[0027] 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.

[0028] It is desirable to provide an electronic device that provides an efficient method for presenting indications of changes to shared documents and / or to users in an instant messaging conversation while displaying an instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, the electronic device is capable of accessing a shared document and an instant messaging conversation associated with the shared document. In some embodiments, in response to detecting changes to a shared document and / or to a change to a user capable of accessing an instant messaging conversation, the electronic device presents indications of the changes in a user interface that includes the instant messaging conversation. Such techniques can reduce the cognitive burden on users using such devices. In addition, such techniques can reduce processor power and battery power that would otherwise be wasted on redundant user input.

[0029] It is desirable to provide an electronic device for presenting an efficient method of updating the option of a user who can access a shared document and / or an instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, the electronic device receives an input for adding a user to a shared document or an instant messaging conversation or removing a user from a shared document or an instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, in response to receiving an input, the electronic device presents a selectable option, which, when selected, causes the electronic device to add a user to another in a shared document or an instant messaging conversation or remove a user from another in a shared document or an instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, adding or removing a user from both an instant messaging conversation and a shared document, rather than adding or removing a user from one or the other, can make the user group that can access a shared document and an instant messaging conversation be the same. Such technology can alleviate the cognitive burden of the user who uses such equipment. In addition, such technology can reduce the processor power and battery power that are otherwise wasted on redundant user inputs.

[0030] There is a need for electronic devices that provide efficient methods for participating in and sharing documents associated with a communication session. In some embodiments, when participating in a communication session (such as a phone call or a video conference), the electronic device displays a selectable option that, when selected, causes the electronic device to display a shared document. In some embodiments, the electronic device shares a document using a communication session that includes a selectable option to access the shared document. Such techniques can reduce the cognitive burden on users using such devices. In addition, such techniques can reduce processor power and battery power that would otherwise be wasted on redundant user input.

[0031] Although the following description uses the terms "first", "second", etc. to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by the terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another element. For example, a first touch can be named a second touch and similarly a second touch can be named a first touch without departing from the scope of the various described embodiments. Both the first touch and the second touch are touches, but they are not the same touch.

[0032] The terms used in the description of various described embodiments herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments, and are not intended to be limited. As used in the description of various described embodiments and in the appended claims, the singular forms "one" and "the" are intended to also include plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will also be understood that the term "and / or" used herein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more items in the associated listed items. It will also be understood that the terms "including" and / or "comprising" when used in this specification specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components and / or their grouping.

[0033] 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.

[0034] Embodiments of electronic devices, user interfaces for such devices, and associated processes for using such devices are described herein. In some embodiments, the device is a portable communication device, such as a mobile phone, that also includes other functions, such as a PDA and / or a music player function. Exemplary embodiments of portable multifunction devices include, but are not limited to, the Apple Watch from Apple Inc. (Cupertino, California). Devices, iPod Equipment and Device. Other portable electronic devices, such as laptops or tablet computers with touch-sensitive surfaces (e.g., touch screen displays and / or touch pads) are optionally used. 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).

[0035] 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.

[0036] 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.

[0037] 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.

[0038] 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.

[0039] 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).

[0040] 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.

[0041] 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.

[0042] Memory 102 optionally includes high-speed random access memory, and optionally also includes non-volatile memory, such as one or more disk storage devices, flash memory devices or other non-volatile solid-state memory devices. Memory controller 122 optionally controls other components of device 100 to access memory 102.

[0043] The peripheral device interface 118 can be used to couple the input peripheral devices and output peripheral devices of the device to the CPU 120 and the memory 102. The one or more processors 120 run or execute various software programs and / or instruction sets stored in the memory 102 to perform various functions of the device 100 and process data. In some embodiments, the peripheral device interface 118, the CPU 120, and the memory controller 122 are optionally implemented on a single chip such as the chip 104. In some other embodiments, they are optionally implemented on separate chips.

[0044] RF (radio frequency) circuit 108 receives and sends RF signals, also referred to as electromagnetic signals. RF circuit 108 converts electrical signals into / converts electromagnetic signals into electrical signals, and communicates with communication networks and other communication devices via electromagnetic signals. RF circuit 108 optionally includes well-known circuits for performing these functions, including but not limited to antenna systems, RF transceivers, one or more amplifiers, tuners, one or more oscillators, digital signal processors, codec chipsets, user identity modules (SIM) cards, memories, and the like. RF circuit 108 optionally communicates with networks and other devices via wireless communications, such as the Internet (also referred to as the World Wide Web (WWW)), intranets, and / or wireless networks (such as cellular telephone networks, wireless local area networks (LANs), and / or metropolitan area networks (MANs)). RF circuit 108 optionally includes well-known circuits for detecting near field communications (NFC) fields, such as through short-range communication radio components. Wireless communication optionally uses any of a variety of communication standards, protocols and technologies, including, but not limited to, Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), Enhanced Data GSM Environment (EDGE), High Speed ​​Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), High Speed ​​Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA), Evolution, Data-Only (EV-DO), HSPA, HSPA+, Dual Cell HSPA (DC-HSPDA), Long Term Evolution (LTE), Near Field Communication (NFC), Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (W-CDMA), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE), Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) (e.g., IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11d), IEEE 802.11e, IEEE 802.11f, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11g). 11n and / or IEEE 802.11ac), Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), Wi-MAX, email protocols (e.g., Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) and / or Post Office Protocol (POP)), instant messaging (e.g., Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP), Session Initiation Protocol for Instant Messaging and Presence Utilizing Extensions (SIMPLE), Instant Messaging and Presence Service (IMPS)) and / or Short Message Service (SMS), or any other suitable communication protocol including communication protocols that have not been developed as of the filing date of this document.

[0045] The audio circuit 110, speaker 111, and microphone 113 provide an audio interface between a user and the device 100. The audio circuit 110 receives audio data from the peripheral device interface 118, converts the audio data into electrical signals, and transmits the electrical signals to the speaker 111. The speaker 111 converts the electrical signals into sound waves audible to humans. The audio circuit 110 also receives electrical signals converted from sound waves by the microphone 113. The audio circuit 110 converts the electrical signals into audio data and transmits the audio data to the peripheral device interface 118 for processing. The audio data is optionally retrieved from and / or transmitted to the memory 102 and / or the RF circuit 108 by the peripheral device interface 118. In some embodiments, the audio circuit 110 also includes a headset jack (e.g., Figure 2 The headset jack provides an interface between the audio circuit 110 and a removable audio input / output peripheral device, such as an output-only headset or a headset having both output (e.g., a single or dual-ear headset) and input (e.g., a microphone).

[0046] The I / O subsystem 106 couples input / output peripherals on the device 100, such as a touch screen 112 and other input control devices 116, to a peripheral device interface 118. The I / O subsystem 106 optionally includes a display controller 156, an optical sensor controller 158, an intensity sensor controller 159, a tactile feedback controller 161, and one or more input controllers 160 for other input or control devices. The one or more input controllers 160 receive / send electrical signals from other input control devices 116. The other input control devices 116 optionally include physical buttons (e.g., push buttons, rocker buttons, etc.), dials, slide switches, joysticks, click wheels, etc. In some alternative embodiments, the input controller 160 is optionally coupled to any of the following (or none of the following): a keyboard, an infrared port, a USB port, and a pointing device such as a mouse. One or more buttons (e.g., Figure 2 208) optionally includes an increase / decrease button for volume control of the speaker 111 and / or the microphone 113. The one or more buttons optionally include a push button (e.g., Figure 2 206).

[0047] A quick press of the push button optionally disengages the lock of the touch screen 112 or optionally begins the process of unlocking the device using gestures on the touch screen, as described in U.S. Patent Application 11 / 322,549, filed on December 23, 2005, entitled "Unlocking a Device by Performing Gestures on an Unlock Image" (i.e., U.S. Patent No. 7,657,849), which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. A long press of the push button (e.g., 206) optionally turns the device 100 on or off. The functions of one or more buttons are optionally user-customizable. The touch screen 112 is used to implement virtual buttons or soft buttons and one or more soft keyboards.

[0048] The touch-sensitive display 112 provides an input interface and an output interface between the device and the user. The display controller 156 receives electrical signals from the touch screen 112 and / or sends electrical signals to the touch screen. The touch screen 112 displays visual output to the user. The visual output optionally includes graphics, text, icons, videos, and any combination thereof (collectively referred to as "graphics"). In some embodiments, some or all of the visual output optionally corresponds to user interface objects.

[0049] The touch screen 112 has a touch-sensitive surface, sensor, or sensor group that accepts input from a user based on tactile and / or haptic contact. The touch screen 112 and display controller 156 (together with any associated modules and / or instruction sets in memory 102) detect contact (and any movement or interruption of the contact) on the touch screen 112 and convert the detected contact into interaction with a user interface object (e.g., one or more soft keys, icons, web pages, or images) displayed on the touch screen 112. In an exemplary embodiment, the point of contact between the touch screen 112 and the user corresponds to the user's finger.

[0050] The touch screen 112 optionally uses LCD (liquid crystal display) technology, LPD (light emitting polymer display) technology, or LED (light emitting diode) technology, although other display technologies are used in other embodiments. The touch screen 112 and display controller 156 optionally use any of a variety of touch sensing technologies now known or later developed, including but not limited to capacitive, resistive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave technologies, as well as other proximity sensor arrays or other elements for determining one or more points of contact with the touch screen 112 to detect contact and any movement or interruption thereof. In an exemplary embodiment, projected mutual capacitance sensing technology is used, such as in the Apple ® from Apple Inc. (Cupertino, California). and iPod The technology used in

[0051] The touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of touch screen 112 is optionally similar to the multi-touch-sensitive touchpad described in the following U.S. Patents: 6,323,846 (Westerman et al.), 6,570,557 (Westerman et al.), and / or 6,677,932 (Westerman et al.), and / or U.S. Patent Publication 2002 / 0015024A1, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. However, touch screen 112 displays visual output from device 100, while a touch-sensitive touchpad does not provide visual output.

[0052] The touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of the touch screen 112 is described in the following applications: (1) U.S. patent application No. 11 / 381,313, filed on May 2, 2006, "Multipoint Touch Surface Controller"; (2) U.S. patent application No. 10 / 840,862, filed on May 6, 2004, "Multipoint Touchscreen"; (3) U.S. patent application No. 10 / 903,964, filed on July 30, 2004, "Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices"; (4) U.S. patent application No. 11 / 048,264, filed on January 31, 2005, "Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices"; (5) U.S. patent application No. 11 / 038,590, filed on January 18, 2005, "Mode-Based Graphical User Interfaces For Touch Sensitive Input Devices”; (6) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 228,758, filed on September 16, 2005, “Virtual Input Device Placement On A Touch Screen User Interface”; (7) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 228,700, filed on September 16, 2005, “Operation Of A Computer With A Touch Screen Interface”; (8) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 228,737, filed on September 16, 2005, “Activating Virtual Keys Of A Touch-Screen Virtual Keyboard”; and (9) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 367,749, filed on March 3, 2006, “Multi-Functional Hand-Held Device”. All of these applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

[0053] The touch screen 112 optionally has a video resolution of more than 100 dpi. In some embodiments, the touch screen has a video resolution of about 160 dpi. The user optionally uses any suitable object or attachment such as a stylus, a finger, etc. to contact the touch screen 112. In some embodiments, the user interface is designed to work primarily through finger-based contacts and gestures, which may not be as accurate as stylus-based input due to the larger contact area of ​​the finger on the touch screen. In some embodiments, the device converts rough finger-based input into precise pointer / cursor positioning or commands for performing the actions desired by the user.

[0054] In some embodiments, device 100 is a portable computing system that communicates with a display generation component (e.g., via wireless communication, via wired communication). The display generation component is configured to provide a visual output, such as a display via a CRT display, a display via an LED display, or a display via image projection. In some embodiments, a display generation component (e.g., an integrated display, a touch screen 112, etc.) is integrated with the computer system. In some embodiments, a display generation component (e.g., an external monitor, a projection system, etc.) is separated from the computer system. As used herein, "displaying" content includes transmitting data (e.g., image data or video data) to an integrated or external display generation component via a wired or wireless connection to visually generate content to display content (e.g., video data rendered or decoded by a display controller 156).

[0055] In some embodiments, in addition to the touch screen, the device 100 optionally includes a touchpad (not shown) for activating or deactivating specific functions. In some embodiments, the touchpad is a touch-sensitive area of ​​the device that, unlike the touch screen, does not display visual output. The touchpad is optionally a touch-sensitive surface that is separate from the touch screen 112 or is an extension of the touch-sensitive surface formed by the touch screen.

[0056] 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.

[0057] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more optical sensors 164 . Figure 1AAn optical sensor coupled to an optical sensor controller 158 in the I / O subsystem 106 is shown. The optical sensor 164 optionally includes a charge coupled device (CCD) or a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistor. The optical sensor 164 receives light projected through one or more lenses from the environment and converts the light into data representing an image. In conjunction with the imaging module 143 (also called a camera module), the optical sensor 164 optionally captures a static image or video. In some embodiments, the optical sensor is located on the rear of the device 100, opposite to the touch screen display 112 on the front of the device, so that the touch screen display can be used as a viewfinder for static image and / or video image acquisition. In some embodiments, the optical sensor is located on the front of the device so that when the user views other video conference participants on the touch screen display, the image of the user is optionally obtained for video conferencing. In some embodiments, the positioning of the optical sensor 164 can be changed by the user (e.g., by rotating the lens and sensor in the device housing) so that a single optical sensor 164 is used with the touch screen display for both video conferencing and static image and / or video image acquisition.

[0058] 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.

[0059] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more proximity sensors 166 . Figure 1AA proximity sensor 166 is shown coupled to the peripherals interface 118. Alternatively, the proximity sensor 166 is optionally coupled to the input controller 160 in the I / O subsystem 106. The proximity sensor 166 is optionally implemented as described in the following U.S. patent application numbers: 11 / 241,839, entitled "Proximity Detector In Handheld Device"; 11 / 240,788, entitled "Proximity Detector In Handheld Device"; 11 / 620,702, entitled "Using Ambient Light Sensor To Augment Proximity Sensor Output"; 11 / 586,862, entitled "Automated Response To And Sensing Of User Activity In Portable Devices"; and 11 / 638,251, entitled "Methods And Systems For Automatic Configuration Of Peripherals", which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. In some embodiments, when the multifunction device is placed near the user's ear (e.g., when the user is on a phone call), the proximity sensor turns off and disables the touch screen 112.

[0060] 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.

[0061] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more accelerometers 168 . Figure 1A An accelerometer 168 coupled to the peripheral device interface 118 is shown. Alternatively, the accelerometer 168 is optionally coupled to the input controller 160 in the I / O subsystem 106. The accelerometer 168 is optionally implemented as described in the following U.S. Patent Publication Nos.: 20050190059, entitled "Acceleration-based Theft Detection System for Portable Electronic Devices" and 20060017692, entitled "Methods And Apparatuses For Operating A Portable Device Based On An Accelerometer", both of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. In some embodiments, information is displayed in a portrait view or a landscape view on the touch screen display based on analysis of data received from one or more accelerometers. The device 100 optionally includes a magnetometer (not shown) and a GPS (or GLONASS or other global navigation system) receiver (not shown) in addition to the accelerometer 168 for obtaining information about the position and orientation (e.g., portrait or landscape) of the device 100.

[0062] 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.

[0063] 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.

[0064] 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.

[0065] 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.

[0066] In some embodiments, the contact / motion module 130 uses a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an action has been performed by a user (e.g., to determine whether a user has "clicked" an icon). In some embodiments, at least a subset of the intensity thresholds are determined based on software parameters (e.g., the intensity thresholds are not determined by the activation thresholds of specific physical actuators and can be adjusted without changing the physical hardware of the device 100). For example, without changing the touchpad or touchscreen display hardware, the mouse "click" threshold of a touchpad or touchscreen can be set to any one of a large range of predefined thresholds. Additionally, in some specific implementations, a software setting is provided to the user of the device for adjusting one or more intensity thresholds in a set of intensity thresholds (e.g., by adjusting individual intensity thresholds and / or by utilizing a system-level click on an "intensity" parameter to adjust multiple intensity thresholds at once).

[0067] 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.

[0068] 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.

[0069] In some embodiments, the graphics module 132 stores data representing graphics to be used. Each graphic is optionally assigned a corresponding code. The graphics module 132 receives one or more codes for specifying the graphics to be displayed from an application or the like, along with coordinate data and other graphic attribute data if necessary, and then generates screen image data to be output to the display controller 156.

[0070] Haptic feedback module 133 includes various software components for generating instructions used by tactile output generator 167 to produce tactile output at one or more locations on device 100 in response to user interaction with device 100 .

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

[0111] Each of the modules and applications described above corresponds to an executable instruction set for performing one or more of the functions described above and the methods described in this patent application (e.g., the computer-implemented methods and other information processing methods described herein). These modules (e.g., instruction sets) do not have to be implemented as independent software programs, processes, or modules, so various subsets of these modules are optionally combined or otherwise rearranged in various embodiments. For example, a video player module is optionally combined with a music player module into a single module (e.g., Figure 1A In some embodiments, the memory 102 optionally stores a subset of the above modules and data structures. In addition, the memory 102 optionally stores additional modules and data structures not described above.

[0112] In some embodiments, the device 100 is a device where the operation of a predefined set of functions on the device is performed exclusively through a touch screen and / or a touch pad. By using a touch screen and / or a touch pad as the primary input control device for operating the device 100, the number of physical input control devices (e.g., push buttons, dials, etc.) on the device 100 is optionally reduced.

[0113] A predefined set of functions that are performed exclusively through the touch screen and / or touchpad optionally includes navigation between user interfaces. In some embodiments, the touchpad, when touched by the user, navigates the device 100 to a main menu, a home menu, or a root menu from any user interface displayed on the device 100. In such embodiments, a "menu button" is implemented using the touchpad. In some other embodiments, the menu button is a physical push button or other physical input control device, rather than a touchpad.

[0114] 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).

[0115] 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.

[0116] 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.

[0117] 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.

[0118] 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).

[0119] In some embodiments, the event classifier 170 also includes a hit view determination module 172 and / or an active event identifier determination module 173.

[0120] 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.

[0121] 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.

[0122] 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.

[0123] 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.

[0124] 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.

[0125] 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.

[0126] In some embodiments, application 136-1 includes multiple event handlers 190 and one or more application views 191, each of which includes instructions for handling touch events occurring within a corresponding view of the user interface of the application. Each application view 191 of application 136-1 includes one or more event identifiers 180. Typically, the corresponding application view 191 includes multiple event identifiers 180. In other embodiments, one or more event identifiers in event identifier 180 are part of an independent module, which is a higher-level object such as a user interface toolkit (not shown) or application 136-1 from which methods and other properties are inherited. In some embodiments, the corresponding event handler 190 includes one or more of the following: data updater 176, object updater 177, GUI updater 178 and / or event data 179 received from event classifier 170. Event handler 190 optionally utilizes or calls data updater 176, object updater 177 or GUI updater 178 to update application internal state 192. Alternatively, one or more of the application views 191 include one or more corresponding event handlers 190. In addition, in some embodiments, one or more of the data updater 176, the object updater 177, and the GUI updater 178 are included in the corresponding application view 191.

[0127] The corresponding event identifier 180 receives event information (e.g., event data 179) from the event classifier 170 and identifies the event based on the event information. The event identifier 180 includes an event receiver 182 and an event comparator 184. In some embodiments, the event identifier 180 also includes metadata 183 and at least a subset of event delivery instructions 188 (which optionally include sub-event delivery instructions).

