EXAMPLE DEVICES

[0032] Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the — various described embodiments. However, it will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art that the various described embodiments may be practiced without these specific details.

In other instances, well-known methods, procedures, components, circuits, and networks have not been described in detail so as not to unnecessarily obscure aspects of the embodiments.

[0033] It will also be understood that, although the terms first, second, etc. are, in some instances, used herein to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another. For example, a first contact could be termed a second contact, and, similarly, a second contact could be termed a first contact, without departing from the scope of the various — described embodiments. The first contact and the second contact are both contacts, but they are not the same contact, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0034] 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.

[0035] As used herein, the term “if” is, 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 is determined” or “if [a stated condition or event] is detected” is, optionally, construed to mean “upon determining” or “in response to

. DK 180979 B1 determining” or “upon detecting [the stated condition or event]” or “in response to detecting [the stated condition or event],” depending on the context.

[0036] 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. Example 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).

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 respective application. In this way, a common physical architecture — (such as the touch-sensitive surface) of the device optionally supports the variety of applications with user interfaces that are intuitive and transparent to the user.

DK 180979 B1 10

[0040] Attention is now directed toward embodiments of portable devices with touch-sensitive displays. Figure 1A is a block diagram illustrating portable multifunction device 100 with touch-sensitive display system 112 in accordance with some embodiments. Touch-sensitive display system 112 is sometimes called a “touch screen” for convenience, and is sometimes simply called a touch-sensitive display. 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 or control devices 116, and external port 124. Device 100 optionally includes one or more optical sensors 164. Device 100 optionally includes one or more intensity sensors 165 for detecting intensities 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.

[0041] As used in the specification and claims, the term “tactile output” refers to physical displacement of a device relative to a previous position of the device, physical displacement of a component (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface) of a device relative to another component (e.g., housing) of the device, or displacement of the component relative to a center of mass of the device that will be detected by a user with the user’s sense of touch. For example, in situations where the device or the component of the device is in contact with a surface of a user that is sensitive to touch (e.g., a finger, palm, or other part of a — user's hand), the tactile output generated by the physical displacement will be interpreted by the user as a tactile sensation corresponding to a perceived change in physical characteristics of the device or the component of the device. For example, movement of a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch-sensitive display or trackpad) is, optionally, interpreted by the user as a “down click” or “up click” of a physical actuator button. In some cases, a — user will feel a tactile sensation such as an “down click” or “up click” even when there is no movement of a physical actuator button associated with the touch-sensitive surface that is physically pressed (e.g., displaced) by the user's movements. As another example,

1] DK 180979 B1 movement of the touch-sensitive surface is, optionally, interpreted or sensed by the user as “roughness” of the touch-sensitive surface, even when there is no change in smoothness of the touch-sensitive surface. While such interpretations of touch by a user will be subject to the individualized sensory perceptions of the user, there are many sensory perceptions of touch that are common to a large majority of users. Thus, when a tactile output is described as corresponding to a particular sensory perception of a user (e.g., an “up click,” a “down click,” "roughness”), unless otherwise stated, the generated tactile output corresponds to physical displacement of the device or a component thereof that will generate the described sensory perception for a typical (or average) user. Using tactile outputs to provide haptic — feedback to a user 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 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.

[0042] 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 Figure IA are implemented in hardware, software, firmware, or a combination thereof, including — one or more signal processing and/or application specific integrated circuits.

[0043] 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. Access to memory 102 by other components of device 100, such as CPU(s) 120 and the peripherals interface 118, is, optionally, controlled by memory controller 122.

[0044] Peripherals interface 118 can be used to couple input and output peripherals of the device to CPU(s) 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.

2 DK 180979 B1

[0045] In some embodiments, peripherals interface 118, CPU(s) 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.

[0046] RF (radio frequency) circuitry 108 receives and sends RF signals, also called electromagnetic signals. RF circuitry 108 converts electrical signals to/from electromagnetic signals and communicates with communications networks and other communications devices via the electromagnetic signals. RF circuitry 108 optionally includes well-known circuitry for performing these functions, including but not limited to an antenna system, an RF transceiver, one or more amplifiers, a tuner, one or more oscillators, a digital signal processor, a CODEC chipset, a subscriber identity module (SIM) card, memory, and so forth. RF circuitry 108 optionally communicates with networks, such as the Internet, also referred to as the World Wide Web (WWW), an intranet and/or a wireless network, such as a cellular telephone network, a wireless local area network (LAN) and/or a metropolitan area network (MAN), and other devices by wireless communication. The wireless communication optionally uses any of a plurality of communications standards, protocols and technologies, including but not limited to Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), Enhanced Data GSM Environment (EDGE), high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA), high-speed uplink packet access (HSUPA), Evolution, Data-Only (EV-DO), HSPA, HSPA+, Dual-Cell HSPA (DC-HSPDA), long term evolution (LTE), near field communication (NFC), wideband code division multiple access (W-CDMA), code division multiple access (CDMA), time division multiple access (TDMA), Bluetooth, Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) (e.g., IEEE 802. 11a, IEEE 802. 1 lac, IEEE 802.11ax, IEEE 802. 11b, IEEE

802. 11g and/or IEEE 802.11n), voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), Wi-MAX, a protocol for e-mail (e.g., Internet message access protocol (IMAP) and/or post office protocol —(POP)), instant messaging (e.g., extensible messaging and presence protocol (XMPP), Session Initiation Protocol for Instant Messaging and Presence Leveraging Extensions (SIMPLE), Instant Messaging and Presence Service (IMPS)), and/or Short Message Service (SMS), or any other suitable communication protocol, including communication protocols not yet developed as of the filing date of this document.

[0047] 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

DK 180979 B1 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. Audio circuitry 110 converts the electrical signal to audio data and transmits the audio data to peripherals interface 118 for processing. Audio data is, optionally, retrieved from and/or transmitted to memory 102 and/or RF circuitry 108 by peripherals interface 118. In some embodiments, audio circuitry 110 also includes a headset jack (e.g., 212, Figure 2). The headset jack provides an interface between audio circuitry 110 and removable audio input/output peripherals, such as output-only headphones or a headset with both output (e.g., a headphone for one or both ears) and input (e.g, a microphone).

[0048] I/O subsystem 106 couples input/output peripherals on device 100, such as touch-sensitive display system 112 and other input or control devices 116, with peripherals interface 118. I/O subsystem 106 optionally includes display controller 156, optical sensor controller 158, 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 or control devices 116. The other input or 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 with any (or none) of the following: a keyboard, infrared port, USB port, stylus, and/or a pointer device such as a mouse. The one or more buttons (e.g., 208, Figure 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, Figure 2).

[0049] Touch-sensitive display system 112 provides an input interface and an output interface between the device and a user. Display controller 156 receives and/or sends electrical signals from/to touch-sensitive display system 112. Touch-sensitive display system 112 displays visual output to the user. The visual output optionally includes graphics, text, icons, video, and any combination thereof (collectively termed “graphics”). In some embodiments, some or all of the visual output corresponds to user interface objects. — As used herein, the term “affordance” refers to a user-interactive graphical user interface object (e.g., a graphical user interface object that is configured to respond to inputs directed toward the graphical user interface object). Examples of user-interactive graphical user

1 DK 180979 B1 interface objects include, without limitation, a button, slider, icon, selectable menu item, switch, hyperlink, or other user interface control.

[0050] Touch-sensitive display system 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- sensitive display system 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-sensitive display system 112 and converts 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-sensitive display system 112. In an example embodiment, a point of contact between touch-sensitive display system 112 and the user corresponds to a finger of the user or a stylus.

[0051] Touch-sensitive display system 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-sensitive display system 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-sensitive — display system 112. In an example embodiment, projected mutual capacitance sensing technology is used, such as that found in the iPhone®, iPod Touch®, and iPad& from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California.

[0052] Touch-sensitive display system 112 optionally has a video resolution in excess of 100 dpi. In some embodiments, the touch screen video resolution is in excess of — 400 dpi (e.g., 500 dpi, 800 dpi, or greater). The user optionally makes contact with touch- sensitive display system 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 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.

10062] 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 in some iPhone®, iPod

In some embodiments, the external port is a Lightning connector that is the same as, or similar to and/or compatible with the Lightning connector used in some iPhone®, iPod Touch®, and iPad& devices from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California.

10063] Contact/motion module 130 optionally detects contact with touch-sensitive display system 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 (e.g., by a finger or by a stylus), such as determining if contact has occurred (e.g., detecting a finger-down event), determining an intensity of the contact (e.g., the force or pressure of the contact or a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact), determining if there is movement of the contact and tracking the movement across the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., detecting one or more finger-dragging events), and determining if the contact has ceased (e.g., detecting a finger-up event or a break in contact). Contact/motion module — 130 receives contact data from the touch-sensitive surface. Determining movement of the point of contact, which is represented by a series of contact data, optionally includes determining speed (magnitude), velocity (magnitude and direction), and/or an acceleration (a change in magnitude and/or direction) of the point of contact. These operations are, optionally, applied to single contacts (e.g., one finger contacts or stylus contacts) or to — multiple simultaneous contacts (e.g., “multitouch”/multiple finger contacts). In some embodiments, contact/motion module 130 and display controller 156 detect contact on a touchpad.

[0064] Contact/motion module 130 optionally detects a gesture input by a user. Different gestures on the touch-sensitive surface have different contact patterns (e.g., — different motions, timings, and/or intensities of detected contacts). Thus, a gesture is, optionally, detected by detecting a particular contact pattern. For example, detecting a finger tap gesture includes detecting a finger-down event followed by detecting a finger-up (lift off) event at the same position (or substantially the same position) as the finger-down event (e.g., at the position of an icon). As another example, detecting a finger swipe gesture on the touch-sensitive surface includes detecting a finger-down event followed by detecting one or more finger-dragging events, and subsequently followed by detecting a finger-up (lift off)

DK 180979 B1 19 event. Similarly, tap, swipe, drag, and other gestures are optionally detected for a stylus by detecting a particular contact pattern for the stylus.

[0065] In some embodiments, detecting a finger tap gesture depends on the length of time between detecting the finger-down event and the finger-up event, but is independent of the intensity of the finger contact between detecting the finger-down event and the finger-up event. In some embodiments, a tap gesture is detected in accordance with a determination that the length of time between the finger-down event and the finger-up event is less than a predetermined value (e.g., less than 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 or 0.5 seconds), independent of whether the intensity of the finger contact during the tap meets a given intensity threshold — (greater than a nominal contact-detection intensity threshold), such as a light press or deep press intensity threshold. Thus, a finger tap gesture can satisfy particular input criteria that do not require that the characteristic intensity of a contact satisfy a given intensity threshold in order for the particular input criteria to be met. For clarity, the finger contact in a tap gesture typically needs to satisfy a nominal contact-detection intensity threshold, below which the contact is not detected, in order for the finger-down event to be detected. A similar analysis applies to detecting a tap gesture by a stylus or other contact. In cases where the device is capable of detecting a finger or stylus contact hovering over a touch sensitive surface, the nominal contact-detection intensity threshold optionally does not correspond to physical contact between the finger or stylus and the touch sensitive surface.

