One or more functions of the touch-sensitive surface and the corresponding information displayed on the device are adjusted and/or changed from one application to the next and/or within each application as appropriate. In this way, the common physical architecture of the device (such as a touch-sensitive surface) optionally supports multiple applications with a user interface that is intuitive and transparent to the user.

Attention will now be paid to embodiments directed towards portable devices with touch-sensitive displays. FIG. 1A is a block diagram illustrating a portable multifunction device 100 having a touch-sensitive display system 112 according to some embodiments. For convenience, the touch-sensitive display 112 is sometimes referred to as a "touch screen", and is sometimes referred to or referred to as a touch-sensitive display system. The device 100 includes a memory 102 (which optionally includes one or more computer-readable storage media), a memory controller 122, one or more processing units (CPU) 120, a peripheral device interface 118, an RF circuit 108, and an audio circuit 110, speaker 111, microphone 113, input/output (I/O) subsystem 106, other input control devices 116, and external port 124. The device 100 optionally includes one or more optical sensors 164. The device 100 optionally includes a device 100 for detecting (e.g., One or more contact intensity sensors 165 such as the intensity of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface of the touch-sensitive display system 112 of the device 100. The device 100 optionally includes one or more for generating tactile output on the device 100 (eg, generating tactile output on a touch-sensitive surface such as the touch-sensitive display system 112 of the device 100 or the touchpad 355 of the device 300) A tactile output generator 167. These components communicate via one or more communication buses or signal lines 103 as appropriate.

As used in this specification and the scope of the patent application, the term "strength" of contact on a touch-sensitive surface refers to the force or pressure (force per unit area) of contact (for example, finger contact) on the touch-sensitive surface, Or refers to a substitute (agent) for the force or pressure of contact on a touch-sensitive surface. The intensity of contact has a value range that includes at least four different values, and more often includes hundreds of different values (for example, at least 256). Depending on the situation, various methods and various sensors or combinations of sensors are used to determine (or measure) the intensity of contact. For example, one or more force sensors under or adjacent to the touch-sensitive surface are used as appropriate to measure the force at various points on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, force measurements from multiple force sensors are combined (eg, weighted average) to determine the estimated force of contact. Similarly, the pressure-sensitive tip of the stylus is used as appropriate to determine the pressure of the stylus on the touch-sensitive surface. Alternatively, as appropriate, the size and/or change of the contact area detected on the touch-sensitive surface, the capacitance and/or change of the touch-sensitive surface close to the contact, and/or the touch-sensitive surface close to the contact The resistance of the surface and/or its change is used as a substitute for contact force or pressure on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, a substitute measurement of contact force or pressure is directly used to determine whether the strength threshold has been exceeded (for example, the strength threshold described in the unit corresponding to the measurement of the substitute). In some implementations, the contact force or pressure substitute measurement is converted into an estimated force or pressure, and the estimated force or pressure is used to determine whether the strength threshold has been exceeded (for example, the strength threshold is measured in pressure units The measured pressure threshold). Using the strength of the contact as the attribute of the user input allows the user to access additional device functionality on the reduced size device. The additional device functionality may not be accessible to the user. Small reduction devices have functions for displaying visual cues (affordance) (for example, on a touch-sensitive display) and/or receiving user input (for example, via a touch-sensitive display, a touch-sensitive surface, or an entity such as a knob or button /Mechanical control).

As used in this specification and the scope of the patent application, the term "tactile output" refers to the physical displacement of the device relative to the previous position of the device, the component of the device (for example, a touch-sensitive surface) relative to another component of the device (for example , The physical displacement of the housing), or the displacement of the component relative to the center of mass of the device detected by the user through its touch sensing. For example, in the case where a device or a component of the device touches a touch-sensitive user's surface (for example, a finger, palm, or other part of the user's hand), the tactile output generated by the physical displacement will be generated by the user Interpreted as a tactile sensation corresponding to the changes perceived in the physical characteristics of the device or component of the device. For example, the user interprets the movement of a touch-sensitive surface (such as a touch-sensitive display or track pad) as a "click down" or "click up" of a physical actuator button as appropriate. In some cases, even when the physical actuator button associated with the touch-sensitive surface that is physically pressed (e.g., shifted) by the user's movement does not move, the user will still feel something like "downward The tactile sensation of "click" or "click up". As another example, even when the smoothness of the touch-sensitive surface does not change, the user interprets or senses the movement of the touch-sensitive surface as the "roughness" of the touch-sensitive surface as appropriate. Although the user's touch interpretation will be affected by the user's individualized sensory perception, there are many touch sensory perceptions shared by a greater number of users. Therefore, unless otherwise stated, when the tactile output is described as corresponding to the user's specific sensory perception (for example, "click up", "click down", "roughness"), the generated tactile output corresponds to the The physical displacement of the sensory device or its components described by typical (or general) users.

The contact/motion module 130 receives contact data from the touch-sensitive surface. Determining the movement of the contact point (represented by a series of contact data), depending on the situation, includes determining the velocity (quantity), speed (quantity and direction) and/or acceleration (change in quantity and/or direction) of the contact point. Depending on the situation, these operations are applied to a single contact (for example, one finger contact) or to multiple simultaneous contacts (for example, "multi-touch"/multiple finger contact). In some embodiments, the contact/motion module 130 and the display controller 156 detect contact on the touch panel.

Different gestures on the touch-sensitive surface have different contact patterns (for example, different movements, timing, and/or intensity of the detected contact). Therefore, depending on the situation, the gesture is detected by detecting a specific contact pattern. For example, detecting a finger touch gesture includes detecting a finger downward event, followed by detecting the finger at the same position (or substantially the same position) as the finger downward event (for example, at the position shown in the figure) Up (lift) event. As another example, detecting a finger sliding gesture on a touch-sensitive surface includes detecting a finger downward event, followed by detecting one or more finger drag events, and then detecting finger upward (lifting) )event.

In some embodiments, the application 136-1 includes an application internal state 192, which indicates the current application view displayed on the touch-sensitive display 112 while the application is active or running. In some embodiments, the event classifier 170 uses the device/global internal state 157 to determine which application or applications are currently active, and the event classifier 170 uses the application The internal state 192 is used to determine which application views 191 to send event information to.

In some embodiments, the application internal state 192 includes additional information, such as one or more of the following: recovery information that will be used when the application 136-1 resumes execution, indicating the information being displayed or ready to be used by the application 136 -1 The user interface status information displayed is used to enable the user to return to the previous status or view status queue of the application 136-1 and the redo/undo queue of the aforementioned actions taken by the user.

The event monitor 171 receives event information from the peripheral device interface 118. The event information includes information about sub-events (for example, a user's touch on the touch-sensitive display 112 as part of a multi-touch gesture). The peripheral device interface 118 transmits information received from the I/O subsystem 106 or a sensor such as the proximity sensor 166, the accelerometer 168, and/or the microphone 113 (via the audio circuit 110). The information received by the peripheral device interface 118 from the I/O subsystem 106 includes information from the touch-sensitive display 112 or touch-sensitive surface.

In some embodiments, the event monitor 171 sends requests to the peripheral device interface 118 at predetermined time intervals. In response, the peripheral device interface 118 transmits event information. In other embodiments, the peripheral device interface 118 only transmits event information when there is a significant event (for example, receiving input above a predetermined noise threshold and/or exceeding a predetermined duration).

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

The click view determination module 172 provides a software program for determining where the sub-event occurs in one or more views when the touch-sensitive display 112 displays more than one view. The view is made up of controls and other elements that the user can see on the display.

Another aspect of the user interface associated with an application is a collection of views (sometimes referred to as an application view or a user interface window in this article) in which information is displayed and touch-based gestures occur. The application view (of each application) where the touch is detected can correspond to the programming of the application or the programming level in the view hierarchy. For example, the lowest-level view where a touch is detected can be called a click view, and it is recognized as a proper input The set of incoming events may be determined based at least in part on the click view that starts the initial touch based on the touch gesture.

The click view determination module 172 receives information about the child events of the touch-based gesture. When the application has multiple views organized in a hierarchy, the click view determination module 172 recognizes a click view as the lowest view in the hierarchy that should handle sub-events. In most cases, the click view is the lowest-level view in which the initial sub-event occurs (for example, the first sub-event in the sequence of sub-events forming an event or potential event). Once the click view determination module 172 recognizes the click view, the click view usually receives all sub-events related to the same touch or input source, so it is recognized as a click view.

The active event identifier determination module 173 determines which view or views in the view hierarchy should receive a specific sub-event sequence. In some embodiments, the active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that only the click view should receive a specific sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, the active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that all views including the physical location of the sub-event are actively participating views, and therefore determines that all actively participating views should receive a specific sub-event sequence. In other embodiments, even if the touch sub-event is completely restricted to the area associated with a particular view, the higher view in the hierarchy will remain as the actively participating view.

