- This relates generally to electronic devices with touch-sensitive surfaces, including but not limited to electronic devices with touch-sensitive surfaces that synchronize two or more displays.
- The use of touch-sensitive surfaces as input devices for computers and other electronic computing devices has increased significantly in recent years. Exemplary touch-sensitive surfaces include touch pads and touch screen displays. Such surfaces are widely used to manipulate user interface objects on a first display associated with first electronic device.
- Exemplary manipulations include adjusting the position and/or size of one or more user interface objects or activating buttons or opening files/applications represented by user interface objects or otherwise manipulating user interfaces. Exemplary user interface objects include digital images, video, text, icons, control elements such as buttons and other graphics.
- Sometimes users have access to multiple different displays that are capable of displaying different content. For example, a passenger in a car or other vehicle may have access to a smart phone and its display, as well as access to a car information/entertainment system and its display(s). But when multiple different displays are available, methods for displaying content on these different displays are cumbersome and inefficient. For example, displaying the same information on the different displays generally does not provide any useful additional information to the user, while displaying unrelated information on the different displays can be confusing and inefficient for the user and sometime causes the user to spend extra time keeping relevant content displayed on both devices. In addition, these methods take longer than necessary, thereby wasting energy. This latter consideration is particularly important in battery-operated devices.
- Accordingly, there is a need for electronic devices with more efficient methods and interfaces for synchronizing two or more displays. Such methods and interfaces optionally complement or replace conventional methods for displaying information on two or more displays. Such methods and interfaces reduce the cognitive burden on a user and produce a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated devices, such methods and interfaces conserve power and increase the time between battery charges.
- Additionally, in many situations controls for use in interacting with such user interfaces displayed on the displays are often rigidly associated with a single display. This limits the flexibility of the controls, which can result in an inefficient user interface. Accordingly, there is a need for a system that seamlessly maps controls and other input sources to user interfaces displayed on different displays in a flexible manner. However, when mapping different controls to different displays, it would be easy to mistakenly associate a control with the wrong display. Moreover, taking a long time to determine which display is associated with a particular control would introduce a delay into the user's interactions with the user interface that would degrade the user experience. As such, there is a need for a fast, accurate and efficient system and method for mapping controls and other input sources to different displays of the two or more displays.
- The above deficiencies and other problems associated with user interfaces for electronic devices with touch-sensitive surfaces are reduced or eliminated by the disclosed devices. In some embodiments, the device is a desktop computer. In some embodiments, the device is portable (e.g., a notebook computer, tablet computer, or handheld device). In some embodiments, the device has a touchpad. In some embodiments, the device has a touch-sensitive display (also known as a “touch screen” or “touch screen display”). In some embodiments, the device has a graphical user interface (GUI), one or more processors, memory and one or more modules, programs or sets of instructions stored in the memory for performing multiple functions. In some embodiments, the user interacts with the GUI primarily through finger contacts and gestures on the touch-sensitive surface. In some embodiments, the functions optionally include image editing, drawing, presenting, word processing, website creating, disk authoring, spreadsheet making, game playing, telephoning, video conferencing, e-mailing, instant messaging, workout support, digital photographing, digital videoing, web browsing, digital music playing, and/or digital video playing. Executable instructions for performing these functions are, optionally, included in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium or other computer program product configured for execution by one or more processors.

Touch-sensitive display 112 is sometimes called a “touch screen” for convenience, and is sometimes known as or called a touch-sensitive display system.Device 100 includes memory 102 (which optionally includes one or more computer readable storage mediums),memory controller 122, one or more processing units (CPU's) 120, peripherals interface 118,RF circuitry 108,audio circuitry 110,speaker 111,microphone 113, input/output (I/O)subsystem 106, other input orcontrol devices 116, andexternal port 124.Device 100 optionally includes one or moreoptical sensors 164.Device 100 optionally includes one ormore intensity sensors 165 for detecting intensity of contacts on device 100 (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface such as touch-sensitive display system 112 of device 100).Device 100 optionally includes one or moretactile output generators 167 for generating tactile outputs on device 100 (e.g., generating tactile outputs on a touch-sensitive surface such as touch-sensitive display system 112 ofdevice 100 ortouchpad 355 of device 300). These components optionally communicate over one or more communication buses orsignal lines 103. - As used in the specification and claims, the term “intensity” of a contact on a touch-sensitive surface refers to the force or pressure (force per unit area) of a contact (e.g., a finger contact) on the touch sensitive surface, or to a substitute (proxy) for the force or pressure of a contact on the touch sensitive surface. The intensity of a contact has a range of values that includes at least four distinct values and more typically includes hundreds of distinct values (e.g., at least 256). Intensity of a contact is, optionally, determined (or measured) using various approaches and various sensors or combinations of sensors. For example, one or more force sensors underneath or adjacent to the touch-sensitive surface are, optionally, used to measure force at various points on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, force measurements from multiple force sensors are combined (e.g., a weighted average) to determine an estimated force of a contact. Similarly, a pressure-sensitive tip of a stylus is, optionally, used to determine a pressure of the stylus on the touch-sensitive surface. Alternatively, the size of the contact area detected on the touch-sensitive surface and/or changes thereto, the capacitance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate to the contact and/or changes thereto, and/or the resistance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate to the contact and/or changes thereto are, optionally, used as a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are used directly to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is described in units corresponding to the substitute measurements). In some implementations, the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are converted to an estimated force or pressure and the estimated force or pressure is used to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is a pressure threshold measured in units of pressure).
- As used in the specification and claims, the term “tactile output” refers to physical displacement of a device relative to a previous position of the device, physical displacement of a component (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface) of a device relative to another component (e.g., housing) of the device, or displacement of the component relative to a center of mass of the device that will be detected by a user with the user's sense of touch. For example, in situations where the device or the component of the device is in contact with a surface of a user that is sensitive to touch (e.g., a finger, palm, or other part of a user's hand), the tactile output generated by the physical displacement will be interpreted by the user as a tactile sensation corresponding to a perceived change in physical characteristics of the device or the component of the device. For example, movement of a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch-sensitive display or trackpad) is, optionally, interpreted by the user as a “down click” or “up click” of a physical actuator button. In some cases, a user will feel a tactile sensation such as an “down click” or “up click” even when there is no movement of a physical actuator button associated with the touch-sensitive surface that is physically pressed (e.g., displaced) by the user's movements. As another example, movement of the touch-sensitive surface is, optionally, interpreted or sensed by the user as “roughness” of the touch-sensitive surface, even when there is no change in smoothness of the touch-sensitive surface. While such interpretations of touch by a user will be subject to the individualized sensory perceptions of the user, there are many sensory perceptions of touch that are common to a large majority of users. Thus, when a tactile output is described as corresponding to a particular sensory perception of a user (e.g., an “up click,” a “down click,” “roughness”), unless otherwise stated, the generated tactile output corresponds to physical displacement of the device or a component thereof that will generate the described sensory perception for a typical (or average) user.

The one or more buttons (e.g., 208,FIG. 2 ) optionally include an up/down button for volume control ofspeaker 111 and/ormicrophone 113. The one or more buttons optionally include a push button (e.g., 206,FIG. 2 ). - Touch-

In some embodiments, the user interface is designed to work primarily with finger-based contacts and gestures, which can be less precise than stylus-based input due to the larger area of contact of a finger on the touch screen. In some embodiments, the device translates the rough finger-based input into a precise pointer/cursor position or command for performing the actions desired by the user. - In some embodiments, in addition to the touch screen,

motion module 130 optionally detects contact with touch screen 112 (in conjunction with display controller 156) and other touch sensitive devices (e.g., a touchpad or physical click wheel). Contact/motion module 130 includes various software components for performing various operations related to detection of contact, such as determining if contact has occurred (e.g., detecting a finger-down event), determining an intensity of the contact (e.g., the force or pressure of the contact or a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact), determining if there is movement of the contact and tracking the movement across the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., detecting one or more finger-dragging events), and determining if the contact has ceased (e.g., detecting a finger-up event or a break in contact). Contact/motion module 130 receives contact data from the touch-sensitive surface. Determining movement of the point of contact, which is represented by a series of contact data, optionally includes determining speed (magnitude), velocity (magnitude and direction), and/or an acceleration (a change in magnitude and/or direction) of the point of contact. These operations are, optionally, applied to single contacts (e.g., one finger contacts) or to multiple simultaneous contacts (e.g., “multitouch”/multiple finger contacts). In some embodiments, contact/motion module 130 anddisplay controller 156 detect contact on a touchpad. - In some embodiments, contact/
motion module 130 uses a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an operation has been performed by a user (e.g., to determine whether a user has “clicked” on an icon). In some embodiments at least a subset of the intensity thresholds are determined in accordance with software parameters (e.g., the intensity thresholds are not determined by the activation thresholds of particular physical actuators and can be adjusted without changing the physical hardware of device 100). For example, a mouse “click” threshold of a trackpad or touch screen display can be set to any of a large range of predefined thresholds values without changing the trackpad or touch screen display hardware. Additionally, in some implementations a user of the device is provided with software settings for adjusting one or more of the set of intensity thresholds (e.g., by adjusting individual intensity thresholds and/or by adjusting a plurality of intensity thresholds at once with a system-level click “intensity” parameter). - Contact/
motion module 130 optionally detects a gesture input by a user. Different gestures on the touch-sensitive surface have different contact patterns (e.g., different motions, timings, and/or intensities of detected contacts). Thus, a gesture is, optionally, detected by detecting a particular contact pattern. For example, detecting a finger tap gesture includes detecting a finger-down event followed by detecting a finger-up (lift off) event at the same position (or substantially the same position) as the finger-down event (e.g., at the position of an icon). As another example, detecting a finger swipe gesture on the touch-sensitive surface includes detecting a finger-down event followed by detecting one or more finger-dragging events, and subsequently followed by detecting a finger-up (lift off) event. -
Graphics module 132 includes various known software components for rendering and displaying graphics ontouch screen 112 or other display, including components for changing the visual impact (e.g., brightness, transparency, saturation, contrast or other visual property) of graphics that are displayed.