[0128] Event receiver 182 receives event information from event classifier 170. Event information includes information about sub-events such as touch or touch movement. Depending on the sub-event, the event information also includes additional information, such as the location of the sub-event. When the sub-event involves the movement of the touch, the event information optionally also includes the speed and direction of the sub-event. In some embodiments, the event includes the device rotating from one orientation to another orientation (for example, from a longitudinal orientation to a transverse orientation, or vice versa), and the event information includes corresponding information about the current orientation of the device (also referred to as the device posture).

[0129] Event comparator 184 compares event information with predefined event or sub-event definitions, and determines an event or sub-event based on the comparison, or determines or updates the state of an event or sub-event. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 includes event definition 186. Event definition 186 includes the definition of an event (e.g., a predefined sequence of sub-events), such as event 1 (187-1), event 2 (187-2), and others. In some embodiments, sub-events in event (187) include, for example, touch start, touch end, touch move, touch cancel, and multi-touch. In one example, the definition of event 1 (187-1) is a double-click on a displayed object. For example, a double-click includes a first touch (touch start) of a predetermined duration on a displayed object, a first lift-off (touch end) of a predetermined duration, a second touch (touch start) of a predetermined duration on a displayed object, and a second lift-off (touch end) of a predetermined duration. In another example, the definition of event 2 (187-2) is a drag on a displayed object. For example, dragging includes a touch (or contact) of a predetermined duration on a displayed object, movement of the touch on the touch-sensitive display 112, and lifting of the touch (touch end). In some embodiments, the event also includes information for one or more associated event handlers 190.

[0130] In some embodiments, event definition 187 includes definitions of events for corresponding user interface objects. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which user interface object is associated with a sub-event. For example, in an application view displaying three user interface objects on touch-sensitive display 112, when a touch is detected on touch-sensitive display 112, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which of the three user interface objects is associated with the touch (sub-event). If each displayed object is associated with a corresponding event handler 190, the event comparator uses the result of the hit test to determine which event handler 190 should be activated. For example, event comparator 184 selects an event handler associated with a sub-event and the object that triggered the hit test.

[0131] 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.

[0132] 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.

[0133] In some embodiments, the corresponding event recognizers 180 include metadata 183 with configurable properties, flags, and / or lists that indicate how the event delivery system should perform sub-event delivery to actively participating event recognizers. In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and / or lists that indicate how event recognizers interact or can interact with each other. In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and / or lists that indicate whether sub-events are delivered to different levels in a view or programmatic hierarchy.

[0134] In some embodiments, when one or more specific sub-events of an event are identified, the corresponding event recognizer 180 activates an event handler 190 associated with the event. In some embodiments, the corresponding event recognizer 180 delivers event information associated with the event to the event handler 190. Activating the event handler 190 is different from sending (and deferred sending) the sub-events to the corresponding hit view. In some embodiments, the event recognizer 180 throws a tag associated with the identified event, and the event handler 190 associated with the tag obtains the tag and executes a predefined process.

[0135] In some embodiments, the event delivery instructions 188 include a sub-event delivery instruction that delivers event information about a sub-event without activating an event handler. Instead, the sub-event delivery instruction delivers the event information to an event handler associated with a sub-event sequence or to an actively participating view. The event handler associated with the sub-event sequence or with an actively participating view receives the event information and executes a predetermined process.

[0136] 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.

[0137] 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.

[0138] It should be understood that the above discussion of event processing for user touches on a touch-sensitive display also applies to other forms of user input that utilize input devices to operate the multifunction device 100, and not all user input is initiated on the touch screen. For example, mouse movement and mouse button presses, optionally in conjunction with single or multiple keyboard presses or hold; contact movement on a touch pad, such as tapping, dragging, scrolling, etc.; stylus input; movement of the device; verbal commands; detected eye movement; biometric input; and / or any combination thereof are optionally used as input corresponding to sub-events that define the event to be distinguished.

[0139] 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.

[0140] In some embodiments, stylus 203 is an active device and includes one or more electronic circuits. For example, stylus 203 includes one or more sensors and one or more communication circuits (such as communication module 128 and / or RF circuit 108). In some embodiments, stylus 203 includes one or more processors and a power system (e.g., similar to power system 162). In some embodiments, stylus 203 includes an accelerometer (such as accelerometer 168), a magnetometer, and / or a gyroscope that can determine the positioning, angle, position, and / or other physical characteristics of stylus 203 (e.g., such as whether the stylus is put down, tilted toward or away from the device, and / or close to or away from the device). In some embodiments, stylus 203 communicates with the electronic device (e.g., via a communication circuit, through a wireless communication protocol such as Bluetooth) and transmits sensor data to the electronic device. In some embodiments, stylus 203 can determine (e.g., via an accelerometer or other sensor) whether the user is holding the device. In some embodiments, stylus 203 can accept tap input (e.g., a single or double tap) from a user on stylus 203 (e.g., received by an accelerometer or other sensor) and interpret the input as a command or request to perform a function or change to a different input mode.

[0141] 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.

[0142] 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.

[0143] Figure 3 300 is a block diagram of an exemplary multifunction device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface according to some embodiments. Device 300 does not have to be portable. In some embodiments, device 300 is a laptop, 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 sensor, and / or a contact intensity sensor (similar to the above reference Figure 1AMemory 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.

[0144] Figure 3 Each element in the above-mentioned elements in is optionally stored in one or more memory devices of the previously mentioned memory device. Each module in the above-mentioned modules corresponds to the instruction set for performing the function described above. The above-mentioned modules or programs (e.g., instruction sets) do not have to be implemented as independent software programs, processes or modules, and therefore the various subsets of these modules are optionally combined or otherwise rearranged in various embodiments. In some embodiments, memory 370 optionally stores the subset of the above-mentioned modules and data structures. In addition, memory 370 optionally stores additional modules and data structures not described above.

[0145] Attention is now turned to an embodiment of a user interface that is optionally implemented on, for example, portable multifunction device 100.

[0146] Figure 4A An exemplary user interface of an application menu on portable multifunction device 100 according to some embodiments is illustrated. A similar user interface is optionally implemented on device 300. In some embodiments, user interface 400 includes the following elements, or a subset or superset thereof:

[0147] ● Signal strength indicators 402 for wireless communications such as cellular signals and Wi-Fi signals;

[0148] ●Time 404;

[0149] ●Bluetooth indicator 405;

[0150] ●Battery status indicator 406;

[0151] A tray 408 with icons for commonly used applications, such as:

[0152] o An icon 416 of the phone module 138 labeled "Phone," which optionally includes an indicator 414 of the number of missed calls or voicemails;

[0153] o an icon 418 of the email client module 140 labeled “Mail”, which optionally includes an indicator 410 of the number of unread emails;

[0154] o An icon 420 labeled "Browser" of the browser module 147; and

[0155] o An icon 422 labeled “iPod” for the video and music player module 152 (also referred to as the iPod (trademark of Apple Inc.) module 152); and

[0156] ● Icons for other apps, such as:

[0157] o Icon 424 labeled "Message" of IM module 141;

[0158] o An icon 426 labeled “Calendar” of the calendar module 148;

[0159] o Icon 428 labeled “Photos” of the image management module 144;

[0160] o An icon 430 labeled “Camera” of the camera module 143;

[0161] o An icon 432 labeled “Online Video” of the online video module 155;

[0162] ○ Icon 434 labeled “Stock Market” of the Stock Market Widget 149 - 2 ;

[0163] o An icon 436 labeled “Map” of the map module 154;

[0164] ○ Icon 438 labeled “Weather” of the weather widget 149-1;

[0165] ○ Icon 440 labeled as “Clock” of the alarm clock widget 149 - 4 ;

[0166] o An icon 442 labeled “Fitness Support” of the fitness support module 142;

[0167] o An icon 444 labeled "Notes" of the notes module 153; and

[0168] o An icon 446 of a settings application or module labeled “Settings” that provides access to settings for the device 100 and its various applications 136 .

[0169] 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.

[0170] Figure 4B The example embodiment has a touch-sensitive surface 451 (eg, touch screen display 112) that is separate from a display 450 (eg, touch screen display 112). Figure 3 tablet computer or touch pad 355) device (e.g., Figure 3 Device 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] Additionally, although the following examples are primarily given with reference to finger inputs (e.g., finger contacts, single-finger tap gestures, finger swipe gestures), it should be understood that in some embodiments, one or more of these finger inputs are replaced by input from another input device (e.g., mouse-based input or stylus input). For example, a swipe gesture is optionally replaced by a mouse click (e.g., instead of contact), followed by movement of the cursor along the path of the swipe (e.g., instead of movement of the contact). As another example, when the cursor is at the location of the tap gesture, the tap gesture is optionally replaced by a mouse click (e.g., instead of detecting contact and then ceasing to detect contact). Similarly, when multiple user inputs are detected simultaneously, it should be understood that multiple computer mice are optionally used simultaneously, or a mouse and finger contact are optionally used simultaneously.

[0173] Figure 5A An exemplary personal electronic device 500 is illustrated. Device 500 includes a body 502. In some embodiments, device 500 may include components related to devices 100 and 300 (e.g., Figures 1A to 4B ) some or all of the features described in the foregoing. In some embodiments, device 500 has a touch-sensitive display screen 504, referred to hereinafter as touch screen 504. Alternatively, or in addition to touch screen 504, device 500 also has a display and a touch-sensitive surface. As with devices 100 and 300, in some embodiments, touch screen 504 (or touch-sensitive surface) optionally includes one or more intensity sensors for detecting the intensity of contact (e.g., touch) applied. One or more intensity sensors of touch screen 504 (or touch-sensitive surface) can provide output data representing the intensity of touch. The user interface of device 500 can respond to touch based on the intensity of the touch, which means that touches of different intensities can invoke different user interface operations on device 500.

[0174] Exemplary techniques for detecting and processing touch intensity are found, for example, in the following related patent applications: International patent application serial number PCT / US2013 / 040061, entitled “Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Displaying User Interface Objects Corresponding to an Application,” filed on May 8, 2013, published as WIPO patent publication number WO / 2013 / 169849; and International patent application serial number PCT / US2013 / 069483, entitled “Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Transitioning Between Touch Input to Display Output Relationships,” filed on November 11, 2013, published as WIPO patent publication number WO / 2014 / 105276, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

[0175] 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.

[0176] Figure 5B An exemplary personal electronic device 500 is depicted. In some embodiments, the device 500 may include information about Figure 1A , Figure 1B and Figure 3Some or all of the components described. Device 500 has a bus 512 that operatively couples an I / O portion 514 to one or more computer processors 516 and a memory 518. I / O portion 514 may be connected to a display 504, which may have a touch-sensitive component 522 and optionally a strength sensor 524 (e.g., a contact strength sensor). In addition, I / O portion 514 may be connected to a communication unit 530 for receiving application and operating system data using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, near field communication (NFC), cellular and / or other wireless communication technologies. Device 500 may include input mechanisms 506 and / or 508. For example, input mechanism 506 is optionally a rotatable input device or a depressible input device and a rotatable input device. In some examples, input mechanism 508 is optionally a button.

[0177] In some examples, input mechanism 508 is optionally a microphone. Personal electronic device 500 optionally includes various sensors, such as GPS sensor 532, accelerometer 534, orientation sensor 540 (e.g., compass), gyroscope 536, motion sensor 538, and / or combinations thereof, all of which are operably connected to I / O portion 514.

[0178] 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, 900, and 1100 ( Figure 7 , FIG. 9A to FIG. 9B and Fig.11 ). Computer-readable storage media can be any medium that can tangibly contain or store computer-executable instructions for use by or in conjunction with instruction execution systems, devices, and apparatuses. In some examples, the storage medium is a transient computer-readable storage medium. In some examples, the storage medium is a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. Non-transitory computer-readable storage media may include, but are not limited to, magnetic storage devices, optical storage devices, and / or semiconductor storage devices. Examples of such storage devices include magnetic disks, optical disks based on CD, DVD, or Blu-ray technology, and persistent solid-state memories such as flash memory, solid-state drives, and the like. Personal electronic device 500 is not limited to Figure 5B components and configurations, but may include other components or additional components in a variety of configurations.

[0179] In addition, in the method described herein where one or more steps depend on one or more conditions being met, it should be understood that the method can be repeated in multiple repetitions so that in the process of repetition, all conditions for determining the steps in the method have been met in different repetitions of the method. For example, if the method needs to perform the first step (if the condition is met), and perform the second step (if the condition is not met), then the ordinary technician will know that the steps stated are repeated until both the condition is met and the condition is not met (in no particular order). Therefore, the method described as having one or more steps depending on one or more conditions being met can be rewritten as a method of repeating until each condition described in the method is met. However, this does not require the system or computer-readable medium to declare that the system or computer-readable medium contains instructions for performing a contingent operation based on the satisfaction of the corresponding one or more conditions, and is therefore able to determine whether the possible situation has been met without explicitly repeating the steps of the method until all conditions for determining the steps in the method have been met. It will also be understood by ordinary technicians in the art that, similar to the method with the contingent step, the system or computer-readable storage medium can repeat the steps of the method as many times as needed to ensure that all the contingent steps have been performed.

[0180] 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.

[0181] 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).

[0182] As used in the specification and claims, the term "characteristic intensity" of a contact refers to a characteristic of a contact based on one or more intensities of the contact. In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is based on multiple intensity samples. The characteristic intensity is optionally based on a predefined number of intensity samples or a set of intensity samples collected during a predetermined time period (e.g., 0.05 seconds, 0.1 seconds, 0.2 seconds, 0.5 seconds, 1 second, 2 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds) relative to a predefined event (e.g., after contact is detected, before contact is detected to be lifted off, before or after contact starts to move, before contact ends, before or after contact intensity is detected to increase, and / or before or after contact intensity is detected to decrease). The characteristic intensity of a contact is optionally based on one or more of the following: the maximum value of the intensity of the contact, the mean value of the intensity of the contact, the average value of the intensity of the contact, the value at the top 10% of the intensity of the contact, the half-maximum value of the intensity of the contact, the 90% maximum value of the intensity of the contact, etc. In some embodiments, the duration of the contact is used when determining the characteristic intensity (e.g., when the characteristic intensity is the average value of the intensity of the contact over time). In some embodiments, the feature strength is compared to a set of one or more strength thresholds to determine whether the user has performed an operation. For example, the set of one or more strength thresholds optionally includes a first strength threshold and a second strength threshold. In this example, a contact whose feature strength does not exceed the first threshold results in a first operation, a contact whose feature strength exceeds the first strength threshold but does not exceed the second strength threshold results in a second operation, and a contact whose feature strength exceeds the second threshold results in a third operation. In some embodiments, a comparison between the feature strength and one or more thresholds is used to determine whether to perform one or more operations (e.g., whether to perform the corresponding operation or to abandon the corresponding operation) rather than to determine whether to perform the first operation or the second operation.

[0183] Figure 5C Detecting multiple contacts 552A-552E on touch-sensitive display screen 504 using multiple intensity sensors 524A-524D is shown. 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 cumulative strength assigned to contacts 552A-552E based on their distance from the center of force 554 is shown. In this example, each of contacts 552A, 552B, and 552E is assigned a contact strength of 8 strength units of the cumulative strength, and each of contacts 552C and 552D is assigned a contact strength of 4 strength units of the cumulative strength. More generally, in some embodiments, each contact j is assigned a corresponding strength Ij, which is a portion of the cumulative strength A, according to a predefined mathematical function Ij=A·(Dj / ΣDi), where Dj is the distance of the corresponding contact j from the center of force, and ΣDi is the sum of the distances of all corresponding contacts (e.g., i=1 to the last) from the center of force. The reference may be performed using an electronic device similar to or equivalent to device 100, 300, or 500. Figure 5C-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.

[0184] 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.

[0185] 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.

[0186] 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.

[0187] In some embodiments described herein, one or more operations are performed in response to detecting a gesture that includes a corresponding press input or in response to detecting a corresponding press input performed using a corresponding contact (or multiple contacts), wherein the corresponding press input is detected at least in part based on detecting that the strength of the contact (or multiple contacts) increases to above a press input strength threshold. In some embodiments, the corresponding operation is performed in response to detecting that the strength of the corresponding contact increases to above the press input strength threshold (e.g., a "down stroke" of the corresponding press input). In some embodiments, the press input includes an increase in the strength of the corresponding contact to above the press input strength threshold and a subsequent decrease in the strength of the contact to below the press input strength threshold, and the corresponding operation is performed in response to detecting that the strength of the corresponding contact subsequently decreases to below the press input threshold (e.g., an "up stroke" of the corresponding press input).

[0188] Figure 5E-5HDetection of a gesture is shown, the gesture comprising contact 562 with an intensity from below Figure 5E The light press intensity threshold in L ”) increases to a strength higher than Figure 5H The deep compression intensity threshold in D ”). On the displayed user interface 570 including application icons 572A-572D displayed in the predefined area 574, when the cursor 576 is displayed above the application icon 572B corresponding to application 2, a gesture performed using contact 562 is detected on the touch-sensitive surface 560. In some embodiments, the gesture is detected on the touch-sensitive display 504. The intensity sensor detects the intensity of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface 560. The device determines whether the intensity of the contact 562 is within the deep press intensity threshold (for example, “IT D ”) reaches a peak above. Contact 562 is maintained on touch-sensitive surface 560. In response to detecting the gesture, and according to the intensity increasing to a deep press intensity threshold (e.g., “IT D ”) above contact 562, displays scaled representations 578A-578C (e.g., thumbnails) of documents recently opened for application 2, such as FIG. 5F to FIG. 5I 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 Figure 5E-5H To assist the readers.

[0189] 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-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.

[0190] Fig.5I A block diagram of an exemplary architecture for device 580 according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Fig.5I In an embodiment, media content or other content is optionally received by device 580 via network interface 582, which is optionally a wireless connection or a wired connection. One or more processors 584 optionally execute any number of programs stored in memory 586 or a storage device, which optionally include instructions for performing one or more of the methods and / or processes described herein (e.g., methods 700 and 900).

[0191] In some embodiments, the display controller 588 causes various user interfaces of the present disclosure to be displayed on the display 594. In addition, input to the device 580 is optionally provided by a remote control 590 via a remote control interface 592, which is optionally a wireless or wired connection. In some embodiments, the input to the device 580 is provided by a multifunction device 591 (e.g., a smart phone) on which a remote control application is running that configures the multifunction device to simulate remote control functions, as will be described in more detail below. In some embodiments, the multifunction device 591 corresponds to Figure 1A and Figure 2 Device 100, Figure 3 The device 300 and Figure 5A It should be understood that Fig.5I The embodiments are not meant to limit the features of the device disclosed herein, and other components that facilitate other features described in the present disclosure are optionally included in the Fig.5I In some embodiments, device 580 optionally corresponds to Figure 1A and Figure 2 The multifunctional device 100, Figure 3 The device 300 and Figure 5A One or more of the devices 500 in; the network interface 582 optionally corresponds to Figure 1A and Figure 2 RF circuit 108, external port 124 and peripheral device interface 118 in Figure 3 One or more of the network communication interfaces 360 in; the processor 584 optionally corresponds to Figure 1A The processor 120 and Figure 3 One or more of the CPUs 310 in; the display controller 588 optionally corresponds to Figure 1A The display controller 156 and Figure 3 One or more of the I / O interfaces 330 in; the memory 586 optionally corresponds to Figure 1A The memory 102 and Figure 3 One or more of the memories 370 in; the remote control interface 592 optionally corresponds to Figure 1A The peripheral device interface 118 and the I / O subsystem 106 (and / or its components) in Figure 3 One or more of the I / O interfaces 330 in; the remote control 590 optionally corresponds to and / or includes Figure 1A The speaker 111, the touch-sensitive display system 112, the microphone 113, the optical sensor 164, the contact intensity sensor 165, the tactile output generator 167, the other input control devices 116, the accelerometer 168, the proximity sensor 166 and the I / O subsystem 106 and Figure 3 4 and one or more of the keyboard / mouse 350, touchpad 355, tactile output generator 357, and contact intensity sensor 359; and the display 594 optionally corresponds to Figure 1A and Figure 2 The touch-sensitive display system 112 and Figure 3 One or more of the displays 340 in .