The event dispatcher module 174 dispatches the event information to the event identifier (for example, the event identifier 180). In an embodiment including the active event recognizer determination module 173, the event dispatcher module 174 transmits event information to the event recognizer determined by the active event recognizer determination module 173. In some embodiments, the event dispatcher module 174 stores event information in an event queue, and the respective event receiver 182 retrieves the event queue.

In some embodiments, the operating system 126 includes an event classifier 170. Alternatively, the application 136-1 includes an event classifier 170. In other specific examples, the event classifier 170 is an independent module, or a part of another module (such as the contact/motion module 130) stored in the memory 102.

In some embodiments, the application 136-1 includes a plurality of event handling programs 190 and One or more application views 191, each of which includes instructions for handling touch events that occur in a separate view of the user interface of the application. Each application view 191 of the application 136-1 includes one or more event recognizers 180. Generally, each application view 191 includes a plurality of event identifiers 180. In other embodiments, one or more of the event recognizer 180 is part of an independent module, such as a user interface set (not shown) or the application 136-1 inherits methods and other properties of higher Hierarchical objects. In some embodiments, each event handling program 190 includes one or more of the following: data update program 176, object update program 177, GUI update program 178, and/or event data 179 received from event classifier 170 . The event handler 190 can use or call the data update program 176, the object update program 177, or the GUI update program 178 to update the internal state 192 of the application. Alternatively, one or more of the application views 191 include one or more individual event handlers 190. Furthermore, in some embodiments, one or more of the data update program 176, the object update program 177, and the GUI update program 178 are included in the respective application view 191.

Each event recognizer 180 receives event information (for example, event data 179) from the event classifier 170 and recognizes the event from the event information. The event recognizer 180 includes an event receiver 182 and an event comparator 184. In some embodiments, the event recognizer 180 also includes at least a subset of the following: the post data 183 and the event transfer command 188 (which may include sub-event transfer commands).

The event receiver 182 receives event information from the event classifier 170. The event information includes information about sub-events (for example, touch or touch movement). Depending on the sub-event, the event information also includes additional information, such as the location of the sub-event. When the sub-event is related to the movement of the touch, the event information can also include the speed and direction of the sub-event. In some embodiments, the event includes the rotation of the device from one orientation to another (for example, from a vertical orientation to a horizontal orientation, or vice versa), and the event information includes information about the current orientation of the device (also referred to as device attitude) ) Corresponding information.

The event comparator 184 compares the event information with the predefined event or sub-event definition, and based on the comparison, determines the event or sub-event or determines or updates the state of the event or sub-event. In some embodiments, the event comparator 184 includes an event definition 186. The event definition 186 contains definitions of events such as event 1 (187-1), event 2 (187-2) and other events (for example, predefined sub-event sequence). In some embodiments, the sub-events in the event (187) include, for example, touch start, touch end, touch movement, touch cancellation, and multiple touches. In one example, event 1 (187-1) is defined as a double tap on the displayed object. Double tapping (for example) includes the first touch (touch start) on the displayed object for a predetermined period, the first lifting (touch end) for the predetermined period, and the second touch on the displayed object for the predetermined period ( Touch start) and continue the second lift (touch end) for a predetermined period. In another example, event 2 (187-2) is defined as a drag on the displayed object. Dragging includes, for example, a touch (or contact) on a displayed object for a predetermined period, the movement of the touch across the touch-sensitive display 112, and the lifting of the touch (touch end). In some embodiments, the event also includes information for one or more associated event handlers 190.

In some embodiments, the event definition 187 includes event definitions for individual user interface objects. In some embodiments, the event comparator 184 performs a click test to determine which user interface object is associated with the sub-event. For example, in the application view where three user interface objects are displayed on the touch-sensitive display 112, when a touch is detected on the touch-sensitive display 112, the event comparator 184 performs a click test to determine three Which of the user interface objects is associated with the touch (sub-event). If each displayed object is associated with a respective event handler 190, the event comparator uses the result of the click test to determine which event handler 190 should be activated. For example, the event comparator 184 selects the event handler associated with the sub-event and the object that triggers the click test.

In some embodiments, the definition of each event (187) also includes a delayed action after delaying the transmission of event information until it has been determined whether the sequence of sub-events corresponds to the event type of the event identifier.

When each event recognizer 180 determines that a series of sub-events does not match any event in event definition 186, each event recognizer 180 enters the event impossible, event failed, or event end state, and then ignores the touch-based gesture. Subsequent sub-events. In this case, other event recognizers (if any) that remain active for the click view continue to track and process the ongoing touch-based gesture child events.

In some embodiments, each event recognizer 180 includes post data 183 with configurable properties, flags, and/or lists indicating how the event delivery system should perform sub-event transmission to the actively participating event recognizers. In some embodiments, the meta data 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists indicating how the event recognizers can interact, or can interact with each other. In some embodiments, the meta data 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate whether the sub-events are sent to different levels in the view or programming hierarchy.

In some embodiments, each individual event recognizer 180 activates the event handler 190 associated with the event when it recognizes one or more specific sub-events of the event. In some embodiments, each event recognizer 180 transmits event information associated with the event to the event handler 190. Starting the event handler 190 is different from sending (and deferring sending) sub-events to the respective click views. In some embodiments, the event recognizer 180 throws back the flag associated with the recognized event, and the event handler 190 associated with the flag captures the flag and executes a predefined process.

In some embodiments, the event sending command 188 includes a sub-event sending command that sends event information about the sub-event without activating the event handling program. The reality is that the sub-event sending command sends event information to an event handler associated with a series of sub-events or to an active participant view. Event handlers associated with a series of sub-events or with active participation views receive event information and execute predetermined processing procedures.

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

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

It will be understood that the foregoing discussion on the event handling of user touch on a touch-sensitive display is also applicable to other forms of user input for operating the multifunction device 100 with input devices, and not all such user inputs are Started on the touch screen. For example, move the mouse and press the mouse button as appropriate (it depends on the situation with single or multiple keyboard pressing or holding, contact movement (such as touch on the touchpad, drag, scroll, etc.), touch Pen input, device movement, verbal command, detected eyeball movement, biometric input; and/or any combination coordination thereof) are used as input corresponding to the sub-events defining the event to be recognized.

Other marks are used for various application icons as appropriate. In some embodiments, the tag used for the respective application icon includes the name of the application corresponding to the respective application icon. In some embodiments, the tag used for a specific application icon is different from the name of the application corresponding to the specific application icon.

FIG. 4B illustrates on a device (eg, device 300 of FIG. 3) having a touch-sensitive surface 451 (eg, the tablet or touch pad 355 of FIG. 3) separated from the display 450 (eg, touch screen display 112) The illustrative user interface. The device 300 also optionally includes one or more contact intensity sensors (for example, one or more of the sensors 357) for detecting the contact intensity on the touch-sensitive surface 451, and/or The user of the device 300 generates one or more tactile output generators 359 for tactile output.

Although some of the following examples (where the touch-sensitive surface and the display are combined) will be given with reference to the input on the touch screen display 112, in some embodiments, the device detects the touch-sensitive surface separate from the display Enter as shown in Figure 4B. In some embodiments, the touch-sensitive surface (eg, touch-sensitive surface 451 in FIG. 4B) has a major axis (eg, major axis 452 in FIG. 4B) that corresponds to the display (eg, display 450) On the main axis (for example, the main axis 453 in Figure 4B). According to these embodiments, the device The device detects contact with the touch-sensitive surface 451 (for example, contact 460 and contact 462 in FIG. 4B) at positions corresponding to respective positions on the display (for example, in FIG. 4B, contact 460 corresponds to contact 468) And contact 462 corresponds to contact 470). In this way, user inputs (for example, contacts 460 and 462, and their movements) detected by the device on the touch-sensitive surface (for example, touch-sensitive surface 451 in FIG. 4B) are used by the device to When the touch-sensitive surface is separated from the display, the user interface on the display of the multifunction device (for example, the display 450 in FIG. 4B) is manipulated. It should be understood that similar methods may be used for other user interfaces described herein as appropriate.

In addition, although the following examples are mainly given with reference to finger input (eg, finger contact, finger tap gesture, finger sliding gesture), it should be understood that in some embodiments, one or more finger inputs are used from another input device The input (for example, mouse-based input or stylus input) is replaced. For example, a mouse click is used as appropriate (for example, instead of contact), followed by movement of the cursor along the sliding path (for example, instead of contact) to replace the sliding gesture. As another example, when the cursor is above the position of the tap gesture, the tap gesture is replaced with a mouse click (for example, instead of detecting a contact, and then stopping detecting the contact) as appropriate. Similarly, when multiple user inputs are detected at the same time, it should be understood that multiple computer mice may be used at the same time as appropriate, or both mice and finger touch may be used at the same time as appropriate.

As used herein, the term "visual cues" refers to user-interactive graphical user interface objects that can be displayed on the display screens of devices 100, 300, and/or 500 (Figure 1, Figure 3, and Figure 5). For example, images (such as icons), buttons, and text (such as hyperlinks) can each constitute visual clues.

