[0074] The following description illustrates exemplary methods, parameters, etc. However, it should be understood that such description is not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure, but is provided as a description of exemplary embodiments.

[0075] There is a need for electronic devices that provide efficient methods and interfaces for displaying clock faces. For example, there is a need for devices capable of implementing intuitive and efficient methods for displaying clock faces including those simulating emitted light. Similarly, there is a need for devices capable of implementing intuitive and efficient methods for displaying clock faces including astronomical objects. Furthermore, there is a need for devices capable of implementing intuitive and efficient methods for displaying clock faces with adjustable time indications. Additionally, there is a need for devices capable of implementing intuitive and efficient methods for displaying clock faces with multiple calendar systems. Finally, there is a need for devices capable of implementing intuitive and efficient methods for displaying clock faces with animated numerals. Such technologies can reduce the cognitive burden on users accessing clock faces, thereby increasing productivity. Furthermore, such technologies can reduce processor power and battery power that would otherwise be wasted on redundant user input.

Figure 19 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for displaying a clock user interface including animated lines, according to some implementation schemes. Figures 18A to 18Q The user interface in the document is used to illustrate the process described below, including Figure 19 The process in.

[0083] The processes described below enhance device operability and make the user-device interface more efficient through various technologies (e.g., by helping users provide appropriate input and reducing user errors when operating / interacting with the device), including providing improved visual feedback to users, reducing the amount of input required to perform operations, providing additional control options without cluttering the user interface with additional display controls, performing operations without further user input and / or additional techniques when a set of conditions have been met. These technologies also reduce power consumption and extend device battery life by enabling users to use the device faster and more efficiently.

[0084] Furthermore, in methods described herein where one or more steps depend on the satisfaction of one or more conditions, it should be understood that the method may be repeated in multiple repetitions such that, during the repetitions, all conditions determining the steps in the method are satisfied in different repetitions of the method. For example, if the method requires performing a first step (if the condition is satisfied) and a second step (if the condition is not satisfied), those skilled in the art will know that the stated steps are repeated until both the conditions are satisfied and not satisfied (in no particular order). Thus, a method described as having one or more steps depending on the satisfaction of one or more conditions can be rewritten as a method that repeats until each condition described in the method is satisfied. However, this does not require the system or computer-readable medium to declare that the system or computer-readable medium contains instructions for performing discretionary operations based on the satisfaction of the corresponding one or more conditions, and thus to determine whether possible conditions have been satisfied without explicitly repeating the steps of the method until all conditions determining the steps in the method are satisfied. Those skilled in the art will also understand that, similar to methods having discretionary steps, a system or computer-readable storage medium may repeat the steps of the method multiple times as needed to ensure that all discretionary steps have been performed.

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

[0086] The terminology used in the description of the various described embodiments herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used in the description of the various described embodiments and in the appended claims, the singular forms “a” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will also be understood that the term “and / or” as used herein refers to and covers any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. It will also be understood that the terms “comprising” and / or “including” as used in this specification specify the presence of the 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 groups thereof.

[0087] Depending on the context, the term "if" may optionally be interpreted as meaning "when," "at," or "in response to determination" or "in response to detection." Similarly, depending on the context, the phrases "if determination..." or "if detection [the stated condition or event]" may optionally be interpreted as meaning "in response to determination..." or "in response to detection [the stated condition or event]."

[0088] This document describes implementations of electronic devices, user interfaces for such devices, and associated processes for using such devices. In some implementations, the device is a portable communication device, such as a mobile phone, that also includes other functionalities such as PDA and / or music player functionality. Exemplary implementations of portable multi-functional devices include, but are not limited to, the iPhone from Apple Inc. (Cupertino, California). ® Devices, iPod Touch ® Devices and iPads ®Device. Optionally, other portable electronic devices may be used, such as laptops or tablets with touch-sensitive surfaces (e.g., touchscreen displays and / or touchpads). It should also be understood that in some embodiments, the device is not a portable communication device, but a desktop computer with touch-sensitive surfaces (e.g., touchscreen displays and / or touchpads). In some embodiments, the electronic device is a computer system that communicates with a display generating component (e.g., via wireless or wired communication). The display generating component is configured to provide visual output, such as a display via a CRT monitor, a display via an LED monitor, or a display via image projection. In some embodiments, the display generating component is integrated with the computer system. In some embodiments, the display generating component is separate from the computer system. As used herein, “display” content includes displaying content (e.g., video data rendered or decoded by display controller 156) by transmitting data (e.g., image data or video data) to an integrated or external display generating component via a wired or wireless connection to visually generate content.

[0089] 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 may optionally include one or more other physical user interface devices, such as a physical keyboard, mouse, and / or joystick.

[0090] The device typically supports a variety of applications, such as one or more of the following: drawing applications, presentation applications, word processing applications, website creation applications, disk editing applications, spreadsheet applications, gaming applications, telephone applications, video conferencing applications, email applications, instant messaging applications, fitness support applications, photo management applications, digital camera applications, digital video camcorder applications, web browsing applications, digital music player applications, and / or digital video player applications.

[0091] Various applications running 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 the 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 device's common physical architecture (such as the touch-sensitive surface) optionally utilizes a user interface that is intuitive and clear to the user to support various applications.

[0092] Now let’s turn our attention to implementation schemes for portable devices with touch-sensitive displays. Figure 1AThis is a block diagram illustrating a portable multi-functional device 100 with a touch-sensitive display system 112 according to some embodiments. The touch-sensitive display 112 is sometimes referred to as a “touchscreen” for convenience, and is sometimes referred to as or called a “touch-sensitive display system.” 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 interface 118, RF circuitry 108, audio circuitry 110, a speaker 111, a microphone 113, an input / output (I / O) subsystem 106, other input control devices 116, and an external port 124. Device 100 optionally includes one or more optical sensors 164. Device 100 optionally includes one or more contact strength sensors 165 for detecting the intensity of contact on device 100 (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface, such as the touch-sensitive display system 112 of device 100). Device 100 optionally includes one or more haptic output generators 167 for generating haptic output on device 100 (e.g., generating haptic output on a touch-sensitive surface such as the touch-sensitive display system 112 of device 100 or the touchpad 355 of device 300). These components optionally communicate via one or more communication buses or signal lines 103.

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

[0094] As used in this specification and claims, the term "haptic output" refers to a physical displacement of the 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 is detected by the user using the user's tactile sense. For example, when the device or a component of the device comes into contact with a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a finger, palm, or other part of the user's hand), the haptic output generated by the physical displacement will be interpreted by the user as a tactile sensation corresponding to a perceived change in the physical characteristics of the device or a component of the device. For example, movement of a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch-sensitive display or touchpad) may optionally be interpreted by the user as a "press-click" or "release-click" on a physically actuated button. In some cases, the user will feel a tactile sensation, such as a "press-click" or "release-click," even when a physically actuated button associated with the touch-sensitive surface, which has been physically pressed (e.g., displaced) by the user's movement, has not moved. For example, even when the smoothness of the tactile surface remains unchanged, the movement of the tactile surface can optionally be interpreted or sensed by the user as the "roughness" of the tactile surface. While such interpretations of touch by users will be limited by the individualized sensory perceptions of the user, many sensory perceptions of touch are common to most users. Therefore, when a tactile output is described as corresponding to a specific 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 its components that will generate the sensory perception of a typical (or common) user.

[0095] It should be understood that device 100 is merely an example of a portable multifunctional device, and device 100 may optionally have more or fewer components than those shown, may optionally combine two or more components, or may optionally have different configurations or arrangements of these components. Figure 1A The various components shown are implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of both, including one or more signal processing and / or application-specific integrated circuits.

[0096] Memory 102 optionally includes high-speed random access memory and also optionally includes non-volatile memory, such as one or more 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.

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

[0099] Audio circuitry 110, speaker 111, and microphone 113 provide an audio interface between the user and device 100. Audio circuitry 110 receives audio data from peripheral interface 118, converts the audio data into electrical signals, and transmits the electrical signals to speaker 111.

In some implementations, air gestures are gestures detected without the user touching an input element that is part of the device (or independently of an input element that is part of the device) and based on the detected movement of a part of the user's body through the air (including movement of the user's body relative to an absolute reference (e.g., the angle of the user's arm relative to the ground or the distance of the user's hand relative to the ground), movement relative to another part of the user's body (e.g., movement of the user's hand relative to the user's shoulder, movement of one of the user's hands relative to the user's other hand, and / or movement of the user's fingers relative to another of the user's fingers or a part of the user's hand), and / or absolute movement of a part of the user's body (e.g., a tapping gesture that includes the hand moving a predetermined amount and / or speed in a predetermined pose, or a shaking gesture that includes a predetermined speed or amount of rotation of a part of the user's body)).

[0101] A quick press of the push button optionally disengages the touchscreen 112 from its lock or optionally initiates a process of unlocking the device using gestures on the touchscreen, as described in U.S. Patent Application 11 / 322,549 (i.e., U.S. Patent No. 7,657,849), filed December 23, 2005, entitled "Unlocking a Device by Performing Gestures on an Unlock Image," the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. A long press of the push button (e.g., 206) optionally powers the device 100 on or off. The function of one or more buttons is optionally user-customizable. The touchscreen 112 is used to implement virtual buttons or soft buttons and one or more soft keyboards.

[0102] The touch-sensitive display 112 provides input and output interfaces between the device and the user. The display controller 156 receives electrical signals from and / or sends electrical signals to the touchscreen 112. The touchscreen 112 displays visual output to the user. The visual output optionally includes graphics, text, icons, video, and any combination thereof (collectively, "graphics"). In some embodiments, some or all of the visual output optionally corresponds to user interface objects.

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

[0104] Touchscreen 112 optionally employs LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) technology, LPD (Light Emitting Polymer Display) technology, or LED (Light Emitting Diode) technology, but other display technologies are used in other embodiments. Touchscreen 112 and display controller 156 optionally employ any of a variety of touch sensing technologies now known or to be developed hereafter, along with other proximity sensor arrays or other elements for determining one or more points of contact with touchscreen 112, to detect contact and any movement or interruption thereof. These various touch sensing technologies include, but are not limited to, capacitive, resistive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave technologies. In an exemplary embodiment, projected mutual capacitance sensing technology is used, such as in the iPhone from Apple Inc. (Cupertino, California). ® and iPod Touch ® The technology used.

[0105] In some embodiments of the touchscreen 112, the touch-sensitive display optionally resembles a multi-touch-sensitive touchpad described in the following U.S. patents: 6,323,846 (Westerman et al.), 6,570,557 (Westerman et al.), and / or 6,677,932 (Westerman et al.) and / or U.S. Patent Publication 2002 / 0015024A1, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. However, the touchscreen 112 displays visual output from the device 100, while the touch-sensitive touchpad does not provide visual output.

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

[0107] Touchscreen 112 optionally has a video resolution exceeding 100 dpi. In some embodiments, the touchscreen has a video resolution of approximately 160 dpi. Users optionally use any suitable object or accessory such as a stylus, finger, etc., to interact with touchscreen 112. In some embodiments, the user interface is designed to operate primarily through finger-based touch and gestures, which may be less precise than stylus-based input due to the larger contact area of ​​a finger on the touchscreen. In some embodiments, the device translates coarse finger-based input into precise pointer / cursor positioning or commands to perform the user-desired actions.

[0108] In some embodiments, in addition to the touchscreen, device 100 optionally includes a touchpad for activating or deactivating specific functions. In some embodiments, the touchpad is a touch-sensitive area of ​​the device that, unlike the touchscreen, does not display visual output. Optionally, the touchpad is a touch-sensitive surface separate from the touchscreen 112, or an extension of the touch-sensitive surface formed by the touchscreen.

[0109] The device 100 also includes a power system 162 for supplying power to various components. The power system 162 optionally includes a power management system, one or more power sources (e.g., a battery, alternating current (AC)), a recharging system, a power fault detection circuit, a power converter or inverter, a power status indicator (e.g., a light-emitting diode (LED)), and any other components associated with the generation, management, and distribution of power in the portable device.

[0110] The device 100 may optionally also include one or more optical sensors 164. Figure 1AAn optical sensor 164 is shown coupled to an optical sensor controller 158 in the I / O subsystem 106. 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 an imaging module 143 (also called a camera module), the optical sensor 164 optionally captures still images or video. In some embodiments, the optical sensor is located on the rear of the device 100, facing away from a touchscreen display 112 on the front of the device, allowing the touchscreen display to be used as a viewfinder for still image and / or video image acquisition. In some embodiments, the optical sensor is located on the front of the device, allowing images of the user to be optionally acquired for video conferencing while the user views other video conferencing participants on the touchscreen display. In some embodiments, the positioning of the optical sensor 164 can be changed by the user (e.g., by rotating the lenses and sensors in the device housing), allowing a single optical sensor 164 to be used in conjunction with the touchscreen display for both video conferencing and still image and / or video image acquisition.

[0111] The device 100 optionally also includes one or more depth camera sensors 175. Figure 1A A depth camera sensor is shown coupled to a depth camera controller 169 in I / O subsystem 106. Depth camera sensor 175 receives data from the environment to create a 3D model of an object (e.g., a face) within the scene from a viewpoint (e.g., the depth camera sensor). In some embodiments, in conjunction with imaging module 143 (also referred to as a camera module), depth camera sensor 175 is optionally used to determine depth maps of different portions of an image captured by imaging module 143. In some embodiments, the depth camera sensor is located at the front of device 100, such that user images with depth information are optionally acquired for video conferencing while a user views other video conferencing participants on a touchscreen display, and selfies with depth map data are captured. In some embodiments, depth camera sensor 175 is located at the rear of the device, or both the rear and front of device 100. In some embodiments, the positioning of depth camera sensor 175 can be changed by the user (e.g., by rotating a lens and sensor within the device housing), such that depth camera sensor 175 is used in conjunction with a touchscreen display for both video conferencing and still image and / or video image acquisition.

[0112] In some implementations, a depth map (e.g., a depth map image) contains information (e.g., values) relating to the distance of objects in the scene from the viewpoint (e.g., a camera, optical sensor, depth camera sensor). In one implementation of the depth map, each depth pixel defines the location of its corresponding two-dimensional pixel on the Z-axis of the viewpoint. In some implementations, the depth map is composed of pixels, where each pixel is defined by a value (e.g., 0 to 255). For example, a "0" value represents the pixel furthest from the viewpoint (e.g., a camera, optical sensor, depth camera sensor) in the "3D" scene, and a "255" value represents the pixel closest to the viewpoint in the "3D" scene. In other implementations, the depth map represents the distance between objects in the scene and the plane of the viewpoint. In some implementations, the depth map includes information about the relative depth of various features of the object of interest within the field of view of the depth camera (e.g., the relative depth of the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears of a user's face). In some implementations, the depth map includes information that enables the device to determine the contour of the object of interest in the z-direction.

[0113] The device 100 may optionally also include one or more contact strength sensors 165. Figure 1A A contact strength sensor is shown coupled to a strength sensor controller 159 in I / O subsystem 106. The contact strength sensor 165 optionally includes one or more piezoresistive strain gauges, capacitive force sensors, electro-force sensors, piezoelectric sensors, optical force sensors, capacitive touch-sensitive surfaces, or other strength sensors (e.g., sensors for measuring the force (or pressure) of contact on a touch-sensitive surface). The contact strength sensor 165 receives contact strength information (e.g., pressure information or a substitute for pressure information) from the environment. In some embodiments, at least one contact strength sensor is arranged juxtaposed with or adjacent to a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touch-sensitive display system 112). In some embodiments, at least one contact strength sensor is located on the rear of device 100, opposite to the touchscreen display 112 located on the front of device 100.

[0114] The device 100 optionally also includes one or more proximity sensors 166. Figure 1AA proximity sensor 166 coupled to a peripheral device interface 118 is shown. Alternatively, the proximity sensor 166 may optionally be coupled to an input controller 160 in an I / O subsystem 106. The proximity sensor 166 may optionally perform as described in the following U.S. patent applications: 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", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. In some implementations, when the multifunction device is placed near the user's ear (e.g., when the user is making a phone call), the proximity sensor is turned off and the touchscreen 112 is disabled.

[0115] The device 100 may optionally also include one or more tactile output generators 167. Figure 1A A haptic output generator coupled to a haptic feedback controller 161 in I / O subsystem 106 is shown. The haptic output generator 167 optionally includes: one or more electroacoustic devices, such as speakers or other audio components; and / or electromechanical devices for converting energy into linear motion, such as motors, solenoids, electroactive polymers, piezoelectric actuators, electrostatic actuators, or other haptic output generating components (e.g., components for converting electrical signals into haptic outputs on the device). A contact intensity sensor 165 receives haptic feedback generation instructions from a haptic feedback module 133 and generates a haptic output on device 100 that can be felt by a user of device 100. In some embodiments, at least one haptic output generator is juxtaposed or adjacent to a haptic surface (e.g., haptic display system 112) and optionally generates the haptic output by moving the haptic surface vertically (e.g., in / outward from the surface of device 100) or laterally (e.g., backward and forward in the same plane as the surface of device 100). In some embodiments, at least one haptic output generator sensor is located on the rear of the device 100, opposite to the touch screen display 112 located on the front of the device 100.

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

[0117] In some embodiments, the software components stored in memory 102 include an operating system 126, a communication module (or instruction set) 128, a contact / motion module (or instruction set) 130, a graphics module (or instruction set) 132, a text input module (or instruction set) 134, a Global Positioning System (GPS) module (or instruction set) 135, and an application (or instruction set) 136. Furthermore, in some embodiments, memory 102 ( Figure 1A ) or 370 ( Figure 3 Storage device / global internal state 157, such as Figure 1A and Figure 3 As shown in the figure. Device / global internal state 157 includes one or more of the following: active application state, which indicates which applications (if any) are currently active; display state, indicating what applications, views or other information occupy various areas of the touch screen display 112; sensor state, including information obtained from various sensors and input control devices 116 of the device; and position information relating to the device's position and / or orientation.

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

[0119] The communication module 128 facilitates communication with other devices via one or more external ports 124 and includes various software components for processing data received by the RF circuitry 108 and / or the external ports 124. The external ports 124 (e.g., Universal Serial Bus (USB), FireWire, etc.) are adapted to be directly coupled to other devices or indirectly coupled via a network (e.g., the Internet, wireless LAN, etc.). In some embodiments, the external port is for use with an iPod. ® (Trademark of Apple Inc.) The same or similar and / or compatible multi-pin (e.g., 30-pin) connectors used in Apple Inc. devices.

