| 20090138827 | Portable Electronic Device with Interface Reconfiguration Mode - A portable electronic device displays a plurality of icons (e.g., graphical objects) in a region in a touch-sensitive display; detects a predefined user action, with respect to the touch-sensitive display, for initiating a predefined user interface reconfiguration process; and varies positions of one or more icons in the plurality of icons in response to detecting the predefined user action. The varying includes varying the positions of the one or more icons about respective average positions. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20090174680 | Portable Multifunction Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Viewing and Managing Electronic Calendars - In accordance with some embodiments, a computer-implemented method is performed at a portable multifunction device with a touch screen display. The touch screen display includes a long axis, a short axis, a portrait view and a landscape view. The computer-implemented method includes executing a calendar application. In response to detecting the portable multifunction device in a first orientation that comprises a substantially vertical orientation of the long axis, a calendar is displayed for a first time period in the portrait view. In response to detecting the portable multifunction device in a second orientation that comprises the substantially vertical orientation of the short axis, a calendar is displayed for a second time period in the landscape view. The second time period is longer than and includes the first time period. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090241072 | Unlocking a Device by Performing Gestures on an Unlock Image - A device with a touch-sensitive display may be unlocked via gestures performed on the touch-sensitive display. The device is unlocked if contact with the display corresponds to a predefined gesture for unlocking the device. The device displays one or more unlock images with respect to which the predefined gesture is to be performed in order to unlock the device. The performance of the predefined gesture with respect to the unlock image may include moving the unlock image to a predefined location and/or moving the unlock image along a predefined path. The device may also display visual cues of the predefined gesture on the touch screen to remind a user of the gesture. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20090327920 | Application User Interface with Navigation Bar Showing Current and Prior Application Contexts - A graphical user interface for a portable electronic device includes an application display region that displays a current application context of an application and a navigation bar adjacent to the application display region. The navigation bar includes two horizontally adjacent regions, comprising a current context region for displaying an indicator of the current application context and a prior context region for displaying an indicator of an application context preceding the current application context. The application display region simulates shifting of the application display in a first direction upon detecting user selection of the prior context region, and simulates shifting of the application display in a second direction, opposite the first direction, upon detecting user selection of an application context different from the current application context and the prior application context. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100060586 | PORTABLE TOUCH SCREEN DEVICE, METHOD, AND GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE FOR PROVIDING WORKOUT SUPPORT - In some embodiments, a computer-implemented method is performed at a portable electronic device with a touch screen display while the portable electronic device is in a user-interface locked mode of a workout monitoring application with the touch screen display turned off. The method includes: monitoring a workout by a user with the workout monitoring application; detecting an interaction by the user with a first physical button on the portable electronic device; and determining whether the detected interaction by the user with the first physical button corresponds to a first predefined action. The method further includes, in response to determining that the interaction by the user with the first physical button corresponds to the first predefined action; turning on the touch screen display; providing an audio status report of the workout by the user; displaying a workout pause icon; and displaying an unlock image. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20100235746 | Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Editing an Audio or Video Attachment in an Electronic Message - A method is performed at a multifunction device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface. User selection of an audio or video file to be sent in an electronic message is detected. In response to detecting a first input by the user, an audio or video file editing interface is displayed. The editing interface comprises: a time bar, a user-adjustable begin-edit icon, and a user-adjustable end-edit icon. The distance between the user-adjustable begin-edit icon and the user-adjustable end-edit icon is constrained to be equal to or less than a distance that corresponds to a predefined maximum allowable size for the file. In response to detecting a second input by the user on the touch-sensitive surface, at least one of the begin-edit icon and the end-edit icon is adjusted in the audio or video file editing interface. The audio or video file is edited to a shorter. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20110163969 | Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface with Content Display Modes and Display Rotation Heuristics - A method is performed at a multifunction device with a touch-sensitive display. The method includes: playing a first piece of content in a full-size mode on the display at a predefined aspect ratio; while playing the first piece of content on the display in the full-size mode, detecting a first gesture on the display; in response to detecting the first gesture: shrinking the playing of the first piece of content to a first region of the display while keeping the predefined aspect ratio and displaying information related to the first piece of content in a second region of the display. | 07-07-2011 |
| 20110163972 | Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Interacting with a Digital Photo Frame - A multifunction device with a touch-sensitive display displays an unlock image on the touch-sensitive display and concurrently displays a slide show initiation icon while the device is in a user-interface locked mode. The unlock image is a graphical user interface object with which the user interacts in order to transition the multifunction device to a user-interface unlocked mode. The device detects a first user input while the multifunction device is in the user-interface locked mode and presenting a slide show, and in response to detecting the first user input, displays the unlock image and the slide show initiation icon. When the device detects user activation of the slide show initiation icon, it presents the slide show on the touch-sensitive display and maintains the device in the user-interface locked mode. | 07-07-2011 |