— [0066] The same concepts apply in an analogous manner to other types of gestures. For example, a swipe gesture, a pinch gesture, a depinch gesture, and/or a long press gesture are optionally detected based on the satisfaction of criteria that are either independent of intensities of contacts included in the gesture, or do not require that contact(s) that perform the gesture reach intensity thresholds in order to be recognized. For example., a swipe gesture is detected based on an amount of movement of one or more contacts; a pinch gesture is detected based on movement of two or more contacts towards each other; a depinch gesture is detected based on movement of two or more contacts away from each other; and a long press gesture is detected based on a duration of the contact on the touch- sensitive surface with less than a threshold amount of movement. As such, the statement that particular gesture recognition criteria do not require that the intensity of the contact(s) meet a respective intensity threshold in order for the particular gesture recognition criteria to be met means that the particular gesture recognition criteria are capable of being satisfied if

DK 180979 B1 20 the contact(s) in the gesture do not reach the respective intensity threshold, and are also capable of being satisfied in circumstances where one or more of the contacts in the gesture do reach or exceed the respective intensity threshold. In some embodiments, a tap gesture is detected based on a determination that the finger-down and finger-up event are detected — within a predefined time period, without regard to whether the contact is above or below the respective intensity threshold during the predefined time period, and a swipe gesture is detected based on a determination that the contact movement is greater than a predefined magnitude, even if the contact is above the respective intensity threshold at the end of the contact movement. Even in implementations where detection of a gesture is influenced by the intensities of contacts performing the gesture (e.g., the device detects a long press more quickly when the intensity of the contact is above an intensity threshold or delays detection of a tap input when the intensity of the contact is higher), the detection of those gestures does not require that the contacts reach a particular intensity threshold so long as the criteria for recognizing the gesture can be met in circumstances where the contact does not reach the particular intensity threshold (e.g., even if the amount of time that it takes to recognize the gesture changes).

[0067] Contact intensity thresholds, duration thresholds, and movement thresholds are, in some circumstances, combined in a variety of different combinations in order to create heuristics for distinguishing two or more different gestures directed to the same input — element or region so that multiple different interactions with the same input element are enabled to provide a richer set of user interactions and responses. The statement that a particular set of gesture recognition criteria do not require that the intensity of the contact(s) meet a respective intensity threshold in order for the particular gesture recognition criteria to be met does not preclude the concurrent evaluation of other intensity-dependent gesture recognition criteria to identify other gestures that do have a criteria that is met when a gesture includes a contact with an intensity above the respective intensity threshold. For example, in some circumstances, first gesture recognition criteria for a first gesture — which do not require that the intensity of the contact(s) meet a respective intensity threshold in order for the first gesture recognition criteria to be met — are in competition with second gesture recognition criteria for a second gesture — which are dependent on the contact(s) reaching the respective intensity threshold. In such competitions, the gesture is, optionally, not recognized as meeting the first gesture recognition criteria for the first gesture if the

DK 180979 B1 21 second gesture recognition criteria for the second gesture are met first. For example, if a contact reaches the respective intensity threshold before the contact moves by a predefined amount of movement, a deep press gesture is detected rather than a swipe gesture. Conversely, if the contact moves by the predefined amount of movement before the contact reaches the respective intensity threshold, a swipe gesture is detected rather than a deep press gesture. Even in such circumstances, the first gesture recognition criteria for the first gesture still do not require that the intensity of the contact(s) meet a respective intensity threshold in order for the first gesture recognition criteria to be met because if the contact stayed below the respective intensity threshold until an end of the gesture (e.g., a swipe gesture with a contact that does not increase to an intensity above the respective intensity threshold), the gesture would have been recognized by the first gesture recognition criteria as a swipe gesture. As such, particular gesture recognition criteria that do not require that the intensity of the contact(s) meet a respective intensity threshold in order for the particular gesture recognition criteria to be met will (A) in some circumstances ignore the intensity of the contact with respect to the intensity threshold (e.g. for a tap gesture) and/or (B) in some circumstances still be dependent on the intensity of the contact with respect to the intensity threshold in the sense that the particular gesture recognition criteria (e.g., for a long press gesture) will fail if a competing set of intensity-dependent gesture recognition criteria (e.g., for a deep press gesture) recognize an input as corresponding to an intensity-dependent gesture before the particular gesture recognition criteria recognize a gesture corresponding to the input (e.g., for a long press gesture that is competing with a deep press gesture for recognition).

In some embodiments, memory 102 (in — Figures 1A) or 370 (Figure 3) includes event sorter 170 (e.g., in operating system 126) and a respective application 136-1 (e.g., any of the aforementioned applications 136, 137-155, 380-390).

[0096] 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 system 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.

[0097] 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.

[0098] 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 system 112, as part of a multi-touch gesture). Peripherals interface 118 transmits information it receives from I/O subsystem 106 or a sensor, such as proximity sensor 166, accelerometer(s) 168, and/or microphone 113 (through audio circuitry 110). Information that peripherals interface 118 receives from I/O subsystem 106 includes information from touch-sensitive display system 112 or a touch-sensitive surface.

[0099] In some embodiments, event monitor 171 sends requests to the peripherals interface 118 at predetermined intervals. In response, peripherals interface 118 transmits

DK 180979 B1 29 event information. In other embodiments, peripheral interface 118 transmits event information only when there is a significant event (e.g., receiving an input above a predetermined noise threshold and/or for more than a predetermined duration).

[00100] In some embodiments, event sorter 170 also includes a hit view determination module 172 and/or an active event recognizer determination module 173.

[00101] 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 system 112 displays more than one view. Views are made up of controls and other elements that a user can see on the display.

[00102] Another aspect of the user interface associated with an application is a set of views, sometimes herein called application views or user interface windows, in which information is displayed and touch-based gestures occur. The application views (of a respective application) in which a touch is detected optionally correspond to programmatic levels within a programmatic or view hierarchy of the application. For example, the lowest level view in which a touch is detected is, optionally, called the hit view, and the set of events that are recognized as proper inputs are, optionally, determined based, at least in part, on the hit view of the initial touch that begins a touch-based gesture.

[00103] 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 handle the sub-event. In most circumstances, the hit view is the lowest level view in which an initiating sub-event occurs (i.e., the first sub-event in the sequence of sub-events that form an event or potential event). Once the hit view is identified by the hit view determination module, the hit view typically receives all sub-events related tothe same touch or input source for which it was identified as the hit view.

[00104] 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

DK 180979 B1 30 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.

[00105] 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 module 182.

[00106] 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.

[00107] 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 respective application view 191 includes a plurality of event recognizers — 180. In other embodiments, one or more of event recognizers 180 are part of a separate module, such as a user interface kit (not shown) or a higher level object from which application 136-1 inherits methods and other properties. In some embodiments, a respective event handler 190 includes one or more of: data updater 176, object updater 177, GUI updater 178, and/or event data 179 received from event sorter 170. Event handler 190 optionally utilizes or calls data updater 176, object updater 177 or GUI updater 178 to update the application internal state 192. Alternatively, one or more of the application views 191 includes one or more respective event handlers 190. Also, in some embodiments, one or more of data updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178 are included in a respective application view 191.

[00108] 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

DK 180979 B1 31 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).

[00109] 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.

[00110] 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 end, touch movement, touch cancellation, and multiple touching. In one — example, the definition for event 1 (187-1) is a double tap on a displayed object. The double tap, for example, comprises a first touch (touch begin) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, a first lift-off (touch end) for a predetermined phase, a second touch (touch begin) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, and a second lift-off (touch end) for a predetermined phase. In another example, the definition for event 2 (187-2) is a dragging on a displayed object. The dragging, for example, comprises a touch (or contact) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, a movement of the touch across touch- sensitive display system 112, and lift-off of the touch (touch end). In some embodiments, the event also includes information for one or more associated event handlers 190.

[00111] 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

DK 180979 B1 32 example, in an application view in which three user-interface objects are displayed on touch-sensitive display system 112, when a touch is detected on touch-sensitive display system 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.

[00112] 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.

[00113] 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 active for the hit view continue to track and process sub- events of an ongoing touch-based gesture.

[00114] 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.

[00115] 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

“ DK 180979 B1 event handler 190 associated with the flag catches the flag and performs a predefined process.

[00116] 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.

[00117] 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 145. 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 updater 178 updates the GUI. For example, GUI updater 178 prepares display information and sends it to graphics module 132 for display on a touch- sensitive display.

[00118] 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.

[00119] It shall be understood that the foregoing discussion regarding event handling of user touches on touch-sensitive displays also applies to other forms of user inputs to operate multifunction devices 100 with input-devices, not all of which are initiated on touch screens. For example, mouse movement and mouse button presses, optionally coordinated with single or multiple keyboard presses or holds; contact movements such as taps, drags, scrolls, etc., on touch-pads; pen stylus inputs; movement of the device; oral instructions; detected eye movements; biometric inputs; and/or any combination thereof are optionally utilized as inputs corresponding to sub-events which define an event to be recognized.

— [00120] Figure 2 illustrates a portable multifunction device 100 having a touch screen (e.g., touch-sensitive display system 112, Figure 1A) in accordance with some

DK 180979 B1 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.

[00121] Device 100 optionally also includes 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 the touch-screen display.

[00122] In some embodiments, device 100 includes the touch-screen display, menu — button 204, push button 206 for powering the device on/off and locking the device, volume adjustment button(s) 208, Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card slot 210, head set 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 some embodiments, 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 intensities of contacts on touch-sensitive display system 112 and/or one or more tactile output generators — 167 for generating tactile outputs for a user of device 100.

DK 180979 B1

[00123] Figure 3 is a block diagram of an example 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 5 educational device (such as a child’s learning toy), a gaming system, or a control device (e.g., a home or industrial controller). Device 300 typically includes one or more processing units (CPU’s) 310, one or more network 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 above with — reference to Figure 1A), sensors 359 (e.g., optical, acceleration, proximity, touch-sensitive, and/or contact intensity sensors similar to contact intensity sensor(s) 165 described above with reference to Figure 1A). Memory 370 includes high-speed random access memory, such as DRAM, SRAM, DDR RAM or other random access solid state memory devices; and optionally includes non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic disk storage — devices, optical disk storage devices, flash memory devices, or other non-volatile solid state storage devices. Memory 370 optionally includes one or more storage devices remotely located from CPU(s) 310. In some embodiments, memory 370 stores programs, modules, and data structures analogous to the programs, modules, and data structures stored in memory 102 of portable multifunction device 100 (Figure 1A), or a subset thereof.

Furthermore, memory 370 optionally stores additional programs, modules, and data structures not present in memory 102 of portable multifunction device 100. For example, memory 370 of device 300 optionally stores drawing module 380, presentation module 382, word processing module 384, website creation module 386, disk authoring module 388, and/or spreadsheet module 390, while memory 102 of portable multifunction device 100 (Figure 1A) optionally does not store these modules.

[00124] Each of the above identified elements in Figure 3 are, optionally, stored in one or more of the previously mentioned memory devices. Each of the above identified

DK 180979 B1 36 modules corresponds to a set of instructions for performing a function described above. The above identified modules or programs (i.e., sets of instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs, procedures or modules, and thus various subsets of these modules are, optionally, combined or otherwise re-arranged in various embodiments. In some embodiments, memory 370 optionally stores a subset of the modules and data structures identified above. Furthermore, memory 370 optionally stores additional modules and data structures not described above.

