63266-5063W0 P4313W04 Touch Screen Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Determining Commands by Applying Heuristics TECHNICAL FIELD [100011 The disclosed embodiments relate generally to electronic devices with touch screen displays, and more particularly, to electronic devices that apply heuristics to detected user gestures on a touch screen display to determine commands.
BACKGROUND
[00021 As portable electronic devices become more compact, and the number of functions performed by a given device increase, it has become a significant challenge to design a user interface that allows users to easily interact with a multifunction device. This challenge is particular significant for handheld portable devices, which have much smaller screens than desktop or laptop computers. This situation is unfortunate because the user interface is the gateway through which users receive not only content but also responses to user actions or behaviors, including user attempts to access a device's features, tools, and functions. Some portable communication devices mobile telephones, sometimes called mobile phones, cell phones, cellular telephones, and the like) have resorted to adding more pushbuttons, increasing the density of push buttons, overloading the functions of pushbuttons, or using complex menu systems to allow a user to access, store and manipulate data. These conventional user interfaces often result in complicated key sequences and menu hierarchies that must be memorized by the user.
[00031 Many conventional user interfaces, such as those that include physical pushbuttons, are also inflexible. This may prevent a user interface from being configured and/or adapted by either an application running on the portable device or by users. When coupled with the time consuming requirement to memorize multiple key sequences and menu hierarchies, and the difficulty in activating a desired pushbutton, such inflexibility is frustrating to most users.
[00041 To avoid problems associated with pushbuttons and complex menu systems, portable electronic devices may use touch screen displays that detect user gestures on the touch screen and translate detected gestures into commands to be performed. However, user 63266-5063WO P4313W04 gestures may be imprecise; a particular gesture may only roughly correspond to a desired command. Other devices with touch screen displays, such as desktop computers with touch screen displays, also may have difficulties translating imprecise gestures into desired commands.
[00051 Accordingly, there is a need for touch-screen-display electronic devices with more transparent and intuitive user interfaces for translating imprecise user gestures into precise, intended commands that are easy to use, configure, and/or adapt. Such interfaces increase the effectiveness, efficiency and user satisfaction with portable multifunction devices.
SUMMARY
[00061 The above deficiencies and other problems associated with user interfaces for portable devices and touch screen devices are reduced or eliminated by the disclosed multifunction device. In some embodiments, the device is portable. In some embodiments, the device has a touch-sensitive display (also known as a "touch screen") with 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 display. In some embodiments, the functions may include telephoning, video conferencing, e-mailing, instant messaging, blogging, digital photographing, digital videoing, web browsing, digital music playing, and/or digital video playing. Instructions for performing these functions may be included in a computer readable storage medium or other computer program product configured for execution by one or more processors.
[00071 In an aspect of the invention, a computer-implemented method for use in conjunction with a computing device with a touch screen display comprises: detecting one or more finger contacts with the touch screen display, applying one or more heuristics to the one or more finger contacts to determine a command for the device, and processing the command.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS [00841 Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known 63266-5063W P4313W04 methods, procedures, components, circuits, and networks have not been described in detail so as not to unnecessarily obscure aspects of the embodiments.
[00851 It will also be understood that, although the terms first, second, etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms.
These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another. For example, a first gesture could be termed a second gesture, and, similarly, a second gesture could be termed a first gesture, without departing from the scope of the present invention.
[00861 The terminology used in the description of the invention herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used in the description of the invention and the appended claims, the singular forms "an" and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will also be understood that the term "and/or" as used herein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. It will be further understood that the terms "comprises" and/or "comprising," when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.
100871 As used herein, the term "if' may be construed to mean "when" or "upon" or "in response to determining" or "in response to detecting," depending on the context.
Similarly, the phrase "if it is determined" or "if [a stated condition or event] is detected" may be construed to mean "upon determining" or "in response to determining" or "upon detecting [the stated condition or event]" or "in response to detecting [the stated condition or event]," depending on the context.
[0088] Embodiments of a portable multifunction device, user interfaces for such devices, and associated processes for using such devices are described. In some embodiments, the device is a portable communications device such as a mobile telephone that also contains other functions, such as PDA and/or music player functions.
[00891 The user interface may include a physical click wheel in addition to a touch screen or a virtual click wheel displayed on the touch screen. A click wheel is a userinterface device that may provide navigation commands based on an angular displacement of 63266-5063W P4313 W04 the wheel or a point of contact with the wheel by a user of the device. A click wheel may also be used to provide a user command corresponding to selection of one or more items, for example, when the user of the device presses down on at least a portion of the wheel or the center of the wheel. Alternatively, breaking contact with a click wheel image on a touch screen surface may indicate a user command corresponding to selection. For simplicity, in the discussion that follows, a portable multifunction device that includes a touch screen is used as an exemplary embodiment. It should be understood, however, that some of the user interfaces and associated processes may be applied to other devices, such as personal computers and laptop computers, which may include one or more other physical userinterface devices, such as a physical click wheel, a physical keyboard, a mouse and/or a joystick.
[00901 The device supports a variety of applications, such as one or more of the following: a telephone application, a video conferencing application, an e-mail application, an instant messaging application, a blogging application, a photo management application, a digital camera application, a digital video camera application, a web browsing application, a digital music player application, and/or a digital video player application.
[00911 The various applications that may be executed on the device may use at least one common physical user-interface device, such as the touch screen. One or more functions of the touch screen as well as corresponding information displayed on the device may be adjusted and/or varied from one application to the next and/or within a respective application.
In this way, a common physical architecture (such as the touch screen) of the device may support the variety of applications with user interfaces that are intuitive and transparent.
[00921 The user interfaces may include one or more soft keyboard embodiments. The soft keyboard embodiments may include standard (QWERTY) and/or non-standard configurations of symbols on the displayed icons of the keyboard, such as those described in U.S. Patent Applications 11/459,606, "Keyboards For Portable Electronic Devices," filed July 24, 2006, and 11/459,615, "Touch Screen Keyboards For Portable Electronic Devices," filed July 24, 2006, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. The keyboard embodiments may include a reduced number of icons (or soft keys) relative to the number of keys in existing physical keyboards, such as that for a typewriter. This may make it easier for users to select one or more icons in the keyboard, and thus, one or more corresponding symbols. The keyboard embodiments may be adaptive. For example, displayed icons may 63266-5063WO P4313W04 be modified in accordance with user actions, such as selecting one or more icons and/or one or more corresponding symbols. One or more applications on the portable device may utilize common and/or different keyboard embodiments. Thus, the keyboard embodiment used may be tailored to at least some of the applications. In some embodiments, one or more keyboard embodiments may be tailored to a respective user. For example, one or more keyboard embodiments may be tailored to a respective user based on a word usage history (lexicography, slang, individual usage) of the respective user. Some of the keyboard embodiments may be adjusted to reduce a probability of a user error when selecting one or more icons, and thus one or more symbols, when using the soft keyboard embodiments.
[00931 Attention is now directed towards embodiments of the device. Figures 1IA and IB are block diagrams illustrating portable multifunction devices 100 with touch-sensitive displays 112 in accordance with some embodiments.

The device moves the unlock image 302 in accordance with the contact. The device transitions to a user-interface unlock state if the detected contact corresponds to a predefined gesture, such as moving the unlock image across channel 306.
Conversely, the device maintains the user-interface lock state if the detected contact does not correspond to the predefined gesture. This process saves battery power by ensuring that the device is not accidentally awakened. This process is easy for users to perform, in part because of the visual cue(s) provided on the touch screen.
[001501 In some embodiments, after detecting an unlock gesture, the device displays a passcode (or password) interface UI 300C, Figure 3C) for entering a passcode to complete the unlock process. The addition of a passcode protects against unauthorized use of the device. In some embodiments, the passcode interface includes an emergency call icon that permits an emergency call to 911) without entering the passcode.

In this particular example, the song currently being played is still "Come Together" from the album "Abbey Road". Therefore, user interface 4300BB is virtually the same as user interface 4300S except that the played timestamp and remaining timestamp have been altered.
1005801 As illustrated in Figure 43U and Figure 43V, a user rating may be applied to an item of content with a finger gesture.
[005811 In some embodiments, a portable multifunction device displays a series of ratings indicia 4382, Figure 43U and 43V) on a touch screen display. The ratings indicia comprise a lowest rating indicia and one or more progressively higher rating indicia.
In some embodiments, the ratings indicia comprise stars 4382-2, Figure 43V). In some embodiments, the series of ratings indicia consists of five stars.
[005821 A finger gesture 4384, Figure 43V) by a user is detected on one or more of the ratings indicia, wherein the finger gesture contacts a last rating indicia immediately prior to breaking contact with the touch screen display the third rating indicia in Figure 123 63266-5063WO P4313W04 43V). In some embodiments, the finger gesture contacts the lowest rating indicia prior to contacting one or more of the progressively higher rating indicia. In some embodiments, the finger gesture is a swipe gesture.
[005831 A rating corresponding to the last rating indicia contacted by the finger gesture is used as input to a function or application in the device. For example, the three-star rating for the song "Come Together" in Figure 43V may be used to sort this content versus other content in the device and/or to determine how often this content is heard when content is played in a random order shuffle mode 4368, Figure 43R).
[005841 In some embodiments, the rating corresponding to the last rating indicia contacted by the finger gesture is used to give a rating for an item of content that is playable with a content player application on the device. In some embodiments, the item of content is an item of music and the content player application is a music player application. In some embodiments, the item of content is a video and the content player application is a video player application.
[005851 In some embodiments, the rating corresponding to the last rating indicia contacted by the finger gesture is used to give a rating for content on a web page that is viewable with a browser application on the device.
[005861 A graphical user interface on a portable multifunction device with a touch screen display comprises a series of ratings indicia 4382 on the touch screen display. The ratings indicia comprise a lowest rating indicia and one or more progressively higher rating indicia. In response to detecting a finger gesture by a user on one or more of the ratings indicia, wherein the finger gesture contacts a last rating indicia immediately prior to breaking contact with the touch screen display, a rating corresponding to the last rating indicia contacted by the finger gesture is used as input to a function or an application in the device.
[005871 As illustrated in Figures 43BB-43DD, an application may change modes in response to a change in orientation of the device, with the two modes differing by more than a mere change in display orientation.
[005881 In some embodiments, a portable multifunction device with a rectangular touch screen display, which includes a portrait view and a landscape view, detects the device in a first orientation.
63266-5063WO P4313W04 [005891 While the device is in the first orientation, an application is displayed in a first mode on the touch screen display in a first view a hierarchical list mode for selecting music as illustrated in Figure 43A, Figure 43J, Figure 43Q, Figure 43R, and Figure 43BB).
