Abstract

The present disclosure provides various user interfaces and techniques for enrolling a biometric feature of a user. In some embodiments, a biometric feature is enrolled using an enrollment interface that includes a progress indicator. In some embodiments, a biometric feature is enrolled using an enrollment interface that includes a cropped video feed. In some embodiments, a biometric feature is enrolled using an enrollment interface that includes a plurality of layers that provide alignment information. In some embodiments, an enrollment interface outputs feedback to correct errors based on a priority of the errors.

Dependent claims

A computer system configured to communicate with a set of one or more display generation components and one or more cameras, the computer system 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:
during a biometric enrollment process that includes capturing information about a biometric feature of a person, displaying an enrollment user interface, including displaying, in the enrollment user interface:
an enrollment progress indicator that represents progress of the biometric enrollment process;
and
a representation of a view of the biometric feature captured by the one or more cameras;
while displaying the enrollment user interface with the representation of the view of the biometric feature, detecting a change in enrollment progress;
and
in response to detecting the change in enrollment progress, changing an appearance of the enrollment user interface, including:
in accordance with a determination that the enrollment progress is in a first state:
displaying the enrollment progress indicator with a first appearance;
and
displaying the representation of the view of the biometric feature having a first visual effect that changes an appearance of visible portions of the representation of the view of the biometric feature, wherein the first visual effect is based on the first appearance of the enrollment progress indicator and the first visual effect is maintained over a respective portion of the biometric feature while the biometric feature is moved relative to the one or more cameras to complete a first portion of enrollment of the biometric feature that corresponds to the first state of enrollment progress;
and
in accordance with a determination that the enrollment progress is in a second state that is different from the first state:
displaying the enrollment progress indicator with a second appearance different from the first appearance;
and
displaying the representation of the view of the biometric feature having a second visual effect that changes an appearance of visible portions of the representation of the view of the biometric feature, wherein the second visual effect is based on the second appearance of the enrollment progress indicator and the second visual effect is maintained over a respective portion of the biometric feature while the biometric feature is moved relative to the one or more cameras to complete a second portion of enrollment of the biometric feature that corresponds to the second state of enrollment progress.

and
in accordance with a determination that the enrollment progress is in a second state that is different from the first state:
displaying the enrollment progress indicator with a second appearance different from the first appearance;
and
displaying the representation of the view of the biometric feature having a second visual effect that changes an appearance of visible portions of the representation of the view of the biometric feature, wherein the second visual effect is based on the second appearance of the enrollment progress indicator and the second visual effect is maintained over a respective portion of the biometric feature while the biometric feature is moved relative to the one or more cameras to complete a second portion of enrollment of the biometric feature that corresponds to the second state of enrollment progress.
