Attention is now directed to embodiments of portable devices having touch-sensitive displays. 1A is a block diagram illustrating a portable multifunction device 100 having a touch-sensitive display system 112, in accordance with some embodiments. Touch-sensitive display 112 is sometimes referred to as a "touch screen" for convenience, and is sometimes 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. include Device 100 optionally includes one or more optical sensors 164 . Device 100 optionally includes one or more contact intensity sensors to detect the intensity of contacts on device 100 (eg, a touch-sensitive surface such as touch-sensitive display system 112 of device 100). (165). Device 100 is optionally configured to generate tactile outputs on device 100 (eg, with touch-sensitive display system 112 of device 100 or touchpad 355 of device 300 ). one or more tactile output generators 167 (for generating tactile outputs on the same touch-sensitive surface). These components optionally communicate via one or more communication buses or signal lines 103 .

As used in the specification and claims, the term "strength" of a contact on a touch-sensitive surface refers to the force or pressure (force per unit area) of a contact (eg, finger contact) on a touch-sensitive surface, or a touch-sensitive Refers to a substitute (surrogate) for the force or pressure of contact on a surface. The intensity of the contact has a range of values that includes at least four distinct values and more typically includes hundreds (eg, at least 256) distinct values. The strength of the contact is optionally determined (or measured) using various approaches and various sensors or combinations of sensors. For example, one or more force sensors under or near the touch-sensitive surface are optionally used to measure force at various points on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, force measurements from multiple force sensors are combined (eg, a weighted average) to determine an estimated force of contact. Similarly, a pressure-sensitive tip of the stylus is optionally used to determine the pressure of the stylus on the touch-sensitive surface. Alternatively, the size of a contact area detected on the touch-sensitive surface and/or changes thereto, the capacitance of the touch-sensitive surface near the contact and/or changes thereto, and/or the touch-sensitive surface near the contact. The resistance of and/or changes thereto are optionally used as a substitute for the force or pressure of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, alternate measurements of contact force or pressure are used directly to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (eg, the intensity threshold is described in units corresponding to the alternate measurements). In some implementations, alternate measurements of contact force or pressure are 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 the pressure is the pressure threshold measured in units of Using the intensity of a touch as an attribute of user input may otherwise display affordances (e.g., on a touch-sensitive display) and/or (e.g., a touch-sensitive display, touch-sensitive surface, or knob). or via physical/mechanical controls such as buttons) to enable user access to additional device functions that may not be accessible by the user on a reduced size device with a limited real-area for receiving user input.

As used in the specification and claims, the term “tactile output” refers to the physical displacement of a device relative to its previous location, a component of the device (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface) relative to another component of the device (e.g., a housing). ), or the displacement of a component relative to the center of mass of the device to be detected by the user using the user's sense of touch. For example, in situations where a device or a component of a device is in contact with a user's touch-sensitive surface (eg, a finger, palm, or other part of the user's hand), the tactile output generated by the physical displacement is as a tactile sensation corresponding to a perceived change in the physical properties of a device or component of a device. For example, movement of a touch-sensitive surface (eg, a touch-sensitive display or trackpad) is optionally perceived by the user as a "down click" or "up click" of a physical actuator button. interpreted by In some cases, the user may experience a tactile sensation, such as a “down click” or “up click,” even in the absence of movement of a physical actuator button associated with the touch-sensitive surface that is physically depressed (eg, displaced) by the user's movement. will feel As another example, movement of the touch-sensitive surface is interpreted or perceived by the user as “roughness” of the touch-sensitive surface, optionally even when there is no change in the smoothness of the touch-sensitive surface. Although such interpretations of touch by a user will be subject to the user's individualized sensory perceptions, there are many sensory perceptions of touch that are common to the majority of users. Thus, when a tactile output is described as corresponding to a particular sensory perception of a user (e.g., "up click", "down click", "roughness"), unless otherwise stated, the generated tactile output is typical (or corresponds to a physical displacement of the device or component thereof that will produce the described sensory perception for the average) user.

See U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 11/968,067, filed dated, "Portable Multifunction Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Playing Online Videos," the contents of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. .

Each of the above-identified modules and applications is executable for performing one or more of the functions described above and methods described herein (eg, computer implemented methods and other information processing methods described herein). Corresponds to a set of instructions. These modules (eg, sets of instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs, procedures, or modules, and thus various subsets of these modules are optionally combined or otherwise rearranged in various embodiments. . For example, the video player module is optionally combined with the music player module into a single module (eg, video and music player module 152 in FIG. 1A). In some embodiments, memory 102 optionally stores a subset of the modules and data structures identified above. Memory 102 also optionally stores additional modules and data structures not described above.

In some embodiments, device 100 is a device where operation of a predefined set of functions on the device is performed exclusively via a touch screen and/or touchpad. By using a touch screen and/or touchpad as the primary input control device for operation of device 100, the number of physical input control devices (such as push buttons, dials, etc.) on device 100 is optionally reduced.

A predefined set of functions performed entirely via the touch screen and/or touchpad optionally include navigation between user interfaces. In some embodiments, the touchpad, when touched by a user, navigates device 100 from any user interface displayed on device 100 to a main, home or root menu. In these embodiments, the "menu button" is implemented using a touchpad. In some other embodiments, the menu button is a physical push button or other physical input control device instead of a touchpad.

1B is a block diagram illustrating example components for event handling, in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments, memory ( 102 in FIG. 1A or 370 in FIG. 3 ) stores event sorter 170 (eg, in operating system 126 ) and each application 136 - 1 (eg, the application described above). (any of 137-151, 155, 380-390).

The event sorter 170 receives the event information and determines the application 136-1 to which the event information is to be passed, and the application view 191 of the application 136-1. Event sorter 170 includes event monitor 171 and event dispatcher module 174 . In some embodiments, application 136-1 includes application internal state 192 indicating the current application view(s) 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) are currently active, and application internal state 192 is used by event sorter 170 It is used to determine which application views 191 to forward event information to.

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

Event monitor 171 receives event information from peripherals interface 118 . Event information includes information about a sub-event (eg, a user's touch on touch-sensitive display 112 as part of a multi-touch gesture). Peripherals interface 118 is provided from I/O subsystem 106 or sensors such as proximity sensor 166, accelerometer(s) 168, and/or microphone 113 (via audio circuitry 110). Sends the information it receives. Information that peripherals interface 118 receives from I/O subsystem 106 includes information from touch-sensitive display 112 or touch-sensitive surface.

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 (eg, receiving an input that exceeds a predetermined noise threshold and/or for more than a predetermined duration). .

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

Hit view determination module 172 provides software procedures for determining where a sub-event occurred within one or more views when touch-sensitive display 112 displays more than one view. Views consist of controls and other elements that a user can see on a display.

Another aspect of the user interface associated with an application is a set of views, sometimes referred to herein as application views or user interface windows, where information is displayed and touch-based gestures occur. The application views (of each application) on which a touch is detected optionally correspond to programmatic levels within the application's programmatic hierarchy or view hierarchy. For example, the lowest-level view in which a touch is detected is optionally referred to as a hit view, and the set of events recognized as pertinent inputs are optionally based at least in part on the hit view of the initial touch initiating the touch-based gesture. It is decided.

Hit view determination module 172 receives information related to sub-events of a touch-based gesture. If an application has multiple views organized in a hierarchy, hit view determination module 172 identifies the hit view as the lowest view in the hierarchy that should handle the sub-event. In most situations, a hit view is the lowest level view in which an initiating subevent (eg, the first subevent in a sequence of subevents forming an event or potential event) occurs. Once a hit view is identified by the hit view determination module 172, the hit view typically receives all subevents related to the same touch or input source for which it is identified as the hit view.

Active event recognizer determination module 173 determines which view or views within the view hierarchy should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In some embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that only the hit view should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that all views that include the physical location of the sub-event are actively involved views, and therefore all actively involved views are specific to the sub-events. Determines that the sequence should be received. In other embodiments, even if touch sub-events are restricted entirely to the region associated with one particular view, higher views in the hierarchy will still remain as actively participating views.

Event dispatcher module 174 dispatches event information to an event recognizer (eg, event recognizer 180 ). In embodiments that include active event recognizer determination module 173 , event dispatcher module 174 passes event information to the event recognizer determined by active event recognizer determination module 173 . In some embodiments, event dispatcher module 174 stores event information in an event queue, which event information is retrieved by individual event receivers 182.

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.

In some embodiments, application 136-1 includes a plurality of event handlers 190 and one or more application views 191, each of which touch events occur within a respective view of the user interface of the application. contains instructions for processing them. Each application view 191 of application 136-1 includes one or more event recognizers 180. Typically, an individual application view 191 includes a plurality of event recognizers 180 . In other embodiments, one or more of event recognizers 180 is part of a separate module, such as a user interface kit or higher level object from which application 136-1 inherits methods and other properties. In some embodiments, an individual event handler 190 is one of data updater 176, object updater 177, GUI updater 178, and/or event data 179 received from event sorter 170. contains more than Event handler 190 optionally uses or calls data updater 176 , object updater 177 , or GUI updater 178 to update application internal state 192 . Alternatively, one or more of the application views 191 include one or more respective event handlers 190 . Also, in some embodiments, one or more of data updater 176 , object updater 177 , and GUI updater 178 are included within a respective application view 191 .

A respective event recognizer 180 receives event information (eg, event data 179 ) from event sorter 170 and identifies an event from the event information. Event recognizer 180 includes event receiver 182 and 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).

Event receiver 182 receives event information from event classifier 170 . The event information includes information about a sub-event, for example, a touch or a touch movement. Depending on the sub-event, the event information also includes additional information such as the location of the sub-event. If the sub-event relates to the motion of the touch, the event information optionally also includes the speed and direction of the sub-event. In some embodiments, events include rotation of the device from one orientation to another (eg, from portrait to landscape orientation, or vice versa), the event information being the device's current orientation (also referred to as device posture). It contains corresponding information about

Event comparator 184 compares the event information to predefined event or sub-event definitions and, based on the comparison, determines the event or sub-event, or determines or updates the status of the event or sub-event. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 includes event definitions 186 . Event definitions 186 include definitions of events (eg, predefined sequences of sub-events), eg, event 1 187-1, event 2 187-2, and the like. In some embodiments, sub-events within event 187 include, for example, touch start, touch end, touch move, touch cancel, and multi-touch. In one example, the definition for event 1 (187-1) is a double tap on a displayed object. A double tap may be, for example, a first touch on a displayed object during a predetermined phase (touch start), a first liftoff during a predetermined phase (touch end), a displayed object during a predetermined phase a second touch on the top (touch start), and a second liftoff (touch end) during a predetermined phase. In another example, the definition for event 2 (187-2) is dragging on a displayed object. Dragging includes, for example, a touch (or contact) on a displayed object during a predetermined phase, movement of the touch across the touch-sensitive display 112 , and lift-off (touch end) of the touch. In some embodiments, an event also includes information about one or more associated event handlers 190 .

In some embodiments, event definition 187 includes a definition of an event for a respective user interface object. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which user interface object is associated with a sub-event. For example, in an application view 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 determines three user interface objects. A hit test is performed to determine which of them is associated with a touch (subevent). If each displayed object is associated with an individual event handler 190, the event comparator uses the result of the hit test to determine which event handler 190 should be activated. For example, event comparator 184 selects an event handler associated with the object and subevent that triggers the hit test.

In some embodiments, the definition for each event 187 also includes deferred actions that delay delivery of the event information until after it has been determined whether the sequence of subevents corresponds to or does not correspond to the event recognizer's event type. .

If individual event recognizer 180 determines that the series of sub-events does not match any of the events in event definitions 186, then individual event recognizer 180 determines event disabled, event failed, or event ended. state, after which the respective event recognizer ignores subsequent sub-events of the touch-based gesture. In this situation, other event recognizers, if any, that remain active for the hit view continue to track and process sub-events of the ongoing touch-based gesture.

In some embodiments, individual event recognizers 180 may include configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how the event delivery system should perform subevent delivery for actively participating event recognizers. It includes metadata 183 with In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how event recognizers interact with, or become interactable with, each other. In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate whether subevents are passed to various levels in a view hierarchy or program hierarchy. .

In some embodiments, an individual event recognizer 180 activates an event handler 190 associated with an event when one or more specific sub-events of the event are recognized. In some embodiments, individual event recognizer 180 passes event information associated with the event to event handler 190 . Activating the event handler 190 is separate from sending (and deferred sending) subevents to individual hit views. In some embodiments, event recognizer 180 sends a flag associated with the recognized event, and event handler 190 associated with the flag catches the flag and performs a predefined process.

In some embodiments, event delivery instructions 188 include subevent delivery instructions that deliver event information about a subevent without activating an event handler. Instead, subevent delivery instructions deliver event information to event handlers or actively participating views associated with a series of subevents. Event handlers associated with a series of sub-events or actively participating views receive event information and perform a predetermined process.

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

In some embodiments, event handler(s) 190 includes or accesses 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 within 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.

Personal electronic device 500 is not limited to the components and configuration of FIG. 5B and may include other or additional components in many configurations.

As used herein, the term "affordance" refers to a user interaction that is selectively displayed on the display screen of devices 100, 300, and/or 500 (FIGS. 1A, 3, and 5A and 5B). Refers to a user-interactive graphical user interface object. For example, each of an image (eg icon), button, and text (eg hyperlink) selectively constitutes an affordance.

