Claims30
An electronic device, comprising:
- a touch-sensitive display,
- one or more processors;
- 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:
- displaying, on the touch-sensitive display, an indication of an incoming call;
- displaying a first answer affordance, wherein the first answer affordance, when selected, causes the incoming call to be answered;
- displaying a decline affordance, wherein the decline affordance, when selected, causes the incoming call to be ended;
- detecting user input;
- and
- in response to the detected user input, displaying an additional affordance,
- wherein the additional affordance, when selected, causes information about the incoming call to be communicated to the cellular phone,
- wherein the information about the incoming call causes the cellular phone to display information indicating that the incoming call is on hold while concurrently displaying a second answer affordance, and
- wherein the second answer affordance, when selected, causes the cellular phone to retrieve the incoming call.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- displaying, on the touch-sensitive display, an indication of an incoming call;
- displaying a first answer affordance, wherein the first answer affordance, when selected, causes the incoming call to be answered;
- displaying a decline affordance, wherein the decline affordance, when selected, causes the incoming call to be ended;
- detecting user input;
- and
- in response to the detected user input, displaying an additional affordance,
- wherein the additional affordance, when selected, causes information about the incoming call to be communicated to the cellular phone,
- wherein the information about the incoming call causes the cellular phone to display information indicating that the incoming call is on hold while concurrently displaying a second answer affordance, and
- wherein the second answer affordance, when selected, causes the cellular phone to retrieve the incoming call.
A method, comprising:
- at an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display, wherein the electronic device is configured to communicate with a cellular phone:
- displaying, on the touch-sensitive display, an indication of an incoming call;
- displaying a first answer affordance, wherein the first answer affordance, when selected, causes the incoming call to be answered;
- displaying a decline affordance, wherein the decline affordance, when selected, causes the incoming call to be ended;
- detecting user input;
- and
- in response to the detected user input, displaying an additional affordance,
- wherein the additional affordance, when selected, causes information about the incoming call to be communicated to the cellular phone,
- wherein the information about the incoming call causes the cellular phone to display information indicating that the incoming call is on hold while concurrently displaying a second answer affordance, and
- wherein the second answer affordance, when selected, causes the cellular phone to retrieve the incoming call.