As used herein, the term "focus selector" refers to an input element that indicates the current part of the user interface that the user is interacting with. In some implementations that include a cursor or other position markers, the cursor acts as a "focus selector" so that when on a touch-sensitive surface (eg, touchpad 355 in FIG. 3 or touch-sensitive surface 451 in FIG. 4B) Input (e.g., press input) is detected on the keyboard and the cursor is over a specific user interface element (e.g., button, window, When the slider or other user interface element is above, adjust the specific user interface element according to the detected input. Some of the touch screen displays (such as the touch sensitive display system 112 in FIG. 1A or the touch screen 112 in FIG. 4A) that enable direct interaction with user interface elements on the touch screen display In implementation, the touch detected on the touch screen acts as a "focus selector" so that when a specific user interface element (such as buttons, windows, sliders, or other user When an input is detected at the position of the interface element (for example, input by pressing the touch), the specific user interface element is adjusted according to the detected input. In some implementations, when there is no corresponding cursor movement or contact movement on the touch screen display (for example, by using the tab key or arrow keys to move the focus from one button to another), the The focus moves 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 the focus between different areas of the user interface. Regardless of the specific form adopted by the focus selector, the focus selector is generally a user interface element (or a touch on a touch screen display) that is controlled by the user to convey what the user wants and User interface interaction (for example, by indicating to the device that the user is going to interact with the user interface component). For example, when a press input is detected on a touch-sensitive surface (for example, a touchpad or a touch screen), the position of the focus selector (for example, cursor, contact or selection box) above the respective button It will indicate that the user is about to activate the individual buttons (as opposed to other user interface elements shown on the display of the device).

As used in the specification and the scope of the patent application, the term "characteristic intensity" of contact refers to the characteristic of contact based on one or more intensities of contact. In some embodiments, the feature intensity is based on multiple intensity samples. The feature intensity is based on a predefined number of intensity samples as appropriate, or relative to a predefined event (for example, after detecting a contact, before detecting the lift of the contact, before or after detecting the start of the movement of the contact , Before detecting the end of the contact, before or after detecting the increase in the intensity of the contact, and/or A collection of intensity samples collected during a predetermined time period (e.g., 0.05 seconds, 0.1 seconds, 0.2 seconds, 0.5 seconds, 1 second, 2 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds) before or after the measured contact intensity decreases. The characteristic intensity of contact is based on one or more of the following as appropriate: the maximum value of the contact intensity, the mean value of the contact intensity, the average value of the contact intensity, the top 10 percentile value of the contact intensity, The value at half of the maximum value of the contact strength, 90% of the maximum value of the contact strength, or the like. In some embodiments, the duration of the contact is used to determine the characteristic intensity (for example, when the characteristic intensity is the average of the intensity of the contact over time). In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is compared with a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether the user has performed an operation. For example, a set of one or more intensity thresholds may include a first intensity threshold and a second intensity threshold. In this example, a contact with a characteristic intensity that does not exceed the first threshold value results in a first operation, and a contact with a characteristic intensity that exceeds the first intensity threshold value and does not exceed the second intensity threshold value results in a second operation, And contact with a characteristic intensity exceeding the second threshold value results in the third operation. In some embodiments, the comparison between the feature strength and one or more threshold values is used to determine whether to perform one or more operations (for example, whether to perform a separate operation or abandon the execution of the separate operation), rather than using To determine whether to perform the first operation or the second operation.

In some embodiments, a part of the gesture is recognized for the purpose of determining the strength of the feature. For example, the touch-sensitive surface can receive continuous sliding contact that shifts from the starting position and reaches the end position. At this time, the contact intensity increases. In this example, the characteristic strength of the contact at the end position may be based only on a part of the continuous sliding contact instead of the entire sliding contact (for example, only the part of the sliding contact at the end position). In some embodiments, before determining the characteristic strength of the contact, a smoothing algorithm can be applied to the strength of the sliding contact. For example, the smoothing algorithm includes one or more of the following as appropriate: unweighted moving average smoothing algorithm, triangle smoothing algorithm, median filter smoothing algorithm, and/or exponential smoothing algorithm. In some cases, these smoothing algorithms eliminate narrow spikes or sudden drops in the strength of slip contacts for the purpose of determining the strength of features.

The intensity of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface can be characterized with respect to one or more intensity thresholds, such as the contact detection intensity threshold, the shallow compression intensity threshold, and the deep compression intensity threshold Value and/or one or more other intensity thresholds. In some embodiments, the shallow press intensity threshold corresponds to the intensity at which the device will perform an operation normally associated with clicking a button of a physical mouse or trackpad. In some embodiments, the deep-press intensity threshold corresponds to the intensity of the operation that the device will perform, which are different from the operations normally associated with clicking a button on a physical mouse or trackpad. In some embodiments, when it is detected that a contact is lower than the shallow pressing intensity threshold (for example, and higher than the nominal contact detection intensity threshold, below the nominal contact detection intensity threshold, no When the characteristic intensity of contact) is detected again, the device will move the focus selector according to the movement of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface without performing operations associated with the shallow or deep pressing intensity threshold . Generally speaking, unless otherwise stated, the intensity thresholds are consistent between different sets of user interface schemas.

The characteristic intensity of contact increases from an intensity below the shallow compression intensity threshold to an intensity between the shallow compression intensity threshold and the deep compression intensity threshold, sometimes referred to as "shallow compression" input. The characteristic intensity of contact that increases from an intensity below the deep-press intensity threshold to an intensity above the deep-press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as "deep-press" input. The characteristic intensity of the contact increases from the intensity below the contact detection intensity threshold to the intensity between the contact detection intensity threshold and the shallow press intensity threshold, sometimes referred to as the detection of the touch on the touch surface. contact. The decrease in the characteristic intensity of the contact from the intensity above the threshold of the contact detection intensity to the intensity below the threshold of the contact detection intensity is sometimes referred to as detecting the lifting of the touch 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 are executed in response to detecting a gesture including a respective pressing input or in response to detecting a respective pressing input performed with respective contacts (or multiple contacts) Operation, which is based at least in part on the detection of a contact (or multiple The intensity of contact) is increased above the threshold of the pressing input intensity to detect each pressing input. In some embodiments, each operation is performed in response to detecting that the intensity of each individual contact has increased above the pressing input intensity threshold (for example, "swipe down" for each individual pressing input). In some embodiments, the pressing input includes increasing the intensity of the individual contacts above the pressing input intensity threshold and then decreasing the intensity of the contacts below the pressing input intensity threshold, and in response to detecting the intensity of the individual contacts thereafter Decrease below the input threshold to perform individual operations (for example, "swipe up" for individual input).

In some embodiments, the device uses intensity hysteresis to avoid accidental input sometimes referred to as "jitter", in which the device defines or selects a hysteresis intensity threshold that has a predefined relationship with the pressure input intensity threshold (for example, hysteresis intensity). The threshold value is X intensity units lower than the compression input intensity threshold, or the hysteresis intensity threshold is 75%, 90% or some reasonable ratio of the compression input intensity threshold). Therefore, in some embodiments, the pressing input includes increasing the intensity of the individual contacts above the pressing input intensity threshold and then decreasing the intensity of the contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to the pressing input intensity threshold, and responding When the intensity of the individual contact is detected and then drops below the hysteresis intensity threshold, the individual operations are performed (for example, the "swipe up" of the individual pressing input). Similarly, in some embodiments, only when the device detects that the intensity of the contact increases from the intensity at or below the hysteresis intensity threshold to the intensity at or above the pressure input intensity threshold and the intensity of the contact as appropriate Then the pressing input is detected when the intensity is lowered to or below the hysteresis intensity, and each is executed in response to detecting the pressing input (for example, depending on the situation, the intensity of contact increases or the intensity of contact decreases) operating.

For ease of explanation, the description of an operation performed in response to a pressing input associated with a pressing input intensity threshold or in response to a gesture that includes a pressing input is triggered as appropriate in response to detecting any of the following: The intensity increases above the threshold of pressing input intensity; the intensity of contact increases from the intensity below the threshold of hysteresis intensity to the intensity above the threshold of pressing input intensity; the intensity of contact decreases below the threshold of pressing input intensity; and / Or the intensity of the contact decreases below the hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to the threshold of the pressing input intensity. In addition, in the case where the operation is described as being performed in response to the detection of the contact intensity being reduced below the pressing input intensity threshold, the response to the detection of the contact intensity being reduced to correspond to and below the pressing input intensity threshold If the hysteresis intensity of the value is below the threshold value, the operation will be performed as appropriate.

In some embodiments, the downloaded application program becomes the installed application program by means of an installation program that extracts the program part from the downloaded package and integrates the extracted part with the operating system of the computer system.

