Abstract

Reduced-size user interfaces for providing weather information are disclosed. At an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display, indications of a location and a temperature at the location may be displayed. In some examples, a user may provide input through a touch on the touch-sensitive display and/or through a rotation of a rotatable input mechanism to display additional weather information, such as weather information for another location, another temperature, another time, and so forth. In some examples, the device may obtain data representing an upcoming activity, determine whether the activity is to begin within a threshold amount of time, and display weather information based on the upcoming activity. In some examples, the device may display an affordance at a position to indicate the time of day for which a weather condition is provided.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An electronic device, comprising:
a touch-sensitive display; a rotatable input mechanism; 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 an affordance on the touch-sensitive display, the affordance corresponding to a weather application;
detecting a contact on the affordance;
in response to detecting the contact on the affordance, displaying a plurality of regions representing different geographic locations, wherein:
the plurality of regions are arranged along a vertical column; and
the plurality of regions include a first region representing a first location and a second region representing a second location different from the first location;

detecting a contact on the first region;
in response to detecting the contact on the first region, displaying a current value for a respective weather parameter at the first location;
while displaying the current value for the respective weather parameter at the first location, detecting movement of the rotatable input mechanism; and
in response to detecting the movement of the rotatable input mechanism, displaying information selected from the group consisting of a temperature at the second location, the plurality of regions, and one or more forecasted values for the respective weather parameter for the first location.

2 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein displaying the information comprises displaying a plurality of forecasted values for the respective weather parameter for the first location.

3 . The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of forecasted values comprises an hourly forecast.

4 . The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of forecasted values comprises a weekly forecast.

5 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein displaying the information comprises displaying a current temperature at the second location.

6 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein displaying the information comprises displaying the plurality of regions.

7 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein displaying the information comprises displaying one or more forecasted values for the respective weather parameter for the first location.

8 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein displaying the information comprises displaying a forecasted temperature for the first location.

9 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein displaying the information comprises scrolling to reveal additional weather information for the first location.

10 . The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
while displaying the current value for the respective weather parameter at the first location, detecting a swipe on the touch-sensitive display; and in response to detecting the swipe, displaying a current value for the respective weather parameter at the second location.

11 . The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for:
while displaying the current value for the respective weather parameter at the first location, detecting a swipe on the touch-sensitive display; and in response to detecting the swipe, scrolling to reveal additional weather information for the first location.

12 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein displaying the current value for the respective weather parameter at the first location comprises displaying an affordance indicating the first location and indicating a position of the first location within a sequence of locations.

13 . A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by one or more processors of an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display and a rotatable input mechanism, the one or more programs including instructions for:
displaying an affordance on the touch-sensitive display, the affordance corresponding to a weather application; detecting a contact on the affordance; in response to detecting the contact on the affordance, displaying a plurality of regions representing different geographic locations, wherein:
the plurality of regions are arranged along a vertical column; and
the plurality of regions include a first region representing a first location and a second region representing a second location different from the first location;
detecting a contact on the first region; in response to detecting the contact on the first region, displaying a current value for a respective weather parameter at the first location; while displaying the current value for the respective weather parameter at the first location, detecting movement of the rotatable input mechanism; and in response to detecting the movement of the rotatable input mechanism, displaying information selected from the group consisting of a temperature at the second location, the plurality of regions, and one or more forecasted values for the respective weather parameter for the first location.

14 . A method, comprising:
at an electronic device with a touch-sensitive display and a rotatable input mechanism:
displaying an affordance on the touch-sensitive display, the affordance corresponding to a weather application;
detecting a contact on the affordance;
in response to detecting the contact on the affordance, displaying a plurality of regions representing different geographic locations, wherein:
the plurality of regions are arranged along a vertical column; and
the plurality of regions include a first region representing a first location and a second region representing a second location different from the first location;

detecting a contact on the first region;
in response to detecting the contact on the first region, displaying a current value for a respective weather parameter at the first location;
while displaying the current value for the respective weather parameter at the first location, detecting movement of the rotatable input mechanism; and
in response to detecting the movement of the rotatable input mechanism, displaying information selected from the group consisting of a temperature at the second location, the plurality of regions, and one or more forecasted values for the respective weather parameter for the first location.
