[0001] [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to computer user interfaces, and more specifically to techniques for navigating a collection of media items.BACKGROUND
[0002] [0002] As the storage capacity and processing power of devices continues to increase, coupled with the rise of effortless media sharing between interconnected devices, the size of users’ libraries of media items (e.g., photos and videos) continues to increase.BRIEF SUMMARY
[0003] [0003] However, as libraries of media items continue to grow, creating an archive of the user’s life and experiences, the libraries can become cumbersome to navigate. For example, many libraries arrange media items by default in a substantially inflexible manner. A user browsing for media can desire to see media that is related to a current context across different time periods. However, some interfaces require the user to navigate to an excessive number of different media directories or interfaces to locate the content that they seek. This is inefficient and a waste of the user’s time and device resources. Accordingly, it is therefore desirable to facilitate presentation of media items in a contextually-relevant way and thereby provide an improved interface for engaging with media content.
[0004] [0004] Further, some techniques for navigating a collection of media items using electronic devices cumbersome and inefficient. For example, some existing techniques use a complex and time-consuming user interface, which may include multiple key presses or keystrokes. Existing techniques require more time and user inputs than necessary, thereby wasting user time and device energy. This latter consideration is particularly important in battery-operated devices.
[0005] [0005] Accordingly, the present technique provides electronic devices with faster, more efficient methods and interfaces for navigating a collection of media items. Such methods and 1

[0036] [0036] Although the following description uses terms “first,” “second,” etc. to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by the terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another. For example, a first touch could be termed a second touch, and, similarly, a second touch could be termed a first touch, without departing from the scope of the various described embodiments. The first touch and the second touch are both touches, but they are not the same touch.
[0037] [0037] The terminology used in the description of the various described embodiments herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used in the description of the various described embodiments and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “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 “includes,” “including,” “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.
[0038] [0038] The term “if” 1s, optionally, 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 12
[0039] [0039] Embodiments of electronic devices, 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. Exemplary embodiments of portable multifunction devices include, without limitation, the iPhone®, iPod Touch®, and iPad® devices from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California. Other portable electronic devices, such as laptops or tablet computers with touch-sensitive surfaces (e.g., touch screen displays and/or touchpads), are, optionally, used. It should also be understood that, in some embodiments, the device is not a portable communications device, but is a desktop computer with a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch screen display and/or a touchpad).
[0040] [0040] In the discussion that follows, an electronic device that includes a display and a touch-sensitive surface is described. It should be understood, however, that the electronic device optionally includes one or more other physical user-interface devices, such as a physical keyboard, a mouse, and/or a joystick.
[0041] [0041] The device typically supports a variety of applications, such as one or more of the following: a drawing application, a presentation application, a word processing application, a website creation application, a disk authoring application, a spreadsheet application, a gaming application, a telephone application, a video conferencing application, an e-mail application, an instant messaging application, a workout support 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.
[0042] [0042] The various applications that are executed on the device optionally use at least one common physical user-interface device, such as the touch-sensitive surface. One or more functions of the touch-sensitive surface as well as corresponding information displayed on the device are, optionally, adjusted and/or varied from one application to the next and/or within a 13
[0043] [0043] Attention is now directed toward embodiments of portable devices with touch- sensitive displays. FIG. 1A is a block diagram illustrating portable multifunction device 100 with touch-sensitive display system 112 in accordance with some embodiments. Touch-sensitive display 112 is sometimes called a “touch screen” for convenience and is sometimes known as or called a “touch-sensitive display system.” Device 100 includes memory 102 (which optionally includes one or more computer-readable storage mediums), memory controller 122, one or more processing units (CPUs) 120, peripherals interface 118, RF circuitry 108, audio circuitry 110, speaker 111, microphone 113, input/output (I/O) subsystem 106, other input control devices 116, and external port 124. Device 100 optionally includes one or more optical sensors 164. Device 100 optionally includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165 for detecting intensity of contacts on device 100 (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface such as touch-sensitive display system 112 of device 100). Device 100 optionally includes one or more tactile output generators 167 for generating tactile outputs on device 100 (e.g., generating tactile outputs on a touch-sensitive surface such as touch-sensitive display system 112 of device 100 or touchpad 355 of device 300). These components optionally communicate over one or more communication buses or signal lines 103.
[0044] [0044] As used in the specification and claims, the term “intensity” of a contact on a touch- sensitive surface refers to the force or pressure (force per unit area) of a contact (e.g., a finger contact) on the touch-sensitive surface, or to a substitute (proxy) for the force or pressure of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface. The intensity of a contact has a range of values that includes at least four distinct values and more typically includes hundreds of distinct values (e.g., at least 256). Intensity of a contact is, optionally, determined (or measured) using various approaches and various sensors or combinations of sensors. For example, one or more force sensors underneath or adjacent to the touch-sensitive surface are, optionally, used to measure force at various points on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, force measurements from multiple force sensors are combined (e.g., a weighted average) to determine 14
[0045] [0045] As used in the specification and claims, the term “tactile output” refers to physical displacement of a device relative to a previous position of the device, physical displacement of a component (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface) of a device relative to another component (e.g, housing) of the device, or displacement of the component relative to a center of mass of the device that will be detected by a user with the user’s sense of touch. For example, in situations where the device or the component of the device is in contact with a surface of a user that is sensitive to touch (e.g., a finger, palm, or other part of a user's hand), the tactile output generated by the physical displacement will be interpreted by the user as a tactile sensation corresponding to a perceived change in physical characteristics of the device or the component of the device. For example, movement of a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch-sensitive display or trackpad) is, optionally, interpreted by the user as a “down click” or “up click” of a physical actuator button. In some cases, a user will feel a tactile sensation such as an “down click” or “up click” even when there is no movement of a physical actuator button associated with the touch-sensitive
[0046] [0046] It should be appreciated that device 100 is only one example of a portable multifunction device, and that device 100 optionally has more or fewer components than shown, optionally combines two or more components, or optionally has a different configuration or arrangement of the components. The various components shown in FIG. 1A are implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of both hardware and software, including one or more signal processing and/or application-specific integrated circuits.
[0047] [0047] Memory 102 optionally includes high-speed random access memory and optionally also includes non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic disk storage devices, flash memory devices, or other non-volatile solid-state memory devices. Memory controller 122 optionally controls access to memory 102 by other components of device 100.
[0048] [0048] Peripherals interface 118 can be used to couple input and output peripherals of the device to CPU 120 and memory 102. The one or more processors 120 run or execute various software programs and/or sets of instructions stored in memory 102 to perform various functions for device 100 and to process data. In some embodiments, peripherals interface 118, CPU 120, and memory controller 122 are, optionally, implemented on a single chip, such as chip 104. In some other embodiments, they are, optionally, implemented on separate chips.
[0049] [0049] RF (radio frequency) circuitry 108 receives and sends RF signals, also called electromagnetic signals. RF circuitry 108 converts electrical signals to/from electromagnetic 16
[0050] [0050] Audio circuitry 110, speaker 111, and microphone 113 provide an audio interface between a user and device 100. Audio circuitry 110 receives audio data from peripherals interface 118, converts the audio data to an electrical signal, and transmits the electrical signal to speaker 111. Speaker 111 converts the electrical signal to human-audible sound waves. Audio circuitry 110 also receives electrical signals converted by microphone 113 from sound waves.
[0051] [0051] I/O subsystem 106 couples input/output peripherals on device 100, such as touch screen 112 and other input control devices 116, to peripherals interface 118. I/O subsystem 106 optionally includes display controller 156, optical sensor controller 158, depth camera controller 169, intensity sensor controller 159, haptic feedback controller 161, and one or more input controllers 160 for other input or control devices. The one or more input controllers 160 receive/send electrical signals from/to other input control devices 116. The other input control devices 116 optionally include physical buttons (e.g., push buttons, rocker buttons, etc.), dials, slider switches, joysticks, click wheels, and so forth. In some alternate embodiments, input controller(s) 160 are, optionally, coupled to any (or none) of the following: a keyboard, an infrared port, a USB port, and a pointer device such as a mouse. The one or more buttons (e.g., 208, FIG. 2) optionally include an up/down button for volume control of speaker 111 and/or microphone 113. The one or more buttons optionally include a push button (e.g., 206, FIG. 2).
[0052] [0052] A quick press of the push button optionally disengages a lock of touch screen 112 or optionally begins a process that uses gestures on the touch screen to unlock the device, as described in U.S. Patent Application 11/322,549, “Unlocking a Device by Performing Gestures on an Unlock Image,” filed December 23, 2005, U.S. Pat. No. 7,657,849, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. A longer press of the push button (e.g., 206) optionally turns power to device 100 on or off. The functionality of one or more of the buttons are, optionally, user-customizable. Touch screen 112 is used to implement virtual or soft buttons and one or more soft keyboards.
[0053] [0053] Touch-sensitive display 112 provides an input interface and an output interface between the device and a user. Display controller 156 receives and/or sends electrical signals 18
[0054] [0054] Touch screen 112 has a touch-sensitive surface, sensor, or set of sensors that accepts input from the user based on haptic and/or tactile contact. Touch screen 112 and display controller 156 (along with any associated modules and/or sets of instructions in memory 102) detect contact (and any movement or breaking of the contact) on touch screen 112 and convert the detected contact into interaction with user-interface objects (e.g., one or more soft keys, icons, web pages, or images) that are displayed on touch screen 112. In an exemplary embodiment, a point of contact between touch screen 112 and the user corresponds to a finger of the user.
[0055] [0055] Touch screen 112 optionally uses LCD (liquid crystal display) technology, LPD (light emitting polymer display) technology, or LED (light emitting diode) technology, although other display technologies are used in other embodiments. Touch screen 112 and display controller 156 optionally detect contact and any movement or breaking thereof using any of a plurality of touch sensing technologies now known or later developed, including but not limited to capacitive, resistive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave technologies, as well as other proximity sensor arrays or other elements for determining one or more points of contact with touch screen
[0056] [0056] A touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of touch screen 112 is, optionally, analogous to the multi-touch sensitive touchpads described in the following U.S. Patents: 6,323,846 (Westerman et al.), 6,570,557 (Westerman et al.), and/or 6,677,932 (Westerman), and/or U.S. Patent Publication 2002/0015024A1, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. However, touch screen 112 displays visual output from device 100, whereas touch-sensitive touchpads do not provide visual output.
[0057] [0057] A touch-sensitive display in some embodiments of touch screen 112 is described in the following applications: (1) U.S. Patent Application No. 11/381,313, “Multipoint Touch Surface Controller,” filed May 2, 2006; (2) U.S. Patent Application No. 10/840,862, “Multipoint Touchscreen,” filed May 6, 2004; (3) U.S. Patent Application No. 10/903,964, “Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices,” filed July 30, 2004; (4) U.S. Patent Application No. 11/048,264, “Gestures For Touch Sensitive Input Devices,” filed January 31, 2005; (5) U.S. Patent Application No. 11/038,590, “Mode-Based Graphical User Interfaces For Touch Sensitive Input Devices,” filed January 18, 2005; (6) U.S. Patent Application No. 11/228,758, “Virtual Input Device Placement On A Touch Screen User Interface,” filed September 16, 2005; (7) U.S. Patent Application No. 11/228,700, “Operation Of A Computer With A Touch Screen Interface,” filed September 16, 2005; (8) U.S. Patent Application No. 11/228,737, “Activating Virtual Keys Of A Touch-Screen Virtual Keyboard,” filed September 16, 2005; and (9) U.S. Patent Application No. 11/367,749, “Multi-Functional Hand-Held Device,” filed March 3, 2006. All of these applications are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.
[0058] [0058] Touch screen 112 optionally has a video resolution in excess of 100 dpi. In some embodiments, the touch screen has a video resolution of approximately 160 dpi. The user optionally makes contact with touch screen 112 using any suitable object or appendage, such as a stylus, a finger, and so forth. In some embodiments, the user interface is designed to work primarily with finger-based contacts and gestures, which can be less precise than stylus-based input due to the larger area of contact of a finger on the touch screen. In some embodiments, the device translates the rough finger-based input into a precise pointer/cursor position or command for performing the actions desired by the user.
[0059] [0059] In some embodiments, in addition to the touch screen, device 100 optionally includes a touchpad for activating or deactivating particular functions. In some embodiments, the touchpad is a touch-sensitive area of the device that, unlike the touch screen, does not display visual output.

In some embodiments, an optical sensor is located on the back of device 100, opposite touch screen display 112 on the front of the device so that the touch screen display is enabled for use as a viewfinder for still and/or video image acquisition. In some embodiments, an optical sensor is located on the front of the device so that the user's image is, optionally, obtained for video conferencing while the user views the other video conference participants on the touch screen display. In some embodiments, the position of optical sensor 164 can be changed by the user (e.g., by rotating the lens and the sensor in the device housing) so that a single optical sensor 164 is used along with the touch screen display for both video conferencing and still and/or video image acquisition.
[0062] [0062] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more depth camera sensors 175. FIG. 1A shows a depth camera sensor coupled to depth camera controller 169 in I/O subsystem 106. Depth camera sensor 175 receives data from the environment to create a three dimensional model of an object (e.g., a face) within a scene from a viewpoint (e.g., a depth camera sensor). In some embodiments, in conjunction with imaging module 143 (also called a camera module), depth camera sensor 175 is optionally used to determine a depth map of different portions of an image captured by the imaging module 143. In some embodiments, a depth camera sensor is located on the front of device 100 so that the user’s image with depth information is, optionally, obtained for video conferencing while the user views the other video conference participants on the touch screen display and to capture selfies with depth map data.

Contact intensity sensor 165 receives contact intensity information (e.g., pressure information or a proxy for pressure information) from the environment. In some embodiments, at least one contact intensity sensor is collocated with, or proximate to, a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touch- sensitive display system 112). In some embodiments, at least one contact intensity sensor is located on the back of device 100, opposite touch screen display 112, which is located on the front of device 100.
[0064] [0064] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more proximity sensors 166. FIG. 1A shows proximity sensor 166 coupled to peripherals interface 118.

In some embodiments, the proximity sensor turns off and disables touch screen 112 when the multifunction device is placed near the user's ear (e.g., when the user is making a phone call).
[0065] [0065] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more tactile output generators 167. FIG. 1A shows a tactile output generator coupled to haptic feedback controller 161 in I/O subsystem 106. Tactile output generator 167 optionally includes one or more electroacoustic devices such as speakers or other audio components and/or electromechanical devices that convert energy into linear motion such as a motor, solenoid, electroactive polymer, piezoelectric actuator, electrostatic actuator, or other tactile output generating component (e.g., a component that converts electrical signals into tactile outputs on the device). Contact intensity sensor 165 receives tactile feedback generation instructions from haptic feedback module 133 and generates tactile outputs on device 100 that are capable of being sensed by a user of device 100. In some embodiments, at least one tactile output generator is collocated with, or proximate to, a touch- sensitive surface (e.g., touch-sensitive display system 112) and, optionally, generates a tactile output by moving the touch-sensitive surface vertically (e.g., in/out of a surface of device 100) or laterally (e.g., back and forth in the same plane as a surface of device 100). In some embodiments, at least one tactile output generator sensor is located on the back of device 100, opposite touch screen display 112, which is located on the front of device 100.
[0066] [0066] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more accelerometers 168. FIG. 1A shows accelerometer 168 coupled to peripherals interface 118. Alternately, accelerometer 168 is, optionally, coupled to an input controller 160 in I/O subsystem 106. Accelerometer 168 optionally performs as described in U.S. Patent Publication No. 20050190059, "Acceleration- based Theft Detection System for Portable Electronic Devices,” and U.S. Patent Publication No. 20060017692, “Methods And Apparatuses For Operating A Portable Device Based On An Accelerometer,” both of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety. In some embodiments, information is displayed on the touch screen display in a portrait view or a landscape view based on an analysis of data received from the one or more accelerometers. Device 100 optionally includes, in addition to accelerometer(s) 168, a magnetometer and a GPS (or GLONASS or other global navigation system) receiver for obtaining information concerning the location and orientation (e.g., portrait or landscape) of device 100.
[0067] [0067] In some embodiments, the software components stored in memory 102 include operating system 126, communication module (or set of instructions) 128, contact/motion 23
[0068] [0068] Operating system 126 (e.g., Darwin, RTXC, LINUX, UNIX, OS X, iOS, WINDOWS, or an embedded operating system such as VxWorks) includes various software components and/or drivers for controlling and managing general system tasks (e.g., memory management, storage device control, power management, etc.) and facilitates communication between various hardware and software components.
[0069] [0069] Communication module 128 facilitates communication with other devices over one or more external ports 124 and also includes various software components for handling data received by RF circuitry 108 and/or external port 124. External port 124 (e.g., Universal Serial Bus (USB), FIREWIRE, etc.) is adapted for coupling directly to other devices or indirectly over a network (e.g., the Internet, wireless LAN, etc.). In some embodiments, the external port is a multi-pin (e.g., 30-pin) connector that is the same as, or similar to and/or compatible with, the 30-pin connector used on iPod® (trademark of Apple Inc.) devices.
[0070] [0070] Contact/motion module 130 optionally detects contact with touch screen 112 (in conjunction with display controller 156) and other touch-sensitive devices (e.g., a touchpad or physical click wheel). Contact/motion module 130 includes various software components for performing various operations related to detection of contact, such as determining if contact has occurred (e.g., detecting a finger-down event), determining an intensity of the contact (e.g., the force or pressure of the contact or a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact), determining if there is movement of the contact and tracking the movement across the touch- 24
[0071] [0071] In some embodiments, contact/motion module 130 uses a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an operation has been performed by a user (e.g., to determine whether a user has “clicked” on an icon). In some embodiments, at least a subset of the intensity thresholds are determined in accordance with software parameters (e.g., the intensity thresholds are not determined by the activation thresholds of particular physical actuators and can be adjusted without changing the physical hardware of device 100). For example, a mouse “click” threshold of a trackpad or touch screen display can be set to any of a large range of predefined threshold values without changing the trackpad or touch screen display hardware. Additionally, in some implementations, a user of the device is provided with software settings for adjusting one or more of the set of intensity thresholds (e.g., by adjusting individual intensity thresholds and/or by adjusting a plurality of intensity thresholds at once with a system-level click “intensity” parameter).
[0072] [0072] Contact/motion module 130 optionally detects a gesture input by a user. Different gestures on the touch-sensitive surface have different contact patterns (e.g., different motions, timings, and/or intensities of detected contacts). Thus, a gesture is, optionally, detected by detecting a particular contact pattern. For example, detecting a finger tap gesture includes detecting a finger-down event followed by detecting a finger-up (liftoff) event at the same position (or substantially the same position) as the finger-down event (e.g., at the position of an icon). As another example, detecting a finger swipe gesture on the touch-sensitive surface
[0073] [0073] Graphics module 132 includes various known software components for rendering and displaying graphics on touch screen 112 or other display, including components for changing the visual impact (e.g., brightness, transparency, saturation, contrast, or other visual property) of graphics that are displayed. As used herein, the term “graphics” includes any object that can be displayed to a user, including, without limitation, text, web pages, icons (such as user-interface objects including soft keys), digital images, videos, animations, and the like.
[0074] [0074] In some embodiments, graphics module 132 stores data representing graphics to be used. Each graphic is, optionally, assigned a corresponding code. Graphics module 132 receives, from applications etc., one or more codes specifying graphics to be displayed along with, if necessary, coordinate data and other graphic property data, and then generates screen image data to output to display controller 156.
[0075] [0075] Haptic feedback module 133 includes various software components for generating instructions used by tactile output generator(s) 167 to produce tactile outputs at one or more locations on device 100 in response to user interactions with device 100.
[0076] [0076] Text input module 134, which is, optionally, a component of graphics module 132, provides soft keyboards for entering text in various applications (e.g., contacts 137, e-mail 140, IM 141, browser 147, and any other application that needs text input).
[0077] [0077] GPS module 135 determines the location of the device and provides this information for use in various applications (e.g., to telephone 138 for use in location-based dialing; to camera 143 as picture/video metadata; and to applications that provide location-based services such as weather widgets, local yellow page widgets, and map/navigation widgets).

Additional description of the online video application can be found in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/936,562, “Portable Multifunction Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Playing Online Videos,” filed June 20, 2007, and U.S. Patent Application No. 11/968,067, “Portable Multifunction Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Playing Online Videos,” filed December 31, 2007, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
[0097] [0097] Each of the above-identified modules and applications corresponds to a set of executable instructions for performing one or more functions described above and the methods described in this application (e.g., the computer-implemented methods and other information processing methods described herein). These modules (e.g., sets of instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs, procedures, or modules, and thus various subsets of these modules are, optionally, combined or otherwise rearranged in various embodiments. For example, video player module is, optionally, combined with music player module into a single module (e.g., video and music player module 152, FIG. 1A). In some embodiments, memory 102 optionally stores a subset of the modules and data structures identified above. Furthermore, memory 102 optionally stores additional modules and data structures not described above.
[0098] [0098] In some embodiments, device 100 is a device where operation of a predefined set of functions on the device is performed exclusively through a touch screen and/or a touchpad. By using a touch screen and/or a touchpad as the primary input control device for operation of 32
[0099] [0099] The predefined set of functions that are performed exclusively through a touch screen and/or a touchpad optionally include navigation between user interfaces. In some embodiments, the touchpad, when touched by the user, navigates device 100 to a main, home, or root menu from any user interface that is displayed on device 100. In such embodiments, a “menu button” is implemented using a touchpad. In some other embodiments, the menu button is a physical push button or other physical input control device instead of a touchpad.
[0100] [0100] FIG. 1B is a block diagram illustrating exemplary components for event handling in accordance with some embodiments. In some embodiments, memory 102 (FIG. 1A) or 370 (FIG. 3) includes event sorter 170 (e.g., in operating system 126) and a respective application 136-1 (e.g., any of the aforementioned applications 137-151, 155, 380-390).
