    Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, a method is performed at an electronic device with a display, radio frequency (RF) circuitry, and one or more input devices. The device displays a first user interface on the display. While displaying the first user interface, the device detects a pairing request to pair a first peripheral with the electronic device. In response to detecting the pairing request, the device determines whether the first peripheral meets coupling criteria, wherein the coupling criteria require that the first peripheral is coupled to a second peripheral. In accordance with a determination that the first peripheral meets the coupling criteria, the device displays a pairing affordance that initiates pairing of the electronic device with the first peripheral. In accordance with a determination that the first peripheral does not meet the coupling criteria, the device displays information concerning coupling of the first peripheral and the second peripheral.

    Abstract: While displaying a first user interface that corresponds to a display-on state of an electronic device, the device detects a swipe gesture on a touch-sensitive surface. In response to detecting the swipe gesture: when the swipe gesture is in a first direction, the device replaces display of the first user interface with display of a camera application user interface; when the swipe gesture is in a second direction, the device replaces display of the first user interface with display of a mini application object user interface that is configured to include a plurality of mini application objects; when the swipe gesture is in a third direction, the device displays a first page of a multipage control panel user interface; and when the swipe gesture is in a fourth direction, the device displays a notifications user interface that is configured to display a plurality of notifications.

    Abstract: A controller may have an input device and a sensor adjacent to the input device. The input device may be a touch sensor, a touch screen display, a button, a rotatable knob, or other device that gathers user input. The input device may be reachable by different users occupying different respective seats. The sensor may be an infrared optical sensor that emits infrared light and measures the emitted infrared light after the emitted infrared light has reflected from the hand of a user. The sensor may determine from these hand measurements which of the different users is supplying user input to the input device. Hand distance information and other information on the current user of the input device may also be gathered. The input device may be deployed by an actuator based on hand speed information.