As used herein, the term "focus selector" refers to an input element that indicates the current portion of the user interface with which the user is interacting. In some implementations that include a cursor or other location marker, a touch-sensitive surface (eg, FIG. 3 ) while the cursor is over a particular user interface element (eg, a button, window, slider, or other user interface element). When an input (e.g., a press input) is detected on touchpad 355 of FIG. 4 or touch-sensitive surface 451 of FIG. function as Some implementations that include a touch screen display that enable direct interaction with user interface elements on the touch screen display (eg, touch-sensitive display system 112 of FIG. 1A or touch screen 112 of FIG. 4A ) , when an input (eg, a press input by contact) is detected on a touch screen display at the location of a specific user interface element (eg, a button, window, slider, or other user interface element), the specific user interface element is detected The detected contact on the touch screen functions as a “focus selector” to be adjusted according to the received input. In some implementations, the focus is shifted to the user interface without corresponding movement of a cursor or movement of a contact on the touch screen display (eg, by moving focus from one button to another using a tab key or arrow keys). is moved from one area of the user interface to another area of the user interface; In these implementations, the focus selector moves according to the movement of focus between different areas of the user interface. Regardless of the particular form the focus selector has, it is generally intended to convey the user's intended interaction with the user interface (e.g., by presenting the device with an element of the user interface that the user wishes to interact with). A user interface element (or touch on a touch screen display) that is controlled by For example, the position of a focus selector (eg, cursor, touch, or selection box) over an individual button while a press input is detected on a touch-sensitive surface (eg, a touch pad or touch screen) (on a display of a device) (unlike other user interface elements shown in ) will indicate that the user intends to activate an individual button.

As used in the specification and claims, the term "characteristic intensity" of a contact refers to a characteristic of a contact based on one or more intensities of the contact. In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is based on multiple intensity samples. The characteristic intensity is optionally selected for a predefined number of intensity samples, or for a predefined event (e.g., after detecting a contact, before detecting a liftoff of a contact, before detecting the start of movement of a contact). or after a predetermined period of time (e.g., 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10 seconds). Optionally, the characteristic intensity of contact is a maximum value of contact intensities, a mean value of contact intensities, an average value of contact intensities, a top 10 percentile value of contact intensities. ), a value of half the maximum of the intensities of the contact, a value of 90 percent of the maximum of the intensities of the contact, and the like. In some embodiments, the duration of the contact (eg, when the characteristic intensity is an average of the intensity of the contact over time) is used to determine the characteristic intensity. In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is compared to a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether the action was 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, as a result of a contact having a characteristic intensity that does not exceed a first threshold, a first action is performed, and as a result of a contact having a characteristic intensity that exceeds the first intensity threshold but does not exceed a second intensity threshold, a second action is performed. An action is performed, and as a result of a contact having a characteristic strength above the second threshold, a third action is performed. In some embodiments, a comparison between a characteristic strength and one or more thresholds is used to determine whether to perform one or more actions (e.g., perform each action), rather than being used to determine whether to perform a first action or a second action. whether or not to suspend performing each action).

In some embodiments, a portion of a gesture is identified to determine characteristic strength. For example, the touch-sensitive surface optionally receives successive swipe contacts that transition from a starting location to an ending location, at which point the intensity of the contact increases. In this example, the characteristic strength of the contact at the end position is optionally based on only a portion of successive swipe contacts (eg, only a portion of the swipe contact at the end location) and not the entire swipe contact. In some embodiments, a smoothing algorithm is optionally applied to the intensities of the swipe contact before determining the characteristic intensity of the contact. For example, the smoothing algorithm optionally comprises one of an unweighted sliding-average smoothing algorithm, a triangular smoothing algorithm, a median filter smoothing algorithm, and/or an exponential smoothing algorithm. contains one or more In some situations, these smoothing algorithms remove narrow spikes or dips in the strengths of the swipe contact to determine the characteristic strength.

The intensity of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface is optionally characterized for one or more intensity thresholds, such as a contact-detection intensity threshold, a light press intensity threshold, a deep press intensity threshold, and/or one or more other intensity thresholds. In some embodiments, the light press intensity threshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device will perform actions typically associated with clicking a button of a physical mouse or trackpad. In some embodiments, the deep press intensity threshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device will perform actions different from those typically associated with clicking a button of a physical mouse or trackpad. In some embodiments, when a contact is detected with a characteristic intensity below a light-press intensity threshold (eg, and above a nominal contact-detection intensity threshold below which the contact is no longer detected), the device performs a light-press Movement of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface will move the focus selector without performing an action associated with the intensity threshold or the deep press intensity threshold. In general, unless otherwise noted, these intensity thresholds are consistent between different sets of user interface drawings.

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 is sometimes referred to as a "light press" input. 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 is sometimes referred to as a "deep press" input. 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 is sometimes referred to as detection of 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 is sometimes referred to as detection of 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.

In some embodiments described herein, one or more actions detect an individual press input performed with an individual contact (or multiple contacts) or in response to detecting a gesture comprising the individual press input. and wherein the respective press input is detected based at least in part on detecting an increase in the intensity of the contact (or plurality of contacts) above a press-input intensity threshold. In some embodiments, the respective action is performed in response to detecting an increase in intensity of the respective contact above a press-input intensity threshold (eg, a “down stroke” of the respective press input) . In some embodiments, the press input comprises an increase in the intensity of the respective contact above a press-input intensity threshold and a subsequent decrease in the intensity of the contact below the press-input intensity threshold, wherein the respective action exceeds the press-input threshold in response to detecting a subsequent decrease in intensity of an individual contact below (eg, an “up stroke” of an individual press input).

In some embodiments, the device uses intensity hysteresis to avoid abrupt inputs, sometimes referred to as "jitter", where the device has a hysteresis intensity threshold ( For example, the hysteresis intensity threshold is X intensity units lower than the press-input intensity threshold, or the hysteresis intensity threshold is 75%, 90%, or any suitable percentage of the press-input intensity threshold. Thus, in some embodiments, a press input includes an increase in the intensity of an individual contact above a press-input intensity threshold and a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact below a hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to the press-input intensity threshold; , the respective action is performed in response to detecting a subsequent decrease in the intensity of the respective contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold (eg, the “up stroke” of the respective press input). Similarly, in some embodiments, the press input is 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, an increase in the intensity of the contact to an intensity below the hysteresis intensity. It is detected only when the device detects a subsequent decrease, and the respective action is performed in response to detecting the press input (eg, increasing the intensity of the contact or decreasing the intensity of the contact, depending on the situation).

For convenience of explanation, descriptions of operations performed in response to a press input associated with a press-input intensity threshold or in response to a gesture including a press input include, optionally, an increase in the intensity of a contact exceeding the press-input intensity threshold, a hysteresis An increase in the intensity of the contact from an intensity below the intensity threshold to an intensity above the press-input intensity threshold, a decrease in the intensity of the contact below the press-input intensity threshold, and/or a hysteresis below the intensity threshold corresponding to the press-input intensity threshold. is triggered in response to detecting any one of a decrease in the intensity of the contact of Also, in examples where an action is described as being performed in response to detecting a decrease in the intensity of the contact below a press-input intensity threshold, the action optionally corresponds to the press-input intensity threshold and lowers the hysteresis intensity. In response to detecting a decrease in the intensity of the contact below a threshold.

Attention is now directed to embodiments of user interfaces (“UIs”) and associated processes implemented on an electronic device, such as portable multifunction device 100 , device 300 , or device 500 .

6A-6S illustrate example user interfaces for scrolling and selecting items in accordance with some embodiments. The user interfaces in these figures are used to illustrate the processes described below, including those of FIG. 7 .

6A-6S illustrate example user inputs and corresponding changes to a user interface that includes a list of items (eg, user interface 602), which is shown in FIG. 6A and in some cases is touch sensitive. can be displayed on an electronic device, such as an electronic device 600 having a display 601 that is a type display (eg, 112 ). It should be appreciated that the scroll operations and selection operations described herein may be performed in slightly different ways without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. For example, a scroll operation performed in a direction described herein as being an upward direction may generally be performed in a downward direction, and vice versa. Similarly, vertical scroll directions can be performed horizontally. Additionally, commands to change the selected state of an item from a selected state to a deselected state can generally be performed to change a selected state from an unselected state to a selected state, and vice versa.

As described herein, user interface 602 can operate in edit mode and non-edit mode. 6A-6C illustrate various scroll and select operations that may be performed when user interface 602 is in a non-editing mode.

As shown in FIG. 6A , the electronic device 600 displays a user interface 602 having a list 604 and a preview pane 606 . Electronic device 600 may include one or more features of devices 100 , 300 and 500 . Listing 604, in FIG. 6A, includes items 608 that contain emails in the Inbox folder of the email application. A preview pane 606 displays a preview of the contents of the selected item 608 in the list 604 . In FIG. 6A , item 608-1 is selected, as indicated by highlight 610 in item 608-1, and a preview of the contents of item 608-1 is displayed in preview window 606. It is displayed as preview content 607-1. It should be noted that the disclosed embodiments are not limited to a list of emails, and thus may be implemented in other user interfaces that include lists of items, such as, for example, lists of text messages, pictures, files, or other items. Recognize.

User interface 602 includes a header area 605 with edit affordance 603, which allows items 608 in list 604 to be selected, optionally actions ( For example, deletion, archiving, forwarding, etc.) may be selected to switch to edit mode.

In FIG. 6A , electronic device 600 detects input 612 on list 604 (eg, input from a user of the electronic device). Input 612 is a contact recognized by electronic device 600 as a scroll command, followed by an upward movement (eg, swipe). In response to detecting input 612, electronic device 600 maintains selection of item 608-1 while listing the list based on movement (eg, direction and size) of input 612 on list 604. Scroll through items 608 in 604. Specifically, list 604 is scrolled down (eg, item 608 moves upward in list 604 ).

6B shows a scrolled list 604 and a scroll bar 614 displayed in response to input 612 and representing the scrolled position of list 604 . In some embodiments, scroll bar 614 is displayed in response to a scroll command, persists for a period of time after the scroll command, and disappears if no additional scroll commands are received during that period. In FIG. 6B , item 608-1 remains selected, and preview window 606 retains display of preview content 607-1.

In FIG. 6B , electronic device 600 detects input 616 (eg, a single input tap gesture) on item 608-4. In response, as shown in FIG. 6C , electronic device 600 selects item 608-4 and displays the contents 607-4 of item 608-4 without scrolling through list 604. Updates the preview window 606 to display.

In FIG. 6C , the electronic device 600 detects an input 618 corresponding to a scroll command. In response, the electronic device 600 scrolls the list 604 as shown in FIG. 6D. Specifically, input 618 includes moving down (eg, swiping downward) and list 604 is scrolled up (eg, item 608 moves down in list 604 ).

In FIG. 6D , list 604 has a scrolled position in response to input 618 . Electronic device 600 detects input 620 (eg, a two-input tap gesture) on item 608-2 and, in response, switches to edit mode as shown in FIG. 6E. In some embodiments, electronic device 600 includes a timing threshold for recognizing input 618 as a gesture to enter edit mode. In some embodiments, the threshold is a non-zero amount of time greater than the threshold amount of time for detecting a different touch gesture (eg, a swipe). A higher threshold differentiates the command to enter edit mode from a command in which the user uses two fingers to scroll the user interface.

6E depicts user interface 602 after switching to edit mode in response to input 620 . Header area 605 is replaced with status area 626 which includes replacing edit affordance 603 with cancel affordance 624 to exit edit mode. When in edit mode, user interface 602 further adds action affordances 628-1, 628-2, and 628-3, each corresponding to an action to be performed on selected items in list 604. include For example, action affordance 628-1 corresponds to an action for marking selected items, action affordance 628-2 corresponds to an action for moving selected items, and action affordance 628-3 corresponds to an action for moving selected items. Corresponds to an action for deleting selected items.

Additionally, a status area 626 is displayed that provides an indication of the number of items selected in the list 604, and the preview window 606 indicates that the preview window 606 corresponds to the items 608 selected in the edit mode. Shading 630 is included to indicate that we are not displaying the corresponding preview content. In some embodiments, shading 630 has a translucent appearance over the previously displayed preview content at the time edit mode is entered.

Upon entering edit mode, the electronic device 600 also updates items 608 to display selection indicator affordances 622 . Displaying selection indicator affordances 622 provides an indication that user interface 602 is in edit mode. Additionally, each of the individual selection indicator affordances provides an indication of the selected state of the item for which the selection indicator affordance is to be displayed. Accordingly, each item 608 is selected or deselected by changing the state of its respective selection indicator affordance 622 . For example, when entering edit mode in response to input 620 on item 608-2, electronic device 600 includes selection indicator affordance 622-2 on item 608-2. Display selection indicator affordances 622, with selection indicator affordance 622-2 having a selected state indicating that item 608-2 is selected upon entering edit mode (e.g., selection indicator affordance ( 622-2) includes a check mark to indicate a selected state).

