Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A computer system displays a first version of a first user interface that includes first user interface objects displayed concurrently with a first background. The first user interface objects include content from a first plurality of applications. In response to detecting a first input, when the first input includes movement in a first direction, the system replaces display of the first version of the first user interface with a second user interface that includes representations of a second plurality of applications. When the first input includes second movement in a second direction, the system replaces display of the first version of the first user interface with display of a second version of the first user interface that includes second user interface objects displayed with a second background. The second user interface objects correspond to a third plurality of applications and include content from the third plurality of applications.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A method, comprising: at a computer system that is in communication with a display generation component: displaying, via the display generation component, a first version of a first user interface that corresponds to a restricted state of the computer system, wherein displaying the first version of the first user interface includes displaying a first plurality of user interface objects displayed concurrently with a first background in accordance with a first configuration, and wherein the first plurality of user interface objects correspond to a first plurality of applications and include respective content from the first plurality of applications and are updated periodically as information represented by the first plurality of user interface objects changes; while displaying the first version of the first user interface, detecting a first input; in response to detecting the first input: in accordance with a determination that the first input meets first criteria, wherein the first criteria require that the first input includes first movement in a first direction in order for the first criteria to be met, replacing display of the first version of the first user interface with display of a second user interface that includes respective representations of a second plurality of applications, wherein the respective representations of the second plurality of applications, when activated, cause the computer system to launch corresponding applications of the respective representations; and in accordance with a determination that the first input meets second criteria, wherein the second criteria require that the first input is maintained for at least a threshold amount of time, displaying a representation of the first version of the first user interface concurrently with display of at least a portion of a representation of a second version of the first user interface, wherein the second version of the first user interface includes a second plurality of user interface objects displayed concurrently with a second background in accordance with a second configuration, wherein the second plurality of user interface objects correspond to a third plurality of applications and include respective content from the third plurality of applications and are updated periodically as information represented by the second plurality of user interface objects changes, and wherein the first background is different from the second background, the first plurality of user interface objects is different from the second plurality of user interface objects, and/or the first configuration is different from the second configuration. 2 . The method of claim 1 , including: while the display generation component is in a power-saving state, detecting a second input that corresponds to a request to display the first user interface; and in response to detecting the second input that corresponds to the request to display the first user interface: in accordance with a determination that the first version of the first user interface is a currently selected version for the first user interface, displaying a first animated transition that corresponds to the first version of the first user interface and displaying the first version of the first user interface upon completion of the first animated transition; and in accordance with a determination that the second version of the first user interface is the currently selected version of the first user interface, displaying a second animated transition that corresponds to the second version of the first user interface and displaying the second version of the first user interface upon completion of the second animated transition, wherein the first animated transition is different from the second animated transition. 3 . The method of claim 2 , including: in response to detecting the second input that corresponds to the request to display the first user interface: in accordance with a determination that the currently selected version of the first user interface is a respective version of the first user interface that includes a plurality of weather-based elements, displaying the currently selected version of the first user interface after displaying animated changes of one or more elements of the plurality of weather-based elements. 4 . The method of claim 2 , including: in response to detecting the second input that corresponds to the request to display the first user interface: in accordance with a determination that the currently selected version of the first user interface is a respective version of the first user interface that includes an image of at least a portion of a planetary or celestial body, displaying the currently selected version of the first user interface after displaying animated movement of the planetary or celestial body. 5 . The method of claim 2 , including: in response to detecting the second input that corresponds to the request to display the first user interface: in accordance with a determination that the currently selected version of the first user interface is a respective version of the first user interface that includes a photo, displaying the currently selected version of the first user interface after changing at least a first visual property of at least a portion of the photo through a plurality of values for the first visual property. 6 . The method of claim 2 , including: in response to detecting the second input that corresponds to the request to display the first user interface: in accordance with a determination that the currently selected version of the first user interface is a respective version of the first user interface that includes a first color gradient, displaying animated changes of the first colored gradient before displaying the currently selected version of the first user interface. 7 . The method of claim 2 , including: in response to detecting the second input that corresponds to the request to display the first user interface: in accordance with a determination that the currently selected version of the first user interface is a respective version of the first user interface that includes one or more graphical objects, displaying animated movements of the one or more graphical objects before displaying the currently selected version of the first user interface. 8 . The method of claim 1 , including: while displaying a currently selected version of the first user interface, detecting a third input that meets the first criteria; and in response to detecting the third input that meets the first criteria, replacing display of the currently selected version of the first user interface with a respective version of the second user interface that corresponds to the currently selected version of the first user interface, including: in accordance with a determination that the currently selected version of the first user interface is the first version of the first user interface, displaying a third animated transition that corresponds to the first version of the first user interface and displaying a first version of the second user interface upon completion of the third animated transition; and in accordance with a determination that the currently selected version of the first user interface is the second version of the first user interface, displaying a fourth animated transition that corresponds to the second version of the first user interface and displaying a second version of the second user interface upon completion of the fourth animated transition, wherein the third animated transition is different from the fourth animated transition. 9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein replacing display of the currently selected version of the first user interface w