[005901 The device is detected in a second orientation. In some embodiments, the first orientation and the second orientation are detected based on an analysis of data from one or more accelerometers 168). In some embodiments, the first orientation is rotated substantially 90' from the second orientation by rotation 4392, Figure 43BB to Figure 43CC).
[005911 In response to detecting the device in the second orientation, the application is displayed in a second mode on the touch screen display in a second view Figure 43CC).
[005921 The first mode of the application differs from the second mode of the application by more than a change in display orientation. The application displays distinct or additional information in one of the first and second modes relative to the other of the first and second modes.
1005931 In some embodiments, the first view is the portrait view Figure 43A, Figure 43J, Figure 43Q, Figure 43R, or Figure 43BB) and the second view is the landscape view Figure 43CC). In some embodiments, substantially vertical finger gestures on or near the touch screen display are used to navigate in the first mode and substantially horizontal finger gestures swipe gesture 4399, Figure 43CC) on or near the touch screen display are used to navigate in the second mode.
[005941 In some embodiments, the first view is the landscape view and the second view is the portrait view.
[005951 In some embodiments, the rectangular touch screen display has a long axis and a short axis; the first orientation comprises a substantially vertical orientation of the long axis; the second orientation comprises a substantially vertical orientation of the short axis; the first view is the portrait view UI 4300BB, Figure 43BB); and the second view is the landscape view UI 43CC, Figure 43CC).
[005961 In some embodiments, the application is a music player, the first mode is a hierarchical list mode for selecting music Figure 43A to more list, Figure 43J, to albums list, Figure 43Q, to album content list Figure 43R, to content, Figure 43S/43BB), the first view is the portrait view, the second mode is a cover flow mode for selecting albums 125 63266-5063WO P4313W04 Figure 43CC), and the second view is the landscape view. The cover flow mode and other image modes are described in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/843,832, "Techniques And Systems For Browsing Media Content," filed September 11, 2006; U.S.
Patent Application No. 11/519,460, "Media Manager With Integrated Browsers," filed September 11, 2006; and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. to be determined [attorney docket number APLIP533P2/P4583USP2], "Electronic Device With Image Based Browsing," filed January 5, 2007, which are hereby incorporated by reference. In some embodiments, in response to detecting a finger gesture on an album cover gesture 4388, Figure 43CC) or on an information icon 4389, Figure 43CC), the album cover is flipped over and information about tracks on the album is displayed (Figure 43DD).
[005971 In some embodiments, the application is an address book, the first mode is a list mode for displaying entries in the address book, the first view is the portrait view, the second mode is an image mode for displaying images associated with corresponding entries in the address book, and the second view is the landscape view.
[005981 In some embodiments, the application is a world clock, the first mode is a list mode for displaying a list of time zones, the first view is the portrait view, the second mode is a map mode for displaying one or more time zones in the list of time zones on a map, and the second view is the landscape view.
[005991 In some embodiments, the application is a calendar. In some embodiments, the application is a photo management application. In some embodiments, the application is a data entry application.
[006001 A graphical user interface on a portable multifunction device with a rectangular touch screen display with a portrait view and a landscape view comprises a first mode of an application that is displayed in the portrait view and a second mode of the application that is displayed in the landscape view. In response to detecting the device in a first orientation, the first mode of the application is displayed in the portrait view. In response to detecting the device in a second orientation, the second mode of the application is displayed in the landscape view. The first mode of the application differs from the second mode of the application by more than a change in display orientation.
[006011 Such mode changes based on device orientation make the device easier to use because the user does not have to navigate through one or more display screens to get to a 63266-5063WO P4313 W04 desired second mode or remember how to perform such navigation. Rather, the user merely needs to change the orientation of the device.
[006021 Additional description of mode changes based on device orientation can be found in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/947,300, "Modal Change Based on Orientation of a Portable Multifunction Device," filed June 29, 2007, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
[006031 Figures 44A-44J illustrate portrait-landscape rotation heuristics in accordance with some embodiments.
[006041 In some embodiments, information in some applications is automatically displayed in portrait view or landscape view in device 100 based on an analysis of data from the one or more accelerometers 168. A user gesture 4402, Figure 44B), however, can override the view that is automatically chosen based on the accelerometer data. In some embodiments, the override ends when a second gesture 4404, Figure 44H) is detected (as described in Example 1 and Example 2 below, as illustrated by Figures 44A-44E and 44G-44J). In some embodiments, the override ends when the device is placed in an orientation where the displayed view matches the view recommended automatically based on the accelerometer data (as described in Example 3 and Example 4 below, as illustrated by Figures 44A-44F). In some embodiments, the override ends after a predetermined time. In some embodiments, the override ends when the user changes applications or goes back to the menu screen (Figure 4A or 4B). These override termination heuristics make the device easier to use because either a simple gesture is used to end the override or the override ends automatically based on predefined criteria.
Example 1: [006051 In some embodiments, a portable multifunction device with a rectangular touch screen display and one or more accelerometers displays information on the rectangular touch screen display in a portrait view Figure 44A) or a landscape view Figure 44B) based on an analysis of data received from the one or more accelerometers.
[006061 A first predetermined finger gesture gesture 4402, Figure 44B) is detected on or near the touch screen display while the information is displayed in a first view.
[00607] In response to detecting the first predetermined finger gesture, the information is displayed in a second view Figure 44C) and the display of information is locked in 127 63266-5063WO P4313 W04 the second view, independent of the orientation of the device the display is locked in portrait view in Figures 44C, 44D, 44E, and 44G). In some embodiments, the first view is the landscape view Figure 44B) and the second view is the portrait view Figure 44A).
In some embodiments, the first view is the portrait view and the second view is the landscape view.
[006081 A second predetermined finger gesture is detected on or near the touch screen display while the display of information is locked in the second view gesture 4404, Figure 44H).
[006091 In response to detecting the second predetermined finger gesture, the display of information in the second view is unlocked. For example, the display is unlocked in Figures 441 and 44J, so a portrait view is displayed when the long axis of the device is substantially vertical (Figure 44J) and a landscape view is displayed when the short axis of the device is substantially vertical (Figure 441).
1[006101 In some embodiments, the first and second predetermined finger gestures are multifinger gestures. In some embodiments, the first and second predetermined finger gestures are multifinger twisting gestures gesture 4402, Figure 44B and gesture 4404, Figure 44H). In some embodiments, the first and second predetermined finger gestures occur on the touch screen display.
Example 2: [00611] In some embodiments, a portable multifunction device with a rectangular touch screen display, wherein the rectangular touch screen display includes a portrait view and a landscape view, detects the device in a first orientation Figure 44A).
[006121 Information is displayed on the touch screen display in a first view while the device is in the first orientation.
[00613] The device is detected in a second orientation Figure 44B).
[00614] In response to detecting the device in the second orientation, the information is displayed in a second view.
[006151 A first predetermined finger gesture gesture 4402, Figure 44B) is detected on or near the touch screen display while the information is displayed in the second view.
63266-5063W P4313W04 [006161 In response to detecting the first predetermined finger gesture, the information is displayed in the first view Figure 44C) and the display of information is locked in the first view the display is locked in portrait view in Figures 44C, 44D, 44E, and 44G).
[006171 A second predetermined finger gesture is detected on or near the touch screen display while the display of information is locked in the first view gesture 4404, Figure 44H).
[006181 In response to detecting the second predetermined finger gesture, the display of information in the first view is unlocked. For example, the display is unlocked in Figures 441 and 44J, so a portrait view is displayed when the long axis of the device is substantially vertical (Figure 44J) and a landscape view is displayed when the short axis of the device is substantially vertical (Figure 441).
[006191 In some embodiments, the first view is the landscape view and the second view is the portrait view. In some embodiments, the first view is the portrait view Figure 44A) and the second view is the landscape view Figure 4413).
[006201 In some embodiments, the first and second predetermined finger gestures are multifinger gestures. In some embodiments, the first and second predetermined finger gestures are multifinger twisting gestures gesture 4402, Figure 44B and gesture 4404, Figure 44H). In some embodiments, the first and second predetermined finger gestures occur on the touch screen display.
Example 3: [006211 In some embodiments, a portable multifunction device with a rectangular touch screen display and one or more accelerometers displays information on the rectangular touch screen display in a portrait view Figure 44A) or a landscape view Figure 44B) based on an analysis of data received from the one or more accelerometers.
[006221 A predetermined finger gesture gesture 4402, Figure 44B) is detected on or near the touch screen display while the information is displayed in a first view. In some embodiments, the predetermined finger gesture is a multifinger twisting gesture. In some embodiments, the predetermined finger gesture occurs on the touch screen display.
[006231 In response to detecting the predetermined finger gesture, the information is displayed in a second view Figure 44C) and the display of information is locked in the second view.
63266-5063WO P4313W04 [006241 The display of information in the second view is unlocked when the device is placed in an orientation where the second view is displayed based on an analysis of data received from the one or more accelerometers Figure 44E). For example, the display is unlocked in Figures 44E and 44F, so a portrait view is displayed when the long axis of the device is substantially vertical (Figure 44E) and a landscape view is displayed when the short axis of the device is substantially vertical (Figure 44F).
1006251 In some embodiments, the first view is the landscape view Figure 44B) and the second view is the portrait view Figure 44A). In some embodiments, the first view is the portrait view and the second view is the landscape view.
Example 4: 100626] In some embodiments, a portable multifunction device with a rectangular touch screen display, wherein the rectangular touch screen display includes a portrait view and a landscape view, detects the device in a first orientation.
1006271 Information is displayed on the touch screen display in a first view while the device is in the first orientation Figure 44A).
1006281 The device is detected in a second orientation.
1006291 In response to detecting the device in the second orientation, the information is displayed in a second view Figure 44B).
[006301 A predetermined finger gesture gesture 4402, Figure 44B) is detected on or near the touch screen display while the information is displayed in the second view. In some embodiments, the predetermined finger gesture is a multifinger gesture. In some embodiments, the predetermined finger gesture occurs on the touch screen display.

63266-5063W P4313W04 [006331 In some embodiments, the first view is the landscape view and the second view is the portrait view. In some embodiments, the first view is the portrait view Figure 44A) and the second view is the landscape view Figure 44B).
1006341 In some embodiments, the first orientation and the second orientation are detected based on an analysis of data from one or more accelerometers. In some embodiments, the first orientation is rotated 90' from the second orientation.