[0120] The contact / motion module 130 optionally detects contact with the touchscreen 112 (in conjunction with the display controller 156) and other touch-sensitive devices (e.g., touchpads or physical click-based rotary dials). The contact / motion module 130 includes various software components for performing various operations related to contact detection, such as determining whether a contact has occurred (e.g., detecting a finger press event), determining the contact intensity (e.g., the force or pressure of the contact, or an alternative to force or pressure), determining whether there is movement of the contact and tracking 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 a contact break). 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 which is represented by a series of contact data. These operations are optionally applied to single-point contact (e.g., single-finger contact) or multi-point simultaneous contact (e.g., "multi-touch" / multiple-finger contact). In some implementations, the contact / motion module 130 and the display controller 156 detect contact on the touchpad.

[0121] In some implementations, the contact / motion module 130 uses a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an operation has been performed by a user (e.g., determining whether the user has “clicked” an icon). In some implementations, at least a subset of the intensity thresholds is determined based on software parameters (e.g., the intensity thresholds are not determined by the activation threshold of a specific physical actuator and can be adjusted without changing the physical hardware of device 100). For example, the mouse “click” threshold of a touchpad or touchscreen can be set to any threshold in a wide range of predefined thresholds without changing the touchpad or touchscreen display hardware. Additionally, in some specific implementations, the user of the device is provided with software settings for adjusting one or more intensity thresholds in a set of intensity thresholds (e.g., by adjusting the individual intensity thresholds and / or by adjusting multiple intensity thresholds at once using system-level clicks on the “intensity” parameter).

[0122] The touch / motion module 130 optionally detects gesture input performed by the user. Different gestures on a touch-sensitive surface have different contact patterns (e.g., different movements, timings, and / or intensities of the detected contact). 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-off (lift-away) event at the same (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 a touch-sensitive surface includes detecting a finger press event, then detecting one or more finger drag events, and subsequently detecting a finger lift-off (lift-away) event.

[0123] The graphics module 132 includes various known software components for rendering and displaying graphics on the touchscreen 112 or other displays, including components for altering the visual impact of the displayed graphics (e.g., brightness, transparency, saturation, contrast, or other visual properties). 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.

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

[0125] The haptic feedback module 133 includes various software components for generating instructions which are used by the haptic output generator 167 to generate haptic output at one or more locations on the device 100 in response to user interaction with the device 100.

[0126] Optionally, the text input module 134, a component of the graphics module 132, provides a soft keyboard for entering text in various applications, such as contacts 137, email 140, IM 141, browser 147, and any other application that requires text input.

[0127] GPS module 135 determines the location of the device and provides that information for use in various applications (e.g., to telephone 138 for use in location-based dialing; to camera 143 as image / video metadata; and to applications that provide location-based services, such as weather widgets, local yellow pages widgets, and map / navigation widgets).

[0144] Incorporating the touchscreen 112, display controller 156, touch / motion module 130, graphics module 132, and text input module 134, the note-taking module 153 includes executable instructions for creating and managing notes, to-do items, etc., according to user instructions.

[0145] Combining RF circuit 108, touch screen 112, display controller 156, contact / motion module 130, graphics module 132, text input module 134, GPS module 135 and browser module 147, map module 154 is optionally used to receive, display, modify and store maps and data associated with the maps (e.g., driving directions, data related to shops and other points of interest at or near a specific location, and other location-based data) according to user instructions.

[0146] Incorporating touchscreen 112, display controller 156, touch / motion module 130, graphics module 132, audio circuitry 110, speaker 111, RF circuitry 108, text input module 134, email client module 140, and browser module 147, the online video module 155 includes instructions for: allowing users to access, browse, receive (e.g., via streaming and / or downloading), play back (e.g., on the touchscreen or on an external display connected via external port 124), send emails with links to specific online videos, and otherwise manage online videos in one or more file formats such as H.264. In some embodiments, an instant messaging module 141 is used instead of the email client module 140 to send links to specific online videos. Further descriptions of online video applications can be found in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 936,562, filed June 20, 2007, entitled “Portable Multifunction Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Playing Online Videos,” and U.S. Patent Application No. 11 / 968,067, filed December 31, 2007, entitled “Portable Multifunction Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Playing Online Videos,” the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

[0147] Each of the modules and applications described above corresponds to an executable set of instructions for performing one or more functions described above and the methods described in this patent application (e.g., computer-implemented methods and other information processing methods described herein). These modules (e.g., instruction sets) need not be implemented as separate software programs (such as computer programs (e.g., including instructions)), processes, or modules; therefore, various subsets of these modules may optionally be combined or otherwise rearranged in various embodiments. For example, a video player module may optionally be combined with a music player module into a single module (e.g., Figure 1A (e.g., video and music player module 152). In some embodiments, memory 102 optionally stores subgroups of the aforementioned modules and data structures. Additionally, memory 102 optionally stores other modules and data structures not described above.

[0148] In some implementations, device 100 is a device on which the operation of a predefined set of functions is performed solely via a touchscreen and / or touchpad. By using a touchscreen and / or touchpad as the primary input control device for operating device 100, the number of physical input control devices (e.g., push-buttons, dials, etc.) on device 100 is optionally reduced.

[0149] A predefined set of functions, uniquely performed via a touchscreen and / or touchpad, optionally includes navigation between user interfaces. In some embodiments, the touchpad, when touched by a user, navigates device 100 from any user interface displayed on device 100 to the main menu, home menu, or root menu. In such embodiments, a "menu button" is implemented using a touchpad. In some other embodiments, the menu button is a physical push-button or other physical input control device, rather than a touchpad.

[0150] Figure 1B This is a block diagram illustrating exemplary components for event handling according to some embodiments. In some embodiments, memory 102 ( Figure 1A ) or memory 370 ( Figure 3 This includes an event classifier 170 (e.g., in operating system 126) and a corresponding application 136-1 (e.g., any one of the aforementioned applications 137 to 151, 155, 380 to 390).

[0151] Event classifier 170 receives event information and determines the application 136-1 and application view 191 of application 136-1 to which the event information should be delivered. Event classifier 170 includes event monitor 171 and event dispatcher 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 running. 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 should be delivered.

[0152] In some implementations, the application internal state 192 includes additional information such as one or more of the following: recovery information to be used when the application 136-1 resumes execution, user interface state information indicating that information is being displayed or ready to be displayed by the application 136-1, a state queue for enabling the user to return to the previous state or view of the application 136-1, and a repeat / undo queue for the user's previous actions.

[0153] Event monitor 171 receives event information from peripheral interface 118. The event information includes information about sub-events, such as a user touch on touch-sensitive display 112 as part of a multi-touch gesture. Peripheral 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 (via audio circuitry 110). The information received by peripheral interface 118 from I / O subsystem 106 includes information from touch-sensitive display 112 or touch-sensitive surfaces.

[0154] In some implementations, event monitor 171 sends requests to peripheral device interface 118 at predetermined intervals. In response, peripheral device interface 118 transmits event information. In other implementations, peripheral device interface 118 transmits event information only when a significant event occurs (e.g., receiving input above a predetermined noise threshold and / or receiving input for a predetermined duration).

[0155] In some implementations, the event classifier 170 also includes a hit view determination module 172 and / or an activity event recognizer determination module 173.

[0156] When the touch-sensitive display 112 displays more than one view, the hit view determination module 172 provides a software process for determining where a sub-event has occurred within one or more views. A view consists of controls and other elements that the user can see on the display.

[0157] Another aspect of the user interface associated with an application is a set of views, sometimes referred to herein as application views or user interface windows, in which information is displayed and touch-based gestures occur. The application view (of the corresponding application) in which a touch is detected optionally corresponds to a procedural level within the application's procedural or view hierarchy. For example, the lowest-level view in which a touch is detected is optionally referred to as the hit view, and the set of events identified as correct input is optionally determined at least in part based on the hit view of the initial touch that initiates a touch-based gesture.

[0158] The hit view determination module 172 receives information related to sub-events of touch-based gestures. When an application has multiple views organized in a hierarchical structure, the hit view determination module 172 identifies the hit view as the lowest-level view in the hierarchical structure from which the sub-events should be processed. 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 forming an event or potential event) occurs. Once the hit view is identified by the hit view determination module 172, the hit view typically receives all sub-events related to the same touch or input source to which it was identified as the hit view.

[0159] The activity event recognizer determination module 173 determines which views(s) within the view hierarchy should receive a specific sub-event sequence. In some embodiments, the activity event recognizer determination module 173 determines that only the hit view should receive the specific sub-event sequence. In other embodiments, the activity event recognizer determination module 173 determines that all views including the physical location of the sub-event are actively participating views, and therefore determines that all actively participating views should receive the specific sub-event sequence. In other embodiments, even if the touch sub-event is entirely confined to the area associated with a particular view, higher views in the hierarchy will still remain actively participating views.

[0160] Event assigner module 174 assigns event information to event identifiers (e.g., event identifier 180). In embodiments that include active event identifier determination module 173, event assigner module 174 delivers event information to the event identifier determined by active event identifier determination module 173. In some embodiments, event assigner module 174 stores event information in an event queue, which is retrieved by the corresponding event receiver 182.

[0161] 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 part of another module (such as contact / motion module 130) stored in memory 102.

[0162] In some implementations, application 136-1 includes a plurality of event handlers 190 and one or more application views 191, each of which includes instructions for handling touch events occurring within a corresponding view of the application's user interface. Each application view 191 of application 136-1 includes one or more event recognizers 180. Typically, a corresponding application view 191 includes a plurality of event recognizers 180. In other implementations, one or more of the event recognizers 180 are part of a separate module, such as a user interface toolkit or a higher-level object from which application 136-1 inherits methods and other properties. In some implementations, a corresponding event handler 190 includes one or more of the following: a data updater 176, an object updater 177, a GUI updater 178, and / or event data 179 received from an event classifier 170. Event handlers 190 optionally utilize or invoke the data updater 176, the object updater 177, or the GUI updater 178 to update the application's internal state 192. Alternatively, one or more application views in application view 191 include one or more corresponding event handlers 190. Additionally, in some embodiments, one or more of data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178 are included in the corresponding application view 191.

[0163] 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 at least one subset of metadata 183 and event delivery instructions 188 (which optionally include sub-event delivery instructions).

[0164] Event receiver 182 receives event information from event classifier 170. The 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 touch movement, the event information optionally also includes the rate and direction of the sub-event. In some embodiments, the event includes the device rotating from one orientation to another (e.g., from a longitudinal orientation to a lateral orientation, or vice versa), and the event information includes corresponding information about the device's current orientation (also referred to as device orientation).

[0165] Event comparator 184 compares event information with predefined event or sub-event definitions and determines the event or sub-event based on the comparison, or determines or updates the state of the event or sub-event. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 includes event definition 186. Event definition 186 contains definitions of events (e.g., predefined sequences of sub-events), such as event 1 (187-1), event 2 (187-2), and others. In some embodiments, sub-events in event (187) include, for example, touch start, touch end, touch move, touch cancel, and multi-touch. In one example, event 1 (187-1) is defined as a double-click on a displayed object. For example, a double-click includes a first touch (touch start) of a predetermined duration on the displayed object, a first lift-off of a predetermined duration (touch end), a second touch (touch start) of a predetermined duration on the displayed object, and a second lift-off of a predetermined duration (touch end). In another example, event 2 (187-2) is defined as a drag on a displayed object. For example, dragging includes a touch (or contact) on the displayed object for a predetermined duration, movement of the touch on the touch-sensitive display 112, and lifting off the touch (touch end). In some embodiments, the event also includes information for one or more associated event handlers 190.

[0166] In some implementations, event definition 187 includes definitions of events for corresponding user interface objects. In some implementations, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which user interface object is associated with the 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 the event handler associated with the sub-event and the object that triggered the hit test.

[0167] In some implementations, the definition of the corresponding event (187) also includes a delay action that delays the delivery of event information until it has been determined whether the sub-event sequence actually corresponds to or does not correspond to the event type of the event recognizer.

[0168] When the corresponding event recognizer 180 determines that the sub-event sequence 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 based on touch gestures are ignored. In this case, other event recognizers (if any) that remain active in the hit view continue to track and process the ongoing sub-events based on touch gestures.

[0169] In some embodiments, the corresponding event recognizer 180 includes metadata 183 having configurable attributes, flags, and / or lists instructing how the event delivery system should perform sub-event delivery to actively participating event recognizers. In some embodiments, the metadata 183 includes configurable attributes, flags, and / or lists instructing how or how event recognizers can interact with each other. In some embodiments, the metadata 183 includes configurable attributes, flags, and / or lists instructing whether sub-events are delivered to different levels in a view or programmatic hierarchy.

[0170] In some implementations, when one or more specific sub-events of an event are identified, the corresponding event recognizer 180 activates the event handler 190 associated with the event. In some implementations, 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 delaying) the sub-events to the corresponding hit view. In some implementations, the event recognizer 180 throws a flag associated with the identified event, and the event handler 190 associated with that flag retrieves the flag and executes a predefined process.

[0171] In some implementations, event delivery instruction 188 includes 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 the sub-event sequence or to an actively participating view. The event handler associated with the sub-event sequence or the actively participating view receives the event information and executes a predetermined process.

[0172] In some implementations, 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 implementations, 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 touch-sensitive display.

[0173] In some implementations, event handler 190 includes, or has access to, a data updater 176, an object updater 177, and a GUI updater 178. In some implementations, 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 implementations, they are included in two or more software modules.

[0174] It should be understood that the above discussion regarding event handling for user touch on a touch-sensitive display also applies to other forms of user input used to operate the multifunction device 100 using an input device, and not all user input is initiated on the touchscreen. For example, mouse movement and mouse button presses optionally in conjunction with single or multiple keyboard presses or holds; touch movements on the touchpad, such as taps, drags, scrolls, etc.; stylus input; device movement; verbal commands; detected eye movements; biometric input; and / or any combination thereof may optionally be used as input corresponding to sub-events that define the event to be identified.

[0175] Figure 2A portable multifunction device 100 with a touchscreen 112 is illustrated according to some embodiments. The touchscreen 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 graphics by gesturing over the graphics, for example, 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, selection of one or more graphics occurs when the user breaks contact with one or more graphics. 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 scrolling (from right to left, from left to right, up and / or down) of a finger already in contact with the device 100. In some specific embodiments or in some cases, unintentional contact with a graphic does not select the graphic. For example, a swipe gesture over an application icon optionally does not select the corresponding application when the gesture corresponding to selection is a tap.

[0176] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more physical buttons, such as a "home" or menu button 204. As previously described, menu button 204 is optionally used to navigate to any application 136 of a set of applications optionally executed on device 100. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the menu button is implemented as a soft key in a GUI displayed on touchscreen 112.

[0177] In some embodiments, device 100 includes a touchscreen 112, a menu button 204, a push-button 206 for powering on / off and locking the device, one or more volume control buttons 208, a SIM card slot 210, a headset jack 212, and a docking / charging external port 124. The push-button 206 is optionally used to power on / off the device by pressing the button and holding it in the pressed state for a predefined time interval; to lock the device by pressing the button and releasing it before the predefined time interval has elapsed; and / or to unlock the device or initiate an unlocking process. In another embodiment, device 100 also accepts voice input via microphone 113 for activating or deactivating certain functions. Device 100 also optionally includes one or more contact strength sensors 165 for detecting the intensity of contact on the touchscreen 112, and / or one or more haptic output generators 167 for generating haptic outputs for a user of device 100.

[0178] Figure 3This is a block diagram of an exemplary multifunctional device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface according to some embodiments. Device 300 need not be portable. In some embodiments, device 300 is a laptop, desktop computer, tablet computer, multimedia player device, navigation device, educational device (such as a children's learning toy), gaming system, or control device (e.g., a home controller or industrial controller). Device 300 typically includes one or more processing units (CPUs) 310, one or more network or other communication interfaces 360, memory 370, and one or more communication buses 320 for interconnecting these components. The communication bus 320 optionally includes circuitry (sometimes referred to as a chipset) that interconnects system components and controls communication between system components. Device 300 includes an input / output (I / O) interface 330 with a display 340, which is typically a touchscreen display. The I / O interface 330 also optionally includes a keyboard and / or mouse (or other pointing device) 350 and a touchpad 355, and a haptic output generator 357 for generating haptic output on device 300 (e.g., similar to the reference above). Figure 1A The described tactile output generator 167), sensor 359 (e.g., optical sensor, accelerometer, proximity sensor, touch sensor and / or contact intensity sensor (similar to the one described above)) Figure 1A The described contact strength sensor 165). Memory 370 includes high-speed random access memory, such as DRAM, SRAM, DDR RAM, or other random access solid-state memory devices; and optionally includes non-volatile memory, such as one or more disk storage devices, optical disk storage devices, flash memory devices, or other non-volatile solid-state storage devices. Memory 370 optionally includes one or more storage devices located remotely from CPU 310. In some embodiments, memory 370 stores information related to portable multifunction device 100. Figure 1A The memory 370 stores programs, modules, and data structures similar to those in the memory 102 of the portable multifunction device 100, or subsets thereof. Additionally, the memory 370 optionally stores additional programs, modules, and data structures not present in the memory 102 of the portable multifunction device 100. For example, the memory 370 of the device 300 optionally stores a drawing module 380, a rendering module 382, ​​a word processing module 384, a website creation module 386, a disk editing module 388, and / or a spreadsheet module 390, while the portable multifunction device 100 (… Figure 1A The memory 102 may optionally not store these modules.

[0179] Figure 3Each of the elements described above is optionally stored in one or more memory devices of the previously mentioned memory devices. Each module described above corresponds to a set of instructions for performing the functions described above. The modules or computer programs described above (e.g., instruction sets or including instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs (such as computer programs (e.g., including instructions)), processes, or modules, and therefore various subsets of these modules are optionally combined or otherwise rearranged in various embodiments. In some embodiments, memory 370 optionally stores a subgroup of the modules and data structures described above. In addition, memory 370 optionally stores additional modules and data structures not described above.

[0180] Now let’s turn our attention to the implementation of the user interface, which is optionally implemented on, for example, a portable multifunction device 100.