graphics module 132 stores data representing graphics to be used. Each graphic is, optionally, assigned a corresponding code.Graphics module 132 receives, from applications etc., one or more codes specifying graphics to be displayed along with, if necessary, coordinate data and other graphic property data, and then generates screen image data to output to displaycontroller 156. -

In some embodiments,instant messaging module 141, rather thane-mail client module 140, is used to send a link to a particular online video. - Each of the above identified modules and applications correspond to a set of executable instructions for performing one or more functions described above and the methods described in this application (e.g., the computer-implemented methods and other information processing methods described herein). These modules (i.e., sets of instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs, procedures or modules, and thus various subsets of these modules are, optionally, combined or otherwise re-arranged in various embodiments. In some embodiments,
memory 102 optionally stores a subset of the modules and data structures identified above. Furthermore,memory 102 optionally stores additional modules and data structures not described above. - In some embodiments,
device 100 is a device where operation of a predefined set of functions on the device is performed exclusively through a touch screen and/or a touchpad. By using a touch screen and/or a touchpad as the primary input control device for operation ofdevice 100, the number of physical input control devices (such as push buttons, dials, and the like) ondevice 100 is, optionally, reduced. - The predefined set of functions that are performed exclusively through a touch screen and/or a touchpad optionally include navigation between user interfaces. In some embodiments, the touchpad, when touched by the user, navigates
device 100 to a main, home, or root menu from any user interface that is displayed ondevice 100. In such embodiments, a “menu button” is implemented using a touchpad. In some other embodiments, the menu button is a physical push button or other physical input control device instead of a touchpad. -
FIG. 1B is a block diagram illustrating exemplary components for event handling in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments, memory 102 (inFIG. 1A ) or 370 (FIG. 3 ) includes event sorter 170 (e.g., in operating system 126) and a respective application 136-1 (e.g., any of the aforementioned applications 137-13, 155, 380-390). -
Event sorter 170 receives event information and determines the application 136-1 andapplication view 191 of application 136-1 to which to deliver the event information.Event sorter 170 includes event monitor 171 andevent dispatcher module 174. In some embodiments, application 136-1 includes applicationinternal state 192, which indicates the current application view(s) displayed on touchsensitive display 112 when the application is active or executing. In some embodiments, device/globalinternal state 157 is used byevent sorter 170 to determine which application(s) is (are) currently active, and applicationinternal state 192 is used byevent sorter 170 to determineapplication views 191 to which to deliver event information. - In some embodiments, application
internal state 192 includes additional information, such as one or more of: resume information to be used when application 136-1 resumes execution, user interface state information that indicates information being displayed or that is ready for display by application 136-1, a state queue for enabling the user to go back to a prior state or view of application 136-1, and a redo/undo queue of previous actions taken by the user. -
Event monitor 171 receives event information fromperipherals interface 118. Event information includes information about a sub-event (e.g., a user touch on touch-sensitive display 112, as part of a multi-touch gesture). Peripherals interface 118 transmits information it receives from I/O subsystem 106 or a sensor, such asproximity sensor 166, accelerometer(s) 168, and/or microphone 113 (through audio circuitry 110). Information that peripherals interface 118 receives from I/O subsystem 106 includes information from touch-sensitive display 112 or a touch-sensitive surface. - In some embodiments, event monitor 171 sends requests to the peripherals interface 118 at predetermined intervals. In response, peripherals interface 118 transmits event information. In other embodiments,
peripheral interface 118 transmits event information only when there is a significant event (e.g., receiving an input above a predetermined noise threshold and/or for more than a predetermined duration). - In some embodiments,
event sorter 170 also includes a hitview determination module 172 and/or an active eventrecognizer determination module 173. - Hit
view determination module 172 provides software procedures for determining where a sub-event has taken place within one or more views, when touchsensitive display 112 displays more than one view. Views are made up of controls and other elements that a user can see on the display. - Another aspect of the user interface associated with an application is a set of views, sometimes herein called application views or user interface windows, in which information is displayed and touch-based gestures occur. The application views (of a respective application) in which a touch is detected optionally correspond to programmatic levels within a programmatic or view hierarchy of the application. For example, the lowest level view in which a touch is detected is, optionally, called the hit view, and the set of events that are recognized as proper inputs are, optionally, determined based, at least in part, on the hit view of the initial touch that begins a touch-based gesture.
- Hit
view determination module 172 receives information related to sub-events of a touch-based gesture. When an application has multiple views organized in a hierarchy, hitview determination module 172 identifies a hit view as the lowest view in the hierarchy which should handle the sub-event. In most circumstances, the hit view is the lowest level view in which an initiating sub-event occurs (i.e., the first sub-event in the sequence of sub-events that form an event or potential event). Once the hit view is identified by the hit view determination module, the hit view typically receives all sub-events related to the same touch or input source for which it was identified as the hit view. - Active event
recognizer determination module 173 determines which view or views within a view hierarchy should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In some embodiments, active eventrecognizer determination module 173 determines that only the hit view should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, active eventrecognizer determination module 173 determines that all views that include the physic allocation of a sub-event are actively involved views, and therefore determines that all actively involved views should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, even if touch sub-events were entirely confined to the area associated with one particular view, views higher in the hierarchy would still remain as actively involved views. -
Event dispatcher module 174 dispatches the event information to an event recognizer (e.g., event recognizer 180). In embodiments including active eventrecognizer determination module 173,event dispatcher module 174 delivers the event information to an event recognizer determined by active eventrecognizer determination module 173. In some embodiments,event dispatcher module 174 stores in an event queue the event information, which is retrieved by a respectiveevent receiver module 182. - In some embodiments,
operating system 126 includesevent sorter 170. Alternatively, application 136-1 includesevent sorter 170. In yet other embodiments,event sorter 170 is a stand-alone module, or a part of another module stored inmemory 102, such as contact/motion module 130. - In some embodiments, application 136-1 includes a plurality of
event handlers 190 and one or more application views 191, each of which includes instructions for handling touch events that occur within a respective view of the application's user interface. Eachapplication view 191 of the application 136-1 includes one ormore event recognizers 180. Typically, arespective application view 191 includes a plurality ofevent recognizers 180. In other embodiments, one or more ofevent recognizers 180 are part of a separate module, such as a user interface kit (not shown) or a higher level object from which application 136-1 inherits methods and other properties. In some embodiments, arespective event handler 190 includes one or more of:data updater 176,object updater 177,GUI updater 178, and/orevent data 179 received fromevent sorter 170.Event handler 190 optionally utilizes or callsdata updater 176,object updater 177 orGUI updater 178 to update the applicationinternal state 192. Alternatively, one or more of the application views 191 includes one or morerespective event handlers 190. Also, in some embodiments, one or more ofdata updater 176,object updater 177, andGUI updater 178 are included in arespective application view 191. - A
respective event recognizer 180 receives event information (e.g., event data 179) fromevent sorter 170, and identifies an event from the event information.Event recognizer 180 includesevent receiver 182 andevent comparator 184. In some embodiments,event recognizer 180 also includes at least a subset of:metadata 183, and event delivery instructions 188 (which optionally include sub-event delivery instructions). -
Event receiver 182 receives event information fromevent sorter 170. The event information includes information about a sub-event, for example, a touch or a touch movement. Depending on the sub-event, the event information also includes additional information, such as location of the sub-event. When the sub-event concerns motion of a touch, the event information optionally also includes speed and direction of the sub-event. In some embodiments, events include rotation of the device from one orientation to another (e.g., from a portrait orientation to a landscape orientation, or vice versa), and the event information includes corresponding information about the current orientation (also called device attitude) of the device. -
Event comparator 184 compares the event information to predefined event or sub event definitions and, based on the comparison, determines an event or sub-event, or determines or updates the state of an event or sub-event. In some embodiments,event comparator 184 includesevent definitions 186.Event definitions 186 contain definitions of events (e.g., predefined sequences of sub-events), for example, event 1 (187-1), event 2 (187-2), and others. In some embodiments, sub-events in an event 187 include, for example, touch begin, touch end, touch movement, touch cancellation, and multiple touching. In one example, the definition for event 1 (187-1) is a double tap on a displayed object. The double tap, for example, comprises a first touch (touch begin) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, a first lift-off (touch end) for a predetermined phase, a second touch (touch begin) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, and a second lift-off (touch end) for a predetermined phase. In another example, the definition for event 2 (187-2) is a dragging on a displayed object. The dragging, for example, comprises a touch (or contact) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, a movement of the touch across touch-sensitive display 112, and lift-off of the touch (touch end). In some embodiments, the event also includes information for one or more associatedevent handlers 190. - In some embodiments, event definition 187 includes a definition of an event for a respective user-interface object. In some embodiments,
event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which user-interface object is associated with a sub-event. For example, in an application view in which three user-interface objects are displayed on touch-sensitive display 112, when a touch is detected on touch-sensitive display 112,event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which of the three user-interface objects is associated with the touch (sub-event). If each displayed object is associated with arespective event handler 190, the event comparator uses the result of the hit test to determine whichevent handler 190 should be activated. For example,event comparator 184 selects an event handler associated with the sub-event and the object triggering the hit test. - In some embodiments, the definition for a respective event 187 also includes delayed actions that delay delivery of the event information until after it has been determined whether the sequence of sub-events does or does not correspond to the event recognizer's event type.