[00125] Attention is now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces ("UI") that are, optionally, implemented on portable multifunction device 100.

[00126] Figure 4A illustrates an example 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: . Signal strength indicator(s) 402 for wireless communication(s), such as cellular and Wi-Fi signals; o Time 404; o Bluetooth indicator 405; . Battery status indicator 406; . Tray 408 with icons for frequently used applications, such as: o Icon 416 for telephone module 138, labeled “Phone,” which optionally includes an indicator 414 of the number of missed calls or voicemail messages; o Icon 418 for e-mail client module 140, labeled “Mail,” which optionally includes an indicator 410 of the number of unread e-mails; o Icon 420 for browser module 147, labeled “Browser;” and o Icon 422 for video and music player module 152, also referred to as iPod (trademark of Apple Inc.) module 152, labeled “iPod,” and . Icons for other applications, such as: o Icon 424 for IM module 141, labeled “Messages;”

DK 180979 B1 37 o Icon 426 for calendar module 148, labeled “Calendar;” o Icon 428 for image management module 144, labeled “Photos;” o Icon 430 for camera module 143, labeled “Camera;” o Icon 432 for online video module 155, labeled “Online Video,” o Icon 434 for stocks widget 149-2, labeled “Stocks;” o Icon 436 for map module 154, labeled "Map;” o Icon 438 for weather widget 149-1, labeled “Weather;” o Icon 440 for alarm clock widget 149-4, labeled “Clock;” o Icon 442 for workout support module 142, labeled “Workout Support;” o Icon 444 for notes module 153, labeled "Notes;” and o Icon 446 for a settings application or module, which provides access to settings for device 100 and its various applications 136.

[00127] It should be noted that the icon labels illustrated in Figure 4A are merely examples. For example, in some embodiments, icon 422 for video and music player module 1521s 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.

[00128] Figure 4B illustrates an example user interface on a device (e.g., device 300, Figure 3) with a touch-sensitive surface 451 (e.g., a tablet or touchpad 355, Figure 3) that is separate from the display 450. Device 300 also, optionally, includes one or more contact intensity sensors (e.g., one or more of sensors 357) for detecting intensities of contacts on touch-sensitive surface 451 and/or one or more tactile output generators 359 for generating tactile outputs for a user of device 300.

[00129] Figure 4B illustrates an example user interface on a device (e.g., device 300, Figure 3) with a touch-sensitive surface 451 (e.g., a tablet or touchpad 355, Figure 3) that is separate from the display 450. Although many of the examples that follow will be given

DK 180979 B1 38 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 Figure 4B) has a primary axis (e.g., 452 in Figure 4B) that corresponds to a primary axis (e.g., 453 in Figure 4B) on the display (e.g., 450). In accordance with these embodiments, the device detects contacts (e.g., 460 and 462 in Figure 4B) with the touch-sensitive surface 451 at locations that correspond to respective locations on the display (e.g., in Figure 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 Figure 4B) are used by the device to manipulate the user interface on the display (e.g., 450 in Figure 4B) of the multifunction device when the touch-sensitive surface is separate from the display. It should be understood that similar methods are, optionally, used for other user interfaces described herein.

[00130] Additionally, while the following examples are given primarily with reference to finger inputs (e.g., finger contacts, finger tap gestures, finger swipe gestures, etc.), 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 a 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.

[00131] As used herein, the term “focus selector” is 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 Figure 3 or touch-sensitive surface 451 in Figure 4B) while the cursor is over a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider or other user interface

DK 180979 B1 39 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 Figure 1A or the touch screen in Figure 4A) that enables direct interaction with user interface elements on the touch-screen display, a detected contact on the touch-screen acts as a “focus selector,” so that when an input (e.g., a press input by the contact) is detected on the touch-screen display at a location of a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider or other user interface element), the particular user interface element is adjusted in accordance with the detected input. In some implementations, focus is moved from one region of a user interface to another region of the — user interface without corresponding movement of a cursor or movement of a contact on a touch-screen display (e.g., by using a tab key or arrow keys to move focus from one button to another button); in these implementations, the focus selector moves in accordance with movement of focus between different regions of the user interface. Without regard to the specific form taken by the focus selector, the focus selector is generally the user interface element (or contact on a touch-screen display) that is controlled by the user so as to communicate the user’s intended interaction with the user interface (e.g., by indicating, to the device, the element of the user interface with which the user is intending to interact). For example, the location of a focus selector (e.g., a cursor, a contact, or a selection box) over a respective button while a press input is detected on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a — touchpad or touch screen) will indicate that the user is intending to activate the respective button (as opposed to other user interface elements shown on a display of the device).

[00132] 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 or a stylus 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 or a sum) to determine an estimated force of

DK 180979 B1 40 a contact. Similarly, a pressure-sensitive tip of a stylus is, optionally, used to determine a pressure of the stylus on the touch-sensitive surface. Alternatively, the size of the contact area detected on the touch-sensitive surface and/or changes thereto, the capacitance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate to the contact and/or changes thereto, and/or the resistance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate to the contact and/or changes thereto are, optionally, used as a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are used directly to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is described in units corresponding to the substitute measurements). In some implementations, the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are converted to an estimated force or pressure and the estimated force or pressure is used to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is a pressure threshold measured in units of pressure). Using the intensity of a contact as an attribute of a user input allows for user access to additional device functionality that may — otherwise not be readily accessible by the user on a reduced-size device with limited real estate for displaying affordances (e.g., on a touch-sensitive display) and/or receiving user input (e.g., via a touch-sensitive display, a touch-sensitive surface, or a physical/mechanical control such as a knob or a button).

[00133] In some embodiments, contact/motion module 130 uses a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an operation has been performed by a user (e.g., to determine whether a user has “clicked” on an icon). In some embodiments, at least a subset of the intensity thresholds are determined in accordance with software parameters (e.g, the intensity thresholds are not determined by the activation thresholds of particular physical actuators and can be adjusted without changing the physical hardware of device — 100). For example, a mouse “click” threshold of a trackpad or touch-screen display can be set to any of a large range of predefined thresholds values without changing the trackpad or touch-screen display hardware. Additionally, in some implementations a user of the device is provided with software settings for adjusting one or more of the set of intensity thresholds (e.g., by adjusting individual intensity thresholds and/or by adjusting a plurality of intensity thresholds at once with a system-level click “intensity” parameter).

[00134] As used in the specification and claims, the term “characteristic intensity” of a contact is a characteristic of the contact based on one or more intensities of the contact. In

DK 180979 B1 41 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. For example, the set of one or more intensity thresholds may include a first intensity threshold and a second intensity threshold. In this example, a contact with a characteristic intensity that does not exceed the first threshold results in a first operation, a contact with a characteristic intensity that exceeds the first intensity threshold and does not exceed the second intensity threshold results in a second operation, and a contact with a characteristic intensity that exceeds the second intensity threshold results in a third operation. In some embodiments, a comparison between the characteristic intensity and one or more intensity thresholds is used to determine whether or not to perform one or more operations (e.g., whether to perform a respective option or forgo performing the respective operation) rather than being used to determine whether to perform a first operation or a second operation.

[00135] In some embodiments, a portion of a gesture is identified for purposes of determining a characteristic intensity. For example, a touch-sensitive surface may receive a continuous swipe contact transitioning from a start location and reaching an end location (e.g, adrag gesture), at which point the intensity of the contact increases. In this example, the characteristic intensity of the contact at the end location may be based on only a portion of the continuous swipe contact, and not the entire swipe contact (e.g., only the portion of

DK 180979 B1 42 the swipe contact at the end location). In some embodiments, a smoothing algorithm may be 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.

[00136] The user interface figures described herein optionally include various intensity diagrams that show the current intensity of the contact on the touch-sensitive — surface relative to one or more intensity thresholds (e.g., a contact detection intensity threshold IT, a light press intensity threshold IT;, a deep press intensity threshold ITp (e.g, that is at least initially higher than Ir. ), and/or one or more other intensity thresholds (e.g., an intensity threshold In that is lower than Ip)). This intensity diagram is typically not part of the displayed user interface, but is provided to aid in the interpretation of the figures. 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 ITo 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. Generally, unless otherwise stated, these intensity thresholds are consistent between different sets of user interface figures.

[00137] In some embodiments, the response of the device to inputs detected by the device depends on criteria based on the contact intensity during the input. For example, for some “light press” inputs, the intensity of a contact exceeding a first intensity threshold — during the input triggers a first response. In some embodiments, the response of the device to inputs detected by the device depends on criteria that include both the contact intensity during the input and time-based criteria. For example, for some “deep press” inputs, the

DK 180979 B1 43 intensity of a contact exceeding a second intensity threshold during the input, greater than the first intensity threshold for a light press, triggers a second response only if a delay time has elapsed between meeting the first intensity threshold and meeting the second intensity threshold. This delay time is typically less than 200 ms in duration (e.g., 40, 100, or 120 ms, depending on the magnitude of the second intensity threshold, with the delay time increasing as the second intensity threshold increases). This delay time helps to avoid accidental deep press inputs. As another example, for some “deep press” inputs, there is a reduced-sensitivity time period that occurs after the time at which the first intensity threshold is met. During the reduced-sensitivity time period, the second intensity threshold is increased. This temporary increase in the second intensity threshold also helps to avoid accidental deep press inputs. For other deep press inputs, the response to detection of a deep press input does not depend on time-based criteria.

[00138] In some embodiments, one or more of the input intensity thresholds and/or the corresponding outputs vary based on one or more factors, such as user settings, contact — motion, input timing, application running, rate at which the intensity is applied, number of concurrent inputs, user history, environmental factors (e.g., ambient noise), focus selector position, and the like. Example factors are described in U.S. Patent Application Serial Nos. 14/399 606 and 14/624,296.

[00139] For example, Figure 4C illustrates a dynamic intensity threshold 480 that changes over time based in part on the intensity of touch input 476 over time. Dynamic intensity threshold 480 is a sum of two components, first component 474 that decays over time after a predefined delay time pl from when touch input 476 is initially detected, and second component 478 that trails the intensity of touch input 476 over time. The initial high intensity threshold of first component 474 reduces accidental triggering of a "deep press” — response, while still allowing an immediate "deep press” response if touch input 476 provides sufficient intensity. Second component 478 reduces unintentional triggering of a "deep press” response by gradual intensity fluctuations of in a touch input. In some embodiments, when touch input 476 satisfies dynamic intensity threshold 480 (e.g., at point 481 in Figure 4C), the "deep press” response is triggered.

— [00140] Figure 4D illustrates another dynamic intensity threshold 486 (e.g., intensity threshold Ip). Figure 4D also illustrates two other intensity thresholds: a first intensity

44 DK 180979 B1 threshold In and a second intensity threshold I. In Figure 4D, although touch input 484 satisfies the first intensity threshold In and the second intensity threshold IL prior to time p2, no response is provided until delay time p2 has elapsed at time 482. Also in Figure 4D, dynamic intensity threshold 486 decays over time, with the decay starting at time 488 after a predefined delay time pl has elapsed from time 482 (when the response associated with the second intensity threshold Ir. was triggered). This type of dynamic intensity threshold reduces accidental triggering of a response associated with the dynamic intensity threshold Ip immediately after, or concurrently with, triggering a response associated with a lower intensity threshold, such as the first intensity threshold In or the second intensity threshold I.

