Devices, Methods, and Graphical User Interfaces for Displaying and Using Menus.

TECHNICAL FIELD (0001] This relates generally to electronic devices with touch-sensitive surfaces, including but not limited to electronic devices with touch-sensitive surfaces that display and use menus.

BACKGROUND [0002] The use of touch-sensitive surfaces as input devices for computers and other electronic computing devices has increased significantly in recent years. Exemplary touch10 sensitive surfaces include touchpads and touch-screen displays. Such surfaces are widely used to navigate and interact with user interfaces on a display. One way to interact with user interfaces is via menus displayed on the display.

|0003] But existing methods and devices for displaying and using menus are cumbersome and inefficient. For example, menus often display numerous options that are rarely used. The display of these options makes it more difficult to find and activate menu options that are more frequently used. On the other hand, it is also desirable to provide ready access to both rarely used options and more frequently used options.

SUMMARY [0004] Accordingly, there is a need for electronic devices with faster, more efficient methods and interfaces for displaying and using menus. Such methods and interfaces optionally complement or replace conventional methods for displaying and using menus.

Such methods and interfaces reduce the number, extent, and/or nature of the inputs from a user and produce a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated devices, such methods and. interfaces conserve power and increase the time between battery charges. [0005] The above deficiencies and other problems associated with user interfaces for electronic devices with touch-sensitive surfaces are reduced or eliminated by the disclosed devices.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

As noted above, existing methods and devices for displaying and using menus are cumbersome and inefficient. For example, menus often display numerous options that are rarely used. The display of these options makes it more difficult to find and activate menu options that are more frequently used. On the other hand, it is also desirable to provide ready access to both rarely used options and more frequently used options.

)0035] Here, devices and methods are disclosed that improve upon the display and use of menus.

[0036J In some embodiments, a reduced menu with fewer options is displayed in response detecting user inputs of a first type, and an expanded menu with more options is displayed in response detecting user Inputs of a second type. The input types optionally depend on the number of contacts and/or the intensity {e.g.. force or pressure) of the contacts used in the input. In some embodiments, the reduced menus are radial menus with four or fewer options, which make it easy to see and activate the desired option.

)0037] In some embodiments, a cursor that is displayed over a user interface object ceases to be displayed when a reduced menu is displayed. This indicates to the user that precise control of a cursor is not needed or used to activate a menu option; imprecise finger gestures (e.g., taps or swipes) without a cursor are used instead.

[0038] In some embodiments, if a press input at a location that corresponds to a user interface element, has only a single option for the press input, an action is initiated that corresponds to the single option, without displaying a menu. On the other hand, if the press input is at a location that corresponds to a user interface element with multiple options for the press input, then a menu is overlaid on the user interlace element. This avoids the display of unnecessary menus.

)0(139] Irt some embodiments, a menu for a particular user interface element is displayed in response to a press input. When the press input intensity falls below a threshold, if location and timing criteria are met, an action is performed that is associated with the particular user interface element and display of the menu ceases. On the other hand, if the location criteria are not met, the action Is not performed and, If the timing criteria are not met, the menu continues fo be displayed. This helps to display and dismiss the menu as needed. [0040] in some embodiments, a map is displayed which a user can rotate by performing a touch input on a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a two-finger rotation gesture).

The touch-sensitive surface includes one or more tactile output generators that generate a tactile output when the map aligns with certain orientations (e.g., true north and/or transit north). In some embodiments, the tactile output provides the user with a sensation that the map is “snapping’’ into important orientations.

[0041] Below. Figures I A-IB, 2, and 3 provide a description of exemplary devices.

EXEM PEAR Y DEV ICES [0042] Reference will now he made in detail, to embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the various described embodiments. However, ii will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art that the various described embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, w'ell-known methods, procedures, components, circuits, and networks have not been described in detail so as not to unnecessarily obscure aspects of the embodiments.

