[0039] Many televisions are controlled with a remote control. For example, if a user wants to move from a first region (e.g., a given frame or timestamp) of media content (e.g., a video or television program) to another region of the media content, the user must continuously press the fast-forward button to navigate through the media content until they find the region of interest to the user. If the user passes over the region of interest to the user, the user must continuously press the reverse button to go back until they find the region of interest to the user. However, due to the speed of the fast-forward and reverse operations, the user may need to repeatedly provide user input until they find the desired region. Furthermore, if the user decides to return to the first region, the user must press the reverse button to move through the media content until they find the first region. Also, if the user passes over the first region, the user must press the fast-forward button to fast-forward through the media content until they find the first region. Users may become annoyed by having to navigate back and forth through media content. In the embodiments described below, an improved method of navigating through media content is achieved by providing multiple playback navigation modes. While the device is operating in continuous playback navigation mode, the user can navigate through the media content with fine resolution, thereby controlling navigation precisely. While the device is operating in chapter playback navigation mode, the user can navigate through the media content from chapter to chapter, thereby achieving quick navigation through the media content. By allowing the user to easily switch between different playback navigation modes, the user can quickly find areas of interest to the user, thereby eliminating the need for additional, separate input to navigate through the media content.

[0040] The following Figures 1A-1B, 2, and 3 provide descriptions of exemplary devices. Figures 4A-4C and 5A-5ZZZZ illustrate exemplary user interfaces for selecting and playing media content.

[0041] Reference will now be made in detail to the embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the various embodiments being described. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the various embodiments being described may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known methods, procedures, components, circuits, and networks have not been described in detail as not to unnecessarily obscure aspects of the embodiments.

[0042] In this specification, terms such as "first," "second," etc. are used to describe various elements in some examples, but it will be understood that these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are used only to distinguish one element from another. For example, first video information may be referred to as second video information, and similarly, second video information may be referred to as first video information, without departing from the scope of the various described embodiments. Although the first video information and the second video information are both video information, they are not the same video information unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0043] The terminology used in the description of the various embodiments set forth herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. When used in the description of the various embodiments set forth and in the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. As used herein, it should also be understood that the term "and / or" refers to and includes any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. Furthermore, it should be understood that the terms "includes," "including," "comprises," and / or "comprising," when used herein, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups thereof.

[0044] As used herein, the term "if" is, optionally, interpreted to mean "when," "upon," "in response to determining," or "in response to detecting," depending on the context. Similarly, the phrases "if it is determined" or "if (a stated condition or event) is detected" are, optionally, interpreted to mean "upon determining," or "in response to determining," or "upon detecting (the stated condition or event)," or "in response to detecting (the stated condition or event)," depending on the context.

[0045] Embodiments of electronic devices, user interfaces for such devices, and associated processes for using such devices are described. In some embodiments, the device is a digital media player, such as the Apple TV® from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California. In some embodiments, the device is a portable communication device, such as a mobile telephone, that also includes other functions, such as PDA functionality and / or music playback functionality. Exemplary embodiments of portable multifunction devices include, but are not limited to, the iPhone®, iPod Touch®, and iPad® devices from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California. Other portable electronic devices, such as laptops or tablet computers with touch-sensitive surfaces (e.g., touchscreen displays and / or touchpads), are also optionally used. It should be understood that in some embodiments, the device is a desktop computer rather than a portable communication device. In some embodiments, the desktop computer has a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touchscreen displays and / or touchpads).

[0046] The following discussion describes electronic devices that communicate with and / or include a display and a touch-sensitive surface, but it should be understood that the electronic devices optionally include one or more other physical user interface devices, such as a physical keyboard, a mouse, and / or a joystick.

[0047] The device typically supports a variety of applications, such as one or more of a note-taking application, a drawing application, a presentation application, a word processing application, a website creation application, a disc authoring application, a spreadsheet application, a gaming application, a telephone application, a video conferencing application, an email application, an instant messaging application, a training support application, a photo management application, a digital camera application, a digital video camera application, a web browsing application, a digital music playback application, and / or a digital video playback application.

[0048] 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 corresponding information displayed on the device are optionally adjusted and / or changed from one application to the next and / or within corresponding applications. In this manner, the common physical architecture (such as the touch-sensitive surface) of the device optionally supports various applications with user interfaces that are intuitive and transparent to the user.

[0049] Attention now turns to embodiments of portable devices with touch-sensitive displays. FIG. 1A is a block diagram illustrating portable multifunction device 100 with touch-sensitive display system 112, according to some embodiments. Touch-sensitive display system 112 may conveniently be referred to as a “touch screen,” or sometimes simply as a touch-sensitive display. Device 100 includes memory 102 (optionally including one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media), memory controller 122, one or more processing units (CPUs) 120, peripherals interface 118, RF circuitry 108, audio circuitry 110, speaker 111, microphone 113, input / output (I / O) subsystem 106, other input or control devices 116, and external port 124. Device 100 optionally includes one or more optical sensors 164. Device 100 optionally includes one or more intensity sensors 165 for detecting the intensity of a contact on device 100 (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface, such as touch-sensitive display system 112 of device 100). Device 100 optionally includes one or more tactile output generators 167 for generating tactile output on device 100 (e.g., generating tactile output on a touch-sensitive surface, such as touch-sensitive display system 112 of device 100 or touchpad 355 of device 300). These components optionally communicate via one or more communication buses or signal lines 103.

[0050] As used herein and in the claims, the term “tactile output” refers to a physical displacement of a device relative to its previous position, 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, that is detected by a user with the user's sense of touch. For example, in a situation where a device or a component of the device is in contact with a touch-sensitive surface of a user (e.g., the fingers, palm, or other part of the user's hand), the tactile output produced by the physical displacement is interpreted by the user as a tactile sensation corresponding to a perceived change in a physical property of the device or a component of the device. For example, movement of a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch-sensitive display or trackpad) is optionally interpreted by the user as a “downclick” or “upclick” of a physical actuator button. In some cases, a user feels a tactile sensation such as a “downclick” or “upclick” even when no movement of a physical actuator button associated with the touch-sensitive surface is physically pressed (e.g., displaced) by the user's movement. As another example, movement of the touch-sensitive surface is optionally interpreted or perceived by a user as "roughness" of the touch-sensitive surface, even when there is no change in the smoothness of the touch-sensitive surface. While such user interpretation of touch depends on the user's individual sensory perception, there are many sensory perceptions of touch that are common to most users. Thus, when a tactile output is described as corresponding to a particular sensory perception of a user (e.g., "upclick," "downclick," "roughness"), unless otherwise specified, the generated tactile output corresponds to a physical displacement of the device, or a component of the device, that produces the described sensory perception for a typical (or average) user.

[0051] It should be understood that device 100 is only one example of a portable multifunction device, and that device 100 optionally has more or fewer components than those shown, optionally combines two or more components, or optionally has a different configuration or arrangement of components. The various components shown in Figure 1A are implemented in hardware, software, firmware, or a combination thereof, including one or more signal processing circuits and / or application specific integrated circuits.

[0052] Memory 102 optionally includes high-speed random access memory, and optionally also includes non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic disk storage devices, flash memory devices, or other non-volatile semiconductor memory devices. Access to memory 102 by other components of device 100, such as CPU(s) 120 and peripherals interface 118, is optionally controlled by memory controller 122.

[0053] A peripheral interface 118 can be used to couple input and output peripherals of the device to the CPU(s) 120 and memory 102. The one or more processors 120 run or execute various software programs and / or instruction sets stored in memory 102 to perform various functions for device 100 and to process data.

[0054] In some embodiments, peripheral interface 118, CPU(s) 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.

[0055] RF (radio frequency) circuitry 108 transmits and receives RF signals, also referred to as electromagnetic signals.

[0056] Audio circuit 110, speaker 111, and microphone 113 provide an audio interface between a user and device 100. Audio circuit 110 receives audio data from peripherals interface 118, converts the audio data into electrical signals, and transmits the electrical signals to speaker 111. Speaker 111 converts the electrical signals into sound waves audible to humans. Audio circuit 110 also receives electrical signals converted from sound waves by microphone 113. Audio circuit 110 converts the electrical signals into audio data and sends the audio data to peripherals interface 118 for processing. The audio data is optionally retrieved from and / or sent to memory 102 and / or RF circuit 108 by peripherals interface 118. In some embodiments, audio circuit 110 further comprises a headset jack (e.g., 212 in FIG. 2 ). The headset jack provides an interface between audio circuitry 110 and a removable audio input / output peripheral, such as an output-only headphone or a headset with both an output (e.g., single or double ear headphones) and an input (e.g., a microphone).

[0057] I / O subsystem 106 couples input / output peripherals of device 100, such as touch-sensitive display system 112 and other input or control devices 116, to peripheral interface 118. I / O subsystem 106 optionally includes display controller 156, light sensor controller 158, intensity sensor controller 159, haptic feedback controller 161, and one or more input controllers 160 for other input or control devices. One or more input controllers 160 receive / send electrical signals from / to other input or control devices 116. Other input or control devices 116 optionally include physical buttons (e.g., push buttons, rocker buttons, etc.), dials, slider switches, joysticks, click wheels, etc. In some alternative embodiments, input controller(s) 160 are optionally coupled to any (or none) of a keyboard, infrared port, USB port, stylus, and pointer device such as a mouse. The one or more buttons (e.g., 208 in FIG. 2) optionally include up / down buttons for adjusting the volume of the speaker 111 and / or microphone 113. The one or more buttons optionally include a push button (e.g., 206 in FIG. 2).

[0058] Touch-sensitive display system 112 provides an input and output interface between the device and a user. Display controller 156 receives and / or sends electrical signals to / from touch-sensitive display system 112. Touch-sensitive display system 112 displays visual output to the user. The visual output optionally includes graphics, text, icons, video, and any combination thereof (collectively referred to as "graphics"). In some embodiments, some or all of the visual output corresponds to user interface objects.

[0059] Touch-sensitive display system 112 has a touch-sensitive surface, sensor, or set of sensors that accepts input from a user based on haptic and / or tactile contact. Touch-sensitive display system 112 and display controller 156 (along with any associated modules and / or instruction sets in memory 102) detect contacts (and any movement or cessation of contact) on touch-sensitive display system 112 and translate the detected contacts into interactions with user interface objects (e.g., one or more soft keys, icons, web pages, or images) displayed on touch-sensitive display system 112. In some embodiments, the point of contact between touch-sensitive display system 112 and the user corresponds to the user's finger or stylus.

[0060] Touch-sensitive display system 112 optionally uses LCD (liquid crystal display), LPD (light emitting polymer display), or LED (light emitting diode) technology, although other display technologies are used in other embodiments. Touch-sensitive display system 112 and display controller 156 optionally detect contact and any movement or disruption thereof using any of a number of now-known or later-developed touch sensing technologies, including, but not limited to, capacitive, resistive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave technologies, as well as other proximity sensor arrays or other elements for determining one or more points of contact with touch-sensitive display system 112. In some embodiments, projected mutual capacitance sensing technology is used, such as that found in the iPhone®, iPod Touch®, and iPad® from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California.

[0061] Touch-sensitive display system 112 optionally has a video resolution greater than 100 dpi. In some embodiments, the touchscreen video resolution exceeds 400 dpi (e.g., 500 dpi, 800 dpi, or higher). A user optionally contacts touch-sensitive display system 112 using any suitable object or appendage, such as a stylus, a finger, or the like. In some embodiments, the user interface is designed to work with finger-based contacts and gestures, which may be less precise than stylus-based input due to the large contact area of ​​a finger on a touchscreen. In some embodiments, the device translates coarse finger-based input into precise pointer / cursor position or commands to perform the user's desired action.

[0062] In some embodiments, in addition to the touchscreen, device 100 optionally includes a touchpad (not shown) for activating or deactivating certain functions. In some embodiments, the touchpad is a touch-sensitive area of ​​the device that, unlike the touchscreen, does not display visual output. The touchpad is optionally a touch-sensitive surface separate from touch-sensitive display system 112 or an extension of the touch-sensitive surface formed by the touchscreen.

[0063] Device 100 also includes a power system 162 for providing power to the various components. Power system 162 optionally includes a power management system, one or more power sources (e.g., battery, alternating current (AC)), a recharging system, power failure detection circuitry, power converters or inverters, power status indicators (e.g., light emitting diodes (LEDs)), and any other components associated with generating, managing, and distributing electrical power within a portable device.

[0064] Device 100 also optionally includes one or more light sensors 164. FIG. 1A shows a light sensor coupled to light sensor controller 158 in I / O subsystem 106. Light sensor(s) 164 optionally include a charge-coupled device (CCD) or a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistor. Light sensor(s) 164 receive light from the environment, projected through one or more lenses, and convert the light into data representing an image. In conjunction with imaging module 143 (also referred to as a camera module), light sensor(s) 164 optionally capture still images and / or video. In some embodiments, the light sensor is located on the back of device 100, opposite touch-sensitive display system 112 on the front of the device, so that the touchscreen can be used as a viewfinder for still image and / or video capture. In some embodiments, another light sensor is placed on the front of the device to capture an image of the user (e.g., an image of oneself for a video conference while the user views other video conference participants on the touchscreen).

[0065] Device 100 also optionally includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165. FIG. 1A shows contact intensity sensors coupled to intensity sensor controller 159 in I / O subsystem 106. Contact intensity sensor(s) 165 optionally include one or more piezoresistive strain gauges, capacitive force sensors, electric force sensors, piezoelectric force sensors, optical force sensors, capacitive touch-sensitive surfaces, or other intensity sensors (e.g., sensors used to measure the force (or pressure) of a contact on a touch-sensitive surface). Contact intensity sensor(s) 165 receive contact intensity information (e.g., pressure information or a proxy for pressure information) from the environment. In some embodiments, at least one contact intensity sensor is collocated with or proximate to the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touch-sensitive display system 112). In some embodiments, at least one contact intensity sensor is located on the back of device 100, opposite touchscreen display system 112 located on the front of device 100.

[0066] Device 100 also optionally includes one or more proximity sensors 166. FIG. 1A shows proximity sensor 166 coupled to peripherals interface 118. Alternatively, proximity sensor 166 is coupled to input controller 160 in I / O subsystem 106. In some embodiments, 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 touch-sensitive display system 112 is disabled.

[0067] Device 100 also optionally includes one or more tactile output generators 167. FIG. 1A shows tactile output generators coupled to haptic feedback controller 161 in I / O subsystem 106. Tactile output generator(s) 167 optionally include one or more electroacoustic devices, such as speakers or other audio components, and / or electromechanical devices that convert energy into linear motion, such as motors, solenoids, electroactive polymers, piezoelectric actuators, electrostatic actuators, or other tactile output generating components (e.g., components that convert electrical signals into tactile output on the device). In some embodiments, tactile output generator(s) 167 receive haptic feedback generation instructions from haptic feedback module 133 and generate tactile outputs on device 100 that can be sensed by a user of device 100. In some embodiments, at least one tactile output generator is collocated with or adjacent to a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touch-sensitive display system 112) and, optionally, generates a tactile output by moving the touch-sensitive surface vertically (e.g., in / out of the surface of device 100) or laterally (e.g., back and forth in the same plane as the surface of device 100). In some embodiments, at least one tactile output generator sensor is located on the back of device 100, opposite touch-sensitive display system 112, which is located on the front of device 100.

[0068] Device 100 also optionally includes one or more accelerometers 168. FIG. 1A shows accelerometer 168 coupled to peripherals interface 118. Alternatively, accelerometer 168 is optionally coupled to input controller 160 in I / O subsystem 106. In some embodiments, information is displayed on the touchscreen display in portrait or landscape view based on analysis of data received from the one or more accelerometers. In addition to accelerometer(s) 168, device 100 optionally includes a magnetometer (not shown) and a GPS (or GLONASS or other global navigation system) receiver (not shown) for obtaining information regarding the location and orientation (e.g., portrait or landscape) of device 100.

[0069] 1A and 3 , memory 102 stores device / global internal state 157. Device / global internal state 157 includes one or more of: active application state, which indicates which applications, if any, are currently active; display state, which indicates which applications, views, or other information occupy various regions of touch-sensitive display system 112; sensor state, which includes information obtained from various sensors and other input or control devices 116; and location and / or position information regarding the device's position and / or altitude.

[0070] Operating system 126 (e.g., an embedded operating system such as iOS, Darwin®, RTXC®, LINUX®, UNIX®, OS X®, WINDOWS®, or VxWorks®) includes various software components and / or drivers for controlling and managing common system tasks (e.g., memory management, storage device control, power management, etc.) and facilitating communication between various hardware and software components.

[0071] Communications module 128 facilitates communication with other devices via one or more external ports 124 and includes various software components for processing data received by RF circuitry 108 and / or external port 124. External port 124 (e.g., Universal Serial Bus (USB), FIREWIRE®, etc.) is adapted to couple to other devices directly or indirectly via a network (e.g., the Internet, wireless LAN, etc.). In some embodiments, the external port is a multi-pin (e.g., 30-pin) connector identical to, similar to, and / or compatible with the 30-pin connector used on iPhone®, iPod Touch®, and iPad® devices from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California. In some embodiments, the external port is a Lightning connector identical to, similar to, and / or compatible with the Lightning connector used on iPhone®, iPod Touch, and iPad® devices from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California.

[0072] Contact / motion module 130 optionally (in conjunction with display controller 156) detects contact with touch-sensitive display system 112 and with other touch-sensitive devices (e.g., a touchpad or physical click wheel). Contact / motion module 130 includes various software components for performing various operations related to detecting contact (e.g., by a finger or stylus), such as determining whether contact has occurred (e.g., detecting a finger down event), determining the intensity of the contact (e.g., the force or pressure of the contact, or a proxy for the force or pressure of the contact), determining whether there is contact movement and tracking of movement across the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., detecting one or more finger drag events), and determining whether the contact has ceased (e.g., detecting a finger up event or an interruption of contact). Contact / motion module 130 receives contact data from the touch-sensitive surface. Determining the movement of the contact point represented by the series of contact data optionally includes determining the velocity (magnitude), speed (magnitude and direction), and / or acceleration (change in magnitude and / or direction) of the contact point. These actions are optionally applied to a single contact (e.g., a single finger contact or a stylus contact) or multiple simultaneous contacts (e.g., "multi-touch" / multiple finger contacts). In some embodiments, contact / motion module 130 and display controller 156 detect contacts on the touchpad.

[0073] Contact / motion module 130 optionally detects gesture input by a user. Different gestures on a touch-sensitive surface have different contact patterns (e.g., different movements, timing, and / or intensity of detected contact). Thus, gestures are optionally detected by detecting particular contact patterns. For example, detecting a finger tap gesture involves detecting a finger down event, followed by a finger lift (lift-off) event at the same location (or substantially the same location) as the finger down event (e.g., at the location of an icon). As another example, detecting a finger swipe gesture on a touch-sensitive surface involves detecting a finger down event, followed by one or more finger drag events, and then a finger up (lift-off) event.

In some embodiments, instant messaging module 141, rather than email client module 140, is used to send links to particular online videos.

[0098] Each of the above-identified modules and applications corresponds to a set of executable instructions for performing one or more of the above-identified functions and methods described herein (e.g., computer-implemented methods and other information processing methods described herein). These modules (i.e., sets of instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs, procedures, or modules; thus, various subsets of these modules are optionally combined or rearranged in various embodiments. In some embodiments, memory 102 optionally stores a subset of the above-identified modules and data structures. Additionally, memory 102 optionally stores additional modules and data structures not described above.

[0099] In some embodiments, device 100 is a device in which operation of a predefined set of functions on the device is performed exclusively via a touchscreen and / or touchpad. Using the touchscreen and / or touchpad as the primary input control device for operation of device 100 optionally reduces the number of physical input control devices (such as pushbuttons, dials, and the like) on device 100.

[0100] The set of predefined functions, performed exclusively via the touchscreen and / or touchpad, optionally includes navigation between user interfaces. In some embodiments, the touchpad, when touched by a user, navigates device 100 to a main menu, home menu, or root menu from any user interface displayed on device 100. In such embodiments, a "menu button" is implemented using the touchpad. In some other embodiments, the menu button is a physical push button or other physical input control device instead of a touchpad.

[0101] 1B is a block diagram illustrating exemplary components for event processing, according to some embodiments. In some embodiments, memory 102 (in FIG. 1A) or 370 (in FIG. 3) includes event sorter 170 (e.g., in operating system 126) and a respective application 136-1 (e.g., applications 136 and 137-155 described above, or any of applications 380-394 described below).

[0102] Event sorter 170 accepts event information and determines application 136-1 and application view 191 for application 136-1 to distribute the event information to. Event sorter 170 includes event monitor 171 and event dispatcher module 174. In some embodiments, application 136-1 includes application internal state 192 that indicates the current application view(s) that are displayed on touch-sensitive display system 112 when the application is active or running. In some embodiments, device / global internal state 157 is used by event sorter 170 to determine which application is currently active, and application internal state 192 is used by event sorter 170 to determine which application is currently active, and application internal state 192 is used by event sorter 170 to determine application view 191 to deliver the event information to.

[0103] In some embodiments, application internal state 192 includes additional information, such as one or more of resume information used when application 136-1 resumes execution, user interface state information indicating information being displayed or ready to be displayed by application 136-1, a state queue to allow the user to return to a previous state or view of application 136-1, and a redo / undo queue of actions previously performed by the user.

[0104] Event monitor 171 receives event information from peripherals interface 118. The event information includes information about sub-events (e.g., a user's touch on touch-sensitive display system 112 as part of a multi-touch gesture). Peripherals interface 118 transmits information it receives from I / O subsystem 106 or sensors such as proximity sensor 166, accelerometer(s) 168, and / or microphone 113 (via audio circuitry 110). The information that peripherals interface 118 receives from I / O subsystem 106 includes information from touch-sensitive display system 112 or a touch-sensitive surface.

