Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces for managing input mechanisms. In some examples, the electronic device transitions from a first mode into a second mode in accordance with a determination that the one or more characteristics of a user input detected via a second input mechanism of the electronic device meet a set of predefined criteria. In the first mode, a first input mechanism of the electronic device is restricted for user input. In the second mode, the first input mechanism of the electronic device is unrestricted for user input.
Claims19
An electronic device, comprising:
- a first input mechanism that comprises a touch-sensitive display;
- a second input mechanism;
- one or more processors;
- a memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- displaying a first user interface on the electronic device, where the electronic device has a plurality of modes of operation including a first mode and a second mode, wherein:
- the first input mechanism is restricted for user input in the first mode;
- and
- the first input mechanism is not restricted for user input in the second mode;
- while displaying the first user interface and while the electronic device is in the second mode of operation, detecting a first user input;
- in response to detecting the first user input, displaying a control panel that includes one or more affordances, wherein the one or more affordances include a first mode entering affordance;
- and
- in response to detecting a second user input corresponding to the first mode entering affordance, transitioning the electronic device from the second mode into the first mode.
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 speaker, a first input mechanism that comprises a touch-sensitive display, and a second input mechanism, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- displaying a first user interface on the electronic device, where the electronic device has a plurality of modes of operation including a first mode and a second mode, wherein:
- the first input mechanism is restricted for user input in the first mode;
- and
- the first input mechanism is not restricted for user input in the second mode;
- while displaying the first user interface and while the electronic device is in the second mode of operation, detecting a first user input;
- in response to detecting the first user input, displaying a control panel that includes one or more affordances, wherein the one or more affordances include a first mode entering affordance;
- and
- in response to detecting a second user input corresponding to the first mode entering affordance, transitioning the electronic device from the second mode into the first mode.
A method, comprising:
- at an electronic device with a speaker, a first input mechanism that comprises a touch-sensitive display, and a second input mechanism:
- displaying a first user interface on the electronic device, where the electronic device has a plurality of modes of operation including a first mode and a second mode, wherein:
- the first input mechanism is restricted for user input in the first mode;
- and
- the first input mechanism is not restricted for user input in the second mode;
- while displaying the first user interface and while the electronic device is in the second mode of operation, detecting a first user input;
- in response to detecting the first user input, displaying a control panel that includes one or more affordances, wherein the one or more affordances include a first mode entering affordance;
- and
- in response to detecting a second user input corresponding to the first mode entering affordance, transitioning the electronic device from the second mode into the first mode.
