Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present disclosure relates generally to computer user interfaces, and more specifically, to techniques for displaying affordances associated with physical activity.
[0002] [Priority claim] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 506,304, entitled "DISPLAYING A SCROLLABLE LIST OF AFFORDANCES ASSOCIATED WITH PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES," filed May 15, 2017, and U.S. Patent Application No. 15 / 705,849, entitled "DISPLAYING A SCROLLABLE LIST OF AFFORDANCES ASSOCIATED WITH PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES," filed September 15, 2017, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. [Background technology]
[0003] Many modern electronic devices provide the ability to control workout tracking functions. Some techniques for controlling workout tracking functions require multiple user inputs. These techniques can be cumbersome and inefficient. Summary of the Invention
[0004] However, some techniques for displaying affordances associated with physical activity using electronic devices are generally cumbersome and inefficient. For example, some existing techniques use complex and time-consuming user interfaces that may involve multiple key presses or keystrokes. Existing techniques take more time than necessary, wasting the user's time and the device's energy. The latter problem is particularly acute in battery-operated devices.
[0005] Thus, the present technology provides electronic devices with faster, more efficient methods and interfaces for displaying affordances associated with physical activity. Such methods and interfaces, optionally, complement or replace other methods for displaying affordances associated with physical activity. Such methods and interfaces reduce the cognitive burden on the user and create a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, such methods and interfaces conserve power and increase the time between battery charges.

[0061] In the following description, terms such as "first" and "second" are used to describe various elements, but these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another element. For example, a first touch can be called a second touch, and a second touch can be called a first touch, without departing from the scope of various embodiments described. Although a first touch and a second touch are both touches, they are not the same touch.
[0062] The terminology used in the description of the various embodiments described herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. In the description of the various embodiments described 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. It should also be understood that as used herein, the term "and / or" refers to and includes any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. It will be further understood that the terms "includes," "including," "comprises," and / or "comprising," as 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.
[0063] The term "if" is interpreted, optionally, depending on the context, to mean "when" or "upon," or "in response to determining" or "in response to detecting." Similarly, the phrase "if it is determined" or "if [a stated condition or event] is detected" is interpreted, optionally, depending on the context, 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]."
[0064] 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 portable communication device, such as a mobile phone, that also includes other functions, such as PDA and / or music player functions. Exemplary embodiments of portable multifunction devices include, but are not limited to, iPhone®, iPod Touch®, and iPad® devices from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, Calif. Optionally, other portable electronic devices, such as laptop or tablet computers with touch-sensitive surfaces (e.g., touchscreen displays and / or touchpads), are also used. It should also be understood that in some embodiments, the device is not a portable communication device, but rather a desktop computer with a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touchscreen displays and / or touchpads).
[0065] In the following discussion, electronic devices are described that include a display and a touch-sensitive surface, however, it should be understood that the electronic device optionally includes one or more other physical user-interface devices, such as a physical keyboard, a mouse, and / or a joystick.
[0066] The device typically supports a variety of applications, such as one or more of a drawing application, a presentation application, a word processing application, a website creation application, a disk authoring application, a spreadsheet application, a gaming application, a telephone application, a videoconferencing 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 player application, and / or a digital video player application.
[0067] The 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 features of the touch-sensitive surface and corresponding information displayed on the device are optionally adjusted and / or changed for each application and / or within each application. In this manner, the common physical architecture of the device (such as the touch-sensitive surface) optionally supports a variety of applications with user interfaces that are intuitive and transparent to the user.
[0068] Attention is now directed to embodiments of portable devices with touch-sensitive displays. FIG. 1A is a block diagram illustrating a portable multifunction device 100 having a touch-sensitive display system 112 according to some embodiments. Touch-sensitive display 112 may be conveniently referred to as a "touch screen" and may also be known or referred to as a "touch-sensitive display system." Device 100 includes memory 102 (optionally including one or more 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 control devices 116, and external port 124. Device 100 optionally includes one or more optical sensors 164. Device 100 optionally includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165 that detect 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 that generate tactile output on device 100 (e.g., generate 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 over one or more communication buses or signal lines 103.
[0069] As used herein and in the claims, the term “intensity” of a contact on a touch-sensitive surface refers to the force or pressure (force per unit area) of a contact (e.g., a finger contact) on the touch-sensitive surface, or a proxy for the force or pressure of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface. The intensity of a contact has a range of values including at least four distinct values, and more typically including hundreds (e.g., at least 256) distinct values. The intensity of a contact is optionally determined (or measured) using various techniques and various sensors or combinations of sensors. For example, one or more force sensors under or adjacent to the touch-sensitive surface are optionally used to measure the force at various points on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, force measurements from multiple force sensors are combined (e.g., a weighted average) to determine an estimated force of the contact. Similarly, a pressure-sensitive tip of a stylus is optionally used to determine the pressure of the stylus on the touch-sensitive surface. Alternatively, the size and / or change in the contact area detected on the touch-sensitive surface, the capacitance and / or change in the capacitance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate the contact, and / or the resistance and / or change in the capacitance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate the contact, are optionally used as a surrogate for the force or pressure of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, the surrogate measurement for the force or pressure of the contact is used directly to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is described in units that correspond to the surrogate measurement). In some implementations, the surrogate measurement for the contact force or pressure is converted to an estimated force or pressure, and the estimated force or pressure is used to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is a pressure threshold measured in units of pressure). Using the intensity of contact as an attribute of user input allows a user access to additional device functionality that may not otherwise be accessible by a user on devices of reduced size that have limited area for displaying affordances (e.g., on a touch-sensitive display) and / or receiving user input (e.g., via a touch-sensitive display, touch-sensitive surface, or physical / mechanical controls such as knobs or buttons).
[0070] As used herein and in the claims, the term "tactile output" refers to a physical displacement of a device relative to a previous position of the device, a physical displacement of a component of the device (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface) relative to another component of the device (e.g., a housing), or a displacement of a component relative to the center of mass of the device, that will be detected by a user with the user's sense of touch. For example, in a situation where a device or a component of a device is in contact with a touch-sensitive surface of a user (e.g., the fingers, palm, or other part of a user's hand), the tactile output generated by the physical displacement will be interpreted by the user as a tactile sensation corresponding to a perceived change in 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 "down-click" or "up-click" of a physical actuator button. In some cases, a user feels a tactile sensation such as a "down-click" or "up-click" 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 action. As another example, movement of a touch-sensitive surface is optionally interpreted or sensed by a user as "roughness" of the touch-sensitive surface, even when there is no change in the smoothness of the touch-sensitive surface. Such user interpretation of touch depends on the user's personal sensory perception, but there are many sensory perceptions of touch that are common to a majority of users. Thus, when a tactile output is described as corresponding to a particular sensory perception of a user (e.g., an "up click," a "down click," "roughness"), unless otherwise noted, 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.
[0071] It is 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 its components. The various components shown in FIG. 1A may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of both hardware and software, including one or more signal processing circuits and / or application specific integrated circuits.
[0072] Memory 102 optionally includes high-speed random access memory, and optionally includes non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic disk storage devices, flash memory devices, or other non-volatile solid-state memory devices. A memory controller 122 optionally controls access to memory 102 by other components of device 100.
[0073] The peripherals interface 118 can be used to couple input and output peripherals of the device to the CPU 120 and memory 102. The one or more processors 120 operate or execute various software programs and / or instruction sets stored in the memory 102 to perform various functions and process data for the device 100. In some embodiments, the peripherals interface 118, the CPU 120, and the memory controller 122 are optionally implemented on a single chip, such as the chip 104. In some other embodiments, they are optionally implemented on separate chips.
[0074] The radio frequency (RF) circuitry 108 transmits and receives RF signals, also referred to as electromagnetic signals. The RF circuitry 108 converts electrical signals to electromagnetic signals or electromagnetic signals to electrical signals and communicates with communication networks and other communication devices via electromagnetic signals. The RF circuitry 108 optionally includes well-known circuits for performing these functions, including, but not limited to, an antenna system, an RF transceiver, one or more amplifiers, a tuner, one or more oscillators, a digital signal processor, a CODEC chipset, a subscriber identity module (SIM) card, memory, etc. The RF circuitry 108 optionally communicates with networks, such as the Internet, also referred to as the World Wide Web (WWW), an intranet, and / or wireless networks, such as cellular telephone networks, wireless local area networks (LANs) and / or metropolitan area networks (MANs), and with other devices, by wireless communication. RF circuitry 108 optionally includes well known circuitry for detecting near field communication (NFC) fields, such as by short-range radios. Wireless communication optionally includes, but is not limited to, Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), Enhanced Data GSM Environment (EDGE), high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA), high-speed uplink packet access (HSUPA), Evolution, Data-Only (EV-DO), HSPA, HSPA+, Dual-Cell HSPA (DC-HSPA), long term evolution (EV-DO), and other related technologies.Wireless technology includes, but is not limited to, wireless technology such as LTE evolution, near field communications (NFC), wideband code division multiple access (W-CDMA), code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE), Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) (e.g., IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g, IEEE 802.11n, and / or IEEE 802.11ac), voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), Wi-MAX, protocols for email (e.g., Internet message access protocol (IMAP) and / or post office protocol (POP)), instant messaging (e.g., extensible messaging and presence protocol), and wireless technology such as wireless cellular (WLAN). The present invention may use any of a number of communications standards, protocols, and technologies, including Session Initiation Protocol for Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions (XMPP), Session Initiation Protocol for Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions (SIMPLE), Instant Messaging and Presence Service (IMPS), and / or Short Message Service (SMS), or any other suitable communications protocol, including communications protocols not yet developed as of the filing date of this application.
[0075] The audio circuit 110, the speaker 111, and the microphone 113 provide an audio interface between the user and the device 100. The audio circuit 110 receives audio data from the peripherals interface 118, converts the audio data into an electrical signal, and transmits the electrical signal to the speaker 111. The speaker 111 converts the electrical signal into human audible sound waves. The audio circuit 110 also receives an electrical signal converted from the sound wave by the microphone 113. The audio circuit 110 converts the electrical signal into audio data, and transmits the audio data to the peripherals interface 118 for processing. The audio data is optionally retrieved from and / or transmitted to the memory 102 and / or the RF circuit 108 by the peripherals interface 118. In some embodiments, the audio circuit 110 also includes a headset jack (e.g., 212 in FIG. 2). The headset jack provides an interface between audio circuitry 110 and a detachable audio input / output peripheral such as an output-only headphone or a headset that has both an output (e.g., one-ear or binaural headphones) and an input (e.g., a microphone).
[0076] The I / O subsystem 106 couples input / output peripherals on the device 100, such as the touch screen 112 and other input control devices 116, to a peripheral interface 118. The I / O subsystem 106 optionally includes a display controller 156, a light sensor controller 158, an intensity sensor controller 159, a haptic feedback controller 161, and one or more input controllers 160 for other input or control devices. The one or more input controllers 160 receive / send electrical signals from / to the other input control devices 116. The other input 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, the input controller(s) 160 are optionally coupled to any (or none) of a keyboard, an infrared port, a USB port, and a pointer device such as a mouse. The one or more buttons (e.g., 208 in FIG. 2) optionally include up and down buttons for volume control of speaker 111 and / or microphone 113. The one or more buttons optionally include a push button (e.g., 206 in FIG. 2).
[0077] A quick press of the push button optionally disengages the lock on the touch screen 112 or optionally initiates the process of unlocking the device using a gesture on the touch screen, as described in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 11 / 322,549, filed December 23, 2005, “Unlocking a Device by Performing Gestures on an Unlock Image,” U.S. Patent No. 7,657,849, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. A longer press of the push button (e.g., 206) optionally turns power on or off to the device 100. The functionality of one or more of the buttons is optionally customizable by the user. The touch screen 112 is used to implement virtual or soft buttons and one or more soft keyboards.
[0078] The touch-sensitive display 112 provides an input and output interface between the device and a user. The display controller 156 receives and / or transmits electrical signals from and to the touchscreen 112. The touchscreen 112 displays visual output to the user. This visual output optionally includes graphics, text, icons, video, and any combination thereof (collectively "graphics"). In some embodiments, some or all of the visual output optionally corresponds to user interface objects.
[0079] Touchscreen 112 has a touch-sensitive surface, sensor, or set of sensors that receive input from a user based on haptic and / or tactile contact. Touchscreen 112 and display controller 156 (along with any associated modules and / or sets of instructions in memory 102) detects contacts (and any movement or interruption of contact) on touchscreen 112 and translates the detected contacts into interactions with user interface objects (e.g., one or more soft keys, icons, web pages, or images) that are displayed on touchscreen 112. In an exemplary embodiment, the point of contact between touchscreen 112 and the user corresponds to the user's finger.
[0080] Touchscreen 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. Touchscreen 112 and display controller 156 optionally detect contact and any movement or interruption 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 that determine one or more points of contact with touchscreen 112. In an exemplary embodiment, projected mutual capacitance sensing technology is used, such as that found in the iPhone® and iPod Touch® from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, Calif.
[0081] The touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of touchscreen 112 is optionally similar to the multi-touch-sensing touchpad described in U.S. Patent Nos. 6,323,846 (Westerman et al.), 6,570,557 (Westerman et al.), and / or 6,677,932 (Westerman), and / or U.S. Patent Publication No. 2002 / 0015024A1, each of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. However, whereas touchscreen 112 displays visual output from device 100, a touch-sensitive touchpad does not provide visual output.
[0082] The touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of the touch screen 112 may be any of the touch-sensitive displays described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 381,313, filed May 2, 2006, entitled "Multipoint Touch Surface Controller," (2) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 840,862, filed May 6, 2004, entitled "Multipoint Touchscreen," (3) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 903,964, filed July 30, 2004, entitled "Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices," (4) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 048,264, filed January 31, 2005, entitled "Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices," and (5) U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 038,590, filed January 18, 2005, entitled "Mode-Based Graphical User Interfaces For Touch Sensitive Input No. 11 / 228,758, filed Sep. 16, 2005, entitled "Virtual Input Device Placement On A Touch Screen User Interface," (7) U.S. Patent Application No. 11 / 228,700, filed Sep. 16, 2005, entitled "Operation Of A Computer With A Touch Screen Interface," (8) U.S. Patent Application No. 11 / 228,737, filed Sep. 16, 2005, entitled "Activating Virtual Keys Of A Touch-Screen Virtual Keyboard," and (9) U.S. Patent Application No. 11 / 367,749, filed Mar. 3, 2006, entitled "Multi-Functional Hand-Held Device," all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
[0083] Touch screen 112 optionally has a video resolution of greater than 100 dpi. In some embodiments, the touch screen has a video resolution of approximately 160 dpi. A user optionally contacts touch screen 112 using any suitable object or appendage, such as a stylus, finger, etc. In some embodiments, the user interface is designed to primarily handle finger-based contacts and gestures, which may not be as precise as stylus-based input due to the larger contact area of a finger on a touch screen. In some embodiments, the device translates the coarse finger-based input into precise pointer / cursor positions or commands to perform actions desired by the user.
[0084] 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 that is separate from touchscreen 112 or an extension of the touch-sensitive surface formed by the touchscreen.
[0085] Device 100 also includes a power system 162 that provides power to the various components. Power system 162 optionally includes a power management system, one or more power sources (e.g., batteries, alternating current (AC)), a recharging system, power failure detection circuitry, power converters or inverters, power status indicators (e.g., light emitting diodes (LEDs)), and any other components associated with the generation, management, and distribution of power within a portable device.
[0086] 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 164 optionally includes a charge-coupled device (CCD) or a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistor. Light sensor 164 receives light from the environment projected through one or more lenses and converts the light into data representing an image. Light sensor 164 optionally works in conjunction with imaging module 143 (also called a camera module) to capture still images or video. In some embodiments, the light sensor is located on the back of device 100 as opposed to touchscreen display 112 on the front of the device, so that the touchscreen display is effective for use as a viewfinder for acquisition of still and / or video images. In some embodiments, the light sensor is located on the front of the device so that an image of the user is obtained, optionally for videoconferencing, and the user sees other videoconference participants on the touchscreen display. In some embodiments, the position of the light sensor 164 can be changed by the user (e.g., by rotating the lens and sensor within the device housing), so that a single light sensor 164 is used for both videoconferencing and capturing still and / or video images, along with the touchscreen display.
[0087] Device 100 also optionally includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165. FIG. 1A shows a contact intensity sensor coupled to intensity sensor controller 159 in I / O subsystem 106. Contact intensity sensor 165 optionally includes one or more piezoresistive strain gauges, capacitive force sensors, electrical force sensors, piezoelectric force sensors, optical force sensors, capacitive touch-sensitive surfaces, or other intensity sensors (e.g., sensors used to measure the force (or pressure) of a contact on a touch-sensitive surface). Contact intensity sensor 165 receives 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 juxtaposed with or proximate to a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touch-sensitive display system 112). In some embodiments, at least one contact intensity sensor is located on the back side of device 100 as opposed to touchscreen display 112 located on the front side of device 100.
[0088] Device 100 also optionally includes one or more proximity sensors 166. Figure 1A shows proximity sensor 166 coupled to peripherals interface 118. Alternatively, proximity sensor 166 is optionally coupled to an input controller 160 within I / O subsystem 106. The proximity sensor 166 optionally functions as described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 241,839, "Proximity Detector In Handheld Device," Ser. No. 11 / 240,788, "Proximity Detector In Handheld Device," Ser. No. 11 / 620,702, "Using Ambient Light Sensor To Augment Proximity Sensor Output," Ser. No. 11 / 586,862, "Automated Response To And Sensing Of User Activity In Portable Devices," and Ser. No. 11 / 638,251, "Methods And Systems For Automatic Configuration Of Peripherals," which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties. In some embodiments, the proximity sensor turns off and disables the touch screen 112 when the multifunction device is placed near the user's ear (e.g., when the user is making a phone call).