[00141] Figure 4E illustrate yet another dynamic intensity threshold 492 (e.g., intensity threshold Ip). In Figure 4E, a response associated with the intensity threshold I. is triggered after the delay time p2 has elapsed from when touch input 490 is initially detected. Concurrently, dynamic intensity threshold 492 decays after the predefined delay time pl has elapsed from when touch input 490 is initially detected. So a decrease in intensity of touch input 490 after triggering the response associated with the intensity threshold Ir, followed by an increase in the intensity of touch input 490, without releasing touch input 490, can trigger a response associated with the intensity threshold Ip (e.g., at time 494) even when the intensity of touch input 490 is below another intensity threshold, for example, the — intensity threshold Ir.

[00142] An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the light press intensity threshold IT; to an intensity between the light press intensity threshold IT: and the deep press intensity threshold ITp 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 ITp to an intensity above the deep press intensity threshold ITp 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 ITo to an intensity between the contact-detection intensity threshold IT and the light press intensity threshold IT; 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 ITo to an intensity below the contact-detection intensity threshold ITo is sometimes referred to as detecting liftoff of the contact from the touch-

DK 180979 B1 45 surface. In some embodiments ITo is zero. In some embodiments, ITo is greater than zero. In some illustrations a shaded circle or oval is used to represent intensity of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface. In some illustrations, a circle or oval without shading is used represent a respective contact on the touch-sensitive surface without specifying the intensity ofthe respective contact.

[00143] 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., the respective operation is performed on 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., the respective operation is performed on an “up stroke” of the respective press input).

[00144] 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 — ofthe 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., the respective operation is performed on 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

DK 180979 B1 46 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).

[00145] For ease of explanation, the description 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: 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, 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. As described above, in some embodiments, the triggering of these responses also depends on time-based criteria being met (e.g., a delay time has elapsed between a first intensity threshold being met and a second intensity threshold being met).

USER INTERFACES AND ASSOCIATED PROCESSES

[00146] Attention is now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces (“UI”) and associated processes that may be implemented on an electronic device, such as portable multifunction device 100 or device 300, with a display, a touch-sensitive surface, and (optionally) one or more sensors to detect intensities of contacts with the touch-sensitive surface.

[00148] Figures SA-5AW illustrate exemplary user interfaces for integrating electronic stickers in a messaging application in accordance with some embodiments. The user interfaces in these figures are used to illustrate the processes described below, including the processes in Figures 6A-6C and 8A-8C. For convenience of explanation, some ofthe embodiments will be discussed with reference to operations performed on a device with a touch-sensitive display system 112. In such embodiments, the focus selector is, optionally: a respective finger or stylus contact, a representative point corresponding to a finger or stylus contact (e.g., a centroid of a respective contact or a point associated with a respective contact), or a centroid of two or more contacts detected on the touch-sensitive — display system 112. However, analogous operations are, optionally, performed on a device with a display 450 and a separate touch- sensitive surface 451 in response to detecting the contacts on the touch-sensitive surface 451 while displaying the user interfaces shown in the figures on the display 450, along with a focus selector.

[00149] Figures SA-5AW illustrate exemplary user interface 3500 for a messaging application which includes conversation transcript 3700, message-input area 3502, either of application expansion affordance 3702 or three activatable affordances—digital image affordance 3504, digital canvas affordance 3506, and application affordance 3508— optionally, one of digital keyboard 3501, application selection tray 3654, and application swipe tray 3892. Conversation transcript 3503 includes messages from participants of a corresponding messaging session, including the user of portable multifunction device 100 and other users included in the messaging session. Each of the other users included in the messaging transcript are represented by an avatar (e.g., avatar 3510 for “Abe”).

[00150] Figures SA-5C, SAB-SAF, and SAU-S AW illustrate three exemplary embodiments for accessing an electronic sticker pack in a messaging application. Each embodiment begins from an exemplary user interface 3500 for a messaging application, including conversation transcript 3503, digital image affordance 3504, digital canvas affordance 3506, application affordance 3508, and message-input area 3502, including microphone affordance 3802 for receiving speech that is translated into text for posting to the messaging session associated with conversation transcript 3503, as in Figures SA, SAB, and SAU.

[00151] In a first embodiment, device 100-1 detects a tap gesture, including contact 3902 in Figure 5B, on application affordance 3508 and, in response, displays application swipe tray 3892, including sticker pack 3904 with electronic stickers 3906, 3908, and 3910 and application menu toggle affordance 3627, in Figure 5C.

[00152] In a second embodiment, device 100-1 detects a tap gesture, including contact 3934 in Figure SAB, on application affordance 3508 and, in response, displays application swipe tray 3892, including launch icon 3708 for an interactive reservation application and application menu toggle affordance 3627, in Figure SAC. The device then detects a swipe gesture to the left in application swipe tray 3892, including movement 3938 of contact 3936 from position 3936-a in Figure SAD to position 3936-b in Figure SAE. In response, the device moves application swipe tray 3892 to the left, in accordance with movement 3936, creating the appearance that application launch icon 3708 slides off of the left side of touch screen 112 and sticker pack 3904 slides the display from the right side of touch screen 112, in Figure SAE. After completion of the swipe gesture, the device displays sticker pack 3904 with electronic stickers 3906, 3908, and 3910 and application menu toggle affordance 3627, within application slide tray 3892, in Figure SAF.

[00153] In a third embodiment, device 100-1 detects a tap gesture, including contact 3952 in Figure SAU, on application affordance 3508 and, in response, displays application selection tray 3654, including a plurality of launch icons for applications —Ilaunch icon 3601 for a messaging application-specific application store, launch icon 3603 for an interactive tic-tac-toe application, launch icon 3605 for an interactive reservation application, launch icon 3607 for a search application, launch icon 3609 for an electronic sticker pack, launch icon 3611 for a live video-streaming application, launch icon 3613 for an interactive pizza ordering application, and launch icon 3615 for an interactive digital music application. The device then detects a tap gesture, including contact 3954 in Figure SAV, on launch icon 3609 for an electronic sticker pack and, in response, replaces application selection tray 3654 with sticker pack 3904, including electronic stickers 3906, 3908, and 3910 and application menu toggle affordance 3627, in Figure SAW.

[00154] Figures 5D-5P and 5Z-5AA illustrate exemplary embodiments for posting an electronic sticker to a messaging session. Each embodiment begins from an exemplary user interface 3500 for a messaging application, including conversation transcript 3503,

50 DK 180979 B1 message-input area 3502, and electronic sticker pack 3904 with electronic stickers 3906, 3908, and 3910, as in Figures 5D, SH, 5K, 5N, and 5Z.

[00155] In a first embodiment, an electronic sticker is posted to the conversation transcript through the message-input area, in response to tapping on the electronic sticker. Device 100-1 detects a tap gesture, including contact 3912 in Figure 5D, on snowflake sticker 3908. In response, the device places snowflake sticker 3908 in message-input area 3502 in Figure SE. The device then detects a tap gesture including contact 3914 on message-content posting affordance 3520 in Figure SF. In response, device 100 posts snowflake sticker 3908 at location 3908-a, corresponding to the next temporal position for a message posted in transcript 3700, as shown in Figure 5G.

[00156] In a second embodiment, an electronic sticker is dragged into the conversation transcript by a drag gesture, and is posted to the messaging session at the location it was dragged to in the conversation transcript. Device 100-1 detects a drag gesture, including movement 3918 of contact 3916, which was initiated on electronic sticker 3906, from position 3916-a, within sticker pack 3904, in Figure SH to position 3916-b, within conversation transcript 3700 in Figure SI. In response, snowman sticker 3906 is dragged from its initial position 3906-a in the sticker pack, in Figure SH, to position 3906-b within the conversation transcript, in Figure 91, in accordance with movement 3918. Upon lift-off of contact 3916 within conversation transcript 3700, snowman sticker 3906 is posted to the messaging session, as displayed at position 3906-b in Figure 97.

[00157] In a third embodiment, an electronic sticker is not posted to the messaging session when it is not dragged all the way into the conversation transcript. Device 100-1 detects a drag gesture, including movement 3922 of contact 3920, which was initiated on electronic sticker 3910, from position 3920-a, within sticker pack 3904, in Figure 9K to — position 3920-b, still within sticker pack 3904 in Figure 9L. In response, sled sticker 3910 is dragged from its initial position 3910-a in sticker pack 3904, in Figure 9K, to position 3910-b still within sticker pack 3904, in Figure 9L, in accordance with movement 3922. Upon lift-off of contact 3920 within sticker pack 3904, sled sticker 3910 is not posted to the messaging session, because it was not dragged into the conversation transcript, as displayed in its original position 3920-a in Figure OM.

DK 180979 B1 51

[00158] In a fourth embodiment, an electronic sticker is dragged into the conversation transcript by a drag gesture, and is posted to the messaging session at a nearest predefined position to the location it was dragged to in the conversation transcript. Device 100-1 detects a drag gesture, including movement 3926 of contact 3924, which was initiated on electronic sticker 3908, from position 3924-a, within sticker pack 3904, in Figure 9N to position 3924-b, within conversation transcript 3700 in Figure 90. In response, snowflake sticker 3908 is dragged from its initial position 3908-a in the sticker pack, in Figure 9N, to position 3908-c within the conversation transcript, in Figure 90, in accordance with movement 3926. Upon lift-off of contact 3924 within conversation transcript 3700, snowflake sticker 3908 is repositioned to position 3908-d, which corresponds to the nearest location within a message region (e.g., message region 3749) to the position the sticker was at when the device detected lift-off of the contact corresponding to the drag gesture (e.g., location 3908-c).

[00159] In a fifth embodiment, an electronic sticker is posted directly to the messaging session, at the next temporal position for a message posted in the transcript, in response to detecting a deep press gesture. Device 100-1 detects a press gesture including contact 3932 on snowman sticker 3906 in Figure 9Y. Device 100-1 then detects an increase in the intensity of contact 3932 above a predefined intensity threshold (e.g., IT; or ITp) and, in response, posts snowman sticker directly to the messaging session, as displayed at — position 3906-c, corresponding to the next temporal position for a message posted in transcript 3700, as shown in Figure SAA.

[00160] Figures SP-5X illustrate exemplary embodiments where the electronic sticker in animated. In Figure 5P, snowman sticker 3906 is displayed at location 3906-b in conversation transcript 3700, as it was placed in Figures SH-5J. In Figures 5Q-5T, snowman sticker 3906 cycles through animation states 3930-a, 3930-b, and 3930-c, appearing to lift and lower his broomstick.

[00161] In Figures SU-5X animation 3930 of snowman sticker 3906 is previewed by deep pressing on the sticker in sticker pack 3904. Device 100-1 detects a press gesture including contact 3928 on snowman sticker 3906 in Figure SU. Device 100-1 then detects — an increase in the intensity of contact 3928 above a predefined intensity threshold (e.g., IT. or ITp) in Figure SV and, in response, cycles snowman sticker 3906 through animation

DK 180979 B1 states 3930-a, 3930-b, and 3930-c in Figures 5V-5X. In some embodiments, stickers associated with animations are continually animated when displayed in the sticker pack.