[0192] 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).

[0193] For ease of explanation, optionally, a description of an operation performed in response to a press input associated with a press input intensity threshold or in response to a gesture including a press input is triggered in response to detecting any of the following: contact intensity increasing to above the press input intensity threshold, contact intensity increasing from an intensity below a hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity above the press input intensity threshold, contact intensity decreasing to below the press input intensity threshold, and / or contact intensity decreasing to below a hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to the press input intensity threshold. Additionally, in examples where an operation is described as being performed in response to detecting that the intensity of the contact decreases below the press input intensity threshold, the operation is optionally performed in response to detecting that the intensity of the contact decreases below a hysteresis intensity threshold that corresponds to and is less than the press input intensity threshold.

[0194] 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.

[0195] 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:

[0196] ● The active app currently displayed on the display of the device on which the app is being used;

[0197] ● Background applications (or background processes) that are not currently displayed but for which one or more processes are being processed by one or more processors; and

[0198] ●Not running but has data stored in memory (volatile and non-volatile respectively)

[0199] A suspended or dormant application that contains status information that can be used to resume execution of the application.

[0200] 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.

[0201] 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.

[0202] User interface and associated processes

[0203] Indicates document and message updates

[0204] Users interact with electronic devices in a variety of different ways. In some embodiments, electronic devices present shared documents that can be accessed by a user group and instant messaging conversations between user groups. The embodiments described below provide a way for electronic devices to display visual indications of changes made to documents and / or instant messaging conversations while displaying instant messaging conversations. For example, the electronic device displays to the user in an instant messaging conversation that a shared document is edited and / or an indication of changes to the user. Enhanced interaction with the device reduces the amount of time required for the user to perform an operation, thereby reducing the power consumption of the device and extending the battery life of battery-powered devices. It should be understood that people use devices. When a person uses a device, this person is optionally referred to as a user of the device.

[0205] FIG. 6A to FIG. 6G Illustrated are exemplary ways of presenting indications of changes to shared documents and / or to users in an instant messaging conversation while displaying an instant messaging conversation according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The embodiments in these figures are used to illustrate the processes described below, including reference to Figure 7 The process described.

[0206] Fig. 6AAn electronic device 500 showing a shared document 606 is illustrated. In some embodiments, the shared document 606 is displayed in a user interface of a document viewing and / or editing application. In some embodiments, the user interface also includes an option 602a to navigate back to a previously displayed user interface in the user interface and stop displaying the shared document 606. In some embodiments, the user interface also includes a formatting option 602b, which, when selected, causes the electronic device 500a to display a menu for changing the formatting settings (such as font and / or paragraph style, font size, and bullet point usage) of the text in the shared document 606. In some embodiments, the user interface also includes an option 602d to display a menu for sharing the shared document, as described in more detail below with reference to one or more of methods 900 and / or 1100. In some embodiments, the user interface includes a proofreading option 602e, which, when selected, causes the electronic device 500a to initiate a process for checking spelling and / or grammatical errors in the shared document 606. In some embodiments, the user interface also includes a soft keyboard 604. In some embodiments, in response to one or more inputs directed to the soft keyboard 604, the electronic device 500a enters text into the shared document 606 at the location of the cursor 608. For example, Fig. 6A As shown, electronic device 500a detects input directed to soft keyboard 604 (eg, including contact 603a). In response to including Fig. 6A In the illustrated input sequence, the electronic device 500a inputs additional text into the shared document 606, such as Figure 6B shown.

[0207] Figure 6B 604 is illustrated in response to an input sequence (including Fig. 6A An example of electronic device 500a updating shared document 606 based on the input illustrated. Figure 6BAlso included is a second electronic device 500b capable of accessing the shared document 606 and an instant messaging conversation including a user of the electronic device 500a and / or one or more additional users capable of accessing the shared document 606. In some embodiments, the second electronic device 500b displays the instant messaging conversation in the instant messaging application user interface 610. In some embodiments, the instant messaging application user interface 610 includes a representation 616a of a message from another user in the conversation and a representation 616b of a message from a user of the second electronic device 500b. In some embodiments, the instant messaging application user interface 610 also includes an option 612a, which, when selected, causes the second electronic device 500b to navigate back to a previously displayed user interface in the instant messaging application. In some embodiments, the instant messaging application user interface 610 also includes an option 612b for viewing a settings user interface associated with the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, the instant messaging application user interface 610 includes an option 612c, which, when selected, causes the second electronic device 500b to initiate a video conference between users in the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, the instant messaging application user interface 610 includes a message writing field 617, in which the second electronic device 500b displays text and / or images included in a draft message, and in response to receiving input for sending the message, the second electronic device 500b sends the draft message to the instant messaging conversation.

[0208] like Figure 6B As shown, in some embodiments, in response to the first electronic device 500a editing the shared document 606, the second electronic device 500b displays an indication 614a of the revision of the shared document 606 by the electronic device 500a. In some embodiments, the indication 614a includes an indication 618a of the user of the electronic device 500a, because the user of the electronic device 500a edited the shared document 606. In some embodiments, the indication 614a includes an indication 618b of the name of the user who edited the shared document 606 and the name of the shared document 606. In some embodiments, the indication 614a includes a selectable option 618c, which, when selected, causes the second electronic device 500b to display the shared document 606. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the selection of the selectable option 618c, the second electronic device 500b displays the portion of the shared document 606 including the revision made by the user of the electronic device 500a. In some embodiments, the indication 614a also includes a selectable option 618d, which, when selected, causes the second electronic device 500b to stop displaying the indication 614a and continue displaying the instant messaging conversation in the user interface 610.

[0209] exist Figure 6CIn the embodiment, the second electronic device 500b receives input (eg, including contact 603c) for selecting option 612b for displaying a user interface for changing one or more settings of the instant messaging conversation. Figure 6C The electronic device 500b displays the input Fig.6D The instant messaging conversation settings user interface is shown.

[0210] Fig.6D Example of a response to Figure 6C In some embodiments, the setup user interface includes an image 620b associated with the instant messaging conversation, options 622a-c for contacting users in the instant messaging conversation, indications 624b-c of the users in the conversation, an option 624d that causes the electronic device 500b to initiate a process of adding another user to the instant messaging conversation when selected, and an option 624d that causes the electronic device 500b to navigate back to the instant messaging conversation when selected. Figure 6C Option 620d of the illustrated user interface. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the selection of option 622a, the second electronic device 500b initiates a phone call with other users in the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the selection of option 622b, the second electronic device 500b initiates a video conference with other users in the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the selection of option 622c, the second electronic device 500b initiates an email with other users in the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the selection of option 624b or 624c, the electronic device 500b displays a contact card user interface for the user associated with option 624b or 624c, respectively.

[0211] In some embodiments, Fig.6D In some embodiments, in response to the second electronic device 500b receiving an input (e.g., including contact 603d) selecting option 624d to add another user to the instant messaging conversation. Fig.6D In response to the input shown, the second electronic device 500b displays a user interface for selecting a user to be added to the instant messaging conversation. Fig.6D The illustrated input sequence of inputs, the electronic device 500b adds another user to the instant messaging conversation and updates the settings user interface to indicate the user added to the instant messaging conversation, such as Fig. 6E as shown in .

[0212] Fig. 6E In response to including Fig.6DThe second electronic device 500b displays a settings user interface updated in response to adding an additional user to the instant messaging conversation based on the illustrated input sequence of inputs. In some embodiments, as described in more detail below with reference to method 900, adding a user to the instant messaging conversation does not add the user to the shared document. Fig. 6E As shown, for example, the second electronic device 500b includes an indication 624e of the user added to the instant messaging conversation and displays an updated image 620c representing the instant messaging conversation. Fig. 6E As shown, electronic device 500b receives input (eg, including contact 603e) for selecting option 620a for displaying an instant message conversation, such as Fig. 6F shown.

[0213] Fig. 6F In response to Fig. 6E The second electronic device 500b displays the instant message conversation after adding the user to the instant message conversation according to the illustrated input. Fig. 6F As shown, electronic device 500b displays the indication 614c of the user added to the instant messaging conversation, which is covered on the instant messaging conversation because the user is added to the instant messaging conversation, but not added to the shared document. In some embodiments, indication 614c includes the indication 618f of the name of the user added to the conversation and the name of the shared document shared with the instant messaging conversation but not yet shared with the additional user. In some embodiments, indication 614c also includes option 618g, which makes electronic device 500b add the user to the shared document when selected. In some embodiments, indication 614c also includes the option 618d of stopping the display of indication 614c and maintaining the display of the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, as described below with reference to method 900, electronic device 500b displays other indications in response to the difference in the user who can access the shared document and the instant messaging conversation, for example, when the user is added to the shared document or the instant messaging conversation or removed from the shared document or the instant messaging conversation without being added to the shared document and the instant messaging conversation or removed from the shared document and the instant messaging conversation.

[0214] In some embodiments, in response to receiving an additional message to the instant messaging conversation, the electronic device 500b stops displaying the indication 614c. Fig. 6F In the example of FIG. 6 , electronic device 500 b receives an indication 626 of a message being added to the instant messaging conversation. Fig. 6F The second electronic device 500b stops displaying the indication 614c and maintains displaying the instant message conversation, such as Figure 6G shown.

[0215] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6G As shown, the second electronic device 500b displays the instant message conversation instead of displaying Fig. 6F Instructions 614c are shown in FIG. Fig. 6F As shown, in addition to the display of the stop indication 614c, the electronic device 500b also displays Fig. 6F An indication 616c of the message received in.

[0216] Figure 7 7 is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary method 700 for presenting an indication of a change to a shared document and / or to a user in an instant messaging conversation while displaying an instant messaging conversation according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Method 700 is optionally performed at an electronic device such as device 100, device 300, device 500, device 501, device 510, and device 591, as described above with reference to Figure 1A to Figure 1B , Figures 2 to 3 , FIG. 4A to FIG. 4B and FIG. 5A to FIG. 5I Some operations in method 700 are optionally combined, and / or the order of some operations is optionally changed.

[0217] As described below, method 700 provides a way to interact with instant messaging conversations and / or shared documents. The method reduces the cognitive burden on the user when interacting with the device user interface of the present disclosure, thereby creating a more efficient human-computer interface. For battery-powered electronic devices, improving the efficiency of user interaction with the user interface saves power and increases the time between battery charges.

[0218] In some embodiments, method 700 is performed at an electronic device (e.g., 500a) that communicates with a display generation component, such as at Fig. 6A For example, the electronic device is a mobile device (e.g., a tablet, a smart phone, a media player, or a wearable device) that includes wireless communication circuitry, which optionally communicates with one or more of a mouse (e.g., external), a trackpad (optionally integrated or external), a touchpad (optionally integrated or external), a remote control device (e.g., external), another mobile device (e.g., separate from the electronic device), a handheld device (e.g., external), a device integrated with a vehicle (e.g., an infotainment system), and / or a controller (e.g., external). In some embodiments, the display generation component is a display (optionally a touch screen display) integrated with the electronic device, an external display such as a monitor, a projector, a television, or a hardware component (optionally integrated or external) for projecting a user interface or making a user interface visible to one or more users.

[0219] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6CIn some embodiments, an electronic device (e.g., 500b) displays (702) an instant messaging conversation between two or more users who can access a shared document in an instant messaging user interface (e.g., 610) via a display generation component (e.g., 504b). In some embodiments, the instant messaging conversation includes one or more indications of the messages included in the conversation. In some embodiments, the messages included in the conversation can be accessed by two or more users in the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, the indication of the message includes a visual indication of the user who sent the message. In some embodiments, the message includes text, static or video images, audio content, hyperlinks to websites, and / or rich messages associated with shared documents. In some embodiments, a shared document is a file or document accessible to two or more users of an application different from an instant messaging application that includes an instant messaging conversation. For example, an electronic device displays a shared document in a word processing application. In some embodiments, two or more users can access a shared document, including revisions made to the document after authorizing two or more users to access the document. In some embodiments, two or more users have permission to make changes to a shared document. In some embodiments, some but not all of the two or more users have permission to make changes to the shared document. In some embodiments, the instant messaging conversation is displayed simultaneously with the shared document. In some embodiments, the electronic device displays the instant messaging conversation without displaying the shared document. In some embodiments, the user who can access the shared document can access the shared document from multiple electronic devices associated with its user account. In some embodiments, the instant messaging conversation and / or the shared document have one or more features common to the instant messaging conversation and / or the shared document described with reference to the following method 900 and / or 1100.

[0220] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6BIn some embodiments, when the instant messaging conversation (704) is displayed, the electronic device (e.g., 500b) detects (706) an indication of a change to a shared document (e.g., 606) or two or more users. In some embodiments, the change is that one of the two or more users revise the shared document. In some embodiments, the change is to add a user to two or more users who can access the instant messaging conversation and / or the shared document or to remove a user from the two or more users. In some embodiments, the change is to add a user to two or more users who can access the shared document or to remove a user from the two or more users. In some embodiments, when a user is removed from one but not both of the shared document or the instant messaging conversation, the electronic device presents a user interface for resolving the difference between the participants in the instant messaging conversation and those participants who can access the shared document according to one or more steps of method 900. In some embodiments, the change is to add a user to two or more users who can access the instant messaging conversation and the shared document or to remove a user from the two or more users.

[0221] In some embodiments, while displaying the instant messaging conversation (704), in response to detecting an indication of a change (708), based on determining that the change is a first change, the electronic device (e.g., 500b) displays (710) via the display generation component a first visual indication (e.g., 614a) indicating a first change in the instant messaging user interface (e.g., 610), such as in Figure 6B In some embodiments, the first visual indication includes an indication of the change that has occurred and the user that caused the change. For example, if the change is that the first user edits the shared document, the first visual indication includes an indication that the shared document is revised by the first user. In some embodiments, the first visual indication is displayed in the instant messaging user interface in a consistent manner (e.g., chronologically) with the indication of the message in the message conversation. In some embodiments, the first visual indication is displayed as an overlay on the indication of the message in the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, the first visual indication is displayed at a predetermined position in the instant messaging conversation, regardless of the temporal relationship between the first change and one or more messages in the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, the first visual indication is displayed at a certain position in the instant messaging conversation based on the temporal relationship between the first change and one or more messages in the instant messaging conversation.

[0222] In some embodiments, while displaying the instant messaging conversation (704), in response to detecting an indication of a change (708), based on determining that the change is a second change, the electronic device (e.g., 500b) displays (712) via the display generating component (e.g., 504b) a second visual indication (e.g., 614c) that is different from the first visual indication and indicates a second change in the instant messaging user interface (e.g., 610), such as in Fig. 6F In some embodiments, the second visual indication includes the change that has occurred and the indication of the user who caused the change. For example, if the change is that the first user shares a document with a second user who could not previously access the shared document, the second visual indication includes an indication that the first user shares the document with the second user (for example, so the second user is added to two or more users who can access the shared document and / or the instant messaging conversation). In some embodiments, the second visual indication is displayed in the instant messaging user interface in a consistent manner (for example, chronologically) with the indication of the message in the message conversation. In some embodiments, the second visual indication is displayed as covering the indication of the message in the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, the second visual indication is displayed at a predetermined position in the instant messaging conversation, regardless of the time relationship between the first change and one or more messages in the instant messaging conversation at the same predetermined position where the first visual indication will be displayed. In some embodiments, according to the time relationship between the first change and one or more messages in the instant messaging conversation, the second visual indication is displayed at a certain position in the instant messaging conversation.

[0223] Presenting indications of changes to a shared document and / or two or more users in an instant messaging user interface including an instant messaging conversation enhances interaction with an electronic device by reducing the amount of input required to view the instant messaging conversation associated with a shared document that has changed.

[0224] In some embodiments, when the instant messaging conversation is displayed in the instant messaging user interface (e.g., 610) via the display generation component (e.g., 504b), the electronic device (e.g., 500b) receives an indication (e.g., 626) of the message added to the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, the message is sent by another of the two or more users who can access the instant messaging conversation and the shared document.

[0225] In some embodiments, in response to receiving an indication of a message, the electronic device (e.g., 500b) displays a representation of the message in the instant messaging conversation that is different from the first visual indication or the second visual indication (e.g., 616c), such as in Figure 6G In some embodiments, in response to receiving a message in an instant messaging conversation, the electronic device displays a representation of a message including the content of the message in the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, the representation of the message is different from the first or second visual indication. For example, the representation of the message is displayed in the user interface at a different location from the first and / or second visual indication, and / or has an appearance different from the first and / or second visual indication. Displaying a representation of a message different from the first and / or second visual indication enhances the user's interaction with the electronic device by providing improved visual feedback to the user, thereby enabling the user to use the electronic device quickly and efficiently.

[0226] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6B In some embodiments, based on determining that the change is a first change, the first change is a change to a shared document, and the first change is associated with a first user, a first change type, and a first timestamp, a first visual indication (e.g., 614a) includes an indication of the name of the first user (e.g., 618b), an indication of the first change type (e.g., 618b), an indication of the first timestamp (e.g., 618b), and a selectable option (e.g., 618c) that causes the electronic device (e.g., 500b) to display the shared document (and stop displaying the first visual indication and the instant messaging conversation) when selected. In some embodiments, the first visual indication also includes a second selectable option that causes the electronic device to stop displaying the first visual indication and maintain displaying the instant messaging conversation when selected. In some embodiments, the indication of the first change type indicates the first change type without indicating the content of the change. For example, if the first change type is to edit a shared document, the indication is to read the text of the "edited" shared document without including an indication of the edits made to the shared document. In some embodiments, the first visual indication also includes an image associated with the first user who made the change, such as an image included in the contact card of the first user.

[0227] In some embodiments, based on determining that the change is a second change, the second change is a change to the shared document, and the second change is associated with a second user, a second change type, and a second timestamp, the second visual indication includes an indication of the second user's name, an indication of the second change type, an indication of the second timestamp, and a selectable option that, when selected, causes the electronic device to display the shared document (and stop the instant messaging conversation and display of the second visual indication), similar to Figure 6C In some embodiments, the second visual indication 614b includes an indication 618e of the change type and the second timestamp and a selectable option 618c that causes the electronic device (e.g., 500b) to display the shared document when selected. In some embodiments, the second visual indication also includes a second selectable option that causes the electronic device to stop displaying the second visual indication and maintain the display of the instant messaging conversation when selected. In some embodiments, the indication of the second change type indicates the second change type without indicating the content of the change. For example, if the second change type is to edit the shared document, the indication is to read the text of the "edited" shared document without including an indication of the edits made to the shared document. In some embodiments, the second visual indication also includes an image associated with the second user who made the change, such as an image included in the contact card of the second user. The option of displaying the user's indication, change type, timestamp, and displaying the shared document in the changed visual indication will enhance the user's interaction with the electronic device by providing improved visual feedback to the user.

[0228] In some embodiments, when an instant messaging conversation is displayed in an instant messaging user interface (e.g., 610) via a display generation component (e.g., 504b), such as in Figure 6B In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 500b) receives an input selecting a selectable option (e.g., 618c) via one or more input devices. In some embodiments, based on determining that the change is a first change, the selectable option is included in the first visual indication. In some embodiments, based on determining that the change is a second change, the selectable option is included in the second visual indication.