[0101] [0101] Event sorter 170 receives event information and determines the application 136-1 and application view 191 of application 136-1 to which to deliver the event information. Event sorter 170 includes event monitor 171 and event dispatcher module 174. In some embodiments, application 136-1 includes application internal state 192, which indicates the current application view(s) displayed on touch-sensitive display 112 when the application is active or executing. In some embodiments, device/global internal state 157 is used by event sorter 170 to determine which application(s) is (are) currently active, and application internal state 192 is used by event sorter 170 to determine application views 191 to which to deliver event information.
[0102] [0102] In some embodiments, application internal state 192 includes additional information, such as one or more of: resume information to be used when application 136-1 resumes execution, user interface state information that indicates information being displayed or that is ready for display by application 136-1, a state queue for enabling the user to go back to a prior state or view of application 136-1, and a redo/undo queue of previous actions taken by the user.
[0103] [0103] Event monitor 171 receives event information from peripherals interface 118. Event information includes information about a sub-event (e.g., a user touch on touch-sensitive display 33
[0104] [0104] In some embodiments, event monitor 171 sends requests to the peripherals interface 118 at predetermined intervals. In response, peripherals interface 118 transmits event information. In other embodiments, peripherals interface 118 transmits event information only when there is a significant event (e.g., receiving an input above a predetermined noise threshold and/or for more than a predetermined duration).
[0105] [0105] In some embodiments, event sorter 170 also includes a hit view determination module 172 and/or an active event recognizer determination module 173.
[0106] [0106] Hit view determination module 172 provides software procedures for determining where a sub-event has taken place within one or more views when touch-sensitive display 112 displays more than one view. Views are made up of controls and other elements that a user can see on the display.
[0107] [0107] Another aspect of the user interface associated with an application is a set of views, sometimes herein called application views or user interface windows, in which information 1s displayed and touch-based gestures occur. The application views (of a respective application) in which a touch is detected optionally correspond to programmatic levels within a programmatic or view hierarchy of the application. For example, the lowest level view in which a touch is detected is, optionally, called the hit view, and the set of events that are recognized as proper inputs are, optionally, determined based, at least in part, on the hit view of the initial touch that begins a touch-based gesture.
[0108] [0108] Hit view determination module 172 receives information related to sub-events of a touch-based gesture. When an application has multiple views organized in a hierarchy, hit view determination module 172 identifies a hit view as the lowest view in the hierarchy which should 34
[0109] [0109] Active event recognizer determination module 173 determines which view or views within a view hierarchy should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In some embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that only the hit view should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that all views that include the physical location of a sub-event are actively involved views, and therefore determines that all actively involved views should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, even if touch sub-events were entirely confined to the area associated with one particular view, views higher in the hierarchy would still remain as actively involved views.
[0110] [0110] Event dispatcher module 174 dispatches the event information to an event recognizer (e.g., event recognizer 180). In embodiments including active event recognizer determination module 173, event dispatcher module 174 delivers the event information to an event recognizer determined by active event recognizer determination module 173. In some embodiments, event dispatcher module 174 stores in an event queue the event information, which is retrieved by a respective event receiver 182.
[0111] [0111] In some embodiments, operating system 126 includes event sorter 170. Alternatively, application 136-1 includes event sorter 170. In yet other embodiments, event sorter 170 is a stand-alone module, or a part of another module stored in memory 102, such as contact/motion module 130.
[0112] [0112] In some embodiments, application 136-1 includes a plurality of event handlers 190 and one or more application views 191, each of which includes instructions for handling touch events that occur within a respective view of the application’s user interface. Each application view 191 of the application 136-1 includes one or more event recognizers 180. Typically, a
[0113] [0113] A respective event recognizer 180 receives event information (e.g., event data 179) from event sorter 170 and identifies an event from the event information. Event recognizer 180 includes event receiver 182 and event comparator 184. In some embodiments, event recognizer 180 also includes at least a subset of: metadata 183, and event delivery instructions 188 (which optionally include sub-event delivery instructions).
[0114] [0114] Event receiver 182 receives event information from event sorter 170. The event information includes information about a sub-event, for example, a touch or a touch movement. Depending on the sub-event, the event information also includes additional information, such as location of the sub-event. When the sub-event concerns motion of a touch, the event information optionally also includes speed and direction of the sub-event. In some embodiments, events include rotation of the device from one orientation to another (e.g., from a portrait orientation to a landscape orientation, or vice versa), and the event information includes corresponding information about the current orientation (also called device attitude) of the device.
[0115] [0115] Event comparator 184 compares the event information to predefined event or sub- event definitions and, based on the comparison, determines an event or sub-event, or determines or updates the state of an event or sub-event. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 includes event definitions 186. Event definitions 186 contain definitions of events (e.g., predefined sequences of sub-events), for example, event 1 (187-1), event 2 (187-2), and others. In some embodiments, sub-events in an event (187) include, for example, touch begin, touch 36
[0116] [0116] In some embodiments, event definition 187 includes a definition of an event for a respective user-interface object. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which user-interface object is associated with a sub-event. For example, in an application view in which three user-interface objects are displayed on touch-sensitive display 112, when a touch is detected on touch-sensitive display 112, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which of the three user-interface objects is associated with the touch (sub- event). If each displayed object is associated with a respective event handler 190, the event comparator uses the result of the hit test to determine which event handler 190 should be activated. For example, event comparator 184 selects an event handler associated with the sub- event and the object triggering the hit test.
[0117] [0117] In some embodiments, the definition for a respective event (187) also includes delayed actions that delay delivery of the event information until after it has been determined whether the sequence of sub-events does or does not correspond to the event recognizer’s event type.
[0118] [0118] When a respective event recognizer 180 determines that the series of sub-events do not match any of the events in event definitions 186, the respective event recognizer 180 enters an event impossible, event failed, or event ended state, after which it disregards subsequent sub- events of the touch-based gesture. In this situation, other event recognizers, if any, that remain 37
[0119] [0119] In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer 180 includes metadata 183 with configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how the event delivery system should perform sub-event delivery to actively involved event recognizers. In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how event recognizers interact, or are enabled to interact, with one another. In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate whether sub- events are delivered to varying levels in the view or programmatic hierarchy.
[0120] [0120] In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer 180 activates event handler 190 associated with an event when one or more particular sub-events of an event are recognized. In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer 180 delivers event information associated with the event to event handler 190. Activating an event handler 190 is distinct from sending (and deferred sending) sub-events to a respective hit view. In some embodiments, event recognizer 180 throws a flag associated with the recognized event, and event handler 190 associated with the flag catches the flag and performs a predefined process.
[0121] [0121] In some embodiments, event delivery instructions 188 include sub-event delivery instructions that deliver event information about a sub-event without activating an event handler. Instead, the sub-event delivery instructions deliver event information to event handlers associated with the series of sub-events or to actively involved views. Event handlers associated with the series of sub-events or with actively involved views receive the event information and perform a predetermined process.
[0122] [0122] In some embodiments, data updater 176 creates and updates data used in application 136-1. For example, data updater 176 updates the telephone number used in contacts module 137, or stores a video file used in video player module. In some embodiments, object updater 177 creates and updates objects used in application 136-1. For example, object updater 177 creates a new user-interface object or updates the position of a user-interface object. GUI 38
[0123] [0123] In some embodiments, event handler(s) 190 includes or has access to data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178. In some embodiments, data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178 are included in a single module of a respective application 136-1 or application view 191. In other embodiments, they are included in two or more software modules.
[0124] [0124] It shall be understood that the foregoing discussion regarding event handling of user touches on touch-sensitive displays also applies to other forms of user inputs to operate multifunction devices 100 with input devices, not all of which are initiated on touch screens. For example, mouse movement and mouse button presses, optionally coordinated with single or multiple keyboard presses or holds; contact movements such as taps, drags, scrolls, etc. on touchpads; pen stylus inputs; movement of the device; oral instructions; detected eye movements; biometric inputs; and/or any combination thereof are optionally utilized as inputs corresponding to sub-events which define an event to be recognized.
[0125] [0125] FIG. 2 illustrates a portable multifunction device 100 having a touch screen 112 in accordance with some embodiments. The touch screen optionally displays one or more graphics within user interface (UI) 200. In this embodiment, as well as others described below, a user is enabled to select one or more of the graphics by making a gesture on the graphics, for example, with one or more fingers 202 (not drawn to scale in the figure) or one or more styluses 203 (not drawn to scale in the figure). In some embodiments, selection of one or more graphics occurs when the user breaks contact with the one or more graphics. In some embodiments, the gesture optionally includes one or more taps, one or more swipes (from left to right, right to left, upward and/or downward), and/or a rolling of a finger (from right to left, left to right, upward and/or downward) that has made contact with device 100. In some implementations or circumstances, inadvertent contact with a graphic does not select the graphic. For example, a swipe gesture that sweeps over an application icon optionally does not select the corresponding application when the gesture corresponding to selection is a tap.
[0126] [0126] Device 100 optionally also include one or more physical buttons, such as “home” or menu button 204. As described previously, menu button 204 is, optionally, used to navigate to any application 136 in a set of applications that are, optionally, executed on device 100. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the menu button is implemented as a soft key in a GUI displayed on touch screen 112.
[0127] [0127] In some embodiments, device 100 includes touch screen 112, menu button 204, push button 206 for powering the device on/off and locking the device, volume adjustment button(s) 208, subscriber identity module (SIM) card slot 210, headset jack 212, and docking/charging external port 124. Push button 206 is, optionally, used to turn the power on/off on the device by depressing the button and holding the button in the depressed state for a predefined time interval; to lock the device by depressing the button and releasing the button before the predefined time interval has elapsed; and/or to unlock the device or initiate an unlock process. In an alternative embodiment, device 100 also accepts verbal input for activation or deactivation of some functions through microphone 113. Device 100 also, optionally, includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165 for detecting intensity of contacts on touch screen 112 and/or one or more tactile output generators 167 for generating tactile outputs for a user of device 100.
[0128] [0128] FIG. 3 is a block diagram of an exemplary multifunction device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface in accordance with some embodiments. Device 300 need not be portable. In some embodiments, device 300 is a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a tablet computer, a multimedia player device, a navigation device, an educational device (such as a child’s learning toy), a gaming system, or a control device (e.g., a home or industrial controller). Device 300 typically includes one or more processing units (CPUs) 310, one or more network or other communications interfaces 360, memory 370, and one or more communication buses 320 for interconnecting these components. Communication buses 320 optionally include circuitry (sometimes called a chipset) that interconnects and controls communications between system components. Device 300 includes input/output (I/O) interface 330 comprising display 340, which is typically a touch screen display. I/O interface 330 also optionally includes a keyboard and/or mouse (or other pointing device) 350 and touchpad 355, tactile output generator 357 for generating tactile outputs on device 300 (e.g., similar to tactile output generator(s) 167 described 40
[0129] [0129] Each of the above-identified elements in FIG. 3 is, optionally, stored in one or more of the previously mentioned memory devices. Each of the above-identified modules corresponds to a set of instructions for performing a function described above. The above-identified modules or programs (e.g., sets of instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs, procedures, or modules, and thus various subsets of these modules are, optionally, combined or otherwise rearranged in various embodiments. In some embodiments, memory 370 optionally stores a subset of the modules and data structures identified above. Furthermore, memory 370 optionally stores additional modules and data structures not described above.
[0130] [0130] Attention 1s now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces that are, optionally, implemented on, for example, portable multifunction device 100.
[0131] [0131] FIG. 4A illustrates an exemplary user interface for a menu of applications on portable multifunction device 100 in accordance with some embodiments. Similar user interfaces are, optionally, implemented on device 300. In some embodiments, user interface 400 includes the following elements, or a subset or superset thereof 41
[0132] [0132] It should be noted that the icon labels illustrated in FIG. 4A are merely exemplary. For example, icon 422 for video and music player module 152 is labeled “Music” or “Music Player.” Other labels are, optionally, used for various application icons. In some embodiments, a label for a respective application icon includes a name of an application corresponding to the respective application icon. In some embodiments, a label for a particular application icon is distinct from a name of an application corresponding to the particular application icon.
[0133] [0133] FIG. 4B illustrates an exemplary user interface on a device (e.g., device 300, FIG. 3) with a touch-sensitive surface 451 (e.g., a tablet or touchpad 355, FIG. 3) that is separate from the display 450 (e.g., touch screen display 112). Device 300 also, optionally, includes one or more contact intensity sensors (e.g., one or more of sensors 359) for detecting intensity of contacts on touch-sensitive surface 451 and/or one or more tactile output generators 357 for generating tactile outputs for a user of device 300.
[0134] [0134] Although some of the examples that follow will be given with reference to inputs on touch screen display 112 (where the touch-sensitive surface and the display are combined), in some embodiments, the device detects inputs on a touch-sensitive surface that is separate from the display, as shown in FIG. 4B. In some embodiments, the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., 451 in FIG. 4B) has a primary axis (e.g., 452 in FIG. 4B) that corresponds to a primary axis (e.g., 453 in FIG. 4B) on the display (e.g., 450). In accordance with these embodiments, the device detects contacts (e.g., 460 and 462 in FIG. 4B) with the touch-sensitive surface 451 at locations that correspond to respective locations on the display (e.g., in FIG. 4B, 460 corresponds to 468 and 462 corresponds to 470). In this way, user inputs (e.g., contacts 460 and 462, and movements thereof) detected by the device on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., 451 in FIG. 4B) are used by the device to manipulate the user interface on the display (e.g., 450 in FIG. 4B) of the 43
[0135] [0135] Additionally, while the following examples are given primarily with reference to finger inputs (e.g., finger contacts, finger tap gestures, finger swipe gestures), it should be understood that, in some embodiments, one or more of the finger inputs are replaced with input from another input device (e.g., a mouse-based input or stylus input). For example, a swipe gesture is, optionally, replaced with a mouse click (e.g., instead of a contact) followed by movement of the cursor along the path of the swipe (e.g., instead of movement of the contact). As another example, a tap gesture is, optionally, replaced with a mouse click while the cursor is located over the location of the tap gesture (e.g., instead of detection of the contact followed by ceasing to detect the contact). Similarly, when multiple user inputs are simultaneously detected, it should be understood that multiple computer mice are, optionally, used simultaneously, or a mouse and finger contacts are, optionally, used simultaneously.
[0136] [0136] FIG. 5A illustrates exemplary personal electronic device 500. Device 500 includes body 502. In some embodiments, device 500 can include some or all of the features described with respect to devices 100 and 300 (e.g., FIGS. 1A-4B). In some embodiments, device 500 has touch-sensitive display screen 504, hereafter touch screen 504. Alternatively, or in addition to touch screen 504, device 500 has a display and a touch-sensitive surface. As with devices 100 and 300, in some embodiments, touch screen 504 (or the touch-sensitive surface) optionally includes one or more intensity sensors for detecting intensity of contacts (e.g., touches) being applied. The one or more intensity sensors of touch screen 504 (or the touch-sensitive surface) can provide output data that represents the intensity of touches. The user interface of device 500 can respond to touches based on their intensity, meaning that touches of different intensities can invoke different user interface operations on device 500.
[0137] [0137] Exemplary techniques for detecting and processing touch intensity are found, for example, in related applications: International Patent Application Serial No. PCT/US2013/040061, titled "Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Displaying User Interface Objects Corresponding to an Application,” filed May 8, 2013, published as WIPO Publication No. WO/2013/169849, and International Patent Application Serial No.
[0138] [0138] In some embodiments, device 500 has one or more input mechanisms 506 and 508. Input mechanisms 506 and 508, if included, can be physical. Examples of physical input mechanisms include push buttons and rotatable mechanisms. In some embodiments, device 500 has one or more attachment mechanisms. Such attachment mechanisms, if included, can permit attachment of device 500 with, for example, hats, eyewear, earrings, necklaces, shirts, jackets, bracelets, watch straps, chains, trousers, belts, shoes, purses, backpacks, and so forth. These attachment mechanisms permit device 500 to be worn by a user.
[0139] [0139] FIG. 5B depicts exemplary personal electronic device 500. In some embodiments, device 500 can include some or all of the components described with respect to FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 3. Device 500 has bus 512 that operatively couples I/O section 514 with one or more computer processors 516 and memory 518. I/O section 514 can be connected to display 504, which can have touch-sensitive component 522 and, optionally, intensity sensor 524 (e.g., contact intensity sensor). In addition, I/O section 514 can be connected with communication unit 530 for receiving application and operating system data, using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, near field communication (NFC), cellular, and/or other wireless communication techniques. Device 500 can include input mechanisms 506 and/or 508. Input mechanism 506 is, optionally, a rotatable input device or a depressible and rotatable input device, for example. Input mechanism 508 is, optionally, a button, in some examples.
[0140] [0140] Input mechanism 508 is, optionally, a microphone, in some examples. Personal electronic device 500 optionally includes various sensors, such as GPS sensor 532, accelerometer 534, directional sensor 540 (e.g., compass), gyroscope 536, motion sensor 538, and/or a combination thereof, all of which can be operatively connected to I/O section 514.
[0141] [0141] Memory 518 of personal electronic device 500 can include one or more non- transitory computer-readable storage mediums, for storing computer-executable instructions, 45
[0142] [0142] As used here, the term "affordance” refers to a user-interactive graphical user interface object that is, optionally, displayed on the display screen of devices 100, 300, and/or 500 (FIGS. 1A, 3, and 5A-5B). For example, an image (e.g., icon), a button, and text (e.g., hyperlink) each optionally constitute an affordance.
[0143] [0143] As used herein, the term “focus selector” refers to an input element that indicates a current part of a user interface with which a user is interacting. In some implementations that include a cursor or other location marker, the cursor acts as a “focus selector” so that when an input (e.g., a press input) is detected on a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touchpad 355 in FIG. 3 or touch-sensitive surface 451 in FIG. 4B) while the cursor is over a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider, or other user interface element), the particular user interface element is adjusted in accordance with the detected input. In some implementations that include a touch screen display (e.g., touch-sensitive display system 112 in FIG. 1A or touch screen 112 in FIG. 4A) that enables direct interaction with user interface elements on the touch screen display, a detected contact on the touch screen acts as a “focus selector” so that when an input (e.g., a press input by the contact) is detected on the touch screen display at a location of a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider, or other user interface element), the particular user interface element is adjusted in accordance with the detected input. In some 46
[0144] [0144] As used in the specification and claims, the term “characteristic intensity” of a contact refers to a characteristic of the contact based on one or more intensities of the contact. In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is based on multiple intensity samples. The characteristic intensity is, optionally, based on a predefined number of intensity samples, or a set of intensity samples collected during a predetermined time period (e.g., 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10 seconds) relative to a predefined event (e.g., after detecting the contact, prior to detecting liftoff of the contact, before or after detecting a start of movement of the contact, prior to detecting an end of the contact, before or after detecting an increase in intensity of the contact, and/or before or after detecting a decrease in intensity of the contact). A characteristic intensity of a contact is, optionally, based on one or more of: a maximum value of the intensities of the contact, a mean value of the intensities of the contact, an average value of the intensities of the contact, a top 10 percentile value of the intensities of the contact, a value at the half maximum of the intensities of the contact, a value at the 90 percent maximum of the intensities of the contact, or the like. In some embodiments, the duration of the contact is used in determining the characteristic intensity (e.g., when the characteristic intensity is an average of the intensity of the contact over time). In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is compared to a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an operation has been performed by a user.
[0145] [0145] FIG. 5C illustrates detecting a plurality of contacts 552A-552E on touch-sensitive display screen 504 with a plurality of intensity sensors 524A-524D. FIG. 5C additionally includes intensity diagrams that show the current intensity measurements of the intensity sensors 524 A-524D relative to units of intensity. In this example, the intensity measurements of intensity sensors 524A and 524D are each 9 units of intensity, and the intensity measurements of intensity sensors 524B and 524C are each 7 units of intensity. In some implementations, an aggregate intensity is the sum of the intensity measurements of the plurality of intensity sensors 524 A-524D, which in this example is 32 intensity units. In some embodiments, each contact is assigned a respective intensity that is a portion of the aggregate intensity. FIG. 5D illustrates assigning the aggregate intensity to contacts 552A-552E based on their distance from the center of force 554. In this example, each of contacts 552A, 552B, and S52E are assigned an intensity of contact of 8 intensity units of the aggregate intensity, and each of contacts 552C and 552D are assigned an intensity of contact of 4 intensity units of the aggregate intensity. More generally, in some implementations, each contact j is assigned a respective intensity Ij that is a portion of the aggregate intensity, A, in accordance with a predefined mathematical function, Ij = A-(Dj/ZD1), where Dj is the distance of the respective contact j to the center of force, and XDi is the sum of the distances of all the respective contacts (e.g., i=1 to last) to the center of force. The operations described with reference to FIGS. SC-5D can be performed using an electronic device similar or identical to device 100, 300, or 500. In some embodiments, a characteristic intensity of a contact is based on one or more intensities of the contact. In some embodiments, the intensity sensors 48
[0146] [0146] In some embodiments, a portion of a gesture is identified for purposes of determining a characteristic intensity. For example, a touch-sensitive surface optionally receives a continuous swipe contact transitioning from a start location and reaching an end location, at which point the intensity of the contact increases. In this example, the characteristic intensity of the contact at the end location is, optionally, based on only a portion of the continuous swipe contact, and not the entire swipe contact (e.g., only the portion of the swipe contact at the end location). In some embodiments, a smoothing algorithm is, optionally, applied to the intensities of the swipe contact prior to determining the characteristic intensity of the contact. For example, the smoothing algorithm optionally includes one or more of: an unweighted sliding-average smoothing algorithm, a triangular smoothing algorithm, a median filter smoothing algorithm, and/or an exponential smoothing algorithm. In some circumstances, these smoothing algorithms eliminate narrow spikes or dips in the intensities of the swipe contact for purposes of determining a characteristic intensity.
[0147] [0147] The intensity of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface is, optionally, characterized relative to one or more intensity thresholds, such as a contact-detection intensity threshold, a light press intensity threshold, a deep press intensity threshold, and/or one or more other intensity thresholds. In some embodiments, the light press intensity threshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device will perform operations typically associated with clicking a button of a physical mouse or a trackpad. In some embodiments, the deep press intensity threshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device will perform operations that are different from operations typically associated with clicking a button of a physical mouse or a trackpad. In some embodiments, when a contact is detected with a characteristic intensity below the light press intensity threshold (e.g., and above a nominal contact-detection intensity threshold below which the contact is no longer detected), the device will move a focus selector in accordance with movement of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface without performing an operation associated with the light press intensity threshold or the deep press intensity threshold.