As used herein, the term "open application" or "execute application" refers to a software application with reserved state information (for example, as part of the device/global internal state 157 and/or the application internal state 192). The open or running application can be any of the following types of applications: ˙Active application, which is currently displayed on the display screen of the device, and the application is being used on the device; ˙Background application (or Background processing procedures), which are not currently displayed, but one or more processing procedures of the application are being processed by one or more processors; and ˙Suspended or hibernated applications, which are not running but are stored in memory The state information in the memory (volatile memory and non-volatile memory, respectively) that can be used to resume the execution of the application.

As used herein, the term "close application" refers to a software application that does not retain state information (for example, the state information used to close the application is not stored in the memory of the device). Therefore, closing the application includes terminating and/or removing the application processing procedure for the application and removing the status information for the application from the device's memory. In general, opening the second application while in the first application does not close The first application. When the second application is displayed and the display of the first application is stopped, the first application becomes a background application.

Attention will now be directed to the user interface ("UI") and associated processing procedures, which can be implemented on multifunctional devices with displays and touch-sensitive surfaces (such as devices 100, 300, and/or 500 (FIG. 1A, FIG. 3A and/or Figure 5A)) to provide lap time display, time scale adjustment and timer setting functionality.

1. Indicates the lap time

Multifunctional devices such as devices 100, 300, and/or 500 (FIG. 1A, FIG. 3A, and/or FIG. 5A) can provide various code table functionality. Some of these functionalities, as appropriate, include tracking the amount of time that has elapsed since a specified moment (for example, since the selection of the "Start" button), tracking one or more lap times, and any other functionality that can be associated with a stopwatch. The embodiments described below are aimed at multifunctional devices that provide such code table functionality.

FIG. 6A illustrates an exemplary electronic device 600 and an exemplary associated user interface. The electronic device 600 may be any of the devices 100, 300, and/or 500 (FIG. 1A, FIG. 3A, and/or FIG. 5A). In the illustrated embodiment, the device 600 is a wearable device. In some embodiments, the device 600 provides one or more stopwatch functionalities, one of which can represent a lap time. The device 600 displays one or more user interfaces for indicating the lap time as appropriate.

The user interface displayed by the device 600 in FIG. 6A includes a digital code table representation 602 as appropriate. Represents a digit code table 602 optionally includes a part (leftmost portion) minute, second part (intermediate portion) and 1/10 ^th second part (the rightmost portion), it is to be understood that the digital code table 602 may be represented by Have any suitable structure. The digital display 602 displays the total time that has elapsed after selecting the "Start" button 604 as appropriate. In some embodiments, the user interface includes a button 606, which may be inactive before the button 604 is selected, as will be described in more detail below.

In the illustrated embodiment, button 604 has been selected by finger 608. It should be understood that although Although the embodiments of the present invention can be described as including finger interaction (for example, selecting a user interface button with a finger), the scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any appropriate interaction with the user interface of the present invention is within the scope of the present invention, including interaction with objects such as stylus pens. In addition, it should be understood that the user interface input elements (for example, buttons) can be replaced by physical input elements while remaining within the scope of the present invention.

FIG. 6B illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by the device 600 in response to detecting a selection of the button 604 used to start the timing of the digital display 602. The button 604 changes from the "start" button to the "stop" button as appropriate, and the selection of the "stop" button terminates the timing of the digital display 602 as appropriate. In addition, the button 606 becomes active as a "single lap" button depending on the situation, and the selection of the "single lap" button depicts and defines a lap time and another lap time according to the situation. The details will be further described below.

The lap time indicator 610 is displayed in the user interface as appropriate in response to the selection of the button 604 in FIG. 6A. The lap time indicator 610 optionally represents a lap (in this case, the first lap after the selection of the button 604 in FIG. 6A, as indicated by the lap number indicator 612). Although the lap time indicator 610 is illustrated as a dot, it should be understood that any suitable user interface element can be used to represent a lap (eg, square, triangle, etc.) according to embodiments of the present invention. Over time, the lap time indicator 610 moves along a designated axis in the user interface as appropriate. For example, the lap time indicator 610 moves vertically in the user interface over time as appropriate; however, it should be understood that within the scope of the present invention, the lap time indicator 610 can be moved along any other axis in the user interface. Move in any other direction.

FIG. 6C illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by the device 600 after 25 seconds have passed since the selection of the button 604 in FIG. 6A. The digital display 602 reflects the total elapsed time of 25 seconds.

The lap time represents the amount of time that has elapsed since the selection of the button 604 in FIG. 6A (that is, according to 25 seconds) as appropriate to move vertically in the user interface. Although the lap time indicator 610 has been described as directly moving from its initial position to its current position, it should be understood that the lap time indicator 610 moves in a continuous manner in the user interface depending on the elapse of time. move. For example, at the point in time 12.5 seconds have passed since the selection of the button 604 in FIG. 6A, the lap time representation 610 is located at its initial position (in FIG. 6B) and its current position (in FIG. 6C) as appropriate. At the middle point.

FIG. 6D illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by the device 600 after 35 seconds have passed since the selection of the button 604 in FIG. 6A. The digital display 602 reflects the total elapsed time of 35 seconds. The lap time indicates that 610 has moved further vertically in the user interface as appropriate according to the additional 10 seconds that have passed since FIG. 6C. In addition, the "single lap" button 606 has been selected to define the end of the first lap.

FIG. 6E illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by the device 600 after the selection of the button 606 in FIG. 6D. In response to the selection of the button 606 in FIG. 6D, the lap time display 610 terminates the vertical movement in the user interface as appropriate, because the selection definition of the button 606 in 6D is associated with the lap time display 610 as appropriate The end of a lap (ie, the first lap). In addition, the lap time indicator 614 (which optionally corresponds to the second lap as indicated by the lap number indicator 616) is displayed in the user interface as appropriate. The lap time indicator 614 is optionally displayed in the user interface at the same initial vertical position as the initial vertical position of the lap time indicator 610 in FIG. 6B.

In order to allow the lap time display 614 and the lap number display 616 to be displayed in the user interface, the lap time display 610 and the lap number display 612 respond to the selection of the button 606 in Figure 6D as appropriate in the user interface. The ground moves to the left (that is, in the direction orthogonal to the vertical axis). In some embodiments, the horizontal movement of the lap time indicator 610 and the lap number indicator 612 are animated as appropriate. In addition, the lap time display 610 and the lap time display 614 are connected by a line 618 as appropriate. It should be understood that in some embodiments, the lap time indicator (for example, the lap time indicator 610) is initially displayed on the left side of the user interface, and the additional lap time indicator is added to its right, where In the embodiment, when a new lap time representation is added to the user interface (except when the horizontal space in the user interface becomes completely filled with the lap time representation (in this case, the earlier lap time representation is Shift as appropriate Leaving the user interface, but can respond to any appropriate input for scrolling to return to the view outside), the existing lap time representation (as appropriate) does not need to move horizontally.

6F illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by the device 600 after 20 seconds have passed since the selection of the button 606 in FIG. 6E (and after 55 seconds have passed since the selection of the button 604 in FIG. 6A). The digital display 602 reflects the total elapsed time of 55 seconds since the selection of the button 604 in FIG. 6A. As previously discussed, the lap time indicator 610 is optionally located at the same vertical position as in FIG. 6E, because the lap associated with the lap time indicator 610 (that is, the first lap) has been defined and set as appropriate Lap time.

The lap time indicator 614 moves vertically in the user interface according to the 20 seconds elapsed from the selection of the button 606 in FIG. 6E as appropriate. Lap time indicator 614 optionally moves in a manner similar to that described previously with respect to lap time indicator 610. The line 618 continues to connect the lap time indicator 610 and the lap time indicator 614 as appropriate.

6G illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by the device 600 after 25 seconds have passed since the selection of button 606 in FIG. 6E (and after 60 seconds have passed since the selection of button 604 in FIG. 6A). The digital display 602 reflects the total elapsed time of 60 seconds (ie, one minute) since the selection of the button 604 in FIG. 6A. The lap time indicator 614 moves further vertically in the user interface as appropriate according to the additional 5 seconds that have passed since FIG. 6F. In addition, the "single lap" button 606 has been selected by the finger 608.

FIG. 6H illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by the device 600 after the selection of the button 606 in FIG. 6G. Similar to the previous description with respect to FIG. 6E, in response to the selection of the button 606 in FIG. 6G, the lap time indicator 614 terminates the vertical movement in the user interface as appropriate, because the selection of the button 606 in FIG. 6G has been selected as appropriate Define the end of the lap associated with the lap time representation 614 (ie, the second lap). In addition, a lap time indicator 620 (which optionally corresponds to the third lap as indicated by its corresponding lap number indicator) is displayed in the user interface as appropriate. The lap time indicator 620 is optionally displayed in the user interface at the same initial vertical position as the lap time indicator 610 in FIG. 6B and the lap time indicator 614 in FIG. 6E. In addition, the lap time shows 614 and the lap timetable The display 620 is connected by wire as appropriate.