Selection indicator affordances 622 typically alternate between a selected and unselected (or deselected) state in response to detected inputs. For example, in some embodiments, if the selection indicator affordance has a selected state, an input that changes the selected state of the selection indicator affordance causes the electronic device to move the selection indicator affordance to an unselected or deselected state. will change to Alternatively, if the selection indicator affordance has an unselected state, an input that changes the selected state of the selection indicator affordance will cause the electronic device to change the selection indicator affordance to the selected state. However, in some embodiments, when the received input corresponds to a command to transition the selection indicator affordance to the current/existing state of the selection indicator affordance, the selection indicator affordance does not change states in response to the input. For example, if a selection indicator affordance is currently already selected and a “select all” command is received (see, eg, FIGS. 8M and 8N ), then the selection indicator affordance is moved to the selected state rather than switching to the unselected state. maintain. Similarly, if the selection indicator affordance currently has an unselected state, the command to transition the selection indicator affordance to the unselected state (eg, see FIG. 8J ) changes the state of the selection indicator affordance to the selected state. I never do that. Rather, the selection indicator affordance remains unselected.

Referring now to FIG. 6E , user interface 602 shows item 608-6 including selection indicator affordance 622-6 having an unselected state (e.g., selection indicator affordance 622-6 ) does not include checkmarks). Electronic device 600 detects input 632 on item 608-6. Specifically, input 632 is a single input gesture (eg, a tap gesture) located on a portion of item 608-6 other than selection indicator affordance 622-6. In response, as shown in FIG. 6F , electronic device 600 changes the selection state of item 608-6 to a selected state, updates selection indicator affordance 622-6 to indicate selection, and , updates the status area 626 to indicate that two items (eg, 608-2 and 608-6) are selected.

In FIG. 6F , electronic device 600 detects input 634 (eg, a single input tap gesture) on selection indicator affordance 622-5 of item 608-5, and in response, returns to FIG. 6G. As shown, it changes the selected state of item 608-5 to the selected state, updates the selection indicator affordance 622-5 to the selected state, and sets three items (e.g., 608-2, 608-5) to the selected state. 5 and 608-6) to update status area 626.

In FIG. 6G , electronic device 600 detects input 636 on selection indicator affordance 622-4 of item 608-4. Specifically, input 636 is a two-input gesture (eg, a two-input tap gesture) placed on item 608-4. In response, as shown in FIG. 6H , electronic device 600 changes the selected state of item 608-4 to a selected state, updates selection indicator affordance 622-4 to the selected state, and Status area 626 is updated to indicate that four items (eg, 608-2, 608-4, 608-5, and 608-6) are selected.

6E-6H show that individual items 608 can be selected in edit mode in a variety of ways. For example, individual items may be selected via a single input or two-input tap gesture on each item, or by selection of a selection indicator affordance of each item. Additionally, when the user interface is not in edit mode, a two-entry tap gesture on each item causes the user interface to enter edit mode and select the item on which the two-entry tap gesture is placed.

It should be noted that the electronic device has different responses to detected inputs depending on whether the user interface is operating in an editing mode or a non-editing mode. For example, items selected in edit mode are selected without any action being automatically performed on the selected item (other than visually indicating that the item is selected). Conversely, when the user interface is not in edit mode, selected items have actions that are automatically performed for each item. For example, a preview of the contents of the selected item is displayed in the preview window 606 . As another example, while multiple items can be selected simultaneously in edit mode, only one item can be selected at a single time when the user interface will not be in edit mode. As further examples, certain gestures in non-editing mode cause electronic device 600 to scroll through list 604, while such gestures cause electronic device 600 to scroll through items 608 while in edit mode. can make you choose. Details of such gestures are provided in more detail below.

Referring now to FIG. 6H , the electronic device 600 detects an input 638 on the list 604 (eg, a single input swipe gesture) at a location on the items other than the location of the selection indicator affordances. In response, as shown in FIG. 6I , the electronic device 600 remains selected with additional items (previously selected items 608-2, 608-4, 608-5, and 608-6) selected. ) to scroll through the list 604. In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 6I , state area 626 collapses in response to an upward movement of input 638 .

In FIG. 6I , electronic device 600 inputs 640 (e.g., a swipe gesture) on selection indicator affordances 622-7 through 622-9 of respective items 608-7 through 608-9. detect In response, as shown in FIG. 6J , electronic device 600 selects items 608-7 through 608-9, and status area 626 indicates that seven items 608 are selected. is updated to

As discussed above, selection indicator affordances may alternate states in response to various gestures. Thus, a gesture on a selection indicator affordance may select or deselect one or more selection indicator affordances depending on the current state of the selection indicator affordance. For example, in FIG. 6I , input 640 causes selection indicator affordances 622-7 through 622-9 to transition from an unselected state to a selected state (thereby e.g. corresponding items ( 608-7 to 608-9)). However, if selection indicator affordances 622-7 through 622-9 were selected prior to detecting input 640, electronic device 600 selects selection indicator affordances 622-7 through 622-9. (thereby deselecting, for example, corresponding items 608-7 to 608-9). This change in states will apply even if the gesture for changing states is a different gesture. For example, FIGS. 6K and 6L illustrate an embodiment in which selected indicator affordances are deselected in response to input 642 on items 608-4 through 608-6.

As shown in FIG. 6K , input 642 is a two-input gesture (eg, two-input swipe; two-input drag) with movement across items 608-6 through 608-4 ( eg, input is not required to be on each of select indicator affordances 622-6 through 622-4). In response, as shown in FIG. 6L, electronic device 600 deselects items 608-6, 608-5, and 608-4. In some embodiments, the electronic device 600 performs a portion of a gesture where the two-input gesture is stopped for a threshold period of time (eg, a two-input tap and hold), followed by movement of the two inputs across the respective items ( Selects or deselects items 608 when including the second part of the gesture, which includes, for example, a drag of two inputs. In some embodiments, the electronic device 600 performs a two-input gesture if the two-input gesture does not include a first portion that is suspended for a threshold period of time (eg, if the two-input gesture is a two-finger swipe gesture). Scrolls the list 604 in response to the gesture.

In FIG. 6L , status area 626 indicates that four items 608 (eg, items 608-2, and 608-7 through 608-9) are selected, and electronic device 600 takes action. Detect input 644 (eg, single input gesture; tap) on affordance 628-3. In response to this, the electronic device 600 terminates the editing mode while performing a delete action on the selected items and not taking any action on the unselected items.

6M shows electronic device 600 displaying user interface 602 in non-editing mode and having items 608-2, 608-7 through 608-9 deleted from list 604. Accordingly, items 608 no longer include selection indicator affordances 622 and shade 630 is no longer displayed on preview window 606 . Additionally, status area 626 is not displayed, action affordances 628-1 through 628-3 are no longer displayed, and cancel affordance 624 is replaced with edit affordance 603.

In FIG. 6M , electronic device 600 detects input 646 (eg, a two-input tap gesture) on item 608-1 and, in response, re-enters edit mode, as shown in FIG. 6N . and select item 608-1 (showing selection indicator affordance 622-1 having a selected state).

In FIG. 6O , electronic device 600 inputs 648 (e.g., 1-input) on successive selection indicator affordances 622-3 through 622-6 of each of items 608-3 through 608-6. swipe gesture). Selection indicator affordances 622-3 through 622-6 are then shown selected in FIG. 6P, and status area 626 is updated to indicate five items are selected.

In FIG. 6P , electronic device 600 detects input 650 (eg, a two-input tap gesture) on item 608-6 and selects item 608-6, as shown in FIG. 6Q. Deselect (e.g., selection indicator affordance 622-6 is deselected). Status area 626 is updated in FIG. 6Q to indicate that four items are selected.

In FIG. 6Q, electronic device 600 detects input 652 (eg, a one-input swipe gesture) on selection indicator affordances 622-5 through 622-3, which then Deselected as bar. Status area 626 is updated in FIG. 6R to indicate that one item is selected.

In some embodiments, electronic device 600, upon entry into edit mode, allows the originally selected item (e.g., a two-input tap gesture to enter edit mode (e.g., input 646 in FIG. 6M) to be non-edited. In response to deselecting an item detected in the mode), the edit mode is exited. Accordingly, as shown in FIGS. 6R and 6S , electronic device 600 detects input 654 (eg, a single input tap gesture) on item 608-1. In response to detecting input 654, the electronic device deselects item 608-1 and exits edit mode as shown in FIG. 6S. An input for deselecting a selected item upon entering an edit mode (eg, 608-1) may be an input other than a single input gesture, as long as it is an input for deselecting each item. For example, the input (eg, input 654) may alternatively be a two-input tap gesture or deselection of selection indicator affordance 622-1. In some embodiments, the electronic device 600, upon entering edit mode (eg, 608-1), even if other items in the list are selected at the time each item (eg, 608-1) is deselected. When the selected item is deselected, the edit mode is terminated.

7 is a flow diagram illustrating a method for selecting and scrolling items using an electronic device in accordance with some embodiments. Method 700 is performed on a device (eg, 100, 300, 500, 600) having a display and a touch-sensitive surface (eg, 112). Some actions of method 700 are optionally combined, the order of some actions is optionally changed, and some actions are optionally omitted.

As described below, method 700 provides an intuitive way to selectively enter edit mode and edit items in edit mode. The method reduces the user's cognitive burden on editing items, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to enter edit mode and edit items more quickly and efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.

An electronic device (eg 600 ) having a display (eg 601 ) and a touch-sensitive surface (eg 601 ) (eg 112 ) displays a plurality of items 608 (eg eg messages) via the display. (eg, e-mails, text messages), graphical objects such as pictures, files, etc.) is displayed (702). In some embodiments, multiple items are presented in a scrollable user interface, such as list 604 for example.

The user interface is in a first mode of operation (e.g., items are not selectable and certain edit functions (e.g., 628-1, 628-2, 628-3) (e.g., copy, delete, forward, archive, move, duplicate, etc.) ) is not enabled (normal or non-editing mode), the electronic device corresponds to a first item (eg, 608-4) (eg, 608-2) of the plurality of items (eg, 608). Each number of contacts (eg, input 616 includes one contact on the touch-sensitive surface) on a user interface (eg, 602) at a location (eg, input 620 includes 2 contacts on the touch-sensitive surface). A first input (e.g., 616) (e.g., a 1-input tap gesture) (e.g., 620) (e.g., a 2-input tap gesture, an input that includes two simultaneous tap gestures) Detect 704 (eg, the first input is detected at a location on the display and/or touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to a location of one of the items).

In response to detecting 706 a first user input: a fixed input (eg, 616/620) having a first number of contacts (eg, 616) (eg, a single finger tap input) , an input that does not move across the display and/or touch-sensitive surface), the electronic device may perform an action associated with the first item (eg, 608-4) (eg, opening the item, displaying the contents of the item). view, or perform an editing function on the item) at 708 (e.g., in FIG. 6C, item 608-4 is selected and preview window 604-4 displays item 608-4). to display a preview of the contents of).

In response to detecting a first user input (706): the first input (eg, 620) is a fixed input (eg, having a second number of contacts different from the first number of contacts (eg, a two-finger tap gesture)). Upon a determination that eg, 620 is a two-input gesture, the electronic device does not perform an action associated with the first item (eg, 608-2) (and optionally in edit mode for a future operation) the first item. without selecting) the user interface (e.g., 602) from a first mode of operation to a second mode of operation (e.g., items are selectable and specific editing functions for performing functions on the selected items (e.g., 628- 1, 628-2, 628-3) are switched to the edit mode) (710). For example, in FIG. 6E , user interface 602 switches to edit mode, but preview window 606 still displays the contents of item 608-4, which does not do anything for item 608-2. Indicates that no action (eg, preview content) has been performed. In some embodiments, items (eg, 608) are selectable when the second mode is enabled (eg, simultaneous or sequential selection of multiple items). In some embodiments, items are individually configured without automatically performing an action on a visually modified item, such as opening the item, viewing the contents of the item, or performing an edit function on the item. When it can be visually modified, it is considered selectable. For example, when an item is highlighted, the item is selected, or some other visual indicator is displayed for the item (eg, selection indicator affordances 622 are selected), but no action is automatically performed on the item. . In some embodiments, the selected item(s) (e.g., 608-2 of FIG. 6E) deselects (does not select) the item(s) (e.g., see FIG. 6K), exits edit mode. until an action is initiated (e.g., by subsequent user input) on the item(s), such as editing, or performing an edit function on the selected item(s) (see, eg, FIGS. 6L and 6M ). It remains selected (eg, visually modified). In some embodiments, when items are not selected (no action is performed on the item), the item returns to its visual state before being visually modified. In some embodiments, items may be toggled between a selected and unselected state (unselected state) by displaying a selection indicator affordance (e.g., 622) that may indicate the selected and unselected state of the item. marked as selectable. When the first input is a fixed input having a second number of contacts different from the first number of contacts, switching the user interface from the first mode of operation to the second mode of operation without performing an action associated with the first item comprises: Allows a user to quickly and easily switch from a first mode to a second mode without having to select a series of user interface objects, reducing the number of inputs required to switch modes. Additionally, it provides the user with additional control options (eg, to switch to the second mode) without the need to complicate the user interface with additional displayed controls. These benefits improve the operability of the device and make the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user provide appropriate inputs when operating/interacting with the device and reducing user errors); This additionally reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

