Abstract

An electronic device changes the current user interface of a respective type of user interface from a first user interface to a second user interface. An individual uses their personal device to set up and configure a device for another user.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A first 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:
displaying, via the display device, a setup user interface of a setup process for setting up a second device;
while displaying, via the display device, the setup user interface, detecting a first user input selecting a respective account to be associated with the second device and while the first device is associated with a first account; and
after the respective account has been selected to be associated with the second device and during the setup process, displaying, via the display device, a setup user interface for configuring a respective function of the second device, including:
in accordance with a determination that the first account was selected to be associated with the second device, displaying, via the display device, one or more selectable options associated with configuring the respective function of the second device without explicitly identifying a user account associated with the second device; and
in accordance with a determination that a second account, different from the first account, was selected to be associated with the second device, displaying, via the display device, the one or more selectable options associated with configuring the respective function of the second device concurrently with an identifier that explicitly identifies the second account.

2. The first device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
in accordance with the determination that the first account was selected to be associated with the second device, initiating a process for configuring the second device for the first account, wherein the process for configuring the second device for the first account includes enabling a first set of features on the second device requiring communication between the first device and the second device; and
in accordance with the determination that the second account was selected to be associated with the second device, initiating a process for configuring the second device for the second account, wherein the process for configuring the second device for the second account does not include enabling the first set of features on the second device that require communication between the first device and the second device.

3. The first device of claim 1 , wherein:
displaying the identifier that explicitly identifies the second account includes displaying a name corresponding to the second account, and
the one or more selectable options are one or more selectable options for configuring voice assistant settings on the second device.

4. The first device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for, during the setup process:
in accordance with the determination that the first account was selected to be associated with the second device, displaying, via the display device:
a first prompt instructing for the second device to be worn; and
a second prompt instructing for the second device to be placed within a field of view of a camera sensor of the first device; and

in accordance with the determination that the second account was selected to be associated with the second device, displaying, via the display device, a third prompt instructing for the second device to be placed within a field of view of a camera sensor of the first device without displaying a prompt instructing for the second device to be worn.

5. The first device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for, during the setup process:
in accordance with the determination that the second account was selected to be associated with the second device, displaying, via the display device, one or more details about data to be transmitted to the second device; and
in accordance with the determination that the first account was selected to be associated with the second device, forgoing displaying, via the display device, the one or more details about the data to be transmitted to the second device.

6. The first device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for, during the setup process:
in accordance with the determination that the second account was selected to be associated with the second device, displaying, via the display device, a user interface for transmitting network settings to the second device, wherein the one or more selectable options are displayed as part of the user interface for transmitting network settings, including:
a first network configuration option to transmit network configuration data for a first network that is associated with a current location of the first device.

7. The first device of claim 6 , wherein the user interface for transmitting network settings to the second device further includes a second network configuration option to transmit network configuration data for a plurality of networks, wherein the plurality of networks includes the first network and the second network, the one or more program further including instructions for, during the setup process:
while displaying the user interface for transmitting network settings, detecting a second user input;
in accordance with a determination that the second user input corresponds to activation of the first network configuration option:
transmitting, to the second device, network configuration data for the first network without transmitting network configuration data for the second network; and

in accordance with a determination that the second user input corresponds to activation of the second network configuration option:
transmitting, to the second device, network configuration data for the plurality of networks.

8. The first device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for, during the setup process:
in accordance with the determination that the second account was selected to be associated with the second device, displaying, via the display device, a user interface for transmitting media to the second device, including displaying:
a first representation of a first media, wherein the first media is stored on the first device; and
a second representation of a second media, wherein the second media is associated with an account that is associated with the first device; and

detecting a first set of one or more user inputs;
in accordance with a determination that the first set of one or more user inputs correspond to a request to transmit the first media without transmitting the second media:
transmitting, to the second device, the first media without transmitting the second media.

9. The first device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for, during the setup process:
in accordance with the determination that the second account was selected to be associated with the second device, displaying, via the display device, a user interface for requesting management access of a set of contactable users associated with a user of the second device, including:
an option to transmit a request to provide the first account access to manage the set of contactable users associated with the user of the second device of the second account; and

in accordance with the determination that the first account was selected to be associated with the second device, forgoing displaying, via the display device, the user interface for requesting management access of the set of contactable users associated with the user of the second device.

10. The first device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instr
