Abstract

An electronic device with a display can receive an alert comprising information, and in response to receiving the alert, issue a perceptual output. The device can detect a user input and determine whether the user input was detected within a predetermined time interval after the perceptual output. In accordance with a determination that the user input was detected within the predetermined time interval, the device can display a notification on the display, wherein the notification comprises a first portion of the information. If the device continues to detect the user input after a second predetermined time period, the device can display a second portion of the information, where the second portion is different from the first portion.

Claims45

Dependent claims

An electronic device, comprising:

a touch-sensitive display;
one or more processors;
a memory;
and
one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
receiving an alert comprising information;
in response to receiving the alert, displaying a notification, wherein the notification comprises a first portion of the information;
detecting a contact on the display at a location corresponding to the notification;
and
in response to detecting the contact on the display at the location corresponding to the notification:
in accordance with a determination that the contact meets an input threshold, displaying a plurality of user interface objects, where the plurality of user interface objects are associated with one or more actions corresponding to an application associated with the alert including one or more actions corresponding to the alert;
and
in accordance with a determination the contact does not meet the input threshold, displaying a user interface for the application associated with the alert without displaying the plurality of user interface objects.

10 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of an electronic device with a display, cause the device to:

receiving an alert comprising information;
in response to receiving the alert, displaying a notification, wherein the notification comprises a first portion of the information;
detecting a contact on the display at a location corresponding to the notification;
and
in response to detecting the contact on the display at the location corresponding to the notification:
in accordance with a determination that the contact meets an input threshold, displaying a plurality of user interface objects, where the plurality of user interface objects are associated with one or more actions corresponding to an application associated with the alert including one or more actions corresponding to the alert;
and
in accordance with a determination the contact does not meet the input threshold, displaying a user interface for the application associated with the alert without displaying the plurality of user interface objects.