[0181] Figure 4A An exemplary user interface for an application menu on a 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 elements or a subset or superset thereof: ●Signal strength indicator 402 for wireless communications such as cellular signals and Wi-Fi signals; ●Time 404; ●Bluetooth indicator 405; ● Battery status indicator 406; ● Tray tray 408 features icons for frequently used applications, such as: The telephone module 138 has an icon 416 labeled "telephone", which optionally includes an indicator 414 indicating the number of missed calls or voicemail messages. The email client module 140 has an icon 418 labeled "Mail" which optionally includes an indicator 410 for the number of unread emails; The browser module 147 has an icon 420 labeled "Browser"; and o Video and music player module 152 (also known as iPod module 152, a trademark of Apple Inc.) with icon 422 marked "iPod"; and ● Icons of other applications, such as: The icon 424 of oIM module 141 marked as "message"; The calendar module 148 has an icon 426 labeled "Calendar"; The image management module 144 has an icon 428 labeled "Photo". The icon 430 of the camera module 143 is labeled "camera"; o The icon 432 of the online video module 155, which is labeled "Online Video"; The icon 434 labeled "Stock Market" in the stock market widget 149-2; The icon 436 labeled "map" in the map module 154; The weather widget 149-1 has icon 438 labeled "weather"; The alarm clock widget 149-4 has an icon 440 labeled "clock"; The icon 442 of the fitness support module 142 is labeled "fitness support"; The icon 444 labeled "Notes" in the o-notes module 153; and o The icon 446, labeled "Settings," is used to set up an application or module that provides access to settings for the device 100 and its various applications 136.

[0182] It should be pointed out that, Figure 4A The illustrated icon labels are merely exemplary. For example, icon 422 of video and music player module 152 is labeled "Music" or "Music Player". Other labels may be optionally used for various application icons. In some embodiments, the label of a particular application icon includes the name of the application corresponding to that particular application icon. In some embodiments, the label of a particular application icon is different from the name of the application corresponding to that particular application icon.

[0183] Figure 4B An example is illustrated having a touch-sensitive surface 451 (e.g., separate from the display 450 (e.g., touchscreen display 112)). Figure 3 Devices such as tablets or touchpads (e.g., 355) Figure 3 An exemplary user interface on the device 300. The device 300 also optionally includes one or more contact intensity sensors (e.g., one or more of the sensors 359) for detecting the intensity of contact on the tactile surface 451 and / or one or more tactile output generators 357 for generating tactile outputs for the user of the device 300.

[0184] While some examples of input on a reference touchscreen display 112 (which combines a touch-sensitive surface and a display) are given below, in some implementations the device detects input on a touch-sensitive surface separate from the display, such as... Figure 4B As shown in the diagram. In some embodiments, the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., Figure 4B 451) has a spindle (e.g., on the display (e.g., 450) with the spindle on the display (e.g., 451). Figure 4BThe main axis corresponding to 453 in the middle (e.g., Figure 4B (452 in the example). According to these embodiments, the device detects the position corresponding to the corresponding position on the display (e.g., in the example). Figure 4B In the middle, 460 corresponds to 468 and 462 corresponds to 470) is in contact with the touch-sensitive surface 451 (e.g., Figure 4B (460 and 462 in the text). Thus, when the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., ...) Figure 4B 451 in the middle) and the display of a multi-functional device (e.g., Figure 4B When 450 is separated from the touch-sensitive surface, user input detected by the device on that touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touches 460 and 462 and their movement) is used by the device to manipulate the user interface on the display. It should be understood that similar methods may be optionally used for other user interfaces described herein.

[0185] Additionally, while the examples below are given primarily with reference to finger input (e.g., finger touch, single-finger tap gesture, finger swipe gesture), it should be understood that in some implementations, one or more of these finger inputs may be replaced by input from another input device (e.g., mouse-based input or stylus input). For example, a swipe gesture may optionally be replaced by a mouse click (e.g., instead of a touch), followed by movement of the cursor along the path of the swipe (e.g., instead of movement of the touch). Similarly, a tap gesture may optionally be replaced by a mouse click while the cursor is over the location of the tap gesture (e.g., instead of detection of touch, followed by cessation of touch detection). Likewise, when multiple user inputs are detected simultaneously, it should be understood that multiple computer mice may optionally be used simultaneously, or mouse and finger touch may optionally be used simultaneously.

[0186] Figure 5A An exemplary personal electronic device 500 is illustrated. Device 500 includes a body 502. In some embodiments, device 500 may include devices 100 and 300 (e.g., Figures 1A to 4B The device 500 may include some or all of the features described herein. In some embodiments, the device 500 has a touch-sensitive display 504, referred to below as a touchscreen 504. Alternatively, or in addition to the touchscreen 504, the device 500 may also have a display and a touch-sensitive surface. Similar to the cases of devices 100 and 300, in some embodiments, the touchscreen 504 (or touch-sensitive surface) optionally includes one or more intensity sensors for detecting the intensity of an applied contact (e.g., a touch). The one or more intensity sensors of the touchscreen 504 (or touch-sensitive surface) may provide output data representing the intensity of the touch. The user interface of the device 500 may respond to touches based on the intensity of the touch, meaning that touches of different intensities may invoke different user interface operations on the device 500.

[0187] Exemplary techniques for detecting and processing touch intensity are found, for example, in the following related patent applications: International Patent Application Serial No. PCT / US2013 / 040061, filed May 8, 2013, entitled “Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Displaying User Interface Objects Corresponding to an Application,” published under WIPO Patent Publication No. WO / 2013 / 169849; and International Patent Application Serial No. PCT / US2013 / 069483, filed November 11, 2013, entitled “Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Transitioning Between Touch Input to Display Output Relationships,” published under WIPO Patent Publication No. WO / 2014 / 105276, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

[0188] In some embodiments, device 500 has one or more input mechanisms 506 and 508. Input mechanisms 506 and 508, if included, can be physical. Examples of physical input mechanisms include push-buttons and rotatable mechanisms. In some embodiments, device 500 has one or more attachment mechanisms. Such attachment mechanisms, if included, allow device 500 to be attached to, for example, hats, glasses, earrings, necklaces, shirts, jackets, bracelets, watch straps, bangles, trousers, belts, shoes, wallets, backpacks, etc. These attachment mechanisms allow a user to wear device 500.

[0189] Figure 5B An exemplary personal electronic device 500 is depicted. In some embodiments, 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 I / O portion 514 to one or more computer processors 516 and memory 518. I / O portion 514 may be connected to display 504, which may have touch-sensitive components 522 and optionally have an intensity sensor 524 (e.g., a contact intensity sensor). Furthermore, I / O portion 514 may be connected to 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 may optionally be a rotatable input device or a pressable input device and a rotatable input device. In some examples, input mechanism 508 may optionally be a button.

[0190] In some examples, the input mechanism 508 is optionally a microphone. The personal electronic device 500 optionally includes various sensors, such as a GPS sensor 532, an accelerometer 534, an orientation sensor 540 (e.g., a compass), a gyroscope 536, a motion sensor 538, and / or combinations thereof, all of which are operatively connected to the I / O section 514.

[0191] The memory 518 of the personal electronic device 500 may include one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media for storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more computer processors 516, may, for example, cause the computer processors to perform the techniques described below, including processes 700, 900, 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, and 1900. Figure 7 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 , Figure 13 , Figure 15 , Figure 17 and Figure 19 A computer-readable storage medium can be any medium that can tangibly contain or store computer-executable instructions for use by or in connection with an instruction execution system, apparatus, or device. In some examples, the storage medium is a transient computer-readable storage medium. In some examples, the storage medium is a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. Non-transitory computer-readable storage media can include, but are not limited to, magnetic storage devices, optical storage devices, and / or semiconductor storage devices. Examples of such storage devices include magnetic disks, optical discs based on CD, DVD, or Blu-ray technology, and persistent solid-state storage such as flash memory, solid-state drives, etc. Personal electronic devices are not limited to... Figure 5B It can be the components and configurations, or it can include other components or additional components in a variety of configurations.

[0192] As used herein, the term "power indication" refers optionally to the power indication in devices 100, 300, and / or 500 ( Figure 1A , Figure 3 and Figures 5A to 5B A user-interactive graphical user interface object displayed on a screen. For example, images (e.g., icons), buttons, and text (e.g., hyperlinks) optionally each constitute a functional representation.

[0193] As used herein, the term "focus selector" refers to an input element used to indicate the current portion of a user interface with which a user is interacting. In some specific implementations that include a cursor or other positional marker, the cursor acts as a "focus selector," such that when the cursor is over a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider, or other user interface element), the cursor is positioned on a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a...). Figure 3 The touchpad 355 or Figure 4B When an input (e.g., a press input) is detected on the touch-sensitive surface 451 of the display, the specific user interface element is adjusted according to the detected input. This applies to touchscreen displays (e.g., those capable of direct interaction with user interface elements on a touchscreen display) that enable direct interaction with user interface elements on the touchscreen display. Figure 1A The touch-sensitive display system 112 or Figure 4A In some embodiments of the touchscreen 112, a touch detected on the touchscreen acts as a "focus selector," such that when input (e.g., a press input by touch) is detected at the location of a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider, or other user interface element) on the touchscreen display, that particular user interface element is adjusted according to the detected input. In some embodiments, focus moves from one area of ​​the user interface to another without corresponding movement of the cursor or movement of a touch on the touchscreen display (e.g., moving focus from one button to another using tab keys or arrow keys); in these embodiments, the focus selector moves according to the movement of focus between different areas of the user interface. Regardless of the specific form the focus selector takes, the focus selector is typically a user-controlled user interface element (or a touch on the touchscreen display) that delivers the user's expected interaction with the user interface (e.g., by indicating to the device the element of the user interface that the user expects to interact with). For example, when a press input is detected on a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touchpad or touchscreen), the position of the focus selector (e.g., a cursor, touch, or selection box) above the corresponding button will indicate to the user that they expect to activate the corresponding button (rather than other user interface elements shown on the device's display).

[0194] As used in the specification and claims, the term "characteristic intensity" of a contact refers to a characteristic of the 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 over 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, before or after contact begins to move, before contact ends, before or after contact intensity is detected to increase, and / or before or after contact intensity decreases). The characteristic intensity of the contact is optionally based on one or more of the following: the maximum value of the contact intensity, the mean value of the contact intensity, the average value of the contact intensity, the value at the top 10% of the contact intensity, the half maximum value of the contact intensity, the 90% maximum value of the contact intensity, 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 contact intensity over time). In some implementations, the feature intensity is compared to a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether the user has performed an action. For example, the set of one or more intensity thresholds may optionally include a first intensity threshold and a second intensity threshold. In this example, contact with a feature intensity not exceeding the first threshold results in a first action, contact with a feature intensity exceeding the first intensity threshold but not exceeding the second intensity threshold results in a second action, and contact with a feature intensity exceeding the second threshold results in a third action. In some implementations, a comparison between the feature intensity and one or more thresholds is used to determine whether to perform one or more actions (e.g., whether to perform the corresponding action or abandon its execution) rather than to determine whether to perform the first or second action.

[0195] As used herein, "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 on the device (e.g., become open). In some implementations, the downloaded application becomes an installed application using an installer that extracts program portions from the downloaded software package and integrates the extracted portions with the computer system's operating system.

[0196] As used herein, the terms "open application" or "running application" refer to a software application that maintains state information (e.g., as part of device / global internal state 157 and / or application internal state 192). An open or running application is optionally any of the following types of applications: ●The active application currently displayed on the screen of the device that is using the application; ● Background applications (or background processes) that are not currently displayed but whose one or more processes are being handled by one or more processors; and ●Suspended or hibernating applications that are not running but have state information stored in memory (both volatile and non-volatile) that can be used to resume application execution.

[0197] As used herein, the term "closed application" refers to a software application that does not retain state information (e.g., the state information of a closed application is not stored in the device's memory). Therefore, closing an application includes stopping and / or removing the application's process and removing the application's state information from the device's memory. Generally, opening a second application while the first application is running does not close the first application. When the second application is displayed and the first application stops displaying, the first application becomes a background application.

[0198] Now let’s turn our attention to the implementation of user interfaces (“UIs”) on electronic devices, such as portable multifunction devices 100, 300 or 500, and the associated processes.

[0199] Figures 6A to 6K An example clock user interface, including simulated emitted light, is illustrated according to some embodiments. The user interface in these figures is used to illustrate the processes described below, including... Figure 7 The process in.

[0200] Figure 6A An example is illustrated of a computer system 600 (e.g., a smartwatch) having a display 602. In some embodiments, the computer system 600 and / or the display 602 are in a sleep or low-power mode. In some embodiments, the display 602 is dimmed and / or disabled. The computer system 600 includes a rotatable and pressable input mechanism 604. In some embodiments, the computer system 600 includes one or more features of device 100, device 300, and / or device 500. In some embodiments, the computer system 600 is a tablet computer, telephone, laptop computer, desktop computer, and / or camera. In some embodiments, the input described below may be replaced by alternative inputs, such as press input and / or rotation input received via the rotatable and pressable input mechanism 604.

[0201] In response to the detection of input, such as tapping, wrist lift, pressing, and / or rotational input received via the rotatable and pressable input mechanism 604, the computer system 600 displays... Figure 6B The clock user interface 606 shown is shown.

[0202] In some implementations, the clock user interface 606 is displayed on a tablet computer, telephone (e.g., smartphone), laptop computer, and / or desktop computer. In some implementations, the clock user interface 606 is displayed on the home screen, lock screen, and / or wake-up screen of the tablet computer, telephone, laptop computer, and / or desktop computer.

[0203] The clock user interface 606 includes visual effects 606a, analog emitted light 606b, an hour hand area 606c, visual effects 606d, dial element area 606e, visual effects 606f, analog emitted light 606g, minute hand area 606h, visual effects 606i, dial element area 606j, visual effects 606k, dial element area 606l, shadow 606m, a complex function block 606n associated with the current temperature, a background 606o, dial element area 606p, and a second hand area 606s. The clock user interface 606 represents a 12-hour analog clock face and includes hour hand area 606c, minute hand area 606h, and second hand area 606s, which indicate the position of the corresponding clock hands. Specifically, analog emitted light 606b and analog emitted light 606g are emitted (or appear to be emitted) from hour hand area 606c and minute hand area 606h, respectively, to provide indication of the clock hand position. Figure 6B In the illustrated implementation, the hour and minute hands are not actually displayed in the hour hand area 606c and minute hand area 606h, respectively. In some implementations, clock hands that emit analog light beams 606b and 606g are displayed. For example, instead of the analog light beam 606b appearing to be emitted from an area of ​​the clock user interface 606, the hour hand is displayed at the location of the hour hand area 606c.

[0204] exist Figure 6B The image shows a clock user interface 606 at 9:11 AM. Thus, the hour hand area 606c (e.g., the hour hand) is positioned at 9 o'clock and the minute hand area 606h (e.g., the minute hand) is positioned at 11 minutes. Visual effects 606a of the clock user interface 606 include analog emitted light 606b, which indicates that the hour hand area 606c is at the 9 o'clock position because the analog emitted light 606b appears to be emitted from the clockwise edge of the hour hand area 606c. Visual effects 606f of the clock user interface 606 include analog emitted light 606g, which indicates that the minute hand area 606h is at the 11 minutes position because the analog emitted light 606g appears to be emitted from the counter-clockwise edge of the minute hand area 606h.

[0205] Although Figure 6BIn this embodiment, simulated emitted light 606b and simulated emitted light 606g are described as being emitted from the clockwise edge of the hour hand region 606c and the counterclockwise edge of the minute hand region 606h, respectively. However, simulated emitted light 606b and simulated emitted light 606g may also be emitted from other edges of the hour hand region 606c and the minute hand region 606h. In some embodiments, simulated emitted light 606b is emitted from the counterclockwise edge of the hour hand region 606c, and simulated emitted light 606g is emitted from the counterclockwise edge of the minute hand region 606h. In some embodiments, simulated emitted light 606b is emitted from the clockwise edge of the hour hand region 606c, and simulated emitted light 606g is emitted from the clockwise edge of the minute hand region 606h. In some embodiments, the simulated emitted light 606b is emitted from the counter-clockwise edge of the hour hand region 606c, and the simulated emitted light 606g is emitted from the clockwise edge of the minute hand region 606h. Therefore, any combination of the edges of the hour hand region 606c and the minute hand region 606h can emit the simulated emitted light 606b and the simulated emitted light 606g, respectively.

[0206] Visual effect 606d is based on the analog emitted light 606b from the hour hand region 606c and the position of the hour hand region 606c relative to the dial element region 606e (e.g., time markers). For example, the position of the hour hand region 606c causes the analog emitted light 606b to illuminate the dial element region 606e (e.g., time markers), thus forming visual effect 606d (e.g., the displayed time markers and corresponding shadows). Furthermore, the dial element region 606e (e.g., time markers) blocks the analog emitted light 606b and forms shadow 606m. Similarly, visual effect 606i is based on the analog emitted light 606g from the minute hand region 606h and the position of the minute hand region 606h relative to the dial element region 606j. Therefore, the position of the minute hand region 606h causes the analog emitted light 606g to illuminate the dial element region 606j, thus forming visual effect 606i. In addition, the dial element area 606j blocks the simulated emitted light 606g and forms a shadow 606m.

[0207] In some implementations, analog emitted light 606b and analog emitted light 606g illuminate the same dial element area, such as dial element area 606l. At this location, dial element area 606l blocks both analog emitted light 606b and analog emitted light 606g, forming a shadow based on analog emitted light 606b and a shadow based on analog emitted light 606g. Therefore, the visual effect 606k includes two shadows formed by the interaction of dial element area 606l with analog emitted light 606b and analog emitted light 606g, which change as the positions of clock hands 606c and clock hands 606h change.

[0208] In some implementations, the minute hand region 606h blocks the analog emitted light 606b. For example, when the minute hand region 606h is closer to the hour hand region 606c (such as near the 12 o'clock position or the 0 minute position), the minute hand region 606h blocks the analog emitted light 606b from being scattered on the clock user interface 606.

[0209] exist Figure 6B In the clock face, the hour hand region 606c includes a cutout 606z, and a portion of the edge of the hour hand region 606c is curved. The curve and cutout of the hour hand region 606c interact with the analog emitted light 606b, such that the analog emitted light 606b appears to be emitted naturally from the curve and cutout of the hour hand region 606c. This enhances the overall appearance of the analog emitted light 606b and the clock user interface 606 by providing the analog emitted light that realistically and clearly indicates the position of the hour hand region 606c, thus helping the user determine the current time of day.

[0210] In some implementations, the hour hand area 606c and the minute hand area 606h have the same color (e.g., black) as the background 606o of the clock user interface 600. Therefore, as described above, the positions of the hour hand area 606c and the minute hand area 606h can be observed based on the analog emitted light 606b and the analog emitted light 606g, thus providing the user with an indication of the current time even if the hour hand area 606c and the minute hand area 606h appear to blend into the background 606o (e.g., the hour or minute hand is not displayed).