[006351 Additional description of portrait-landscape rotation heuristics can be found in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/947,132, "Portrait-Landscape Rotation Heuristics for a Portable Multifunction Device," filed June 29, 2007, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
1[006361 Given the limited area on a touch screen display, one challenge is how to present various amount of information in a highly intuitive manner. Figures 45A-45G are graphical user interfaces illustrating an adaptive approach for presenting information on the touch screen display in accordance with some embodiments. For illustrative purpose, the video folder in the music and video player module is shown. But it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that this approach is readily applicable to many other occasions with little or no modification for displaying notification information for missed communications as described with respect to Figures 53A-53D below).
[00637] For a given total number of user interface objects, the device may display information about at least two individual user interface objects if the total number meets a first predefined condition. In some embodiments, the device may display information about all the user interface objects on the touch screen display.
[006381 In some embodiments, the first predefined condition is that the total number of user interface objects is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold. In some other embodiments, the first predefined condition is that the total number of user interface objects is equal to or less than a maximum number of user interface objects that can be simultaneously displayed.
[006391 As shown in Figure 45A, the video folder has only four objects including two movies and two music videos. Since information about the four objects can fit into the touch screen display, a hierarchical approach of grouping the movies into one sub-folder and the 63266-5063W P4313W04 music videos into another sub-folder is probably less preferred. Rather, the four objects are shown in a flat view with two labels 4510 and 4515 indicating the two media types.
[006401 In some embodiments, the device may present the information in a flat view if the total number of user interface objects is slightly more than what can fit into the display.
A user can easily scroll the flat view up or down to see the hidden portion using a substantially vertical finger swipe gesture.
[006411 If the total number of user interface objects meets a second predefined condition, the device then divides the user interface objects into at least a first group of user interface objects and a second group of user interface objects. A first group icon is displayed for the first group of user interface objects. For the second group of user interface objects, at least one group member is shown on the touch screen display.
[006421 In some embodiments, the second predefined condition is that the total number of the first group of user interface objects is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold and the total number of the second group of user interface objects is greater than the predetermined threshold.
1006431 Figure 45B depicts that there are 30 music videos in the music video folder in total by four different artists or groups, 10 by the Beatles, 18 by U2, one by Bryan Adams, and one by Santana. Given the size of the touch screen display, a flat view of all the music videos is probably less convenient because this may require multiple finger swipe gestures to scan through all the objects. Moreover, it is less intuitive to tell the artist for each individual music video. On the other hand, it is also inconvenient if the music videos by Santana and Bryan Adams each have their own sub-folder because a user has to open the subfolder to see the music video's title while there is still blank space on the touch screen display.
[006441 Rather, Figure 45B is a hybrid view of information about the 30 music videos.
A group icon 4520 is used for representing the Beatles' works and a group icon 4525 for U2's works. The group icon indicates the number of music videos in that sub-folder. A user can simply finger tap a group icon, 4525, to learn more information about the 18 U2 music videos (Figure 45C). The other two music videos are displayed as two separate items, each including information about the artist and the music video's title.
63266-5063WO P4313W04 [006451 If the total number of user interface objects meets a third predefined condition, the device divides the user interface objects into at least a third group of user interface objects and a fourth group of user interface objects. A third group icon is displayed for the third group of user interface objects. A fourth group icon is displayed for the fourth group of user interface objects.
[00646] In some embodiments, the third predefined condition is that the total number of the third group of user interface objects is greater than a predetermined threshold and the total number of the fourth group of user interface objects is greater than the predetermined threshold. In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 45D, a group icon 4530 and 4535) is displayed on the touch screen display even if the corresponding group is empty.
[006471 In some other embodiments, as shown in Figure 45E, only a group icon 4540 and 4545) whose associated group is not empty is displayed on the touch screen display.
Each of the two groups has a sufficient number of objects that cannot fit into the touch screen display.
[006481 In some embodiments, the aforementioned information classification and presentation approach is an automatic and recursive process. Upon detecting a user selection of a respective group icon corresponding to the first, third or fourth groups of user interface objects, the device checks whether the user-selected group of user interface objects meet one of the first, second or third predefined conditions and then operates accordingly.
[006491 For example, in response to a user selection of the movies icon 4540, a hybrid view of the movie information is displayed in Figure 45F. Like the hybrid view shown in Figure 45B, three movies are shown as individual items with detailed information and the other 17 movies are broken into two sub-groups, each having its own group icon Cartoon (6) 4550 and Foreign (11) 4555.
[00650] In some embodiments, the user interface objects may be grouped by information type. For example, the objects in Figure 45A are broken into movie and music video. In some other embodiments, the user interface objects may be grouped by information source. For example, the objects in Figure 45D are broken into TV show and Podcast.
[006511 In some embodiments, a unique group identifier is assigned to each group of user interface objects in a flat view. For example, the group labels 4510 and 4515 are exemplary group identifiers. When the user scrolls upward the list of user interface objects, 63266-5063WO P4313W04 the group identifier at the top of the list movies 4510) does not move until the last item in the movie group, The Shawshank Redemption, moves out of the screen (analogous to the scrolling described above with respect to Figures 43E, 43F, 43H, and 431). At this time, the movies label 4510 is then replaced by the music videos label 4515.

1006551 Figures 47A-47E illustrate exemplary methods for moving a slider icon in accordance with some embodiments. Such slider icons have many uses, such as content progress bars Figures 47A and 47B, and 2310 Figure 23B), volume and other level controls 2324 Figure 23D), and switches Figures 47C-47E).
[006561 In some embodiments, a portable multifunction device device 100) with a touch screen display display 112) detects a finger contact finger contact 4706, Figure 47A, or 4734, Figure 47C) with a predefined area area 4702, Figure 47A, or 4730, Figure 47C) on the touch screen display. The predefined area includes an icon icon 4732, Figure 47C) that is configured to slide in a first direction in the predefined area on the touch screen display. In some embodiments, the predefined area comprises a slider bar slider bar 4704, Figure 47A). In some embodiments, the first direction is a horizontal direction on the touch screen display. In some embodiments, the first direction is a vertical direction on the touch screen display.
[006571 In some embodiments, the icon is moved to the finger contact upon detecting the finger contact with the predefined area. For example, slider bar 4704 moves to the finger contact 4706 upon detecting the finger contact 4706, as shown in Figure 47A.
[006581 Movement of the finger contact is detected on the touch screen display from the predefined area to a location outside the predefined area. The movement of the finger 134 63266-5063WO P4313W04 contact on the touch screen display has a component parallel to the first direction and a component perpendicular to the first direction.
[006591 For example, in Figure 47B, movements 4710, 4712, and 4714 of the finger contact from finger contact location 4706 to finger contact location 4708 all have a component Adx 4716 parallel to the direction of motion of the slider bar 4704. Similarly, movements 4710, 4712, and 4714 all have a component perpendicular to the direction of motion of the slider bar 4704 (not shown).
[006601 In another example, in Figure 47D, movements 4738, 4740, and 4742 of the finger contact from finger contact location 4734 to finger contact location 4736 all have a component Ad, 4744 parallel to the direction of motion of the slider icon 4732. Similarly, movements 4738, 4740, and 4742 all have a component perpendicular to the direction of motion of the slider icon 4732 (not shown). Additional movement of the finger contact from location 4736 to location 4738 has an additional component Ad,, 4746 (Figure 47E) parallel to the direction of motion of the slider icon 4732.
[006611 The icon is slid in the predefined area in accordance with the component of the movement of the finger contact that is parallel to the first direction. In some embodiments, sliding of the icon is ceased if a break in the finger contact with the touch screen display is detected.
[006621 For example, in Figure 47B, the slider bar 4704 moves by a distance Ad, equal to the parallel component Ad, 4716 of movements 4710, 4712, and 4714. In another example, in Figure 47D the slider icon 4732 moves by a distance Ad. equal to the parallel component Ad, 4744 of movements 4738, 4740, and 4742. In Figure 47E, the slider icon 4732 moves by an additional distance Ad., 4746 corresponding to additional movement of the finger contact from location 4736 to 4738.
[00663] These methods for moving a slider icon permit a user to precisely position the slider icon without having the user's view of the slider icon obstructed by the user's finger.

Cursor [007251 Figures 56A-56L illustrate exemplary methods for determining a cursor position in accordance with some embodiments.
[007261 In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 56A, the touch screen display displays multiple user interface objects 5602-5608. Exemplary user interface objects include an open icon, a close icon, a delete icon, an exit icon, or soft keyboard key icons. Some of 146 63266-5063WO P4313W04 these icons may be deployed within a small region on the touch screen display such that one icon is adjacent to another icon.
[007271 When there is a finger contact with the touch screen display, unlike the conventional mouse click, the finger has a certain contact area 5610 in Figure 56A) on the touch screen display. In some embodiments, a cursor position corresponding to the finger's contact area 5610 with the touch screen display needs to be determined. A user interface object at or near the cursor position may then be activated to perform a predefined operation.
[007281 As shown in Figures 59A-59D, a finger contact with the touch screen display a finger tap) is a process involving multiple actions including the finger approaching the display, the finger being in contact with the display, and the finger leaving the display.
During this process, the finger's contact area increases from zero to a maximum contact area and then reduces to zero. In some embodiments, for a stationary finger contact with the display, the detected contact area 5610 corresponds to the maximum contact area of the finger with the display during a time period corresponding to the stationary contact.
[007291 A first position associated with the contact area 5610 is determined. As will be explained below, the first position may or may not be the cursor position corresponding to the finger contact. But the first position will be used to determine the cursor position.
[00730] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 56B, the first position P 1 is the ccntroid of the contact area 5610.
[007311 In some other embodiments, when a finger is in physical contact with the touch screen display, the finger's pressure on the display is detected, which varies from one position to another position. Sometimes, the position at which a user applies the maximum pressure may not be the centroid P, of the contact area. But the maximum pressure position
P
2 is probably closer to the user's target. There is often a fixed distance between the centroid of the contact area and the corresponding maximum pressure's position. As shown in Figure 56H, the contact area 5610 is elliptical with a major axis, a minor axis perpendicular to the major axis, and a centroid P 1 Given that there is a substantially constant offset Ad' from the centroid P, to the maximum pressure position P 2 along the major axis, the first position or the maximum pressure position P 2 can be determined from P 1 and Ad'.
63266-5063WO P4313 WO4 [007321 A cursor position P associated with the finger contact is determined based on one or more parameters, including the location of the first position, PI in Figure 56B or
P
2 in Figure 56H, one or more distances between the first position and one or more of the user interface objects near the first position, and, in some embodiments, one or more activation susceptibility numbers associated with the user interface objects W 1
-W
4 in Figure 56C or Figure 561).
