Abstract
A device receives a request to display a clock face with a first background segment and a second background segment that has a different appearance from the first background segment. In response to receiving the request, the device displays the clock face.
Claims15
An electronic device, comprising:
- a display device;
- 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:
- receiving a request to display a clock face with a first background segment and a second background segment that has a different appearance from the first background segment;
- and
- in response to receiving the request to display the clock face:
- in accordance with a determination that a current time is a first time, displaying, via the display device, the clock face, the clock face at the first time including:
- the first background segment having a first edge at a first position and a second edge at a second position, wherein:
- the first edge at the first position indicates a first unit of time of the first time,
- the second edge at the second position indicates a second unit of time of the first time, and
- at the first time, the first background segment has a first size;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that a current time is a second time different from the first time, displaying, via the display device, the clock face, the clock face at the second time including:
- the first background segment having the first edge at a third position and the second edge at a fourth position, wherein:
- the first edge at the third position indicates a first unit of time of the second time,
- the second edge at the fourth position indicates a second unit of time of the second time, and
- at the second time, the first background segment has a second size that is different from the first size.

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 display device, the one or more programs including instructions for:
- receiving a request to display a clock face with a first background segment and a second background segment that has a different appearance from the first background segment;
- and
- in response to receiving the request to display the clock face:
- in accordance with a determination that a current time is a first time, displaying, via the display device, the clock face, the clock face at the first time including:
- the first background segment having a first edge at a first position and a second edge at a second position, wherein:
- the first edge at the first position indicates a first unit of time of the first time,
- the second edge at the second position indicates a second unit of time of the first time, and
- at the first time, the first background segment has a first size;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that a current time is a second time different from the first time, displaying, via the display device, the clock face, the clock face at the second time including:
- the first background segment having the first edge at a third position and the second edge at a fourth position, wherein:
- the first edge at the third position indicates a first unit of time of the second time,
- the second edge at the fourth position indicates a second unit of time of the second time, and
- at the second time, the first background segment has a second size that is different from the first size.

A method comprising:
- at an electronic device with a display device:
- receiving a request to display a clock face with a first background segment and a second background segment that has a different appearance from the first background segment;
- and
- in response to receiving the request to display the clock face:
- in accordance with a determination that a current time is a first time, displaying, via the display device, the clock face, the clock face at the first time including:
- the first background segment having a first edge at a first position and a second edge at a second position, wherein:
- the first edge at the first position indicates a first unit of time of the first time,
- the second edge at the second position indicates a second unit of time of the first time, and
- at the first time, the first background segment has a first size;
- and
- in accordance with a determination that a current time is a second time different from the first time, displaying, via the display device, the clock face, the clock face at the second time including:
- the first background segment having the first edge at a third position and the second edge at a fourth position, wherein:
- the first edge at the third position indicates a first unit of time of the second time,
- the second edge at the fourth position indicates a second unit of time of the second time, and
- at the second time, the first background segment has a second size that is different from the first size.