As mentioned earlier, in order to allow the lap time display 620 and its corresponding lap number display to be displayed in the user interface, the lap time display 610 and its corresponding lap number display and the lap time display 614 and its corresponding lap The number indicates that the response to the selection of the button 606 in FIG. 6G moves horizontally to the left in the user interface as appropriate.

Because all lap times have been defined for the first lap and the second lap, it is determined according to the situation and the average lap time is displayed in the user interface. The average lap time is the average lap time of all fully defined laps since the selection of the "start" button 604 in FIG. 6A as appropriate. The average lap time is indicated by the average lap time indicator 622 in the user interface as appropriate, and the indicator is optionally at the vertical position corresponding to the time value of the average lap time (in this case, 30 seconds) The horizontal line of the place. The average lap time indicator 622 is optionally a dashed line, as illustrated. In the illustrated embodiment, the average lap time indicator 622 is positioned between the lap time indication 610 and the lap time indication 614, because the average lap time of 30 seconds is between 35 seconds (and the lap time Indicates the lap time associated with 610) and 25 seconds (the lap time associated with lap time 614).

FIG. 6I illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by the device 600 when the lap time indicator 620 has reached the maximum time on the time scale 626 in the user interface. The digital display 602 reflects the total elapsed time 110 seconds (that is, one minute and 50 seconds) after the selection of the button 604 in FIG. 6A. The user interface optionally has a time scale 626 that can display the minimum and maximum lap times. For example, the time scale 626 may display the minimum lap time of 0 seconds and the maximum lap time of 50 seconds as appropriate. The time scale 626 is the same time scale as in FIGS. 6A to 6H as appropriate, but it is easy to describe and not explained. In the embodiment of FIG. 61, the lap time indicates that 620 has moved from its initial position (for example, continuously moving) to a position corresponding to 50 seconds (the maximum lap time displayed by the time scale 626).

In some embodiments, the time scale 626 changes as the time continues to elapse and as the lap time indicator 620 continues to change to correspond to a lap time longer than 50 seconds. In some embodiments, the time scale 626 optionally does not change until the lap associated with the lap time indication 620 is sufficiently defined (for example, by the selection of the "lap" button), as will be described below.

6J illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by the device 600 when the lap time indication 620 has exceeded the maximum time on the time scale 626 in the user interface. In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 6J, the time scale 626 depends on the situation until the lap associated with the lap time indication 620 is fully defined (for example, by the selection of the "lap" button), as described above Mentioned. Thus, although 20 seconds have passed since the time illustrated in FIG. 6I (as indicated by the total elapsed time of 130 seconds (that is, two minutes and 10 seconds) in the digital display 602), the lap time represents 620 does not appear to move further vertically in the user interface because the lap time indicates that 620 has exceeded the maximum lap time that can be displayed on the time scale 626 as appropriate. As explained, the "single lap" button 606 has been selected by the finger 608.

FIG. 6K illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by the device 600 after the selection of the button 606 in FIG. 6J. Similar to the previous description, the lap time indicator and its corresponding lap number indicator have moved horizontally to the left in the user interface to allow the lap time indicator 624 and its corresponding lap number indicator to be displayed. In addition, based on the fully defined lap time of 35 seconds (for the first lap), 25 seconds (for the second lap), and 70 seconds (for the third lap), the average lap time has been re-determined as 43.3 second. The average lap time indicator 622 reflects the average lap time of 43.3 seconds.

In addition, the time scale 626 has been adjusted to allow the display of all fully defined lap times. For example, the time scale 626 is optionally adjusted to have a maximum lap time that is greater than any well-defined lap time. In the illustrated embodiment, the time scale 626 has been adjusted to display a minimum lap time of 0 seconds and a maximum lap time of 90 seconds. Optionally, the vertical positioning of the lap time indication and the average lap time indicator 622 is adjusted according to the adjusted time scale 626 so as to be appropriately positioned in the user interface relative to the adjusted time scale 626.

At any point in FIGS. 6B to 6K, the user may wish to view a list of lap times other than the lap time representation as discussed above. In some embodiments, the lap time list is displayed in response to the detection of a designated input at the device 600 (for example, a designated input on the touch-sensitive surface of the device 600) as appropriate. 6L illustrates an exemplary input detected at the device 600 for displaying a lap time list associated with the lap time representation displayed in the user interface. In the illustrated embodiment, the vertical sliding by the finger 608 has been detected on the touch-sensitive surface of the device 600. The vertical slip can be detected at any position on the touch-sensitive surface of the device 600.

FIG. 6M illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by the device 600 after the detection of the vertical slip in FIG. 6L. In response to the vertical slip detected by the device 600 in FIG. 6L, the display area of the lap time display is reduced as appropriate to allow the lap time list 628 to be displayed in the user interface. These smaller lap times represent the lap time representation 630 that has been described as reduced in size. In some embodiments, when a vertical slip is detected on the touch-sensitive surface of the device 600, the reduction of the display area represented by the lap time is performed. As mentioned above, the user interface also includes a lap time list 628. The lap time in the lap time list 628 optionally corresponds to the lap time represented by the previously discussed lap time representation and the reduced lap time representation 630. The lap time list 628 includes the number of each lap and the time of each lap as appropriate. The lap time list 628 can scroll up and down vertically in response to a vertical sliding gesture detected on the touch-sensitive surface of the device 600. The user interface illustrated in FIG. 6M thus allows the user to view the lap time as a lap time display (reduced lap time display 630) and a list (lap time list 628).

The device 600 can display various code table views as appropriate. In addition, the user can switch between various code table views in response to the designated input for switching operations at the device 600 as appropriate (for example, in response to the designated gesture detected at the device 600, and in response to the designated mechanical input at the device. The detection, etc. are selected from the menu bar including the code table view list). In some instances, in response to the touch-sensitive surface included in the device 600 (sometimes the touch-sensitive surface of the device) The input of the touch detected on any place on the surface displays the function table or selection of the stopwatch view as appropriate, and the touch has a characteristic intensity greater than the intensity threshold. When switching between various code table views, save code table data as appropriate. That is, when switching between stopwatch views, the data about the number of laps recorded so far, the lap time associated with each lap, the average lap time, and the length of the current lap will be included as appropriate. , The total duration of all laps and any other information about the laps as discussed above are stored on the device 600. Therefore, different code table views can (possibly) access and/or present stored data in different ways.

The embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 6A to 6M is optionally associated with the first code table view (for example, the chart code table view). FIG. 6N illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by the device 600 for displaying the lap time in a second stopwatch view (for example, an analog stopwatch view). The user may have switched from the chart stopwatch view to the analog stopwatch view, but this need not be the case (for example, the user might have started timing in the analog stopwatch view). The user interface in the analog clock view of FIG. 6N optionally includes an analog clock dial 632, which has a time scale of 0 to 60 seconds and a pointer 634 to indicate the current on the time scale of 0 to 60 seconds. Lap time. The analog clock dial 632 is optionally used to track the number of seconds elapsed in the current lap. The analog clock dial 638 has a time scale of 0 to 30 minutes as appropriate and is used to track the number of minutes elapsed in the current lap as appropriate. The combination of the analog clock dial 638 and the analog clock dial 632 may be used as appropriate to track the lap time within 60 seconds. For example, to display a lap time of one minute and 30 seconds, the analog clock dial 638 displays the time of one minute as appropriate, and the analog clock dial 632 displays the time of 30 seconds as appropriate. It should be understood that the time scales of 0 to 60 seconds for the analog clock dial 632 and 0 to 30 minutes for the analog clock dial 638 are only exemplary, and they do not limit the scope of the present invention.

The user interface in FIG. 6N also optionally includes a digital code table representation 636 for displaying the current lap time digitally. Digital code table representation 636 includes minutes part (leftmost part), seconds part (middle part) and 1/10 ^th second part (rightmost part) as appropriate, but it should be understood that it is used for digital code table representation Different structures of 636 are possible. The selection and definition of the "single lap" button 606 is similar to the single lap described previously with reference to FIGS. 6A to 6M as appropriate.

As mentioned above, the user may wish to view a list of lap times other than the analog lap time representation as discussed above. In some embodiments, the lap time list is displayed in response to the detection of a designated input at the device 600 (for example, a designated input on the touch-sensitive surface of the device 600) as appropriate. FIG. 60 illustrates an exemplary input detected at the device 600 for displaying the lap time list that has been drawn and defined by the selection of the "lap" button 606. As previously mentioned, in the illustrated embodiment, the vertical sliding by the finger 608 has been detected on the touch-sensitive surface of the device 600. The vertical slip can be detected at any position on the touch-sensitive surface of the device 600.