- When a
respective event recognizer 180 determines that the series of sub-events do not match any of the events inevent definitions 186, therespective event recognizer 180 enters an event impossible, event failed, or event ended state, after which it disregards subsequent sub-events of the touch-based gesture. In this situation, other event recognizers, if any, that remain active for the hit view continue to track and process sub-events of an ongoing touch-based gesture. - In some embodiments, a
respective event recognizer 180 includesmetadata 183 with configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how the event delivery system should perform sub-event delivery to actively involved event recognizers. In some embodiments,metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how event recognizers interact, or are enabled to interact, with one another. In some embodiments,metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate whether sub-events are delivered to varying levels in the view or programmatic hierarchy. - In some embodiments, a
respective event recognizer 180 activatesevent handler 190 associated with an event when one or more particular sub-events of an event are recognized. In some embodiments, arespective event recognizer 180 delivers event information associated with the event toevent handler 190. Activating anevent handler 190 is distinct from sending (and deferred sending) sub-events to a respective hit view. In some embodiments,event recognizer 180 throws a flag associated with the recognized event, andevent handler 190 associated with the flag catches the flag and performs a predefined process. - In some embodiments,
event delivery instructions 188 include sub-event delivery instructions that deliver event information about a sub-event without activating an event handler. Instead, the sub-event delivery instructions deliver event information to event handlers associated with the series of sub-events or to actively involved views. Event handlers associated with the series of sub-events or with actively involved views receive the event information and perform a predetermined process. - In some embodiments,
data updater 176 creates and updates data used in application 136-1. For example,data updater 176 updates the telephone number used incontacts module 137, or stores a video file used in video player module 145. In some embodiments, objectupdater 177 creates and updates objects used in application 136-1. For example, objectupdater 177 creates a new user-interface object or updates the position of a user-interface object.GUI updater 178 updates the GUI. For example,GUI updater 178 prepares display information and sends it tographics module 132 for display on a touch-sensitive display. - In some embodiments, event handler(s) 190 includes or has access to
data updater 176,object updater 177, andGUI updater 178. In some embodiments,data updater 176,object updater 177, andGUI updater 178 are included in a single module of a respective application 136-1 orapplication view 191. In other embodiments, they are included in two or more software modules. - It shall be understood that the foregoing discussion regarding event handling of user touches on touch-sensitive displays also applies to other forms of user inputs to operate
multifunction devices 100 with input-devices, not all of which are initiated on touch screens. For example, mouse movement and mouse button presses, optionally coordinated with single or multiple keyboard presses or holds; contact movements such as taps, drags, scrolls, etc., on touch-pads; pen stylus inputs; movement of the device; oral instructions; detected eye movements; biometric inputs; and/or any combination thereof are optionally utilized as inputs corresponding to sub-events which define an event to be recognized. -
FIG. 2 illustrates aportable multifunction device 100 having atouch screen 112 in accordance with some embodiments. The touch screen optionally displays one or more graphics within user interface (UI) 200. In this embodiment, as well as others described below, a user is enabled to select one or more of the graphics by making a gesture on the graphics, for example, with one or more fingers 202 (not drawn to scale in the figure) or one or more styluses 203 (not drawn to scale in the figure). In some embodiments, selection of one or more graphics occurs when the user breaks contact with the one or more graphics. In some embodiments, the gesture optionally includes one or more taps, one or more swipes (from left to right, right to left, upward and/or downward) and/or a rolling of a finger (from right to left, left to right, upward and/or downward) that has made contact withdevice 100. In some implementations or circumstances, inadvertent contact with a graphic does not select the graphic. For example, a swipe gesture that sweeps over an application icon optionally does not select the corresponding application when the gesture corresponding to selection is a tap. -
Device 100 optionally also includes one or more physical buttons, such as “home” ormenu button 204. As described previously,menu button 204 is, optionally, used to navigate to anyapplication 136 in a set of applications that are, optionally executed ondevice 100. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the menu button is implemented as a soft key in a GUI displayed ontouch screen 112. - In one embodiment,
device 100 includestouch screen 112,menu button 204,push button 206 for powering the device on/off and locking the device, volume adjustment button(s) 208, Subscriber Identity Module (SIM)card slot 210, head setjack 212, and docking/chargingexternal port 124.Push button 206 is, optionally, used to turn the power on/off on the device by depressing the button and holding the button in the depressed state for a predefined time interval; to lock the device by depressing the button and releasing the button before the predefined time interval has elapsed; and/or to unlock the device or initiate an unlock process. In an alternative embodiment,device 100 also accepts verbal input for activation or deactivation of some functions throughmicrophone 113.Device 100 also, optionally, includes one or morecontact intensity sensors 165 for detecting intensity of contacts ontouch screen 112 and/or one or moretactile output generators 167 for generating tactile outputs for a user ofdevice 100. -
FIG. 3 is a block diagram of an exemplary multifunction device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface in accordance with some embodiments.Device 300 need not be portable. In some embodiments,device 300 is a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a tablet computer, a multimedia player device, a navigation device, an educational device (such as a child's learning toy), a gaming system, or a control device (e.g., a home or industrial controller).Device 300 typically includes one or more processing units (CPU's) 310, one or more network orother communications interfaces 360,memory 370, and one ormore communication buses 320 for interconnecting these components.Communication buses 320 optionally include circuitry (sometimes called a chipset) that interconnects and controls communications between system components.Device 300 includes input/output (I/O)interface 330 comprisingdisplay 340, which is typically a touch screen display (e.g., touch screen display 112). I/O interface 330 also optionally includes a keyboard and/or mouse (or other pointing device) 350 andtouchpad 355,tactile output generator 357 for generating tactile outputs on device 300 (e.g., similar to tactile output generator(s) 167 described above with reference toFIG. 1A ), sensors 359 (e.g., optical, acceleration, proximity, touch-sensitive, and/or contact intensity sensors similar to contact intensity sensor(s) 165 described above with reference toFIG. 1A ).Memory 370 includes high-speed random access memory, such as DRAM, SRAM, DDR RAM or other random access solid state memory devices; and optionally includes non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic disk storage devices, optical disk storage devices, flash memory devices, or other non-volatile solid state storage devices.Memory 370 optionally includes one or more storage devices remotely located from CPU(s) 310. In some embodiments,memory 370 stores programs, modules, and data structures analogous to the programs, modules, and data structures stored inmemory 102 of portable multifunction device 100 (FIG. 1A ), or a subset thereof. Furthermore,memory 370 optionally stores additional programs, modules, and data structures not present inmemory 102 of portablemultifunction device 100. For example,memory 370 ofdevice 300 optionallystores drawing module 380,presentation module 382,word processing module 384,website creation module 386,disk authoring module 388, and/orspreadsheet module 390, whilememory 102 of portable multifunction device 100 (FIG. 1A ) optionally does not store these modules. - Each of the above identified elements in
FIG. 3 are, optionally, stored in one or more of the previously mentioned memory devices. Each of the above identified modules corresponds to a set of instructions for performing a function described above. The above identified modules or programs (i.e., sets of instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs, procedures or modules, and thus various subsets of these modules are, optionally, combined or otherwise re-arranged in various embodiments. In some embodiments,memory 370 optionally stores a subset of the modules and data structures identified above. Furthermore,memory 370 optionally stores additional modules and data structures not described above. - Attention is now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces (“UI”) that is, optionally, implemented on
portable multifunction device 100. -
FIG. 4A illustrates an exemplary user interface for a menu of applications onportable multifunction device 100 in accordance with some embodiments. Similar user interfaces are, optionally, implemented ondevice 300. In some embodiments,user interface 400 includes the following elements, or a subset or superset thereof: - Signal strength indicator(s) 402 for wireless communication(s), such as cellular and WiFi signals;

Icon 444 fornotes module 153, labeled “Notes”; and -
Icon 446 for a settings application or module, which provides access to settings fordevice 100 and itsvarious applications 136.
-
-
- It should be noted that the icon labels illustrated in
FIG. 4A are merely exemplary. For example,icon 422 for video andmusic player module 152 are labeled “Music” or “Music Player.” Other labels are, optionally, used for various application icons. In some embodiments, a label for a respective application icon includes a name of an application corresponding to the respective application icon. In some embodiments, a label for a particular application icon is distinct from a name of an application corresponding to the particular application icon. -
FIG. 4B illustrates an exemplary user interface on a device (e.g.,device 300,FIG. 3 ) with a touch-sensitive surface 451 (e.g., a tablet ortouchpad 355,FIG. 3 ) that is separate from the display 450 (e.g., touch screen display 112).Device 300 also, optionally, includes one or more contact intensity sensors (e.g., one or more of sensors 357) for detecting intensity of contacts on touch-sensitive surface 451 and/or one or moretactile output generators 359 for generating tactile outputs for a user ofdevice 300. - Although some of the examples which follow will be given with reference to inputs on touch screen display 112 (where the touch sensitive surface and the display are combined), in some embodiments, the device detects inputs on a touch-sensitive surface that is separate from the display, as shown in
FIG. 4B . In some embodiments the touch sensitive surface (e.g., 451 inFIG. 4B ) has a primary axis (e.g., 452 inFIG. 4B ) that corresponds to a primary axis (e.g., 453 inFIG. 4B ) on the display (e.g., 450). In accordance with these embodiments, the device detects contacts (e.g., 460 and 462 inFIG. 4B ) with the touch-sensitive surface 451 at locations that correspond to respective locations on the display (e.g., inFIG. 4B, 460 corresponds to 468 and 462 corresponds to 470). In this way, user inputs (e.g.,contacts FIG. 4B ) are used by the device to manipulate the user interface on the display (e.g., 450 inFIG. 4B ) of the multifunction device when the touch-sensitive surface is separate from the display. It should be understood that similar methods are, optionally, used for other user interfaces described herein. - Additionally, while the following examples are given primarily with reference to finger inputs (e.g., finger contacts, finger tap gestures, finger swipe gestures), it should be understood that, in some embodiments, one or more of the finger inputs are replaced with input from another input device (e.g., a mouse based input or stylus input). For example, a swipe gesture is, optionally, replaced with a mouse click (e.g., instead of a contact) followed by movement of the cursor along the path of the swipe (e.g., instead of movement of the contact). As another example, a tap gesture is, optionally, replaced with a mouse click while the cursor is located over the location of the tap gesture (e.g., instead of detection of the contact followed by ceasing to detect the contact). Similarly, when multiple user inputs are simultaneously detected, it should be understood that multiple computer mice are, optionally, used simultaneously, or a mouse and finger contacts are, optionally, used simultaneously.
