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 portable multifunction devices with more transparent, intuitive, and efficient user interfaces for managing voicemail messages.SOLUTION: A method includes: displaying a list of voicemail messages; detecting selection by a user of each voicemail message in the list; responding to the user selection of the voicemail message by initiating playback of the user-selected voicemail message; displaying a progress bar for the user-selected voicemail message; detecting movement of a finger of the user from a first position on the progress bar to a second position on the progress bar; and responding to the detection of the finger movement by restarting playback of the user-selected voicemail message at a position within the user-selected voicemail message corresponding substantially to the second position on the progress bar.
Abstract:
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 method comprising: at an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display: detecting a user input and in response to detecting the user input, displaying a plurality of affordances representing contacts; detecting user selection of a displayed affordance representing a contact; in response to detecting user selection of the displayed affordance, replacing the display of the plurality of affordances with a display of contact information identifying a selected contact, the selected contact represented by the selected affordance; detecting a touch on the touch-sensitive display while displaying the contact information; in response to detecting the touch: displaying a drawing area, wherein the drawing area is responsive to touch input; detecting a first touch input in the drawing area representing a first stroke; displaying a visual representation, in the drawing area, of the first stroke; and sending data representing the first stroke to an external device associated with the selected contact.
Abstract:
Systems, methods and machine readable media for processing voicemails are described. In one embodiment, a method includes presenting, on a first data processing system, a first user interface which is capable of presenting data representing a plurality of voicemails and receiving from the first user interface a selection for playback of one of the plurality of voicemails. The data representing the plurality of voicemails are received from a second data processing system which includes a voicemail system which records voicemails left for customers of a public telephone carrier, and the first user interface is configured to receive the selection of any one of the plurality of voicemails in any order. Systems, media and other methods are also described.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to aggregating and sharing wellness data. The wellness data can be received by a user device from any number of sensors external or internal to the user device, from a user manually entering the wellness data, or from other users or entities. The user device can securely store the wellness data on the user device and transmit the wellness data to be stored on a remote database. A user of the device can share some or all of the wellness data with friends, relatives, caregivers, healthcare providers, or the like. The user device can further display a user's wellness data in an aggregated view of different types of wellness data. Wellness data of other users can also be viewed if authorizations from those users have been received.
