    Abstract: An electronic device displays a first user interface that includes a plurality of application icons that correspond to different applications of a plurality of applications installed on the device. The device detects a first input at a location on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to a first application icon of the plurality of application icons, the first application icon corresponding to a first application of the plurality of applications. In response to detecting the first input, the device displays a first mini application object or a preview of the first mini application object in an overlay region, where the first mini application object corresponds to a first application of the plurality of applications; and the overlay region includes an affordance for adding the first mini application object to a second user interface that displays a plurality of mini application objects. The device detects a second input at a location on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to the affordance for adding the first mini application object to the second user interface. In response to detecting the second input, the device adds the first mini application object to the second user interface that displays the plurality of mini application objects.

    Abstract: Systems and processes are disclosed for controlling television user interactions using a virtual assistant. A virtual assistant can interact with a television set-top box to control content shown on a television. Speech input for the virtual assistant can be received from a device with a microphone. User intent can be determined from the speech input, and the virtual assistant can execute tasks according to the user's intent, including causing playback of media on the television. Virtual assistant interactions can be shown on the television in interfaces that expand or contract to occupy a minimal amount of space while conveying desired information. Multiple devices associated with multiple displays can be used to determine user intent from speech input as well as to convey information to users. In some examples, virtual assistant query suggestions can be provided to the user based on media content shown on a display.

    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.