[0211] Some areas of the clock user interface 606 that are not illuminated by the analog emitted light 606b and / or analog emitted light 606g (such as user interface area 606p) also have the same color as the background 606o and are not displayed. Therefore, the number of user interface areas illuminated by and / or blocked by the analog emitted light 606b and / or analog emitted light 606g is based on the positions of the hour hand area 606c and the minute hand area 606h. As the positions of the hour hand area 606c and the minute hand area 606h change, the analog emitted light 606b and analog emitted light 606g interact with different user interface areas, causing the user interface areas to be illuminated and shadowed, as discussed further below. Figures 6F to 6K As shown.

[0212] In some implementations, the user can select whether the analog emitted light 606b and / or analog emitted light 606g interacts with the dial element areas 606e, 606j, 606l, and 606p representing the time markers of the clock user interface 606 (e.g., whether the hour and / or minute markers are displayed and / or visible when they are in the path of the emitted light). The user can make this selection by choosing settings or parameters of the clock user interface 606 (e.g., in a settings or edit menu). Thus, the clock user interface 606 can be displayed without any time markers, allowing the analog emitted light 606b and analog emitted light 606g to illuminate the background 606o without interference from the user interface areas representing the time markers.

[0213] exist Figure 6B In the analog emission light 606b, a first color is included, and the analog emission light 606g includes a second color different from the first color. For example, the analog emission light 606b may be red, while the analog emission light 606g may be green. In some embodiments, the analog emission light 606b and the analog emission light 606g are the same color. For example, the clock user interface 606 may be displayed in a black and white mode, where both the analog emission light 606b and the analog emission light 606g are white (or a shade of gray).

[0214] In some implementations, the computer system 600 detects an input corresponding to a selection that changes the colors of the analog emitted light 606b and the analog emitted light 606g, and in response, changes the colors of the analog emitted light 606b and the analog emitted light 606g. For example, the option to change the colors of the analog emitted light 606b and the analog emitted light 606g from red and green to white may be selected, and the color of the analog emitted light 606b may be changed from red to white, and the color of the analog emitted light 606g may be changed from green to white.

[0215] exist Figure 6B In the clock display 606c, the simulated emitted light 606b is emitted from the clockwise edge of the hour hand region 606c, but not from the counterclockwise edge. Similarly, the simulated emitted light 606g is emitted from the counterclockwise edge of the minute hand region 606h, but not from the clockwise edge. Therefore, because the emitting edges of the hour hand region 606c and the minute hand region 606h face each other, the simulated emitted light 606b and the simulated emitted light 606g are combined (e.g., interact, merge, and / or overlap) in the visual effect 606k of the clock user interface 606. In some embodiments, such as those described below... Figures 6I to 6KIn the implementations discussed herein, the emitting edges of the hour hand region 606c and the minute hand region 606h are opposite to each other, and the simulated emitted light 606b and the simulated emitted light 606g do not interact or interact to a minimum.

[0216] In some implementations, the simulated emitted light 606b and / or simulated emitted light 606g do not affect the visual appearance of the complex functional block 606m. For example, the simulated emitted light 606b and / or simulated emitted light 606g stop before reaching the complex functional block or are blocked by the boundary of the complex functional block. Figure 6B In the clock user interface 606, analog emitted light 606b and analog emitted light 606g stop before interacting with the complex function block 606m associated with the current temperature and / or weather application (e.g., at the boundary of the circular area of ​​the clock user interface). Similarly, analog emitted light 606b and analog emitted light 606g stop before interacting with the complex function block of the current UV index and / or any other complex function blocks displayed in the clock user interface 606. Therefore, analog emitted light 606b and analog emitted light 606g do not affect the complex function block 606m or other complex function blocks of the clock user interface 606, thus allowing the user to clearly view the information displayed by the complex function blocks.

[0217] In some embodiments, the computer system 600 (e.g., in response to user input such as in a clock face editing user interface) changes a complex function block 606m from one associated with a current temperature and / or weather application to one associated with another application such as an exercise application. Similarly, in some embodiments, the computer system 600 changes some or all of the complex function blocks displayed in the clock user interface 606 to other complex function blocks. Thus, some or all of the complex function blocks displayed in the clock user interface 606 may be associated with applications other than those described herein.

[0218] In some implementations, the computer system 600 does not display (or stops displaying) the complex function block 606m (and / or displays one or more other complex function blocks in the clock user interface 606) and Figure 6B The clock user interface 606 shown in the diagram displays analog emitted light 606b and analog emitted light 606g in an area occupied (or previously occupied) by complex function blocks. For example, when complex function blocks 606m and other complex function blocks are not displayed in the clock user interface 606, the analog emitted light extends to the edge of the display 602 and is not obscured by the area occupied by complex function blocks in the clock user interface 606. Figure 6B The area occupied by complex functional blocks in the code is blocked.

[0219] In some implementations, when a complex function block is not displayed in the clock user interface 606 (or is removed from it) (e.g., the computer system 600 stops displaying complex function block 606m and / or other complex function blocks), the dial element areas 606e, 606j, 606l, and 606p (which represent time markers) occupy the clock user interface 606. Figure 6B Different locations within the clock. For example, when complex function blocks are not displayed in the clock user interface 606, the dial element areas 606e, 606j, 606l, and / or 606p occupy different positions. Figure 6B The complex functional block occupies at least a portion of the area.

[0220] In some embodiments, the computer system 600 displays dial element areas 606e, 606j, 606l, and / or 606p such that analog emitted light 606b and analog emitted light 606g do not interact with the dial element areas. Therefore, when the dial element areas are displayed in this manner, analog emitted light 606b and analog emitted light 606g can extend to the edge of the clock user interface 606 without being blocked by the dial element areas. In some embodiments, the computer system 600 displays dial element areas 606e, 606j, 606l, and 606p such that analog emitted light 606b and analog emitted light 606g do not interact with the dial element areas and stop displaying complex function blocks 606m and others, thereby allowing analog emitted light 606b and analog emitted light 606g to extend to the edge of the clock user interface 606, which includes at least a portion of the area previously occupied by complex function blocks.

[0221] Figure 6C A view of a computer system 600 and a conceptual diagram of a clock user interface 606 viewed from the side are illustrated. The side view includes a background 606o and multiple analog light sources, light source 606q and light source 606r, on the hour hand area 606c. Light sources 606q and 606r generate analog emitted light 606b. Specifically, light source 606q has an analog height z1 relative to the background 606o, and light source 606r has an analog height z2 relative to the background 606o, wherein the analog height z2 is different from the analog height z1. Therefore, the analog emitted light 606b generated by light sources 606q and 606r illuminates the background 606o based on the analog heights z1 and z2 to create realistic light scattering.

[0222] In some embodiments, light source 606q has (e.g., produces or emits) light of a first color, and light source 606r has light of a second color different from the first color. For example, light source 606q includes green light and light source 606r includes white light, such that the analog emitted light 606b has a more vivid appearance because light source 606q appears closer to the user viewing the clock user interface 606 and further away from the background 606o. In some embodiments, light source 606q includes white light and light source 606r may include green light, such that the analog emitted light 606b has a lighter and brighter appearance because white light is closer to the user viewing the clock user interface 606 and further away from the background 606o.

[0223] exist Figure 6D In the middle, the second hand area is 606s from the 30-second position (e.g. Figure 6C (As shown) Proceed to the 0-second position. At this position, the second hand area 606s divides the simulated emitted light 606b and simulated emitted light 606g, and prevents the simulated emitted light 606b and simulated emitted light 606g from interacting and / or combining to form the visual effect 606k.

[0224] The second hand area 606s includes edges 606t and 606u. Edge 606u is shorter than edge 606t at its rotation point 606w relative to the center of the clock user interface 606. Additionally, the second hand area 606s emits analog emitted light 606v of a different color than the analog emitted light 606b and / or analog emitted light 606g around its perimeter. This allows the user to distinguish the second hand area 606s from, and simultaneously divide and block, the analog emitted light 606b and analog emitted light 606g.

[0225] When the computer system 600 detects a predetermined condition (such as entering a low-power state), the computer system 600 displays a clock user interface 606 including visual effects 606k, such as... Figure 6E As shown. When entering a low-power state, the clock user interface 606 stops displaying the second hand area 606s, thereby allowing the analog emitted light 606b and analog emitted light 606g to combine to form the visual effect 606k.

[0226] Go to Figure 6F The second hand area is 606s from... Figure 6DThe clock advances from the 0-second position to the 10-second position. At this position, the second hand region 606s intersects with the analog emitted light 606b and analog emitted light 606g. Specifically, the second hand region 606s intersects with the minute hand region 606h at a point near the center of the clock user interface 606, at which point it blocks some or all of the analog emitted light 606g emitted by the minute hand region 606h. However, the second hand region 606s does not intersect with the minute hand region 606h, which is further away from the center of the clock user interface 606, and therefore the analog emitted light 606g is emitted from the user interface 606h, which is closer to the edge of the clock user interface 606.

[0227] exist Figure 6G In the middle, the second hand area is 606s from Figure 6F The hand advances from the 10-second position to the 50-second position. At this position, the second hand area 606s is... Figure 6F The analog emitted light beams 606b and 606g intersect at different locations. Specifically, the second hand region 606s intersects the hour hand region 606c at a point near the center of the clock user interface 606, where it blocks some or all of the analog emitted light beam 606b emitted by the hour hand region 606c. However, the second hand region 606s does not intersect with the hour hand region 606c, which is further away from the center of the clock user interface 606, and therefore the analog emitted light beam 606b is emitted from the user interface 606c, which is closer to the edge of the clock user interface 606.

[0228] exist Figure 6H In the middle, the second hand area is 606s from Figure 6G The hand advances from the 50-second position to the 11-second position. At this position, the second hand region 606s intersects with the analog emitted light beams 606b and 606g between the hour hand region 606c and the minute hand region 606g, but does not directly intersect with either the hour hand region 606c or the minute hand region 606h. Therefore, neither the analog emitted light beams 606b nor 606g are blocked when emitted. Instead, the analog emitted light beams 606b and 606g are blocked at a point between the hour hand region 606c and the minute hand region 606h to prevent them from mixing (e.g., combining).

[0229] Go to Figure 6I The display shows a clock user interface 606 indicating the current time of day as 10:45. Therefore, the hour hand area 606c remains at the 10 o'clock position, while the minute hand area 606h... Figure 6B and Figures 6D to 6HThe 11-minute position is advanced to the 45-minute position. At this position, the clockwise edge of the hour hand region 606c emitting analog light 606b and the counter-clockwise edge of the minute hand region 606h emitting analog light 606g are separated from each other, such that analog light 606b (from hour hand region 606c) and analog light 606g (from minute hand region 606h) illuminate each of the time markers on the clock user interface 606 except for the dial element region 606t. Therefore, some or all of the time markers on the clock user interface 606 except for the dial element region 606t are displayed. Additionally, the second hand region 606s is located between the hour hand region 606c and the minute hand region 606h, and therefore does not obstruct analog light 606b or analog light 606g.

[0230] exist Figure 6J In the middle, the second hand area is 606s from Figure 6I The clock advances from the 45-second position to the 55-second position. At this position, the second hand region 606s now intersects with the visual effect 606a and blocks the analog emitted light 606b from the hour hand region 606c. This prevents the analog emitted light 606b from interacting with the dial element region 606l and the dial element regions adjacent to the counterclockwise and clockwise dial element regions 606l. Thus, these dial element regions are not illuminated by the analog emitted light 606b from the hour hand region 606c and are not displayed on the clock user interface region 606. However, the analog emitted light 606g from the minute hand region 606h is not affected by the second hand region 606s at this time, and therefore the analog emitted light 606g is naturally dispersed on the clock user interface 606, which interacts with several elements of the clock user interface.

[0231] exist Figure 6K In the middle, the second hand area is 606s from Figure 6J The 55-second position is advanced to the 20-second position. Therefore, the second hand region 606s now intersects with the visual effect 606f and blocks the analog emitted light 606g from the minute hand region 606h. This prevents the analog emitted light 606g from interacting with the dial element region 606j and the dial element regions immediately adjacent to it clockwise. Thus, these dial element regions are not illuminated by the analog emitted light 606g from the minute hand region 606h and are not displayed on the clock user interface region 606. However, the analog emitted light 606b from the hour hand region 606c is now unaffected by the second hand region 606s, and therefore the analog emitted light 606b is naturally dispersed across the clock user interface 606, which interacts with several elements of the clock user interface.

[0232] These examples will make it clear that as the hour hand area 606c, minute hand area 606h, and second hand area 606s move around the clock user interface 606 corresponding to the current time, the area of ​​the clock user interface 606 illuminated by the analog emitted light 606b and analog emitted light 606g will change, thus enabling the user to view the current time.

[0233] Figure 7 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for displaying a clock user interface, including simulated light emission, using a computer system according to some embodiments. Method 700 is performed at a computer system (e.g., 100, 300, 500, or 600) communicating with display generating components (e.g., a display controller and / or a touch-sensitive display system) and one or more input devices (e.g., buttons, rotatable input mechanisms, speakers, cameras, motion detectors (e.g., accelerometers and / or gyroscopes) and / or touch-sensitive surfaces). Some operations in method 700 may optionally be combined, some operations may optionally be changed in order, and some operations may optionally be omitted.

[0234] As described below, method 700 provides an intuitive way to display a clock face including simulated emitted light. This method reduces the cognitive burden on users when viewing a clock face including simulated emitted light, thereby creating a more efficient human-computer interface. For battery-powered computing devices, it allows users to view the clock face faster and more efficiently, saving power and increasing the time interval between battery charging.

[0235] A computer system (e.g., 600) (e.g., a smartwatch, wearable electronic device, smartphone, desktop computer, laptop, or tablet) receives (702) a request to display a clock user interface (e.g., a dial user interface) via one or more input devices (e.g., input, raising or rotating gestures, tapping gestures (e.g., tapping gestures on a touch-sensitive surface), voice commands, button presses, and / or rotation of a rotatable input mechanism).

[0236] In some embodiments, a request to display a user interface is received when the display generating component is in a locked, inactive, low-power, sleep, and / or dimmed state. In some embodiments, a request to display a user interface is received when the display generating component is displaying a home screen or pop-up user interface (e.g., a user interface including multiple optional objects for launching a corresponding application). In some embodiments, a request to display a user interface is received when the display generating component is displaying a wake screen, lock screen, the user interface of an application (e.g., a music application, email application, or messaging application), and / or a user interface other than a clock face user interface. In some embodiments, a request to display a user interface is received when the display generating component is displaying a user interface (e.g., a clock face user interface) in a first state (e.g., a locked, inactive, low-power, sleep, and / or dimmed state). In some embodiments, a request to display a user interface is received when the display generating component is displaying a different clock face user interface (e.g., in addition to...). Figures 6B to 6K When the clock face user interface is displayed (other than the clock face user interface in the original text), a request to display the user interface is received. In some embodiments, the request to display the user interface is received while the display generating component is displaying a user interface associated with the notification (e.g., displaying a summary or list of the notification and / or concurrently displaying user interfaces for two or more notifications).

[0237] In response to receiving a request to display a clock user interface, the computer system displays (704) a clock user interface (e.g., 606) via a display generation component. The clock user interface includes concurrently displaying: a first visual effect portion (706) (e.g., 606a, 606d, 606i, 606f and / or 606k), the first visual effect portion including simulated emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) indicating the position of a first user interface area (e.g., 606c, 606h and / or 606s) (e.g., the hour hand area, an area representing the area occupied by the hour hand, and / or its boundary (e.g., the edge representing the hour hand)) in the clock user interface, wherein the position and / or shape of the first user interface area indicates the current time of day (e.g., the current hour, current minute, and / or current second); and a second visual effect portion (706). 08) (e.g., 606a, 606d, 606i, 606f and / or 606k) (e.g., included in, for part of and / or formed by the simulated emission light of the first visual effect portion, or a combination of the simulated emission light with another simulated emission light), the second visual effect portion being based on the simulated emission light from the first visual effect portion and the position of the first user interface area relative to the second user interface area (e.g., background, watch hands, complication blocks, time indicators and / or elements of the simulated dial (e.g., hour and / or minute markers)), wherein the second user interface area is different from the first user interface area. An automatic display of a user interface, comprising concurrently displaying a first visual effect portion and a second visual effect portion, the first visual effect portion including simulated emitted light indicating the position of a first user interface area in a clock user interface, such that the position and / or shape of the first user interface area indicates the current time of day, the second visual effect portion being based on the simulated emitted light from the first visual effect portion and the position of the first user interface area relative to the second user interface area, enabling the user interface to transmit the current time and be displayed without requiring additional user input to configure the user interface (e.g., by manually selecting which area of ​​the user interface should be illuminated by the emitted light, and / or by manually selecting where the second visual effect portion should be located), thereby performing an operation when a set of conditions has been met without further user input.

[0238] In some embodiments, the clock hand is not displayed and / or is not visible in the first user interface area (e.g., 606c, 606h, and / or 606s) (e.g., the first user interface area is the area in the clock user interface that the clock hand would occupy if displayed (e.g., an empty area)). In some embodiments, the first user interface area includes a boundary (e.g., the edge of the clock hand). In some embodiments, the first user interface area does not include the clock hand (e.g., only the boundary is visible due to analog emitted light). In some embodiments, the first user interface area is dynamic (e.g., capable of moving). In some embodiments, the first user interface area has a static size, shape, and / or length (e.g., the first user interface area does not otherwise change as it moves around within the clock user interface). In some embodiments, the first user interface area includes two boundaries (e.g., the two edges of the clock hand). In some embodiments, the first user interface area has different positions at different times. In some embodiments, the first user interface area represents a clock hand (e.g., the hour hand, minute hand, or second hand) that rotates around a point on the clock user interface to indicate time (e.g., the current time). In some embodiments, the first user interface area extends a predetermined distance from a point on the clock user interface (e.g., the length of the clock hand). In some embodiments, the first user interface object has a predetermined width. In some embodiments, the first user interface area rotates together with a second user interface area (e.g., 606c, 606h, and / or 606s) (e.g., a second watch hand). In some embodiments, the first user interface area spans the second user interface area (e.g., a second watch hand). In some embodiments, the first visual effect portion, such as 606a, 606d, 606i, 606f, and / or 606k, is based on characteristics of the first user interface area (e.g., size, shape, length, and / or width). In some embodiments, the first visual effect portion is based on the position of the first user interface area (e.g., as the first user interface area moves within the clock user interface). In some embodiments, simulated emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) appears to be emitted from the first user interface area. In some embodiments, simulated emitted light radiates outward from the first user interface area. In some embodiments, simulated emitted light radiates a predetermined distance (e.g., when a clock face with artificial barriers, such as a circle, is selected). In some embodiments, simulated emitted light appears to be emitted from a portion (e.g., one side) of the first user interface area. In some implementations, a portion of the first user interface area does not include simulated emitted light (e.g., the dark side of the boundary).