- As used herein, the term “focus selector” refers to an input element that indicates a current part of a user interface with which a user is interacting. In some implementations that include a cursor or other location marker, the cursor acts as a “focus selector,” so that when an input (e.g., a press input) is detected on a touch-sensitive surface (e.g.,
touchpad 355 inFIG. 3 or touch-sensitive surface 451 inFIG. 4B ) while the cursor is over a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider or other user interface element), the particular user interface element is adjusted in accordance with the detected input. In some implementations that include a touch-screen display (e.g., touch-sensitive display system 112 inFIG. 1A ortouch screen 112 inFIG. 4A ) that enables direct interaction with user interface elements on the touch-screen display, a detected contact on the touch-screen acts as a “focus selector,” so that when an input (e.g., a press input by the contact) is detected on the touch-screen display at a location of a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider or other user interface element), the particular user interface element is adjusted in accordance with the detected input. In some implementations focus is moved from one region of a user interface to another region of the user interface without corresponding movement of a cursor or movement of a contact on a touch-screen display (e.g., by using a tab key or arrow keys to move focus from one button to another button); in these implementations, the focus selector moves in accordance with movement of focus between different regions of the user interface. Without regard to the specific form taken by the focus selector, the focus selector is generally the user interface element (or contact on a touch-screen display) that is controlled by the user so as to communicate the user's intended interaction with the user interface (e.g., by indicating, to the device, the element of the user interface with which the user is intending to interact). For example, the location of a focus selector (e.g., a cursor, a contact or a selection box) over a respective button while a press input is detected on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touchpad or touch screen) will indicate that the user is intending to activate the respective button (as opposed to other user interface elements shown on a display of the device). -

- In some embodiments,
device 100 drives the one ormore displays 546 ofsystem 540. For example,device 100 sends a video signal tosystem 540, andCPU 542 ofsystem 540 renders the video signal on the one ormore displays 546. In some embodiments,device 100 sends a video signal directly to the one ormore displays 546 andCPU 542 is not used to render the video signal (e.g.,device 100 usesdisplay 546 as an auxiliary display). In some embodiments, the user interface displayed ontouch screen 112 ofdevice 100 is synchronized with the user interface displayed on the one ormore displays 546 ofsystem 540, and, in some other embodiments, the user interface displayed ontouch screen 112 ofdevice 100 is not continuously synchronized with the user interface displayed on the one ormore displays 546 ofsystem 540 and at times (e.g., while a user ofdevice 100 is viewing information about possible driving destinations but has not yet selected a driving destination)touchscreen 112 ofdevice 100 displays different information from that displayed ondisplay 546 of system 540 (e.g.,touch screen 112 anddisplay 546 are intermittently synchronized with periods in between the intermittent synchronization events where they are not synchronized). - In some embodiments, in response to detecting a user input (e.g., a user touch input associated with a respective display of the one or
more displays 546 or a user input associated with a respective control of the plurality of controls 548), system 540 (or the respective display of the one ormore displays 546, or the respective control of the plurality of controls 548) sends input information (e.g., an identifier for the input source and an input description describing the user input) corresponding to the user input todevice 100. In turn,device 100 updates the user interface displayed on the respective display of the one ormore displays 546 and/ortouch screen 112 ofdevice 100 in accordance with the received input information and/or the display state of the user interface displayed on the respective display of the one ormore displays 546 at or before the user input. -
FIG. 5B is a flow diagram illustrating a process of selecting an affected display and sending update information to the affected display. The affected display (e.g., primary display 546-1) displays (560) a user interface. A respective input source (e.g., jog dial 675 shown inFIGS. 6W-6FF ) that is a control ofsystem 540 detects (561) a user input (e.g., rotation of jog dial 675). In some embodiments, the respective input source is one ofcontrols 548 and the user input is an interaction with one ofcontrols 548. For example, controls 548 include buttons, switches, dials, knobs, other mechanical affordances, touch-sensitive surfaces, or other input sources. For example, the user input is rotation of a knob or dial, depression of an affordance or knob, a touch input detected on a touch-sensitive surface or touch screen, or other user interaction withcontrols 548. - In response to detecting the user input, the respective input source sends (562) input information (e.g., {Source ID; Input Description}) to
device 100. In some embodiments, the input information includes a unique identifier for the input source and input description information that describes the user input. For example, the input description information is raw input data such as the magnitude and direction of rotation of a jog dial, contact locations and movement amounts/directions detected on a touch-sensitive surface and/or gesture data describing a type of gesture that was performed on the touch-sensitive surface. -
Device 100 receives (564) the input information from the respective input source.Device 100 selects an affected display by correlating the unique identifier (e.g., source ID) included in the input information with a display identifier tag (e.g., a display ID) based at least in part on input-source mapping 566. In some embodiments, the input-source mapping 566 is stored in memory ofdevice 100. For example,device 100 associates rotation ofjog dial 675 with a first display (e.g., display 546-1 inFIGS. 6W-6CC ) based on input-source mapping 566 whenjog dial 675 is associated with the first display. Alternatively, whenjog dial 675 is associated with a second display (e.g., display 546-2 inFIGS. 6DD-6FF ),device 100 associates rotation ofjog dial 675 with the second display. In some embodiments, multiple inputs sources are mapped to a same display. However, in some embodiments, each input source is mapped no more than a single display. In some embodiments, input-source mapping 566 is updated bydevice 100 in response to detecting input-source-mapping update events (e.g., a vehicle associated with the first display starting to back up and taking control of the first display, or an input associating a jog dial with the second display instead of the first display) and/or in accordance with a predetermined schedule. - After selecting the affected display,
device 100 determines a respective state of the user interface displayed on the affected display by correlating the display ID (determined based on input-source mapping 566) for the affected display with display state information (e.g., what kind of user interface is displayed in the display, what user interface elements are displayed, and/or which controls are associated with which functions such as volume control or scrolling) based at least in part on user interface state table 568. In some embodiments, the user interface state table 568 is stored in memory ofdevice 100. After determining the respective state of the user interface displayed on the affected display,device 100 generates (570) an updated user interface for the affected display in accordance with the respective state of the user interface displayed on the affected display and the input description information, anddevice 100 sends the updated user interface (or information for generating an updated user interface) to the affected display. In some embodiments,device 100 also updates user interface state table 568 so that the state information associated with the display ID corresponding to the affected display reflects the updated user interface (e.g., for use in responding to subsequent input information received from the input source). - In response to receiving the updated user interface (e.g., update information) from
device 100, the affected display updates (574), the user interface displayed on the affected displayed so as to display the updated user interface (e.g., by replacing an image of a user interface previously provided bydevice 100 with an updated image of the user interface provided bydevice 100 in the update information). - Attention is now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces (“UI”) and associated processes that may be implemented on an electronic device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface, such as
device 300 or portablemultifunction device 100. -

For example,device 100 changes the input-source to display mapping based on communications from external information presentation system 540 (e.g., taking control of a display to show an output of a backup camera) or input-source-mapping update request such as a user switching a respective control from a first display mode in which the respective control controls a user interface in the first display to a second-display mode in which the respective control controls a user interface in the second display. In response to receiving the input information associated withturn 688,device 100 determines that the identifier included in the input information is associated with display 546-2 (e.g., associating the turn event withjog dial 675 which is currently mapped to display 546-2) based on the changed input-source to display mapping. After determining that the turn event detected inFIG. 6DD is associated with display 546-2,device 100 also determines the display state of display 546-2 shown inFIG. 6DD (e.g.,user interface 676 is in an album song list mode). -
FIG. 6DD further illustrates returning to display the list ofsongs 677 inuser interface 676 fromFIG. 6W on display 546-2 once the vehicle is no longer in reverse. -
FIG. 6EE illustrates displaying the turn-by-turn direction mode inuser interface 604 from 6BB on display 546-1.FIG. 6EE also illustrates displaying a scrolled downward list ofsongs 677 inuser interface 676 of display 546-2. InFIG. 6EE , display 546-2 displays the scrolled downward list ofsongs 677 inuser interface 676 in response to receiving update information fromdevice 100 including an updated user interface corresponding to turn 688 detected byjog dial 675 inFIG. 6DD and the display state ofuser interface 676 inFIG. 6DD (e.g., the album song list mode). InFIG. 6EE , in response to detecting turn 688 (e.g., an approximately 90 degree clockwise turn) ofjog dial 675 inFIG. 6DD , list ofsongs 677 is scrolled downward inuser interface 604. -
FIG. 6EE further illustrates detecting an upward swipe gesture (sometimes herein also called a “drag” gesture) withuser touch input 689 moving fromposition 689 a to position 689 b on display 546-2. In response to detecting user touch input 689 (or the swipe gesture), display 546-2 (or system 540) sends input information indicative of touch input 689 (or the swipe gesture) todevice 100. The input information includes an identifier associated with the touch-sensitive surface of display 546-2 (e.g., a unique identifier associated with the touch-sensitive surface of display 546-2) and input description information describing touch input 689 (or the swipe gesture). In response to receiving the input information associated with touch input 689 (or the swipe gesture),device 100 determines that the identifier included in the input information is associated with display 546-2 (e.g., associating the touch event (or the gesture) with the touch-sensitive surface of display 546-2) based on the input-source to display mapping. After determining that the touch event detected inFIG. 6EE is associated with display 546-2,device 100 also determines the display state of display 546-2 shown inFIG. 6EE (e.g.,user interface 676 is in the album song list mode). -
FIG. 6FF illustrates displaying the turn-by-turn direction mode inuser interface 604 from 6BB on display 546-1.FIG. 6FF also illustrates displaying a scrolled upward list ofsongs 677 inuser interface 676 of display 546-2. InFIG. 6FF , display 546-2 displays the scrolled upward list ofsongs 677 inuser interface 604 in response to receiving update information fromdevice 100 including an updated user interface corresponding to the swipe gesture detected on display 546-2 inFIG. 6EE and the display state ofuser interface 676 inFIG. 6EE (e.g., the album song list mode). InFIG. 6FF , in response to detecting the upward swipe gesture inFIG. 6EE , list ofsongs 677 is scrolled upward inuser interface 604. -
FIGS. 7A-7D are flow diagrams illustrating amethod 700 of synchronizing two or more displays in accordance with some embodiments.Method 700 is performed at a first electronic device (e.g.,device 300,FIG. 3 , or portablemultifunction device 100,FIG. 1A ) with a first display and a touch-sensitive surface. In some embodiments, the first display is a touch screen display (e.g., touch screen 112) and the touch-sensitive surface is on the first display. In some embodiments, the first display is separate from the touch-sensitive surface. Some operations inmethod 700 are, optionally, combined and/or the order of some operations is, optionally, changed. - As described below,
method 700 provides an intuitive way to synchronize two or more displays. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user when displaying information on two or more displays, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated electronic devices, enabling a user to use information displayed on two or more displays faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges. - The first electronic device displays (702) a first user interface on the first display. In some embodiments, the first electronic device is a portable multifunction computing device such as a smart phone or tablet computer.