[00162] Figures SAF-5AT illustrate exemplary embodiments where the position, size, and/or rotation on an electronic sticker are changed.

5 [00163] In one embodiment, the size of an electronic sticker changes in response to the pressure of a contact on the sticker. In Figures SAG-5AI, snowman sticker 3906 is dragged from sticker pack 3904 into conversation transcript 3700 by a drag gesture including movement 3942 of contact 3940 from position 3940-a in Figure SAG, to position 3940-c in Figure SAI. During the drag gesture, device 100-1 detects an increase in the intensity of contact 3940 between Figures SAG and SAH and in between Figures SAH and SAI. In response, snowman sticker 3940 gets successively larger. The device then detects a decrease in the intensity of contact 3940 between Figures SAI and SAJ and, in response, the size of snowman sticker 3906 decreases.

[00164] In one embodiment, the rotation of an electronic sticker changes in response to a rotation gesture by a contact on the sticker. Device 100-1 detects a counter-clockwise rotation gesture including rotation 3944 of contact 3940 from position 3940-c in Figure 5AK to position 3940-d in Figure SAL. In response, snowman sticker 3906 is rotated counter-clockwise, in accordance with rotation 3944, from position 3906-e in Figure SAK to position 3906-f in Figure SAL. In response to detecting lift-off of contact 3940 from — touch screen 112, while in conversation transcript 3700, snowman sticker 3906 is posted to the messaging session, as displayed rotated and larger, with respect to its original appearance in the sticker pack, at position 3906-f within conversation transcript 3700 in Figure SAM.

[00165] In one embodiment, the position of an electronic sticker can be changed after initially placing the sticker within the conversation transcript. Device 100-1 detects a drag gesture initiating over snowman sticker 3906 in conversation transcript 3700, after the sticker was initially placed in the transcript in Figure SAM. The drag gesture includes movement 3948 of contact 3946 from position 3946-a in Figure SAN to position 3946-b in Figure SAO. In response, snowman sticker moves from position 3906-f in Figure SAN to — position 3906-g-in Figure SAO, in accordance with movement 3948.

DK 180979 B1 53

[00166] In one embodiment, the size of an electronic sticker is changed after initially placing the sticker with the conversation transcript. As a continuation of the gesture described above, device 100-1 detects an increase in the intensity of contact 3946 between Figures SAO and SAP. In response, snowman sticker 3940 is displayed larger in Figure SAP.

[00167] In one embodiment, the rotation of an electronic sticker is changed after initially placing the sticker with the conversation transcript. As a continuation of the gesture described above, device 100-1 detects a counter-clockwise rotation gesture including rotation 3950 of contact 3946 from position 3946-b in Figure SAQ to position 3946-c in Figure SAR. In response, snowman sticker 3906 is rotated counter-clockwise, in accordance with rotation 3944, from position 3906-g in Figure SAQ to position 3906-h in Figure SAR. In response to detecting lift-off of contact 3946 from touch screen 112, while in conversation transcript 3700, snowman sticker 3906 is placed back in the transcript as displayed in Figure SAS. The device sends information about the orientation of snowman sticker 3906 at position 3906-h to electronic devices corresponding to other users included in the messaging session associated with conversation transcript 3700.

[00168] In one embodiment, the position, size, and/or rotation of an electronic sticker is changed by a second user after being posted to the messaging session. Device 100-1 receives information from another device corresponding to another user included in the messaging session associated with conversation transcript 3700 (e.g., "Abe”). The information conveys that Abe changes the position, size, and rotation of snowman sticker 3906 from orientation (e.g., position) 3906-h, as illustrated in Figure SAS, to orientation 3906-1, as illustrated in Figure SAT. In response, device 100-1 displays snowman sticker 3906 with orientation 3906-1 in Figure SAT.

Adding and manipulating stickers

[00169] Figures 6 A-6C are flow diagrams illustrating a method 6200 of adding a sticker to a messaging transcript in accordance with some embodiments. The method 6200 is performed at an electronic device (e.g., device 300, Figure 3, or portable multifunction device 100, Figure 1A) with a display, a touch-sensitive surface, and one or more sensors to detect intensities of contacts with the touch-sensitive surface. In some embodiments, the display is a touch-screen display and the touch-sensitive surface is on or integrated with the

54 DK 180979 B1 display. In some embodiments, the display is separate from the touch-sensitive surface. Some operations in method 6200 are, optionally, combined and/or the order of some operations is, optionally, changed.

[00170] As described below, the method 6200 provides an intuitive way to add a — sticker to a messaging transcript. The method reduces the number, extent, and/or nature of the inputs from a user when adding a sticker to a messaging transcript, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated electronic devices, enabling a user to add a sticker to a messaging transcript faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.

[00171] The device displays (6202) a messaging user interface of a messaging application on the display, the messaging user interface including a conversation transcript (e.g., displayed in a first area of the display) of a messaging session between a user of the electronic device and at least one other user (e.g., of another electronic device), a plurality of electronic stickers (e.g., a sticker pack displayed in a second area of the display), and a — message-input area. For example, in Figure 5C, device 100-1 displays messaging user interface 3500, including conversation transcript 3700, sticker pack 3892 with electronic stickers 3906, 3908, and 3910, and message-input area 3502.

[00172] While displaying the messaging user interface, the device detects (6204) a first drag gesture fe.g., by a first contact on a touch-sensitive surface) that starts while a — focus selector is at a first location in the messaging user interface that corresponds to a first electronic sticker in the plurality of electronic stickers, the first drag gesture moving the focus selector in a first direction; (e.g., detect a drag gesture by a contact on a touch- sensitive display that starts at the first electronic sticker and moves in a first direction, or detect a drag gesture by a contact on a touch-sensitive surface that starts while a cursor or — other pointer is at the first electronic sticker on the display and moves the pointer in a first direction on the display). For example, device 100-1 detects a drag gesture including movement 3918 of contact 3906 from position 3906-a, over electronic snowman sticker 3906 in Figure SH, to position 3906-b, in Figure 51. In another example, device 100-1 detects a drag gesture including movement 3922 of contact 3920 from position 3920-a, over electronic sled sticker 3910 in Figure SK, to position 3920-b, in Figure SL. In another example, device 100-1 detects a drag gesture including movement 3926 of contact 3925 sg DK 180979 B1 from position 3924-a, over electronic snowflake sticker 3908 in Figure 5N, to position 3924-b, in Figure 50.

[00173] The device moves (6206) the first electronic sticker in the first direction in accordance with the movement of the first drag gesture. For example, electronic snowman sticker moves from location 3906-a, in Figure SH, to position 3906-b, in Figure 51, in accordance with movement 3918. In another example, electronic sled sticker 3910 moves from position 3910-a, in Figure 5K, to position 3910-b, in Figure SL, in accordance with movement 3922. In another example, electronic snowflake sticker 3908 moves from position 3908-a, in Figure SN, to position 3908-c, in Figure 50, in accordance with movement 3926.

[00174] In some embodiments, the plurality of electronic stickers is a plurality of objects contained within a digital image (e.g., a TV or movie frame, a digital comic illustration, a frame from a digital video, or other digital image), where (6208): the first electronic sticker corresponds to an object displayed at the first location at the start of the first drag gesture (e.g., tapping on any object within the digital image creates a digital sticker of that object), and moving the first electronic sticker includes displaying an animation of peeling the first electronic sticker from the digital image (e.g., it appears that the user is peeling the first electronic sticker away from the digital image).

[00175] The device detects (6210) termination of the first drag gesture while the — focus selector is at a second location in the messaging user interface (e.g., while a contact on a touch-sensitive display is at the second location, or while a cursor or other pointer is at the second location). For example, device 100-1 detects termination of a drag gesture when contact 3916 is at position 3916-b in Figure SI (e.g, lift-off of contact 3916, as illustrated in Figure 5J). In another example, device 100-1 detects termination of a drag gesture when — contact 3920 is at position 3920-b in Figure SL (e.g., lift-off of contact 3920, as illustrated in Figure SM). In another example, device 100-1 detects termination of a drag gesture when contact 3924 is at position 3924-b in Figure 50 (e.g, lift-off of contact 3924, as illustrated in Figure SP).

[00176] In response to detecting termination of the first drag gesture (e.g., detecting lift-off the contact in the drag gesture), the device: in accordance with a determination that the second location is within the conversation transcript (e.g., the sticker was dragged from

DK 180979 B1 56 the tray into the conversation transcript), places (6212) the electronic sticker in the conversation transcript at a location based on the second location. For example, in Figure 5J, electronic snowman sticker 3906 is placed in conversation transcript 3700 because the drag gesture terminated within the transcript (e.g., at position 3916-b). In another example, in Figure 5P, electronic snowflake sticker 3908 is placed in conversation transcript 3700 because the drag gesture terminated within the transcript (e.g., at position 3916-b).

[00177] In response to detecting termination of the first drag gesture (e.g., detecting lift-off the contact in the drag gesture), the device: in accordance with a determination that the second location in not within the conversation transcript (e.g., the sticker was not — dragged into the conversation transcript), ceases (6212) to display the electronic sticker at the second location on the display. E.g., when the sticker is not dragged all the way to the conversation transcript, termination of the gesture causes the sticker to return to the sticker pack. For example, in Figure SM, device 100-1 ceases displaying electronic sled sticker 3910 at position 3910-b in response to detecting lift-off of contact 3920 (e.g., termination of — the drag gesture) while outside of conversation transcript 3700 (e.g., at position 3920-b),

[00178] In some embodiments, the electronic device differentiates between an input that allows the user to place the sticker at a user-selected location in the transcript and an input that places the sticker at a default location within the transcript. For example, a drag gesture places the sticker at a user-selection location within the transcript (e.g., snowman — sticker 3906 is dragged to, and placed at, position 3906-b in Figures SH-5J, while a stationary gesture (such as a tap, light press, or deep press) places the sticker in the transcript at a default next location designated for a user message (e.g., with or without a surrounding message bubble). For example, snowflake sticker 3908 is placed in transcript 3700 at position 3908-a, in Figure 5G, corresponding to the next temporal position within — the conversation transcript, after detecting a tap gesture on the sticker, including contact 3912 in Figure 5D.

[00179] In some embodiments, the device displays a messaging user interface of a messaging application on the display, the messaging user interface including a conversation transcript (e.g., displayed in a first area of the display) of a messaging session between a — user of the electronic device and at least one other user (e.g., of another electronic device), a plurality of electronic stickers (e.g., a sticker pack displayed in a second area of the display),

DK 180979 B1 57 and a message-input area. While displaying the messaging user interface, the device detects a first user input at a location corresponding to display of a first electronic sticker. In response to detecting the first user input: in accordance with a determination that the first user input includes a drag gesture starting at the location corresponding to display of the first electronic sticker and ending at a location corresponding to display of the conversation transcript, placing the electronic sticker in the conversation transcript (e.g., dragging the sticker into the conversation transcript). For example, snowman sticker 3906 is dragged into conversation transcript 3700 in Figures 5J-5J. In accordance with a determination that the first user input satisfies tap gesture criteria (e.g., detection of initiation and termination — ofa user contact, having a characteristic intensity that does not reach a predefined intensity threshold, at a substantial same location), displaying the electronic sticker in the message- input area (e.g., which allows the user to post the sticker to the transcript at a location corresponding to the next message). For example, snowflake sticker 3908 is tapped on and placed in message-input area 3502 in Figures SD-5F.