[0105] In some embodiments, event monitor 171 sends requests to peripherals interface 118 at predetermined intervals. In response, peripherals interface 118 sends event information. In other embodiments, peripherals interface 118 sends event information only when there is a significant event (e.g., exceeding a predetermined noise threshold and / or receiving input for longer than a predetermined time).

[0106] In some embodiments, event sorter 170 also includes a hit view determination module 172 and / or an active event recognizer determination module 173 .

[0107] Hit view determination module 172 provides software procedures for determining where a sub-event occurred within one or more views when touch-sensitive display system 112 displays one or more views. A view consists of controls and other elements that a user can see on the display.

[0108] Another aspect of a 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 are performed. The application view (of each application) at which a touch is detected optionally corresponds to a programmatic level within the application's programmatic or view hierarchy. For example, the lowest-level view at which a touch is detected is optionally referred to as a hit view, and the set of events that are recognized as appropriate inputs is optionally determined based, at least in part, on the hit view of the initial touch that initiates a touch-based gesture.

[0109] Hit view determination module 172 receives information associated with sub-events of a touch-based gesture. If an application has multiple views organized as a hierarchy, hit view determination module 172 identifies the hit view as the lowest view in the hierarchy that should process the sub-events. In most situations, the hit view is the lowest-level view in which the first sub-event occurs (i.e., the first sub-event in the sequence of sub-events that form the event or potential event). Once a hit view is identified by the hit view determination module, the hit view typically receives all sub-events related to the same touch or input source for which it was identified as the hit view.

[0110] Active event recognizer determination module 173 determines which view(s) in the view hierarchy should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In some embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that only the hit view should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that all views that contain the physical location of the sub-events are actively participating views, and therefore, all actively participating views should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, even if the touch sub-events are completely confined to the region associated with a particular view, views higher in the hierarchy will remain actively participating views.

[0111] Event dispatcher module 174 sends the event information to an event recognizer (e.g., event recognizer 180). In embodiments that include active event recognizer determination module 173, event dispatcher module 174 distributes the event information to the event recognizers determined by active event recognizer determination module 173. In some embodiments, event dispatcher module 174 stores the event information obtained by each event receiver module 182 in an event queue.

[0112] In some embodiments, operating system 126 includes event sorter 170. Alternatively, application 136-1 includes event sorter 170. In still other embodiments, event sorter 170 is a stand-alone module or part of another module stored in memory 102, such as contact / motion module 130.

[0113] In some embodiments, application 136-1 includes multiple event handlers 190 and one or more application views 191, each containing instructions for handling touch events that occur within a respective view of the application's user interface. Each application view 191 of application 136-1 includes one or more event recognizers 180. Typically, each application view 191 includes multiple event recognizers 180. In other embodiments, one or more of event recognizers 180 are part of a separate module, such as a User Interface Kit (not shown) or a higher-level object from which application 136-1 inherits methods and other properties. In some embodiments, each event handler 190 includes one or more of data updater 176, object updater 177, GUI updater 178, and / or event data 179 received from event sorter 170. Event handler 190 optionally utilizes or invokes data updater 176, object updater 177, or GUI updater 178 to update application internal state 192. Alternatively, one or more of the application views 191 includes one or more respective event handlers 190. Also, in some embodiments, one or more of a data updater 176, an object updater 177, and a GUI updater 178 are included within each application view 191.

[0114] Each event recognizer 180 receives event information (e.g., event data 179) from event sorter 170 and identifies an event from the event information. Event recognizer 180 includes an event receiver 182 and an event comparator 184. In some embodiments, event recognizer 180 further includes at least a subset of metadata 183 and event distribution instructions 188 (optionally including sub-event distribution instructions).

[0115] Event receiver 182 receives event information from event sorter 170. The event information includes information of a sub-event, such as a touch or a movement of the touch. 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 a movement of a touch, the event information optionally further includes the speed and direction of the sub-event. In some embodiments, the event includes a rotation of the device from one orientation to another (e.g., from portrait orientation to landscape orientation, or vice versa), and the event information includes corresponding information about the device's current orientation (also called the device's attitude).

[0116] The event comparator 184 compares the event information with predefined event or sub-event definitions and determines the event or sub-event, or determines or updates the state of the event or sub-event, based on the comparison. In some embodiments, the event comparator 184 includes an event definition 186. The event definition 186 includes a definition of an event (e.g., a predefined sequence of sub-events), such as Event 1 (187-1), Event 2 (187-2), etc. In some embodiments, sub-events within Event 187 include, for example, touch start, touch end, touch movement, touch cancellation, and multiple touches. In one example, the definition of Event 1 (187-1) is a double tap on a displayed object. The double tap includes, for example, a first touch (touch start) for a predetermined phase on the displayed object, a first lift-off (touch end) for a predetermined phase, a second touch (touch start) for a predetermined phase on the displayed object, and a second lift-off (touch end) for a predetermined phase. In another embodiment, the definition of Event 2 (187-2) is a drag on the displayed object. Dragging includes, for example, touching (or contacting) a displayed object to a predetermined stage, moving the touch across the touch-sensitive display system 112, and lifting off the touch (ending of the touch). In some embodiments, the event also includes information for one or more associated event handlers 190.

[0117] In some embodiments, event definitions 187 include a definition of the event for each user interface object. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine the user interface object associated with the sub-event. For example, in an application view in which three user interface objects are displayed on touch-sensitive display system 112, if a touch is detected on touch-sensitive display system 112, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which of the three user interface objects is associated with the touch (sub-event). If each displayed object is associated with a respective event handler 190, event comparator 184 uses the results of the hit test to determine which event handler 190 needs to be activated. For example, event comparator 184 selects the event handler associated with the sub-event and the object that triggered the hit test.

[0118] In some embodiments, the definition for each event 187 also includes a delay action that delays sending the event information until it is determined whether the sequence of sub-events corresponds to the event recognizer's event type.

[0119] If the respective event recognizer 180 determines that the sequence of sub-events does not match any of the events in the event definition 186, the respective event recognizer 180 enters an event-disabled, event-failed, or event-ended state and thereafter ignores the next sub-event of the touch-based gesture. In this situation, other event recognizers, if any, that remain active for the hit view continue to track and process sub-events of the ongoing touch-based gesture.

[0120] In some embodiments, each event recognizer 180 includes metadata 183 with configurable properties, flags, and / or lists that indicate how the event delivery system performs sub-event delivery to actively participating event recognizers. In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes lists that indicate how configurable properties, flags, and / or event recognizers may interact with each other. In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes lists that indicate whether configurable properties, flags, and / or sub-events are distributed to various levels in the view hierarchy or programmatic hierarchy.

[0121] In some embodiments, each event recognizer 180 activates an event handler 190 associated with an event when one or more specific sub-events of the event are recognized. In some embodiments, each event recognizer 180 distributes event information associated with the event to the event handler 190. Activating an event handler 190 is distinct from sending (and deferring sending) sub-events to the respective hit view. In some embodiments, the event recognizer 180 throws a flag associated with the recognized event, and the event handler 190 associated with the flag catches the flag and performs its predetermined processing.

[0122] In some embodiments, event delivery instructions 188 include sub-event delivery instructions that deliver event information about a sub-event without activating an event handler. Instead, the sub-event delivery instructions distribute the event information to event handlers associated with a set of sub-events or actively participating views. The event handlers associated with a set of sub-events or actively participating views accept the event information and perform predetermined processing.

[0123] In some embodiments, data updater 176 creates and updates data used by application 136-1. For example, data updater 176 updates phone numbers used in contacts module 137 or stores video files used in video player module 145. In some embodiments, object updater 177 creates and updates objects used by application 136-1. For example, object updater 176 creates new user interface objects or updates the positions of user interface objects. GUI updater 178 updates the GUI. For example, GUI updater 178 prepares display information and sends it to graphics module 132 for display on the touch-sensitive display.

[0124] In some embodiments, event handler 190 includes or has access to data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178. In some embodiments, data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178 are included in a single module of the respective application 136-1 or application view 191. In other embodiments, they are included in two or more software modules.

[0125] It will be understood that the foregoing discussion regarding event processing of a user's touch on a touch-sensitive display also applies to other forms of user input for operating multifunction device 100 using input devices, although not all of them are initiated on the touchscreen. For example, mouse movements and mouse button presses, optionally coupled with single or multiple keyboard presses or holds, touch movements such as tapping, dragging, scrolling on a touchpad, pen stylus input, device movement, spoken word, detected eye movement, biometric input, and / or any combination thereof, are optionally utilized as inputs corresponding to sub-events that define the event to be recognized.

[0126] FIG. 2 illustrates portable multifunction device 100 having a touchscreen (e.g., touch-sensitive display system 112 of FIG. 1A ) according to some embodiments. The touchscreen optionally displays one or more graphics within user interface (UI) 200. In this and other embodiments described below, a user can select one or more of the graphics by making a gesture on the graphics, for example, with one or more fingers 202 (not drawn to scale) or one or more styluses 203 (not drawn to scale). In some embodiments, selection of one or more graphics occurs when the user breaks contact with one or more graphics. In some embodiments, the gesture optionally includes one or more taps, one or more swipes (left to right, right to left, upward, and / or downward), and / or rolling of a finger in contact with device 100 (right to left, left to right, upward, and / or downward). In some implementations or situations, accidental contact with a graphic does not select the graphic, for example, a swipe gesture that swipes over an application icon optionally does not select the corresponding application if the gesture corresponding to selection is a tap.

[0127] Device 100 also optionally includes one or more physical buttons, such as a "home" or menu button 204. As mentioned above, menu button 204 is optionally used for navigation to any application 136 within a set of applications, optionally running on device 100. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the menu button is implemented as a soft key in a GUI displayed on a touchscreen display.

[0128] In some embodiments, device 100 includes a touchscreen display, a menu button 204, a push button 206 for turning power to the device on / off and locking the device, volume control button(s) 208, a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card slot 210, a headset jack 212, and an external docking / charging port 124. Push button 206 is optionally used to turn power on / off on the device by pressing the button and holding it down for a predetermined time interval, and to lock the device and / or unlock the device or start an unlocking process by pressing the button and releasing it before the predetermined time interval has elapsed. In some embodiments, device 100 also accepts verbal input through microphone 113 to activate or deactivate some features. Device 100 also optionally includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165 for detecting the intensity of a contact on touch-sensitive display system 112 and / or one or more haptic output generators 167 for generating a haptic output for a user of device 100.

[0129] FIG. 3 is a block diagram of an exemplary multifunction 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 computer, a desktop computer, a tablet computer, a multimedia player device, a navigation device, an educational device (such as a child's learning toy), a gaming system, or a control device (e.g., a home or commercial 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. Communication bus 320 optionally includes circuitry (sometimes referred to as a chipset) that interconnects 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. I / O interface 330 also optionally includes a keyboard and / or mouse (or other pointing device) 350 and a touchpad 355, a tactile output generator 357 (e.g., similar to tactile output generator 167 described above with reference to FIG. 1A ) for generating tactile output on device 300, sensors 359 (e.g., optical sensors, acceleration sensors, proximity sensors, touch-sensitive sensors, and / or contact intensity sensors similar to contact intensity sensor 165 described above with reference to FIG. 1A ). Memory 370 includes high-speed random-access memory such as DRAM, SRAM, DDR RAM, or other random-access semiconductor memory devices, and optionally includes non-volatile memory such as one or more magnetic disk storage devices, optical disk storage devices, flash memory devices, or other non-volatile semiconductor storage devices. Memory 370 optionally includes one or more storage devices located remotely from CPU(s) 310.In some embodiments, memory 370 stores programs, modules, and data structures similar to, or a subset of, programs, modules, and data structures stored in memory 102 of portable multifunction device 100 (FIG. 1A). Additionally, memory 370 may store additional programs, modules, and data structures not present in memory 102 of portable multifunction device 100. For example, memory 370 of device 300 optionally stores drawing module 380, presentation module 382, ​​document creation module 384, website creation module 386, disc authoring module 388, spreadsheet module 390, first video player module 392 (e.g., a first third-party video player module), and / or second video player module 394 (e.g., a second third-party video player module), while memory 102 of portable multifunction device 100 (FIG. 1A) optionally does not store these modules.

[0130] 3 are optionally stored in one or more of the memory devices mentioned above. Each of the above-identified modules corresponds to an instruction set for performing the functions described above. The above-identified modules or programs (i.e., instruction sets) need not be implemented as separate software programs, procedures, or modules; thus, in various embodiments, various subsets of these modules are optionally combined or otherwise rearranged. In some embodiments, memory 370 optionally stores a subset of the above-identified modules and data structures. Additionally, memory 370 optionally stores additional modules and data structures not described above.

[0131] Attention is now directed to embodiments of a user interface (“UI”) that is optionally implemented on portable multifunction device 100.

[0132] 4A shows an exemplary user interface for a menu of applications on portable multifunction device 100, according to some embodiments. A similar user interface may, optionally, be implemented on device 300. In some embodiments, user interface 400 includes the following elements, or a subset or superset thereof: signal strength indicator(s) 402 for wireless communication(s), such as cellular and Wi-Fi signals; ●Time 404, ●Bluetooth indicator, ● Battery status indicator 406, A tray 408 containing icons for frequently used applications, such as: an icon 416 for the phone module 138, labeled "Phone," optionally including an indicator 414 of the number of missed calls or voicemail messages; An icon 418 for the email client module 140, labeled "Mail", optionally including an indicator 410 of the number of unread emails; ○ An icon 420 for the browser module 147, labeled "Browser"; and ○ An icon 422 for the video and music player module 152, also called the iPod (trademark of Apple Inc.) module 152, labeled "iPod", and ●Icons for other applications, such as: ○ Icon 424 for IM module 141, labeled "Messages"; ○ Icon 426 for the calendar module 148, labeled "Calendar", ○ Icon 428 for the image management module 144, labeled "Photos"; ○ An icon 430 for the camera module 143, labeled "camera"; ○ Icon 432 for the online video module 155, labeled "Online Video"; Icon 434 for stock widget 149-2, labeled "Stocks" ○ Icon 436 for map module 154, labeled "Map"; ○ Icon 438 for weather widget 149-1, labeled "Weather" ○ Icon 440 for alarm clock widget 149-4, labeled "Clock" ○ An icon 442 for the training support module 142, labeled "Training Support"; ○ An icon 444 for the notes module 153, labeled "Notes"; and ○ An icon 446 for a settings application or module that provides access to settings related to the device 100 and its various applications 136.

[0133] It will be understood that the icon labels shown in FIG. 4A are merely exemplary. For example, in some embodiments, icon 422 for video and music player module 152 is labeled "Music" or "Music Player." Other labels are optionally used for various application icons. In some embodiments, the label for each application icon includes the name of the application corresponding to the respective application icon. In some embodiments, the label of a particular application icon is different from the name of the application corresponding to the particular application icon.

[0134] 4B shows an exemplary user interface on a device (e.g., device 300 of FIG. 3) with touch-sensitive surface 451 (e.g., tablet or touchpad 355 of FIG. 3) separate from display 450. Device 300 also includes one or more contact intensity sensors (e.g., one or more of sensors 357) for detecting the intensity of a contact on touch-sensitive surface 451 and / or one or more tactile output generators 359 for generating a tactile output for a user of device 300.

[0135] FIG. 4B shows an exemplary user interface on a device (e.g., device 300 of FIG. 3) with a touch-sensitive surface 451 (e.g., tablet or touchpad 355 of FIG. 3) separate from a display 450. A number of examples are provided below with reference to a device that detects input on a touch-sensitive surface separate from a display as shown in FIG. 4B. In some embodiments, the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., 451 of FIG. 4B) has a major axis (e.g., 452 of FIG. 4B) that corresponds to a major axis (e.g., 453 of FIG. 4B) on the display (e.g., 450). According to these embodiments, the device detects contact with touch-sensitive surface 451 (e.g., 460 and 462 of FIG. 4B) at locations that correspond to respective locations on the display (e.g., in FIG. 4B, 460 corresponds to 468, and 462 corresponds to 470). In this manner, when the touch-sensitive surface is separate from the display, user input (e.g., contacts 460 and 462, and their movement) detected by the device on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., 451 in FIG. 4B ) is used by the device to operate a user interface on the display (e.g., 450 in FIG. 4B ) of the multifunction device. It should be understood that similar methods are optionally used for the other user interfaces described herein.

[0136] Additionally, while the following examples are described primarily with reference to finger input (e.g., finger touches, finger tap gestures, finger swipe gestures, etc.), it should be understood that in some embodiments, one or more of those finger inputs are replaced with input from another input device (e.g., mouse-based input or stylus input), or other types of input on the same device (e.g., button presses). For example, a swipe gesture is optionally replaced with a mouse click (e.g., instead of a touch), followed by cursor movement along the path of the swipe (e.g., instead of moving the contact). As another example, a tap gesture is optionally replaced with a mouse click while the cursor is positioned over the location of the tap gesture (e.g., instead of detecting a contact and then ceasing contact detection). Similarly, it will be understood that when multiple user inputs are detected simultaneously, multiple computer mice are optionally used simultaneously, or a mouse and finger contact are optionally used simultaneously.

[0137] As used herein, the term “focus selector” refers to an input element that indicates the current portion of the user interface with which the user is interacting. In implementations that include a cursor or other location marker, the cursor acts as a “focus selector” when input (e.g., a press input) is detected on a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touchpad 355 of FIG. 3 or touch-sensitive surface 451 of FIG. 4B ) while the cursor is over a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider, or other user interface element), and the particular user interface element is adjusted according to the detected input. In some implementations that include a touchscreen display (e.g., touch-sensitive display system 112 of FIG. 1A or the touchscreen of FIG. 4A ) that allows direct interaction with user interface elements on the touchscreen display, contact detected on the touchscreen acts as a “focus selector,” such that when input (e.g., a press input by contact) is detected at the location of a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider, or other user interface element) on the touchscreen display, the particular user interface element is adjusted according to the detected input. In some implementations, focus is moved from one region of the user interface to another region of the user interface without a corresponding cursor movement or contact movement on the touchscreen (e.g., by moving focus from one button to another using the tab or arrow keys). In these implementations, the focus selector moves to follow the movement of focus between different regions of the user interface. Regardless of the particular form the focus selector takes, the focus selector is generally a user interface element (or contact on a touchscreen display) controlled by the user to convey the user's intended interaction with the user interface (e.g., by indicating to the device which element of the user interface the user wants to interact with).For example, the position of a focus selector (e.g., cursor, contact, or selection box) over a respective button when a press input is detected on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touchpad or touchscreen) indicates that the user intends to activate the corresponding button (as opposed to other user interface elements shown on the device's display).

[0138] 4C shows an exemplary electronic device in communication with display 450 and touch-sensitive surface 452. According to some embodiments, for at least a subset of computing devices, display 450 and / or touch-sensitive surface 452 are integrated within the computing device. While the examples described in more detail below are described with reference to touch-sensitive surface 451 and display 450 in communication with a computing device (e.g., portable multifunction device 100 of FIGS. 1A-1B or device 300 of FIG. 3), it will be understood that according to some embodiments, the touch-sensitive surface and / or display are integrated with the computing device, while in other embodiments, one or more of the touch-sensitive surface and / or display are separate from the computing device. Additionally, in some embodiments, a computing device has an integrated display and / or an integrated touch-sensitive surface and communicates with one or more additional displays and / or touch-sensitive surfaces that are separate from the computing device.

[0139] In some embodiments, all of the operations described below with reference to Figures 5A-5ZZZZ are performed on a single computing device having user interface navigation logic 480 (e.g., computing device A described below with reference to Figure 4C). However, it will be understood that often multiple different computing devices are coupled together to perform the operations described below with reference to Figures 5A-5ZZZZ (e.g., a computing device having user interface navigation logic 480 communicating with a separate computing device having display 450 and / or a separate computing device having touch-sensitive surface 451). In any of these embodiments, the computing device described below with reference to Figures 5A-5ZZZZ is a computing device (or multiple devices) having user interface navigation logic 480. Additionally, it will be understood that, while in various embodiments user interface navigation logic 480 can be divided among multiple separate modules or computing devices, for purposes of explanation herein, user interface navigation logic 480 will be primarily referred to as residing in a single computing device so as not to unnecessarily obscure other aspects of the embodiments.

[0140] In some embodiments, user interface navigation logic 480 includes one or more modules (e.g., one or more event handlers 190, including one or more object updaters 177 and one or more GUI updaters 178, described in more detail with reference to FIG. 1B ) that receive the interpreted input and, in response to the interpreted input, generate instructions for updating the graphical user interface in accordance with the interpreted input, which are in turn used to update the graphical user interface on the display. In some embodiments, the interpreted input, relative to input detected (e.g., by touch movement module 130 of FIGS. 1A and 3 ), recognized (e.g., by event recognizer 180 of FIG. 1B ), and / or distributed (e.g., by event sorter 170 of FIG. 1B ), is used to update the graphical user interface on the display. In some embodiments, the interpreted input is generated by a module at the computing device (e.g., the computing device receives raw contact input data such that the computing device identifies gestures from the raw contact input data). In some embodiments, some or all of the interpreted input is received as interpreted input by a computing device (e.g., a computing device including touch-sensitive surface 451 processes raw contact input data to identify gestures from the raw contact input data and sends information indicative of the gestures to a computing device having user interface navigation logic 480).

[0141] In some embodiments, both display 450 and touch-sensitive surface 451 are integrated into a computing device (e.g., computing device A in FIG. 4C) that includes user interface navigation logic 480. For example, computing device may be a desktop or laptop computer with an integrated display (e.g., 340 in FIG. 3) and touchpad (e.g., 355 in FIG. 3). As another example, computing device may be portable multifunction device 100 (e.g., a smartphone, PDA, tablet computer, etc.) with a touchscreen (112 in FIG. 2).

