG. 14A to FIG. 14D An exemplary user interface for using an input mechanism is illustrated. Fig.15 is a flow chart illustrating a method for using a computer system for a physical input mechanism according to some embodiments. Fig.16 is a flow chart illustrating a method for using a computer system for a rotatable input mechanism according to some embodiments. FIG. 6A to FIG. 6G and FIG. 14A to FIG. 14D The user interface in is used to illustrate the process described below, including Fig.15 and Fig.16 process.

[0082] The processes described below enhance the operability of the device and make the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user provide appropriate input and reducing user errors when operating / interacting with the device) through various techniques, including by providing improved visual feedback to the user, reducing the number of inputs required to perform an operation, providing additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls, performing an operation without further user input when a set of conditions have been met, and / or additional techniques. These techniques also reduce power usage and extend the battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and more efficiently.

[0083] 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 requires performing the first step (if the condition is met), and performing the second step (if the condition is not met), then the skilled person 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 a 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 those of ordinary skill in the art that, similar to the method with the contingent steps, 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.

[0084] Although the following description uses the terms "first", "second", etc. to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by the terms. In some embodiments, these terms are used to distinguish one element from another 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. In some embodiments, the first touch and the second touch are two separate references to the same touch. In some embodiments, both the first touch and the second touch are touches, but they are not the same touch.

[0085] The terms used in the description of various described embodiments herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to be limiting. As used in the description of various described embodiments and in the appended claims, the singular forms "one" and "the" are intended to also include plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will also be understood that the term "and / or" used herein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more items in the associated listed items. It will also be understood that the terms "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.

[0086] 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.

[0087] 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. of Cupertino, California. Devices, iPod Equipment and Device. Optionally use other portable electronic devices, 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). In some embodiments, the electronic device is a computer system that communicates with the display generation component (e.g., via wireless communication, via wired communication). The display generation component is configured to provide visual output, such as display via a CRT display, display via an LED display, or display via image projection. In some embodiments, the display generation component is integrated with the computer system. In some embodiments, the display generation component is separated from the computer system. As used herein, "display" content includes sending data (e.g., image data or video data) to an integrated or external display generation component via a wired or wireless connection to visually generate content to display content (e.g., video data rendered or decoded by display controller 156).

[0088] 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.

[0089] 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.

[0090] 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.

[0091] Attention is now turned to embodiments of portable devices having touch-sensitive displays. Figure 1A 1 is a block diagram illustrating a portable multifunction device 100 with a touch-sensitive display system 112 according to some embodiments. The touch-sensitive display 112 is sometimes referred to as a "touch screen" for convenience, and is sometimes referred to as or referred to as a "touch-sensitive display system." The device 100 includes a memory 102 (which optionally includes one or more computer-readable storage media), a memory controller 122, one or more processing units (CPUs) 120, a peripheral device interface 118, an RF circuit 108, an audio circuit 110, a speaker 111, a microphone 113, an input / output (I / O) subsystem 106, other input control devices 116, and an external port 124. The device 100 optionally includes one or more optical sensors 164. The device 100 optionally includes one or more contact force sensors 165 for detecting the intensity of contact on the device 100 (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface, such as the touch-sensitive display system 112 of the device 100). Device 100 optionally includes one or more tactile output generators 167 for generating tactile output on device 100 (e.g., generating tactile output on a touch-sensitive surface such as touch-sensitive display system 112 of device 100 or touch pad 355 of device 300). These components optionally communicate via one or more communication buses or signal lines 103.

[0092] 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).

[0093] 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.

[0094] 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.

[0095] The memory 102 optionally includes high-speed random access memory, and optionally also includes non-volatile memory, such as one or more disk storage devices, flash memory devices or other non-volatile solid-state memory devices. The memory controller 122 optionally controls the access rights of other components of the device 100 to the memory 102.

[0096] 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 (such as computer programs (e.g., including instructions)) and / or instruction sets stored in the memory 102 to perform various functions of the device 100 and process data. In some embodiments, the peripheral 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.

[0097] RF (radio frequency) circuit 108 receives and sends RF signals, also referred to as electromagnetic signals. RF circuit 108 converts electrical signals into / converts electromagnetic signals into electrical signals, and communicates with communication networks and other communication devices via electromagnetic signals. RF circuit 108 optionally includes well-known circuits for performing these functions, including but not limited to antenna systems, RF transceivers, one or more amplifiers, tuners, one or more oscillators, digital signal processors, codec chipsets, user identity modules (SIM) cards, memories, and the like.

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.

[0103] 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.

[0106] 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, 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.

[0107] In some embodiments, in addition to the touch screen, the device 100 optionally includes a touchpad 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 separate from the touch screen 112, or an extension of the touch-sensitive surface formed by the touch screen.

[0108] 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.

[0109] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more optical sensors 164 . Figure 1AAn optical sensor coupled to an optical sensor controller 158 in the I / O subsystem 106 is shown. The optical sensor 164 optionally includes a charge coupled device (CCD) or a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistor. The optical sensor 164 receives light projected through one or more lenses from the environment and converts the light into data representing an image. In conjunction with the imaging module 143 (also called a camera module), the optical sensor 164 optionally captures a static image or video. In some embodiments, the optical sensor is located on the rear of the device 100, opposite to the touch screen display 112 on the front of the device, so that the touch screen display can be used as a viewfinder for static images and / or video image acquisition. In some embodiments, the optical sensor is located on the front of the device so that when the user views other video conference participants on the touch screen display, the image of the user is optionally obtained for video conferencing. In some embodiments, the positioning of the optical sensor 164 can be changed by the user (e.g., by rotating the lens and sensor in the device housing) so that a single optical sensor 164 is used with the touch screen display for both video conferencing and static image and / or video image acquisition.

[0110] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more depth camera sensors 175 . Figure 1A A depth camera sensor coupled to a depth camera controller 169 in the I / O subsystem 106 is shown. The depth camera sensor 175 receives data from the environment to create a three-dimensional model of an object (e.g., a face) within the scene from a viewpoint (e.g., a depth camera sensor). In some embodiments, in conjunction with the imaging module 143 (also referred to as a camera module), the depth camera sensor 175 is optionally used to determine a depth map of different portions of an image captured by the imaging module 143. In some embodiments, the depth camera sensor is located at the front of the device 100, so that an image of the user with depth information is optionally obtained for video conferencing while the user is viewing other video conference participants on the touch screen display, and a selfie with depth map data is captured. In some embodiments, the depth camera sensor 175 is located at the rear of the device, or at both the rear and front of the device 100. In some embodiments, the positioning of the depth camera sensor 175 can be changed by the user (e.g., by rotating the lens and sensor in the device housing) so that the depth camera sensor 175 is used with the touch screen display for both video conferencing and still image and / or video image acquisition.

[0111] In some embodiments, a depth map (e.g., a depth map image) contains information (e.g., values) related to the distance of an object in a scene from a viewpoint (e.g., a camera, an optical sensor, a depth camera sensor). In one embodiment of a depth map, each depth pixel defines the position of its corresponding two-dimensional pixel in the Z axis of the viewpoint. In some embodiments, a depth map is composed of pixels, each of which is defined by a value (e.g., 0 to 255). For example, a "0" value represents a pixel located farthest from a viewpoint (e.g., a camera, an optical sensor, a depth camera sensor) in a "three-dimensional" scene, and a "255" value represents a pixel located closest to the viewpoint in a "three-dimensional" scene. In other embodiments, a depth map represents the distance between an object in a scene and the plane of the viewpoint. In some embodiments, a depth map includes information about the relative depths of various features of an object of interest in the field of view of a depth camera (e.g., the relative depths of the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears of a user's face). In some embodiments, a depth map includes information that enables a device to determine the contour of an object of interest in the z direction.

[0112] 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.

[0113] 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 optionally implements 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.

[0114] 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.

[0115] 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 performed 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 and a GPS (or GLONASS or other global navigation system) receiver in addition to the accelerometer 168 for obtaining information about the position and orientation (e.g., portrait or landscape) of the device 100.

[0116] 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.

[0117] 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.

[0118] 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.

[0119] 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.

[0120] 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 threshold of a particular physical actuator 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).

[0121] 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.

[0122] 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.

[0123] In some embodiments, the graphics module 132 stores data representing graphics to be used. Each graphic is optionally assigned a corresponding code. The graphics module 132 receives one or more codes for specifying the graphics to be displayed from an application or the like, along with coordinate data and other graphics attribute data if necessary, and then generates screen image data to be output to the display controller 156.

[0124] 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, instant messaging module 141 is used instead of email client module 140 to send a link to a specific online video. Additional description of online video applications can be found in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 936,562, filed on June 20, 2007, entitled “Portable Multifunction Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Playing Online Videos,” and U.S. Patent Application No. 11 / 968,067, filed on December 31, 2007, entitled “Portable Multifunction Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Playing Online Videos,” the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.

[0165] 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 (such as computer programs (e.g., including instructions)), 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.

[0166] In some embodiments, the device 100 is a device on which a predefined set of functions on the device are operated 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.

[0167] A predefined set of functions 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 from any user interface displayed on the device 100 to a main menu, a main desktop menu, or a root menu. 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.

[0168] 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).

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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).

[0173] In some embodiments, the event classifier 170 also includes a hit view determination module 172 and / or an active event identifier determination module 173.

[0174] 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.

[0175] 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.

[0176] 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.

[0177] 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.

[0178] 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.

[0179] 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.

[0180] 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 identifiers 180 are part of an independent module, which is a higher-level object such as a user interface toolkit 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.

[0181] The corresponding event identifier 180 receives event information (e.g., event data 179) from the event classifier 170 and identifies the event based on the event information. The event identifier 180 includes an event receiver 182 and an event comparator 184. In some embodiments, the event identifier 180 also includes metadata 183 and at least a subset of event delivery instructions 188 (which optionally includes sub-event delivery instructions).

[0182] 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 (e.g., 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).

[0183] 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 sub-event sequence), such as event 1 (187-1), event 2 (187-2), and others. In some embodiments, sub-events in events (e.g., 187-1 and / or 187-2) 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.

[0184] In some embodiments, event definition 186 includes a definition of an event for a corresponding user interface object. 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.

[0185] 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.

[0186] 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.

[0187] In some embodiments, the corresponding event identifier 180 includes metadata 183 with configurable properties, flags, and / or lists that indicate how the event delivery system should conduct sub-event delivery to actively participating event identifiers. In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and / or lists that indicate how event identifiers 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.

[0188] In some embodiments, when one or more specific sub-events of an event are identified, the corresponding event recognizer 180 activates an event handler 190 associated with the event. In some embodiments, the corresponding event recognizer 180 delivers event information associated with the event to the event handler 190. Activating the event handler 190 is different from sending (and deferred sending) the sub-events to the corresponding hit view. In some embodiments, the event recognizer 180 throws a flag associated with the identified event, and the event handler 190 associated with the flag obtains the flag and performs a predefined process.

[0189] In some embodiments, event delivery instructions 188 include sub-event delivery instructions that deliver event information about a sub-event without activating an event handler. Instead, the sub-event delivery instructions deliver the event information to an event handler associated with 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 performs a predetermined process.

[0190] 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.

[0191] 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.

[0192] It should be understood that the above discussion of event processing of user touches on a touch-sensitive display also applies to other forms of user input that utilize input devices to operate the multifunction device 100, and not all user input is initiated on the touch screen. For example, mouse movement and mouse button presses, optionally in conjunction with single or multiple keyboard presses or holddowns; contact movement on a touch pad, such as tapping, dragging, scrolling, etc.; stylus input; movement of the device; verbal commands; detected eye movement; biometric input; and / or any combination thereof are optionally used as input corresponding to sub-events that define the event to be distinguished.

[0193] 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.

[0194] 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.

[0195] 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.

[0196] 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.

[0197] 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 computer programs (for example, instruction sets or including instructions) do not have to be realized with separate software programs (such as computer programs (for example, including instructions)), 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.

[0198] Attention is now turned to an embodiment of a user interface that is optionally implemented on, for example, portable multifunction device 100.

[0222] 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.

[0223] Figure 4B The example embodiment has a touch-sensitive surface 451 (eg, touch screen display 112) that is separate from a display 450 (eg, touch screen display 112). Figure 3 a tablet device or a touch pad 355) (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.

[0224] 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.

[0225] Additionally, although the following examples are primarily given with reference to finger inputs (e.g., finger contacts, single-finger tap gestures, finger swipe gestures), it should be understood that in some embodiments, one or more of these finger inputs are replaced by input from another input device (e.g., mouse-based input or stylus input). For example, a swipe gesture is optionally replaced by a mouse click (e.g., instead of contact), followed by movement of the cursor along the path of the swipe (e.g., instead of movement of the contact). As another example, a tap gesture is optionally replaced by a mouse click when the cursor is over the location of the tap gesture (e.g., instead of detecting contact, followed by ceasing to detect contact). Similarly, when multiple user inputs are detected simultaneously, it should be understood that multiple computer mice are optionally used simultaneously, or mice and finger contacts are optionally used simultaneously.

[0226] Figure 5AAn exemplary personal electronic device 500 is illustrated. Device 500 includes a body 502. In some embodiments, device 500 may include a body 502 relative to devices 100 and 300 (e.g., Figures 1A to 4B ) some or all of the features described in the foregoing. In some embodiments, device 500 has a touch-sensitive display screen 504, referred to hereinafter as touch screen 504. Alternatively, or in addition to touch screen 504, device 500 also has a display and a touch-sensitive surface. As with devices 100 and 300, in some embodiments, touch screen 504 (or touch-sensitive surface) optionally includes one or more intensity sensors for detecting the intensity of contact (e.g., touch) applied. One or more intensity sensors of touch screen 504 (or touch-sensitive surface) can provide output data representing the intensity of touch. The user interface of device 500 can respond to touch based on the intensity of the touch, which means that touches of different intensities can invoke different user interface operations on device 500.

[0227] Exemplary techniques for detecting and processing touch intensity are found, for example, in the following related applications: International patent application serial number PCT / US2013 / 040061, entitled “Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Displaying UserInterface Objects Corresponding to an Application,” filed on May 8, 2013, published as WIPO publication number WO / 2013 / 169849; and International patent application serial number PCT / US2013 / 069483, entitled “Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Transitioning Between TouchInput to Display Output Relationships,” filed on November 11, 2013, published as WIPO publication number WO / 2014 / 105276, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

[0228] 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.