FIG. 6P illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by the device 600 after the detection of the vertical slip in FIG. 60. In response to the vertical slip detected by the device 600 in FIG. 60, the display area of the analog clock dial 632 and/or 638 is reduced as appropriate to allow the display of the lap time list 628. The reduced-size analog clock dials 632 and 638 are displayed in the upper area 642 of the user interface as appropriate. The analog clock dials 632 and 638 retain the same time scale as in FIGS. 6N to 60 as appropriate. Optionally, an additional analog clock dial 640 is added to the area 642 of the user interface. The analog clock dial 640 optionally has a time scale of 0 to 1 second in units of 1/10 ^th of a second. The analog clock dial 640 is optionally used to track the tenth of a second passed in the current lap. In some embodiments, the reduction of the display area of the analog clock dial 632 and/or 638 and the addition of the analog clock dial 640 are performed when vertical sliding is detected on the touch-sensitive surface of the device 600. It should be understood that the time scale of 0 to 1 second used for the analog clock dial 640 is only exemplary, and it does not limit the scope of the present invention.

The user interface also includes a lap time list 628 as appropriate. The lap time list 628 includes the number of each lap and the time of each lap as appropriate. The lap time list 628 can respond to vertical sliding gestures detected on the touch-sensitive surface of the device 600 up and down Scroll vertically down. The user interface illustrated in FIG. 6P thus allows the user to view the current lap time as an analog lap time representation (in area 642), and allows the user to view the lap time list (lap time list 628).

As described above, the embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 6A to 6M is optionally associated with the first code table view (for example, the chart code table view), and the embodiment described with reference to FIGS. 6N to 6P is optionally associated with the second code Table views (for example, analog code table views) are associated. FIG. 6Q illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by the device 600 for displaying the lap time in a third code table view (eg, a mixed code table view). The mixed code table view can include the chart code table view and the analog code table view. The reduced lap time display 630 can display the lap time recorded so far, including the current lap time, as discussed above with respect to FIGS. 6A to 6M. The analog clock dial 642 can display the current lap time, as discussed above with respect to FIGS. 6N to 6P. Finally, the digital code meter indicates that the 636 can display the current lap time digitally.

In some embodiments, the unit of the digital code table 636 is spatially aligned with the unit of the analog clock dial 642. That is, the leftmost dial of the analog clock dial 642 displays the number of minutes depending on the situation, just like the leftmost part of the digital code table 636; the middle dial of the analog clock dial 642 displays the number of seconds depending on the situation, such as the digital code table. as an intermediate portion 636; and analog timepiece 642 of the disc tray rightmost timepiece optionally one second display 1/10 ^th, such as digital code table as represented by the right-most portion 636.

It should be noted that although FIGS. 6A to 6Q illustrate various user interfaces of device 600, the described technology can be extended to cover other devices, such as devices 100, 300, and/or 500 (FIGS. 1A, 3A, and 5A). That is, various electronic devices can display the user interface described in FIGS. 6A to 6Q. For the sake of brevity, these details are not explicitly discussed here. In addition, it should be understood that the user interface and the sequence of operations described with reference to FIGS. 6A to 6Q are only exemplary, and they do not limit the scope of the present invention. For example, the vertical slip in FIG. 6L may alternatively have been entered in FIG. 6F to similarly display the lap time list.

2. Adjust the time scale

Multifunctional devices such as devices 100, 300, and/or 500 (FIG. 1A, FIG. 3A, and/or FIG. 5A) can provide various timing or stopwatch functionality. As part of these functionality, these devices can display timing elements with certain time scales. The user can adjust the time scale of the timing element in various ways. The embodiment described below is directed to a multifunctional device that can adjust the time scale of the timing element by the user.

FIG. 7A illustrates an exemplary electronic device 700 and an exemplary associated user interface. The electronic device 700 may be any of the devices 100, 300, and/or 500 (FIG. 1A, FIG. 3A, and/or FIG. 5A). In the illustrated embodiment, the device 700 is a wearable device. In some embodiments, the device 700 provides one or more code table functionality, one of which may be adjusting the time scale represented by the code table (for example, adjusting the time scale represented by the analog code table, adjusting the time scale The time scale indicated by the digital code table, etc.). The device 700 displays one or more user interfaces for adjusting such time scales as appropriate.

The user interface displayed by the device 700 in FIG. 7A optionally includes an analog code table representation 702 for indicating the current lap time. The analog code table indicates that 702 optionally has a designated time scale (in this case, 0 to 60 seconds) and optionally includes a pointer 704, which is positioned relative to the designated time scale according to the current lap time as appropriate. In the illustrated embodiment, the pointer 704 is positioned on the time scale corresponding to 5 seconds (the duration of the current lap).

The analog code table representation 702 also includes the analog code table representation 706 as appropriate. The analog code table representation 706 optionally has a time scale that is different from the analog code table representation 702 used to represent the current lap time. For example, the analog code table indicates a time scale of 0 to 30 minutes as appropriate (for ease of description without explanation). The time scales provided for the analog code table representations 702 and 706 are only exemplary, and they do not limit the scope of the present invention.

The user may wish to adjust the time scale of the analog code table indication 702 and/or the analog code table indication 706. The adjustment of the above-mentioned time scale can be realized in response to the detection of a designated input at the device 700. For example, the rotation input of the rotatable input mechanism 701 on the device 700 allows adjustment of the time scale of the analog code table indication 702 and/or the analog code table indication 706 as appropriate. In the picture In the embodiment illustrated in 7A, the finger 708 is providing rotational input to the rotatable input mechanism 701.

FIG. 7B illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by the device 700 when a rotation input is detected at the rotatable input mechanism 701 in FIG. 7A. The finger 708 can continue to provide rotation input at the rotatable input mechanism 701 in FIG. 7B. The amount of rotation input detected at the rotatable input mechanism 701 so far corresponds to the time scale used to change the analog code table 702 from 0 to 60 seconds (in FIG. 7A) to 0 to 45 seconds (in FIG. 7B). In) input volume. In response to the rotation input detected so far, the analog code table indicates that the time scale of 702 changes depending on the rotation input when the rotation input is detected. For example, the time scale shown in FIG. 7A depends on the fact that when a rotation input is detected at the rotatable input mechanism 701, it is "stretched" (for example, shifted in a cyclic manner) from the rotation input amount and the time scale. The quantity defined by the corresponding relationship of the quantity. For example, one-half rotation of the rotatable input mechanism 701 may correspond to increasing or decreasing the time scale by 50%.

In combination with the analog code table indicating the change of the time scale of 702, the position of the pointer 704 relative to the updated time scale is updated as appropriate to maintain the correspondence between the position of the pointer 704 and the current lap time (in this case, 5 seconds).

In some embodiments, the time scale of the analog code table representation 706 is similarly updated in response to the detection of the rotation input at the rotatable input mechanism 701 as appropriate. In some embodiments, the time scale of the analog code table representation 706 is updated simultaneously with the update of the time scale of the analog code table representation 702 (for ease of description without explanation). For example, in the illustrated embodiment, the time scale of the analog code table 706 can be changed from 0 to 30 minutes (in FIG. 7A) to 0 based on the amount of rotation input detected at the rotatable input mechanism 701. To 22.5 minutes (in Figure 7B).

FIG. 7C illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by the device 700 after the rotation input detected at the rotatable input mechanism 701 in FIG. 7B is stopped. In some embodiments, after the rotation input at the rotatable input mechanism 701 stops, the analog code table indicates 702 and/or The time scale of 706 remains in its last state when the rotation input was last detected. For example, in the illustrated embodiment, the rotation input is terminated when the analog code table indicates that the time scale of 702 has become 0 to 45 seconds. Thus, in some embodiments, the time scale of the analog code table representation 702 remains at 0 to 45 seconds after the rotation input detected at the rotatable input mechanism 701 stops. Optionally, after the rotation input detected at the rotatable input mechanism 701 stops, the time scale of the analog code table representation 706 is similarly maintained (not illustrated for ease of description).

FIG. 7D illustrates an alternative exemplary user interface presented by the device 700 after the rotation input detected at the rotatable input mechanism 701 in FIG. 7B is stopped. In some embodiments, after the rotation input at the rotatable input mechanism 701 stops, the analog code table indicates that the time scales of 702 and/or 706 "snap" to the direction corresponding to the rotation input (for example, rotation Input whether to increase or decrease the time scale of 702 and/or 706 (the time scale of 702 and/or 706) which is the closest to the predefined time scale.

For example, the analog code table indicates that 702 is associated with four predefined time scales as appropriate: 0 to 60 seconds, 0 to 30 seconds, 0 to 6 seconds, and 0 to 3 seconds; similarly, the analog code table indicates 706 Depending on the situation, it is associated with four pre-defined time scales: 0 to 30 minutes, 0 to 15 minutes, 0 to 3 minutes, and 0 to 2 minutes. When the rotation input is terminated at the rotatable input mechanism 701, the analog code table indicates that the time scale of 702 is "snap" to 0 to 30 seconds instead of being held at 0 to 45 seconds (as illustrated in Figure 7D). Because 0 to 45 seconds is not one of the four predefined time scales associated with the analog code table representation 702 as appropriate, and because 0 to 30 seconds optionally corresponds to the direction of rotation input (the analog code table representation 702 is Reduction of the time scale). Optionally, the position of the updated pointer 704 corresponding to the “snap” of the time scale indicated by the analog code table 702 is also updated. Although it is not explained, it should be understood that the analog code table indicates that the time scale of 706 is also "fitted" to the predefined time scale as appropriate. It should be understood that the provided predefined time scale is only illustrative and does not limit the scope of the present invention.

