Attention will now be directed to embodiments that are directed toward a portable device having a touch sensitive display. FIG. 1A is a block diagram illustrating a portable multifunction device 100 having a touch-sensitive display system 112 in accordance with some embodiments. For convenience, touch-sensitive display 112 is sometimes referred to as a "touch screen" and is sometimes referred to as or 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 (CPUs) 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 ports 124. Device 100 includes one or more optical sensors 164 as appropriate. Device 100 includes a detection device 100 as appropriate (eg, One or more contact intensity sensors 165 that are in contact with the intensity of the touch sensitive surface of the touch sensitive display system 112 of the device 100. Device 100 optionally includes one or more for generating a haptic output on device 100 (eg, generating a tactile output on a touch-sensitive surface such as touch-sensitive display system 112 of device 100 or touch pad 355 of device 300). Tactile output generators 167. These components communicate via one or more communication busses or signal lines 103 as appropriate.

As used in this specification and the scope of the claims, the term "strength" of a contact on a touch-sensitive surface refers to the force or pressure (force per unit area) of contact (eg, finger contact) on a touch-sensitive surface, Or a substitute (agent) for the force or pressure of contact on a touch-sensitive surface. The intensity of the contact has a range of values including at least four different values, and more typically includes hundreds of different values (eg, at least 256). The strength of the contact is determined (or measured) using various methods and combinations of various sensors or sensors as appropriate. For example, one or more force sensors beneath or adjacent to the surface of the touch-sensitive surface are used as appropriate to measure the force at various points on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, a combined (eg, weighted average) force measurement from a plurality of force sensors is used to determine the estimated force of the 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, depending on the situation, the size and/or variation of the contact area detected on the touch-sensitive surface, the capacitance of the touch-sensitive surface that is in close proximity and/or its variation, and/or the touch-sensitive proximity of the contact The resistance of the surface and/or its variations are used as a substitute for the force or pressure of contact on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, the contact force or pressure substitute measurement is used directly to determine if the intensity threshold has been exceeded (eg, the intensity threshold described in units corresponding to the surrogate measurement). In some implementations, the contact force or pressure substitute measurement is converted to an estimated force or pressure, and the estimated force or pressure is used to determine whether the intensity threshold has been exceeded (eg, the intensity threshold is in pressure units) Measured pressure threshold). The use of the strength of the contact as a user input attribute allows the user to access additional device functionality on the reduced size device, which may not be user accessible, Smallly reduced devices have features for displaying visual aids (eg, on a touch-sensitive display) and/or receiving user input (eg, via a touch-sensitive display, a touch-sensitive surface, or an entity such as a knob or button) / mechanical control) limited footprint.

As used in this specification and the claims, the term "tactile output" refers to a physical displacement of a device relative to a previous location of the device, a component of the device (eg, a touch-sensitive surface) relative to another component of the device (eg, The physical displacement of the outer casing, or the displacement of the component detected by the user by its touch sensing relative to the center of mass of the device. For example, where a component of a device or device contacts a surface of a touch-sensitive user (eg, a finger, a palm, or other portion of the user's hand), the tactile output produced by the physical displacement will be used by the user. Interpreted as a tactile sensation that corresponds to a perceived change in a physical feature of a component of a device or device. For example, a user interprets the movement of a touch-sensitive surface (eg, a touch-sensitive display or a track pad) as a "click-down" or "up-click" of a physical actuator button. In some cases, even when the physical actuator button associated with the touch-sensitive surface that is physically pressed (eg, displaced) by the user's movement does not move, the user will still feel such as "downward" The tactile sensation of clicking or clicking 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 "roughness" of the touch-sensitive surface as appropriate. Although the user's such touch interpretation will be affected by the user's individualized sensory perception, there are many touch perceptions that are common to a larger portion of the user. Thus, unless otherwise stated, when the haptic output is described as corresponding to a particular sensory perception of the user (eg, "up click", "down click", "roughness"), the resulting haptic output corresponds to A physical shift of a sensory device or component thereof that is typically (or generally) described by the user.

In some embodiments, the touchpad navigates device 100 from any user interface displayed on device 100 to the primary, top page, or root menu when touched by the user. In these embodiments, the "function table button" is implemented using a touchpad. In some other embodiments, the menu button is a physical push button or other physical input control device, rather than a touchpad.

FIG. 1B is a block diagram illustrating an illustrative component for event handling in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments, memory 102 (FIG. 1A) or 370 (FIG. 3) includes event classifier 170 (eg, in operating system 126) and respective application programs 136-1 (eg, the aforementioned applications 137-151) , 155, 380 to 390).

The event classifier 170 receives the event information and determines which of the application view 191 of the application 136-1 and the application 136-1 is transmitted. The event classifier 170 includes an event monitor 171 and an event dispatcher module 174. In some embodiments, the application 136-1 includes an application internal state 192 that indicates a current application view displayed on the touch-sensitive display 112 while the application is active or in execution. In some embodiments, event classifier 170 uses device/global internal state 157 to determine which application or applications are currently active, and event classifier 170 uses the application. The internal state 192 determines which application views 191 to transfer event information to.

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

Event monitor 171 receives event information from peripheral device interface 118. The event information includes information about sub-events (e.g., user touches on touch-sensitive display 112 as part of a multi-touch gesture). The peripheral device interface 118 transmits information it receives 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). Information received by peripheral device interface 118 from I/O subsystem 106 includes information from touch-sensitive display 112 or a touch-sensitive surface.

In some embodiments, event monitor 171 sends a request to 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 transmits event information only when there is a significant event (eg, receiving an input above a predetermined noise threshold and/or exceeding a predetermined duration).

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

The click view decision module 172 provides a software program for determining where a sub-event occurs within one or more views when the touch-sensitive display 112 displays more than one view. The view consists of controls and other components 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 herein as an application view or a user interface window) in which information is displayed and touch-based gestures occur. The application view that detects the touch (of the respective application) may correspond to the stylized hierarchy within the stylized or view hierarchy of the application. For example, the lowest level view of the detected touch can be referred to as a click view and is identified as being properly lost. The set of incoming events can be determined based at least in part on a click view of the initial touch that begins the touch-based gesture.

The click view decision module 172 receives information about sub-events based on touch gestures. When the application has multiple views organized in a hierarchy, the click view decision module 172 identifies a click view as the lowest view of the sub-events in the hierarchy. In most cases, the click view is the lowest level view in which the starting sub-event occurs (eg, the first sub-event in the sequence of sub-events that form an event or potential event). Once the click view decision module 172 identifies the click view, the click view typically receives all of the sub-events for the same touch or input source, so it is identified as a click view.