[0142] In some embodiments, touch-sensitive surface 451 is integrated with a computing device, but display 450 is not integrated with a computing device that includes user interface navigation logic 480 (e.g., computing device B in FIG. 4C ). For example, computing device may be device 300 (e.g., a desktop or laptop computer) with an integrated touchpad (e.g., 355 in FIG. 3 ) connected (via a wired or wireless connection) to a separate display (e.g., a computer monitor, a television, etc.). As another example, computing device may be portable multifunction device 100 (e.g., a smartphone, PDA, tablet computer, etc.) with a touchscreen (e.g., 112 in FIG. 2 ) connected (via a wired or wireless connection) to a separate display (e.g., a computer monitor, a television, etc.).

[0143] In some embodiments, display 450 is integrated with a computing device, but touch-sensitive surface 451 is not integrated with a computing device (e.g., computing device C in FIG. 4C ) that includes user interface navigation logic 480. For example, computing device may be device 300 (e.g., a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a television with an integrated set-top box) with an integrated display (e.g., 340 in FIG. 3 ) connected (via a wired or wireless connection) to a separate touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a remote touchpad, another portable multifunction device with a touchscreen as a remote touchpad, etc.). As another example, computing device may be portable multifunction device 100 (e.g., a smartphone, PDA, tablet computer, etc.) with a touchscreen (e.g., 112 in FIG. 2 ) connected (via a wired or wireless connection) to a separate touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a remote touchpad, another portable multifunction device with a touchscreen as a remote touchpad, etc.).

[0144] In some embodiments, neither display 450 nor touch-sensitive surface 451 is integrated with a computing device (e.g., computing device D in FIG. 4C ) that includes user interface navigation logic 480. For example, the computing device may be a standalone computing device 300 (e.g., a desktop computer, laptop computer, console, set-top box, etc.) that is connected (via a wired or wireless connection) to a separate touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a remote touchpad, a portable multifunction device, etc.) and a separate display (e.g., a computer monitor, a television, etc.). As another example, the computing device may be portable multifunction device 100 (e.g., a smartphone, PDA, tablet computer, etc.) that has a touchscreen (e.g., 112 in FIG. 2 ) that is connected (via a wired or wireless connection) to a separate touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a remote touchpad, another portable multifunction device with a touchscreen as a remote touchpad, etc.).

[0145] In some embodiments, the computing device has an integrated audio system. In some embodiments, the computing device communicates with an audio system that is separate from the computing device. In some embodiments, the audio system (e.g., an audio system integrated with a television unit) is integrated with a separate display 450. In some embodiments, the audio system (e.g., a stereo system) is a standalone system separate from the computing device and display 450. User Interface and Related Processes

[0146] Attention now turns to embodiments of user interfaces (“UI”) and associated processing that may be implemented in an electronic device that communicates with and / or has a display and touch-sensitive surface, such as one of computing devices A-D of FIG. 4C.

[0147] 5A-5ZZZZ show exemplary user interfaces for navigating through media content, according to some embodiments. The user interfaces in these figures are used to illustrate the processes described below, including the processes of FIGS. 12A-12E. Some of the examples below are described with reference to input on touch-sensitive surface 451 that is separate from display 450 (where the touch-sensitive surface and display are combined), but as shown in FIG. 4A , in some embodiments, the device detects input on a touchscreen display. Some of the examples below are described with reference to input on a remote user input device (e.g., a remote control) that is separate from the device, but in some embodiments, the device includes an integrated user input device (e.g., a trackpad).

[0148] 5A shows display 450 and corresponding remote control 5001 (e.g., both in communication with device 100 or 300). In some embodiments, remote control 5001 has touch-sensitive surface 451. In some embodiments, remote control 5001 also has one or more buttons or affordances, such as menu button 5002, microphone button 5003, play / pause button 5004, watchlist button 5005, volume increase button 5009, and / or volume decrease button 5007. In some embodiments, menu button 5002 or a similar affordance allows a home screen user interface to be displayed on display 450. In some embodiments, menu button 5002 or a similar affordance allows navigating back to a previously displayed user interface. In some embodiments, microphone button 5003 or a similar affordance allows a user to provide verbal commands or voice input to a device (e.g., device 100 or 300). In some embodiments, play / pause button 5004 is used to play or pause audio or visual media rendered by a device (e.g., device 100 or 300) on display 450. In some embodiments, watchlist button 5005 enables a watchlist user interface to be displayed on display 450. In some embodiments, the watchlist user interface provides a user with multiple audio / visual media items to play using a device (e.g., device 100 or 300).

[0149] 5A also shows a screensaver view 5008 that is displayed on display 450. In some embodiments, screensaver view 5008 is displayed in response to determining that remote control 5001 is stationary (e.g., remote control 5001 is placed on a stationary surface such as a tabletop and / or there has been no input on remote control 5001 for a predetermined period of time).

[0150] 5B shows a motion effect (e.g., zooming in on a view of a bridge) in a screensaver view 5008. In some embodiments, the screensaver shows the motion effect by applying panning and / or zooming effects on a still image. In some embodiments, the screensaver shows the motion effect by playing a video.

[0151] In Figures 5C and 5D, the screensaver view 5008 zooms in on the bridge.

[0152] The motion effects (e.g., zoom-in actions) shown in Figures 5B-5D are provided in the absence of input from remote control 5001 (e.g., the motion effects are initiated without relying on a button press or contact on touch-sensitive surface 451).

[0153] FIG. 5D also shows that contact 5401 is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 while screensaver view 5008 zooms in on the bridge.

[0154] 5E-5F show that in response to detecting contact 5401 on touch-sensitive surface 451 (optionally while contact 5401 on touch-sensitive surface 451 persists), screensaver view 5008 zooms out on the bridge.

[0155] FIG. 5F also shows that contact 5401 is no longer detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 (shown in FIG. 5E) while screensaver view 5008 zooms out on the bridge.

[0156] 5F-5G show that in response to detecting that contact 5401 is no longer detected on touch-sensitive surface 451, screensaver view 5008 zooms in on the bridge.

[0157] FIG. 5H shows that movement of contact 5402 (eg, a left swipe gesture) is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0158] Figure 5I illustrates that, in some embodiments, in response to detecting movement of contact 5402 (e.g., a left swipe gesture), the direction of video playback (if the video playback provides a motion effect) or the direction of zoom in / out is reversed. For example, instead of zooming in on the bridge as shown in Figures 5F-5H, Figure 5I illustrates zooming out on the bridge.

[0159] FIG. 5I also shows that movement of contact 5403 (eg, a swipe down gesture) is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0160] 5J illustrates that in response to detecting movement (e.g., a swipe down gesture) of contact 5403, screensaver 5008 shows a zoomed-in view of the bridge, providing the visual perception that the user has pulled the object shown in screensaver view 5008 (e.g., the bridge) toward the user (e.g., by zooming in on the object).

[0161] FIG. 5K shows a user input 5404 of lifting the remote control 5001 .

[0162] 5L shows that in response to detecting that remote control 5001 has been lifted, current date and time 5010 is displayed on display 450. In FIG. 5L, current date and time 5010 is overlaid on screensaver view 5008.

[0163] FIG. 5L also shows that input 5405 (eg, a tap gesture) is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0164] 5M shows that in response to detecting input 5405, metadata 5011 about the image or video shown in screensaver 5008 is displayed on display 450. In FIG. 5M, metadata 5011 is overlaid on screensaver view 5008.

[0165] FIG. 5N shows that movement of contact 5406 (eg, a right swipe gesture) is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0166] Figure 5O shows that in response to detecting movement of contact 5406 (e.g., a right swipe gesture), screensaver view 5009 is displayed that is separate from screensaver view 5008. In Figure 5O, screensaver view 5009 includes a motion effect on a beach scene that is separate from the motion effect on a bridge scene as shown in Figure 5N.

[0167] FIG. 5P shows a coastal view shown with a zoom and pan effect separate from the zoom-only motion effect shown in FIGS. 5B-5D.

[0168] FIG. 5P also shows that an input 5407 of pressing the menu button 5002 is detected.

[0169] FIG. 5Q illustrates that, in response to input 5407 (FIG. 5P), home screen user interface 5018 is displayed on display 450. In FIG. 5Q, home screen user interface 5018 includes region 5014 that includes multiple application icons 5015-a through 5015-e. Application icon 5015-a is visually distinguished from the other application icons 5015-b through 5015-e to indicate that the current focus is on application icon 5015-a (e.g., application icon 5015-a is enlarged and indicated by shading and / or highlighting). Home screen user interface 5018 also includes region 5012. Region 5012 includes one or more icons that correspond to application icon 5015 with current focus. In FIG. 5Q, the current focus is on application icon 5015-a (e.g., "Movie Application A"), and region 5012 shows movie posters 5013-a through 5013-c. In some embodiments, the home screen user interface 5018 includes a region 5016 with additional user interface objects (eg, icons for other media content items).

[0170] 5R-5U show that movement of contact 5408 from locations 5408-a through 5408-d is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0171] In Figures 5R-5T, movement of contact 5408 is also indicated using distance grid 5200, which indicates the threshold distance to move to the next icon (e.g., movement of contact 5408 from initial position 5201-a to threshold position 5201-d begins to move the current focus from the current icon to an adjacent icon).

[0172] 5S-5T illustrate the tilting of application icon 5015-a due to the movement of contact 5408 (and the corresponding position of contact 5408 within grid 5200 at locations 5201-b and 5201-c). As shown in FIGS. 5S-5T, as contact 5408 further moves an adjacent icon (e.g., icon 5015-b), currently focused icon 5015-a further tilts toward the adjacent icon (e.g., icon 5015-b).

[0173] Figure 5U shows that contact 5408 has moved to location 5408-d, which has caused the current focus to move from icon 5015-a to icon 5015-b (e.g., icon 5015-b is enlarged and indicated with shading and / or highlighting). In Figure 5U, icon 5015-a has been reduced in size (from its previously enlarged size) and is indicated without shading and / or highlighting. Additionally, a new grid 5202 is shown in Figure 5U to indicate the location of the current focus relative to icon 5015-b.

[0174] FIG. 5U also shows that region 5012 includes album poster icons (eg, album poster icons 5017-a through 5017-c) that correspond to icon 5015-b (eg, the iTunes® application icon).

[0175] Figures 5V-5X show the movement of contact 5409 from position 5409-a to position 5409-c on touch-sensitive surface 451 (and from corresponding positions 5205-a to 5205-c in grid 5204). Figures 5V-5X also show the tilting of icon 5015-b due to the movement of contact 5409 and the shifting of the current focus from icon 5015-b to icon 5015-c as contact 5409 moves a threshold distance (e.g., when the corresponding position of contact 5409 in grid 5204 reaches the edge of grid 5204). In Figure 5X, grid 5206 is shown to indicate the position of the current focus relative to icon 5015-c.

[0176] FIG. 5X also shows that region 5012 includes watchlist item icons (eg, watchlist item icons 5036- through 5036-c) that correspond to icon 5015-c (eg, the "Watchlist" icon).

[0177] 5Y-5Z show the movement of contact 5410 from position 5410-a to position 5410-b (and corresponding positions 5209-a to 5209-b in grid 5207). FIG. 5Z also shows the tilting of icon 5015-c due to the movement of contact 5410.

[0178] FIG. 5AA shows that contact 5410 is no longer detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 and icon 5015-c tilts back (eg, icon 5015-c is displayed without tilting).

[0179] 5BB-5DD illustrate the movement of an icon (eg, icon 5015-a) as the current focus moves from the icon to an adjacent icon (eg, icon 5015-b) according to some embodiments.

[0180] FIG. 5BB shows that the current focus is on icon 5015-a. In FIG. 5BB, icon 5015-a is enlarged compared to icons 5015-b through 5015-e. FIG. 5BB includes a reference line 5019. Reference line 5019 is used in FIGS. 5BB-5JJ to indicate the movement of icon 5015-a, but reference line 5019 is not displayed on display 450. In FIG. 5BB, icon 5015-a is aligned with reference line 5019 (e.g., reference line 5019 passes through the center of icon 5015-a).

[0181] FIG. 5CC shows that icon 5015-a moves toward icon 5015-b in accordance with movement of the contact (e.g., movement of contact toward the right side of touch-sensitive surface 451, such as movement of contact 5408 from position 5408-a to position 5408-b as shown in FIGS. 5R-5S).

[0182] Figure 5DD shows that the current focus has moved from icon 5015-a to icon 5015-b. In Figure 5DD, icon 5015-b is enlarged relative to icons 5015-a and 5015-c through 5015-e. In Figure 5DD, the size of icon 5015-a is reduced (relative to the size of icon 5015-a in Figure 5BB), and icon 5015-a moves back to its initial position where icon 5015-a is aligned with reference line 5019 (e.g., reference line 5019 passes through the center of icon 5015-a).

[0183] 5EE-5HH illustrate the tilting of an icon (eg, icon 5015-a) as the current focus moves from the icon to an adjacent icon (eg, icon 5015-b) according to some embodiments.

[0184] Figure 5EE shows that the current focus is on icon 5015-a, which is enlarged relative to icons 5015-b through 5015-e.

[0185] FIG. 5FFF shows that as the contact moves (e.g., moving contact toward the right side of touch-sensitive surface 451, such as moving contact 5408 from position 5408-a to position 5408-b as shown in FIGS. 5R-5S), icon 5015-a tilts toward icon 5015-b.

[0186] FIG. 5GG shows that as the contact moves further (e.g., moving contact 5408 from position 5408-b to position 5408-c as shown in FIGS. 5S-5T, further movement of the contact toward the right side of touch-sensitive surface 451), icon 5015-a tilts further toward icon 5015-b.

[0187] Figure 5HH shows that the current focus has moved from icon 5015-a to icon 5015-b. In Figure 5HH, icon 5015-b is enlarged relative to icons 5015-a and 5015-c through 5015-e. In Figure 5HH, the size of icon 5015-a is reduced (relative to the size of icon 5015-a in Figure 5EE), and icon 5015-a tilts back to its initial position (e.g., icon 5015-a is no longer tilted).

[0188] 5II-5JJ illustrate the tilting and movement of an icon (eg, icon 5015-a) as the current focus moves from the icon to an adjacent icon (eg, icon 5015-b) according to some embodiments.

[0189] FIG. 5II shows that as the contact moves (e.g., moving contact toward the right side of touch-sensitive surface 451, such as moving contact 5408 from position 5408-a to position 5408-b as shown in FIGS. 5R-5S), icon 5015-a simultaneously moves and tilts toward icon 5015-b.

[0190] Figure 5JJ shows that the current focus has moved from icon 5015-a to icon 5015-b. In Figure 5JJ, the size of icon 5015-a becomes smaller (compared to the size of icon 5015-a in Figure 5II), and icon 5015-a moves such that icon 5015-a moves back along reference line 5019 (e.g., reference line 5019 passes through the center of icon 5015-a).

[0191] FIG. 5JJ also shows that, in some embodiments, icon 5015-b is tilted (and optionally moved) towards icon 5015-a to indicate that the current focus has moved from icon 5015-a.

[0192] Alternatively, if the current focus moves from icon 5015-a to icon 5015-b, icon 5015-b does not tilt, as shown in FIG. 5HH.

[0193] 5KK-5LL illustrate movement of contact 5020 (e.g., a quick swipe gesture) across touch-sensitive surface 451. In Figure 5KK, the movement of contact 5020 has a characteristic movement distance (e.g., the distance traveled by contact 5020 across touch-sensitive surface 451) and / or a characteristic movement speed (e.g., the speed of movement of contact 5020 at or just before lift-off of contact 5020 from touch-sensitive surface 451) that causes the current focus to move quickly from icon 5015-b to icon 5015-e (rather than slowly moving the current focus as illustrated in Figures 5R-5X).

[0194] 5LL shows that the current focus has moved from icon 5015-b to icon 5015-e through icon 5015-c and icon 5015-d (e.g., the current focus moves from icon 5015-b to icon 5015-c, then the current focus moves from icon 5015-c to icon 5015-d, and then from icon 5015-d to icon 5015-e). While the current focus moves from icon 5015-b to icon 5015-e, icons 5015-b, 5015-c, and 5015-d are moved and / or tilted based on the movement of the current focus. In some embodiments, icons 5015-b through 5015-d tilt back with a time delay as the current focus moves away from them, such that the return tilt of icons 5015-b through 5015-d is visible (for a short period of time) after the current focus has already moved to icon 5015-e. In some embodiments, the amount of tilt and / or movement of each icon decreases as the speed of the contact movement increases. This allows the user interface to settle faster, thereby reducing confusion for the user and improving the user experience.

[0195] 5LL also shows input 5022 on touch-sensitive surface 451. Icon 5015-e is tilted and / or moved in accordance with input 5022.

[0196] FIG. 5MM illustrates tilting icon 5015-e in different directions based on input 5022. When input 5022 moves upward and left to position 5022-a, the icon tilts toward its upper left corner, as represented by icon 5115-a. When input 5022 moves to position 5022-b, the icon tilts toward its top side, as represented by icon 5115-b. When input 5022 moves upward and right to position 5022-c, the icon tilts toward its upper right corner, as represented by icon 5115-c. When input 5022 moves left to position 5022-d, the icon tilts toward its left side, as represented by icon 5115-d. When input 5022 does not move from its initial position, or when input 5022 is no longer detected, the icon is not tilted, as represented by icon 5115-e. As input 5022 moves right to position 5022-f, the icon tilts toward its right side, as represented by icon 5115-f. As input 5022 moves left and down to position 5022-g, the icon tilts toward its bottom left corner, as represented by icon 5115-g. As input 5022 moves to position 5022-h, the icon tilts toward its bottom side, as represented by icon 5115-h. As input 5022 moves right and down to position 5022-i, the icon tilts toward its bottom right corner, as represented by icon 5115-i.

[0197] In this manner, icon 5015-e (or other icons shown herein) tilts by moving the position of input 5022 on touch-sensitive surface 451. In some embodiments, some icons (e.g., icon 5026 does not tilt in any direction, or icon 5026 does not tilt horizontally due to its size (or width)).

[0198] 5NN-5PP illustrate the parallax effect according to some embodiments.

[0199] 5NN shows that icon 5015-e is displayed using multiple layers (e.g., layer 5028 showing the text "Ping Pong Mania!!", layer 5030 showing the ping pong ball and its trajectory, layer 5032 showing the racket, and layer 5034 showing the net). The sizes and relative positions of these layers are adjusted by user input to provide an improved visual perception of the icon (e.g., providing a three-dimensional perception of the objects shown within the icon). In some embodiments, the display of icon 5015-e is a superimposition of each layer (e.g., layers 5028 through 5034) on icon 5015-e.

[0200] Figure 5NN also shows configuration 5038, which includes a simplified icon with two layers (e.g., a foreground layer showing a ping-pong ball and a racket and a background layer showing text and a net). Figure 5NN shows that in response to a first input (e.g., movement of a contact toward the left side of touch-sensitive surface 451), the foreground layer is moved toward the left side relative to the background layer, as shown in configuration 5040. This enhances the visual perception that the icon is tilted toward the left side. Figure 5NN also shows that in response to a second input (e.g., movement of a contact toward the right side of touch-sensitive surface 451), the foreground layer is moved toward the right side relative to the background layer, as shown in configuration 5042. This enhances the visual perception that the icon is tilted toward the right side. Similarly, the foreground layer can move upward, downward, or diagonally relative to the background layer in accordance with a user input, as shown in illustration 5043 of Figure 5OO with foreground layer 5043-1, intervening layer 5043-2, and background layer 5043-3. By using the parallax effect, the device provides visual feedback to the user that the device is responding to user input, even when the current focus remains on the same icon. The parallax effect also helps the user estimate how much additional movement of contact is required to move the current focus from the current icon to an adjacent icon.

[0201] In some embodiments, one or more layers (e.g., foreground layers) include a cutout that shows a portion of one or more layers behind them (e.g., in FIG. 5OO, foreground layer 5041-1 includes a cutout that shows a portion of background layer 5041-2).

[0202] Illustration 5048 of Figure 5PP shows two distinct configurations of icon 5015-e: a two-layer configuration and a three-layer configuration. As noted above, an icon can be represented by multiple layers, and the number of layers used to represent the icon varies depending on the level of detail to be presented using the parallax effect and the computing power of the device. For example, in Figure 5NN shown above, icon 5015-e is represented using four layers: 5028, 5030, 5032, and 5034.

[0203] 5PP, regardless of the number of layers used to represent icon 5015-e, the perceived depth (or distance) between the foreground and background layers (e.g., layers 5048-1 and 5048-2 in a two-layer configuration, and layers 5050-1 and 5050-3 in a three-layer configuration) is the same. For example, the perceived depth (or distance) between layers 5048-1 and 5048-2 in a two-layer configuration and the perceived depth (or distance) between layers 5050-1 and 5050-3 in a three-layer configuration is the same. This facilitates an improved user experience by providing icons with more consistent visual characteristics (e.g., a uniform thickness of the icon).

[0204] Illustration 5049 of Figure 5PP illustrates the scaling and cropping of layers. Figure 5PP shows icon 5015-e with both layers (e.g., a foreground layer showing a ping-pong ball and racket and a background layer showing text and a net, as shown in Figure 5NN) overlaid on top of each other without scaling any of the layers.

[0205] In some embodiments, to provide an enhanced sense of depth, the foreground layer is magnified relative to the background layer, as shown in configuration 5044. However, by magnifying the foreground layer relative to the background layer, one or more portions of the foreground layer extend beyond the boundaries of the background layer. For example, in configuration 5044, a portion of the racket and a portion of the ping-pong ball's trajectory extend beyond the boundaries of the background layer. In some embodiments, this protrusion of one or more portions of the foreground layer (outside the boundaries of the background layer) becomes more noticeable when the icon is tilted.

