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

The invention 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:
while the electronic device is in a locked mode in which access to a respective set of features of the electronic device is locked:
displaying a first user interface on the display; and
detecting a first input;

in response to detecting the first input, displaying a user interface for an application on the display, wherein the application is in a limited-access mode in which access to a respective feature from the application is restricted in accordance with restriction criteria; and
while the application is in the limited-access mode receiving a request to access the respective feature; and
after receiving the request to access the respective feature:
concurrently displaying an indication of the respective feature and an indication that authentication is required to access the respective feature;
detecting a first set of biometric information using the biometric sensor;
in accordance with a determination that the first set of biometric information is one of one or more enrolled sets of biometric information that are enrolled with the device:
providing access to the respective feature in a full-access mode in which access to the respective feature is not restricted in accordance with the restriction criteria; and
transitioning the electronic device from the locked mode to an unlocked mode in which the respective set of features of the electronic device is unlocked; and

in accordance with a determination that the first set of biometric information is not one of the one or more enrolled sets of biometric information:
maintaining the application in the limited-access mode;
maintaining the electronic device in the locked mode;
disabling detection of biometric information using the biometric sensor; and
displaying a passcode entry interface with an indication that detection of biometric information using the biometric sensor has been disabled, wherein the passcode entry interface was not displayed prior to detecting the first set of biometric information.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein:
the user interface for the application is a notification interface that is associated with a plurality of notifications;
in the limited-access mode, respective information contained in one or more of the notifications is not accessible; and
in the full-access mode, the respective information is accessible.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein:
the respective information that is not accessible in the limited-access mode includes redacted information;
in the limited-access mode, a representation of a respective notification includes a first portion and a second portion where the first portion is unredacted and the second portion is redacted; and
in the full-access mode, the representation of the respective notification includes the first portion and the second portion where the first portion and the second portion are unredacted.

4. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein:
the respective information that is not accessible in the limited-access mode includes information from a predetermined section of the notification interface;
in the limited-access mode, the notification interface omits the predetermined section; and
in the full-access mode, the notification interface includes the predetermined section.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein:
the user interface for the application is a settings-management interface that is associated with a plurality of device settings;
in the limited-access mode, the electronic device prevents at least one respective setting from being changed; and
in the full-access mode, the respective setting is enabled to be changed.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein:
the user interface for the application is a camera playback interface for viewing images taken by a camera of the device;
in the limited-access mode the electronic device prevents one or more previously captured images from being viewed in the camera playback interface; and
in the full-access mode, the one or more previously captured images are enabled to be viewed in the camera playback interface.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the user interface for the application is a user interface selected in accordance with the first input, and the one or more programs further including instructions for, in response to detecting the first input:
in accordance with a determination that the first input starts from a first edge of the device, the user interface for the application is a notification interface; and
in accordance with a determination that the first input starts from a second edge of the electronc device that is different from the first edge of the device, the user interface for the application is a settings-management interface.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein:
the user interface for the application is translucent, and
the user interface for the application is displayed on top of the first user interface,
and the one or more programs further including instructions for:
in accordance with the determination that the first set of biometric information is one of the one or more enrolled sets of biometric information that are enrolled with the device, displaying an animation, below the translucent user interface for the application, of the first user interface for the locked mode of the electronic device transitioning to a user interface for the unlocked mode of the device.

9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the indication of the respective feature and the indication that authentication is required to access the respective feature are displayed without displaying an authentication user interface.

10. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein content from the application associated with the respective feature is displayed in a location occupied by the indication of the respective feature and the indication that authentication is required to access the respective feature.

11. The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
after receiving the request to access the respective feature:
receiving, via the passcode entry interface, a passcode;
in accordance with a determination that the passcode matches a previously established passcode:
providing access to the respective feature in a full-access mode in which access to the respective feature is not restricted in accordance with the restriction criteria; and
transitioning the electronic device from the locked mode to an unlocked mode in which the respective set of features of the electronic device is unlocked.

12. 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:
while the electronic device is in a locked mode in which access to a respective set of features of the electronic device is locked:
displaying a first user interface on the display; and
detecting a first input;

in response to detecting the first input, displaying a user interface for an application on the display, wherein the application is in a limited-access mode in which access to a respective feature from the application is restricted in accordance with restriction criteria; and
while the application is in the limited-access mode receiving