It should be noted that although FIGS. 7A to 7D illustrate various user interfaces of the device 700, the described technology can be extended to cover other devices, such as devices 100, 300, and/or 500 (FIG. 1A, Figure 3A and Figure 5A). That is, various electronic devices can display the user interface described in FIGS. 7A to 7D. For the sake of brevity, these details are not explicitly discussed here.

3. Set the timer duration

Multifunctional devices such as devices 100, 300, and/or 500 (FIG. 1A, FIG. 3A, and/or FIG. 5A) can provide various timing functionality. As part of these functionality, these devices can provide a countdown timer to set a countdown from the specified current duration. The user can adjust the current duration setting in various ways. The embodiment described below is directed to a multifunctional device whose current duration setting of the timer can be adjusted by the user.

FIG. 8A illustrates an exemplary electronic device 800 and an exemplary associated user interface. The electronic device 800 may be any of the devices 100, 300, and/or 500 (FIG. 1A, FIG. 3A, and/or FIG. 5A). In the illustrated embodiment, the device 800 is a wearable device. In some embodiments, the device 800 provides one or more timer functionality, one of which may be to set the timer duration. The device 800 displays one or more user interfaces for setting the timer duration as appropriate.

The user interface displayed by the device 800 in FIG. 8A includes a timer representation with an analog representation 802 and a digital representation 806 as appropriate. The analogy means that 802 has a designated time scale as appropriate (in this case, 0 to 12 hours), and includes a setting for representing the current duration on the designated time scale (in this case, five hours and 30 minutes) The current duration indicator 804. In some embodiments, the current duration indicator 804 represents the value of the specified unit (in this case, the number of hours) corresponding to the current duration setting of the unit of the analog representation 802 on the time scale. In some embodiments, the current duration indicator 804 represents the entire current duration setting; in these embodiments, the current duration indicator 804 will be positioned between 5 and 6 on the time scale of the analog representation 802 as appropriate. It is set to indicate the current duration of 5 hours and 30 minutes.

The digital representation 806 optionally includes the hour part of the hour unit used to represent the current duration setting (in this case, 5 hours) and the current duration setting (In this case, 30 minutes) The minute part of the minute unit. It should be understood that other structures for the digital representation 806 are possible. The analog representation 802 and the digital representation 806 indicate the current duration setting in a cooperative manner as appropriate (for example, if the current duration setting changes, both the digital representation 806 and the analog representation 802 are updated as appropriate to reflect the change).

The user interface in FIG. 8A also optionally includes a button 807 for counting down from the current duration setting and a button 809 for resetting the countdown to the initial current duration setting value.

The user may wish to adjust the current duration setting of the analog display 802 and/or the digital display 806. The adjustment of the current duration setting can be realized in response to the detection of the specified input at the device 800. For example, the rotation input of the rotatable input mechanism 801 on the device 800 allows the adjustment of the current duration setting as appropriate.

8B illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by the device 800 when a rotation input is detected at the rotatable input mechanism 801. The finger 808 provides rotation input to the rotatable input mechanism 801 according to the situation. In response to the rotation input, the current duration setting is changed according to the rotation input as appropriate. In the illustrated embodiment, the rotary input has reduced the current duration from 5 hours and 30 minutes to four hours and 30 minutes. Optionally, the digital display 806 reflects the updated current duration setting. Depending on the situation, the changing position of the current duration indicator 804 on the analogy representation 802 reflects the updated current duration setting. As illustrated, the current duration indicator 804 has moved from position 5 to position 4 on the time scale of the analog representation 802 according to the rotation input. In some embodiments, the current duration indicator 804 is moved when a rotation input is detected.

In some embodiments, before the rotation input is supplied at the rotatable input mechanism 801, the user may specify which unit of the current duration setting will be changed by the rotation input as appropriate. FIG. 8C illustrates the user's designation of the hour unit for setting the current duration of the subsequent rotation input detected by the rotatable input mechanism 801. As mentioned earlier, the digital representation 806 has an hour part 810 and a minute part 811 as appropriate. Optional or refer to One of the two parts represented by a fixed number specifies which unit (for example, hour or minute unit) set by the current duration will be changed by the subsequent rotation input detected at the rotatable input mechanism 801 . For example, the hour portion 810 (as illustrated) can be selected to specify the hour unit that will change the current duration setting by the subsequent rotation input detected at the rotatable input mechanism 801. Alternatively, the minutes portion 811 can be selected to specify the minutes unit in which the current duration setting will be changed by the subsequent rotation input detected at the rotatable input mechanism 801. As illustrated, the finger 808 has selected the hour portion 810 of the digital representation 806.

FIG. 8D illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by the device 800 after the selection of the hour portion 810 in FIG. 8C. In response to the selection of the hour portion 810, a visual prompt is displayed in the user interface as appropriate to indicate that the hour portion 810 has been selected. For example, the hour portion 810 is highlighted, starts to flash, or is displayed within the boundary as appropriate (or any other visual cue is provided to indicate the selection of the hour portion 810). In the illustrated embodiment, a box 812 is displayed around the hour portion 810 to indicate its selection.

In addition, in response to the selection of the hour portion 810 as appropriate, the time scale of the analog representation 802 is updated to the time scale associated with the hour portion 810. For example, in response to the selection of the hour part 810, the time scale of the analog representation 802 is updated to 0-12 hours as appropriate. Instead of the 0-12 hour time scale, other time scales may alternatively be associated with the hour portion 810. If the analogy indicates that the time scale of 802 is 0 to 12 hours, it is not necessary to update the time scale in response to the selection of the hour part 810 (as in the case of FIG. 8D).

8E illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by the device 800 in response to the detection of the rotation input at the rotatable input mechanism 801. The finger 808 has provided a rotation input at the rotatable input mechanism 801. Because the hour portion 810 is selected, the rotation input at the rotatable input mechanism 801 can change the hour unit of the current duration setting as appropriate. The digital representation 806 reflects this change as appropriate (in this case, the change from four hours to two hours). In addition, as explained, the current duration indicator 804 is updated as appropriate to reflect the current duration setting Changes in the number of hours.

FIG. 8F illustrates the user's designation of the number of minutes unit to set the current duration of the subsequent rotation input detected by the rotatable input mechanism 801. The hour portion 810 is currently selectable, as previously discussed. As explained, the finger 808 has selected the minute portion 811 of the digital representation 806 to specify that the minute unit of the current duration setting will be changed by the subsequent rotation input detected at the rotatable input mechanism 801.

FIG. 8G illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by the device 800 after the selection of the minutes portion 811 in FIG. 8F. In response to the selection of the minutes part 811, a visual prompt is displayed in the user interface as appropriate to indicate that the minutes part 811 has been selected. For example, the minutes portion 811 may be highlighted, start to flash, or displayed within the boundary as appropriate (or provide any other visual cue to indicate the selection of the minutes portion 811). In the illustrated embodiment, a box 812 is displayed around the minutes portion 811 to indicate its selection.

In addition, as appropriate, in response to the selection of the minutes part 811, the time scale of the analog representation 802 is updated to the time scale associated with the minutes part 811. For example, as illustrated, in response to the selection of the minutes part 811, the time scale of the analog representation 802 is updated to 0-60 minutes as appropriate. Instead of a time scale of 0 to 60 minutes, other time scales may alternatively be associated with the minutes portion 811. If the analogy indicates that the time scale of 802 is 0-60 minutes, the time scale does not need to be updated to reflect the selection of the minutes part 811.

FIG. 8H illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by the device 800 in response to the detection of the rotation input at the rotatable input mechanism 801. The finger 808 has provided a rotation input at the rotatable input mechanism 801. Because the minutes part 811 is selected, the rotary input at the rotatable input mechanism 801 can change the minutes unit of the current duration setting as appropriate. The digital representation 806 reflects this change as appropriate (in this case, the change from 30 minutes to 40 minutes). In addition, as explained, the current duration indicator 804 is updated as appropriate to reflect the change in minutes unit of the current duration setting.

Figure 8I illustrates the start of the user's countdown of the timer set from the current duration. Such as As previously discussed, the selection of the button 807 starts counting down from the timer set for the current duration as appropriate. As explained, the finger 808 has selected the "start" button 807.

FIG. 8J illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by the device 800 after the selection of the "start" button 807 in FIG. 8I. The button 807 changes from the "Start" button in FIG. 8I to the "Stop" button in FIG. 8J as appropriate for terminating the timer countdown started in FIG. 8I. In addition, the digital representation 806 is updated as appropriate to reflect the elapsed time since the selection of the "start" button 807 in FIG. 8I. In the illustrated embodiment, five seconds have passed since the selection of the "start" button 807 in FIG. 8I. In addition, the current duration indicator 804 is also updated according to the situation so as to change from its position close to 40 in the time scale of analog representation 802 to its position close to 35 in the time scale of analog representation 802. Changes are described to reflect elapsed time.