[0206] In configuration 5044, the portion of the foreground layer that exceeds the boundary of the background layer is cropped. This provides an improved visual perception of icon 5015-e, as the rectangular shape of icon 5015-e is preserved regardless of zooming and / or tilting of icon 5015-e.

[0207] 5QQ-5TT illustrate moving the current focus according to some embodiments.

[0208] FIG. 5QQ shows region 5014 with application icons 5015-a through 5015-e and region 5016 with movie poster icons 5062-a through 5062-c.

[0209] 5QQ also shows that the current focus is on icon 5015-d within region 5014. In FIG. 5QQ, movement of contact 5422 (eg, a swipe-up gesture) is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0210] FIG. 5RR shows that in response to movement of contact 5422, the current focus moves from icon 5015-d in region 5014 to icon 5062-b in region 5012.

[0211] FIG. 5RR also shows that movement of contact 5424 (eg, a left swipe gesture) is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0212] FIG. 5SS shows that in response to movement of contact 5424, the current focus moves from icon 5062-b to icon 5062-a.

[0213] FIG. 5SS also shows that movement of contact 5426 (eg, a swipe down gesture) is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0214] FIG. 5TT shows that in response to movement of contact 5426, the current focus moves from icon 5062-a to icon 5015-d.

[0215] In some embodiments, moving the current focus between icons of different types (e.g., moving the current focus from application icon 5015-d to movie poster icon 5062-b and from movie poster icon 5062-a to application icon 5015-d) requires a longer stroke of the contact than moving the current focus between icons of the same type (e.g., moving the current focus from movie poster icon 5062-b to movie poster icon 5062-a). For example, to move the current focus from icon 5015-d to icon 5062-b, contact 5422, as shown in FIG. 5QQ, must be moved further than contact 5424, as shown in FIG. 5RR, must move the current focus from icon 5062-b to icon 5062-a.

[0216] In some embodiments, icons having rectangular shapes (e.g., movie poster icons 5062-a through 5062-c in FIG. 5RR) have different thresholds. For example, while the current focus is on a vertically oriented rectangular icon (e.g., icon 5062-b), the distance that contact must advance to move the current focus horizontally (e.g., from icon 5062-b to icon 5062-a) is less than the distance that contact must advance to move the current focus vertically (e.g., from icon 5062-b to an icon in region 5014, such as icon 5015-d, or from icon 5062-a to an icon in region 5014, such as icon 5015-d).

[0217] 5UU-5VV illustrate user interfaces that are displayed when inactivity criteria are met, according to some embodiments.

[0218] For example, if there is no input from remote control 5001 for a predetermined period of time (e.g., three minutes), the user interface shown in Figure 5UU is displayed. In Figure 5UU, the icon with the current focus (e.g., icon 5015-d) is visually distinguished from the rest of the user interface. For example, icon 5015-d is highlighted and / or the rest of the user interface is dimmed.

[0219] Alternatively, if there is no input from the remote control 5001 for a predetermined period of time (e.g., three minutes), the user interface shown in FIG. 5VV is displayed. In FIG. 5VV, the icon with the current focus (e.g., icon 5015-e) is further enlarged to visually distinguish it from the rest of the user interface. For example, the icon with the current focus is enlarged by 10% compared to other application icons before the inactivity criterion is met. Once the inactivity criterion is met, the icon with the current focus is enlarged by 20% or more compared to other application icons.

[0220] Figures 5WW-5XX show exemplary user interfaces that are displayed when the dark screen criteria are met (e.g., when no input is received by the remote control 5001 for a second predetermined period of time, such as 5 minutes, after the inactivity criteria are met).

[0221] In Figure 5WW, the entire user interface is dimmed, including the icon with the current focus. Figure 5XX shows an alternative user interface in which the entire user interface is replaced with a blank screen (e.g., a blank white screen, a blank black screen, or a blank screen of another color).

[0222] FIG. 5YY shows that the remote control 5001 is picked up and, in response to detecting that the remote control 5001 has been picked up, the home screen user interface 518 is displayed on the display 450.

[0223] 5ZZ-5ZZZ illustrate selection of media presentation options according to some embodiments.

[0224] FIG. 5ZZ shows that input 5428 (e.g., a tap gesture) is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 while the current focus is on movie poster icon 5062-a (e.g., a movie poster for a movie titled "The Great Crime").

[0225] FIG. 5AAA shows that, in response to input 5428, movies page view 5090 is displayed on display 450. Movies page view 5090 includes information about the movie "The Great Crime." Movies page view 5090 also includes multiple media source icons 5092-a through 5092-e. Each media source object corresponds to a respective media source (e.g., icon 5092-a corresponds to the "Movieflix" streaming service, icon 5092-b corresponds to the iTunes store, icon 5092-e corresponds to a television broadcaster, etc.). In FIG. 5AAA, media source icon 5092-a is visually distinguished (e.g., highlighted) to indicate that media source icon 5092-a is selected from among the media source icons.

[0226] Product page view 5090 also includes media management icons 5093-a through 5093-c (e.g., preview icon 5093-a, play icon 5093-b, and "View on Movieflix" icon 5093-c). In FIG. 5AAA, play icon 5093-b is visually distinguished (e.g., enlarged) to indicate that play icon 5093-b is selected from among the media management icons.

[0227] In some embodiments, the icons included in the work page view 5090 can be tilted as described above with respect to Figures 5A-5PP. When these icons are tilted, they exhibit a parallax effect. For the sake of brevity, these details are omitted here.

[0228] FIG. 5AAA also shows that input 5450 (eg, a tap gesture) is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0229] Figure 5BBB shows that in response to detecting input 5450, video playback view 5300 is displayed on display 450. As shown in Figures 5BBB-5DDD, video playback view 5300 includes a playback of the movie "The Great Crime."

[0230] FIG. 5DDD also shows that an input 5452 of pressing the menu button 5002 on the remote control 5001 is detected.

[0231] FIG. 5EEE shows that in response to input 5452, a works page view 5090 is displayed on display 450.

[0232] FIG. 5EEE also shows that movement of contact 5454 (eg, a right swipe gesture) is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0233] Figure 5FFF shows that the current focus moves from icon 5092-a to icon 5092-b in response to detecting a movement of contact 5454. Figure 5FFF also shows that the media management icons shown in Figure 5EEE are replaced with a different set of media management icons (e.g., icons 5093-a and 5093-c through 5093-f).

[0234] In FIG. 5FFF, movement of contact 5456 (eg, a right swipe gesture) is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0235] FIG. 5GGG shows that in response to movement of contact 5456, the current focus moves from icon 5092-b to icon 5092-a.

[0236] FIG. 5GGG also shows that input 5458 (eg, a tap gesture) is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0237] 5HHH shows that source selection interface 5098 is displayed on display 450 (e.g., source selection interface 5098 is overlaid on work page view 5090). Source selection interface 5098 includes media source objects that are not included in work page view 5090 (e.g., due to space limitations). For example, source selection interface 5098 in FIG. 5HHH includes additional media source icons 5098-a through 5098-c.

[0238] Figure 5III shows that the current focus is on media management icon 5093-c (e.g., "Browse on Movieflix"). Figure 5III also shows that input 5460 (e.g., a tap gesture) is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0239] Figure 5JJJ shows that in response to detecting input 5460, a title page 5064 of a different software application (e.g., a third party application by Movieflix, such as first video player module 392 in Figure 3) is displayed on display 450. Title page 506 in Figure 5JJJ includes icons 5068-a through 5068-d, with current focus on icon 5068-a (e.g., the "Watch Now" icon).

[0240] FIG. 5JJJ also shows input 5462 (eg, a tap gesture) on touch-sensitive surface 451 that initiates playback of a corresponding media content item (eg, the movie "The Great Crime"), as shown in FIGS. 5BBB-5DDD.

[0241] Figures 5KK-5LLL illustrate navigating from a search screen to movies page view 5090. Figure 5KK shows search page view 5066 with multiple search results. When input 5464 (e.g., a tap gesture) is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451, the current focus is on the movie "The Great Crime." Figure 5LLL shows that in response to input 5464, movies page view 5090 is displayed.

[0242] Figures 5MMM-5NNN illustrate navigating from a media content store view (e.g., the iTunes store page) to a works page view 5090. Figure 5MMM shows media content store view 5060 including multiple media content icons 5076-a through 5076-i, including media content icon 5076-b for the movie "The Great Crime." When input 5466 (e.g., a tap gesture) is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451, the current focus is on icon 5076-b. Figure 5NNN shows that in response to input 5466, works page view 5090 is displayed.

[0243] 5OOO-5ZZZ illustrate selection of media presentation options for a series (eg, a television program) according to some embodiments.

[0244] Figure 5OOO shows a productions page view 5091 for the television program "Sad Men." Productions page view 5091 in Figure 5OOO includes media source icons 5095-a through 5095-e and additional source icon 5095-f (corresponding to icon 5092-f in Figure 5GGG). In Figure 5OOO, the current focus is on icon 5095-a.

[0245] The works page view 5091 in FIG. 5OOO also includes media management icons 5096-a through 5096-c corresponding to icon 5095-a, and episode icons 5097-a through 5097-d corresponding to icon 5095-a (e.g., episode icons corresponding to episodes available from all available media sources).

[0246] In some embodiments, the icons included in the works page view 5091 can be tilted as described above with respect to Figures 5A-5PP. When these icons are tilted, they exhibit a parallax effect. For the sake of brevity, these details are omitted here.

[0247] FIG. 5OOO also shows that movement of contact 5468 (eg, a right swipe gesture) is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0248] FIG. 5PPP shows that in response to detecting a movement of contact 5468, the current focus moves from icon 5095-a to icon 5095-b, and media management icons 5096-a through 5096-c are replaced with media management icons 5096-d, 5096-e, 5096-b, 5096-f, and 5096-c, which correspond to media source icon 5095-b.

[0249] The production page view 5091 also includes pricing information 5099-a to 5099-c for each episode icon 5097-a to 5097-c.

[0250] FIG. 5PPP also shows that movement of contact 5470 (eg, a right swipe gesture) is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0251] Figure 5QQQ illustrates that the current focus moves from media source icon 5095-b to media source icon 5095-c in response to detecting a movement of contact 5470. The media management icons illustrated in Figure 5PPP (e.g., media management icons 5096-d, 5096-e, 5096-b, 5096-f, and 5096-c) are replaced with media management icons 5096-f, 5096-b, and 5096-c that correspond to media source icon 5095-c.

[0255] FIG. 5SSS shows that in response to the movement of contact 5474, the current focus moves to media management icon 5096-b.

[0256] FIG. 5SSS also shows that input 5476 (eg, a tap gesture) is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 while the current focus is on media management icon 5096-b.

[0257] 5TT shows that in response to input 5476, season selection interface 5498 is displayed (e.g., season selection interface 5498 is overlaid on productions page view 5091). Season selection interface 5498 includes season icons 5498-1 through 5498-5 that correspond to each available season of the television program.

[0258] FIG. 5TT also shows that movement of contact 5478 (eg, a swipe down gesture) is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0259] FIG. 5UUU shows that in response to movement of contact 5478, the current focus moves from series icon 5498-5 (corresponding to the fifth season) to series icon 5498-1 (corresponding to the first season).

[0260] FIG. 5UUU also shows that input 5480 (eg, a tap gesture) is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0261] Figure 5VVV shows that in response to input 5480, works page view 5091 is displayed. Season icon 5096-b in Figure 5VVV indicates that the first season is selected for the television program, and works page view 5091 includes episode icons 5097-e through 5097-h from the first season of the television program.

[0262] FIG. 5VVV also shows that movement of contact 5482 is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0263] Figure 5VVV shows that the current focus moves from icon 5096-b to icon 5096-a in response to the movement of contact 5482. Figure 5VVV also shows that input 5484 (e.g., a tap gesture) is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0264] FIG. 5XXX shows that in response to input 5484, a video playback view 5300 is displayed, which includes a playback of a television program.

[0265] 5YYY shows that when episode icon 5097-e is selected, input 5486 (e.g., a tap gesture) is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451. Price information 5099-e indicates that playing the episode corresponding to episode icon 5097-e requires a payment of $2.99.

[0266] Figure 5ZZZ shows that in response to input 5486, playback confirmation page 5094 is displayed (e.g., playback confirmation page 5094 is overlaid on production page view 5091). Playback confirmation page 5094 requests the user to confirm whether they wish to pay for playback of the selected episode. Once the user provides payment confirmation input, video playback view 5300, shown in Figure 5XXX, is displayed.

[0267] 5AAAA-5ZZZZ illustrate exemplary user interfaces for navigating through media content according to some embodiments.

[0268] Figure 5AAAA shows a video playback view 5300 displayed on display 450. Video playback view 5300 is a user interface that provides a view of a media item (e.g., a movie or television show) in a paused or playing state, and in some embodiments, video playback view 5300 provides a display of video information related to navigation of the media item. Figure 5AAAA shows the opening credits of a movie that are displayed during normal playback.

[0269] FIG. 5AAAAA also shows that user input 5154 (eg, a tap gesture) is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0270] Figure 5BBBB shows that in response to detecting user input 5154 (Figure 5AAAA), navigation elements such as scrubber bar 5302 and first playhead 5304 are displayed in video playback view 5300. For example, a light touch may be detected on touch-sensitive surface 451, and the elements shown in Figure 5BBBB may be displayed to inform the user of the approximate length of the movie and where the user is currently in the movie. In some embodiments, navigation elements such as scrubber bar 5302 and first playhead 5304 are displayed in response to detecting a tap-and-hold gesture or a swipe gesture on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0271] In some embodiments, in response to detecting user input 5154 (or a tap-and-hold gesture or a swipe gesture), the media item switches from a paused state to a playing state, or vice versa. Alternatively, the displayed media item continues playing regardless of user input 5154.

[0272] In some embodiments, total time text 5309 is also displayed to indicate the total time of the media items displayed in the video playback view 5300. In some embodiments, the scrubber bar 5302 represents a timeline of the total duration of the displayed media items. In some embodiments, the first playhead 5304 indicates a position within the scrubber bar 5302 that represents a point in time corresponding to a portion of the media items currently displayed in the video playback view 5300 (e.g., a single frame, a window of frames, or a window of a duration). In some embodiments, text is displayed along with the first playhead 5304 to indicate the corresponding time within the scrubber bar 5302. In some embodiments, in response to detecting a user input 5154, the displayed media items remain in a playing state, and the first playhead 5304 moves correspondingly along the scrubber bar 5302 in a smooth and continuous manner. Alternatively, in response to detecting a user input 5154, the displayed media items are paused, and the first playhead 5304 is stationary. In some embodiments, the scrubber bar 5302 is displayed as being at least partially transparent.

[0273] FIG. 5BBBB also shows detection of user input 5159 (eg, a tap gesture) on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0274] Figure 5CCCC indicates that the device is in continuous play navigation mode. In some embodiments, the device enters continuous play navigation mode in response to user input 5159 in Figure 5BBBB. Alternatively, the device enters continuous play navigation mode in response to user input 5154 in Figure 5AAAA (without user input 5154 or the user interface shown in Figure 5BBBB).

[0275] 5CCCC, additional navigation elements are displayed within the video playback view 5300 (e.g., second playhead 5308). In some embodiments, at any time, second playhead 5308, upon receiving a specific user input (corresponding to a request to move first playhead 5304 to the position of second playhead 5308), indicates a specific navigation position in the scrubber bar, which position first playhead 5304 is moved to. In some embodiments, second playhead text 5312 is displayed adjacent to second playhead 5308 (e.g., below second playhead 5308). In some embodiments, one or more text elements, such as second playhead text 5312 and / or total time text 5309, are displayed adjacent to second playhead 5308 (optionally within or overlaid on scrubber bar 5302).

[0276] 5CCCC, the second playhead 5308 is displayed with a preview pane 5310 adjacent to the second playhead 5308. The preview pane 5310 is optionally centered above or below the second playhead 5308. In some embodiments, the preview pane 5310 displays visual information corresponding to the position in the scrubber bar 5302 indicated by the second playhead 5308. For example, when the second playhead 5308 points to the 0:00:34 time position in the scrubber bar 5302, the preview pane 5310 displays the frame corresponding to the movie at that time.

[0277] In some embodiments, the video information corresponding to the preview pane 5310 includes at least a subset (e.g., a subset of frames) of the video information corresponding to the media items displayed in the video playback view 5300. For example, the preview pane 5310 provides snapshots of scenes in a movie that a user can skip through, while maintaining the display of the media items behind the preview pane. In some embodiments, in response to detecting a user input that results in the display of the preview pane 5310 and / or the second playhead marker 5308, the preview pane 5310 and / or the second playhead marker 5308 are initially displayed in the same position within the scrubber bar 5302 as the first playhead marker 5304, as shown in FIG.

[0278] In some embodiments, while the device is in continuous play navigation mode, the device moves the second playhead 5308 continuously (e.g., forward toward the end of the media item or backward toward the beginning of the media item). In some embodiments, the continuous movement of the second playhead 5308 corresponds to changing the time position corresponding to the second playhead 5308 by a predetermined time interval (e.g., every second, every few seconds, a fraction of a second, etc.). In some embodiments, while the device is in continuous play navigation mode, playback of the media item is paused. In some embodiments, the media item continues to play while the device is in continuous play navigation mode.

[0279] FIG. 5CCCC also shows detection of contact 5158-a of user input 5158 (eg, a right swipe gesture) on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0280] Figure 5DDDD illustrates the display of preview pane 5310, second playhead 5308, and second playhead text 5312 at new positions within scrubber bar 5302 in response to detecting user input 5158 (to contact point 5158-b). Figure 5DDDD also illustrates that the displayed media items within video playback view 5300 are continuously playing while navigation elements are displayed, as can be seen from the current scene depicted in Figure 5DDDD. Second playhead 5308, preview pane 5310, and second playhead text 5312 have been moved to the 0:28:59 mark within the media items displayed within video playback view 5300. From the example shown in Figure 5DDDD, the scene displayed within preview pane 5310 at the 0:28:59 mark reveals that Greg the goat is approaching the first peak of a mountain range, and the user can choose to skip directly to this exciting point in the movie, if desired. FIG. 5DDDD illustrates the detection of continuous movement of user input 5158 on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0281] FIG. 5EEEE shows the display of preview pane 5310, second playhead 5308, and second playhead text 5312 at a new position (e.g., 0:49:13) within scrubber bar 5302 in response to detecting user input 5158 (to contact point 5158-c).

[0282] Figure 5FFFF shows that preview pane 5310, second playhead 5308, and / or second playhead text 5312 remain on the display after no longer detecting user input (e.g., a touch on touch-sensitive surface 451 or a button press on remote control 5001). In some embodiments, preview pane 5310, second playhead 5308, and / or second playhead text 5312 are shown to have moved continuously from their positions in Figure 5CCCC to their positions in Figure 5FFFF (e.g., from 0:00:34 to 0:49:13). In some embodiments, preview pane 5310, second playhead 5308, and / or second playhead text 5312 appear to move incrementally through scrubber bar 5302 in response to detecting user input 5158 (Figures 5CCCC-5EEEE).

[0283] In some embodiments, the preview pane 5310, second playhead 5308, and / or second playhead text 5312 move according to the detected user input 5158. For example, the distance the preview pane 5310, second playhead 5308, and / or second playhead text 5312 move through the scrubber bar 5302 is proportional to the distance of the user input 5158. In another example, the displayed movement of the preview pane 5310, second playhead 5308, and / or second playhead text 5312 tracks its movement and pauses with the movement of the user input 5158. In some embodiments, the user input 5158 is a swipe gesture with a detected lift-off speed. In some embodiments, the preview pane 5310, the second playhead 5308, and / or the second playhead text 5312 continue to move through the scrubber bar 5302 according to the detected lift-off speed of the detected swipe gesture (e.g., until the swipe's "momentum" is exhausted).

[0284] Figure 5FFFF also shows two alternative user inputs 5159-1 (e.g., a tap gesture or a press-and-hold gesture) and 5159-2 (e.g., a swipe gesture) on touch-sensitive surface 451. These two alternative user inputs 5159-1 and 5159-2 are illustrated with Figure 5FFFF to facilitate understanding of certain operations of the device. However, these two alternative user inputs 5159-1 and 5159-2 do not need to be detected simultaneously.

[0285] In some embodiments, while preview pane 5310, second playhead 5308, and / or second playhead text 5312 are displayed, user input is detected in a subregion (e.g., user input 5159-1 in subregion 5208-i of touch-sensitive surface 451), and in response, preview pane 5310, second playhead 5308, and / or second playhead text 5312 move forward or backward along scrubber bar 5302. For example, in response to user input detected in sub-area 5208-c, 5208-f, or 5208-i, preview pane 5310, second playhead 5308, and second playhead text 5312 move forward in time along scrubber bar 5302, and in response to user input detected in sub-area 5208-a, 5208-d, or 5208-g, preview pane 5310, second playhead 5308, and second playhead text 5312 move backward in time along scrubber bar 5302. In some embodiments, in response to user input detected in subregion 5208-c, 5208-f, or 5208-i, preview pane 5310, second playhead 5308, and second playhead text 5312 move forward in time along scrubber bar 5302 while user input is detected in subregion 5208-c, 5208-f, or 5208-i, and in response to user input detected in subregion 5208-a, 5208-d, or 5208-g, preview pane 5310, second playhead 5308, and second playhead text 5312 move backward in time along scrubber bar 5302 while user input is detected in subregion 5208-a, 5208-d, or 5208-g. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5FFFF, a visual indicator 5319 (e.g., a clockwise arrow) is displayed adjacent to the preview pane 5310 (e.g., to the right of the preview pane 5310) to indicate that a click (or tap gesture) on sub-region 5208-c, 5208-f, or 5208-i will begin to move the second playhead 5308, the preview pane 5310, and / or the text 5312 of the second playhead forward.In some embodiments, another visual indicator (e.g., a counterclockwise arrow) is displayed adjacent to preview pane 5310 (e.g., to the left of preview pane 5310) (in addition to or instead of visual indicator 5319) to indicate that a click (or tap gesture) on sub-region 5208-a, 5208-d, or 5208-g will begin to move backward through second playhead 5308, preview pane 5310, and / or second playhead text 5312.