[0089] Device 100 also optionally includes one or more tactile output generators 167. FIG. 1A shows a tactile output generator coupled to haptic feedback controller 161 in I / O subsystem 106. Tactile output generator 167 optionally includes 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). Contact intensity sensor 165 receives tactile feedback generation instructions from haptic feedback module 133 and generates a tactile output on device 100 that can be sensed by a user of device 100. In some embodiments, at least one tactile output generator is disposed on or proximate to a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touch-sensitive display system 112) and generates a tactile output, optionally by moving the touch-sensitive surface vertically (e.g., in / out of the surface of device 100) or horizontally (e.g., back and forth in the same plane as the surface of device 100). In some embodiments, the at least one tactile output generator sensor is located on the back side of device 100, as opposed to touchscreen display 112, which is located on the front side of device 100.
[0090] 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. Accelerometer 168 optionally functions as described in U.S. Patent Publication No. 20050190059, “Acceleration-based Theft Detection System for Portable Electronic Devices,” and U.S. Patent Publication No. 20060017692, “Methods And Apparatuses For Operating A Portable Device Based On An Accelerometer,” both of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. In some embodiments, information is displayed on the touchscreen display in portrait or landscape view based on analysis of data received from the one or more accelerometers. Device 100 optionally includes an accelerometer(s) 168, as well as 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.
[0091] In some embodiments, the software components stored in memory 102 include an operating system 126, a communication module (or instruction set) 128, a touch / motion module (or instruction set) 130, a graphics module (or instruction set) 132, a text input module (or instruction set) 134, a Global Positioning System (GPS) module (or instruction set) 135, and applications (or instruction sets) 136. Additionally, in some embodiments, memory 102 (FIG. 1A) or 370 (FIG. 3) stores device / global internal state 157, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 3. Device / global internal state 157 includes one or more of an active application state, indicating which applications, if any, are currently active; a display state, indicating which applications, views, or other information are occupying various regions of touchscreen display 112; a sensor state, including information obtained from various sensors and input control devices 116 of the device; and location information relating to the location and / or orientation of the device.
[0092] Operating system 126 (e.g., Darwin®, RTXC®, LINUX®, UNIX®, OS X®, iOS®, WINDOWS®, or an embedded operating system such as VxWorks®) includes various software components and / or drivers that control and manage normal system tasks (e.g., memory management, control of storage devices, power management, etc.) and facilitate communication between the various hardware and software components.
[0093] Communications module 128 also includes various software components for facilitating communication with other devices via one or more external ports 124 and 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., Internet, wireless LAN, etc.). In some embodiments, the external port is a multi-pin (e.g., 30-pin) connector that is the same as or similar to and / or compatible with the 30-pin connector used on iPod® (trademark of Apple Inc.) devices.
[0094] Contact / motion module 130 optionally detects contact with touch screen 112 (in conjunction with display controller 156) and other touch-sensing devices (e.g., a touchpad or a physical click wheel). Contact / motion module 130 includes various software components that perform various operations related to detecting contact, such as determining if contact has occurred (e.g., detecting a finger down event), determining the strength of the contact (e.g., the force or pressure of the contact, or a surrogate for the force or pressure of the contact), determining if there is movement of the contact and tracking the movement across the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., detecting one or more finger drag events), and determining if the contact has stopped (e.g., detecting a finger up event or an interruption of the contact). Contact / motion module 130 receives contact data from the touch-sensitive surface. Determining the movement of the contact, as represented by the set of contact data, optionally includes determining the speed (magnitude), velocity (magnitude and direction), and / or acceleration (change in magnitude and / or direction) of the contact. These actions are, optionally, applied to a single contact (e.g., one finger 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 a touchpad.
[0095] In some embodiments, the contact / motion module 130 uses a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an action has been performed by a user (e.g., to determine whether a user has “clicked” on an icon). In some embodiments, at least a subset of the intensity thresholds are determined according to software parameters (e.g., the intensity thresholds are not determined by the activation thresholds of a particular physical actuator, but can be adjusted without changing the physical hardware of the device 100). For example, the mouse “click” threshold of a trackpad or touchscreen display can be set to any of a wide range of predefined thresholds without changing the trackpad or touchscreen display hardware. Additionally, in some implementations, a user of the device is provided with a software setting to adjust one or more of the set of intensity thresholds (e.g., by adjusting individual intensity thresholds and / or multiple intensity thresholds at once via a system-level click “intensity” parameter).
[0096] 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 strength of detected contacts). Thus, gestures are optionally detected by detecting a particular contact pattern. For example, detecting a finger tap gesture includes detecting a finger down event, followed by detecting a finger up (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 the touch-sensitive surface includes detecting a finger down event, followed by one or more finger drag events, followed by detecting a finger up (lift off) event.
[0097] Graphics module 132 includes various known software components that render and display graphics on touchscreen 112 or other display, including components that vary the visual impact (e.g., brightness, transparency, saturation, contrast, or other visual characteristics) of the displayed graphics. As used herein, the term "graphics" includes any object that can be displayed to a user, including, but not limited to, characters, web pages, icons (such as user interface objects including soft keys), digital images, videos, animations, and the like.
[0098] In some embodiments, graphics module 132 stores data representing the graphics to be used. Each graphic is, optionally, assigned a corresponding code. Graphics module 132 receives one or more codes specifying the graphics to be displayed, such as from an application, along with coordinate data and other graphic characteristic data, as appropriate, and then generates screen image data for output to display controller 156.
[0099] The tactile feedback module 133 includes various software components for generating instructions used by the tactile output generator(s) 167 to generate tactile outputs at one or more locations on the device 100 in response to user interaction with the device 100.

In some embodiments, sent and / or received instant messages optionally include graphics, photos, audio files, video files, and / or other attachments supported by MMS and / or Enhanced Messaging Service (EMS). As used herein, "instant messaging" refers to both telephony-based messages (e.g., messages sent using SMS or MMS) and Internet-based messages (e.g., messages sent using XMPP, SIMPLE, or IMPS).
[0109] In conjunction with the RF circuitry 108, touch screen 112, display controller 156, contact / motion module 130, graphics module 132, text input module 134, GPS module 135, map module 154, and music player module, the training support module 142 contains executable instructions for creating workouts (e.g., having time, distance, and / or calorie burn goals), communicating with training sensors (sports devices), receiving training sensor data, calibrating sensors used to monitor workouts, selecting and playing music for workouts, and displaying, storing, and transmitting training data.

In some embodiments, device 100 optionally includes the functionality of an MP3 player, such as an iPod (a trademark of Apple Inc.).
[0118] In conjunction with the touch screen 112, display controller 156, contact / motion module 130, graphics module 132, and text input module 134, the notes module 153 contains executable instructions for creating and managing notes, to-do lists, and the like according to user commands.
[0119] In conjunction with RF circuitry 108, touch screen 112, display controller 156, touch / motion module 130, graphics module 132, text input module 134, GPS module 135, and browser module 147, map module 154 is used to receive, display, modify, and store maps and data associated with the maps (e.g., driving directions, data regarding businesses and other points of interest at or near a particular location, and other location-based data), optionally in accordance with user instructions.
[0120] In conjunction with touchscreen 112, display controller 156, contact / motion module 130, graphics module 132, audio circuitry 110, speaker 111, RF circuitry 108, text input module 134, email client module 140, and browser module 147, online video module 155 includes instructions that enable a user to access, browse for, receive (e.g., by streaming and / or downloading), play (e.g., on the touchscreen or on an external display connected via external port 124) particular online videos, send emails with links to particular online videos, and otherwise manage online videos in one or more file formats, such as H.264. In some embodiments, instant messaging module 141 is used to send links to particular online videos rather than email client module 140. Additional description of online video applications can be found in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 936,562, entitled "Portable Multifunction Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Playing Online Videos," filed June 20, 2007, and U.S. Patent Application No. 11 / 968,067, entitled "Portable Multifunction Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Playing Online Videos," filed December 31, 2007, the contents of which are incorporated by reference in their entireties herein.
[0121] Each of the above-identified modules and applications corresponds to a set of executable instructions that perform one or more of the functions previously described and methods described in this application (e.g., the computer-implemented methods and other information processing methods described herein). These modules (e.g., sets of instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs, procedures, or modules, and thus, in various embodiments, various subsets of these modules are optionally combined or otherwise reconfigured. For example, a video player module is optionally combined with a music player module into a single module (e.g., video and music player module 152 of FIG. 1A). 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.
[0122] In some embodiments, device 100 is a device in which operation of a predefined set of functions on the device is performed exclusively through 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 (push buttons, dials, etc.) on device 100.
[0123] The set of predefined functions performed only through 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, a home menu, or a 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 rather than a touchpad.
[0124] 1B is a block diagram illustrating example components for event processing according to some embodiments. In some embodiments, memory 102 (FIG. 1A) or 370 (FIG. 3) includes an event sorter 170 (e.g., in operating system 126) and a respective application 136-1 (e.g., any of applications 137-151, 155, 380-390 discussed above).
[0125] Event sorter 170 receives the event information and determines which application 136-1 and application view 191 of application 136-1 to which the event information is to be delivered. Event sorter 170 includes an event monitor 171 and an 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 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(s) is currently active, and application internal state 192 is used by event sorter 170 to determine which application view 191 to which the event information is to be delivered.
[0126] 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 that is being displayed or ready to be displayed by application 136-1, a state queue that allows a user to return to a previous state or view of application 136-1, and a redo / undo queue of previous actions taken by the user.
[0127] Event monitor 171 receives event information from peripherals interface 118. The event information includes information about a sub-event (e.g., a user touch on touch-sensitive display 112 as part of a multi-touch gesture). Peripherals interface 118 transmits information it receives from I / O subsystem 106 or sensors such as proximity sensor 166, accelerometer(s) 168, and / or microphone 113 (via audio circuitry 110). Information that peripherals interface 118 receives from I / O subsystem 106 includes information from touch-sensitive display 112 or a touch-sensitive surface.
[0128] In some embodiments, event monitor 171 sends requests to peripherals interface 118 at predetermined intervals. In response, peripherals interface 118 transmits event information. In other embodiments, peripherals interface 118 transmits event information only when there is a significant event (e.g., receipt of an input above a predetermined noise threshold and / or for a predetermined duration).
[0129] In some embodiments, the event sorter 170 also includes a hit view determination module 172 and / or an active event recognizer determination module 173 .
[0130] Hit view determination module 172 provides software procedures that determine where a sub-event occurred within one or more views when touch-sensitive display 112 displays more than one view. A view consists of the controls and other elements that a user can see on the display.
[0131] Another aspect of a user interface associated with an application is the set of views, sometimes referred to herein as application views or user interface windows, in which information is displayed and touch-based gestures occur. The application view (of the respective application) in which the touch is detected optionally corresponds to a programmatic level within the programmatic or view hierarchy of the application. For example, the lowest level view in which the touch is detected is optionally referred to as a hit view, and the set of events that are recognized as suitable inputs is optionally determined based at least in part on the hit view of the initial touch that initiates the touch gesture.
[0132] Hit view determination module 172 receives information related to sub-events of a touch-based gesture. When an application has multiple views organized in a hierarchy, hit view determination module 172 identifies the hit view as the lowest view in the hierarchy that should process the sub-events. In most situations, the hit view is the lowest level view in which an initiating sub-event (e.g., the first sub-event in a sub-event sequence that forms an event or potential event) occurs. After a hit view is identified by hit view determination module 172, the hit view typically receives all sub-events related to the same touch or input source as identified as the hit view.
[0133] Active event recognizer determination module 173 determines which view(s) in the view hierarchy should receive the particular sequence of sub-events. In some embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that only the hit view should receive the 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-event are actively participating views, and therefore all actively participating views should receive the particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, even if the touch sub-event is completely confined to an area associated with one particular view, views higher in the hierarchy still remain actively participating views.
[0134] Event dispatcher module 174 dispatches the event information to event recognizers (e.g., event recognizer 180). In embodiments that include active event recognizer determination module 173, event dispatcher module 174 delivers 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 182 in an event queue.
[0135] In some embodiments, operating system 126 includes event sorter 170. Alternatively, application 136-1 includes event sorter 170. In yet 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.
[0136] In some embodiments, application 136-1 includes multiple event handlers 190 and one or more application views 191, each including instructions for handling touch events occurring 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 the 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, the corresponding event handler 190 includes one or more of a data updater 176, an object updater 177, a 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 include one or more respective event handlers 190. Also, in some embodiments, one or more of the data updater 176, the object updater 177, and the GUI updater 178 are included in the corresponding application view 191.
[0137] 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 also includes at least a subset of metadata 183 and event delivery instructions 188 (optionally including sub-event delivery instructions).
[0138] The event receiver 182 receives event information from the event sorter 170. The event information includes information about a sub-event, e.g., information about a touch or a movement of a touch. Depending on the sub-event, the event information also includes additional information, such as a position of the sub-event. When the sub-event involves a movement of a touch, the event information also optionally includes a speed and a 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 to landscape or vice versa), and the event information includes corresponding information about the current orientation of the device (also referred to as the device's attitude).
[0139] The event comparator 184 compares the event information to 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 definitions of events (e.g., a sequence of predefined sub-events), such as event 1 (187-1) and event 2 (187-2). In some embodiments, sub-events in an event (187) include, for example, touch start, touch end, touch movement, touch cancellation, and multiple touches. In one example, the definition for event 1 (187-1) is a double tap on a displayed object. The double tap includes, for example, a first touch on a displayed object for a given stage (touch start), a first lift-off (touch end) for a given stage, a second touch on a displayed object for a given stage (touch start), and a second lift-off (touch end) for a given stage. In another example, a definition of event 2 (187-2) is a drag on a displayed object. Drag includes, for example, a touch (or contact) of a displayed object to a predetermined stage, a movement of a touch on the touch-sensitive display 112, and a lift-off of the touch (end of touch). In some embodiments, the event also includes information about one or more associated event handlers 190.
[0140] In some embodiments, event definition 187 includes a definition of the event for each user interface object. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which user interface object is associated with the sub-event. For example, in an application view in which three user interface objects are displayed on touch-sensitive display 112, when a touch is detected on touch-sensitive display 112, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which of the three user interface objects is associated with the touch (sub-event). If each displayed object is associated with a corresponding event handler 190, event comparator 184 uses the results of the hit test to determine which event handler 190 to activate. For example, event comparator 184 selects the event handler associated with the sub-event and object that triggers the hit test.
[0141] In some embodiments, the definition for each event (187) also includes a delay action that delays sending the event information until after it has been determined whether the sub-event sequence corresponds to the event type of the event recognizer.
[0142] 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 goes into an event disabled state, an event failed state, or an event finished state and thereafter ignores subsequent sub-events of the touch gesture. In this situation, any other event recognizers that remain active for the hit view continue to track and process sub-events of the ongoing touch gesture.
[0143] In some embodiments, corresponding event recognizers 180 include metadata 183 with configurable properties, flags, and / or lists that indicate to actively participating event recognizers how the event delivery system should perform sub-event delivery. In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and / or lists that indicate how event recognizers interact with each other or are enabled to interact with each other. In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and / or lists that indicate how sub-events are delivered to various levels in a view or programmatic hierarchy.
[0144] In some embodiments, each event recognizer 180 activates an event handler 190 associated with an event when one or more particular sub-events of the event are recognized. In some embodiments, each event recognizer 180 delivers event information associated with the event to the event handler 190. Activating the event handler 190 is separate from sending (and postponing sending) the sub-events to the respective hit view. In some embodiments, the event recognizer 180 pops a flag associated with the recognized event, and the event handler 190 associated with the flag captures the flag and performs predefined processing.
[0145] In some embodiments, the event delivery instructions 188 include sub-event delivery instructions that deliver event information about a sub-event without activating an event handler. Instead, the sub-event delivery instructions deliver the event information to an event handler associated with a set of sub-events or to an actively participating view. The event handler associated with the set of sub-events or the actively participating view receives the event information and performs a predetermined process.
[0146] In some embodiments, data updater 176 creates and updates data used by application 136-1. For example, data updater 176 updates phone numbers used by contacts module 137 or stores video files used by a video player module. In some embodiments, object updater 177 creates and updates objects used by application 136-1. For example, object updater 177 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 the display information to graphics module 132 for display on the touch-sensitive display.
[0147] In some embodiments, event handler(s) 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 a respective application 136-1 or application view 191. In other embodiments, they are included in two or more software modules.
[0148] It will be appreciated that the above discussion regarding event processing of user touches on a touch-sensitive display also applies to other forms of user input for operating multifunction device 100 having input devices, not all of which are necessarily initiated on a touch screen. For example, mouse movements and mouse button presses, tactile movements such as tapping, dragging, scrolling on a touchpad, optionally coordinated with single or multiple presses or holds of a keyboard, pen stylus input, device movements, verbal commands, detected eye movements, biometric input, and / or any combination thereof, are optionally utilized as inputs corresponding to sub-events that define the event to be recognized.
[0149] FIG. 2 illustrates portable multifunction device 100 with touch screen 112 according to some embodiments. The touch screen optionally displays one or more graphics in user interface (UI) 200. In this embodiment, as well as other embodiments described below, a user may select one or more of the graphics by performing a gesture on the graphics, for example, using 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 is performed when the user breaks contact with the 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, upwards, and / or downwards), and / or a roll of a finger (right to left, left to right, upwards, and / or downwards) in contact with device 100. In some implementations or situations, accidental contact with a graphic does not select the graphic. For example, if the gesture corresponding to selection is a tap, a swipe gesture sweeping over an application icon optionally does not select the corresponding application.