[0239] In some implementations, the position and / or shape of the second user interface area (e.g., 606c, 606e, 606h, 606j, 606l, and / or 606s) indicates the current time of day (e.g., current hour, current minute, and / or current second). In some implementations, the second visual effect portion (e.g., 606a, 606d, 606i, 606f, and / or 606k) is positioned relative to the first user interface area (e.g., 606c, 606h, and / or 606s) and the third user interface area (e.g., 606c, 606e, 606h, 606j, 606l, 606n, and / or 606s) (e.g., a second hand, a complication block, and / or a time indicator). In some implementations, the second visual effect portion is based on characteristics of the first user interface area (e.g., position, color, shape, size, and / or brightness). In some embodiments, the second visual effect portion is based on the characteristics (e.g., color, shape, and / or brightness) of simulated emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g). In some embodiments, the second visual effect portion includes emitted light indicating the location of a second user interface area (e.g., emitted light different from that of the first visual effect portion). In some embodiments, the second visual effect portion is part of the first visual effect portion (e.g., a shadow formed by a time indicator that stops its illumination effect upon encountering a complication block and / or when intersecting with the second hand). In some embodiments, the second visual effect portion is based on the location of the first user interface area and the location of the second user interface area (e.g., a combination of simulated emitted light from each area). In some embodiments, the second visual effect portion is based on the edge of the first user interface area (e.g., the simulation stops at the edge of the first user interface area (e.g., watch hands)). In some embodiments, the second visual effect portion is based on the edge of the second user interface area (e.g., the simulated light stops at the edge of the second user interface area (e.g., complication blocks and / or watch hands)). In some embodiments, the emitted light of the second visual effect portion is separate from the emitted light of the first visual effect portion (e.g., separated by a third user interface area). In some implementations, the second visual effect portion includes emitted light (e.g., emitted light different from that of the first visual effect portion) that indicates the location of a third user interface area (e.g., a second hand).

[0240] In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) displays a third visual effect portion (e.g., 606k) (e.g., a combination of light from a first user interface area representing a first clock hand (e.g., the hour hand) and light from a second user interface area representing a second clock hand (e.g., the minute hand), the third visual effect portion including a combination (e.g., overlapping, merging, and / or blending) of analog emitted light (e.g., 606b) indicating the location of the first user interface area (e.g., from the first user interface area) and other analog emitted light (e.g., 606g) (e.g., from the second user interface area). In some embodiments, the analog emitted light indicating the location of the first user interface area and other analog emitted light are the same color. In some embodiments, the analog emitted light and another analog emitted light are different colors. In some embodiments, the third visual effect portion includes a color that is a combination of the colors of the analog emitted light and another analog emitted light. In some embodiments, the third visual effect portion is brighter than the analog emitted light. In some embodiments, the third visual effect portion is darker than the analog emitted light. Automatically displaying a combination of analog emitted light and other analog emitted light that indicates the location of the first user interface area enables the display of the user interface without requiring additional user input to configure the user interface (e.g., by indicating the portions of the analog emitted light that should be combined), thereby performing an operation when a set of conditions has been met without further user input.

[0241] In some implementations, another analog emitted light (e.g., 606g) indicates the position of a third user interface area (e.g., 606h and / or 606s) (e.g., a second clock hand) in the clock user interface, wherein the position and / or shape of the third user interface area indicates the current time of day (e.g., current hour, current minute, and / or current second). Displaying an analog emitted light indicating the current time of day provides visual feedback on the time of day and helps the user quickly and easily view the current time of day, thus providing improved feedback to the user.

[0242] In some embodiments, a second user interface region (e.g., 606e, 606h, 606j, 606l, 606n, and / or 606s) blocks analog emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) (e.g., analog emitted light indicating the location of a first region and / or analog emitted light indicating the location of one or more other regions) (e.g., the second user interface region prevents light from illuminating a portion of the user interface). In some embodiments, the amount of analog emitted light blocked by the second user interface region changes as the first user interface region (e.g., 606c) changes position. In some embodiments, the amount of analog emitted light blocked by the second user interface region is based on the current time of day. In some embodiments, the second user interface region is static. In some embodiments, the second user interface region is dynamic (e.g., changing position, shape, and / or size). Automatically blocking analog emitted light with the user interface region enables the display of the user interface without requiring additional user input to configure the user interface (e.g., by indicating the portion of the analog emitted light that will be blocked by the user interface region), thereby performing operations when a set of conditions have been met without further user input.

[0243] In some embodiments, the position and / or shape of the second user interface area (e.g., 606h and / or 606s) indicates the current time of day (e.g., a clock hand). In some embodiments, the second user interface area blocks a larger portion of the analog emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) at different current times of day. In some embodiments, the second user interface area blocks a smaller portion of the analog emitted light at different times of day. In some embodiments, the second user interface area blocks the analog emitted light along one edge of the second user interface area. In some embodiments, the analog emitted light illuminates the area of ​​the clock user interface that is not blocked by the second user interface area. Displaying a user interface area indicating the current time of day provides visual feedback about the time of day and helps the user quickly and easily check the current time of day, thus providing improved feedback to the user.

[0244] In some implementations, the second user interface area (e.g., 606e, 606j, 606l, 606n, and / or 606p) represents a time marker (e.g., minute or hour markers on an analog clock dial). Displaying a user interface area that serves as a time marker provides visual feedback about the time of day and helps the user quickly and easily view the current time of day, thus providing improved feedback to the user.

[0245] In some embodiments, the second visual effect portion (e.g., 606d, 606i, and / or 606k) includes a shadow (e.g., 606m) based on the position of the simulated emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) and the first user interface area (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) relative to the position of the second user interface area (e.g., 606e, 606j, 606l, and / or 606p) (e.g., a shadow formed by simulated emitted light interacting with a time marker). In some embodiments, the second user interface area is static, and the shadow moves around within the second user interface area as the position of the first user interface area changes. In some embodiments, the shadow is based on the current time of day. In some embodiments, the simulated emitted light changes position based on the current time of day. In some embodiments, the shadow is a first shadow, and the second visual effect portion includes a second shadow based on another simulated emitted light (e.g., from the minute hand) indicating the position of a third user interface area (e.g., the minute hand) in the clock user interface, wherein the position and / or shape of the third user interface area indicates the current time of day. In some implementations, the second shadow moves around within the second user interface area as the position of the third user interface area changes. In some implementations, the second shadow is based on the current time of day. Automatically displaying the shadow based on simulated emitted light and the second user interface area enables the display of the user interface without requiring additional user input to configure it (e.g., by indicating the position of a second visual effect portion of the shadow based on the first and second user interface areas), thereby performing operations when a set of conditions have been met without further user input.

[0246] In some embodiments, the shadow is formed based on the interaction of analog emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) with time markers (e.g., 606e, 606j, 606l, and / or 606p) (e.g., the shadow is cast behind the time markers when the analog emitted light illuminates them). In some embodiments, the shadow is cast on one side of the time marker instead of the other. In some embodiments, the position of the shadow relative to the time markers changes based on the position of a first user interface area (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) (e.g., because the position of the analog emitted light changes with the current time of day). In some embodiments, the position of the shadow relative to the time markers is based on the current time of day. In some embodiments, the display of the shadow is based on the current time of day (e.g., at the current time of day when the analog emitted light illuminates a portion of the clock user interface that is different from the portion of the clock user interface that includes the time markers). In some embodiments, a second shadow is formed based on the interaction of analog emitted light with a second time marker. In some embodiments, the first shadow and the second shadow have different positions relative to their respective time markers. Automatically displaying shadows based on the interaction between simulated emitted light and time markers enables the display of a user interface without requiring additional user input to configure the interface (e.g., by indicating the position of the shadow based on the interaction between simulated emitted light and time markers), thereby performing operations when a set of conditions have been met without further user input.

[0247] In some implementations, the computer system (e.g., 600) detects a selection (e.g., a tap, swipe, and / or press on a touch-sensitive surface) of an option (e.g., an optional option, such as an option to turn the time marker on and / or off) corresponding to a time marker (e.g., 606e, 606j, 606l, and / or 606p). In some implementations, after (e.g., in response to) detecting a selection of an option corresponding to a time marker, a second visual effect portion (e.g., 606d, 606i, and / or 606k) is displayed via a display generation component and in the clock user interface (e.g., 600), and the second visual effect portion is not based on a second user interface area (e.g., 606e, 606j, 606l, and / or 606p) (e.g., simulated light emission does not interact with the area of ​​the clock user interface representing the time marker). Changing the second visual effect portion after detecting an option corresponding to a time marker reduces the number of inputs required to perform the operation (e.g., by removing the time marker and the visual effect formed by the time marker from a single input), thereby reducing the number of inputs required to perform the operation.

[0248] In some embodiments, multiple regions (e.g., 606e, 606j, 606l, and / or 606p) of the clock user interface that block the analog emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) (e.g., the number of visible time markers) are based on the position of a first user interface region (e.g., 606c, 606h, and / or 606s) (e.g., the position of the minute and / or hour hands relative to the clock user interface and / or the position of the minute and / or hour hands relative to each other; the position the minute and / or hour hands point to and / or the position where the second hand blocks the light). In some embodiments, the number of time markers illuminated by the analog emitted light is based on the current time of day. Automatically displaying multiple regions of the clock user interface that block the analog light based on the position of the first user interface region enables the display of the user interface without requiring additional user input to configure the user interface (e.g., by indicating the regions that should be displayed for different positions of the first user interface region), thereby performing operations without further user input when a set of conditions has been met.

[0249] In some implementations, the first user interface area (e.g., 606b and / or 606h) (e.g., clock hands) has the same color as the background (e.g., 606o) of the clock user interface (e.g., 600) (e.g., both the watch hands and the clock background are black). In some implementations, the watch hands and the clock background appear identical unless illuminated by analog emitted light. Displaying a user interface area with the same color as the background of the clock user interface provides visual feedback about the time of day and helps the user quickly and easily check the current time of day, thus providing improved feedback to the user.

[0250] In some implementations, the second user interface area (e.g., 606b and / or 606h) (e.g., representing the clock hands) has the same color as the background (e.g., 606o) of the clock user interface (e.g., 600). Displaying a second user interface area in the same color as the background of the clock user interface provides visual feedback about the time of day and helps the user quickly and easily check the current time of day, thus providing improved feedback to the user.

[0251] In some embodiments, the second user interface area includes (e.g., is) a user interface element associated with an application (e.g., 606n) (e.g., a complication block), and the simulated emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) does not affect the visual appearance of the second user interface area. In some embodiments, a complication block refers to any clock face feature other than hours and minutes used to indicate time (e.g., clock hands or hour / minute indicators). In some embodiments, the complication block provides data obtained from an application. In some embodiments, the complication block includes a power indication that launches the corresponding application when selected. In some embodiments, the complication block is displayed at a fixed, predefined location on the display. In some embodiments, the complication block occupies a corresponding position (e.g., lower right, lower left, upper right, and / or upper left) in a specific area of ​​the clock face. In some embodiments, the simulated emitted light stops before reaching the second user interface area, and / or the simulated emitted light does not affect the visual appearance of the second user interface area (e.g., the simulated emitted light reaches the second user interface area but does not affect its visual appearance). Displaying user interface elements associated with the application, which are not affected by the visual appearance of the secondary user interface area, provides visual feedback about the application on the electronic device and helps users quickly and easily view information from the application on the user's device, thereby providing the user with improved feedback.

[0252] In some implementations, based on the current time being the first time, the first user interface area (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) has a first position (e.g., Figure 6B (e.g., 606c and / or 606h in the first position at the first time of day); and the first user interface area has a second position depending on whether the current time is a second time (e.g., Figure 6I (e.g., displaying the first user interface area in a second location at a second time of day). Displaying the first user interface area in a first location at a first time and in a second location at a second time provides visual feedback about the time of day and helps users quickly and easily view the current time of day, thus providing improved feedback to the user.

[0253] In some embodiments, simulated emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) is emitted from a first edge (e.g., a clockwise edge relative to the clock face) of a first user interface area (e.g., 606c and / or 606h), instead of a second edge (e.g., a counter-clockwise edge relative to the clock face). In some embodiments, the first and second edges are on opposite sides of the first user interface area. In some embodiments, simulated emitted light is emitted from the second edge (e.g., a counter-clockwise edge relative to the clock face) of the first user interface area, instead of the first edge (e.g., a clockwise edge relative to the clock face). Displaying simulated emitted light from the first edge of the first user interface area instead of the second edge enables the display of the user interface without requiring additional user input to configure the user interface (e.g., by indicating which part of the user interface is illuminated by the simulated emitted light), thereby performing operations when a set of conditions have been met without further user input.

[0254] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the first edge of the first user interface area (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) is curved. In some embodiments, the curved portion of the first edge of the first user interface area represents an endpoint of the first user interface area. In some embodiments, this portion of the first edge is the entire first edge of the first user interface area. In some embodiments, a portion of the second edge of the first user interface area is curved. In some embodiments, a portion of the first edge and a portion of the second edge of the first user interface area are curved. In some embodiments, a portion of the first edge of the second user interface area (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) is curved. In some embodiments, a portion of the second edge of the second user interface area is curved. In some embodiments, a portion of the first edge of the second user interface area and a portion of the second edge of the second user interface area are curved. Displaying a portion of the first edge of the first user interface area as curved provides visual feedback about the user interface and helps the user quickly and easily distinguish elements of the user interface, thereby providing improved feedback to the user.

[0255] In some implementations, the simulated emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) has an simulated height (e.g., appears to be emitted from a source) relative to the background (e.g., 606o) of the clock user interface (e.g., 606) (e.g., appears to be emitted from a source) and illuminates (e.g., projects light onto) the background of the clock user interface. Displaying the simulated emitted light at an simulated height relative to the background of the clock user interface to illuminate its background allows the user interface to be displayed without requiring additional user input to configure it (e.g., by instructing how the simulated emitted light should be dispersed on the background of the clock user interface), thereby performing operations when a set of conditions have been met without further user input.

[0256] In some implementations, the simulated emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) is based on a first simulated light source (e.g., 606q and / or 606r) and a second simulated light source (e.g., 606q and / or 606r). Displaying the simulated emitted light based on the first and second simulated light sources enables the display of a user interface without requiring the user to provide multiple inputs to configure the user interface (e.g., by instructing how the simulated emitted light should be dispersed based on different simulated light sources), thereby performing operations without further user input when a set of conditions has been met.

[0257] In some implementations, a first analog light source (e.g., 606q and / or 606r) simulating emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) has a first analog height relative to a background (e.g., 606o) of a clock user interface (e.g., 606) (e.g., the first analog light source is displaced from the background in a direction perpendicular to or substantially perpendicular to the defining background surface), and a second analog light source (e.g., 606q and / or 606r) simulating emitted light has a second analog height relative to the background of the clock user interface, different from the first analog height (e.g., the second analog light source is displaced from the background in a direction perpendicular to or substantially perpendicular to the defining background surface). Displaying the simulated emitted light with two different analog light sources having two different analog heights relative to the background of the clock user interface allows the user interface to be displayed without requiring additional user input to configure the user interface (e.g., by instructing how the simulated emitted light should be dispersed based on the different analog light sources), thereby performing operations without further user input when a set of conditions has been met.

[0258] In some embodiments, a first analog light source (e.g., 606q and / or 606r) simulating emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) includes (e.g., generates or emits) light of a first color, and a second analog light source (e.g., 606q and / or 606r) simulating emitted light includes (e.g., generates or emits) light of a second color different from the first color. In some embodiments, the first analog light source does not include light of the second color. In some embodiments, the second analog light source does not include light of the first color. In some embodiments, the first color and the second color are the same color. Displaying simulated emitted light using two different analog light sources with two different colors enables the display of a user interface without requiring the user to provide multiple inputs to configure the user interface (e.g., by indicating the dispersion of each color of the simulated emitted light), thereby performing operations without further user input when a set of conditions has been met.

[0259] In some embodiments, the first user interface area (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) includes one or more cutouts (e.g., 606z) (e.g., boundaries with acute angles, such as cutouts, vertices, and / or corner points in a clock hand). In some embodiments, the first user interface area includes boundaries with acute angles (e.g., cutouts, vertices, and / or corner points in a clock hand). In some embodiments, the cutouts result in acute angles in the simulated emitted light (e.g., light emitted in different directions). In some embodiments, the boundaries have radii of curvature and / or angles. In some embodiments, the angles are 45 degrees, 90 degrees, or 135 degrees. In some embodiments, the radius includes a gradual change in direction of the boundary or edge of the first user interface area. In some embodiments, the cutout includes a sharp change in direction at a certain angle. In some embodiments, the cutout is located at a first point on the first user interface area (e.g., one end of a watch hand). In some embodiments, the first point on the first user interface area is near the center of the clock user interface (e.g., a point around which the clock hand rotates or from which the clock hand extends). In some implementations, the first point on the first user interface is located near the edge of the clock user interface (e.g., the point where the clock hands end). In some implementations, the cut is at a second point on the first user interface area that differs from the first point on the first user interface area. In some implementations, there is a first cut at the first point and a second cut at the second point (e.g., the ends of the clock hands have acute angles). Displaying the first user interface area with the cut provides visual feedback about the user interface and helps the user quickly and easily distinguish elements of the user interface, thereby providing improved feedback to the user.

[0260] In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) detects a request to change the color of the analog emitted light (e.g., from a first color to a second color, from red and / or green to white and / or gray) (e.g., a tap, swipe, and / or press on a touch-sensitive surface). In some embodiments, after detecting a request to change the color of the analog emitted light, the computer system displays the analog emitted light in the first color (e.g., using an analog light source of the first color) based on determining that the request corresponds to a first color (e.g., red, green, white, and / or gray), and displays the analog light in the second color (e.g., using an analog light source of the second color) based on determining that the request corresponds to a second color different from the first color (e.g., red, green, white, and / or gray). In some embodiments, the request to change the color of the analog emitted light is provided in a settings user interface associated with the clock user interface. Changing the color of the analog emitted light according to determining that the request corresponds to a color allows the user to easily and intuitively edit the color of the analog emitted light, thereby providing improved control options.

