Abstract

An electronic device includes a touch-sensitive display, a rotatable input mechanism, one or more processors, and memory. The electronic device displays content on the display, where the content includes a first edge and a second edge opposite the first edge. The electronic device further detects a first user input, and in response to detecting the first user input, displays an enlarged view of the content that does not include the first edge. The electronic device further detects a rotation of the rotatable input mechanism in a first rotation direction, and in response to detecting the rotation, translates the enlarged view of the content in a first translation direction on the display to display the first edge of the content.

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 and a rotatable input mechanism, cause the electronic device to:
display content on the display, wherein the content includes a first edge and a second edge opposite the first edge;
detect a first user input;
in response to detecting the first user input, display an enlarged view of the content, wherein displaying the enlarged view of the content includes displaying a portion of the content without displaying the first edge of the content on the display;
detect a rotation of the rotatable input mechanism in a first rotation direction;
in response to detecting the rotation, translate the enlarged view of the content in a first translation direction on the display to display the first edge of the enlarged view of the content;
detect further rotation of the rotatable input mechanism in the first rotation direction; and
in response to detecting the further rotation, translate the enlarged view in a second translation direction on the display to display the second edge of the enlarged view of the content, wherein the second translation direction is different than the first translation direction.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the first user input includes a two-finger double tap on the touch-sensitive display.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the enlarged view of the content is centered on a location associated with the first user input.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the first translation direction is horizontal and the second translation direction is diagonal.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , 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:
further in response to detecting the further rotation, and before translating the enlarged view in the second direction, pause translation of the enlarged view.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , 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:
determine whether the translation has reached the first edge of the content or the second edge of the content;
in accordance with a determination that the translation has reached the first edge of the content or the second edge of the content, pause translation of the enlarged view in response to further rotation of the rotatable input mechanism in the first rotation direction; and
in accordance with a determination that the translation has not reached the first edge of the content or the second edge of the content, continue translation of the enlarged view in the same translation direction in response to further rotation of the rotatable input mechanism in the first rotation direction.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the enlarged view is translated from a first portion of the content to a second portion of the content, and wherein the second portion of the content is displaced vertically from the first portion.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein rotation of the rotatable input mechanism in the first rotation direction causes the enlarged view to be translated horizontally from left to right or diagonally downward and to the left, and
wherein rotation of the rotatable input mechanism in a second rotation direction, opposite the first rotation direction, causes the enlarged view to be translated horizontally from right to left or diagonally upward and to the right.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein translating the enlarged view includes:
determining whether the translation has reached a first corner of the content defined by the first edge and a third edge perpendicular to the first edge;
in accordance with a determination that the translation has reached the first corner, translating the enlarged view toward a second corner of the content defined by the second edge and a fourth edge perpendicular to the second edge, wherein the second corner is diagonally opposite from the first corner; and
in accordance with a determination that the translation has not reached the first corner of the content, continuing to translate the enlarged view in the same direction.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein translating the enlarged view includes:
determining whether the enlarged view is to be translated horizontally or diagonally;
in accordance with a determination that the enlarged view is to be translated horizontally, performing the translation at a first speed; and
in accordance with a determination that the enlarged view is to be translated diagonally, performing the translation at a second speed that is greater than the first speed.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , wherein displaying the enlarged view of the content includes displaying a third portion of the content, and 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:
in response to rotation of the rotatable input mechanism in the first rotation direction, display an indication of the size and location of the third portion of the content relative to the entire content.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the indication includes a first user interface object and a second user interface object, and wherein the first user interface object is overlaid on the enlarged view of the content and the second user interface object is overlaid on the first user interface object.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the size and location of the second user interface object relative to the first user interface object indicates the size and location of the third portion relative to the entire content.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 11 , wherein the rotatable input mechanism is located adjacent to a portion of the touch-sensitive display and the indication is displayed adjacent to the rotatable input mechanism.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , 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:
detect a third user input; and
in response to detecting the third user input, display the content as it was displayed immediately prior to detecting the first user input.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 1 , 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:
detect a fourth user input; and
in response to detecting the fourth user input, change the electronic device from a first operational state to a second operational state, wherein:
in the first operational state, rotation of the rotatable input mechanism performs a first operation, and
in the secon