[0Ö43] It will also be understood that, although the terms first, second, etc. are, in some instances, used herein to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element from another. For example, a first contact could be termed a second contact, and, similarly, a second contact could be termed a first contact, without departing from the scope of the various described embodiments. The first contact and the second contact are both contacts, but they are not the same contact, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

3() [0044( The terminology used m the description of the various described embodiments herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used in the description of the various described embodiments and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearlv indicates otherwise, it will also be understood that the term “and/or” as used herein refers ίο and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. It will be further understood that the terms “includes,” “including,” “comprises,” and/or “comprising,” when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, hut do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.

[0045j .As used herein, die term “‘if is, optionally, construed to mean “when” or “upon” or “in response to determining” or “in response to detecting?’ depending on the context. Similarly, the phrase if it is determined” or “if [a stated condition or event] is detected” is, optionally, construed to mean “‘upon determining” or 'dn response to determining” or “upon detecting (the stated condition or event]” or “in response to detecting [the stated condition or event],” depending on the context, [0046] Embodiments of electronic devices, user interfaces for such devices, and associated processes for using such devices are described, in some embodiments, the device is a portable communications device, such as a mobile telephone, that also contains other functions, such as PDA and/or music player functions. Exemplary embodiments of portable multifunction devices include, without limitation, the iPhone®, iPod Touch®, and iPad® devices from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California. Other portable electronic devices, such as laptops or tablet computers with touch-sensitive surfaces (e.g., touch-screen displays and-or touchpads), are, optionally, used. It. should also he understood that, in sonte embodiments, the device Is not a portable communications device, but is a desktop computer with a touchsensitive surface (e.g., a touch-screen display and/or a touchpad).

[0047] In the discussion that follows, an electronic device that includes a display and a touch-sensitive surface is described. It should be understood, however, that the electronic device optionally includes one or more other physical user-interface devices, such as a physical keyboard, a mouse and/or a joystick.

10048] The device typically supports a variety of applications, such as one or more of the following: a note taking application, a drawing application, a presentation application, a word processing application, a website creation application, a disk authoring application, a spreadsheet application, a gaming application, a telephone application, a video conferencing application, an e-mail application, an instant messaging application, a workout support application, a photo management application, a digital camera application, a digital video camera application, a web browsing application, a digital music player application, and/or a digital video player application.

The various applications that are executed on the device optionally use at least one common physical user-interface device, such as the touch-sensitive surface. One or more functions of the touch-sensitive surface as well as corresponding information displayed on the device are. optionally, adjusted and/or varied from one application to the next and/or within a respective application, hi this way, a common physical architecture (such as the touchsensitive surface) of the device optionally supports the variety of applications with user interfaces that are intuitive and transparent to the user.

[0050] Attention is now directed toward embodiments of portable devices with touchsensitive displays. Figure 1A is a block diagram illustrating portable multifunction device

100 with touch-sensitive display system 112 in accordance with some embodiments. Touchsensitive display system 112 is sometimes called a'Touch screen”' for convenience, and is sometimes simply called a touch-sensitive display. Device 100 includes memory 102 (which optionally includes one or more computer readable storage mediums), memory controller 122, one or more processing units (CPUs) 120, peripherals interface 1 IS, RF circuitry 108, audio circuitry 110, speaker 111, microphone 115, input/output {I/O) subsystem 106, other input or control devices 116, and external port 124. Device 100 optionally includes one or more optical sensors 164, Device 100 optionally includes one or more intensity sensors 165 for detecting intensity of contacts on device 100 (e.g.. a touch-sensitive surface such as touch-sensitive display system 112 of device 100). Device 100 optionally includes one or more tactile output generators 167 for generating tactile outputs on device 100 (e.g., generating tactile outputs on a touch-sensitive surface such as touch-sensitive display system 112 of device 100 or touchpad 355 of device 3001. These components optionally communicate over one or more communication buses or signal lines 103.