1007331 In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 56C and 561, the distance between the first position (PI in Figure 56C or P 2 in Figure 561) and a respective user interface object (5602, 5604, 5606, or 5608) is the distance between the first position and a point on the user interface object that is closest to the first position.
[007341 In some other embodiments, as shown in Figures 56D and 56J, the distance between the first position (P 1 in Figure 56D or P 2 in Figure 56L) and a user interface object (5602, 5604, 5606, or 5608) is the distance between the first position and the center of the user interface object.
[00735] In some embodiments, the offset between the cursor position and the first position Ad in Figures 56E and 56F) is given by the formula as follows: i I where: Ad is the offset between the cursor position P and the first position P 1 0 Adj is an offset component associated with a user interface object I along the direction between the first position and the user interface object i, Wi is an activation susceptibility number associated with the user interface object i, di is a distance between the first position and the user interface object i, n is a real number and 0 iu. is a unit vector along the direction of Ad.
63266-5063WO P4313W04 1007361 If the determined cursor position P is on a particular user interface object 5602 in Figure 56E), the user interface object is activated to perform a predefined operation such as playing a song, deleting an email message, or entering a character to an input field.
[007371 In some embodiments, the activation susceptibility numbers assigned to different user interface objects have different values and signs depending on the operation associated with each object.
[007381 For example, as shown in Figure 56E, if the operation associated with the user interface object 5602 is reversible or otherwise non-destructive the user interface object 5602 is the play icon 2304 of the music and video player module in Figure 23C), an activation susceptibility number W 1 having a first sign is assigned to the object 5602 such that the determined cursor position P is drawn closer to the object 5602 than the first position P 1 rendering the object 5602 easier to be activated. In this context, "nondestructive" is defined to mean an action that will not cause a permanent loss of information.
[007391 In contrast, as shown in Figure 56F, if the operation associated with the user interface object 5602 is irreversible or destructive of user information the user interface object 5602 is the delete icon 3542 of the email module in Figure 35E), an activation susceptibility number W1" having a second sign opposite to the first sign is assigned to the object 5602 such that the determined cursor position P may be further away from the object 5602 than the first position P1, rendering the object 5602 harder to activate.
Thus, when an object's associated activation susceptibility number has the second sign, the contact must be relatively precisely positioned over the object in order to activate it, with larger values of the activation susceptibility number corresponding to higher degrees of precision.
[007401 In some embodiments, the cursor position P is determined based on the first position, the activation susceptibility number associated with a user interface object that is closest to the first position, and the distance between the first position and the user interface object that is closest to the first position. In these embodiments, the cursor position P is not affected by the parameters associated with other neighboring user interface objects. For example, as shown in Figure 56K, the first position P is closest to the user interface object 5602 that has an associated activation susceptibility number W 1 The distance between the first position P, and the object 5602 is di. The cursor position P to be determined is only 63266-5063W0 P4313W04 affected by these parameters, not by other neighboring user interface objects 5604, 5606 or 5608.
[007411 In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 56L, the cursor position is the same as the first position, which may be P, in Figure 56B or P 2 in Figure 56H, if the first position is within a particular user interface object 5604) on the display. In this case, there is no need to further offset the cursor position from the first position.
[007421 In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 56E, a finger contact does not have to occur exactly at an object to activate the object. Rather, the user interface object is activated as long as the determined cursor position falls within the user interface object. In some embodiments, a user interface object is activated if the determined cursor position falls within a user interface object's hidden hit region. For more information about an object's hidden hit region, please refer to the description below in connection with Figures 58A-58D.
[007431 In some embodiments, at least some of the user interface objects involved in determining the cursor position in the formula above are visible on the touch screen display.
1007441 In some embodiments, the activation susceptibility numbers associated with the user interface objects W 1
-W
4 are context-dependent in a specific application module and change from one context to another context within the specific application module. For example, an object may have a first activation susceptibility number that is attractive to a cursor position at a first moment (in a first context of a specific application module), but a second activation susceptibility number that is less attractive or even repulsive if the second activation susceptibility number has an opposite sign) to the cursor position at a second moment (in a second context of the specific application module).
[007451 Figures 56M-560 illustrate an exemplary method for dynamically adjusting activation susceptibility numbers associated with soft keyboard keys as a word is typed with the soft keyboard keys in accordance with some embodiments. The user interface includes an input field 5620 and a soft keyboard 5640. A user selection of any key icon of the soft keyboard 5640 enters a corresponding user-selected character in the input field 5620. For illustrative purposes, as shown in Figure 56M, all the key icons initially have the same activation susceptibility number, [007461 Figure 56N depicts the activation susceptibility numbers associated with different key icons after two characters "Go" are entered into the input field 5620. The 63266-5063WO P4313 W04 activation susceptibility numbers associated with the key icons have been adjusted in accordance with the previously entered characters. For example, the activation susceptibility number of key icon changes from 5 to 10 because "God" is a common English word.
Thus, the key icon may be activated even if the next finger contact is closer to the key icon than to the key icon itself. Similarly, the activation susceptibility numbers associated with key icons and are also increased because each of the strings "Goa" and "Goo" leads to one or more legitimate English words such as "Goal", "Good", or "Goad." In contrast, the activation susceptibility number of key icon drops to 3 because the string "Gok" is not found at the beginning of any common English words.
[007471 Figure 560 depicts the updated activation susceptibility numbers associated with different key icons after another character is entered into the input field 5620. Given the string "Goa" that has been entered, the user may be typing the word "Goal." Accordingly, the activation susceptibility number associated with the key icon increases to 9 whereas the activation susceptibility number associated with the key icon drops to 2 because the string "Goao" is not found at the beginning of any common English words.

Gestures [007781 Figures 57A-57C illustrate an exemplary screen rotation gesture in accordance with some embodiments.
[007791 In some embodiments, a portable multifunction device device 100) displays a first application 5702 on a touch screen display 112) in a portrait orientation Figure 57A). In some embodiments, the first application is a browser, a photo manager, a music player, or a video player. In most implementations, but not necessarily all, the display is rectangular, or substantially rectangular the display may have rounded corners, but otherwise have a rectangular shape).
[007801 Simultaneous rotation of two thumbs 5704-L and 5704-R) in a first sense of rotation is detected on the touch screen display 112. In some embodiments, the first sense of rotation is a clockwise rotation Figure 57C).
[007811 In some embodiments, the sense of rotation for each thumb is detected by monitoring the change in orientation of the contact area of the thumb with the touch screen display. For example, if the contact area of the thumb is elliptical, the change in the orientation of an axis of the ellipse may be detected from contact ellipse 5706-L in Figure 57A to contact ellipse 5708-L in Figure 57B, as shown on an enlarged portion of touch screen 112 in Figure 57C). In some embodiments, at least some of a user's other fingers fingers other than thumbs 5704-L and 5704-R) support the device 100 by contacting the backside of the device.
[007821 In some embodiments, the first sense of rotation is a counterclockwise rotation. For example, if thumb 5704-L is initially on the lower left side of touch screen 112 157 63266-5063WO P4313W04 (rather than the upper left side in Figure 57A), thumb 5704-R is initially on the upper right side of touch screen 112 (rather than the lower right side in Figure 57A), and the thumbs are moved apart from each other, then the sense of rotation detected by the touch screen 112 will be counterclockwise for both thumbs.
[007831 In response to detecting the simultaneous rotation of the two thumbs in the first sense of rotation, the first application 5702 is displayed in a landscape orientation.
[007841 In some embodiments, the simultaneous two-thumb rotation gesture is used to override automatic changes in portrait/landscape orientation based on analysis of data from accelerometers 168 until a predetermined condition is met. In some embodiments, any changes in orientation of the device that are detected after the simultaneous rotation of the two thumbs is detected are disregarded until the device displays a second application different from the first application. In some embodiments, any changes in orientation of the device that are detected after the simultaneous rotation of the two thumbs is detected are disregarded until the device is put in a locked state or turned off. In some embodiments, any changes in orientation of the device that are detected after the simultaneous rotation of the two thumbs is detected are disregarded for a predetermined time period.
[007851 In some embodiments, simultaneous rotation of the two thumbs is detected in a second sense of rotation that is opposite the first sense of rotation on the touch screen display. In response to detecting the simultaneous rotation of the two thumbs in the second sense of rotation, the first application is displayed in a portrait orientation.
[007861 In some embodiments, any changes in orientation of the device that are detected after the simultaneous rotation of the two thumbs in the first sense is detected are disregarded until the simultaneous rotation of the two thumbs in the second sense is detected.
[007871 A graphical user interface on a portable multifunction device with a touch screen display comprises an application that is displayed in either a first orientation or a second orientation, the second orientation being 900 from the first orientation. In response to detecting simultaneous rotation of two thumbs in a first sense of rotation on the touch screen display, the display of the application changes from the first orientation to the second orientation. In some embodiments, the first orientation is a portrait orientation Figure 57A) and the second orientation is a landscape orientation Figure 57B). In some 63266-5063WO P4313W04 embodiments, the first orientation is a landscape orientation and the second orientation is a portrait orientation.
1007881 Additional description of gestures can be found in U.S. Provisional Patent Application Nos. 60/883,817, "Portable Electronic Device Performing Similar Operations For Different Gestures," filed January 7, 2007, and 60/946,970, "Screen Rotation Gestures on a Portable Multifunction Device," filed June 28, 2007, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
[007891 As noted above in connection with Figures 56A-56L, a cursor position for a finger contact with the touch screen display is adjusted in part based on the activation susceptibility numbers (or weights) assigned to user interface objects. Such cursor position adjustment helps to reduce the chance of selecting a user interface object by mistake.
Another approach to improving the chance of hitting a user-desired object icon is to associate the object icon with a hidden hit region. The hidden hit region overlaps the object icon but is larger than the object icon.
[007901 An issue with the hidden hit region approach is how to choose one user interface object over another when the hit regions of the two objects partially overlap and a finger contact (as represented by its cursor position) happens to fall into the overlapping hit regions.
[007911 Figures 58A-58D illustrate a method of identifying a user-desired user interface object when a finger contact's corresponding cursor position falls into overlapping hit regions in accordance with some embodiments.
[007921 Two user interface objects, a button control user interface object 5802 and a slide control user interface object 5806, are deployed close to each other on the touch screen display. For example, the button control object 5802 may be the backup control icon 2320, the play icon 2304, or the forward icon 2322, and the slide control user interface object 5806 may be the volume control icon 2324 in the music and video player module (see, e.g., Figure 23C).