[0148] [0148] An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the light press intensity threshold to an intensity between the light press intensity threshold and the deep press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as a “light press” input. An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the deep press intensity threshold to an intensity above the deep press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as a “deep press” input. An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the contact- detection intensity threshold to an intensity between the contact-detection intensity threshold and the light press intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as detecting the contact on the touch- surface. A decrease of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity above the contact- detection intensity threshold to an intensity below the contact-detection intensity threshold is sometimes referred to as detecting liftoff of the contact from the touch-surface. In some embodiments, the contact-detection intensity threshold is zero. In some embodiments, the contact-detection intensity threshold is greater than zero.
[0149] [0149] In some embodiments described herein, one or more operations are performed in response to detecting a gesture that includes a respective press input or in response to detecting the respective press input performed with a respective contact (or a plurality of contacts), where the respective press input is detected based at least in part on detecting an increase in intensity of the contact (or plurality of contacts) above a press-input intensity threshold. In some embodiments, the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold (e.g., a “down stroke” of the respective press input). In some embodiments, the press input includes an increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold and a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact below the press-input intensity threshold, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the subsequent decrease in intensity of the respective contact below the press-input threshold (e.g., an “up stroke” of the respective press input).
[0150] [0150] FIGS. 5E-5H illustrate detection of a gesture that includes a press input that corresponds to an increase in intensity of a contact 562 from an intensity below a light press intensity threshold (e.g., “ITL”) in FIG. SE, to an intensity above a deep press intensity threshold (e.g., “ITp”) in FIG. SH. The gesture performed with contact 562 is detected on touch-sensitive surface 560 while cursor 576 is displayed over application icon 572B corresponding to App 2, on a displayed user interface 570 that includes application icons 572A-572D displayed in predefined region 574. In some embodiments, the gesture is detected on touch-sensitive display 504. The intensity sensors detect the intensity of contacts on touch-sensitive surface 560. The device determines that the intensity of contact 562 peaked above the deep press intensity threshold (e.g, “ITp”). Contact 562 is maintained on touch-sensitive surface 560. In response to the detection of the gesture, and in accordance with contact 562 having an intensity that goes above the deep press intensity threshold (e.g., “ITp”) during the gesture, reduced-scale representations 578A- 578C (e.g., thumbnails) of recently opened documents for App 2 are displayed, as shown in FIGS. 5F-5H. In some embodiments, the intensity, which is compared to the one or more intensity thresholds, is the characteristic intensity of a contact. It should be noted that the intensity diagram for contact 562 is not part of a displayed user interface, but is included in FIGS. SE-5H to aid the reader.
[0151] [0151] In some embodiments, the display of representations 578 A-578C includes an animation. For example, representation S78A is initially displayed in proximity of application icon 572B, as shown in FIG. SF. As the animation proceeds, representation 578A moves upward and representation 578B is displayed in proximity of application icon 572B, as shown in FIG. 5G. Then, representations S78 A moves upward, 578B moves upward toward representation 578A, and representation 578C is displayed in proximity of application icon 572B, as shown in FIG. SH. Representations 578A-578C form an array above icon 572B. In some embodiments, the animation progresses in accordance with an intensity of contact 562, as shown in FIGS. SF- SG, where the representations 578A-578C appear and move upwards as the intensity of contact 562 increases toward the deep press intensity threshold (e.g., “ITp”). In some embodiments, the intensity, on which the progress of the animation is based, is the characteristic intensity of the contact. The operations described with reference to FIGS. SE-SH can be performed using an electronic device similar or identical to device 100, 300, or 500.
[0152] [0152] In some embodiments, the device employs intensity hysteresis to avoid accidental inputs sometimes termed “jitter,” where the device defines or selects a hysteresis intensity threshold with a predefined relationship to the press-input intensity threshold (e.g., the hysteresis intensity threshold is X intensity units lower than the press-input intensity threshold or the hysteresis intensity threshold is 75%, 90%, or some reasonable proportion of the press-input intensity threshold). Thus, in some embodiments, the press input includes an increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold and a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold that corresponds to the press-input intensity threshold, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the subsequent decrease in intensity of the respective contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold (e.g., an “up stroke” of the respective press input). Similarly, in some embodiments, the press input is detected only when the device detects an increase in intensity of the contact from an intensity at or below the hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity at or above the press-input intensity threshold and, optionally, a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact to an intensity at or below the hysteresis intensity, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the press input (e.g., the increase in intensity of the contact or the decrease in intensity of the contact, depending on the circumstances).
[0153] [0153] For ease of explanation, the descriptions of operations performed in response to a press input associated with a press-input intensity threshold or in response to a gesture including the press input are, optionally, triggered in response to detecting either: an increase in intensity of a contact above the press-input intensity threshold, an increase in intensity of a contact from an intensity below the hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity above the press-input intensity threshold, a decrease in intensity of the contact below the press-input intensity threshold, and/or a decrease in intensity of the contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to the press-input intensity threshold. Additionally, in examples where an operation is described as being performed in response to detecting a decrease in intensity of a contact below the press-input intensity threshold, the operation is, optionally, performed in response to detecting a decrease in intensity of the contact below a hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to, and lower than, the press-input intensity threshold.
[0154] [0154] As used herein, an “installed application” refers to a software application that has been downloaded onto an electronic device (e.g., devices 100, 300, and/or 500) and is ready to be launched (e.g., become opened) on the device. In some embodiments, a downloaded application becomes an installed application by way of an installation program that extracts program portions from a downloaded package and integrates the extracted portions with the operating system of the computer system.
[0155] [0155] As used herein, the terms “open application” or “executing application” refer to a software application with retained state information (e.g., as part of device/global internal state 157 and/or application internal state 192). An open or executing application is, optionally, any one of the following types of applications: e an active application, which is currently displayed on a display screen of the device that the application is being used on; e a background application (or background processes), which is not currently displayed, but one or more processes for the application are being processed by one or more processors; and e a suspended or hibernated application, which is not running, but has state information that is stored in memory (volatile and non-volatile, respectively) and that can be used to resume execution of the application.
[0156] [0156] As used herein, the term “closed application” refers to software applications without retained state information (e.g., state information for closed applications is not stored in a memory of the device). Accordingly, closing an application includes stopping and/or removing application processes for the application and removing state information for the application from the memory of the device. Generally, opening a second application while in a first application does not close the first application. When the second application is displayed and the first application ceases to be displayed, the first application becomes a background application.
[0157] [0157] Attention is now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces ('UT”) and associated processes that are implemented on an electronic device, such as portable multifunction device 100, device 300, or device 500.
[0158] [0158] FIGS. 6A-6N illustrate exemplary user interfaces for navigating a collection of media items, in accordance with some embodiments. The user interfaces in these figures are used to illustrate the processes described below, including the processes in FIG. 7.
[0159] [0159] FIG. 6A illustrates an exemplary home screen 604 displayed on a touch-sensitive display 602 of electronic device 600. In some embodiments, electronic device 600 includes one or more features of devices 100, 300, or 500. Home screen 604 includes affordances corresponding to one more applications, including affordance 604A associated with a media library application (e.g., entitled "Photos”). Affordance 604A can be used to launch or otherwise open the media library application. As shown, electronic device 600 receives user input 606 at a location of affordance 604A. In response to user input 606, electronic device 600 displays view 608, as shown in FIG. 6B.
[0160] [0160] FIG. 6B illustrates an exemplary view (e.g., years view 608) of a media library (a collection of media items). For example, electronic device 600 displays years view 608 in response to receiving user input 606. As shown in FIG. 6B, exemplary years view 608 includes a plurality of tiles 608A-608C, each representing a calendar year. As shown, tile 608A represents the year 2019 and includes a region 608A-1 that includes a representative media item 609A (e.g., a picture) from the year 2019. Tile 608B represents the year 2018 and includes a region 608B-1 that includes a representative media item 609B from the year 2018. Tile 608C represents the year 2017 and includes a region 608C-1 that includes a representative media item 609C from the year 2017. In this example, the regions 608A-1, 608B-1, and 608C-1 occupy the entire respective tiles 608A, 608B, and 608C. In some embodiments, a region (e.g., 608A-1) occupies less than all of a representation (e.g., tile) of a time period. Years view 608 provides a way to display a summarization of a media library by year using representations (e.g., tiles) for each year, each representation including a media item selected from that year. In FIG. 6B, tiles 608A, 608B, 608C are displayed in a single-column view in chronological order.
[0161] [0161] A summarized view of a media library (e.g., years view 608) is useful if a media item selected to represent a time period is selected (e.g., by electronic device 600 and/or a cloud-based service) to be relevant to content that the user is likely to want to view, which can help guide efficient navigation through the media library to locate desired media items. However, the media library summarized by a view (e.g., 608) can include many different media items (e.g., hundreds or thousands), and selecting a media item to represent a time period such as a year (and that is likely to be relevant to what a user is browsing for) can present a challenge.
[0162] [0162] In this example, each of the representative media items 609A-609C displayed in tiles 608A-608C are relevant to a recurring event (also referred to as a “recurring temporal event” herein) that is associated with the current date. In FIG. 6B (and other figures herein), a box that identifies the current date (e.g., the date when the respective interface illustrated on the device is displayed) is included above electronic device 600 for the benefit of the reader, but is not included in the respective interface displayed on the device. In the example in FIG. 6B, the current date (e.g., February 17, 2019) is the birthday of a person (also referred to as an “individual” herein) associated with the user (e.g., the user, a significant person to the user (e.g, such as a family member of the user and/or a friend of the user), and/or any person otherwise associated with the user (e.g., user’s account, user’s device)). For example, the person’s birthday 1s saved in the user’s contacts, or in the user’s calendar, or the like. As shown in FIG. 6B, each of tiles 608A-608C includes a picture (609A, 609B, and 609C) selected from the person’s birthday (February 17) in each of the years 2019 (608A), 2018 (608B), and 2017 (608C). For example, the tile representing the current year 2019 includes a picture 609A of the birthday celebration from the current day (e.g., February 17, 2019), the tile representing previous year 2018 includes a picture 609B from the previous year’s birthday (February 17, 2018), and the tile representing previous year 2017 includes a picture 609C from that year’s birthday (February 17, 2017). In this example, accessing the years view 608 on the date of a significant recurring event, the birthday (February 17) of the user’s daughter (e.g., who is holding the cake in media item 609B), causes the electronic device 600 to present a view for browsing media items that has been populated with representative media items that are relevant to the significant recurring event over time, and thus that the user is likely to browse. For example, on the daughter’s birthday (e.g., in 2019), the user is likely to want to view pictures of their daughter (e.g., and her birthday) over 55
[0163] [0163] In some embodiments, if a media item relevant to the recurring event is not available (e.g., no pictures have been taken on February 17, 2019), then a recent media item (e.g., another picture taken on February 17, 2019; a most recent picture) is selected as the representative media item for the corresponding time period (e.g., the year 2019).
[0164] [0164] In some embodiments, a view (e.g., years view 608) includes one or more affordances for accessing one or more other views of the media library. For example, years view 608 includes a ribbon 610 that includes affordances (e.g., 610A-610D) for accessing different views of the media library (e.g., years view, months view, days view, all photos view). As shown in FIG. 6B, affordance 610A is selected (as indicated by the box around “Years”), providing an indication of the currently active view (a years view), as well as the time increment organization of the current view (e.g., the current tiles each represent a year time increment, as indicated by the text “Years”).
[0165] [0165] In some embodiments, a view (e.g., years view 608) includes one or more affordances (e.g., in area 612) for performing and/or accessing functions of a media application. For example, years view 608 includes application function affordances area 612 for performing or accessing functions of the photos applications, such as viewing media items according to a chronological organization ("Photos”, currently selected), viewing a media sharing interface (“For You”), accessing specific albums (“Albums”), or searching the media library (“Search”).
[0166] [0166] Years view 608 is an example of a view of a media library according to a particular increment of time (a year). In some embodiments, the increment of time represented by each tile in a view are different time increment. For example, other increments of time can be used, such as months, weeks, days, or the like, instead of years. The functions and characteristics described with respect to an exemplary years view can be applied to views for presenting media items according to any time increments, which are intended to be within the scope of this disclosure. In some embodiments, the representation (e.g., tile) of each time period displayed in a view 56
[0167] [0167] In some embodiments, a view is navigable (e.g., scrollable) for accessing additional tiles (e.g., that are not currently displayed) in the view. For example, years view 608 is vertically scrollable. In some embodiments, a view is navigable for accessing tiles representing every time period (e.g., according to the current time increment) that is represented in the media library. For example, while in the years view, vertical scrolling can be used to cause display of tiles for every year represented by media items in the media library—thus, if there are media items for every year between 2005 and 2019, a tile for each of these years (e.g., 15 total) can be accessed in years view 608 (e.g., via scrolling). Each of these tiles can include a respective representative media item selected based on the recurring event (e.g., user's daughter’s birthday in FIG. 6B). In this way, the device provides an interface with easy navigation and relevant summarization for navigating a collection of media items. In this example, at FIG. 6B electronic device 600 receives user input 614, which is a vertical swipe gesture in a downward direction representing a request to scroll years view 608 based on the downward direction of the vertical swipe gesture.
[0168] [0168] FIG. 6C illustrates years view 608 after navigation (e.g., in response to electronic device 600 receiving user input 614). In response to user input 614, which is a swipe gesture in a downward direction representing a request to navigate downward, electronic device 600 has scrolled years view 608 downward to display a tile 608D for the year 2016, while also displaying tile 608C. In some embodiments, if a recurring event is a significant event associated with a person (e.g., a birthday, an anniversary), a media item depicting the person is selected from a corresponding time period without regard to the particular day within the corresponding time period that the media item is from. For example, as shown in FIG. 6C, tile 608D includes a representative media item 609D that depicts the person (the user’s daughter) whose birthdays (from the years 2017 to 2019) are shown in tiles 608A-608C. However, media item 609D is from February 27, 2016 and not from February 17, 2016 (the daughter’s birthday). In some embodiments, the media item depicting the person is selected based on being a good depiction of 57
[0169] [0169] In some embodiments, a media items is selected as a representative media item based on one or more of the following: whether the media item has been favorited by user, image quality of the media item (e.g., high quality images have priority), length of the media item (e.g., a sequence of images or a video) (e.g., longer media items have priority), image composition of the media item (e.g., whether the media item depicts a well-composed scene, such as one in which subjects are centered and visible and exposure is correct, and the like), action that occurs during the media item (e.g., movement within the image frame is prioritized over a video in which the subject remains still), and whether one or more persons are depicted in the media item (e.g., the user and/or their family get priority over others persons).
[0170] [0170] In some embodiments, if a media item from a particular day within a corresponding time period is not available (e.g., not included in the media library), a media item (e.g., depicting the person associated with the significant event) is selected from the corresponding time period from a day other than the particular day. For example, a good picture (e.g., 609D from February 27,2016) of the user’s daughter can be selected as the representative media item if a picture from the daughter’s birthday of February 17, 2016 is not available in the user’s library, even if the selected picture is not from the birthday date or a birthday celebration event.
[0171] [0171] FIG. 6D illustrates another example of an exemplary years view (e.g., 614). For example, electronic device 600 displays years view 614 in response to a user input similar to user 58
[0172] [0172] In an alternative example, electronic device 600 displays years view 614 in response to user input 606 (FIG. 6A), instead of years view 608 (e.g., where the current date is not associated with a significant recurring event such as a birthday). In such example, electronic device 600 displays years view 614 instead of years view 608 on February 17 (e.g., of 2019) if that date is not associated with the user's daughter’s birthday (and, optionally, no other significant recurring event) as described with respect to FIGS. 6B-6C (e.g, the user's daughter’s birthday is instead on November 1st). In such example, the media displayed in years view 614 in FIG. 6B would be media from February 17 of each respective year.
[0173] [0173] Years view 614, similar to years view 608, includes tiles 614A-614C that each include a regions (614A-1, 614B-1, and 614C-1) that includes a representative media item (615A, 615B, and 615C) selected based on a recurring event. The representative media items in tiles 614A-614C are relevant to a recurring event associated with the current date, February 18,
[0174] [0174] In some embodiments, a media item is selected as a representative media item based on one or more quality metrics. For example, a media item can be selected because it is a good representation of a set of media items from that time period and/or for the recurring event (e.g., the best media item of a set depicting similar subject matter, or having a common theme (e.g., nature, cars, family gathering)). A media item can be selected because it is a good (also referred to as a good quality, a high quality, or a prioritized media item) media item based on one or more quality metrics (e.g., the media item depicts the user, has good lighting and/or composition, includes action (e.g., for videos or sequences of images), or the like). Thus, in this example, the media items selected in each of tiles 614A, 614B, and 614C represent a good media item and/or a best representation for their respective days of the year. In some embodiments, a representative media item for one time period is selected independent of a representative media item for another time period. For example, media items 615B and 615C, both depicting a car, can be selected independently of each other as a good quality image from each respective day (e.g., not selected based on each showing a car or having been taken at the same location). In some embodiments, a representative media item for one time period is selected at least in part on one or more media items from another time period. For example, one or both of media items 615B and 615C, both depicting a car, can be selected because of the common theme of car pictures that exists in media items from both of their respective days (e.g., media items selected based on each showing a car and/or having been taken at the same location (based on photo meta data).)
[0175] [0175] Including a selection of media items that have been selected based on a recurring event over the course of multiple time periods can include several efficiency benefits. For 60
[0176] [0176] As noted above, an exemplary years view is navigable (e.g., scrollable vertically, horizontally) to access tiles representing other years. In some embodiments, a time period view (e.g., years view, months view, days view) can be used to access representative media items for sub-periods within a selected time period.
[0177] [0177] Tuming to FIG. 6E, electronic device 600 receives user input 616 representing a press and hold gesture at a location of tile 614B. In response to receiving user input 616, electronic device 600 displays metadata 620B (which was not previously displayed), in addition to metadata 620A (displayed before user input 616). Metadata 620A identifies the time period represented by the tile 614B. Metadata 620B identifies a sub-period represented by the tile 614B. In this example, metadata 620A indicates that tile 614B represents the year 2018, and metadata 620B indicates that tile 614B also represents the month of February. Accordingly, metadata 620A and 620B together indicate that the representative media item depicted therein 1s from February of 2018. In addition, as will be explained in more detail below, the metadata can provide an indication of where the device will navigate to in response to selection of the tile. Any combination of metadata (e.g., as described herein) can be displayed before (e.g., without) input, or in response to input.
[0178] [0178] As shown in FIG. 6E, also in response to receiving user input 616, and while user input 616 continues to be detected (e.g., is determined to be on the touch screen display), electronic device 600 causes tile 614B to reduce in size. This can provide visual feedback that the user input 616 (a touch) is still detected, and that a sub-period navigation operation can be 61
[0179] [0179] FIG. 6F illustrates navigating between sub-periods while in a view (e.g., a years view) of a particular time increment (e.g., years). In FIG. 6F, in response to movement associated with user input 616 to the right, electronic device 600 has navigated to the right by one sub-period and replaced the representative media item for February 2018 displayed within tile 614B of FIG. 6E with a representative media item 615D from March 2018 (as indicated by metadata 620B, which has been updated to say "March”). In this example, a first recurring event is the day of the year February 18, which was used to select media items for tiles in the years view of FIG. 6E. However, representative media item 615D is selected based on a second recurring event associated with the current date. In this example, the second recurring event is a day of the month, and in particular the 18th day of the month. In some embodiments, the first recurring event and the second recurring event are both associated with the current date. For example, representative media item 615D is from the 18th day of March 2018 (the date of March 18, 2018). Thus, both the first recurring event and the second recurring event are associated with the current date because they include the current date— February 18th and the 18th day of the month both include the current date February 18, 2019. In this example, the media item 615D from March 18, 2018 depicts a candid shot of the user's family taken on that particular day. Accordingly, similar to how each year tile in FIG. 6D illustrates previews of media items according to a one-year time increment between representations (e.g., arranged vertically), scrolling (e.g., horizontally) through sub-periods within a tile provides previews of media items according to a one-month increment (where the sub-periods each represent a month) between representations. In some embodiments, the first recurring event is associated with a first time increment (e.g., years, months, weeks, or days), and the second recurring event is associated with 62
[0180] [0180] As further shown in FIG. 6F, paging dots 618 have been updated to show a second paging dot 618B as currently selected, indicating that the representative media item (and thus, displayed sub-period) has changed. In some embodiments, a paging dot can represent one or more sub-period transitions. For example, tile 614B includes five paging dots, but can be used to view representative media items for twelve calendar months. Thus, each paging dot represents more than one month. In this way, progress can be indicated without cluttering the interface.
[0181] [0181] FIG. 6F also illustrates electronic device 600 providing tactile output 622 (e.g., vibration) that indicates that a transition between sub-periods occurs. For example, while user input 616 continues to be detected in FIG. 6F, electronic device 600 outputs tactile output 622 contemporaneous in time (e.g., at the same time) as the transition (e.g., replacing display operation) from the February 2018 sub-period’s representative media item 615B to the March 2018 sub-period’s representative media item 615D. Thus, the tactile output can provide positive tactile feedback that a transition has occurred. Additionally, electronic device 600 can continue navigating (e.g., scrolling) through sub-periods of the time period 2018 while movement associated with user input 616 is detected (e.g., to the right in this example), providing a tactile output 622 at each transition between sub-periods as described above.
