Abstract
Methods for sharing user-configurable graphical constructs, e.g., for use with a portable multifunction device, are disclosed. The methods described herein allow for sharing user-configurable graphical constructs that contain independently configurable graphical elements and graphical assets. Further disclosed are non-transitory computer-readable storage media, systems, and devices configured to perform the methods described herein.
Claims15
An electronic device, comprising:
- a display;
- 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:
- detecting an input corresponding to a request to obtain a user-configurable graphical construct from a respective source, wherein the input corresponding to the request to obtain the user-configurable graphical construct from the respective source includes reference information retrieved by the electronic device from a physical object that is in proximity to the electronic device;
- in response to detecting the input, obtaining, based on the reference information, data representing the user-configurable graphical construct;
- and
- causing display of the user-configurable graphical construct based on the data representing the user-configurable graphical construct.
A method, comprising:
- at an electronic device comprising a display, one or more processors, and memory:
- detecting an input corresponding to a request to obtain a user-configurable graphical construct from a respective source, wherein the input corresponding to the request to obtain the user-configurable graphical construct from the respective source includes reference information retrieved by the electronic device from a physical object that is in proximity to the electronic device;
- in response to detecting the input, obtaining, based on the reference information, data representing the user-configurable graphical construct;
- and
- causing display of the user-configurable graphical construct based on the data representing the user-configurable graphical construct.
A computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device with a display and memory, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- detecting an input corresponding to a request to obtain a user-configurable graphical construct from a respective source, wherein the input corresponding to the request to obtain the user-configurable graphical construct from the respective source includes reference information retrieved by the electronic device from a physical object that is in proximity to the electronic device;
- in response to detecting the input, obtaining, based on the reference information, data representing the user-configurable graphical construct;
- and
- causing display of the user-configurable graphical construct based on the data representing the user-configurable graphical construct.