[0261] In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) displays a clock user interface (e.g., 606) via a display generation component, displaying (e.g., concurrently with a first visual effect portion and / or a second visual effect portion) a third visual effect portion (e.g., 606a, 606d, 606i, 606f, and / or 606k) that includes simulated emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) indicating the location of a second user interface area (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) (e.g., light from the second clock hand). In some embodiments, the third visual effect portion is the second visual effect portion (e.g., 606a, 606d, 606i, 606f, and / or 606k). In some implementations, the third visual effect portion interacts (e.g., influences or alters) with the first visual effect portion (e.g., 606a, 606d, 606i, 606f, and / or 606k) and the second visual effect portion (e.g., the second emitted light combines with the first emitted light). In some implementations, the third visual effect portion does not interact with the first visual effect portion (e.g., when the simulated emitted lights are not in contact, because they are opposite each other and / or the second pointer divides the simulated emitted lights). The third visual effect portion, which displays simulated emitted lights indicating the location of a second user interface area, provides visual feedback about the time of day and helps the user quickly and easily view the current time of day, thus providing improved feedback to the user.

[0262] In some embodiments, the simulated emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) indicating the location of a first user interface area (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) includes (e.g., is) a first color, and the simulated emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) indicating the location of a second user interface area (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) includes (e.g., is) a second color different from the first color. In some embodiments, the simulated emitted light indicating the location of the first user interface area and the simulated emitted light indicating the location of the second user interface area include (e.g., is) the same color. In some embodiments, the second visual effect portion includes simulated emitted light of the same color as the simulated emitted light of the first visual effect portion. Displaying the first simulated emitted light in the first color and displaying the second simulated emitted light provide visual feedback that distinguishes different parts of the user interface and helps the user quickly and easily distinguish the parts of the user interface indicating different times of day, thereby providing the user with improved feedback.

[0263] In some embodiments, analog emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) indicating the location of a first user interface area (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) is emitted from the edge of the first user interface area (e.g., the hour hand) (e.g., the clockwise edge relative to the clock face), and analog emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) indicating the location of a second user interface area (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) is emitted from the edge of the second user interface area (e.g., the minute hand) (e.g., the counter-clockwise edge relative to the clock face), wherein the edge of the first user interface area is opposite the edge of the second user interface area relative to the clock user interface (e.g., the clockwise direction of the clock user interface). In some embodiments, the edge of the first user interface area faces clockwise and the edge of the second user interface area faces counter-clockwise. In some embodiments, the edge of the first user interface area faces counter-clockwise and the edge of the second user interface area faces clockwise. The simulated light emitting the position of the first user interface area is emitted from the edge of the first user interface area, and the simulated light emitting the position of the second user interface area is emitted from the edge of the second user interface area, wherein the edge of the first user interface area is opposite to the edge of the clock user interface and the edge of the second user interface area. This provides visual feedback that distinguishes different parts of the user interface, thereby providing the user with improved feedback.

[0264] In some implementations, the first user interface area (e.g., Figure 6B The edges of 606c and / or 606h in the model face the second user interface area (e.g., Figure 6BThe edges of the first user interface area (606c and / or 606h) (e.g., when the clockwise edge of the hour hand faces the counterclockwise edge of the minute hand (e.g., 10:10, 1:30, 6:45, and / or 9:30) and / or when the counterclockwise edge of the hour hand faces the clockwise edge of the minute hand (e.g., 1:50, 11:45, and / or 4:10)). Displaying the edges of the first user interface area facing the second user interface area provides visual feedback to distinguish different parts of the user interface and helps users quickly and easily differentiate the parts of the user interface indicating different times of day, thus providing improved feedback to the user.

[0265] In some implementations, the edges of the first user interface area (e.g., Figure 6H The 606c and / or 606h in the model name are located away from the edge of the second user interface area (e.g., Figure 6H The edges of the first user interface area, which are 606c and / or 606h (e.g., when the clockwise edge of the hour hand is opposite to the counterclockwise edge of the minute hand (e.g., 1:55, 10:45, and / or 3:10) and / or when the counterclockwise edge of the hour hand is opposite to the clockwise edge of the minute hand (e.g., 11:10, 2:30, 7:45, and / or 8:30)). Displaying the edges of the first user interface area that are opposite to the edges of the second user interface area provides visual feedback to distinguish different parts of the user interface and helps users quickly and easily differentiate the parts of the user interface indicating different times of day, thus providing improved feedback to the user.

[0266] In some implementations, the first user interface area (e.g., Figure 6H The location of the edge of 606c and / or 606h) and the second user interface area (e.g., Figure 6H The position of the second edge (606c and / or 606h) is based on the current time of day (e.g., whether the first edge of the first user interface area and the second edge of the second user interface area are opposite to each other or facing each other changes throughout the day (e.g., at 10:10, they face each other, and at 10:45, they are opposite each other)). In some implementations, depending on whether the current time of day is determined to be the first time of day, the edge of the first user interface area faces the edge of the second user interface area; and depending on whether the current time of day is determined to be the second time of day, different from the first time of day, the edge of the first user interface area faces away from the edge of the second user interface area. Displaying the position of the edges of the first user interface area and the second user interface area based on the current time of day provides visual feedback about the time of day and helps the user quickly and easily determine the current time of day, thus providing improved feedback to the user.

[0267] In some embodiments, a computer system (e.g., 600) displays analog emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) indicating the location of a first user interface area and analog emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) indicating the location of a third user interface area (e.g., a second hand, a minute hand), such that the analog emitted light indicating the location of the first user interface area and the analog emitted light indicating the location of the third user interface area are divided (e.g., separated from each other, blocked from each other, prevented from interacting, mixed, and / or combined) by a fourth user interface area (e.g., 606s) (e.g., representing a second hand), wherein the location and / or shape of the fourth user interface area indicates the current time of day. In some embodiments, the location of the fourth user interface area is based on the current time of day (e.g., Figure 6D 606s and Figure 6F The analog emitted light indicating the location of the first user interface area and the analog emitted light indicating the location of the third user interface area are changed (606s in the original text). The analog emitted light indicating the location of the first user interface area and the analog emitted light indicating the location of the third user interface area are divided by a fourth user interface area, wherein the location and / or shape of the fourth user interface area indicates the current time of day. This provides visual feedback on the time of day and helps the user to quickly and easily determine the current time of day, thereby providing the user with improved feedback.

[0268] In some implementations, the fourth user interface area (e.g., 606s) (e.g., the second hand) includes a first side (e.g., 606t) (e.g., the long side) and a second side (e.g., 606u) (e.g., the short side) that is shorter than the first side relative to a rotation point (e.g., 606w) on the fourth user interface area. (For example, the fourth user interface area is a line passing through a point on the clock user interface, and the fourth user interface area has a long side on one side of the point and a short side on the other side of the point.) Displaying a fourth user interface area with a first side and a second side shorter than the first side relative to a rotation point on the fourth user interface area provides visual feedback to distinguish different parts of the user interface and helps the user quickly and easily distinguish the parts of the user interface that indicate different times of day, thus providing the user with improved feedback.

[0269] In some implementations, a fourth user interface area (e.g., Figure 6DIn some embodiments, a fourth user interface region (606s) prevents the mixing of analog emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) indicating the location of a first user interface area (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) with analog emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) indicating the location of a third user interface area (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) (e.g., blocking and / or stopping interaction). In some embodiments, a fourth user interface region stops the interaction between the analog emitted light indicating the location of the first user interface area and the analog emitted light indicating the location of the third user interface area. In some embodiments, a fourth user interface region stops the interaction between the analog emitted light indicating the location of the first user interface area and other elements of the clock user interface (e.g., the first user interface area, the second user interface area, and / or the third user interface area). In some embodiments, a fourth user interface region stops the interaction between the analog emitted light indicating the location of the third user interface area and other elements of the clock user interface (e.g., the first user interface area and / or the second user interface area). Displaying a fourth user interface area prevents the analog light indicating the location of the first user interface area from mixing with the analog light indicating the location of the third user interface area. This provides visual feedback that distinguishes different parts of the user interface and helps users quickly and easily differentiate the parts of the user interface that indicate different times of day, thus providing improved feedback to the user.

[0270] In some embodiments, in response to determining that predetermined conditions are met (e.g., entering a low-power state, selecting to remove the second hand, and / or a specific amount of time has elapsed), a computer system (e.g., 600) displays analog emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) indicating the location of a first user interface area (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) and analog emitted light (e.g., 606b and / or 606g) indicating the location of a third user interface area (e.g., 606c and / or 606h), such that the analog emitted light indicating the location of the first user interface area is mixed with the analog emitted light indicating the location of the third user interface area (e.g., combined and / or interactive). In some embodiments, the mixing of the analog emitted light indicating the location of the first user interface area and the analog emitted light indicating the location of the third user interface area is based on the location of the first user interface area and the location of the third user interface area. In some embodiments, the mixing of the analog emitted light indicating the location of the first user interface area and the analog emitted light indicating the location of the third user interface area is based on the color of the analog emitted light indicating the location of the first user interface area and the color of the analog emitted light indicating the location of the third user interface area. In some embodiments, the mixture of analog emitted light indicating the location of a first user interface area and analog emitted light indicating the location of a third user interface area is based on a second user interface area (e.g., 606c, 606d, 606h, 606j, 606l, 606p) (e.g., obstructed by one or more elements of a clock user interface). In some embodiments, the analog emitted light indicating the location of the first user interface area and the analog emitted light indicating the location of the third user interface area are displayed in black and white. In some embodiments, the analog emitted light indicating the location of the first user interface area and the analog emitted light indicating the location of the third user interface area change color (e.g., from red / green to white) in response to determining that a predetermined condition is met. In some embodiments, the analog emitted light indicating the location of the first user interface area and the analog emitted light indicating the location of the third user interface area change brightness in response to determining that a predetermined condition is met. The display shows analog emitted light indicating the location of a first user interface area and analog emitted light indicating the location of a third user interface area, such that in response to determining that a predetermined condition is met, the analog emitted light indicating the location of the first user interface area is mixed with the analog emitted light indicating the location of the third user interface area. This provides visual feedback to distinguish different parts of the user interface under specific conditions and helps the user to quickly and easily distinguish the parts of the user interface indicating different times of day when the condition is met, thereby providing the user with improved feedback.

[0271] In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 600) displays (e.g., concurrently with a first visual effect portion and / or a second visual effect portion) a third analog emitted light (e.g., the light of a second hand), which indicates the position and / or size of the rotation point of one or more of the user interface areas (e.g., 606c, 606h, and / or 606s) (e.g., the hour hand, minute hand, and / or second hand). In some embodiments, the third analog emitted light is mixed (e.g., merged and / or interacted) with the analog emitted light indicating the position of the first user interface area and / or the analog emitted light indicating the position of the third user interface area (e.g., where the light from the second hand is merged with the light from the hour hand and the light from the minute hand). In some embodiments, the third analog emitted light is less bright than the analog emitted light indicating the position of the first user interface area and / or the analog emitted light indicating the position of the third user interface area. Displaying the position and / or size of the rotation point indicating a fourth user interface area provides visual feedback that distinguishes different parts of the user interface and helps the user quickly and easily distinguish the parts of the user interface indicating different times of day, thereby providing the user with improved feedback.

[0272] In some implementations, based on determining that the current time of day is the first time of day, the fourth user interface area (e.g., Figure 6F The fourth user interface area (606s) has a first position (e.g., the fourth user interface area is displayed in the first position at the first time of day); and based on the determination that the current time of day is a second time of day that is different from the first time of day, the fourth user interface area (e.g., Figure 6GThe fourth user interface region (606S) has a second position (e.g., a third user interface region is displayed in the second position at a second time of day), wherein the fourth user interface region overlaps the first visual effect portion less in the second position than in the first position (e.g., 606a, 606d, 606i, 606f and / or 606k) (e.g., the intersection of the fourth user interface region with the first visual effect portion results in less analog emission light indicating the position of the first user interface region (e.g., the analog emission light indicating the position of the first user interface region illuminates more background and / or the first visual effect portion is larger)). In some embodiments, the fourth user interface region overlaps the first visual effect portion more in the second position than in the first position (e.g., the intersection of the fourth user interface region and the first visual effect portion results in more simulated emitted light indicating the location of the first user interface region (e.g., the simulated emitted light indicating the location of the first user interface region illuminates less background and / or the first visual effect portion is smaller). In some embodiments, the fourth user interface region overlaps the second visual effect portion less in the second position than in the first position (e.g., the intersection of the fourth user interface region and the second visual effect portion results in less obstruction of simulated emitted light indicating the location of the third user interface region (e.g., the simulated emitted light indicating the location of the third user interface region illuminates more background and / or the second visual effect portion is smaller). The visual effect portion is larger. In some implementations, the fourth user interface area overlaps the second visual effect portion more in the second position than in the first position (e.g., the intersection of the fourth user interface area and the second visual effect portion causes more of the analog emitted light indicating the location of the third user interface area to be blocked (e.g., the analog emitted light indicating the location of the third user interface area illuminates less background and / or the second visual effect portion is smaller). Displaying the fourth user interface area in different positions at different times of the day, where the fourth user interface area overlaps the first visual effect portion less in the second position than in the first position, provides visual feedback about the time of day and helps the user quickly and easily determine the current time of day, thus providing improved feedback to the user.

[0273] In some embodiments, a first user interface area (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) has a first point (e.g., a rotation point near the first user interface area and / or near the center of the clock user interface) and a second point (e.g., a rotation point away from the first user interface area, away from the center of the clock user interface, and / or near the edge of the clock user interface), and wherein a fourth user interface area (e.g., 606s) blocks more light at the first point of the first user interface area than at the second point of the first user interface area (e.g., interacts with, obstructs, and / or stops at the first point of the first user interface area). In some embodiments, the first point is located at the bottom of the first user interface area (e.g., near the rotation point of the first user interface area and / or near the center of the clock user interface), and the second point is located at the top of the first user interface area (e.g., away from the rotation point of the first user interface area, away from the center of the clock user interface, and / or near the edge of the clock user interface). In some embodiments, the fourth user interface area blocks more light at the second point of the first user interface area and blocks less light at the first point of the first user interface area. In some embodiments, the second user area (e.g., 606c and / or 606h) has a first point and a second point, and the fourth user interface area blocks more light at the first point of the first user interface area and blocks less light at the second point of the first user interface area. In some embodiments, the first point is located at the bottom of the second user interface area (e.g., near the rotation point of the first user interface area and / or near the center of the clock user interface), and the second point is located at the top of the second user interface area (e.g., away from the rotation point of the first user interface area, away from the center of the clock user interface, and / or near the edge of the clock user interface). In some embodiments, the fourth user interface area blocks more light at the second point of the second user interface area and blocks less light at the first point of the second user interface area. Displaying that the fourth user interface area blocks more light at the first point of the first user interface area than at the second point of the first user interface area provides visual feedback to distinguish different parts of the user interface and helps the user quickly and easily distinguish the parts of the user interface indicating different times of day, thereby providing the user with improved feedback.

[0274] In some implementations, the fourth user interface area (e.g., 606s) includes (e.g., is) a third color different from the first and / or second colors. In some implementations, the fourth user interface area is the same color as the simulated emitted light that indicates the position and / or size of the rotation point of the third fourth user interface area (e.g., a second hand). Displaying the fourth user interface area in a third color different from the first and / or second colors provides visual feedback to distinguish different parts of the user interface and helps the user quickly and easily differentiate the parts of the user interface that indicate different times of day, thus providing improved feedback to the user.

[0275] It should be noted that the above description is in contrast to the process described in method 700 (e.g., Figure 7 The details of the above also apply in a similar manner to the methods described below. For example, methods 900, 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, and 1900 optionally include one or more characteristics of the various methods described above with reference to method 700.

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

[0280] The clock user interface 806 includes an astronomical object (e.g., Earth) 806a, a digital time indicator 806b, and optional user interface elements 806c. In response to predetermined events such as user input and / or changes in the operating mode of the computer system 800, the clock user interface 806 displays different portions, clips, and / or views of the astronomical object 806a (or other astronomical objects described below). Figure 8A In the clock user interface 806, the first portion of the astronomical object 806a is displayed. The astronomical object 806a partially overlaps with (for example, blurs) a portion of the time digital indicator 806b, thus creating a depth effect between the astronomical object 806a and other aspects of the clock user interface 806, including the time digital indicator 806b and optional user interface elements 806c.

[0281] Astronomical object 806a includes a representation of the Earth, including continents, oceans, and clouds. Specifically, astronomical object 806a includes clouds 806d, optionally displayed based on current weather data. Therefore, clouds 806d can be realistic and mimic the cloud patterns (e.g., cloud cover) of the current location of computer system 800 to form a more realistic view of the Earth. In some embodiments, the pattern of clouds 806d changes in response to detecting a change in the current weather at the current location of computer system 800. In addition to including clouds 806d, astronomical object 806a also includes an accurate representation of the shadows of clouds 806d displayed over the land and ocean of astronomical object 806a.

[0282] As discussed further below, in some embodiments, when a predetermined event is detected, a portion or view of the astronomical object 806a displayed in the clock user interface 806 changes, but each portion of the view of the astronomical object 806a includes the current position of the computer system 800. Therefore, the display... Figure 8A The portion of astronomical object 806a includes the location of computer system 800 at the current time (e.g., 10:09) on land or elsewhere. Additionally, the sun-covered portion and the sun-shielded portion of astronomical object 806a reflect the current time of the sun-covered portion of Earth. Therefore, in Figure 8A In the image, the current position of computer system 800 is included in part of astronomical object 806a and appears to be covered by sunlight because it is currently daytime at the current position of computer system 800.

[0283] Optional user interface element 806c is associated with a calendar application and includes the current day of the week and the current month date. In some embodiments, in response to detecting user input (e.g., tap, press, and / or swipe) on the optional user interface element 806c, computer system 800 displays the user interface of the associated calendar application. In some embodiments, the optional user interface element 806c (e.g., a complication block) is associated with an application other than the calendar application. In some embodiments, the complication block displayed as the optional user interface element 806c is selected by the user, allowing the user to quickly access information from the application associated with the user.

[0284] After detecting a predetermined event such as a tap, wrist movement, or other user input, the computer system 800 displays a clock user interface 806 with a second portion having an astronomical object 806a, as shown below. Figure 8B As shown. The second part of the astronomical object 806a differs from the digital time indicator 806b. Figure 8A The first part of the astronomical object 806a shown in the image partially overlaps, resulting in a different depth effect between the second part of the astronomical object 806a and the digital time indicator 806b.