[0286] Alternatively, user input 5159-2 (e.g., a right swipe gesture) on touch-sensitive surface 451 begins to move second playhead 5308 (and, optionally, preview pane 5310 and / or second playhead text 5312) forward in accordance with user input 5159-2.

[0287] FIG. 5GGGG shows that in response to user input 5159-1 (e.g., a tap gesture or press-and-hold gesture on sub-region 5208-i) or user input 5159-2 (e.g., a right swipe gesture), preview pane 5310, second playhead 5308, and / or second playhead text 5312 move forward in time along scrubber bar 5302.

[0288] Figure 5HHHH shows that in some embodiments, preview pane 5310, second playhead 5308, and / or second playhead text 5312 continue to move along scrubber bar 5302 even when no user input is detected (e.g., due to inertia from a swipe gesture such as user input 5159-2 shown in Figure 5FFFF). In some embodiments, preview pane 5310, second playhead 5308, and / or second playhead text 5312 continue to move along scrubber bar 5302 in response to the detection of a particular type of user input (e.g., a swipe gesture as shown in Figure 5FFFF). In some embodiments, preview pane 5310, second playhead 5308, and / or second playhead text 5312 move at a speed corresponding to user input 5159-2 when user input 5159-2 is no longer detected (e.g., due to liftoff of contact of user input 5159-2), and slow down as they move along scrubber bar 5302 while no user input is detected. In some embodiments, preview pane 5310, second playhead 5308, and / or second playhead text 5312 continue to move along scrubber bar 5302 until another user input, such as user input 5190 (FIG. 5HHHH), is detected or one edge of scrubber bar 5302 is reached.

[0289] Figure 5III illustrates that, in some embodiments, when the preview pane 5310, second playhead 5308, and / or second playhead text 5312 approach one edge of the scrubber bar 5302, the preview pane 5310 (and possibly the second playhead text 5312) stops moving (e.g., at the point where one edge of the preview pane 5310 appears to reach the edge of the video playback view 5300). In some embodiments, even after the preview pane 5310 stops moving, the second playhead 5308 continues to move, and the displayed content of the preview pane 5310 continues to change according to the position of the second playhead 5308 along the scrubber bar 5302 indicated by the second playhead 5308, as shown in Figure 5III. In some embodiments, when the second playhead text 5312 gets too close to the total time text 5309, the total time text 5309 ceases to be displayed and the second playhead text 5312 occupies the space in the video playback view 5300 where the total time text 5309 was displayed, as shown in Figures 5HHHH and 5III.

[0290] FIG. 5III also illustrates detection of user input 5192 (eg, a left swipe gesture) beginning with contact 5192-a on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0291] 5JJJJ shows that, in response to detecting user input 5192 (to contact point 5192-b), preview pane 5310, second playhead 5308, and / or second playhead text 5312 are rewound or moved accordingly toward the beginning of the displayed movie. In some embodiments, total time text 5309 reappears after second playhead text 5312 ceases to occupy the space in video playback view 5300 where total time text 5309 would typically be displayed.

[0292] Figure 5KKKK illustrates further progression to the left of the navigation element in Figure 5JJJJ. Figure 5KKKK also illustrates detection of user input 5193 (e.g., a tap gesture) on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0293] FIG. 5LLLL shows that in response to detecting user input 5193 (FIG. 5KKKK), preview pane 5310, second playhead 5308, and / or second playhead text 5312 stop moving.

[0294] FIG. 5LLL also shows that user input 5194 (e.g., a downward swipe) is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0295] Figure 5MMMM shows the device entering chapter playback navigation mode in response to detecting user input 5194 (Figure 5LLLL). In Figure 5MMMM, a playback position marker 5314 is displayed in the scrubber 5302. In some embodiments, the playback position marker 5314 represents a predetermined milestone or position within the media item displayed in the video playback view 5300 (e.g., a chapter). In some embodiments, the scrubber 5302, first playhead 5304 (and optionally second playhead 5308) remain on the display after the device switches from continuous play navigation mode to chapter playback navigation mode.

[0296] Figure 5MMMM also shows two alternative user inputs 5199-1 (e.g., a tap gesture or a press-and-hold gesture on subregions 5208-c, 5208-f, or 5208-i) and 5199-2 (e.g., a right swipe gesture) on touch-sensitive surface 451. To facilitate understanding of certain operations of the device, these two alternative user inputs 5199-1 and 5199-2 are shown together in Figure 5MMMM. However, these two alternative user inputs 5199-1 and 5199-2 do not need to be detected simultaneously.

[0297] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5MMMM, a visual indicator 5318 is displayed adjacent to the preview pane 5310 (e.g., to the right of the preview pane 5310) to indicate that a click (or tap gesture) on sub-region 5208-c, 5208-f, or 5208-i will begin to move the second playhead 5308, the preview pane 5310, and / or the second playhead's text 5312 forward.

[0298] 5NNNN shows that in response to detecting user input 5199-1 or 5199-2, preview pane 5310, second playhead 5308, and / or second playhead text 5312 move to the nearest playback position marker 5314-b in the direction represented by the detected user input. For example, in response to right swipe gesture 5199-2 or tap gesture 5199-1 on a right subregion of touch-sensitive surface 451 (e.g., subregions 5208-c, 5208-f, or 5208-i shown in FIG. 5MMMM), second playhead 5308 moves to the nearest playback position marker 5314-b to the right of the current position of second playhead 5308. In some embodiments, second playhead 5308 jumps directly to the position of nearest playback position marker 5314-b.

[0299] Figure 5NNNN also illustrates the detection of two alternative user inputs 5198-1 (e.g., a tap gesture or a press-and-hold gesture on subregions 5208-a, 5208-d, or 5208-g) and 5198-2 (e.g., a left swipe gesture) on touch-sensitive surface 451. To facilitate understanding of certain operations of the device, these two alternative user inputs 5198-1 and 5198-2 are shown together in Figure 5NNNN. However, these two alternative user inputs 5198-1 and 5198-2 do not need to be detected simultaneously.

[0300] 5NNNN, visual indicator 5320 (in addition to or instead of visual indicator 5318) is displayed adjacent to preview pane 5310 (e.g., to the left of preview pane 5310) to indicate that a click (or tap gesture) on subregion 5208-a, 5208-d, or 5208-g will begin moving backward through second playhead 5308, preview pane 5310, and / or second playhead text 5312. In some embodiments, visual indicator 5318 (e.g., the fast-forward icon shown in FIG. 5MMMM) is displayed pursuant to a determination that there is touch input on the right side (e.g., the right half) of touch-sensitive surface 451, and visual indicator 5320 (e.g., the reverse icon shown in FIG. 5NNNN) is displayed pursuant to a determination that there is touch input on the left side (e.g., the left half) of touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0301] Figure 5OOOO shows that in response to detecting user input 5198-1 or 5198-2, preview pane 5310, second playhead 5308, and / or second playhead text 5312 move from one playback position marker 5314-b to playback position marker 5314-a that is closest in the direction represented by the detected user input. For example, in response to a left swipe gesture or a tap gesture on the left subregion of touch-sensitive surface 451 (e.g., subregions 5208-a, 5208-d, or 5208-g shown in Figure 5FFFF), second playhead 5308 moves to playback position marker 5314-a.

[0302] FIG. 5000 also illustrates the detection of user input 5170 (eg, a button press on menu button 5002).

[0303] 5PPPP-5SSSS show exemplary animations displayed in response to user input 5170. The animations show the disappearance of scrubber 5302, first playhead 5304, second playhead 5308, preview pane 5310, second playhead text 5312, and playback position marker 5314. In some embodiments, in response to detecting a user input corresponding to a command to exit chapter navigation mode (e.g., user input 5170), one or more navigation elements are immediately removed from display in video playback view 5300 (e.g., without animation). In some embodiments, in response to detecting a user input corresponding to a command to exit chapter navigation mode, one or more navigation elements remain displayed (e.g., scrubber 5302, first playhead 5304) until preview pane 5310 is completely removed from display.

[0304] FIG. 5SSSS also illustrates the detection of user input 5172 (eg, a tap gesture) on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0305] 5TT shows the device entering continuous play navigation mode in response to user input 5172. Alternatively or additionally, the device enters continuous play navigation mode in response to detecting a swipe gesture or a tap-and-hold gesture on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0306] FIG. 5TTTT also shows that user input 5173 (eg, a downward swipe gesture) is subsequently detected on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0307] FIG. 5UUUU shows that in response to detecting user input 5173, the device enters chapter playback navigation mode.

[0308] FIG. 5UUUU also shows that user input 5174 (eg, an upward swipe gesture) is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0309] FIG. 5VVVV shows that in response to detecting user input 5174, the device enters continuous play navigation mode.

[0310] FIG. 5VVVV also illustrates the detection of user input 5175 (eg, a right swipe gesture) on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0311] 5WWWW shows that in response to detecting user input 5175, preview pane 5310, secondary playhead 5308, and secondary playhead text 5312 have moved to a particular location within scrubber bar 5302 that corresponds to the 1:01:44 mark in the paused movie. Preview pane 5310 shows clips of dramatic scenes as Greg the Goat approaches the ultimate challenge on his journey home.

[0312] FIG. 5WWW also shows that user input 5179 (eg, a tap gesture) is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0313] FIG. 5XXXX illustrates that, in response to detecting a user input (e.g., user input 5179 shown in FIG. 5WWWW), first playhead 5304 jumps to the position (in time) indicated by second playhead 5308. In some embodiments, after first playhead 5304 jumps to the position indicated by second playhead 5308, one or more navigation elements (e.g., second playhead 5308, preview pane 5310, and / or second playhead text 5312) cease to display within video playback view 5300. In some embodiments, first playhead 5304 and scrubber bar 5302 also cease to display after first playhead 5304 jumps to the position indicated by second playhead 5308. In some embodiments, navigation elements cease to display after one or more inactivity criteria are met (e.g., a predetermined amount of time has elapsed since the detection of the last user input or the detection of remote controller 5001 being placed on a flat surface). In some embodiments, the navigation element ceases displaying in response to detecting a user input 5178 (eg, a tap-and-hold gesture).

[0314] 5YYYY shows that the navigation elements cease to display and the device enters normal playback mode. While the device is in normal playback mode, the playback view 5300 displays the playback of the media item.

[0315] In some embodiments, navigation of displayed media items is possible during normal playback mode even though navigation elements are not displayed in video playback view 5300 (e.g., a scrubber bar, playhead, or time text is not displayed in video playback view 5300). Figure 5YYYY also illustrates detection of user input 5180 (e.g., a click, tap, or press-and-hold gesture) in subregion 5208-f on touch-sensitive surface 451.

[0316] Figure 5ZZZZ shows that the display of media items in video playback view 5300 has been shifted forward or fast-forwarded by a predetermined amount of time in response to detecting user input 5180. For example, user input 5180 is a click press on the right half of touch-sensitive surface 451, causing the device to skip playback of the media items by a predetermined amount of time (e.g., 10, 30, or 90 seconds) showing Greg the goat traversing a large peak in a mountain range a predetermined time after the scene depicted in Figure 5YYYY.

[0317] 6A-6C show a flow diagram of a method 600 for providing an interactive screensaver, according to some embodiments. Method 600 is performed on an electronic device (e.g., device 300 of FIG. 3 or portable multifunction device 100 of FIG. 1A) in communication with a display, and in some embodiments, a touch-sensitive surface. In some embodiments, the display is a touchscreen display, and the touch-sensitive surface is on or integrated with the display. In some embodiments, the display is separate from the touch-sensitive surface. Some operations of method 600 are optionally combined, and / or the order of some operations is optionally changed.

[0318] As described below, method 600 provides an intuitive way to interact with a screensaver. This method reduces the cognitive burden on the user when interacting with the screensaver, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-powered electronic devices, allowing the user to interact with the screensaver to obtain additional information faster and more efficiently conserves power and extends the time between battery charges.

[0319] While the device is operating in screen saver mode, the device provides for presentation on the display (602) a first media (item) including a first visual motion effect (e.g., a still image or a first pan and / or zoom effect in a first video playback, such as a (slow) zoom in on a first scene showing a zoom effect on an image of a bridge, as shown in FIGS. 5B-5D). In some embodiments, the first media item corresponds to a first still image with the first pan and / or zoom effect applied.

[0320] While the display is presenting the first media including the first visual motion effect, the device receives user input at a remote user input device (e.g., contact 5401 in FIG. 5D ) (604). In response to receiving the user input at the remote user input device, the device determines a type of user input at the remote user input device (606).

[0321] Pursuant to determining that the user input at the remote user input device is a first type of user input (e.g., resting a finger on the touch-sensitive surface of the remote control represented by contact 5401 in FIG. 5D or lifting the remote control from a resting position), the device provides (608) data for presenting the first media on the display including a second visual motion effect (e.g., a second pan and / or zoom effect on the still image, rewinding the first video, or a (slow) zoom out on the first scene) without exiting screen saver mode, as shown in FIGS. 5D-5F . The second visual motion effect is separate from the first visual motion effect. In some embodiments, the direction of the second pan and / or zoom is changed in response to the user input at the remote input device (e.g., the direction of the user input on the touch-sensitive surface of the remote control). In some embodiments, the second pan and / or zoom effect includes changing the playback speed of the first media (e.g., playing the video more slowly or faster).

[0322] Pursuant to determining that the user input at the remote user input device is a second type of user input distinct from the first type (e.g., pressing a menu button on a remote control), the device exits 610 screen saver mode (e.g., in FIG. 5P, input 5407 of pressing menu button 5002 initiates exiting screen saver mode).

[0323] In some embodiments, after determining that the user input is of the first type, while the display is presenting the first media including the second visual motion effect, the device determines (612) that the user input of the first type is no longer detected at the remote user input device, and in response to determining that the user input of the first type is no longer detected at the remote user input device, the device provides data to the display for presenting the media including the first visual motion effect (e.g., resuming playback of the first video from the time the user input of the first type was no longer detected at the remote user input device, or displaying another video separate from the first video with the first pan and / or zoom effect at the time the user input of the first type was no longer detected at the remote user input device). For example, when contact 5401 is no longer detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 as shown in FIG. 5F, the first visual motion effect (e.g., zooming in) is resumed as shown in FIGS. 5F-5H.

[0324] In some embodiments, in response to receiving user input at the remote user input device, following a determination that the user input at the remote user input device is a third type of user input (e.g., a tap gesture on a touch-sensitive surface of a remote control), the device provides data for presenting the first media on the display, including the first visual motion effect along with corresponding descriptive text (FIG. 6B, 614). (E.g., tap gesture 5405 in FIG. 5L initiates the display of text describing the first media item, such as metadata including information about where and / or when the first media was captured, as shown in FIG. 5M.)

[0325] In some embodiments, in response to receiving user input at the remote user input device, following a determination that the user input at the remote user input device is a fourth type of user input (e.g., right swipe gesture 5406 in FIG. 5N), the device provides (616) data to the display to replace the first media (item) including the first visual motion effect with a second media (e.g., a next video in the same collection or another collection) selected from among a plurality of media including a third visual motion effect (e.g., a third pan and / or zoom effect). For example, in FIG. 5O, an image of a beach is displayed in place of the image of a bridge. The image of the beach is displayed with a pan and zoom effect, while the image of the bridge is displayed with only a zoom effect. In some embodiments, the third visual motion effect is distinct from the first visual motion effect (e.g., the third pan and / or zoom effect is distinct from the first pan and / or zoom effect). In some embodiments, the third visual motion effect corresponds to the first visual motion effect (e.g., the third pan and / or zoom effect corresponds to the first pan and / or zoom effect). In some embodiments, the second media corresponds to a second still image with a third pan and / or zoom effect applied. In some embodiments, the plurality of media (or images) are stored on the electronic device.

[0326] In some examples, pan and / or zoom effects are applied to corresponding still images selected from the plurality of still images to form the first video. In some embodiments, in response to receiving user input at the remote user input device, pursuant to determining that the user input at the remote user input device is a particular type of user input (e.g., a right swipe), the device provides, on the display, data to replace the presentation of the first still image including the first pan and / or zoom effect with a presentation of a second still image selected from the plurality of still images (e.g., a next still image in the same or another collection of still images), where the presentation of the second still image includes a third visual motion effect (e.g., a third pan and / or zoom effect).

[0327] In some embodiments, in response to receiving user input at the remote user input device, following a determination that the user input at the remote user input device is a fifth type of user input (e.g., lifting a remote control as shown in FIG. 5K), the device provides (618) data for presenting a first media on a display, the first media including a first visual motion effect along with information indicating the current time and / or date (e.g., the current time and / or date 5010 in text as shown in FIG. 5L, or one or more symbols indicating the current time and / or date, such as an image of a clock).

[0328] In some embodiments, the electronic device enters (620) a screen saver mode in response to a determination that one or more screen saver activation conditions are met, while one or more screen saver activation conditions are met in response to a determination that the remote user input device is stationary (e.g., for a predetermined period of time). In some embodiments, one or more screen saver activation conditions are met in response to a determination that the remote user input device is placed on a stationary surface.

[0329] In some embodiments, in response to receiving user input at the remote user input device, in response to determining that the user input at the remote user input device is a sixth type of user input (e.g., dragging a finger in a first direction on a touch-sensitive surface of the remote user input device), the device alters (622) the visual motion effect for presenting the first media on the display. For example, in response to a swipe down gesture on the touch-sensitive surface of the remote user input device (moving contact 5403 shown in FIG. 5I), the first still image is presented with a zoom-in effect such that the first still image appears as if it is moving backwards on the display, as shown in FIG. 5J.

[0330] In some embodiments, in response to receiving user input at the remote user input device and following a determination that the user input at the remote user input device is a second type of user input, the device provides, on the display, data for replacing the first media including the first visual motion effect with a user interface (e.g., home screen user interface 5018 in FIG. 5Q) having a plurality of objects (624, FIG. 6C), the plurality of objects including a first object (e.g., icon 5015-a) and a second object (e.g., icon 5015-b) adjacent to the first object on the display, with current focus on the first object of the plurality of objects (e.g., in FIG. 5Q, the current focus is on icon 5015-a).

[0331] In some embodiments, providing data for presenting the first media including the first visual motion effect on the display includes providing data for presenting playback of the first video on the display. In some embodiments, in response to determining that the user input at the remote user input device is a seventh type of user input, the device changes (629) the playback direction of the first video in accordance with the user input (e.g., in response to the left swipe gesture shown in FIG. 5H , the playback direction is changed from zoom to zoom out).

[0332] It should be understood that the particular order described for the operations in Figures 6A-6C is merely exemplary, and that the described order is not intended to indicate the only order in which the operations may be performed. Those skilled in the art will recognize various ways to reorder the operations described herein. In addition, it should be noted that other process details described herein with respect to other methods described herein (e.g., methods 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, and 1200) are also applicable in a similar manner to method 600 described above in connection with Figures 6A-6C. For example, the user interface and user input described above with reference to method 600 optionally have one or more of the user interface and user input features described herein with reference to other methods described herein (e.g., methods 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, and 1200). For the sake of brevity, these details will not be repeated here.

[0333] 7A-7C show a flow diagram of a method 700 for moving the current focus on a user interface object, according to some embodiments. Method 700 is performed on an electronic device (e.g., device 300 of FIG. 3 or portable multifunction device 100 of FIG. 1A) in communication with a display, and in some embodiments, a touch-sensitive surface. In some embodiments, the display is a touchscreen display, and the touch-sensitive surface is on or integrated with the display. In some embodiments, the display is separate from the touch-sensitive surface. Some operations of method 700 are optionally combined, and / or the order of some operations is optionally changed.

[0334] As described below, method 700 provides an intuitive way to move current focus on a user interface object. This method reduces the cognitive burden on the user when moving current focus, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated electronic devices, allowing users to move current focus faster and more efficiently conserves power and extends the time between battery charges.

[0335] In some embodiments, the electronic device provides data (e.g., instructions, video signals, image files, or other information) to a display for presenting user input with a plurality of user interface objects (702). In some embodiments, the plurality of user interface objects are displayed on the display in a scrollable two-dimensional array. In some embodiments, the user interface objects are application icons, channel icons, content icons, or content group icons that, when activated (e.g., with a tap gesture, pressing a select button, a voice command, etc.), cause the display to display the corresponding application, channel, content, or content group. The plurality of user interface objects include a first user interface object and a second user interface object adjacent to the first user interface object on the display. In some embodiments, there is a gap between adjacent user interface objects. In some embodiments, the gap between adjacent user interface objects narrows as one user interface object moves toward the other user interface object. In some embodiments, the gap between adjacent user interface objects disappears as one user interface object moves toward the other user interface object. Current focus is on a first user interface object of the plurality of user interface objects, and in some embodiments, while current focus is on the corresponding user interface object, the corresponding user interface object is visually distinguished from other user interface objects of the plurality of user interface objects.

[0336] While the display is presenting the user interface, the electronic device receives a first input corresponding to a request to move the current focus of the user interface (e.g., receives input corresponding to a gesture on the touch-sensitive surface in communication with the electronic device, activation of a button in communication with the device, and / or a voice command) (704). In some embodiments, the touch-sensitive surface or button is integral with the electronic device. In some embodiments, the touch-sensitive surface or button is separate from the electronic device.