FIGS. 6A-6V , for example, show portable multifunction device 100 (sometimes herein called “device 100”) displaying user interface 602 (e.g., the first user interface) ontouch screen 112. - The first user interface enables (704) selection between a plurality of selectable objects (e.g., search results that correspond to a previously performed search operation).
FIG. 6D , for example, shows user interface objects (e.g., pins) corresponding to the dry cleaners represented bypins user interface 602 ofdevice 100. The dry cleaners represented bypins user interface 602 inFIG. 6D in response to a search query for “dry cleaning” nearby thecurrent location 608 ofdevice 100 inFIG. 6C . - The first user interface corresponds to a second user interface displayed on a second display different from the first display. In some embodiments, the first user interface and the second user interface are user interfaces for a same respective application (e.g., an application running on the first electronic device). User interface 602 (e.g., the first user interface) displayed on
touch screen 112 ofdevice 100 corresponds to user interface 604 (e.g., the second user interface) displayed on display 546-1 (e.g., a touch screen display) of external information presentation system 540 (sometimes herein called “system 540”). In some embodiments, display 546-1 is a primary display of a plurality of displays associated withsystem 540. In some embodiments, display 546-1 is implemented in the dashboard of the vehicle and is visually accessible to the driver and/or passenger of the vehicle. - A first object from the plurality of selectable objects is displayed as a selected object in the second user interface (e.g., the first user object is a currently selected object in the second user interface).
FIG. 6D , for example, showsinformation box 613 corresponding to the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 a displayed inuser interface 602.Information box 613 is displayed inuser interface 602 due to the fact that the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 a is automatically selected based on predetermined criteria.FIG. 6D , for example, further showsroute 616 from thecurrent location 608 ofdevice 100 to automatically selected the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 a displayed inuser interface 604 of display 546-1. - In some embodiments, the first object was automatically selected (706) as the selected object based on predefined object selection criteria (e.g., after initiating a search and receiving a set of one or more search results, a first object that corresponds to the most relevant search result was automatically, without user intervention, selected as the selected object). In
FIG. 6D , for example, the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 a is automatically selected based on proximity, the establishment's ratings, the amount of reviews, the amount of times the user has frequented the establishment, and/or other factors. - In some embodiments, the plurality of selectable objects correspond to (708) a plurality of search results produced in response to a search query (e.g., a typed or spoken search query), and the selected object corresponds to a currently selected search result. In
FIG. 6D , for example, user interface objects (e.g., pins) corresponding to the dry cleaners represented bypins user interface 602 ofdevice 100 in response to the search query “dry cleaning” input intosearch box 609 inFIG. 6C . In some embodiments, the search query is manually input intosearch box 609 by way of a virtual keyboard displayed inuser interface 602 oftouch screen 112. In some other embodiments, the search query is audibly input intosearch query box 609 by way of a speech input from the user ofdevice 100. InFIG. 6D , for example, the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 a is automatically selected from the plurality of search results including the dry cleaners represented bypins FIG. 6D ,user interface 604 ofsystem 540displays route 616 fromcurrent location 608 ofuser device 100 to selected the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 a. - In some embodiments, the plurality of selectable objects correspond to (710) a plurality of map locations, and the selected object corresponds to a currently selected destination. In
FIG. 6D , for example, user interface objects (e.g., pins) corresponding to the dry cleaners represented bypins current location 608 ofdevice 100. Also, inFIG. 6D ,user interface 604 ofsystem 540displays route 616 fromcurrent location 608 ofuser device 100 to the map location for selected the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 a. - In some embodiments, the plurality of selectable objects correspond to (712) a plurality of navigation routes, and the selected object corresponds to a currently selected navigation route.
FIG. 6G , for example, shows a plurality of selectable user interface objects, including “route 1”affordance 631 b and “route 2”affordance 632 b, corresponding toroutes current location 608 ofuser device 100 to the dry cleaners represented bypins FIG. 6D ,user interface 604 ofsystem 540displays route 616 corresponding to highlightedroute 631 a inuser interface 602 fromcurrent location 608 ofuser device 100 to selected the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 a. - In some embodiments, the plurality of selectable objects correspond to (714) a plurality of content items that can be played (or presented) with the device (e.g., the plurality of selectable objects are songs, playlists, audio books, radio stations, or the like), and the selected object corresponds to a currently selected content item. For example, a respective song in a list of songs is displayed as an automatically selected song on a user interface of
touch screen 112 ofdevice 100 based at least in part on the amount of plays of the respective song, the ordinal position of the respective song in an album, the last played song, and other factors. In this example, the respective automatically selected song is displayed as being currently played on a user interface of display 546-1. - In some embodiments, the plurality of selectable objects correspond to (716) a plurality of applications, and the selected object corresponds to a currently selected application.
- In some embodiments, the second display is (718) a display coupled to a second electronic device that is different from the first electronic device (e.g., in place of a native GUI of the second electronic device).
FIGS. 6A-6V , for example, show display 546-1 (e.g., the second display) coupled to system 540 (e.g., the second electronic device) that is different (and separate) fromdevice 100. - In some embodiments, the second electronic device controls (720) an m-vehicle entertainment system with a native graphical user interface, and the second user interface is displayed on the second display instead of at least a portion of the native graphical user interface of the second electronic device (e.g., the second user interface is generated by an application running on the first electronic device and is displayed instead of some or all of the native graphical user interface of the in-vehicle entertainment system). In
FIGS. 6A-6V , for example,system 540 controls an in-vehicle entertainment system including display 546-1. For example,user interface 604 inFIG. 6A , including climate controls for a vehicle, is the native graphical user interface of the in-vehicle entertainment system.FIGS. 6B-6V , for example, showuser interface 604 including a map displayed on display 546-1 in place of the native graphical user interface (e.g., climate controls) as shown inFIG. 6A . - In some embodiments, the first electronic device receives (722) information that corresponds to a respective input from a control of the in-vehicle entertainment system (e.g., a tap or swipe gesture on a touch-sensitive surface associated with the second display, a button press operation for a button associated with the second display and/or a knob turn operation for a knob associated with the second display).
FIG. 6U , for example, showssystem 540 detectinguser touch input 672 over “start directions”affordance 672 inuser interface 604 of display 546-1. In this example,system 540 sends information todevice 100 indicating thatuser touch input 672 was detected over “start directions”affordance 672 inuser interface 604 of display 546-1. - In some embodiments, in response to receiving the information that corresponds to the respective input, the first electronic device updates (724) the first user interface and the second user interface in accordance with the respective input.
FIG. 6V , for example, showsdevice 100 updatinguser interface 602 to display turn-by-turn directions box 673 ontouch screen 112 anduser interface 604 to display a turn-by-turn mode on display 546-1. In some embodiments, whileuser interface 604 is in a turn-by-turn mode, the map displayed on display 546-1 is further zoomed into in comparison to whenuser interface 604 is not in turn-by-turn mode. - In some embodiments, the first user interface and the second user interface are both generated (726) by a same application running on the first electronic device (e.g., an application running on a smart phone generates a user interface for the phone and a user interface for display on a display of an in-vehicle entertainment system of a vehicle).
FIG. 6A , for example, showsuser touch input 606 selectingmaps application 436 inuser interface 602.FIGS. 6B-6V , for example,show maps application 436 running ondevice 100 and generating bothuser interface 602 on touch screen 112 (e.g., the first user interface) anduser interface 604 on display 546-1 (e.g., the second user interface). - While the first object is displayed (728) as the selected object in the second user interface, the first electronic device detects (730) a first input (e.g., a tap or swipe gesture on the first touch-sensitive surface of the first electronic device) from a user that corresponds to a request to display information about a second object in the plurality of selectable objects in the first user interface (e.g., without selecting the second object as the selected object).
FIG. 6L , for example, showsdevice 100 detectinguser touch input 643 over the user interface object (e.g., pin) corresponding to the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 b on the map displayed inuser interface 602 including the dry cleaners represented bypins FIG. 6L , for example, also showsuser system 540 displaying turn-by-turn directionsmode including route 616 frommarker 636 to the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 a inuser interface 604 of display 546-1 whiledevice 100 detects user touch - While the first object is displayed (728) as the selected object in the second user interface, in response to detecting the first input, the first electronic device updates (732) the first user interface on the first display in accordance with the first input to display respective information about the second object while display of the first object as the selected object in the second user interface is maintained.
FIG. 6M , for example, showsdevice 100 updatinguser interface 602 to displayinformation box 644 corresponding to the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 b in response to detectinguser touch input 643 over the user interface object (e.g., pin) corresponding to the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 b inFIG. 6L . Whileuser interface 602 is updated inFIG. 6M ,user interface 604 is maintained on display 546-1 inFIG. 6M as shown prior to detectinguser touch input 643 inFIG. 6L . - In some embodiments, the first user interface is updated (734) in response to detecting the first input without providing, to the second display, information that enables the second user interface on the second display to be updated to display the respective information about the second object in the second user interface (e.g., the first electronic device does not send the respective information to the second electronic device or the second display in response to the first input).
FIG. 6M , for example, showsdevice 100 updatinguser interface 602 ontouch screen 112 in response to detectinguser touch input 643 inFIG. 6L without providing information to display 546-1 (or system 540) that enablesuser interface 604 on display 546-1 to be updated. Whileuser interface 602 is updated inFIG. 6M ,user interface 604 is maintained on display 546-1 inFIG. 6M as shown prior to detectinguser touch input 643 inFIG. 6L . - In some embodiments, updating the first user interface on the first display in accordance with the first input to display respective information about the second object while display of the first object as the selected object in the second user interface is maintained includes (736) updating the first user interface on the first display in accordance with the first input to display respective information about the second object while the entire second user interface is maintained on the second display as it was displayed immediately prior to detecting the first input (e.g., the second user interface is not updated in response to the first update).
FIG. 6M , for example, showsdevice 100 updatinguser interface 602 ontouch screen 112 to displayinformation box 644 corresponding to the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 b in response to detectinguser touch input 643 inFIG. 6L . Whileuser interface 602 is updated inFIG. 6M ,user interface 604 is maintained on display 546-1 inFIG. 6M as shown prior to detectinguser touch input 643 inFIG. 6L . - While the first object is displayed (728) as the selected object in the second user interface, after updating the first user interface in accordance with the first input, the first electronic device detects (738) a second input from a user that corresponds to a request to select the second object as the selected object.