In some embodiments, switching the user interface (e.g., 602) from a first mode of operation to a second mode of operation without performing an action associated with the first item is a first of a plurality of items (e.g., 608). Further includes selecting an item (eg, see selection of item 608-2 in FIG. 6E). Automatically selecting the first item when switching from the first mode to the second mode means that the user can simultaneously select the first item while entering the second mode, without having to select a series of user interface objects to make the selection. and thus reducing the number of inputs required to select an item in the second mode. Additionally, it provides the user with additional control options (eg, to select an item while entering the second mode) without the need to complicate the user interface with additional displayed controls. These benefits improve the operability of the device and make the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user provide appropriate inputs when operating/interacting with the device and reducing user errors); This additionally reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

In some embodiments, while the electronic device is in the second mode of operation, the electronic device detects a third input (eg, 654) corresponding to a request to deselect the selected first item (eg, the item in FIG. 6R ). See Deselection of (608-1)). In some embodiments, in response to detecting the third input, the electronic device deselects the selected first item (eg, 608-1) (eg, deselects the first item from the selected state (not selected) state), and switches the user interface (eg, 602) from the second mode of operation to the first mode of operation (eg, see FIGS. 6R and 6S). In some embodiments, the third input (eg, 654) is a selection user interface object indicating that the first item is selected (eg, a selection indicator affordance (eg, selection indication) associated with (eg, specifically associated with) the first item. is a fixed input detected at a location corresponding to affordance 622- 1. In some embodiments, the third input is on each item (e.g., item 608-1 as shown in Figure 6R). A detected fixed input (e.g., a single input gesture, such as input 654, or a two-input gesture, such as input 650) Deselects the selected first item, while in the second mode, the first item Switching the user interface from the second mode to the first mode in response to detecting an input corresponding to a request to deselect is quick and easy from the second mode back to the first mode without requiring the user to select a series of user interface objects. and enable easy switching, reducing the number of inputs required to return to the first mode. Additionally, this eliminates the need to complicate the user interface with additional displayed controls (e.g., from the second mode to the first mode). mode) of the device (e.g., by helping the user provide appropriate inputs when operating/interacting with the device and reducing user errors). Improves operability and makes the user-device interface more efficient, which additionally reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

In some embodiments, switching the user interface from the first mode of operation to the second mode of operation may result in, for each item of the plurality of items (e.g., 608), a selection user interface object representing the selection state of the item ( e.g., 622) (e.g., selection indicator affordance); (e.g., updating each item to include a selection indicator affordance indicating the selected state (selected/unselected) of each item); being). For example, in FIG. 6E , selection indicator affordances 622 are displayed when switching to edit mode. This provides a visual indication to the user that the user interface (eg, 602) has switched from the first mode of operation to the second mode of operation. Providing improved visual feedback to the user improves the operability of the device (eg, by helping the user provide appropriate inputs when operating/interacting with the device and reducing user mistakes) and improving the user-device interface. more efficient, which additionally reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

In some embodiments, the electronic device provides a fourth input (eg, including a first number of contacts (eg, one contact) at a location corresponding to the selected user interface object (eg, 622-7) (eg, affordance). For example, 640) (eg, a single input drag gesture, a drag gesture using one finger) is detected. In some embodiments, a plurality of items in response to detecting a fourth input (eg, 640) and associated with a subset of the plurality of items (eg, items 608-7 through 608-9). Upon a determination that the selection of the user interface objects (eg, selection indicator affordances 622-7 through 622-9) includes movement of the first number of contacts, the electronic device provides a subset of the plurality of items. select (or deselect, for example). In some embodiments, selecting (or deselecting) a subset of the plurality of items may result in a plurality of selection user interface objects associated with the subset of the plurality of items without performing an action associated with the subset of the plurality of items. (eg, changing selection indicator affordances from unselected to selected or from unselected to selected) (eg, see FIG. 6J ). Selecting a subset of items when the fourth input involves moving the first number of contacts across a plurality of select user interface objects associated with the plurality of items does not require the user to select a series of user interface objects. Allows quick and easy selection of multiple items in the second mode, reducing the number of inputs required to select items in the second mode. Additionally, it provides additional control options to the user (eg, for selecting items in the second mode) without the need to complicate the user interface with additional displayed controls. These benefits improve the operability of the device and make the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user provide appropriate inputs when operating/interacting with the device and reducing user errors); This additionally reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

In some embodiments, after switching the user interface from the first mode of operation to the second mode of operation, the electronic device displays a plurality of items (eg, 608) from a location corresponding to the first item (eg, 608-6). A movement of the first input (eg, 642) to a position corresponding to the third item (eg, 608-4) is detected. In some embodiments, movement of the first input from the first item to the third item includes movement across one or more items (eg, 608-5) located between the first item and the third item. . In some embodiments, in response to detecting movement of the first input from a location corresponding to the first item to a location corresponding to a third item of the plurality of items: causing the first set of criteria to be met. A first input satisfies a first set of criteria including a requirement that the second number of contacts be stationary for a predetermined amount of time (e.g., a non-zero threshold amount of time) before moving to a position corresponding to the third item. Upon determining to do so, the electronic device selects (or deselects) the third item (eg, 608-4) (eg, without performing an action associated with the third item). In some embodiments, when the first input moves from the first item to the third item, the first and third items are separated by a plurality of items of the plurality of items and the items between the first and third items are It is selected (or deselected) (eg, when the first input moves over each item, the item is selected). For example, in Figure 6K, input 642 is detected at item 608-6 and moves across item 608-5 to item 608-4. If items 608-4 through 608-6 are selected, and thus input 642 meets the first set of criteria, as shown in FIG. 6K, then times 608-4 through 608-6 are Change states (eg deselected). Selecting a third item when the first input includes a second number of contacts that are stationary for a predetermined amount of time before moving to the third item causes the contacts to move without requiring the user to select a series of user interface objects. Allowing a single gesture to selectively scroll or select multiple items by simply controlling whether it is paused for a threshold amount of time before reducing the number of inputs required to selectively select or scroll items in the second mode. Additionally, it provides additional control options to the user without the need to complicate the user interface with additional displayed controls. These benefits improve the operability of the device and make the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user provide appropriate inputs when operating/interacting with the device and reducing user errors); This additionally reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

In some embodiments, in response to detecting movement of a first input (eg, 642) from a position corresponding to a first item to a position corresponding to a third item of the plurality of items: Upon determining that one set of criteria is not met (eg, the second number of contacts are not stopped for a predetermined amount of time), the electronic device scrolls through a plurality of items (eg, the direction of movement of the first input and scroll based on size). Scrolling through a plurality of items when a first input does not meet a first set of criteria is achieved by simply controlling whether contacts are frozen for a threshold amount of time before moving, without requiring the user to select a series of user interface objects. Allowing gestures to selectively scroll or select multiple items, reducing the number of inputs required to selectively select or scroll items in the second mode. Additionally, it provides additional control options to the user without the need to complicate the user interface with additional displayed controls. These benefits improve the operability of the device and make the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user provide appropriate inputs when operating/interacting with the device and reducing user errors); This additionally reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

While the electronic device (eg, 600) is in the second operating mode, the electronic device displays a display (eg, 608-6 or 608-5) corresponding to a second item (eg, 608-6 or 608-5) of the plurality of items (eg, 608). 601) a second input (e.g., 632 or 634) comprising a first number of contacts (e.g., one contact on the touch-sensitive surface) at a location on (e.g., on the display and/or on the touch-sensitive surface) Detect (eg, a single input tap gesture) (eg, an input comprising a single tap gesture) (712). In some embodiments, a location on the display (e.g., 601) corresponding to a second item in the plurality of items is a selection indication corresponding to a select user interface object (e.g., item 608-5) associated with the second item. This is the location of the affordance (622-5).

In response to detecting the second input, the electronic device selects 714 (eg, opening the item) the second item (eg, 608-6 or 608-5) without performing an action associated with the second item. Indicate the selection of each item by visually modifying the item or part of the item without automatically performing an action on the item, such as viewing the item's content, or performing an edit function on the item (e.g. , 622-5 is selected for item (608-5)). For example, in Figures 6F and 6G, item 608-5 is selected in response to input 634 on selection indicator affordance 622-5. Selecting a second item in response to a second input, without performing an action associated with the second item, allows the user to quickly and easily select multiple items in the second mode without having to select a series of user interface objects. to reduce the number of inputs required to select items in the second mode. Additionally, it provides additional control options to the user (eg, for selecting items in the second mode) without the need to complicate the user interface with additional displayed controls. These benefits improve the operability of the device and make the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user provide appropriate inputs when operating/interacting with the device and reducing user errors); This additionally reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

In some embodiments, while the user interface is in the second mode of operation and while the first and second items are selected and the fourth item is not selected (e.g., in FIG. 6L, items 608-7 and 608- 8) is selected and item 608-6 is not selected), the electronic device takes an action (eg, input 644 on action affordance 628-3) selected among the plurality of items. Detect requests to open an item, view its contents, or perform editing functions on an item (eg, copy, drag/move, delete, forward, archive, duplicate, etc.). In some embodiments, in response to detecting the request, the electronic device performs an action on first and second items of the plurality of items (e.g., a second item) without performing an action on the fourth item. perform actions on items 1 and 2 simultaneously). For example, as shown in FIGS. 6L and 6M, items 608-7 and 608-8 are deleted, and item 608-6 is not.

In some embodiments, while the user interface is in the second mode of operation, the electronic device is on (eg, display and/or touch-sensitive) a display corresponding to a fifth of the plurality of items (eg, 608-4). A fifth input (eg, 636) comprising a second number of contacts (eg, 2 contacts) at a location (eg, on a surface) (eg, a two-input tap gesture) (eg, including two simultaneous tap gestures). input) is detected. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the fifth input, the electronic device selects the fifth item without performing an action associated with the fifth item (e.g., in FIG. 6H, item 608-4 is is selected).

In some embodiments, the electronic device (eg, 600) moves the first number of contacts (eg, a drag gesture) (eg, while the user interface is in the first mode of operation or the second mode of operation) (eg, 1 A sixth input (eg, 638 or 612) including a finger dragging gesture is detected. In some embodiments, in response to detecting the sixth input: that the user interface (eg, 602) is in a first mode of operation and movement of the first number of contacts begins at a position on the plurality of items (eg, Upon determining (eg, any position on the plurality of items) input 612 is detected on items 608 in FIG. 6A , the electronic device may, based on movement of the first number of contacts (eg, move Scroll multiple items (eg, see FIG. 6B ) based on the direction and/or size of . In some embodiments, in response to detecting the sixth input: the user interface (eg, 602) is in a second mode of operation and movement of the first number of contacts corresponds to a selection user interface object (eg, selection affordance). Upon a determination that starting at a location on a plurality of items other than a location (e.g., in FIG. 6H, input 638 is detected on items 608 at a location other than selection indicator affordances 622): The electronic device scrolls through a plurality of items (eg, 608) based on movement of the first number of contacts (eg, based on a direction and/or magnitude of movement) (eg, see FIG. 6I). In some embodiments, when the user interface is in the first mode of operation, the sixth input causes the plurality of items to scroll when the sixth input is detected anywhere on (eg, initiated) the plurality of items. In some embodiments, when the user interface is in the second mode of operation, the sixth input is the plurality of items if the sixth input is detected at a position on the plurality of items other than the position of the selection affordance (eg, started). cause them to scroll; Otherwise, if the sixth input starts at the position of the selection affordance, the sixth input selects / selects items corresponding to the selection affordances touched by the sixth input (eg, as shown in FIGS. 6I and 6J). cause deselection.

It is noted that details of the processes described above with respect to method 700 (eg, FIG. 7 ) are also applicable in a similar manner to the methods described below. For example, methods 900 and 1100 optionally include one or more of the features of the various methods described above with respect to method 700. For example, when entering the edit mode, the edit mode may be ended by deselecting a selected item. For brevity, these details are not repeated below.

8A-8R illustrate example user interfaces for scrolling and selecting items in accordance with some embodiments, including scrolling to select items. The user interfaces in these figures are used to illustrate the processes described below, including those of FIG. 9 .

As shown in FIG. 8A, list 604 includes items 608, and preview window 606 displays preview content 607-1 of selected item 608-1. Electronic device 600 detects input 802 (eg, a two-input tap gesture) on item 608-4. In response, electronic device 600, as shown in FIG. 8B , including displaying selected selection indicator affordance 622-4 to indicate selection of item 608-4 in edit mode. Switch the user interface 602 to edit mode.

In FIG. 8C , electronic device 600 detects input 804 (eg, a single input tap gesture) on selection indicator affordance 622-5 to select item 608-5.

8D-8G illustrate an exemplary embodiment in which an electronic device 600 performs automatic scrolling and selection of multiple items 608 in response to a single input (eg, 806) held on a display 601. foreshadow In some embodiments, the automatic scrolling and selection behavior described below is triggered based on where an input (eg, 806) is detected. For example, in some embodiments, automatic scrolling and selection occurs when input is detected on the selection affordance of an item that is the last displayed item in the list (eg, the fully displayed item). In some embodiments, automatic scrolling and selection occurs when input is detected within an area near the edge of display 601 . Automatic scroll and select behavior reduces the number of inputs required to perform a scroll and select action, thereby helping the user to provide appropriate inputs (e.g., when operating/interacting with the device and reducing user mistakes) improving the operability of the electronic device and making the user-device interface more efficient, which additionally reduces the power usage of the device and improves battery life by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently .

