Abstract: In one aspect of the invention, a computer-implemented method is disclosed for use in conjunction with a portable electronic device with a touch screen display. Upon detecting an incoming telephone call from a caller, a text identifier of the caller is displayed; an image associated with the caller is displayed; a call answer icon is displayed, which if selected by a user of the device, answers the incoming telephone call; and a call decline icon is displayed, which if selected by the user of the device, declines the incoming telephone call.

Abstract: A virtual assistant uses context information to supplement natural language or ges tural input from a user. Context helps to clarify the user's intent and to reduce the num ber of candidate interpretations of the user's input, and reduces the need for the user to provide excessive clarification input. Context can include any available information that is usable by the assistant to supplement explicit user input to constrain an information processing problem and/or to personalize results. Context can be used to constrain solu tions during various phases of processing, including, for example, speech recognition, natural language processing, task flow processing, and dialog generation.

Abstract: A virtual assistant uses context information to supplement natural language or gestural input from a user. Context helps to clarify the user's intent and to reduce the number of candidate interpretations of the user's input, and reduces the need for the user to provide excessive clarification input. Context can include any available information that is usable by the assistant to supplement explicit user input to constrain an information-processing problem and/or to personalize results. Context can be used to constrain solutions during various phases of processing, including, for example, speech recognition, natural language processing, task flow processing, and dialog generation.

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: Services for a personal electronic device are provided through which a form of background processing or multitasking is supported. The disclosed services permit user applications to take advantage of background processing without significant negative consequences to a user's experience of the foreground process or the personal electronic device's power resources. To effect the disclosed multitasking, one or more of a number of operational restrictions may be enforced. A consequence of such restrictions may be that a process will not be able to do in the background state, what it may be able to do if it were in the foreground state. Implementation of the disclosed services may be substantially transparent to the executing user applications and, in some cases, may be performed without the user application's explicit cooperation

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for use in conjunction with a computing device with a touch screen display comprises: detecting one or more finger contacts with the touch screen display, applying one or more heuristics to the one or more finger contacts to determine a command for the device, and processing the command. The one or more heuristics comprise: 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 that 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.