[0229] In some embodiments, based on determining that the change is a first change, the instant messaging user interface (e.g., 610) includes a first visual indication (e.g., 614a) indicating the first change, such as in Figure 8B In some embodiments, based on determining that the change is a second change, the instant messaging user interface (e.g., 610) includes a second visual indication (e.g., 618d) indicating the second change.

[0230] In some embodiments, in response to receiving a selection of a selectable option (e.g., Figure 6B In some embodiments, in response to receiving input selecting a selectable option, based on determining that the change is the first change, the electronic device (e.g., 500b) displays the portion of the shared document including the first change (and stops the display of the instant messaging conversation and the first visual indication) via the display generation component (e.g., 504b). In some embodiments, in response to receiving input selecting the selectable option, based on determining that the change is the first change, the electronic device displays the shared document scrolled to the portion of the document including the first change. In some embodiments, the electronic device displays the portion of the document including the first change with a visual indication (such as a highlight or a box around the first change in the shared document), and displays a second portion of the document that does not include the change without the visual indication.

[0231] In some embodiments, in response to receiving a selection of a selectable option (e.g., Figure 6CIn some embodiments, in response to receiving input selecting a selectable option, in response to determining that the change is the second change, the electronic device (e.g., 500b) displays the portion of the shared document including the second change (and stops the instant messaging conversation and the display of the second visual indication) via the display generating component (e.g., 504b). In some embodiments, in response to receiving input selecting the selectable option, in response to determining that the change is the second change, the electronic device displays the shared document scrolled to the portion of the document including the second change. In some embodiments, the electronic device displays the portion of the document including the second change with a visual indication (such as a highlight or a box around the second change in the shared document), and displays the second portion of the document that does not include the change without a visual indication. Displaying the portion of the shared document including the change in response to detecting the selection of the selectable option enhances the user's interaction with the electronic device by reducing the number of inputs required to review the changes to the shared document.

[0232] In some embodiments, while displaying an instant messaging conversation, the electronic device (e.g., 500b) detects indications of multiple changes to a shared document or two or more users, such as in Figure 6C In some embodiments, the plurality of changes are changes to the shared document without changes to the two or more users. In some embodiments, the plurality of changes are changes to the two or more users without changes to the shared document. In some embodiments, the plurality of changes include changes to the shared document and changes to the two or more users.

[0233] In some embodiments, when displaying an instant messaging conversation, in response to detecting an indication of multiple changes, the electronic device (e.g., 500b) displays a third visual indication (e.g., 614b) indicating multiple changes in the instant messaging user interface (e.g., 610) via a display generating component (e.g., 504b). In some embodiments, the third visual indication indicates the number of users who have made changes to the shared document without listing the names of the users who have made changes to the shared document. In some embodiments, the third visual indication indicates the number of users who have made changes to two or more users without listing the names of the users who have made changes to the two or more users. In some embodiments, in response to detecting an indication of a corresponding change to a shared document or two or more users while displaying the first or second visual indication in the user interface, the electronic device updates the user interface to stop displaying the first or second visual indication and displaying the third visual indication instead of displaying multiple visual indications of the change. Displaying the third visual indication in response to detecting an indication of multiple changes will enhance the user's interaction with the electronic device by displaying additional information without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed indications.

[0234] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6BIn some embodiments, the first or second indication includes an indication that an edit was made to the shared document, but does not include an indication of the content of the edit. Displaying an indication that an edit was made to the shared document enhances the user's interaction with the electronic device by providing improved visual feedback to the user.

[0235] In some embodiments, such as Fig. 6F In some embodiments, the change is one of the following: adding or removing a corresponding user from two or more users to an instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, the corresponding indication includes an indication of the user who made the change and / or an indication of the user who was added to or removed from two or more users in the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, in response to receiving one or more inputs of adding a user to an instant messaging conversation or removing a user from an instant messaging conversation, the electronic device displays a selectable option, which, when selected, causes the electronic device to add a user to a shared document or remove a user from a shared document according to one or more steps of method 900. Displaying an indication that a user is added to or removed from two or more users who can access an instant messaging conversation can enhance the interaction between the user and the electronic device by providing improved visual feedback to the user.

[0236] In some embodiments, while displaying an instant messaging conversation, the electronic device (e.g., 500b) detects indications of multiple changes made to a shared document by multiple users, such as in Figure 6C In some embodiments, the multiple changes to a shared document are edits to the content of the shared document. In some embodiments, the multiple changes are identical to each other. In some embodiments, the multiple changes are of the same change type (e.g., edits to a document, adding / removing a user from an instant messaging conversation), but the content of the changes (e.g., specific changes made to a document, specific users added to and / or removed from an instant messaging conversation) are different.

[0237] In some embodiments, in response to detecting an indication of multiple changes to a shared document made by multiple users while displaying an instant messaging conversation, the electronic device (e.g., 500b) displays a third visual indication (e.g., 618d) of multiple changes to a shared document made by multiple users via a display generation component (e.g., 504b), the third visual indication indicating the number of users in the multiple users in the instant messaging user interface (e.g., 610). In some embodiments, the third visual indication does not include the content of the edits to the shared document and includes an indication that the document is edited by multiple users. In some embodiments, in response to detecting a change to a shared document while displaying a first or second indication indicating a first change made to the shared document, the electronic device stops displaying the first or second indication and displays the third indication together with the instant messaging conversation. Displaying a third visual indication in response to detecting an indication of multiple changes enhances the user's interaction with the electronic device by displaying additional information without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed indications.

[0238] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6C In some embodiments, the plurality of users have a plurality of names, and the third visual indication (e.g., 614b) does not include (any of) the plurality of names of the plurality of users. In some embodiments, the third visual indication does not include an image associated with (any of) the plurality of users (e.g., an image included in the contact cards of the plurality of users). Displaying the third visual indication without the names of the plurality of users enhances user interaction with the electronic device by displaying additional information without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed indications.

[0239] In some embodiments, the change is to add the corresponding user who cannot access the shared document or instant messaging conversation to the instant messaging conversation, such as in Fig. 6F middle.

[0240] In some embodiments, such as Fig. 6FIn some embodiments, in response to detecting an indication of a change, the electronic device (e.g., 500b) displays a third visual indication of the change (e.g., 618d) in an instant messaging user interface (e.g., 610) via a display generating component (e.g., 504b), the third visual indication including a selectable option (e.g., 618g) that causes the electronic device (e.g., 500b) to add the corresponding user to a shared document when selected. In some embodiments, the third visual indication includes the name of the user added to the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, the third visual indication has one or more characteristics described below with reference to method 900, such as a selectable option that causes the electronic device to initiate a process of adding the corresponding user to a shared document when selected. Displaying the third visual indication in response to detecting a corresponding user added to an instant messaging conversation can enhance the user's interaction with the electronic device by reducing the input and time required to add the corresponding user to a shared document (in addition to the instant messaging conversation).

[0241] It should be understood that Figure 7 The specific order in which the operations in the description are described is merely exemplary and is not intended to indicate that the described order is the only order in which the operations may be performed. A person of ordinary skill in the art will recognize many ways to reorder the operations described herein. In addition, it should be noted that the details of other processes described herein in conjunction with other methods described herein (e.g., method 900 and / or 1100) are also applicable in a similar manner to the details of the processes described above in conjunction with the methods described herein. Figure 7 Method 700. For example, the operation of the electronic device displaying an indication of a change to a shared document and / or a user who can access an instant messaging conversation as described above with reference to method 700 optionally has one or more of the options for presenting an update of the user who can access the shared document and / or the instant messaging conversation and / or the characteristics of participating in a communication session associated with the shared document as described herein with reference to other methods described herein (e.g., methods 900 and / or 1100). For the sake of brevity, these details are not repeated here.

[0242] The operations in the above information processing method are optionally implemented by running one or more functional modules in an information processing device, such as a general-purpose processor (for example, in combination with Figure 1A to Figure 1B , Figure 3 , FIG. 5A to FIG. 5I In addition, the above reference Figure 7 The operation is optionally performed by Figure 1A to Figure 1B. For example, display operations 702, 710 and / or 712 and / or detection operation 706 are optionally implemented by event classifier 170, event identifier 180 and event handler 190. When a corresponding predefined event or sub-event is detected, event identifier 180 activates event handler 190 associated with the detection of the event or sub-event. Event handler 190 optionally utilizes or calls data updater 176 or object updater 177 to update application internal state 192. In some embodiments, event handler 190 accesses corresponding GUI updater 178 to update the content displayed by the application. Similarly, a person skilled in the art will clearly know how to update the content displayed by the application based on the GUI. Figure 1A to Figure 1B The components depicted in the figure implement other processes.

[0243] Manage user access to shared documents and instant messaging conversations

[0244] The user interacts with the electronic device in a variety of different ways. In some embodiments, the electronic device accesses a shared document that can be accessed by one or more other users and an instant messaging conversation that can be accessed by one or more other users. The embodiment described below provides an electronic device in response to a change in access to one of an instant messaging conversation or a shared document and displays an option of updating the user who can access the other user in the instant messaging conversation or the shared document. For example, the electronic device displays the option of adding a user to a shared document or removing a user from a shared document in response to a user being added to an instant messaging conversation or removed from an instant messaging conversation, and vice versa. Enhanced interaction with the device reduces the amount of time required for the user to perform an operation, thereby reducing the power consumption of the device and extending the battery life of a battery-powered device. It should be understood that people use the device. When a person uses the device, this person is optionally referred to as the user of the device.

[0245] FIG. 8A to FIG. 8W An exemplary manner of presenting an option to update a user who has access to a shared document and / or instant messaging conversation according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is illustrated. The embodiments in these figures are used to illustrate the process described below, including reference to FIG. 9A to FIG. 9B The process described.

[0246] Fig. 8A An example of an electronic device 500a displaying a document 806 in a user interface of a document editing and / or viewing application is illustrated. Fig. 8A When document 806 is displayed in the document 806, document 806 is not accessible to other users. In some embodiments, the user interface includes a return option 802a, a formatting option 802b, a sharing option 802c, a collaboration option 802d, a proofreading option 802e, and a soft keyboard 804, which are described in more detail above with reference to method 700. Fig. 8A As shown, electronic device 500a receives input (eg, including contact 803a) selecting sharing option 802c. Fig. 8A The electronic device 500a displays Figure 8B The sharing user interface shown.

[0247] Figure 8B Example of a response to Fig. 8A 806. The electronic device 500a is shown with inputs shown in the example, and displays a sharing user interface associated with the document 806. The sharing user interface includes an indication 812a of the name of the document 806, an option 812b to change settings for allowing other users to view the document 806 without editing the document 806 or allowing other users to view and edit the document 806, an option 812c to display additional sharing options, options 816a-816d for sharing the document with the corresponding user or the corresponding user group via the corresponding communication method, options 818a-e for sharing the document 806 using the corresponding communication method, an option 811a to copy the shared document 806, an option 811b to add the document 806 to a favorite document list, a user interface element 810a for adjusting the size of the sharing user interface, and an option 810b to close the sharing user interface without sharing the document 806.

[0248] In some embodiments, options 816a-816d are associated with a corresponding user or user group and a corresponding communication method, while options 818a-818e are associated with a corresponding communication method and are not specifically associated with a corresponding user. For example, in response to detecting a selection of one of options 816a-816d, the electronic device 500a initiates a process of sharing the document 806 with the user indicated by the selected option using the communication method indicated by the corresponding option. As another example, in response to detecting a selection of one of options 818a-818e, the electronic device 500a initiates a process of sharing the document 806 using the communication method identified by the selected option, and displays a user interface that enables the user of the electronic device 500a to select a user with whom the document is to be shared using the communication method.

[0249] exist Figure 8B , electronic device 500a receives input (e.g., including contact 803b) selecting option 816c to share document 806 with a corresponding instant messaging conversation in an instant messaging application. In some embodiments, in response to Figure 8B The electronic device 500a displays the input shown in the example Figure 8C An instant messaging user interface illustrated in .

[0250] Figure 8C The example shows the response to Figure 8BIn some embodiments, the electronic device 500a displays an instant messaging user interface for sharing a document based on the input detected in the document. Figure 8C The instant messaging user interface in Figure 8B The instant message conversation that corresponds to the option you selected. Figure 8C The instant messaging user interface includes a return option 822a, a conversation setup option 822b, a video conference option 822c, message indications 826a-b, a message composition field 827, and an option 828b to send the message shown in the message composition field 827 as described above with reference to method 700.

[0251] like Figure 8C As shown, in some embodiments, the instant messaging user interface includes an indication 830a of a message to share a document in the message composition field 827 because the electronic device 500a displays the instant messaging conversation in response to an input for sharing a document with the instant messaging conversation in the instant messaging user interface. The indication 830a of the message to share a document includes an indication 812a of the name of the document, an option 812b to view settings for sharing a document with editing permission or with permission to view the document without editing, an option 812c to change additional settings for sharing a document, and an option 810b to stop displaying the indication 830a of the message to share a document in the instant messaging user interface and maintain display of the instant messaging conversation.

[0252] In some embodiments, in response to detecting a selection of option 828b to send a message in message composition field 827 while displaying indication 830a of a message for sharing a document, electronic device 500a shares the document with currently selected sharing settings, including sharing the document as a read-only document without allowing other users to edit the document. In some embodiments, in response to receiving a selection of option 812b or 812c, and subsequently receiving one or more inputs for changing settings for sharing a document, electronic device 500a changes settings for sharing a document. In some embodiments, in response to detecting a selection of option 828b to send a message after detecting an input for changing settings for sharing a document, electronic device 500a sends a message to share the document with settings updated in response to the input.

[0253] For example, Figure 8C As shown, electronic device 500a receives input (eg, including contact 803c) selecting option 812b for viewing options for changing the editing permissions of a document. Figure 8C The electronic device 500a displays the input Fig.8D options shown.

[0254] Fig.8D shows the display response to Figure 8CIn some embodiments, in response to the input shown, the electronic device 500a of the instant messaging user interface is updated. Figure 8C In the input, the electronic device 500a displays options 832a and 832b in the instant messaging user interface, such as Fig.8D For example, option 832a is an option to share a document with a read-only permission that enables other users to view the document but not edit the document, and option 832b is an option to share a document with an edit permission that enables the user to view and edit the document. Fig.8D As shown, electronic device 500a detects input (eg, including contact 803d) selecting option 832b to share a document with editing permission. Fig.8D The electronic device 500a updates the message indication 830a to indicate that the document with editing permission will be shared, such as Fig. 8E shown.

[0255] Fig. 8E The example shows the response to Fig.8D The electronic device 500a is provided with an indication 830a of a message updated according to the input illustrated in FIG. Fig. 8E As shown, the indication 830a of the message for sharing the document includes an indication 812d that the document will be shared with editing permission, which allows other users to view and edit the shared document. In some embodiments, the electronic device 500a receives input (e.g., including contact 803e) selecting option 828b to send the message sharing the document with editing permission to the instant messaging conversation. In response to Fig. 8E The electronic device updates the instant messaging user interface to show that the message for sharing the document has been sent, such as Fig.8F shown.

[0256] Fig.8F The electronic device 500a showing an updated instant messaging user interface including a message 830b for sharing the shared document is illustrated. Fig.8F As shown, the message 830b sharing the shared document includes an indication 812a of the title of the shared document and an option 812e that, when selected, causes the electronic device 500a to view the shared document. In some embodiments, option 812e indicates "collaboration" because the document is being shared with edit permission. In some embodiments, if a document has been shared with view permission but not edit permission, option 812e will indicate "view" or "read" instead of "collaboration". Fig.8F As shown, electronic device 500a receives input of option 812e for selecting to view a shared document. Fig.8FThe electronic device 500a stops displaying the instant messaging user interface and displays the shared document, such as Figure 8G shown.

[0257] Figure 8G Example of a response to Fig.8F The electronic device 500a that displays the shared document 806 based on the input shown in the example. Fig.8F , electronic device 500a receives input (eg, including contact 803g) selecting collaboration menu option 802d. Figure 8G The illustrated input, electronic device 500a displays a collaboration menu overlaid on the shared document 806, such as Figure 8H shown.

[0258] Figure 8H An electronic device 500a is illustrated displaying a collaboration menu 842 overlaid on a shared document 806. In some embodiments, the collaboration menu 842 includes an image 834c associated with the instant messaging conversation with which the document 806 is shared, an indication 834a of the title of the shared document 806, an indication 834b of the instant messaging conversation with which the document 806 is shared, an option 834e to view additional settings related to the document, options 836a-836c to contact the user with whom the document is shared, indications 838a and 838b of previous revisions made to the document, indications 840a and 840b of the users with whom the document 806 is shared, and an option 8340c to share the document 806 with additional users.

[0259] In some embodiments, the image 834c associated with the instant messaging conversation is an image selected in the settings user interface associated with the instant messaging conversation. Figure 8H As shown, image 834c includes an image associated with the user in the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, the name of the instant messaging conversation included in indication 834b is the name selected in the settings user interface associated with the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, such as Figure 8H As shown, the name of the instant messaging conversation includes the names of other users in the instant messaging conversation.

[0260] In some embodiments, options 836a-836c include option 836a to send a message to the user with whom the document 806 is shared, option 836b to initiate a phone call with the user with whom the document 806 is shared, and option 836c to initiate a video conference with the user with whom the document is shared. In some embodiments, in response to detecting a selection of option 836a, electronic device 500a displays a FIG. 8C to FIG. 8F836c and an instant messaging user interface as described with reference to one or more steps of method 700 and / or 1100. In some embodiments, electronic device 500a initiates a telephone call with the user with whom document 806 is shared in response to detecting the selection of option 836b. In some embodiments, electronic device 500a initiates a video conference with the user with whom document 806 is shared in response to detecting the selection of option 836c, optionally including one or more steps of method 1100.

[0261] like Figure 8H As shown, the collaboration menu 842 includes an indication 838a of edits made to the shared document 806. In some embodiments, the indication 838a includes an indication of the user who edited the document 806 and a timestamp of when the edit was made. Figure 8H As shown, indication 838a does not include an indication of the content of edits made to the shared document 806. In some embodiments, collaboration menu 842 includes an indication 838b of the document 806 being created, including an indication of the user who created the document and a timestamp corresponding to when the document 806 was created.

[0262] like Figure 8H As shown, the collaboration menu 842 includes indications 840a and 840b of users who can access the shared document 806. In some embodiments, in response to receiving a selection of one of the indications 840a or 840b (such as detecting a tap at the location of one of the indications 840a or 840b), the electronic device 500a displays a contact card user interface for the user corresponding to the selected indication. In some embodiments, in response to detecting a swipe input on one of the indications 840a or 840b, the electronic device 500a initiates a process to remove the user from access to the shared document 806. For example, Figure 8H As shown, electronic device 500a receives input including a swipe on indication 840b (eg, contact 803h) of one of the users. Figure 8H As shown in the input, the electronic device 500a displays an option to remove the user associated with the indication 840b from the shared document 806, such as Fig.8I shown.

[0263] Fig.8I Example of a response to Figure 8H The document user interface is updated based on the input shown in the example. Fig.8I As shown, the user interface includes an option 844 to remove the user associated with the indication 840b from the shared document 806. Fig.8I , electronic device 500a receives input (eg, via contact 803i) selecting option 844. Fig.8IThe illustrated input, electronic device 500a presents options for removing the user from the document only or from both the document and the instant messaging conversation, such as Figure 8J shown.