[00180] In some embodiments, the location based on the second location is the second location (6214). For example, the sticker is placed in the transcript at the location where the drag gesture terminated (e.g., by user lift-off of the contact corresponding to the drag gesture or by timing-out of the drag gesture by maintaining a relatively stable position for a pre-defined period of time). For example, in Figure 5J, electronic snowman sticker — 3906 is placed at position 3906-b in transcript 3700, where it was displayed when the device detected termination (e.g., lift-off) of the drag gesture including contact 3916.

[00181] In some embodiments, the conversation transcript includes display of one or more objects posted to the messaging session (e.g., message bubbles, icons for interactive applications, and/or multimedia content), the location is based on the second location is a nearest position in a plurality of positions that are defined by the positions of the one or more objects posted to the messaging session (6216). For example, device 100-1 detects termination of a drag gesture including contact 3924 at position 3924-b in conversation transcript, when electronic snowflake sticker 3908 is displayed at position 3908-c, in Figure

50. In response, snowflake sticker 3908 is placed (e.g., displayed) at position 3908-d, corresponding to the nearest point on a message object (e.g., message region 3749), in Figure 5P.

DK 180979 B1 58

[00182] In some embodiments, the plurality of positions include positions that are defined by the outside border of the one or more objects posted to the messaging session (e.g., every position defining the outlines of the one or more objects, a set number of positions on the outlines (e.g., horizontal and vertical mid-points on the top, bottom, right, and left borders of each object), regularly spaced positions along the outside border (e.g, every X pixels or spaced to provide Y positions on each object)).

[00183] In some embodiments, the plurality of positions include positions that are defined by the surface area of the one or more objects posted to the messaging session (e.g, every position within the border (inclusive or exclusive) of an object, a set number of — positions within each object (e.g., quadrant midpoints within each object), regularly spaced positions within each object (e.g., every (X, Y) pixels or spaced to provide Z positions within each object).

[00184] In some embodiments, the plurality of positions include one or more positions that are defined by a relationship between two adjacent objects (e.g., positions defined by the mid-point between two objects).

[00185] In some embodiments, in response to detecting termination of the first drag gesture, in accordance with a determination that the second location is within the conversation transcript, the device (6218) transmits information that represents the electronic sticker to one or more fe.g., at least a second} electronic devices that correspond to the at least one other user included in the messaging session, wherein the one or more electronic devices display a corresponding representation of the electronic sticker in a corresponding location within a corresponding conversation transcript

[00186] In some embodiments, where messages sent from the user of the electronic device and messages received from other users are displayed on opposite sides of a conversation transcript, the corresponding location is a position that is a mirror image of the position at which the stick is displayed on the sending user's electronic device (e.g., a mirror image of the position or a mirror image of the position and the sticker).

[00187] In some embodiments, the device (6220) detects a user input while the focus selector is at a third position that corresponds to a second electronic sticker in the plurality — ofelectronic stickers (e.g., while a contact on a touch-sensitive display is at the second electronic sticker, or while a cursor or other pointer is at the second electronic sticker). For

DK 180979 B1 59 example, an input including one of contact 3912, in Figure 5D and contact 3932, in Figure 57,

[00188] In response to detecting the user input while the focus selector is at the third position, in accordance with a determination that the user input satisfies one or more sticker- — selection-criteria (e.g., which are distinct from sticker posting criteria), the device displays the second electronic sticker in the message-input area (e.g., snowflake sticker 3908 is displayed in message-input area 3502 in Figure SF.

[00189] In some embodiments, the sticker selection criteria include a criterion that is configured to be met when a characteristic intensity of a contact in the input remains below — afirst intensity threshold.

[00190] In some embodiments, the sticker selection criteria include a criterion that is met when a characteristic intensity of a contact in the input satisfies a first intensity threshold (e.g., the sticker is displayed in the message-input area, but may be pushed- through to the transcript by pressing harder)

[00191] In some embodiments, the sticker can then be posted to the messaging session by a second user input corresponding to a request to post the content within the message-input area, such as a tap gesture at a location that corresponds to a send icon on the display. For example, snowflake sticker 3908 is displayed in conversation transcript 3700, in Figure 5G, in response to a tap gesture including contact 3914 on send affordance 3520, in Figure SF.

[00192] In response to detecting the user input while the focus selector is at the third position, in accordance with a determination that the user input satisfies one or more sticker- posting-criteria, displaying the sticker in the conversation transcript at a location that corresponds to a next message insertion point. For example, snowman sticker 3906 is — directly posted to the messaging session (e.g., displayed in transcript 3700), in Figure SAA in response to detecting deep press gesture including contact 3932.

[00193] In some embodiments, the sticker posting criteria include a criterion that is met when a characteristic intensity of a contact in the input goes above a second intensity threshold.

DK 180979 B1 60

[00194] In some embodiments, posting the sticker to the messaging session at the position where the next messaging bubble would be located, e.g., at position 3908-b in Figure 5G or position 3906-c in Figure SAA.

[00195] In some embodiments, the one or more sticker-posting-criteria require that a characteristic intensity of the first contact on the touch-sensitive surface meet a respective intensity threshold in order for the transcript-area-display criteria to be met are met when the characteristic intensity of the first contact is between the second intensity threshold and a third intensity threshold; and the one or more sticker-selection-criteria do not require that the characteristic intensity of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface meet the respective intensity threshold in order for the selection criteria to be met..

[00196] In some embodiments, the device detects (6222) a user input while the focus selector is at a fourth position that corresponds to a third electronic sticker in the plurality of electronic stickers (e.g., while a contact on a touch-sensitive display is at the third electronic sticker, or while a cursor or other pointer is at the third electronic sticker) wherein the third electronic sticker is associated with a sticker animation. For example, in Figures 5Q-5X, snowman sticker 3906 is associated with an animation including movement of the snowman’s broom up and down, cycling through animation states 3930-a, 3930-b, and 3930-c. Device 100-1 detects an input including contact 3928 on snowman sticker 3906 in sticker pack 3904.

[00197] In some embodiments, the sticker animation is displayed in a loop when the sticker is posted to the messaging session. In some embodiments, the sticker animation is displayed a pre-defined number of times after being posted to the messaging session. In some embodiments, the sticker animation is displayed upon activation by a user within a corresponding conversation transcript. In some embodiments, the sticker animation is automatically displayed in the sticker pack.

[00198] In response to detecting the user input while the focus selector is at the fourth position, in accordance with a determination that the user input satisfies one or more animation preview criteria (e.g., deep-press criteria) the device previews the sticker animation associated with the third electronic sticker (e.g., a cat sticker cries when a user presses on the cat sticker in a sticker pack). For example, device 100-1 displays a preview of the animation for snowman sticker displayed in sticker pack 3904, in Figures SV-5X.

61 DK 180979 B1

[00199] In some embodiments, the animation preview criteria include a criterion that is met when a characteristic intensity of a contact in the input satisfies an intensity threshold. In some embodiments, a press and hold gesture satisfies animation preview criteria. In some embodiments, a deep press gesture satisfies animation preview criteria. In some embodiments, a light press does not satisfy animation preview. In some embodiments, a light press gesture causes the electronic sticker to be displayed in the message-input area}, previewing the sticker animation associated with the third electronic sticker (e.g., a cat sticker cries when a user presses on the cat sticker in a sticker pack).

[00200] In some embodiments, prior to displaying the plurality of electronic stickers, — the device (6224) displays the messaging user interface including the conversation transcript (e.g., displayed in a first area of the display) of the messaging session between the user of the electronic device and the at least one other user (e.g., of another electronic device) and an application affordance (e.g., user interface 3500 in Figure SA).

[00201] While displaying the messaging user interface, the device detects an input that activates the application affordance. For example, an input including contact 3902 on application affordance 3508, in Figure 5B (e.g., detecting a tap gesture at a location that corresponds to the application affordance).

[00202] In response to detecting the input that activates the application affordance, the device maintains display of at least a portion of the conversation transcript in a first area — ofthe display (e.g., Figure SC includes a portion of conversation transcript 3700 displayed in Figure SC. The device displays the plurality of electronic stickers in a second area of the display (e.g., in sticker pack 3904, in Figure 5C).

[00203] In some embodiments, where the messaging user interface includes display of an electronic keyboard prior to activating the application affordance, the display of the plurality of electronic stickers replaces display of the keyboard (e.g., display of sticker pack 3904 would replace display of digital keyboard 3501).

[00204] In some embodiments, where the messaging user interface includes a full- screen display of the conversation transcript prior to activating the application affordance, the display of the plurality of electronic stickers replaces a portion of the display of the message transcript. For example, in Figure 5B, conversation transcript 3700 is displayed in full-screen mode. In response to activation of sticker pack 3892 by an input including

6 DK 180979 B1 contact 3902 in Figure 5B, display of conversation transcript 3700 is reduced to accommodate display of the sticker pack in Figure 5C.

[00205] In some embodiments, prior to displaying the plurality of electronic stickers: the device (6226) displays the messaging user interface including the conversation transcript (e.g, displayed in a first area of the display) of the messaging session between the user of the electronic device and the at least one other user (e.g., of an electronic device) and an application affordance. For example, messaging user interface 3500 in Figure SAB.

[00206] While displaying the messaging user interface, the device detects an input that activates the application affordance. For example, in Figure SAB, an input including — contact 3934 activates application affordance 3508.

[00207] In response to detecting the input that activates the application affordance, the device maintains display of at least a portion of the conversation transcript in a first area of the display (e.g., device 100-1 maintains display of conversation transcript 3700 in Figure SAC), and the device displays a first interactive application icon (e.g., an icon for a first interactive application), which is one of a plurality of interactive application icons, in a second area of the display (e.g., in a scrollable interactive application panel). For example, interactive reservations application launch icon 3708 displayed in application slide tray 3892, in Figure SAC.

[00208] In some embodiments, where the messaging user interface includes display — ofan electronic keyboard prior to activating the application affordance, the display of the scrollable interactive application panel replaces display of the keyboard (e.g., application slide tray 3892 may replace display of digital keyboard 3501.

[00209] In some embodiments, where the messaging user interface includes a full- screen display of the conversation transcript prior to activating the application affordance, — the display of the scrollable interactive application panel replaces a portion of the display of the message transcript. For example, in Figure SAC, application slide tray 3892 replaces a portion of transcript 3700, displayed in full-screen mode in Figure SAB.

[00210] While displaying the first interactive application icon in the second area of the display, detecting a first swipe gesture that includes horizontal movement of a first — contact at a location that corresponds to the second area of the display. For example, device

DK 180979 B1 63 100-1 detects a swipe gesture including movement 3938 of contact 3936 from position 3936-a, in Figure SAD, to position 3936-b, in Figure SAE.