[0285] Similar to Figure 8A The first part of the astronomical object 806a is shown in the image. The second part of the astronomical object 806a includes the current position of the computer system 800 and indicates that the current position of the computer system 800 is covered by sunlight because it is daytime at the current position of the computer system 800. Furthermore, the second part of the astronomical object 806a optionally includes realistic clouds 806d based on current weather data. However, because the second part of the astronomical object 806a includes the astronomical object 806a from different angles, the cloud cover in the second part of the astronomical object 806a appears different from the cloud cover in the first part of the astronomical object 806a.

[0286] After another predetermined event is detected, the computer system 800 displays a clock user interface 806 with a third part containing an astronomical object 806a, as shown below. Figure 8C As shown. The third part of astronomical object 806a shows the relationship between astronomical object 806a and... Figure 8A and Figure 8B Compared to different views or angles. Specifically, the third part of the astronomical object 806a is a view of the astronomical object 806a in which the entire astronomical object 806a is located in a field of view opposite to that which includes less than the entire astronomical object 806a. Similar to the first and second parts of the astronomical object 806a, the third part of the astronomical object 806a includes the current position of the computer system 800 and indicates that the current position of the computer system 800 is covered by sunlight, even if the view of the astronomical object 806a is different.

[0287] Furthermore, the third part of the astronomical object 806a is displayed behind the digital time indicator 806b and the optional user interface element 806c, thus resulting in... Figure 8A and Figure 8B The depth effect shown is different from the depth effect shown. However, compared to Figure 8A and Figure 8B Similarly, the clock user interface 806 optionally includes realistic clouds 806d based on the current weather pattern at the current location of the computer system 800. Therefore, the clouds 806d will change as the weather changes at the current location of the computer system 800.

[0288] In some implementations, portions of the astronomical object 806a displayed in the clock user interface 806 are predetermined. For example, the different portions of the astronomical object 806a may have a predetermined order, and thus, as the portions of the astronomical object 806a cycle, they can be displayed sequentially. Figure 8A , Figure 8B and Figure 8C The order shown is as indicated.

[0289] In some implementations, portions of the astronomical object 806a are selected randomly or pseudo-randomly. For example, the computer system 800 may obtain eight different portions (or views) of the astronomical object 806a and may randomly select one of the eight different portions when a predetermined event is detected. Alternatively, one of the eight different portions may be selected while ensuring that identical portions are not repeated to provide a pseudo-random selection of portions of the astronomical object 806a displayed in response to the detection of a predetermined event.

[0290] After another predetermined event is detected (e.g., the same predetermined event as described above or a different predetermined event), the computer system 800 displays a clock user interface 806 with a fourth portion having an astronomical object 806a, as shown below. Figure 8D As shown. The fourth part of astronomical object 806a shows the relationship between astronomical object 806a and... Figure 8A , Figure 8B and Figure 8C Compared to different views or angles, similar to other parts of the astronomical object 806a, the fourth part of the astronomical object 806a includes the current position of the computer system 800 and indicates the current position of the computer system 800 in sunlight, even if the view of the astronomical object 806a is different.

[0291] Furthermore, the fourth portion of the astronomical object 806a is displayed below (but not overlapping with) the digital time indicator 806b and the optional user interface element 806c, resulting in the clock user interface 806 being displayed, but without any depth effect between the astronomical object 806a, the digital time indicator 806b, and the optional user interface element 806c. Therefore, the spatial relationship between the astronomical object 806a, the digital time indicator 806b, and the optional user interface element 806c displayed on the computer system 800 is based on the view of the currently displayed astronomical object 806a.

[0292] In addition, like the other parts of the astronomical object 806a, the fourth part of the astronomical object 806a optionally includes realistic clouds 806d based on the current weather pattern at the current location of the computer system 800.

[0293] In the display as shown Figure 8D When the clock user interface 806 is displayed, the computer system 800 detects user input 808 through the rotatable input mechanism 804 (which is optionally also pressable). After detecting user input 808 through the rotatable input mechanism 804, the computer system 800 displays the clock user interface 806, which includes a third part of the astronomical object 806a, as shown. Figure 8EAs shown. The user input 808 of the rotatable input mechanism 804 allows the computer system 800 to access a mode in which the astronomical object 806a can be displayed at a time other than the current time (e.g., a past or future time). Therefore, in response to detecting the user input 808, the computer system 800 displays a third portion of the astronomical object 806a to provide a complete view of the current time prior to the astronomical object 806a being displayed at different times.

[0294] After (for example, in response to) detecting a further clockwise rotation of the rotatable input mechanism 804, the computer system 800 displays a clock user interface 806 including a view of the astronomical object 806a three hours prior to the current time, such as... Figure 8F As shown. The computer system 800 changes the time by a quantity and / or direction (e.g., to the past or future) based on the amount and / or direction of user input. Therefore, user input 808 rotates the rotatable input mechanism 804 by a quantity and in a direction that results in the clock user interface 806 being displayed for the next 3 hours. The clock user interface 806 updates the astronomical object 806a to reflect its appearance at 1:09 PM, while maintaining a view of the astronomical object 806a including the current position of the computer system 800.

[0295] In addition to updating the appearance of the astronomical object 806a, the computer system 800 stops displaying the digital time indicator 806b and optional user interface element 806c, and displays the updated time 806h and offset 806i, both of which indicate that the clock user interface 806 is displaying the Earth for the next three hours.

[0296] Updating the astronomical object 806a includes displaying the astronomical object 806a with updated clouds 806d. The updated clouds 806d are determined based on a predicted weather pattern in the current location, including the computer system 800. When user input 808 is detected, the astronomical object 806a is updated incrementally and the clouds 806d are updated accordingly. Thus, as the rotatable input mechanism 804 rotates, the clouds 806d appear to move as if they were predicted to move over the next three hours. Similarly, the amount or area of ​​the astronomical object 806a covered by sunlight is updated to indicate that the Earth rotates over time, and therefore different parts of the Earth are covered by sunlight at different times of the day.

[0297] In some implementations, the computer system 800 stops displaying cloud 806d in the clock user interface 806, instead of displaying updated cloud 806d. In some implementations, the computer system 800 updates astronomical objects 806a to include general cloud cover that does not indicate the current or future weather of the computer system 800's current location, instead of displaying or attempting to display realistic clouds based on future weather information.

[0298] In some implementations, the difference between the current time and the time displayed when updating the astronomical object 806a is proportional to the rotation of the user input 808. Therefore, to increase the time by 3 hours from the current time, such as... Figure 8F As shown, a certain amount of rotation must be applied via user input 808, and in order to increase the time by 6 hours from the current time, the rotation must be doubled via user input 808.

[0299] After detecting a further clockwise rotation of the rotatable input mechanism 804, the computer system 800 displays a clock user interface 806 including a view of the astronomical object 806a six hours prior to the current time, as shown. Figure 8G As shown above. Figure 8F As discussed, astronomical object 806a is updated to reflect the time of day as displayed (e.g., 4:09 PM), and therefore the amount of sunlight covering cloud 806d and astronomical object 806a is updated to reflect the conditions expected to occur at 4:09 PM. Furthermore, the updated time 806h and offset 806i are also updated to reflect the time shown as 4:09 PM.

[0300] After (for example, in response to) detecting a counterclockwise rotation of the rotatable input mechanism 804, the computer system 800 displays a clock user interface 806 including a view of the astronomical object 806a two hours after the current time, such as... Figure 8H As shown above. Figure 8F The previously displayed time (e.g., 4:09 PM) is discussed in relation to... Figure 8H The amount of time variation between the displayed time (e.g., 8:09 AM) is proportional to the amount of rotation applied by the user input 808. Additionally, the astronomical object 806a is updated to reflect the time of day displayed. However, unlike the case where the astronomical object 806a is updated to display a future time and uses predicted cloud and weather patterns to display cloud 806d, when displaying a past time, the cloud and weather patterns of that earlier time are used to display cloud 806d. Similarly, the amount of sunlight (or cloud cover) at the current location at the displayed time is also used by the computer system 800 to update the astronomical object 806a. Furthermore, the updated time 806h and offset 806i are updated to reflect the time shown as 8:09 AM.

[0301] In some implementations, after a predetermined event is detected, the computer system 800 displays a clock user interface 806 including a first portion of an astronomical object 806f (e.g., the Moon), a digital time indicator 806b, optional user interface elements 806c, and a star map 806j, as shown below. Figure 8I As shown. In some embodiments, the astronomical object 806f is selected from a list of possible astronomical objects. In some embodiments, the predetermined event is user input, such as a tap gesture, press, swipe, wrist lift, and / or rotation of the rotatable input mechanism 804.

[0302] In some implementations, the astronomical object 806f (or another astronomical object discussed further below) is displayed by the user on the screen. Figure 8T The selection is made in the selection interface 810. In some embodiments, the user selects the astronomical object to be displayed by tapping, pressing, swiping, and / or otherwise interacting with a smaller version of the astronomical object displayed in the selection interface 810. For example, when a tap gesture is detected on a smaller representation of astronomical object 806f, the computer system 800 selects astronomical object 806f. Therefore, predetermined events may include detecting the selection of a different astronomical object to be displayed in the clock user interface 806.

[0303] In some embodiments, the astronomical object 806f and / or the portion of the astronomical object 806f that is displayed is selected randomly or pseudo-randomly. For example, the computer system 800 may randomly select to display the Moon, select a portion of the Moon from available portions of the Moon, and update the clock user interface 806 with the selected portion in response to the detection of a predetermined event. In some embodiments, the selection of the astronomical object may be limited to a specific (e.g., one) astronomical object, and thus the computer system 800 selects a portion of the selected astronomical object. In some embodiments, the astronomical object may be selected from a set of two or more available astronomical objects including the Earth, the Moon, and a solar system diagram, as discussed further below.

[0304] The first portion of the astronomical object 806f is covered by a portion of the digital time indicator 806b, thus creating a depth effect between the astronomical object 806f and the digital time indicator 806b in the clock user interface 806. The astronomical object 806f also includes a realistic view of the moon based on its current phase and its position relative to the Earth. Therefore, the shadow displayed as part of the astronomical object 806f is based on the current phase of the moon.

[0305] Star map 806j optionally includes a realistic representation of the night sky as seen from the current position of computer system 800. Therefore, star map 806j will change as the position of computer system 800 changes and will be updated to reflect the current position.

[0306] After (e.g., in response to) detecting a predetermined event such as user input (e.g., the same predetermined event as described above or a different predetermined event), the computer system 800 displays a clock user interface 806 including a second portion of the astronomical object 806f, as shown below. Figure 8J As shown. The second part of the astronomical object 806f covers a different part of the digital time indicator 806b, thus forming a... Figure 8I The depth effects displayed are different. However, like the first part 806f of the astronomical object, the second part 806f of the astronomical object is based on the current lunar phase and therefore includes a realistic representation of the moon. In some embodiments, the computer system 800 displays the current Gregorian calendar date 806l and the current lunar phase 806m.

[0307] After (for example, in response to) detecting user input 808 from the rotatable input mechanism 804, the computer system 800 displays a clock user interface 806 including a third portion of an astronomical object 806f, as shown below. Figure 8K As shown. A user input 808 via a rotatable input mechanism 804 enables the computer system 800 to access a mode in which the astronomical object 806f can be displayed at times other than the current time (e.g., past and / or future times). When user input 808 is detected, the computer system 800 displays a third portion of the astronomical object 806f to provide a field of view encompassing the entire astronomical object 806f at the current time prior to its display at different times.

[0308] exist Figure 8K In this system, computer system 800 displays the current lunar date 806k, the current moon phase 806m, and the current solar date 806l to demonstrate the relationship between the lunar date, solar date, and current moon phase. Similar to the first and second parts of astronomical object 806f, the third part of astronomical object 806f is based on the current moon phase and therefore includes a realistic representation of the parts of astronomical object 806f that are not covered by sunlight.

[0309] exist Figure 8K In, with Figure 8J In contrast, computer system 800 displays a different representation of star map 806j. Specifically, when viewing a field of view including the entire Moon from the current position of computer system 800, star map 806j is updated to reflect the view of the star map. Therefore, star map 806j is updated to reflect the currently displayed portion of astronomical object 806f, while still using the current position of computer system 800 as a reference point.

[0310] After (for example, in response to) detecting user input 808 of rotating the rotatable input mechanism 804 clockwise, the computer system 800 updates the clock user interface 806 to display astronomical objects 806f in proportion to the amount of rotation provided by the user input 808 for several future days, such as Figure 8L As shown. Therefore, the computer system 800 updates the clock user interface 806 to display the updated Gregorian and lunar dates for the next three days from today. The computer system 800 also updates the clock user interface 806 to include an astronomical object 806f, as it will appear in the next three days. The astronomical object 806f is displayed along with the crescent moon phase corresponding to the selected date. Figure 8L In the middle, the computer system 800 displays the lunar phase 806m, which includes the lunar phase for the next three days.

[0311] After (for example, in response to) detecting user input 808 of a further clockwise rotation of the rotatable input mechanism 804, the computer system 800 updates the clock user interface 806 to display astronomical objects 806f in proportion to the amount of rotation provided by the user input 808 for several future days, such as... Figure 8M As shown. Therefore, the computer system 800 updates the clock user interface 806 to display the updated Gregorian and lunar dates for the next six days from today. The computer system 800 also updates the clock user interface 806 to include the astronomical object 806f, as it will appear in the next six days. The astronomical object 806f is displayed along with the waxing moon phase corresponding to the selected date. The moon phase 806m is further updated to "Waxing Moon," which is the moon phase that will appear in the next six days from today.

[0312] After (for example, in response to) detecting that user input 808 has rotated the rotatable input mechanism 804 counterclockwise, computer system 800 updates clock user interface 806 to display astronomical objects 806f over the past few days in proportion to the amount of rotation provided by user input 808, such as... Figure 8N As shown. Therefore, the computer system 800 updates the clock user interface 806 to display the updated Gregorian and lunar dates for the four days prior to the current day. The computer system 800 also updates the clock user interface 806 to include the astronomical object 806f, as it appeared in the past four days. The astronomical object 806f is displayed along with the waning crescent moon phase corresponding to the selected date. The moon phase 806m is further updated to "waning crescent," which is the moon phase that appeared four days prior to the current day.

[0313] After (e.g., in response to) the detection of a predetermined event (e.g., the same predetermined event as described above or a different predetermined event), the computer system 800 displays a clock user interface 806 including an astronomical object 806g, as shown below. Figure 8OAs shown. Astronomical object 806g is a representation of the solar system (e.g., a solar system diagram), and more specifically, a representation of a part of the solar system that includes Earth. Figure 8O The first part of the astronomical object 806g shown includes Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. As discussed further below, different views and / or portions of the solar system can be shown when the astronomical object 806g is selected and / or chosen for display in the clock user interface 806. The clock user interface includes a digital time indicator 806b displayed above (e.g., on top of) the astronomical object 806g and optional user interface elements 806c, thereby creating a depth effect between the digital time indicator 806b, the optional user interface elements 806, and the astronomical object 806g.

[0314] After (for example, in response to) the detection of a predetermined event (e.g., the same predetermined event as described above or a different predetermined event), the computer system 800 displays a second portion or view of the astronomical object 806g, such as Figure 8P As shown. The second part of astronomical object 806g shows a different group of planets than those shown in the first part of astronomical object 806g, including Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and the asteroid belt. Therefore, after a predetermined event, a different group of planets than the solar system is displayed in the clock user interface 806.

[0315] After (for example, in response to) detecting user input 808 from the rotatable input mechanism 804, the computer system 800 displays a clock user interface 806 comprising a third part including an astronomical object 806g, as shown. Figure 8Q As shown. The user input 808 of the rotatable input mechanism 804 enables the computer system 800 to enter a mode in which the astronomical object 806g can be displayed at times other than the current time (e.g., past and / or future times). Therefore, in response to detecting the user input 808, the computer system 800 displays a third portion of the astronomical object 806g to provide a field of view including the entire astronomical object 806g before the current time is displayed at different times.

[0316] The third section of Astronomical Object 806g includes a complete view of the solar system, including all eight planets and the Sun, arranged as they would appear in a solar system diagram or other representation of the solar system. In some embodiments, the third section of Astronomical Object 806g reflects the current arrangement of the solar system on the current date, such that the planets of Astronomical Object 806g are arranged in their orbits around the Sun at the current date.

[0317] After (for example, in response to) detecting user input 808 of a further clockwise rotation of the rotatable input mechanism 804, the computer system 800 updates the clock user interface 806 to display astronomical objects 806g in proportion to the amount of rotation provided by the user input 808 for several future months, such as... Figure 8R As shown. Therefore, the computer system 800 updates the positions of the planets in the astronomical object 806g to relate them to the selected October. Furthermore, the clock user interface 806 displays the offset 806i between the current date and the displayed date.

[0318] After (for example, in response to) detecting that user input 808 has rotated the rotatable input mechanism 804 counterclockwise, computer system 800 updates clock user interface 806 to display astronomical objects 806g in proportion to the amount of rotation provided by user input 808 over the past few days, such as Figure 8S As shown. Therefore, the computer system 800 updates the positions of the planets in the astronomical object 806g to relate them to the selected December. Furthermore, the clock user interface 806 displays the offset 806i between the current date and the displayed date.

[0319] As mentioned above, in some implementations, the astronomical objects displayed are selected by the user. Figure 8T This example illustrates a user interface where the user can select which astronomical objects to display. Figure 8T In the computer system 800, a selection interface 810 is displayed and user input 812 indicating the selection of astronomical object 806g is detected. In response to the detection of user input 812 indicating the selection of astronomical object 806g, the computer system displays a clock user interface 806 including a view or portion of astronomical object 806g.

[0320] In some implementations, the astronomical object (e.g., astronomical object 806a, astronomical object 806f, and / or astronomical object 806g) may change after a predetermined event is detected. For example, when displaying such... Figure 8A When the first view of the astronomical object 806a shown is displayed, the computer system 800 detects predetermined conditions and displays as follows: Figure 8J The second view of the astronomical object 806f is shown. In some embodiments, whether the astronomical object changes in response to the detection of a predetermined event is based on the selection of a setting. Therefore, when the setting to change the astronomical object in response to the detection of a predetermined event is selected, the astronomical object can be changed as described above. Conversely, when the setting to change the astronomical object in response to the detection of a predetermined event is not selected, a different view of the currently selected astronomical object is displayed, instead of a different astronomical object. For example, when the setting to change the astronomical object in response to the detection of a predetermined event is not selected, the computer system 800 will display a different view than the one shown above. Figure 8AThe first view of the astronomical object 806a shown is transformed into a view as follows: Figure 8D Another view of the astronomical object 806a shown, such as the fourth view of the astronomical object 806a.