[0264] Figure 8J This example only responds to Fig.8I In some embodiments, the electronic device 500a displays an option 848a to remove the user from the instant messaging conversation and the shared document and an option 848b to remove the user from the shared document based on the input illustrated in FIG. 806. In some embodiments, the options 848a and 848b are displayed in an indication 846 displayed overlaid on the shared document 806, which asks the user of the electronic device 500a whether the other user should be removed from the instant messaging conversation in addition to being removed from the shared document. Figure 8J As shown, indication 846 also includes an option 848c to stop display of indication 846 without removing the user from the shared document or instant messaging conversation. Figure 8J The electronic device 500a is illustrated receiving input (e.g., including contact 803j) selecting option 848b to remove the user from the shared document without removing the user from the instant messaging conversation. Figure 8J The electronic device 500a removes the user from the shared document 806 and updates the shared document user interface, such as Figure 8K shown.

[0265] Figure 8K The example shows a display having a response to Figure 8J The electronic device 500a of the user interface of the shared document 806 updated by the illustrated input and the second electronic device 500b of the instant message conversation belonging to the user removed from the shared document. Figure 8K As shown, the electronic device 500a that removes the user from the shared document 806 displays the shared document 806 in the user interface, wherein the user is no longer indicated in the collaboration menu 842 that the user has been removed, because the user can no longer access the shared document. The electronic device 500a also updates the collaboration menu 842 to include the indication 834h of the user with whom the document 806 is shared and the text 834d indicating that the document is shared with the user, instead of the indication of the user group with which the document 806 is shared and the text of the instant messaging conversation indicating the user group, because the document 806 is no longer shared with the user group. In some embodiments, when the shared document 806 can be accessed by a subset of users in the sharing conversation, selecting the communication options 836a-c can cause the electronic device 500a to initiate and communicate with the user with whom the document 806 is shared, rather than with the communication of the user group in the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, when the shared document 806 can be accessed by a subset of users in the sharing conversation, selecting the communication options 836a-c can cause the electronic device 500a to initiate and communicate with the user group.

[0266] Figure 8K Also illustrated is the response to FIG. 8I to FIG. 8J In some embodiments, in response to the user being removed from the shared document without being removed from the instant messaging conversation, the second electronic device 500b displays an indication in the instant messaging conversation similar to the indication described above with reference to method 700. For example, the indication indicates that the user is removed from the shared document and optionally includes an option to remove the user from the instant messaging conversation.

[0267] exist Figure 8K In the example, the second electronic device 500b displays an instant messaging conversation including an indication 830b of the message that originally shared the shared document 806. FIG. 8B to FIG. 8F As depicted, the indication 830b of the message includes a selectable option 812e that, when selected while the user of the second electronic device 500b is able to access the shared document, causes the second electronic device 500b to display the shared document. Figure 8K , the user of the second electronic device 500b cannot access the shared document, so selecting option 812e does not cause the second electronic device 500b to display the shared document. Figure 8K In the example, the second electronic device 500b detects the selection of the option 812e to access the shared document (eg, via contact 803k). Figure 8K , the user of electronic device 500b cannot access the shared document, so in response to Figure 8K The second electronic device 500b abandons presenting the shared document, such as Figure 8L exemplified.

[0268] Figure 8L An example of a second electronic device 500b is illustrated, which presents an indication 829 that the user of the second electronic device 500b can no longer access the shared document and therefore will not respond to the Figure 8K In some embodiments, in response to the input received by the second electronic device 500b in Figure 8K The electronic device 500b maintains the input as shown. Figure 8K The instant messaging conversation is shown instead of Figure 8L The illustrated indication 829. In some embodiments, in response to Figure 8K In response to the input illustrated, the electronic device 500b displays a user interface of a document editing and / or viewing application associated with the shared document, without displaying the shared document. Figure 8KFor the illustrated input, electronic device 500b displays indication 829 in a document editing and / or viewing application user interface rather than an instant messaging user interface.

[0269] like Figure 8L As shown, indication 829 includes text notifying the user of second electronic device 500b that the user can no longer access the shared document and option 831 which, when selected, causes second electronic device 500b to stop displaying indication 829 in the instant messaging user interface.

[0270] In some embodiments, in response to adding a user who is currently unable to access the instant messaging conversation to the shared document, the electronic device 500a presents an option to add the user to the instant messaging conversation. For example, Figure 8M A collaboration menu 842 is illustrated overlaid on a shared document 806, and users in an instant messaging conversation are able to access the shared document. Figure 8M , the collaboration menu includes an image 834c and an indication 834b indicating that the document is shared with the user in the instant messaging conversation, and indications 840a and 840b of the users (who are also in the instant messaging conversation) who can access the shared document. Figure 8M As shown, electronic device 500a receives input (e.g., including contact 803m) selecting option 840c to add another user to the shared document. Figure 8M For the illustrated input, the electronic device 500a displays an option to add the user to the shared document without adding the user to the instant messaging conversation and an option to add the user to the shared document and the instant messaging conversation, such as Figure 8N shown.

[0271] Figure 8N An electronic device 500a is illustrated that displays an indication 850 overlaid on a shared document 806 and a collaboration menu 842, the collaboration menu including an option 852a to add the user to the shared document and the instant messaging conversation and an option 852b to add the user to the shared document without adding the user to the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, the indication 850 includes text asking the user whether to add the user to the shared document and whether to add the user to the instant messaging conversation or not, and an option 852c that, when selected, causes the electronic device 500a to stop displaying the indication 850 without adding the user to the shared document or the instant messaging conversation. Figure 8N As shown, electronic device 500a receives input (e.g., including contact 803n) selecting option 852a to add the user to the shared document and instant messaging conversation. Figure 8N The electronic device 500a updates the document editing and / or viewing user interface, such as Fig.8O shown.

[0272] Fig.8O An example of a method having a response to Figure 8N The document editing and / or viewing user interface of the shared document 806 is updated based on the input illustrated. Fig.8O , the collaboration menu 842 is updated to include an indication 834g and text 834f, which reflects the response to Figure 8N The illustrated input is added to the updated instant messaging conversation of the user of the shared document. In some embodiments, the collaboration menu 842 is further updated to include an indication 840d of the user added to the shared document 806.

[0273] In some embodiments, in response to adding or removing a user to or from an instant messaging conversation without adding or removing the user from a shared document, the electronic device 500a presents an option to add or remove the user to or from the shared document in addition to the instant messaging conversation. Figure 8P In response to FIG. 8M to FIG. 8O The electronic device 500a of the instant messaging conversation is displayed after the user is added to the instant messaging conversation and the shared document according to the illustrated input sequence. In some embodiments, the instant messaging conversation includes a message 830b sharing the shared document and a message 830b sharing the shared document. FIG. 8M to FIG. 8O Instructions for users added in 854. Figure 8P In the example, electronic device 500a receives input (eg, including contact 803p) selecting option 822e to view a settings user interface associated with an instant messaging conversation. Figure 8P The electronic device 500a displays the input Figure 8Q The settings user interface in .

[0274] Figure 8Q Example of a response to Figure 8P The electronic device 500a displays a setup user interface associated with an instant messaging conversation based on the input illustrated in FIG. The setup user interface includes an option 856a to navigate back to the instant messaging conversation, an image 856b associated with the instant messaging conversation, options 858a-858c for contacting participants in the instant messaging conversation using a communication method other than the instant messaging conversation, indications 860b-860d of users in the instant messaging conversation, and an option 860e to add another user to the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, Figure 8Q The elements of the settings user interface illustrated in are similar to the elements in the instant messaging conversation user interface described above with reference to method 700. Figure 8Q , electronic device 500a receives input (e.g., including movement of contact 803q) corresponding to a request to display an option to remove the user associated with indication 860c from the instant messaging conversation. Figure 8QThe electronic device 500a updates the indication 860c to include an option to remove the user from the instant messaging conversation, such as Figure 8R shown.

[0275] Figure 8R Example of a response to Figure 8Q In some embodiments, in response to the input illustrated in Figure 8Q In response to the input in, the electronic device 500a updates the settings user interface to include an option 862 to remove the user associated with the indication 860c from the instant messaging conversation, such as Figure 8R As shown. Figure 8R , electronic device 500a receives input (e.g., including contact 803r) selecting option 862 to remove the user from the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, in response to Figure 8R The illustrated input, electronic device 500a removes the user from the instant messaging conversation without removing the user from the shared document, such as Figure 8S shown.

[0276] Figure 8S Example of a response to Figure 8R In some embodiments, in response to the instant messaging session being updated and the instant messaging session being removed from the instant messaging session, the user interface is configured to be updated and the user is removed from the instant messaging session. Figure 8R In the input, electronic device 500a removes the user from the instant messaging conversation, but does not remove the user from the shared document. Figure 8S , the electronic device 500a displays a user interface that is updated to no longer include an indication of the user being removed from the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, the updated user interface includes an indication 856c of the user remaining in the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, the electronic device 500a displays an indication overlaid on the settings user interface that includes an option to remove the user from both the instant messaging conversation and the shared document and an option to remove the user from the instant messaging conversation without removing the user from the shared document. In some embodiments, the indication is similar to the above-referenced instructions, respectively. Figure 8J and Figure 8N The instructions 846 and 850 are described. Figure 8S As shown, electronic device 500a receives input (e.g., including contact 803s) for selecting option 856a to stop display of the instant messaging conversation setting user interface and return to the instant messaging conversation. Figure 8S The electronic device 500a displays an instant message conversation, such as Figure 8T shown.

[0277] Figure 8TAn example of an electronic device 500a showing an instant messaging conversation after one of the users is removed from the instant messaging conversation without being removed from a shared document is illustrated. In some embodiments, the electronic device 500a displays the indications 866 and 864 that the user is added to the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, the indication 866 has one or more characteristics common to the indication described with reference to method 700 above. For example, the indication 866 includes a text indicating that the user is removed from the conversation and asking the user whether the user should be added to the shared document, a selectable option 868a that makes the electronic device 500a stop indicating 866 when selected and not adding the user to the shared document, and a selectable option 868b that makes the electronic device 500a add the user to the shared document when selected. In some embodiments, when the instant messaging conversation is displayed, the electronic devices of other users in the instant messaging conversation display the indication 866 covered on the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, the electronic device 500a of the user who adds another user to the conversation displays the indication 866, but other electronic devices in the instant messaging conversation do not display the indication 866 when displaying the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, in response to detecting selection of option 868b, electronic device 500a adds the user to the shared document and stops displaying indication 866, and optionally causes other electronic devices in the instant messaging conversation to stop displaying indication 866 when displaying the instant messaging conversation.

[0278] like Figure 8T As shown, electronic device 500a detects selection of option 822f (eg, including contact 803t) to display a settings user interface for an instant messaging conversation. Figure 8T The electronic device 500a displays a user interface for setting up an instant messaging conversation, such as Figure 8U shown.

[0279] Figure 8U Example of a response to Figure 8T An electronic device 500a that displays a setting user interface for an instant messaging conversation based on the input illustrated in FIG. Figure 8S The user interface is the same as shown. Figure 8U As shown, electronic device 500a receives input of option 860e selecting (e.g., by contacting) to add another user to the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, in response to Figure 8U In response to the input illustrated, the electronic device 500a initiates a process of adding another user to the instant messaging conversation, which optionally includes displaying a user interface for selecting or searching for a contact to be added to the instant messaging conversation and / or for entering a phone number, email address, or other instant messaging address of another person to be added to the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, in response to receiving the input including Figure 8U In response to the input sequence of the input in and the one or more additional inputs of the user to be added to the instant messaging conversation, the electronic device 500a updates the message conversation setting user interface to indicate that the user has been added to the instant messaging conversation, such as Figure 8V shown.

[0280] Figure 8V The example displays a response including Figure 8U An electronic device 500a that updates an instant messaging conversation setting user interface based on an input sequence for adding another user to an instant messaging conversation. Figure 8V As shown, in response to including Figure 8U In some embodiments, the electronic device 500a displays an indication overlaid on the settings user interface, which includes an option to remove the user from both the instant messaging conversation and the shared document and an option to remove the user from the instant messaging conversation without removing the user from the shared document. In some embodiments, the indication is similar to the above referenced instructions respectively. Figure 8J and Figure 8N The instructions 846 and 850 are described. Figure 8V As shown, electronic device 500a receives input (e.g., including contact 803v) for selecting option 856a to stop display of the instant messaging conversation setting user interface and return to the instant messaging conversation. Figure 8V The electronic device 500a displays an instant message conversation, such as Figure 8W shown.

[0281] Figure 8W Example of a response to Figure 8VThe electronic device 500a of instant messaging conversation is displayed according to the illustrated input. In some embodiments, the instant messaging conversation is updated to include indications 872 and 870 that another user is added to the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, indication 872 has one or more characteristics of the indication described above with reference to method 700. For example, indication 872 includes text indicating that the user is added to the instant messaging conversation and a prompt asking whether to add the user to a shared document, option 868a to stop the display of indication 872 without adding the user to a shared document, and option 868c to add the user to a shared document. In some embodiments, when the instant messaging conversation is displayed, other electronic devices that can access the instant messaging conversation and the shared document also display the indication 872 covered on the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, if the user is added to the shared document, the electronic device stops displaying the indication 872 covered on the instant messaging conversation when the instant messaging conversation is displayed.

[0282] FIG. 9A to FIG. 9B 1 is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary method 900 for presenting an option to update a user who can access a shared document and / or an instant messaging conversation according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Method 900 is optionally performed at an electronic device such as device 100, device 300, device 500, device 501, device 510, and device 591, as described above with reference to Figure 1A to Figure 1B , Figures 2 to 3 , FIG. 4A to FIG. 4B and FIG. 5A to FIG. 5I Some operations in method 900 are optionally combined, and / or the order of some operations is optionally changed.

[0283] As described below, method 900 provides interaction with shared documents and / or instant messaging conversations. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user when interacting with the device user interface of the present disclosure, thereby creating a more efficient human-computer interface. For battery-powered electronic devices, improving the efficiency of user interaction with the user interface saves power and increases the time between battery charges.

[0284] In some embodiments, method 900 is performed at an electronic device (e.g., 500a) that communicates with a display generation component (e.g., 504a) and one or more input devices, such as Fig. 8A For example, the electronic device is the electronic device described above with reference to method 700. In some embodiments, the display generation component is the display generation component described above with reference to method 700.

[0285] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8JIn some embodiments, when a first user group including users of an electronic device (e.g., 500a) is able to access an instant messaging conversation, and when the first user group is able to access a shared document, the electronic device (e.g., 500a) receives (902) an input associated with a shared document or an instant messaging conversation via one or more input devices. In some embodiments, before the electronic device receives the input, the shared document and the instant messaging conversation are accessible to the same first user group. In some embodiments, the shared document has one or more characteristics of the shared document described above with reference to method 700. In some embodiments, the instant messaging conversation has one or more characteristics of the instant messaging conversation described above with reference to method 700.

[0286] In some embodiments, in response to receiving the input (904), based on determining that the input corresponds to a request to make the instant messaging conversation accessible to a second user group that is different from the first user group (but not accessible to the first user group) while the shared document remains accessible to the first user group (906) (but not accessible to the second user group), such as in Figure 8R In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 500a) updates the instant messaging conversation (908) to be accessible by the second user group (but not by the first user group) and the shared document remains accessible by the first user group (but not by the second user group). In some embodiments, when the user interface of the instant messaging application associated with the instant messaging conversation is displayed and / or the user interface of the instant messaging application is directed to (and optionally when the shared document is not displayed and / or optionally when the shared document or the user interface associated with the shared document is not directed to), an input corresponding to a request to enable the instant messaging conversation to be accessible by the second user group and the shared document remains accessible by the first user group is received. In some embodiments, the input corresponds to a request to add the corresponding user to the instant messaging conversation without adding the corresponding user to the shared document. In some embodiments, the input corresponds to a request to remove the corresponding user from the instant messaging conversation without removing the corresponding user from the shared document. In some embodiments, according to one or more steps of method 700, the instant messaging conversation is updated to be accessible by the second user group so that the electronic device of the user included in the second user group displays a visual indication of the change of the user who can access the instant messaging conversation in the instant messaging conversation.

[0287] In some embodiments, in response to receiving input (904), based on determining that the input corresponds to a request to enable the instant messaging conversation to be accessible to a second user group that is different from the first user group (but not to the first user group) while the shared document remains accessible to the first user group (906) (but not to the second user group), the electronic device (e.g., 500a) displays (910) a selectable option (e.g., 868b) via a display generating component (e.g., 504a), which, when selected, causes the electronic device (e.g., 500a) to update the shared document to be accessible to the second user group (but not to the first user group), such as in Figure 8T In some embodiments, the selectable option is displayed in the user interface of the instant messaging application associated with the instant messaging conversation (and not in the user interface associated with the instant messaging conversation). In some embodiments, if the input corresponds to a request to add the corresponding user to the instant messaging conversation without adding the corresponding user to the shared document, in response to detecting the selection of the selectable option, the electronic device adds the corresponding user to the shared document. In some embodiments, if the input corresponds to a request to remove the corresponding user from the instant messaging conversation without removing the corresponding user from the shared document, in response to detecting the selection of the selectable option, the electronic device removes the corresponding user from the shared document. In some embodiments, according to one or more steps of method 700, detecting the selection of the selectable option enables the electronic device capable of accessing the instant messaging conversation to display an indication of the change of the user capable of accessing the shared document in the user interface presenting the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, if the electronic device does not detect the selection of the selectable option, the electronic device abandons updating the user capable of accessing the shared document, so the instant messaging conversation will be accessible by the second user group and the shared document will be accessible by the first user group at the same time.

[0288] In some embodiments, in response to receiving input (904), based on determining that the input corresponds to a request to make a shared document accessible to the second user group (but not to the first user group) while the instant messaging conversation remains accessible to the first user group (912) (but not to the second user group), the electronic device (e.g., 500a) updates the shared document (914) to be accessible to the second user group (but not to the first user group) while the instant messaging conversation remains accessible to the first user group (but not to the second user group), such as in Figure 8KIn some embodiments, when displaying a user interface associated with a shared document and / or being directed to a user interface associated with a shared document (and optionally when not displaying an instant messaging conversation and / or optionally not being directed to an instant messaging conversation or a user interface associated with an instant messaging conversation), an input corresponding to a request to enable a shared document to be accessed by a second user group while the instant messaging conversation remains accessible to the first user group is received. In some embodiments, the input corresponds to a request to add the corresponding user to the shared document without adding the corresponding user to the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, the input corresponds to a request to remove the corresponding user from the shared document without removing the corresponding user from the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, according to one or more steps of method 700, the shared document is updated to be accessible by the second user group so that the electronic device of the user who can access the instant messaging conversation displays a visual indication in the instant messaging conversation indicating a change in the user who can access the shared document.