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

The event dispatcher module 174 dispatches event information to an event recognizer (e.g., event recognizer 180). In an embodiment including the active event recognizer decision module 173, the event dispatcher module 174 transmits event information to the event recognizer determined by the active event recognizer decision module 173. In some embodiments, the event dispatcher module 174 stores event information in an event queue, which is retrieved by the respective event receiver 182.

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

In some embodiments, the application 136-1 includes a plurality of event handlers 190 and One or more application views 191, each of which includes instructions for handling touch events occurring within respective views of the user interface of the application. Each application view 191 of application 136-1 includes one or more event recognizers 180. Typically, the respective application views 191 include a plurality of event recognizers 180. In other embodiments, one or more of the event recognizers 180 are part of a separate module, such as a user interface set (not shown) or application 136-1 from which the method of inheritance and other properties are higher. Hierarchical objects. In some embodiments, the individual event handler 190 includes one or more of the following: a data update program 176, an object update program 177, a GUI update program 178, and/or event data 179 received from the event classifier 170. . The event handler 190 can utilize the data update program 176, the object update program 177, or the GUI update program 178 to update the application internal state 192. Alternatively, one or more of the application views 191 include one or more individual event handlers 190. Also, 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 views 191.

The individual event recognizer 180 receives event information (e.g., event material 179) from the event classifier 170 and identifies the event from the event information. Event recognizer 180 includes an event receiver 182 and an event comparator 184. In some embodiments, event recognizer 180 also includes at least a subset of the following: post-data 183 and event transfer instructions 188 (which may include sub-event transfer instructions).

Event receiver 182 receives event information from event classifier 170. Event information includes information about sub-events (eg, 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 a sub-event relates to a touch motion, the event information may also include the rate and direction of the sub-event. In some embodiments, the event includes rotation of the device from one orientation to another (eg, from portrait orientation to landscape orientation, or vice versa), and the event information includes a current orientation of the device (also referred to as device pose) Corresponding information.

The event comparator 184 compares the event information with a predefined event or sub-event definition and, based on the comparison, determines the status of the event or sub-event or the decision or update event or sub-event. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 includes an event definition 186. Event definition 186 contains definitions of events such as event 1 (187-1), event 2 (187-2), and other events (eg, a sequence of predefined sub-events). In some embodiments, sub-events in 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 a first touch (touch start) on the displayed item for a predetermined predetermined period, a first lift (a touch end) that continues for a predetermined period, and a second touch on the displayed object for a predetermined period of time ( Touch start) and continue the second lift of the predetermined phase (touch end). In another example, event 2 (187-2) is defined as a drag on the displayed object. Dragging, for example, touches (or contacts) on the displayed object for a predetermined period of time, movement of the touch across the touch-sensitive display 112, and lifting of the touch (end of touch). In some embodiments, the event also includes information for one or more associated event handlers 190.

In some embodiments, event definition 187 includes definitions of events for respective user interface objects. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 performs a click test to determine which user interface object is associated with a sub-event. For example, in an application view in which three user interface objects are displayed on 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 of the displayed items is associated with a respective event handler 190, the event comparator uses the results of the click test to determine which event handler 190 should be launched. For example, event comparator 184 selects an event handler associated with the sub-event and the item that triggered the click test.

In some embodiments, the definition of the respective event (187) also includes delaying the transmission of event information until the determined sub-event sequence corresponds to a delayed action following the event type of the event recognizer.

When the individual event recognizer 180 determines that a series of sub-events do not match any of the event definitions 186, the respective event recognizer 180 types an event impossible, event failure, or event end state, after which the touch-based gesture is ignored. Subsequent sub-events. In this case, the other event recognizers (if any) in the click view remain active to continue tracking and processing the ongoing touch-based gesture sub-events.

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

In some embodiments, the individual event recognizer 180 initiates an event handler 190 associated with the event upon recognizing one or more specific sub-events of the event. In some embodiments, the individual event recognizer 180 transmits event information associated with the event to the event handler 190. The launch event handler 190 is different from the send (and postpone) sub-event to the respective click view. In some embodiments, event recognizer 180 rolls back a flag associated with the identified event, and event handler 190 associated with the flag captures the flag and executes a predefined handler.

In some embodiments, event transfer instructions 188 include sub-event transfer instructions that communicate event information about sub-events without launching an event handler. The fact is that the sub-event delivery command transmits event information to an event handler associated with a series of sub-events or to an active participation view. An event handler associated with a series of sub-events or having an active participation view receives event information and executes a predetermined handler.

In some embodiments, the data update program 176 generates and updates the data for use in the application 136-1. For example, the data update program 176 updates the phone number used in the contact module 137 or stores the video file for use in the video player module. In some In an embodiment, the object update program 177 generates and updates objects for use in the application 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 is ready to display information and send it to the graphics module 132 for display on the touch-sensitive display.

In some embodiments, event handler 190 includes or has access to data update program 176, object update program 177, and 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 appreciated that the foregoing discussion of event handling for 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, not all such user inputs are Start on the touch screen. For example, the mouse movement and the mouse button pressing as appropriate (which may be pressed or held by a single or multiple keyboards, contact movement (such as light touch, drag, scroll, etc. on the touch panel), touch Pen input, device movement, verbal command, detected eye movement, biometric input; and/or any combination thereof are used as input to a sub-event corresponding to the event defining the event to be identified.

As used herein, the term "focus selector" refers to an input element that indicates the current portion of the user interface that the user is interacting with. In some implementations including cursors or other position markers, the cursor acts as a "focus selector" such that when on a touch-sensitive surface (eg, touchpad 355 in Figure 3 or touch-sensitive surface 451 in Figure 4B) The input is detected (eg, pressed input) and the cursor is on a particular user interface component (eg, button, window, When a slider or other user interface component is above, a particular user interface component is adjusted based on the detected input. Some of the touch screen displays (eg, touch-sensitive display system 112 in FIG. 1A or touch screen 112 in FIG. 4A) that enable direct interaction with user interface elements on a touch screen display In practice, the touch detected on the touch screen acts as a "focus selector" to enable specific user interface components (eg, buttons, windows, sliders, or other users) on the touch screen display. When an input is detected at the location of the interface component (eg, by a press input of a contact), a particular user interface component is adjusted based on the detected input. In some implementations, where there is no corresponding cursor movement or contact movement on the touch screen display (eg, by using a tab or arrow keys to move the focus from one button to another), The focus moves from one area of the user interface to another area of the user interface; in such implementations, the focus selector moves according to the movement of the focus between different areas of the user interface. Regardless of the particular form in which the focus selector is employed, the focus selector is generally a user interface component (or contact on a touch screen display) that is controlled by the user to convey what the user desires. User interface interaction (eg, by indicating to the device the components of the user interface that the user is intended to interact with). For example, when a press input is detected on a touch-sensitive surface (eg, a touchpad or a touchscreen), the focus selector (eg, cursor, contact, or selection box) is positioned above the respective button. It will be indicated that the user is intending to activate the respective button (as opposed to other user interface elements shown on the display of the device).