[0229] Figure 5B An exemplary personal electronic device 500 is depicted. In some embodiments, the device 500 may include a Figure 1A , Figure 1B and Figure 3 Some or all of the components described. Device 500 has a bus 512 that operatively couples an I / O portion 514 to one or more computer processors 516 and a memory 518. I / O portion 514 may be connected to a display 504, which may have a touch-sensitive component 522 and optionally have an intensity sensor 524 (e.g., a contact intensity sensor). In addition, I / O portion 514 may be connected to a communication unit 530 for receiving application and operating system data using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, near field communication (NFC), cellular and / or other wireless communication technologies. Device 500 may include input mechanisms 506 and / or 508. For example, input mechanism 506 is optionally a rotatable input device. In some embodiments, input mechanism 508 is optionally a button.

[0230] In some embodiments, 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.

[0231] 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 processes 700 through 900 ( Figures 7 to 9 , Figures 11 to 13 and Figure 15 to Figure 16). 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 embodiments, the storage medium is a transient computer-readable storage medium. In some embodiments, 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.

[0232] 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.

[0233] 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 4AIn 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).

[0234] As used in the specification and claims, the term "characteristic intensity" of a contact refers to a characteristic of a contact based on one or more intensities of the contact. In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is based on multiple intensity samples. The characteristic intensity is optionally based on a predefined number of intensity samples or a set of intensity samples collected during a predetermined time period (e.g., 0.05 seconds, 0.1 seconds, 0.2 seconds, 0.5 seconds, 1 second, 2 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds) relative to a predefined event (e.g., after contact is detected, before contact is detected to be lifted off, before or after contact starts to move, before contact ends, before or after contact intensity is detected to increase, and / or before or after contact intensity is detected to decrease). The characteristic intensity of a contact is optionally based on one or more of the following: the maximum value of the intensity of the contact, the mean value of the intensity of the contact, the average value of the intensity of the contact, the value at the top 10% of the intensity of the contact, the half-maximum value of the intensity of the contact, the 90% maximum value of the intensity of the contact, etc. In some embodiments, the duration of the contact is used when determining the characteristic intensity (e.g., when the characteristic intensity is the average value of the intensity of the contact over time). In some embodiments, the feature strength is compared to a set of one or more strength thresholds to determine whether the user has performed an operation. For example, the set of one or more strength thresholds optionally includes a first strength threshold and a second strength threshold. In this example, a contact whose feature strength does not exceed the first threshold results in a first operation, a contact whose feature strength exceeds the first strength threshold but does not exceed the second strength threshold results in a second operation, and a contact whose feature strength exceeds the second threshold results in a third operation. In some embodiments, a comparison between the feature strength and one or more thresholds is used to determine whether to perform one or more operations (e.g., whether to perform the corresponding operation or give up performing the corresponding operation) rather than to determine whether to perform the first operation or the second operation.

[0235] Figure 5C Detecting multiple contacts 552A-552E on touch-sensitive display screen 504 using multiple intensity sensors 524A-524D is illustrated. Figure 5C Also included is an intensity graph that shows the current intensity measurements of intensity sensors 524A-524D relative to intensity units. In this example, the intensity measurements of intensity sensors 524A and 524D are each 9 intensity units, and the intensity measurements of intensity sensors 524B and 524C are each 7 intensity units. In some implementations, the cumulative intensity is the sum of the intensity measurements of multiple intensity sensors 524A-524D, which is 32 intensity units in this example. In some embodiments, each contact is assigned a corresponding intensity, which is a portion of the cumulative intensity. Figure 5DThe assignment of cumulative strengths to contacts 552A-552E based on their distances from the center of force 554 is illustrated. In this example, each of contacts 552A, 552B, and 552E is assigned a contact strength of 8 strength units of the cumulative strength, and each of contacts 552C and 552D is assigned a contact strength of 4 strength units of the cumulative strength. More generally, in some implementations, each contact j is assigned a corresponding strength Ij, 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. 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.

[0236] In some embodiments, a portion of a gesture is identified for determining characteristic strength. For example, the touch-sensitive surface optionally receives a continuous swipe contact that transitions from a starting position and reaches an end position, where the contact strength increases. In this example, the characteristic strength of the contact at the end position is optionally based only on a portion of the continuous swipe contact, rather than the entire swipe contact (e.g., only the portion of the swipe contact at the end position). In some embodiments, a smoothing algorithm is optionally applied to the strength of the swipe contact before determining the characteristic strength of the contact. For example, a smoothing algorithm optionally includes one or more of the following: an unweighted sliding average smoothing algorithm, a triangular smoothing algorithm, a median filter smoothing algorithm, and / or an exponential smoothing algorithm. In some cases, these smoothing algorithms eliminate narrow peaks or depressions in the strength of the swipe contact to achieve the purpose of determining the characteristic strength.

[0237] The intensity of contact on the touch-sensitive surface is optionally characterized relative to one or more intensity thresholds such as a contact detection intensity threshold, a light press intensity threshold, a deep press intensity threshold, and / or one or more other intensity thresholds. In some embodiments, the light press intensity threshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device will perform an operation typically associated with clicking a button of a physical mouse or trackpad. In some embodiments, the deep press intensity threshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device will perform an operation different from the operation typically associated with clicking a button of a physical mouse or trackpad. In some embodiments, when a contact having a characteristic intensity lower than the light press intensity threshold (e.g., and higher than a nominal contact detection intensity threshold, contacts lower than the nominal contact detection intensity threshold are no longer detected) is detected, the device will move the focus selector according to the movement of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface without performing an operation associated with the light press intensity threshold or the deep press intensity threshold. Generally speaking, unless otherwise stated, these intensity thresholds are consistent between different groups of user interface illustrations.

[0238] An increase in contact feature intensity from an intensity below a light press intensity threshold to an intensity between the light press intensity threshold and the deep press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as a "light press" input. An increase in contact feature intensity from an intensity below a deep press intensity threshold to an intensity above the deep press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as a "deep press" input. An increase in contact feature intensity from an intensity below a contact detection intensity threshold to an intensity between the contact detection intensity threshold and the light press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as detecting contact on the touch surface. A decrease in contact feature intensity from an intensity above the contact detection intensity threshold to an intensity below the contact detection intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as detecting contact lifted from the touch surface. In some embodiments, the contact detection intensity threshold is zero. In some embodiments, the contact detection intensity threshold is greater than zero.

[0239] 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 the strength of the contact subsequently decreases 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).

[0240] FIG. 5E to FIG. 5HDetection of a gesture is illustrated, the gesture comprising contact 562 with an intensity ranging from less than Figure 5E The light press intensity threshold in L ”) increases to a strength higher than Figure 5H The deep compression intensity threshold in D ”). On the displayed user interface 570 including application icons 572A-572D displayed in the predefined area 574, when the cursor 576 is displayed above the application icon 572B corresponding to application 2, a gesture performed using contact 562 is detected on the touch-sensitive surface 560. In some embodiments, the gesture is detected on the touch-sensitive display 504. The intensity sensor detects the intensity of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface 560. The device determines whether the intensity of the contact 562 is within the deep press intensity threshold (for example, “IT D ”) reaches a peak above. Contact 562 is maintained on touch-sensitive surface 560. In response to detecting the gesture, and according to the increase in intensity during the gesture to a deep press intensity threshold (e.g., “IT D ”) above contact 562, displays scaled representations 578A-578C (e.g., thumbnails) of documents recently opened for application 2, such as FIG. 5F to FIG. 5H In some embodiments, the intensity is a characteristic intensity of the contact compared to one or more intensity thresholds. It should be noted that the intensity map for contact 562 is not part of the displayed user interface, but is included in the FIG. 5E to FIG. 5H To assist the readers.

[0241] In some embodiments, the display of representations 578A-578C includes animation. For example, representation 578A is initially displayed near application icon 572B, such as Fig. 5F As the animation progresses, representation 578A moves upward and representation 578B is displayed near application icon 572B, as shown. Figure 5G Then, representation 578A moves upward, 578B moves upward toward representation 578A, and representation 578C is displayed near application icon 572B, as shown in FIG. Figure 5H 578A-578C form an array above icon 572B. In some embodiments, the animation progresses according to the intensity of contact 562, such as Figure 5F to Figure 5G , where representations 578A-578C appear and increase as the strength of contact 562 approaches a deep press strength threshold (eg, “IT D ”) increases and moves upward. In some embodiments, the intensity according to which the animation progresses is the characteristic intensity of the contact. The reference may be performed using an electronic device similar to or equivalent to device 100, 300, or 500. FIG. 5E to FIG. 5H The operation described.

[0242] 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).

[0243] For ease of explanation, a description of an operation performed in response to a press input associated with a press input intensity threshold or in response to a gesture including a press input is optionally triggered in response to detecting any of the following: contact intensity increasing to above the press input intensity threshold, contact intensity increasing from an intensity below a hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity above the press input intensity threshold, contact intensity decreasing to below the press input intensity threshold, and / or contact intensity decreasing to below a hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to the press input intensity threshold. Additionally, in examples where an operation is described as being performed in response to detecting that the intensity of the contact decreases below the press input intensity threshold, the operation is optionally performed in response to detecting that the intensity of the contact decreases below a hysteresis intensity threshold that corresponds to and is less than the press input intensity threshold.

[0244] 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.

[0245] 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:

[0246] The active application currently displayed on the display of the device on which the application is being used;

[0247] Background applications (or background processes), which are not currently displayed but one or more processes of the application are being processed by one or more processors; and

[0248] Not running but stored in memory (volatile and non-volatile respectively)

[0249] A suspended or dormant application that contains status information that can be used to resume execution of the application.

[0250] 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.

[0251] 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.

[0252] FIG. 6A to FIG. 6G Illustrated are exemplary user interfaces for using an input mechanism according to some embodiments. The user interfaces in these figures are used to illustrate the processes described below, including Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig.11 , Fig.12 , Fig.13 , Fig.15 and Fig.16 process.

[0253] In addition to technology, FIG. 6A to FIG. 6G One or more techniques for a rotatable input mechanism that moves and responds differently to input based on different settings that the rotatable input mechanism is configured to control will also be discussed. In addition to other techniques, FIG. 6A to FIG. 6G One or more techniques for responding to input directed toward a rotatable input mechanism will also be discussed.

[0254] Fig. 6A A computer system 600 is illustrated that displays an exemplary user interface to illustrate the techniques and processes described below. The computer system 600 includes a rotatable input mechanism 602 and a display (e.g., a display generating component) positioned on a housing of the computer system 600. Fig. 6A 600, the rotatable input mechanism 602 and the display are physically and electronically coupled to the computer system 600 via the housing of the computer system 600. In some embodiments, one or more of the display of the computer system 600 and the rotatable input mechanism 602 are not physically coupled to the computer system 600, but instead, the computer system 600 is wirelessly coupled to one or more of the rotatable input mechanism 602 and the display of the computer system 600. In some embodiments, the rotatable input mechanism 602 is not physically coupled to the same computer system as the display of the computer system 600. In some embodiments, the rotatable input mechanism is depressible.

[0255] As discussed further below, in response to detecting an input corresponding to a rotation of the rotatable input mechanism 602, a press on the rotatable input mechanism, a press on the rotatable input mechanism, and / or a tap on the rotatable input mechanism, the computer system 600 performs one or more operations, which optionally include the computer system 600 updating the display of the user interface. In some embodiments, the input described as a rotation of the rotatable input mechanism 602, a press on the rotatable input mechanism, or a tap on the rotatable input mechanism (or an input directed to the display of the computer system 600) may be replaced by one or more other types of inputs. In some embodiments, the one or more other types of inputs include, but are not limited to, air gestures and / or gaze inputs detected by one or more sensors of the computer system 600 (such as one or more heart rate sensors, gyroscopes, motion sensors, and / or cameras that communicate with and / or are included in the computer system 600). In some embodiments, the one or more other types of inputs include, but are not limited to, mouse clicks, press and hold inputs, mouse click and drag inputs, and / or drag inputs.

[0256] like Fig. 6A As illustrated, the rotatable input mechanism 602 is a crown of a smartwatch and / or fitness tracking device (e.g., computer system 600). However, in some embodiments, the rotatable input mechanism 602 is a knob, a dial, a joystick, a face, a rotatable button, and / or a slider. In some embodiments, the rotatable input mechanism 602 is sized differently relative to the computer system 600 than the rotatable input mechanism 602. Fig. 6AThe illustrated size of the rotatable input mechanism 602 relative to the computer system 600. In some embodiments, the rotatable input mechanism 602 is larger than the computer system 600. In some embodiments, the computer system 600 is not a smart watch but a different computer system, such as a phone, a tablet, a touch screen display, and / or a personal computing device. In some embodiments, the computer system 600 communicates with one or more devices (e.g., smart home devices (e.g., heaters, fans, windows, door locks, lights, and / or blinds) and / or entertainment devices (e.g., speakers and / or televisions)). In some embodiments, the rotatable input mechanism 620 is part of a platform such as a vehicle (e.g., a car) and / or a smart home device, and the computer system 600 is configured to adjust one or more settings of the platform via the rotational input mechanism 620, such as temperature, volume, window opening, window tinting, cabin light brightness, etc. In some embodiments, the rotatable input mechanism 620 is not physically coupled to one or more devices affected by changes in one or more settings. In some embodiments, the rotatable input mechanism 620 is part of a platform such as a vehicle (e.g., a car) and / or a smart home device, and the computer system 600 is configured to adjust one or more settings of the platform, such as temperature, volume, window opening, window tinting, cabin light brightness, etc., via the rotatable input mechanism 620. In some embodiments, the rotatable input mechanism 620 is not physically coupled to one or more devices affected by changes in the one or more settings. In some embodiments, the computer system 600 includes the one or more devices, but the computer system 600 is optionally not physically coupled to the one or more devices. In some embodiments, the computer system 600 includes one or more features and / or components of the computer systems 100, 300, and / or 500 described above.