J005Π As used in the speci fication and claims, the term ‘‘tactile output’’ refers to physical displacement of a device relative to a previous position of the device, physical displacement of a component (e.g., a touch-sensitive surface) of a device relative to another component (e.g., housing) of the device, or displacement of the component relative to a center of mass of the device that will be detected by a user with the user’s sense of touch. For example, in situations where the device or the component of the device is in contact with a surface of a user that is sensitive to touch (e.g., a linger, palm, or other part of a user’s hand), the tactile output generated by the physical displacement will be interpreted by the user as a tactile sensation corresponding to a percei ved change in physical characteristics of the device or the component of the device. For example, movement of a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touch-sensitive display or trackpad) is, optionally, interpreted by the user as a “down click” or “up click’' of a physical actuator button , in some cases, a user will feel a tactile sensation such as an “down click'’ or “up click even when there is no movement of a physical actuator button associated with the touch-sensitive surface that is physically pressed (e.g.., displaced) by the user’s movements. As another example, movement of the touch-sensitive surface is, optionally, interpreted or sensed by the user as “roughness of the touch-sensitive surface, even when there is no change in smoothness of the touch-sensitive surface. While such interpretations of touch by a user will be subject to the individualized sensory perceptions of the user, there are many sensory perceptions of touch that are common to a large majority of users. Thus, when a tactile output is described as corresponding to a particular sensory perception of a user (e.g., an 'up click, a “down click,’' “roughness), unless otherwise stated, the generated tactile output corresponds to physical displacement of the device or a component thereof that will generate the described sensory perception for a typical (or average) user.

10052} It should be appreciated that device 100 is only one example of a portable multifunction device, and that device 100 optionally has more or fewer components than shown, optionally combines two or more components, or optionally has a different configuration or arrangement of the components. The various components shown in Figure 1A are implemented in hardware, software, firmware, or a combination thereof, including one or more signal processing and/or application specific integrated circuits.

[0053] Memory 102 optionally includes high-speed random access memory and optionally also includes non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic disk storage devices, flash memory devices, or other non-volatile solid-state memory devices. Access to memory 102 by other components of device 100, such as CPU(s) 120 and the peripherals interface 118, is, optionally, controlled by memory controller 122.

[0054] Peripherals interface 1 i 8 can be used to couple input and output peripherals of the device to CPU(s) 120 and memory 102. The one or more processors 120 run or execute various software programs and/or sets of instructions stored in memory 102 to perform various functions for device 100 and to process data.

Event information includes information about a sub-event (e.g., a user touch on touch20 sensitive display system 112, as part of a multi-touch gesture). Peripherals interface 118 transmits information it receives from I/O subsystem 106 or a sensor, such as proximity sensor 166, accelerometer(s) 168, and/or microphone 113 (through audio circuitry 110). Information that peripherals interface 118 receives from I/O subsystem 106 includes information from touch-sensitive display system 112 or a touch-sensitive surface.

(00106] in some embodiments, event monitor 171 sends requests to the peripherals interface 118 at predetermined intervals. In response, peripherals interface i 18 transmits event information. In other embodiments, peripheral interface 118 transmits event information only when there is a significant event (e.g., receiving an input above a predetennined noise threshold and/or for more than a predetermined duration).

(00107] In some embodiments, event sorter 170 also includes a hit view determination module 172 and/or an active event recognizer determination module 173.

[00108] lilt view determination module 172 provides software procedures for determining where a sub-event has taken place within one or more views, when touch27 sensitive display system 112 displays more than one view. Views are made up of controls and other elements that a user can see on the display.

[00109] Another aspect of the user interface associated with an application is a set of views, sometimes herein called application views or user interface windows, in which information is displayed and touch-based gestures occur. The application views (of a respective application) in which a touch: is detected optionally correspond to programmatic levels within a programmatic or view hierarchy of the application. For example, the lowest level view in which a touch is detected is. optionally, called the hit view, and the set of events that are recognized as proper inputs are, optionally, determined based, at least in part, on the hit view of the initial touch that begins a touch-based gesture.

