Abstract

In response to detecting that an external device is within communication range of an electronic device and in accordance with a determination that the external device is in a pairing mode, the electronic device displays an affordance corresponding to a pairing application of the electronic device. In response to detecting that an external device is within communication range of an electronic device and in accordance with a determination that the external device is not in the pairing mode, the electronic device forgoes display of the affordance. In response to user input corresponding to selection of the affordance, the electronic device displays a user interface associated with initiating a process to pair the electronic device and the external device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic 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:
after pairing the electronic device and an external device, displaying, via the display device, a first user interface, wherein the first user interface includes one or more first user interface objects corresponding to one or more first settings of the external device, wherein the external device displays a second user interface, different from the first user interface, while the electronic device displays the first user interface;
while displaying the first user interface, detecting first user input; and
after detecting the first user input, displaying, via the display device, a third user interface, wherein the third user interface includes one or more second user interface objects corresponding to one or more second settings of the external device.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more first settings of the external device include an orientation in which the external device is configured to be worn.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more first settings of the external device include one or more statuses corresponding to respective services available to the external device.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more first settings of the external device include a watch face configured to be displayed via the external device.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
while displaying the third user interface, detecting second user input; and
after detecting the second user input, displaying, via the display device, a notification user interface.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
while displaying the first user interface, detecting third user input corresponding to a respective user interface object of the one or more first user interface objects; and
in response to detecting the third user input, adjusting a respective setting of the one or more first settings from a first state to a second state.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
while displaying the third user interface, detecting fourth user input corresponding to a respective user interface object of the one or more second user interface objects; and
in response to detecting the fourth user input, adjusting a respective setting of the one or more second settings from a third state to a fourth state.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
prior to displaying the first user interface, pairing the electronic device and the external device via a Bluetooth connection between the electronic device and the external device.

9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first user interface corresponds to a pairing application of the electronic device, and wherein the pairing application is part of an operating system of the electronic device.

10. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the first user interface corresponds to a pairing application of the electronic device, wherein the pairing application is an application program installed on the electronic device, and wherein the application program is separate from an operating system of the electronic device.

11. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the electronic device displays the first user interface during a configuration sequence of the external device, and wherein the electronic device displays the second user interface during the configuration sequence of the external device.

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 device, the one or more programs including instructions for:
after pairing the electronic device and an external device, displaying, via the display device, a first user interface, wherein the first user interface includes one or more first user interface objects corresponding to one or more first settings of the external device, wherein the external device displays a second user interface, different from the first user interface, while the electronic device displays the first user interface;
while displaying the first user interface, detecting first user input; and
after detecting the first user input, displaying, via the display device, a third user interface, wherein the third user interface includes one or more second user interface objects corresponding to one or more second settings of the external device.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the one or more first settings of the external device include an orientation in which the external device is configured to be worn.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the one or more first settings of the external device include one or more statuses corresponding to respective services available to the external device.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the one or more first settings of the external device include a watch face configured to be displayed via the external device.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
while displaying the third user interface, detecting second user input; and
after detecting the second user input, displaying, via the display device, a notification user interface.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
while displaying the first user interface, detecting third user input corresponding to a respective user interface object of the one or more first user interface objects; and
in response to detecting the third user input, adjusting a respective setting of the one or more first settings from a first state to a second state.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
while displaying the third user interface, detecting fourth user input corresponding to a respective user interface object of the one or more second user interface objects; and
in response to detecting the fourth user input, adjusting a respective setting of the one or more second settings from a third state to a fourth state.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
prior to displaying the first user interface, pairing the electronic device and the external device via a Bluetooth connection between the electronic device and the external device.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the first user interface corresponds to a pairing application of the electronic device, and wherein the pairing application is part of an operating system of the electronic device.

21. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12 , wherein the first user interface corresponds to a pairing application of the electronic device, wherein the pairing application