[0257] like Fig. 6A As illustrated, computer system 600 displays user interface 610 including brightness setting control 612, contrast setting control 614, and volume setting control 616. Fig. 6A , the rotatable input mechanism 602 is configured to have a movement characteristic as shown in the movement characteristic diagram 620a. It should be understood that the movement characteristics described with respect to the movement characteristic diagram 620a are for exemplary purposes only and can be displayed on the computer system 600. Fig. 6A other mobile features when the user interface is changed (e.g., this also applies to the other mobile features and mobile feature charts discussed in this article). Fig. 6A, the movement characteristic graph 620a includes positions 620a1-620a3 representing positions of the rotatable input mechanism 620. The movement characteristic graph 620a indicates that the rotatable input mechanism 602 is configured to have a set of movement characteristics in which the rotatable input mechanism 602 is more difficult to move when the rotatable input mechanism 602 is rotated closer to an end position (e.g., an end position and / or a position corresponding to a set minimum or maximum value) than when the rotatable input mechanism 602 is not rotated closer to the end position. Fig. 6A , position 620a1 corresponds to a minimum position (e.g., a position and / or an end position corresponding to a set minimum value). In response to the rotatable input mechanism 602 rotating clockwise (and in some embodiments counterclockwise) toward a maximum position (e.g., represented by 620a4) (e.g., a position and / or an end position corresponding to a set maximum value), the computer system 600 causes the rotatable input mechanism 602 to ramp down the level of resistance provided (e.g., reduce the level of resistance to above the amount the rotatable input mechanism 602 has moved) until the rotatable input mechanism 602 reaches position 620a2. If the rotatable input mechanism 602 continues to rotate in a clockwise direction from position 620a2 to position 620a3, the computer system 600 causes the rotatable input mechanism 602 to provide a level of resistance (and in some embodiments no resistance) that is consistent and lower than the level of resistance provided between position 620a1 and position 620a2. In addition, if the rotatable input mechanism 602 is further rotated in the clockwise direction from position 620a3 to position 620a4, the computer system 600 causes the rotatable input mechanism to ramp up the resistance level from position 620a3 until reaching position 620a4 (e.g., a maximum position and / or an end position). In some embodiments, at position 620a4, the computer system 600 causes the rotatable input mechanism 602 to provide a high resistance level such that the rotatable input mechanism 602 cannot be further rotated in the clockwise direction.

[0258] FIG. 6B to FIG. 6D An exemplary user interface is illustrated to discuss techniques regarding how the movement characteristics of a rotatable input mechanism may be changed based on the settings that the rotatable input mechanism is configured to control. Fig. 6A , the computer system 600 detects a tap input 611a1 on the brightness setting control 612, a tap input 611a2 on the contrast setting control 614, or a tap input 611a3 on the volume setting control 616. As discussed above, in some embodiments, the tap inputs 611a1-611a3 may be one or more other inputs, such as an air gesture, a gaze input, a mouse click, and / or one or more other inputs.

[0259] like Figure 6BAs illustrated, in response to detecting a tap input 611a on the brightness setting control 612, the computer system 600 displays a brightness setting user interface 630 including a brightness slider 632 and a current brightness value indicator 634. The brightness slider 632 indicates a range of values ​​to which the current brightness value can be set. The current brightness value indicator 634 indicates a value of the range of values ​​to which the current brightness value is set. In response to detecting a rotation of the rotatable input mechanism 602 (e.g., clockwise rotation or counterclockwise rotation), the computer system 600 rotates the rotatable input mechanism 602 in a direction (e.g., in a direction) corresponding to the rotation direction (e.g., counterclockwise or clockwise) of the rotatable input mechanism 602. Figure 6B In some embodiments, the computer system 600 moves the display of the current brightness value indicator 634 on the display of the computer system 600 (to the left or right). In some embodiments, when the display of the current brightness value indicator 634 is moved, the computer system 600 causes the output (e.g., light) of one or more devices (e.g., the brightness of the kitchen light and / or the brightness of the display) to change based on the updated position of the current brightness value indicator 634 on the brightness slider 632. In some embodiments, the computer system 600 causes the output of one or more devices to change after the current brightness value indicator 634 stops moving and / or after the rotation of the rotatable input mechanism 602 has stopped. In some embodiments, the computer system 600 detects an input directed to the display of the computer system 600, such as a tap input, a drag input, and / or a slide input, and in response, moves the current brightness value indicator 634 based on the detected input and causes the output of one or more devices to change. In some embodiments, the computer system 600 provides less tactile output when a tap input, a drag input, and / or a slide input is detected than the computer system 600 would cause the rotatable input mechanism 602 to provide when the setting is being set to the same value via rotation of the rotatable input mechanism 602 (e.g., as discussed further below).

[0260] exist Figure 6B In response to detecting a tap input 611a on the brightness setting control 612, the computer system 600 does not configure the rotatable input mechanism 602 to have a different set of movement characteristics. Figure 6B The movement characteristics of the rotatable input mechanism 602 are similar to those in Fig. 6A The movement characteristics of the rotatable input mechanism 602 are the same, which is achieved by Fig. 6A The mobile characteristic chart 620a and Figure 6B The same as the mobile characteristic chart 620b indicates. Figure 6B, the computer system 600 causes the rotatable input mechanism 602 to ramp down the resistance level (e.g., from position 620b1 to position 620b2) to provide a consistent resistance level (e.g., from position 620b2 to position 620b3), and ramps up the resistance level (e.g., from position 620b3 to position 620b4) as the rotatable input mechanism 602 rotates clockwise (or, in some embodiments, counterclockwise). In some embodiments, the computer system 600 causes the rotatable input mechanism 602 to ramp down the provided resistance level (or ramp up the resistance level) more steeply or abruptly than indicated by the movement characteristic graph 620b. In some embodiments, the computer system 600 provides the opposite set of resistance as the rotatable input mechanism 602 rotates in the opposite direction (e.g., counterclockwise). In some embodiments, in response to detecting a tap input 611a on the brightness setting control 612, the computer system 600 configures the rotatable input mechanism 602 to have a different set of movement characteristics, wherein the computer system 600 configures the rotatable input mechanism 602 to provide a constant level of resistance for an amount of rotation that is shorter or longer than an amount of rotation traveled from positions 620b2 and 620b3 (or vice versa). As an example, the computer system 600 may cause the rotatable input mechanism 602 to be in a state where the rotatable input mechanism 602 is ... Figure 6B The resistance level is ramped up (or down) after rotating 400 (or 150, 220 or 505) degrees from the corresponding position (e.g., the end position or another position), while the resistance of the rotatable input mechanism is ramped up (or down) after the rotatable input mechanism 602 is rotated 180 (or 120, 630 or 275) degrees from the corresponding position in 6A.

[0261] As discussed above and returning to Fig. 6A , the computer system 600 detects a tap input 611a2 on the contrast setting control 614. Figure 6C As illustrated, in response to detecting a tap input 611a2 on the contrast setting control 614, the computer system 600 displays a contrast setting user interface 640 including a low contrast value setting 642, a medium contrast value setting 644, and a high contrast value setting 646. Figure 6C As illustrated, the computer system 600 displays a current contrast value indicator 648 around the low contrast value setting 642 to indicate that the contrast value is set to the low contrast value setting. Figure 6B A mechanism (e.g., a slider) for setting the brightness setting value is more convenient than having a Figure 6C Different user interfaces for different mechanisms for setting contrast values ​​(e.g., individual value settings). Therefore, some settings have specific mechanisms for setting values ​​for the corresponding settings. Figure 6CAs illustrated, in response to detecting a tap input 611a2 on the contrast setting control 614, the computer system 600 configures the rotatable input mechanism 602 to be aligned with the contrast setting control 614. Figure 6B In some embodiments, because the mechanism for setting the contrast value is different from the mechanism for setting the brightness value, the computer system 600 configures the rotatable input mechanism 602 to have a different set of movement characteristics than the movement characteristics of the rotatable input mechanism 602 in FIG. Figure 6B The movement characteristics of the rotatable input mechanism 602 have a different set of movement characteristics than those of the rotatable input mechanism 602 .

[0262] If Figure 6C As indicated in the mobile characteristic diagram 620c, Figure 6B The configuration of the rotatable input mechanism 602 (e.g., as provided by Figure 6B The computer system 600 causes the rotatable input mechanism 602 to provide more transitions and shorter transitions between the high resistance level and the low resistance level compared to the movement characteristic graph 620b of FIG. Figure 6C , when the rotatable input mechanism 602 begins to rotate in a clockwise direction (or counterclockwise direction) at position 620c1, which corresponds to a position of a low contrast value setting 642 (e.g., a minimum value of the contrast setting), the computer system 600 causes the rotatable input mechanism 602 to ramp down the level of resistance provided as the rotatable input mechanism moves between position 620c1 and position 620c2. In some embodiments, as the rotatable input mechanism moves between position 620c1 and position 620c2, the current contrast value indicator 648 continues to hover around the low contrast value setting 642 (e.g., the low contrast value setting 642 continues to be selected). Figure 6C As the rotatable input mechanism 602 is further rotated in a clockwise direction between positions 620c2-620c3, the computer system 600 causes the rotatable input mechanism 602 to provide a consistent level of resistance until ramping up the level of resistance provided when moving between positions 620c3-620c4. In some embodiments, when the rotatable input mechanism 602 is moved to position 620c4, the current contrast value indicator 648 is moved from around the low contrast value setting 642 to the medium contrast value setting 644, and the computer system 600 causes a display, such as a display of the computer system 600 or another display (e.g., a television or monitor), to change from providing the low contrast level to the medium contrast level. As indicated by Figure 6C As indicated in the mobile characteristic diagram 620c, Figure 6CFurther rotation of the rotatable input mechanism 602 will provide movement characteristics similar to those discussed above with respect to the rotation of the rotatable input mechanism 602 between positions 620c1 to 620c4 to move the current contrast value indicator 648 from the medium contrast value setting 644 to the high contrast value setting 646. Figure 6B The provided movement characteristics and computer system 600 configure the rotatable input mechanism 602 to Figure 6C When comparing the mobility characteristics provided, Figure 6B The positioning between 620b1 and 620b4 provides a more consistent and continuous resistance level than in Figure 6C The less consistent and continuous levels of resistance provided between positioning 620b1 through 620b4 are more indicative of movement of an indicator across a slider (e.g., a more continuous resistance) than is provided (e.g., where the values ​​are not visually separated), and the less consistent and continuous resistance is more indicative of movement of the indicator rather than the slider between separate and visually separate settings.

[0263] As discussed above and returning to Fig. 6A , the computer system 600 detects a tap input 611a3 on the volume setting control 616. Fig.6D As illustrated, the computer system 600 displays a volume setting user interface 650 that includes a mechanism for changing the value of the volume setting. Fig.6D As illustrated, the mechanism for changing the volume has separate settings, such as a minimum setting 652 and a maximum setting 656. FIG. 6C to FIG. 6D When Fig.6D The mechanism for setting the volume setting is the same as in Figure 6C 6D, value setting 654 is emphasized (e.g., a different color and / or boldface) when compared to minimum setting value 652 and maximum setting value 656, indicating that value setting 654 corresponds to the current value of the volume setting. In response to detecting tap input 611a3, computer system 600 configures rotatable input mechanism 602 as described above with respect to FIG. 6B to FIG. 6C The computer system 600 configures the rotatable input mechanism 602 to provide a different resistance set than the resistance set discussed above. As illustrated by the movement characteristic graph 620d, the computer system 600 configures the rotatable input mechanism 602 to provide a different resistance set than the resistance set discussed above. FIG. 6B to FIG. 6CThe resistance group discussed provides more transitions between resistance levels than as the rotatable input mechanism 602 is moved from position 620d1 to position 620d15. Here, the computer system 600 configures the rotatable input mechanism 602 to provide more transitions between resistance levels to mimic the selection of a separate value setting displayed on the volume user interface 650. In addition, the computer system 600 configures the rotatable input mechanism 602 to ramp up to less than a high (or maximum and / or near-maximum) resistance level (or resistance provided at end positions such as positions 620d1 and 620d15) at some positions (e.g., such as 620d3), as indicated by the movement characteristic graph 620d. Thus, in some embodiments, the computer system 600 may cause the rotatable input mechanism 602 to ramp up to a resistance level less than a high resistance level and / or ramp down to a resistance level greater than a high resistance level.

[0264] In some embodiments, the computer system 600 provides different sets of tactile outputs along with providing different movement characteristics. In some embodiments, the computer system 600 provides corresponding sets of tactile outputs to mimic the corresponding sets of movement characteristics provided (e.g., they mimic the corresponding mechanisms for setting corresponding setting values). In some embodiments, when the computer system 600 provides the sets of tactile outputs, the rotatable input mechanism 602 vibrates so that the vibrations can be felt by a user who is touching the rotatable input mechanism 602. In some embodiments, the computer system 600 causes the rotatable input mechanism 602 to provide the sets of tactile outputs (e.g., when the rotatable input mechanism is not physically coupled to the computer system 600). As an example of providing different sets of tactile outputs along with providing different movement characteristics, the computer system 600 (or the rotatable input mechanism 602) may FIG. 6A to FIG. 6D The maximum resistance level and / or the minimum resistance level shown in the movement characteristic graph 620d to 620d provide a separate tactile sensation. In some embodiments, the computer system 600 provides a tactile output when the rotatable input mechanism 602 is in the following positions: Fig. 6A Positioning 620a1 and 620a4; Figure 6B Positioning 620b1 and 620b4; Positioning 620c1, 620c4 and 620c10; and Fig.6Dd1, 620d3, and 620d15. Thus, in some embodiments, the computer system 600 provides different numbers of tactile outputs and / or provides tactile outputs at different times and / or at different locations of the rotatable input mechanism 602 while the rotatable input mechanism 602 is configured to cause the computer system 600 to change the value of the setting. In some embodiments, the computer system 600 provides tactile outputs with different intensity levels. As an example, the computer system 600 may provide a stronger tactile output (e.g., at 1:100) when the rotatable input mechanism 602 is caused to provide a higher level of resistance than when the rotatable input mechanism 602 is caused to provide a lower level of resistance. Fig.6D In some embodiments, in response to the rotatable input mechanism 602 being able to provide a stronger tactile output at position 620d2 than at position 620d3, Fig.6D (or in FIG. 6B to FIG. 6C ) detects the input of the feedback control 636, and the computer system 600 redisplays Fig. 6A The user interface and the rotatable input mechanism 602 is configured to be Fig.6D (or in Figure 6C ) provides something other than providing different sets of movement characteristics and / or tactile outputs.