[00110J Hit view determination module 172 receives information related to sub-events of a touch-based gesture. When an application has multiple views organized in a hierarchy, hit view determination module 172 identifies a hit view as the lowest view in the hierarchy which should handle the sub-event. In most circumstances, the hit view is the lowest level view in which an initiating sub-event occurs (i.e., the first sub-event in the sequence of subevents that form an event or potential event). Once the hit view is identified by the hit view determination module, the hit view typically receives all sub-events related to the same touch or input source for which it was identified as the hit view,

100111 ] Active event recognizer determination module 173 determines which view or views within a view hierarchy should receive a particular sequence of sub-events, in some embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that only the hit view should receive a particular sequence of sub-events. In other embodiments, active event recognizer determination module 173 determines that all views that include the physical location of a sub-event are actively involved views, and therefore determines that all actively involved views should receive a particular sequence of sub-events, in other embodiments, even if touch sub-events were entirely confined to the area associated with one particular view, views higher in the hierarchy would still remain as actively involved views.

[00112] Event dispatcher module 174 dispatches the event information to an event recognizer (e.g., event recognizer 180). In embodiments including active event recognizer determination module 173. event dispatcher module 174 delivers the event information to an event recognizer determined by active event recognizer determination module 173. In some embodiments, event dispatcher module 174 stores in an event queue the event information, which is retrieved by a respective event receiver module 182.

[00113] In some embodiments, operating system 126 includes event sorter 170.

Alternatively, application 136-1 includes event sorter 170. in yet other embodiments, event sorter 170 is a stand-alone module, or a part of another module stored in memory 102, such as contact/motion module 130.

[00114] In some embodiments, application 136-1 includes a plurality of event handlers

190 and one or more application views 191, each of which includes instructions for handling touch events that occur within a respective view of the application’s user interface. Each application view 191 of die application 136-1 includes one or more event recognizers 180. Typically, a respective application view 191 includes a plurality of event recognizers 180, In other embodiments, one or more of event recognizers 180 are part of a separate module, such as a user interface kit {not shown) or a higher level object from which application 136-1 inherits methods and other properties. In some embodiments, a respective event handler 190 includes one or more of; data updater 176, object updater 177, GUI updater 178, and/or event data 179 received from event sorter 170, Event handler 190 optionally uses or calls data updater 176, object updater 177 or GUI updater 178 to update the application internal state 192, Alternatively, one or more of the application views 191 includes one or more respective event handlers 190. Also, in some embodiments, one or more o^rd 4a updater 176, object updater 177, and GUI updater 178 are included in a respective application view' 191.

[00115] .A respective event recognizer ί 80 receives event information (e.g,, event data

179) from event sorter 170, and identifies an event from the event information. Event recognizer 180 includes event receiver 182 and event comparator 184. In some embodiments, event recognizer 180 also includes at. least a subset of: metadata 183, and event delivery instructions 188 (which optionally include sub-event delivery instructions).

[09116] Event receiver 182 receives event information from event sorter 170. The event information includes information about a sub-event, for example, a touch or a touch movement. Depending on the sub-event, the event information also includes additional information, such as location of the sub-event. When the sub-event concerns motion of a touch, the event information optionally also includes speed and direction cf the sub-event. In some embodiments, events include rotation of the device from one orientation to another (e.g., from a portrait orientation to a landscape orientation, or vice versa), and the event information includes corresponding information about the current orientation (also called device attitude) of the device.

[00117] Event comparator 184 compares the event information to predefined event or sub-event definitions and, based on the comparison, determines an event or sub-event., or determines or updates the state of an event or sub-event, in some embodiments, event comparator 184 includes event definitions 186. Event definitions 186 contain definitions of events (e.g., predefined sequences of sub-events), for example, event 1 (187-1), event 2 (1872), and others. In some embodiments, sub-events in an event j 87 include, for example, touch begin, touch end, touch movement, touch cancellation, and multiple touching. In one example, the definition for event 1 (187-1) is a double tap on a displayed object. The double tap, for example, comprises a first touch (touch begin) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, a first lift-off (touch end) for a predetermined phase, a second touch (touch begm) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, and a second lift-off (touch end) for a predetermined phase. In another example, the definition for event 2 (187-2) is a dragging on a displayed object. The dragging, for example, comprises a touch (or contact) on the displayed object for a predetermined phase, a movement of the touch across touchsensitive display system 112, and lift-off of the touch (touch end), in some embodiments, the event also includes information for one or more associated event handlers 190.