In FIG. 8D , electronic device 600 selects item 608-6 by detecting input 806 (eg, a single input tap and hold gesture) on selection indicator affordance 622-6. Item 608-6 is the last displayed item in list 604 (eg, the last item fully displayed on screen in list 604). The electronic device 600 continuously detects input 806, which is a fixed input maintained for a period of time. When the input 806 is held for longer than a threshold period (eg, a threshold greater than zero) (eg, a threshold greater than the amount of time to detect a tap input), the electronic device 600 triggers any further input from the user. automatically starts scrolling through items 608 without detecting . This scrolling behavior is illustrated in Figures 8e and 8f. Scrolling continues as long as input 806 is detected (or, in some embodiments, until the end of the scrollable list is reached).

In addition to scrolling through the items 608 for the duration of the input 806, the electronic device 600 selects each newly displayed item as it scrolls up to the position of the input 806 in the list. For example, in Figure 8D, item 608-7 is displayed partially off-screen, with selection indicator affordance 622-7 unselected. As the input 806 is held, the electronic device 600 scrolls up the item 608-7 in the list 604, and its displayed position is the position of the input 806, as shown in FIG. 8E. When reaching , select the selection indicator affordance 622-7. As a result of the scrolling, item 608-8 is displayed partially off-screen, with selection indicator affordance 622-8 unselected.

As shown in FIG. 8F , automatic scrolling and selection continues while input 806 is held (e.g., via selection of selection indicator affordances 622-8 and 622-9) to items 608. -8, and 608-9), and results in partial display of item 608-10, with selection indicator affordance 622-10 having an unselected state.

In FIG. 8G , the electronic device 600 detects the end of the input 806 and, in response, ends the automatic scrolling and selection behavior.

8G to 8J show a scroll command for the electronic device 600 to select/deselect a first item and then change subsequent items while holding an input that changes the selected state of the first item (in some embodiments, scroll command is received prior to input to select/deselect the first item), thereby illustrating an embodiment of changing the selected state of multiple items. In some embodiments, the created selection state of subsequent items is determined based on the selection state of the first item that was changed. For example, if the first item changes from selected to unselected state, subsequent items transition to unselected state (or deselected/unselected if they are already in a deselected/unselected state). remains unchecked). Conversely, when the first item changes from unselected to selected, subsequent items transition to the selected state (or remain selected if they are already in the selected state).

In FIG. 8G , electronic device 600 detects and responds to input 808 (eg, a single input touch and hold gesture) located at selection indicator affordance 622-6 of item 608-6. , deselect item 608-6, as shown in FIG. 8H. The electronic device continues to detect input 808 and then detects input 810 which is a scroll command (eg, a single input scroll gesture).

In response to input 810, electronic device 600 scrolls through list 604 and deselects items (eg, items 608-5 and 608-4), which items display 601 ) because it scrolls down the input 808 held on. As item 608-6 changes from a selected state to an unselected state in response to input 808, items touching input 808 (while scrolling) transition to a deselected state (or, If the item is already deselected, it remains deselected (eg, see FIG. 8J ). As shown in FIGS. 8H and 8I , selection indicator affordances 622-4 and 622-5 scroll down input 808 and input 808 where they remain stationary on display 601. As it intersects with the position of , it is deselected.

In FIG. 8J , the electronic device 600 no longer detects input 810 (eg, a scroll command), but the list of items continues to scroll inertia in response to input 810 . As items in the list continue to scroll and intersect input 808, items are deselected. Again, items are deselected because the state change of the first changed item was unselected (e.g., item 608-6 was deselected in response to input 808 in FIG. 8G). . As shown in FIG. 8J, selection indicator affordance 622-3 of item 608-3 scrolls under input 808 without changing selection states. This is because the selection indicator affordance 622-3 is already in a deselected state. Thus, selection indicator affordance 622-3 remains deselected rather than changing its selected states.

In some embodiments, the scroll command (eg, 810) may be detected prior to the first selection input (eg, 808). For example, input is received to scroll through a list, the device then detects the selection input, and as items scroll under the selection input, they change selection states while the selection input remains on the display.

In some embodiments, the scroll command (eg, 810) can include a series of scroll commands, such that a list of items scrolls at an accelerated pace, while input 808 scrolls down the input (eg, 808). It remains on the display 601 to select or deselect scrolling items.

The scroll and select/deselect operations illustrated in FIGS. 8G-8J allow the user to select a large number of items in a list accurately within a short amount of time and using a short series of inputs that cannot be achieved with swipes or other selection methods. to select/deselect them. For example, the Select All command does not allow for the precision of the scrolling and select/deselect operations described above because the Select All command does not allow the user to specify which items should be selected/deselected. . A swipe command cannot be executed to select multiple items as quickly as a scroll command, because while a swipe gesture is limited by the length of the displayed list of items, scrolling with select/deselect moves the list of items ( For example, at a rate faster than the user can swipe). Thus, the aforementioned scrolling with select/deselect allows faster and more precise selection/deselection of items than other methods. Also, because scrolling by a select/deselect operation uses fewer gestures than other such operations, the technique described above reduces the number of inputs required to select large lists of items, thereby reducing computational resources and conserves battery power.

8K and 8O illustrate an embodiment for selecting an intervening set of items 608 from a list 604 . In this embodiment, the electronic device 600 detects a tap input on a first item to select a first item, then a tap-and-hold input on a second item, and 1) all items in the list. and 2) options for selecting the second item and items between the first and second items (eg, intervening items). In some embodiments, the steps below may be performed in a similar fashion to deselect an intervening set of items (or to deselect all items).

In FIG. 8K , electronic device 600 detects input 812 (eg, a single input tap gesture) on item 608-3 and, in response, sends item 608-3 as shown in FIG. 8L. Choose

In FIG. 8L , electronic device 600 detects input 814 (eg, a single input tap-and-hold gesture) on item 608-6. Input 814 is a tap-and-hold input. When the electronic device 600 detects that the input 814 is held longer than a threshold amount of time (eg, a non-zero threshold greater than an amount of time to detect a tap input), the electronic device 600 ) displays an options interface 816 for selecting items as shown in FIG. 8M.

As shown in FIG. 8M , options interface 816 has a first portion corresponding to the option to select all items 608 in list 604, a “select all” affordance 816-1, and an item 608-6 and a second corresponding to an option for selecting intervening items (e.g., items 608-4 and 608-5) between the item 608-6 and the selected item 608-3. part, "choice three" affordance 816-2. In addition to displaying options interface 816, electronic device 600 indicates that corresponding items 608-4 through 608-6 are selected when “select three” affordance 816-2 is selected. For this purpose, selection indicator affordances 622-4 to 622-6 having a shading effect are displayed.

In FIG. 8N , the electronic device 600 detects input 818 (eg, a single input tap gesture) on the “select three” affordance 816-2, and in response, as shown in FIG. 8O, Selecting items 608-4 through 608-6 changes selection indicator affordances 622-4 through 622-6 from a shaded state to a selected state. As a result, seven items 608 in list 604 are selected, as indicated by status area 626 .

In FIG. 8P , electronic device 600 detects swipe gesture 820 on selection indicator affordances 622-5 through 622-3, and in response, items 608 as shown in FIG. 8Q. -5 to 608-3) are deselected.

In FIG. 8Q , electronic device 600 detects input 822 on cancel affordance 624 and, in response, exits edit mode as shown in FIG. 8R .

9 is a flow diagram illustrating a method for selecting and scrolling items using an electronic device in accordance with some embodiments. Method 900 is performed on a device having a display and a touch-sensitive surface (eg, 100, 300, 500, 600). Some actions of method 900 are optionally combined, the order of some actions is optionally changed, and some actions are optionally omitted.

As described below, method 900 provides an intuitive way to select or deselect items while scrolling through items in a user interface. This method reduces the user's cognitive burden on selecting or deselecting items, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling users to select or deselect items faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.

An electronic device (eg 600 ) having a display (eg 601 ) and a touch-sensitive surface (eg 601 ) (eg 112 ) displays a plurality of items 608 (eg eg messages) via the display. (eg, a list of graphical objects such as e-mails, text messages), pictures, files, etc.) is displayed (902).

The electronic device receives a first input (eg, 808) (eg, touch input; touch-and-hold input; touch-and-hold input) at a location on the display corresponding to a first item (eg, 608-6) in the plurality of items. A drag input; a swipe gesture) is detected (904). In some embodiments, the first input is a fixed input. In some embodiments, the first input is an input with one point of contact on the display. In some embodiments, the electronic device detects that the user holds their finger on the select affordance (eg, 622-6). In some embodiments, the electronic device detects a touch-and-drag or swipe gesture initiated on a selection affordance.

In some embodiments, the first input is a static input (eg, the first input remains stationary during scrolling). In some embodiments, the content (eg, items 608) displayed on the display (eg, 601) moves relative to the location of the first input on the touch-sensitive surface. For example, the first input (eg, 808) is a continuous contact at a single point of contact on the touch-sensitive surface, the displayed list scrolls along the display (eg, under the contact on the display), and the contact of the first input is kept stationary (see, eg, FIGS. 8H to 8J ).

In response to detecting the first input (eg, 808) at a location on the display corresponding to the first item (eg, 608-6), the electronic device changes (906) the selection state of the first item (eg, 608-6). Deselection of item 608-6 (and selection indicator affordance 622-6) of FIGS. 8G and 8H (e.g., selecting a first item from an unselected state to a selected state, or from a selected state). changed to cleared (unchecked) state).

In some embodiments, changing the selected state of the first item (eg, 608-6) to a non-selected state of the first item upon a determination that the selected state of the first item is a selected state. changing, and upon determining that the selected state of the first item is an unselected state, changing the selected state of the first item to a selected state.

In some embodiments, prior to detecting the second input (eg, 810) and further in response to detecting the first input (eg, 808 or 806): determining that the first input is maintained for more than a predetermined period of time (e.g., maintained in the same location for a predetermined period of time) (e.g., maintained for more than a threshold amount of time to detect (e.g., classify; verify) a touch input of a first type (e.g., tap input; swipe gesture). ) (e.g., held for an amount of time required to classify a detected input as a specific gesture (e.g., a valid gesture)) and/or to exclude a detected input from being an invalid gesture (e.g., accidental contact, noise). held for the required amount of time) and the first item (eg, 608-6) is at the end (eg, top or bottom) of a plurality of items (eg, 608) displayed in the user interface (eg, see FIG. 8D). Upon determining that there is, the electronic device (e.g., 600) changes the selection state of the first item (e.g., automatically, without the need for additional user input) and then scrolls through the plurality of items (e.g., 608). For example, scrolling through a plurality of items while continuously detecting the first input) (eg, see FIGS. 8D to 8F). In some embodiments, when the first item is at the end of the displayed list of items, the electronic device automatically scrolls through the list of items after the first item is selected/deselected. Scrolling through the items after changing the selection state of the first item when the first input is on an item at the end of the displayed items and is held for a threshold amount of time is a list of items without the user having to select additional user interface objects. automatically scrolling, thereby reducing the number of inputs required to perform a scrolling operation. Additionally, it provides additional control options to the user without the need to complicate the user interface with additional displayed controls. These benefits improve the operability of the device and make the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user provide appropriate inputs when operating/interacting with the device and reducing user errors); This additionally reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

In some embodiments, scrolling through the plurality of items after changing the selection state of the first item may result in displaying one or more new items within the plurality (e.g., items 608-7 through 608-10). ) is displayed as scrolling items 608 in FIGS. 8D-8F (eg, displaying new items as the plurality of items are scrolled) and changing the selected state of one or more new items within the plurality (e.g., selecting or deselecting a plurality of items as they are scrolled while new items are displayed). In some embodiments, as the first input is held, the list of items is automatically scrolled to display new items, and new items are selected/deselected as they are displayed. Displaying new items and changing the selected state of new items while scrolling allows the user to automatically select items without having to select additional user interface objects to select or scroll to new items, thereby reducing the cost of selecting items. Reduce the number of required inputs. Additionally, it provides additional control options to the user without the need to complicate the user interface with additional displayed controls. These benefits improve the operability of the device and make the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user provide appropriate inputs when operating/interacting with the device and reducing user errors); This additionally reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

In some embodiments, after changing the selection state of the first item (and eg, while continuing to detect the first input (eg, 806)) while scrolling through the plurality of items: Upon determining that the last item in 608 is selected, the electronic device (eg, 600) stops scrolling through the plurality of items. In some embodiments, while scrolling through the plurality of items after changing the selected state of the first item: upon determining that the first input (eg, 806) is ending, the electronic device stops scrolling the plurality of items. do. In some embodiments, as the first input (eg, 806) is held, the list of items continues until the first input ends or the last item in the plurality of items (eg, the item at the end of the list of items). Continue scrolling until is selected.

After changing the selected state of the first item (eg, 608-6 of FIG. 8H), the electronic device receives a second input (eg, 810) is detected (908). In some embodiments, the second input corresponding to a request to scroll through the plurality of items is a touch input distinct from the first input (eg, a touch gesture distinct from the first input) (eg, a touch and drag gesture; the wipe gesture).