As used in the specification and claims, the term "characteristic strength" of a contact refers to a feature based on contact of one or more intensities of contact. In some embodiments, the feature strength is based on a plurality of intensity samples. The feature strength is based on a predefined number of intensity samples, as appropriate, or relative to a predefined event (eg, after detecting a contact, before detecting the lift of the contact, before or after the start of the movement detecting the contact) Before or after the end of the contact is detected, before or after the intensity of the contact is detected to increase, and/or in the detect A set of intensity samples collected during a predetermined period of time (eg, 0.05 seconds, 0.1 seconds, 0.2 seconds, 0.5 seconds, 1 second, 2 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds) before or after the intensity reduction of the contact is measured. The characteristic strength of the contact is based on one or more of the following: the maximum value of the strength of the contact, the mean value of the strength of the contact, the average of the strength of the contact, the first 10th percentile of the strength of the contact, The value at one-half of the maximum value of the strength of the contact, the value at 90% of the maximum value of the strength of the contact, or the like. In some embodiments, the duration of the contact is used to determine the intensity of the feature (eg, when the feature intensity is the average of the intensity of the contact over time). In some embodiments, the feature strength is compared to a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine if the user has performed an operation. For example, the set of one or more intensity thresholds can include a first intensity threshold and a second intensity threshold. In this example, a contact having a characteristic strength that does not exceed the first threshold results in a first operation, and a contact having a characteristic strength that exceeds the first intensity threshold and does not exceed the second intensity threshold results in a second operation, And having a contact that exceeds the characteristic strength of the second threshold results in a third operation. In some embodiments, the comparison between the feature strength and one or more thresholds is used to determine whether to perform one or more operations (eg, whether to perform a separate operation or to abandon the individual operation) instead of using It is determined whether the first operation or the second operation is performed.

In some embodiments, a portion of the gesture is identified for the purpose of determining feature strength. For example, the touch-sensitive surface can receive a continuous slip contact that transitions from the starting position and reaches the end position, at which point the contact strength increases. In this example, the characteristic intensity of the contact at the end location may be based only on one portion of the continuous slip contact rather than the entire slip contact (eg, only the portion of the slip contact at the end location). In some embodiments, a smoothing algorithm can be applied to the intensity of the slip contact prior to determining the feature strength of the contact. For example, the smoothing algorithm may include one or more of the following: an unweighted moving average smoothing algorithm, a triangle smoothing algorithm, a median filter smoothing algorithm, and/or an exponential smoothing algorithm. In some cases, such smoothing algorithms eliminate narrow spikes or dips in the intensity of the slip contact for the purpose of determining feature strength.

The intensity of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface can be characterized relative to one or more intensity thresholds such as contact detection intensity threshold, shallow compression intensity threshold, deep compression intensity threshold Value and / or one or more other intensity thresholds. In some embodiments, the shallow press intensity threshold corresponds to the strength of the device that will perform the operations typically associated with clicking a physical mouse or trackpad button. In some embodiments, the deep press strength threshold corresponds to the strength at which the device will perform an operation that is different from the operations typically associated with clicking a button of a physical mouse or track pad. In some embodiments, when the detected contact has a threshold below the shallow press intensity (eg, and above the nominal contact detection intensity threshold, below the nominal contact detection intensity threshold, When the characteristic intensity of the 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 an operation associated with the shallow press intensity threshold or the deep press intensity threshold. . In general, unless otherwise stated, the intensity thresholds are consistent between different sets of user interface patterns.

The intensity of the characteristic intensity of the contact from the intensity below the shallow press strength threshold to the intensity between the shallow press intensity threshold and the deep press strength threshold is sometimes referred to as the "light press" input. The increase in the intensity of the contact from the intensity below the deep press strength threshold to the intensity above the deep press strength threshold is sometimes referred to as the "deep press" input. The intensity of the contact characteristic increases from the intensity below the threshold of the contact detection intensity to the intensity between the threshold of the contact detection intensity and the threshold of the shallow compression intensity, which is sometimes referred to as detecting the touch surface. contact. The decrease in the intensity of the feature from the intensity above the threshold of the detection intensity to the intensity below the threshold of the contact detection intensity is sometimes referred to as the detection of the lift 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 performed in response to detecting a gesture comprising a respective press input or in response to detecting a respective press input performed with a respective contact (or a plurality of contacts) Operation, at least in part based on detecting contact (or plural) The intensity of the contact increases above the threshold of the press input intensity to detect the respective press input. In some embodiments, the respective operations are performed in response to detecting that the intensity of the respective contacts increases above the press input intensity threshold (eg, "slide down" for each press input). In some embodiments, the press input includes the intensity of the respective contact being increased above the press input intensity threshold and the intensity of the contact subsequently decreasing below the press input intensity threshold, and in response to detecting the intensity of the respective contact Lower the pressure input below the threshold to perform separate operations (for example, "push up" for each press input).

In some embodiments, the device employs intensity hysteresis to avoid accidental inputs, sometimes referred to as "jitter," where the device defines or selects a hysteresis strength threshold (eg, hysteresis strength) that has a predefined relationship to the press input intensity threshold. The threshold is lower than the press input threshold by X intensity units, or the hysteresis strength threshold is 75%, 90% of the press input intensity threshold or a reasonable ratio). Thus, in some embodiments, the press input includes the intensity of the respective contact increasing above the press input intensity threshold and the intensity of the contact subsequently decreasing below the hysteresis strength threshold corresponding to the press input intensity threshold, and responding Perform separate operations (eg, "swipe up" for each press input) by detecting the intensity of the individual contacts and then decreasing below the hysteresis strength threshold. Similarly, in some embodiments, only the intensity at which the device detects contact increases from an intensity at or below the hysteresis strength threshold to an intensity at or above the compression input intensity threshold and the intensity of the contact. The press input is then detected when the intensity is lowered to or below the hysteresis strength, and the individual input is performed in response to detecting the press input (eg, as the case may be, the intensity of the contact increases or the intensity of the contact decreases) operating.

For ease of explanation, the description in response to a press input associated with pressing an input intensity threshold or an operation performed in response to a gesture including a press input is triggered in response to detecting any of the following: contact The strength is increased above the threshold value of the pressing input intensity; the intensity of the contact increases from the intensity lower than the hysteresis strength threshold to the intensity higher than the pressing input intensity threshold; the contact strength decreases below the pressing input intensity threshold; and / or the strength of the contact is reduced below the hysteresis strength threshold corresponding to the press input intensity threshold. Additionally, in an example where the operation is described as being performed in response to detecting that the intensity of the contact decreases below the threshold of the pressed input intensity, the intensity of the detected contact is reduced to correspond to and below the threshold of the pressed input intensity. The value is below the threshold value and the operation is performed as appropriate.

