Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In some embodiments, an electronic device presents representations of events arranged in a bracket. In some embodiments, in response to receiving an input corresponding to a request to update a view level of the bracket, the electronic device updates the presentation of information included in representations of events included in the bracket.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A method, comprising: at an electronic device in communication with a display generation component and one or more input devices: while displaying, using the display generation component, a plurality of representations of events arranged in a bracket, including a first representation including information about a first event displayed with a first presentation and a second representation including information about a second event displayed with the first presentation: receiving, using the one or more input devices, an input corresponding to a request to change a zoom level of the plurality of representations of events; and in response to receiving the input: in accordance with a determination that the input corresponds to a request to change the zoom level a first amount, displaying, using the display generation component, the plurality of representations of events at a first zoom level including displaying information about the first event with a second presentation different from the first presentation, wherein the first presentation differs from the second presentation in at least one way other than a difference in size, and displaying information about the second event with the second presentation; and in accordance with a determination that the input corresponds to a request to change the zoom level a second amount, different from the first amount, displaying, using the display generation component, the plurality of representations of events at a second zoom level including displaying information about the first event with a third presentation different from the first presentation, wherein the third presentation differs from the second presentation and the first presentation in at least one way other than a difference in size, and displaying information about the second event with the third presentation. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein: displaying the information about the first event with the first presentation and the information about the second event with the first presentation includes displaying the information about the first event with a first appearance and the information about the second event with the first appearance, displaying the information about the first event with the second presentation and the information about the second event with the second presentation includes displaying the information about the first event with a second appearance different from the first appearance and the information about the second event with the second appearance, and displaying the information about the first event with the third presentation and the information about the second event with the third presentation includes displaying the information about the first event with a third appearance different from the first appearance and different from the second appearance and the information about the second event with the third appearance. 3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein: displaying the information about the first event with the first presentation and the information about the second event with the first presentation includes displaying a first subset of a plurality of characteristics of the first event and the first subset of the plurality of characteristics about the second event, displaying the information about the first event with the second presentation and the information about the second event with the second presentation includes displaying a second subset of the plurality of characteristics of the first event different from the first subset and the second subset of the plurality of characteristics of the second event, and displaying the information about the first event with the third presentation and the information about the second event with the third presentation includes displaying a subset of the plurality of characteristics of the first event different from the first and second subsets and a third subset of the plurality of characteristics of the second event. 4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising: while displaying the first representation with the first presentation and the second representation with the first presentation, displaying a first number of representations of events arranged in the bracket; in response to receiving the input: in accordance with the determination that the input corresponds to the request to change the zoom level the first amount, displaying a second number different from the first number of representations of events arranged in the bracket; and in accordance with the determination that the input corresponds to the request to change the zoom level the second amount, displaying a third number different from the first and second numbers of representations of events arranged in the bracket. 5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising: while displaying the first representation and the second representation with the first presentation, receiving, using the one or more input devices, a second input corresponding to a request to change the zoom level of the plurality of representations of events to a respective zoom level; and in response to receiving the second input: displaying, using the display generation component, the first representation at the respective zoom level including displaying the first representation with a selectable option that, when selected, causes the electronic device to play the first event. 6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising: while displaying the plurality of representations of events arranged in the bracket, including the first representation including information about the first event and the second representation including information about the second event: displaying, using the display generation component, a navigation bar including a first option corresponding to a first round of a series of events including multiple rounds and a second option corresponding to a second round of the series of events different from the first round, wherein the first event and the second event are included in a third round of the series of events different from the first round and the second round; receiving, using the one or more input devices, a second input corresponding to selection of the first option or the second option; and in response to receiving the second input: in accordance with a determination that the input corresponds to selection of the first option, displaying, using the display generation component, a third representation including information about a third event included in the first round and a fourth representation including information about a fourth event included in the first round; and in accordance with a determination that the input corresponds to selection of the second option, displaying, using the display generation component, a fifth representation including information about a fifth event included in the second round and a sixth representation including information about a sixth event included in the second round. 7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising: while displaying the plurality of representations of events arranged in the bracket, including the first representation including information about the first event and the second representation including information about the second event, wherein the first event and the second event are included in a respective round of a series of events including multiple rounds: receiving, using the one or more input devices, a second input corresponding to a request to display representations of events included in a round of the series different from the respective round; and in response to receiving the second input: in accordance with a determination that the input corresponds to a request to view representations of events in a first roun
