Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to techniques and user interfaces for transitioning between a standard display mode and a low power display mode.
Claims42
A computer system that is in communication with a display generation component, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- while the computer system is in a first mode, displaying, via the display generation component, a first user interface that includes one or more user interface elements including a first user interface element, where the first user interface is associated with a first application;
- while displaying the first user interface in the first mode, detecting that the computer system has met one or more criteria for transitioning from the first mode to a second mode, wherein the second mode is a lower power mode than the first mode;
- in response to detecting that the computer system has met the one or more criteria for transitioning from the first mode to the second mode, entering the second mode, including displaying a second user interface that is associated with the first application, wherein:
- the second user interface corresponds to the first user interface and is displayed at a location that occupies at least a portion of a display region that was occupied by the first user interface and includes the one or more user interface elements including a second user interface element;
- and
- the second user interface element includes a displayed numerical value;
- and
- while the computer system is in the second mode, updating an appearance of the second user interface element periodically while maintaining the computer system in the second mode, wherein:
- in accordance with a determination that one or more time-sensitive update criteria are not satisfied, the appearance of the second user interface element is periodically updated at a first update frequency, including updating the appearance of the second user interface element multiple times at the first update frequency while maintaining the computer system in the second mode;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the one or more time-sensitive update criteria are satisfied, wherein the one or more time-sensitive update criteria includes a first criterion that is satisfied when the displayed numerical value is less than a predetermined numerical threshold, the appearance of the second user interface element is periodically updated at a second update frequency different from the first update frequency, wherein the second update frequency is greater than the first update frequency, including updating the appearance of the second user interface element multiple times at the second update frequency while maintaining the computer system in the second mode.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of a computer system that is in communication with a display generation component, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- while the computer system is in a first mode, displaying, via the display generation component, a first user interface that includes one or more user interface elements including a first user interface element, where the first user interface is associated with a first application;
- while displaying the first user interface in the first mode, detecting that the computer system has met one or more criteria for transitioning from the first mode to a second mode, wherein the second mode is a lower power mode than the first mode;
- in response to detecting that the computer system has met the one or more criteria for transitioning from the first mode to the second mode, entering the second mode, including displaying a second user interface that is associated with the first application, wherein:
- the second user interface corresponds to the first user interface and is displayed at a location that occupies at least a portion of a display region that was occupied by the first user interface and includes the one or more user interface elements including a second user interface element;
- and
- the second user interface element includes a displayed numerical value;
- and
- while the computer system is in the second mode, updating an appearance of the second user interface element periodically while maintaining the computer system in the second mode, wherein:
- in accordance with a determination that one or more time-sensitive update criteria are not satisfied, the appearance of the second user interface element is periodically updated at a first update frequency, including updating the appearance of the second user interface element multiple times at the first update frequency while maintaining the computer system in the second mode;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the one or more time-sensitive update criteria are satisfied, wherein the one or more time-sensitive update criteria includes a first criterion that is satisfied when the displayed numerical value is less than a predetermined numerical threshold, the appearance of the second user interface element is periodically updated at a second update frequency different from the first update frequency, wherein the second update frequency is greater than the first update frequency, including updating the appearance of the second user interface element multiple times at the second update frequency while maintaining the computer system in the second mode.

A method, comprising:
- at a computer system that is in communication with a display generation component:
- while the computer system is in a first mode, displaying, via the display generation component, a first user interface that includes one or more user interface elements including a first user interface element, where the first user interface is associated with a first application;
- while displaying the first user interface in the first mode, detecting that the computer system has met one or more criteria for transitioning from the first mode to a second mode, wherein the second mode is a lower power mode than the first mode;
- in response to detecting that the computer system has met the one or more criteria for transitioning from the first mode to the second mode, entering the second mode, including displaying a second user interface that is associated with the first application, wherein:
- the second user interface corresponds to the first user interface and is displayed at a location that occupies at least a portion of a display region that was occupied by the first user interface and includes the one or more user interface elements including a second user interface element;
- and
- the second user interface element includes a displayed numerical value;
- and
- while the computer system is in the second mode, updating an appearance of the second user interface element periodically while maintaining the computer system in the second mode, wherein:
- in accordance with a determination that one or more time-sensitive update criteria are not satisfied, the appearance of the second user interface element is periodically updated at a first update frequency, including updating the appearance of the second user interface element multiple times at the first update frequency while maintaining the computer system in the second mode;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that the one or more time-sensitive update criteria are satisfied, wherein the one or more time-sensitive update criteria includes a first criterion that is satisfied when the displayed numerical value is less than a predetermined numerical threshold, the appearance of the second user interface element is periodically updated at a second update frequency different from the first update frequency, wherein the second update frequency is greater than the first update frequency, including updating the appearance of the second user interface element multiple times at the second update frequency while maintaining the computer system in the second mode.
