Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces for recording and playing audio and video. In one example, a first application requests a second application to initiate recording one or more data streams of the first application. The second application displays a confirmation affordance. In response to detecting activation of the confirmation affordance, the second application initiates a recording of at least one of the data stream of the first application.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising one or more programs for execution by one or more processors of an electronic device with a display, the one or more programs including instructions for:
displaying, on the display, a user interface for a first application;
detecting a record request from the first application to a second application, wherein the record request corresponds to a request for the second application to record one or more data streams that include at least one data stream generated by the first application, wherein the record request is initiated by the first application;
in response to detecting the record request from the first application, displaying, on the display, a user interface for the second application, the user interface for the second application including a confirmation affordance;
detecting activation of the confirmation affordance;
in response to detecting activation of the confirmation affordance, initiating a recording by the second application of at least one data stream of the one or more data streams generated by the first application;
detecting a stop request requesting stoppage of recording of the at least one data stream of the one or more data streams, wherein the stop request is initiated by the first application; and
in response to detecting the stop request, stopping recording of the at least one data stream of the one or more data streams,
wherein the second application has privileges to record data streams that the first application is prohibited from recording.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the first application initiates the record request in response to a user input.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the record request specifies a request for recording audio data and video data of the first application.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the record request specifies a request for recording event information of the first application, further including instructions for:
receiving a playback request; and
in response to receiving the playback request, reproducing the audio and video of the first application based on the event information of the first application.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the electronic device includes a microphone, and wherein the record request specifies a request for recording audio data and video data of the first application and audio data received at the microphone of the device.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the electronic device includes a microphone and a camera sensor, and wherein the record request specifies a request for recording audio data and video data of the first application, audio received at the microphone of the device, and video received at the camera sensor of the device.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 , further including instructions for:
while recording, displaying, on the display, a picture-in-picture video of the video received at the camera sensor of the device.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein initiating the recording of the at least one data stream of the one or more data streams includes storing each data stream of the at least one data stream separately in memory.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein initiating the recording of the at least one data stream of the one or more data streams includes storing, to memory, synchronization data to synchronize playback of the at least one data stream.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the user interface for the second application further includes a visual indicator indicating the at least one data stream of the one or more data streams requested to be recorded.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , further including instructions for:
storing the recording of the at least one data stream of the one or more data streams into a memory of the device, wherein the first application does not have access to the stored recording of the at least one data stream of the one or more data streams.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the first application is a game, and further including instructions for:
in response to initiating the recording of the at least one data stream of the one or more data streams, receiving by the first application a confirmation that recording has started; and
in response to receiving the confirmation that recording has started, initiating a game play of the first application.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the user interface for the first application includes one or more visual objects that are not recorded as part of the at least one data stream of the one or more data streams, and wherein the at least one data stream of the one or more data streams includes a video stream of the first application.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , further including instructions for:
in response to detecting the stop request, displaying, on the display, a second user interface of the second application, wherein the second user interface of the second application provides an option for sharing the recorded at least one data stream of the one or more data streams.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , further including instructions for:
in response to detecting the stop request, displaying, on the display, a second user interface of the second application, wherein the second user interface of the second application provides one or more options to edit or playback the recorded at least one data stream of the one or more data streams.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the one or more data streams include a remote data stream received from a second electronic device different from the first electronic device.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , further including instructions for:
storing a temporal marker; and
wherein the temporal marker is associated with a time of at least one of the one or more data streams and wherein the temporal marker is based on information received from the first application.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 17 , further including instructions for:
generating a highlight data stream based on the temporal marker and based on a portion of the at least one data stream of the one or more data streams.

19. A method, comprising:
at an electronic device including a display:
displaying, on the display, a user interface for a first application;
detecting a record request from the first application to a second application, wherein the record request corresponds to a request for the second application to record one or more data streams that include at least one data stream generated by the first application, wherein the record request is initiated by the first application;
in response to detecting the record request from the first application, displaying, on the display, a user interface for the second application, the user interface for the second application including a confirmation affordance;
detecting activation of the confirmation affordance;
in respon