In response to detecting the second input (eg 810) (910): upon determining that the first input (eg 808) remains on the display (eg 601), the electronic device scrolls through the plurality of items. while changing the selected state of one or more items (eg, items 608-4 and 608-5 of FIG. 8I) (eg, one or more items that pass under the first input) (912). Changing the selected state of one or more items while scrolling when the first input is held on the display allows the user to quickly and easily select multiple items with few gestures and without having to select a series of user interface objects. and thus reducing the number of inputs required to select multiple items. Additionally, it provides additional control options to the user without the need to complicate the user interface with additional displayed controls. These benefits improve the operability of the device and make the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user provide appropriate inputs when operating/interacting with the device and reducing user errors); This additionally reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

In some embodiments, in response to detecting the second input (eg, 810): each one (or more than one) of the scroll items (eg, 608-3) displays a first item (eg, 608-6). ), the electronic device (eg, 600) suspends changing the selected state of each of the scroll items. For example, in FIG. 8H , item 608 - 6 is changed to an unselected state in response to input 808 . While items 608 scroll in response to input 810 of FIGS. 8H-8J , item 608 - 3 scrolls under input 808 . Since the item 608-3 has the same state (e.g., not selected) as the changed selection state of the item 608-6, the device 600 does not change the selection state of the item 608-3, Item 608-3 remains unselected as shown in FIG. 8J. Withholding changing the selected state of a scrolled item when it has the same state as the changed state of the first item allows the user to quickly scroll through the list of items without having to select additional user interface objects, so that all scrolled items are in the selected state. , which reduces the number of inputs required to set the selected state of items during scrolling. Additionally, it provides additional control options to the user without the need to complicate the user interface with additional displayed controls. These benefits improve the operability of the device and make the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user provide appropriate inputs when operating/interacting with the device and reducing user errors); This additionally reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

In some embodiments, after changing the selected state of one or more items while scrolling through the plurality of items, the electronic device provides a third input (eg, 814) (eg, a fixed input; eg, touch-and-hold input) (eg, item 608-6 is selected using input 814 in FIG. 8L). In some embodiments, a third item is a second item in the plurality of items (eg, items 608-4 and 608-5 in FIG. 8L) by one or more intervening items in the plurality of items. eg, item 608-3 of FIG. 8L).

In some embodiments, in response to detecting the third input (eg, 814) and upon determining that the third input meets the first set of criteria (eg, the third input is held for a threshold amount of time): The electronic device provides an intervening selection user interface object (e.g., 816-2 of 816) (e.g., a third item and one or more intervening items) that, when selected, changes the selection state of the third item and one or more intervening items in the plurality of items. affordances including options to select/deselect items (eg, select/deselect the third item and intervening items). In some embodiments, the intervening selection affordance is selected in response to detecting an input (eg, 818) (eg, a touch input; eg, a tap input) on the intervening selection affordance (eg, 816-2). In some embodiments, the intervening selection affordance displays a number corresponding to the number of items to be selected/deselected in response to selecting the intervening selection affordance. Displaying intervening selection user interface objects for changing the selection state of items and intervening items allows a user to quickly select intervening sections of items without having to select the items individually, thereby providing an opportunity to select a subset of items. Reduce the number of required inputs. Additionally, it provides additional control options to the user without the need to complicate the user interface with additional displayed controls. These benefits improve the operability of the device and make the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user provide appropriate inputs when operating/interacting with the device and reducing user errors); This additionally reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

In some embodiments, further in response to detecting a third input (eg, 814 ) and in accordance with a determination that the third input meets the first set of criteria, the electronic device provides a third item (eg, 814 ). 608-6) and for each of the one or more intervening items (eg, 608-4 and 608-5) (eg, not displaying on other items in the plurality of items), in a preselected state (eg, each Select user interface objects (e.g., 622-4; 622-5; 622-6) (e.g., select indicator affordance). In some embodiments, displaying selection indicator affordances with a preselected state is an indication of items to be selected in response to selection of an intervening selection affordance (e.g., within selection indicator affordances 622-4 through 622-6). shading) to the user.

In some embodiments, displaying an intervening selection user interface object (eg, 816), when selected, indicates the selection state of all items (eg, 608) in the plurality of items associated with the all-selection user interface object. displaying an all-selection user interface object (e.g., 816-1) (e.g., all-select all affordances; e.g., all-deselect all affordances) to set to a selected state (e.g., all items selected/unselected); state) is additionally included.

In response to detecting the second input (eg, 810) (910): upon determining that the first input is not held on the display, the electronic device does not change the selected state of one or more items in the plurality of items. A plurality of items (eg, 608) are scrolled (914). Scrolling through items without changing their selection state when the first input is not held on the display is accomplished by simply controlling whether items hold the first input on the display and without having to select a series of user interface objects: Allowing a user to selectively scroll through items with or without selecting them, reducing the number of inputs required to perform scrolling with selective item selection. Additionally, it provides additional control options to the user without the need to complicate the user interface with additional displayed controls. These benefits improve the operability of the device and make the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user provide appropriate inputs when operating/interacting with the device and reducing user errors); This additionally reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 900 (eg, FIG. 9 ) are also applicable in a similar manner to the methods described above and below. For example, methods 700 and 1100 optionally include one or more of the features of the various methods described above with respect to method 900. For example, in response to being selected or deselected, the selection state of items within the user interface may change from selected to unselected to unselected, depending on the current selection state of the item when selected/deselected. State is changed to the selected state. For brevity, these details are not repeated.

10A-10W illustrate example user interfaces for scrolling items in accordance with some embodiments. The user interfaces in these figures are used to illustrate the processes described below, including the processes of FIG. 11 .

In some embodiments, user interface 602 is such that scroll movement of items 608 in list 604 mirrors movement of input on items 608, as illustrated in FIGS. 10A-10G . 1 has scroll mode. In some embodiments, user interface 602 has a second scroll mode in which items 608 in list 604 are scrolled in response to movement of an input on a scroll progress indicator (e.g., scroll bar 614 ), activating the indexed scrubbing indicator 1018). Various embodiments of the second scroll mode are illustrated in FIGS. 10H-10W. In some embodiments, the electronic device 600 is stationary on the scroll bar 614 for at least a threshold amount of time (eg, a non-zero threshold that is greater than an amount of time to detect another touch gesture, such as a tap gesture or a swipe). Switches from the first scroll mode to the second scroll mode in response to detecting the input. When the electronic device 600 switches to the second scroll mode, the list of items scrolls in response to movement of the input on the scroll bar 614 causing the electronic device 600 to switch to the second scroll mode. In other words, after switching to the second mode, the fixed input on the scroll bar 614 can be moved to control scrolling in the second mode.

As shown in FIG. 10A, list 604 includes items 608, and preview pane 606 displays preview content 607-1 of selected item 608-1. Electronic device 600 detects scroll input 1002 (eg, a single input swipe gesture in an upward direction) on items 608 . In response, as shown in FIG. 10B , the electronic device 600 scrolls the items 608 based on the direction and size of the scroll input 1002 and displays a scroll bar 614 . Specifically, the scroll input 1002 is an upward swipe gesture on the display 601 . Because user interface 602 is in the first scrolling mode, list 604 is scrolled down as shown in FIG. 10B (eg, item 608 moves in an upward direction on display 601 ).

Referring now to FIG. 10B , a scroll bar 614 is displayed along with a list 604 . The scroll bar has a scrollable position with items 608 in list 604, extending from top edge 1004 to bottom edge 1006. When list 604 is scrolled to the top item (eg, item 608 - 1 is fully displayed as shown in FIG. 10A ), scroll bar 614 is positioned adjacent top edge 1004 . When list 604 is scrolled to a bottom item (eg, the last item in list 604 is fully displayed), scroll bar 614 is positioned adjacent bottom edge 1006 . Thus, in some embodiments, the length of the displayed portion of list 604 (e.g., between top edge 1004 and bottom edge 1006) represents a scrollable range (e.g., length) of the list of items. and the relative position of the scroll bar 614 between the top edge 1004 and the bottom edge 1006 represents the scrolled position of the items 608 in the list 604. Thus, for a given amount of movement of the scroll bar (eg, when scrolling in the second mode), the number of items 608 scrolled is proportional to the length of the list. For example, when a scroll gesture moves a scroll bar by 25% of the length of the distance between edges 1004 and 1006, the number of scrolled items is greater when the list is longer and less when the list is shorter. . Thus, one of the advantages of the second scrolling method (compared to the first scrolling method) is the ability to quickly scroll through large lists with reduced effort and inputs, as discussed in more detail below.

In some embodiments, scroll bar 614 has a size generally proportional to the total length of the list of items (eg, the scroll bar is smaller when the list is longer and larger when the list is shorter). In some embodiments, header area 605 expands and contracts with a scroll movement. For example, when list 604 is scrolled to the top, header area 605 has an expanded appearance as shown in FIG. 10A (in some cases, such as when displaying a rubber banding animation, header area 605 area extends much further). When list 604 is scrolled to a position other than the top of the list, header area 605 has a collapsed appearance as shown in FIG. 10B.

In some embodiments, scroll bar 614 is temporarily displayed in response to a scroll command (eg, scroll input 1002 ) and electronic device 600 does not detect any further input on items 608 . disappears after a predetermined period of time. For example, in FIG. 10B , electronic device 600 does not detect any additional input after scroll input 1002 . Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 10C , the electronic device 600 stops displaying the scroll bar 614 after a predetermined period of time.

In FIG. 10D , electronic device 600 detects scroll input 1008 on items 608 . In response, the electronic device 600 displays a scroll bar 614 and scrolls the list 604, as shown in FIG. 10E. Specifically, the scroll input 1008 is a downward swipe gesture on the display 601 . Because user interface 602 is in the first scrolling mode, list 604 is scrolled up (eg, item 608 moves in a downward direction on display 601 ). Also, as shown in FIG. 10E , the scroll input 1008 is a short scroll gesture, and thus the electronic device 600 scrolls the list 604 a short distance.

10E and 10F show an example embodiment in which an input on scroll bar 614 does not trigger a transition to a second scroll mode (e.g., the input does not include a stationary component or a stationary component triggers a transition). too short to do). As a result, the gesture causes the electronic device 600 to scroll in the first mode rather than in the second mode.

In FIG. 10E , before scroll bar 614 disappears, electronic device 600 detects input 1010 on scroll bar 614 . Input 1010 is insufficient to switch from the first scroll mode to the second scroll mode. For example, the user touches the scroll bar 614 and drags down without waiting for the scroll bar 614 to become interactive (e.g., input 1010 does not include a fixed portion, or does not include a fixed portion). 2 is less than the threshold amount of time required to activate scroll mode). Since the input 1010 does not remain stationary on the scroll bar 614 for a threshold amount of time, the electronic device remains in the first scrolling mode, and the result of the input 1010 is a normal scroll as shown in FIG. 10F. It's a gesture. That is, the electronic device 600 scrolls the list 604 based on the magnitude and direction of movement of the input 1010 by scrolling up in the list of items 608 (e.g., the items 608 are displayed on the display ( 601) in an upward direction). In FIG. 10F , electronic device 600 displays list 604 which has been scrolled to the top and stopped displaying scroll bar 614 .

As discussed above, the electronic device 600 is configured to detect at least a threshold amount of time (eg, a non-zero threshold above which the amount of time to detect another touch gesture, such as a tap gesture or a swipe (eg, input 1010)). Switches from the first scroll mode to the second scroll mode in response to detecting a fixed input on the scroll bar 614 during When the electronic device 600 switches to the second scrolling mode, the list of items scrolls in response to movement of the input on the scroll bar 614 . In other words, after switching to the second mode, the input on the scroll bar 614 can be held and then moved to control scrolling in the second mode. 10G-10I illustrate a series of inputs for causing electronic device 600 to switch from a first scroll mode to a second scroll mode.

For example, in FIG. 10G , electronic device 600 detects scroll input 1012 and in response scrolls list 604 and displays scroll bar 614 . In FIG. 10H , electronic device 600 detects input 1014 on scroll bar 614 . In this embodiment, input 1014 is positioned on scroll bar 614 (eg, within detection area 1015 ) and is stopped for at least a threshold amount of time to activate the second scroll mode. In response, the electronic device enters a second scroll mode in which items in the list are scrolled by moving the input on the scroll bar 614 (eg, the move input 1014). In some embodiments, when the second scroll mode is activated, the electronic device 600 changes the size (eg, width) of the scroll bar 614 as shown by the enlarged scroll bar 614-1 in FIG. 10I. and optionally display an animation that increases in length). The animation is visual confirmation to the user that the device is now operating in the second scrolling mode. Because the second scroll mode is controlled by the user's continued finger placement on the scroll bar, the enlarged size of the scroll bar makes it easier for the user to see the scroll bar while the user's finger is positioned on the scroll bar. In some embodiments, electronic device 600 generates tactile output 1017 (eg, haptic response) (eg, tactile output with or without audio output) when it switches to the second scroll mode. .

In some embodiments, when the electronic device switches to the second scroll mode, the electronic device displays a scroll bar 614 having the appearance of a scroll bar including a thumb portion that is located and displayed within a trough portion. (eg, the trough portion extends between edges 1004 and 1006). In such embodiments, the list is scrolled by dragging the thumb within the trough.

