Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electronic apparatus for determining commands by applying heuristics to user gestures detected on a touch screen display. SOLUTION: A method for determining command by applying heuristics includes the steps of: detecting one or more finger contacts with a touch screen display; applying one or more heuristics to the one or more finger contacts to determine a command to a device; and processing the command. The one or more heuristics include: a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts correspond to a one-dimensional vertical screen scrolling command; a heuristic for determining that the one or more finger contacts correspond to a two-dimensional screen translation command; and a heuristic for determining the one or more finger contacts correspond to a command to transition from displaying a respective item in a set of items to displaying a next item in the set of items.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an efficient user interface for using emoji characters.SOLUTION: A portable electronic device with a touch screen display simultaneously displays a character input area, which is operable to display text character input and emoji character input selected by a user, a keyboard display area, and a plurality of emoji category icons. In response to detecting a gesture on one of the emoji category icons, the device simultaneously displays: a first subset of emoji character keys for a corresponding emoji category in the keyboard display area and a plurality of subset-sequence-indicia icons for the corresponding emoji category. The device also detects a gesture in the keyboard display area; and in response, replaces display of the first subset of emoji character keys with display of a second subset of emoji character keys for the corresponding emoji category, and updates the information provided by the subset-sequence-indicia icons.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electronic device which determines a command by applying heuristics to a user gesture detected on a touch screen display.SOLUTION: A computing method using the touch screen display includes: a step of determining the command for the device by applying one or more heuristics to one or more finger touches on the touch screen display; and a step of processing the command. The one or more heuristics include a heuristic method for determining that the one or more finger touches correspond to a linear vertical screen scrolling command, a heuristic method for determining that the one or more finger touches correspond to a two-dimensional screen translational movement command, and a heuristic method for determining a command for transition to displaying of respective items in an item set by the one or more finger touches and further displaying of a next item in the item set.
Abstract:
A portable multifunction device (100) displays a first icon and a second icon on its touch screen display (112). In response to a sequence of finger movements across the first and second icons, wherein the finger stays in contact with the touch screen display (112) during the movements, the portable device highlights the first icon for at least a predefined time period if a parameter such as distance, pressure, contact area, voltage or capacity, associated with the finger' s position relative to the touch screen display (112) meets a first predefined condition and then highlights the second icon for at least the predefined time period if the parameter associated with the finger's position relative to the touch screen display (112) meets a second predefined condition. The pre-defined conditions may comprise the finger moving into a pre-defined range around the icons.

Abstract:
The electronic device with one or more processors and memory receives an input of a user. The electronic device, in accordance with the input, identifies a respective task type from a plurality of predefined task types associated with a plurality of third party service providers. The respective task type is associated with at least one third party service provider for which the user is authorized and at least one third party service provider for which the user is not authorized. In response to identifying the respective task type, the electronic device sends a request to perform at least a portion of a task to a third party service provider of the plurality of third party service providers that is associated with the respective task type.