Figure 8K illustrates an alternative form for the current duration indicator 804. In some embodiments, instead of dots (as illustrated in FIGS. 8A to 8J), the current duration indicator 804 is, as appropriate, an area with a filled area, which corresponds to 0 on the time scale of the analogy representation 802 The position extends to the position on the time scale of the analogy representation 802 corresponding to the value of the currently selected unit (in this case, 35 minutes) of the current duration setting. In all other aspects, the current duration indicator 804 of FIG. 8K optionally functions in a manner similar to the current duration indicator 804 of FIGS. 8A to 8J. For example, when the unit of minutes (or hours) set for the current duration changes regardless of whether it is due to the rotation input detected at the rotatable input mechanism 801 or the countdown of the timer, the current duration indicator 804 depends on the situation Expand or contract around the perimeter of the analogy representation 802.

It should be noted that although FIGS. 8A to 8K illustrate various user interfaces of device 800, the described technology can be extended to cover other devices, such as devices 100, 300, and/or 500 (FIGS. 1A, 3A, and 5A). That is, various electronic devices can display the user interface described in FIGS. 8A to 8K. For the sake of brevity, these details are not explicitly discussed here. In addition, it should be understood that the user interface and the sequence of operations described with reference to FIGS. 8A to 8K are only exemplary, and they do not limit the scope of the present invention. For example, the user is selecting and changing the data The hour portion of the digital timer display 806 may have been selected and changed before the minutes portion of the digital timer display 806.

9A to 9B are flowcharts illustrating the processing procedure 900 for representing the lap time in the user interface of the electronic device. The processing procedure 900 may be performed by electronic devices such as devices 100, 300, and/or 500 (FIG. 1A, FIG. 3A, and FIG. 5A) in various embodiments. At block 902, the electronic device displays (for example, on a touch-sensitive display) the first representation (for example, the first dot) of the first lap time in the user interface for the first time.

At block 904, the electronic device moves the first representation along a first axis (for example, a vertical axis) in the user interface according to a first amount of time elapsed from the first time, and the first amount of time corresponds to the first lap Time (eg, moving the first representation in a continuous manner along the first axis as time continues to elapse after the first time). At block 906, while moving the first representation, the electronic device detects the first single-turn input at the device at a second time (for example, detecting the selection of a single-turn button on the touch-sensitive display in the user interface ).

At block 908, in response to the first lap input, the electronic device: stops the movement of the first representation along the first axis and displays the second representation of the second lap time in the user interface at block 910 (for example , The second dot). For example, in response to the first lap input, the electronic device freezes the first representation in the user interface where the first representation is located when the first lap input is detected, and adds the second representation to user interface.

At block 912, the electronic device moves the second representation along the first axis (for example, the vertical axis) in the user interface according to the second amount of time elapsed from the second time, the second amount of time corresponds to the second lap Time (for example, moving the second representation in a continuous manner along the first axis as time continues to elapse after the second time). In some embodiments, the relative positioning of the first and second representations along the first axis corresponds to the difference between the first lap time and the second lap time. For example, in some embodiments, the second representation will be displayed below the first representation when the second lap time is less than the first lap time, and will become closer to the first lap as the second lap time Lap time moves in the direction of the first axis; when the second lap time exceeds the first lap time, the second indicator will be displayed above the first indicator and will follow the The second lap time gradually exceeds the first lap time and continues to move in the direction of the first axis.

In some embodiments, the first representation and the second representation are spaced (e.g., horizontally spaced) by a distance (e.g., a constant distance) in a direction orthogonal to the first axis in the user interface. In some embodiments, the first representation and the second representation are connected by lines in the user interface.

In some embodiments, the first representation and the second representation include a first code table view. The electronic device detects the view change input at the device according to the situation (for example, the input for switching to a different code table view on a touch-sensitive display). In response to the view change input, the electronic device displays a second code table view (for example, an analog code table view, a digital code table view, etc.) that is different from the first code table view as appropriate, and the second code table view includes information about the first code table. Information about lap time and second lap time. For example, when switching from the first stopwatch view to the second stopwatch view, information about the first lap time corresponding to the first representation and the second lap time corresponding to the second representation is stored as appropriate. The second code table view displays this information in a different manner from the first and second representations of the first code table view as appropriate. For example, the second stopwatch view is optionally a digital stopwatch view that displays the first and second lap times as part of the lap time list.

In some embodiments, the electronic device detects the lap time display input on the touch-sensitive surface of the device (for example, on the touch-sensitive display of the device), and the lap time display input includes contact on the touch-sensitive surface and Contact movement (for example, vertical flicking). In response to the lap time display input, the electronic device displays the lap time list including the first lap time and the second lap time as appropriate. In some embodiments, in response to the lap time display input, the electronic device modifies the display of the first and second representations to reduce the display area of the first and second representations in the user interface (for example, to reduce the first and second representations). The display area of the display, and the lap time list is displayed at least in part in the area of the user interface that becomes available due to the reduction of the display areas of the first and second displays).

In some embodiments, the user interface is displayed along the first axis on a first time scale The first dimension, the first time scale has the first maximum lap time (for example, the vertical dimension of the user interface and the corresponding time scale make it possible to display the maximum lap time of the "first maximum lap time". In other words, the vertical dimension and the corresponding time scale can make it possible to display the maximum lap time of one minute), and the second lap time exceeds the first maximum lap time (for example, the second lap time is longer than one minute) . When the second lap time exceeds the first maximum lap time, the electronic device detects the second lap input at the device at the third time as appropriate (for example, detects the lap on the touch-sensitive display in the user interface). Button selection). In response to the second lap input, the electronic device determines that the second time scale has the second maximum lap time greater than the second lap time as appropriate (for example, determines that the time scale greater than the second lap time is such that the second lap time The lap time can be displayed on the time scale), and the first dimension of the user interface is updated to have the second time scale. For example, updating the first dimension optionally includes updating the position of the first representation in the user interface to maintain the proper relative positioning of the first representation with respect to the second time scale. In addition, if the time scale increases, the movement rates of the first, second, and other representations are reduced as appropriate to maintain a proper correspondence between movement and duration. In some embodiments, the time scale of the first dimension is updated after detecting the second lap input, and the second representation remains stationary at the maximum point of the first dimension until the time scale is updated.

In some embodiments, the first representation and the second representation provide respective visual cues of their respective lap times. For example, the representation corresponding to the longest lap may optionally provide a first visual cue, and the representation corresponding to the single lap may optionally provide a second visual cue. For example, the representation corresponding to the longest lap time is a red dot as appropriate, and the representation corresponding to the shortest lap time is a green dot as appropriate. The indicator corresponding to the current lap will flash between green and white when the corresponding lap time is shorter than the shortest lap depending on the situation, and it will become pure white when the corresponding lap time is longer than the shortest lap but shorter than the longest lap. And when the corresponding lap time is longer than the longest lap, it becomes pure red. If the indication corresponding to the current lap becomes the longest lap, the previous longest lap, which is pure red depending on the situation, becomes pure when the current lap becomes pure red. White. Other colors and/or visual cues can be similarly utilized in this way.

In some embodiments, the electronic device displays a code table representation (for example, a digital code table and/or an analog code table) other than the first representation and the second representation, and the code table representation includes information about the second lap time . For example, in addition to the first and second indications, the stopwatch indicates that the second lap time is also displayed as appropriate. However, the stopwatch indicates that the second lap time is displayed in a different format from the first and second indications as appropriate. For example, the first and second representations can present lap time information in the form of a line graph, and the stopwatch representation can present lap time information in the form of a digital code table (the second lap time information in detail).

In some embodiments, the electronic device detects the second single-turn input at the device at the third time (for example, detecting the selection of a single-turn button on the touch-sensitive display in the user interface), and the third time is at the third time Two time later.

For example, the electronic device increases or decreases the time scale based on the rotation direction of the rotation input. At block 1006, the electronic device also updates the position of the first element according to the current lap time on the second time scale. For example, if the analog hand is positioned to point to a position corresponding to 25 seconds on the 30-second time scale, when the time scale becomes 60 seconds, the position of the analog hand will change to point to the position corresponding to the 60-second time scale.

The second position (for example, the analog clock dial position corresponding to the hours and/or minutes of the current duration setting), the first position corresponds to the zero duration setting, and the second position corresponds to the current duration set up. For example, the current duration indicator is a filled area as appropriate. The area is along the perimeter/curve of the analog clock dial and its length is determined based on the length set by the current duration and the unit displayed on the analog clock dial. For example, if the analog clock dial has a time scale of 0 to 12 hours, and the hour unit of the current duration setting is 4 hours, then the current duration indicator may be from 0 around the perimeter of the analog clock dial as appropriate. Hours extend to 4 hours of filling area.