[00118] In some embodiments, event definition 187 includes a definition of an event for a respective user-interface object. In some embodiments, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which user-interface object is associated with a sub-event. For example, in an application view in which three user-interlace objects are displayed on touchsensitive display system 112, when a touch is detected on touch-sensitive display system 112, event comparator 184 performs a hit test to determine which! of the three user-interface objects is associated with the touch (sub-event), if each displayed object is associated with a respective event handler 190, the event comparator uses the result of the hit test to determine which event handler 190 should be activated. For example, event comparator 184 selects an event handler associated with the sub-event and the object triggering the hit test.

[CH>119] fn some embodiments, the definition for a respective event 187 also includes delayed actions that delay delivery of the event information until after it has been determined whether the sequence of sub-events does or does not correspond to the event recognizer's event type.

[00120] When a respective event recognizer 180 determines that the series of sub30 events do not match any of the events in event, definitions 186, the respective event recognizer 180 enters an event impossible, event failed, or event ended state, after which it disregards subsequent sub-events of the touch-based gesture. In this situation, other event recognizers, i f any, that remain active for the hit view continue to track and process subevents of an ongoing touch-based gesture.

IÜÖ12 in some embodiments, a respective event recognizer i 80 includes metadata

183 with configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how the event delivery system should perform sub-event delivery to actively involved event recognizers. In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate how event recognizers interact, or are enabled to interact, with one another. In some embodiments, metadata 183 includes configurable properties, flags, and/or lists that indicate whether sub-events are delivered to varying levels in the view- or programmatic hierarchy. [00122] In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer 180 activates event handler 190 associated with an event when one or more particular sub-events of an event are recognized. In some embodiments, a respective event recognizer 180 delivers event information associated with the event to event handier 190. Activating an event handier 190 is distinct from sending (and deferred sending) sub-events to a respective hit view. In some embodiments, event recognizer 180 throws a flag associated with the recognized event, and event handler 190 associated with the flag catches the flag and performs a predefined process [001231 In some embodiments, event delivery instructions 188 include sub-event delivery instructions that deliver event information about a sub-event without activating an event handier, instead, the sub-event, delivery instructions deliver event information to event handlers associated with the series of sub-events or to actively involved views. Event handlers associated with the series of sub-events or with actively involved views receive the event information and perform a predetermined process.

[00124] In some embodiments, data updater 176 creates and updates data used in application 136-1. For example, data updater 176 updates the telephone number used in contacts module 137, or stores a video file used In video player module 145. In some embodiments, object updater 177 creates and updates objects used in application 136-1. For example, object updater 176 creates a new user-interface object or updates the position of a user-interface object. GUI updater 178 updates the GUI. For example, GUI updater 178 prepares display information and sends it to graphics module 132 for display on a touchsensitive display.

[00125] In some embodiments, event handler's) 190 includes or has access to data updater 176. object updater 177, and GUI updater 178. In some embodiments, data updater

176, object updater 17”, and GUI updater 178 are included in a single module of a respective application 136-1 or application view 191. in other embodiments, they are included in two or more software modules.

[00126] It shall he understood that the forgoing discussion regarding event handling of user touches on touch-sensitive displays also applies io other forms of user inputs to operate multifunction devices 100 with input-devices, not all of which are initiated on touch screens.

For example, mouse movement and mouse button presses, optionally coordinated with single or multiple keyboard presses or holds; contact movements such as taps, drags, scrolls, etc., on touch-pads; pen stylus Inputs; movement of the device; oral instructions; detected eye movements; biometric inputs; and/or any combination thereof are optionally used as inputs corresponding to sub-events which defme an event to be recognized.