[0265] FIG. 6E to FIG. 6G An exemplary user interface is illustrated to discuss techniques regarding how the tactile sensation of a rotatable input mechanism may change based on one or more operations that the rotatable input mechanism is configured to cause a computer system to perform. Fig. 6E As illustrated, the computer system 600 is displaying a brightness setting user interface 630. Fig. 6E The computer system 600 responds to the rotatable input mechanism 602 rotating in a clockwise direction (e.g., via Figure 6B Input 611b) to display the brightness setting user interface 630. Fig. 6E , the computer system 600 has moved the current brightness value indicator 634 to a value on the brightness slider 632 that corresponds to the maximum value of the brightness setting. Fig. 6E , the computer system 600 detects a touch input (eg, an input corresponding to a tap input, a pinch input, a press input, and / or a non-rotation input) 611e on the rotatable input mechanism 602. Fig. 6E In response to detecting the touch input 611e on the rotatable input mechanism 602, the computer system 600 provides a tactile output (e.g., indicated by the tactile output 662e) and / or causes the rotatable input mechanism 602 to provide a tactile output. In addition, in response to detecting the touch input 611e on the rotatable input mechanism 602, the computer system 600 causes an external device (e.g., a dining room light, a kitchen light, and / or a bedroom light) to perform an operation, such as turning off or on. Thus, viewing Fig. 6A , Figure 6B and Fig. 6E , the computer system 600 configures the rotatable input mechanism 602 to respond to two different types of input (e.g., a tap input (or other type of touch input) and a rotatable input), wherein each type of input causes a different type of operation to be performed (e.g., turning a light on or off and changing a brightness setting). Fig. 6A The rotatable input mechanism 602 is configured in this manner by selecting a brightness setting via the tap input 611a1.

[0266] exist Fig. 6F , the computer system 600 is displaying the contrast setting user interface 640. Fig. 6F The computer system 600 responds to the rotatable input mechanism 602 rotating in a clockwise direction (e.g., via Figure 6C The contrast setting user interface 640 is displayed by rotating the input 611c. Fig. 6F , the computer system 600 has moved the current contrast value indicator 648 to the right to indicate that the medium contrast value setting 644 is selected (e.g., instead of Figure 6C 642 is chosen). It is worth noting that Figure 6B The rotation input 611b and Figure 6C The rotation input 611c has the same magnitude (e.g., force and rate). However, the current contrast value indicator 648 moves further to the right than the current brightness value indicator 634 because the rotatable input mechanism 602 is configured to rotate in the direction corresponding to the rotation input mechanism 602. Figure 6B The movement characteristic graph 620b shows that the positioning of 620b2 and 620b3 are in the same range during the period Figure 6C (For example, in Figure 6C The movement characteristic diagram 620c provides a resistance ratio between certain positions of the rotatable input mechanism 602 (e.g., between positions 620c2 and 620c7). Figure 6B The movement characteristic diagram 620b of FIG. 620b is shown as being positioned between 620b2 and 620b3 to provide less resistance to brightness setting. In other words, the rotatable input mechanism 602 is configured to move in a direction that is less prone to change. Fig. 6F In the case of a , more resistance is applied and a smaller amount is moved. Fig. 6F , the computer system 600 detects a touch input 611f on the rotatable input mechanism 602. In response to detecting the touch input 611f, the computer system 600 does not provide a tactile output and / or does not cause the rotatable input mechanism 602 to provide a tactile output. Fig. 6F, the computer system 600 also does not cause an operation to be performed in response to detecting the touch input 611f. Fig. 6A , Figure 6C and Fig. 6F , the computer system 600 configures the rotatable input mechanism 602 to respond to only one type of input (e.g., a rotation input and not a tap input (or another type of touch input)), wherein the input causes the rotatable input mechanism 602 to respond to only one type of input (e.g., a rotation input and not a tap input (or another type of touch input)). Figure 6B The same type of operation as that performed for the rotation input detected for the brightness setting is performed (eg, changing in the value of the setting).

[0267] Figure 6G A computer system 600 is illustrated that displays a media user interface including media art 612 (e.g., album and / or video cover). Figure 6G , computer system 600 detects touch input 611g on rotatable input mechanism 602. In response to detecting touch input 611g, computer system 600 provides a tactile output (e.g., indicated by tactile output 662g). In addition, in response to detecting touch input 611g, computer system 600 causes a speaker and / or another device to perform a media operation, such as pausing playback of media corresponding to media art 612 and causing playback to resume. Thus, computer system 600 configures rotatable input mechanism 602 to perform operations other than tactile output 662g in response to detecting touch input. Fig. 6E In some embodiments, the media art 612 is a play control instead of the media art, and in response to detecting the touch input 611, the computer system 600 causes the media to play and replaces the play control with a pause control. In some embodiments, the computer system 600 configures the rotatable input mechanism 602 to Figure 6C Provided with Figure 6BDifferent types of tactile sensations, such as pulsating tactile sensations, tactile sensations with more force, and / or tactile sensations provided for longer periods of time. In some embodiments, providing rotational input to the rotatable input mechanism 602 will not cause the computer system 600 to perform an operation while the computer system 600 is displaying a media user interface. In some embodiments, the rotatable input mechanism 602 is not configured to move (or is configured to provide a level of resistance that prevents the rotatable input mechanism from moving) when a rotational input is provided at the rotatable input mechanism 602 while the computer system 600 is displaying a media user interface. It is contemplated that the computer system 600 may be configured to perform one or more other operations in response to detecting an input corresponding to a touch input and / or a rotational input, such as unlocking a door, opening a garage, opening a window, causing an actuator to move an object, and the like. It is also contemplated that the computer system 600 may be configured to provide different movement characteristics other than rotation of the rotatable input mechanism 602, such as movement characteristics for pulling, pressing, and / or moving the rotatable input mechanism 602 laterally.

[0268] Figure 7 It is a flowchart illustrating a method for using a computer system to change the movement characteristics of an input mechanism according to some embodiments. Method 700 is performed at a computer system (e.g., 100, 300, 500) that communicates with a physical (e.g., hardware and / or non-displayed) input mechanism (e.g., a hardware input mechanism, a rotatable input mechanism, a crown, a knob, a dial, a physical slider, and / or a hardware button). In some embodiments, the rotatable input mechanism is part of a platform such as a vehicle (e.g., a car and / or a boat) and / or a smart home device. In some embodiments, the input detected at the rotatable input mechanism causes one or more settings such as temperature, volume, window opening, window tint, cabin light brightness, etc. to be updated. In some embodiments, the computer system is a watch, a phone, a tablet, a processor, a head-mounted display (HMD) device, and / or a personal computing device. In some embodiments, the computer system communicates with a display generation component (such as a display screen and / or a touch-sensitive display). In some embodiments, the computer system communicates with one or more cameras (e.g., one or more telephoto, wide-angle, and / or ultra-wide-angle cameras). Some operations in method 700 are optionally combined, the order of some operations is optionally changed, and some operations are optionally omitted.

[0269] As described below, method 700 provides an intuitive way to change the movement characteristics of a physical input mechanism. The method reduces the cognitive burden on the user to use the physical input mechanism, thereby creating a more efficient human-computer interface. For battery-powered computing devices, users can use the physical input mechanism faster and more efficiently, saving power and increasing the time interval between battery charges.

[0270] At 710 of method 700, a computer system (e.g., 600) may be configured to have (e.g., and / or the physical input mechanism has) a first set of movement characteristics (e.g., 620a-60d) (e.g., a range of movement of the physical input mechanism for a particular distance in a graphical user interface, smooth movement over a first distance of movement of the physical input mechanism, jittery (e.g., bumpy and / or with resistance during movement) movement over a second distance of movement of the physical input mechanism) in response to detecting a rotation of the physical input mechanism (e.g., an amount of rotational movement (e.g., via rotational movement and / or force)), for An input (e.g., a tap input and in some embodiments, a non-tap input, such as a swipe input, a mouse click, a button press, a gaze input, an air gesture input, and / or a gaze input with an air gesture input) directed to a control (e.g., at a location corresponding to the control and / or on the control) is detected within a graphical user interface over a specific distance of movement of a physical input mechanism and / or a range of acceleration of movement with a force (e.g., the same or different) applied to the physical input mechanism over a period of time (e.g., slowing down rotation or stopping rotation for a period of time during movement and / or accelerating rotation and / or starting rotation for a period of time during movement of the physical input mechanism). In some embodiments, the control is a user interface object. In some embodiments, the computer system displays the control on the user interface. In some embodiments, the control is a physical control that is not displayed. In some embodiments, the control is a setting control (e.g., a temperature control, a volume control, a fan control, and / or a heating element control (e.g., a heating pad control, a water heating element control, and / or a seat heating element control)). In some embodiments, the control is the value of a setting that is not displayed. In some embodiments, a computer system displays a control on a user interface that does not indicate (e.g., via text and / or symbols) that a characteristic of a physical input mechanism will change (e.g., but in some embodiments indicates that one or more other settings (e.g., volume, temperature, fan, and / or heating element) will change). In some embodiments, a control is a selectable user interface object.

[0271] At 720 of method 700, the computer system, in response to detecting input directed to the control and based on determining that the control corresponds to a first type of setting (e.g., a temperature setting, a fan setting, a heating element setting, a volume setting, a brightness setting, a light setting, a contrast setting, a television setting, a cabin setting, a door setting (e.g., a garage door setting, a front door setting, and / or a back door setting) and / or a setting that does not indicate that the physical input mechanism is to be configured differently and / or sets the physical setting to have a different set of movement characteristics), configures the physical input mechanism to have a second set of movement characteristics in response to detecting rotation of the physical input mechanism (and, in some embodiments, regardless of any tactile response output by the computer system and / or the physical input mechanism), wherein the second set of movement characteristics is different from the first set of movement characteristics; and

[0272] At 730 of method 700, the computer system, in response to detecting input directed to the control and based on determining that the control corresponds to a second type of setting that is different from the first type of setting, configures the physical input mechanism to have a third set of movement characteristics (and in some embodiments, without configuring the physical input mechanism to have the second set of movement characteristics and / or the first set of movement characteristics) in response to detecting rotation of the physical input mechanism (and in some embodiments, regardless of any tactile response output by the computer system and / or the physical input mechanism), wherein the third set of movement characteristics is different from the second set of movement characteristics. In some embodiments, based on determining that the control corresponds to the first type of setting, the computer system does not configure the physical input mechanism to have the first set of movement characteristics and / or the third set of movement characteristics. Configuring the physical input mechanism to have different movement characteristics based on specified conditions allows the computer system to automatically configure the physical input mechanism to have a particular set of movement characteristics based on the type of setting that the physical input mechanism can be used to adjust, which performs the operation without further user input when the conditional set has been met and provides improved feedback to the user.

[0273] In some embodiments, the second set of mobility characteristics (e.g., 620a-620d) includes a first number of transitions (e.g., and / or changes) between different mobility characteristics in the second set of mobility characteristics (e.g., 620a-620d). In some embodiments, the third set of mobility characteristics includes a second number of transitions (e.g., and / or changes) between different mobility characteristics in the third set of mobility characteristics (e.g., 620a-620d). FIG. 6A to FIG. 6DIn some embodiments, the amount of the second set of movement characteristics (e.g., the total amount, the total number, the total number of different types of movement characteristics therein, the total number of movement characteristics that are independent of the type of movement characteristics, and / or the total number of transitions between different movement characteristics) is different from the amount of the third set of movement characteristics. In some embodiments, the amount of the second movement characteristic is different from the amount of the first movement characteristic. In some embodiments, the amount of the third movement characteristic is different from the amount of the first movement characteristic. In some embodiments, one or more of the first set of movement characteristics, the second set of movement characteristics, and the third set of movement characteristics have a different number of transitions between movement characteristics when the input mechanism is moving. Configuring the physical input mechanism to have different movement characteristics with different numbers of transitions between movement characteristics based on specified conditions allows the computer system to automatically configure the physical input mechanism to have a specific set of movement characteristics based on the type of setting that the physical input mechanism can be used to adjust, which performs an operation without further user input when the condition set has been met and provides improved feedback to the user.

[0274] In some embodiments, the computer system: based on determining that the control (e.g., 610, 614, and / or 616) corresponds to a first type of setting, in response to detecting a rotation (e.g., 611b-611c) of the physical input mechanism (e.g., 602), causes a first set of tactile sensations (e.g., as described above with respect to FIG. 6A to FIG. 6D discussed) (e.g., vibrations and / or pulses) (e.g., output by a computer system, output by a physical input mechanism, and / or output via one or more tactile and / or vibration components) (e.g., a combination of one or more tactile sensations of varying lengths (e.g., one or more short tactile sensations and longer tactile sensations in a specific order and for a specific duration)) (e.g., multiple tactile sensations, no tactile sensations, and / or only one tactile sensation); and based on determining that the control (e.g., 610, 614, and / or 616) corresponds to a second type of setting, causing a second set of tactile sensations in response to detecting rotation of the physical input mechanism (e.g., 602) (e.g., as described above with respect to FIG. 6A to FIG. 6D In some embodiments, the set of tactile sensations is felt at the physical input mechanism, where the physical input mechanism vibrates. In some embodiments, the set of tactile sensations is felt at the computer system, where the computer system vibrates. Causing the output of a set of tactile sensations based on specified conditions allows the computer system to configure the physical input mechanism to have a specific set of tactile sensations based on the type of settings that the physical input mechanism can be used to adjust, which performs an operation without further user input when the set of conditions has been met and provides improved feedback to the user.

