Abstract

The present disclosure relates to techniques accessing and displaying information pertaining to past times and future times. In some embodiments, a device displays a first current-time indicator and a user interface object configured to display information corresponding to a first information source and to the current time. In some embodiments, in response to and in accordance with detecting a rotation of a rotatable input mechanism, the device displays a non-current-time indicator indicating a non-current time, and updates the first user interface object to display information corresponding to the first information source and the non-current time. In some embodiments, the device continues to display an indication of the current time.

First claim

1 . (canceled)

2 . A device comprising:
a display; a rotatable input mechanism that rotates relative to a housing of the device; one or more haptic output components; 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: displaying, on the display, a user interface that includes concurrently displaying:
a time indicator indicating a first time; and
a user interface object displaying information corresponding to the first time, wherein the information corresponding to the first time is information other than a date or time;
while displaying the user interface on the display, detecting a first rotation of the rotatable input mechanism relative to the housing of the device; and in response to detecting the first rotation of the rotatable input mechanism:
updating the user interface to include:
a time indicator indicating a second time different from the first time, wherein the second time is determined in accordance with the first rotation; and
information corresponding to the second time displayed at a location at which the user interface object displaying information corresponding to the first time was displayed prior to detecting the first rotation of the rotatable input mechanism, wherein the information corresponding to the second time is information other than a date or time; and

outputting, via the one or more haptic output components, a haptic output corresponding to updating the user interface to display the information corresponding to the second time.

3 . The device of claim 2 , wherein the second time is a future time after the first time.

4 . The device of claim 2 , wherein the second time is a past time before the first time.

5 . The device of claim 2 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
while displaying the user interface on the display, detecting a second rotation of the rotatable input mechanism relative to the housing of the device; and in response to detecting the second rotation of the rotatable input mechanism:
updating the user interface to include:
a time indicator indicating a third time different from the first time and the second time, wherein the third time is determined in accordance with the second rotation; and
information corresponding to the third time displayed at a location at which the user interface object displaying information corresponding to the first time was displayed prior to detecting the first rotation of the rotatable input mechanism, wherein the information corresponding to the third time is information other than a date or time; and

outputting, via the one or more haptic output components, a second haptic output corresponding to updating the user interface to display the information corresponding to the third time.

6 . The device of claim 5 , wherein the second rotation of the rotatable input mechanism is a further rotation of the rotatable input mechanism in the same direction as the first rotation of the rotatable input mechanism.

7 . The device of claim 2 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
while displaying the user interface on the display, detecting a second rotation of the rotatable input mechanism relative to the housing of the device; and in response to detecting the second rotation of the rotatable input mechanism:
updating the user interface to include:
a time indicator indicating a third time different from the first time and the second time, wherein the third time is determined in accordance with the second rotation; and
information corresponding to the third time displayed at a location at which the user interface object displaying information corresponding to the first time was displayed prior to detecting the first rotation of the rotatable input mechanism, wherein the information corresponding to the third time is information other than a date or time; and

in accordance with a determination that a speed of rotation of the rotatable input mechanism is below a threshold, outputting, via the one or more haptic output components, a second haptic output corresponding to updating the user interface to display the information corresponding to the third time; and
in accordance with a determination that the speed of rotation of the rotatable input mechanism time is above the threshold, forgoing outputting the second haptic output corresponding to updating the user interface to display the information corresponding to the third time.

8 . The device of claim 2 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
while displaying the updated user interface, detecting a touch contact on the display; and in response to detecting the touch contact on the display:
in accordance with a determination that the touch contact is at a location corresponding to the information corresponding to the second time displayed at the location at which the user interface object was displayed prior to detecting the first rotation:
displaying a second user interface corresponding to the user interface object, wherein the second user interface is based at least in part on the information corresponding to the second time.

9 . The device of claim 2 , wherein the information corresponding to the first time and the information corresponding to the second time pertain to a first information source.

10 . The device of claim 2 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
in response to detecting the first rotation of the rotatable input mechanism:
in accordance with a determination that the second time corresponds to a predefined time, outputting, via the one or more haptic output components, a third haptic output.

11 . The device of claim 10 , wherein the predefined time is a predefined time interval.

12 . The device of claim 10 , wherein the predefined time is a predefined future time after the first time.

13 . The device of claim 10 , wherein the predefined time is a predefined past time before the first time.

14 . The device of claim 2 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
in response to detecting the first rotation of the rotatable input mechanism, providing an auditory output corresponding to updating the user interface to display the information corresponding to the second time.

15 . The device of claim 2 , wherein the one or more programs further include instructions for:
detecting the first rotation of the rotatable input mechanism has ceased; and in response to detecting the first rotation of the rotatable input mechanism has ceased, providing an auditory output.

16 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of a device with a display, a rotatable input mechanism that rotates relative to a housing of the device, and one or more haptic output components, the one or more programs including instructions for:
displaying, on the display, a user interface that includes concurrently displaying:
a time indicator indicating a first time; and
a user interface object displaying information corresponding to the first time, wherein the information corresponding to the first time is information other than a date or time;
while displaying the user interface on the display, detecting a first rotation of the rotatable input mechanism relative to the housing of the device; and in response to detecting the first rotation of the rotatable input mechanism:
updating t