As used herein, "installed application" refers to a software application that has been downloaded to an electronic device (eg, devices 100, 300, and/or 500) and is ready to be launched (eg, turned "on") on the device. In some embodiments, the downloaded application becomes the installed application by means of an installer that extracts the program portion from the downloaded package and integrates the extracted portion with the operating system of the computer system.

As used herein, the term "open application" or "execution application" refers to a software application that has retention status information (eg, as part of device/global internal state 157 and/or application internal state 192). Opening or executing an application can be any of the following types of applications: • an active application that is currently displayed on the display screen of the device, the application is being used on the device; • the background application (or Background handler), which is not currently displayed, but one or more handlers of the application are being processed by one or more processors; and • pause or hibernate the application, which is not running, but has been stored in memory The status information (in volatile memory and non-volatile memory, respectively) that can be used to restore execution of the application.

As used herein, the term "closed application" refers to a software application that has no reservation status information (eg, status information for closing an application is not stored in the memory of the device). Therefore, closing the application includes terminating and/or removing the application handler for the application and the memory of the self-device to remove status information for the application. In general, opening the second application does not close when in the first application. The first application. When the second application is displayed and the first application is stopped, the first application becomes the background application.

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

1. Indicates lap time

Multifunction devices such as devices 100, 300, and/or 500 (Figs. 1A, 3A, and/or 5A) can provide various codebook functionality. Some such functionality may include tracking the amount of time elapsed from a specified time (eg, selection from a "start" button), tracking one or more lap times, and any other functionality that may be associated with the code table. The embodiments described below are directed to a multifunction device that provides such code table functionality.

FIG. 6A illustrates an illustrative electronic device 600 and an illustrative associated user interface. Electronic device 600 can be any of devices 100, 300, and/or 500 (FIGS. 1A, 3A, and/or 5A). In the illustrated embodiment, device 600 is a wearable device. In some embodiments, device 600 provides one or more code table functionality, one of which may represent a lap time. Device 600 is shown as being used to indicate one of the lap times or multiple user interfaces.

The user interface displayed by device 600 in FIG. 6A optionally includes a digital code table representation 602. 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 digit code table representation 602 displays the total time elapsed after the "Start" button 604 is selected, as appropriate. In some embodiments, the user interface includes a button 606 that 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 While embodiments of the present invention may be described as including finger interaction (e.g., selecting a user interface button with a finger), the scope of the invention is not so limited. Any suitable interaction with the user interface of the present invention is within the scope of the present invention, including interaction with objects such as styluses. Moreover, it should be understood that user interface input elements (e.g., buttons) may be replaced by physical input elements while remaining within the scope of the present invention.

FIG. 6B illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by device 600 in response to detecting a selection of button 604 to begin using the timing of digital counter representation 602. The button 604 changes from the "Start" button to the "End" button as appropriate, and the selection of the "Terminate" button terminates the use of the digit code table representation 602 as appropriate. In addition, the button 606 becomes active as a "single circle" button, and the selection of the "single circle" button depicts and defines one lap time and another lap time as appropriate, the details of which will be further described below.

The lap time representation 610 is displayed in the user interface as appropriate, in response to the selection of button 604 in FIG. 6A. The lap time representation 610 represents a single lap (in this case the first lap after the selection of button 604 in Figure 6A, as indicated by the number of laps indicated by 612). Although lap time representation 610 is illustrated as a dot, it should be understood that any suitable user interface element can be used to represent a single turn (e.g., square, triangular, etc.) in accordance with embodiments of the present invention. Over time, the lap time representation 610 moves along the specified axis in the user interface as appropriate. For example, the lap time representation 610 moves vertically in the user interface as a function of time; however, it should be understood that within the scope of the present invention, the lap time representation 610 can be along any other axis in the user interface. Move in any other direction.

FIG. 6C illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by device 600 after 25 seconds of selection of button 604 from FIG. 6A. The digital code table representation 602 reflects the total duration of 25 seconds.

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

Figure 6D illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by device 600 after 35 seconds of selection of button 604 from Figure 6A. The digital code table representation 602 reflects the total duration of 35 seconds. The lap time representation 610 has been moved further vertically in the user interface depending on the additional 10 seconds that have elapsed since FIG. 6C. Additionally, a "single circle" button 606 has been selected to define the end of the first lap.

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

To allow the lap time representation 614 and the lap number representation 616 to be displayed in the user interface, the lap time representation 610 and the lap number representation 612 are responsive to the selection of the button 606 in FIG. 6D as appropriate in the user interface level. The ground moves to the left (i.e., in a direction orthogonal to the vertical axis). In some embodiments, the lap time representation 610 and the lap number representation 612 are horizontally animated as appropriate. In addition, the lap time representation 610 and the lap time representation 614 are connected by line 618 as appropriate. It should be understood that in some embodiments, a lap time representation (eg, lap time representation 610) is initially displayed on the left side of the user interface, and an additional lap time representation is added to the right side thereof, where In the embodiment, when the 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) Shift as appropriate Leaving the user interface, but in response to any appropriate input scrolling for scrolling back to return to the view), the existing lap times indicate (as appropriate) that no horizontal movement is required.

6F illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by device 600 after 20 seconds from the selection of button 606 in FIG. 6E (and after 55 seconds from the selection of button 604 in FIG. 6A). Digital code table representation 602 reflects the total duration of 55 seconds after the selection of button 604 in Figure 6A. As previously discussed, the lap time representation 610 is located in the same vertical position as in Figure 6E, as the lap (i.e., the first lap) associated with the lap time representation 610 has been defined and set as appropriate. Single lap time.

The lap time representation 614 moves vertically in the user interface as a function of 20 seconds elapsed from the selection of button 606 in Figure 6E. The lap time representation 614 is moved in a manner similar to that previously described with respect to the lap time representation 610. Line 618 continues to connect lap time representation 610 and lap time representation 614 as appropriate.

6G illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by device 600 after 25 seconds of selection of button 606 from FIG. 6E (and after 60 seconds of selection of button 604 from FIG. 6A). The digital code table representation 602 reflects the total duration of time 60 seconds (i.e., one minute) since the selection of button 604 in Figure 6A. The lap time representation 614 moves further vertically in the user interface depending on the additional 5 seconds that have elapsed since FIG. 6F. In addition, the "single circle" button 606 has been selected by the finger 608.

