Abstract

An electronic device with a display and a fingerprint sensor displays a fingerprint enrollment interface and detects, on the fingerprint sensor, a plurality of finger gestures performed with a finger. The device collects fingerprint information from the plurality of finger gestures performed with the finger. After collecting the fingerprint information, the device determines whether the collected fingerprint information is sufficient to enroll a fingerprint of the finger. When the collected fingerprint information for the finger is sufficient to enroll the fingerprint of the finger, the device enrolls the fingerprint of the finger with the device. When the collected fingerprint information for the finger is not sufficient to enroll the fingerprint of the finger, the device displays a message in the fingerprint enrollment interface prompting a user to perform one or more additional finger gestures on the fingerprint sensor with the finger.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device, comprising:
a display;
a biometric sensor;
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:
before authorized biometric input has been detected, concurrently displaying a plurality of information items, including:
displaying a first version of a first information item on the display wherein the first version of the first information item includes a time of day associated with the first information item and excludes respective content corresponding to the first information item; and
displaying a first version of a second information item on the display wherein the first version of the second information item includes a time of day associated with the second information item and excludes respective content corresponding to the second information item;

while concurrently displaying the plurality of information items including the first version of the first information item and the first version of the second information item, detecting a biometric input using the biometric sensor; and
in response to detecting the biometric input using the biometric sensor:
in accordance with a determination that the biometric input includes a set of biometric information that matches a previously enrolled set of biometric information that is authorized to reveal the respective content corresponding to the plurality of information items, displaying content for the plurality of information items including, concurrently displaying, on the display:
a second version of the first information item that includes the time of day associated with the first information item and the respective content corresponding to the first information item; and
a second version of the second information item that includes the time of day associated with the second information item and the respective content corresponding to the second information item; and

in accordance with a determination that the biometric input does not include a set of biometric information that matches a previously enrolled set of biometric information that is authorized to reveal the respective content corresponding to the plurality of information items, maintaining display of the plurality of information items on the display without displaying the respective content corresponding to the first information item and without displaying the respective content corresponding to the second information item.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first information item includes one or more notifications of communications received by the electronic device.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first information item includes one or more notifications of social networking updates.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first version of the first information item includes a copy of the first information item that has been rendered unreadable.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first version of the first information item includes a predefined redaction object that is displayed in place of the respective content corresponding to the first information item.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first version of the first information item is displayed on a locked-device user interface of the electronic device.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
while displaying the first version of the first information item, displaying a second version of a second information item.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
after displaying the second version of the first information item, continuing to detect the biometric input using the biometric sensor;
while continuing to detect the biometric input using the biometric sensor, maintaining display of the second version of the first information item on the display;
while maintaining display of the second version of the first information item, ceasing to detect the biometric input using the biometric sensor; and
in response to ceasing to detect the biometric input using the biometric sensor:
ceasing to display the second version of the first information item; and
redisplaying the first version of the first information item.

9. The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
prior to detecting the biometric input, displaying a locked-device user interface on the display;
after displaying the second version of the first information item, continuing to detect the biometric input using the biometric sensor;
while continuing to detect the biometric input using the biometric sensor, maintaining display of the second version of the first information item on the display;
while maintaining display of the second version of the first information item, ceasing to detect the biometric input using the biometric sensor; and
in response to ceasing to detect the biometric input using the biometric sensor:
ceasing to display the first information item; and
displaying an unlocked-device user interface on the display.

10. The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
prior to displaying the first version of the first information item, receiving a request to display the first information item, wherein displaying the first version of the first information item on the display occurs in response to receiving the request to display the first information item.

11. The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
prior to displaying the first version of the first information item, detecting a predefined event, wherein displaying the first version of the first information item on the display occurs in response to detecting the predefined event.

12. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the biometric sensor is a fingerprint sensor.

13. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the biometric input is a finger input.

14. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the set of biometric information corresponds to a fingerprint.

15. 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 and a biometric sensor, the one or more programs comprising instructions for:
before authorized biometric input has been detected, concurrently displaying a plurality of information items, including:
displaying a first version of a first information item on the display wherein the first version of the first information item includes a time of day associated with the first information item and excludes respective content corresponding to the first information item; and
displaying a first version of a second information item on the display wherein the first version of the second information item includes a time of day associated with the second information item and excludes respective content corresponding to the second information item;

while concurrently displaying the plurality of information items including the first version of the first information item and the first version of the second information item, detecting a biometric input using the biometric sensor; and
in response to detecting the biometric input using the biometric sensor:
in accordance with a determination that the biometric input includes a set of biometric information that matches a previously e