[0182] [0182] Tuming to FIG. 6G, in response to continuing to detect movement associated with user input 616 to the right, electronic device 600 navigates (e.g., scrolls) to the right by another sub-period and replaces the representative media item 615D for March 2018 displayed within tile 614B of FIG. 6F with a representative media item 615E from April 2018 (as indicated by metadata 620B which has been updated to say “April”). For example, the displacement of user input 616 from its initial location (e.g., touch down in FIG. 6E) was maintained, and in response to continue to detect such movement, electronic device 600 continues to navigate to a sup-period for April 2018. Similar to representative media item 615D, media item 615E is selected based 63
[0183] [0183] In some embodiments, continuing to detect movement associated with a user input (e.g., 616) includes continuing to detect that the user input has moved from its initial location (e.g., of touch down). For example, electronic device 600 can transition from March 2018 to April 2018 (FIGS. 6F-6G) without detecting further movement (e.g., at FIG. 6F), so long as the displacement of user input 616 to the right in FIG. 6F (e.g., that caused the transition from February 2018) away from the touch down location of user 616 continues to be detected (e.g., at a location that is beyond a threshold distance)—thus, a user need only press and hold and move to the right once (and maintain) to continue transitioning between sub-periods. In some embodiments, continuing to detect movement associated with a user input (e.g., 616) includes detecting further movement of the user input. For example, further movement at FIG. 6F of user input 616 to the right can cause electronic device 600 to display the transition from March 2018 to April 2018. In some embodiments, the time between transitions depends on the amount of movement detected. For example, if user input 616 has moved to the right from its initial location by a small amount (and has stopped), transitions can occur less frequently (e.g., once per second), but if the user input 616 has moved to the right a larger amount, transitions can occur more frequently (e.g., once every 0.5 seconds). The change in transition speed can be continuous (e.g., linearly related to movement amount) or be done based on one or more discrete levels (e.g., slow, normal, fast; 2 seconds, 1 second, 0.5 second). In some embodiments, movement of a user input in a different direction (e.g., to the left of the initial location of user input 616) causes the device to transition through sub-periods (e.g., in a different direction than movement to the right) in a different direction (e.g., in a reverse order). For example, movement of user input 616 to the left of its initial location while the sub-period April 2018 is displayed can cause electronic device 600 to transition in reverse order, than would be done for movement to the right, and display March 2018, then February 2018, then January 2018, or until the user input 616 or movement is no longer detected.
[0184] [0184] As further shown in FIG. 6G, tactile output 622 is provided to indicate a transition between sub-period representations: between representative media item 615D and representative media item 615E within tile 614B. Additionally, paging dot 618B continues to be displayed as selected (e.g., it represents more than one page transition).
[0185] [0185] In the examples depicted in FIGS. 6E to 6G, the representative media item within tile 614B was replaced twice while the movement of user input 616 continued to be detected (e.g., a press and hold followed by a drag to the right). In FIG. 6G, user input 616 continues to be detected but has moved back to its initial location (e.g., shown in FIG. 6E), and thus the movement associated with user input 616 is no longer detected. In response to ceasing to detect the movement of user input 616 while user input 616 continues to be detected, electronic device 600 ceases to navigate through sub-periods. In this example, because user input 616 is still detected (tap a hold), tile 614B continues to be displayed smaller and additional movement (e.g, left or right) can cause navigation between sub-periods. For example, subsequent movement of user input 616 can cause the April 2018 representative media item to be replaced: movement to the right to replace it with May 2018, or movement to the left to replace it with March 2018. In some embodiments, navigation through sub-periods is circular (which can also be referred to as "looping”). For example, after navigation causes all twelve months of the year to be displayed (e.g., beginning at February 2018, progressing to December 2018 and looping back to January 2018 after December 2018) and while scrolling continues, the device (e.g., 600) will replace the twelfth month (e.g., February 2018 in this example) with the first month (e.g., February 2018 in this example) and continue transitioning through sub-periods instead of stopping at the twelfth month. For instance, if user input 616 were held with movement to the right indefinitely, December 2018 would be reached, followed by January 2018, followed by February 2018, and then March 2018, and continue navigating and looping, until electronic device 600 ceases to detect user input 616 (or movement associated with user input 616). In some embodiments, scrolling through sub-periods is not circular (e.g., in this example, would stop at January 2018, which 1s the twelfth month based on starting from February 2018). In some embodiments, non- circular navigation has fixed beginning and endpoints (e.g., which are the first and last months of a calendar year) (e.g., in this example, would stop at December 2018 navigating to the right, and step at January 2018 navigating to the left).
[0186] [0186] In FIG. 6H, user input 616 has been removed and tile 614B has returned to normal size in response to electronic device 600 ceasing to detect user input 616 (e.g., after liftoff of user input 616 and prior to detecting user input 624). Also in response to ceasing to detect user input 616, electronic device 600 no longer displays metadata 620B and paging dots 618. In some embodiments, metadata (e.g., 620B) and/or paging dots (e.g., 618) are displayed even while no user input is detected. In some embodiments, in response to ceasing to detect a user input that causes navigation between sub-periods, the device maintains the representative media item of the sub-period displayed at the time that the user input ceased to be detected. For example, the representative media item 615E is displayed in tile 614B at the moment when user input 616 ceases to be detected (e.g., is lifted off the touch-sensitive display), and continues being displayed after user input 616 ceases to be detected, as shown in FIG. 6H. Thus, despite being from April 2018 (e.g., and not from the day of the year of the years view 614, February 18th), media item 615E is maintained within the representative media item region in tile 614B so that subsequent selection can be performed by the user of that sub-period, in order to control the focus of the a next view (e.g., months view) displayed in response to such subsequent selection. In other words, after navigating to April 2018 in years view 614, selection of tile 614B while media item 614E is maintained allows navigation to a months view that is focused on the month April 2018.
[0187] [0187] In some embodiments, selection of a tile representing a time period can cause an electronic device (e.g., 600) to display a different view of the media library according to a different time increment. In some embodiments, a plurality of views of a media library are arranged in a hierarchy of views. For example, selection of an affordance (e.g., a tile) in one view (e.g., a years view) causes an electronic device (e.g., 600) to display a next view in the hierarchy of views (e.g., a months view). In some embodiments, each view in the hierarchy of views is arranged and/or organized according to different time increments (e.g., years, months, weeks, days, or the like). In this way, a device can provide efficient and intuitive navigation between views having different time increment organizations. At FIG. 6H, electronic device 600 receives user input 624 (e.g., a tap input) at a location associated with tile 614B, representing selection of the tile.
[0188] [0188] FIGS. 61-6] illustrate an exemplary transition between views of the media library according to different time increments. FIG. 61 illustrates an animated transition between a years view 618 and an exemplary months view 626 (of FIG. 6J), displayed by electronic device 600 in response to user input 624 selection of year tile 614B. As shown in FIG. 61, month tiles 626A, 626B, and 626C are at least partially displayed. The selected year tile 614B has been replaced by (e.g., overlaid by, turned into, transformed into) month tile 626B, which includes the same representative media item 615E as the selected year tile 614B in FIG. 6H. This provides visual continuity when switching between views—the sub-period represented by the selected year tile is a focal point (e.g., center) of the animated transition and/or the resulting new view (e.g., months view) and includes the same representative media item. In this example, tile 626B is centered vertically during the transition to the new view (months view). Further, tiles 626A and 626C appear to flow out from under tile 626B, visually emphasizing 626B is the tile that includes the representative media item that has been selected. During the animated transition, year tiles 614C and 614A are still displayed, but will cease to be displayed (e.g., by being animatedly pushed off the display, covered by the month tiles (e.g., 626C and 626A), or faded out) as a result of the animation. In some embodiments, the media item displayed in the first view (e.g., years view) remains in place and/or at a same size during a transition to a second view (e.g., months view). For example, the horse depicted in media item 615E in years view 614 in FIG. 6H can appear to not move position or change in size during the transition to being displayed in a month tile 626B in months view 626, even if the tile frame changes size around it (e.g., 626B is smaller than 614B). Remaining static while other aspects of the interface change can further provide visual emphasis of the selected media item and visual continuity to a user.
[0189] [0189] FIG. 6J illustrates an exemplary months view 626. Electronic device 600 displays months view 626 as shown in FIG.6J in response to receiving user input 624. Months view 626, similar to years view 614, includes tiles 626A-626C that include representative media items (628A, 615E, and 615D) selected based on a recurring event. However, months view 626 is organized according to a different time increment than years view 614— specifically, months rather than years. Thus, a day of the year recurring event (a first recurring event) is not used to select media items for a months view, but rather a related recurring event (a second recurring event) of a day of the month is used, where both the day of the year and the day of the month 67
[0190] [0190] As discussed above, in order to maintain continuity when transitioning between views in a hierarchy or navigating sub-periods in a view, a representative media item for a time period (e.g., a year) can also be a representative media item for a particular sub-period (e.g., a month) of that time period. In such case, the representative media item can be considered to have been selected based on either or both a first recurring event (e.g., day of the year) and a second recurring event (e.g., day of the month). For example, in FIG. 6E, media item 615B is selected based on satisfying the day of the year recurring event of February 18th, but can also be considered to be selected based on satisfying the day of the month recurring event of the 18th day of the month.
[0191] [0191] In an alternative example to the one shown in FIG. 6J, such as when a recurring event is associated with one or more particular individuals (persons) (e.g., for a birthday, an anniversary, a holiday), a representative media item is selected from a time period represented by the corresponding tile without necessarily being from a particular day in that time period. For example, if a recurring event is a birthday associated with an individual (as illustrated in FIG. 6B) and a user input selection (similar to 624) is received at a location of tile 608B (FIG. 6B) while representative media item 609B is displayed, a view changes from a years view to a months view. Because displaying media items depicting the individual is important, representative media items for the resulting displayed month tiles can be media items selected based on whether they depict the individual whose birthday it is (and thus based on the same 68
[0192] [0192] In some embodiments, a months view (or any other increment) includes one or more of the features described above with respect to a years views. For example, months view 626 is navigable (e.g., scrollable vertically, horizontally) to access additional tiles representing other times periods (months) of the view. In some embodiments, tiles representing months (or any other increment) include one or more of the features described above with respect to years tiles. For example, a user input (e.g., press and hold associated with movement in a direction) can be used to navigate (within a month tile) representative media items of sub-periods of the month (e.g., weeks, days).
[0193] [0193] At FIG. 6], electronic device 600 receives user input 630 representing a tap gesture at a location of tile 626B representing selection of tile 626B.
[0194] [0194] FIGS. 6K-6M illustrate an exemplary days view 640 of a media library. As shown in FIG. 6K, days view 640 includes representations (e.g., thumbnails, cropped and/or reduced-size previews) of media items from the media library from one or more time periods. In some embodiments, a days view (e.g., 640) includes a plurality of representations of media items from a particular time period of the one or more time periods. In some embodiments, the plurality of representations are grouped in the days view according to their particular time period of the one or more time periods. In some embodiments, a particular time period is a combination of two smaller time periods. For example, days view 640 in FIG. 6K includes representation 640C (including media item 615E), representation 640D (including media item 642A), and representation 640E (including media item 642B), among others, from the time period of April 18-19, 2018 as indicated by metadata 646A. In some embodiments, the particular time period is a sub-period of another time period (or of another sub-period, an example of a time period) represented (e.g., by a tile) in a different view. For example, in FIG. 6K, the media item representations displayed are from the sub-period of April 18-19, 2018, which is a sub-period of 69
[0195] [0195] A days view provides an exemplary technique for providing a low-level, high-detail interface for viewing multiple individual media items in the media library from the same time period. That is, one or more of the years view or months view can be used to locate a representative media item and/or time period of interest, and focus in by navigating down through the hierarchy to the days view to a smaller time period. Alternatively, the days view can be accessed directly by selecting affordance 610C (which is shown as selected in FIG. 6K, indicating that the current view is the days view).
[0196] [0196] In some embodiments, the one or more time periods represented in the days view includes one or more days. For example, as shown in FIG. 6K, media items for April 18, 2018 and April 19, 2018 are grouped and presented together as April 18-19, 2018, as indicated by metadata 646A.
[0197] [0197] In some embodiments, a days view (e.g., 640) includes a curated set of media items (e.g., less than all media items available from the particular time period). For example, days view 640 includes representations of fewer than all of the media items in the media library from the dates April 18-19, 2018. For example, high-quality media-items can be selected to be part of the curated set (e.g., media items that meet one or more qualifications based on: lighting, subject matter, composition, sharpness/focus of subjects, inclusion of movement of the subject or action, or the like). In some embodiments, a days view (e.g., 640) includes an affordance (e.g., 640B) that, in response to selection, causes all media items (e.g., from a particular time period, or from the media library) to be displayed (e.g., in the days view). For example, days view 640 includes a show all affordance 640B that causes electronic device 600, in response to user input representing selection of 640B, to display the full set of media items from April 18-19, 2018 (in other words, the superset that includes the curated set and other additional media items). In some 70
[0198] [0198] In some embodiments, a days view (e.g., 640) includes a media selection affordance (e.g., 640A) that, in response to selection, causes the device (e.g., 600) to enter a selection mode for selecting media items. For example, days view 640 includes a media selection affordance 640A that causes electronic device 600, in response to detecting user input representing selection of 640A, to enter a selection mode allowing selection of one or more of the media items in days view 640 (e.g., for sending via an electronic message, adding to an album, marking for deletion, or other operation).
[0199] [0199] In some embodiments, a days view (e.g., 640) includes an indication of a boundary between time periods. For example, days view 640 in FIG. 6K includes an indication 644 that is displayed as media items having a dimmed or darkened appearance, and indicates the boundary between the beginning of representations of media items from the time period April 18-19, 2018 and the end of representations of media items from a preceding time period (e.g., April 14, 2018) that are arranged vertically above and accessible via navigation of (e.g., scrolling of) the days view. In this way, an excessive white space or other area is not needed to visually emphasize a boundary between media items that are from different time periods, saving space on a display. Further, dimming or darkening media items that are from a time period that is not the current focus of the days view visually emphasizes the media items from the time period that is the current focus of the days view, which potentially makes the interface more intuitive to a user and potentially reduces power consumption of a display (e.g., versus displaying high-brightness white space). In some embodiments, an indication of a boundary (e.g., 644) is overlaid on one or more representations of media items (e.g., from a time period that is not the current focus of the days view), and moves to remain overlaid as the representations move during navigation (e.g, 71
[0200] [0200] In some embodiments, a days view includes display of metadata (e.g., 646A, 646B) related to media items (e.g., from the time period that is the current focus of the days view). In some embodiments, a days view includes a banner area (e.g., 645 in FIG. 6L) that includes metadata related to media items (e.g., from the time period that is the current focus of the days view) and/or that provides separation between media items from different time periods. In some embodiments, a days view includes a separation area (e.g., 647 in FIG. 6L) that provides separation between media items of different days view time periods. For example, in FIG. 6L, a small separation area 647 is displayed between media items from two different time periods (April 18-19 and May 1-2). In some embodiments, the banner area (e.g., 645) or the separation area (e.g., 647) is partially overlaid on representations of media items from one or more time periods that are the current focus of the days view. For example, banner area 645 can be a persistent banner that includes metadata for the currently focused on time period, and navigating the days view can cause media items to scroll under the banner (e.g., until the banner is replaced with a persistent banner from a another time period, or until the metadata of the banner is updated to reflect the new current focused on time period). In some embodiments, metadata common to multiple displayed time periods (e.g., a year) is only displayed once (e.g., at the top of the display). For example, in 646A in FIG. 6L includes the year 2018, but 646B does not.
[0201] [0201] In some embodiments, an indication of a boundary (e.g., 644) is overlaid on at least a portion (e.g, all visible portions) of representations of media item(s) from a time period that is not the current focus of the current view (e.g., a days view). For example, in FIG. 6L, all visible portions of the representation of a media item from the period May 1-2, 2018 are displayed overlaid with indication 644 and thus have a dimmed/darkened appearance, and representations of media items from April 18-19, 2018 are not displayed overlaid with 644.
[0202] [0202] In some embodiments, a days view (e.g., 640) includes displayed of metadata that includes information about one or more media items or group of media items (e.g., from a time period). For example, days view 640 in FIG. 6K includes metadata 646A identifying the time 72
[0203] [0203] In some embodiments, representations of media items in a days view (e.g., 640) can be arranged having non-uniform sizes. For example, in FIG. 6K, representation 640C is displayed the largest (e.g., is a key media item at the top of the currently focused section of the days view that includes the media items from the period April 18-19, 2018), representation 640D is displayed smaller than 640C but larger than other representations, and representation 640E is displayed smaller than both of the other two. In some embodiments, the size of a representation of a media item in a view (e.g., days view) depends on one or more factors such as dimensions of the media item, whether the media item has an important status (e.g., has been favorited by a user), whether it depicts action (e.g., for a media item that can be played back over time), whether it depicts particular individuals, the quality of the media item (e.g., composition, lighting, focus), whether it is a good representation of other media items in the time period or of an event (e.g., a picture of an entire family for a time period that includes a family vacation), and whether it is selected for automatic playback. .
[0204] [0204] In some embodiments, a days view (e.g., 640) is navigable (e.g., scrollable). In some embodiments, the days view is navigable (e.g., scrollable)to display additional (e.g., not yet displayed) portions or representations of media items from the time period currently in focus. For example, in FIG. 6K, electronic device 600 receives user input 648 which is a swipe gesture in an upward direction representing a request to scroll upward. In response to receiving user input 648, electronic device 600 displays more of representation 640E of media item 642B, as shown in FIG. 6L.
[0205] [0205] In some embodiments, the days view is navigable (e.g., scrollable) to display additional (e.g., not yet displayed) representations of media items from one or more time periods (e.g., of the same time period if all representations do not fit on the display concurrently; of one or more different time periods). For example, in FIG. 6K, electronic device 600 receives user input 648 which is a swipe gesture in an upward direction representing a request to navigate the days view upward. In response to receiving user input 648, electronic device 600 scrolls days view 640 upward to display a portion of representation 640F, as shown in FIG. 6L. In this 73
[0206] [0206] In response to detecting user input 648 (in FIG. 6L) moving further in an upward direction while continuing to be detected on the touch screen display, electronic device 600 scrolls days view 640 upward to the state shown in FIG. 6M. In FIG. 6M, electronic device 600 displays additional representations of media items from the time period May 1-2, 2018 due to the scrolling navigation—representation 640G (of media item 642D) is displayed. Notably, also in response to user input 648 moving further in the upward direction, electronic device 600 displays, as shown in FIG. 6M, the representations of media items from the time period April 18- 19, 2018 overlaid with an indication of a boundary 644 (dimmed appearance) because that time period is no longer currently in focus in the days view 640. Additionally, as shown in FIG. 6M, in response to detecting user input 648 moving further in the upward direction, electronic device 600 ceases to display the representations of media items from the time period May 1-2, 2018 as overlaid by an indication of a boundary 644 (dimmed appearance) because the May 1-2, 2018 time period is now currently in focus in the days view 640 due to the scrolling. In some embodiments, a time period is considered in focus if it occupies a particular location on the display (e.g., the center of the display, or the center of the days view). In some embodiments, a time period is considered in focus if an edge (e.g., top) of a representation (e.g., a first representation for the time period, such as 640F) is past (e.g., above, below) a particular location on the display (e.g., above a halfway point on the display).
[0207] [0207] As described above, a device can be used to navigate between various views of a hierarchy to view a media library at different layers of granularity and summarization (e.g, summarized by year, by month, by days, etc.). Further, it can be important to access media items in a one-up view for viewing detail of a selected media item. FIG. 6N illustrates an exemplary one-up view of a selected media item.
[0208] [0208] At FIG. 6M, electronic device 600 receives user input 650 which is a tap gesture representing selection of the representation 640G of media item 642D. At FIG. 6N, in response to receiving user input 650, electronic device 600 displays exemplary one-up view 652. One-up view 652 includes one-up area 652A that includes a large-scale view of a media item—in this example, of media item 642D selected in FIG. 6M. One-up view 652 also includes a scrubbing area 652B that can be used (e.g., via user input) to perform scrubbing through one or more adjacent media items (e.g., adjacent in the curated set of media items in the media library, or adjacent in the full set of media items in the media library) to cause display of another media item (e.g., the media item at which scrubbing ceases) in the one-up area 652A (e.g., by replacing display of media item 642D). One-up view 652 also includes area 652C that includes a representation of the media item being viewed in the one-up area 652A—in this example, media item 642D. For example, a swipe gesture within scrubbing area 652B to move another representation into area 652C would cause the corresponding media item to be displayed in area 652A.
[0209] [0209] FIG. 7 is a flow diagram illustrating a method for navigating a collection of media items using an electronic device in accordance with some embodiments. Method 700 is performed at a device (e.g., 100, 300, 500) with a display device and one or more input devices. Some operations in method 700 are, optionally, combined, the orders of some operations are, optionally, changed, and some operations are, optionally, omitted.
[0210] [0210] As described below, method 700 provides an intuitive way for navigating a collection of media items. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for navigating a collection of media items, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to navigate a collection of media items faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
[0211] [0211] The electronic device (e.g., 600) receives (702), via the one or more input devices (e.g., 602), a first input (e.g., 606; selection of 610A; selection of 610B). In response to receiving the first input, the electronic device (e.g., 600) displays (704), via the display device (e.g., 602), a first view (e.g., 608, 614, 626) (e.g., years view, months view; a summarized view with less than all photos of a media library) of a collection of media items (e.g., media items in a 75
[0212] [0212] In accordance with a determination (706) that a current time (e.g., February 18, 2019) is associated with a first recurring temporal event (e.g., day of the week, day of the month, holiday, birthday, anniversary, or the like): the representation (e.g., 608B in FIG. 6B, 614B in FIG. 6D, 626B in FIG. 6J) of the first time period (e.g., 2018 for years views 608 or 614 in FIGS. 6B and 6D, April for months view 626 in FIG. 6J) includes a first region (e.g., 608B-1, 614B-1, 626B-1) that is occupied by a first representative media item (e.g., 609B, 615B, 615E) from the first time period (e.g., taken during the time period) that is selected based on the first recurring temporal event (e.g., individual’s birthday, day of the year February 18 for FIG. 6D, the 18th day of the month for FIG. 6J), and the representation (e.g., 608C, 614C, 626C) of the second time period (e.g., 2017 for years views 608 or 614 in FIGS. 6B and 6D, March for months view 626 in FIG. 6J) includes a second region (e.g., 608C-1, 614C-1, 626C-1) that is occupied by a second representative media item (e.g., 609C, 615C, 615D) from the second time period (e.g., taken during the time period) that is selected based on the first recurring temporal event.
