Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces for displaying representations of media (an image, video).

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer system, comprising:
one or more processors, wherein the computer system is configured to communicate with a display generation component and one or more input devices; 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 generation component, a media viewer user interface that includes:
a first portion that includes a representation of a first previously captured media item; and
a second portion that has a first visual appearance and that is different from the first portion of the media viewer user interface;

while displaying, via the display generation component, the media viewer user interface that includes the second portion of the media viewer user interface that has the first visual appearance, receiving a request to display a representation of a second previously captured media item that is different from the first previously captured media item; and
in response to receiving the request to display the representation of the second previously captured media item:
in accordance with a determination that a first set of criteria is met, wherein the first set of criteria includes a criterion that is met when the representation of the second previously captured media item is a high-dynamic-range (HDR) media item:
displaying the representation of the second previously captured media item; and
updating the second portion of the media viewer user interface to have a second visual appearance that is different from the first visual appearance.

2. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein updating the second portion of the media viewer user interface to have the second visual appearance that is different from the first visual appearance includes:
in accordance with a determination that a portion of the media item has a first level of brightness, displaying the second portion of the media viewer user interface with a first amount of a visual characteristic; and
in accordance with a determination that the portion of the media item has a second level of brightness that is different from the first level of brightness, displaying the second portion of the media viewer user interface with a second amount of the visual characteristic that is different from the first amount of the visual characteristic.

3. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein updating the second portion of the media viewer user interface to have the second visual appearance that is different from the first visual appearance includes:
in accordance with a determination that the media item has been displayed for a first amount of time, displaying the second portion of the media viewer user interface with a third amount of a visual characteristic; and
in accordance with a determination that the media item has been displayed for a second amount of time that is different from the first amount of time, displaying the second portion of the media viewer user interface with a fourth amount of the visual characteristic that is different from the third amount of the visual characteristic.

4. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein:
displaying the representation of the second previously captured media item includes replacing the representation of the first previously captured media item with the representation of the second previously captured media item; and
updating the second portion of the media viewer user interface to have the second visual appearance that is different from the first visual appearance includes:
in accordance with a determination that the representation of the first previously captured media item was displayed for at least a first amount of time before being replaced with the representation of the second previously captured media item, displaying the second portion of the media viewer user interface with a fifth amount of a visual characteristic; and
in accordance with a determination that the representation of the first previously captured media item has been replaced with the representation of the second previously captured media item in a second amount of time that is different from the first amount of time, displaying the second portion of the media viewer user interface with a sixth amount of the visual characteristic that is different from the fifth amount of the visual characteristic.

5. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein updating the second portion of the media viewer user interface to have the second visual appearance that is different from the first visual appearance includes:
in accordance with a determination that an average rate of requests to display previously captured media items is below a first threshold, displaying the second portion of the media viewer user interface with a seventh amount of a visual characteristic; and
in accordance with a determination that the average rate of requests to display previously captured media items is not below the first threshold, displaying the second portion of the media viewer user interface with an eighth amount of the visual characteristic that is different from the seventh amount of the visual characteristic.

6. The computer system of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
while displaying, via the display generation component, the media viewer user interface that includes the second portion of the media viewer user interface that has the first visual appearance, receiving a request to display a representation of a third previously captured media item that is different from the first previously captured media item and the second previously captured media item; and
in response receiving the request to display the representation of the third previously captured media item and in accordance with a determination that the first set of criteria is met, wherein the first set of criteria includes a criterion that is met when the representation of the third previously captured media item is an HDR media item:
displaying the representation of the third previously captured media item; and
updating the second portion of the media viewer user interface to have a third visual appearance that is different from the first visual appearance and the second visual appearance.

7. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the second previously captured media item is an HDR media item, and wherein the representation of the second previously captured media item is displayed with HDR.

8. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the first set of criteria includes a criterion that is met when the second portion is a first color.

9. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein updating the second portion of the media viewer user interface to have the second visual appearance includes displaying an animation that gradually transitions the second portion of the media viewer user interface from having the first visual appearance to the second visual appearance.

10. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the representation of the second previously captured media item includes content with an amount of brightness, and wherein the representation of the second previously captured media item is displayed with:
in accordance with a determination that the amount of brightness exceeds a brightness threshold, a modified amount of brightness; and
in accordance with a determination that the amount of brightness does not exceed the brightness threshold, the amount of brightness.

11. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein:
the first previously captured media item is not an HDR media item;
the second previously captured media item is an HDR media item; and
the one or more programs further
