    Abstract: A method for adjusting audio being outputted through a beam forming loudspeaker array. Program audio is rendered to drive the loudspeaker array to produce sound beams having i) a main content pattern that is aimed at a listener, superimposed with ii) several diffuse content patterns that are aimed away from the listener. In response to receiving an alert message that refers to alert audio, the portion of the program audio in the main pattern is moved into the diffuse patterns, and the alert audio is rendered to drive the loudspeaker array so that the portion of the program audio in the main pattern is replaced with the alert audio. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

    Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, a method is performed at an electronic device with a display, a touch-sensitive surface, and one or more sensors for detecting intensities of contacts on the touch-sensitive surface. The device concurrently displays, on the display: a background user interface; and a first version of a notification associated with a first application, wherein: the first version of the notification has a first size, the first version of the notification includes first content, and the first version of the notification is overlaid on the background user interface. While displaying the first version of the notification associated with the first application overlaid on the background user interface, the device detects a first portion of a first input that includes detecting a first contact at a location on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to the first version of the notification. In response to detecting the first portion of the first input: in accordance with a determination that the first portion of the first input meets application-launching criteria, wherein the application launching criteria do not require that a characteristic intensity of the first contact on the touch-sensitive surface meet a preview intensity threshold in order for the application launching criteria to be met, the device initiates a process to launch the first application, wherein launching the first application includes ceasing to display the background user interface and displaying a user interface associated with the first application; and, in accordance with a determination that the first portion of the first input meets notification expansion criteria, wherein the notification-expansion criteria require that the characteristic intensity of the first contact on the touch-sensitive surface meet the preview intensity threshold in order for the notification-expansion criteria to be met, the device displays a second version of the notification, wherein: the second version of the notification has a second size larger than the first size, the second version of the notification includes expanded notification content that is not displayed in the first version of the notification, and the second version of the notification is overlaid on the background user interface.

    Abstract: A device concurrently displays a background user interface and a first version of a notification associated with a first application. The device detects a first contact at a location that corresponds to the first version of the notification. In response to the detection, and upon a determination that the contact meets application-launching criteria, the device initiates a process to launch the first application. In response to the detecting, and upon a determination that the contact meets notification-expansion criteria, where the notification-expansion criteria require that the characteristic intensity of the contact meet a preview intensity threshold, the device displays a second version of the notification, where the second version of the notification has a size larger than the first version, includes expanded notification content that is not displayed in the first version, and is overlaid on the background user interface. Display a control user interface that includes a plurality of control affordances. Detect a first input by a contact at a location on a touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to a first control affordance, of the plurality of control affordances, on the display In response to detecting the first input: in accordance with a determination that the first input meets control toggle criteria, wherein the control toggle criteria do not require that a characteristic intensity of the contact meet a first intensity threshold in order for the control toggle criteria to be met, toggle a function of a control that corresponds to the first control affordance; and in accordance with a determination that the first input meets enhanced control criteria, wherein the enhanced control criteria require that the characteristic intensity of the contact meet the first intensity threshold in order for the enhanced control criteria to be met, display one or more modification options for the control that correspond to the first control affordance While displaying the one or more modification options for the control that correspond to the first control affordance, detect a second input that activates a first modification option of the one or more modification options Modify the control that corresponds to the first control affordance in accordance with the activated first modification option The second input that activates the first modification option also toggles the function of the control that corresponds to the first control affordance.

    Abstract: An electronic device displays, on a display, a user interface that includes first and second interactive regions of an application. While displaying the user interface, the device detects an input by a contact on the touch-sensitive surface at a location that corresponds to a user interface element in the first interactive region on the display. In response to detecting the input by the contact, when the input meets intensity-based activation criteria (e.g., the contact has a characteristic intensity above an intensity threshold), the device obscures the first interactive region of the application with the exception of the user interface element without obscuring the second interactive region of the application. When the input meets selection criteria (e.g., the contact has a characteristic intensity below the intensity threshold), the device performs a selection operation that corresponds to the user interface element without obscuring the first interactive region of the application.
