User interface transitions

A system for providing a transition from a user interface displayed during a first computing state to a user interface displayed during a second computing state, the system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a machine-readable medium comprising instructions stored therein, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• receiving an indication of a change from an operational state in a computing device to a locked state in the computing device;
• identifying at least one user interface element in a user interface displayed during the operational state;
• determining whether each user interface element is to be removed based on a type of each user interface element and a priority level for each user interface element;
• determining whether a user interface element is to be moved to a new location for a user interface displayed during the locked state;
• and
• automatically transitioning the user interface displayed during the operational state to the user interface displayed during the locked state,
• wherein automatically transitioning the user interface comprises displaying the removal of a user interface element if the user interface element is to be removed, and moving the user interface element, without user interaction with the user interface element, to the new location if the user interface element is to be moved.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising instructions stored therein, which when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

• receiving an indication of a change from a first computing state in a computing device to a second computing state in the computing device;
• identifying at least one user interface element in a user interface displayed during the first computing state;
• determining whether each user interface element is to be removed based on a respective location of each user interface element;
• determining whether each user interface element is to be persisted based on the respective location of each user interface element;
• determining whether a persisted user interface element is to be moved to a new location for a user interface displayed during the locked state;
• and
• automatically transitioning the user interface displayed during the operational state to the user interface displayed during the locked state,
• wherein automatically transitioning the user interface comprises displaying the removal of a user interface element if the user interface element is to be removed, persisting the user interface element if the user interface element is to be persisted, and moving the user interface element, without user interaction with the user interface element, to the new location if the user interface element is to be moved.