[0275] In some embodiments, the output of the first set of tactile sensations caused in response to detecting rotation of the physical input mechanism (e.g., 602) includes causing the output of the first set of tactile sensations in response to detecting that the physical input mechanism has been rotated a first amount (e.g., a first degree amount, arc length, arc distance, straight-line distance, and / or straight-line length) in a first manner (e.g., in some embodiments, clockwise or counterclockwise with respect to yaw, pitch, and / or roll) (e.g., as described above with respect to FIG. 6B to FIG. 6D In some embodiments, the first portion of the first set of tactile sensations has a first intensity level (e.g., an amount of force, an amount of pressure, and / or an amount of vibration) (e.g., as discussed above with respect to FIG. 6A to FIG. 6D In some embodiments, the intensity levels of the second portion of the first set of tactile sensations are output at an intensity level different from the first intensity level (e.g., in response to detecting that the physical input mechanism has been rotated in a first manner by an amount different from (e.g., greater than and / or less than) a second amount). In some embodiments, the first portion of the first set of tactile sensations and the second portion of the first set of tactile sensations are non-overlapping portions. In some embodiments, causing output of the second set of tactile sensations in response to detecting rotation of the physical input mechanism includes causing output of the second set of tactile sensations in response to detecting that the physical input mechanism has been rotated in a first manner by a first amount (e.g., as discussed above with respect to FIG. 6B to FIG. 6D In some embodiments, the first portion of the second set of tactile sensations has a second intensity level that is different from the first intensity level (e.g., as discussed above with respect to FIG. 6A to FIG. 6D Causes tactile sets to be output at different intensity levels based on specified conditions to allow a computer system to configure a physical input mechanism to have a specific tactile set based on the type of settings that the physical input mechanism can be used to adjust, which performs an operation without further user input and provides improved feedback to the user when the set of conditions has been met.

[0276] In some embodiments, the first set of tactile sensations includes a first tactile sensation and a second tactile sensation immediately following the first tactile sensation (e.g., as described above with respect to FIG. 6B to FIG. 6D In some embodiments, the second set of tactile sensations includes a third tactile sensation and a fourth tactile sensation immediately following the third tactile sensation (e.g., as discussed above with respect to FIG. 6B to FIG. 6D In some embodiments, the first time is the time between the first tactile sensation and the second tactile sensation (e.g., as discussed above with respect to FIG. 6B to FIG. 6D In some embodiments, the second time is the time between the third tactile sensation and the fourth tactile sensation (e.g., as discussed above with respect to FIG. 6B to FIG. 6D In some embodiments, the second time is different from the first time. Enabling the output of a tactile set at a time based on a specified condition allows the computer system to configure the physical input mechanism to have a specific tactile set based on the type of setting that the physical input mechanism can be used to adjust, which performs an operation without further user input when the condition set has been met and provides improved feedback to the user.

[0277] In some embodiments, the second set of tactile sensations (e.g., as described above with respect to FIG. 6B to FIG. 6D In some embodiments, the third set of tactile sensations (e.g., as discussed above with respect to the haptic sensations) indicates consistent movement of the physical input mechanism (e.g., 602) over the corresponding movement amount of the physical input mechanism (e.g., continuous and / or connected tactile sensations provided when the physical input mechanism is moving the corresponding amount). FIG. 6B to FIG. 6D (e.g., a discontinuous and / or disjoint tactile sensation provided when the physical input mechanism is moving a corresponding amount) indicating a change in movement of the physical input mechanism over a corresponding amount of movement of the physical input mechanism (e.g., as discussed above with respect to FIG. 6A to FIG. 6D Causing output indicating different types of tactile sets of movement based on specified conditions allows a computer system to configure a physical input mechanism to have a specific tactile set based on the type of setting that the physical input mechanism can be used to adjust, which performs an operation without further user input and provides improved feedback to the user when the set of conditions has been met.

[0278] In some embodiments, the amount of tactile sensations in the first set of tactile sensations (e.g., the total amount, the total number, and / or the total number of different types of moving tactile sensations therein, the total number of tactile sensations that are not related to the type of tactile sensations, and / or the total number of transitions between different tactile sensations) is different from the amount of tactile sensations in the second set of tactile sensations (e.g., as described above with respect to FIG. 6B to FIG. 6D Caused to output a tactile set based on a specified condition allows a computer system to configure a physical input mechanism to have a specific tactile set based on the type of setting that the physical input mechanism can be used to adjust, which performs an operation without further user input and provides improved feedback to the user when the condition set has been met.

[0279] In some embodiments, a computer system (e.g., 600) communicates with a display generation component. In some embodiments, before (e.g., while) detecting input pointing to a control (e.g., 611a1-611a3), the computer system is displaying a representation of the control (e.g., 612, 614, and / or 616) on a first user interface via the display generation component. In some embodiments, in response to detecting input pointing to the control (e.g., 611a1-611a3), the computer system: based on determining that the control corresponds to a first type of setting, displays a user interface (e.g., a first user interface or a different user interface) including a first user interface object (e.g., 632, 642, 644, 646, 656, and / or 656) (e.g., a scale and / or one or more options) via the display generation component, wherein the first user interface object includes a value (e.g., 0-100, on, off, very high) corresponding to the first setting (e.g., which is displayed at a corresponding location (e.g., around and / or near the physical input mechanism)). , high, very low, low, and / or medium) (e.g., values ​​to which the setting can be set) (and in some embodiments, stop displaying the control; and in other embodiments, continue displaying the control); and based on determining that the control corresponds to a setting of the second type, display, via the display generation component, a user interface that includes a second user interface object (and does not include the first user interface object), wherein the second user interface object includes one or more indications of the value corresponding to the second setting, wherein the one or more indications of the value corresponding to the first setting are different from the one or more indications of the value corresponding to the second setting. In some embodiments, the computer system does not display the first user interface object simultaneously with the second user interface object. In some embodiments, one or more indications of values ​​corresponding to the second type of setting are different from one or more indications of values ​​corresponding to the first type of setting (e.g., different types of indications (e.g., numerical values ​​(e.g., 0-100), textual indications (e.g., very high, high, very low, low, and / or medium))). Displaying the first user interface object or the second user interface object based on specified conditions allows the computer system to automatically provide specific controls for changing the settings based on the type of setting selected to be adjusted, which performs the operation without further user input when the condition set has been met and provides improved feedback to the user.

[0280] In some embodiments, while displaying a user interface including a first user interface object, a computer system displays, via a display generation component, an indication of a current value of a first setting (e.g., 634 and / or 648) (e.g., a highlight and / or mark (e.g., a shape, circle, triangle, and / or square) on a scale's value (e.g., tick marks and / or positioning) at a first position relative to the first user interface object (e.g., on, near, adjacent to, and / or in an area corresponding to it). In some embodiments, while displaying the indication of the current value of the first setting at the first position, the computer system detects a rotation of the physical input mechanism (e.g., 602). In some embodiments, in response to detecting the rotation of the physical input mechanism, the computer system moves the display of the indication of the current value of the first setting (e.g., based on the speed, direction, and / or distance of the rotation) to a second position relative to the first user interface object. Moving the display of the indication of the current value of the first setting to a second position relative to the first user interface object in response to detecting the rotation of the physical input mechanism provides visual feedback to the user that the value of the setting is changing and provides the user with more control over the user interface without cluttering the user interface.

[0281] In some embodiments, one or more indications (e.g., 632, 642, 644, 646, 656, and / or 656) of values ​​corresponding to a first setting are displayed at a first set of positions (e.g., on a display generating component, relative to a physical input mechanism, and / or relative to a scale of the corresponding setting) representing a first set of movement characteristics (e.g., indicating a second set of movement characteristics (e.g., based on the spacing between one or more indications and / or the size of one or more indications and / or whether one or more indications are connected or unconnected)). In some embodiments, one or more indications of values ​​corresponding to a second setting are displayed at a second set of positions (e.g., on a display generating component, relative to a physical input mechanism, and / or relative to a scale of the corresponding setting) representing a second set of movement characteristics. In some embodiments, the first set of positions is different from the second set of positions (e.g., has at least one position in the second set of positions or does not have at least one position in the second set of positions). Displaying a user interface object with one or more indications having values ​​corresponding to the corresponding setting provides visual feedback to the user about the movement characteristics of the physical input mechanism and / or the corresponding setting.

[0282] In some embodiments, in response to detecting input directed to the control (e.g., 611a1-611a3) and based on determining that the control corresponds to the third type of settings, the computer system abandons configuring the physical input mechanism (e.g., 602) to have a set of movement characteristics that is different from the first set of movement characteristics. In some embodiments, based on determining that the control corresponds to the third type of settings, the physical input mechanism continues to have the first set of movement characteristics.

[0283] In some embodiments, a second set of movement characteristics (e.g., 620a-620d) has a first amount of movement continuity (e.g., a continuous smooth, connected, and non-jittery tactile sensation provided when the physical input mechanism is moving a corresponding amount). In some embodiments, a third set of movement characteristics (e.g., 620a-620d) has a second amount of movement continuity (e.g., a discontinuous, non-smooth, disconnected, and jittery tactile sensation provided when the physical input mechanism is moving a corresponding amount) that is different from the first amount of movement continuity (e.g., less continuous or more continuous movement when the physical input mechanism moves over a certain distance).

[0284] Note that the above description is relative to method 700 (eg, Figure 7 ) also applies in a similar manner to the methods described below. For example, method 800 optionally includes one or more features of the various methods described above with reference to method 700. For example, in response to detecting the input of the pointing control of method 800, method 700 configures the physical input mechanism to have a first set of movement characteristics. For the sake of brevity, these details are not repeated below.

[0285] Figure 8It is a flowchart illustrating a method for using a computer system to change the tactile sense of an input mechanism according to some embodiments. Method 800 is performed at a computer system (e.g., 100, 300, 500) that communicates with a physical (e.g., hardware and / or non-displayed) input mechanism (e.g., a hardware input mechanism, a rotatable input mechanism, a crown, a knob, a dial, a physical slider, and / or a hardware button). In some embodiments, the rotatable input mechanism is part of a platform such as a vehicle (e.g., a car and / or a boat) and / or a smart home device. In some embodiments, the input detected at the rotatable input mechanism causes one or more settings such as temperature, volume, window opening, window tint, cabin light brightness, etc. to be updated. In some embodiments, the computer system is a watch, a phone, a tablet, a processor, a head-mounted display (HMD) device, and / or a personal computing device. In some embodiments, the computer system communicates with a display generation component (such as a display screen and / or a touch-sensitive display). In some embodiments, the computer system communicates with one or more cameras (e.g., one or more telephoto, wide-angle, and / or ultra-wide-angle cameras). Some operations in method 800 are optionally combined, the order of some operations is optionally changed, and some operations are optionally omitted.

[0286] As described below, method 800 provides an intuitive way to change the tactile feel of a physical input mechanism. The method reduces the cognitive burden on the user to use the physical input mechanism, thereby creating a more efficient human-computer interface. For battery-powered computing devices, users are enabled to use the physical input mechanism faster and more efficiently, saving power and increasing the time between battery charges.

[0287] At 810 of method 800, the computer system detects input directed to the control (e.g., a tap input and, in some embodiments, a non-tap input such as a swipe input, a mouse click, a button press, a gaze input, an air gesture input, and / or a gaze input with an air gesture input) (e.g., as described above with respect to method 700).

[0288] At 820 of method 800, the computer system, in response to detecting input pointing to the control and based on determining that the control corresponds to a first type of setting (e.g., as described above with respect to method 700), displays a first user interface object (e.g., a selectable user interface object, a user interface object that, when selected, causes a change in the first type of setting and / or causes an output based on the first type of setting (e.g., performed by a first group of devices and / or computer system) to change) that corresponds to the first setting (and does not correspond to another type of setting). In some embodiments, the first user interface object is displayed simultaneously with the control. In some embodiments, before detecting input pointing to the control, the first user interface object is not displayed and the control is displayed, and in response to detecting input pointing to the control, the computer system displays the first user interface object and stops displaying the control.

[0289] At 830 of method 800, the computer system, in response to detecting input pointing to a control and based on determining that the control corresponds to a first type of setting (e.g., as described above with respect to method 700), configures the physical input mechanism to provide output (e.g., tactile output and / or vibration output) in response to detecting input corresponding to a touch input on the physical input mechanism (e.g., a physical touch input, a button press, a non-rotational input, and / or an input that causes the physical input mechanism to perform the same operation as the operation performed when the physical input mechanism is physically touched) (e.g., a tap input, a double tap input, a press and hold input, a gaze input, a gaze with an air gesture input (e.g., an air tap input and / or a pointing input)).

[0290] At 840 of method 800, the computer system, in response to detecting input pointing to the control and based on determining that the control corresponds to a second type of setting that is different from the first type of setting (e.g., as described above with respect to method 700), displays a second user interface object (e.g., a selectable user interface object, a user interface object that, when selected, causes the second type of setting to change and / or causes an output based on the second type of setting (e.g., by a second device and / or set of computer systems that is different from the first device and / or set of computer systems) to change (e.g., without causing an output based on the first type of setting to change)) that corresponds to the second type of setting (and does not correspond to the first type of setting). In some embodiments, the second user interface object is displayed simultaneously with the control. In some embodiments, before detecting input pointing to the control, the second user interface object is not displayed and the control is displayed, and in response to detecting input pointing to the control, the computer system displays the second user interface object and stops displaying the control. In some embodiments, the second user interface object is not displayed simultaneously with the first user interface object. In some embodiments, the second user interface object includes (and / or is displayed with) an indication corresponding to the second type of setting and does not include (and / or is not displayed with) an indication of the first type of setting. In some embodiments, a first user interface object includes (and / or is displayed with) an indication corresponding to a first type of settings and does not include (and / or is not displayed with) an indication of a second type of settings.

[0291] At 850 of method 800, the computer system, in response to detecting input pointing to the control and based on determining that the control corresponds to a second type of settings different from the first type of settings (e.g., as described above with respect to method 700), forgoes configuring the physical input mechanism to provide output in response to detecting input corresponding to a touch input on the physical input mechanism. Selecting whether to configure the physical input mechanism to provide output in response to detecting input pointing to the control to provide output in response to detecting input corresponding to a touch input on the physical input mechanism provides the user with control over how the physical input mechanism is configured, which provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls.

[0292] In some embodiments, the physical input mechanism (eg, 602) is a rotatable input mechanism (eg, 602) (eg, optionally rotatable and / or twistable).