FIG. 6H illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by device 600 after the selection of button 606 in FIG. 6G. Similar to that previously described with respect to FIG. 6E, in response to the selection of button 606 in FIG. 6G, the lap time representation 614 optionally terminates the vertical movement in the user interface as the selection of button 606 in FIG. 6G has been selected as appropriate. The end of the lap (i.e., the second lap) associated with the lap time representation 614 is defined. In addition, the lap time representation 620 (which optionally corresponds to the third lap indicated by its corresponding lap number representation) is optionally displayed in the user interface. The lap time representation 620 is displayed at the initial vertical position in the user interface that is the same as the initial vertical position of the lap time representation 610 in FIG. 6B and the lap time representation 614 in FIG. 6E. In addition, the lap time represents 614 and the lap time schedule The indication 620 is connected by a line as appropriate.

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

Since all lap times have been defined for the first lap and the second lap, the average lap time is determined as appropriate and displayed in the user interface. The average lap time is optionally the average lap time of all well-defined laps since the selection of the "Start" button 604 in Figure 6A. The average lap time is optionally indicated by an average lap time indicator 622 in the user interface, which is optionally a vertical position at a time value (in this case, 30 seconds) corresponding to the average lap time The horizontal line. The average lap time indicator 622 is a dashed line as appropriate, as illustrated. In the illustrated embodiment, the average lap time indicator 622 is positioned between the lap time representation 610 and the lap time representation 614 because the average lap time of 30 seconds is optionally between 35 seconds (with lap times) Between 610 associated lap time) and 25 seconds (the lap time associated with lap time representation 614).

FIG. 6I illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by device 600 when lap time representation 620 has reached a maximum time on time scale 626 in the user interface. The digit code table representation 602 reflects the total duration of time 110 seconds (i.e., one minute and 50 seconds) from the selection of button 604 in Figure 6A. The user interface has a time scale 626 that displays the minimum and maximum lap time, as appropriate. For example, the time scale 626 may optionally display a minimum lap time of 0 seconds and a maximum lap time of 50 seconds. The time scale 626 is the same time scale as in Figures 6A-6H, but is not described for ease of description. In the embodiment of FIG. 61, the lap time representation 620 has moved (eg, continuously moved) from its initial position to a position corresponding to 50 seconds (the maximum lap time that may be displayed by time scale 626).

In some embodiments, the time scale 626 continues to change over time as the situation continues and as the lap time representation 620 continues to correspond to a lap time that is longer than 50 seconds. In some embodiments, the time scale 626 varies as the case until the lap associated with the lap time representation 620 has been sufficiently defined (eg, by the selection of a "single circle" button), as will be described below.

6J illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by device 600 when lap time representation 620 has exceeded the maximum time on time scale 626 in the user interface. In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 6J, the time scale 626 varies as the case until the lap associated with the lap time representation 620 has been sufficiently defined (eg, by the selection of a "single circle" button), as above Mentioned. Thus, although the time illustrated in Figure 6I has passed 20 seconds (as indicated by the total duration of 130 seconds (i.e., two minutes and 10 seconds) in the digital code table representation 602), the lap time representation The 620 appears to not move further vertically in the user interface because the lap time representation 620 has exceeded the maximum lap time that can be displayed on the time scale 626 as appropriate. As illustrated, the "single turn" button 606 has been selected by the finger 608.

FIG. 6K illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by device 600 after selection of button 606 in FIG. 6J. Similar to the foregoing description, the lap time representation and its corresponding number of laps indicate that the user has moved horizontally to the left in the user interface to allow display of the lap time representation 624 and its corresponding lap number representation. In addition, the average lap time has been re-determined to 43.3 based on a well-defined lap time of 35 seconds (for the first lap), 25 seconds (for the second lap) and 70 seconds (for the third lap). second. The average lap times of 43.3 seconds are reflected by the average lap time indicator 622.

Additionally, the time scale 626 has been adjusted to allow for the display of all well-defined lap times. For example, the time scale 626 is adjusted as appropriate to have a maximum lap time 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. The vertical position of the lap time representation and the average lap time indicator 622 are also adjusted according to the adjusted time scale 626 as appropriate to be properly positioned in the user interface relative to the adjusted time scale 626.

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

FIG. 6M illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by device 600 after detection of vertical slip in FIG. 6L. In response to the vertical slip detected by device 600 in Figure 6L, the display area indicated by the lap time is reduced as appropriate to allow display of lap time list 628 in the user interface. These smaller lap times represent a lap time representation 630 that is illustrated as being reduced in size. In some embodiments, when vertical slip is detected on the touch-sensitive surface of device 600, a reduction in the display area of the lap time representation 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 lap time representation 630 previously discussed and the lap time representation 630 of the reduced size. The lap time list 628 includes, as appropriate, the number of laps per lap and the lap time of each lap. The lap time list 628 can be scrolled up and down vertically in response to the vertical slip gesture detected on the touch sensitive surface of the device 600. The user interface illustrated in Figure 6M thus allows the user to view the lap time check as a lap time representation (single lap time representation 630) and a list (single lap time list 628).

Device 600 can display various code table views as appropriate. In addition, the user can switch between various code table views in response to a specified input at device 600 for performing the switching operation (eg, in response to a specified gesture detected at device 600, in response to a specified mechanical input at the device). The detection is selected from the function list column including the list of code table views). In some instances, in response to a touch sensitive surface (sometimes a device's touch sensitive surface) included in device 600 The input of the detected contact anywhere on the surface displays a function table or selection of the code table view as appropriate, the contact having a characteristic intensity greater than the intensity threshold. When switching between various code table views, the code table data is saved as appropriate. That is, when switching between the chronograph views, the data on the number of laps recorded so far, the lap times associated with each lap, the average lap time, and the length of the current lap are used as appropriate. The total duration of all laps and any other information about the lap as discussed above is stored on device 600. Thus, different code table views can (possibly) access and/or present saved material in different ways.

The embodiment described with reference to Figures 6A-6M is optionally associated with a first code table view (e.g., a chart code table view). FIG. 6N illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by device 600 for displaying a lap time in a second code table view (eg, an analog code table view). The user may have switched from the chart table view to the analog code table view, but this need not be the case (for example, the user may have started timing in the analog code table view). The user interface in the analog code table view of FIG. 6N optionally includes an analog clock dial 632 having a time scale of 0 to 60 seconds and having a pointer 634 indicating the current time scale on a time scale of 0 to 60 seconds. Single lap time. The analog clock dial 632 is 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. The combination of the analog clock dial 638 and the analog clock dial 632 is used to track the lap time in 60 seconds. For example, to display a lap time of 30 seconds per minute, the analog clock dial 638 is displayed as one minute as appropriate, and the analog clock dial 632 is displayed for 30 seconds as appropriate. It should be understood that the time scale for 0 to 60 seconds for analog clock dial 632 and 0 to 30 minutes for analog clock dial 638 is merely exemplary and does not limit the scope of the present invention.