[0321] Figure 9 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for using a computer system (e.g., 800) to display the current time and simultaneously display astronomical objects, according to some embodiments. Method 900 is performed at a computer system 800 (e.g., a smartwatch, wearable electronic device, smartphone, desktop computer, laptop, or tablet) communicating with display generating components (e.g., 802) (e.g., a display controller and / or a touch-sensitive display system). In some embodiments, the computer system communicates with one or more input devices (e.g., buttons, rotatable input mechanisms, speakers, cameras, motion detectors (e.g., accelerometers and / or gyroscopes) and / or touch-sensitive surfaces). In some embodiments, the rotatable input mechanism is located on a surface of the computer system perpendicular to the surface of the display generating component. In some embodiments, the rotatable mechanism is located to the right or left of the display generating component (e.g., the display generating component is on the front side of the computer system, while the rotatable input mechanism is on the right or left side of the computer system). In some embodiments, the rotatable mechanism rotates clockwise and counterclockwise. In some embodiments, the rotatable mechanism is capable of rotating about an axis perpendicular to a direction orthogonal to the surface of the display generating component (e.g., the movement of the rotatable mechanism is in a plane not parallel to the surface of the display generating component). Some operations in method 900 are optionally combined, some operations are optionally changed in order, and some operations are optionally omitted.

[0322] As described below, Method 900 provides an intuitive way to display the current time when displaying astronomical objects. This method reduces the cognitive burden on users when checking the current time while displaying astronomical objects, thus creating a more efficient human-computer interface. For battery-powered computing devices, it enables users to check the current time more quickly and efficiently while displaying astronomical objects, saving power and increasing the time interval between battery charging.

[0323] In method 900, a computer system (e.g., 800) displays (902) a clock user interface (e.g., 806) (e.g., a dial user interface, a user interface including time indications (e.g., analog and / or digital time indications) (e.g., 806b)) via a display generation component (e.g., 802), including concurrently displaying (e.g., in the user interface and / or concurrently with the time indications): a first portion (904) of astronomical objects (e.g., 806a, 806f, or 806g) (e.g., a first portion of a representation or a first portion of an image) of Earth, Moon, Sun, planets, asteroids, stars, and / or a solar system diagram (e.g., 806a, 806f, or 806g); and optional user interface elements (906) (e.g., 806c) (e.g., a complex function block). In some embodiments, the clock user interface is displayed on a wearable electronic device. In some embodiments, the clock user interface is displayed on a smartphone. In some embodiments, the clock user interface is displayed on a tablet computer. In some embodiments, the first part of displaying an astronomical object includes displaying a first view of the astronomical object, visual clippings, and / or perspective (e.g., a view of the astronomical object in a first orientation). In some embodiments, the user interface object is associated with an application. In some embodiments, a complication block refers to any clock face feature other than hours and minutes used to indicate time (e.g., clock hands or hour / minute indicators). In some embodiments, a complication block provides data obtained from an application. In some embodiments, a complication block includes a power indicator that launches the corresponding application when selected. In some embodiments, a complication block is displayed at a fixed, predefined location on the display.

[0324] The computer system (e.g., 800) detects the occurrence of a predetermined event (e.g., a set of one or more inputs, a raise or rotate gesture, a raise or rotate gesture following a device in a low-power display state (e.g., due to a request to switch the device to a low-power display state and / or the passage of a corresponding period of time without receiving user input) (e.g., 808), a set of one or more touch gestures (e.g., on a touch-sensitive surface), a voice command, a button press, and / or a rotation of a rotatable input mechanism (e.g., 804) (e.g., 808)) (908). In response to the detection of the occurrence of the predetermined event (910) (or optionally thereafter), the computer system displays a clock user interface (e.g., 806) via a display generation component (e.g., 802). The clock display user interface includes concurrently displayed (e.g., in the user interface and / or concurrently with the time indication): a second portion of an astronomical object (912) (e.g., 806a, 806f, or 806g) (and optionally not the first portion of the astronomical object), which differs from the first portion of the astronomical object (e.g., different crop, different angle, different view, different perspective of the same position on the astronomical object, different position of the astronomical object on the display or relative to the time and / or date indication, relative to an optional user interface element, e.g., 806c); and an optional user interface element (914). In some embodiments, displaying the second portion of the astronomical object includes displaying a second view of the astronomical object, visual clippings, and / or perspective (e.g., a view of the astronomical object in a second orientation). Displaying the second portion of the astronomical object in response to detecting the occurrence of a predetermined event provides the user with a visual indication that the predetermined event has occurred and provides a change in the user interface without requiring the user to manually edit the user interface (e.g., without requiring the user to navigate to the edit user interface), thereby providing improved visual feedback and reducing the amount of input required to perform an operation.

[0325] In some embodiments, the first and / or second portions of an astronomical object (e.g., 806a, 806f, or 806g) are predetermined (e.g., showing the same side of the Moon and / or the same view of the solar system). In some embodiments, the first and / or second portions of the astronomical object are based on the current position of a computer system (e.g., 800) (e.g., the orientation of the Earth is based on the location of the computer system). In some embodiments, the clock user interface (e.g., 806) includes an indication of the current time (e.g., before and / or after a predetermined event is detected). In some embodiments, the indication of the current time is a digital clock representing the current time. In some embodiments, the first and / or second portions of the astronomical object are selected from a set of portions (e.g., one of eight different crops). In some embodiments, the first and / or second portions of the astronomical object are pseudo-randomly selected (e.g., these portions will not repeat but would not have been intentionally selected otherwise). In some embodiments, optional user interface elements (e.g., 806c) are complex function blocks. In some embodiments, in response to user input (e.g., 808) (e.g., via an edit mode for a clock user interface), complex function blocks are removed. In some embodiments, the astronomical object has a depth effect relative to optional user interface elements. In some embodiments, the astronomical object is displayed behind optional user interface elements. In some embodiments, the astronomical object is displayed on top of optional user interface elements. In some embodiments, the astronomical object partially overlaps with optional user interface elements. In some embodiments, the optional user interface elements partially overlap with the astronomical object. In some embodiments, a first portion of the astronomical object includes a second portion of the astronomical object. In some embodiments, the first portion of the astronomical object includes a portion of the second portion of the astronomical object (e.g., the first and second portions share a portion). In some embodiments, the second portion of the astronomical object includes the first portion of the astronomical object. In some embodiments, the display of optional user interface elements is maintained when the second portion of the astronomical object is displayed (e.g., when changing from displaying the first portion of the astronomical object to displaying the second portion of the astronomical object). In some embodiments, the display of a time indicator is maintained when the second portion of the astronomical object is displayed (e.g., when changing from displaying the first portion of the astronomical object to displaying the second portion of the astronomical object).

[0326] In some embodiments, the appearance of an astronomical object (e.g., 806a, 806f, or 806g) indicates the current time and / or date (e.g., indicated by 806b and / or 806c). The appearance of an astronomical object indicating the current time and / or date provides the user with an accurate representation of the astronomical object and an indication of the current time and / or date (e.g., in addition to the traditional digital or analog representation of time and / or date), which provides improved visual feedback. In some embodiments, the appearance of an astronomical object indicates the current time by being displayed as if the astronomical object would appear at the current time of day (e.g., after sunset, at the location of the computer system (e.g., 800) on Earth, the computer system's location is shown in shadow, and during the day, at the location of the computer system on Earth, the computer system's location is shown in light). In some embodiments, the appearance of Earth indicates the current time of day by showing the current location of a terminator (e.g., a line separating day and night). In some embodiments, when the sun shines on cities on Earth, the lights of those cities are displayed. In some embodiments, the solar system diagram indicates the current time and / or date by showing the current position of the planets relative to the Sun as they will appear at the current time and / or date. In some embodiments, the appearance of the Moon indicates the day by showing it along with the current lunar phase. In some embodiments, the appearance of stars indicates the current time and / or date by showing them as they will be seen relative to the current position of Earth.

[0327] In some implementations, the astronomical object is the Earth (e.g., 806a), the Moon (e.g., 806f) (e.g., the Moon of the Earth), or a solar system diagram (e.g., 806g) (e.g., a representation of the solar system).

[0328] In some implementations, a first portion of the astronomical object is a part of a first astronomical object (e.g., 806a, 806f, or 806g) within a set of astronomical objects, and a second portion of the astronomical object is a part of a second astronomical object (e.g., 806a, 806f, or 806g) different from the first astronomical object within a set of astronomical objects. Displaying different astronomical objects in response to the detection of a predetermined event provides the user with a visual indication that the predetermined event has occurred and provides changes in the user interface without requiring the user to manually edit the user interface (e.g., without requiring the user to navigate to an editable user interface), thereby providing improved visual feedback and reducing the amount of input required to perform actions. In some implementations, the user may select which Earth, Moon, or solar system map to display randomly in response to the detection of a predetermined event.

[0329] In some implementations, the display includes astronomical objects at a first zoom level (e.g., such as...) via a display generation component (e.g., 802). Figure 8A, Figure 8B or Figure 8D As shown in the figure, 806a, such as Figure 8I or Figure 8J The 806f shown is as follows: Figure 8O or Figure 8P When the clock user interface (e.g., 806g) shown in Figure 806 is displayed (e.g., when displaying the first or second part of an astronomical object), the computer system (e.g., 800) detects a first user input (e.g., 808) (e.g., rotation of a rotatable input mechanism, tap gesture, and / or swipe gesture). In response to the detection of the first user input, the computer system, via a display generation component (e.g., 802), displays the clock at a second zoom level different from the first zoom level (e.g., as shown in Figure 806g). Figure 8E As shown in 806a, such as Figure 8K As shown in the figure, 806f, such as Figure 8Q As shown in 806g), an astronomical object is displayed, and the astronomical object appears at the current time (e.g., displaying a predetermined amount of the astronomical object and / or the entire astronomical object); in some embodiments, displaying the first amount of the astronomical object includes zooming out to display the entire astronomical object as displayed when the first user input is detected. While displaying the astronomical object at a second zoom level via the display generation component, the computer system detects a second user input (e.g., 808) (e.g., rotation of the rotatable input mechanism (e.g., 804), a tap gesture, a swipe gesture, a continuation of the first user input, and / or a second portion of the first user input, such as a continuation or further rotation of the rotatable input mechanism; in some embodiments, the second user input is a continuation of the first user input (e.g., an additional rotation of the rotatable input mechanism)). In response to detecting a second user input, the computer system displays an indication of a corresponding time and / or date other than the current time and / or date (e.g., 806h) via a display generation component (e.g., the non-current time is a future or past time; in some embodiments, the user input is rotating a rotatable input mechanism, and the direction of the user input turning the crown determines whether a future or past date is displayed); in some embodiments, the computer system displays an offset from the current time (e.g., 806i) (e.g., +3 hours or -2 hours; e.g., +5 days or -6 days; e.g., +7 years; e.g., -10 years) in place of or concurrently with an indication of a non-current time; and displays astronomical objects at a second zoom level via the display generation component, and the astronomical objects appear at the corresponding time and / or date (e.g., as shown in the image). Figure 8F , Figure 8G Or 806a as shown in 8H; such as Figure 8K , Figure 8L , Figure 8M Or 806f as shown in 8N; such as Figure 8R(As shown in 806g) (e.g., an astronomical object is displayed as if it will appear on a future / past date and / or time). Responding to the detection of a first user input, displaying the astronomical object at a second zoom level and having it appear at the current time indicates that the user interface is in a state where the user can interact with and / or edit the user interface via further input, demonstrating improved visual feedback. Responding to a second input, displaying the corresponding time and / or date in addition to the current time and / or date, along with an indication of the astronomical object, and having it appear at the corresponding time and / or date, provides the user with an efficient way to view additional information related to the astronomical object and reduces the amount of input required to access information, thereby providing improved visual feedback and reducing the amount of input required to perform an action.

[0330] In some embodiments, the Earth (e.g., 806a) is displayed along with a terminator in the location as if the terminator will appear on a future / past date and / or time, and stars are displayed as if the stars will appear in their positions and orientations relative to the Earth on a future / past date and / or time. In some embodiments, the Moon (e.g., 806f) is displayed with a lunar phase (e.g., 806m) corresponding to a past / future date. In some embodiments, a representation of the solar system (e.g., 806g) is displayed along with the planets in their positions on a past / future date. In some embodiments, a computer system (e.g., 800) displays a zoomed-out view of an object at the current time in response to the detection of a tap or rotation input, and then displays the zoomed-out view of the object simultaneously in response to rotation of a rotatable input mechanism (e.g., within a predetermined amount of time after the first user input (e.g., 808), displays times and / or dates other than the current time and / or date, and changes the appearance of astronomical objects to reflect non-current times; in some embodiments, the detection of input above a threshold changes the scaling of astronomical objects and displays the astronomical objects as they will appear on a future or past date / time (e.g., depending on the direction and / or magnitude of the input).

[0331] In some implementations, in response to the detection of a first user input (e.g., 808) (or a second user input), a computer system (e.g., 800) displays, via a display generation component (e.g., 802), an indication of a calendar date in a first calendar system that divides the year into a first set of subdivisions (e.g., 806l) (e.g., a date according to the Gregorian calendar) and an indication of a calendar date in a second calendar system that divides the year into a second set of subdivisions different from the first set of subdivisions (e.g., 806k) (e.g., a date according to the lunar calendar; the lunar date corresponds to the same date as the displayed Gregorian date). Displaying the calendar date indication in the first calendar system that divides the year into the first set of subdivisions and in the second calendar system that divides the year into a second set of subdivisions different from the first set of subdivisions in response to the detection of the first input provides the user with an efficient way to view additional information related to the astronomical object and reduces the amount of input required to access the information, thereby providing improved visual feedback and reducing the amount of input required to perform operations.

[0332] In some embodiments, the calendar date of the first calendar system corresponds to the calendar date of the second calendar system. In some embodiments, the indication of the solar calendar date and the lunar calendar date are displayed based on the determination that the astronomical object is the moon. In some embodiments, the solar calendar date and the lunar calendar date correspond to the current date. In some embodiments, in response to the detection of a second user input (e.g., 808), the solar calendar date and the lunar calendar date correspond to a corresponding time and / or date other than the current time and / or date. In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 800) changes the displayed indication of the solar calendar date and the lunar calendar date when it detects user input (e.g., the device updates the displayed indication of the solar calendar date and the lunar calendar date when the device detects rotation of the rotatable input mechanism). In some embodiments, rotation of the rotatable input mechanism in a first direction moves the displayed date forward in time. In some embodiments, rotation of the rotatable input mechanism in a second direction moves the displayed date backward in time. In some embodiments, the user input is rotation of the rotatable input mechanism, and the direction of rotation determines whether a future date or a past date is being displayed. In some implementations, the computer system displays an offset (e.g., +3 hours or -2 hours) from the current time (e.g., 806i), instead of an indication of a non-current time or displays an indication of a non-current time concurrently.

[0333] In some implementations, in response to the detection of a first user input (e.g., 808) (or a second user input), a computer system (e.g., 800) displays (e.g., concurrently with an indication of a Gregorian calendar date and / or a lunar calendar date) a representation of the moon phase (e.g., 806m) via a display generation component (e.g., 802), wherein the moon phase corresponds to an indication of the current date (e.g., 806c or 806l) or an indication of a corresponding time and / or date other than the current time and / or date (e.g., 806h) (e.g., displaying the moon phase aligned with the displayed date). Displaying a representation of the moon phase in response to the detection of the first input provides the user with an efficient way to view additional information related to astronomical objects and reduces the amount of input required to access information, thereby providing improved visual feedback and reducing the amount of input required to perform operations.

[0334] In some embodiments, the lunar phase is displayed based on the determination that the astronomical object is the Moon. In some embodiments, the lunar phase corresponds to the displayed Gregorian and lunar dates. In some embodiments, in response to the detection of a second user input (e.g., 808), the lunar phase corresponds to a non-current date (e.g., the displayed Gregorian and lunar dates). In some embodiments, the computer system (e.g., 800) changes the displayed lunar phase representation when it detects user input (e.g., the device updates the displayed lunar phase representation when it detects rotation of the rotatable input mechanism). In some embodiments, rotation of the rotatable input mechanism in a first direction shifts the displayed date forward in time. In some embodiments, rotation of the rotatable input mechanism in a second direction shifts the displayed date backward in time. In some embodiments, the user input is rotation of the rotatable input mechanism, and the direction of rotation determines whether a future or past date is displayed. In some embodiments, the computer system displays an offset (e.g., +3 hours or -2 hours) from the current time (e.g., 806i), instead of an indication of a non-current time or displays it concurrently with an indication of a non-current time.

[0335] In some implementations, while an astronomical object (e.g., 806a, 806f, or 806g) is displayed at a first zoom level via a display generation component (e.g., 802) (e.g., before detecting the first user input (e.g., 808)), the computer system (e.g., 800) displays stars (e.g., as shown in the image). Figure 8A , Figure 8B and Figure 8DThe first representation of the star (e.g., 806j) is displayed concurrently with astronomical objects, selected user elements, and Gregorian / Lunar date information; for example, when viewing the computer system's current location on Earth on the current date or a non-current date, the first representation of the star shows the star as it would be seen when viewing a portion of Earth (e.g., viewing Earth from an angle such that only a portion of Earth is displayed); for example, the representation of the star shows how it would be seen when viewing a portion of the Moon. When the astronomical object is displayed at a second zoom level via the display generation component (e.g., in response to detecting a first user input), the computer system displays a second representation of the star (e.g., 806j) that differs from the first representation of the star (e.g., when viewing the computer system's current location on Earth on the current date or a non-current date, the second representation of the star shows the star as it would be seen when viewing the entire side of Earth; for example, the representation of the star shows how it would be seen when viewing the entire Moon (e.g., not just a portion) from the computer system's current location). Displaying a first representation of stars when the astronomical object is displayed at a first zoom level and a second representation of stars when the astronomical object is displayed at a second zoom level provides the user with visual feedback that the user interface has responded to user input (e.g., a first user input), thereby providing improved visual feedback. Displaying a first representation of stars when the astronomical object is displayed at a first zoom l...