[00211] In accordance with a determination that the first swipe gesture satisfies one or more interactive application icon switching criteria, the device replaces display of the first interactive application icon with display of the plurality of electronic stickers in the second area of the display. For example, sticker pack 3904, in Figure SAF, replaces display of interactive reservations application launch icon 3708, in Figure SAD, in accordance to movement 3938 of contact 3936.

[00212] In some embodiments, the interactive application icon switching criteria — includes a criterion that the magnitude of a horizontal movement of the first swipe gesture satisfies a predetermined movement threshold. In some embodiments, the predetermined movement threshold varies with the speed of the movement of the contact.

[00213] In some embodiments, prior to displaying the plurality of electronic stickers, the device (6228) displays the messaging user interface including the conversation transcript (e.g, displayed in a first area of the display) of the messaging session between the user of the electronic device and the at least one other user (e.g., of another electronic device) and an application affordance (e.g., messaging user interface 3500 in Figure SAU.

[00214] While displaying the messaging user interface, the device detects an input that activates the application affordance (e.g., detecting a tap gesture at a location that corresponds to the application affordance). For example, in Figure SAU, an input including contact 3952 activates application affordance 3508.

[00215] In response to detecting the input that activates the application affordance, the device maintains display of at least a portion of the conversation transcript in a first area of the display (e.g., device 100-1 maintains display of conversation transcript 3700 in — Figure SAV) and displays in a second area of the display that includes a plurality of application launch icons (e.g., including launch icons for one or more interactive applications; e.g., application selection tray 3654 in Figure SAV), an application launch icon for a sticker pack (e.g., sticker pack launch icon 3609 in application selection tray 3654 in Figure SAV.

64 DK 180979 B1

[00216] In some embodiments, where the messaging user interface includes display of an electronic keyboard prior to detecting activation of the application affordance, the display of the plurality of application launch icons replaces display of the keyboard.

[00217] In some embodiments, where the messaging user interface includes a full- screen display of the conversation transcript prior to detecting activation of the application affordance, the display of the plurality of application launch icons replaces a portion of the display of the message transcript. For example, in Figure SAV, application selection tray 3654 replaces a portion of transcript 3700, displayed in full-screen mode, in Figure SAU.

[00218] While displaying the plurality of application launch icons, the device detects an input that activates the application launch icon for the sticker pack. For example, device 100-1 detects an in input including contact 3954 over sticker pack launch icon 3609, in Figure SAV.

[00219] In response to a detecting the input that activates the application launch icon for the sticker pack (e.g., detecting a tap gesture at a location that corresponds to the launch icon for the sticker pack), the device replaces display of the plurality of application launch icons with display of the plurality of electronic stickers in the second area of the display. For example, in response to detecting an input including contact 3954, in Figure SAV, device 100-1 replaces display of application selection tray 3954, in Figure SAV, with display of sticker pack 3904, in Figure SAW.

While displaying the messaging user interface, the processing unit 6306 is configured to detect (e.g., with detecting unit 6310) an input that activates the application affordance. In response to detecting the input that activates the application affordance, the processing unit 6306 is configured to: maintain display of (e.g, — with maintaining unit 6320) at least a portion of the conversation transcript in a first area of the display, and enable display of (e.g., with enabling unit 6308) the plurality of electronic stickers in a second area of the display.

[00229] In some embodiments, the processing unit 6306 is further configured to: prior to displaying the plurality of electronic stickers: enable display of (e.g., with enabling — unit 6308) the messaging user interface including the conversation transcript of the messaging session between the user of the electronic device and the at least one other user and an application affordance. While displaying the messaging user interface, the processing unit 6306 is configured to detect (e.g., with detecting unit 6310) an input that activates the application affordance. In response to detecting the input that activates the — application affordance, the processing unit 6306 is configured to: maintain display of (e.g, with maintaining unit 6320) at least a portion of the conversation transcript in a first area of the display, and enable display of (e.g., with enabling unit 6308) a first interactive application icon, which is one of a plurality of interactive application icons, in a second area of the display. While displaying the first interactive application icon in the second area of the display, the processing unit 6306 is configured to detect (e.g., with detecting unit 6310) a first swipe gesture that includes horizontal movement of a first contact at a location that corresponds to the second area of the display. In accordance with a determination that the

69 DK 180979 B1 first swipe gesture satisfies one or more interactive application icon switching criteria, the processing unit 6306 is configured to replace display of (e.g., with replacing unit 6322) the first interactive application icon with display of the plurality of electronic stickers in the second area of the display.

100230] In some embodiments, the processing unit 6306 is further configured to: prior to displaying the plurality of electronic stickers: enable display of (e.g., with enabling unit 6308) the messaging user interface including the conversation transcript of the messaging session between the user of the electronic device and the at least one other user and an application affordance. While displaying the messaging user interface, the processing unit 6306 is configured to detect (e.g., with detecting unit 6310) an input that activates the application affordance. In response to detecting the input that activates the application affordance, the processing unit 6306 is configured to: maintain display of (e.g, with maintaining unit 6320) at least a portion of the conversation transcript in a first area of the display, and enable display of (e.g., with enabling unit 6308), in a second area of the display that includes a plurality of application launch icons, an application launch icon for a sticker pack. While displaying the plurality of application launch icons, the processing unit 6306 is configured to detect (e.g., with detecting unit 6310) an input that activates the application launch icon for the sticker pack. In response to a detecting that the input that activates the application launch icon for the sticker pack, the processing unit 6306 is configured to replace display of (e.g., with replacing unit 6322) the plurality of application launch icons with display of the plurality of electronic stickers in the second area of the display.

[00231] In some embodiments, the plurality of electronic stickers is a plurality of objects contained within a digital image, wherein: the first electronic sticker corresponds to — an object displayed at the first location at the start of the first drag gesture; and moving the first electronic sticker includes displaying an animation of peeling the first electronic sticker from the digital image.

[00232] The operations in the information processing methods described above are, optionally implemented by running one or more functional modules in information processing apparatus such as general purpose processors (e.g., as described above with respect to Figures 1A and 3) or application specific chips.

DK 180979 B1 69

[00233] The operations described above with reference to Figures 6A-6C are, optionally, implemented by components depicted in Figures 1A-1B or Figure 7. For example, detection operation 6204 and move operation 6206 are, optionally, implemented by event sorter 170, event recognizer 180, and event handler 190. Event monitor 171 in event sorter 170 detects a contact on touch-sensitive display 112, and event dispatcher module 174 delivers the event information to application 136-1. A respective event recognizer 180 of application 136-1 compares the event information to respective event definitions 186, and determines whether a first contact at a first location on the touch- sensitive surface (or whether rotation of the device) corresponds to a predefined event or sub-event, such as selection of an object on a user interface, or rotation of the device from one orientation to another. When a respective predefined event or sub-event is detected, event recognizer 180 activates an event handler 190 associated with the detection of the event or sub-event. Event handler 190 optionally uses or calls data updater 176 or object updater 177 to update the application internal state 192. In some embodiments, event — handler 190 accesses a respective GUI updater 178 to update what is displayed by the application. Similarly, it would be clear to a person having ordinary skill in the art how other processes can be implemented based on the components depicted in Figures 1A-1B.

[00234] Figures 8A-8C are flow diagrams illustrating a method 6400 of modifying display of electronic stickers in a messaging application in accordance with some embodiments. The method 6400 is performed at an electronic device (e.g., device 300, Figure 3, or portable multifunction device 100, Figure 1A) with a display, a touch-sensitive surface, and one or more sensors to detect intensities of contacts with the touch-sensitive surface. In some embodiments, the display is a touch-screen display and the touch-sensitive surface is on or integrated with the display. In some embodiments, the display is separate from the touch-sensitive surface. Some operations in method 6400 are, optionally, combined and/or the order of some operations is, optionally, changed.

[00235] As described below, the method 6400 provides an intuitive way to modify display of electronic stickers in a messaging application. The method reduces the number, extent, and/or nature of the inputs from a user when modifying display of electronic stickers in a messaging application, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated electronic devices, enabling a user to modify display of electronic stickers

7 DK 180979 B1 in a messaging application faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.

[00236] The device displays (6402) a messaging user interface of a messaging application on the display, the messaging user interface including a conversation transcript (eg, displayed in a first area of the display) of a messaging session between a user of the electronic device and at least one other user (e.g., of another electronic device), a plurality of electronic stickers (e.g., a sticker pack displayed in a second area of the display), and a message-input area. For example in Figure SAF, device 100-1 displays messaging user interface 3500, including conversation transcript 3700, electronic sticker pack 3892, — including electronic stickers 3906, 3908, and 3910, and message-input area 3502.

[00237] While displaying the messaging user interface (e.g., user interface 3500), the device detects (6404) a first user input (e.g., by a first contact on a touch-sensitive surface, such as a drag gesture or a tap gesture) while a focus selector is at a first location in the messaging user interface that corresponds to a first electronic sticker in the plurality of electronic stickers (e.g., detect a drag gesture by a contact on a touch-sensitive display that starts at the first electronic sticker and moves in a first direction, or detect a drag gesture by a contact on a touch-sensitive surface that starts while a cursor or other pointer is at the first electronic sticker on the display and moves the pointer in a first direction on the display). In some embodiments, the first electronic sticker is initially not within the conversation transcript (e.g., the first electronic sticker is in a sticker pack displayed in a second area of the display).

[00238] For example, device 100-1 detects an input including: a drag gesture, including movement 3942 of contact 3940 from position 3940-a, over electronic snowman sticker 3906 displayed in sticker pack 3904, in Figure SAG, through position 3940-b, in — Figure SAH, to position 3940-c, in Figure SAT; increases in a characteristic intensity of contact 3940 between Figures SAG-5AH and SAH-SAT, respectively; a decrease in a characteristic intensity of contact 3940 between Figure SAI and Figure SAJ; and a rotation gesture, including rotation 3944 of contact 3940 from orientation (e.g., position) 3940-c, in Figure SAK, to orientation (e.g., position) 3940-d, in Figure SAL.

[00239] In response to detecting the first user input, the device (6406) places and displays the first electronic sticker in the conversation transcript. For example, device 100-

DK 180979 B1 71 1 displays electronic sticker 3906 at position (e.g., location and orientation) 3906-f, in Figure SAM.

[00240] While the first electronic sticker is displayed in the conversation transcript, the device (6408): detects a second user input while a focus selector is at a second location inthe messaging user interface that corresponds to the first electronic sticker in the conversation transcript (e.g., detect a drag gesture, a portion of a depinch gesture, or a rotate gesture by a contact on a touch-sensitive display that starts at the location of the first electronic sticker in the transcript, or detect a drag gesture, a portion of a depinch gesture, or a rotate gesture by a contact on a touch-sensitive surface that starts while a cursor or other — pointer is at the location of the first electronic sticker in the transcript).

[00241] For example, device 100-1 detects an input including: movement 3948 of contact 3946, within conversation transcript 3700, from position 3946-a, in Figure SAN, to position 3946-b, in Figure SAO; an increase in a characteristic intensity of contact 3946 between Figure SAO and Figure SAP; and rotation 3950 of contact 3946 from orientation (e.g, position) 3946-b, in Figure SAQ, to orientation (e.g., position) 3946-c, in Figure SR.

