Abstract
Techniques for configuring context-specific user interfaces for use with a portable multifunction device are disclosed. The context-specific user interfaces provide indications of time and, optionally, a variety of additional information. The methods provided herein allow for configuring such user interfaces, e.g., at a first electronic device coupled via wireless communication to a second electronic device. Further disclosed are non-transitory computer-readable storage media, systems, and devices configured to perform the methods described herein.
Claims30
A first 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, wherein the first electronic device is coupled via wireless communication to a second electronic device with a display, one or more processors, a memory, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- displaying on the display of the first electronic device a first user interface screen comprising:
- a first user interface preview image, the first user interface preview image representing a first user interface for display on the second electronic device, wherein the first user interface is configured according to a first watch face type and comprises a clock, wherein the first user interface preview image is part of a library of user interfaces for display on the second electronic device;
- a first affordance for setting the first user interface as a currently selected user interface at the second electronic device;
- and
- a second affordance for removing the first user interface from the second electronic device, wherein the first affordance and the second affordance are concurrently displayed;
- while displaying the first user interface screen, detecting a set of one or more inputs;
- and
- in response to detecting the set of one or more inputs:
- in accordance with a determination that the set of one or more inputs includes an input is directed to the first affordance, sending instructions to the second electronic device to set the first user interface as a currently selected interface on the second electronic device.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of a first electronic device with a display, the one or more processors, and memory, wherein the first electronic device is coupled via wireless communication to a second electronic device with a display, one or more processors, and a memory, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- displaying on the display of the first electronic device a first user interface screen comprising:
- a first user interface preview image, the first user interface preview image representing a first user interface for display on the second electronic device, wherein the first user interface is configured according to a first watch face type and comprises a clock, wherein the first user interface preview image is part of a library of user interfaces for display on the second electronic device;
- a first affordance for setting the first user interface as a currently selected user interface at the second electronic device;
- and
- a second affordance for removing the first user interface from the second electronic device, wherein the first affordance and the second affordance are concurrently displayed;
- while displaying the first user interface screen, detecting a set of one or more inputs;
- and
- in response to detecting the set of one or more inputs:
- in accordance with a determination that the set of one or more inputs includes an input is directed to the first affordance, sending instructions to the second electronic device to set the first user interface as a currently selected interface on the second electronic device.
A method, comprising:
- at a first electronic device with a display, one or more processors, and memory, wherein the first electronic device is coupled via wireless communication to a second electronic device with a display, one or more processors, and memory:
- displaying on the display of the first electronic device a first user interface screen comprising:
- a first user interface preview image, the first user interface preview image representing a first user interface for display on the second electronic device, wherein the first user interface is configured according to a first watch face type and comprises a clock, wherein the first user interface preview image is part of a library of user interfaces for display on the second electronic device;
- a first affordance for setting the first user interface as a currently selected user interface at the second electronic device;
- and
- a second affordance for removing the first user interface from the second electronic device, wherein the first affordance and the second affordance are concurrently displayed;
- while displaying the first user interface screen, detecting a set of one or more inputs;
- and
- in response to detecting the set of one or more inputs:
- in accordance with a determination that the set of one or more inputs includes an input is directed to the first affordance, sending instructions to the second electronic device to set the first user interface as a currently selected interface on the second electronic device.