[007931 The button control user interface object 5802 has a hidden hit region 5804 and the slide control user interface object 5806 has a hidden hit region 5816. The two hidden hit regions overlap at region 5810.
63266-5063WO P4313W04 [007941 Initially, a finger-down event at a first position on the touch screen display is detected. As will be explained below in connection with Figures 59A-59G, a finger-down event may be a finger-in-range event or a finger-in-contact event at or near the touch screen display.
[007951 In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 58A, the finger-down event occurs at a position 5805 in the overlapping hit region 5810. From the single finger-down event, it is impossible to determine whether the user intends to activate the button control user interface object 5802 or the slide control user interface object 5806.
[007961 In some embodiments, given the finger-down event position 5805, which is also the current cursor position, all the user interface objects that are associated with the position are identified. A user interface object is associated with a position if the position is within the user interface object or its hidden hit region. For illustrative purposes, the button control user interface object 5802 and the slide control user interface object 5806 are identified as being associated with the first position 5805. Note that the slide control user interface object 5806 includes a slide bar 5803 and a slide object 5801.
[007971 Next, a finger-up event is detected at a second position on the touch screen display. As will be explained below in connection with Figures 59A-59G, a finger-up event may be a finger-out-of-contact event or a finger-out-of-range event at or near the touch screen display.
[007981 In some embodiments, or in some contexts of a specific application, the finger-out-of-contact event is used as the finger-up event instead of the finger-out-of-range event if the button control user interface object is activated, because a user receives a more prompt response. This is because, as shown in Figure 59E, the finger-out-of-contact event occurs at an earlier time t=t 4 than the finger-out-of-range event, which occurs at time t=t 5 [007991 In some embodiments, or in some contexts of a specific application, the finger-out-of-range event is used as the finger-up event instead of the finger-out-of-contact event if the slide control user interface object is activated because the pair of finger-in-range and finger-out-of-range events are often used to move the slide object along the slide bar.
[00800] Given the first and second positions corresponding to the finger-down and finger-up events, a distance between the two positions is determined. If the distance is equal to or less than a first predefined threshold, the device performs a first action with respect to a 63266-5063W P4313 W04 first user interface object. If the distance is greater than a second predefined threshold, the device performs a second action with respect to a second user interface object. The first user interface object is different from the second user interface object. In some embodiments, the first and second predefined thresholds are the same. In some other embodiments, the second predefined threshold is higher than the first predefined threshold. In the latter embodiments, if the distance is between the two positions is between the first and second thresholds, neither the first nor the second user interface object is activated (or more generally, no action is performed with respect to either object. As a result, the user will need to more clearly indicate his or her intent by performing another gesture.
[008011 In some contexts in which the user gesture activates the slide control user interface object 5806, the second position is within the hit region 5816 of the slide control user interface object 5806 (5808 in Figure 58A). In some other contexts in which the user gesture activates the slide control user interface object 5806, the second position is outside hit region 5816 (5809 in Figure 58B13), but has a projection onto the slide bar. In either case, the device moves the slide object 5801 along the slide bar 5803 in accordance with the distance between the first position and the second position. In some embodiments, the distance between the two positions is projected onto the slide bar. As shown in Figures 58A-58B, the projected distance Ad, corresponds to the amount by which the slide object 5801 is moved along the slide bar 5803.
[008021 In some contexts in which the user gesture activates the button control user interface object 5802, the second position is also within the overlapping hit region (5803 in Figure 58C). In some other contexts in which the user gesture activates the button control.
user interface object 5802, the second position is within the hit region 5804 of the object 5802, but not within the slide control user interface object 5806's hit region. In either case, the device activates the button control user interface object 5802 to perform a predefined operation.
[008031 In some embodiments, after the finger-down event and before the finger-up event, a series of finger-dragging events are detected at positions on the touch screen display, but outside the slide control user interface object 5806's hit region 5816. In this case, the device moves the slide object 5801 along the slide bar 5803 from its current position to a different position determined at least in part by each finger-dragging event's associated position on the touch screen display. The slide object 5801 stops at the second position when 161 63266-5063W P4313W04 the finger-up event is detect. Exemplary graphical user interfaces of this embodiment are in Figures 47A-47E.

Provisional Patent Application No. 60/946,977, "Portable Multifunction Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Interpreting a Finger Gesture on a Touch Screen Display," filed June 28, 2007, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
[008051 Two types of finger gestures that a user may apply to a touch screen display are: a finger tap or (ii) a finger swipe. A finger tap often occurs at a button-style user interface object a key icon of the soft keyboard) and a finger swipe is often (but not always) associated with a slide control user interface object the volume control icon of the music and video player).
[008061 In some embodiments, a parameter is used to describe the process of a finger approaching a touch screen display, contacting the touch screen display, and leaving the touch screen display. The parameter can be a distance between the finger and the touch screen display, a pressure the finger has on the touch screen display, a contact area between the finger and the touch screen, a voltage between the finger and the touch screen, a capacitance between the finger and the touch screen display or a function of one or more of the physical parameters.
[00807) In some embodiments, depending on the magnitude of the parameter capacitance) between the finger and the touch screen display, the finger is described as out of range from the touch screen display if the parameter is below an in-range threshold, (ii) inrange but out of contact with the touch screen display if the parameter is above the in-range threshold but lower than an in-contact threshold, or (iii) in contact with the touch screen display if the parameter is above the in-contact threshold.
[008081 Figures 59A-59E illustrate how a finger tap gesture activates a soft key icon on a touch screen display in accordance with some embodiments.
[008091 At t=tl (Figure 59A), a user's finger moves down to a distance d, away from the touch screen display 112 of the device 100. As shown in Figure 59E, this distance d, is beyond the in-range distance threshold. Therefore, no key icon on the touch screen display gets highlighted.
63266-5063W P4313 W04 [008101 At t=t 2 (Figure 59B), the finger moves further down to a distance d 2 away from the touch screen display. As shown in Figure 59E, this distance d 2 is at or slightly below within) the in-range distance threshold. At this distance the user's finger is in-range of the touch screen display. As a result, the key icon that is close to the finger on the touch screen display is highlighted. In some embodiments, an icon is highlighted by altering its color or altering its shape magnifying the icon) or both to give an indication to the user of its status change.
[00811] At t--t 3 (Figure 59C), the finger is distance d 3 away from the touch screen display. As shown in Figure 59E, this distance d 3 is at or slightly below the in-contact distance threshold. At this distance, the user's finger is in-contact with the touch screen display. As a result, the key icon is further highlighted. In some embodiments, an icon is further highlighted by displaying a magnified instance of the icon next to the icon. As shown in Figure 59C, the magnified instance (which may have an appearance like a balloon) has a visual link with the key icon on the soft keyboard.
[008121 At t=t 4 (Figure 59D), the finger is lifted up to a distance d4 away from the touch screen display. As shown in Figure 59E, this distance d 4 is at or slightly above the incontact distance threshold. In other words, the finger is just out of contact with the touch screen. In some embodiments, the sequence of finger movements from ti to t 4 corresponds to a finger tap gesture on the key icon As a result, the key icon is selected and entered into an input field at another location on the touch screen display.
[008131 At t=t 5 (Figure 59E), the finger is further lifted up to a distance d 5 away from the touch screen display, indicating that the finger is just out of range from the touch screen.
In some embodiments, the key icon is selected and entered into the input field at this moment.
[008141 In some embodiments, the in-contact threshold corresponds to a parameter such as capacitance between the finger and the touch screen display. It may or may not correlate with the event that the finger is in physical contact with the touch screen. For example, the finger may be deemed in contact with the screen if the capacitance between the two reaches the in-contact threshold while the finger has not physically touched the screen.
Alternatively, the finger may be deemed out of contact with (but still in range from) the screen if the capacitance between the two is below the in-contact threshold while the finger has a slight physical contact the screen.
63266-5063WO P4313W04 [008151 Note that the distances shown in Figure 59A-59E or for that matter in other figures described in the application are exaggerated for illustrative purposes.
[008161 Additional description of interpreting a finger swipe gesture can be found in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/947,140, "Portable Multifunction Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Interpreting a Finger Swipe Gesture," filed June 29, 2007, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
[008171 Figures 59F-59H illustrate how a finger swipe gesture controls a slide control icon on a touch screen display in accordance with some embodiments.
[008181 At t=t 6 (Figure 59F), the finger is close enough to the touch screen display such that a finger-in-contact event (see the cross at position A in Figure 59H) is detected at a first position A on the touch screen display. A user interface object such as a slide control icon is identified at the position A. The slide control icon may include a slide bar and a slide object that can move along the slide bar. In some embodiments, the slide object is at position A and the finger-in-contact event causes the slide object at position A to be activated.
[008191 In some embodiments, the slide object is activated by a finger-in-range event (see the cross at position A in Figure 59G), not by a finger-in-contact event (see the cross at position E 1 in Figure 59G).
[008201 At t=ts (Figure 59F), the finger moves across the touch screen display until a finger-out-of-range event is detected at a second position C on the touch screen display (see, the crosses at position C in Figures 59G and 59H respectively).
[008211 Following the movement of the finger, the slide object on the touch screen display moves along the slide bar from the first position A to the second position C on the touch screen display. A distance between the first position A and the second position C on the touch screen display is determined.
[008221 In some embodiments, after the initial finger-in-contact or finger-in-range event at position A, the finger moves away from the slide control icon such that the finger is no longer in contact with the slide object when the finger-out-of-range event occurs. Please refer to the description in connection with Figures 47A-47E for detail. In this case, the distance by which the slide object is moved along the slide bar is determined by projecting the distance between the first position A and the second position C onto the slide bar.
63266-5063WO P4313W04 [008231 In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 59F, after the initial finger-incontact event or finger-in-range event is detected, a finger-dragging event on or near the touch screen display is detected at t=--t 7 which has an associated position on the touch screen display. Accordingly, the slide object is moved along the slide bar of the slider control icon from its first position A to position B, which is determined at least in part by the fingerdragging event's associated position on the touch screen display.
[008241 In some embodiments, the finger-dragging event is generated and detected repeatedly. Accordingly, the slide object is moved along the slide bar from one position to another position until the finger-out-of-range event is detected.