[0213] [0213] In accordance with a determination (708) that the current time (e.g., February 17, 2019) is associated with a second recurring temporal event (e.g., individual’s birthday in FIG. 6B), wherein the second recurring temporal event is different from the first recurring temporal event (e.g., day of the year February 18): the first region (e.g., 608B-1 in FIG. 6B) of the representation (e.g., 608B) of the first time period (e.g., 2018) is occupied by a third representative media item (e.g., 609B) from the first time period that is selected based on the second recurring temporal event (e.g., individual’s birthday) and is different from the first representative media item (e.g., 615B in FIG. 6D) from the first time period, and the second region (e.g., 608C-1) of the representation (e.g., 608C) of the second time period (e.g., 2017) is 76
[0214] [0214] Selecting and displaying representative media items based on a particular recurring temporal event associated with a current time automatically provides dynamically and contextually relevant media items when displaying a collection of media items, reducing the time a user spends navigating interfaces to find such relevant media items. Performing an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input enhances the operability of the electronic device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the electronic device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the electronic device more quickly and efficiently.
[0215] [0215] In some embodiments, a current time includes one or more of a current time of day (e.g., hour, minute) and a current date (e.g., February 18, 2019). For example, the current time can be: a time of day, a date associated with the current time of day, a day of the week associated with the current time and/or date, day of the month associated with the current time or date, and/or a range of time/dates that include the current time. In some embodiments, the current time is associated with a recurring temporal event when both fall on the same day of the week, both fall on the same day of the month, or both fall on the date of a significant event (e.g., birthday, anniversary, holiday, or the like).
[0216] [0216] In some embodiments, selecting a representative media item based on a recurring temporal event includes one or more of selecting the representative media item: from a day of the week associated with the current time, from a day of the month associated with the current time, from a day of the year associated with the current time, and from a range of time/dates that include the current time (e.g., recent dates and/or times). In some embodiments, selecting a representative media item based on a recurring temporal event includes selecting the representative media item that is representative of a significant event (e.g., birthday, anniversary, holiday). In some embodiments, selecting a representative media item for a time period that 77
[0217] [0217] In some embodiments, when the current time (e.g., February 17, 2019) is associated with the second recurring temporal event (e.g., individual’s birthday in FIG. 6B), the representation (e.g., 609B in FIG. 6B) of the first time period (e.g., 2018) excludes the first representative media item (e.g., 615B in FIG. 6D). In some embodiments, the first time period includes the current time (e.g., February 17, 2019). For example, the first time period can be 2019 when the current time is February 17, 2019.
[0218] [0218] In some embodiments, when the current time (e.g., February 17, 2019) is associated with the second recurring temporal event (e.g., individual’s birthday in FIG. 6B), the representation (e.g., 608C of FIG. 6B) of the second time period (e.g., 2017) excludes the second representative media item (615C of FIG. 6D).
[0219] [0219] In some embodiments, a view (e.g., years view, months view) (e.g., 608, 614, 626, 640) of a collection of media items is a graphical presentation of the collection of media items. For example, different views (e.g., 608, 614, 626, 640) of the same plurality of media items can present the media items (a portion or all of the collection) in different ways, such as having one or more different: visual arrangements of media items, organization of media items (e.g., by year, month, day, event, persons depicted, location, or the like), ordering of media items, curation of presented media items (e.g., only presenting a subset of media items), and the like.
[0220] [0220] In some embodiments, a media item (e.g., 609A-609C, 615A-615C, 628A) is selected as a representative media item based on having one or more attributes. In some embodiments, one or more attributes of a media item include one or more of the following: whether a media item has been favorited by user, media item image quality (e.g., high quality images have priority), length of a sequence of images or a video (e.g., longer media items have priority), image composition of a media item (e.g., a media item depicts a well-composed scene, such as one in which subjects are centered and visible and exposure is correct, and the like), action that occurs during the media item (e.g., movement within the image frame is prioritized over a video in which the subject remains still), and individuals depicted (e.g., the user and/or their family get 78
[0221] [0221] In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 600) displays metadata (e.g, identifying a year, month, day, or event) (e.g., 620A and/or 620B) visually associated with (e.g., overlaid on) a representation (e.g., 614B) of a time period (e.g., 2018) (e.g., overlaid on the corresponding representative media item). For example, the text “2018” can be overlaid on a representation 614B of a time period for the year 2018, as shown in FIGS. 6D-6E.
[0222] [0222] In some embodiments, a view (e.g., first view) (e.g., 608, 614, 626) includes any number of representations (e.g., 608A-608D, 614A-614C, 626A-626C) of time periods. In some embodiments, the view (e.g., first view) (e.g., 608, 614, 626) includes a number of representations of time periods equal to the number of time periods represented by the media library. For example, if a first view is a years view and the media library includes media items from each year of 10 full years, then the first view can include 10 representations of time periods (years in this example). In some embodiments, if some time periods (e.g., years) do not include media items in the media library (e.g., are ‘empty’), then representations for such time periods can be excluded from the first view (e.g., no tile displayed for a year that has no media items).
[0223] [0223] In some embodiments, the first view (e.g., 608, 614, 626) is navigable (e.g., scrollable) to display representations of time periods. For example, as shown in FIGS. 6B-6C, the exemplary first view 608 can be scrolled (e.g., vertically) to display representations of time periods, all of which are not necessarily displayed concurrently (e.g., display device displaying the view can display 3 at a time).
[0224] [0224] In some embodiments, representations of time periods in a view (e.g., first view) (e.g., 608, 614, 626) are arranged chronologically. For example, the first view can be arranged chronologically from oldest on top to newest on bottom—thus, representations of older time periods are displayed above representations for newer time periods (e.g., as shown in views 608, 79
[0225] [0225] In some embodiments, the representation (e.g., 614B of FIG. 6D) of the first time period (e.g., 2018) includes a single representative media item (e.g., 615B) selected from the collection of media items for the first time period (e.g., 614B does not include two representative media items), and the representation (e.g., 614C of FIG. 6D) of the second time period (e.g, 2017) includes a single representative media item (e.g., 615C) selected from the collection of media items for the second time period (e.g., 614C does not include two representative media items).
[0226] [0226] In some embodiments, each single representative media item (e.g., 615A, 615B, 615C in FIG. 6D) for a corresponding representation (e.g., 614A, 614B, 614C) of a time period (e.g., 2019, 2018, 2017) occupies at least a predetermined threshold amount of its corresponding representation of a time period (e.g., at least 25%, 33%, 50%, 66%, 75%). For example, in the example shown in FIG. 6D, each media item occupies 100% of a representation of a media item (e.g., of a tile, such as 614B) (e.g., regions 614B-1 and 614C-1 occupy their entire respective tiles). In other examples, the representative media item (e.g., 615B) in a representation (e.g., 614B) of a time period can occupy less than 100%, but still at least some threshold amount such as 75%. The remaining area can include other information or content associated with the corresponding time period (e.g., one or more other media items, textual information, metadata, or the like).
[0227] [0227] In some embodiments, a respective media item (e.g., first, second, third, fourth representative media items) (e.g., 615B, 615C) from a respective time period (e.g., first, second time periods) (e.g., 2018, 2017) that is selected based on a corresponding recurring temporal event (e.g., first, second recurring temporal events) (e.g., day of the year, day of the month) is selected based on one or more of: in accordance with the corresponding recurring temporal event including a day of the year (e.g., February 18) of the current time (e.g., February 18, 2019), the respective media item (e.g., 615B, 615C) being from (e.g., captured on, saved on) the day of 80
[0228] [0228] In some embodiments, the current time (e.g., February 18, 2019) is associated with the first recurring temporal event (e.g., day of the year February 18). In accordance with the first time period (e.g., 2018) and the second time period (e.g., 2017) representing different calendar years: the first recurring temporal event is a day of the year (e.g., month and day that occurs in multiple years; February 18), and the first representative media item (e.g., 615B in FIG. 6D) from the first time period (e.g., 2018) that is selected based on the first recurring temporal event is selected based on the first representative media item being from a plurality of media items from (e.g., captured on, saved on) the day of the year (e.g., February 18) from a first calendar year (e.g., 2018) represented by the first time period (e.g., 2018), and the second representative media item (e.g., 615C in FIG. 6D) from the second time period that is selected based on the first recurring temporal event is selected based on the second representative media item being from a plurality of media items from (e.g., captured on, saved on) the day of the year from a second calendar year (e.g., 2017) represented by the second time period (e.g., 2017), wherein the first calendar year and the second calendar year are different. For example, where each representation of different time periods each represents a different year (e.g., as shown in 6D), a representative media item in at least one (e.g., all) representation is selected from the same day of the year as the current time. For example, if the first time period represents the year 2018, and the day of the year of the first recurring temporal event is February 18, then the first representative media item is selected from media items from February 18, 2018. For example, if the second time period represents the year 2017, and the day of the year of the first recurring temporal event is February 18, then the second representative media item is selected from media items from February 18, 2017.
[0229] [0229] In some embodiments, the current time (e.g., February 18, 2019) is associated with the first recurring temporal event (e.g., the 18th day of the month), and in accordance with the first time period (e.g., April 2018) and the second time period (e.g., March 2018) representing different calendar months: the first recurring temporal event is a day of the month (e.g., day that occurs each month, such as the 1st, 5th, 8th, or 21st day of the month) (e.g., the 18th day of the month), and the first representative media item (e.g., 615E in tile 626B of FIG. 6J) from the first time period (e.g., April 2018) that is selected based on the first recurring temporal event is selected based on the first representative media item being from a plurality of media items from (e.g., captured on, saved on) the day of the month (e.g., 18th day of the month) from a first calendar month (e.g., April 2018) represented by the first time period (e.g., April 2018), and the second representative media item (e.g., 615D) from the second time period that is selected based on the first recurring temporal event is selected based on the second representative media item being from a plurality of media items from (e.g., captured on, saved on) the day of the month (e.g., 18th day of the month) from a second calendar month (e.g., March 2018) represented by the second time period (e.g., March 2018), wherein the first calendar month and the second calendar month are different. For example, where each representation of different time periods each represents a different month (e.g., as shown in FIG. 6J), a representative media item in at least one (e.g., all) representation is selected from the same day of the month as the current time. For example, if the first time period represents the month of April 2018, and the day of the month of the first recurring temporal event is the 18th day of the month, then the first representative media item is selected from media items from April 18, 2018. For example, if the second time period represents the month of March 2018, and the day of the month of the first recurring temporal event is the 18th day of the month, then the second representative media item 1s selected from media items from March 18, 2018. In some embodiments, the first calendar month (e.g., April) and the second calendar month (e.g., March) are from the same calendar year (e.g., 2018). In some embodiments, the first calendar month and the second calendar month are from different calendar years (e.g., December 2017 and January 2018).
[0230] [0230] In some embodiments, the current time (e.g., February 18, 2019) is associated with the first recurring temporal event, and the first recurring temporal event is a significant event (e.g., a significant personal event) that occurs at the current time, and the first representative 82
[0231] [0231] In some embodiments, a significant event is a holiday. In some embodiments, a significant event is a birthday (e.g., of the user, or another individual (person) associated with the user such as a member of the user's family), an anniversary (e.g., a wedding anniversary between the user and their spouse), or the like. In some embodiments, a significant event is determined based on a calendar entry (e.g., defined by the user) associated with the device or associated with a user account that is associated with the device. In some embodiments, a significant event is determined based on information stored regarding one or more individuals (e.g., a birthday saved in contact information). For example, a media item is selected as a representative media item for a corresponding time period if the media item represents the significant event well. In some embodiments, the significant event is associated with one or more characteristics that are used to select a representative media item. In some embodiments, characteristics are used based on what a media items depicts (e.g., family members, a particular person, a Christmas tree). For example, a significant event can be a holiday such as Christmas, and a representative media item can be selected based on a family characteristic (e.g., whether it depicts the user's family) (e.g., because the user takes many pictures with their family each year during Christmas), and/or based on a holiday-related characteristic (e.g., whether it depicts a Christmas tree). As another example, a birthday of a particular person (e.g., user’s daughter) causes media items that include the particular person (e.g., and the device user) as representative media items.
[0232] [0232] In some embodiments, the significant event is a holiday, and the first representative media item (e.g., 615B) that is selected based on the one or more characteristics of the significant event is selected based on the first representative media item being a media item from the first time period that is representative of the one or more characteristics of the holiday, and the second representative media item (e.g., 615C) that is selected based on the one or more characteristics of 83
[0233] [0233] In some embodiments, the significant event is an anniversary (e.g., wedding anniversary) for a first individual (e.g., the user) and a second individual (e.g., user's spouse), and the first representative media item that is selected based on the one or more characteristics of the significant event is selected based on the first representative media item being a media item from the first time period that depicts the first individual and the second individual (e.g., the first individual and the second individual are identified in the one or more characteristics), and the second representative media item that is selected based on the one or more characteristics of the significant event is selected based on the second representative media item being a media item from the second time period that depicts the first individual and the second individual. In some embodiments, a media item for a corresponding time period is selected based on quality or rating 84
[0234] [0234] Selecting and displaying representative media items based on an anniversary between two individuals based on the media item depicting the two individuals automatically provides dynamically and contextually relevant media items when displaying a collection of media items, reducing the time a user spends navigating interfaces to find such relevant media items. Performing an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input enhances the operability of the electronic device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the electronic device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the electronic device more quickly and efficiently.
[0235] [0235] In some embodiments, the significant event is a birthday of a third individual (e.g., the user, or another individual) (e.g., user’s daughter as discussed with respect to FIGS. 6B-6C), and the first representative media item (e.g., 609B in FIG. 6B) that is selected based on the one or more characteristics of the significant event (e.g., user's daughter’s birthday) is selected based on the first representative media item being a media item from the first time period (e.g., 2018) that depicts the third individual (e.g., the third individual is identified in the one or more characteristics), and the second representative media item (e.g., 609C) that is selected based on the one or more characteristics of the significant event is selected based on the second representative media item being a media item from the second time period (e.g., 2017) that depicts the third individual. In some embodiments, a representative media item selected based on the one or more characteristics (e.g., depicts a third individual) of the significant event is from a particular corresponding time period (e.g., first time period, or second time period), but is not necessarily from the same day of the year, day of the month, day of the week (or the like) as the 85
[0236] [0236] In some embodiments, in accordance with the third individual being a significant individual, the birthday of the third individual is a significant event; and in accordance with the third individual not being a significant individual, then the birthday of the third individual is not a significant event. In some embodiments, the user is a significant individual. In some embodiments, criteria for whether an individual is a significant individual includes one or more of: whether the individual is marked as a favorite individual (e.g., by the user), whether the individual is a close family member (e.g., child of the user, spouse of the user, parent of the user, sibling of the user), whether the media library of the user includes more than a threshold amount of media items that depict that individual (e.g., the user has a high number of pictures of the individual). For example, a birthday of a third individual is a significant event if the third individual is the user's child. As another example, an individual that is a casual acquaintance would not qualify as a significant individual, and thus their birthday would not be considered a significant event, even if the user's account or device was aware of the acquaintance’s birthday; in the case of the casual acquaintance’s birthday (not a significant event), if no significant event was associated with the current time that includes the acquaintance’s birthday, then another 86
[0237] [0237] Selecting and displaying representative media items based on an individuals birthday based on the media item depicting the individual automatically provides dynamically and contextually relevant media items when displaying a collection of media items, reducing the time a user spends navigating interfaces to find such relevant media items. Performing an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input enhances the operability of the electronic device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the electronic device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the electronic device more quickly and efficiently.)
[0238] [0238] In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the current time is associated with the first recurring temporal event: the first representative media item (e.g., 615B in FIG. 6D) that is selected based on the first recurring temporal event (e.g., day of the year February 18th) is selected based on the first representative media item being a media item from a particular day (e.g., the same day of the year, same day of the month, or same day of the week as the current time) (e.g., day of the year February 18th) within the first time period (e.g., 2018), and the second representative media item (e.g., 615C in FIG. 6D) that is selected based on the first recurring temporal event is selected based on the second representative media item being a media item from a particular day (e.g., the same day of the year, same day of the month, or same day of the week as the current time) (e.g., day of the year February 18th) within the second time period (e.g., 2017). For example, where the first representative media item is selected to represent the entire year (e.g., upon initial display of a year view) for a previous year 2018, then the first representative media item is from the same day of the year in 2018 as the current time. As another example, if the first representative media item is selected to represent a month (e.g., in a months view, or horizontally scrolling through months in a years view tile), then the first representative media item is from the same day of the month as the current time.
[0239] [0239] In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the current time is associated with the second recurring temporal event (e.g., user's daughter’s birthday) (and, optionally, not associated with the first recurring temporal event): the third representative media item (e.g., 609B in FIG. 6B) that is selected based on the second recurring temporal event 1s selected based on the third representative media item being a media item from the first time period (e.g., 2018) and without a requirement that the third representative media item is from a particular day (e.g., February 17) within the first time period (e.g., the same day of the year, same day of the month, or same day of the week as the current time), and the fourth representative media item (e.g., 609C in FIGS. 6B-6C) that is selected based on the second recurring temporal event is selected based on the fourth representative media item being a media item from the second time period (e.g., 2017) and without a requirement that the fourth representative media item is from a particular day (e.g., February 17) within the second time period (e.g., the same day of the year, same day of the month, or same day of the week as the current time). For example, where the third representative media item is selected to represent the entire year (e.g., upon initial display of a year view) for a previous year 2018, then the third representative media item is selected from the year 2018, but is not necessarily selected from the same day of the year in 2018 as the current time (February 17, 2019). For example, if the second recurring temporal event is a significant event, such as a birthday of an individual, a high quality media item (e.g., a portrait photograph) of that individual from 2018 can be selected that is not necessarily from the day of the individual’s birthday in 2018 (e.g., because the media library might not include any for that particular birthday, but a user would still want to see a good picture of that person over the years). As another example, if the third representative media item is selected to represent a month (e.g., in a months view, or horizontally scrolling through months in a years view tile), then the third representative media item is from the month it represents, but not necessarily the same day of the month as the current time.
[0240] [0240] In some embodiments, a single recurring temporal event is selected to be associated with the current time. For example, a significant event recurring temporal event can take priority over a day of the year/month/week recurring temporal event; thus, a significant event is used to select representative media items if it exists for the current time, otherwise a day of the 38
[0241] [0241] In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 600) receives, via the one or more input devices, a second input (e.g., 616 in FIG. 6E). In response to receiving the second input: in accordance with a determination that a duration of the second input exceeds a threshold duration (e.g., is a press and hold gesture), and in accordance with a determination that the second input corresponds to a location of the representation (e.g., 614B of FIG. 6E) of the first time period, the electronic device displays, via the display device, information (e.g., 620B) (e.g., a month) related to the first time period (e.g., 2018 in FIG. 6E) (e.g., a year). In some embodiments, the information is displayed visually associated with (e.g., overlaid on, displayed just below or above) the first representation (e.g., 614B in FIG. 6E). In some embodiments, the information identifies an event and/or time period that includes less than all of the first time period. For example, if the first time period is a calendar year (e.g., 2018), the information displayed in response to a press and hold can be a month (e.g, the particular month from 2018 that the currently displayed representative media item is from). In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that a duration of the second input does not exceed the threshold duration (e.g., is a tap gesture), and in accordance with a determination that the second input corresponds to a location of the representation of the first time period, the electronic device (e.g., 600) displays, via the display device, a different view (e.g., months view such as 626 in FIG. 6J) (e.g., months view or a days view, different from the current first view that is a years view) than the current view (e.g., 614 in FIG. 6D). In some embodiments, the second input is received at a location of the representation (e.g., 614C of FIG. 6D) of the second time period (e.g., 2017). In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the duration of the second input exceeds the threshold duration (e.g, is a press and hold gesture), and in accordance with a determination that the second input corresponds to a location of the representation of the second time period, the electronic device displays, via the display device, information (e.g., a month) related to the second time period (e.g., 2017 in FIG. 6D) (e.g., a year). In some embodiments, the second input is received at a location associated with any representation of any time period in the first view and, in response, the electronic device (e.g., 600) displays 89
[0242] [0242] Providing access to information related to the first time period in response to user input allow a user to access information without cluttering the display before such information is needed (e.g., requested). Providing additional control options without cluttering the UI with additional displayed items enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
[0243] [0243] In some embodiments, in accordance with the determination that the duration of the second input (e.g., 616 in FIG. 6E) exceeds the threshold duration (e.g., is a press and hold gesture), and in accordance with the determination that the second input corresponds to the location of the representation (e.g., 614B) of the first time period (e.g., 2018), the electronic device (e.g., 600) reduces the size of the representation of the first time period. For example, in response to receiving input 616, representation 614B is reduced in size in FIG. 6E (e.g., compared to FIG. 6D before input 616). In some embodiments, the representation (e.g., 614B) remains at a reduced size for as long as the input is detected (e.g., until lift off of the contact of 616). In some embodiments, the representation reduces in size temporarily and then retums to normal size (e.g., bounces back without requiring lift off).