[0150] Device 100 also optionally includes one or more physical buttons, such as a "home" button or menu button 204. As previously mentioned, menu button 204 is optionally used to navigate to any application 136, optionally within a set of applications executing on device 100. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the menu button is implemented as a soft key within a GUI displayed on touch screen 112.
[0151] In some embodiments, device 100 includes touch screen 112, menu button 204, push button 206 for powering the device on / off and locking the device, volume control button(s) 208, subscriber identity module (SIM) card slot 210, headset jack 212, and external port 124 for docking / charging. Push button 206 is optionally used to power the device on / off by pressing and holding the button down for a predefined time interval, to lock the device by pressing and releasing the button before the predefined time interval has elapsed, and / or to unlock the device or initiate an unlocking process. In alternative embodiments, device 100 also accepts verbal input via microphone 113 to activate or deactivate some functions. Device 100 also optionally includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165 for detecting the intensity of a contact on touch screen 112 and / or one or more tactile output generators 167 for generating a tactile output to a user of device 100.
[0152] FIG. 3 is a block diagram of an exemplary multifunction device having 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 playback 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 that interconnect 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, a touchpad 355, a tactile output generator 357 (e.g., similar to tactile output generator 167 described above with reference to FIG. 1A) that generates tactile output on device 300, and sensors 359 (e.g., light, acceleration, proximity, touch-sensing, 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 solid-state 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 solid-state 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, the programs, modules, and data structures stored in memory 102 of portable multifunction device 100 (FIG. 1A). Additionally, memory 370 optionally stores additional programs, modules, and data structures not present in memory 102 of portable multifunction device 100. For example, memory 370 of device 300 optionally stores drawing module 380, presentation module 382, word processing module 384, website creation module 386, disk authoring module 388, and / or spreadsheet module 390, whereas memory 102 of portable multifunction device 100 (FIG. 1A) optionally does not store these modules.
[0153] Each of the above-identified elements of FIG. 3 is optionally stored in one or more of the memory devices mentioned above. Each of the above-identified modules corresponds to a set of instructions that perform the functions described above. The above-identified modules or programs (e.g., sets of instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs, procedures, or modules, and thus in various embodiments, various subsets of these modules are optionally combined or otherwise reconfigured. 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.
[0154] Attention is now directed to embodiments of a user interface, optionally implemented, for example, on portable multifunction device 100.
[0155] 4A shows an exemplary user interface for a menu of applications on portable multifunction device 100 in accordance with some embodiments. A similar user interface is optionally implemented on device 300. In some embodiments, user interface 400 includes the following elements, or a subset or superset thereof: ● signal strength indicator(s) 402 for wireless communication(s), such as cellular and Wi-Fi signals; ●Time 404, ●Bluetooth (registered trademark) indicator 405, ● 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 of 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 of 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 of IM module 141, labeled "Messages"; ○ Icon 426 of the calendar module 148, labeled "Calendar", ○ Icon 428 of the image management module 144, labeled "Photos"; ○ An icon 430 of the camera module 143, labeled “camera”; ○ Icon 432 of the online video module 155, labeled "Online Video"; ○ Icon 434 of Stocks widget 149-2, labeled "Stock Prices"; ○ An icon 436 for the map module 154, labeled "Map"; ○ Icon 438 of weather widget 149-1, labeled "Weather"; ○ Icon 440 of alarm clock widget 149-4, labeled "Clock"; ○ Icon 442 of Training Support Module 142, labeled "Training Support"; ○ An icon 444 of the Notes module 153, labeled "Notes"; and o An icon 446 for a settings application or module labeled “Settings” that provides access to settings for the device 100 and its various applications 136.
[0156] 4A are merely exemplary. For example, icon 422 for video and music player module 152 may be labeled "Music" or "Music Player," although other labels are optionally used for the various application icons. In some embodiments, the label for each application icon includes the name of the application that corresponds to the respective application icon. In some embodiments, the label for a particular application icon is different from the name of the application that corresponds to that particular application icon.
[0157] 4B shows an example user interface on a device (e.g., device 300 of FIG. 3) that has a touch-sensitive surface 451 (e.g., tablet or touchpad 355 of FIG. 3) that is separate from display 450 (e.g., touchscreen display 112). Device 300 also optionally includes one or more contact intensity sensors (e.g., one or more of sensors 359) that detect the intensity of a contact on touch-sensitive surface 451 and / or one or more tactile output generators 357 that generate a tactile output to a user of device 300.
[0158] Although some of the following examples are given with reference to input on touch screen display 112 (wherein the touch-sensitive surface and display are combined), in some embodiments the device detects input on a touch-sensitive surface that is separate from the display shown in FIG. 4B. In some embodiments, the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., 451 in FIG. 4B) has a primary axis (e.g., 452 in FIG. 4B) that corresponds to a primary axis (e.g., 453 in 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 in 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, user input (e.g., contacts 460 and 462 and their movements) 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 when the touch-sensitive surface is separate from the display. It is to be understood that similar methods are optionally used for the other user interfaces described herein.
[0159] In addition, although the following examples are given primarily with reference to finger input (e.g., finger contact, finger tap gesture, finger swipe gesture), it should be understood that in some embodiments, one or more of the finger inputs are replaced with input from another input device (e.g., mouse-based input or stylus input). For example, a swipe gesture is optionally replaced by a mouse click (e.g., instead of a contact) followed by movement of a cursor along the path of the swipe (e.g., instead of a contact movement). 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 stopping detection of the contact). Similarly, it should be understood that when multiple user inputs are detected simultaneously, multiple computer mice are optionally used simultaneously, or a mouse and finger contacts are optionally used simultaneously.
[0160] FIG. 5A illustrates an exemplary personal electronic device 500. Device 500 includes a body 502. In some embodiments, device 500 can include some or all of the features described with respect to devices 100 and 300 (e.g., FIGS. 1A-4B). In some embodiments, device 500 has a touch-sensitive display screen 504, hereafter touch screen 504. Alternatively or in addition to touch screen 504, device 500 has a display and a touch-sensitive surface. Similar to devices 100 and 300, in some embodiments, touch screen 504 (or touch-sensitive surface) optionally includes one or more intensity sensors that detect the intensity of a contact (e.g., a touch) being applied. The one or more intensity sensors of touch screen 504 (or touch-sensitive surface) can provide output data representative of the intensity of the touch. A user interface of device 500 can respond to a touch based on the intensity of the touch, meaning that touches of different intensities can invoke different user interface actions on device 500.
[0161] Exemplary techniques for detecting and processing touch intensity can be found, for example, in related applications, International Patent Application No. PCT / US2013 / 040061, filed May 8, 2013, published as International Patent Application No. WO / 2013 / 169849, entitled "Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Displaying User Interface Objects Corresponding to an Application," and International Patent Application No. PCT / US2013 / 069483, filed November 11, 2013, published as International Patent Application No. WO / 2014 / 105276, entitled "Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Transitioning Between Touch Input to Display Output Relationships," each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0162] In some embodiments, device 500 has one or more input mechanisms 506 and 508. Input mechanisms 506 and 508, if included, can be physical mechanisms. Examples of physical input mechanisms include push buttons and rotatable mechanisms. In some embodiments, device 500 has one or more attachment mechanisms. Such attachment mechanisms, if included, can allow device 500 to be attached to, for example, hats, eyewear, earrings, necklaces, shirts, jackets, bracelets, watch bands, chains, pants, belts, shoes, wallets, backpacks, etc. These attachment mechanisms allow a user to wear device 500.
[0163] FIG. 5B illustrates an exemplary personal electronic device 500. In some embodiments, the device 500 can include some or all of the components described with respect to FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 3. The device 500 has a bus 512 that operably couples an I / O section 514 to one or more computer processors 516 and a memory 518. The I / O section 514 can be connected to a display 504, which can have a touch-sensing component 522 and, optionally, an intensity sensor 524 (e.g., a contact intensity sensor). In addition, the I / O section 514 can be connected to a communication unit 530 that receives application and operating system data using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, near field communication (NFC), cellular, and / or other wireless communication techniques. The device 500 can include input mechanisms 506 and / or 508. The input mechanism 506 is optionally, for example, a rotatable input device or a depressible and rotatable input device. In some examples, the input mechanism 508 is optionally a button.
[0164] In some examples, the input mechanism 508 is optionally a microphone. The personal electronic device 500 optionally includes various sensors, such as a GPS sensor 532, an accelerometer 534, an orientation sensor 540 (e.g., a compass), a gyroscope 536, a motion sensor 538, and / or combinations thereof, all of which may be operatively connected to the I / O section 514.
[0165] The memory 518 of the personal electronic device 500 can include one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media for storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more computer processors 516, can cause the computer processors to perform techniques described below, including processes 700, 900, 1100, 1300, and 1500 (FIGS. 7, 9, 11, 13, and 15). A computer-readable storage medium can be any medium that can tangibly contain or store computer-executable instructions for use by or in connection with an instruction execution system, apparatus, or device. In some examples, the storage medium is a transient computer-readable storage medium. In some examples, the storage medium is a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium can include, but is not limited to, magnetic, optical, and / or semiconductor storage devices. Examples of such storage devices include magnetic disks, optical disks based on CD, DVD, or Blu-ray technology, and resident solid-state memory such as flash, solid-state drives, etc. Personal electronic device 500 is not limited to the components and configuration of FIG. 5B and may include other or additional components in multiple configurations.
[0166] As used herein, the term "affordance" refers to a user-interactive graphical user interface object optionally displayed on a display screen of device 100, 300, and / or 500 (FIGS. 1A, 3, and 5A-5B). For example, images (e.g., icons), buttons, and text (e.g., hyperlinks) each optionally constitute an affordance.
[0167] The term "focus selector" as used herein refers to an input element that indicates the current portion of the user interface with which the user is interacting. In some implementations involving a cursor or other location marker, the cursor acts as the "focus selector," such that when an 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 positioned over a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider, or other user interface element), the particular user interface element is adjusted according to the detected input. In some implementations involving a touchscreen display (e.g., touch-sensitive display system 112 of FIG. 1A or touchscreen 112 of FIG. 4A) that enables direct interaction with user interface elements on the touchscreen display, a detected contact on the touchscreen acts as the "focus selector," such that when an 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 a touchscreen display (e.g., by using a tab key or arrow keys to move focus from one button to another), and in these implementations the focus selector moves to follow the movement of focus between various 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) that is controlled by the user to communicate the user's intended interaction with the user interface (e.g., by indicating to the device which element of the user interface the user intends to interact with).For example, positioning of a focus selector (e.g., a cursor, touch, or selection box) over a corresponding button while a press input is detected on a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touchpad or touchscreen) indicates that the user intends to activate that corresponding button (and not another user interface element shown on the device's display).
[0168] As used herein and in the claims, the term "characteristic intensity" of a contact refers to a characteristic of that contact based on one or more intensities of the contact. In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is based on a plurality of intensity samples. The characteristic intensity is optionally based on a predefined number of intensity samples, i.e., a set of intensity samples collected during a predefined time period (e.g., 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10 seconds) associated with a predefined event (e.g., after detecting a contact, before detecting lift-off of the contact, before or after detecting the start of movement of the contact, before detecting the end of the contact, before or after detecting an increase in the intensity of the contact, and / or before or after detecting a decrease in the intensity of the contact). The characteristic intensity of a contact is optionally based on one or more of a maximum intensity of the contact, a mean value of the intensity of the contact, an average value of the intensity of the contact, a top 10 percentile value of the intensity of the contact, a half maximum intensity value of the contact, a 90 percent maximum intensity value of the contact, etc. In some embodiments, the duration of the contact is used in determining the characteristic intensity (e.g., when the characteristic intensity is an average of the intensity of the contact over time). In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is compared to a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an operation is performed by the user. For example, the set of one or more intensity thresholds optionally includes a first intensity threshold and a second intensity threshold. In this example, a contact having a characteristic intensity that does not exceed the first threshold results in a first action, a contact having a characteristic intensity that exceeds the first intensity threshold but not the second intensity threshold results in a second action, and a contact having a characteristic intensity that exceeds the second threshold results in a third action. In some embodiments, the comparison between the characteristic intensity and the one or more thresholds is not used to determine whether the first action or the second action should be performed, but rather is used to determine whether one or more actions should be performed (e.g., whether to perform the respective action or to forgo performing the respective action).
[0169] FIG. 5C illustrates detecting multiple contacts 552A-552E on the touch-sensitive display screen 504 by multiple intensity sensors 524A-524D. FIG. 5C additionally includes an intensity diagram showing the current intensity measurements of the intensity sensors 524A-524D versus intensity units. In this example, the intensity measurements of the intensity sensors 524A and 524D are each 9 intensity units, and the intensity measurements of the intensity sensors 524B and 524C are each 7 intensity units. In some implementations, the aggregate intensity is the sum of the intensity measurements of the multiple intensity sensors 524A-524D, which in this example is 32 intensity units. In some embodiments, each contact is assigned a respective intensity that is a portion of the aggregate intensity. FIG. 5D illustrates assigning aggregate intensities to the contacts 552A-552E based on their distance from the center of force 554. In this example, each of contacts 552A, 552B, and 552E is assigned a contact intensity of 8 intensity units of the aggregate intensity, and each of contacts 552C and 552D is assigned a contact intensity of 4 intensity units of the aggregate intensity. More generally, in some implementations, each contact j is assigned a respective intensity Ij that is a portion of the total intensity A according to a predefined mathematical function Ij=A·(Dj / ΣDi), where Dj is the distance from the center of force to the respective contact j, and ΣDi is the sum of the distances from the center of force to all respective contacts (e.g., from i=1 to the end). The operations described with reference to FIGS. 5C-5D can be performed using electronic devices similar or identical to device 100, 300, or 500. In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity of the contact is based on one or more intensities of the contact. In some embodiments, an intensity sensor is used to determine a single characteristic intensity (e.g., a single characteristic intensity of a single contact). Note that the intensity diagrams are not part of the displayed user interface, but are included in FIGS. 5C-5D as an aid to the reader.
[0170] In some embodiments, a portion of the gesture is identified for purposes of identifying the characteristic intensity. For example, the touch-sensitive surface optionally receives successive swipe contacts that transition from a start location to an end location, at which point the intensity of the contacts increases. In this example, the characteristic intensity of the contacts at the end location is optionally based on only a portion of the successive swipe contacts (e.g., only the portion of the swipe contact at the end location) rather than the entire swipe contact. In some embodiments, a smoothing algorithm is optionally applied to the intensity of the swipe contacts before determining the characteristic intensity of the contacts. For example, the smoothing algorithm optionally includes one or more of an unweighted moving average smoothing algorithm, a triangular smoothing algorithm, a median filter smoothing algorithm, and / or an exponential smoothing algorithm. In some circumstances, these smoothing algorithms eliminate small increases or decreases in the intensity of the swipe contacts for purposes of identifying the characteristic intensity.
[0171] The intensity of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface is optionally characterized against one or more intensity thresholds, such as a contact-detection intensity threshold, a light press intensity threshold, a deep press intensity threshold, and / or one or more other intensity thresholds. In some embodiments, the light press intensity threshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device performs an action normally associated with clicking a physical mouse button or trackpad. In some embodiments, the deep press intensity threshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device performs an action different from an action normally associated with clicking a physical mouse button or trackpad. In some embodiments, when a contact is detected having a characteristic intensity below the light press intensity threshold (e.g., above a nominal contact-detection intensity threshold below which the contact is not detected), the device moves the focus selector according to the movement of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface without performing an action associated with the light press intensity threshold or the deep press intensity threshold. In general, unless otherwise specified, these intensity thresholds are consistent among the various sets of user interface diagrams.
[0172] An increase in the characteristic intensity of a contact from an intensity below the light press intensity threshold to an intensity between the light press intensity threshold and the deep press intensity threshold may be referred to as inputting a "light press." An increase in the characteristic intensity of a contact from an intensity below the deep press intensity threshold to an intensity above the deep press intensity threshold may be referred to as inputting a "deep press." An increase in the characteristic intensity of a contact from an intensity below the contact detection intensity threshold to an intensity between the contact detection intensity threshold and the light press intensity threshold may be referred to as detecting a contact on the touch surface. A decrease in the characteristic intensity of a contact from an intensity above the contact detection intensity threshold to an intensity below the contact detection intensity threshold may be referred to as detecting a lift-off of the contact from the touch surface. In some embodiments, the contact detection intensity threshold is zero. In some embodiments, the contact detection intensity threshold is greater than zero.
[0173] In some embodiments described herein, one or more actions are performed in response to detecting a gesture including a respective press input or in response to detecting a respective press input performed by a respective contact (or contacts), where the respective press input is detected based at least in part on detecting an increase in intensity of the contact (or contacts) above a press input intensity threshold. In some embodiments, the respective actions are performed in response to detecting an increase in intensity of the respective contact above a press input intensity threshold (e.g., a "downstroke" of the respective press input). In some embodiments, the press input includes an increase in intensity of the respective contact above a press input intensity threshold followed by a decrease in intensity of the respective contact below the press input intensity threshold, where the respective actions are performed in response to detecting a subsequent decrease in intensity of the respective contact below the press input threshold (e.g., an "upstroke" of the respective press input).
[0174] 5E-5H show the intensity threshold of the light press in FIG. 5E (e.g., “IT L ") to the intensity threshold of the deep press in Figure 5H (e.g., "IT D5 illustrates detection of a gesture including a press input corresponding to an increase in the intensity of contact 562 to an intensity above a deep press intensity threshold (e.g., "IT 2"). The gesture performed by contact 562 is detected on touch-sensitive surface 560 and cursor 576 is displayed over application icon 572B corresponding to app2 on display user interface 570, which includes application icons 572A-572D displayed in predefined region 574. In some embodiments, the gesture is detected on touch-sensitive display 504. An intensity sensor detects the intensity of the contact on touch-sensitive surface 560. The device detects when the intensity of contact 562 exceeds a deep press intensity threshold (e.g., "IT D Contact 562 is maintained on touch-sensitive surface 560. In response to detecting the gesture, a deep press intensity threshold (e.g., “IT D "), reduced-scale representations 578A-578C (e.g., thumbnails) of recently opened documents are displayed for app2, as shown in Figures 5F-5H. In some embodiments, this intensity, which is compared to one or more intensity thresholds, is a characteristic intensity of the contact. Note that the intensity diagrams for contact 562 are not part of the displayed user interface, but are included in Figures 5E-5H as an aid to the reader.