The user interface in FIG. 6N also includes a digital code table representation 636 for displaying the current lap time in a digital manner, as appropriate. Represents a digit code table 636 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 number of bits used to represent code table Different configurations of 636 are possible. The selection of the "single circle" button 606 is depicted and defined as similar to the single circle previously described with reference to Figures 6A-6M.

As previously mentioned, the user may desire to view a list of lap times in addition to the analog lap time representation as discussed above. In some embodiments, the lap time list is displayed in response to detection of a specified input at device 600 (eg, a designated input on the touch-sensitive surface of device 600). FIG. 6O illustrates an exemplary input detected at device 600 for displaying a list of lap times that have been depicted and defined by the selection of "single circle" button 606. As previously mentioned, in the illustrated embodiment, vertical slip by finger 608 has been detected on the touch-sensitive surface of device 600. Vertical slip can be detected at any location on the touch-sensitive surface of device 600.

Figure 6P illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by device 600 after detection of vertical slip in Figure 60. In response to the vertical slip detected by device 600 in FIG. 60, the display area of analog clock dial 632 and/or 638 is reduced as appropriate to allow display of lap time list 628. Analog clocks 632 and 638 are shown in the upper portion 642 of the user interface as appropriate. Analog clock dials 632 and 638 retain the same time scale as shown in Figures 6N through 60, as appropriate. An additional analog clock dial 640 is added to the area 642 of the user interface as appropriate. Analog timepiece plate 640 optionally has a one second time in units of 1/10 ^th scale of 0-1 seconds. The analog clock dial 640 is used to track the tenth of a second passed in the current lap. In some embodiments, the reduction of the display area of analog clock dials 632 and/or 638 and the addition of analog clock dial 640 are performed when vertical slip is detected on the touch-sensitive surface of device 600. It should be understood that the time scale of 0 to 1 second for the analog clock dial 640 is merely exemplary and 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, as appropriate, the number of laps per lap and the lap time of each lap. The lap time list 628 can be responsive to the vertical slip gesture detected on the touch sensitive surface of the device 600. Scroll down vertically. The user interface illustrated in FIG. 6P thus allows the user to view the current lap time check as an analog lap time representation (in region 642) and allows the user to view the lap time list (single lap time list 628).

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

In some embodiments, the unit of the digit code table representation 636 is aligned with the unit space of the analog clock dial 642. That is, the leftmost clock dial of analog clock dial 642 displays the number of minutes as the case may be, such as the digit code table indicates the leftmost portion of 636; the middle clock dial of the analog clock dial 642 displays the number of seconds depending on the situation, such as a digital code table representation. 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-6Q illustrate various user interfaces of device 600, the techniques described may 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 Figures 6A-6Q. For the sake of brevity, these details are not explicitly discussed herein. In addition, it should be understood that the order of the user interface and operation described with reference to FIGS. 6A-6Q is merely exemplary and does not limit the scope of the present invention. For example, the vertical slip in Figure 6L may alternatively be entered in Figure 6F to similarly display a lap time list.

2. Adjust the time scale

Multifunction devices such as devices 100, 300, and/or 500 (Figs. 1A, 3A, and/or 5A) can provide various timing or chronograph functionality. As part of these functionalities, these devices can display timing components with certain time scales. The user can adjust the time scale of the timing component in a variety of ways. The embodiments described below are directed to a multi-function device that can adjust the time scale of the timing component by the user.

FIG. 7A illustrates an illustrative electronic device 700 and an illustrative associated user interface. Electronic device 700 can be any of devices 100, 300, and/or 500 (FIGS. 1A, 3A, and/or 5A). In the illustrated embodiment, device 700 is a wearable device. In some embodiments, device 700 provides one or more code table functionality, one of which may be a time scale for adjusting the code table representation (eg, adjusting the time scale of the analog code table representation, adjusting) The digital code table indicates the time scale, etc.). Device 700 is shown as being used to adjust one or more of the user interfaces of such time scales.

The user interface shown by device 700 in FIG. 7A optionally includes an analog code table representation 702 for representing the current lap time. The analog code table representation 702 has a specified time scale (in this case, 0 to 60 seconds) and optionally includes a pointer 704 that is positioned as appropriate with respect to the specified time scale based on the current lap time. In the illustrated embodiment, the pointer 704 is positioned at a position on the time scale that corresponds to 5 seconds (the current lap time).

The analog code table representation 702 also includes an analog code table representation 706 as appropriate. The analog code table representation 706 has a time scale that is different from the analog code table representation 702 used to represent the current lap time, as appropriate. For example, the analog code table representation has a time scale of 0 to 30 minutes as appropriate (not illustrated for ease of description). The time scales provided for the analog code table representations 702 and 706 are merely illustrative and are not limiting as to the scope of the invention.

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

FIG. 7B illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by device 700 when a rotational input is detected at rotatable input mechanism 701 in FIG. 7A. Finger 708 can continue to provide a rotational input at rotatable input mechanism 701 in Figure 7B. The amount of rotation input detected to date at the rotatable input mechanism 701 corresponds to the time scale used to convert the analog code table representation 702 from 0 to 60 seconds (in FIG. 7A) to 0 to 45 seconds (in FIG. 7B). The amount of input in ). In response to the rotation input detected so far, the time scale of the analog code table representation 702 varies depending on the rotation input as the case detects the rotation input. For example, the time scale shown in FIG. 7A is optionally "stretched" (eg, shifted in a cyclic manner) by the rotational input amount and time scale when the rotational input is detected at the rotatable input mechanism 701. The amount defined by the correspondence of quantities. For example, one half rotation of the rotatable input mechanism 701 can correspond to increasing or decreasing the time scale by 50%.

In conjunction with the change in the time scale of the analog code table representation 702, the position of the pointer 704 relative to the update 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 detection of the rotational input at the rotatable input mechanism 701. In some embodiments, the time scale of the analog code table representation 706 is updated concurrently with the update of the time scale of the analog code table representation 702 (not illustrated for ease of description). For example, in the illustrated embodiment, the time scale of the analog code table representation 706 can be changed from 0 to 30 minutes (in FIG. 7A) to 0 depending on the amount of rotation input detected at the rotatable input mechanism 701. Up to 22.5 minutes (in Figure 7B).