As briefly mentioned above, in some embodiments, when the electronic device 600 detects inputs within the detection area 1015 around the scroll bar 614, the electronic device determines that the input is located on the scroll bar. Consider In some embodiments, the size of detection area 1015 is dynamic. In other words, when the scroll bar has a smaller size, the detection area is smaller in size, and when the scroll bar is larger, the detection area is larger. In some embodiments, detection area 1015 is always larger than the size of scroll bar 614 .

10I-10O illustrate an example embodiment in which list 604 is scrolled in a second scrolling mode.

In FIG. 10I , the electronic device 600 is in a second scroll mode (e.g., as indicated by the enlarged scroll bar 614-1) and the input 1014 held on the enlarged scroll bar 614-1. ) continues to be detected. In FIG. 10J , the electronic device detects movement 1014-1 (eg, downward drag) of input 1014, and in response to the detected movement 1014-1 of input 1014, lists ( 604). Since the electronic device is in the second scrolling mode, the list is scrolled in the direction of movement 1014-1. For example, list 604 is scrolled down with movement 1014-1 as shown in FIG. 10K (eg, items 608 are moved in an upward direction). It should be appreciated that list 604 can be scrolled in the opposite direction (eg, up) by a drag gesture in an upward direction. For comparison, if the electronic device is in the first scroll mode, a downward movement 1014-1 will instead cause the list to scroll up (eg, items 608 would have been moved in a downward direction).

10L-10O show another scroll response of the electronic device 600 while in the second scroll mode. In this example, the user continues typing on the scroll bar, then flicks their finger in an upward direction (eg, towards the top of display 601). In response, the electronic device causes the user interface to jump to the beginning of the list. It should be understood that a flick in a downward direction (eg, toward the bottom of display 601 ) will cause the electronic device to jump to the end of the list.

In FIG. 10L , electronic device 600 continues to detect input 1014 on enlarged scroll bar 614-1 and flick gesture in an upward direction (eg, towards the top of list 604) (eg, towards the top of list 604). , a short move, then the end of input 1014). In response, the electronic device jumps (eg, scrolls quickly) to the beginning of list 604 . In some embodiments, jumping to the start of the list includes quickly displaying the list scrolls to the start of the list. In some embodiments, the jump to the beginning of the list is instantaneous (eg, the list is not shown scrolling). Scroll bar 614 moves to edge 1004 and returns to its original appearance (eg, thinner, optionally shorter) as shown in FIG. 10M.

In some embodiments, the flick action is displayed with the “rubber banding” animation shown in FIGS. 10N and 10O. In a rubber banding operation, header region 605 is stretched downward and scroll bar 614 is compressed when it reaches edge 1004, as shown in FIG. 10N. Header area 605 then returns to its former appearance, as shown in Figure 10o, and scroll bar 614 is compressed back to its former size. This rubber banding animation gives the appearance of the scroll bar 614 momentarily compressed due to the inertia of quickly moving to the top of the list by the flick gesture. It should be appreciated that the flick gesture can be performed in the opposite direction to scroll to the opposite end of the list. For example, if the user flicks the scroll bar to the bottom of display 601 (eg, a downward flick), the list of items is scrolled to the end of the list in a manner similar to that described above with respect to an upward flick.

10P-10W illustrate various embodiments in which the second scroll mode is performed using an indexed scrubbing indicator. 10P-10T illustrate an embodiment in which an indexed scrubbing indicator centered at the position of the input initiating the transition to the second scrolling mode is displayed. 10U and 10V illustrate an embodiment in which an indexed scrubbing indicator is displayed in a central area of a displayed list. 10W illustrates an embodiment in which an indexed scrubbing indicator is displayed adjacent to an input initiating a transition to a second scrolling mode. In some embodiments, the indexed scrubbing indicator is displayed in response to input on the scroll bar. In some embodiments, the indexed scrubbing indicator is displayed when the user touches an edge of list 604 (eg, within an area where a scroll bar is typically displayed) even when a scroll bar is not displayed.

10P shows user input 1016 detected on scroll bar 614 causing the electronic device to switch from a first scroll mode to a second scroll mode. A scroll bar 614 is positioned toward the top of the list 604 . As the input 1016 is held, the electronic device replaces the scroll bar 614 with an indexed scrubbing indicator 1018 . 10Q and 10R , indexed scrubbing indicator 1018 shows an indexed scrubbing indicator appearing at the location of input 1016 and extending from the location of input 1016, but centered at the location of input 1016. It is displayed as an animation with In some embodiments, indexed scrubbing indicator 1018 is displayed without an expanding animation.

In FIG. 10R , input 1016 is retained and indexed scrubbing indicator 1018 is displayed with a series of index points corresponding to relative scrollable positions in list 604 . As shown in FIG. 10R, the index point 1018-1 representing the current scrollable position in the index of scrollable positions represented by the indexed scrubbing indicator 1018 is selected. As shown in FIG. 10S, the electronic device 600 detects movement 1016-1 of input 1016 in the downward direction, and in response, to an indexed scroll position corresponding to the movement of input 1016. Scroll through the list 604. Index point 1018-2 is selected in FIG. 10S to indicate the updated scrolled position of list 604 for the index of scrollable positions represented by indexed scrubbing indicator 1018.

In FIG. 10T , the electronic device 600 detects the end of the input 1016 and, in response, stops displaying the indexed scrubbing indicator 1018 and switches back to the first scrolling mode.

10U-10W illustrate alternative embodiments in which the indexed scrubbing indicator is displayed in different positions. 10U and 10V , an indexed scrubbing indicator 1018 is displayed at approximately the center position of list 604 . In FIG. 10U, the electronic device detects input 1020 in scroll bar 614 (or, optionally, at a side edge of list 604 when scroll bar 614 is not displayed), as shown in FIG. 10V. As done, causes the electronic device to switch to the second scrolling mode and display the indexed scrubbing indicator 1020 at the center location of the list 604 .

In FIG. 10W , electronic device 600 detects input 1022 on list 604 and displays indexed scrubbing indicator 1018 at a location adjacent to input 1022 . Such an embodiment may indicate that the input is at or near an edge (e.g., edge 1004 or edge 1006) of list 604 (rather than an embodiment in which indexed scrubbing indicator 1018 is displayed around the contact). Can be implemented when positioned. In such situations, the indexed scrubbing indicator is displayed on the side of the input opposite the adjacent edge. For example, if an input is located at or near top edge 1004, an indexed scrubbing indicator 1018 is displayed below the input and input. Conversely, if the input is located at or near the bottom edge 1006, the indexed scrubbing indicator 1018 is displayed on and above the input. This embodiment may be implemented in a similar manner when the contact is positioned at or near the edge of display 601 .

The indexed scrubbing indicators 1018 displayed in FIGS. 10V and 10W behave in the same way as the indexed scrubbing indicators 1018 displayed in FIGS. 10R and 10S described above.

The embodiments discussed above provide advantages over traditional scrolling methods, such as continuously displaying a scroll bar and optionally a scroll track, and using a cursor or mouse to interact with the scroll bar. For example, the foregoing embodiments allow for aggressive scrolling of many items without requiring the display of additional UI components, such as a cursor for selecting a scroll bar. Accordingly, the foregoing embodiments, due to their uncomplicated nature, allow for a more streamlined and simplified scroll user interface that can be implemented on devices with smaller form factors, such as wearable devices and mobile devices.

11 is a flow diagram illustrating a method for selecting and scrolling items using an electronic device in accordance with some embodiments. Method 1100 is performed on a device having a display and a touch-sensitive surface (eg, 100, 300, 500, 600). Some actions of method 1100 are optionally combined, the order of some actions is optionally changed, and some actions are optionally omitted.

As described below, method 1100 provides an intuitive way to scroll a user interface. The method reduces the user's cognitive burden on navigating user interfaces at various rates, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, allowing a user to scroll through user interfaces faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.

An electronic device (eg, 600) having a display (eg, 601) and a touch-sensitive surface (eg, 601) (eg, 112) may display a plurality of items (eg, 608) (eg, eg, 112) through the display. Displays (1102) a user interface (eg, 602) including messages (eg, emails, text messages), a list of graphical objects such as pictures, files, etc.

The electronic device detects ( 1104 ) a first input (eg 1012 ) corresponding to a request to scroll the user interface.

In response to detecting the first input (eg, 1012), the electronic device scrolls the user interface (eg, 1106) and displays a scroll progress indicator (eg, 614) (eg, the scrollable range of the user interface (eg, 604) a scroll track (e.g., trough/gutter) (e.g., the distance between edges 1004 and 1006) representing a scroll bar representing the position of the displayed portion of the user interface in the context of the full scrollable range of the user interface. (e.g. 614) display 1106 (e.g. display temporarily; display initially; introduce display of a scroll progress indicator; e.g. display scroll progress) ruler is not displayed prior to scrolling). In some embodiments, the electronic device displays the scroll progress indicator for a predetermined amount of time as long as no contact is detected on the scroll progress indicator, in which case the time for displaying the scroll progress indicator is optionally extended. .

In some embodiments, the scroll progress indicator includes a scroll bar (eg, 614) (eg, thumb). In some embodiments, the scroll bar is positioned within a scroll track (e.g., trough) (e.g., between edges 1004 and 1006) and moves within the scroll track in response to movement of the second portion of the second input. do.

In some embodiments, while a scroll progress indicator is displayed, and upon a determination that no input is detected on the user interface for a predetermined amount of time, the electronic device ceases displaying the scroll progress indicator.

While the scroll progress indicator is displayed (eg, before the device stops displaying the scroll progress indicator), the electronic device (eg, 600) is substantially stationary (eg, stationary) in a first portion (eg, first portion). component; stationary component), followed by a second input (eg, 1014) comprising a second portion (eg, second component; component comprising movement) comprising movement in the first direction (eg, touch-sensitive surface A touch-and-hold input held stationary on the screen) is detected (1108).

In some embodiments, the first portion of the second input is an area (eg, 1015) surrounding the scroll bar (eg, 614) (eg, thumb) portion of the scroll progress indicator. is directed to a scroll progress indicator when detected within (e.g., a detection region) (e.g., the detection region includes a thumb portion and an area extending beyond the displayed size of the thumb portion) (e.g., the detection region is a thumb portion) centered on the finger area and slightly larger than the thumb area). In some embodiments, a scroll bar portion of a scroll progress indicator having a first size is displayed when the user interface has a first scrollable length (eg, the detection area is smaller than the first size of a thumb portion of the scroll progress indicator). slightly larger). In some embodiments, a scroll bar portion of a scroll progress indicator having a second size different from the first size is displayed when the user interface has a second scrollable length different from the first scrollable length (e.g., detected area is of a second size slightly larger than the second size of the thumb portion of the scroll progress indicator). In some embodiments, the scroll bar and corresponding detection area have a dynamic size based on the scrollable length of the user interface. For example, when the user interface is of a shorter scrollable length, the scroll bar and corresponding detection area are larger, and when the user interface is of a longer scrollable length, the scroll bar and corresponding detection area are smaller. In some embodiments, making the detection area larger than the scroll bar makes it easier for the user to select the scroll bar, thereby increasing the usability of the scroll bar, particularly when the scroll bar is of a smaller size (e.g., scrolling Reduces the likelihood of unsuccessful input attempts to select a scroll bar (when the available user interface is long). This improves the operability of the device (eg, by helping the user provide appropriate inputs when operating/interacting with the device and reducing user errors) and makes the user-device interface more efficient, which additionally reduces device power usage and improves battery life by enabling devices to be used more quickly and efficiently.

In response to detecting a second input (e.g., 1010) (1110): a first portion of the second input is directed to a scroll progress indicator (e.g., 614) (e.g., the first portion of the second input scrolls Upon a determination that the first criteria are not met (e.g., a second input occurs at a location corresponding to that of the progress indicator), the second input initiates a continuous stationary contact (e.g., on a scroll progress indicator) that exceeds a threshold amount of time before moving. (e.g., on a scroll bar)), the electronic device in a first manner based on movement of the contact in the second portion of the second input (e.g., the scroll movement of the user interface results in a scroll command on the user interface). (eg, if the scroll command is a touch input that moves upward by 300 pixels, the user interface moves upward by 300 pixels) in a manner that directly corresponds to (eg, mirrors) the movement of the user interface (eg, 602) is scrolled (1112). In some embodiments, scrolling the user interface in the first manner includes scrolling the user interface to a first scrolled position determined based on a direction and magnitude of movement of the second portion of the second input. In some embodiments, scrolling in the first manner includes scrolling the user interface in a second direction different from (eg, opposite to) the first direction of movement of the second portion of the second input. For example, if the first direction of movement is substantially in a downward direction, the user interface scrolls in an upward direction (eg, items in a list move in a downward direction to scroll up in a list). For example, in FIG. 10E , input 1010 does not meet the first criteria. As a result, device 602 scrolls list 604 in a first manner as shown in FIG. 10F. When the first portion of the second input is directed to the scroll progress indicator and does not meet the first criteria, scrolling the user interface in the first manner based on movement of the contact in the second portion of the second input comprises: Controlling the duration of the first portion of the second contact on the progress indicator allows the user to selectively control when to scroll in the first or second manner, thereby reducing the number of inputs required to switch between scroll modes. Decrease. Additionally, it provides additional control options to the user without the need to complicate the user interface with additional displayed controls. These benefits improve the operability of the device and make the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user provide appropriate inputs when operating/interacting with the device and reducing user errors); This additionally reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

In some embodiments, the first criteria are that the first portion of the second input is stationary (eg, continuous, stationary contact on a scroll progress indicator (eg, on a scroll bar)) for at least a first threshold amount of time. Including criteria that are met when

In some embodiments, the first threshold amount of time is a threshold amount of time to detect (eg, classify; verify) a first type of touch input (eg, a tap input; a swipe gesture) (eg, specifying the detected input). greater than (e.g., 1.5 of the amount of time) the amount of time required to classify a gesture as a valid gesture (eg, a valid gesture); times; twice the amount of time). In some embodiments, setting the first criteria to include a requirement that the input be paused for a threshold amount of time that is greater than the threshold amount of time for detecting a first type of touch input is the location where the user is proximate to the scroll progress indicator. When intending to scroll in a first way using input in (e.g., by preventing the user from accidentally causing a scroll progress indicator (e.g., a scroll bar) to scroll in a second way), the device may inadvertently cause it to scroll in a second way. to prevent scrolling. This provides additional control options to keep scrolling in the first way without cluttering the user interface with additional displayed controls, which (e.g., allows the user to input appropriate input when operating/interacting with the device). improves the operability of the device (by reducing user errors) and makes the user-device interface more efficient, which additionally enables the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently, thereby reducing the power usage of the device. and improve battery life.

