Abstract

A computer system detects a first input requesting display of a home screen of the computer system, and in response, in accordance with a determination that a first activity mode is active on the computer system, displays a first home screen associated with the first activity mode, and enables provision of first notifications by the computer system in accordance with settings of the first activity mode; and in accordance with a determination that a second activity mode is active on the computer system, the computer system displays a second home screen associated with the second activity mode, and enables provision of second notifications by the computer system in accordance with settings of the second activity mode. The second home screen is different from the first home screen, and at least some settings of the second activity mode are different from the settings of the first activity mode.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method, comprising:
at a computer system in communication with a display generation component and one or more input devices:
detecting a first input requesting display of a home screen of the computer system; and
in response to detecting the first input:
in accordance with a determination that a first activity mode is active on the computer system, displaying, via the display generation component, a first home screen of a first plurality of home screen pages associated with the first activity mode, wherein the first home screen includes a first plurality of application user interface elements, and selectively suppressing a first set of notifications in accordance with settings of the first activity mode; and
in accordance with a determination that a second activity mode is active on the computer system, displaying, via the display generation component, a second home screen of a second plurality of home screen pages associated with the second activity mode, wherein the second home screen is different from the first home screen and wherein the second home screen includes a second plurality of application user interface elements that are different from the first plurality of application user interface elements, and selectively suppressing a second set of notifications, different from the first set of notifications, in accordance with settings of the second activity mode, wherein at least some settings for notification delivery of the second activity mode are different from the settings of the first activity mode, and wherein the first plurality of home screen pages includes at least one home screen page also included in the second plurality of home screen pages, the first plurality of home screen pages includes at least one home screen page that is not included in the second plurality of home screen pages, and the second plurality of home screen pages includes at least one home screen page that is not included in the first plurality of home screen pages;

while displaying a respective home screen page, detecting a request to navigate through home screen pages; and
in response to detecting the request to navigate through home screen pages:
in accordance with a determination that the first activity mode is active on the computer system, navigating through the first plurality of home screen pages; and
in accordance with a determination that the second activity mode is active on the computer system, navigating through the second plurality of home screen pages.

2. The method of claim 1 , including:
detecting a user input that activates a settings affordance; and
in response to detecting the user input that activates the settings affordance, displaying a settings interface that includes an option for selecting a first respective home screen page to use as the first home screen, and an option for selecting a second respective home screen page, distinct from the first respective home screen page, to use as the second home screen.

3. The method of claim 1 , including:
detecting a user input that activates a settings affordance; and
in response to detecting the user input that activates the settings affordance, displaying a settings interface that includes:
options for configuring one or more settings of a respective activity mode, including an option to select a home screen page to be included in the first plurality of home screen pages.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein at least one home screen page is available for selection for inclusion in the first plurality of home screen pages and inclusion in the second plurality of home screen pages.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein a respective home screen page in the first plurality of home screen pages includes a respective background region, and the settings interface includes an option to configure the respective background region for the respective home screen page.

6. The method of claim 3 , wherein the settings interface includes an option for configuring at least one of a start time and an end time for the respective activity mode.

7. The method of claim 1 , including:
detecting a user input that activates a settings affordance; and
in response to detecting the user input that activates the settings affordance, displaying a settings interface that includes options for configuring one or more settings of a respective activity mode;
wherein the settings interface includes an option for enabling delivery of notifications, in response to requests by other users, with respect to notifications that are otherwise blocked or deferred while the respective activity mode is active.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the settings interface includes an option that configures a brightness with which a wake screen user interface is displayed while the respective activity mode is active.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the settings interface includes an option for forgoing display of notification indicators on application icons while the respective activity mode is active.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the settings interface includes an option for suppressing notifications on a user interface corresponding to a locked state of the computer system.

11. The method of claim 1 , including automatically activating the first activity mode in accordance with predefined criteria.

12. The method of claim 1 , including activating the first activity mode in response to a user input.

13. The method of claim 12 , including detecting the user input while displaying a wake screen.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein selectively suppressing the first set of notifications comprises suppressing the first set of notifications based on a first list of applications and/or a first list of people, and selectively suppressing a second set of notifications comprises suppressing the second set of notifications based on a second list of applications different from the first list of applications and/or a second list of people different from the first list of people.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein selectively suppressing the first set of notifications comprises suppressing the first set of notifications based on applications and/or people selected using a settings user interface for the first activity mode, and selectively suppressing the second set of notifications comprises suppressing the second set of notifications based on applications and/or people selected using a settings user interface for the second activity mode.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
selectively suppressing the first set of notifications comprises:
outputting a third set of notifications based on a first list of applications and/or a first list of people; and
suppressing notifications for applications and/or people that are not included in the first list of applications and/or the first list of people; and

selectively suppressing the second set of notifications comprises:
outputting a fourth set of notifications, different from the third set of notifications, based on a second list of applications and/or a second list of people; and
suppressing notifications for applications and/or people that are not included in the second list of applications and/or the second list of people.

17. The method of claim 1 , including:
in accordance with a determination that a third activity mode is active on the computer system, displaying, via the display generation component, a third home screen associated with the third activity mode, wherein the third home screen is different from the first home screen and the second home screen, and selectively suppr