[0289] In some embodiments, in response to receiving input (904), based on determining that the input corresponds to a request to make the shared document accessible to the second user group (but not to the first user group) while maintaining the instant messaging conversation accessible to the first user group (912) (but not to the second user group), the electronic device (e.g., 500a) displays (916) a selectable option (e.g., 848a) via a display generating component (e.g., 504a) that, when selected, causes the electronic device (e.g., 500a) to update the instant messaging conversation to be accessible to the second user group (but not to the first user group), such as in Figure 8JIn some embodiments, the selectable option is displayed in the user interface of the application associated with the shared document (and not in the user interface associated with the instant messaging conversation). In some embodiments, if the input corresponds to a request to add the corresponding user to the shared document without adding the corresponding user to the instant messaging conversation, in response to detecting the selection of the selectable option, the electronic device adds the corresponding user to the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, if the input corresponds to a request to remove the corresponding user from the shared document without removing the corresponding user from the instant messaging conversation, in response to detecting the selection of the selectable option, the electronic device removes the corresponding user from the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, according to one or more steps of method 700, detecting the selection of the selectable option enables the electronic device capable of accessing the instant messaging conversation to display an indication of the change of the user capable of accessing the instant messaging conversation in the user interface presenting the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, if the electronic device does not detect the selection of the selectable option, the electronic device abandons updating the user capable of accessing the instant messaging conversation, so the instant messaging conversation will be accessible to the first user group and the shared document will be accessible to the second user group at the same time. In some embodiments, in response to detecting an input corresponding to a request to enable an instant messaging conversation to be accessible to a second user group while a shared document remains accessible to a first user group or a request to enable a shared document to be accessible to a second user group while a shared messaging conversation remains accessible to a first user group, the electronic device displays a selectable option that, when selected, causes the electronic device to enable the shared document and the instant messaging conversation to be accessible to the second user group. Displaying the option to enable the shared document and the instant messaging conversation to be accessible to the second user group in response to detecting an input corresponding to a request to enable the instant messaging conversation to be accessible to the second user group while a shared document remains accessible to the first user group or a request to enable the shared document to be accessible to the second user group while a shared messaging conversation remains accessible to the first user group enhances user interaction with the electronic device by reducing the number of inputs used to synchronize the user group that can access the shared document with the user group that can access the instant messaging conversation.

[0290] In some embodiments, the instant messaging conversation includes a message sharing the shared document, and the indication of the message in the instant messaging conversation (e.g., 830b) includes a selectable option to access the shared document (e.g., 812e), such as in Fig.8F In some embodiments, the indication of the message also includes an indication of the name of the document. In some embodiments, the indication of the message is displayed in association with an indication of the user sharing the document (such as the user's name and / or an image associated with the user, such as an image included in the user's contact card).

[0291] In some embodiments, such as Fig.8F , while displaying the instant messaging conversation, the electronic device (eg, 500a) receives input corresponding to a selection of a selectable option (eg, 812e) to access a shared document via one or more input devices.

[0292] In some embodiments, in response to receiving an input corresponding to a selection of a selectable option (e.g., 812e) to access a shared document, such as in Fig.8F In the example of FIG. 5 , based on determining that the shared document can be accessed by a user of the electronic device (e.g., 500a), the electronic device (e.g., 500a) displays the shared document (806) via a display generation component (e.g., 504a), such as in Figure 8G In some embodiments, sharing the shared document with the instant messaging conversation enables the shared document to be accessed by users in the instant messaging conversation unless and until the corresponding user is removed from the shared document. In some embodiments, displaying the shared document includes stopping the display of the instant messaging conversation.

[0293] In some embodiments, in response to receiving an input corresponding to a selection of a selectable option (e.g., 812e) to access a shared document, such as in Figure 8K In the example of FIG. 5 , based on determining that the shared document cannot be accessed by the user of the electronic device (e.g., 500b), the electronic device (e.g., 500b) abandons displaying the shared document via the display generation component (e.g., 504b), such as in FIG. Figure 8L In some embodiments, a user cannot access a shared document because another user removes the user from the shared document (after being able to access the shared document) according to one or more techniques described herein. In some embodiments, in response to receiving input, based on determining that the shared document cannot be accessed by the user of the electronic device, the electronic device maintains the display of the instant messaging conversation and / or displays an error message indicating that the user cannot access the shared document. In some embodiments, the electronic device displays an indication of a message sharing the shared document, regardless of whether the user can access the shared document. In some embodiments, when the user accesses the shared document, in response to detecting a selection of an option included in the message, the electronic device displays the shared document. Selectively accessing a shared document in response to receiving input selecting a selectable option enhances the user's interaction with the electronic device by improving user privacy.

[0294] In some embodiments, in response to receiving the input, the request to enable the shared document (e.g., 806) to be accessible to the corresponding user not included in the first user group (without adding the corresponding user to the instant messaging conversation) is performed according to determining that the input corresponds to a request (such as in Figure 8M), the electronic device (e.g., 500a) updates the shared document (e.g., 806) to be accessible to the first user group and the corresponding user (without making the instant message conversation accessible to the corresponding user).

[0295] In some embodiments, in response to receiving input, according to determining that the input corresponds to a request to enable a shared document (e.g., 806) to be accessed by a corresponding user not included in the first user group (without adding the corresponding user to the instant messaging conversation), the electronic device (e.g., 500a) displays a selectable option (e.g., 852a) via a display generation component (e.g., 504a), which, when selected, enables the electronic device (e.g., 500a) to update the instant messaging conversation to be accessible by the first user group and the corresponding user. In some embodiments, the input is received when displaying the shared document, and the selectable option is displayed simultaneously with the shared document. In some embodiments, according to one or more steps of the above method 700, the selectable option is displayed in the indication of the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the selection of the selectable option, the first user group and the corresponding user can access the instant messaging conversation and the shared document. In some embodiments, the corresponding user can access the shared document but cannot access the instant messaging conversation unless and until the input of granting the corresponding user access to the instant messaging conversation and / or the input of removing the corresponding user from the shared document is received. Displaying an update to an instant messaging conversation as accessible to a respective user in response to input for making a shared document accessible to the respective user enhances user interaction with an electronic device by reducing the amount of input required to resolve the difference between users who can access the shared document and users who can access the instant messaging conversation.

[0296] In some embodiments, before displaying selectable options (e.g., Figure 8N 842b) in (the selectable option, when selected, causes the electronic device to update the instant messaging conversation to be accessible by the first user group and the corresponding user and to simultaneously share the document (e.g., Figure 8N 806) is accessible to the first user group and the corresponding user (and the instant messaging conversation is accessible to the first user group and not accessible to the corresponding user)), the electronic device (e.g., 500a) receives input selecting a selectable option (e.g., 842b) via one or more input devices, which, when selected, causes the electronic device (e.g., 500a) to update the instant messaging conversation to be accessible to the first user group and the corresponding user.

[0297] In some embodiments, in response to receiving a selection of a selectable option (e.g., Figure 8NIn some embodiments, the instant messaging conversation cannot be accessed by the corresponding user unless and until a request to add the corresponding user to the instant messaging conversation is received. Adding the corresponding user to the instant messaging conversation and the shared document can enhance the user's interaction with the electronic device by reducing the number of inputs required to send a message to a user who can access the shared document.

[0298] In some embodiments, in response to receiving the input, the user is prompted to request that the shared document be accessible to a corresponding user not included in the first user group, such as in Figures 8M to 8N ), the electronic device (e.g., 500a) abandons updating the instant messaging conversation to be accessible by the corresponding user (e.g., unless and until the electronic device detects a selection of a selectable option that, when selected, causes the electronic device to update the instant messaging conversation to be accessible by the first user group and the corresponding user, receives another input that allows the corresponding user to access the instant messaging conversation, and / or receives an indication that another user in the first user group allows the corresponding user to access the instant messaging conversation). In some embodiments, in response to receiving an input corresponding to a request to enable the shared document to be accessible by the corresponding user, the electronic device displays an option to add the corresponding user to the group instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, the option is displayed as an overlay on the shared document. In some embodiments, in response to receiving an input corresponding to a request to enable the shared document to be accessible by the corresponding user, the electronic device additionally displays the following option: stop displaying the option to add the corresponding user to the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, in response to detecting a selection of an option to stop displaying the option to add the corresponding user to the instant messaging conversation, the electronic device abandons updating the instant messaging conversation to be accessible by the corresponding user. Abandoning the addition of the corresponding user to the instant messaging conversation enhances the user's interaction with the electronic device by improving user privacy.

[0299] In some embodiments, in response to receiving the input, the shared document is inaccessible to the corresponding user included in the first user group (e.g., without removing the corresponding user from the instant messaging conversation, and optionally without removing any other users from the first user group from the shared document) according to determining that the input corresponds to a request to make the shared document inaccessible to the corresponding user included in the first user group (e.g., without removing the corresponding user from the instant messaging conversation, and optionally without removing any other users from the first user group from the shared document) (such as in Fig.8IIn some embodiments, in response to receiving the input, based on determining that the input corresponds to a request to make the shared document inaccessible to the corresponding user, the electronic device abandons updating the shared document to be inaccessible to one or more additional users in the first user group.

[0300] In some embodiments, in response to receiving the input, the shared document is inaccessible to the corresponding user included in the first user group (e.g., without removing the corresponding user from the instant messaging conversation, and optionally without removing any other users from the first user group from the shared document) according to determining that the input corresponds to a request to make the shared document inaccessible to the corresponding user included in the first user group (e.g., without removing the corresponding user from the instant messaging conversation, and optionally without removing any other users from the first user group from the shared document) (such as in Fig.8I ), the electronic device (e.g., 500a) displays a selectable option (e.g., 848a) via a display generation component, which, when selected, causes the electronic device to update the instant messaging conversation to be inaccessible to the corresponding user, such as in Figure 8J In some embodiments, input is received when the electronic device displays a shared document. In some embodiments, the electronic device displays selectable options overlaid on the shared document. In some embodiments, updating the instant messaging conversation to be inaccessible to the user will remove the user from the instant messaging conversation so that the additional message sent to the instant messaging conversation is not sent to the user. In some embodiments, the user removed from the instant messaging conversation cannot access the message sent to the instant messaging conversation and at the same time they can access the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, the user removed from the instant messaging conversation can access the message sent to the instant messaging conversation and at the same time they can access the instant messaging conversation, but does not receive the message added to the instant messaging conversation after it is removed from the instant messaging conversation. Displaying that updating the instant messaging conversation to be inaccessible to the corresponding user in response to an input for updating the shared document to be inaccessible to the corresponding user will enhance the interaction between the user and the electronic device by reducing the number of inputs required to resolve the difference between the user who can access the instant messaging conversation and the user who can access the shared document.

[0301] In some embodiments, in response to receiving the input, the user is prompted to initiate the instant messaging conversation based on determining that the input corresponds to a request to enable the instant messaging conversation to be accessible to a corresponding user not included in the first user group (such as in Figure 8U In some embodiments, when displaying the instant messaging application, the electronic device receives input including the instant messaging conversation.

[0302] In some embodiments, in response to receiving the input, the user is prompted to initiate the instant messaging conversation based on determining that the input corresponds to a request to enable the instant messaging conversation to be accessible to a corresponding user not included in the first user group (such as in Figure 8U ), while displaying the instant messaging conversation in the instant messaging user interface (e.g., 820), the electronic device (e.g., 500a) displays a selectable option (e.g., 868c) via the display generating component (e.g., 504a), which, when selected, causes the electronic device (e.g., 500a) to update the shared document to be accessible by the corresponding user and the first user group, such as in Figure 8W In some embodiments, according to one or more steps of method 700, a selectable option is displayed in an indication that the corresponding user is added to the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, in response to detecting a selection of the selectable option, the electronic device updates the shared document to be accessible by the corresponding user and the first user group. In some embodiments, the shared document cannot be accessed by the corresponding user unless and until the corresponding user is added to the shared document, such as in response to the electronic device detecting a selection of the selectable option. Displaying the option of updating the shared document to be accessible by the corresponding user and the first user group in response to an input for updating the instant messaging conversation to be accessible by the corresponding user and the first user group will enhance the interaction between the user and the electronic device by reducing the number of inputs required to resolve the difference between the user who can access the shared document and the user who can access the instant messaging conversation.

[0303] In some embodiments, in response to receiving the input, according to determining that the input corresponds to a request to make the instant messaging conversation inaccessible to the corresponding user included in the first user group (while the instant messaging conversation remains accessible to other users included in the first user group and the shared document is not made inaccessible to the corresponding user) (such as in Figure 8R In some embodiments, in response to receiving the input, the instant messaging conversation remains accessible to other users in the first user group, and the shared document remains accessible to the corresponding user. In some embodiments, receiving the input includes detecting a selection of an option to remove the corresponding user from the instant messaging conversation displayed in a user interface of an instant messaging application that includes the instant messaging conversation.

[0304] In some embodiments, in response to receiving the input, according to determining that the input corresponds to a request to make the instant messaging conversation inaccessible to the corresponding user included in the first user group (while the instant messaging conversation remains accessible to other users included in the first user group and the shared document is not made inaccessible to the corresponding user) (such as in Figure 8RIn some embodiments, when an instant messaging conversation is displayed in an instant messaging user interface, an electronic device (e.g., 500a) displays a selectable option (e.g., 868b) via a display generation component, which, when selected, causes the electronic device (e.g., 500a) to update the shared document to be inaccessible to the corresponding user. In some embodiments, according to one or more steps of method 700, the selectable option is displayed in an indication of a change to the first user group that can access the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, the corresponding user can access the shared document unless and until a request to remove the corresponding user from the shared document is received, such as the electronic device detecting the selection of the selectable option. In some embodiments, in response to the electronic device detecting the selection of the selectable option, the shared document is updated so that the corresponding user can no longer access the shared document. Displaying a selectable option to remove the corresponding user from the shared document in response to a request to remove the user from the instant messaging conversation will enhance the interaction between the user and the electronic device by reducing the number of inputs required to resolve the difference between the user who can access the shared document and the user who can access the instant messaging conversation.

[0305] In some embodiments, when the shared document is not accessible to the first user group or the second user group (but is accessible to the user of the electronic device 500a), when the shared document is displayed in a user interface including a sharing option (802c) (e.g., 806), the electronic device (e.g., 500a) receives input (e.g., including contact 803a) selecting the sharing option (802c) via one or more input devices. In some embodiments, the sharing option is displayed simultaneously with additional selectable options for performing actions related to the shared document (such as an undo option, a formatting option, and / or a proofreading option).

[0306] In some embodiments, when the shared document cannot be accessed by the first user group or the second user group (but can be accessed by the user of the electronic device 500a), in response to the input of selecting the sharing option (e.g., 802c), the electronic device (e.g., 500a) displays a sharing user interface including an option to share the shared document in an instant messaging conversation (e.g., 816c) and a first option (e.g., 812b and / or 812c) for changing the settings for the shared document. In some embodiments, the sharing user interface includes a plurality of selectable options, which, when selected, cause the electronic device to initiate a process of sharing the shared document using various corresponding sharing protocols, such as an application of an instant messaging conversation, an email application, and / or generating a link to be copied and pasted into another communication application. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the selection of the first option, the electronic device displays an option for sharing the shared document to allow the user receiving the shared document to edit the shared document or to share the shared document to allow the user to view the shared document without editing the shared document. Displaying a sharing user interface with a first option for changing the settings for the shared document enhances the user's interaction with the electronic device by improving user privacy.

[0307] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8B In some embodiments, when the sharing user interface is displayed, the electronic device (e.g., 500a) receives input of an option (e.g., 816c) to select to share the shared document (e.g., 806) in the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, the option is an option to share the shared document through the application of the instant messaging conversation, and in response to detecting the selection of the option, the electronic device presents a user interface for writing a new message including a text input field, and the electronic device accepts input identifying the recipient of the new message into the text input field. In some embodiments, when the user interface is displayed, the electronic device receives input identifying the instant messaging conversation as a recipient of a message including a shared document. In some embodiments, the option is an option to share the shared document through the instant messaging conversation, and in response to detecting the selection of the shared document, the electronic device displays a user interface identifying the instant messaging conversation as a recipient of a message including a shared document.

[0308] In some embodiments, in response to receiving an input selecting an option to share the shared document in an instant messaging conversation, an electronic device (e.g., 500a) displays an instant messaging user interface including an instant messaging conversation and a message writing field (e.g., 827) including an indication (e.g., 830a) of a message to share the shared document via a display generation component (e.g., 504a), wherein the indication (e.g., 830a) of the message includes a second option (e.g., 812b and / or 812c) to change the settings for the shared document. In some embodiments, the electronic device displays the text and / or image to be included in the message to the instant messaging conversation in the message writing field. In some embodiments, in response to detecting a selection of the message writing field, the electronic device directs the input focus to the message writing field, which enables further text input to enter text into the message writing field. In some embodiments, the indication of the message includes an indication of the name of the document. In some embodiments, once the message is sent, in response to detecting a selection of the representation of the message, the electronic device displays the shared document.

[0309] In some embodiments, when a message composition field (e.g., 827) including an indication of a message to share the shared document (e.g., 830a) is displayed (such as in Figure 8C ), the electronic device (eg, 500a) receives input (eg, including contact 803c) selecting a second option (eg, 812b) via one or more input devices.

[0310] In some embodiments, when a message composition field (e.g., 827) including an indication of a message to share the shared document (e.g., 830a) is displayed (such as in Figure 8C In response to receiving an input selecting the second option (e.g., 812b), the electronic device (e.g., 500a) initiates a process of changing the settings for sharing the document, such as in Fig.8D In some embodiments, in response to detecting one or more inputs to change settings for sharing a document, followed by an input to share the document, the electronic device shares the document through a group instant messaging conversation with the selected settings. For example, as described above, the setting is a setting that allows users with whom the document is shared to edit the document or allows users with whom the document is shared to view the document without editing the document. Displaying the option to change settings for sharing a document in an instant messaging user interface enhances user interaction with the electronic device by reducing the number of inputs required to change settings for sharing a document.

[0311] It should be understood that FIG. 9A to FIG. 9BThe specific order in which the operations in the description are described is merely exemplary and is not intended to indicate that the order is the only order in which the operations may be performed. A person of ordinary skill in the art will recognize many ways to reorder the operations described herein. In addition, it should be noted that the details of other processes described herein in conjunction with other methods described herein (e.g., method 700 and / or 1100) are also applicable in a similar manner to the details of the processes described above in conjunction with the methods described herein. FIG. 9A to FIG. 9B The method 900 described. For example, the operation of presenting an option to update users who can access a shared document and / or an instant messaging conversation according to some embodiments of the present disclosure described above with reference to the method 900 optionally has one or more of the characteristics of presenting an indication of changes to a shared document and / or to a user in an instant messaging conversation when displaying an instant messaging conversation and / or participating in a communication session associated with a shared document as described herein with reference to other methods described herein (e.g., methods 700 and / or 1100). For the sake of brevity, these details are not repeated here.

[0312] The operations in the above information processing method are optionally implemented by running one or more functional modules in an information processing device, such as a general-purpose processor (for example, in combination with Figure 1A to Figure 1B , Figure 3 , FIG. 5A to FIG. 5I In addition, the above reference FIG. 9A to FIG. 9B The operation is optionally performed by Figure 1A to Figure 1B . For example, display operations 910 and / or 916, receiving operations 902 and / or updating operations 908 and / or 914 are optionally implemented by event classifier 170, event identifier 180 and event handler 190. When a corresponding predefined event or sub-event is detected, event identifier 180 activates event handler 190 associated with the detection of the event or sub-event. Event handler 190 optionally utilizes or calls data updater 176 or object updater 177 to update application internal state 192. In some embodiments, event handler 190 accesses corresponding GUI updater 178 to update the content displayed by the application. Similarly, a person of ordinary skill in the art will clearly know how to update the content displayed by the application based on Figure 1A to Figure 1B The components depicted in the figure implement other processes.

[0313] Initiate communication with users who have access to shared documents

[0314] Users interact with electronic devices in a variety of different ways. In some embodiments, the electronic device accesses a shared document that can be accessed by one or more other users and initiates a communication session with one or more other users. The embodiments described below provide a way for an electronic device to initiate and participate in a communication session associated with a shared document. For example, an electronic device displays an option for contacting a user who can access the shared document in a user interface including the shared document. Enhanced interaction with the device reduces the amount of time required for the user to perform an operation, thereby reducing the power consumption of the device and extending the battery life of a battery-powered device. It should be understood that people use the device. When a person uses a device, this person is optionally referred to as a user of the device.