[0337] In response to receiving a first input corresponding to a request to move the current focus in the user interface, the electronic device may cause the display to: move the first user interface object from a first position (e.g., an initial position of the first user interface object on the display relative to the positions of other objects of the plurality of objects surrounding the first user interface object on the display) toward the second user interface object; and / or tilt the first user interface object from a first orientation (e.g., an initial orientation of the first user interface object as visually presented on the surface of the display) toward the second user interface object (e.g., icon 5015-a is moved and / or tilted toward icon 5015-b, as shown in Figures 5CC, 5FF, 5GG, and 5II); After moving the first user interface object from the first position toward the second user interface object and / or tilting the first user interface object toward the second user interface object, data is provided (706) to move the current focus from the first user interface object to the second user interface object (e.g., as shown in FIGS. 5DD and 5HH, the current focus moves from icon 5015-a to icon 5015-b), and to move the first user interface object back toward the first position and / or tilt the first user interface object back toward the first direction (e.g., as shown in FIGS. 5DD and 5HH, icon 5015-a moves and tilts back after moving the current focus from icon 5015-a to icon 5015-b). In some embodiments, the first user interface object returns to the first position (e.g., icon 5015-a moves back after moving the current focus to icon 5015-b). In some embodiments, the first user interface object returns to the first orientation (eg, icon 5015-a tilts back after the current focus moves to icon 5015-b).

[0338] In some embodiments, in response to receiving a first input corresponding to a request to move the current focus in the user interface, the electronic device provides data to the display to decrease the size of the first user interface object on the display and increase the size of the second user interface object on the display (e.g., as shown in FIGS. 5BB-5DD, after the current focus moves from icon 5015-a to icon 5015-b, icon 5015-a decreases in size and icon 5015-b increases in size) (708). In some embodiments, each user interface object of the plurality of user interface objects is displayed at a corresponding first size when the current focus is not on the corresponding user interface object, and each user interface object is displayed at a corresponding second size that is larger than the corresponding first size when the current focus is on the corresponding user interface object (e.g., while the current focus is on the first user interface object, the first user interface object is displayed at a corresponding second size and the second user interface object is displayed at a corresponding first size). The increased sizes of the corresponding user interface objects indicate that the current focus is on the corresponding user interface object.

[0339] In some embodiments, the name (or other descriptor) of a first user interface object is displayed on or adjacent to the first interface object while the current focus is on the first user interface object. In response to receiving a first input corresponding to a request to move the current focus in the user interface, the electronic device provides (710) data to the display to stop displaying the name of the first user interface object and display the name of the second user interface object on or adjacent to the second interface object while the current focus is on the second user interface object. For example, as shown in FIGS. 5BB-5DD, when the current focus is on icon 5015-a, the name of icon 5015-a is displayed below icon 5015-a. When the current focus moves from icon 5015-a to icon 5015-b, the name of icon 5015-a is removed and the name of icon 5015-b is displayed below icon 5015-b. In some embodiments, each user interface object of the plurality of user interface objects is displayed with a name or other descriptor on or adjacent to the corresponding user interface object when the current focus is on the corresponding user interface object, and each user interface object is displayed without a name or other descriptor on or adjacent to the corresponding user interface object when the current focus is not on the corresponding user interface object (e.g., a second user interface object is displayed without a name on or adjacent to a first user interface object while the current focus is on the first user interface object). The presence of a name for each user interface object indicates that the current focus is on the corresponding user interface object.

[0340] In some embodiments, a first user interface object includes graphics in two or more overlapping layers arranged in z-order, with each layer offset on the display in response to tilting of the first user interface object (e.g., as shown in FIGS. 5MM-5NN, icon 5015-e includes two or more layers of images arranged in z-order, with each layer offset on the display to provide a parallax effect) (712, FIG. 7B). In some embodiments, each user interface object (e.g., an icon corresponding to particular content such as a movie, television show, video, or album) includes graphics in two or more overlapping layers. In some embodiments, the two or more overlapping layers are arranged in z-order (also referred to as front-to-back ordering). The layers are offset on the display as each user interface object is tilted (e.g., in response to input that moves the current focus on the display) to create a parallax effect for the graphics in each user interface object's layer.

[0341] In some embodiments, the first user interface object includes one or more reflections, and the one or more reflections change in response to tilting the first user interface object (714). In some embodiments, each user interface object (e.g., an icon corresponding to particular content) includes a reflection that shifts, moves, or changes as the corresponding user interface object tilts (e.g., in response to input that moves the current focus on the display). For example, FIG. 5R shows a reflection for user interface object 5105-a. The reflection moves as object 5105-a tilts / rotates about its pitch axis (e.g., the x-axis in FIG. 5R).

[0342] In some embodiments, the first user interface object includes one or more colors, and the one or more colors change in response to tilting the first user interface object (716). In some embodiments, each user interface object (e.g., an icon corresponding to particular content) includes a color that changes as the corresponding user interface object is tilted (e.g., in response to an input that moves the current focus on the display). In some embodiments, the color of the user interface object changes as the object is tilted / rotated about a roll axis (e.g., the y-axis). In some embodiments, for each user interface object, a virtual reflection of the object moves as the object is tilted / rotated about a first axis (e.g., the x-axis), and one or more colors for the object change as the object is tilted / rotated about a second axis (e.g., the y-axis).

[0343] In some embodiments, as the speed at which the current focus moves from the first user interface object to the second user interface object increases, the magnitude of the movement of the first user interface object toward the second user interface object decreases 718. For example, if the current focus moves quickly from icon 5015-b to icon 5015-e, the magnitude of the movement of each user interface object between icon 5015-b and icon 5015-e decreases (to allow them to return to their original positions more quickly), as shown in FIG.

[0344] In some embodiments, as the speed at which the current focus moves from the first user interface object to the second user interface object increases, the magnitude of the tilt of the first user interface object toward the second user interface object decreases 720. For example, if the current focus moves quickly from icon 5015-b to icon 5015-e, the magnitude of the movement of each user interface object between icon 5015-b and icon 5015-e decreases (to allow them to return to their original positions more quickly), as shown in FIG.

[0345] In some embodiments, moving the current focus from a first user interface object to a second user interface object in response to receiving the first input is done without (sequentially) moving the user interface object from the first user interface object to the second user interface object (722). In some embodiments, when the current focus moves from a corresponding user interface object to an adjacent user interface object, there is no movement of a cursor, focus selection ring, or other user interface object from the corresponding user interface object to the adjacent user interface object. In some embodiments, when the current focus moves across a series of adjacent user interface objects, the cursor, focus selection ring, or other user interface object does not move across the series of adjacent user interface objects.

[0346] In some embodiments, while the current focus is on a user interface object, the electronic device receives a second input corresponding to a request to move the current focus of the user interface (e.g., moving contact 5409 on touch-sensitive surface 451 of remote control 5001, activating a button to communicate with the device, and / or receiving a voice command, as shown in FIG. 5V) (724, FIG. 7C). In response to receiving a second input corresponding to a request to move the current focus in the user interface, the electronic device provides data to the display to move the second user interface object from a second position (e.g., an initial position of the second user interface object on the display relative to the positions of other objects among the plurality of objects surrounding the second user interface object on the display) toward a third user interface object adjacent to the second user interface object and / or tilt the second user interface object from a second direction (e.g., an initial direction of the second user interface object as visually represented on the surface of the display, similar to the first direction for the first user interface object) toward the third user interface object (e.g., icon 5015-b is tilted toward icon 5015-c as shown in FIG. 5W).After moving the second user interface object from the second position toward the third user interface object and / or tilting the second user interface object toward the third user interface object, the electronic device moves the current focus from the second user interface object to the third user interface object (e.g., as shown in FIG. 5X, the current focus moves from icon 5015-b to icon 5015-c), and moves the second user interface object back to the second position and / or tilts the second user interface object back in the second direction (e.g., as shown in FIG. 5X, after the current focus moves from icon 5015-b to icon 5015-c, icon 5015-b returns to its original position and orientation). In some embodiments, the second user interface object returns to the second position. In some embodiments, the second user interface object returns to the second direction. In some embodiments, the steps of moving and / or tilting each object with the current focus toward an adjacent object, moving the current focus to the adjacent object, and moving and / or tilting each object back to its original position and / or orientation can be repeated multiple times in response to a single input corresponding to a request to move the current focus.

[0347] In some embodiments, while the current focus is on the third user interface object, the electronic device receives (726) a third input (e.g., receiving a movement of contact 5410 on touch-sensitive surface 451 of remote control 5001, as shown in FIGS. 5Y-5Z). In response to receiving the third input, the electronic device provides to the display data to move the third user interface object from a third position (e.g., an initial position of the third user interface object on the display relative to the positions of other objects of the plurality of objects surrounding the third user interface object on the display) toward a fourth user interface object adjacent to the third user interface object and / or tilt the third user interface object from a third orientation (e.g., an initial orientation of the third user interface object as visually represented on the surface of the display, similar to the first orientation for the first user interface object) toward the fourth user interface object (e.g., icon 5015-c is tilted toward icon 5015-d, as shown in FIG. 5Z). After moving the third user interface object from the third position toward the fourth user interface object and / or tilting the third user interface object toward the fourth user interface object, the electronic device may maintain current focus on the third user interface object and move the third user interface object back to the third position and / or tilt the third user interface object back in the third direction (e.g., as shown in FIG. 5AA, current focus remains on icon 5015-c and icon 5015-c returns to its original position and orientation). In some embodiments, the third user interface object returns to the third position. In some embodiments, the third user interface object returns to the third direction.In some embodiments, if the input (e.g., here the third input) is not sufficient to move the current focus from the corresponding user interface object to the adjacent user interface object, the corresponding user interface object moves and / or tilts towards the adjacent user interface object and then moves and / or tilts back to its original position and / or orientation to indicate that the input was not sufficient to move the current focus from the corresponding user interface object to the adjacent user interface object and that the current focus remains on the corresponding user interface object.

[0348] It should be understood that the particular order described for the operations in Figures 7A-7C is merely exemplary, and that the described order is not intended to indicate the only order in which the operations may be performed. Those skilled in the art will recognize various ways of reordering the operations described herein. In addition, it should be noted that other process details described herein with respect to other methods described herein (e.g., methods 600, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, and 1200) are also applicable in a similar manner to method 700 described above in connection with Figures 7A-7C. For example, the user interface, user input, and tilt and / or movement of user interface objects described above with reference to method 700 optionally have one or more of the characteristics of the user interface, user input, and tilt and / or movement of user interface objects described herein with reference to other methods described herein (e.g., methods 600, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, and 1200). For the sake of brevity, these details will not be repeated here.

[0349] 8A-8C show a flow diagram of a method 800 for moving the current focus on a user interface object according to some embodiments. Method 800 is performed on an electronic device (e.g., device 300 of FIG. 3 or portable multifunction device 100 of FIG. 1A) in communication with a display, and in some embodiments, a touch-sensitive surface. In some embodiments, the display is a touchscreen display, and the touch-sensitive surface is on or integrated with the display. In some embodiments, the display is separate from the touch-sensitive surface. Some operations of method 800 are optionally combined, and / or the order of some operations is optionally changed.

[0350] As described below, method 800 provides an intuitive way to move current focus on a user interface object. This method reduces the cognitive burden on the user when moving current focus, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated electronic devices, allowing users to move current focus faster and more efficiently conserves power and extends the time between battery charges.

[0351] In some embodiments, the electronic device provides data (e.g., instructions, video signals, image files, or other information) to a display for presenting user input with a plurality of user interface objects (802). In some embodiments, the plurality of user interface objects are displayed on the display in a scrollable two-dimensional array. In some embodiments, the user interface objects are application icons, channel icons, content icons, or content group icons that, when activated (e.g., with a tap gesture, pressing a select button, a voice command, etc.), cause the display to display the corresponding application, channel, content, or content group. The plurality of user interface objects include a first user interface object and a second user interface object adjacent to the first user interface object on the display. In some embodiments, there is a gap between adjacent user interface objects. In some embodiments, the gap between adjacent user interface objects narrows as one user interface object moves toward the other user interface object. In some embodiments, the gap between adjacent user interface objects disappears as one user interface object moves toward the other user interface object. The current focus is on a first object of the plurality of objects, and in some embodiments, while the current focus is on each user interface object, each user interface object is visually distinguished from other user interface objects of the plurality of user interface objects.

[0352] While the display is presenting the user interface, the electronic device receives a first input (e.g., receives an input corresponding to a gesture on a touch-sensitive surface in communication with the electronic device, such as touch-sensitive surface 451 of remote control 5001) (804). In some embodiments, the touch-sensitive surface or buttons are integral with the electronic device. In some embodiments, the touch-sensitive surface or buttons are separate from the electronic device.

[0353] In response to receiving the first input, the electronic device provides data to the display to move the first user interface object from a first position (e.g., an initial position of the first user interface object on the display relative to the positions of other objects of the plurality of objects surrounding the first user interface object on the display) toward the second user interface object and / or tilt the first user interface object from a first orientation (e.g., an initial orientation of the first user interface object as visually represented on the surface of the display) toward the second user interface object (e.g., as shown in Figures 5BB-5II, icon 5015-a is moved and / or tilted toward icon 5015-b).

[0354] In some embodiments, the first user interface object includes graphics in two or more overlapping layers arranged in z-order from a foreground layer to a background layer, with each layer offset on the display depending on the tilt of the first user interface object (e.g., as shown in FIGS. 5MM-5NN, icon 5015-e includes two or more layers of images arranged in z-order, with each layer offset on the display to provide a parallax effect) (808). In some embodiments, the two or more overlapping layers include one or more intervening layers between the foreground and background layers (e.g., layers 5030 and 5032 between foreground layer 5028 and background layer 5034 as shown in FIG. 5NN, and layer 5050-2 between foreground layer 5050-1 and background layer 5050-3 as shown in FIG. 5PP). In some embodiments, the two or more overlapping layers do not include an intervening layer between the foreground and background layers.

[0355] In some embodiments, tilting the first user interface object includes displaying one or more regions of the two or more overlaid layers (e.g., foreground layers and intervening layers between the foreground and background layers) that are outside the background layer and extend beyond the boundary of the background layer (e.g., one or more upper layers are masked based on the background layer) (810). For example, as shown in configuration 5046 of FIG. 5PP, one or more regions of the two or more overlaid layers that extend beyond the boundary of the background layer are cropped. Due to the parallax effect when the first user interface object is tilted, the two or more overlaid layers move relative to the background layer as the first user interface object is tilted, and the portions of the two or more overlaid layers that are masked by the background layer change depending on the amount of tilt of the first user interface object. In some embodiments, the overlaid layers are wider than the background layer, such that the overlaid layers continue to completely cover the background layer even when the first user interface object is tilted.

[0356] In some embodiments, the projection depth between the foreground and background layers is independent of the number of intervening layers (0, 1, 2, etc.) between the foreground and background layers (e.g., in FIG. 5PP, the projection depth between foreground layer 5048-1 and background layer 5048-2 is the same as the projection depth between foreground layer 5050-1 and background layer 5050-3) (812). In some embodiments, the first user interface object includes graphics in three overlapping layers and the second user interface object includes graphics in two overlapping layers, and both the first and second user interface objects have the same projection depth between the foreground and background layers.

[0357] Following a determination that the first input satisfies a first current-focus navigation condition (e.g., in FIGS. 5R-5U , contact 5408 moves to threshold position 5408-d) after moving the first user interface object from the first position toward the second user interface object and / or tilting the first user interface object toward the second user interface object, the electronic device provides data to the display (814, FIG. 8B ) to move the current focus from the first user interface object to the second user interface object, move the first user interface object back toward the first position, and / or tilt the first user interface object back toward the first direction (e.g., in FIG. 5U , current focus moves from icon 5015-a to icon 5015-b, and icon 5015-a moves and / or tilts back to its original position and orientation). In some embodiments, the first user interface object returns to the first position. In some embodiments, the first user interface object returns to the first direction.

[0358] In some embodiments, the name (or other descriptor) of the first user interface object is displayed on or adjacent to the first interface object while the current focus is on the first user interface object. Following a determination that the first input satisfies a first current-focus navigation condition, the electronic device provides (816) data to the display to cease displaying the name of the first user interface object and display the name of the second user interface object on or adjacent to the second interface object while the current focus is on the second user interface object. For example, as shown in FIGS. 5BB-5DD, when the current focus is on icon 5015-a, the name of icon 5015-a is displayed below icon 5015-a. When the current focus moves from icon 5015-a to icon 5015-b, the name of icon 5015-a is no longer displayed and the name of icon 5015-b is displayed below icon 5015-b. In some embodiments, each user interface object of the plurality of user interface objects is displayed with a name or descriptor on or adjacent to the corresponding user interface object when the current focus is on the corresponding user interface object, and is displayed without a name or descriptor on or adjacent to the corresponding user interface object when the current focus is not on the corresponding user interface object (e.g., a second user interface object is displayed without a name or descriptor on or adjacent to the second user interface object while the current focus is on a first user interface object). The presence of a name for each user interface object indicates that the current focus is on the corresponding user interface object.

[0359] In some embodiments, the first user interface object includes one or more reflections (818). In response to determining that the first input satisfies the first current-focus navigation condition, the electronic device provides data to the display to cease displaying one or more reflections of the first user interface object and display one or more reflections of a second user interface object. For example, FIG. 5R shows a reflection for user interface object 5105-a. The reflection moves as object 5105-a rotates about a tilt / pitch axis (e.g., the x-axis in FIG. 5R).

[0360] In some embodiments, in response to moving current focus from a first user interface object toward a second user interface object, the electronic device provides data to the display to decrease the size of the first user interface object on the display and increase the size of the second user interface object on the display (e.g., as shown in FIGS. 5BB-5DD, after moving current focus from icon 5015-a to icon 5015-b, icon 5015-a decreases in size and icon 5015-b increases in size) (820). The second user interface object includes two or more superimposed layers arranged in z-order from foreground to background layers (e.g., foreground and background layers as shown in FIG. 5NN). In some embodiments, the layers of the second user interface object are offset on the display according to the tilt of the second user interface object. Increasing the size of the second user interface object on the display includes increasing the size of each layer of the two or more superimposed layers by a corresponding magnification factor, and optionally increasing the distance or pseudo-distance in the z-direction between each layer. The magnification factor for the foreground layer (e.g., the ratio between the size of the foreground layer before increasing the size of the second user interface object and the size of the foreground layer after increasing the size of the second user interface object) is greater than the magnification factor for the background layer (e.g., the ratio between the size of the background layer before increasing the size of the second user interface object and the size of the background layer after increasing the size of the second user interface object). For example, as shown in configurations 5044 and 5046 in FIG. 5PP, the foreground layer (including the ping-pong ball and racket) is magnified more than the background layer (including the text and net).

[0361] In some embodiments, a top layer includes a cutout through which one or more underlying layers are visible. In some embodiments, a top layer includes a shape surrounded by a transparent area, with underlying layers visible in the area surrounding the shape (e.g., structure 5038 in FIG. 5NN). In some embodiments, multiple shapes are arranged on a layer such that when a first user interface object is not tilted, the shapes appear to be continuous, but when the object is tilted, the shapes move relative to one another to create a simulated three-dimensional effect (e.g., layers 5028 through 5034 in FIG. 5NN). In some embodiments, a top layer (e.g., top layer 5041-1 in FIG. 5OO) contains a pattern and a cutout, revealing a lower layer (e.g., lower layer 5041-2) that contains a magnified version of the pattern, and when tilted, creates the effect of the cutout appearing to be a magnified area magnifying the pattern, moving slightly beyond the pattern as the first user interface object is tilted (actually, magnifying the pattern is not necessary, which may require much greater computational resources than having a layer to simulate the magnification effect, and using a layer in this way to simulate the magnification effect is more power efficient than actually creating the magnification effect).

[0362] In some embodiments, while the current focus is on the user interface object, the electronic device receives a second input (e.g., moving contact 5409 on touch-sensitive surface 451 of remote control 5001, activating a button to communicate with the device, and / or receiving a voice command, as shown in FIG. 5V) (822, FIG. 8C). In response to receiving the second input, the electronic device provides data to the display to move the second user interface object from a second position (e.g., an initial position of the second user interface object on the display relative to the positions of other objects of the plurality of objects surrounding the second user interface object on the display) toward a third user interface object adjacent to the second user interface object and / or tilt the second user interface object from a second direction (e.g., an initial orientation of the second user interface object as visually represented on the surface of the display, similar to the first orientation for the first user interface object) toward the third user interface object (e.g., icon 5015-b is tilted toward icon 5015-c, as shown in FIG. 5W). Following a determination that the second input satisfies a second current-focus navigation condition (e.g., the contact has moved to a threshold position) after moving the second user interface object from the second position toward the third user interface object and / or tilting the second user interface object toward the third user interface object, the electronic device provides data to the display to move the current focus from the second user interface object to the third user interface object and move the second user interface object back to the second position and / or tilt the third user interface object back in the second direction (e.g., as shown in FIG. 5X, the current focus moves from icon 5015-b to icon 5015-c, and icon 5015-b returns to its original position and orientation). In some embodiments, the second user interface object returns to the second position.In some embodiments, the second user interface object moves back in the second direction. In some embodiments, the steps of moving and / or tilting each object with the current focus toward the adjacent object, moving the current focus to the adjacent object, and moving and / or tilting each object back to its original position and / or direction can be repeated multiple times in response to a single input corresponding to a request to move the current focus.