[0293] In some embodiments, a computer system detects a first input directed to a physical input mechanism (e.g., a tap input, a double tap input, a press and hold input, a gaze input, a gaze with an air gesture input (e.g., an air tap input and / or a pointing input)), wherein the first input corresponds to a touch input on the physical input mechanism (e.g., 611e-611g). In some embodiments, in response to detecting the first input, the computer system: causes the physical input mechanism to provide an output (e.g., 611e-611g) in response to detecting an input corresponding to a touch input on the physical input mechanism (e.g., 662e-662g) when the first input is detected (e.g., 662e-662g), causes the physical input mechanism to provide an output (and, in some embodiments, causes the computer system and / or another device such as an external device to perform an operation) (e.g., as described above with respect to FIG. 6E to FIG. 6G and based on determining that the physical input mechanism is not configured to provide an output in response to detecting an input corresponding to a touch input (e.g., 611e-611g) on ​​the physical input mechanism when the first input is detected, abandoning causing the physical input mechanism to provide an output (e.g., as discussed above with respect to FIG. 6E to FIG. 6G (discussed above) (and, in some embodiments, causing the computer system and / or another device such as an external device to perform an operation). Causing a physical input mechanism to provide an output when a specified condition is met allows a computer system to automatically cause the physical input mechanism to provide feedback to a user (e.g., that an operation is being performed), which performs the operation without further user input when a set of conditions has been met and provides improved feedback.

[0294] In some embodiments, causing the physical input mechanism (e.g., 602) to provide an output (e.g., 662e and / or 662g) includes causing the physical input mechanism to vibrate (e.g., as described above with respect to FIG. 6E to FIG. 6G In some embodiments, causing the physical input mechanism to provide an output includes transmitting data representing the output to a processor that changes the content being output (e.g., audio, visual, and / or graphical content). Causing the physical input mechanism to vibrate when specified conditions are met allows the computer system to automatically cause the physical input mechanism to provide feedback to the user (e.g., that an operation is being performed), which performs the operation without further user input when the condition set has been met and provides improved feedback.

[0295] In some embodiments, in response to detecting the first input, the computing system: performs a first operation (e.g., as described above with respect to the first input) in response to determining that the physical input mechanism (e.g., 602) is configured to provide an output (e.g., 611e-611g) in response to detecting an input corresponding to a touch input (e.g., 662e-662g) on ​​the physical input mechanism when the first input is detected. FIG. 6E to FIG. 6Gand based on determining that the physical input mechanism is not configured to provide an output in response to detecting an input corresponding to a touch input on the physical input mechanism when the first input is detected, abandoning performing any operation (e.g., as described above with respect to FIG. 6E to FIG. 6G In some embodiments, in response to detecting the first input and in accordance with determining that the physical input mechanism is not configured to provide an output in response to detecting an input corresponding to a touch input on the physical input mechanism when the first input is detected, the computer system does not perform the first operation. Causing an operation to be performed when a specified condition is met allows the computer system to automatically cause the physical input mechanism to provide feedback to the user (e.g., that the operation is being performed) and allows the computer system to control one or more operations via the physical input mechanism, which performs the operation without further user input when a set of conditions has been met and provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls.

[0296] In some embodiments, performing the first operation includes transmitting an instruction to the corresponding device to perform a second operation that causes the output of the corresponding device to be adjusted (e.g., as described above with respect to FIG. 6E to FIG. 6G In some embodiments, the corresponding device is a part of the computer system and / or a subset of the computer system. In some embodiments, the corresponding device is external to the computer system. In some embodiments, the corresponding device is a device that is not directly connected (e.g., not physically connected, not coupled, and / or not directly wirelessly connected) to the physical input mechanism. Causing the first operation to be performed includes transmitting an instruction to the corresponding device to perform a second operation that causes the output of the corresponding device to be adjusted in response to detecting that the physical input mechanism is turned on, which provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls.

[0297] In some embodiments, the corresponding device is a speaker, and wherein performing the second operation includes adjusting playback of content output by the speaker (e.g., pausing music, playing music, skipping to the next track, and / or going to the previous track) (e.g., as described above with respect to Figure 6G In response to detecting the opening of a physical input mechanism to adjust the playback of content output by the speaker, this provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls.

[0298] In some embodiments, the second operation includes opening a door or closing a door (e.g., as described above with respect to FIG. 6E to FIG. 6G In some embodiments, the door is the corresponding device. In some embodiments, the corresponding device is a processor for the door, an actuator, and / or a hinge that opens or closes the door. The door is opened or closed in response to detecting the opening of the physical input mechanism, which provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls.

[0299] In some embodiments, displaying a first user interface object (e.g., 632, 642, 644, 646, 656, and / or 656) corresponding to a first setting includes replacing a third user interface object (e.g., 632, 642, 644, 646, 656, and / or 656) corresponding to a third type of setting with the first user interface object. In some embodiments, the third user interface object is replaced with another user interface object corresponding to a second type of setting.

[0300] In some embodiments, in response to detecting input pointing to a control (e.g., 611a1-611a3) and based on determining that the control corresponds to a fourth type of settings that is different from the first type of settings and the second type of settings (e.g., as described above with respect to method 700), the computer system configures the physical input mechanism (e.g., 602) to provide a second output (e.g., 662e and / or 662g) in response to detecting input corresponding to a touch input (e.g., 611e-611g) on ​​the physical input mechanism, wherein the second output is different from the output. In some embodiments, based on determining that the control corresponds to a fourth type of settings, the computer system displays a fourth user interface object corresponding to the fourth type of settings (e.g., a user interface object including one or more indications corresponding to the fourth type of settings (e.g., as described above with respect to method 700)) and does not display a user interface object corresponding to the first type of settings (e.g., a user interface object including one or more indications corresponding to the first type of settings) or a user interface object corresponding to the second type of settings (e.g., a user interface object including one or more indications corresponding to the second type of settings). Configuring the physical input mechanism to provide a second output in response to detecting an input corresponding to a touch input on the physical input mechanism, wherein the second output is different from the output in response to detecting an input directed to a control, allows a user to control how the physical input mechanism is configured, which provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls.

[0301] In some embodiments, in response to detecting input directed to a control (e.g., 611a1-611a3), the computer system: based on determining that the control corresponds to a fifth type of setting (e.g., which is different from the first type of setting and the second type of setting), configures the physical input mechanism (e.g., 602) so that the physical input mechanism is rotatable (e.g., in response to detecting input corresponding to rotation of the physical input mechanism); and based on determining that the control corresponds to a sixth type of setting that is different from the fifth type of setting (e.g., and / or different from the first type of setting and the second type of setting), configures the physical input mechanism so that the physical input mechanism is not rotatable. In some embodiments, based on determining that the control corresponds to a fourth type of setting, the computer system configures the physical input mechanism so that the physical input mechanism is not rotatable. Configuring the physical input mechanism so that the physical input mechanism is rotatable or not rotatable based on when specified conditions are met allows the computer system to automatically configure the physical input mechanism based on the type of setting selected to be adjusted, which performs operations without further user input when the condition set has been met and provides improved feedback to the user.

[0302] Note that the above description is relative to method 800 (eg, Figure 8 ) also apply in a similar manner to the methods described above and below. For example, method 700 optionally includes one or more features of the various methods described above with reference to method 800. For example, the physical input mechanism of method 800 can be the physical input mechanism of method 700. For the sake of brevity, these details are not repeated above or below.

[0303] Fig. 9 It is a flowchart illustrating a method for using a computer system to change the input in response to an input mechanism according to some embodiments. Method 900 is performed at a computer system (e.g., 100, 300, 500) communicating with a rotatable (e.g., hardware and / or non-displayed) input mechanism (e.g., a rotatable input mechanism, a crown, a knob, a dial, a physical and rotatable slider, and / or a rotatable hardware button). In some embodiments, the computer system is a watch, a phone, a tablet, a processor, a head-mounted display (HMD) device, and / or a personal computing device. In some embodiments, the computer system communicates with a display generation component (such as a display screen and / or a touch-sensitive display). In some embodiments, the computer system communicates with one or more cameras (e.g., one or more telephoto, wide-angle, and / or ultra-wide-angle cameras). Some operations in method 900 are optionally combined, the order of some operations is optionally changed, and some operations are optionally omitted.

[0304] As described below, method 900 provides an intuitive way to change the input to which a rotatable input mechanism responds. The method reduces the cognitive burden on the user to use the rotatable input mechanism, thereby creating a more efficient human-computer interface. For battery-powered computing devices, the user is enabled to use the rotatable input mechanism faster and more efficiently, saving power and increasing the time between battery charges.

[0305] At 910 of method 900, the computer system detects input directed to the control (e.g., a tap input and, in some embodiments, a non-tap input such as a swipe input, a mouse click, a button press, a gaze input, an air gesture input, and / or a gaze input with an air gesture input) (e.g., as described above with respect to method 700).

[0306] At 920 of method 900, in response to detecting input directed toward the control and in accordance with determining that the control corresponds to a first type of settings (e.g., as described above with respect to method 900), the computer system configures the rotatable input mechanism to cause the computer system to perform one or more operations in response to the first set of inputs directed toward the rotatable input mechanism (e.g., on the rotatable input mechanism and / or at one or more locations corresponding to the rotatable input mechanism), including: performing one or more operations in response to the first type of input (e.g., clockwise rotation of the physical input mechanism, counterclockwise rotation of the physical input mechanism, a tap on ... In one embodiment, the present invention relates to a method of performing a first operation by directing a gaze directed toward the rotatable input mechanism, performing a first operation by directing the gaze directed toward the rotatable input mechanism, performing a second operation by directing the gaze directed toward the rotatable input mechanism, performing a second operation by directing the gaze directed toward the rotatable input mechanism in response to a second type of input (e.g., a clockwise rotation of the physical input mechanism, a counterclockwise rotation of the physical input mechanism, a tap on the physical input mechanism, a gaze directed toward the physical input mechanism, a press and hold of the physical input mechanism, a double tap on the physical input mechanism, and / or a pull of the physical input mechanism), wherein the first operation is different from the second operation, and wherein the first type of input is different from the second type of input; and

[0307] At 930 of method 900, in response to detecting input directed to the control and based on determining that the control corresponds to a second type of settings different from the first type of settings (e.g., as described above with respect to method 900), the computer system configures the rotatable input mechanism to cause the computer system to perform one or more operations in response to a second set of inputs different from the first set of inputs directed to the rotatable input mechanism (e.g., detected on the rotatable input mechanism and / or detected at one or more locations corresponding to the rotatable input mechanism), including: performing a first operation in response to the first type of input being directed to the rotatable input mechanism; and forgoing performing an operation in response to the second type of input being directed to the rotatable input mechanism. In some embodiments, when forgoing performing the second operation in response to the second type of input being directed to the rotatable input mechanism, the computer system does not perform any operation in response to the second type of input being directed to the rotatable input mechanism.

[0308] In some embodiments, the amount (e.g., the total amount, total number, and / or total number of different types of inputs) of the first input set is greater than the amount (e.g., the total amount, total number, and / or total number of different types of inputs) of the second input set. FIG. 6A to FIG. 6G Selecting to configure the rotatable input mechanism to respond to a different number of inputs when a specified condition is met allows a computer system to automatically configure the rotatable input mechanism based on the type of setting that the rotatable input mechanism is configured to adjust, which performs the operation when the condition set has been met without requiring further user input and provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls.

[0309] In some embodiments, the first input set includes inputs corresponding to tap inputs (e.g., 611e-611g) (e.g., taps on a surface on the rotatable input mechanism and / or inputs that cause the rotatable input mechanism to transition from being pressed to being depressed and / or vice versa), and inputs corresponding to rotation inputs (e.g., 611b-611c) (e.g., twisting inputs on a surface of the rotatable input mechanism and / or inputs that cause the rotation input mechanism to rotate clockwise and / or counterclockwise relative to yaw, pitch, and / or roll in some embodiments). Selecting to configure the rotatable input mechanism to respond to the tap input and / or the rotation input when a specified condition is met allows the computer system to automatically configure the rotatable input mechanism based on the type of setting that the rotatable input mechanism is configured to adjust, which performs the operation when the condition set has been met without requiring further user input and provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls.

[0310] In some embodiments, the second input set includes inputs corresponding to rotational inputs (e.g., 611b-611c) and does not include inputs corresponding to tap inputs (e.g., 611e-611g). In some embodiments, the second input set includes inputs corresponding to tap inputs but does not include inputs corresponding to rotational inputs. In some embodiments, the fourth type of input is a rotational input and the second type of input is a tap input. Selecting to configure the rotatable input mechanism to respond to rotational input rather than tap input when specified conditions are met allows the computer system to automatically configure the rotatable input mechanism based on the type of setting that the rotatable input mechanism is configured to adjust, which performs operations without further user input when the condition set has been met and provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls.

[0311] In some embodiments, configuring the rotatable input mechanism (e.g., 602) to cause the computer system to perform one or more operations in response to the first set of inputs includes performing a third operation in response to a third type of input (e.g., 611b-611c and / or 611f-611g) being directed at the rotatable input mechanism; and configuring the rotatable input mechanism to cause the computer system to perform one or more operations in response to the second set of inputs includes performing a fourth operation in response to the third type of input being directed at the rotatable input mechanism, wherein the third operation (e.g., an operation performed in a first manner and / or at a first rate) is different from the fourth operation (e.g., an operation performed in a manner different from the first manner and / or at a rate (e.g., speed) different from the first rate). In some embodiments, the third type of input is an input corresponding to a rotational input or an input corresponding to a tap input, a press input, and / or a pull input. Configuring a rotatable input mechanism to cause a computer system to respond differently to an input when a specified condition is met allows a computer system to automatically configure the rotatable input mechanism based on the type of setting the rotatable input mechanism is configured to adjust, performing an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input and providing additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls.

[0312] In some embodiments, in response to detecting a rotational input: in accordance with determining that the rotatable input mechanism (e.g., 602) is configured to cause the computer system to perform one or more operations in response to a first set of inputs, performing a third operation (e.g., and / or performing the operation in a first manner) includes allowing the rotational input mechanism to move no more than a first amount (e.g., as described above with respect to the movement characteristics of method 700); and in accordance with determining that the rotatable input mechanism is configured to cause the computer system to perform one or more operations in response to a second set of inputs, performing a fourth operation (e.g., and / or performing the operation in a manner different from the first manner) includes allowing the rotational input mechanism to move no more than a second amount different from the first amount (e.g., as described above with respect to the movement characteristics in method 700). Configuring the rotatable input mechanism so that the rotatable input mechanism moves an amount based on a setting provides feedback to the user that a setting can only be set to a specific amount and allows the computer system to automatically configure the rotatable input mechanism based on the type of setting that the rotatable input mechanism is configured to adjust, which performs the operation without further user input when the condition set has been met, provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls, and provides feedback.