[008251 In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 59G and 59H, after the initial finger-in-contact or finger-in-range event is detected, the finger may be in contact with the touch screen display at one moment (see the cross at E 1 in Figures 59G and 59H), thereby generating a finger-in-contact event, and then out of contact with the display at another moment (see the cross at E 2 in Figures 59G and 59H), thereby generating a finger-out-contact event. But these pairs of finger-in-contact event and finger-out-of-contact event on the touch screen display have no effect on the movement of the slide object along the slide bar. In other words, during a particular finger swipe gesture on the display, the finger may be within a certain range from the touch screen display, but only in contact with the screen for a portion of the gesture (as shown in Figure 59G), or it may even be the case that it is never in contact with the screen.
1008261 In some embodiments, a time period t from the moment t 6 of the finger-incontact event or finger-in-range event to the moment t 8 of the finger-out-of- range event is determined. This time period t, in combination with the distance from the first position A to the second position C, determines whether a finger swipe gesture occurs on the touch screen display and if true, the distance by which (and the speed at which) the slide object needs to moved along the slide bar until the finger-out-of-range event is detected.
Heuristics [008271 In some embodiments, heuristics are used to translate imprecise finger gestures into actions desired by the user.
[008281 Figure 64A is a flow diagram illustrating a method 6400 of applying one or more heuristics in accordance with some embodiments. A computing device with a touch 63266-5063W P4313 W04 screen display detects (6402) one or more finger contacts with the touch screen display. In some embodiments, the computing device is a portable multifunction device. In some embodiments, the computing device is a tablet computer. In some embodiments, the computing device is a desktop computer.
1008291 The device applies one or more heuristics to the one or more finger contacts to determine (6404) a command for the device. The device processes (6412) the command.
[008301 The one or more heuristics comprise: a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts 3937, Figure 39C) correspond to a one-dimensional vertical screen scrolling command (6406); a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts 1626, Figure 16A; 3532, Figure 35B; or 3939, Figure 39C) correspond to a two-dimensional screen translation command (6408); and a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts 1616 or 1620, Fig 16A; 2416, Figure 24A) correspond to a command to transition from displaying a respective item in a set of items to displaying a next item in the set of items (6410).
[008311 In some embodiments, the one or more heuristics include a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts 1616 or 1618, Fig 16A; 2416, Figure 24A) correspond to a command to transition from displaying a respective item in a set of items to displaying a previous item in the set of items.
[008321 In some embodiments, the one or more heuristics include a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts correspond to a command to display a keyboard primarily comprising letters. For example, in some embodiments, gestures 1802 and 1818 (Figures 18D 18E) correspond to a command to display a letter keyboard 616 (Figure 18E). Similarly, in response to gestures 1804 and 1806 (Figures 18D 18E), the letter keyboard 616 is displayed (Figure 18E). In another example, a gesture 2506 (Figure 25C) on a text entry box results in display of a letter keyboard 616 (Figure 1008331 In some embodiments, the one or more heuristics include a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts correspond to a command to display a keyboard primarily comprising numbers. For example, a gesture activating other number icon 812 (Figure 8B) results in display of a numerical keyboard 624 (Figure In another example, a gesture on the zip code field 2654 in Figure 26L results in display of a keyboard primarily comprising numbers keyboard 624, Figure 6C).
63266-5063WO P4313W04 [008341 In some embodiments, the one or more heuristics include a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts gesture 3951, Figure 39G) correspond to a one-dimensional horizontal screen scrolling command.
[008351 In some embodiments, the one or more heuristics include a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts contacts 3941 and 3943, Figure 39C; contacts 3945 and 3947, Figure 39D; contact by thumbs 5704-L and 5704-R, Figures 57A- 57C) correspond to a 90' screen rotation command.
[008361 In some embodiments, the one or more heuristics include a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts gesture 1216 or 1218, Fig 12A; gesture 1618 or 1620, Figure 16A; gesture 3923, Figure 39A) correspond to a command to zoom in by a predetermined amount.
[008371 In some embodiments, the one or more heuristics include a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts contacts 1910 and 1912, Figure 19B; contacts 2010 and 2012, Figure 20; contacts 3931 and 3933, Figure 39C) correspond to a command to zoom in by a user-specified amount.
[008381 In some embodiments, the one or more heuristics include a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts correspond to a command to show a heads up display. For example, contact with the touch screen 112 detected while a video 2302 (Figure 23A) is playing results in showing the heads up display of Figure 23C. In another example, detection of gesture 4030 (Figure 40B) results in the display of one or more playback controls, as shown in Figure 40C. The heads up display or playback controls may be displayed or superimposed over other content displayed on the touch screen 112.
[008391 In some embodiments, the one or more heuristics include a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts contact 2722, Figure 27B) correspond to a command to reorder an item in a list.
[008401 In some embodiments, the one or more heuristics include a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts contact 4346, Figure 43L) correspond to a command to replace a first user interface object with a second user interface object.
[008411 In some embodiments, the one or more heuristics include a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts contacts 4214, Figures 42A 42C) 63266-5063WO P4313 W04 correspond to a command to translate content within a frame frame 4204) rather than translating an entire page that includes the frame.
1008421 In some embodiments, the one or more heuristics include a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts correspond to a command to operate a slider icon slider bar 4704, Figures 47A-47B; icon 4732, Figures 47C-47E) with one or more finger contacts movements 4710, 4712, and 4714, Figure 47B; movements 4738, 4740, and 4742, Figure 47D) outside an area that includes the slider icon.
1008431 In some embodiments, the one or more heuristics include a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts a gesture moving the unlock image 302 across the channel 306, Figures 3 53B) correspond to a user interface unlock command.
[008441 In some embodiments, the one or more heuristics include a heuristic for determining which user interface object is selected when two user interface objects button control user interface object 5802 and slide control user interface object 5806, Figures 58A-D) have overlapping hit regions hit regions 5804 and 5816).
[008451 In some embodiments, in one heuristic of the one or more heuristics, a contact contact 3937, Figure 39C) comprising a finger swipe gesture that initially moves within a predetermined angle of being perfectly vertical with respect to the touch screen display corresponds to a one-dimensional vertical screen scrolling command.
[008461 In some embodiments, in one heuristic of the one or more heuristics, a contact contact 3939, Figure 39C) comprising a moving finger gesture that initially moves within a predefined range of angles corresponds to a two-dimensional screen translation command.
[008471 In some embodiments, in one heuristic of the one or more heuristics, a contact comprising a finger swipe gesture that initially moves within a predetermined angle of being perfectly horizontal with respect to the touch screen display corresponds to a one-dimensional horizontal screen scrolling command. For example, a finger swipe gesture that initially moves within 27* of being perfectly horizontal corresponds to a horizontal scrolling command, in a manner analogous to vertical swipe gesture 3937 (Figure 39C).
[008481 In some embodiments, in one heuristic of the one or more heuristics, a contact gestures 1802 and 1818, Figures 18D 18E; gesture 2506, Figure 25C) comprising a 63266-5063W0 P4313W04 finger tap gesture on a text box corresponds to a command to display a keyboard keyboard 616) primarily comprising letters.
[008491 In some embodiments, in one heuristic of the one or more heuristics, a contact contacting other number icon 812, Figure 8B; contacting the zip code field 2654 in Figure 26L) comprising a finger tap gesture on a number field corresponds to a command to display a keyboard primarily comprising numbers keyboard 624, Figure 6C).
[008501 In some embodiments, in one heuristic of the one or more heuristics, a contact gesture 3941 and 3943, Figure 39C; gesture 3945 and 3947, Figure 39D) comprising a multifinger twisting gesture corresponds to a 90' screen rotation command.
[008511 In some embodiments, in one heuristic of the one or more heuristics, a contact by thumbs 5704-L and 5704-R, Figures 57A-57C) comprising a simultaneous twothumb twisting gesture corresponds to a 90' screen rotation command.
[00852] In some embodiments, in one heuristic of the one or more heuristics, a contact comprising a double tap gesture on a box of content in a structured electronic document a double tap gesture on block 3914-5, Figure 39A) corresponds to a command to enlarge and substantially center the box of content. In some embodiments, repeating the double tap gesture reverses the prior zoom-in operation, causing the prior view of the document to be restored.
[008531 In some embodiments, in one heuristic of the one or more heuristics, a multifinger de-pinch gesture gesture 3931 and 3933, Figure 39C) corresponds to a command to enlarge information in a portion of the touch screen display in accordance with a position of the multi-finger de-pinch gesture and an amount of finger movement in the multi-finger de-pinch gesture.
[00854] In some embodiments, in one heuristic of the one or more heuristics, an Nfinger translation gesture 4210, Figures 42A-42B) corresponds to a command to translate an entire page of content and an M-finger translation gesture 4214, Figures 42A 42C) corresponds to a command to translate content within a frame frame 4204, Figures 42A-42C) rather than translating the entire page of content that includes the frame.
[008551 In some embodiments, in one heuristic of the one or more heuristics, a swipe gesture on an unlock icon a gesture moving the unlock image 302 across the channel 306, Figures 3 53B) corresponds to a user interface unlock command.
169 63266-5063WO P4313W04 [008561 These heuristics help the device to behave in the manner desired by the user despite inaccurate input by the user.
[008571 Figure 64B is a flow diagram illustrating a method 6430 of applying one or more heuristics in accordance with some embodiments. While the method 6430 described below includes a number of operations that appear to occur in a specific order, it should be apparent that the method 6430 can include more or fewer operations, that an order of two or more operations may be changed and/or that two or more operations may be combined into a single operation. For example, operations 6446-6456 may be performed prior to operations 6432-6444.
[008581 A computing device with a touch screen display displays (6432) a web browser application UI 3900A, Figure 39A). In some embodiments, the computing device is a portable multifunction device. In some embodiments, the computing device is a tablet computer. In some embodiments, the computing device is a desktop computer.
[008591 While the computing device displays the web browser application, one or more first finger contacts with the touch screen display are detected (6434).
[008601 A first set of heuristics for the web browser application is applied (6436) to the one or more first finger contacts to determine a first command for the device. The first set of heuristics includes: a heuristic for determining that the one or more first finger contacts 3937, Figure 39C) correspond to a one-dimensional vertical screen scrolling command (6438); a heuristic for determining that the one or more first finger contacts 1626, Figure 16A; 3532, Figure 35B; or 3939, Figure 39C) correspond to a two-dimensional screen translation command (6440); and a heuristic for determining that the one or more first finger contacts gesture 3951, Figure 39G) correspond to a one-dimensional horizontal screen scrolling command (6442).
[008611 The first command is processed (6444). For example, the device executes the first command.
