Abstract:
A portable electronic device with a touch screen display for photo management is disclosed. One aspect of the invention involves a computer-implemented method in which the portable electronic device displays an array of thumbnail images corresponding to a set of photographic images. The device replaces the displayed array of thumbnail images with a user-selected photographic image upon detecting a user contact with a corresponding thumbnail image in the array. The user-selected photographic image is displayed at a larger scale than the corresponding thumbnail image. The portable device displays a different photographic image in replacement of the user-selected photographic image in accordance with a scrolling gesture. The scrolling gesture comprises a substantially horizontal movement of user contact with the touch screen display.
Abstract:
A portable electronic device for instant messaging is disclosed. One aspect of the invention involves a graphical user interface (GUI) on a portable electronic device with a touch screen display. The GUI has a set of messages exchanged between a user of the device and another person. The set of messages are displayed in a chronological order. In response to detecting a scrolling gesture comprising a substantially vertical movement of a user contact with the touch screen display, the display of messages are scrolled in accordance with a direction of the scrolling gesture. The detecting of the scrolling gesture is substantially independent of a horizontal position of the user contact with the touch screen display.
Abstract:
In some embodiments of the invention, a graphical user interface in an electronic device with a touch screen display and power switch includes one or more user-interface objects to assist a user in powering-off the device while avoiding unintended power-off events due to inadvertent contact with the power switch or the touch screen display.
Abstract:
In a computer-implemented method at least a portion of a structured electronic document comprising content is displayed on a touch screen display of a portable electronic device. A gesture is detected on an item of inline multimedia content in the displayed portion of the structured electronic document. In response, the item of inline multimedia content on the touch screen display is enlarged and display of other content in the structured electronic document besides the enlarged item of inline multimedia content is ceased. A gesture on a play icon is detected. In response, the enlarged item of inline multimedia content is played.
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.
Abstract:
Deletion gestures for use on a portable multifunction device with a touch-sensitive display are disclosed. In some embodiments, a computer-implemented method for use in conjunction with the portable multifunction device comprises displaying a list of items on the touch- sensitive display, detecting a first gesture on the touch-sensitive display to edit the list of items, responding to the first gesture by displaying a first icon next to each deletable item in the list, detecting a second gesture on the touch-sensitive display to select one of the deletable items, and responding to the second gesture by displaying a second icon next to the selected item. If a third gesture on the second icon is detected, the selected deletable item is deleted. If a fourth gesture on the first icon next to the selected deletable item is detected, the second icon is deleted.
Abstract:
Rolling gestures on a touch sensitive surface of a device can be used to control the device or to remotely control another device. The device detects a roll (810), determines a parameter of the roll (815) and performs an operation relating to the device or the other device based on the determined parameter (820). The touch sensitive surface of the device can be positioned on the device to enable a set of gestures for configuring the operation of the device, for operating the device and for enabling additional gestures for operating the device.
Abstract:
A computer- implemented method is performed' at a portable multifunction device (100) with a touch screen display (112). The method includes: displaying a voicemail setup user interface (3200F, 3200G) on the touch screen display (112), the user interface (3200F, 3200G) including a password setup icon (3246) and a greeting setup icon (3248); detecting a user selection of the password setup icon (3246); upon detecting user selection of the password setup icon (3246), displaying an input field (3249) and a key pad (2902); detecting a user selection of the greeting setup icon (3248); and upon detecting user selection of the greeting setup icon (3248), displaying a record icon (3250), a play icon (3252), and a reset icon (3256).
Abstract:
A user interface for handling multiple calls includes displaying an image associated with a first party on a first call and an image associated with a second party on a second call. When one call is active and the other call is on hold, the image associated with the party that is on the active call is visually highlighted to make it more visually prominent relative to the other image. When both calls are joined into a conference call, both images are displayed adjacent to each other and neither is visually highlighted relative to the other.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for providing email at a portable communications device with a touch screen display is disclosed. A first portion of a list of entries with information about corresponding electronic messages is displayed in a first area of the touch screen display. A first portion of an electronic message that corresponds to an entry in the list of entries is displayed in a second area of the touch screen display that is separate from the first area. In response to a first gesture by a user in the first area of the touch screen display, the list of entries is scrolled to display a second portion of the list of entries. In response to a second gesture by the user in the second area of the touch screen display, the electronic message is moved in two dimensions to display a second portion of the electronic message.