[0175] In some embodiments, the display of representations 578A-578C includes an animation. For example, as shown in FIG. 5F, representation 578A is first displayed adjacent to application icon 572B. As the animation progresses, as shown in FIG. 5G, representation 578A moves upward and representation 578B is displayed adjacent to application icon 572B. Then, as shown in FIG. 5H, representation 578A moves upward and representation 578B moves upward toward representation 578A and representation 578C is displayed adjacent to application icon 572B. Representations 578A-578C form an array above icon 572B. In some embodiments, the animation progresses according to the intensity of contact 562, as shown in FIGS. 5F-5G, as the intensity of contact 562 approaches a deep press intensity threshold (e.g., "ITD Representations 578A-578C appear and move upward as the intensity increases toward "intensity." In some embodiments, the intensity on which the animation progression is based is a characteristic intensity of the contact. The operations described with reference to FIGS. 5E-5H can be performed using an electronic device similar or identical to device 100, 300, or 500.
[0176] In some embodiments, the device employs intensity hysteresis to avoid accidental inputs, sometimes referred to as "jitter," and the device defines or selects a hysteresis intensity threshold that has a predefined relationship to the press input intensity threshold (e.g., the hysteresis intensity threshold is X intensity units below the press input intensity threshold, or the hysteresis intensity threshold is 75%, 90%, or some reasonable percentage of the press input intensity threshold). Thus, in some embodiments, the press input includes an increase in the intensity of the respective contact above the press input intensity threshold, followed by a decrease in the intensity of the contact below a hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to the press input intensity threshold, and a respective action is performed in response to detecting a subsequent decrease in the intensity of the respective contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold (e.g., an "upstroke" of a respective press input). Similarly, in some embodiments, a press input is detected only when the device detects an increase in the intensity of the contact from an intensity below the hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity above the press input intensity threshold, and optionally a subsequent decrease in the intensity of the contact to an intensity below the hysteresis intensity, and a respective action is performed in response to detecting the press input (e.g., an increase in the intensity of the contact or a decrease in the intensity of the contact, as the case may be).
[0177] For ease of explanation, descriptions of operations performed in response to a press input associated with a press input intensity threshold, or a gesture including a press input, are optionally triggered in response to detecting any of an increase in the intensity of a contact above the press input intensity threshold, an increase in the intensity of a contact from an intensity below a hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity above the press input intensity threshold, a decrease in the intensity of a contact below the press input intensity threshold, and / or a decrease in the intensity of a contact below a hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to the press input intensity threshold. Further, in examples where an operation is described as being performed in response to detecting a decrease in the intensity of a contact below a press input intensity threshold, the operation is optionally performed in response to detecting a decrease in the intensity of a contact below a hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to and lower than the press input intensity threshold.
[0178] As used herein, an "installed application" refers to a software application that has been downloaded onto an electronic device (e.g., devices 100, 300, and / or 500) and is ready to run (e.g., opened) on the device. In some embodiments, a downloaded application becomes an installed application by an installation program that extracts program portions from a downloaded package and integrates the extracted portions with the computer system's operating system.
[0179] As used herein, the terms "open application" or "running application" refer to a software application that has retained state information (e.g., as part of device / global internal state 157 and / or application internal state 192). An open or running application is, optionally, any one of the following types of applications: ● the active application currently displayed on the display screen of the device on which the application is being used; Background applications (or background processes) that are not currently displayed, but for which one or more operations for the application are being processed by one or more processors; and • Suspended or hibernated applications that are not executing but have state information stored in memory (volatile and non-volatile respectively) that can be used to resume execution of the application.
[0180] As used herein, the term "closed application" refers to a software application that does not have retained state information (e.g., state information for a closed application is not stored in the device's memory). Thus, closing an application includes stopping and / or removing the application process for the application and removing state information for the application from the device's memory. Generally, opening a second application during a first application does not close the first application. When the second application is displayed and the first application is taken off the display, the first application becomes a background application.
[0181] Attention is now directed to embodiments of user interfaces (“UI”) and associated processes implemented on an electronic device, such as portable multifunction device 100, device 300, or device 500.
[0182] 6A-6BN illustrate example user interfaces associated with a physical activity application, according to some embodiments. The user interfaces in these figures are used to explain the processes described below, including the process of FIG.
[0183] 6A shows device 600 having a touch-sensitive display 602. A user interface 610A of a training application is displayed on touch-sensitive display 602. Device 600 includes various input mechanisms for receiving user input, such as a rotatable input mechanism 603 capable of receiving a rotatable input (which may also receive a push input), and an input mechanism 604 capable of receiving a push user input. In some embodiments, device 600 includes some or all of the features of device 100, device 300, or device 500.
[0184] User interface 610A includes a scrollable list 620 of affordances associated with each physical activity tracking feature for a physical activity. For example, the scrollable list of affordances includes an affordance 621 that corresponds to a physical activity tracking feature for outdoor running and an affordance 622 that corresponds to a physical activity tracking feature for pool swimming. Note that scrollable list of affordances 620 includes additional affordances that correspond to other physical activity tracking features that are not currently displayed but may be displayed in response to a scroll input (e.g., rotation of rotation mechanism 603).
[0185] In some embodiments, one or more of the affordances in scrollable list of affordances 620 include a respective training index-change affordance, described in further detail below (see at least FIG. 6J ). For example, affordance 621 includes training index-change affordance 631, and affordance 622 includes training index-change affordance 632.
[0186] In some embodiments, one or more affordances in the scrollable list of affordances 620 include a physical activity icon that corresponds to a physical activity associated with the affordance. For example, affordance 621 includes a physical activity icon 621-1 (e.g., a runner icon). Similarly, affordance 622 includes a physical activity icon 622-1 (e.g., a swimmer icon). In various embodiments, the physical activity icon (e.g., physical activity icon 621-1) is displayed in a first state (e.g., a stationary state).
[0187] In some embodiments, one or more affordances in the scrollable list of affordances include a workout identifier. For example, affordance 621 includes workout identifier 621-2, which indicates that affordance 621 is associated with an outdoor running workout. Similarly, affordance 622 includes workout identifier 622-2, which indicates that affordance 622 is associated with a pool swimming workout.
[0188] In some embodiments, one or more affordances in the scrollable list of affordances include training goal information. For example, affordance 622 includes training goal information 622-3 indicating that a pool swim workout associated with affordance 622 has a predefined goal of three miles. That is, when affordance 622 is selected, the associated physical activity tracking functionality automatically tracks the distance of the pool swim workout with a predefined goal of three miles. Affordance 621 includes goal training affordance 621-3 indicating that an outdoor run associated with affordance 621 is an "open goal." The open goal indication indicates to the user that the associated workout does not currently have any predefined goal. Thus, when affordance 621 is selected, various metrics are tracked by the associated physical activity tracking functionality, and these metrics do not include any predefined goal values.
[0189] 6B , a touch input (e.g., a tap input) 615A is received, where the touch input 615A corresponds to a selection of an affordance 621. In accordance with a determination that the user input 615A is detected at a first affordance 621 in the scrollable list of affordances, a physical activity tracking function associated with the affordance 621 is invoked. That is, in accordance with the selection of the affordance 621, execution of the physical activity tracking function is initiated. Furthermore, in some embodiments, selection of another affordance (e.g., affordance 622) in the scrollable list of affordances 620 invokes another associated physical activity tracking function, which will be described in further detail below.
[0190] 6C-6F, in response to a selection of affordance 621, user interface 610B displays a countdown before tracking indicators with the physical activity tracking function. For example, user interface 610B displays a numeric countdown by displaying "READY" (FIG. 6C), then "3" (FIG. 6D), then "2" (FIG. 6E), then "1" (FIG. 6F).
[0191] In response to the completion of the countdown, user interface 610C is displayed (FIGS. 6G-6I). User interface 610 displays tracking metrics 630 (tracked by physical activity tracking functionality) associated with the workout (e.g., outdoor running) corresponding to the selected affordance 621. For example, user interface 610C includes tracking of various metrics (e.g., miles 630-1, active calories 630-2, mileage average 630-3, and time 630-4). As shown in FIGS. 6G-6I, user interface 610C displays tracking metrics 630 for the outdoor running workout at 0.01 seconds into the outdoor run (FIG. 6G), 0.59 seconds into the outdoor run (FIG. 6H), and 1.23 seconds into the outdoor run (FIG. 6I). In some embodiments, in response to the selection of affordance 621, user interface 610C is displayed without (or bypassing) the display of user interface 610B.
[0192] By displaying a scrollable list of training affordances and activating a physical activity tracking function to track metrics associated with the selected training affordance, a user can quickly select a workout and activate the tracking function to track metrics associated with the selected workout. Reducing the number of inputs required to effect tracking of workout metrics enhances usability of the device (e.g., by helping the user provide appropriate inputs and reducing user errors when operating or interacting with the device) and makes the user device interface more efficient, thereby additionally reducing power usage and improving the device's battery life by allowing the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
[0193] In some embodiments, the physical activity icon is animated while the physical activity tracking function associated with the affordance is executing. For example, referring to Figures 6G-6I, the physical activity icon 621-1 is animated (e.g., the runner in the physical activity icon 621-1 moves in a running motion) while the physical activity tracking function is tracking the indicator 630. It should be appreciated that the physical activity icon 621-1 ceases to animate when the physical activity tracking function associated with the affordance stops executing (e.g., stops tracking the indicator 630).
[0194] In some embodiments, tracking of the indicators is performed by one or more tracking sensors of the device. For example, the device 600 tracks physical activity by a tracking sensor (or training sensor) that communicates with the training support module 142 (as shown in FIG. 3).
[0195] 6J, a user interface 610A displays a scrollable list of affordances 620 (similar to FIG. 6A). User input 615B (e.g., a tap gesture) is received at a training index change affordance 631.
[0196] 6K, following a determination that a user input 615B is detected at the training metric change affordance 631, a user interface 610D is displayed, where the user interface 610D is configured to change a training metric associated with a physical activity (e.g., outdoor running) corresponding to the affordance 621. In particular, the user interface 610D includes metric affordances 640 (e.g., open goal affordance 640-1, distance affordance 640-2, calories affordance 640-3, and time affordance 640-4) associated with a training metric corresponding to an outdoor running workout. The user interface 610D includes an affordance 641 configured to display a previous UI 610A (FIG. 6J) when selected. In some embodiments, following a determination that a user input 615B is detected at the training metric change affordance 631, the user interface 610D is displayed and activates a physical activity tracking function associated with the affordance 621.
[0197] By displaying a workout metric change affordance along with a scrollable list of workouts, a user can quickly change the metric target values and activate a tracking function to track the metrics associated with the workout. Reducing the number of inputs required to change the target values and track the workout metrics enhances usability of the device (e.g., by helping the user provide proper inputs and reducing user errors when operating or interacting with the device) and makes the user device interface more efficient, thereby additionally reducing power usage and improving the device's battery life by allowing the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
[0198] Referring to FIG. 6L, user input 615C (eg, a tap gesture) is received at distance affordance 640-2.
[0199] 6M-6R, in response to receiving user input 615C at distance affordance 640-2, a goal user interface 610E is displayed. The goal user interface 610E includes a goal value 642 (e.g., 7.5 miles) that corresponds to the selected distance affordance 640-2 of the outdoor running workout. The initial goal value of 7.50 miles is the current value associated with the distance metric for the outdoor run. That is, when the outdoor running workout is launched (with a distance goal value of 7.50 miles), the tracking of the distance metric is set to 7.50 miles.
[0200] In some embodiments, goal value 642 (e.g., 7.50 miles) can be adjusted by goal-change affordance 643 (e.g., a "-" affordance) and / or goal-change affordance 644 (e.g., a "+" affordance). For example, user input 615D is received at goal-change affordance 644 (FIG. 6N). In response to receiving user input 615D at goal-change affordance 644, the goal value of 7.50 miles is changed to 7.60 miles (FIG. 6O). Similarly, user input 615E is received at goal-change affordance 643 (FIG. 6P). In response to receiving user input 615E at goal-change affordance 643, the goal value of 7.60 miles is changed to 7.50 miles (FIG. 6Q).
[0201] As shown in FIG. 6Q, the goal user interface 610E includes goal information 646. For example, the goal information 646 is information identifying a previous longest distance (associated with an outdoor running workout) tracked by the physical activity tracking feature. Thus, a user may adjust the goal value 642 (by increasing or decreasing the goal value as described above) based at least in part on the goal information 646. The goal user interface 610E also includes an affordance 645 (FIG. 6L) configured to display a previous UI 610D when selected.
[0202] 6R, the goal user interface 610E includes a start affordance 647 configured to activate a physical activity tracking function associated with affordance 621. For example, a user input 615H is received at the start affordance 647. In response to the user input 615H selecting the affordance 647, the physical activity tracking function associated with affordance 621 (e.g., an outdoor run) is activated. Specifically, the physical activity tracking function tracks a distance traveled for the outdoor run based on the goal value of 7.50 miles. In some embodiments, the activation of the physical activity tracking function associated with affordance 621 via the start affordance 647 is similar to the activation of the physical activity tracking function via user input 615A at affordance 621 (e.g., FIGS. 6C-6I).
[0203] 6S-6U illustrate various embodiments of a goal user interface 610E. FIG. 6S illustrates a user interface 610E displayed in response to a user input at an open goal affordance 640-1 (FIG. 6K). The open goal functionality does not include any goal associated with a physical activity (e.g., outdoor running). Thus, the goal user interface 610E (when displayed in response to selection of an open goal affordance 640-1) does not display any goal. In response to receiving a user input 615I at a start affordance 647, a physical activity tracking functionality associated with an affordance 621 (e.g., outdoor running) is launched. The launched physical activity tracking functionality tracks various metrics (e.g., distance, calories, time), but does not track metrics related to a goal. In some embodiments, the launch of a physical activity tracking functionality associated with an affordance 621 via a start affordance 647 is similar to the launch of a physical activity tracking functionality via a user input 615A at an affordance 621 (e.g., FIGS. 6C-6I).
[0204] FIG. 6T illustrates a goal value user interface 610E displayed in response to a user input at time goal affordance 640-4 (FIG. 6K). The goal user interface 610E (when displayed in response to selection of time goal affordance 640-4) includes a goal value 642 (e.g., an elapsed time of one hour), goal change affordances 643 and 644, goal information 646 (e.g., information identifying the longest previous duration tracked by the physical activity tracking feature for an outdoor run), and a start affordance 647. The goal value 642 can be adjusted by selection of goal change affordance 643 and / or goal change affordance 644, as described above (FIGS. 6M-6Q). Additionally, in response to a user input (e.g., a tap gesture) that selects affordance 647, a physical activity tracking feature associated with affordance 621 (e.g., outdoor run) is launched. Specifically, the physical activity tracking feature tracks the duration of the outdoor run based on the one-hour goal value. In some embodiments, initiation of the physical activity tracking functionality associated with affordance 621 via start affordance 647 is similar to initiation of the physical activity tracking functionality via user input 615A at affordance 621 (e.g., Figures 6C-6I).
[0205] FIG. 6U illustrates a user interface 610E displayed in response to a user input at calories affordance 640-3 (FIG. 6K). The goal user interface 610E (when displayed in response to selection of calories affordance 640-3) includes a goal value 642 (e.g., active calories burned), goal change affordances 643 and 644, goal information 646 (e.g., information identifying the maximum calories burned that the physical activity tracking feature tracks from a previous outdoor running workout), and a start affordance 647. The goal value 642 can be adjusted by selection of goal change affordance 643 and / or goal change affordance 644, as described above (FIGS. 6M-6Q). Additionally, in response to a user input (e.g., a tap gesture) that selects affordance 647, a physical activity tracking feature associated with affordance 621 (e.g., outdoor running) is launched. Specifically, the physical activity tracking feature tracks calories burned during outdoor running based on the goal value of 700 calories. In some embodiments, initiation of the physical activity tracking functionality associated with affordance 621 via start affordance 647 is similar to initiation of the physical activity tracking functionality via user input 615A at affordance 621 (e.g., Figures 6C-6I).
[0206] 6V-6AB illustrate one embodiment of a user interface 610A displaying scrolling of a scrollable list of affordances 620 and selection of an affordance. For example, a rotational input 605 is received at a rotatable input mechanism 603 (FIGS. 6V-6W). In response to the rotational input 605, the list of affordances 620 is scrolled upwards such that affordance 622 is fully displayed, affordance 621 is partially displayed, and affordance 623 (associated with stair stepper training) is partially displayed (FIG. 6X).
[0207] A user input 615J is received at affordance 622 (FIG. 6Y). In response to user input 615J at affordance 622 (associated with a pool swim workout), a user interface 610F is displayed (FIG. 6Z). User interface 610F includes a pool length value 648, a value-change affordance 643, and / or a value-change affordance 644. The pool length value 648 may be changed by one or more of the value-change affordances (e.g., from 50 yards to 100 yards, from 50 yards to 25 yards, etc.). In particular, user interface 610F is configured to receive a pool length value related to a pool swim workout (e.g., 50 yards) such that the physical activity tracking functionality can track the number of pool lengths a user swims during a pool swim workout.