[008621 In some embodiments, the first set of heuristics includes a heuristic for determining that the one or more first finger contacts contacts 3941 and 3943, Figure 39C; contacts 3945 and 3947, Figure 39D; contact by thumbs 5704-L and 5704-R, Figures 57A-57C) correspond to a 90' screen rotation command.
63266-5063WO P4313 W04 [008631 In some embodiments, the first set of heuristics includes a heuristic for determining that the one or more first finger contacts gesture 1216 or 1218, Fig 12A; gesture 1618 or 1620, Figure 16A; gesture 3923, Figure 39A) correspond to a command to zoom in by a predetermined amount.
[008641 In some embodiments, the first set of heuristics includes a heuristic for determining that the one or more first finger contacts contacts 1910 and 1912, Figure 19B; contacts 2010 and 2012, Figure 20; contacts 3931 and 3933, Figure 39C) correspond to a command to zoom in by a user-specified amount.
[008651 In some embodiments, the first set of heuristics includes a heuristic for determining that the one or more first finger contacts contact 3923 on block 3914-5, Figure 39A) correspond to a command to enlarge and substantially center a box of content.
[008661 In some embodiments, the first set of heuristics includes a heuristic for determining that the one or more first finger contacts contacts 4214, Figures 42A 42C) correspond to a command to translate content within a frame frame 4204) rather than translating an entire page that includes the frame.
[008671 In some embodiments, the first set of heuristics includes: a heuristic for determining that the one or more first finger contacts correspond to a command to zoom in by a predetermined amount; a heuristic for determining that the one or more first finger contacts correspond to a command to zoom in by a user-specified amount; and a heuristic for determining that the one or more first finger contacts correspond to a command to enlarge and substantially center a box of content. In some embodiments, the first set of heuristics (or another set of heuristics) include one or more heuristics for reversing the prior zoom in operation, causing the prior view of a document or image to be restored in response to a repeat of the gesture a double tap gesture).
[008681 While the device displays (6446) a photo album application UI 1200A, Figure 12A; UI 1600A, Figure 16A; or UI 4300CC, Figure 43CC), one or more second finger contacts with the touch screen display are detected (6448).
[008691 A second set of heuristics for the web browser application is applied (6450) to the one or more second finger contacts to determine a second command for the device. The second set of heuristics includes: a heuristic for determining that the one or more second finger contacts 1218 or 1220, Figure 12A; 1616 or 1620, Figure 16A; 4399, Figure 63266-5063W P4313W04 43CC) correspond to a command to transition from displaying a first image in a set of images to displaying a next image in the set of images (6452) and a heuristic for determining that the one or more second finger contacts 1216 or 1220, Figure 12A; 1616 or 1618, Figure 16A; 4399, Figure 43CC) correspond to a command to transition from displaying the first image in the set of images to displaying a previous image in the set of images (6454).
[008701 The second command is processed (6456). For example, the device executes the second command.
1008711 In some embodiments, the second set of heuristics includes a heuristic for determining that the one or more second finger contacts correspond to a command to zoom in by a predetermined amount. In some embodiments, the second set of heuristics (or another set of heuristics) include one or more heuristics for reversing the prior zoom in operation, causing the prior view of an image to be restored in response to a repeat of the gesture a double tap gesture).
[008721 In some embodiments, the second set of heuristics includes a heuristic for determining that the one or more second finger contacts correspond to a command to zoom in by a user-specified amount.
[008731 In some embodiments, the second set of heuristics includes: a heuristic for determining that the one or more second finger contacts correspond to a one-dimensional vertical screen scrolling command; a heuristic for determining that the one or more second finger contacts correspond to a two-dimensional screen translation command; and a heuristic for determining that the one or more second finger contacts correspond to a one-dimensional horizontal screen scrolling command.
[008741 In some embodiments, while the device displays an application that receives text input via the touch screen display UI 1800D and UI 1800E, Figures 18D 18E; UI 2600L, Figure 26L), one or more third finger contacts with the touch screen display are detected. A third set of heuristics for the application that receives text input is applied to the one or more third finger contacts to determine a third command for the device. The third set of heuristics includes a heuristic for determining that the one or more third finger contacts gestures 1802 and 1818, Figures 18D 18E) correspond to a command to display a keyboard primarily comprising letters letter keyboard 616, Figure 18E) and a heuristic for determining that the one or more third finger contacts a gesture on the zip code field 63266-5063W P4313 W04 2654, Figure 26L) correspond to a command to display a keyboard primarily comprising numbers numerical keyboard 624, Figure The third command is processed.
[008751 In some embodiments, while the device displays a video player application UI 2300A, Figure 23A), one or more fourth finger contacts with the touch screen display are detected. A fourth set of heuristics for the video player application is applied to the one or more fourth finger contacts to determine a fourth command for the device. The fourth set of heuristics includes a heuristic for determining that the one or more fourth finger contacts correspond to a command to operate a slider icon slider bar 4704, Figures 47A- 47B; icon 4732, Figures 47C-47E) with one or more finger contacts movements 4710, 4712, and 4714, Figure 4713B; movements 4738, 4740, and 4742, Figure 47D) outside an area that includes the slider icon. The fourth set of heuristics also includes a heuristic for determining that the one or more fourth finger contacts correspond to a command to show a heads up display. For example, contact with the touch screen 112 detected while a video 2302 (Figure 23A) is playing results in showing the heads up display of Figure 23C. The heads up display is superimposed over the video 2302 that is also being displayed on the touch screen 112. In another example, detection of gesture 4030 (Figure 40B) results in the display of one or more playback controls, as shown in Figure 40C. En the example shown in Figure the playback controls are superimposed over inline multimedia content 4002-1 that is also being displayed on the touch screen 112. The fourth command is processed.
[008761 The heuristics of method 6430, like the heuristics of method 6400, help the device to behave in the manner desired by the user despite inaccurate input by the user.

Keyboards 1008781 Figures 60A-60M illustrate exemplary soft keyboards in accordance with some embodiments.
1008791 A brief description of finger tap and finger swipe gestures is provided above in connection with Figures 59A-59H. The same model is used below to illustrate how the device responds to a continuous finger movement on its touch screen display.
63266-5063W P4313W04 [008801 Figures 60A-60G illustrate exemplary user interfaces for displaying one or more key icons in response to a continuous finger movement on or near a soft keyboard on a touch screen display in accordance with some embodiments. The soft keyboard includes multiple key icons.
[008811 At time t=tl (Figure 60A), a finger-in-contact event is detected at the key icon and the key icon is highlighted.
[008821 In some embodiments, the key icon is highlighted by displaying a balloon-type symbol near the key icon. For example, as shown in Figure 60A, the symbol is a magnified instance of the key icon There is a visual link between the magnified instance and the key icon to further highlight their relationship.
[008831 In some embodiments, the highlighted key icon is activated ifa finger-out-ofcontact event is detected at the key icon. If so, the character is entered into a predefined location on the display in an input field).
[008841 Subsequently, when the finger moves away from the key icon the key icon is de-highlighted. As shown in Figure 60B, although the finger moves away from the key icon it is still in contact with the touch screen display. In other words, no fingerout-of-contact event is detected yet after the initial finger-in-contact event at t=t l [008851 In some embodiments, the key icon is de-highlighted by removing the balloontype symbol near the key icon Sometimes, there is a predefined time delay between moving the finger away from the key icon and removing the adjacent symbol.
[008861 Next, while being in consistent contact with the touch screen display, the finger is detected to be in contact with a second key icon at time t= t 2 and this key icon is highlighted accordingly.
[008871 In some embodiments, the second key icon is highlighted by displaying a balloon-type symbol near the key icon. As shown in Figure 60A, the symbol is a magnified instance of the key icon near the key icon. There is also a visual link between the magnified instance and the key icon [008881 When the finger moves away from the second key icon the second key icon is de-highlighted. The aforementioned series of operations repeats until a finger-out-ofcontact event is detected at a particular location the location occupied by the key icon on the touch screen at time t= t 3 63266-5063W0 P4313W04 [008891 In some embodiments, the finger-out-of-contact event is triggered when the finger is lifted off the touch screen display, and this event causes the selection or activation of a corresponding object if the finger-out-of-contact event occurs over or within a predefined range of the object. Continuing with the exemplary user gesture shown in Figure 60C, as a result of the finger-out-of-contact event, not only is the key icon de-highlighted by removing its magnified instance, but an instance of the character is displayed at a predefined location on the touch screen display in a text input field).
[008901 As noted above, the distances dl and d 2 shown in Figure 60A are exaggerated for illustrative purposes. In some embodiments, the finger is always in physical contact with the touch screen from time t= t, to time t= t 3 The distances may be correlated with the finger's contact area or contact pressure on the touch screen display or the voltage or capacitance between the finger and the display.
[00891j As noted above in connection with Figure 59B, a user interface object a key icon) may be highlighted whenever a finger is within a predefined range from the object.
Therefore, in some embodiments, as shown in Figures 60C-60D, a key icon is highlighted by altering its original appearance (without showing the balloon-type symbol) when the finger is within a predefined distance d 4 from the key icon at time t= t4.
[008921 When the finger moves outside the predefined distance from the key icon, but still within a predefined range from the display (as shown in Figure 60D), the key icon resumes its original appearance.
[008931 In some embodiments, an icon's appearance is altered by changing its color or shape or both. In some other embodiments, an icon's appearance is altered by covering it with a magnified instance of the same icon.
[008941 As shown in Figure 60C, when the finger is moved within a predefined distance from the second key icon at time t= t 5 the second key icon's original appearance is altered accordingly and then resumes to its original appearance when the finger subsequently moves outside the predefined distance from the second key icon.
[008951 Note that a difference between the embodiment shown in Figures 60A-60B and the embodiment shown in Figures 60C-60D is that a character is selected and entered into an input field at time t= t 3 in Figures 60A-60B, whereas no key icon is selected at 63266-5063W P4313W04 time t= t 6 in Figures 60C-60D because no finger-in-contact event was detected in the latter case.
[00896] As noted above, a parameter is used to characterize the relationship between the finger and the touch screen display in some embodiments. This parameter may be a function of one or more other parameters such as a distance, a pressure, a contact area, a voltage, or a capacitance between the finger and the touch screen display.
1008971 In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 60D, a user interface object a first key icon) is highlighted by altering its original appearance) when the parameter associated with the finger and the touch screen display occupied by the first key icon reaches or passes a first predefined level the in-range threshold in Figure 60D) in a first direction in a decreasing direction).
[008981 In some embodiments, a highlighted key icon is then de-highlighted by resuming its original appearance) when the parameter associated with the finger and the touch screen display occupied by the highlighted key icon reaches or passes the first predefined level the in-range threshold in Figure 60D) in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction in an increasing direction).