[0244] [0244] Reducing the size of a representation provides feedback about the state of a device (e.g., that a press and hold gesture has been detected) and that the device is ready to perform another operation in response to a further manipulation of the input (e.g., horizontal swipe to navigate sub-periods). Providing improved feedback enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
[0245] [0245] In some embodiments, while the first representative media item (e.g., 614B in FIG. 6E) is displayed in the first region (e.g., 614B-1), wherein the first representative media item is from a first sub-period (e.g., February 2018) included within the first time period (e.g., 2018) (e.g, first representative media item is from February 2018, which is a sub-period of the year 2018): the electronic device (e.g., 600) receives, via the one or more input devices, a third input (e.g., 616; movement of 616). In response to receiving the third input: in accordance with a determination that the third input (e.g., a swipe; a press and hold that is dragged) includes movement in a first direction (e.g., left or right) (e.g., 616 moves to the right as shown in FIG. 6F), and in accordance with a determination that the third input corresponds to (e.g., starts at) a location of the representation (e.g., 614B) of the first time period, the electronic device (e.g., 600) navigates through a plurality of sub-periods (e.g., the calendar months of 2018) included within the first time period including replacing display of, via the display device, the first representative media item (e.g., 615B in FIG. 6E) from the first sub-period (February 2018) in the first region with display of a fifth representative media item (e.g., 615D in FIG. 6F) from the first time period (e.g., 2018) (e.g., replacing first representative media item from a first month with a representative media item from a different month) that is selected based on the first recurring temporal event (e.g., day of the year February 18 that includes the current date) (e.g., the same significant event, such as a birthday or anniversary, as the first representative media item) or a third recurring temporal event (e.g., different than the first recurring temporal event) (e.g., day of the month that includes the current date) (e.g., 18th day of the month) related to the first recurring temporal event, wherein the fifth representative media item is from a second sub- period (e.g., March 2018 as shown in FIG. 6F) included within the first time period that is different from the first sub-period (e.g., the fifth representative media item is from a second sub- period (e.g., March) that is adjacent to the first sub-period (e.g., February), which are both sub- periods of the first time period (e.g., the year 2018)). For example, in response to receiving an input 616 (e.g., an exemplary third input) that is a press and hold that is dragged horizontally (e.g., to the right, an exemplary first direction) on a representation of the year 2018, the electronic device (e.g., 600) navigates through one or more of a plurality of sub-periods included within the time period associated with the location of the received input (e.g., the first time period in the case of the third input), wherein navigating through the one or more plurality of 91
[0246] [0246] Navigating through representative media items from sub-periods of a first time period within a region of a representation of the first time period allows the user to easily and logically navigate through a collection of media items in predictable and logical increments while displaying previews of underlying content, thereby reducing the number of inputs needed to navigate the collection to find media items. Reducing the number of inputs needed to perform an operation enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
[0247] [0247] In some embodiments, a recurring temporal event (e.g., the first recurring temporal event) is related to another recurring temporal event (e.g., the third recurring temporal event) based on representing a day that includes the current time with respect to different time intervals. For example, an exemplary first recurring temporal event can represent a day of the year February 18 and be related to an exemplary third recurring temporal event that represents a day of the month that is the 18th day of the month because both include the current time, February 18,2019. In some embodiments, whether the first recurring temporal event is used or the third recurring temporal event is used to select the fifth representative media item (e.g., 615D in FIG. 6F) depends on whether the first recurring temporal event is associated with a significant event. For example, if the first recurring temporal event is a signification event (e.g., birthday) associated with a person characteristic, then the person characteristic of the significant event can also be used to select a media item that depicts the person from within the appropriate sub-period 92
[0248] [0248] In some embodiments, one or more representations of other time periods (e.g., time periods that do not correspond to the location of the third input) continue to be displayed (e.g., unchanged in response to the third input) while navigating through sub-periods of the first time period (e.g., in FIG. 6F, tiles 614A and 614C remain unchanged in response to user input 616). For example, in response to a press and hold that is dragged horizontally on a representation of the year 2018 (e.g., an exemplary third input), the electronic device (e.g., 600) replaces the representative media item displayed in the first region from being a representative media item from a first month (e.g., an exemplary first sub-period) with a representative media item from a second month (e.g., an exemplary second sub-period); however, representations for the years 2017 and 2019 can remain displayed and unchanged (as shown in FIG. 6F).
[0249] [0249] In some embodiments, the third input (e.g., 616) is a press and hold gesture that is dragged in the first direction (e.g., to the right as shown in FIGS. 6E-6F) while contact is maintained with the one or more input devices. In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 600) navigates (e.g., scrolls) in a first direction (e.g., to the right) in response to the third input including movement in the first direction. In some embodiments, the device scrolls in a second direction (e.g., opposite the first; to the left) in response to the third input including movement in the second direction.
[0250] [0250] In some embodiments, while the third input (e.g., 616) including the movement in the first direction (e.g., to the right) continues to be detected (e.g., contact on the input device(s) is 93
[0251] [0251] Outputting a tactile output as navigation between sub-period representative media items occurs provides improved feedback to the user while holding a navigation gesture by revealing the internal state of the device to the user and that the device has responded to user input. Providing improved feedback enhances the operability of the device and makes the user- device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
[0252] [0252] In some embodiments, while a representative media item (e.g., 615E in FIG. 6G) from a fourth sub-period (e.g., April 2018) of the plurality of sub-periods (e.g., months of 2018) other than the first sub-period (e.g., February 2018) is displayed in the first region (e.g., 614B-1 in FIG. 6G) (e.g., a representative media item different than the original representative media item is currently displayed as the representative media item): in accordance with a determination that the third input (e.g., 616) is no longer detected (e.g., lift off from the one or more input devices): the electronic device (e.g., 600) ceases to navigate through the plurality of sub-periods (e.g., months) included within the first time period (e.g., 2018), and maintains (e.g., after determining that the third input is no longer detected, after detecting lift off of the third input), in the first region (e.g., 614B-1 in FIG. 6H), display of the representative media item (e.g., 615E in FIG. 6H) from the fourth sub-period of the plurality of sub-periods other than the first sub-period (e.g., February 2018) is displayed in the first region. In some embodiments, an input (e.g., 624 in FIG. 6H) representing selection (e.g., a tap) of the representative media item (e.g., 615E in FIG. 6H) displayed upon ceasing to navigate causes the device to display a second view (e.g., 626 in FIGS. 61-6J) of the collection of media items that includes concurrently displayed representations (e.g., 626A, 626B, and 626C) of a plurality of representative media items (e.g., 628A, 615E, and 615D) for a plurality of the two or more sub-periods (e.g., March 2018, April 2018, and May 2018 as shown in FIG. 6J) (e.g., changes from a years view to a months view). In some embodiments, the selected representative media item (e.g., 615E in FIG. 6H) is included 95
[0253] [0253] Maintaining display of a representative media item from a sub-period in accordance with the third input no longer being detected provides a quick way to switch between representative media items for different sub-periods with a smaller number of inputs. Reducing the number of inputs needed to perform an operation enhances the operability of the electronic device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the electronic device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the electronic device more quickly and efficiently.
[0254] [0254] In some embodiments, the current time (e.g., February 17, 2019) is associated with the first recurring temporal event (e.g., user's daughter’s birthday). The electronic device (e.g., 600) receives, via the one or more input devices, a fourth input (e.g., 614) (e.g., an upward swipe, a downward swipe) that includes movement in a second direction (e.g., downward) (e.g., a vertical direction, different from the first direction) (e.g., substantially perpendicular to a sub- period navigation direction). In response to receiving the fourth input, navigating (e.g., scrolling) the first view (e.g., 608 in FIGS. 6B-6C) of the collection of media items to display, via the display device, one or more other representations (e.g., 608D in FIG. 6C) of one or more respective other time periods (e.g., 2016) different from the first time period (e.g., 2018) and from the second time period (e.g., 2017), wherein each of the one or more other representations of the one or more respective other time periods includes a respective region (e.g., 608D-1) that is occupied by a respective representative media item (e.g., 609D) from the respective other time period (e.g., 2016), the respective representative media item selected based on the first recurring temporal event (e.g., user's daughter’s birthday).
[0255] [0255] In some embodiments, the first view (e.g., 614, 626) organizes the collection of media items using a first time-based grouping (e.g., media is presented grouped by year), and while displaying the first view of the collection of media items, the electronic device (e.g., 600) receives, via the one or more input devices, a fifth input (e.g., 624, 630) (e.g., a tap) that corresponds to selection of the representation (e.g., 614B, 626B) of the first time period (e.g., 2018, April 2018). In response to receiving the fifth input: in accordance with the first view representing a first level in a hierarchy of views (e.g., Years in the hierarchy of Years-Months- Days) (e.g., first view is years view 614), the electronic device (e.g., 600) displays, via the display device, a second view (e.g., 626) (e.g., changes from a years view to a months view) of the collection of media items that includes multiple different media items that are associated with corresponding dates and times, wherein the second view is different from the first view (e.g., 614), and wherein the second view presents the collection of media items organized by a second time-based grouping (e.g., media is presented grouped by month in 626); and in accordance with the first view representing a second level in a hierarchy of views (e.g., Months in the hierarchy of Years-Months-Days) (e.g., first view is months view 626) that is different than the first level, displaying, via the display device, a third view (e.g., days view 640) (e.g., changes from a months view to a days view) of the collection of media items that includes multiple different media items that are associated with corresponding dates and times, wherein the third view is different from the first view and the second view, and wherein the third view presents the collection of media items organized by a third time-based grouping (e.g., media is presented grouped by one or more days). In some embodiments, a time-based grouping is based on a time increment (e.g., year, month, week, day, or the like)
[0256] [0256] Displaying views of a collection of media items that are arranged in a hierarchy, each with a different time-based grouping, based on whether a selection is made at a particular level of the hierarchy, allows a user to step through logical presentations of media items automatically, depending on a current view’s level, in response to selection of a representation of time period. Performing an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when 97
[0257] [0257] In some embodiments, the current time (e.g., February 18, 2019) is associated with the first recurring temporal event (e.g., day of the year February 18) (e.g., day of the week, day of the month, holiday, birthday, anniversary, etc), and wherein displaying the second view (e.g, months view 626) comprises: concurrently displaying a representation (e.g., 626B in FIG. 6J) of a third time period (e.g., April 2018) and a representation (e.g., 626C of FIG. 6J) of a fourth time period (e.g., March 2018) that is different from the third time period, including: the representation of the third time period includes a third region (e.g., 626B-1) that is occupied by a seventh representative media item (e.g., 615E) from the third time period (e.g., taken during the time period) that is selected based on the first recurring temporal event (e.g., the same significant event, such as a birthday or anniversary) or a fourth recurring temporal event (e.g., day of the month of the 18th day of the month) (e.g., day of the month) related to the first recurring temporal event (e.g., February 18) (e.g., day of the year) (e.g., selected based on the date associated with the current time (current date, holiday, birthday, anniversary), day of the week associated with the current time, day of the month associated with the current time, a range of time/dates that include the current time), wherein the third time period is a sub-period included within the first time period (e.g., 2018); and the representation of the fourth time period includes a fourth region (e.g., 626C-1) that is occupied by an eighth representative media item (e.g, 615D) from the fourth time period (e.g., taken during the time period) that is selected based on the first recurring temporal event (e.g., the same significant event, such as a birthday or anniversary) or the fourth recurring temporal event related to the first recurring temporal event, wherein the fourth time period is a sub-period included within the first time period. In some embodiments, a recurring temporal event (e.g., the first recurring temporal event) is related to another recurring temporal event (e.g., the fourth recurring temporal event) based on representing a day that includes the current time with respect to different time intervals. For example, an exemplary first recurring temporal event can represent a day of the year February 18 and be related to an exemplary fourth recurring temporal event that represents a day of the month that is the 18th day of the month because both include the current time, February 18, 2019. In some embodiments, whether the first recurring temporal event is used or the fourth temporal 98
[0258] [0258] In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the fifth input (e.g, 624 in FIG. 6H) (e.g., corresponding to selection of the representation of the first time period) is received while the seventh representative media item (e.g., 615E) is displayed (e.g., alone) in the first region (e.g., 614B-1) of the representation (e.g., 614B) of the first time period (e.g., 2018) in the first view (e.g., 614 in FIG. 6H), the representation (e.g., 626B in FIG. 6J) of the third time period (e.g., April 2018) (e.g., that includes the seventh representation occupying the third region) is displayed at a first location (e.g., a central location, a visually emphasized location, or a location that is otherwise a visual focus of the second view) in the second view (e.g., tile 626B with media item 615E is displayed centered in months view 626 in FIG. 6J); and in accordance 99
[0259] [0259] In some embodiments, the representations (e.g., 626A, 626B, 626C) of time periods in the second view (e.g., 626 in FIG. 6J) are smaller than representations (e.g., 614A, 614B, 614C) of time periods in the first view (e.g., 614 in FIG. 6H). For example, the representations in view 614 that each represent a year are larger than representations in view 626 that each represent a month. The size of a representation of a time period can provide an intuitive visual indication of the current view (e.g., level in the hierarchy of views). In some embodiments, in response to selection (e.g., via input 624) of a representation (e.g., 614B in FIG. 6H) of a time period in the first view causes representations (e.g., 626A, 626C) of time periods that are sub- periods of the selected time period to animatedly emerge from the selected representation (e.g., to display the second view) (e.g., as shown in FIGS. 61-6J). For example, upon selection of a representation of a year, individual representations of the months of that particular year can appear to be created and/or emerge from the location of the selected year representation, which can provide a visual indication that the device is moving down a hierarchy of related views.
[0260] [0260] Displaying a representation of a time period that is a sub-period of another time period when a representation of the other time period is selected, and including the same representative media item, provides the user with feedback regarding the navigation operation. Providing improved feedback enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device 100
[0261] [0261] Displaying a representation of a time period that is a sub-period of another time period when a representation of the other time period is selected, and including the same representative media item, maintains the context of the user and thus reduces the number of inputs needed to navigate to a desired sub-period after moving between levels of a hierarchy of views. Reducing the number of inputs needed to perform an operation enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
[0262] [0262] In some embodiments, the current time (e.g., February 18, 2019) is associated with the first recurring temporal event (e.g., 18th day of the month) (e.g., day of the week, day of the month, holiday, birthday, anniversary, etc.), and wherein displaying the third view (e.g., days view 640 in FIG. 6K) comprises: displaying, via the display devices, a plurality of representations (e.g., 640C, 640B, 640D) of media items (e.g., 615E, 642A, 642B) from the first time period (e.g., April 2018) (e.g., fewer than all (e.g., a curated set) from the first time period, or all photos from the first time period).
[0263] [0263] In some embodiments, while displaying the plurality of representations (e.g., 640C, 640B, and 640C in FIG. 6K) of media items from the first time period (e.g., April 2018), the electronic device (e.g., 600) receives, via the one or more input devices, a sixth input (e.g., 648 in FIG. 6K) (e.g., a swipe, a scroll). In response to receiving the sixth input, the electronic device (e.g., 600) updates the third view (e.g., days view 640 scrolls as shown in FIGS. 6K-6M) of the collection of media items, including: transitioning the plurality of representations of media items from the first time period off of the display (e.g., 640C and 640B are no longer displayed in FIG. 6M) (e.g, scrolling, sliding, covering up, fading to black, ceasing to display); and displaying a plurality of representations (e.g., 640F and 640G in FIG. 6M) of media items (e.g, 101
[0264] [0264] In some embodiments, while displaying the plurality of representations of media items (e.g., 640F, 640G in FIG. 6M) from the first time period (e.g., May 2018) in the third view (e.g., 640 in FIG. 6M), the electronic device (e.g., 600) receives, via the one or more input devices, a seventh input (e.g., 650 in FIG. 6M) (e.g., a tap) that corresponds to selection of a media item (e.g., 642D) of the plurality of representations of media items from the first time period. In response to receiving the seventh input, the electronic device (e.g., 600) replaces display of, via the display device, the third view (e.g., 640 in FIG. 6M) with display of a one-up view (e.g., 652 in FIG. 6N) of the selected media item (e.g., 642D) of the plurality of representations of media items from the first time period. In some embodiments, a one-up view includes an area (e.g., 652A) that includes a representation of a media item (e.g., 642D in FIG. 6N) displayed having larger dimensions than other representations concurrently displayed (e.g., in 652B) and/or larger dimensions than prior to being selected in another view (e.g., as displayed in representation 640G in days view 640 in FIG. 6M). In some embodiments, the area (e.g., 652A) occupies at least a threshold amount of display area (e.g., at least 75% of the display area). In some embodiments, a one-up view (e.g., 652) includes a scrubbing region (e.g., 652B) (e.g., outside of the area 652A) that includes representations of a plurality of media items from the media library (e.g., media items that are adjacent in the media library to the media item in the area 652A). In some embodiments, the representations in the scrubbing region are displayed at a smaller size than the representation in the area (e.g., 652A). In some embodiments, electronic device receives input (e.g., a directional gesture, a tap) (e.g., in scrubbing region 652B) and in response navigates between media items (e.g., changes which media item is displayed within the area 652A). The input can be a gesture (e.g., a directional swipe in the area; a tap or directional swipe in the scrubbing region).
[0265] [0265] In some embodiments, at a subsequent current time (e.g., February 19, 2019) that is subsequent to the current time (e.g., February 18, 2019): subsequent to receiving the first input (e.g., 606), the electronic device (e.g., 600) receives, via the one or more input devices, an eighth input (e.g., another input like 606). In response to receiving the eighth input, the electronic device (e.g., 600) displays, via the display device, the first view (e.g., a years view like 608 or 614, a months view like 626; a summarized view with less than all photos of a media library) of the collection of media items that are associated with corresponding dates and times (e.g., plurality of years, plurality of months), including concurrently displaying the representation (e.g., 614B) of the first time period (e.g., 2108) and the representation (e.g., 614C) of the second time period (e.g., 2017) that is different from the first time period, including: in accordance with a determination that the subsequent time is associated with a fifth recurring temporal event (e.g., day of the year February 19) (e.g., day of the week, day of the month, holiday, birthday, anniversary, etc.) that is different from the first recurring temporal event (e.g., day of the year February 18) and the second recurring temporal event (e.g., user's daughter’s birthday February 17): the first region (e.g., 614B-1) of the representation of the first time period is occupied by a ninth representative media item from the first time period (e.g., taken during the time period) that is selected based on the fifth recurring temporal event (e.g., selected based on the date associated with the current time (current date, holiday, birthday, anniversary), day of the week associated with the current time, day of the month associated with the current time, a range of time/dates that include the current time); and the second region (e.g., 614C-1) of the representation of the second time period is occupied by a tenth representative media item from the second time period (e.g., taken during the time period) that is selected based on the fifth recurring temporal event. For example, entering years view 614 on a different day subsequent to February 18, 2019 causes the same representations for the years 2018 and 2017 to be displayed, but with representative media items selected based a different recurring temporal event based on the subsequent date. In some embodiments, the first view is displayed at any number of times, having representative media items selected based on any number of recurring temporal events. For example, the electronic device (e.g., 600) can display the first view a successive number of occurrences (e.g., a different times), each occurrence including representative media items occupying the regions in respective representations of time periods (e.g., first time period, second time period, and so on) 103
[0266] [0266] Displaying a first view at different times that results in selection and display of different representative media items for the same time periods based on different particular recurring temporal events automatically provides dynamically and contextually relevant media items when viewing a collection of media items, reducing the burden of navigating through the collection to find such relevant media items. Performing an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
[0267] [0267] Note that details of the processes described above with respect to method 700 (e.g., FIG. 7) are also applicable in an analogous manner to the methods described below. For example, method 900 optionally includes one or more of the characteristics of the various methods described above with reference to method 700. For brevity, these details are not repeated below.
[0268] [0268] FIGS. 8A-8Q illustrate exemplary user interfaces for navigating a collection of media items, in accordance with some embodiments. The user interfaces in these figures are used to illustrate the processes described below, including the processes in FIG. 9.
[0269] [0269] FIGS. 8A-8D illustrate automatic playback of content in one view of a media library, but not in another view of the media library. FIG. 8A illustrates days view 640, which includes representation 640F of media item 642C from the time period May 1-2, 2018. At FIG. 8A, electronic device 600 receives user input 802 which is a swipe gesture in a downward direction representing a request to navigate days view 640 downward.
[0270] [0270] FIG. 8B illustrates days view 640 after a navigation operation (e.g., at a different scroll position than FIG. 8A). In this example, days view 640 is displayed as shown in FIG. 8B in response to receiving user input 802 at FIG. 8A. In FIG. 8B, representations of media items from the time period April 18-19, 2018 are now displayed, including representation 640C of media item 615E, representation 640D of media item 642A, and representation 640E of media item 642B. In some embodiments, a view (e.g., days view 640) automatically plays back content over time. In this example, media item 615E and media item 642A are associated with (e.g., include) content that can be played back over time. In some embodiments, content that can be played back over time is a video or a sequence of images (e.g., an animated media item). In FIG. 8B, media items 615E and 642A are displayed at a first time, and at a first state in their playback. Notably, representation 640E of media item 642B is also associated with content that can be played back over time.
[0271] [0271] FIG. 8C illustrates days view 640 at a second time, different than the first time of FIG. 8B. In this example, the second time is subsequent to the first time. As shown in FIG. 8C, representation 640C of media item 615E has changed—the horse in the image has moved its head—due to electronic device 600 automatically playing back the content associated with media item 615E (e.g., a sequence of images) over time. Likewise, representation 640D of media item 642A has changed—the child is now in a standing position and no longer is jumping with arms and legs extended from his sides—due to electronic device 600 automatically playing back the content associated with media item 642A (e.g., a sequence of images) over time.
[0272] [0272] In some embodiments, automatic playback of a media item’s content depends on a scrolling position of the representation of the media item. In some embodiments, automatic playback of the content begins based on the corresponding representation being displayed at a threshold location. For example, in FIG. 8A, representations 640C and 640D are not displayed, and in FIGS. 8B and 8C electronic device 600 has scrolled days view 640 downward to reveal representations 640C and 640D. While scrolling, for example, the content in representations 640C and 640D may not initially begin automatic playback upon first being displayed (e.g., entering view from the top of display 602), but begin playing upon reaching or crossing a threshold location (e.g., entering the middle 80% of the display area). In some embodiments, 105
[0273] [0273] In some embodiments, an electronic device (e.g., 600) automatically plays back content in fewer than all of the representations associated with content that can be played back over time. For example, in FIG. 8C, representation 640E of media item 642B has not changed from FIG. 8B. In this example, media item 642B is associated with content that can be played back over time (e.g., a video), but has not been played back over time automatically in FIGS. 8B- 8C.