[0313] In some embodiments, in response to detecting an input directed to a control (e.g., 611a1-611a3) and based on determining that the control corresponds to a fourth type of setting that is different from the first type of setting and the second type of setting, the computer system configures the rotatable input mechanism (e.g., 602) to cause the computer system to perform one or more operations in response to the first set of inputs or the second set of inputs being directed to the rotatable input mechanism (e.g., 602). Configuring the rotatable input mechanism to cause the computer system to perform one or more operations in response to the first set of inputs or the second set of inputs being directed to the rotatable input mechanism when a specified condition is met allows the computer system to automatically configure the rotatable input mechanism based on the type of setting that the rotatable input mechanism is configured to adjust, performing the operation when the set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input and providing additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls.

[0314] In some embodiments, in response to detecting input directed to the control (e.g., 611a1-611a3) and based on determining that the control corresponds to a fifth type of setting that is different from the first type of setting and the second type of setting, the computer system configures the rotatable input mechanism (e.g., 602) to cause the computer system to perform one or more operations in response to a fourth input set directed to the rotatable input mechanism, wherein the fourth input set is different from the first input set and the second input set (e.g., regarding FIG. 6A to FIG. 6GConfiguring the rotatable input mechanism to cause the computer system to perform one or more operations in response to a fourth input set different from the first input set and the second input set being directed at the rotatable input mechanism when a specified condition is met allows the computer system to automatically configure the rotatable input mechanism based on the type of setting the rotatable input mechanism is configured to adjust, which performs the operation when the set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input and provides additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls.

[0315] In some embodiments, when the rotatable input mechanism is configured to cause the computer system to perform one or more operations in response to the first input set or the second input set being directed at the rotatable input mechanism, the computer system detects a change in movement of the computer system (e.g., the computer system is decelerating, the computer system has stopped, the computer system is accelerating, the computer system has started, determining that the computer system will decelerate and / or stop within a predetermined time period, and / or determining that the computer system will start and / or accelerate within a predetermined time period) (e.g., with respect to FIG. 6A to FIG. 6G In some embodiments, in response to detecting a change in movement of the computer system, the computer system configures the rotatable input mechanism to cause the computer system to perform one or more operations in response to a fifth input set being directed toward the rotatable input mechanism, wherein the fifth input set is different from the first input set and the second input set (e.g., with respect to FIG. 6A to FIG. 6G discussed).

[0316] Note that the above description is relative to method 900 (eg, Fig. 9 ) also apply in a similar manner to the methods described above. For example, method 800 optionally includes one or more features of the various methods described above with reference to method 900. For example, the physical input mechanism of method 800 can be the rotatable input mechanism of method 900. For the sake of brevity, these details are not repeated above.

[0317] FIG. 10A to FIG. 10D An exemplary user interface is illustrated to discuss techniques regarding how a computer can change the behavior of a rotatable input mechanism as the rotatable input mechanism approaches an end position. In particular, FIG. 10A to FIG. 10D A technique will be used to describe that the computer system 600 configures the rotatable input mechanism 602 to lock (e.g., suddenly have a large change in resistance) at an end position after rotating a maximum amount in one direction. Then, FIG. 10A to FIG. 10D Different techniques will be used to describe the configuration of the rotatable input mechanism 602 to provide a rubber band effect in conjunction with near-end positioning of the rotatable input mechanism 602. It should be understood that the techniques described below may be used in any combination thereof (e.g., for the same setup), and other similar ways of performing the techniques described below are contemplated.

[0318] FIG. 10A to FIG. 10D A technique for describing that the computer system 600 configures the rotatable input mechanism 602 to lock (eg, suddenly without a greater change in resistance) at an end position after being rotated a maximum amount in one direction. Fig. 10A Shows an example Figure 6B The brightness setting user interface 630 of the computer system 600. Fig. 10A In FIG. 6 , the computer system 600 detects a clockwise rotation input 611e on the rotatable input mechanism 602. Fig. 10B As illustrated, in response to detecting the rotation input 611e, the computer system 600 moves the current brightness value indicator 634 to the right on the brightness slider 632, which causes the current value of the brightness setting to be set to the new value. As the computer system 600 moves the current brightness value indicator 634 to the right, the computer system 600 provides the above-described Figure 6B The set of movement characteristics discussed (e.g., when the rotatable input mechanism 602 is Figure 6B When rotating between the positioning 620b2-620b3). Fig. 10B When the indicator 634 reaches the maximum value of the brightness setting and / or when the rotatable input mechanism 602 is rotated to the end position of the brightness setting, the computer system 600 causes the rotatable input mechanism 602 to provide a sudden and high level of resistance. Fig. 10B , in this scenario, the rotatable input mechanism 602 cannot be rotated further in the clockwise direction because the maximum value of the brightness setting has been reached and the rotatable input mechanism 602 is configured to lock and / or provide a high resistance level at this setting (e.g., end position). In some embodiments, the high resistance level is not the maximum resistance level that the rotatable input mechanism 602 can provide, but rather the resistance level that the rotatable input mechanism 602 outputs so that it cannot rotate in one or more directions. In some embodiments, in Fig. 10B , the computer system 600 detects the rotation of the rotatable input mechanism 602 in the counterclockwise direction, and in response to detecting the counterclockwise rotation of the rotatable input mechanism 602, the computer system 600 suddenly locks the rotatable input mechanism 602 at a position corresponding to the minimum value of the brightness setting (e.g., the end position).

[0319] It should be understood that the computer system 600 dynamically configures the rotatable input mechanism 602 to lock at one or more end positions based on the type of setting currently being adjusted. In some embodiments, if the computer system 600 is displaying a user interface for different types of settings (e.g., temperature settings, volume settings, and / or water flow settings) and / or if the rotatable input mechanism 602 is configured to change different types of settings in response to being rotated, the computer system 600 can configure the rotatable input mechanism 602 so that the rotatable input mechanism 602 locks at the end position of the brightness setting and requires a shorter (or longer) amount of movement to reach the end position. For example, for a first type of setting the computer system 600 can cause the rotatable input mechanism 602 to lock at a position corresponding to zero degrees of rotation and a position corresponding to 90 degrees of rotation, while for a second type of setting the computer system 600 can cause the rotatable input mechanism 602 to lock at a position corresponding to zero degrees of rotation and a position corresponding to 300 degrees of rotation. In some embodiments, the computer system 600 allows the rotatable input mechanism 602 to rotate different amounts for different types of settings before locking the rotatable input mechanism 602 at the end position. Thus, in some embodiments, the computer system 600 dynamically controls the degree to which the rotatable input mechanism 602 can be rotated depending on the type of setting selected. In some embodiments, the computer system 600 provides a tactile output (e.g., a strong tactile output and / or a strongest tactile output provided by the computer system 600 as the rotatable input mechanism 602 is moved to a particular setting) or causes the rotatable input mechanism 602 to provide a tactile output as the rotatable input mechanism 602 is rotated to a position corresponding to the end position. In some embodiments, the computer system 600 provides a tactile output or causes the rotatable input mechanism 602 to provide a tactile output before being rotated to a position corresponding to the end position (e.g., within a predetermined distance of being rotated to a position corresponding to the end position).

[0320] FIG. 10A to FIG. 10D Different techniques are used to describe that the rotatable input mechanism 602 is configured to provide a rubber band effect in conjunction with the rotatable input mechanism 602 reaching an end position. Fig. 10A A computer system 600 is illustrated that displays a brightness setting user interface. Fig. 10A In FIG. 6 , the computer system 600 detects a clockwise rotation input 611e on the rotatable input mechanism 602. Fig. 10BAs illustrated, in response to detecting the rotational input 611e, the computer system 600 moves the current brightness value indicator 634 to the right on the brightness slider 632, which causes the current value of the brightness setting to be set to the new value. However, rather than locking the rotatable input mechanism 602 at the endpoint position as discussed in the above scenario, the computer system 600 may allow the rotatable input mechanism 602 to rotate further in this scenario. In this scenario, as the rotatable input mechanism 602 is further rotated in the clockwise direction, the computer system 600 causes the rotatable input mechanism 602 to provide a set of different resistances, wherein the rotatable input mechanism 602 becomes more difficult to rotate as the rotatable input mechanism 602 is further rotated in the clockwise direction. In other words, the computer system 600 causes the rotatable input mechanism 602 to increase the level of resistance provided as the rotatable input mechanism 602 is further rotated past the endpoint position. In Fig. 10C , the computer system 600 detects further rotation of the rotatable input mechanism 602 in the clockwise direction and allows the rotatable input mechanism 602 to continue to rotate (albeit more difficultly) until the rotatable input mechanism 602 has rotated a predetermined distance past the end position. Fig. 10C As illustrated, the computer system 600 displays a current brightness value indicator 634 to the right of the brightness slider 632 to indicate that the rotatable input mechanism 602 has been rotated past the maximum value of the brightness setting. When the computer system 600 displays the current brightness value indicator 634 to the right of the brightness slider 632, the computer system 600 does not continue to cause the output of a device (e.g., such as a porch light or a kitchen light) to be adjusted because the current value of the brightness has reached the maximum value. Instead, the computer system 600 displays the current brightness value indicator 634 to the right of the brightness slider 632 to indicate that the rotatable input mechanism 602 has been rotated too far (e.g., past the end value) (e.g., and in some embodiments, will bounce back). In some embodiments, rather than displaying the current brightness value indicator 634 to the right of the brightness slider 632, the computer system 600 continues to rotate the rotatable input mechanism 602 at a position corresponding to the maximum value (e.g., Fig. 10B The current brightness value indicator 634 is displayed on the brightness slider 632 at the current brightness value indicator 634 position in the image, while allowing the rotatable input mechanism 602 to continue to rotate (although more difficult to rotate) until the rotatable input mechanism 602 has rotated a predetermined distance beyond the end position.

[0321] exist Fig. 10C , the rotatable input mechanism 602 has been rotated a predetermined distance (e.g., a non-zero distance) beyond the end position; therefore, the computer system 600 causes the rotatable input mechanism 602 to rebound in the counterclockwise direction (e.g., when the rotatable input mechanism 602 is released or automatically, regardless of whether the rotatable input mechanism 602 has been released), so that the rotatable input mechanism 602 returns to the position corresponding to the end position. Fig. 10D The end point of the positioning. FIG. 10B to FIG. 10C , the computer system 600 may provide and / or cause the rotatable input mechanism 602 to provide a set of tactile outputs that increase in intensity as the rotatable mechanism 602 increases the level of resistance provided when it is rotated past the endpoint position. In some embodiments, the output of each sequential tactile in the tactile output set becomes longer as the rotatable mechanism 602 increases the level of resistance provided when it is rotated past the endpoint position. In some embodiments, the tactile output set begins to be output and / or the physical mechanism 602 begins to increase the level of resistance provided when the rotatable input mechanism 602 is at a position prior to the endpoint position. In some embodiments, at FIG. 10C to FIG. 10D , the computer system 600 may provide and / or cause the rotatable input mechanism 602 to provide a set of tactile outputs that decrease in intensity as the rotatable input mechanism 602 rebounds to the endpoint positioning. In some embodiments, the computer system 600 does not cause the set of tactile outputs that decrease in intensity to be provided as the rotatable input mechanism 602 rebounds to the endpoint positioning. In some embodiments, the level of resistance provided is determined based on the speed at which the rotatable input mechanism 602 rotates before and / or after reaching the endpoint positioning. In some embodiments, the computer system 600 causes the rotatable input mechanism 602 to increase the level of resistance provided more quickly as the rotatable input mechanism 602 is rotated toward and / or past the endpoint positioning more quickly (or to increase the level of resistance provided more slowly if the rotatable input mechanism 602 is rotated more slowly). In some embodiments, if the rotatable input mechanism 602 rotates toward and / or past the endpoint positioning more quickly, the rotatable input mechanism 602 rebounds toward the endpoint positioning more quickly (e.g., in FIG. 10C to FIG. 10D). In some embodiments, the rotatable input mechanism 602 rebounds faster when the rotatable input mechanism 602 rotates further beyond the end position, and rebounds slower when the rotatable input mechanism 602 does not rotate that far beyond the end position. In some embodiments, the computer system 600 outputs a set of sounds that increase in pitch as the rotatable input mechanism 602 rotates toward and / or beyond the end position, and the computer system 600 plays different sounds as the rotatable input mechanism 602 is rebounding into the end position. In some embodiments, the sounds output when the rotatable input mechanism 602 rotates toward and / or beyond the end position increase in volume, pitch, and / or tone as the rotatable input mechanism 602 rotates further beyond the end position. In some embodiments, the sounds output when the rotatable input mechanism 602 is rebounding decrease in volume, pitch, and / or tone as the rotatable input mechanism 602 is closer to returning to the end position. In some embodiments, after rebounding to the end position, the computer system 600 causes a strong tactile and / or audible output to indicate that the rotatable input mechanism 602 has returned to the end position. In some embodiments, to rebound, the computer system 600 causes the rotatable input mechanism 602 to maintain and / or increase the level of resistance provided in the direction opposite to the rotation (e.g., increasing or maintaining the level of resistance provided in the counterclockwise direction when the rotatable input mechanism 602 is being rotated clockwise), so that the rotatable input mechanism 602 rotates back when a smaller rotational force is applied in the rotational direction.

