    Abstract: One embodiment of the present disclosure is directed to a wearable electronic device. The wearable electronic device includes an enclosure having a sidewall with a button aperture defined therethrough, a display connected to the enclosure, a processing 5 element in communication with the display. The device also includes a sensing element in communication with the processing element and an input button at least partially received within the button aperture and in communication with the sensing element, the input button configured to receive two types of user inputs. During operation, the sensing element tracks movement of the input button to determine the two types of user inputs.

    Abstract: An electronic device: displays a home button configuration user interface with a plurality of different tactile output settings for the home button. While displaying the home button configuration user interface, the device detects selection of a respective tactile output setting. In response to detecting a first input of a first type on the home button (while the respective tactile output setting is selected), the device determines whether the respective tactile output setting is a first or a second tactile output setting for the home button. If the respective tactile output setting is the first tactile output setting, the device provides a first tactile output without dismissing the home button configuration user interface. If the respective tactile output setting is the second tactile output setting, the device provides a second tactile output without dismissing the home button configuration user interface. 1502 At an electronic device with a touch-sensitive surface, a display, one or more tactile output generators, and one or more sensors to detect intensities of contacts with a home button of the device, display, on the display, a user interface 1504 While displaying the user interface, detect an input sequence on the home button that includes detecting a first press input on the home button, wherein detecting the first press input includes detecting an increase in a characteristic intensity of a contact on the home button 1506 In response to detecting the first press input on the home button: in accordance with a determination that the first press input includes an increase in the characteristic intensity of the contact above a first intensity threshold, and that a change in the characteristic intensity of the contact proximate to a time when the characteristic intensity of the contact increases above the first intensity threshold has a first value for an intensity-change metric: performing a first operation that changes the user interface displayed on the display; and generating, via the one or more tactile output generators, a first discrete tactile output that corresponds to the increase in the characteristic intensity of the contact above the first intensity threshold; and in accordance with a determination that the first press input includes an increase in the characteristic intensity of the contact above the first intensity threshold, and that the change in the characteristic intensity of the contact proximate to the time when the characteristic intensity of the contact increases above the first intensity threshold has a second value for the intensity-change metric, different from the first value of the intensity-change metric: performing the first operation that changes the user interface displayed on the display; and generating, via the one or more tactile output generators, a second discrete tactile output that corresponds to the increase in the characteristic intensity of the contact above the first intensity threshold and is different from the first discrete tactile output Figure 15A

    Abstract: An electronic device can output a priming cue prior to outputting an alert on the electronic device. A priming cue can be a haptic priming cue, a visual priming cue, an audio priming cue, or various combinations of these priming cues. The priming cue can be perceived by a user either consciously or subconsciously and can increase a user's perceptual state for the alert.

    Abstract: An electronic device receives a first set of one or more inputs corresponding to user interface elements displayed on the display and a first set of one or more tactile outputs, and also receives a second set of one or more inputs corresponding to one or more hardware elements and a second set of one or more tactile outputs. In response, in accordance with a determination that the first set of one or more tactile outputs and the second set of one or more tactile outputs overlap, the device outputs, with one or more tactile output generators, a modified tactile output sequence that is modified so as to emphasize the second set of one or more tactile outputs relative to the first set of one or more tactile outputs.

    Abstract: An electronic device receives an incoming communication. The device determines, using one or more sensors, that the device is in a first use context. In response to receiving the incoming communication, the device provides first feedback indicative of the incoming communication. Providing the first feedback includes providing a first ongoing audio output for the incoming communication and providing a first ongoing tactile output for the incoming communication. While providing the first ongoing audio output and the first ongoing tactile output, the device detects, using one or more of the sensors, that the electronic device is in a second use context. In response to detecting that the electronic device is in the second use context, the device provides second feedback indicative of the incoming communication that is different from the first feedback. Providing the second feedback includes: providing a second ongoing tactile output for the incoming communication.