[0363] In some embodiments, the first current focus navigation condition and the second current focus navigation condition are distinct (e.g., in some embodiments, the first current focus navigation condition and the second current focus navigation condition are distinct if the first current focus navigation condition is used to move the current focus horizontally and the second current focus navigation condition is used to move the current focus vertically) (824). In some embodiments, the first current focus navigation condition is satisfied in response to detecting a gesture on the touch-sensitive surface in communication with the electronic device that satisfies a first distance condition, and the second current focus navigation condition is satisfied in response to detecting a gesture on the touch-sensitive surface that satisfies a second distance condition that is distinct from the first distance condition. In some embodiments, the distance condition is determined based on the width and / or height of a corresponding user interface object (e.g., a first user interface object). In some embodiments, for a user interface object that has a width greater than the height of the user interface object, the distance condition for horizontal movement of the current focus requires a longer gesture stroke than the distance condition for vertical movement of the current focus. In some embodiments, for user interface objects that have a width that is less than their height (e.g., movie poster icons 5062-a through 5062-c shown in Figures 5QQ-5TT), the distance requirement for horizontal navigation requires a shorter gesture stroke than the distance requirement for vertical navigation. In some embodiments, the distance requirement for navigation between two user interface objects in the same row requires a shorter gesture stroke than the distance requirement for navigation between two user interface objects in different rows.

[0364] In some embodiments, the first input corresponds to a request to move the current focus horizontally in the user interface (826), and the second input corresponds to a request to move the current focus vertically in the user interface (e.g., moving the current focus horizontally from icon 5062-b to icon 5062-a as shown in Figures 5RR-5SS, and moving the current focus vertically from icon 5062-a to icon 5015-d as shown in Figures 5SS-5TT).

[0365] In some embodiments, the first input corresponds to a request to move the current focus between user interface objects of the same type (e.g., moving the current focus between movie poster icons 5062-b and 5062-a, as shown in Figures 5RR-5SS) (828), and the second input corresponds to a request to move the current focus between user interface objects of different types (e.g., moving the current focus between movie poster icon 5062-a and application icon 5015-d).

[0366] In some embodiments, pursuant to determining that the first input does not satisfy the first current-focus navigation condition after moving the first user interface object from the first position toward the second user interface object and / or tilting the first user interface object toward the second user interface object, the electronic device provides (830) data to the display to maintain the current focus on the first user interface object and move the first user interface object back toward the first position and / or tilt the first user interface object back in the first direction. In some embodiments, the first user interface object returns to the first position. For example, as shown in FIGS. 5Y-5AA, when contact 5410 is no longer detected without reaching the threshold position, the current focus remains on icon 5015-c, and icon 5015-c moves and tilts back to its original position and orientation. In some embodiments, the third user interface object returns to the first direction. In some embodiments, if the input (e.g., here the first input) is not sufficient to move the current focus from the corresponding user interface object to the adjacent user interface object, the corresponding user interface object moves and / or tilts towards the adjacent user interface object and then moves and / or tilts back to its original position and / or orientation to indicate that the input is not sufficient to move the current focus from the corresponding user interface object to the adjacent user interface object and that the current focus remains on the corresponding user interface object.

[0367] It should be understood that the particular order described for the operations in Figures 8A-8C is merely exemplary, and that the described order is not intended to indicate the only order in which the operations may be performed. Those skilled in the art will recognize various ways to reorder the operations described herein. In addition, it should be noted that other process details described herein with respect to other methods described herein (e.g., methods 600, 700, 900, 1000, 1100, and 1200) are also applicable in a similar manner to method 800 described above in connection with Figures 8A-8C. For example, the user interface, user input, and tilt and / or movement of user interface objects described above with reference to method 800 optionally have one or more of the characteristics of the user interface, user input, and tilt and / or movement of user interface objects described herein with reference to other methods described herein (e.g., methods 600, 700, 900, 1000, 1100, and 1200). For the sake of brevity, these details will not be repeated here.

[0368] 9A-9B are flow diagrams illustrating a method 900 for updating a user interface based on inactivity criteria, according to some embodiments. Method 900 is performed on an electronic device (e.g., device 300 of FIG. 3 or portable multifunction device 100 of FIG. 1A) in communication with a display, and in some embodiments, a touch-sensitive surface. In some embodiments, the display is a touchscreen display, and the touch-sensitive surface is on or integrated with the display. In some embodiments, the display is separate from the touch-sensitive surface. Some operations of method 900 are optionally combined, and / or the order of some operations is optionally changed.

[0369] As described below, method 900 provides an intuitive way to indicate the inactivity state of a device. The method creates a more efficient human-machine interface by reducing the cognitive burden on the user when resuming activity on the device (e.g., by providing a visual distinction of the user interface object with the current focus during the inactivity state). For battery-operated electronic devices, allowing the user to identify the user interface object with the current focus faster and more efficiently conserves power and extends the time between battery charges.

[0370] The electronic device provides (902) data (e.g., instructions, video signals, image files, or other information) for presenting on the display a user interface having a plurality of user interface objects (e.g., home screen user interface 5018 having icons 5015-a through 5015-e and 5062-a through 5062-c in FIG. 5TT). In some embodiments, the plurality of user interface objects are displayed on the display in a scrollable two-dimensional array. In some embodiments, the user interface objects are application icons, channel icons, content icons, or content group icons that, when activated (e.g., with a tap gesture, pressing a select button, a voice command, etc.), cause the display to display the corresponding application, channel, content, or content group. The plurality of user interface objects includes a first user interface object, and the current focus is on the first user interface object.

[0371] While the display is presenting the user interface, the electronic device determines that an inactivity criterion is met (904). In some embodiments, the inactivity criterion is met (906) when no user input is detected by the electronic device or another device communicating with the electronic device (e.g., remote control 5001) for a predetermined time. In some embodiments, the inactivity criterion is met (908) when the electronic device or a remote control communicating with the electronic device detects that the remote control is stationary. In some embodiments, the other device is the remote control. In some embodiments, the remote control includes an accelerometer that detects whether the remote control is moving (e.g., the remote control is in the user's hand and moves in response to the user's hand movements) or is stationary (e.g., the remote control is placed on a stable surface such as a table). In some embodiments, the remote control includes a contact switch configured to detect when the remote control is placed down.

[0372] In response to determining that the inactivity criterion is met, the electronic device provides to the display data for visually distinguishing the first user interface object in a first manner from other user interface objects of the plurality of user interface objects (e.g., as shown in FIG. 5UU, icon 5015-d is visually distinguished from the remainder of the user interface by dimming the remainder of the user interface) (910, FIG. 9B). In some embodiments, while the inactivity criterion is not met and current focus is on the respective user interface object, the respective user interface object is visually distinguished from the other user interface objects of the plurality of user interface objects in one or more manners other than the first manner. For example, although icon 5015-d is visually distinguished from the other icons in FIG. 5TT (e.g., icon 5015-d is enlarged), the manner in which icon 5015-d is visually distinguished from the other icons in FIG. 5TT differs from the manner in which icon 5015-d is visually distinguished from the remainder of the user interface (e.g., by dimming the remainder of the user interface) in FIG. 5UU.

[0373] In some embodiments, visually distinguishing the first user interface object in a first manner includes highlighting the first user interface object (icon 5015-d in FIG. 5UU) (912). In some embodiments, visually distinguishing the first user interface object in a first manner includes displaying other user interface objects of the plurality of user interface objects without highlighting. In some embodiments, visually distinguishing the first user interface object in a first manner includes displaying the plurality of user interface objects other than the first user interface object without highlighting. In some embodiments, ceasing to visually distinguish the first user interface object in a first manner includes removing highlighting of the first user interface object.

[0374] In some embodiments, visually distinguishing the first user interface object in a first manner includes dimming one or more portions of the user interface other than the first user interface object (e.g., the remainder of the user interface in FIG. 5UU is dimmed) (914). In some embodiments, visually distinguishing the first user interface object in a first manner includes dimming a plurality of user interface objects other than the first user interface object. In some embodiments, ceasing to visually distinguish the first user interface object in a first manner includes removing dimming of one or more portions of the user interface that do not correspond to the first user interface object. In some embodiments, ceasing to visually distinguish the first user interface object in a first manner includes removing dimming of a plurality of user interface objects other than the first user interface object.

[0375] In some embodiments, in response to determining that the dark screen criteria are met, the electronic device provides data to the display to display a blank screen (e.g., in FIG. 5XX, a blank screen is shown on display 450) (916). In some embodiments, the dark screen criteria are met when no user input is detected by the electronic device or another device communicating with the electronic device (e.g., a remote control) for a second predetermined time period. The second predetermined time period that is part of the dark screen criteria is typically longer than the predetermined time period that is part of the inactivity criteria.

[0376] In some embodiments, in response to determining that the dark screen criteria are met, the electronic device provides data to the display to dim the entire user interface, including the first user interface object (e.g., in FIG. 5WW, the entire user interface is dimmed) (918).

[0377] After providing the data for visually distinguishing the first user interface object in a first manner to the display, the electronic device detects user interaction with the electronic device or another device communicating with the electronic device (e.g., a remote control) (e.g., detecting lifting the remote control, touching a touch-sensitive surface of the remote control, or pressing a button on the remote control) (920). In response to detecting user interaction with the electronic device or another device communicating with the electronic device, the electronic device provides data for causing the display to cease visually distinguishing the first user interface object in the first manner from other user interface objects of the plurality of user interface objects. For example, as shown in FIG. 5YY, detecting the user lifting remote control 5001 (e.g., using a gyroscope or accelerometer in remote control 5001) causes the display to cease displaying the visual distinction (e.g., dimming the user interface except for icon 5015-d).

[0378] In some embodiments, visually distinguishing the first user interface object in a first manner includes increasing the size of the first user interface object from a first size to a second size (922). For example, if current focus moves to icon 5015-d, icon 5015-d is enlarged, but if inactivity criteria are met, icon 5015-d is further enlarged, as shown in FIG. 5VV. In some embodiments, visually distinguishing the first user interface object in a first manner includes decreasing the size of other user interface objects of the plurality of user interface objects. In some embodiments, visually distinguishing the first user interface object in a first manner includes decreasing the size of the plurality of user interface objects other than the first user interface object.

[0379] In some embodiments, ceasing to visually distinguish the first user interface object in a first manner includes reducing the size of the first user interface object to a first size (e.g., as shown in FIG. 5VV, when the device detects a user lifting remote control 5001 while enlarged icon 5015-d is displayed, icon 5015-d is reduced in size as shown in FIG. 5YY) (924).

[0380] It should be understood that the particular order described for the operations in Figures 9A-9B is merely exemplary, and that the described order is not intended to indicate the only order in which the operations may be performed. Those skilled in the art will recognize various ways to reorder the operations described herein. Additionally, it should be noted that other process details described herein with respect to other methods described herein (e.g., methods 600, 700, 800, 1000, 1100, and 1200) are also applicable in a similar manner to method 900 described above in connection with Figures 9A-9B. For example, the user interfaces, user interface objects, user inputs, and user input devices described above with reference to method 900 optionally have one or more of the features of the user interfaces, user interface objects, user inputs, and user input devices described herein with reference to other methods described herein (e.g., methods 600, 700, 800, 1000, 1100, and 1200). For the sake of brevity, these details will not be repeated here.

[0381] 10A-10C are flow diagrams illustrating a method 1000 of selecting a media presentation option, according to some embodiments. Method 1000 is performed on an electronic device (e.g., device 300 of FIG. 3 or portable multifunction device 100 of FIG. 1A) in communication with a display. In some embodiments, the electronic device communicates with a user input device (e.g., a remote user input device such as a remote control) having a touch-sensitive surface. In some embodiments, the display is a touchscreen display, and the touch-sensitive surface is on or integrated with the display. In some embodiments, the display is separate from the touch-sensitive surface. In some embodiments, the user input device is integrated with the electronic device. In some embodiments, the user input device is separate from the electronic device. Some operations of method 1000 are, optionally, combined, and / or the order of some operations is, optionally, changed.

[0382] As described below, method 1000 provides an efficient way of selecting media presentation options. The method creates a more efficient human-machine interface by reducing the number, range, and / or nature of inputs from a user when navigating through media content. For battery-powered electronic devices, allowing a user to select media presentation options more quickly and efficiently conserves power and extends the time between battery charges.

[0383] In some embodiments, a device provides (1002) data for presenting a media information user interface for a first media content item (e.g., a movie, etc.) on a display. For example, in response to activating movie poster icon 5062-a in FIG. 5ZZ (e.g., via tap gesture 5428), a production page view 5090 for the movie "The Great Crime" is displayed, as shown in FIG. 5AAA. The media information user interface for the first media content item includes a plurality of media source objects corresponding to respective media sources for the first media content item (e.g., iTunes, a first third-party streaming service provider, a second third-party streaming service provider, etc., such as media source icons 5092-a through 5092-e in FIG. 5AAA). A first media source object of the plurality of media source objects is visually distinguished to indicate selection of the first media source object (e.g., in FIG. 5AAA, icon 5092-a is visually distinguished from icons 5092-b through 5092-e). The first media source object corresponds to the first media source (e.g., icon 5092-a corresponds to the MovieFlix movie streaming service). The media information user interface for the first media content item also includes a first set of media management objects for the first media content item (e.g., media management icons 5093-a through 5093-c). The first set of media management objects includes one or more media presentation option objects corresponding to the first media content item and the first media source. The first set of media management objects includes a plurality of objects. In some embodiments, activating a media management object initiates a corresponding media management function for the corresponding media content item, such as previewing, playing in a first software application, viewing in a second software application, renting, purchasing, or adding the corresponding media content item to a watchlist.In some embodiments, activating a media presentation option initiates presentation of the corresponding media content item according to the particular option. For example, activating a "Preview" icon (e.g., icon 5093-a) initiates presentation of a preview of the corresponding media content item. For example, activating a "Play" icon initiates playback of the corresponding media content item in a first software application. For example, activating a "Browse" icon initiates viewing of the corresponding media content item in a second software application separate from the first software application. In some embodiments, initiating viewing of the corresponding media content item in the second software application includes displaying a media information user interface for the first media content item in the second application. In some embodiments, initiating viewing of the corresponding media content item in the second software application includes initiating playback of the first media content item in the second application.

[0384] In some embodiments, the plurality of media source objects have an order determined 1004 according to predetermined source ordering criteria (e.g., based on the cost of playing the first media content item and the quality of the first media content item, such as video resolution, frame rate, whether advertisements are included, etc.). For example, in Figure 5AAA, icon 5092-a has the first position among icons 5092-a through 5092-e because the movie "The Great Crime" is available for free from the corresponding media source.

[0385] In some embodiments, the plurality of media source objects includes an additional source object (e.g., icon 5092-f in FIG. 5AAA) that, when activated, begins displaying a list of additional source objects corresponding to additional sources for the first media content item (e.g., activation of icon 5092-f initiates display of source selection interface 5098 shown in FIG. 5HHH) (1006).

[0386] In some embodiments, the media information user interface includes a set of media objects corresponding to a set of media content items (e.g., recommended movies / television shows) that are separate from the first media content item (e.g., the Movies page view 5090 of FIG. 5AAA includes a "Also Watched" movie icon that is different from the movie "The Great Crime") (1008).

[0387] In some embodiments, the media information user interface is a user interface of a first software application (e.g., an integrated media presentation application such as video and music player module 152 of FIG. 3 that allows a user to access media content items from multiple media sources instead of allowing a user to access media content items from only one proprietary source) (1010), and the media presentation options object includes an in-application playback object (e.g., play button 5093-b in FIG. 5AAA) that, when activated (e.g., by a tap on the touch-sensitive surface of the remote user input device while the current focus is displayed on the in-application playback object), begins providing data on the display for playing the first media content item using data received from the first media source in the user interface of the first software application (e.g., as shown in FIG. 5BBB, in response to tap gesture 5450, video playback view 5300 is displayed presenting playback of the movie “The Great Crime”). The media information user interface also includes an out-of-application playback object (e.g., "Browse on Movieflix" button 5093-c in FIG. 5AAA) that, when activated (e.g., by a tap on the touch-sensitive surface of the remote user input device while the current focus is displayed on the out-of-application playback object), initiates the launch of a second software application separate from the first software application and associated with the first media source (for playing the first media content item using data received from the first media source in the user interface of the second software application) (e.g., as shown in FIG. 5JJJ, in response to tap gesture 5460, a works page view 5064 of a third-party software application, such as first video playback module 392 of FIG. 3, is displayed).In some embodiments, the media presentation options object includes a preview object that, when activated (e.g., by a tap on the touch-sensitive surface of the remote user input device while the current focus is displayed on the preview object), begins providing data on the display for playing a preview of the first media content item.

[0388] While the display is presenting the media information user interface, the device receives user input (1012, FIG. 10B) (eg, a tap gesture 5450 on a remote control 5001 that communicates with the electronic device).

[0389] In response to receiving user input (1014), upon determining that the user input corresponds to a request to activate a first media presentation options object of the first set of media management objects for the first media content item (e.g., pressing a play button or providing a tap gesture on touch-sensitive surface 451 while the current focus is displayed on the first media presentation options object, as shown in FIG. 5AAA), the device begins provisioning data (e.g., video data or other multimedia data) on the display for playing the first media content using data received from the first media source in accordance with the media presentation options corresponding to the first media presentation options object (e.g., a video playback view 5300 of the movie "The Great Crime" is presented on display 450, as shown in FIG. 5BBB) (1016). In some embodiments, the method includes, in response to receiving user input, determining that the user input corresponds to a request to activate a second media presentation options object of the first set of media management objects for the first media content item, and initiating provisioning of data on the display for playing the first media content item using data received from the first media source in accordance with the media presentation options corresponding to the second media presentation options object.

[0390] In some embodiments, in response to receiving user input (1014), following a determination that the user input corresponds to a request to select a second media source object of the plurality of media source objects that is distinct from the first media source object (e.g., right swipe gesture 5454 on touch-sensitive surface 451 of remote control 5001), the device also provides to the display (1018) data for updating the media information user interface for the first media content item. In some embodiments, the updated media information user interface for the first media content item includes a plurality of media source objects corresponding to each media source for the first media content item (e.g., icons 5092-a through 5092-e), wherein a second media source object of the plurality of media source objects (e.g., icon 5092-b) is visually distinguished to indicate selection of the second media source object, the second media source object corresponding to a second media source that is distinct from the first media source (e.g., icon 5092-b corresponds to Apple iTunes). In some embodiments, the first media source object ceases to be visually distinct in the updated media information user interface (e.g., the size of icon 5093-a is reduced from an expanded state). In some embodiments, the updated media information user interface for the first media content item also includes a second set of media management objects (e.g., icon 5093-a and icons 5093-c through 5093-f) corresponding to the first media content item and the second media source. The second set of media management objects is separate from the first set of media management objects. In some embodiments, the display of the first set of media management objects is replaced with the display of the second set of media management objects. In some embodiments, the first set of media management objects ceases to be displayed.In some embodiments, the second set of media management objects includes one or more media management objects that are not included in the first set of media management objects. In some embodiments, the first set of media management objects includes one or more media management objects that are not included in the second set of media management objects. In some embodiments, the first set of media management objects and the second set of media management objects include one or more common media management objects. In some embodiments, the first set of media management objects and the second set of media management objects do not include common media management objects.

[0391] In some embodiments, the method includes receiving a second user input; and, in response to receiving the second user input, determining that the second user input corresponds to a request to activate a particular media presentation options object in the second set of media management objects, initiating provisioning of data on the display for playing the first media content using data received from the second media source in accordance with the media presentation options corresponding to the particular media presentation options object (e.g., activating icon 5093-d or 5093-e in FIG. 5FFF initiates, after optional payment confirmation, display of the movie "The Great Crime" on display 450 based on data from Apple iTunes).

[0392] In some embodiments, the second set of media management objects includes a rental object (e.g., icon 5093-e in FIG. 5FFF) that, when activated (e.g., by tapping on the touch-sensitive surface of the remote user input device while the current focus is displayed on the rental object), initiates renting the first media content item from the second media source (1020). In some embodiments, the first media content item is rented in response to activating the rental object. In some embodiments, activating the rental object initiates providing data for displaying a media content item rental user interface (e.g., a confirmation page) for renting the first media content item. In some embodiments, the rental object, when activated, also initiates providing data on the display for playing the first media content item using data received from the second media source. In some embodiments, the second set of media management objects also includes a purchase object (e.g., icon 5093-d in FIG. 5FFF) that, when activated (e.g., by tapping on the touch-sensitive surface of the remote user input device while the current focus is displayed on the purchase object), initiates purchasing the first media content item from the second media source. In some embodiments, in response to activating the purchase object, the first media content item is purchased. In some embodiments, activating the purchase object initiates providing data for displaying a media content item purchase interface (e.g., a confirmation page) for purchasing the first media content item. In some embodiments, upon activation, the purchase object also initiates providing data on a display for playing the first media content item using data received from the second media source.

[0393] In some embodiments, the rental object is displayed with the price to rent the first media content item from the second media source (e.g., in FIG. 5FFF, icon 5093-e is displayed with a rental price of $2.99). In some embodiments, the purchase object is displayed with the price to purchase the first media content item from the second media source (e.g., in FIG. 5FFF, icon 5093-d is displayed with a purchase price of $9.99).

[0394] In some embodiments, the second set of media management objects includes an out-of-application playback object (e.g., icon 5093-c) that, when activated, initiates the launch of a third software application (e.g., iTunes software) that is separate from the first and second software applications and associated with the second media source (to play the first media content item using data received from the second media source in the user interface of the third software application).

[0395] In some embodiments, the second set of media management objects includes a watchlist object (e.g., icon 5093-f in FIG. 5FFF) that, when activated (e.g., by tapping the touch-sensitive surface of the remote user input device while the current focus is displayed on the watchlist object), begins adding the first media content item to a list of selected media content items (1022).