FIG. 6Q , for example, showsdevice 100 detectinguser touch input 661 corresponding to a request to display turn-by-turn directions forroute 659 a fromcurrent location 608 ofdevice 100 to the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 b (e.g., Mary Ann's Cleaners). - In response to detecting (740) the second input, the first electronic device updates (742) the first user interface on the first display in accordance with the second input to display the second object as the selected object.
FIG. 6R , for example, shows,device 100 updatinguser interface 602 to display turn-by-turn directions box 662 fromcurrent location 608 ofdevice 100 to the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 b (e.g., Mary Ann's Cleaners) in response to detectinguser touch input 661 inFIG. 6Q . - In response to detecting (740) the second input, the first electronic device provides (744), to the second display, information that enables the second user interface on the second display to be updated to display the second object as the selected object instead of the first object. In response to detecting
user touch input 661 inFIG. 6Q ,device 100 sendssystem 540 information to enablesystem 540 to updateuser interface 604 on display 546-1.FIG. 6R , for example, shows updateduser interface 604 where turn-by-turn directions mode (e.g., fromcurrent location 608 ofdevice 100 to the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 b) is displayed inuser interface 604 of display 546-1including marker 664 indicating the current location ofdevice 100, route 659 a to the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 b (e.g., Mary Ann's Cleaners), and turn-by-turn directions box 663 indicating the user's first direction (or turn) onroute 659 a. - In some embodiments, after providing the information that enables (746) the second user interface on the second display to be updated to display the second object as the selected object instead of the first object, the first electronic device enters (748) a display synchronization mode (e.g., entering a playlist play mode or driving directions mode). FIG. 6R, for example, shows
device 100 displaying turn-by-turn directions box 662 fromcurrent location 608 ofdevice 100 to the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 b inuser interface 602 of touch screen 112 (e.g., a display synchronization mode). In some embodiments, while in the display synchronization mode (750): the first electronic device periodically updates (752) the first user interface over time (e.g., updating displayed cover art as the first electronic device plays through a sequence of songs in a playlist or updating a displayed map to indicate progress of a vehicle moving along a navigation route). For example, whiledevice 100 displays turn-by-turn directions box 662 as shown inFIG. 6R ,device 100 periodically updatesuser interface 602 to show the updated next direction (or turn) onroute 659 a and the updated mileage and time remaining in turn-by-turn directions box 662 asdevice 100 approaches the destination (e.g., the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 b corresponding to Mary Ann's Cleaners). In some embodiments, while in the display synchronization mode (750): the first electronic device provides (754) information that enables the second user interface on the second display to be synchronized with the first user interface as the first user interface is updated over time (e.g., providing updated cover art or map images to the display as the first electronic device plays through the playlist or the vehicle moves along the navigation route). For example, whiledevice 100 displays turn-by-turn directions box 662 as shown inFIG. 6R ,device 100 provides information tosystem 540 that enablessystem 540 to display updateduser interface 604 including the updated next direction (or turn) onroute 659 a, the updated mileage and time remaining in turn-by-turn directions box 663 and marker 664 (e.g., the current location of device 100) asdevice 100 approaches the destination (e.g., the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 b corresponding to Mary Ann's Cleaners). - In some embodiments, prior to detecting the first input, the first user interface is synchronized (756) with the second user interface (e.g., the first object is displayed in both the first user interface and the second user interface as the selected object); after responding to the first input and prior to detecting the second input, the first user interface is not synchronized with the second user interface (e.g., a second object is displayed as the selected object in the first user interface while the second object remains displayed as the selected object in the second user interface); and after responding to the second input, the first user interface is synchronized with the second user interface (e.g., the second object is displayed as the selected object in both the first user interface and the second user interface).
- In
FIG. 6H ,first user interface 602 andsecond user interface 604 are synchronized.FIG. 6H , for example, showsuser interface 602 ontouch screen 112 displaying turn-by-turn directions box 634 indicating the user's first direction (or turn) onroute 631 a fromcurrent location 608 ofdevice 100 to the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 a (e.g., the selected first object) and the name of the selected first object, or destination, (e.g., ABC Cleaners).FIG. 6H , for example, also showsuser interface 604 on display 546-1 displaying a turn-by-turn directions mode withroute 616 from thecurrent location 608 ofdevice 100 to the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 a (e.g., the first selected object). - In
FIG. 6M ,first user interface 602 andsecond user interface 604 are not synchronized.FIG. 6M , for example, showsuser interface 602 ontouch screen 112 displayinginformation box 644 corresponding to the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 b (e.g., the selected second object).FIG. 6M , for example, also showsuser interface 604 on display 546-1 displayingroute 616 fromcurrent location 608 ofdevice 100 to the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 a (e.g., the selected first object). - In
FIG. 6R ,first user interface 602 andsecond user interface 604 are synchronized.FIG. 6R , for example, showsuser interface 602 ontouch screen 112 displaying turn-by-turn directions box 662 indicating the user's first direction (or turn) onroute 659 a fromcurrent location 608 ofdevice 100 to the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 b (e.g., the selected second object) and the name of the selected second object, or destination, (e.g., Mary Ann's Cleaners).FIG. 6R , for example, also showsuser interface 604 on display 546-1 displaying a turn-by-turn directions mode withroute 659 a fromcurrent location 608 ofdevice 100 to the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 b (e.g., the selected second object). - Thus, as described above, the user interface displayed on
touch screen display 112 and display 546-1 are intermittently synchronized. Intermittently synchronizing the user interfaces displayed ontouch screen display 112 and display 546-1 enables a passenger in a vehicle to browse through information displayed on touch screen display 112 (e.g., investigating different candidate destinations including contact information, reviews, descriptions, etc.) without the user interface that is displayed on the driver-visible display (e.g., display 546-1) updating constantly in response to the activity of the passenger. However, once the passenger has committed to an operation (e.g., selected a destination) in the user interface displayed ontouch screen display 112, the user interfaces on the displays are synchronized, so that the driver can drive to the selected destination and the user can help to navigate to the selected destination. Similarly, if the driver selects a destination in the user interface that is displayed on the driver-visible display (e.g., display 546-1), the user interface displayed ontouch screen display 112 is updated to reflect the driver's selection, so that the passenger can help the driver navigate to the selected destination. The intermittent synchronization of user interfaces described above is an improvement over a situation where the user interfaces displayed on two displays are continuously synchronized (e.g., because the passenger is able to view additional information without repeatedly changing the information displayed to the driver). Additionally, the intermittent synchronization of user interfaces describe above is an improvement over a situation where the user interfaces displayed on two displays are never synchronized (e.g., because the passenger does not need to take the additional step of updating a destination address in a car navigation system after looking up the address on device 100). - It should be understood that the particular order in which the operations in
FIGS. 7A-7D have been described is merely exemplary and is not intended to indicate that the described order is the only order in which the operations could be performed. One of ordinary skill in the art would recognize various ways to reorder the operations described herein. Additionally, it should be noted that details of other processes described herein with respect to other methods described herein (e.g.,methods 800 and 900) are also applicable in an analogous manner tomethod 700 described above with respect toFIGS. 7A-7D . For example, the contacts, gestures, user interface objects described above with reference tomethod 700 optionally have one or more of the characteristics of the contacts, gestures, user interface objects described herein with reference to other methods described herein (e.g.,methods 800 and 900). For brevity, these details are not repeated here. -
FIGS. 8A-8B are flow diagrams illustrating amethod 800 of synchronizing two or more displays in accordance with some embodiments.Method 800 is performed at a portable electronic device (e.g.,device 300,FIG. 3 , or portablemultifunction device 100,FIG. 1A ) that is in communication with a vehicle display of a vehicle. The portable electronic device includes a portable-device display and a touch-sensitive surface. In some embodiments, the portable-device display is a touch screen display and the touch-sensitive surface is on the portable-device. In some embodiments, the portable-device is separate from the touch-sensitive surface. Some operations inmethod 800 are, optionally, combined and/or the order of some operations is, optionally, changed. - As described below,
method 800 provides an intuitive way to synchronize two or more displays. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user when using two or more displays, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated electronic devices, enabling a user to synchronize two or more displays faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges. - The portable electronic device obtains (802) a set of map search results that includes a plurality of candidate destinations.
FIG. 6C , for example, shows a user search query (e.g., dry cleaning) displayed insearch box 609 inuser interface 602 oftouch screen 112. In response to the search query,device 100 obtains a set of map search results that includes a plurality of candidate destinations by searching a memory local todevice 100, a memory external todevice 100, the Internet, or a combination thereof. - The portable electronic device displays (804) a portable-device navigation interface on the portable-device display, where the portable-device navigation interface enables selection of a destination from the plurality of candidate destinations (e.g., search results that correspond to a previously performed search operation).
FIG. 6D , for example, shows a portable-device navigation interface (e.g., user interface 602) corresponding to the search query “dry cleaning” input intosearch query box 609 inFIG. 6C displayed ontouch screen 112. InFIG. 6D ,user interface 602 includes selectable user interface objects (e.g., pins), or affordances, corresponding to the dry cleaners represented bypins current location 608 ofdevice 100. - The portable electronic device sends (806) information to the vehicle display that enables the vehicle display to display a vehicle navigation interface, where a first destination of the plurality of candidate destinations is a selected destination in the vehicle navigation interface.
FIG. 6D , for example, shows a vehicle navigation interface (e.g., user interface 604) displayed on display 546-1 ofsystem 540. InFIG. 6D , the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 a (e.g., ABC Cleaners) is displayed as the selected destination inuser interface 604 of display 546-1 and route 616 fromcurrent location 608 ofdevice 100 to the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 a is also displayed inuser interface 604 of display 546-1. In some embodiments, display 546-1 is a touch screen display. In some embodiments, display 546-1 is a primary display of a plurality of displays associated withsystem 540. In some embodiments, display 546-1 is implemented in the dashboard of the vehicle and is visually accessible to the driver and/or passenger of the vehicle. - While the first destination is (808) the selected destination in the vehicle navigation interface, the portable electronic device detects (810) a first input (e.g., a tap or swipe gesture on a touch-sensitive surface of the first electronic device) from a user that corresponds to a request to display information about one or more candidate destinations in the plurality of candidate destinations other than the first destination (e.g., without selecting the second object as the selected object).