In response to detecting a second input (eg, 1014) (1110): upon a determination that a first portion of the second input was directed to a scroll progress indicator (eg, 614) and meets first criteria (eg, If the second input includes continuous stationary contact (eg, on a scroll progress indicator (eg, on a scroll bar)) for more than a threshold amount of time before movement, the electronic device (eg, 600) performs a first modulus a second manner different from and based on movement of the contact in the second portion of the second input (eg, a manner based on movement of a scroll bar within a scroll track (eg between edges 1004 and 1006), where the scroll bar The movement of (eg, mirroring) directly corresponds to (eg, mirrors) the movement of the scroll command (eg, the second portion of the second input) on the scroll bar to scroll (1114) the user interface. In some embodiments, scrolling the user interface in a second manner moves the user interface to a second scrolled position different from the first scrolled position (e.g., a second portion of the second input on a scroll bar portion of a scroll progress indicator). and scrolling to different scrolled positions within the user interface determined based on the direction and magnitude of the movement of the user interface. In some embodiments, scrolling in the second manner includes scrolling the user interface in the first direction. For example, if the first direction of movement is substantially a downward direction, the user interface scrolls in a downward direction (eg, items in a list move in an upward direction to scroll down in a list). In some embodiments, scrolling in the second manner includes scrolling the user interface at a different rate than scrolling in the first manner (e.g., depending on the length of the user interface, the greater the length of the user interface, the second The scroll rate is higher when scrolling in this way). For example, when the second portion of the second input has a first movement amount, scrolling in the first manner causes the user interface to scroll by the first scroll amount, and scrolling in the second manner causes the user interface to scroll in the first manner. Causes scrolling by a second scroll amount that is different from (eg greater than) the first amount. This means that when scrolling in the second way, compared to scrolling in the first way, the user can scroll through the larger user interface at a greater rate (e.g., a larger amount of scrolling for a given size of the second portion of the second input). ) is scrollable, reducing the number of inputs required to scroll items. Additionally, it provides additional control options to the user without the need to complicate the user interface with additional displayed controls. These benefits improve the operability of the device and make the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user provide appropriate inputs when operating/interacting with the device and reducing user errors); This additionally reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently. When a first portion of the second input is directed to the scroll progress indicator and meets the first criteria, scrolling the user interface in a second manner based on movement of the contact in the second portion of the second input results in scroll progress Controlling the duration of the first portion of the second contact on the indicator allows the user to selectively control when to scroll in the first or second manner, reducing the number of inputs required to switch between scroll modes. let it Additionally, it provides additional control options to the user without the need to complicate the user interface with additional displayed controls. These benefits improve the operability of the device and make the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user provide appropriate inputs when operating/interacting with the device and reducing user errors); This additionally reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

In some embodiments, scrolling the user interface in the first manner includes scrolling the user interface in a different (eg, opposite) direction than the first direction of movement of the second portion of the second input. In some embodiments, scrolling the user interface in the second manner includes scrolling the user interface in the same direction (eg, substantially the same direction) as the first movement direction of the second portion of the second input.

In some embodiments, scrolling the user interface in the second manner results in the second input in response to a determination that the second portion of the second input comprises a magnitude of movement greater than a threshold magnitude (eg, a non-zero threshold). and scrolling the user interface in the first direction by an amount corresponding to the magnitude of movement of the second portion of the second input (eg, the user interface is scrolled by an amount mirroring the magnitude of movement of the second portion of the second input). In some embodiments, scrolling the user interface in the second manner comprises moving the user interface to the end of the user interface in the first direction in response to a determination that the second portion of the second input comprises a magnitude of movement less than a threshold magnitude. (e.g., to the top or bottom of a user interface). In some embodiments, the user interface is scrolled to the end of the user interface, regardless of the actual size of the second portion of the second input and regardless of the length of the user interface, as long as the size of the second portion is less than the threshold size. For example, when the second part of the second input is a short motion such as a flick gesture (eg, 1014-2), the electronic device moves to the end of the user interface (eg, in the direction of the flick) regardless of the length of the user interface. Scroll through the user interface. Conversely, when the size of the second portion of the second input is greater than the threshold size, the user interface is scrolled in the first direction by an amount corresponding to the size of the second portion of the second input. For example, if the second portion has a first size greater than the threshold size, the user interface is scrolled in the first direction by a first amount corresponding to the first size, and if the second portion has a second size greater than the threshold size, The user interface is scrolled in the first direction by a second amount corresponding to the second size.

In some embodiments, further in response to detecting a second input (eg, 1014): determining that a first portion of the second input was directed to a scroll progress indicator (eg, 614) and meets first criteria. Accordingly, the electronic device generates a first tactile output (e.g., 1017) (e.g., using haptic feedback module 133, haptic feedback controller 161, and tactile output generator 167) (e.g., a haptic response). ) (eg, tactile output and/or audio output (eg, non-visual feedback)). In some embodiments, the first tactile output is an audible output generated when the electronic device changes from a first scrolling behavior in which scrolling is performed in a first manner to a second scrolling behavior in which scrolling is performed in a second manner. include In some embodiments, generating the first tactile output provides a tactile and/or audible indication to the user that the electronic device has switched from a first scrolling behavior to a second scrolling behavior, the first tactile output comprising: Provide tactile and/or audio feedback of the transition that can be detected by the user's tactile and/or auditory senses. Providing improved feedback improves the operability of the device (eg by helping the user provide appropriate inputs when operating/interacting with the device and reducing user errors) and the user-device interface becomes more efficient, which further reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

In some embodiments, further in response to detecting a second input (eg, 1010 ): indicating that a first portion of the second input was directed to a scroll progress indicator (eg, 614 ) and does not meet the first criteria. In accordance with the determination, the electronic device scrolls the user interface in a first manner based on movement of the contact in the second portion of the second input without generating the first tactile output. In some embodiments, no tactile output is generated unless the electronic device switches from the first scrolling behavior to the second scrolling behavior. Scrolling the user interface in the first manner without generating a first tactile output provides feedback to the user that the electronic device is not switching from the first scrolling behavior to the second scrolling behavior. Providing improved feedback improves the operability of the device (eg by helping the user provide appropriate inputs when operating/interacting with the device and reducing user errors) and the user-device interface becomes more efficient, which further reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

In some embodiments, after generating the first tactile output, the electronic device detects the end of the second input (eg, with or without scrolling the user interface) and responds to detecting the end of the second input. (e.g., using haptic feedback module 133, haptic feedback controller 161, and tactile output generator 167) a second tactile output (e.g., a haptic response) (e.g., tactile output and/or or audio output (eg, non-visual feedback). In some embodiments, the second tactile output is an audible output generated when the electronic device changes from a second scrolling behavior in which scrolling is performed in a second manner to a first scrolling behavior in which scrolling is performed in a first manner. include In some embodiments, generating the second tactile output provides a tactile and/or audible indication to the user that the electronic device has reversed from the second scrolling behavior back to the first scrolling behavior, and the second tactile output provides tactile and/or audible feedback of the transition that can be sensed by the user's tactile and/or sound. Providing improved feedback improves the operability of the device (eg by helping the user provide appropriate inputs when operating/interacting with the device and reducing user errors) and the user-device interface becomes more efficient, which further reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

In some embodiments, further in response to detecting the second input (eg, 1014): upon determining that the first portion of the second input was directed to the scroll progress indicator and satisfies the first criteria, the electronic device: Change the appearance of the scroll progress indicator from the first appearance (eg, 614) to the second appearance (eg, 614-1) (eg, enlarge the appearance of the scroll bar portion of the scroll progress indicator (eg, from the first thickness) displaying a scroll bar portion of the scroll progress indicator transitioning to a second thickness that is greater than the first thickness. In some embodiments, changing the appearance of the scroll progress indicator includes generating a haptic response. , changing the appearance of the scroll progress indicator from a first appearance to a second appearance provides visual feedback to the user that the electronic device has switched from a first scrolling behavior to a second scrolling behavior. allows the user to see the scroll bar when the user's finger is positioned over the scroll bar, increasing the usability of the scroll bar and increasing the scrollability of the current scroll position within the scrollable range of the user interface (e.g., indicated by the scroll track). Providing improved feedback to the user (e.g., by helping the user provide appropriate inputs when operating/interacting with the device and reducing user mistakes) improves operability and makes the user-device interface more efficient, which further reduces the power usage of the device and improves battery life by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

In some embodiments, while the scroll progress indicator has the second appearance, the electronic device detects the end of the second input (eg, with or without scrolling the user interface). In some embodiments, in response to detecting the end of the second input, the electronic device changes the appearance of the scroll progress indicator from the second appearance to the first appearance (eg, changing the appearance of the scroll bar portion of the scroll progress indicator to the first appearance). Narrowing (eg, displaying the scroll bar portion of a scroll progress indicator transitioning from a second thickness to a first thickness less than the second thickness). In some embodiments, changing the appearance of the scroll progress indicator includes generating a haptic response. In some embodiments, changing the appearance of the scroll progress indicator from the second appearance to the first appearance provides visual feedback to the user that the electronic device has reversed from the second scroll behavior back to the first scroll behavior. Providing improved feedback improves the operability of the device (eg by helping the user provide appropriate inputs when operating/interacting with the device and reducing user errors) and the user-device interface becomes more efficient, which further reduces the device's power usage and improves battery life by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

In some embodiments, further in response to detecting a second input (eg, 1014): determining that a first portion of the second input was directed to a scroll progress indicator (eg, 614) and meets first criteria. Accordingly, the electronic device changes the appearance of the scroll progress indicator to include an indexed scrubbing indicator (eg, 1018) located on the user interface at a location proximal to the position of the first portion of the second input (eg, indexing The scrubbed indicator is centered around the location of the first portion of the second input) (eg, FIGS. 10Q and 10R show indexed scrubbing indicators centered on the location of input 1016). In some embodiments, the indexed scrubbing indicator corresponds to an index of relative scrollable positions within the user interface. In some embodiments, when the indexed scrubbing indicator is displayed, the device detects movement of the second portion of the second input, and the indexed scrubbing indicator within the scrollable user interface corresponding to the position of the input relative to the indexed scrubbing indicator. Scroll to a location (eg, see FIGS. 10R-10T). In some embodiments, the electronic device (eg, 600) displays the indexed scrubbing indicator (eg, 1018) at other displayed locations on the user interface (eg, 602) (eg, see FIGS. 10U-10W). ). For example, in some embodiments, when the position of the first portion of the second input is proximal to an edge area of the user interface, the indexed scrubbing indicator is the first portion of the second input opposite from the edge area of the user interface. is displayed adjacent to (eg, see FIG. 10W).

In some embodiments, further in response to detecting a second input (eg, 1014): determining that a first portion of the second input was directed to a scroll progress indicator (eg, 614) and meets first criteria. Accordingly, the electronic device is positioned (e.g., an edge as shown in FIG. Change the appearance of the scroll progress indicator to include an indexed scrubbing indicator (eg, 1018) positioned on the user interface at a location centered between s 1004 and 1006.

In some embodiments, further in response to detecting the second input: upon determining that the first portion of the second input is not directed to a scroll progress indicator, the electronic device determines that the first portion of the second input is directed to the first portion of the second input. scroll the user interface in a first manner based on movement of the contact in the second portion of the second input regardless of whether the criteria are met (e.g., if the second portion of the second input meets the first criteria, then scrolls the user interface in manner 1 and scrolls the user interface in manner 1 if the second portion of the second input does not meet the first criteria), in some embodiments, the first portion of the second input is a scroll progress indicator When not positioned on a ruler, the UI determines whether or not the first portion of the second input meets the first criteria (e.g., even if the first portion of the second contact meets the first criteria). It is scrolled in a first way based on two parts.

In some embodiments, while the scroll progress indicator is displayed, the electronic device detects a third input (eg, 1010) comprising a movement in the respective direction (eg, a swipe gesture). In some embodiments, in response to detecting the third input, the electronic device scrolls the user interface in a first manner based on movement of the third input.