[0396] In some embodiments, while the display is displaying a media content browser user interface, the device receives a selection of a first media content item (1024, FIG. 10C ), and in response to receiving the selection of the first media content item while the display is displaying the media content browser user interface, provides the display with data for replacing the display of the media content browser user interface with a media information user interface for the first media content item (e.g., as shown in FIGS. 5ZZ through 5AAA, works page view 5090 is displayed in response to activation of icon 5062-a on home screen 5018 in FIG. 5ZZ). While the display is displaying a search user interface, the device receives a selection of the first media content item, and in response to receiving the selection of the first media content item while the display is displaying the search user interface, provides the display with data for replacing the display of the search user interface with a media information user interface for the first media content item (e.g., works page view 5090 is displayed in response to selection of an item listing in search page view 5066, as shown in FIGS. 5KKK through 5LLL). While the display is displaying the media content store user interface, the device receives a selection of a first media content item, and in response to receiving the selection of the first media content item while the display is displaying the media content store user interface, provides the display with data to replace the display of the media content store user interface with a media information user interface for the first media content item (e.g., as shown in Figures 5MMM to 5NNN, the work page view 5090 is displayed in response to selection of a media content icon in the media content store view 5060).

[0397] It should be understood that the particular order described for the operations in Figures 10A-10C is merely exemplary, and that the described order is not intended to indicate the only order in which the operations may be performed. Those skilled in the art will recognize various ways to reorder the operations described herein. In addition, it should be noted that other process details described herein with respect to other methods described herein (e.g., methods 600, 700, 800, 900, 1100, and 1200) are also applicable in a similar manner to method 1000 described above in connection with Figures 10A-10C. For example, the user interfaces, user interface objects, user inputs, and user input devices described above with reference to method 1000 optionally have one or more of the features of the user interfaces, user interface objects, user inputs, and user input devices described herein with reference to other methods described herein (e.g., methods 600, 700, 800, 900, 1100, and 1200). For the sake of brevity, these details will not be repeated here.

[0398] 11A-11DC are flow diagrams illustrating a method 1100 of selecting a media presentation option, according to some embodiments. Method 1100 is performed on an electronic device (e.g., device 300 of FIG. 3 or portable multifunction device 100 of FIG. 1A) in communication with a display. In some embodiments, the electronic device communicates with a user input device (e.g., a remote user input device such as a remote control) having a touch-sensitive surface. In some embodiments, the display is a touchscreen display, and the touch-sensitive surface is on or integrated with the display. In some embodiments, the display is separate from the touch-sensitive surface. In some embodiments, the user input device is integrated with the electronic device. In some embodiments, the user input device is separate from the electronic device. Some operations of method 1100 are, optionally, combined, and / or the order of some operations is, optionally, changed.

[0399] As described below, method 1100 provides an efficient way of selecting media presentation options. The method creates a more efficient human-machine interface by reducing the number, range, and / or nature of inputs from a user when navigating through media content. For battery-powered electronic devices, allowing a user to select media presentation options more quickly and efficiently conserves power and extends the time between battery charges.

[0400] The device provides (1102) data for presenting on the display a first media information user interface for a first media program (e.g., a television series such as "SadMen"). The media information user interface for the first media program includes a plurality of media source objects (e.g., iTunes, a first third-party streaming service provider, a second third-party streaming service provider, a television channel, etc., such as icons 5095-a through 5095-e in FIG. 5000). Each media source object of the plurality of media source objects corresponds to a respective media source for the first media program, and a first media source object of the plurality of media source objects is visually distinguished to indicate selection of the first media source object, and the first media source object corresponds to the first media source. In some embodiments, the media information user interface for the first media program also includes one or more episode objects (e.g., icons 5097-a through 5097-d in FIG. 5OOO), where the one or more episode objects correspond to one or more episodes for the first media program available from the first media source, and where a first episode object of the one or more episode objects (e.g., icon 5097-a in FIG. 5OOO) is visually distinguished to indicate selection of the first episode object, where the first episode object corresponds to the first episode of the first media program. In some embodiments, each episode object includes a thumbnail of the corresponding episode. Additionally, the media information user interface for the first media program includes a first set of media management objects (e.g., icons 5096-a through 5096-c in FIG. 5OOO) for the first episode. The first set of media management objects includes one or more media presentation option objects (e.g., play icon 5096-a) corresponding to the first episode and the first media source.

[0401] In some embodiments, the first set of media management objects includes an episode purchase object (e.g., icon 5096-d in FIG. 5PPP) that, when activated (e.g., by tapping on the touch-sensitive surface of the remote user input device while the current focus is displayed on the episode purchase object), initiates purchasing a first episode of the first media content program from the first media source (1104). In some embodiments, the episode purchase object, when activated, also initiates providing data on the display for playing the first episode using data received from the first media source. In some embodiments, the first set of media management objects also includes a season purchase object (e.g., icon 5096-e in FIG. 5PPP) that, when activated (e.g., by tapping on the touch-sensitive surface of the remote user input device while the current focus is displayed on the season purchase object), initiates purchasing a season, including the first episode, of the first media program from the first media source. In some embodiments, the episode purchase object, when activated, also initiates providing data on the display for playing the first episode using data received from the first media source.

[0402] In some embodiments, the media information user interface is a user interface of a first software application (e.g., an integrated media application such as video and music player module 152 of FIG. 3) (1106), and the first set of media management objects includes an out-of-application playback object (e.g., icon 5096-f in FIG. 5QQQ) that, when activated (e.g., by a tap on the touch-sensitive surface of the remote user input device while the current focus is displayed on the out-of-application playback object), initiates the launch of a second software application (e.g., first video playback module 392 in FIG. 3) separate from the first software application and associated with the first media source to play the first episode using data received from the first media source in the user interface of the second software application.

[0403] While the display is presenting the media information user interface, the device receives user input (1108) (eg, at a remote user input device in communication with the electronic device).

[0404] In response to receiving user input (1110), upon determining that the user input corresponds to a request to activate a first media presentation options object of the first set of media management objects (e.g., pressing the play button while the current focus is displayed on icon 5096-d or providing a tap gesture with touch-sensitive surface 451 of remote control 5001, as shown in FIG. 5PPP), the device begins provisioning (1112) data (e.g., video data or other multimedia data) on the display for playing the first episode using data received from the first media source in accordance with the media presentation options corresponding to the first media presentation options object.

[0405] In some embodiments, in response to receiving the user input, upon determining that the user input corresponds to a request to activate a second media presentation options object (e.g., icon 5096-e in FIG. 5PPP) of the first set of media management objects, the device begins provisioning data for playing the first episode on the display using data received from the first media source in accordance with the media presentation options corresponding to the second media presentation options object.

[0406] In some embodiments, the media information user interface for the first media program includes an integrated media source object (e.g., icon 5095-a in FIG. 5OOO) that is separate from the multiple media source objects and associated with the multiple media sources for the first media program, and in response to receiving user input, in accordance with determining that the user input corresponds to a request to select the integrated media source object (e.g., left swipe gesture 5472 on touch-sensitive surface 451 of remote control 5001 as shown in FIG. 5QQQ), the device provides (1114) to the display data for updating the media information user interface for the first media program. The updated media information user interface for the first media program includes a plurality of media source objects (e.g., icons 5095-a through 5095-e), one or more episode objects (e.g., icons 5097-a through 5097-d) corresponding to one or more episodes for the first media program available from the plurality of media sources, and a selected episode object (e.g., icon 5097-a) of a second set of one or more media management objects (e.g., icons 5096-a through 5096-c) corresponding to the plurality of media sources associated with the integrated media source object and the one or more episode objects corresponding to one or more episodes for the first media program available from the plurality of media sources. In some embodiments, the one or more episode objects in the updated media information user interface are identical to the one or more episode objects corresponding to one or more episodes for the first media program available from the first media source. In some embodiments, the one or more episode objects in the updated media information user interface are distinct from the one or more episode objects corresponding to one or more episodes for the first media program available from the first media source.In some embodiments, the selected episode object is visually distinguished to indicate selection of the selected episode object.

[0407] In some embodiments, the second set of media management objects is separate from the first set of media management objects. In some embodiments, the second set of media management objects includes one or more media management objects that are not included in the first set of media management objects. In some embodiments, the first set of media management objects includes one or more media management objects that are not included in the second set of media management objects. In some embodiments, the first set of media management objects and the second set of media management objects include one or more common media management objects. In some embodiments, the first set of media management objects and the second set of media management objects do not include common media management objects.

[0408] In some embodiments, the integrated media source object is visually distinguished from the multiple media source objects to indicate selection of the integrated media source object, and in some embodiments, the first media source object is no longer visually distinguished in the updated media information user interface.

[0409] In some embodiments, the second set of one or more media management objects includes a playback object (e.g., icon 5096-a in FIG. 5RRR) that, when activated, begins provisioning data for playback of the first episode on the display using data received from one of the multiple media sources associated with the integrated media source object (1116). In some embodiments, one of the multiple media sources is selected based on predetermined source selection criteria (e.g., based on the cost of playback of the first episode and the quality of the first episode, such as video resolution, frame rate, and / or presence or absence of advertisements).

[0410] In some embodiments, the updated media information user interface for the first media program includes cost information for each episode object corresponding to each episode available for a fee (e.g., episode objects for episodes available at no additional cost (e.g., through an existing subscription) are not displayed with cost information, and episode objects for episodes available only through an additional cost are displayed with cost information) (1118). For example, in FIG. 5PPP, icons 5097-a through 5097-c are displayed with cost information, and icon 5097-d is not displayed with cost information because the episode associated with icon 5097-d is available at no additional cost.

[0411] In some embodiments, in response to receiving user input (1110), upon determining that the user input corresponds to a request to select a second media source object of the plurality of media source objects that is distinct from the first media source object (e.g., right swipe gesture 5470 on touch-sensitive surface 451 of remote control 5001 as shown in FIG. 5PPP), the device provides to the display unit data for updating the media information user interface for the first media program (1120). The updated media information user interface for the first media program includes the plurality of media source objects, in which the second media source object is visually distinguished to indicate selection of the second media source object (e.g., in FIG. 5QQQ, icon 5095-c is visually distinguished among icons 5095-a through 5095-f), and the second media source object corresponds to a second media source that is distinct from the first media source. In some embodiments, the first media source object ceases to be visually distinguished in the updated media information user interface.

[0412] In some embodiments, the updated media information user interface for the first media program also includes a third set of media management objects corresponding to the first episode and the second media source (e.g., icons 5096-f, 5096-b, and 5096-c in FIG. 5QQQ). The third set of media management objects is separate from the first set of media management objects. In some embodiments, the first set of media management objects is replaced by the third set of media management objects. In some embodiments, the first set of media management objects ceases to be displayed. In some embodiments, the third set of media management objects includes one or more media management objects not included in the first set of media management objects. In some embodiments, the first set of media management objects includes one or more media management objects not included in the third set of media management objects. In some embodiments, the first set of media management objects and the third set of media management objects include one or more common media management objects. In some embodiments, the first set of media management objects and the third set of media management objects do not include a common media management object.

[0413] In some embodiments, the second media source is a subscription-based source (e.g., the source requires a paid subscription to receive data for playing the first episode). Following a determination that the electronic device does not have a subscription to the second media source, the third set of media management objects includes a subscription object that, when activated, initiates displaying a subscription user interface.

[0414] In some embodiments, the media information user interface for the first media program includes (1122) a season selection object (e.g., icon 5096-b in FIG. 5SSS) that indicates a first selected season for the first media program (season 5 as shown in FIG. 5SSS). One or more episode objects in the media information user interface correspond to one or more episodes for the first selected season of the first media program. When the season selection object becomes active, it begins displaying a list of seasons of the first media program that are available from the first media source (e.g., season selection interface 5498 in FIG. 5TTT). The device further receives a selection of a second selected season from within the list of seasons separate from the first selected season (e.g., receiving a tap gesture 5480 or a press of the Select button while current focus is displayed on user interface object 5498-1 corresponding to the second selected season in FIG. 5UUU). In response to receiving 1124 a selection of the second selected season from the list of seasons, the device updates 1126 the season selection object to indicate the second selected season (e.g., in FIG. 5VVV, icon 5096-b indicates season 1) and replaces 1128 the display of one or more episode objects in the media information user interface corresponding to one or more episodes for the first selected season of the first media program with a display of one or more episode objects corresponding to one or more episodes for the second selected season of the first media program (e.g., in FIG. 5VVV, icons 5097-e through 5097-h replace icons 5097-a through 5097-d). In some embodiments, if the selected season is complete (e.g., the season has ended), the one or more episode objects are arranged in chronological order of the corresponding episodes (e.g., episode 1, then episode 2, then episode 3, etc.), as shown in FIG. 5VVV. This facilitates a user's viewing of the episodes in chronological order.In some embodiments, if the selected season is still ongoing (e.g., the season has not ended), the one or more episode objects are arranged in reverse chronological order of their corresponding episodes (e.g., episode 1 precedes episode 2, which precedes episode 3), as shown in Figure 5SSS. This makes it easier for a user to identify the most recent episode.

[0415] In some embodiments, the one or more episode objects include an episode object for a future episode. In some embodiments, the episode object for the future episode is displayed with the airtime of the future episode. In some embodiments, the episode object for the future episode, when activated, begins displaying a user interface for setting a reminder for the airtime of the future episode.

[0416] In some embodiments, the device receives a selection of a first media program while the display is displaying a media content browser user interface (1130, FIG. 11D ), and in response to receiving the selection of the first media program while the display is displaying the media content browser user interface, provides the display with data for replacing the display of the media content browser user interface with a media information user interface for the first media program; receives a selection of the first media program while the display is displaying a search user interface, and upon receiving the selection of the first media program while the display is displaying the search user interface, provides the display with data for replacing the display of the search user interface with the media information user interface for the first media program; receives a selection of the first media program while the display is displaying a media content store user interface, and upon receiving the selection of the first media program while the display is displaying the media content store user interface, provides the display with data for replacing the display of the media content store user interface with the media information user interface for the first media program. For example, in the manner described above for operation 1024, the production page view 5091 for the television program "Sad Men" can be accessed from a media content browser user interface, a search user interface (e.g., search user interface 5066 in FIG. 5KKK), and a media content store user interface (e.g., media content store view 5060 in FIG. 5MMM), details of which are omitted herein for the sake of brevity.

[0417] It should be understood that the particular order described for the operations in Figures 11A-11D is merely exemplary, and that the described order is not intended to indicate the only order in which the operations may be performed. Those skilled in the art will recognize various ways to reorder the operations described herein. Additionally, it should be noted that other process details described herein with respect to other methods described herein (e.g., methods 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, and 1200) are also applicable in a similar manner to method 1100 described above in connection with Figures 11A-11D. For example, the user interfaces, user interface objects, user inputs, and user input devices described above with reference to method 1100 optionally have one or more of the features of the user interfaces, user interface objects, user inputs, and user input devices described herein with reference to other methods described herein (e.g., methods 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, and 1200). For the sake of brevity, these details will not be repeated here.

[0418] 12A-12E are flow diagrams illustrating a method 1200 of navigating through media content according to some embodiments. Method 1200 is performed on an electronic device (e.g., device 300 of FIG. 3 or portable multifunction device 100 of FIG. 1A) in communication with a display. In some embodiments, the electronic device communicates with a user input device (e.g., a remote user input device such as a remote control) having a touch-sensitive surface. In some embodiments, the display is a touchscreen display, and the touch-sensitive surface is on or integrated with the display. In some embodiments, the display is separate from the touch-sensitive surface. In some embodiments, the user input device is integrated with the electronic device. In some embodiments, the user input device is separate from the electronic device. Some operations of method 1200 are, optionally, combined, and / or the order of some operations is, optionally, changed.

[0419] As described below, method 1200 provides an efficient way to navigate through media content using two different playback navigation modes. The method creates a more efficient human-machine interface by reducing the number, range, and / or nature of inputs from the user when navigating through media content. For battery-powered electronic devices, allowing users to navigate through media content more quickly and efficiently conserves power and extends the time between battery charges.

[0420] While the electronic device is operating (1202) in a first playback navigation mode (e.g., a chapter playback navigation mode), the device provides (1204) first video information for display on a display. The first video information includes information corresponding to one or more of: frames of the video, a scrubber bar representing a timeline of the video, a first playhead (e.g., a progress playhead) indicating a current playback position in the scrubber bar, and a plurality of playback position markers (e.g., chapter markers or other milestone markers in the scrubber bar) that are separate from the first playhead and indicate predetermined playback positions in the video. For example, as shown in FIG. 5UUUU, the device is providing, on display 450, first video information corresponding to the first playback navigation mode or the chapter playback navigation mode. In this example, the first video information includes information corresponding to one or more of frames of the video, a scrubber bar 5302, a first playhead 5304, and a plurality of playback position markers 5314. In some embodiments, one or more frames of the video correspond to a first playback position in the scrubber bar (e.g., one or more frames of the video sent to the display are centered around the first playhead position). In some embodiments, the first playhead indicates the current playback position in the scrubber bar, at which the video is playing or paused. In some embodiments, the playback position marker is a chapter marker or other milestone marker in the timeline of the video being displayed.

[0421] While the device is operating in the first playback navigation mode (1202), the device also receives (1206) input corresponding to a user request to switch to a second playback navigation mode (e.g., continuous playback navigation mode). For example, the device receives input corresponding to a playback navigation mode switch gesture on a touch-sensitive surface in communication with the device. For example, in FIG. 5UUUU, user input 5174 (e.g., an upward swipe gesture) is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 of a user input device. In some embodiments, the user input device is a remote control 5001 that is separate from the device, and the device receives a signal corresponding to user input 5174 from remote control 5001. In some embodiments, the device itself detects the input (e.g., a button press on the device). In some embodiments, the input is a gesture (e.g., a swipe, drag, or tap), a button press, or a movement on the user input device (e.g., raising or lowering remote control 5001) detected on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., surface 451). In some embodiments, the mode-switching gesture is performed anywhere on the touch-sensitive surface.

[0422] In response to receiving input corresponding to a user request to switch to the second playback navigation mode, the device transitions 1208 from operating in the first playback navigation mode to operating in a second playback navigation mode (e.g., a continuous or granular playback navigation mode). For example, as shown in FIG. 5VVVV, in response to receiving user input 5174 shown in FIG. 5UUUU, the device transitions from operating in the first playback navigation mode displayed in FIG. 5UUUU to operating in the second playback navigation mode displayed in FIG. 5VVVV. In some embodiments, the first playback navigation mode enables navigation through the video displayed on display 450 based on predetermined position markers (e.g., chapter markers). In some embodiments, the second playback navigation mode enables navigation through the video displayed on display 450 on a finer scale (e.g., second by second or fractions).

[0423] While the device is operating in the second playback navigation mode (1210), the device provides the display with second video information for display (1212). The second video information includes information corresponding to one or more of a frame of video, a scrubber bar, and the first playhead (e.g., FIG. 5VVVV).

[0424] In some embodiments, the secondary video information includes information corresponding to a second playhead (e.g., second playhead 5308) that indicates a first navigation position in the scrubber bar (e.g., a position in the scrubber bar 5302 that is distinct from the current playback position and that the second playhead points to and to which the first playhead 5304 moves upon receiving input indicating that the first navigation position is to become the current playback position) (1214, FIG. 12B). In some embodiments, the secondary video information includes text that indicates the first navigation position in the scrubber bar (1216). For example, as shown in FIG. 5WWW, the secondary video information includes information corresponding to the second playhead 5308 and second playhead text 5312. The second playhead 5308 indicates the position in the scrubber bar (or the timeline of the video being displayed) to which the first playhead will move upon receiving input corresponding to a request to move the first playhead to the position of the second playhead (e.g., in FIG. 5XXXX, the first playhead 5304 moves to the position of the second playhead 5308 in response to user input 5179 as shown in FIG. 5WWWW).

[0425] In some embodiments, the second video information includes (1218) information corresponding to a preview pane (e.g., preview pane 5310 in FIG. 5VVVV). In some embodiments, the preview pane is configured for display adjacent to (e.g., above) the second playhead in the scrubber bar. The preview pane includes one or more frames of video that correspond to the navigation position of the second playhead in the scrubber bar. In some embodiments, the preview pane also includes metadata for one or more frames (e.g., timestamps, subtitles, etc.). For example, FIG. 5CCCC shows a display of preview pane 5310. In this example, the information for displaying preview pane 5310 includes at least the currently displayed frame that corresponds to second playhead 5308 and second playhead text 5312. In this example, the second playhead 5308 and second playhead text 5312 correspond to the same location in the scrubber bar 5302 as the first playhead 5304 (e.g., immediately upon displaying the preview pane 5310), so that the preview pane 5310 displays frames of the video at the same time as the frames are displayed in the video playback view 5300. In some embodiments, the first video information also includes information corresponding to the preview pane.

[0426] In some embodiments, the preview pane 5310 follows the second playhead 5308, such that the second playhead 5308 is centered below the preview pane 5310. An example of this can be seen in FIG. 5DDDD. However, in some embodiments, the preview pane 5310 is displayed offset from the second playhead 5308 (e.g., the preview pane 5310 is off-center with respect to the second playhead 5308), as seen in FIG. 5CCCC. In this example, the second playhead 5308 is displayed far to the left along the scrubber bar 5302, and the preview pane 5310 is displayed above the second playhead 5308, with one edge of the preview pane 5308 aligned with one edge of the display 450 or video playback view 5300. In some embodiments, while the second playhead 5308 moves in a first direction (e.g., toward the right), the preview pane 5310 remains displayed in a fixed position (e.g., at the leftmost or rightmost edge of the display 450) until the second playhead 5308 is centered relative to the preview pane 5310, at which point both the preview pane 5310 and the second playhead 5308 move in the first direction.

[0427] In some embodiments, the device receives (1220) input corresponding to a request to display the preview pane, and, in response to receiving the input corresponding to the request to display the preview pane, provides information corresponding to the preview pane to the display. For example, as shown in Figures 5BBBB and 5CCCC, user input 5159 (e.g., a tap gesture) is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 (e.g., device 100 or 300 receives a signal corresponding to this input), and in response to receiving user input 5159, preview pane 5310 and second playhead 5308 are displayed in video playback view 5300, as shown in Figure 5CCCC.