[0208] A user input 615K is received at a start affordance 647 (FIG. 6AA). In response to the user input 615K, a physical activity tracking function associated with affordance 622 (e.g., pool swimming) is initiated. For example, in response to a selection of affordance 647, a user interface 610C is displayed (FIG. 6AB). The user interface 610C includes tracking of various metrics 633 (e.g., lap count indicator 633-1, active calories 633-2, total calories 633-3, and elapsed time 633-4). It should be appreciated that a comparison of FIG. 6G (showing tracking metrics 630 associated with outdoor running) with FIG. 6AB (showing tracking metrics 633 associated with pool swimming) illustrates that different metrics can be used to track different physical activities. For example, for a running activity, it is often desirable to track the total length run (miles), and for a pool swim, it is often desirable to track the number of laps completed.
[0209] 6AC-6AD illustrate one embodiment of a user interface 610A. User interface 610A displays affordances 624 and 625 within a scrollable list of affordances 620. In one embodiment, affordance 625 is not associated with a specific physical activity and is labeled "Other, Open Goals." Additionally, in one embodiment, affordance 625 is the last (or tail) affordance within scrollable list of affordances 620. As described in more detail below, affordance 625 facilitates updating scrollable list of affordances 220 with additional specific activity affordances, and a user can select a specific physical activity (e.g., yoga) associated with the additional specific activity affordance.
[0210] User input 615L is received at affordance 625 (FIG. 6AD). In response to user input 615L, user interface 610G is displayed (FIG. 6AE). User interface 610G displays information 638 indicating that the user can select a workout associated with a metric to be tracked by the physical activity tracking feature. User interface 610G includes an affordance 647 configured to activate the physical activity tracking feature.
[0211] User input 615M is received at affordance 647 (FIG. 6AF). In response to user input 615M, user interface 610B is displayed (FIG. 6AG). User interface 610B displays a countdown (e.g., FIGS. 6C-6F) before tracking the metric via the physical activity tracking feature, as described above.
[0212] Once the countdown is complete, user interface 610C is displayed (FIGS. 6AH-6AI). User interface 610C is configured to display a number of metrics 634 (e.g., duration 634-1, active calories 634-2, total calories 634-3, and heart rate 634-4) tracked by the physical activity tracking feature during the physical activity (e.g., yoga). In some embodiments, user interface 610C is displayed in response to user input 615M without display of intermediate user interface 610B. Note that as shown in FIGS. 6AH-6AI, user interface 610C does not include a physical activity icon (e.g., physical activity icon 621-1) because affordance 625 is not associated with physical activity.
[0213] A user input 615N (e.g., a swipe gesture) is received on the touch-sensitive display 602 (FIGS. 6AI-6AK). In response to the user input 615N, a user interface 610H is displayed (FIG. 6AL). The user interface 610H includes affordances for controlling various functions of the training application. For example, the user interface 610H includes a lock screen affordance 650 (configured to lock the screen and not receive user input), a switch workout affordance 651 (described in further detail below), an end workout affordance 652 (configured to end a currently running workout), and a pause workout affordance 653 (configured to pause a currently running workout).
[0214] User interface 610C includes page call dot 639-1 and page call dot 639-2. The page call dots correspond to successive pages (or user interfaces) in the training application. For example, page call dot 639-1 corresponds to user interface 610C, and page call dot 639-2 corresponds to user interface 610H. In response to a user input, such as a swipe gesture (e.g., 610H), the currently displayed page (e.g., user interface 610C of FIG. 6AH) is replaced with a display of the corresponding successive page (e.g., user interface 610H of FIG. 6AL). Note that when user interface 610C is displayed, page call dot 639-1 is highlighted (FIG. 6AH). Similarly, when user interface 610H is displayed, page call dot 639-2 is highlighted (FIG. 6AL).
[0215] User input 615O is received at end workout affordance 652 (FIG. 6AM). For example, when the user's yoga workout is completed, the user selects end workout affordance 652 to stop tracking indicator 634. In response to user input 615O at end workout affordance 652, user interface 610I is displayed (FIG. 6AN).
[0216] The user interface 610I includes a summary of the tracking indicator 634 associated with the affordance 625. For example, the user interface 610I includes physical activity information 635 associated with the indicator 634. Because the tracking indicator 634 was tracked by selection of the affordance 625 (e.g., other, open goal affordance), there is no physical activity (e.g., yoga) currently assigned or associated with the tracking indicator 634 of a completed workout. The user interface 610I also includes duration 634-1, activity calories 634-2, total calories 634-3, average heart rate 634-4, and heart rate range 634-5. In addition, the user interface 610I includes an add activity affordance 636, and a done affordance 637. In some embodiments, the user interface 610I includes date and weather information associated with the physical activity.
[0217] It should be noted that for ease of illustration, the entirety of user interface 610I (including off-screen portions) is shown in FIG. 6AN. However, it should be understood that the entirety of user interface 610I may not be displayable in the limited display size of touch-sensitive display 602. As a result, a user may scroll the user interface via user input (e.g., a rotatable input) received at rotatable input mechanism 603.
[0218] A user input 615P (e.g., a tap gesture) is received at an affordance 636 (FIG. 6AO). Referring to FIG. 6AP, in response to the user input 615P at the affordance 636, a user interface 610J is displayed. The user interface 610J displays a default list 660 of selectable physical activities. The default list 660 of selectable physical activities is configured to be associated with a tracking indicator 634 corresponding to an affordance 625 (e.g., an Other, Open Goal affordance) after being selected. The default list 660 of selectable physical activities includes soccer 660-1, yoga 660-2, strength training 660-3, archery 660-4, basketball 660-5, and curling 660-6. It should be noted that the default list 660 of selectable physical activities may include additional physical activities that are not currently displayed but may be displayed in response to a scroll input (e.g., rotation of the rotation mechanism 603).
[0219] In some embodiments, the default list of selectable physical activities 660 includes a first set of physical activities (e.g., soccer 660-1, yoga 660-2, and strength training 660-3). The first set of physical activities, in some embodiments, is a default list of popular activities and is displayed at the top of the default list of selectable physical activities 660. In addition, the default list of selectable physical activities 660 includes a second set of physical activities (e.g., archery 660-4, basketball 660-5, and curling 660-6) listed in alphabetical order.
[0220] 6AQ and 6AR, user input 615Q is received at yoga activity 660-2. In response to user input 615Q at yoga activity 660-2, completed workout indicator 634 is associated with the yoga workout. Thus, physical activity information 635 (in user interface 660I) indicates that indicator 634 is associated with a yoga workout by selection of affordance 625. Additionally, in response to user input 615Q at yoga activity 660-2, user interface 660I includes an icon 670 corresponding to a yoga workout.
[0221] FIG. 6AT illustrates a counterpart device 690 paired with device 600. In some embodiments, counterpart device 690 may be device 100, device 300, device 500, or a device including one or more features of those devices. The counterpart device 690 includes a touch-sensitive display 691. A user interface 692 is displayed on the touch-sensitive display 691. In some embodiments, counterpart device 690, when paired with device 600, may display application views and perform at least some of the same processing as device 600, as described herein. In response to user input 615R (FIG. 6AS) at affordance 637, summary information of a yoga workout is displayed on user interface 692 of counterpart device 690. For example, user interface 692 includes an icon 670 and an indicator 634 associated with a completed yoga workout.
[0222] 6AU-6AV illustrate one embodiment of a user interface 610A. In response to user input 615R (FIG. 6AS) at affordance 637, affordance 626 is added to the scrollable list of affordances 620. For example, affordance 626 is a new affordance associated with yoga training. Affordance 626 is an open goal affordance associated with yoga training. An open goal affordance is not associated with any predefined goal value. Thus, in some embodiments, the physical activity tracking functionality tracks various metrics associated with the open goal affordance and tracks the metrics without considering any predefined goal value. Affordance 626 is listed at the top or beginning of the scrollable list of affordances 620. In one embodiment, affordance 626 is listed at the bottom or end of the scrollable list of affordances 620. In various embodiments, affordance 625 remains listed in the scrollable list of affordances when a new affordance (e.g., affordance 626) is added, and the new affordance is created based in part on the selection of affordance 625, as described herein.
[0223] A user input 615S is received at affordance 626 (FIG. 6AV). In response to the user input 615S, user interface 610B displays a countdown (e.g., FIGS. 6C-6F) before tracking metrics with the physical activity tracking feature, as described above. Once the countdown displayed in user interface 610B is complete, the physical activity tracking feature is activated to track metrics 634 (e.g., duration 634-1, active calories 634-2, total calories 634-3, and heart rate 634-4) associated with the yoga workout that are tracked by the physical activity tracking feature during the physical activity (FIG. 6AX).
[0224] 6AY-BB, a user input 615T (e.g., a swipe gesture) is received on the touch-sensitive display 602. In accordance with the user input 615T, a user interface 610H is displayed (FIG. 6BB). The user interface 610H includes affordances that control various functions of the training application. For example, the user interface 610H includes a screen lock affordance 650, a training switch affordance 651, a training end affordance 652, and a training pause affordance 653.
[0225] User input 615U is received at switch workouts affordance 651 (FIG. 6BC). For example, while the physical activity tracking functionality is tracking indicator 634 during the user's yoga workout, the user selects switch workouts affordance 651 to switch to a different workout. In response to user input 615U at switch workouts affordance 651, user interface 610A is displayed displaying a scrollable list of affordances 620 (e.g., affordance 621 and affordance 622) (FIG. 6BD). Additionally, in response to user input 615U at switch workouts affordance 651, the physical activity tracking functionality tracking indicator 634 is paused.
[0226] 6BD illustrates a user interface 610A that includes a paused physical activity affordance 655. In one embodiment, a user input at the affordance 655 is configured to continue a paused workout (e.g., a paused yoga workout). For example, in response to a user input at the affordance 655, a paused physical activity tracking feature associated with a yoga workout resumes tracking indicators 634 (e.g., FIG. 6AY).
[0227] 6BE-6BG, a user input 615V is received at affordance 621 (FIG. 6BE). In response to the user input 615V at affordance 621, a physical activity tracking function is activated to track metrics 630 (e.g., miles 630-1, activity calories 630-2, mile average 630-3, and time 630-4) of a corresponding physical activity (e.g., outdoor running). Additionally, in response to the user input 615V at affordance 621 (FIG. 6BE), a paused workout (e.g., a paused yoga workout) is canceled. Specifically, a physical activity tracking function associated with tracking metrics 634 is canceled.
[0228] 6BH, user interface 610H is displayed. For example, user interface 610H is displayed in response to a swipe gesture on touch-sensitive display 602 of FIG.
[0229] A user input 615W is received at an end workout affordance 652 (FIG. 6BH). In response to the user input 615W at the end workout affordance 652, tracking of the metrics 630 is terminated and a user interface 610J is displayed (FIG. 6BI). The user interface 610J is configured to display a summary of aggregated metrics of at least two previously completed workouts. For example, the user interface 610J includes aggregated metrics 680 (e.g., total time 680-1, active calories 680-2, total calories 680-3, average heart rate 680-4, and heart rate range 680-5) that include an aggregation of the metrics 630 associated with the outdoor running workout and the metrics 634 associated with the yoga workout. In one embodiment, the user switches from the yoga workout to the outdoor running workout by selecting a switch affordance 651 (FIG. 6BC).
[0230] User interface 610J includes workout affordance 681 associated with a yoga workout and affordance 682 associated with an outdoor running workout. User input 615W is received at affordance 682 corresponding to an outdoor running workout. In response to user input 615W at affordance 682, user interface 610K is displayed (FIG. 6BK). User interface 610K includes metrics 630 associated with outdoor running (e.g., total time, average pace, active calories, total calories, average heart rate, and heart rate range). Similarly, in some embodiments, in response to user input at affordance 681, metrics 634 associated with a yoga workout are displayed (e.g., similar to metrics 634 displayed in FIG. 6AS).
[0231] 6BL-6BM, device 600 is in proximity to a pairable training device 695 (e.g., an external heart rate monitor, a running machine, a stair stepper). Device 600 and device 695 can be communicatively paired. For example, device 600 and device 695 can be paired by wireless communication (e.g., near field communication (NFC), Bluetooth). It should be understood that device 690 can also be paired with training device 695.
[0232] Device 600 detects a pairable training device 695 when device 600 is in proximity to device 695. Upon detection of the pairable training device 695 and following a determination that training device automatic pairing criteria are met, device 600 is automatically paired (e.g., without additional user input) with pairable training device 695 (FIG. 6BM). For example, device 695 is automatically paired with device 695 (e.g., an external heart rate monitor). Thus, device 600 displays information 696 indicating that device 600 and device 695 have been automatically paired with each other.
[0233] In one embodiment, the training device automatic pairing criteria are met when a workout (e.g., an outdoor running workout) is completed on the device 600. In another embodiment, the training device automatic pairing criteria are met when the device 600 has been paired with a pairable device 695 within a predetermined time (e.g., within the last 90 days). In a further embodiment, the training device automatic pairing criteria are met when the user affirmatively enables the setting for automatic pairing with a pairable training device.
[0234] In some embodiments, upon detection of a pairable training device 695 and following a determination that the training device automatic pairing criteria are not met, the device 600 is not automatically paired with the pairable training device. In one embodiment, the training device automatic pairing criteria are not met if a workout (e.g., an outdoor running workout) was not previously completed on the device 600. In another embodiment, the training device automatic pairing criteria are not met if the device 600 has not been paired with a pairable device 695 within a predetermined time (e.g., within the last 90 days). In a further embodiment, the training device automatic pairing criteria are not met if the user has not affirmatively enabled a setting for automatic pairing with a pairable training device. In another embodiment, the training device automatic pairing criteria are not met if the user selects a training affordance (e.g., affordance 621) and the user is prompted to provide a user input to connect with a pairable training device 695 (e.g., a heart monitor). 6BN, a pairing acceptance affordance 696-1 (e.g., yes) and a pairing rejection affordance 696-2 (e.g., not now) are displayed. Devices 600 and 695 are paired according to a user selection of pairing acceptance affordance 696-1. Alternatively, devices 600 and 695 are not paired according to a user selection of pairing rejection affordance 696-2.
[0235] 7 is a flow diagram illustrating a method for displaying a scrollable list of affordances associated with physical activity using an electronic device, according to some embodiments. Method 700 is performed on a device (e.g., 100, 300, 500, 600) having one or more processors, memories, and physical activity tracking sensors. Some operations of method 700 are optionally combined, the order of some operations is optionally changed, and some operations are optionally omitted.
[0236] As described below, method 700 provides, among other things, an intuitive way to activate a physical activity tracking function pursuant to a determination that a user input is detected at a first affordance in a scrollable list of affordances. The method creates a more efficient human-machine interface by reducing the cognitive burden on the user by selecting a workout from a list of workouts and activating the physical activity tracking function. For battery-operated computing devices, power is conserved and the time between battery charges is increased by allowing the user to select a workout from a list of workouts and activate the physical activity tracking function more quickly and efficiently.
[0237] At block 710, the device (e.g., 600) displays a scrollable list (e.g., 620) of affordances associated with the physical activity.
[0238] At block 720, the device displays a first training index change affordance (e.g., 631) that corresponds to a first affordance (e.g., 621) in the scrollable list of affordances (e.g., 620).
[0239] At block 730, a device (eg, 600) receives a user input (eg, 615A).
[0240] At block 740, in accordance with a determination that a user input (e.g., 615A) is detected at a first affordance (e.g., 221) in the scrollable list of affordances (e.g., 220), a physical activity tracking function associated with the selected first affordance is activated (e.g., the physical activity tracking function tracks the indicator 630).
[0241] At block 750, a user interface (e.g., 610D) configured to change the training indicator is displayed in accordance with a determination that a user input (e.g., 615B) is detected at the first training indicator change affordance (e.g., 631).
[0242] In some embodiments, a user input (e.g., 615L) is received at a second affordance (e.g., 625) in the scrollable list of affordances. In response to the user input at the second affordance, the device (e.g., 600) activates a physical activity tracking function associated with the selected second affordance. After completion of the tracking function, the device displays a default list of selectable physical activities (e.g., 660). A user input (e.g., 615Q) is received at a selectable physical activity (e.g., 660-2) in the default list of selectable physical activities. After selection of a physical activity in the default list of selectable physical activities, the device updates the scrollable list of affordances (e.g., 220) with an additional affordance (e.g., 626) associated with the selected physical activity.
[0243] According to some embodiments, following a determination that a user input (e.g., 615B) is detected at the first training indicator change affordance (e.g., 631), the device refrains from initiating a physical activity tracking function associated with the first affordance (e.g., 621).
[0244] In some embodiments, a user input (e.g., 615C) is received corresponding to a selection of an index affordance (e.g., 640-2) among the plurality of index affordances (e.g., 640). In response to receiving the user input corresponding to the selection of the index affordance, the device (e.g., 600) displays a first target value (e.g., 642) corresponding to the selected index affordance.
[0245] In some embodiments, in response to receiving user input corresponding to a selection of an indicator affordance (e.g., 615C), the device (e.g., 600) displays at least one goal-change affordance (e.g., 643 or 644). User input corresponding to a selection of the at least one goal-change affordance is received (e.g., 615D). In response to receiving user input corresponding to the at least one goal-change affordance, the first goal value (e.g., a goal value of 7.50 miles) is replaced with a second goal value (e.g., a goal value of 7.60 miles).
[0246] In some embodiments, further, in response to receiving user input (e.g., 615C) corresponding to a selection of the indicator affordance (e.g., 640-2), the device (e.g., 600) displays a physical activity tracking function initiation affordance (e.g., 647) corresponding to activation of a physical activity tracking function associated with the selected first affordance. User input (e.g., 615H) corresponding to a selection of the physical activity tracking function initiation affordance is received. In response to receiving user input corresponding to a selection of the physical activity tracking function initiation affordance, a physical activity tracking function associated with the selected first affordance is initiated (e.g., the device 600 tracks the indicator 630 associated with an outdoor running workout).
