Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces related to sources of video data. User interfaces enable users to configure and interact with the sources of video data, such as for displaying a live video feed and a recorded video from an external source of video data. In some embodiments, a device provides user interfaces for displaying video from a video source and controlling external devices related to the source.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . An electronic device, comprising: a display; 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: receiving data identifying a source of video data; in response to receiving the data identifying the source of video data: in accordance with a determination that the source of video data is a first type of source of video data displaying, on the display device, a first notifications settings affordance without displaying a second notifications settings affordance, wherein the first notifications settings affordance enables a first type of notifications for the source of video data; in accordance with a determination that the source of video data is a second type of source of video data, concurrently displaying, on the display device: the first notifications settings affordance, and the second notifications settings affordance, wherein the second notifications settings affordance enables a second type of notifications for the source of video data; detecting a first input; in accordance with a determination that the first input corresponds to activation of the first notifications settings affordance, transmitting information to set a configuration profile of the source of video data according to the first notifications settings affordance such that first type of notifications is enabled; and in accordance with a determination that the first input corresponds to activation of the second notifications settings affordance, transmitting information to set the configuration profile of the source of video data according to the second notifications settings affordance such that the second type of notifications is enabled. 2 . The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for: displaying, on the display device, a plurality of motion detection affordances, including: a first motion detection affordance corresponding to a first motion detection condition, and a second motion detection affordance corresponding to a second motion detection condition different from the first motion detection condition; detecting a second input corresponding to a selection of the first motion detection condition; subsequent to detecting the second input, transmitting information to update notifications settings of the configuration profile of the source of video data according to the selected motion detection condition without updating the notifications settings of the second type of notifications; while displaying the second notifications settings affordance, detecting a third input corresponding to activation of the second notifications settings affordance; and subsequent to detecting the third input, transmitting information to update notifications settings of the configuration profile of the source of video data according to the second notifications settings affordance such that the second type of notifications are disabled without updating the notifications settings of the first type of notifications. 3 . The electronic device of claim 2 , the one or more programs further including instructions for: in accordance with a determination that the source of video data is a second type of source of video data: while displaying the second notifications settings affordance, detecting a fourth input corresponding to activation of the second notifications settings affordance; displaying a third notifications settings affordance concurrently with the first notifications settings affordance and the second notifications settings affordance; while displaying the third notifications settings affordance, detect a fifth input corresponding to activation of the third notifications settings affordance; in response to detecting the fifth input, ceasing display of the plurality of motion detection affordances; and subsequent to detecting the fifth input, transmitting information to update the notifications settings of the configuration profile of the source of video according to the third notifications settings affordance such that the first type of notifications is disabled without updating the notifications settings of the second type of notifications. 4 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the second notifications settings affordance is associated with an accessory of the source of video data. 5 . The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein: sources of video data of the first type include a camera and do not include an input mechanism for generating alerts; and sources of video data of the second type include a camera and an input mechanism for generating alerts. 6 . The electronic device of claim 1 , the one or more programs further including instructions for: in accordance with a determination that the source of video data is a second type of source of video data: while displaying the first notifications settings affordance, detecting a sixth input corresponding to activation of the first notifications settings affordance; in response to detecting the sixth input, ceasing display of a plurality of motion detection affordances and the second notifications settings affordance; and subsequent to detecting the sixth input, transmitting information to update notifications settings of the configuration profile of the source of video data such that the first type of notifications and the second type of notifications for the source of video data are disabled. 7 . 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 display, the one or more programs including instructions for: receiving data identifying a source of video data; in response to receiving the data identifying the source of video data: in accordance with a determination that the source of video data is a first type of source of video data displaying, on the display device, a first notifications settings affordance without displaying a second notifications settings affordance, wherein the first notifications settings affordance enables a first type of notifications for the source of video data; in accordance with a determination that the source of video data is a second type of source of video data, concurrently displaying, on the display device: the first notifications settings affordance, and the second notifications settings affordance, wherein the second notifications settings affordance enables a second type of notifications for the source of video data; detecting a first input; in accordance with a determination that the first input corresponds to activation of the first notifications settings affordance, transmitting information to set a configuration profile of the source of video data according to the first notifications settings affordance such that first type of notifications is enabled; and in accordance with a determination that the first input corresponds to activation of the second notifications settings affordance, transmitting information to set the configuration profile of the source of video data according to the second notifications settings affordance such that the second type of notifications is enabled. 8 . The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 7 , the one or more programs further including instructions for: displaying, on the display device, a plurality of motion detection affordances, including: a first motion detection affordance corresponding to a first motion detection condition, and a second motion detection affordance corresponding to a second motion detection condition different from the first motion detection condition;