[00242] In some embodiments, the first and second user inputs are first and second parts of a single continuous input, e.g., a drag gesture followed by a pinch or rotation gesture made with the same contact.

[00243] In response to detecting the second user input, the device (6408) changes the — position, size, and/or rotation of the first electronic sticker in the conversation transcript. (e.g., while maintaining a constant display of the conversation transcript behind the first electronic sticker).

[00244] For example, device 100-1 moves electronic snowman sticker 3906 from position 3906-1, in Figure SAN, to position 3906-g, in Figure SAO. In another example, — device 100-1 increases the size of electronic snowman sticker 3906, displayed in transcript 3700, between Figure SAO and Figure SAP. In another example, device 100-1 rotates electronic snowman sticker 3906 from orientation (e.g., position) 3906-g, in Figure SAQ, to orientation (e.g., position) 3906-h, in Figure SAR.

[00245] In some embodiments, the size of the first electronic sticker is reduced (6410) in response to detecting a pinch gesture that includes movement of a first contact

DK 180979 B1 72 towards a second contact, wherein the pinch gesture started while a focus selector was at a location in the messaging user interface that corresponds to the first electronic sticker (e.g, pinching while over the electronic sticker reduces the display size of the sticker without changing the display size of the conversation transcript).

100246] In some embodiments, the size of the first electronic sticker is increased (6412) in response to detecting a depinch gesture that includes movement of a first contact away from a second contact, wherein the depinch gesture started while a focus selector was at a location in the messaging user interface that corresponds to the first electronic sticker (e.g., depinching while over the electronic sticker increases the display size of the sticker without changing the display size of the conversation transcript).

[00247] In some embodiments, the size of the first electronic sticker is increased (6414) in accordance with a (e.g., change in a) characteristic intensity of a contact made while a focus selector was at a location in the messaging user interface that corresponds to the first electronic sticker. For example, the size of electronic snowman sticker 3906 is — increased between Figures SAG-5AH, SAH-5AI, and SAO-5AP, respectively.

[00248] In some embodiments, the size of the first electronic sticker is decreased in accordance with a (e.g., change in a) characteristic intensity of a contact made while a focus selector was at a location in the messaging user interface that corresponds to the first electronic sticker. For example, the size of electronic snowman sticker 3906 is decreased between Figure SAI and Figure SAJ.

[00249] In some embodiments, the orientation of the first electronic sticker is changed (6416) in response to detecting a rotation gesture that started while a focus selector was at a location in the messaging user interface that corresponds to the first electronic sticker. For example, the orientation (e.g., position) of electronic snowman sticker 3906 is — rotated from orientation 3906-e, in Figure SAK, to orientation 3906-f, in Figure SAL. In another example, the orientation (e.g., position) of electronic snowman sticker 3906 is rotated from orientation 3906-g, in Figure SAQ, to orientation 3906-h, in Figure SAR.

[00250] In some embodiments, the rotation gesture includes rotation of a single user contact. In some embodiments, the rotation gesture includes rotation of a first contact relative to a second contact.

DK 180979 B1 73

[00251] In some embodiments, after detecting the first user input, the device transmits (6418) information that represents the first electronic sticker to one or more (e.g, second) electronic devices that correspond to the at least one other user included in the messaging session, wherein the one or more electronic devices display a corresponding representation of the first electronic sticker in a corresponding location (e.g., a corresponding location, size, and rotation) within a corresponding conversation transcript (e.g., corresponding to the messaging session).

[00252] In some embodiments, information that represents the first electronic sticker is sent in response to detecting the first user input (e.g., upon detection of lift-off of contact 3940 in Figure SAM), and subsequent movement, resizing, and/or rotation of the sticker causes the device to send subsequent information that represents the first electronic sticker (e.g., the position, including location, size, and/or orientation) (e.g., upon detection of lift- off of contact 3946 in Figure SAS).

[00253] In some embodiments, information that represents the first electronic sticker is not sent until the user has finally positioned, sized, and/or rotated the sticker within the conversation transcript (e.g., with the second user input). For example, information is sent upon detection of lift-off of contact 3946 in Figure SAS, but not upon detection of lift-off of contact 3940 in Figure SAM.

[00254] In some embodiments, once the user places, sizes, and/or rotates the electronic sticker, further modifications to the sticker in the transcript cannot be made (e.g., detection of a second input, including second contact 3946, in Figure SAN, would not cause device 100-1 to move, resize, or rotate electronic snowman sticker 3906 within conversation transcript 3700).

[00255] In some embodiments, once the user places, sizes, and/or rotates the electronic sticker, further modifications to the sticker in the transcript can only be made within a predetermined time period (e.g., initiation of further modifications) beginning at termination of the first input, placing the sticker in the conversation transcript. For example, detection of a second input, including second contact 3946, in Figure SAN, would only cause device 100-1 to move, resize, or rotate electronic snowman sticker 3906 within conversation transcript 3700 if the second input was first detected within the predefined time period.

DK 180979 B1 74

[00256] In some embodiments, after transmitting the information that represents the first electronic sticker to the one or more electronic devices, the device (6420) detects a third user input while a focus selector is at a third location in the messaging user interface that corresponds to the first electronic sticker in the conversation transcript and, in response to detecting the third user input: changes the position of the first electronic sticker in the conversation transcript for a second time, and sends information to the one or more electronic devices that correspond to the at least one other user included in the messaging session that the position of the first electronic sticker was changed in the conversation transcript, wherein the one or more electronic devices make corresponding changes to the — position of the first electronic sticker within the corresponding conversation transcript (e.g., to match or mirror the changes made in the first user’s conversation transcript).

[00257] In some embodiments, only the user who posted the sticker to the messaging session can change the position, size, or rotation of the sticker. In some embodiments, any user included in the messaging session can change the position, size, and/or rotation of the sticker. In some embodiments, no user can change the position, size and/or rotation of the sticker once it has been posted to the messaging session.

[00258] In some embodiments, after transmitting the information that represents the first electronic sticker to the one or more electronic devices, the device (6422) detects a third user input while a focus selector is at a third location in the messaging user interface — that corresponds to the first electronic sticker in the conversation transcript and, in response to detecting the third user input: changes the rotation (e.g., orientation) of the first electronic sticker in the conversation transcript for a second time, and sends information to the one or more electronic devices that correspond to the at least one other user included in the messaging session that the rotation (e.g., orientation) of the first electronic sticker was changed in the conversation transcript, wherein the one or more electronic devices make corresponding changes to the rotation (e.g., orientation) of the first electronic sticker within the corresponding conversation transcript (e.g., to match or mirror the changes made in the first user’s conversation transcript).

[00259] In some embodiments, only the user who posted the sticker to the messaging — session can change the position, size, or rotation of the sticker. In some embodiments, any user included in the messaging session can change the position, size, and/or rotation of the

DK 180979 B1 75 sticker. In some embodiments, no user can change the position, size and/or rotation of the sticker once it has been posted to the messaging session.

[00260] In some embodiments, after transmitting the information that represents the first electronic sticker to the one or more electronic devices, the device (6424) detects a — third user input while a focus selector is at a third location in the messaging user interface that corresponds to the first electronic sticker in the conversation transcript and, in response to detecting the third user input: changes the size of the first electronic sticker in the conversation transcript for a second time, and sends information to the one or more electronic devices that correspond to the at least one other user included in the messaging — session that the size of the first electronic sticker was changed in the conversation transcript, wherein the one or more electronic devices make corresponding changes to the size of the first electronic sticker within the corresponding conversation transcript (e.g., to match or mirror the changes made in the first user's conversation transcript).

[00261] In some embodiments, only the user who posted the sticker to the messaging session can change the position, size, or rotation of the sticker. In some embodiments, any user included in the messaging session can change the position, size, and/or rotation of the sticker. In some embodiments, no user can change the position, size and/or rotation of the sticker once it has been posted to the messaging session.

[00262] In some embodiments, after transmitting the information that represents the first electronic sticker to the one or more electronic devices, the device receives information from an electronic device that corresponds to another user included in the messaging session that the position, size, and/or orientation of a corresponding representation of the first electronic sticker was changed in a corresponding conversation transcript and, in response, changes the position, size, and/or orientation of the first electronic sticker in the conversation transcript. For example, device 100-1 receives information from device 100-2 at 9:56 AM and, in response, changes the position, size, and orientation of electronic snowman sticker 3906 from location 3906-h, in Figure SAS, to location 3906-i, in Figure SAT.

[00263] In some embodiments, in response to detecting the first user input, the device changes (6426) the position, of the first electronic sticker (e.g., the size, position, and orientation of the sticker can be changes while still displayed in the sticker pack and/or

DK 180979 B1 76 while being dragged into the conversation transcript). For example, movement of electronic snowman sticker 3906 from position 3906-a, in Figure SAG, through position 3906-d, in Figure SAH, to position 3906-e, in Figure SAL

[00264] In some embodiments, in response to detecting the first user input, the device changes (6428) the size of the first electronic sticker (e.g., the size, position, and orientation of the sticker can be changes while still displayed in the sticker pack and/or while being dragged into the conversation transcript). For example, the size of electronic snowman sticker 3906 is increased between Figures SAG-SAH and SAH-5AI, respectively. In another example, the size of electronic snowman sticker 3906 is decreased between Figure SAI and Figure SAJ.

[00265] In some embodiments, in response to detecting the first user input, the device changes (6430) the rotation of the first electronic sticker (e.g., the size, position, and orientation of the sticker can be changes while still displayed in the sticker pack and/or while being dragged into the conversation transcript). For example, electronic snowman sticker 3906 is rotated from orientation (e.g., position) 3906-e, in Figure SAK, to orientation (e.g., position) 3906-f, in Figure SAL.

[00266] It should be understood that the particular order in which the operations in Figures 8 A-8C have been described is merely exemplary and is not intended to indicate that the described order is the only order in which the operations could be performed.

Additionally, it should be noted that details of other processes described herein with respect to other methods described herein (e.g., method 6200) are also applicable in an analogous manner to method 6400 described above with respect to Figures 8A-8C. For example, the contacts, gestures, user interface objects, tactile outputs, intensity thresholds, focus selectors, and animations described above with reference to method 6400 optionally have one or more of the characteristics of the contacts, gestures, user interface objects, tactile outputs, intensity thresholds, focus selectors, and animations described herein with reference to other methods described herein (e.g., method 6200). For brevity, these details are not repeated here.

[00281] The operations described above with reference to Figures 8 A-8C are, optionally, implemented by components depicted in Figures 1A-1B or Figure 9. For example, detection operations 6404 and 6408 are, optionally, implemented by event sorter 170, event recognizer 180, and event handler 190. Event monitor 171 in event sorter 170 detects a contact on touch-sensitive display 112, and event dispatcher module 174 delivers the event information to application 136-1. A respective event recognizer 180 of application 136-1 compares the event information to respective event definitions 186, and determines whether a first contact at a first location on the touch-sensitive surface (or whether rotation ofthe device) corresponds to a predefined event or sub-event, such as selection of an object on a user interface, or rotation of the device from one orientation to another.