[0247] In some embodiments, initiating a physical activity tracking function associated with the selected first affordance (e.g., 621) includes tracking a first set of indicators (e.g., 630) associated with a first type of physical activity (e.g., outdoor running). Pursuant to a determination that user input is detected at a second affordance (e.g., 622) in the scrollable list of affordances (e.g., 620), a physical activity tracking function associated with the selected second affordance is initiated including tracking a second set of indicators (e.g., 633) associated with a second type of physical activity (e.g., pool swimming). The second set of indicators (e.g., 633) is different from the first set of indicators (e.g., 630).
[0248] In some embodiments, an affordance (e.g., 621) in the scrollable list of affordances includes a physical activity icon (e.g., 621-1) that corresponds to the physical activity (e.g., outdoor running) associated with the affordance. In some embodiments, the physical activity icon (e.g., 621-1) is displayed in an animated state while a physical activity tracking function associated with the affordance is being performed.
[0249] In some embodiments, while a physical activity tracking feature associated with an affordance (e.g., 626) is being executed, a user input (e.g., 615T) corresponding to a request to display a user interface configured to switch workouts (e.g., 610H) is received. In response to receiving the user input corresponding to the request to display a user interface configured to switch workouts, the physical activity tracking feature is paused and a switch workouts affordance (e.g., 651) is displayed. A user input (e.g., 615U) corresponding to a selection of the switch workouts affordance is received. In response to receiving the user input corresponding to a selection of the switch workouts affordance, a scrollable list of affordances (e.g., 620) is displayed and a paused physical activity affordance (e.g., 655) associated with the paused physical activity tracking feature is displayed.
[0250] In some embodiments, after pausing the physical activity tracking functionality, a user input (e.g., 615V) corresponding to a selection of an affordance (e.g., 621) in the scrollable list of affordances (e.g., 620) is received. In response to receiving the user input corresponding to a selection of an affordance in the scrollable list of affordances, the paused physical activity tracking functionality is canceled (e.g., stopping tracking of indicators 634 for a yoga workout) and a different physical activity tracking functionality associated with the selected affordance is activated (e.g., starting tracking indicators 630 for an outdoor run).
[0251] In some embodiments, user input corresponding to a selection of a pause physical activity affordance (e.g., 655) is received. In response to receiving user input corresponding to a selection of the pause physical activity affordance, the paused physical activity tracking functionality is resumed (e.g., tracking of indicators 634 is resumed).
[0252] In some embodiments, after completion of the first training tracking function and the second training tracking function, a scrollable training summary (e.g., a summary of aggregated indicators 680) of the first physical activity associated with the first training tracking function and the second physical activity associated with the second training tracking function is displayed. The scrollable training summary includes a set of aggregated indicators (e.g., 680) of the first training tracking function and the second training tracking function, a first affordance (e.g., 681) associated with the first physical activity, and a second affordance (e.g., 682) associated with the second physical activity. A user input is received (e.g., 615W). In accordance with a determination that the user input (e.g., 615W) corresponds to a selection of the first affordance (e.g., 681) associated with the first physical activity, a set of indicators (e.g., 630 of FIG. 6BK) associated with the first physical activity is displayed. In accordance with a determination that the user input (e.g., 615W) corresponds to a selection of a second affordance (e.g., 682) associated with a second physical activity, a set of indicators (e.g., 634) associated with the second physical activity is displayed.
[0253] In some embodiments, a pairable training device (e.g., 695) is detected. In response to detecting the pairable training device, and in accordance with a determination that the training device automatic pairing criteria are met (e.g., training is completed on the device 600, the device 600 is paired with the pairable training device 695 within a predetermined time, or the user affirmatively enables the settings for automatic pairing with the pairable training device), the device (e.g., 600) is automatically paired with the pairable training device. In response to detecting the pairable training device (e.g., 695) and in accordance with a determination that the training device automatic pairing criteria are not met (e.g., training was not previously completed on the device 600, the device 600 was not paired with the pairable training device 695 within a predetermined time, the user does not affirmatively enable the settings for automatic pairing, or the user is prompted to provide user input to connect with the pairable training device), the device forgoes automatic pairing with the pairable training device (FIG. 6BN).
[0254] In some embodiments, a user interface (e.g., 610D) configured to change a training metric includes a plurality of metric affordances (e.g., 640-1, 640-2, 640-3, and 640-4) corresponding to a physical activity associated with a first affordance (e.g., 621). In some embodiments, the physical activity tracking functionality tracks an indicator (e.g., 630) corresponding to data received from a physical activity tracking sensor (e.g., a sensor of the training support module 142). In some embodiments, the first affordance (e.g., 621) in the scrollable list of affordances (e.g., 620) is the last affordance selected.
[0255] It should be noted that details of the processes (e.g., FIG. 7) described above with respect to method 700 are applicable in an analogous manner to the methods described below. For example, method 900 optionally includes one or more of the features of the various methods described above with reference to method 700. For example, method 900 may, in some embodiments, include activating a physical activity tracking function or displaying a user interface configured to modify a training metric. For the sake of brevity, these details will not be repeated below.
[0256] 8A-8T illustrate example user interfaces associated with a physical activity application and an audio application, according to some embodiments. The user interfaces in these figures are used to explain processes described below, including the process of FIG.
[0257] 8A shows device 800 having a touch-sensitive display 802. Device 800 includes various input mechanisms for receiving user input, such as a rotatable input mechanism 803 capable of receiving a rotatable input (which may also receive a push input), and an input mechanism 804 capable of receiving a push user input. In some embodiments, device 800 includes some or all of the features of device 100, device 300, device 500, or device 600.
[0258] 8A, user interface 810A displayed on touch-sensitive display 802 is an audio application control user interface configured to control audio content playing on an audio application. User interface 810A includes audio content information 811 and audio content controls 812. For example, audio content information 811 includes, but is not limited to, the title of the currently playing audio content (e.g., "Across the Land") and the name of the group performing the song (e.g., "Awe Singers"). Audio content controls 812 include, but are not limited to, jump to next song, pause / play, jump to previous song, and volume control.
[0259] A user input 815A (e.g., a push input by finger 816) is received at rotatable input mechanism 803 (FIG. 8B). In response to user input 815A and while audio content is being played on an audio application, a user interface 810B is displayed (FIG. 8C). User interface 810B includes multiple application affordances 805 associated with the applications. For example, affordance 805-1 is associated with a training application, and affordance 805-2 is associated with an audio application that is currently playing audio content.
[0260] A user input 815B (e.g., a tap gesture) is received at affordance 805-1 (FIG. 8D). In response to the user input 815B at affordance 805-1 and while audio content is playing on the audio application, a user interface 810C is displayed (FIG. 8E). The user interface 810C includes a scrollable list 820 of affordances associated with respective physical activity tracking features for physical activities. For example, the scrollable list of affordances includes an affordance 821 corresponding to a physical activity tracking feature for outdoor running and an affordance 822 corresponding to a physical activity tracking feature for pool swimming. Note that the list of affordances 820 includes additional affordances corresponding to other physical activity tracking features that are not currently displayed but may be displayed in response to a scroll input (e.g., rotation of the rotation mechanism 803).
[0261] In some embodiments, one or more of the affordances in the scrollable list of affordances 820 include a respective training indicator change affordance. For example, affordance 821 includes training indicator change affordance 831, and affordance 822 includes training indicator change affordance 832. In one embodiment, user interface 810C is the same as user interface 610A (FIG. 6A). Thus, user interface 810C includes the same features and functionality as user interface 610A described above.
[0262] In some embodiments, while audio content is currently playing on the device 800, the device 800 receives an enablement setting for a training audio playlist setting from an external device (e.g., counterpart device 890), which is described in more detail below (FIGS. 8N-8T). If the training audio playlist setting is enabled, a training playlist is automatically played in response to a selection of a training affordance. In one embodiment, the training audio playlist is a list of audio content (e.g., a list of songs) selected by the user to be played during a workout.
[0263] User input 815C is received at affordance 821 (FIG. 8F). In response to user input 815C, user interface 810D is displayed (FIG. 8G). User interface 810D (similar to user interface 610B) displays a countdown before tracking the metric via a physical activity tracking feature associated with affordance 821. In one embodiment, user interface 810D is the same as user interface 610B (FIGS. 6C-6F). Thus, user interface 810D includes the same features and functionality as user interface 610B described above.
[0264] In response to completion of the countdown, user interface 810E is displayed (FIG. 8H). User interface 810E is configured to display a number of metrics 830 (e.g., miles 830-1, active calories 830-2, mileage average 830-3, and time 830-4) tracked by the physical activity tracking feature during the physical activity (e.g., outdoor run). In one embodiment, user interface 810E is the same as user interface 610C (FIGS. 6G-6I). Thus, user interface 810E includes the same features and functionality as user interface 610C described above. In one embodiment, user interface 810E is displayed in response to user input 815C without the display of intermediate user interface 810D.
[0265] Additionally, in response to user input 815C (FIG. 8F), the audio application stops playing the currently playing song (e.g., "Across the Land") and begins playing the training audio playlist. For example, the currently playing song (e.g., "Across the Land") is not a song listed in the training playlist. Thus, the currently playing song is canceled and replaced with playing a song in the training playlist.
[0266] 8I-8L, while a physical activity tracking function is running (e.g., tracking metrics associated with an outdoor running workout) and an audio application is playing audio content, a user input 815D (e.g., a swipe gesture) is received on the touch-sensitive display 802. In response to the user input 815D, a user interface 810A is displayed. The user interface 810A displays audio content from a training audio playlist because playback of the training audio playlist has been initiated in response to user input 815C (as described above). In particular, the user interface 810A includes audio content information 811 corresponding to the song "Feel the Burn" performed by "Drill Sergeant" in the training audio playlist. Note that the user interface 810A includes a volume control 813 configured to control the volume of the currently playing song.
[0267] In some embodiments, if the setting is not valid, the currently playing song will continue to play, as seen in FIG. 8M.
[0268] 8I-8K, user interface 810E includes page call dots 839-1, 839-2, and 839-3. The page call dots correspond to successive pages (or user interfaces). For example, page call dot 839-1 corresponds to a training control user interface (e.g., similar to user interface 610H), page call dot 839-2 corresponds to user interface 810E, and page call dot 839-3 corresponds to user interface 810A. In response to a user input, such as a swipe gesture 815D, the currently displayed user interface 810E (FIG. 8I) is replaced with a display of the corresponding successive user interface 810A (FIG. 8K). Note that when user interface 810E is displayed, page call dot 839-2 is highlighted (FIG. 8I). Similarly, when user interface 810A is displayed, page call dot 839-3 is highlighted (FIG. 8L).
[0269] 8N-8T illustrate an embodiment of a counterpart device 890 paired with device 800. In some embodiments, counterpart device 890 may be device 100, device 300, device 500, or a device including one or more features of those devices. The counterpart device 890 includes a touch-sensitive display 891. A user interface 892A is displayed on the touch-sensitive display 891. The counterpart device 890, in some embodiments, when paired with device 800, may display an application view and perform at least some of the same processing as device 800 described herein. In some embodiments, a training audio playlist setting (e.g., enabled or disabled) is received from the counterpart device 890 (as described above).
[0270] 8N, user interface 892A includes multiple affordances 893 associated with respective applications (e.g., a watch application, a camera application, a weather application, a clock application, a phone application, a message application, a mail application, and a browser application). In one embodiment, affordance 893-1 is associated with a watch application (e.g., a watch application for controlling various features and functions of device 800).
[0271] A user input 815F is received at affordance 893-1 (FIG. 8O). In response to the user input 815F at affordance 893-1, a user interface 892B is displayed (FIG. 8P). The user interface 892B includes device information 860 (e.g., information related to the device 800 paired with the device 890), a clock face 861 (e.g., various clock faces that can be displayed on the device 800), and a list of application affordances 862 corresponding to applications installed on the device 800. The list of application affordances 862 corresponds, in some embodiments, at least in part, to a plurality of application affordances 805 (FIG. 8C) displayed on the user interface 810B of the device 800. The list of application affordances 862 includes an affordance 862-1 corresponding to a training application installed on the device 800.
[0272] A user input 815G (e.g., a tap gesture) is received at affordance 862-1 (FIG. 8Q). In response to the user input 815G at affordance 862-1, a user interface 892C is displayed (FIG. 8R). The user interface 892C includes various training application settings associated with a training application installed on the device 800. In one embodiment, the user interface 892C includes a training audio playlist setting 870 (e.g., “training playlist autoplay”). As shown in FIG. 8R, the setting of the training audio playlist setting 870 is enabled. Thus, when the training audio playlist setting 870 is enabled (at the device 890), a training audio playlist is automatically played by the audio application (at the device 800) in response to a selection of an affordance (e.g., affordance 821) in the scrollable list of affordances 820, as described above. In one embodiment, the setting of the training audio playlist setting 870 (e.g., enabled setting) corresponds to a default setting at the device 890. In another embodiment, the settings in the training audio playlist settings 870 (eg, active settings) correspond to settings selected by a user at the device 890 .
[0273] The user interface 892C includes a run auto pause setting 871. For example, when the run auto pause setting 871 is determined to be valid, tracking of indicators associated with the ongoing workout is automatically paused when it is determined that the user has stopped running for a predetermined time (e.g., 3 seconds). Alternatively, when the run auto pause setting 871 is determined to be invalid, tracking of indicators associated with the ongoing workout is continued (not automatically paused) when it is determined that the user has stopped running for a predetermined time (e.g., 3 seconds).
[0274] By allowing the user to simultaneously stop a currently playing song and automatically start playing a training playlist on the device in response to a training selection when the training playlist setting is enabled, the user is provided with more control over the device. By automatically stopping a currently playing song on the device and starting playing a training audio playlist on the device in response to a training selection when the training playlist setting is enabled, without requiring further user input, the usability of the device is enhanced (e.g., by helping the user provide appropriate input and reducing user errors when operating or interacting with the device) and the user device interface is more efficient, thereby additionally reducing power usage and improving the device's battery life by allowing the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
[0275] Referring to FIG. 8S, a user input 815H is received at training audio playlist setting 870. User input 815H is for switching the training audio playlist setting from enabled to disabled (or disabled to enabled). Referring to FIG. 8T, in response to user input 815H, training audio playlist setting 870 is set to disabled. Thus, when training audio playlist setting 870 is disabled (at device 890), a training audio playlist is not automatically played by an audio application (at device 800) in response to selection of an affordance (e.g., affordance 821) in scrollable list of affordances 820, as described above. For example, when training audio playlist setting 870 is disabled (at device 890), a song (e.g., "Across the Land") currently being played by an audio application (at device 800) in response to selection of an affordance (e.g., affordance 821) in scrollable list of affordances 820, as described above, is played without interruption. In one embodiment, the setting of training audio playlist settings 870 (eg, a disabled setting) corresponds to a default setting on device 890 .
[0276] 9 is a flow diagram illustrating a method for automatically playing a training playlist in response to a selection of a training affordance based on a training playlist setting. Method 900 is performed on a device (e.g., 100, 300, 500, 600, and 800) having one or more processors and memories. Some operations of method 900 are optionally combined, the order of some operations is optionally changed, and some operations are optionally omitted.
[0277] As described below, method 900 provides, among other things, an intuitive way to automatically play a workout playlist in response to a selection of a workout affordance based on a workout playlist setting. By automatically playing a workout playlist based on a workout playlist setting, the method creates a more efficient human-machine interface by reducing the cognitive burden on the user. For battery-operated computing devices, power is conserved and the time between battery charges is increased by allowing the user to select a workout from a list of workouts and activate physical activity tracking functionality faster and more efficiently.
[0278] At block 910, while the audio application plays audio content (e.g., "Across the Land"), the device 800 displays a scrollable list (e.g., 820) of affordances associated with physical activity.
[0279] At block 920, while the audio application is playing audio content, user input (e.g., 815C) is received at an affordance (e.g., 821) in the scrollable list of affordances.
[0280] At block 930, in response to receiving user input at the affordance, activate a physical activity tracking function associated with the selected affordance and determine whether the training audio playlist setting is valid (e.g., a valid setting is received from device 890).
[0281] At block 940, pursuant to a determination that the training audio playlist setting is valid, the audio content currently playing on the device (e.g., "Across the Land") is stopped and playback of the training audio playlist (e.g., playing "Feel the Burn") is initiated on the device (e.g., device 800). At block 950, pursuant to a determination that the training audio playlist setting is invalid (e.g., an invalid setting is received from device 890), the audio content currently playing on the device (e.g., "Across the Land") is continued.
[0282] In some embodiments, while a physical activity tracking function is being performed (e.g., tracking of indicator 830) and an audio application is playing audio content (e.g., playing "Across the Land"), a user input (e.g., 815D) corresponding to a request to display an audio application control user interface (e.g., 810A) is received, and in response to the user input (e.g., 815D), the audio application control user interface (e.g., 810A) of the audio application playing the audio content is displayed.
[0283] In some embodiments, a setting (e.g., enabled or disabled) for the training audio playlist setting is received from an external device (e.g., 890) prior to receiving user input (e.g., 815C) at the affordance (e.g., 821).
[0284] It should be noted that details of the processes described above with respect to method 900 (e.g., FIG. 9) are applicable in a similar manner to the methods described below. For example, method 900 optionally includes one or more of the features of the various methods described below with reference to method 1300. For example, the tracking of metrics by the physical activity tracking functionality in method 900 may track heart rate information, as described in method 1300. For the sake of brevity, these details will not be repeated below.
[0285] 10A-10N illustrate example user interfaces associated with a messaging application, according to some embodiments. The user interfaces in these figures are used to explain processes described below, including the process of FIG.
