Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to receiving a user input corresponding to a rotation of a rotatable input mechanism and in accordance with the user input, adjusting a brightness level of a display screen during a brightening configuration session.
Claims48
An electronic device, comprising:
- a display screen;
- an accelerometer;
- a rotatable input mechanism that is physically rotatable relative to a housing of the electronic device;
- 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, which when executed by the one or more processors of the electronic device, which cause the one or more processors to:
- receive a user input at the electronic device while the display screen of the electronic device is in a first state;
- and
- in response to receiving the user input:
- when it is determined that the user input, received while the display screen of the electronic device is in the first state, corresponds to a first rotation of the rotatable input mechanism and is received while a quiet mode of the electronic device is active, transition, in response to the user input, the display screen from the first state to a second state, wherein the display screen in the second state is brighter than the display screen in the first state;
- when it is determined that the user input, received while the display screen of the electronic device is in the first state, is a wrist raise gesture and is received while the quiet mode of the electronic device is inactive, transition, in response to the user input, the display screen from the first state to the second state;
- and
- when it is determined that the user input, received while the display screen of the electronic device is in the first state, is the wrist raise gesture and is received while the quiet mode of the electronic device is active, maintain the display screen in the first state.

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 screen an accelerometer, and a rotatable input mechanism that is physically rotatable relative to a housing of the electronic device, which cause the one or more processors to:
- receive a user input at the electronic device while the display screen of the electronic device is in a first state;
- and
- in response to receiving the user input:
- when it is determined that the user input, received while the display screen of the electronic device is in the first state, corresponds to a first rotation of the rotatable input mechanism and is received while a quiet mode of the electronic device is active, transition, in response to the user input, the display screen from the first state to a second display state, wherein the display screen in the second state is brighter than the display screen in the first state;
- when it is determined that the user input, received while the display screen of the electronic device is in the first state, is a wrist raise gesture and is received while the quiet mode of the electronic device is inactive, transition, in response to the user input, the display screen from the first state to the second state;
- and
- when it is determined that the user input, received while the display screen of the electronic device is in the first state, is the wrist raise gesture and is received while the quiet mode of the electronic device is active, maintain the display screen in the first state.

A method, performed by one or more processors of an electronic device with an accelerometer, rotatable input mechanism that is physically rotatable relative to the housing of the electronic device, and a display screen, comprising:
- at the electronic device with the accelerometer, the rotatable input mechanism that is physically rotatable relative to the housing of the electronic device, and the display screen:
- receiving a user input at the electronic device while the display screen of the electronic device is in a first state;
- and
- in response to receiving the user input:
- when it is determined that the user input, received while the display screen of the electronic device is in the first state, corresponds to a first rotation of the rotatable input mechanism and is received while a quiet mode of the electronic device is active, transitioning, in response to the user input, the display screen from the first state to a second display state, wherein the display screen in the second state is brighter than the display screen in the first state;
- when it is determined that the user input, received while the display screen of the electronic device is in the first state, is a wrist raise gesture and is received while the quiet mode of the electronic device is inactive, transitioning, in response to the user input, the display screen from the first state to the second state;
- and
- when it is determined that the user input, received while the display screen of the electronic device is in the first state, is the wrist raise gesture and is received while the quiet mode of the electronic device is active, maintaining the display screen in the first state.