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

FIG. 7D illustrates an alternate exemplary user interface presented by device 700 after the rotation input detected at the rotatable input mechanism 701 of FIG. 7B is stopped. In some embodiments, after the rotation input at the rotatable input mechanism 701 is stopped, the analog code table representation 702 and/or 706 the time scale "snap" to the direction corresponding to the rotation input (eg, rotation) The input is increasing or decreasing the closest of the predefined predefined time scales of the plurality of predefined time scales of the analog code table representation 702 and/or 706.

For example, the analog code table representation 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 representation 706 Associated with four predefined time scales as appropriate: 0 to 30 minutes, 0 to 15 minutes, 0 to 3 minutes, and 0 to 2 minutes. When the rotary input terminates at the rotatable input mechanism 701, the time scale of the analog code table representation 702 is "spliced" as appropriate to 0 to 30 seconds instead of remaining at 0 to 45 seconds (as illustrated in Figure 7D). Since 0 to 45 seconds is not one of the four predefined time scales associated with the analog code table representation 702 as appropriate, and since 0 to 30 seconds corresponds to the direction of the rotational input as appropriate (analog code table representation 702) Reduction in time scale). Optionally, the position of the "stick" update pointer 704 of the time scale of the analog code table representation 702 is also corresponding. Although not illustrated, it should be understood that the time scale of the analog code table representation 706 is also "sticked" to a predefined time scale as appropriate. It should be understood that the predefined time scales provided are merely illustrative and do not limit the scope of the invention.

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

3. Set the timer duration

Multi-function devices such as devices 100, 300, and/or 500 (Figs. 1A, 3A, and/or 5A) can provide various timing functions. As part of these functionalities, these devices can provide a countdown timer to set the reciprocal from the specified current duration. The user can adjust the current duration setting in various ways. The embodiments described below are directed to a multi-function device that can be adjusted by the user to adjust the current duration of the timer.

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

The user interface shown by device 800 in FIG. 8A optionally includes a timer representation having an analog representation 802 and a digital representation 806. The analog representation 802 has a specified time scale (in this case, 0 to 12 hours) as appropriate and includes a current duration setting on the specified time scale (in this case, five hours and 30 minutes) Current duration indicator 804. In some embodiments, the current duration indicator 804 represents the value (in this case, the number of hours) of the specified unit of the current duration setting of the unit corresponding to the time scale of the analog representation 802. 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 as appropriate between 5 and 6 on the time scale of the analog representation 802. To indicate the current duration of 5 hours and 30 minutes.

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

The user interface of FIG. 8A also includes, as appropriate, a button 807 for counting down from the current duration setting and a button 809 for resetting the reciprocal to the initial current duration setting.

The user may desire to adjust the current duration setting of the analog representation 802 and/or digit representation 806. The adjustment of the current duration setting can be implemented in response to detection of a specified input at device 800. For example, the rotational input of the rotatable input mechanism 801 on device 800 allows for adjustment of the current duration setting as appropriate.

FIG. 8B illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by device 800 when a rotational input is detected at rotatable input mechanism 801. The finger 808 provides a rotational input to the rotatable input mechanism 801 in a front view. In response to the rotary input, the current duration setting is changed depending on the rotation input as appropriate. In the illustrated embodiment, the rotary input has reduced the current duration setting from 5 hours and 30 minutes to four hours and 30 minutes. The current duration setting of the update is reflected by the digital representation 806 as appropriate. The current duration setting of the update is also reflected by the analogous representation of the change position of the current duration indicator 804 on 802. As illustrated, the current duration indicator 804 has been moved from position 5 to position 4 at a time scale of the analog representation 802 based on the rotational input. In some embodiments, the current duration indicator 804 is moved when a rotational input is detected.

In some embodiments, prior to the supply of the rotary input at the rotatable input mechanism 801, the user optionally specifies which of the units of the current duration setting will be changed by the rotary input. Figure 8C illustrates the designation of the time unit by the user for the current duration setting to be changed by the subsequent rotation input detected at the rotatable input mechanism 801. As previously described, the digit representation 806 has a time portion 810 and a minute portion 811 as appropriate. Optional or referring The fixed digit indicates which of the two portions to specify which unit of the current duration setting (eg, the number of hours or minutes unit) will be changed by the subsequent rotation input detected at the rotatable input mechanism 801 . For example, the time portion 810 (as illustrated) can be selected to specify the time 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 number of minutes units that will change the current duration setting by the subsequent rotation input detected at the rotatable input mechanism 801. As illustrated, the finger 808 has selected the digit representation portion 810 of the digit representation 806.

FIG. 8D illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by device 800 after the selection of time portion 810 in FIG. 8C. In response to the selection of the hour portion 810, a visual cue 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, begins to blink, or is displayed within the boundary (or provides any other visual cue to indicate the selection of the hour portion 810). In the illustrated embodiment, block 812 is displayed around the hour portion 810 to indicate its selection.

In addition, the time scale of the analog representation 802 is updated to the time scale associated with the time portion 810, as appropriate, in response to the selection of the time portion 810. For example, the selection of the time series portion 810, as appropriate, updates the time scale of the analog representation 802 to 0 to 12 hours. Instead of a 0 to 12 hour time scale, other time scales may alternatively be associated with the hour portion 810. If the analog scale indicates that the time scale of 802 has been 0 to 12 hours, then it is not necessary to respond to the selection of the time portion 810 to update the time scale (as in the case of Figure 8D).

FIG. 8E illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by device 800 in response to detection of a rotational input at rotatable input mechanism 801. Finger 808 has provided a rotational input at rotatable input mechanism 801. Since the hour portion 810 is selected, the rotational input at the rotatable input mechanism 801 changes the time unit of the current duration setting as appropriate. The digit representation 806 reflects this change as appropriate (in this case, a change from four hours to two hours). Additionally, as illustrated, the current duration indicator 804 is updated as appropriate to reflect the current duration setting The change in the unit of time.

Figure 8F illustrates the designation of the number of minutes units that the user will set for the current duration of the change in the subsequent rotation input detected by the rotatable input mechanism 801. The time portion 810 is currently selectable as previously discussed. As illustrated, the finger 808 has selected the digit representation portion 811 of the digit representation 806 to specify that the current duration setting of the minute unit will be changed by the subsequent rotation input detected at the rotatable input mechanism 801.

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

In addition, the selection of the minute representation portion 811, as appropriate, updates the time scale of the analog representation 802 to the time scale associated with the minute portion 811. For example, as illustrated, the selection of the minute number portion 811, as appropriate, updates the time scale of the analog representation 802 to 0 to 60 minutes. Instead of a 0 to 60 minute time scale, other time scales may alternatively be associated with the minutes portion 811. If the analog scale indicates that the time scale of 802 has been 0 to 60 minutes, then the time scale does not have to be updated to reflect the selection of the minutes portion 811.