[0286] 10A shows device 1000 having a touch-sensitive display 1002. Device 1000 includes various input mechanisms for receiving user input, such as a rotatable input mechanism 1003 capable of receiving a rotatable input (which may also receive a push input), and an input mechanism 1004 capable of receiving a push user input. In some embodiments, device 1000 includes some or all of the features of device 100, device 300, device 500, device 600, or device 800.
[0287] 10A includes a user interface 1010A. The user interface 1010A includes a message 1020 (e.g., a text message or email) received from an external device. The message 1020 includes workout information. For example, the workout information includes person identifying information 1020-1 (e.g., "John completed his workout!"), workout type 1020-2 (e.g., "Outdoor run"), and workout indicators 1020-3 (e.g., 3.00 miles, active calories 326, and total calories 351).
[0288] In some embodiments, the external device (that sent message 1020) includes some or all of the features of device 1000 (or device 100, device 300, or device 500). In one embodiment, the external device is a device that is a counterpart device of another external device (e.g., counterpart device 690 described above). In one embodiment, message 1020 is created by a training application (or training tracking application) on the external device, which generates the training information included in message 1020. Furthermore, in one embodiment, the training application on the external device includes some or all of the functionality of the training application described herein (e.g., at least the training application as shown in FIG. 6A ).
[0289] User interface 1010A also includes a reply affordance 1022-1 (e.g., configured to allow a user to generate a reply message), a mute affordance 1022-1 (e.g., configured to mute subsequent messages from an external device), and a discard affordance 1022-3 (e.g., configured to discard message 1020 without sending a reply message).
[0290] User input 1015A is received at reply affordance 1022-1 (FIG. 10B). With reference to FIGS. 10C-10D, in response to user input 1015A at reply affordance 1022-1 and in accordance with a determination that message 1020 includes training information, user interface 1010B is displayed. User interface 1010B is configured to enable a user to compose a reply message to message 1020. User interface 1010B includes a list 1030 of predefined responses that correspond to message 1020 that includes training information. The predefined responses 1030, in some embodiments, include predefined response 1030-1 (e.g., "How did you get better?"), predefined response 1030-2 (e.g., "#goals"), predefined response 1030-3 (e.g., "Definitely you're the best"), predefined response 1030-4 (e.g., "What's your secret?"), predefined response 1030-5 (e.g., "Hello!"), predefined response 1030-6 (e.g., "What's up?"), predefined response 1030-7 (e.g., "I'm on my way"), and predefined response 1030-8 (e.g., "Okay").
[0291] In addition, user interface 1010B includes affordance 1031 configured to enable a user to record a voice reply to message 1020, affordance 1032 configured to enable a user to select an emoji for a reply message to message 1020, affordance 1033 configured to enable a user to send a handwritten reply message (or sticker) to message 1020, and affordance 1034 configured to enable a user to send a reply message (including text generated from handwritten input) to message 1020.
[0292] In one embodiment, pursuant to a determination that the message 1020 (e.g., text containing "Hi, Jane") does not contain training information, the message is displayed on the device 1000. However, the predefined response 1030 is not displayed on the device 1000.
[0293] As shown in FIGURE 10D, user input 1015B is received in predefined response 1030-2. In response to user input 1015B in predefined response 1030-2, a reply message (e.g., reply message 1050 in FIGURE 10E) to message 1020 is created. In one embodiment, after receiving user input 1015B in predefined response 1030-2, an intermediate user interface is displayed prompting the user to create a reply message. In response to the user input to create the reply message, the reply message is created.
[0294] 10E-10F show a user interface 1010C (e.g., a text message user interface) displayed on the counterpart device 1065 (e.g., the counterpart device of the device 1000) and the external device 1090. Referring to FIG. 10E, a reply message 1050 is displayed on the counterpart device 1065. In one embodiment, the reply message 1050 is displayed on the device 1000. The reply message 1050 includes a selected default message 1030-2 (e.g., “#Goals” selected on the device 1000, FIG. 10C) and workout information such as person identifying information 1020-1 (e.g., “John”), workout type 1020-2 (e.g., “Outdoor Run”), and workout metric 1020-3 (e.g., 3.00 miles). On the counterpart device 1065, the reply message 1050 is displayed inline with other messages (from the external device 1090). 10F, the reply message 1050 is received at and displayed on the external device 1090. At the external device 1090, the reply message 1050 is displayed inline with other messages (from the other device 1065).
[0295] By generating a reply message that includes a selected predefined response and training information from the received message, a user can quickly create a reply message that automatically includes training information (from the received message) and can generate the reply message with minimal user input. Reducing the number of inputs required to perform an operation enhances device usability (e.g., by assisting the user in providing appropriate inputs and reducing user errors when operating or interacting with the device) and makes the user device interface more efficient, thereby additionally reducing power usage and improving device battery life by allowing the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
[0296] 10G shows a user interface 1010C displayed on device 1000. User interface 1010C includes person identifying information 1020-1 (e.g., "John completed his workout!"), a selected default message 1030-2 (e.g., "#goals"), and a reply message delivery indicator 1051 (e.g., "Delivered"). The reply message delivery indicator 1051 indicates that a reply message 1050 (to message 1020) has been sent to external device 1090.
[0297] FIG. 10H includes a user interface 1010A. The user interface 1010A includes a message 1040 (e.g., a text message or email) received from an external device. The message 1040 includes workout information. For example, the workout information includes person identifying information 1040-1 (e.g., "John completed"), a type of workout 1040-2 (e.g., "Outdoor Run"), and an achievement sticker 1040-3 indicating a workout achievement achieved by a user of the external device (e.g., John). In one embodiment, the message 1040 is created by a training application on the external device, which generates the workout information included in the message 1040. Furthermore, in one embodiment, the training application on the external device includes some or all of the functionality of the training application described herein (e.g., at least the training application as shown in FIG. 6A).
[0298] User interface 1010A also includes a reply affordance 1042-1 (e.g., configured to allow a user to generate a reply message), a mute affordance 1042-1 (e.g., configured to mute subsequent messages from an external device), and a discard affordance 1042-3 (e.g., configured to discard message 1020 without sending a reply message).
[0299] User input 1015C is received at reply affordance 1042-1 (FIG. 10I). Referring to FIGS. 10J-10K, in response to user input 1015C at reply affordance 1042-1 and in accordance with a determination that message 1040 includes training information, user interface 1010B is displayed. User interface 1010B is configured to enable a user to compose a reply message to message 1040. User interface 1010B includes a list 1043 of predefined responses that correspond to message 1040 that includes training information. The predefined responses 1043 include predefined responses 1043-1 (e.g., "You're doing great!"), predefined responses 1043-2 (e.g., "I can't believe it"), predefined responses 1043-3 (e.g., "Good luck!"), predefined responses 1043-4 (e.g., "You motivate me"), predefined responses 1043-5 (e.g., "Hello!"), predefined responses 1043-6 (e.g., "What's up?"), predefined responses 1043-7 (e.g., "I'm on my way"), and predefined responses 1043-8 (e.g., "Okay").
[0300] In addition, user interface 1010B includes affordance 1031 configured to enable a user to record a voice reply to message 1040, affordance 1032 configured to enable a user to select an emoji for a reply message to message 1040, affordance 1033 configured to enable a user to send a handwritten reply message (or sticker) to message 1040, and affordance 1034 configured to enable a user to send a reply message (including text generated from handwritten input) to message 1040.
[0301] In one embodiment, pursuant to a determination that the message 1040 (e.g., text containing "Hi, Jane") does not contain training information, the message is displayed on the device 1000. However, the predefined response 1043 is not displayed on the device 1000.
[0302] User input 1015D is received in predefined response 1043-4. In response to user input 1015D in predefined response 1043-4, a reply message (e.g., reply message 1060 of FIG. 10L) to message 1040 is created. In one embodiment, after receiving user input 1015D in predefined response 1043-4, an intermediate user interface is displayed that prompts the user to create a reply message. In response to the user input to create the reply message, a reply message to message 1040 is created.
[0303] 10L-10M show a user interface 1010C (e.g., a text message user interface) displayed on a counterpart device 1065 (e.g., a counterpart device of the device 1000) and an external device 1090. Referring to FIG. 10L, a reply message 1060 is displayed on the counterpart device 1065. In one embodiment, the reply message 1060 is displayed on the device 1000. The reply message 1060 includes a selected predefined message 1043-4 (e.g., "You motivate me" selected on the device 1000, FIG. 10K), person identifying information 1040-1 (e.g., "John achieved") and training information such as an achievement sticker 1040-3. On the counterpart device 1065, the reply message 1060 is displayed inline with other messages (from the external device 1090). Referring to FIG. 10M, the reply message 1060 is received on the external device 1090 and displayed on the external device 1090. On the external device 1090, the reply message 1060 is displayed inline with other messages (from the other device 1065).
[0304] 10N shows a user interface 1010C displayed on the device 1000. The user interface 1010C includes person identifying information 1040-1 (e.g., "John accomplished"), a selected pre-defined message 1043-4 (e.g., "You motivate me"), and a reply message delivery indication 1051 (e.g., "Delivered"). The reply message delivery indication 1051 indicates that a reply message 1060 (to the message 1020) has been sent to the external device 1090.
[0305] 11 is a flow diagram illustrating a method for creating a reply message including a selected predefined response and training information. Method 1100 is performed on a device (e.g., 100, 300, 500, 600, 800, or 1000) having one or more processors and memory. Some operations of method 1100 are optionally combined, the order of some operations is optionally changed, and some operations are optionally omitted.
[0306] As described below, method 1100 provides, among other things, an intuitive way for a user to quickly create a reply message that automatically includes workout information (from a received message), allowing the user to generate the reply message with minimal user input. By automatically including workout information from a received message in the reply message, the method reduces the cognitive burden on the user. For battery-operated computing devices, power is conserved and the time between battery charges is increased by allowing the user to select a workout from a list of workouts and activate physical activity tracking functionality faster and more efficiently.
[0307] At block 1110, a message (eg, 1020) is received at a device (eg, 1000) from an external device (eg, 1090).
[0308] At block 1120, one or more predefined responses (eg, 1030) to the received message are displayed in accordance with a determination that the message (eg, 1020) includes training information (eg, 1020-1, 1020-2, or 1020-3).
[0309] At block 1130, a user input (eg, 1015B) corresponding to a selection of a default response (eg, 1030-2) of one or more default responses is received.
[0310] After receiving user input (e.g., 1015B), block 1140 creates a reply message (e.g., 1050) that includes the selected predefined response (e.g., 1030-2) and the training information (e.g., 1020-1, 1020-2, or 1020-3).
[0311] In some embodiments, the message (e.g., 1020) is displayed on the device (e.g., 1000). In some embodiments, the created message (e.g., 1050) is transmitted to an external device (e.g., 1090) in response to user input (e.g., 1015B) to select a predefined response (e.g., 1030-2). In some embodiments, pursuant to a determination that the message (e.g., 1020) does not include training information, the message is displayed (e.g., displayed on the device 1000) without subsequently displaying one or more predefined responses (e.g., 1030).
[0312] In some embodiments, the workout information includes information identifying a person (e.g., 1020-1), a workout indicator (e.g., 1020-3), a type of workout (e.g., 1020-2), or an achievement sticker (e.g., 1040-3).
[0313] It should be noted that details of the processing (e.g., FIG. 11) described above with respect to method 1100 are applicable in an analogous manner to the methods described above. For example, method 1100 optionally includes one or more of the features of the various methods described above with reference to method 700. For example, method 1100 includes training indices similar to those described with respect to method 700. For the sake of brevity, these details will not be repeated below.
[0314] 12A-12M show example user interfaces associated with a heart rate tracking application, according to some embodiments. The user interfaces in these figures are used to explain the processes described below, including the process of FIG.
[0315] 12A shows device 1200 having a touch-sensitive display 1202. Device 1200 includes various input mechanisms for receiving user input, such as a rotatable input mechanism 1203 capable of receiving a rotatable input (which may also receive a push input), and an input mechanism 1204 capable of receiving a push user input. In some embodiments, device 1200 includes some or all of the features of device 100, device 300, device 500, device 600, device 800, or device 1000.
[0316] 12A-B, a user interface 1210A of a heart rate application is displayed on a touch-sensitive display 1202. The user interface 1210A includes a list of affordances 1220. The list of affordances 1220 includes an affordance 1221 associated with a current heart rate (of a user of the device 1200), an affordance 1222 associated with a heart rate during a physical activity (e.g., outdoor running), and an affordance 1223 associated with a heart rate during a breathing session of a Breathe application.
[0317] One or more affordances in the list of affordances 1220 identify a physical activity associated with the affordance. For example, affordance 1221 identifies an activity 1221-1 (e.g., a user activity associated with a current heart rate), affordance 1222 identifies an activity 1222-1 (e.g., an outdoor run), and affordance 1223 identifies an activity 1223-1 (e.g., a breathing session).
[0318] One or more affordances in the list of affordances 1220 specify heart rate information associated with the physical activity. For example, affordance 1221 specifies heart rate information 1221-2 (e.g., 75 BPM, 69 resting). Affordance 1222 specifies heart rate information 1222-2 (e.g., average heart rate 138 BPM), and affordance 1223 specifies heart rate information 1223-2 (e.g., 60 BPM). In one embodiment, the heart rate information is measured by a physical activity tracking sensor in device 1200.
[0319] By displaying a list of affordances that identify physical activities and associated heart rate information, a user can quickly view the physical activities and associated heart rate information and select an affordance to view additional heart rate information associated with the physical activity. Reducing the number of inputs required to view the additional heart rate information enhances usability of the device (e.g., by helping the user provide appropriate inputs and reducing user errors when operating or interacting with the device) and makes the user device interface more efficient, thereby additionally reducing power usage and improving the device's battery life by allowing the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
[0320] User input 1215A is received at affordance 1221 (FIG. 12B). In response to user input 1215A at affordance 1221, user interface 1210B is displayed (FIG. 12C). User interface 1210B includes graph 1230. Graph 1230 is a graph of the user's current heart rate (e.g., today's heart rate) over a period of time. User interface 1210B also includes activity 1221-1 (e.g., the user's activity associated with the current heart rate) and heart rate information 1221-2 (e.g., 75 BPM, 69 resting).
[0321] Graph 1230 includes physical activity points corresponding to heart rates for various physical activities. For example, graph 1230 includes physical activity point 1230-1 corresponding to a current heart rate, physical activity point 1230-2 corresponding to an outdoor run, and physical activity point 1230-3 corresponding to a breathing session. As shown in FIG. 12C, physical activity point 1230-1 corresponding to a current heart rate is highlighted because the current heart rate information corresponds to selected affordance 1221.
[0322] A user input 1215B (e.g., a rotational input) is received at the rotatable input mechanism 1203 (FIG. 12D). In response to the user input 1215B at the rotatable input mechanism 1203, an activity 1222-1 (e.g., running outdoors) and corresponding indicators (e.g., high BPM 142, average BPM 138) are displayed (FIG. 12E). Additionally, a physical activity point 1230-2 corresponding to running outdoors is highlighted.
[0323] In response to further user input 1215B with the rotatable input mechanism 1203, an activity 1222-3 (e.g., a breathing session) and a corresponding indicator (e.g., 60 BPM) are displayed (FIG. 12F). In addition, a physical activity point 1230-3 corresponding to the breathing session is highlighted.
[0324] 12G-12H, user input 1215C is received at affordance 1231. In response to user input 1215C at affordance 1231, the previous user interface 1210A is displayed (FIG. 12H).
[0325] User input 1215D is received at affordance 1222 (FIG. 12H). In response to user input 1215D at affordance 1222, user interface 1210B is displayed (FIG. 12I). User interface 1210B includes graph 1240. Graph 1240 is a graph of the user's heart rate while running outdoors for the duration of the outdoor run. User interface 1210B also includes activity 1221-1 (e.g., running outdoors) and corresponding metrics (e.g., high BPM 142 and average BPM 116). Graph 1240 also includes average heart rate 1240-1 (e.g., 116 BPM) for the duration of the outdoor run.
[0326] In some embodiments, a user input (e.g., a tap gesture) is received on the touch-sensitive display 1202 (FIG. 12I). In response to the user input on the touch-sensitive display 1202, the user interface 1210B displays a graph 1245. The graph 1245 is a graph of the user's heart rate during a recovery period (or cool-down period) after completing a physical activity (e.g., running outdoors). For example, the graph 1245 includes heart rate information 1245-1 for a first duration after the outdoor run (e.g., 98 BPM 1 minute after the outdoor run), heart rate information 1245-2 for a second duration after the outdoor run (e.g., 74 BPM 2 minutes after the outdoor run), and heart rate information 1245-3 for a third duration after the outdoor run (e.g., 68 BPM 3 minutes after the outdoor run). In addition, the graph 1245 includes a first heart rate point 1246-1 corresponding to heart rate information 1245-1 (e.g., 98 BPM), a second heart rate point 1246-2 corresponding to heart rate information 1245-2 (e.g., 74 BPM), and a third heart rate point 1246-3 corresponding to heart rate information 1245-3 (e.g., 68 BPM).
[0327] 12K-12L, user input 1215E is received at affordance 1231. In response to user input 1215E at affordance 1231, the previous user interface 1210A is displayed (FIG. 12L).
[0328] User input 1215F is received at affordance 1223 (FIG. 12L). In response to user input 1215F at affordance 1223, user interface 1210B is displayed (FIG. 12M). User interface 1210B includes graph 1250. Graph 1250 is a graph of the user's heart rate during a breathing session over the duration of the breathing session. User interface 1210B includes activity 1223-1 (e.g., the breathing session) and heart rate information 1223-2 (e.g., 60 BPM) associated with the breathing session. Graph 1250 includes average heart rate 1250-1 over the duration of the breathing session.
