Abstract

The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces for managing input mechanisms. In some examples, the electronic device transitions from a first mode into a second mode in accordance with a determination that the one or more characteristics of a user input detected via a second input mechanism of the electronic device meet a set of predefined criteria. In the first mode, a first input mechanism of the electronic device is restricted for user input. In the second mode, the first input mechanism of the electronic device is unrestricted for user input.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device, comprising:
a first input mechanism;
a second input mechanism;
one or more processors;
a 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 displaying a workout application interface, detecting a swipe gesture in a first direction;
in response to detecting the swipe gesture, displaying one or more affordances, wherein the one or more affordances include a water lock affordance; and
in response to detecting an input via the first input mechanism corresponding the water lock affordance, wherein the first input mechanism comprises a touch-sensitive display:
transitioning the electronic device into a first mode, wherein user input selecting one or more displayed affordances using the first input mechanism is restricted in the first mode.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more affordances further include at least one of an end workout affordance and a pause workout affordance.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
in response to detecting the input via the first input mechanism corresponding the water lock affordance:
ceasing to display the one or more affordances; and
displaying the workout application interface.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the electronic device includes a speaker, and wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
while the electronic device is in the first mode, detecting an input via the second input mechanism;
determining whether one or more characteristics of the input detected via the second input mechanism meet a set of predefined criteria;
in accordance with a determination that the one or more characteristics of the input detected via the second input mechanism meet the set of predefined criteria:
transitioning the electronic device into a second mode, wherein user input selecting one or more displayed affordances using the first input mechanism is enabled in the second mode; and
emitting a sound via the speaker, wherein the emitted sound is configured to expel liquid from the speaker; and

in accordance with a determination that the one or more characteristics of the input detected via the second input mechanism do not meet the set of predefined criteria:
remaining in the first mode and foregoing transitioning the electronic device into the second mode; and
foregoing emitting a sound via the speaker.

5. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the one or more characteristics of the input detected via the second input mechanism includes a speed of a rotation, a duration of the rotation, a direction of the rotation, a magnitude of the rotation, or a combination thereof.

6. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
while the electronic device is in the second mode:
detecting, via the first input mechanism, an input; and
in response to detecting the input via the first input mechanism, providing an output indicating that the input has been detected.

7. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
in accordance with a determination that the one or more characteristics of the input detected via the second input mechanism meet the set of predefined criteria, providing an output indicative of a successful transition from the first mode to the second mode; and
in accordance with the determination that the one or more characteristics of the input detected via the second input mechanism does not meet the set of predefined criteria, providing an output indicative of a failed transition from the first mode to the second mode.

8. The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein the output indicative of a successful transition from the first mode to the second mode comprises an animation of one or more bursting water droplets.

9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the second input mechanism is a rotatable input mechanism.

10. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
while the electronic device is in the first mode:
detecting, via the first input mechanism, an input; and
after detecting the input via the first input mechanism, foregoing providing an output indicating that the input has been detected.

11. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the workout application interface includes information corresponding to an ongoing workout session.

12. The electronic device of claim 11 , wherein information corresponding to an ongoing workout session includes at least one of a progress indicator, a time value, and a calorie value.

13. 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 first input mechanism, and a second input mechanism, the one or more programs including instructions for:
while displaying a workout application interface, detecting a swipe gesture in a first direction;
in response to detecting the swipe gesture, displaying one or more affordances, wherein the one or more affordances include a water lock affordance; and
in response to detecting an input via the first input mechanism corresponding the water lock affordance, wherein the first input mechanism comprises a touch-sensitive display:
transitioning the electronic device into a first mode, wherein user input selecting one or more displayed affordances using the first input mechanism is restricted in the first mode.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the one or more affordances further include at least one of an end workout affordance and a pause workout affordance.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
in response to detecting the input via the first input mechanism corresponding the water lock affordance:
ceasing to display the one or more affordances; and
displaying the workout application interface.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the electronic device includes a speaker, and wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
while the electronic device is in the first mode, detecting an input via the second input mechanism;
determining whether one or more characteristics of the input detected via the second input mechanism meet a set of predefined criteria;
in accordance with a determination that the one or more characteristics of the input detected via the second input mechanism meet the set of predefined criteria:
transitioning the electronic device into a second mode, wherein user input selecting one or more displayed affordances using the first input mechanism is enabled in the second mode; and
emitting a sound via the speaker, wherein the emitted sound is configured to expel liquid from the speaker; and

in accordance with a determination that the one or more characteristics of the input detected via the second input mechanism do not meet the set of predefined criteria:
remaining in the first mode and foregoing transitioning the electronic device into the second mode; and
foregoing emitting a sound via the speaker.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the one or more characteristics of the input detected via the second input