[0315] FIG. 10A to FIG. 10G Illustrated are exemplary ways of participating in a communication session associated with sharing documents according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The embodiments in these figures are used to illustrate the process described below, including reference Fig.11 The process described.

[0316] Fig. 10A An electronic device 500a is illustrated displaying a collaboration menu 1042 overlaid on a shared document 1006 in a document viewing and / or editing user interface. In some embodiments, the document viewing and / or editing user interface is similar to the document viewing and / or editing user interface described above with reference to methods 700 and / or 900, and includes a return option 1002a, a formatting option 1002b, a sharing option 1002c, a collaboration menu option 1002d, a proofreading option 1002e, and a shared document 1006. In some embodiments, in response to detecting a selection of the collaboration menu option 1002d, the electronic device 500a displays the collaboration menu 1042 overlaid on the shared document 1006.

[0317] like Fig. 10A As shown, collaboration menu 1042 includes the title 1034a of the document, settings options 1034b, options 1036a to 1036c for contacting users with whom the document is shared, indications 1038a and 1038b of activities in the document, and indications 1040a to 1040e of users with whom document 1006 is shared. In some embodiments, collaboration menu 1042 has one or more characteristics in common with the collaboration menus described above with reference to method 900. Fig. 10A, the shared document 1006 is shared with the following: users Eve and Bob corresponding to indications 1040a and 1040b, respectively, who are part of the first instant messaging conversation, users Mom and Dad corresponding to indications 1040c and 1040d, respectively, and a user corresponding to indication 1040e, who received the shared document via email rather than through an instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, because the document 1006 is shared with users from multiple instant messaging conversations, the collaboration menu 1042 does not include an indication of the instant messaging conversation associated with the shared document, because multiple instant messaging conversations are associated with the shared document 1006.

[0318] In some embodiments, if the shared document 1006 is shared with a user group associated with an instant messaging conversation (e.g., the users who can access the instant messaging conversation are the same as the user group who can access the shared document), then in response to detecting the selection of the message option 1036a, the electronic device 500a will display the instant messaging conversation associated with the shared document. In some embodiments, if the user who can access the shared document can access different instant messaging conversations, then in response to detecting the selection of the message option 1036a, the electronic device 500a displays an option for selecting an instant messaging conversation to send a message to from the instant messaging conversation associated with the shared document. In some embodiments, if one or more users who can access the shared document receive the shared document via a communication method other than an instant messaging conversation (such as email), the electronic device 500a abandons sending messages to those users in response to detecting the selection of the message option 1036a. Fig. 10A As shown, electronic device 500a receives input (e.g., including contact 1003a) for selecting option 1036a to send a message to a user who can access the shared document. Because the shared document is shared through multiple instant messaging conversations, electronic device 500a responds to Fig. 10A The illustrated input displays an option for selecting an instant messaging conversation to which a message is to be sent, such as Fig. 10B In some embodiments, because the user associated with indication 1040e receives the shared document via email (rather than via an instant messaging conversation), electronic device 500a does not respond to Fig. 10A , and displays options for sending a message to that user, such as Fig. 10B shown.

[0319] Fig. 10B Example of a response to Fig. 10A The electronic device 500a updates the document viewing and / or editing user interface according to the illustrated input. Fig. 10BAs shown, electronic device 500a displays an indication 1004 having options 1008a and 1008b for viewing one of two instant message conversations associated with a shared document and stopping display of indication 1004 and displaying Fig. 10A The illustrated document viewing and / or editing user interface does not display the option 1008c for the instant messaging conversation. For example, the instructions 1004 include the option 1008a to view the "family" instant messaging conversation including "Mom" and "Dad" and the option 1008b to view the "Bob & Eve" instant messaging conversation including "Bob" and "Eve". Fig. 10B As shown, electronic device 500a receives input (eg, including contact 1003b) selecting option 1008b to view the "Bob & Eve" instant messaging conversation. Fig. 10B The electronic device 500a displays Fig. 10C In some embodiments, if electronic device 500a instead receives input selection option 1008a, electronic device 500a will communicate with electronic device 500a in the same manner as in FIG. Fig. 10C The "Family" instant messaging conversation is displayed in a manner similar to the way the "Bob & Eve" instant messaging conversation is displayed in .

[0320] Fig. 10C Example of a response to Fig. 10B The electronic device 500a that displays the instant message conversation associated with the shared document based on the input illustrated. In some embodiments, Fig. 10C As shown, electronic device 500a stops displaying the shared document when displaying the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, electronic device 500a displays the instant messaging conversation overlaid on the shared document.

[0321] like Fig. 10C As shown, in response to Fig. 10BIn the input, the electronic device 500a displays the representation 1031b of the message sharing the shared document and the representation 1029a of the message as a reply to the message sharing the shared document as overlays on the representations 1030a, 1030b, 1026a and 1026b of the messages in the instant message conversation, and the instant message conversation includes the representations 1026a and 1030a of the messages unrelated to the message sharing the shared document, the representation 1030b of the message sharing the shared document and the representation 1026a of the message as a reply to the message sharing the shared document. In some embodiments, the representations 1031b and 1029a are displayed as overlays on other representations 1030b and 1026a of the same message, respectively. In some embodiments, the representations 1031b and 1029a are not overlaid on other representations of the same message. In some embodiments, there is a representation of an additional message between representations 1030b and 1026a that is not displayed as being overlaid on representations 1030b and 1026a (e.g., between representations 1031b and 1029a). In some embodiments, representations 1030a, 1030b, 1026a, and 1026b are displayed by visual de-emphasis (e.g., blurring, dimming, brightening, and / or translucency) relative to representations 1031b and 1029a. In some embodiments, instead of displaying representations 1031b and 1029a overlaid on other representations, electronic device 500a displays representation 1031b overlaid on other representations, without displaying representation 1029a overlaid on other representations. In some embodiments, representation 1031b of the message sharing the shared document has one or more characteristics common to the representation of the message sharing the shared document described above with reference to method 900, including an indication 1013a of the title of the document and an option 1013e ​​to access the document.

[0322] In some embodiments, the user interface further includes a message composition field 1027, and in response to receiving input to compose a message in the message composition field 1027 and a selection of the send option 1028b, the electronic device 500a sends a message to the instant messaging conversation that is a reply to the message sharing the shared document. In some embodiments, in response to receiving input to compose a message in the message composition field 1027, followed by a selection of the send option 1028b, while displaying an instant messaging conversation in which the representation 1031b and / or the representation 1027b are not overlaid on other representations, the electronic device 500a sends a message to the instant messaging conversation that is not a reply to another message.

[0323] In some embodiments, the electronic device initiates and / or participates in a communication session associated with a shared document, such as a telephone call and / or video conference that includes a selectable option to view the shared document in the communication session. Fig. 10D, the electronic device 500a displays a user interface element for sharing the shared document 1006. In some embodiments, the electronic device 500a displays a sharing user interface element in response to detecting a selection of a sharing option 1002c in a document viewing and / or editing user interface. In some embodiments, the sharing user interface element has one or more characteristics common to the sharing user interface element described with reference to method 700 above. For example, the sharing element includes an indication 1012a of the document name, an option 1012b for switching between read-only sharing and reading and editing sharing, an option 1012c for displaying additional settings, options 1016a to 1016d for sharing a document with a specific user group using a specific communication method, options 1018a to 1018e for sharing a document with a user to be selected before sharing using a specific communication method, a copy option 1011a, and a favorite option 1011b.

[0324] like Fig. 10D As shown, electronic device 500a receives input (eg, including contact 1003d) selecting option 1018d to share a document via video conferencing. Fig. 10D The illustrated input and the input sequence of one or more additional inputs of the user who initiates the video conference with it, the electronic device 500a initiates a video conference with the selected user, and the video conference includes the option of viewing a shared document. In some embodiments, the selected user has been able to access the shared document. In some embodiments, the selected user cannot access the shared document yet. In some embodiments, the selected user obtains access to the shared document after the video conference. In some embodiments, the selected user can access the shared document during the video conference but not afterwards. In some embodiments, the selected user includes a mixture of users who have been able to access the shared document and users who cannot access the shared document yet.

[0325] Fig.10E Example of a response to Fig. 10DThe second electronic device 500b receives an indication of a video conference initiated by the electronic device 500a based on the input illustrated. In some embodiments, when the electronic device 500b receives the indication of the incoming video conference, the electronic device 500b is displaying a home screen user interface including application icons 1025d to 1025i. In some embodiments, in response to receiving the indication of the incoming video conference, the second electronic device 500b displays an indication 1024a including the name of the user initiating the video conference, an indication 1024d that the communication session is a video conference, an option 1024b to reject the incoming video conference, and an option 1024c to accept the video conference overlaid on the home screen user interface. In some embodiments, if the second electronic device 500b is displaying a different user interface when the indication of the video conference is received, the second electronic device 500b will display the indications 1024a to 1024d overlaid on the other user interfaces. In some embodiments, if the second electronic device 500b is in sleep mode when the indication of the video conference is received, the electronic device 500b will display a user interface including indications 1024a to 1024d in response to the incoming video conference. Fig.10E As shown, the second electronic device 500b receives an input (eg, including contact 1003e) for selecting option 1024c to accept the video conference. Fig.10E The second electronic device 500b displays the input Fig.10F The video conferencing user interface is shown.

[0326] Fig.10F Example of a response to Fig.10E The second electronic device 500b of the video conference user interface is displayed based on the input illustrated. In some embodiments, the video conference user interface includes a control element, which includes the names 1046f of other users on the video conference, the option 1046a of viewing the instant message conversation associated with the video conference, the option 1046b of adjusting the audio volume of the video conference, the option 1046c of muting or unmuting the microphone of the electronic device 500b, the option 1046d of turning on or off the camera of the second electronic device 500b, and the screen sharing option 1426e and the shared document element 1030 covered on the content 1034 of the video conference. In some embodiments, the content 1034 of the video conference includes the video of other users participating in the video conference. In some embodiments, the shared document element 1030 includes an indication 1032a of the document title and the option 1032b of viewing the document. In some embodiments, the document with read-only permission is shared, so the user of the electronic device 500b can view the document but not edit the document. In some embodiments, if a document is shared with editing permission, the user of electronic device 500b will be able to view and edit the shared document.

[0327] like Fig.10F As shown, the second electronic device 500b receives an input (eg, including contact 1003f) for selecting option 1032b for viewing a document. Fig.10F The second electronic device 500b displays the document while maintaining the connection to the video conference, such as Figure 10G shown.

[0328] Figure 10G Example of a response to Fig.10F 1006. In some embodiments, the electronic device 500b displays the indication 1044 that the electronic device 500b is connected to the video conference while displaying the shared document 1006. In some embodiments, another electronic device 500a also displays the shared document when in the video conference. In some embodiments, if the user of another electronic device 500a edits the shared document, the second electronic device 500b displays the shared document 1006 updated according to the changes made to the document 1006 at another electronic device 500a (e.g., in real time). In some embodiments, if the shared document 1006 with editing permission is shared, the user of the second electronic device 500b will likely revise the shared document 1006 when in the communication session, and another electronic device 500a will update the display of the shared document 1006 to include the modification made at the second electronic device 500b. In some embodiments, the video conference is likely to include more than two users.

[0329] Fig.11 1 is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary method 1100 for participating in a communication session associated with sharing a document according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The method 1100 is optionally performed at an electronic device such as device 100, device 300, device 500, device 501, device 510, and device 591, as described above with reference to Figure 1A to Figure 1B , Figures 2 to 3 , FIG. 4A to FIG. 4B and FIG. 5A to FIG. 5I Some operations in method 1100 are optionally combined, and / or the order of some operations is optionally changed.

[0330] As described below, method 1100 provides interaction with shared documents and / or instant messaging conversations. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user when interacting with the device user interface of the present disclosure, thereby creating a more efficient human-computer interface. For battery-powered electronic devices, improving the efficiency of user interaction with the user interface saves power and increases the time between battery charges.

[0331] In some embodiments, method 1100 is performed at an electronic device (e.g., 500a) that communicates with a display generation component (e.g., 504a) and one or more input devices, such as Fig. 10A For example, the electronic device is the electronic device described above with reference to method 700 and / or 900. In some embodiments, the display generation component is the display generation component described above with reference to method 700 and / or 900.

[0332] In some embodiments, such as Fig. 10A In some embodiments, an electronic device (e.g., 500a) simultaneously displays (1102) a shared document (e.g., 1006) that can be accessed by multiple users and an instant messaging option (e.g., 1036a) associated with the shared document (e.g., 1006) via a display generation component. In some embodiments, the shared document has one or more characteristics of the shared document described above with reference to methods 700 and / or 900. In some embodiments, the accessibility of the shared document to multiple users has one or more characteristics of such accessibility of the shared document described with reference to methods 700 and / or 900. In some embodiments, the electronic device presents the shared document in a document editing user interface of a document (e.g., editing and / or viewing) application that includes an instant messaging option. In some embodiments, the electronic device displays an instant messaging option in a menu that includes one or more additional options related to multiple users that can access the shared document, described in more detail below.

[0333] In some embodiments, such as Fig. 10A , while simultaneously displaying a shared document (e.g., 1006) and an instant messaging option (e.g., 1036a), the electronic device receives (1104) input (e.g., including contact 1003a) selecting the instant messaging option (e.g., 1036a) via one or more input devices.

[0334] In some embodiments, in response to receiving an input selecting an instant messaging option, an electronic device (e.g., 500a) displays (1106) an instant messaging conversation that can be accessed by multiple users in an instant messaging user interface of an instant messaging application via a display generation component. In some embodiments, the instant messaging conversation has one or more characteristics of the instant messaging conversation described with reference to methods 700 and / or 900 above. In some embodiments, the instant messaging conversation includes users who can access shared documents (e.g., and does not include users who cannot access shared documents). In some embodiments, the instant messaging conversation includes existing messages between multiple users. In some embodiments, the instant messaging conversation is a new instant messaging conversation that does not include previous messages. In some embodiments, the electronic device displays a shared document in a document (e.g., viewing and / or editing) application different from the instant messaging application.

[0335] In some embodiments, such as Fig. 10C In some embodiments, the instant messaging conversation includes one or more first messages associated with a selectable option to access a shared document and one or more second messages not associated with the selectable option to access a shared document (1108). In some embodiments, the option to access a shared document is included in a rich object included in the instant messaging conversation. For example, in response to receiving an indication of a shared document shared with a participant in the instant messaging conversation, the electronic device displays a rich message in the instant messaging conversation, the rich message including the title of the shared document and the option to enable the electronic device to access and / or display the shared document when selected. In some embodiments, one or more first messages are replies to a rich message including a selectable option to access a shared document (or a reply to an instant messaging thread including a reply to a rich message). In some embodiments, one or more second messages are other messages in the instant messaging conversation that are not replies to a rich message including a selectable option. For example, a message in an instant messaging conversation about a shared document but not a reply to a message including a selectable option to access a shared document (or a reply to an instant messaging thread including a reply to a rich message) is included in one or more second messages.

[0336] In some embodiments, such as Fig. 10CIn some embodiments, the instant messaging user interface includes a first representation (e.g., 1031b and / or 1027a) of one or more first messages displayed as being overlaid on a representation (e.g., 1026b and / or 1030a) of (optionally one or more first messages and) one or more second messages (e.g., 1110). In some embodiments, the electronic device displays a rich message including a selectable option of accessing a shared document overlaid on the second representation of one or more first messages and the representation of one or more second messages. In some embodiments, the electronic device displays the first representation of one or more first messages overlaid on the second representation of one or more first messages and the representation of one or more second messages with a blurred and / or translucent visual effect. In some embodiments, the instant messaging user interface also includes a message writing field. In some embodiments, in response to an input sequence of writing a message in the message writing field and an input for sending a message, the electronic device transmits the message to the instant messaging conversation as a reply to a rich message including a selectable option of accessing a shared document (or a reply to an instant messaging thread including a reply to a rich message). For example, once the written message is sent, it is included in the one or more first messages. Displaying an instant messaging user interface in response to detecting a selection of an instant messaging option while displaying a shared document enhances user interaction with the electronic device by reducing the amount of input required to send a message associated with a selectable option to access the shared document.

[0337] In some embodiments, when the shared document (1106) is displayed via the display generation component (e.g., 504a) without displaying the instant messaging option (e.g., Fig. 10A 1036a), the electronic device (e.g., 500a) displays the menu option (e.g., 1002d) and the shared document (1006) simultaneously via the display generation component. In some embodiments, the menu option is displayed in the document (e.g., editing and / or viewing) application user interface simultaneously with the shared document. In some embodiments, the document (e.g., editing and / or viewing) application user interface also includes an option to navigate back in the user interface and stop displaying the shared document, an option to view the formatting settings of the document, the sharing options described above with reference to method 900, and / or proofreading options.

[0338] In some embodiments, when the shared document (1106) is displayed via the display generation component (e.g., 504a) without displaying the instant messaging option (e.g., Fig. 10A 1036a), the electronic device (e.g., 500a) receives input for selecting a menu option (e.g., 1002d) via one or more input devices.

[0339] In some embodiments, in response to receiving input selecting a menu option, the electronic device (e.g., 500a) displays a menu (e.g., 1042) that includes an instant messaging option (e.g., 1036a), an option (e.g., 1036b and / or 1036c) that, when selected, causes the electronic device (e.g., 500a) to contact multiple users via an application other than an instant messaging application (e.g., via a telephone application and / or a video conferencing application), multiple indications of users included in the multiple users (e.g., 1040a to 1040e), and an option (e.g., 1034b) that, when selected, causes the electronic device to initiate a process for changing settings associated with sharing the shared document (e.g., 1006), such as Fig. 10A As shown. In some embodiments, the indication of the user included in the plurality of users includes a name and / or image associated with the user. In some embodiments, in response to detecting a selection of the indication of the corresponding user, the electronic device displays a contact card user interface for the user. In some embodiments, the setting associated with sharing the shared document is a permission setting with an option to allow a user to view the document without editing the document or to allow a user to view and edit the document. Displaying the menu enhances the user's interaction with the electronic device by reducing the number of inputs required to view various information and settings associated with the shared document.

[0340] In some embodiments, the menu (e.g., 1042) also includes an indication (e.g., 1038a and / or 1038b) of previous changes made to a shared document (e.g., 1006) by one of the multiple users. In some embodiments, the indication indicates the user who made the change to the shared document. In some embodiments, the indication includes an indication of the content of the change. In some embodiments, the indication does not include an indication of the content of the change. In some embodiments, the indication is an indication of a document being created. In some embodiments, the indication is an indication of adding and / or removing a user relative to access to the shared document. In some embodiments, the menu does not include an indication of when a user was added and / or removed relative to access to the shared document. Displaying an indication of previous changes in the menu enhances the user's interaction with the electronic device by reducing the number of inputs required to view various information and settings associated with the shared document.

[0341] In some embodiments, such as Fig.8OIn some embodiments, when displaying a shared document (e.g., 806), an electronic device (e.g., 500a) displays a visual indication (e.g., 834g and / or 834a) of an instant messaging conversation that can be accessed by multiple users via a display generation component (e.g., 504a). In some embodiments, the visual indication is an image associated with the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, an image associated with the instant messaging conversation is selected in a setting user interface for instant messaging conversations in an instant messaging application. In some embodiments, the image associated with the instant messaging conversation is an automatically generated combination of images associated with users in the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, the visual indication of the instant messaging conversation is the name of the instant messaging conversation set in the setting user interface for instant messaging conversations in an instant messaging application. In some embodiments, the visual indication of the instant messaging conversation is the name of the user in the instant messaging conversation. Displaying a visual indication of an instant messaging conversation can enhance the interaction between the user and the electronic device by providing improved visual feedback to the user.