FIG. 8H illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by device 800 in response to detection of a rotational input at rotatable input mechanism 801. Finger 808 has provided a rotational input at rotatable input mechanism 801. Since the minute portion 811 is selected, the rotary input at the rotatable input mechanism 801 changes the minute unit of the current duration setting as appropriate. The digit representation 806 reflects this change as appropriate (in this case, a change from 30 minutes to 40 minutes). Additionally, as illustrated, the current duration indicator 804 is updated as appropriate to reflect changes in the number of minutes units of the current duration setting.

Figure 8I illustrates the beginning of the user's countdown to the timer set from the current duration. Such as As previously discussed, the selection of button 807 begins with a countdown of the timer set from the current duration. As illustrated, the finger 808 has selected the "Start" button 807.

Figure 8J illustrates an exemplary user interface presented by device 800 after the selection of the "Start" button 807 in Figure 8I. Button 807 changes from the "Start" button in Figure 8I to the "End" button in Figure 8J as appropriate to terminate the countdown of the timer in Figure 8I. In addition, the digit 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, the selection of the "Start" button 807 in Figure 8I has been five seconds past. In addition, the current duration indicator 804 is also updated as appropriate by its position from its immediate 40 in the time scale of the analog representation 802 to its position in the time scale of the analog representation 802. The changes are explained to reflect the elapsed time.

FIG. 8K illustrates an alternative form for the current duration indicator 804. In some embodiments, instead of a dot (as illustrated in Figures 8A-8J), the current duration indicator 804 is optionally an area having a fill area that corresponds to zero on a time scale of the analog representation 802. The position extends to a position on the time scale of 802 representing the value of the currently selected unit (in this case, 35 minutes) corresponding to the current duration setting. In all other aspects, the current duration indicator 804 of Figure 8K functions in a manner similar to the current duration indicator 804 of Figures 8A-8J. For example, if the number of minutes (or hours) set in the current duration changes regardless of the rotation input detected at the rotatable input mechanism 801 or the countdown of the timer, the current duration indicator 804 is optionally Expand or contract around the perimeter of the analog representation 802.

It should be noted that while FIGS. 8A-8K illustrate various user interfaces of device 800, the techniques described may 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 depicted in Figures 8A-8K. For the sake of brevity, these details are not explicitly discussed herein. In addition, it should be understood that the order of the user interface and operation described with reference to FIGS. 8A-8K is merely exemplary and does not limit the scope of the present invention. For example, the user is selecting and changing the number The bit timer indicates that the number of minutes of the digit timer representation 806 may have been selected and changed before the time portion of 806.

9A-9B are flow diagrams illustrating a process 900 for representing a lap time in a user interface of an electronic device. Processing 900 can be performed in various embodiments by electronic devices such as devices 100, 300, and/or 500 (FIGS. 1A, 3A, 5A). At block 902, the electronic device displays (eg, on the touch-sensitive display) a first representation of the first lap time (eg, the first dot) in the user interface at a first time.

At block 904, the electronic device moves the first representation along the first axis (eg, the vertical axis) in the user interface based on the first amount of time since the first time duration, the first amount of time corresponding to the first lap Time (eg, moving the first representation in a continuous manner along the first axis as the time continues after the first time). At block 906, while moving the first representation, the electronic device detects the first lap input at the second time (eg, detecting the choice of a lap button on the touch sensitive display in the user interface) ).

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

At block 912, the electronic device moves a second representation along the first axis (eg, a vertical axis) in the user interface based on a second amount of time from the second time duration, the second amount of time corresponding to the second lap Time (eg, moving the second representation in a continuous manner along the first axis as the time continues after the second time). In some embodiments, the relative positioning of the first representation and the second representation along the first axis corresponds to a 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 be closer to the first single with the second lap time The lap time moves in the direction of the first axis; when the second lap time exceeds the first lap time, the second representation will be displayed above the first representation and will follow 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 (eg, horizontally spaced apart) by a distance (eg, 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 wires in a user interface.

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

In some embodiments, the electronic device detects a lap time display input on a touch-sensitive surface of the device (eg, on a touch-sensitive display of the device), the lap time display input including contact on the touch-sensitive surface and The movement of the contact (for example, vertical dialing). In response to the lap time display input, the electronic device displays a list of lap times 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 (eg, reducing the first and second A display area is indicated, and a lap time list is displayed, at least in part, in an area of the user interface that becomes available due to the reduction of the display areas of the first and second representations.

In some embodiments, displaying the user interface along the first axis on a first time scale In the first dimension, the first time scale has a first maximum lap time (eg, a vertical dimension of the user interface and a corresponding time scale such that the maximum lap time of the "first maximum lap time" can be displayed. In terms of the vertical dimension and the corresponding time scale, the maximum lap time of one minute can be displayed, 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 third time according to the situation (for example, detecting a single circle on the touch sensitive display in the user interface) Button selection). In response to the second lap input, the electronic device determines, as appropriate, that the second time scale has a second maximum lap time greater than the second lap time (eg, determining a time scale greater than the second lap time such that the second order The lap time can be displayed on the time scale) and the first dimension of the user interface is updated to have a second time scale. For example, updating the first dimension optionally includes updating the location of the first representation in the user interface to maintain proper relative positioning of the first representation relative to the second time scale. In addition, if the time scale is increased, the rate of movement of the first, second, and other representations is reduced as appropriate to maintain an appropriate correspondence between the movement and the elapsed time. In some embodiments, the time scale of the first dimension is updated after the second lap input is detected, 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 for their respective lap times. For example, the representation corresponding to the longest lap provides a first visual cue as appropriate, and the representation corresponding to the lap provides a second visual cue as appropriate. For example, the representation corresponding to the longest lap time is optionally a red dot, and the representation corresponding to the shortest lap time is a green dot as appropriate. The representation corresponding to the current single circle flashes between green and white when the corresponding lap time is shorter than the shortest lap, and becomes pure white when the corresponding lap time is shorter than the shortest lap time but shorter than the longest lap. And it becomes pure red when its corresponding lap time is longer than the longest single lap. If the representation corresponding to the current lap becomes the longest lap, then the previous longest lap as the case of pure red becomes pure when the current lap represents pure red. White. Other colors and/or visual cues can be similarly utilized in this manner.

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

In some embodiments, the electronic device detects the second lap input at the device at a third time (eg, detecting a selection of a lap button on the touch sensitive display in the user interface), the third time being After two hours. In response to the second lap input, the electronic device determines an average lap time based on the first lap time and the second lap time as appropriate (eg, determining an average of some or all of the lap times recorded as a representation along the first axis) A lap time) and an indication of the average lap time is displayed in the user interface.