[008991 In some embodiments, the first key icon is further highlighted by displaying a balloon-type symbol next to the key icon) when the parameter associated with the finger and the touch screen display occupied by the first key icon reaches or passes a second predefined level the in-contact threshold in Figure 60B) in the first direction in the decreasing direction).
[009001 In some embodiments, the highlighted key icon is de-highlighted by removing the balloon-type symbol next to the key icon) when the parameter associated with the finger and the touch screen display occupied by the first key icon reaches or passes the second predefined level the in-contact threshold in Figure 60B) in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction in an increasing direction). In some embodiments, the key icon's associated character is selected and entered into a predefined text input field.
[009011 In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 60B and 60D, the first and second predefined levels are configured such that the parameter reaches the first predefined level before reaching the second predefined level in the first direction. But the parameter does not have to reach the second predefined level before reaching the first predefined level in the 63266-5063W P4313 W04 second direction that is opposite to the first direction. For example, the parameter has to first reach the in-range threshold before it reaches the in-contact threshold. But the parameter may never reach the in-contact threshold before it moves out of the range from the key icon.
[009021 As noted above, only one key icon is selected in the embodiment shown in Figures 60A-60B when the finger-out-of-contact event is detected at the key icon Alternatively, a series of key icons can be selected without any finger-out-of-contact event if the parameter associated with the finger and the display is compared against another threshold level.
[009031 As shown in Figure 60F, a new "selection" threshold is used to compare with the parameters. In this particular embodiment, the selection threshold is set to be below the in-contact threshold.
[009041 At time t= t7, a key icon is highlighted when the finger meets a first predefined condition.
[009051 In some embodiments, the first predefined condition is that the parameter associated with the finger and the touch screen display occupied by the key icon reaches or passes a first predefined level the in-contact threshold) in a first direction in an decreasing direction).
[009061 At time t= ts, the key icon is selected when the finger meets a second predefined condition and the finger stays within a predefined distance from the touch screen display.
[009071 In some embodiments, the second predefined condition is that the parameter associated with the finger and the touch screen display occupied by the key icon reaches or passes a second predefined level in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction while the finger is still within a predefined distance from the first icon. In some embodiments, an instance of the selected key icon is entered at a predefined location on the touch screen display.
[009081 At time t= t 9 a key icon is highlighted when the finger meets the first predefined condition.
[009091 At time t= tio, the key icon is selected when the finger meets the second predefined condition and the finger stays within a predefined distance from the touch screen display.
63266-5063W P4313W04 [009101 The aforementioned operations repeat until a finger-out-of-contact event is detected at time t= t 12 and an instance of the character is the last one entered into the corresponding text input field.
[009111 Figure 60G is an exemplary graphical user interface illustrating a character string "HCN" is entered into the text field 6008 when the finger moves from position 6002 to 6004 and then to 6006. The three balloon-type symbols are displayed temporarily when the finger is in contact with their corresponding key icons on the soft keyboard. Advantageously, the aforementioned character input approach is faster than the approach as shown in Figures 59A-59D.
[009121 In some embodiments, a plurality of icons including first and second icons are displayed on the touch screen display. When a finger is in contact with the first icon, its appearance is altered to visually distinguish the first icon from other icons on the touch screen display. When the finger subsequently moves away from the first icon while still being in contact with the touch screen display, the visual distinction associated with the first icon is removed. Subsequently, the second icon's appearance is altered to visually distinguish the second icon from other icons on the touch screen display when the finger is in contact with the second icon.
[009131 One challenge with entering characters through the soft keyboard shown in Figure 60G is that the size of the key icons may be too small to hit for some users.
Accordingly, Figures 60H-60M are exemplary graphical user interfaces illustrating different types of soft keyboards in accordance with some embodiments. These soft keyboards have larger key icons and are therefore more convenient for those users having difficulty with keyboards like that shown in Figure [009141 In response to a user request for soft keyboard, a first keyboard is displayed on the touch screen display. The first keyboard includes at least one multi-symbol key icon.
[009151 In some embodiments (as shown in Figure 60H), the first soft keyboard includes multiple multi-symbol key icons. For example, the key icon 6010 includes five symbols and [009161 Upon detecting a user selection of the multi-symbol key icon, the device replaces the first keyboard with a second keyboard. The second keyboard includes a plurality 63266-5063W P4313 W04 of single-symbol key icons and each single-symbol key icon corresponds to a respective symbol associated with the multi-symbol key icon.
[009171 Figure 601 depicts a second keyboard replacing the first keyboard shown in Figure 60H. Note that the top two rows of six multi-symbol key icons are replaced by two rows of five single-symbol key icons and a back key icon. Each of the five single-symbol key icons include one symbol from the multi-symbol key icon 6010.
[009181 In response to a user selection of one of the single-symbol key icons, an instance of a symbol associated with the user-selected single-symbol key icon is displayed at a predefined location on the touch screen display.
[009191 As shown in Figure 601, in response to a user selection of the single-symbol key icon 6017, a letter is entered into the text field 6019. A user can easily tap any of the five single-symbol key icons because they are quite large. To return to the first keyboard with multi-symbol key icons, the user can tap the back key icon at the center of the top row of the second keyboard.
[009201 To enter a non-alphabetic character, the user can tap the keyboard switch icon 6015. As shown in Figure 60J, a third soft keyboard replaces the second keyboard shown in Figure 601. In particular, each of the top two rows is a multi-symbol key icon including multiple non-alphabetic characters. For example, the key icon 6020 includes five digit symbols and [009211 A user selection of the key icon 6020 replaces the third keyboard with the fourth keyboard shown in Figure 60K. Note that the top two rows of six multi-symbol key icons are now replaced by two rows of five single-symbol key icons and a back key icon.
Each of the five single-symbol key icons include one digit symbol from the multi-symbol key icon 6020. A finger tap of the keyboard switch icon 6025 brings back the alphabetic multisymbol keyboard shown in Figure [009221 In some embodiments, the top row of a soft keyboard is reserved for those single-symbol key icons and the second row of the keyboard displays multiple multi-symbol key icons.
[009231 As shown in Figure 60L, a user selection of the multi-symbol key icon 6030 causes the top row to display five single-symbol key icons, each icon including one character from the multi-symbol key icon 6030.
63266-5063W0 P4313W04 [009241 In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 60L, the user-selected multi-symbol key icon 6030 is displayed in a manner visually distinguishable from other icons on the same soft keyboard. The manner may include changing its color, shape or the like that is known to one skilled in the art.
[009251 The keyboard shown in Figure 60L also includes a keyboard switch icon 6035.
Upon detecting a user selection of the keyboard switch icon 35, the device replaces the keyboard with another one as shown in Figure 60M. Note that the keyboard in Figure includes another set of multi-symbol key icons such as 6040 in replacement of the multisymbol key icons shown in the previous keyboard.

[009271 Figures 61 illustrates an exemplary finger contact with a soft keyboard in accordance with some embodiments.
[009281 In some embodiments, user interface 6100 (Figure 61) includes the following elements, or a subset or superset thereof: 402, 404, and 406, as described above; e Instant messages icon 602 that when activated by a finger tap on the icon) initiates transition to a UI listing instant message conversations UI 500); Names 504 of the people a user is having instant message conversations with Jane Doe 504-1) or the phone number if the person's name is not available 408- 123-4567 504-3); SInstant messages 604 from the other party, typically listed in order along one side of UI 6100; 9 Instant messages 606 to the other party, typically listed in order along the opposite side of UI 6100 to show the back and forth interplay of messages in the conversation; Timestamps 608 for at least some of the instant messages; Text entry box 612; 63266-5063W P4313W04 Send icon 614 that when activated by a finger tap on the icon) initiates sending of the message in text entry box 612 to the other party Jane Doe 504-1); Letter keyboard 616 for entering text in box 612; Word suggestion boxes 6102 and/or 6104 that when activated by a finger tap on the icon) initiate display of a suggested word in text entry box 612 in place of a partially entered word.
[009291 In some embodiments, a finger contact detected on letter keyboard 616 partially overlaps two or more key icons. For example, finger contact 6106 includes overlap with the letter 6108, with the letter 6110, with the letter 6112, and with the letter 6114. In some embodiments, the letter with the largest partial overlap with the detected finger contact with the highest percentage of overlap) is selected. Based on this letter and on previously entered text corresponding to an incomplete word, a suggested word is displayed in word suggestion boxes 6102 and/or 6104.
[009301 In some embodiments, in response to detecting a finger contact on letter keyboard 616, a letter is selected based on the extent of partial overlap with key icons and on the previously entered text corresponding to an incomplete word. For example, if a finger contact overlaps with four letter key icons, but only two of the letters when added to the previously entered text produce a possible correctly spelled word, whichever of the two letters has the largest partial overlap is selected. Based on the selected letter and on the previously entered text, a suggested word is then displayed in word suggestion boxes 6102 and/or 6104.
[009311 Although Figure 61 illustrates an exemplary user interface for predicting words based on detecting contact with a keyboard and on previously entered text in the context of instant messaging,, analogous user interfaces are possible for any application involving text entry.

The airplane mode switch icon has an "on" position 6206, Figure 62B) and an "off' position 6204, Figure 62A).
[009351 If the airplane mode switch icon is at the "off' position, a communications signal strength icon 402) is displayed on the touch screen display.
[009361 Upon detecting a movement of a finger contact on or near the airplane mode switch icon from the "off' position to the "on" position, the communications signal strength icon is replaced with an airplane icon 6208, Figure 62B). In some embodiments, detecting the movement of the finger contact comprises detecting a finger-down event at or near the airplane mode switch icon at the "off' position, one or more finger-dragging events, and a finger-up event at or near the airplane mode switch icon at the "on" position.
1009371 For example, in UI 6200A (Figure 62A), a swipe gesture from the "off' position 6204 to the "on" position 6206 may be detected. In response to detecting the swipe gesture, the communications signal strength icon 402 is replaced with the airplane icon 6208 (Figure 62B).
[009381 In some embodiments, replacing the communications signal strength icon with the plane icon includes moving the plane icon on the touch screen display towards the communications signal strength icon and then moving the plane icon over the communications signal strength icon. For example, the plane icon 6208 may appear at the edge of UI 6200A (Figure 62A) and move toward the communications signal strength icon 402. Upon reaching the communications signal strength icon 402, the plane icon 6208 moves over the communications signal strength icon 402 until the icon 402 is no longer displayed, as shown in Figure 62B.