FIG. 6L , for example, showsdevice 100 detectinguser touch input 643 over the user interface object (e.g., pin) corresponding to the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 b (e.g., Mary Ann's Cleaners) on the map displayed inuser interface 602. InFIG. 6L , the map displayed in user interface includes the dry cleaners represented bypins FIG. 6L , for example, the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 a (e.g., ABC Cleaners) is displayed as the selected destination inuser interface 604 of display 546-1. - While the first destination is (808) the selected destination in the vehicle navigation interface, in response to detecting the first input, the portable electronic device updates (812) the portable-device navigation interface on the portable-device display in accordance with the first input without the vehicle navigation interface on the vehicle display being updated.
FIG. 6M , for example, showsdevice 100 updatinguser interface 602 to displayinformation box 644 corresponding to the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 b in response to detectinguser touch input 643 over the user interface object (e.g., pin) corresponding to the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 b inFIG. 6L . InFIG. 6M ,user interface 602 is updated without providing information to display 546-1 (or system 540) that enablesuser interface 604 on display 546-1 to be updated. InFIG. 6M , for example, the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 a is displayed as the selected destination inuser interface 604 of display 546-1. - While the first destination is (808) the selected destination in the vehicle navigation interface, after updating the portable-device navigation interface in accordance with the first input, the portable electronic device detects (814) a second input from a user that corresponds to a request to select a second destination in the plurality of candidate destinations as the selected destination.
FIG. 6Q , for example, showsdevice 100 detectinguser touch input 661 corresponding to a request to display turn-by-turn directions forroute 659 a fromcurrent location 608 ofdevice 100 to the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 b (e.g., Mary Ann's Cleaners). - In response to detecting (816) the second input, the portable electronic device updates (818) the portable-device navigation interface on the portable-device display in accordance with the second input to display the second destination as the selected destination.
FIG. 6R , for example, shows,device 100 updatinguser interface 602 to display turn-by-turn directions box 662 with directions to the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 b (e.g., Mary Ann's Cleaners) in response to detectinguser touch input 661 inFIG. 6Q . - In response to detecting (816) the second input, the portable electronic device sends (820) information to the vehicle display that enables the vehicle display to update the vehicle navigation interface in accordance with the second input to display the second destination as the selected destination. In response to detecting
user touch input 661 inFIG. 6Q ,device 100 sendssystem 540 information to enablesystem 540 to updateuser interface 604 on display 546-1.FIG. 6R , for example, shows updateduser interface 604 where turn-by-turn directions mode is displayed inuser interface 604 of display 546-1including marker 664 indicating the current location ofdevice 100, route 659 a fromcurrent location 608 ofdevice 100 to the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 b (e.g., Mary Ann's Cleaners), and turn-by-turn directions box 663 indicating the user's first direction (or turn) onroute 659 a. - It should be understood that the particular order in which the operations in
FIGS. 8A-8B have been described is merely exemplary and is not intended to indicate that the described order is the only order in which the operations could be performed. One of ordinary skill in the art would recognize various ways to reorder the operations described herein. Additionally, it should be noted that details of other processes described herein with respect to other methods described herein (e.g.,methods 700 and 900) are also applicable in an analogous manner tomethod 800 described above with respect toFIGS. 8A-8B . For example, the contacts, gestures, user interface objects described above with reference tomethod 800 optionally have one or more of the characteristics of the contacts, gestures, user interface objects described herein with reference to other methods described herein (e.g.,methods 700 and 900). For brevity, these details are not repeated here. -
FIGS. 9A-9C are flow diagrams illustrating amethod 900 of sending update information to an affected display in accordance with some embodiments.Method 900 is performed at an electronic device (e.g.,device 300,FIG. 3 , or portablemultifunction device 100,FIG. 1A ) that is in communication with a plurality of displays that include a first display and a second display. In some embodiments, the electronic device, optionally, includes a display and a touch-sensitive surface. In some embodiments, the display is a touch screen display and the touch-sensitive surface is on the electronic device. In some embodiments, the electronic device is separate from the touch-sensitive surface. Some operations inmethod 900 are, optionally, combined and/or the order of some operations is, optionally, changed. - As described below, the
method 900 provides an efficient way to send update information to an affected display. - An electronic device that is in communication with a plurality of displays that include a first display and a second display receives (902) first input information that is indicative of a first input detected by a first input source of a plurality of input sources, where the first input information includes: a first (unique) identifier for the first input source; and a first input description that describes the first input. For example, the first input source description is raw input data such as contact locations and movement amounts/directions detected on a touch-sensitive surface and/or gesture data describing a type of gesture that was performed on the touch-sensitive surface. In some embodiments, the device is in communication with a plurality of different input sources (e.g., one or more buttons, knobs, jog dials, and/or touch-sensitive surfaces) where a respective input source is mapped to work in conjunction with a particular display. In some embodiments, as described in greater detail below with reference to
FIG. 6DD-6EE , the mapping is, optionally, updated so that the mapping of a respective input source is changed from being mapped to the first display to being mapped to the second display. -
FIGS. 6W-6FF , for example,show device 100 in communication with display 546-1 and 546-2. For example, display 546-1 (e.g., a primary display) and 546-2 (e.g., an auxiliary display) are associated withsystem 540 which is implemented in a vehicle. For example,jog dial 675 is associated withsystem 540 and, when activated, causes the device to control one or both of display 546-1 and display 546-2.FIG. 6X , for example, shows jog dial 675 detecting turn 681 (e.g., an approximately 90 degree clockwise turn). In response to detectingturn 681, jog dial 675 (or system 540) sends input information indicative ofturn 681 todevice 100. The input information includes an identifier associated with jog dial 675 (e.g., a unique identifier associated with jog dial 675) and input descriptioninformation describing turn 681. For example, the input description information includes rawdata describing turn 681 such as the magnitude (90 degrees) and direction (clockwise) of the turn. - The device selects (904) a first affected display from the plurality of displays based on the first identifier and an input-source mapping that maps input sources to corresponding displays. For example, in response to receiving input information corresponding to turn 681 in
FIG. 6X fromjog dial 675,device 100 selects (or determines) an affected display by correlating the identifier (e.g., identifying the input source as jog dial 675) included in the input information with a display (e.g., display 546-1) based on an input-source mapping that maps input sources to displays. - In some embodiments, selecting the first affected display includes (906): in accordance with a determination that the first input source is assigned to the first display in the input-source mapping, selecting the first display as the first affected display that is affected by the first input; and in accordance with a determination that the first input source is assigned to the second display, different from the first display, in the input-source mapping, selecting the second display as the first affected display that is affected by the first input. For example, in response to receiving input information corresponding to the pinch gesture in
FIG. 6W from the touch-sensitive surface associated with display 546-1,device 100 selects (or determines) an affected display by correlating the identifier (e.g., identifying the input source as the touch-sensitive surface associated with display 546-1) included in the input information with a display (e.g., display 546-1) based on the input-source mapping that maps input sources to displays. In another example, in response to receiving input information corresponding to the upward swipe gesture inFIG. 6EE from the touch-sensitive surface associated with display 546-2,device 100 selects (or determines) an affected display by correlating the identifier (e.g., identifying the input source as the touch-sensitive surface associated with display 546-2) included in the input information with a display (e.g., display 546-2) based on the input-source mapping that maps input sources to displays. - In some embodiments, after selecting the first affected display, the device (908): determines a respective state of a user interface displayed on the first affected display (e.g., a user interface displayed on the first affected display immediately prior to when the first input information was received); and generates the update information based on the first input description and the respective state of the user interface displayed on the first affected display. For example, in response to receiving input information corresponding to turn 681 in
FIG. 6X fromjog dial 675,device 100 selects (or determines) an affected display by correlating the identifier (e.g., identifying the input source as jog dial 675) included in the input information with a display (e.g., display 546-1) based on an input-source mapping that maps input sources to displays. In this example, after determining that the turn event detected inFIG. 6X is associated with display 546-1,device 100 also determines the display state of display 546-1 shown inFIG. 6X (e.g.,user interface 604 is in a search results or destination selection mode). In this example,device 100 generates the update information (e.g., the updated user interface displayed on display 546-1 inFIG. 6Y ) based on the input description information shown inFIG. 6X (e.g., an approximately 90 degree clockwise turn) and the display state of display 546-1 (e.g.,user interface 604 is in a search results or destination selection mode). - In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the respective state of the user interface displayed on the first affected display is a first state, the update information corresponds to (910) performing a first operation for the respective state of the user interface displayed on the first affected display (e.g., the respective state is displaying a “now playing” interface for playing audio and the respective operation includes adjusting a volume level of audio playback associated with the user interface displayed on the first affected display in accordance with an amount of rotation of a knob); and in accordance with a determination that the respective state of the user interface displayed on the first affected display is a second state different from the first state, the update information corresponds to performing a second operation, different from the first operation, for the respective state of the user interface displayed on the first affected display (e.g., the respective state is displaying a list of selectable items such as audio content items and the respective operation includes navigating through the list of selectable items on the first affected display in accordance with an amount of rotation of a knob).
FIGS. 6Y-6Z , for example, shows display 546-1 scrolling south-to-north through selected search results (e.g., dry cleaners) inuser interface 604 in response to detectingturn 683 ofjog dial 675 inFIG. 6Y (e.g., an approximately 180 degree counter-clockwise turn) and in accordance with the display state ofuser interface 604 inFIG. 6Y (e.g., a search results or destination selection mode).FIGS. 6AA-6BB , for example, show display 546-1 zooming out a turn-by-turn directions mode inuser interface 604 in response to detectingturn 686 ofjog dial 675 inFIG. 6AA (e.g., an approximately 90 degree counter-clockwise turn) and in accordance with the display state ofuser interface 604 inFIG. 6AA (e.g., a turn-by-turn directions mode). - In some embodiments, prior to receiving the first input information, the respective user interface has a prior state; and the device updates (912) the user interface to an updated state that is different from the prior state based on the first input and the prior state of the respective user interface (e.g., in response to a swipe gesture on a touch-sensitive surface or a rotation of a knob, a map user interface is scrolled in accordance with a magnitude and direction of the swipe gesture or the magnitude of the rotation of the knob).
