Abstract

Techniques for a displaying user interfaces screens of a calendar application include displaying different screens based on an input modality. The calendar application may respond differently to inputs from a touch-sensitive screen, inputs from a rotatable input mechanism, inputs having higher intensities, inputs having lower intensities, and so forth.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An electronic device, comprising:
a touch-sensitive display;
one or more processors;
a memory; and
one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
displaying a row of numerals, the numerals indicating days in a month;
detecting user input; and
in response to detecting the user input, translating all but one of the displayed numerals from its respective position in the row into a new position, wherein the displayed numerals, in their new positions, form a column of numerals.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the numerals displayed in the new position represent days in one week of the month.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein a numeral of the numerals is associated with a day of a week, the one or more programs further including instructions for:
after the translating, labeling the numeral with text identifying a day of the week.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
translating the one remaining numeral from its position in the row of numerals to a position in the column of numerals.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the user input is a movement of a rotatable input mechanism of the electronic device.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the translating comprises translating at least one displayed numeral visibly on the touch-sensitive display.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the row of numerals is a first row of numerals, the one or more programs further including instructions for:
displaying a second row of numerals representing additional days in the month; and
in response to detecting the user input:
translating the second row of numerals towards one or more edges of the touch-sensitive display; and
ceasing display of the second row of numerals.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
in response to detecting the user input, displaying, via the touch-sensitive display, the displayed numerals, that are translated, in their new positions in the column of numerals.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display, cause the electronic device to:
display a row of numerals, the numerals indicating days in a month;
detect user input; and
in response to detecting the user input, translate all but one of the displayed numerals from its respective position in the row into a new position, wherein the displayed numerals, in their new positions, form a column of numerals.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the numerals displayed in the new position represent days in one week of the month.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein a numeral of the numerals is associated with a day of a week, the one or more programs further including instructions for:
after the translating, labeling the numeral with text identifying a day of the week.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
translating the one remaining numeral from its position in the row of numerals to a position in the column of numerals.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the user input is a movement of a rotatable input mechanism of the electronic device.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the translating comprises translating at least one displayed numeral visibly on the touch-sensitive display.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the row of numerals is a first row of numerals, the one or more programs further including instructions for:
displaying a second row of numerals representing additional days in the month; and
in response to detecting the user input:
translating the second row of numerals towards one or more edges of the touch-sensitive display; and
ceasing display of the second row of numerals.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 9 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
in response to detecting the user input, displaying, via the touch-sensitive display, the displayed numerals, that are translated, in their new positions in the column of numerals.

17. A method, comprising:
at an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display:
displaying a row of numerals, the numerals indicating days in a month;
detecting user input; and
in response to detecting the user input, translating all but one of the displayed numerals from its respective position in the row into a new position, wherein the displayed numerals, in their new positions, form a column of numerals.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the numerals displayed in the new position represent days in one week of the month.

19. The method of claim 17 , wherein a numeral of the numerals is associated with a day of a week, the method further comprising:
after the translating, labeling the numeral with text identifying a day of the week.

20. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:
translating the one remaining numeral from its position in the row of numerals to a position in the column of numerals.

21. The method of claim 17 , wherein the user input is a movement of a rotatable input mechanism of the electronic device.

22. The method of claim 17 , wherein the translating comprises translating at least one displayed numeral visibly on the touch-sensitive display.

23. The method of claim 17 , wherein the row of numerals is a first row of numerals, the method further comprising:
displaying a second row of numerals representing additional days in the month; and
in response to detecting the user input:
translating the second row of numerals towards one or more edges of the touch-sensitive display; and
ceasing display of the second row of numerals.

24. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:
in response to detecting the user input, displaying, via the touch-sensitive display, the displayed numerals, that are translated, in their new positions in the column of numerals.