[0329] 13 is a flow diagram illustrating a method for displaying a scrollable list of affordances associated with heart rate information. Method 1300 is performed on a device (e.g., 100, 300, 500, 600, 800, 1000, or 1200) having one or more processors and memories. Some operations of method 1300 are optionally combined, the order of some operations is optionally changed, and some operations are optionally omitted.
[0330] As described below, method 1300 provides, among other things, an intuitive way to select affordances to view additional heart rate information. The method reduces the cognitive burden on the user by allowing the user to quickly view multiple physical activities and associated heart rate information. For battery-operated computing devices, allowing the user to view multiple physical activities and associated heart rate information faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
[0331] At block 1310, a scrollable list of affordances associated with the heart rate information (e.g., 1220) is displayed. The scrollable list of affordances includes at least a first affordance (e.g., 1221) and a second affordance (e.g., 1222). The first affordance (e.g., 1221) identifies a first physical activity (e.g., 1221-1) and first heart rate information (e.g., 1221-2), the first heart rate information being measured by a physical activity tracking sensor. The second affordance (e.g., 1222) identifies a second physical activity (e.g., 1222-1) and second heart rate information (e.g., 1222-2), the second heart rate information being measured by a physical activity tracking sensor. The second heart rate information (e.g., 1222-2) is different from the first heart rate information (e.g., 1221-2).
[0332] At block 1320, user input (eg, 1215A) is received.
[0333] At block 1330, in accordance with determining that the user input corresponds to the first affordance (eg, 1221), additional first heart rate information (eg, 1230) is displayed.
[0334] At block 1340, in accordance with a determination that the user input corresponds to the second affordance, additional second heart rate information (e.g., 1240) is displayed, where the additional second heart rate information (e.g., 1240) is different from the additional first heart rate information (e.g., 1230).
[0335] In some embodiments, the additional first heart rate information or the additional second heart rate information includes a graph of heart rate over time (e.g., 1240), a graph of average heart rate over time (e.g., 1240-1), a graph of respiratory heart rate over time (e.g., 1250), a graph of current heart rate over a predetermined time period (e.g., 1230), a graph of training heart rate over time (e.g., 1240), or a graph of post-workout heart rate over a predetermined time period (e.g., 1245). In one embodiment, the additional first heart rate information is displayed simultaneously with the first heart rate information (e.g., 1210B).
[0336] It should be noted that details of the processing described above with respect to method 1300 (e.g., FIG. 13) are applicable in an analogous manner to the methods described below. For example, method 1300 optionally includes one or more of the characteristics of the various methods described below with reference to method 1500. For example, method 1300, in some embodiments, includes displaying a heart rate affordance pursuant to a determination that the heart rate data meets a heart rate warning criterion. For the sake of brevity, these details will not be repeated below.
[0337] 14A-14O show example user interfaces associated with a heart rate tracking application, according to some embodiments. The user interfaces in these figures are used to explain the processes described below, including the process of FIG.
[0338] 14A shows device 1400 having a touch-sensitive display 1402. Device 1400 includes various input mechanisms for receiving user input, such as a rotatable input mechanism 1403 that can receive a rotatable input (which may also receive a push input), and an input mechanism 1404 that can receive a push user input. In some embodiments, device 1400 includes some or all of the features of device 100, device 300, device 500, device 600, device 800, device 1000, or device 1200.
[0339] 14A, a user interface 1410A is displayed on a touch-sensitive display 1402. The user interface 1410A includes heart rate information 1420 (e.g., 75 BPM, 2 minutes ago). The heart rate information 1420 is the current heart rate of a user of the device 1400. The user interface 1410A includes one or more affordances associated with respective applications (e.g., an affordance 1421 associated with a workout application and an affordance 1422 associated with an activity tracking application). In addition, the user interface 1410A includes the time, date, temperature, etc.
[0340] A user input 1415A corresponding to heart rate information 1420 is received on the touch-sensitive display 1402 (FIG. 14B). In response to the user input 1415A on the touch-sensitive display 1402, a user interface 1415B is displayed (FIG. 14C). The user interface 1410B is similar to the user interface 1210A (FIG. 12A) described above in some embodiments. The user interface 1410B includes an affordance 1421 associated with a current heart rate of a user of the device 1400. The affordance 1421 identifies a physical activity 1421-1 (e.g., the user's current activity associated with the current heart rate) and heart rate information 1421-2 (e.g., 75 BPM measured 2 minutes ago (of the current time)).
[0341] While tracking heart rate data (e.g., a user's current heart rate) corresponding to data received from a physical activity tracking sensor of the device 1400, it is determined that the heart rate data meets a heart rate alert criterion (e.g., the tracked heart rate data is arrhythmia). In response to determining that the heart rate data meets the heart rate alert criterion (e.g., determining that the tracked heart rate data is arrhythmia), a user interface 1410C is displayed (FIG. 14D). The user interface 1410C includes a heart rate alert affordance 1430 (e.g., "Cardiac Health Condition, Possible Arrhythmia Detected") that alerts the user that the user's tracked heart rate data meets the heart rate alert criterion.
[0342] In one embodiment, the heart rate warning criteria includes criteria based on a heart rate exceeding a heart rate threshold. For example, the instantaneous heart rate exceeds a predetermined heart rate threshold (e.g., a heart rate above 100 BPM or a heart rate below 60 BPM), where exceeding the predetermined heart rate threshold indicates arrhythmia. The instantaneous heart rate may be determined by measuring the beat interval between two successive heart rates. The instantaneous heart rate is based on a single interval (between successive heart beats). The instantaneous heart rate may be converted to beats per minute, and thus such instantaneous heart rate may vary between successive beats (intervals).
[0343] In one embodiment, the heart rate alert criteria include criteria that are met when a heart rate pattern matches a heart rate alert pattern, for example, a pattern of instantaneous heart rate (e.g., irregular instantaneous heart rate between successive beats) matches a heart rate alert pattern indicative of arrhythmia.
[0344] When a user's tracked cardiac information is determined to indicate that the user may have an arrhythmia, a heart rate warning icon is displayed to immediately alert the user to a possible cardiac condition that should be diagnosed by a medical professional. Taking action when a set of conditions is met without requiring further user input enhances the usability of the device (e.g., by assisting the user in providing appropriate inputs and reducing user errors when operating or interacting with the device) and makes the user device interface more efficient, thereby additionally reducing power usage and improving the device's battery life by allowing the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
[0345] User input 1415B is received at heart rate alert affordance 1430 (FIG. 14D). In response to receiving user input 1415B at heart rate alert affordance 1430, user interface 1410D is displayed (FIG. 14E). User interface 1410D provides information to the user that further details associated with the heart rate data may be accessed on a companion device to device 1400.
[0346] 14F-O show counterpart device 1490 paired with device 1400. Counterpart device 1490 includes a touch-sensitive display 1491. Counterpart device 1490, in some embodiments, when paired with device 1400, can display an application view and perform at least some of the same processing as device 1400, as described herein.
[0347] 14F, user interface 1492A includes a list 1493 of affordances associated with each application (e.g., a watch application, a camera application, a weather application, a clock application, and a health application). Affordance 1493-1 is associated with the health application. The health application displays heart rate data, which is described in more detail below. Additionally, in some embodiments, the health application on counterpart device 1490 is configured to control various features and functions of a corresponding health application on device 1400.
[0348] User input 1415C is received at affordance 1493-1 associated with a health application (FIG. 14G). In response to user input 1415C, user interface 1492B is displayed (FIG. 14H). User interface 1492B includes various affordances 1494 associated with health data. For example, user interface 1492B includes affordance 1494-1 associated with activity data, affordance 1494-2 associated with cardiac health data, affordance 1494-3 associated with mindfulness data, affordance 1494-4 associated with nutrition data, and affordance 1494-5 associated with sleep data.
[0349] User input 1415D is received at affordance 1494-2 (FIG. 14I). In response to user input 1415D, user interface 1492C is displayed (FIG. 14J). User interface 1492C includes graph 1495. Graph 1495 includes heart rate data over a period of time that meets the heart rate alert criteria. For example, graph 1495 is a tachogram of heart rate data (meeting the heart rate alert criteria) over a predetermined period of time (e.g., 21 seconds). Graph 1495 includes normal heart rate 1495-1 over the same period of time. Graph 1495 is displayed following receipt of user input 1415B at cardiac alert affordance 1430 (FIG. 14D).
[0350] User interface 1492C includes graph type 1496-1 (e.g., tachogram), duration 1496-2 (e.g., 21 seconds) for tracking heart rate data, additional graph information 1496-3, instructions for the user 1496-4, and heart rate alert settings 1496-5 (e.g., enabled or disabled). In one embodiment, the settings for heart rate alert settings 1496-5 correspond to settings selected by the user on device 1490. In another embodiment, the settings for heart rate alert settings 1496-5 correspond to default settings on device 1490.
[0351] User interface 1492C includes scrollable cardiac data affordances 1497-1, 1497-2, and 1497-3. The scrollable cardiac data affordances are associated with set heart rate data corresponding to data received from a physical activity tracking sensor. The scrollable cardiac data affordances identify a date and time that the heart rate data was received from the physical activity tracking sensor. For example, cardiac data affordance 1497-1 identifies a date 1498-1 (e.g., today, November 16, 2016) and a time 1498-2 (e.g., 5:21 PM) that associated data was received from the physical activity tracking sensor.
[0352] Graph 1495 corresponds to the heart rate data associated with affordance 1497-1 (FIG. 14J). Affordance 1497-1 is therefore highlighted relative to affordance 1497-2 and affordance 1497-3.
[0353] 14K-M, user input 1415E (e.g., a swipe gesture) is received near scrollable cardiac data affordances 1497-1, 1497-2, and 1497-3. In response to user input 1415E, cardiac data affordances 1497-1, 1497-2, and 1497-3 are scrolled to new positions. For example, the affordances are translated to the left such that at least affordance 1497-3 is fully displayed.
[0354] 14N-14O, user input 1415F is received at affordance 1497-3. In response to receiving user input 1415F at affordance 1497-3, graph 1495 is replaced with graph 1499 (FIG. 14O). Graph 1499 corresponds to the heart rate data associated with affordance 1497-3. Thus, affordance 1497-3 is highlighted relative to affordance 1497-1 and affordance 1497-2. It should be appreciated that the heart rate data associated with at least one affordance (e.g., affordance 1497-1, 1497-2, or 1497-3) is heart rate data that meets the heart rate alert criteria. In some embodiments, heart rate data associated with at least one affordance (eg, affordance 1497-1, 1497-2, or 1497-3) is heart rate data that does not meet the heart rate warning criteria.
[0355] It should be appreciated that heart rate data (e.g., heart rate data that meets the heart rate alert criteria) can be transmitted to an external device. For example, the heart rate data can be transmitted (e.g., emailed or texted) to a medical professional's device so that the medical professional can access / view the heart rate data.
[0356] 15 is a flow diagram illustrating a method for displaying a heart rate alert affordance. Method 1500 is performed on a device (e.g., 100, 300, 500, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, or 1400) having one or more processors and memories. Some operations of method 1500 are optionally combined, the order of some operations is optionally changed, and some operations are optionally omitted.
[0357] As described below, method 1500 provides, among other things, an intuitive way to immediately alert a user to a possible heart rhythm irregularity. The method reduces the cognitive burden on the user by allowing the user to quickly view the heart rate alert and subsequently view heart rate data that meets the heart rate alert criteria. For battery-operated computing devices, power is conserved and the time between battery charges is increased by allowing the user to more quickly and efficiently view heart rate data that meets the heart rate alert criteria.
[0358] At block 1510, while tracking heart rate data corresponding to data received from a physical activity tracking sensor (e.g., tracking current heart rate data), it is determined whether the heart rate data meets heart rate warning criteria (e.g., the heart rate data is consistent with an irregular heart rate pattern).
[0359] At block 1520, in accordance with a determination that the heart rate data meets the heart rate alert criteria, a heart rate alert affordance is displayed (eg, 1430).
[0360] At block 1530, a user input corresponding to the heart rate alert affordance (e.g., 1415B) is received.
[0361] At block 1540, after receiving user input corresponding to the heart rate alert affordance, a graph (e.g., 1495) is displayed including heart rate data over a period of time that meets the heart rate alert criteria. At block 1550, pursuant to a determination that the heart rate data (e.g., the user's current heart rate data) does not meet the heart rate alert criteria, the heart rate alert affordance is withheld from display (e.g., 1430 is not displayed).
[0362] In some embodiments, the graph 1495 includes an expected or normal heart rate 1495-1 over a period of time. In some embodiments, the heart rate warning criteria include criteria based on a heart rate exceeding a heart rate threshold. In some embodiments, the heart rate warning criteria include criteria that are met when a heart rate pattern matches a heart rate warning pattern. In some embodiments, the heart rate data is instantaneous heart rate acceleration. In some embodiments, the graph 1495 of the heart rate data is a tachogram.
[0363] In some embodiments, the heart rate data is transmitted to an external device, for example, the heart rate data is transmitted (e.g., emailed, texted) to a medical professional's device.
[0364] It should be noted that details of the processing (e.g., FIG. 15) described above with respect to method 1500 are applicable in an analogous manner to the methods described below. For example, method 1500 optionally includes one or more of the characteristics of the various methods described above with reference to method 700. For example, method 1500, in some embodiments, includes initiating a physical activity tracking function in response to a selection of an affordance in a scrollable list of affordances. For the sake of brevity, these details will not be repeated below.
[0365] The above has been described with reference to specific embodiments for purposes of illustration. However, the above exemplary discussion is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed. Many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teachings. These embodiments have been chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the technology and its practical application. In order to enable others skilled in the art to best utilize the technology and various embodiments with various modifications as suited to the particular applications intended.
[0366] Although the present disclosure and examples have been fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings, it should be noted that various changes and modifications will become apparent to those skilled in the art, and such changes and modifications are to be understood as being included within the scope of the present disclosure and examples, as defined by the claims.
[0367] As mentioned above, one aspect of the present technology is to collect and use data available from various sources to enhance the display of physical activity information to a user. The present disclosure contemplates that in some examples, this collected data may include personal information data that uniquely identifies a particular person or that can be used to contact or locate a particular person. Such personal information data may include demographic data, location-based data, phone numbers, email addresses, Twitter IDs, home addresses, data or records regarding the user's health or fitness level (e.g., vital sign measurements, medication information, exercise information), birth date, or any other identifying or personal information.
[0368] This disclosure recognizes that the use of such personal information data in the present technology may be for the benefit of the user. For example, personal information data may be used to provide a user with a history of their physical activity. Such use of personal information data may thus enable feedback to the user regarding their physical activity. Moreover, other uses of personal information data that benefit the user are also contemplated by this disclosure. For example, health and fitness data may be used to provide insight into the overall wellness of the user, or may be used as proactive feedback to individuals using the technology to pursue wellness goals.
[0369] This disclosure contemplates that entities involved in the collection, analysis, disclosure, transfer, storage, or other use of such personal information data will adhere to robust privacy policies and / or practices. Specifically, such entities should implement and consistently use privacy policies and practices that are generally recognized as meeting or exceeding industry or government requirements for keeping personal information data confidential and secure. Such policies should be easily accessible by users and should be updated as data collection and / or use changes. Personal information from users should be collected for the entity's lawful and legitimate use and should not be shared or sold except for those lawful uses. Furthermore, such collection / sharing should be conducted after informing and obtaining consent from the user. Furthermore, such entities should consider taking all necessary measures to protect and secure access to such personal information data and ensure that others having access to that personal information data adhere to their privacy policies and procedures. Furthermore, such entities may subject themselves to third-party assessments to attest to their adherence to widely accepted privacy policies and practices. Moreover, policies and practices should be adapted to the specific types of personal data collected and / or accessed, and should conform to applicable laws and standards, including jurisdiction-specific considerations. For example, in the United States, collection of or access to certain health data may be governed by federal and / or state laws, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), while health data in other countries may be subject to other regulations and policies and should be addressed accordingly. Therefore, different privacy practices should be maintained with respect to different types of personal data in each country.
[0370] Notwithstanding the foregoing, the present disclosure also contemplates embodiments in which a user selectively blocks use of or access to personal information data. That is, the present disclosure contemplates that hardware and / or software elements may be provided to prevent or block access to such personal information data. For example, in the case of a physical activity service, the present technology may be configured to allow a user to select to "opt-in" or "opt-out" of participating in the collection of personal information data during registration for the service. In another example, a user may choose not to provide location information to the targeted content delivery service or at any time thereafter. In yet another example, a user may choose not to provide precise physical activity information but allow transfer of general physical activity information. In addition to providing "opt-in" and "opt-out" options, the present disclosure contemplates providing notifications regarding access or use of personal information. For example, a user may be notified upon download of an app that will access the user's personal information data, and then again immediately before the personal information data is accessed by the app.
[0371] Moreover, it is the intent of this disclosure that personal information data should be managed and processed in a manner that minimizes the risk of unintended or unauthorized access or use. Risk can be minimized by limiting collection of data and deleting it when it is no longer needed. Furthermore, where applicable, de-identification of data can be used to protect user privacy in certain health-related applications. De-identification can be facilitated by removing certain identifiers (e.g., date of birth, etc.) where appropriate, controlling the amount or specificity of data stored (e.g., collecting location data at a city level rather than an address level), controlling how data is stored (e.g., aggregating data across users), and / or other methods.
[0372] Thus, while this disclosure broadly encompasses the use of personal information data to implement one or more of the various disclosed embodiments, this disclosure also contemplates that the various embodiments may be implemented without requiring access to such personal information data, i.e., the various embodiments of the technology are not rendered inoperable by the absence of all or a portion of such personal information data, for example, information may be presented using non-personal information data or physical activity based on a minimal amount of personal information.