[0322] exist Fig. 10D In response to detecting the counterclockwise rotation, the computer system 600 causes the rotatable input mechanism 602 to provide the above-mentioned Fig. 10B The movement characteristics are set until the rotatable input mechanism 602 is in a position corresponding to the minimum value of the brightness setting. In some embodiments, as the rotatable input mechanism 602 approaches the position corresponding to the minimum value of the brightness setting, the computer system 600 performs the following operations as described above with respect to FIG. 10A to FIG. 10DThe computer system 600 may provide and / or cause the rotatable input mechanism 602 to provide similar resistance levels, tactile outputs, and sounds as described above. It should be understood that the computer system 600 may cause the rotatable input mechanism 602 to operate as described above in other scenarios. As an example, the rotatable input mechanism 602 may be used to scroll a web page when rotated in a clockwise (or counterclockwise) direction, and upon reaching the end of the web page, the rotatable input mechanism 602 may increase the resistance level and intensity of the tactile output provided until the edge of the web page is shown and cause the rotatable input mechanism 602 to rebound when a predetermined amount of visual indication that the user has scrolled past the end of the web page is displayed (or a predetermined distance has been traveled in the scrolling direction (or the opposite direction) beyond a predetermined distance). As another example, the rotatable input mechanism 602 may be used to scroll a list of items when rotated in a clockwise (or counterclockwise) direction and upon reaching the end of the list of items, the rotatable input mechanism 602 may increase the intensity and resistance level of the tactile output provided until the last item is reached and cause the rotatable input mechanism 602 to rebound when a predetermined amount of visual indication that the user has scrolled past the last item in the list (or is at the end of the list) is displayed. FIG. 10A to FIG. 10B And as discussed above for providing different locking positions for end values ​​based on settings, the computer system 600 can dynamically initiate a rubber band effect at different end positions based on the type of setting that the computer system 600 is configured to adjust by the rotatable input mechanism 602 .

[0323] Fig.11 It is a flowchart illustrating a method for changing the locked positioning of an input mechanism according to some embodiments. Method 1100 is performed at a computer system (e.g., 100, 300, 500, and / or 600) communicating with a physical (e.g., hardware and / or non-displayed) input mechanism (e.g., a hardware input mechanism, a rotatable input mechanism, a crown, a knob, a dial, a physical slider, and / or a hardware button). In some embodiments, the computer system is a watch, a phone, a tablet, a processor, a head-mounted display (HMD) device, and / or a personal computing device. In some embodiments, the physical input mechanism is part of a platform such as a vehicle (e.g., a car and / or a boat) and / or a smart home device. In some embodiments, the input detected at the physical input mechanism causes one or more settings such as temperature, volume, window opening, window tint, cabin light brightness, etc. to be updated. In some embodiments, the computer system communicates with a display generation component (such as a display screen and / or a touch-sensitive display). In some embodiments, the computer system communicates with one or more cameras (e.g., one or more telephoto, wide-angle, and / or ultra-wide-angle cameras). Some operations in method 1100 are optionally combined, the order of some operations is optionally changed, and some operations are optionally omitted.

[0324] As described below, method 1100 provides an intuitive way to change the locking position of a physical input mechanism. The method reduces the cognitive burden on the user to use the physical input mechanism, thereby creating a more efficient human-computer interface. For battery-powered computing devices, users can use the physical input mechanism faster and more efficiently, saving power and increasing the time interval between battery charges.

[0325] At 1110 of method 1100 , the computer system detects movement of a physical input mechanism from a first position and in a first direction (and / or detects a request to move the physical input mechanism).

[0326] At 1120 of method 1100, while the physical input mechanism is moving in the first direction, the computer system, in response to detecting movement of the physical input mechanism from the first position and in the first direction (e.g., rotational, horizontal, vertical, yaw movement, inward movement, outward movement, pitch movement, and / or roll movement), and in accordance with determining that the movement of the physical input mechanism is configured to change a first type of setting (e.g., a temperature setting, a fan setting, a heating element setting, a volume setting, a brightness setting, a light setting, a contrast setting, a television setting, a cabin setting, a door setting (e.g., a garage door setting, a front door setting, and / or a rear door setting) and / or does not indicate that the physical input mechanism is to be configured differently and / or to set the physical setting to a different set of movement characteristics. The input mechanism is simultaneously configured to change a first type of setting and / or the physical input mechanism is configured to change a first type of setting), causing the physical input mechanism to stop moving in the first direction (e.g., while the physical input mechanism is moving) after reaching a second position (e.g., a position in a first direction relative to the first position) (e.g., a position of a rotatable input mechanism, a position of an indication displayed on a display generating component, a position on a user interface object (e.g., a scale with one or more indications of values ​​for settings) and / or the physical input mechanism is rotated a first amount) (e.g., without stopping after reaching a third position (e.g., as described below)), wherein the second position is a first distance (e.g., an arc distance / length or a straight distance / length) from the first position.

[0327] At 1130 of method 1100, while the physical input mechanism is moving in the first direction, the computer system is responsive to detecting movement of the physical input mechanism from the first position and in the first direction (e.g., rotational, horizontal, vertical, yaw movement, inward movement, outward movement, pitch movement, and / or roll movement), and based on determining that the movement of the physical input mechanism is configured to change a second type of setting different from the first type of setting (e.g., temperature setting, fan setting, heating element setting, volume setting, brightness setting, light setting, contrast setting, television setting, cabin setting, door setting (e.g., garage door setting, front door The invention also provides a method of causing the physical input mechanism to stop moving in a first direction (e.g., when the physical input mechanism is moving and does not stop moving after reaching a second position) after reaching a third position (e.g., a position of a rotatable input mechanism, a position of an indication displayed on a display generating component, and / or a second amount by which the physical input mechanism is rotated), wherein the third position is a second distance from the first position (in the first direction), and wherein the first distance is different from the second distance. In some embodiments, the second position of the physical input mechanism is between the first position and the third position. In some embodiments, the third position is between the first position and the second position. Causing the physical input mechanism to stop moving in a position based on a specified condition allows the computer system to automatically configure the physical input mechanism to lock in a position based on the type of setting that the physical input mechanism can be used to adjust, which performs the operation without further user input when the condition set has been met and provides improved feedback to the user and provides feedback about the setting.

[0328] In some embodiments, the second position corresponds to a minimum value for a setting of the first type (e.g., 0, 0%, off, very low, low, and / or inactive). In some embodiments, the third position corresponds to a minimum value for a setting of the second type. In some embodiments, the minimum value for a setting of the first type is different from the minimum value for a setting of the second type. In some embodiments, when an indication of a current value (e.g., a mark (e.g., a shape (e.g., a circle, a square, a triangle), a highlight) is at and / or near a second position, the value of a setting of the first type is set to a minimum value of the setting of the first type. In some embodiments, when an indication of the current value is at a third position, the value of a setting of the second type is set to a minimum value of the setting of the second type. In some embodiments, the second position (e.g., corresponding to the minimum value) is a position to the left of a scale indicating a range of values ​​for the setting of the first type, and the third position (e.g., corresponding to the minimum value) is a position to the left of a scale indicating a range of values ​​for the setting of the second type (e.g., 612, 614, and / or 616). Causing the physical input mechanism to stop moving in the minimum position based on a specified condition allows the computer system to automatically configure the physical input mechanism to lock at a position based on the type of setting that the physical input mechanism can be used to adjust, which performs an operation without further user input when a set of conditions has been met and provides improved feedback to the user and provides feedback about the setting.

[0329] In some embodiments, the second positioning corresponds to a maximum value (e.g., 100, 100%, on, very high, high, and / or active) of a setting of the first type (e.g., 612, 614, and / or 616). In some embodiments, the third positioning corresponds to a maximum value of a setting of the second type (e.g., 612, 614, and / or 616). In some embodiments, the maximum value of the setting of the first type is different from the maximum value of the setting of the second type. In some embodiments, when the indication of the current value is at and / or near the second positioning, the value of the setting of the first type is set to the maximum value of the setting of the first type. In some embodiments, when the indication of the current value is at the third positioning, the value of the setting of the second type is set to the maximum value of the setting of the second type. In some embodiments, the second positioning (e.g., corresponding to the maximum value) is a positioning to the right of the scale indicating the range of values ​​of the setting of the first type, and the third positioning (e.g., corresponding to the maximum value) is a positioning to the right of the scale indicating the range of values ​​of the setting of the second type. Causing a physical input mechanism to stop moving in a maximum position based on specified conditions allows a computer system to automatically configure the physical input mechanism to lock in a position based on the type of setting that the physical input mechanism can be used to adjust, which performs the operation without further user input when the set of conditions has been met and provides improved feedback to the user and feedback regarding the setting.

[0330] In some embodiments, the physical input mechanism (e.g., 602) is a rotational input mechanism (e.g., and / or is optionally and / or selectively rotatable and / or twistable (e.g., when the physical input mechanism is configured to be rotatable and / or twistable). Stopping the physical input mechanism from rotating in a position based on a specified condition allows the computer system to automatically configure the physical input mechanism to lock in a position based on the type of setting that the physical input mechanism can be used to adjust, which performs the operation without further user input when the set of conditions has been met and provides improved feedback to the user and provides feedback about the setting.

[0331] In some embodiments, when the physical input mechanism (e.g., 602) is configured to change a first type of setting (e.g., 612, 614, and / or 616), the physical input mechanism is configured to stop moving in the first direction after reaching the second position. In some embodiments, when the physical input mechanism is configured to change a first type of setting (e.g., 612, 614, and / or 616), the computer system detects a request to configure the physical input mechanism to change a third type of setting (e.g., 612, 614, and / or 616) that is different from the first type of setting and the second type of setting. In some embodiments, as part of detecting the request to configure the physical input mechanism to change the third type of setting, the computer system detects an input (e.g., a tap input and, in some embodiments, a non-tap input, such as a swipe input, a mouse click, a button press, a gaze input, an air gesture input, and / or a gaze input with an air gesture input) directed to the control (e.g., at a location corresponding to the control and / or on the control). In some embodiments, the control is a user interface object. In some embodiments, the computer system displays the control on a user interface. In some embodiments, the control is a physical control that is not displayed. In some embodiments, the control is a setting control (e.g., a temperature control, a volume control, a fan control, and / or a heating element control (e.g., a heating pad control, a water heating element control, and / or a seat heating element control)). In some embodiments, the control is the value of the setting that is not displayed. In some embodiments, the computer system displays the control on a user interface that does not indicate (e.g., via text and / or symbols) that the characteristics of the physical input mechanism will change (e.g., however, in some embodiments, indicates that one or more other settings (e.g., volume, temperature, fan, and / or heating element) will change). In some embodiments, the control is an optional user interface object. In some embodiments, in response to detecting a request to configure the physical input mechanism (e.g., 602) to change the setting of the third type, the computer system configures the physical input mechanism to stop moving in the first direction after reaching the fourth position (e.g., without stopping moving after reaching the second position). In some embodiments, the fourth position is different from the second position (and in some embodiments, different from the first position and the third position). In some embodiments, the distance between the fourth position and the first position is greater than or less than the distance between the second position and the first position. Configuring the physical input mechanism to stop moving in the first direction after reaching a fourth position in response to detecting a request to configure the physical input mechanism to change a third type of setting allows the user to control the locked position of the physical input mechanism by selecting different settings, which provides the user with more control over the user interface without cluttering the user interface.

[0332] In some embodiments, when the physical input mechanism is configured to change a first type of setting (e.g., 612, 614, and / or 616), the physical input mechanism is configured to stop moving in a second direction different from the first direction (e.g., opposite to the first direction and / or opposite to the first direction (e.g., counterclockwise to clockwise)) after reaching a fifth position. In some embodiments, in response to detecting a request to configure the physical input mechanism to change a third type of setting, the computer system configures the physical input mechanism (e.g., 602) to stop moving in the second direction after reaching the fifth position. In some embodiments, the fifth position is different from the fourth position (and in some embodiments, the first position, the second position, and / or the third position) (e.g., a position that is farther away from the position and / or less away from the position) (e.g., while the physical input mechanism continues to be configured to stop moving in the first direction after reaching the first position, the second position, the third position, or the fourth position). Configuring the physical input mechanism to stop moving in the second direction after reaching a fifth position allows the computer system to automatically configure the physical input mechanism to lock at positions in different directions based on the type of setting the physical input mechanism can be used to adjust, which performs the operation without further user input when a set of conditions has been met and provides improved feedback to the user and provides feedback about the setting.

[0333] In some embodiments, in response to detecting a request to configure the physical input mechanism to change a third type of setting (e.g., 612, 614, and / or 616), the computer system configures the physical input mechanism to change the third type of setting. In some embodiments, when the physical input mechanism (e.g., 602) is configured to change the third type of setting, the computer system detects movement of the physical input mechanism in a corresponding direction (e.g., a first direction or a second direction; and / or a counterclockwise direction or a clockwise direction) from a corresponding position. In some embodiments, as part of detecting movement of the physical input mechanism, the computer system detects that the physical input mechanism is being turned, rotated, and / or twisted. In some embodiments, the computer system detects input / gestures (e.g., flick air gestures, press and hold inputs, click and drag inputs, click and rotate inputs, pinch and rotate air gestures, and / or gaze inputs) as part of detecting movement of the physical input mechanism. In some embodiments, in response to detecting movement of the physical input mechanism in the corresponding direction from the corresponding position (and, for example, when the physical input mechanism is configured to change a setting of the third type) and when the physical input mechanism is moving in the corresponding direction, the computer system: based on determining that the corresponding direction is the first direction, causes the physical input mechanism (e.g., 602) to stop moving in the corresponding direction after reaching the third position (e.g., without causing the physical input mechanism to stop moving in the corresponding direction after reaching the fifth position); and based on determining that the corresponding direction is the second direction, causes the physical input mechanism to stop moving in the corresponding direction after reaching the fifth position (e.g., without causing the physical input mechanism to stop moving in the corresponding direction after reaching the third position). Causing the physical input mechanism to stop moving in the corresponding direction after reaching the third position or causing the physical input mechanism to stop moving in the corresponding direction after reaching the fifth position allows the computer system to provide feedback to the user that end values ​​have been reached for multiple rotation directions.

[0334] In some embodiments, based on determining that the movement of the physical input mechanism is configured to change a first type of setting, the computer system causes the output of a first tactile sensation when reaching a second position (e.g., without causing the output of a tactile sensation when reaching a third position). In some embodiments, based on determining that the movement of the physical input mechanism is configured to change a second type of setting, the computer system causes the output of a second tactile sensation when reaching a third position (e.g., without causing the output of a tactile sensation when reaching the second position). In some embodiments, the first tac...