FIGS. 6EE-6FF , for example, show display 546-2 scrolling up a list ofsongs 677 inuser interface 676 in response to detecting an upward swipe gesture withuser touch input 689 on display 546-2 inFIG. 6EE and in accordance with the display state ofuser interface 676 inFIG. 6EE (e.g., an album song list mode). - In some embodiments, prior to sending the update information to the first affected display, the device generates (914) the update information based on the first input information, where: in accordance with a determination that the first input description describes first input properties, the device generates first update information; and in accordance with a determination that the first input description describes second input properties different from the first input properties, the device generates second update information different from the first update information. For example, when the first input information corresponds to rotation of a knob while a list is displayed on the first affected display, if the first input description indicates that the first input includes clockwise rotation of a knob, the device scrolls a list downward on the affected display; in contrast, if the first input description indicates that the first input includes counter-clockwise rotation of the knob, the device scrolls the list upward on the affected display.
- In another example, when the search results or a destination selection mode is displayed, a 90 degree turn of
jog dial 675 selects a next search result, a clockwise turn scrolls the search results north-to-south, and a counter-clockwise turn scrolls the search results south-to-north.FIGS. 6X-6Y , for example, show display 546-1 scrolling north-to-south through selected search results (e.g., dry cleaners) inuser interface 604 in response to detectingturn 681 ofjog dial 675 inFIG. 6X (e.g., an approximately 90 degree clockwise turn). In contrast,FIGS. 6Y-6Z , for example, shows display 546-1 scrolling south-to-north through selected search results (e.g., dry cleaners) inuser interface 604 in response to detectingturn 683 ofjog dial 675 inFIG. 6Y (e.g., an approximately 180 degree counter-clockwise turn). - The device sends (916), to the first affected display, update information that enables the first affected display to be updated in accordance with the first input. For example, in response to receiving input information corresponding to turn 681 in
FIG. 6X fromjog dial 675,device 100 selects display 546-1 as the affected display by correlating the identifier (e.g., identifying the input source as jog dial 675) included in the input information with display 546-1 based on the input-source mapping. After selecting display as the affected display,device 100 sends affected display 546-1 update information that enables affected display 546-1 to be updated. - In some embodiments, the update information includes (918) information corresponding to the first input (e.g., raw input data such as contact locations and movement amounts/directions detected on a touch-sensitive surface and/or gesture data describing a type of gesture that was performed on the touch-sensitive surface). In some embodiments, the update information includes the first input description. In some embodiments, the update information is generated based on the first input description (e.g., the first input description is raw touch input data and the update information includes a gesture that corresponds to the raw touch input data).
- In some embodiments, the update information includes (920) an updated user interface for display at the first affected display (e.g., an image for display on the first display that includes a plurality of user interface objects). After selecting display 546-1 as the affected display corresponding to turn 681 in
FIG. 6X , device I 00 sends affected display 546-1 update information that enables affected display 546-1 to be updated in accordance with the magnitude (90 degrees) and direction (clockwise) ofturn 681 ofjog dial 675 inFIG. 6X . For example, the update information includes an updated user interface that scrolls the search results (e.g., dry cleaners) so that the next dry cleaner south (e.g., Suzie's Cleaners corresponding to the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 d) from ABC Cleaners corresponding to the dry cleaner represented bypin 614 a is displayed as the selected search result inuser interface 604 inFIG. 6Y . - In some embodiments, the device generates (922) user interfaces for two or more displays of the plurality of displays and provides respective user interfaces to corresponding displays. For example,
device 100 sends images that are representative of a first map/navigation user interface for display on a first display (e.g., primary display 546-1 or a dashboard navigation display) of a vehicle information display system (e.g., system 540), such as a vehicle entertainment or navigation system, and generates a second, different, map/navigation user interface for a second, different, display that is structurally integrated with the device (e.g., touch-screen 112 ofdevice 100 or another portable electronic device). In some embodiments, the device sends images that are representative of a different user interface for display on a third display in the vehicle (e.g., auxiliary display 546-2 or a rear-seat entertainment display) of a vehicle information display system (e.g., system 540). - In some embodiments, after sending the update information that enables the first affected display to be updated in accordance with the first input (924), the device receives (926) second input information that is indicative of a second input detected by a second input source of the plurality of input sources distinct from the first input source, where the second input information includes: a second (unique) identifier for the second input source; and a second input description that describes the second input. For example, the second input description is raw input data such as contact locations and movement amounts/directions detected on a touch-sensitive surface and/or gesture data describing a type of gesture that was performed on the touch-sensitive surface. After selecting display 546-1 as the first affected display corresponding to turn 681 in
FIG. 6X ,device 100 sends first affected display 546-1 update information that enables first affected display 546-1 to be updated as shown inFIG. 6Y . Subsequently,FIG. 6EE , for example, shows the touch-sensitive surface associated with display 546-2 detecting an upward swipe gesture withuser touch input 689. In response to detecting the upward swipe gesture, the touch-sensitive surface associated with display 546-2 (or system 540) sends input information indicative of user touch input 689 (or the upward swipe gesture) todevice 100. The input information includes an identifier associated with the touch-sensitive surface associated with display 546-2 (e.g., a unique identifier associated with the touch-sensitive surface associated with display 546-2) and input description information describing user touch input 689 (or the upward swipe gesture). - In some embodiments, after sending the update information that enables the first affected display to be updated in accordance with the first input (924), the device selects (928) a second affected display from the plurality of displays based on the second identifier and the input-source mapping. In response to receiving input information corresponding to the upward swipe gesture in
FIG. 6EE from the touch-sensitive surface associated with display 546-2,device 100 selects display 546-2 as the second affected display by correlating the identifier (e.g., identifying the input source as the touch-sensitive surface associated with display 546-2) included in the input information with a display (e.g., display 546-2) based on the input-source mapping that maps input sources to displays. - In some embodiments, after sending the update information that enables the first affected display to be updated in accordance with the first input (924), the device sends (930), to the second affected display, update information that enables the second affected display to be updated in accordance with the second input. In some embodiments (e.g., where the first input source and the second input source are both mapped to a same display), the first affected display is the same as the second affected display. In some embodiments (e.g., where the first input source and the second input source are mapped to different displays), the first affected display is different from the second affected display. After selecting display 546-2 as the second affected display,
device 100 sends second affected display 546-2 update information that enables affected display 546-2 to be updated. For example, inFIG. 6FF , the update information includes an updated user interface that enabled display 546-2 to displaylist 677 scrolled upward inuser interface 676. - In some embodiments, the device detects (932) a change in availability of a respective display of the plurality of displays, and in response to detecting the change in availability of the respective display, the device updates the input-source mapping to show the change in availability of the respective display. In some embodiments, the change in availability of the respective display includes a computer system (e.g., a vehicle information display system such as a navigation or entertainment system) that is different from the electronic device taking control of the respective display. In some embodiments, the change in availability of the respective display includes a computer system that is different from the electronic device giving control of the respective display to (or back to) the electronic device (e.g., while the vehicle is backing up, a vehicle information display system displays a video feed from a back-up camera on a display of the vehicle information display system and after the vehicle has ceased to back up, the vehicle information display system enables the electronic device to again display a user interface provided by the electronic device on the display of the vehicle information display system).
-
FIGS. 6W-6FF , for example, show display 546-1 and display 546-2 associated withsystem 540 that is implemented in a vehicle. While the vehicle is in reverse,FIG. 6CC , for example, shows display 546-1 displaying a vehicle backup mode including a video feed from backup camera inuser interface 604 and display 546-2 displaying a vehicle backup mode including a video feed from the backup camera inuser interface 676. While the vehicle is in reverse, vehicle backup mode supersedes all update information received by displays 546-1 and 546-2 fromdevice 100. - In some embodiments, while a respective input source is assigned to the first display, the device detects (934) a change in display assignment for a respective input source of the plurality of input sources from the first display to the second display, and in response to detecting the change in display assignment for the respective input source, the device updates the input-source mapping to show the change in display assignment for the respective input source, so that input information that is indicative of inputs associated with the respective input source is used to update a user interface displayed on the second display instead of being used to update a user interface displayed on the first display. For example, a passenger in a vehicle switches from using a first knob to control a user interface in a primary display of a vehicle information display system to using the first knob to control a user interface in an auxiliary display of the vehicle information display system (e.g., a rear-seat entertainment display) and input information that includes an identifier for the first knob is used to update a user interface displayed on the auxiliary display instead of being used to update a user interface displayed on the primary display.
- In
FIGS. 6W-6CC ,jog dial 675, when activated, causes the device to control display 546-1. Thus, inFIGS. 6W-6CC ,jog dial 675 is associated with display 546-1 in the input-source to display mapping. For example,FIGS. 6AA-6BB show display 546-1 zooming out a turn-by-turn directions mode inuser interface 604 in response to detectingturn 686 of jog dial 675 (e.g., an approximately 90 degree counter-clockwise turn) inFIG. 6AA in accordance with a determination thatjog dial 675 is mapped to display 546-1. - In contrast, in
FIGS. 6DD-6EE ,jog dial 675, when activated, causes the device to control display 546-2. Thus, inFIGS. 6DD-6EE ,jog dial 675 is associated with display 546-2 in the changed input-source to display mapping. In another example,FIGS. 6DD-6EE show display 546-2 scrolling downlist 677 inuser interface 676 in response to detectingturn 688 of jog dial 675 (e.g., an approximately 90 degree clockwise turn) inFIG. 6DD in accordance with a determination thatjog dial 675 is mapped to display 546-2. - It should be understood that the particular order in which the operations in
FIGS. 9A-9C have been described is merely exemplary and is not intended to indicate that the described order is the only order in which the operations could be performed. One of ordinary skill in the art would recognize various ways to reorder the operations described herein. Additionally, it should be noted that details of other processes described herein with respect to other methods described herein (e.g.,methods 700 and 800) are also applicable in an analogous manner tomethod 900 described above with respect toFIGS. 9A-9C . For example, the contacts, gestures, user interface objects described above with reference tomethod 900 optionally have one or more of the characteristics of the contacts, gestures, user interface objects described herein with reference to other methods described herein (e.g.,methods 700 and 800). For brevity, these details are not repeated here. - In accordance with some embodiments,
