Abstract

A method includes, at an electronic device: receiving data representing a sequence of images stored on an external device; displaying, on a touch-sensitive display, a representation of the sequence of images; determining whether a contact detected on the touch-sensitive display at the representation of the sequence of images has a characteristic intensity above a threshold intensity; in response to a determination that the characteristic intensity is above the threshold intensity, displaying a user interface menu including a user interface object representing an option to display a background of a user interface based on the sequence of images; detecting a selection of the user interface object; detecting a motion indicative of a wrist raise gesture; and in response to detecting the motion indicative of a wrist raise gesture, displaying the background of the user interface on the display of the electronic device based on the sequence of images.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. 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 an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display, a rotatable input mechanism, and a motion sensor configured to sense motion indicative of a wrist raise gesture, cause the electronic device to:
receive, via wireless communication, data representing a sequence of images stored on an external device;
display, on the touch-sensitive display, a representation of the sequence of images;
detect a contact on the touch-sensitive display at a location of the representation of the sequence of images;
determine whether the contact has a characteristic intensity above a threshold intensity;
in response to a determination that the characteristic intensity is above the threshold intensity, display a user interface menu including a user interface object,
wherein the user interface object represents an option to display a background of a user interface on the display of the electronic device based on the sequence of images;

detect a selection of the user interface object;
detect, with the motion sensor, a motion indicative of a wrist raise gesture; and
in response to detecting the motion indicative of a wrist raise gesture, display the background of the user interface on the display of the electronic device based on the sequence of images, wherein displaying the background based on the sequence of images includes:
display, in sequence, a first set of two or more images from the sequence of images; and
after displaying, in sequence, the first set of two or more images from the sequence of images, maintain display of an image from the sequence of images.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 ,
wherein the sequence of images includes a first image, a last image, and a representative image, and
wherein displaying the background based on the sequence of images includes:
displaying, in sequence, the first set of one or more images from the sequence of images that are positioned before the representative image and the representative image.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 2 , wherein the one or more programs further comprises instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors of the electronic device, cause the electronic device to:
after displaying the first set of images, detect a user input; and
in response to detecting the user input, display, in sequence, a second set of one or more images from the sequence of images that are positioned after the representative image including the last image.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 2 , wherein the one or more programs further comprises instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors of the electronic device, cause the electronic device to:
after displaying the first set of images, detect a user input including a first portion and a second portion after the first portion;
in response to the first portion of the user input, display, in sequence, a second set of one or more images from the sequence of images that are positioned after the representative image; and
in response to the second portion of the user input, display, in sequence, a third set of one or more images from the sequence of images that are positioned after the representative image and display the last image,
wherein the one or more images of the second set of images are positioned before the one or more images of the third set of images.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 2 , wherein the one or more programs further comprises instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors of the electronic device, cause the electronic device to:
after displaying the first set of images, detect a rotation of the rotatable input mechanism;
in response to the rotation of the rotatable input mechanism, replace the display of the representative image with a second image from the sequence of images;
detect a second user input representing a selection of the second image as the representative image;
after detecting the second user input representing a selection of the second image as the representative image, detect, with the motion sensor, a second motion indicative of a wrist raise gesture; and
in response to detecting the second motion indicative of a wrist raise gesture, display the background of the user interface on the display of the electronic device based on the sequence of images with the second image as the representative image.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 ,
wherein the sequence of images includes a first image, a last image, and a representative image, and
wherein displaying the background based on the sequence of images includes:
displaying, in sequence, the representative image and the first set of one or more images from the sequence of images that are positioned after the representative image including the last image.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 , wherein the one or more programs further comprises instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors of the electronic device, cause the electronic device to:
after displaying the first set of images, detect a user input; and
in response to detecting the user input, display, in sequence, a second set of one or more images from the sequence of images that are positioned before the representative image and the representative image.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 , wherein the one or more programs further comprises instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors of the electronic device, cause the electronic device to:
after displaying the first set of images, detect a user input including a first portion and a second portion after the first portion;
in response to the first portion of the user input, display, in sequence, a second set of one or more images from the sequence of images that are positioned before the representative image; and
in response to the second portion of the user input, display, in sequence, a third set of one or more images from the sequence of images that are positioned before or include the representative image,
wherein the one or more images of the second set are positioned before the one or more images of the third set, the second set includes the first image, and the third set includes the representative image.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 , wherein the one or more programs further comprises instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors of the electronic device, cause the electronic device to:
after displaying the first set of images, detect a rotation of the rotatable input mechanism;
in response to the rotation of the rotatable input mechanism, replace the display of the last image with a second image from the sequence of images;
detect a second user input representing a selection of the second image as the representative image;
after detecting the second user input representing a selection of the second image as the representative image, detect, with the motion sensor, a second motion indicative of a wrist raise gesture; and
in response to detecting the second motion indicative of a wrist raise gesture, display the background of the user interface on the display of the electronic device based on the sequence of images with the second image as the representative image.