[0274] [0274] In some embodiments, representations of media items that include content that is automatically played back are displayed at a larger size than representations of content that are not selected for automatic playback. For example, in days view 640 in FIGS. 8B and 8C, representations 640C and 640D (played back automatically) are displayed at a larger size than representation 640E (not played back automatically) as well as larger than the other representations (e.g., which are not associated with content that can be played back over time). In some embodiments, a representation of content selected for automatic playback is displayed larger (e.g., than one or more other representations) based on the representation being selected for automatic playback. For example, representations 640C and 640D can be displayed larger because they are selected for automatic playback. In some embodiments, a representation is selected for automatic playback based on the representation being displayed larger. For example, representations that have been selected to be displayed larger (e.g., based on other considerations, such as because it has been favorited by a user previously) are selected (and/or prioritized over other representations) because they are displayed larger. Thus, important and/or high-quality representations are selected for automatic playback, and are displayed larger for emphasis and improved viewing experience.
[0275] [0275] In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 600) concurrently displays two or more representations of media items automatically playing back content over time. For example, 106
[0276] [0276] In some embodiments, play back of content from two or more media items is concurrent (e.g., they play back at the same time). In some embodiments, play back of content from two or more media items is sequential (e.g., they play back one at a time). In some embodiments, play back of content of a media item repeats automatically (e.g., loops the content playback). In some embodiments, play back of content of a media item does not repeat (or repeats only a predetermined number of times) (e.g., plays back once then stops automatically playing back, without further input).
[0277] [0277] In some embodiments, an electronic device (e.g., 600) that displays a view (e.g., 640) selects the content to be automatically played back. In some embodiments, one or more remote devices (e.g., a server, a cloud-based service) selects the content to be automatically played back. In some embodiments, a combination of the displaying electronic device and one or more remote devices selects the content to be automatically played back.
[0278] [0278] At FIG. 8C, electronic device 600 receives user input 804 representing selection of affordance 610D in ribbon 610. Affordance 610D is associated with an all photos view.
[0279] [0279] FIG. 8D illustrates an exemplary all photos view 810. For example, electronic device 600 displays all photos view 810 in response to user input 804. As shown in FIG. 8D, affordance 610D indicates the current view is an all photos view (e.g., as indicated by the text “All Photos”). In some embodiments, an all photos view (e.g., 810) includes representations of a non-curated set of media items from a media library (e.g., all media items from the media library). For example, days view 640 can include representations of a curated set of media items from the time period April 18-19, 2018 (e.g., a selected number of fewer than all of the media items from those days), and all photos view can include representations of a non-curated set of the media items from the time period April 18-19, 2018 (e.g., all of the media items from those days). For example, in FIG. 8E, all photos view includes a representation 810G of a media item that was not depicted in the days view 640.
[0280] [0280] In some embodiments, representations of media items in a days view are arranged chronologically. In some embodiments, the chronological arrangement in a days view is based on times that media items were captured (e.g., by an imaging device, represented in metadata of the media item) (e.g., rather than when the media item was added to the media library).
[0281] [0281] In some embodiments, representations of media items in an all photos view are arranged chronologically. In some embodiments, the chronological arrangement is based on times that media items were added to the media library. For example, a media item that includes metadata indicating that it was captured on January 1, 2014, but was added to (e.g., saved to) the media library on December 1, 2016 would be chronologically ordered using the December 1, 2016 date. This can occur, for example, where a media item is saved at a date later than its captured date because a copy of the media item was received from another user who captured it previously—thus, the time when the media item is added does not necessarily coincide with the time that the media item was captured, which would be substantially similar when an electronic device both captures the media item and stores it to the media library (e.g., immediately thereafter). In such example, representations of media items in the all photos view would be arranged such that a given representation would have been added to the media library after an adjacent representation in one direction (e.g., a neighboring representation to the left, in the case of a left to right ascending date arrangement) and before another adjacent representation in the 108
[0282] [0282] In some embodiments, media items from first time period are grouped (e.g., in a days view, in an all photos view) with media items of a second time period (e.g., adjacent to the first time period) if one or more of the first time period and the second time period do not include more than a threshold amount of media items. In some embodiments, time periods for a plurality of time periods (e.g., adjacent to each other) are grouped until the combined group includes more than a threshold amount of media items. For example, media items from April 18, 2018 and April 19, 2018 are grouped together into the combined time period April 18-19, 2018 (even though they represent separate days) in exemplary days view 640 in FIG. 8B. In some embodiments, representations of media items are arranged grouped by time period (e.g., April 18-19, 2018) but not displayed strictly chronologically (e.g., layout is optimized for presentation of important items) within those groups (e.g., the left to right, top to bottom order of media items in 640 at FIG. 8B is different than the left to right, top to bottom order of media items in 810 in FIG. 8E). In some embodiments, a days view (e.g., 640) and an all photos view (e.g., 810) are arranged differently. For example, in a days view (e.g., 640), representations of media items are arranged grouped by time period (e.g., April 18-19, 2018) but not displayed strictly chronologically (e.g., layout is optimized for presentation of important items) within those groups, whereas an all photos view (e.g., 810) can have all of the media items arranged chronologically (e.g., the order that representations are presented corresponds to the actual chronology used to arrange). For example, in all photos view 810, time and date for a given representation always ascends (e.g., is more recent) when moving to the right and/or down, in the case of a left to right and top to bottom ascending date arrangement, but this is not necessarily true for view 640.
[0283] [0283] In some embodiments, representations in an all photos view (e.g., 810) are displayed as a multi-column multi-row array (e.g., a grid). In some embodiments, representations in an all photos view (e.g., 810) are displayed at a uniform size. For example, as shown in FIG. 8D, the representations of media items (e.g., 810A, 810B, 810C) are displayed at a uniform size in a grid (e.g., each having the same width and/or each having the same height).
[0284] [0284] In some embodiments, an all photos view includes metadata. For example, in FIG. 8E, the dates April 18-19 are displayed at the top. In some embodiments, the displayed metadata indicates corresponds to the media items at a particular location on the display. For example, in FIG. 8E, the metadata April 18-19 corresponds to the media items closest to the top edge of the display. In some embodiments, metadata is displayed based on zoom level. For example, electronic device 600 can forgo displaying metadata if a zoom level is too high (e.g., zoomed in) and/or too low (e.g., zoomed out, as in FIGS. 8F-8G).
[0285] [0285] FIGS. 8D-8E illustrate scrolling of an all photos view. In some embodiments, an all photos view (e.g., 810) is navigable (e.g., scrollable). At FIG. 8D, electronic device 600 receives user input 812 which is a vertical downward swipe gesture representing a request to scroll all photos view 810.
[0286] [0286] At FIG. 8E, electronic device 600 has scrolled all photos view 810 in response to user input 812. In some embodiments, an all photos view is navigable (e.g., scrollable) to display representations of an entire media library. For example, all photos view 810 can be continually scrolled (e.g., vertically) to display a representation of each of the media items that are included in the media library—that is, a user can navigate through their entire media library in the all photos view.
[0287] [0287] In some embodiments, an all photos view (e.g., 810) includes a media selection affordance (e.g., 810D) that, in response to selection, causes the device (e.g., 600) to enter a selection mode for selecting media items. For example, all photos view 810 in FIG. 8E includes a media selection affordance 810D that causes electronic device 600, in response to user input representing selection of 810D, to enter a selection mode allowing selection of one or more of 110
[0288] [0288] FIGS. 8E-8I illustrate adjusting a zoom level of an all photos view. In some embodiments, an electronic device (e.g., 600) adjusts a zoom level of an all photos view in response to receiving user input. For example, in FIG. 8E, electronic device 600 receives user input 814 which is a two-contact pinch gesture representing a request to zoom out. An all photos view can be initially displayed (e.g., a default display at a default zoom level) (e.g., in response to selection of 610D) at any level of zoom (e.g., in a multi-column multi-row array having any number of columns and/or rows).
[0289] [0289] FIG. 8F illustrates all photos view 810 after having zoomed out. In response to receiving user input 814 in FIG. 8E, electronic device 600 has zoomed out all photos view 810 as shown in FIG. 8F. In some embodiments, zooming (e.g., in or out) an all photos view includes re-arranging representations of media items. In some embodiments, re-arranging representations of media items includes changing one or more spacing dimensions (e.g., horizontal width, vertical height). For example, in FIG. 8E, all photos view 810 included an array having three columns of media items (e.g., along the short axis of electronic device 600), and in FIG. 8F zooming out included changing the number of columns to six (e.g., number of representations went up, the width of each media item went down). For further example, in FIG. 8E, all photos view 810 included an array having six rows of media items (e.g., along the long axis of electronic device 600), and in FIG. 8F zooming out included changing the number of rows to ten (e.g., number of representations went up, the height of each media item went down). In some embodiments, changing the one or more spacing dimensions includes changing one or more dimensions of the representations of media items arranged within the view. For example, representations (e.g., 810A, 810B, 810C) of media items from FIG. 8E have been made smaller in both height and width. In some embodiments, re-arranging representations of media items includes changing layout positioning of representations of media items. For example, media items in all photos view 810 in FIG. 8E that were not displayed in the same row are now displayed in the same row in FIG. 8F after zooming out—thus, the relative layout of media items has changed due to the grid dimensions changing and the constraint of maintaining chronological 111
[0290] [0290] In some embodiments, a request to zoom an all photos view is received as a user input selection associated with an affordance. For example, affordance 810E of FIG. 8E can be selected to cause all photos view 810 to be zoomed out. As another example, affordance 810F of FIG. 8E can be selected to cause all photos view 810 to be zoomed in.
[0291] [0291] In some embodiments, an all photos view can be zoomed to be a multi-column multi- row array of any size (e.g., any number of columns, any number of rows). For example, by allowing the all photos view to be zoomed in or out to varying numbers of columns and/or numbers of rows, a highly-customizable navigation experience is achieved that allows a user to efficiently navigate a collection of media items. For example, at FIG. 8F, electronic device receives user input 816 which is a two-contact pinch gesture representing a request to zoom out (again). FIG. 8G illustrates all photos view 810 after having zoomed out further. In response to receiving user input 816 in FIG. 8F, electronic device 600 has zoomed out all photos view 810 as shown in FIG. 8G. As shown in FIG. 8G, the multi-column multi-row array has a width of ten media items, and the representations of media items have been re-arranged (e.g., made smaller). 112
[0292] [0292] In some embodiments, a view (e.g., 810) snaps to fully-displayed representations in response to a request to zoom. For example, as shown in FIG. 8F, each row in all photos view 810 includes the full width of each representation, rather than having a portion of a representation (e.g., on the right edge) partially cut off. In other words, the view fits a plurality of representations across one or more dimensions (e.g., width, height) of the viewable area of the display 602. In some embodiments, a view includes partially displayed representations of one or more representations (e.g., in the vertical dimension along a navigable axis, scrolling can cause partially representations).
[0293] [0293] FIGS. 8G-81 illustrate exemplary zooming in of an all photos view. At FIG. 8G, electronic device (e.g., 600) receives user input 818 which is a two-contact de-pinch gesture representing a request to zoom in. In response to receiving user input 818 in FIG. 8G, electronic device 600 has zoomed in all photos view 810 as shown in FIG. 8H. As shown in FIG. 8H, all photos view has zoomed in from being arranged in a multi-column multi-row array with a number of columns (width) of ten media items (FIG. 8G) to being arranged in a multi-column multi-row array with a number of columns (width) of two media items. As shown in FIG. 8H, the multi-column multi-row array has a number of columns (width) of two media items, and the representations (e.g., 8101, 810J) of media items have been re-arranged (e.g., made bigger, re- flowed to maintain sequential order of the view that is chronological left to right and then top to bottom). In some embodiments, to zoom in, the representations shown in all photos view 810 of FIG. 8G are selected based on a location of user input 818 of FIG. 8G. In response to receiving user input 818, electronic device 600 determines a location based on user input 818 (e.g., identifies a location directly between the two touch inputs) and a representation corresponding to the location (e.g., displayed at that identified location or closest representation to the identified location). The device identifies a region on the display at FIG. 8G at which the representation corresponding to the identified location is being displayed. When updating to display all photos view 810 of FIG. 8H, electronic device 600 arranges the representations such that the representation corresponding to the identified location is displayed at an updated region on the 113
[0294] [0294] In some embodiments, an all photos view can be arranged as a grid having a single media item width. For example, in FIG. 8H electronic device 600 receives user input 820 which is a tap representing selection of affordance 810F, representing a request to zoom in. In response to receiving user input 820, electronic device 600 has zoomed in all photos view 810 as shown in FIG. 81. As shown in FIG. 8I, the multi-column multi-row array is zoomed into a single-item array (e.g., an array with one column, and one or more rows) (e.g., an array with one row, and one or more columns) that has a width of one media item, and the representations (e.g., 8101, 810J, 810K) of media items have been re-arranged vertically (e.g., which includes making the representations larger).
[0295] [0295] As noted above, an all photos view can be navigable. FIGS. 81-8] illustrate scrolling of the single-item array all photos view 810. At FIG. 81, electronic device 600 receives user input 822 which is a swipe gesture in an upward direction representing a request to scroll upward. At FIG. 8], in response to receiving user input 822, electronic device 600 has scrolled the all photos view 810 upward to display other representations (e.g., representation 8101). As can be seen in FIGS. 81-8], the single-item array all photos view 810 maintains the same ordering of media items from the media library as shown in the more zoomed out states such as FIGS. 8D-8H, except as an array with a single column.
[0296] [0296] FIGS. 8J-8L illustrate using a directional swipe gesture on a displayed representation to perform one or more actions. In some embodiments, a directional swipe gesture (e.g., 824, 826) at a location of a displayed representation (e.g., 810I) of a media item (e.g., 810L) causes the electronic device (e.g., 600) to perform an action related to the media item. For example, at FIG. 8], electronic device 600 receives user input 824 which is a directional swipe gesture to the right that begins at a location associated with representation 8101 of media item 810L. In response to receiving user input 824, electronic device 600 causes deletion of the media item 810L associated with representation 810I from the media library. As another example, in 114
[0297] [0297] As another example of an action performed in response to a directional swipe gesture, in response to receiving user input 826 at FIG. 8J which is a directional swipe gesture to the left, electronic device 600 causes the media item 810L associated with representation 810I to be marked as a favorite media item (e.g., by updating metadata in the media library). As another 115
[0298] [0298] In some embodiments, electronic device (e.g., 600) performs an action, of two or more actions, in response to a directional swipe, wherein which action (of the two or more actions) is performed depends on the direction of the directional swipe. For example, electronic device 600 can perform the one or more actions associated with deleting the media item 810L represented by representation 810 in response to user input 824 (e.g., a swipe to the right on representation 8101), and perform the one or more actions associated with marking the media item 810L represented by representation 810I as a favorite in response to user input 826 (e.g., a swipe to the left on representation 8101).
[0299] [0299] FIGS. 8M-8N illustrate an exemplary technique for entering a one-up view from an all photos view. In this example, all photos view 810 in FIG. 8M is in the same state as shown in FIG. 8I (e.g., prior to electronic device 600 receiving user input 822). In some embodiments, in response to receiving user input (e.g., 830 in FIG. 8M) associated with a location of a displayed representation (e.g., 810K) of a media item (e.g., 642D), the electronic device (e.g., 600) displays a one-up view (e.g., 652) of the media item (e.g., 642D). For example, in FIG. 8M, electronic device 600 receives user input 830 which is a tap at a location associated with representation 810K of media item 642D and, in response to receiving user input 830 displays one-up view 652 as shown in FIG. 8N. As shown in FIG. 8N, media item 642D is displayed in area 652A in an enlarged size. At FIG. 8N, electronic device 600 receives user input 832 which is a directional swipe gesture in an upward direction.
[0300] [0300] FIG. 80 illustrates an exemplary one-up view that includes exemplary regions for viewing and modifying information associated with a media item. For example, one-up view 652 in FIG. 80 includes a plurality of regions 652D-652G for viewing and/or editing 116
[0301] [0301] In some embodiments, a caption region (e.g., 652D) includes display of one or more captions associated with the media item. For example, caption region 652D includes a heading SCAPTION”) and caption text (“JANE IN WATERFALL PARK”) associated with the media item 642D (e.g., saved with the media item in the media library). In some embodiments, selection of a location associated with the caption region (e.g., within it) causes the electronic device (e.g., 600) to display an interface for editing (e.g., adding, modifying, and/or deleting) a caption associated with the media item. For example, in response to user input selection of the heading “CAPTION” in region 652D, or the text “JANE IN WATERFALL PARK”, electronic device 600 can display a text entry interface (e.g., a text entry marker and a keyboard) for editing the caption text. In some embodiments, the caption region includes an affordance that, when selected, causes display of the text entry interface for editing the caption text.
[0302] [0302] In some embodiments, a tag region (e.g., 652E) includes display of one or more tags (e.g., keywords, hashtags) associated with the media item. For example, tag region 652E includes a heading “TAGGING”) and tags (FWATERFALL, #PARK, and #SUNNY) associated with the media item 642D (e.g., saved with the media item in the media library). In some embodiments, selection of a location associated with the tag region (e.g., within it) causes the electronic device (e.g., 600) to display an interface for editing (e.g., adding, modifying, and/or deleting) a tag associated with the media item. For example, in response to user input selection of the heading “TAGGING” in region 652E, electronic device 600 can display a text entry interface (e.g., a text entry marker and a keyboard) for editing the caption text. In some embodiments, the tagging region includes an affordance that, when selected, causes display of the text entry interface for editing a tag. In some embodiments, in response to user input selection of a tag in a tag region, the electronic device displays representations of one or more media items that are associated with the selected tag. For example, in response to selection of 117
[0303] [0303] As shown in FIG. 80, one-up view 652 also includes people region 652F, which includes indicators for one or more individuals depicted in the media item 642D in area 652A. In this example, people region 652F includes person indicator 652H identifying the woman in the phots as Jane. In some embodiments, in response to user input selection of a person indicator, the electronic device displays representations of one or more media items that depict the individual associated with the selected person indicator. For example, in response to selection of the person indicator 652H associated with Jane in people region 652F, electronic device 600 can display a view (e.g., similar to a days view, similar to an all photos view, or in another presentation) of representations of media items that also include Jane.
[0304] [0304] As shown in FIG. 80, one-up view 652 also includes places region 652G, which includes a map and indicator for a geographic location associated with the media item 642D in area 652A (e.g., where the media item was taken). In this example, places region 652G includes map 652I that includes an indicator of the location that media item 642D was captured (e.g., as determined based on geographic location information in metadata associated with the media item in the media library). In some embodiments, in response to user input selection of the map, the electronic device displays a larger representation of the map and/or one or more media items (or indicators thereof) from one or more similar geographic locations.
[0305] [0305] In some embodiments, one-up view 652 is scrollable (e.g., vertically) to display one or more regions. For example, an upward directional swipe at one-up view 652 in FIG. 80 (e.g., swipe up on region 652E) can display one or more regions or reveal more of a partially displayed region. For example, in response to an upward swipe, electronic device 600 can scroll the regions upward and display more of the partially-displayed map 652I in places region 652G.
[0306] [0306] FIGS. 8P-8Q illustrate changing representations of media items in a view from having uniform aspect ratios to having the actual respective aspect ratios of the represented media items.
[0307] [0307] FIG. 8P illustrates exemplary all photos view 810 that has representations of media items arranged in a multi-column multi-row array and having uniform aspect ratios (e.g., each representation has the same width and/or height). In this example, each representation shown (e.g., 810I and 810K) in FIG. 8P has the same width and height. In this example, all photos view 810 is displayed in a landscape view (e.g., in response to detecting rotation of the device to be substantially horizontal). In some embodiments, other views (e.g., 608, 614, 626, 640) can be displayed in a landscape view. In some embodiments, a view (e.g., 810) includes an affordance (e.g., 810M) for causing display of representations in the actual aspect ratios of their underlying media items. For example, in FIG. 8P, all photos view 810 includes full frame affordance 810M. In some embodiments, the affordance (e.g., 810M) for causing display of representations in the actual aspect ratios of their underlying media items is displayed in accordance with one or more conditions being met. In some embodiments, the conditions include one or more of: that the representations are currently being displayed having uniform aspect ratios, that the electronic device (e.g., 600) is currently in a specific orientation (e.g., in a horizontal landscape mode), that the electronic device (e.g., 600) is a particular type of electronic device (e.g., the affordance is displayed on some devices but not others), and that the electronic device (e.g., 600) includes a display that meets display dimension criteria (e.g., the affordance is displayed on a device with a large display, but not on a device with a small display). For example, affordance 810M is displayed in response to electronic device 600 being placed in landscape mode (e.g., turned horizontally, as detected by one or more accelerometers).
[0308] [0308] FIG. 8Q illustrates exemplary all photos view 810 that has representations of media items displayed in the actual aspect ratios of their underlying media items (e.g., each representation has an aspect ratio that is not necessarily the same as the other representations). In this example, electronic device 600 displays all photos view 810 in FIG. 8Q in response to receiving user input 854 representing selection of full frame affordance 810M. As shown, the uniform aspect ratio representations of FIG. 8P have transitioned to be replaced with representations of varying aspect ratios, which represent the actual aspect ratios of the underlying media item of each respective representation. For example, representation 810K in FIG. 8Q has a shorter width than representation 810K in FIG. 8P, since the media item was taken in a portrait style (e.g., aspect ratio having longer vertical height dimension than horizontal width). In some 119
[0309] [0309] In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 600) displays an affordance (e.g., 810N) for displaying representations in an arrangement having uniform aspect ratios. For example, in FIG. 8Q, electronic device 600 has replaced full frame affordance 810M with grid affordance 810N in response to receiving user input 854. For further example, in response to receiving selection of affordance 810N at FIG. 8Q, electronic device 600 can return to the display of the all photos view 810 as shown in FIG. 8P, with representations having uniform aspect ratios.
[0310] [0310] FIG. 9 is a flow diagram illustrating a method for navigating a collection of media items using an electronic device in accordance with some embodiments. Method 900 is performed at a device (e.g., 100, 300, 500) with a display device and one or more input devices. Some operations in method 900 are, optionally, combined, the orders of some operations are, optionally, changed, and some operations are, optionally, omitted.