[0342] In some embodiments, such as Fig. 10C In some embodiments, the representation of the message is a representation of a message that includes a document shared with a user in an instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, the representation of the message is described in more detail above. In some embodiments, the representation of the message includes the title of the shared document, an indication of a document application for viewing and / or editing the document, and / or an indication of sharing permissions (e.g., viewing only or viewing and editing) extended to users who can access the shared document. In some embodiments, the representation of the message is displayed near the indication of the user who shared the shared document. Displaying a selectable option to access a shared document in the representation of the message enhances the interaction between the user and the electronic device by providing an effective way to access documents shared with users in an instant messaging conversation.

[0343] In some embodiments, such as Fig. 10CIn some embodiments, the electronic device displays an indication of a message as a reply to the first message and a visual indication of associating the reply with the first message. In some embodiments, the electronic device displays a copy of the indication of the first message near the indication of one or more replies to the first message. In some embodiments, when an instant messaging conversation including an indication of a message as a reply to the first message and an indication of a message that is not a reply to the first message is displayed, in response to detecting a selection of an indication of a reply to the first message, the electronic device displays the first message and the reply to the first message. In some embodiments, the first message does not include a message in the instant messaging conversation that is not a message sharing the shared document or a reply to a message sharing the shared document. In some embodiments, a message in the instant messaging conversation that is not a message sharing the shared document or a reply to a message sharing the shared document is included in one or more second messages. Displaying one or more messages as replies to a first message overlaid on other messages in an instant messaging conversation in response to receiving input selecting an instant messaging option enhances user interaction with the electronic device by reducing the input required to view messages related to a shared document.

[0344] In some embodiments, the one or more first messages include a first message that shares the shared document (e.g., associated with representation 1031b), and the one or more second messages include one or more messages that are replies to the first message, such as not including Fig. 10C 1027a in the representation. In some embodiments, the reply to the first message has one or more of the above characteristics. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the input, the electronic device displays the first message overlaid on other messages in the instant messaging conversation, without displaying the reply to the first message overlaid on other messages in the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, the first message is displayed as overlaid on a representation of a message that is a reply to the first message and a representation of a message that is not a reply to the first message. Displaying the first message (including the reply to the first message) overlaid on other messages in the instant messaging conversation in response to receiving an input selecting an instant messaging option will enhance the user's interaction with the electronic device by reducing the clutter in the user interface showing the first message.

[0345] In some embodiments, displaying the instant messaging conversation in response to receiving input selecting the instant messaging option includes displaying the instant messaging conversation overlaid on the shared document, such as displaying the instant messaging conversation overlaid on the shared document. Fig. 10A From the document 1006 in Fig. 10CIn some embodiments, the instant messaging conversation is displayed in a document (e.g., sharing and / or editing) application. In some embodiments, the instant messaging conversation is displayed in an instant messaging application user interface overlaid on the document (e.g., sharing and / or editing) application user interface. In some embodiments, the shared document is displayed in the instant messaging application user interface together with the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, when the instant messaging conversation overlaid on the shared document is displayed, at least a portion of the shared document is visible and / or available for interaction. Displaying the instant messaging conversation overlaid on the shared document enhances the user's interaction with the electronic device by reducing the input required to view the shared document while viewing the instant messaging conversation.

[0346] In some embodiments, such as Fig. 10A In the embodiment of the present invention, when displaying a shared document (e.g., 1006), based on determining to share the shared document (e.g., 1006) with multiple users in an instant messaging conversation and a second multiple users in a second instant messaging conversation (e.g., sharing the shared document in multiple instant messaging conversations), while displaying the shared document without displaying the instant messaging option, the electronic device (e.g., 500a) displays the corresponding option (e.g., 1036a) via the display generation component (e.g., 504a). In some embodiments, the corresponding option is an option to view one of the instant messaging conversations with which the shared document is shared. In some embodiments, if the shared document is shared with one instant messaging conversation, the electronic device displays the option to access the instant messaging conversation. In some embodiments, if the shared document is shared with multiple instant messaging conversations, the electronic device displays the option to view the option for accessing the corresponding instant messaging conversations in the multiple instant messaging conversations.

[0347] In some embodiments, such as Fig. 10A In the embodiment of the present invention, when displaying a shared document (e.g., 1006), based on determining that the shared document (e.g., 1006) is shared with multiple users in an instant messaging conversation and a second multiple users in a second instant messaging conversation (e.g., sharing the shared document in multiple instant messaging conversations), the shared document is displayed simultaneously without displaying an instant messaging option, and the electronic device (e.g., 500a) receives input (e.g., including contact 1003a) for selecting a corresponding option (e.g., 1036a) via one or more input devices.

[0348] In some embodiments, when displaying a shared document, in response to receiving input (such as in Fig. 10A), the electronic device (e.g., 500a) simultaneously displays the second instant message option (e.g., 1008a) and the instant message option (e.g., 1008b) associated with the second instant message conversation and the shared document (e.g., 1006) via the display generation component. In some embodiments, the instant message option and the second instant message option are displayed as overlays on the shared document in the user interface.

[0349] In some embodiments, such as Fig. 10B In the embodiment of the present invention, when a shared document (e.g., 1006) is displayed, when a second instant messaging option (e.g., 1008b), an instant messaging option (e.g., 1008a) and a shared document (e.g., 1006) are displayed simultaneously, an electronic device (e.g., 500a) receives input (e.g., including contact 1003b) for selecting the second instant messaging option (e.g., 1008b) via one or more input devices.

[0350] In some embodiments, in response to receiving input (e.g., including contact 1003b) selecting a second instant messaging option (e.g., 1008b) Fig. 10B In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 500a) displays a second instant messaging conversation accessible by a second plurality of users in an instant messaging user interface (e.g., 1020) of the instant messaging application via a display generating component (e.g., 504a) (e.g., without displaying the instant messaging conversation). In some embodiments, displaying the second instant messaging conversation includes displaying a representation of one or more messages associated with a selectable option in a manner similar to that described above, the selectable option being to view a shared document in the second instant messaging conversation overlaid on a representation of one or more messages not associated with the selectable option. In some embodiments, the first instant messaging conversation and the second instant messaging conversation are associated with the same instant messaging application. Displaying the communication option and the second communication option in response to detecting a selection of the corresponding option enhances the user's interaction with the electronic device by reducing the number of selectable options displayed before the selection of the corresponding option, thereby cleaning up the user interface.

[0351] In some embodiments, the shared document is shared with multiple users and the corresponding user in the instant messaging conversation (e.g., 1006), and the shared document is shared with the corresponding user via an application other than the instant messaging application, such as in Fig. 10A In some embodiments, the application is an email application, a second instant messaging application, or a social media application.

[0352] In some embodiments, in response to receiving input (e.g., including contact 1003b) selecting an instant messaging option (e.g., 1008b), such as in Fig. 10BIn some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 500a) abandons displaying the user interface of an application other than the instant messaging application. In some embodiments, the electronic device displays the instant messaging conversation in response to receiving an input selecting the instant messaging option, without displaying the second instant messaging option associated with sending a message to the corresponding user (e.g., via the instant messaging application or via an application other than the instant messaging application). In some embodiments, before receiving the input selecting the instant messaging option, the electronic device displays the option for contacting the corresponding user via an application other than the instant messaging application. In some embodiments, the electronic device does not display the option for contacting the corresponding user via an application other than the instant messaging application. Abandoning the display of the user interface of an application other than the instant messaging application in response to the input selecting the instant messaging option will enhance the user's interaction with the electronic device by reducing the number of inputs spent viewing the instant messaging conversation in the instant messaging application.

[0353] In some embodiments, such as Fig. 10A In the embodiment, the electronic device (e.g., 500a) displays the communication option (e.g., 1036b and / or 1036c) and the shared document (e.g., 1006) and the instant messaging option (e.g., 1036a) simultaneously via the display generation component (e.g., 504a). In some embodiments, the communication option is associated with a communication application (such as a phone application and / or a video conferencing application).

[0354] In some embodiments, when the communication options (e.g., 1036b and / or 1036c), the shared document (e.g., 1006), and the instant messaging option (e.g., 1036a) are displayed simultaneously (such as in Fig. 10A ), an electronic device (eg, 500a) receives input for selecting a communication option via one or more input devices.

[0355] In some embodiments, in response to receiving a selection of a communication option (e.g., Fig. 10A 1036b and / or 1036c), the electronic device (e.g., 500a) initiates a communication session with multiple users, the communication session including a selectable option (e.g., 1032b) to view a shared document, such as in Fig.10FIn some embodiments, in response to receiving input, the electronic device makes a phone call to multiple users and causes the electronic devices of the multiple users to display a selectable option that, when selected, causes the electronic device to display a shared document during the phone call. In some embodiments, in response to receiving input, the electronic device initiates a video conference with multiple users and causes the electronic devices of the multiple users to display a selectable option that, when selected, causes the electronic device to display a shared document during the video conference. Displaying communication options in the user interface along with the shared document enhances user interaction with the electronic device by reducing the amount of input spent on contacting multiple users who can access the shared document.

[0356] In some embodiments, when the share document or instant messaging option is not displayed (such as in Fig.10E In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 500b) receives an indication of an incoming communication session associated with a shared document. In some embodiments, the communication session is a phone call or a video conference. In some embodiments, the incoming communication session is sent from one of the users who can access the shared document to multiple users who can access the shared document (e.g., including users of the electronic device). In some embodiments, the indication of the incoming communication session is received when the electronic device is displaying a user interface of an application other than a document application associated with the shared document or a communication application associated with the communication session. In some embodiments, the indication of the incoming communication session is received when the electronic device does not display a user interface (e.g., when the electronic device and / or the display generation component is in a sleep mode).

[0357] In some embodiments, when the share document or instant messaging option is not displayed, in response to receiving an indication of an incoming communication session and in response to receiving input (e.g., including contact 1003e) for initiating a communication session (such as in Fig.10E ), the electronic device (e.g., 500b) initiates a communication session and displays a selectable option (e.g., 1032b) via a display generation component, which, when selected, causes the electronic device (e.g., 500b) to display a shared document, such as in Fig.10F In some embodiments, in response to receiving an indication of an incoming communication session, the electronic device displays a selectable option to enter the communication session. In some embodiments, in response to receiving an input corresponding to a selection of an option to enter the communication session, the electronic device initiates the communication session and displays a selectable option to display a shared document.

[0358] In some embodiments, when the shared document or instant messaging option is not displayed, the electronic device (e.g., 500b) receives input (e.g., including contact 1003f) via one or more input devices corresponding to a selection of a selectable option (e.g., 500b), which, when selected, causes the electronic device (e.g., 1032b) to display a shared document, such as in Fig.10F middle.

[0359] In some embodiments, in response to receiving input (e.g., including contact 1003f) corresponding to a selection of a selectable option (e.g., 1032b) that, when selected, causes the electronic device (e.g., 500a) to display a shared document, such as in Fig.10F In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 500b) displays the shared document (e.g., 1006) via the display generation component (e.g., 504b) (e.g., while remaining in the communication session). In some embodiments, if the electronic device is displaying a user interface when an indication of an incoming call is received, the electronic device stops displaying the user interface when the electronic device displays the shared document. In some embodiments, if the electronic device is displaying a user interface when an indication of an incoming call is received, the electronic device maintains display of the user interface when the electronic device displays the shared document. In some embodiments, a user receiving an incoming communication including a shared document cannot access the shared document before receiving the communication and obtains access to the shared document after receiving the communication. In some embodiments, a user receiving an incoming communication is able to access the shared document before receiving the communication. Displaying a selectable option to view a shared document during a communication session enhances user interaction with a computer system by reducing the number of inputs required to access a shared document during a communication session.

[0360] In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 500a) displays an option (e.g., 1018d) to initiate a communication session associated with a shared document (e.g., 1006) via a display generation component (e.g., 504a). In some embodiments, the option is currently displayed simultaneously with the shared document. In some embodiments, the communication session is a phone call or a video conference. In some embodiments, a communication session is initiated with a user who previously could not access the shared document. In some embodiments, a communication session is initiated with a user who previously could access the shared document.

[0361] In some embodiments, when an option to initiate a communication session associated with a shared document (e.g., 1018d) is displayed, an electronic device (e.g., 500a) receives input (e.g., including contact 1003d) via one or more input devices selecting the option to initiate a communication session associated with a shared document (e.g., 1018d).

[0362] In some embodiments, in response to receiving input (e.g., including contact 1003d) selecting an option (e.g., 1018d) to initiate a communication session associated with a shared document, Fig. 10D ), an electronic device (e.g., 500a) initiates a communication session via a first application (e.g., a communication application associated with the communication session), wherein the communication session includes a selectable option (e.g., 1032b) that, when selected, causes the electronic device (e.g., 500b) to display a shared document in a user interface of a second application (e.g., a document viewing and / or editing application) that is different from the first application, such as in Fig.10F In some embodiments, the option to initiate a communication session is displayed in the user interface of the second application. In some embodiments, the option to initiate a communication session is displayed in the user interface of the first application. In some embodiments, in response to detecting a selection of a selectable option for displaying a shared document, the electronic device displays the shared document while remaining in the communication session. In some embodiments, the electronic device displays a user interface from which the user selects one or more users with whom the communication session is initiated. In some embodiments, the one or more users include users who have been able to access the shared document, users who have not yet been able to access the shared document, and / or a mixture of users who have been able to access the shared document and users who have not yet been able to access the shared document. In some embodiments, users who were previously unable to access the shared document obtain access to the shared document through the communication session. Initiating a communication session that includes the option to cause the electronic device to display a shared document will enhance the interaction between the user and the electronic device by reducing the input required to view the shared document during the communication session.

[0363] It should be understood that Fig.11 The specific order in which the operations in the description are described is merely exemplary and is not intended to indicate that the described order is the only order in which the operations may be performed. A person of ordinary skill in the art will recognize many ways to reorder the operations described herein. In addition, it should be noted that the details of other processes described herein in conjunction with other methods described herein (e.g., method 700 and / or 900) are also applicable in a similar manner to the details of the processes described above in conjunction with the methods described herein. Fig.11The method 1100 described. For example, the operation of the electronic device participating in the communication session associated with the shared document according to some embodiments of the present disclosure described above with reference to the method 1100 optionally has one or more of the characteristics of presenting an indication of changes to the shared document and / or to the users in the instant messaging conversation while displaying the instant messaging conversation and / or presenting an option to update the users who can access the shared document and / or the instant messaging conversation as described herein with reference to other methods described herein (e.g., methods 700 and / or 900). For the sake of brevity, these details are not repeated here.

[0364] The operations in the above information processing method are optionally implemented by running one or more functional modules in an information processing device, such as a general-purpose processor (for example, in combination with Figure 1A to Figure 1B , Figure 3 , FIG. 5A to FIG. 5I In addition, the above reference Fig.11 The operation is optionally performed by Figure 1A to Figure 1B . For example, display operation 1102 and / or 1106 and / or receiving operation 1104 are optionally implemented by event classifier 170, event identifier 180 and event handler 190. When a corresponding predefined event or sub-event is detected, event identifier 180 activates event handler 190 associated with the detection of the event or sub-event. Event handler 190 optionally utilizes or calls data updater 176 or object updater 177 to update application internal state 192. In some embodiments, event handler 190 accesses corresponding GUI updater 178 to update the content displayed by the application. Similarly, a person skilled in the art will clearly know how to update the content displayed by the application based on the GUI. Figure 1A to Figure 1B The components depicted in the figure implement other processes.

[0365] As described above, one aspect of the present technology potentially involves collecting and using data available from specific and legitimate sources to facilitate sharing documents and participating in instant messaging conversations. The present disclosure contemplates that, in some instances, the collected data may include personal information data that uniquely identifies or can be used to identify a specific person. Such personal information data may include demographic data, location-based data, online identifiers, phone numbers, email addresses, home addresses, data or records related to a user's health or fitness level (e.g., vital signs measurements, medication information, exercise information), date of birth or any other personal information, usage history, handwriting style, etc.

[0366] The present disclosure recognizes that the use of such personal information data in the present invention technology can be used to benefit users. For example, the personal information data can be used to allow and / or deny access to instant messaging conversations and / or shared documents. Therefore, the use of such personal information data enables users to enter fewer inputs to perform actions relative to instant messaging conversations and / or shared documents. In addition, the present disclosure also anticipates other uses of personal information data that benefit users. For example, the stored contact information can be used to share instant messaging conversations and / or shared documents.

[0367] The present disclosure envisions that entities responsible for collecting, analyzing, disclosing, transmitting, storing or otherwise using such personal information data will comply with established privacy policies and / or privacy practices. Specifically, such entities will be expected to implement and consistently apply privacy practices that are generally recognized as meeting or exceeding the requirements of the industry or government that maintain user privacy. Such information about the use of personal data should be highlighted and easily accessible to users, and should be updated as the collection and / or use of data changes. The user's personal information should be collected only for legal use. In addition, such collection / sharing should only occur after receiving user consent or other legal basis specified in applicable law. In addition, such entities should consider taking any necessary steps to protect and safeguard access to such personal information data and ensure that other entities that can access personal information data comply with the privacy policies and procedures of other entities. In addition, such entities may subject themselves to third-party assessments to prove that they comply with widely accepted privacy policies and privacy practices. In addition, policies and practices should be adjusted for specific types of personal information data collected and / or accessed, and applied to applicable laws and standards, including considerations that are exclusive to jurisdictions that can be used to impose higher standards. For example, in the United States, collection or access to certain health data may be governed by federal and / or state laws, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA); while health data in other countries may be subject to other regulations and policies and should be handled accordingly.

[0368] Notwithstanding the foregoing, the present disclosure also contemplates implementations in which a user selectively blocks the use or access of personal information data. That is, the present disclosure contemplates providing hardware elements and / or software elements to prevent or block access to such personal information data. For example, a user can configure one or more electronic devices to change the discovery settings or privacy settings of the electronic devices. For example, a user may select a setting that only allows an electronic device to access specific identification information of the user.

[0369] In addition, it is the intention of the present disclosure that personal information data should be managed and processed in a manner that minimizes the risk of unintentional or unauthorized access or use. Once the data is no longer needed, the risk can be minimized by limiting the collection of data and deleting the data. In addition, and when applicable, including in certain health-related applications, data de-identification can be used to protect the privacy of users. De-identification can be promoted when appropriate by removing identifiers, controlling the amount or specificity of stored data (e.g., collecting location data at the city level rather than at the address level), controlling how data is stored (e.g., aggregating data among users), and / or other methods such as differential privacy.

[0370] Therefore, while the present disclosure broadly covers the use of personal information data to implement one or more of the various disclosed embodiments, the present disclosure also contemplates that various embodiments may be implemented without requiring access to such personal information data. That is, various embodiments of the present technology will not fail to function properly due to the lack of all or a portion of such personal information data. For example, shared documents and / or messages may be accessed on authorized devices, but not on unauthorized devices.

[0371] For the purpose of explanation, the foregoing description is described by reference to specific embodiments. However, the above exemplary discussion is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the disclosed precise form. According to the above teachings, many modifications and variations are possible. The embodiments are selected and described in order to best illustrate the principles of the present invention and its practical application, so that other technical personnel in the field can best use the present invention and the various described embodiments with various modifications suitable for the specific purpose contemplated.
