Abstract
Some embodiments described in this disclosure are directed to one or more electronic devices that provide for locating a findable item that is associated with a respective electronic device, different from the one or more electronic devices. In some embodiments, the one or more electronic devices display user interfaces that present information for facilitating finding of a remote input device on an electronic device.
Claims14
A method comprising:
- at a first electronic device in communication with a display generation component and one or more input devices:
- displaying, via the display generation component, a remote-control user interface, wherein input directed to the remote-control user interface is configured to control a respective electronic device, different from the first electronic device, and the remote-control user interface includes:
- a remote device selection user interface including a representation of a second electronic device, different from the first electronic device, that is controllable from the remote-control user interface;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that one or more first criteria are satisfied, a first option associated with a first remote input device that is associated with the second electronic device;
- while displaying the remote-control user interface and the remote device selection user interface, detecting, via the one or more input devices, a first input corresponding to selection of the first option;
- and
- in response to detecting the first input, in accordance with a determination that the first remote input device is within a threshold distance of the first electronic device when the first input is detected, initiating a process to find the first remote input device.
A first electronic device, comprising:
- 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, via a display generation component, a remote-control user interface, wherein input directed to the remote-control user interface is configured to control a respective electronic device, different from the first electronic device, and the remote-control user interface includes:
- a remote device selection user interface including a representation of a second electronic device, different from the first electronic device, that is controllable from the remote-control user interface;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that one or more first criteria are satisfied, a first option associated with a first remote input device that is associated with the second electronic device;
- while displaying the remote-control user interface and the remote device selection user interface, detecting, via one or more input devices, a first input corresponding to selection of the first option;
- and
- in response to detecting the first input, in accordance with a determination that the first remote input device is within a threshold distance of the first electronic device when the first input is detected, initiating a process to find the first remote input device.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of a first electronic device, cause the first electronic device to perform a method comprising:
- displaying, via a display generation component, a remote-control user interface, wherein input directed to the remote-control user interface is configured to control a respective electronic device, different from the first electronic device, and the remote-control user interface includes:
- a remote device selection user interface including a representation of a second electronic device, different from the first electronic device, that is controllable from the remote-control user interface;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that one or more first criteria are satisfied, a first option associated with a first remote input device that is associated with the second electronic device;
- while displaying the remote-control user interface and the remote device selection user interface, detecting, via one or more input devices, a first input corresponding to selection of the first option;
- and
- in response to detecting the first input, in accordance with a determination that the first remote input device is within a threshold distance of the first electronic device when the first input is detected, initiating a process to find the first remote input device.