[0311] [0311] As described below, method 900 provides an intuitive way for navigating a collection of media items. The method reduces the cognitive burden on a user for navigating a collection of media items, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated computing devices, enabling a user to navigate a collection of media items faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.
[0312] [0312] The electronic device (e.g., 600) displays (e.g., 902), via the display device, a first plurality of representations (e.g., 640F and 640G in FIG. 8A) of media items (e.g., 642C and 642D in FIG. 8A) in a first view (e.g., days view 640 in FIG. 8A) of a collection of media items (e.g., the collection comprising media items 642C, 642D, 615E, 642A, and 642B in FIGS. 8A- 8B) (e.g., a media library; media items from a particular time period, such as a day or an event (e.g., multiple days)), wherein a plurality of media items (e.g., 615E, 642A, and 642B in FIG. 8B) in the collection of media items include content that can be played back over time (e.g., videos or sequences of images).
[0313] [0313] While displaying the first plurality of representations (e.g., 640F and 640G in FIG. 8A) of media items (e.g., 642C and 642D in FIG. 8A) in the first view (e.g., days view 640 in FIG. 8B), the electronic device (e.g., 600) receives (904), via the one or more input devices, a first input (e.g., 802) (e.g., a swipe to scroll) that corresponds to a request to navigate (e.g, scroll) through a portion of the first view of the collection of media items that includes representations (e.g., 640C, 640D, and 640E in FIG. 8B) of two or more media items (e.g., 615E, 642A, and 642B) that include content that can be played back over time (e.g., videos or sequences of images).
[0314] [0314] In response to receiving the first input (e.g., 802), the electronic device (e.g., 600) navigates (906) through (e.g., scrolls, pans) the first view (e.g., 640) of the collection of media items (e.g., scrolls view 640 down as shown in FIGS. 8A-8B) and while navigating through the first view of the collection of media items automatically playing content from two or more (e.g., 615E and 642A as shown in FIGS. 8B-8C) of the media items in the plurality of media items (e.g., 615E, 642A, and 642B in FIG. 8B). For example, in response to input 802, electronic device 600 scrolls day view 640 from the state shown in FIG. 8A to the state shown in FIG. 8B, then automatically plays media items 615E and 642A as shown in FIGS. 8B to 8C (e.g., showing the representations of both media items change from being played back over time).
[0315] [0315] After navigating through the first view (e.g., 640) of the collection of media items, the electronic device (e.g., 600) receives (908), via the one or more input devices, a second input (e.g., 804) (e.g., tap on an affordance, such as an All Photos affordance) that corresponds to a request to switch to a second view (e.g., all photos view 810) of the collection of media items.
[0316] [0316] In response to receiving the second input (e.g., 804), the electronic device (e.g., 600) displays (910) a second plurality of representations (e.g., 810A, 810B, 810C in FIG. 8D) (e.g, can be representations of the same media items as the first view, or of a different a set (e.g, superset or subset) of media items from the collection in the first view; can be different aspect ratios, sizes, ordering, etc.) of media items (e.g., 615E, 642A, 642B in FIG. 8D) in the second view (e.g., all photos view 810 in FIG. 8D) of the collection of media items.
[0317] [0317] While displaying the second plurality of representations (e.g., 810A, 810B, 810C in FIG. 8D) of media items (e.g., 615E, 642A, 642B in FIG. 8D) in the second view (e.g., all photos view 810 in FIG. 8D) of the collection of media items, the electronic device (e.g., 600) receives (912), via the one or more input devices, a third input (e.g., 812) (e.g., a swipe to scroll) that that corresponds to a request to navigate (e.g., scroll) through a portion of the second view of the collection of media items that includes representations of two or more media items (e.g., 615E and 642A) (e.g., the same two or more as in the first view, or a different two or more) that include content that can be played back over time (e.g., videos or sequences of images).
[0318] [0318] In response to receiving the third input (e.g., 812), the electronic device (e.g., 600) navigates (914) through (e.g., scrolls view 810 as shown in FIGS. 8D-8E) the second view of the collection of media items without automatically playing content from media items in the plurality of media items (e.g., does not automatically play back content from media items 615E and 642A). For example, no media items that can be played back over time are automatically played in an all photos view (e.g., 810).
[0319] [0319] Automatically playing back content in a first view of a collection of media items, but not in a second view of a collection of media items provides the user with different interface options for viewing media items that result automatically depending on the selected view. Performing an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
[0320] [0320] In some embodiments, the plurality of media items in the collection (e.g., 615E, 642A, and 642B) (e.g., media items that include content that can be played back over time) includes at least one media item (e.g., 642B) that includes content that can be played back over time that is not selected for automatic playback (e.g., media item 642B is not played back in FIGS. 8B-8C), and wherein the at least one media item is different from the two or more media items (e.g., 615E and 642A). For example, at least one video/sequence of images is not automatically played back (e.g., in days view 640). While navigating through the collection of media items, the electronic device (e.g., 600) forgoes automatically playing content from the at least one media item (e.g., media item 642B is not played back in FIGS. 8B-8C) of the plurality of media items that is not selected for automatic playback. In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 600) prevents more than a predetermined number (e.g., one, two, or three) of the plurality of media items from playing back at the same time. For example, in FIGS. 8B-8C, only two media items 615E and 642A are played back at a time.
[0321] [0321] Forgoing automatically playing content from at least one media item avoids distracting a user, as well as reduces power usage by playing back fewer media items concurrently. Performing an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
[0322] [0322] In some embodiments, the two or more media items (e.g., 615E and 642A) that are selected for automatic playback are displayed larger than the one or more media items not selected for automatic playback (e.g., 642B) (e.g., larger in at least one respective dimension) (e.g., automatic playing content is larger in x-direction dimension, in y-direction dimension, or in both). For example, in days view 640 in FIGS. 8B-8C, media items 615E and 642A (selected for automatic playback) are displayed larger than 642B (not selected). In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that media items are selected for automatic playback, displaying the media items selected for automatic playback includes displaying the media items at a size 123
[0323] [0323] Displaying automatically played back content larger than content that is not automatically played back allows the user to view the played content more easily without requiring further input. Performing an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
[0324] [0324] In some embodiments, the two or more media items (e.g., 615E and 642A) are selected for automatic playback based on the two or more media items having a higher priority than other media items (e.g., 642B) that are not selected for automatic playback. In some embodiments, a media items is prioritized (e.g., selected) for automatic playback based on one or more of the following: whether the media item has been favorited by user, image quality of the media item (e.g., high quality images have priority), length of the media item (e.g., a sequence of images or a video) (e.g., longer media items have priority), image composition of the media item (e.g., whether the media item depicts a well-composed scene, such as one in which subjects are centered and visible and exposure is correct, and the like), action that occurs during the media item (e.g., movement within the image frame is prioritized over a video in which the subject remains still), and persons depicted in the media item (e.g., the user and/or their family get priority over others persons).
[0325] [0325] In some embodiments, displaying representations (e.g., 810A, 810B, 810C in FIG. 8D) of media items (e.g., 615E, 642A, 642B in FIG. 8D) in the second view (e.g., 810 in FIG. 8D) of the collection of media items comprises: displaying, via the display device, the 124
[0326] [0326] In some embodiments, subsequent to receiving the fourth input (e.g., 814, 818), the electronic device (e.g., 600) receives, via the one or more input devices, a fifth input (e.g., 816, 820) (e.g., de-pinch, tap on a zoom in affordance). In response to receiving the fifth input: in accordance with a determination that the fifth input corresponds to a request to zoom in (e.g., is input 820, a tap on zoom affordance 810F) (e.g., input is a de-pinch, input is a selection of a zoom in affordance) while displaying the representations of media items in the second view having the second spacing (e.g., all photos view 810 as shown in FIG. 8H) (e.g., a second zoom in request), the electronic device (e.g., 600) re-arranges the representations of media items in the second view to have a fourth spacing (e.g., changes all photos view 810 from FIG. 8H to FIG. 81), including: reducing one or more of: the number of displayed rows of representations of media items, and the number of displayed columns of representations of media items (e.g., in FIG. 8I, the number of displayed rows (three) and columns (one) has changed from the number of rows (four) and columns (two) in FIG. 8H); and increasing sizes (e.g., height and/or width) of the representations of media items in the second view (e.g., in FIG. 81, the sizes of the displayed representations have increased from FIG. 8H). In response to receiving the fifth input: in accordance with a determination that the fifth input corresponds to a request to zoom out (e.g., is 126
[0327] [0327] In some embodiments, re-arranging the representations of media items in the second view (e.g., 810) to have the second spacing includes re-arranging the representations of media items in the second view into a single-item array of representations of media items (e.g., as shown in FIG. 81) (e.g., a column that is vertically scrollable, or a row that is horizontally scrollable). While displaying the single-item array of representations of media items, the electronic device (e.g., 600) receives, via the one or more input devices, a sixth input (e.g., 822, 824, 826) (e.g., vertical swipe, horizontal swipe) at a location of a representation (e.g., 810I in FIG. 8J) of a first media item (e.g., 810L) from the collection of media items. In response to receiving the sixth input: in accordance with a determination that the sixth input represents a swipe (e.g., 1s input 822, a downward swipe) gesture in a first direction (e.g., vertically, up, down), the electronic device (e.g., 600) navigates (e.g., scrolls) through the collection of media items to display a representation of a second media item from the collection of media items (e.g., changes all photos view from FIG. 8I to FIG. 8J) (e.g., scrolls the single-item width array to reveal a new media item). In some embodiments, the single-item width array can be scrolled in multiple directions (e.g., up or down). In accordance with a determination that the sixth input represents a swipe (e.g., is input 824, 826; a horizontal swipe) gesture in a second direction (e.g, horizontally, left, right) different from (e.g., perpendicular to or substantially perpendicular to) the first direction (e.g., down), the electronic device (e.g., 600) performs an action (e.g., marks for deletion; marks as a favorite) associated with the first media item. In some embodiments, the 127
[0328] [0328] Re-arranging representations of media items into a single-item width array in response to a request to zoom in provides an intuitive way for the user to enter such an arrangement easily and without requiring additional controls or gestures. Providing additional control options without cluttering the UI with additional displayed controls enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
[0329] [0329] Using a directional gesture to either navigate or modify a property of a media item, depending on the direction, allows the user an intuitive way to perform either action without requiring additional controls or gestures. Providing additional control options without cluttering the UI with additional displayed controls enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
[0330] [0330] In some embodiments, navigating through the first view (e.g., 640) of the collection of media items comprises scrolling the collection of media items in the first view (e.g., scrolling 640 from FIG. 8A to FIG. 8B). In some embodiments, automatically playing content from two or more of the media items (e.g., 615E and 642A as shown in FIGS. 8B-8C) in the plurality of media items while navigating through the collection of media items comprises, while scrolling the collection of media items in the first view: automatically playing content from a first media item (e.g., 615E) of the two or more media items (e.g., 615E and 642A as shown in FIGS. 8B- 8C) based at least in part on a scroll position of the first media item in the first view (e.g., a media item begins playing upon reaching a predetermined position on the display) (e.g., media item 615E begins playback upon reaching a predetermined position as all photos view 640 is scrolled in response to input 802). In some embodiments, other factors affect whether a media item begins automatically playing, including whether a predetermined number of media items are already automatically playing. For example, the device can automatically playback no more than the predetermined number of media items (e.g., two at a time), and thus any media item in excess of the predetermined number would not begin playing back until at least one of the other media items ceases to be played back.
[0331] [0331] Automatically playing content based on a scroll position provides an intelligent interface that takes into account the likelihood that a media item is at an appropriate location on a display. Performing an operation when a set of conditions has been met without requiring further user input enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes 129
[0332] [0332] In some embodiments, while scrolling the collection of media items in the first view (e.g., scrolling 640 from FIG. 8A to FIG. 8B), and while automatically playing content from the first media item (e.g., 615E) of the two or more media items (e.g., 615E and 642A as shown in FIGS. 8B-8C): the electronic device (e.g., 600) automatically plays content from a second media item (e.g., 642A) of the two or more media items (e.g., 615E and 642A as shown in FIGS. 8B- 8C) based at least in part on a scroll position of the second media item in the first view; and ceases to automatically play content from the first media item (e.g., 615E) of the two or more media items while continuing to display a representation of the first media item of the two or more media items. In some embodiments, the first media item ceases automatically playing based at least in part on a scroll position. For example, in response to the second media item (e.g., 642A) reaching a scroll position that causes it to automatically playback, or in response to the first media item (e.g., 615E) reaching a different scroll position associated with ceasing automatic playback, the first media item ceases automatically playing. In some embodiments, the first media item ceases automatically playing in response to reaching a second predetermined scrolling position (e.g., different than the scrolling position that caused it to begin automatically playing) (e.g., begins playing upon appearing on the display during navigation and ceases playing just before being scrolled off the display as navigation continues).
[0333] [0333] In some embodiments, media items (e.g., 615E, 642A, 642B in FIG. 8C) that are displayed in the first view (e.g., 640) of the collection of media items are selected so as to exclude one or more media items that are displayed in the second view (e.g., 810) of the collection of media items (e.g., by excluding media items that are similar to each other) (e.g., all photos view 810 includes media items that are not included in days view 640). For example, the second view (e.g., 810) can include representations for every media item in the media library (e.g., accessible by scrolling the second view), whereas the first view (e.g., 640) includes a subset of fewer than the media items included in the second view.
[0334] [0334] In some embodiments, the first plurality of representations (e.g., 640C, 640D, 640E in FIG. 8C) of media items (e.g., 615E, 642A, 642B) in the first view (e.g., 640) include representations that are at least two different sizes (e.g., aspect ratios and/or dimensions) (e.g., in FIG. 8C, representations having different sizes are displayed), and the second plurality of representations (e.g., 810A, 810B, 810C in FIG. 8D) of media items (e.g., 615E, 642A, 642B) in the second view (e.g., 810) include representations that are each uniform in size (e.g., have the same dimensions) (e.g., in FIG. 8D, representations that are each the same size are displayed). For example, all displayed representations of media items in the second plurality of representations of media items in the second view are displayed at the same size.
[0335] [0335] In some embodiments, while displaying either the first view (e.g., 640) or the second view (e.g., 810): the electronic device (e.g., 600) receives, via the one or more input devices, a seventh input (e.g., selection of media item 842D in 8A, 8H, or 8J) (e.g., 830) (e.g., a tap) that corresponds to selection of a representation (e.g., 810K in FIG. 8M) of a media item (e.g., 642D). In response to receiving the seventh input, the electronic device (e.g., 600) replaces display of, via the display device, the first view or the second view with display of a one-up view (e.g., 652 as shown in FIG. 8N) of the selected media item (e.g., 642D).
[0336] [0336] In some embodiments, while displaying the one-up view (e.g., 652 in FIG. 8N) of the selected media item (e.g., 642D), receiving, via the one or more input devices, an eighth input (e.g., 832) (e.g., an upward swipe). In response to receiving the eighth input, and while continuing to display at least a portion of the selected media item (e.g., in area 642D as shown in FIG. 80): in accordance with a determination that the eighth input is a swipe gesture in a third direction (e.g., up), displaying, via the display device, one or more options (e.g., 652D, 652E in FIG. 80) (e.g., affordances, text entry fields) for entering information (e.g., one or more captions, one or more tags) to associate with the selected media item. In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 600) receives entry of information (e.g., a caption, a tag) via the one or more options (e.g., selection of the option and character input thereafter), and causes the entered information to be stored and associated with the selected media item. In some embodiments, the one or more options includes an affordance (e.g., 652D, 652E), a text entry field, or other graphical element that can be selected and/or indicate that information can be entered. In some 131
[0337] [0337] Using a directional gesture to access options for entering information for a displayed media item provides the user with an intuitive way to perform a relevant operation on a media item without requiring additional controls or gestures. Providing additional control options without cluttering the UI with additional displayed controls enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
[0338] [0338] In some embodiments, while displaying either the first view (e.g., 640) of the collection of media items or the second view (e.g., 644) of the collection of media items, the electronic device (e.g., 600) displays, via the display device, an indication (e.g., 644) ofa boundary between a first set of media items (e.g., media items from a first day, or first range of dates) (e.g., media items from May 1-2 in FIG. 8A) of the collection of media items and a second set of media items (e.g., media items from a second day, or second range of dates) (e.g., media 132
[0339] [0339] Displaying an indication of a boundary between different sets of media items helps a user identify boundary between groups of objects and enables faster navigation by providing improved feedback. Providing improved feedback enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
[0340] [0340] In some embodiments, displaying the indication (e.g., 644) of the boundary between the first set of media items (e.g., media items from May 1-2 in FIG. 8A) of the collection of media items and the second set of media items (e.g., media items from April 18-19 in FIG. 8A) comprises, concurrently displaying: at least a portion of the second set of media items with a 133
[0341] [0341] In some embodiments, displaying media items having a dimmed appearance includes displaying the media items having an overlay (e.g., a color, a mask) having a non-zero level of opacity (e.g., such that it obscures at least some of the visual information of the media items). For example, indication 644 can be an overlay of a gray color with a slight opacity. In some embodiments, the dimmed appearance has a dynamic opacity that is progressive and based on a position (e.g., while navigating through representations) associated with the media items being displayed with the dimmed appearance. In some embodiments, the opacity increases as the position associated with the media items being displayed with the dimmed appearance (e.g., a leading edge or boundary) moves (e.g., scrolls) in response to user input (e.g., 648, 802, 812, 822). For example, the second set of media items can be displayed with a dimmed appearance that increases in opacity (e.g., increasing the level of obscuring of the underlying media item) as a boundary between the second set of media items and the first set of media items moves (e.g, while scrolling) past a predetermined location (e.g., not displayed) on the display, toward a near 134
[0342] [0342] Displaying non-currently viewed media items with a dimmed appearance provides the user improved feedback regarding the currently viewed media items (e.g., boundary information) and improved feedback regarding the non-currently viewed media items (e.g., are still partially visible). Providing improved feedback enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.
[0343] [0343] In some embodiments, displaying the indication (e.g., 644) of the boundary between the first set of media items (e.g., media items from May 1-2 in FIG. 8A) of the collection of media items and the second set of media items (e.g., media items from April 18-19 in FIG. 8A) comprises displaying metadata (e.g., for the first set and/or for the second set) (e.g., 646A, 646B in FIG. 8A). In some embodiments, the electronic device (e.g., 600) displays metadata for the second set (e.g., 646A), when the second set is not a currently viewed set of media items (e.g, as shown in FIG. 8A), in the area with the dimmed appearance (e.g., area with indication 644) (e.g., overlaid on the media items of the second set).
[0344] [0344] In some embodiments, while displaying a third set of representations (e.g., the representations in FIG. 8P, including representations 810I and 810K) of media items from the collection of media items (e.g., in view 810) (e.g., in the second view) (e.g., in an all photos view) (e.g., in the first view) (e.g., in view 640) (e.g., in a days view), the electronic device (e.g., 135
[0345] [0345] Transitioning representations from a uniform aspect ratio to actual aspect ratios provides the user the ability to see the actual aspect ratios of media without requiring an excessive number of inputs. Reducing the number of inputs needed to perform an operation enhances the operability of the device and makes the user-device interface more efficient (e.g., by helping the user to provide proper inputs and reducing user mistakes when operating/interacting with the device) which, additionally, reduces power usage and improves battery life of the device by enabling the user to use the device more quickly and efficiently.

For example, the personal information data can be used to present targeted content that is of greater interest to the user. Accordingly, use of such personal information data enables users to calculated control of the presented content. Further, other uses for personal information data that benefit the user are also contemplated by the present disclosure. For instance, health and fitness data may be used to provide insights into a user’s general wellness, or may be used as positive feedback to individuals using technology to pursue wellness goals.
[0352] [0352] The present disclosure contemplates that the entities responsible for the collection, analysis, disclosure, transfer, storage, or other use of such personal information data will comply with well-established privacy policies and/or privacy practices. In particular, such entities should implement and consistently use privacy policies and practices that are generally recognized as meeting or exceeding industry or governmental requirements for maintaining personal information data private and secure. Such policies should be easily accessible by users, and should be updated as the collection and/or use of data changes. Personal information from users should be collected for legitimate and reasonable uses of the entity and not shared or sold outside of those legitimate uses. Further, such collection/sharing should occur after receiving the informed consent of the users. Additionally, such entities should consider taking any needed steps for safeguarding and securing access to such personal information data and ensuring that others with access to the personal information data adhere to their privacy policies and 161
[0353] [0353] Despite the foregoing, the present disclosure also contemplates embodiments in which users selectively block the use of, or access to, personal information data. That is, the present disclosure contemplates that hardware and/or software elements can be provided to prevent or block access to such personal information data. For example, in the case of media content presentation services, the present technology can be configured to allow users to select to “opt in” or “opt out” of participation in the collection of personal information data during registration for services or anytime thereafter. In addition to providing “opt in” and “opt out” options, the present disclosure contemplates providing notifications relating to the access or use of personal information. For instance, a user may be notified upon downloading an app that their personal information data will be accessed and then reminded again just before personal information data is accessed by the app.
[0354] [0354] Moreover, it is the intent of the present disclosure that personal information data should be managed and handled in a way to minimize risks of unintentional or unauthorized access or use. Risk can be minimized by limiting the collection of data and deleting data once it is no longer needed. In addition, and when applicable, including in certain health related applications, data de-identification can be used to protect a user's privacy. De-identification may be facilitated, when appropriate, by removing specific identifiers (e.g., date of birth, etc.), controlling the amount or specificity of data stored (e.g., collecting location data a city level rather than at an address level), controlling how data is stored (e.g., aggregating data across users), and/or other methods.
[0355] [0355] Therefore, although the present disclosure broadly covers use of personal information data to implement one or more various disclosed embodiments, the present disclosure also contemplates that the various embodiments can also be implemented without the need for accessing such personal information data. That is, the various embodiments of the present technology are not rendered inoperable due to the lack of all or a portion of such personal information data. For example, content can be selected and presented to users by inferring preferences based on non-personal information data or a bare minimum amount of personal information, such as the content being requested by the device associated with a user, other non- personal information available to the content presentation services, or publicly available information.