[00l27| Figure .?. illustrates a portable multifunction device 100 having a touch screen 10 (e.g., touch-sensitive display system 112, Figure 1 A) in accordance with some embodiments.

The touch screen optionally displays one or more graphics within user Interface (Ul) 200. in this embodiment, as well as others described below, a user is enabled to select one or more of the graphics by making a gesture on the graphics, for example, with one or more fingers 202 (not drawn to scale in the figure) or one or more styluses 203 (not drawn to scale in the figure). In some embodiments, selection of one or more graphics occurs when the user breaks contact with the one or more graphics. In some embodiments, the gesture optionally includes one or more tans, one or more swipes (from left to right, right to left, upward and/or downward) and/or a rolling of a ringer (from right to left, left to right, upward and/or downward) that has made contact with device 100. in some implementations or circumstances, inadvertent contact with a graphic does not select the graphic. For example, a swipe gesture that sweeps over an application icon optionally does not select the corresponding application when the gesture corresponding to selection is a tap.

[00128] Device 100 optionally also includes one or more physical buttons, such as “home’* or menu button 204. As described previously, menu button 204 is, optionally, used to navigate to any application 136 in a set of applications that are, optionally executed on device 100, Alternatively, nt some embodiments, the menu button is implemented as a soft key in a GUI displayed on the touch-screen display.

[0Ö129] In some embodiments, device 100 includes the touch-screen display, menu button 20-4, push button 206 for powering the device on/off and locking the device, volume adjustment buttonis) 208, Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card slot 210, head set jack 212, and docking/charging external port 124. Push button 206 is, optionally, used to turn the power on/off on the device by depressing the button and holding the hutton in the depressed state ter a predefined time interval; to lock the device by depressing the button and releasing the button before the predefined time interval has elapsed; and/or to unlock the device or initiate an unlock process. In some embodiments, device 100 also accepts verbal input tor activation or deactivation of some functions through microphone 113. Device 100 also, optionally, includes one or more contact intensity sensors 165 for detecting intensity of contacts on touch-sensitive display system 112 and/or one or more tactile output generators

167 for generating tactile outputs for a user of device 100.

[00130] Figure 3 is a block diagram of an exemplary multifunction device with a display and a touch-sensitive surface in accordance with some embodiments. Device 300 need not be portable. In some embodiments, device 300 is a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a tablet computer, a multimedia player device, a navigation device, an educational device (such as a child’s learning toy), a gaming system, or a control device (e.g,, a home or industrial controller). Device 300 typically includes one or more processing units (CPU’s) it), one or more network or other communications interfaces 360, memory 370, and one or more communication buses 320 for interconnecting these components. Communication buses 320 optionally include circuitry (sometimes called a chipset) that interconnects and controls communications between system components. Device 300 includes input/output (I/O) interlace 330 comprising display 340, which is typically a touch-screen display. I/O interface 330 also optionally includes a keyboard and/or mouse (or other pointing device) 350 and touchpad 355, tactile output generator 357 for generating tactile outputs on device 300 (e.g., similar to tactile output generators) 167 described above with reference to Figure 1 A), sensors 359 (e.g.. optical, acceleration, proximity, touch-sensitive, and/or contact intensity sensors similar to contact intensity sensor(s) 165 described above with reference to Figure 1 A). Memory 370 includes high-speed random access memory, such as DRAM, SRAM,

DDR RAM or other random access solid state memory devices; and optionally includes nonvolatile memory, such as one or more magnetic disk storage devices, optical disk storage devices, Hash memory devices, or other non-volatile solid state storage devices. Memory 370 optionally includes one or more storage devices remotely located from CPU(s) 310. In some embodiments, memory 370 stores programs, modules, and data structures analogous to the programs, modules, and data structures stored in memory 102 of portable multifunction device 100 (Figure 1 A), or a subset, thereof. Furthermore, memory 370 optionally stores additional progr ams, modules, and data structures not present in memory 102 of portable multifunction device 100. For example, memory 370 of device 300 optionally stores drawing module 380, presentation module 382, word processing module 384, website creation module 386, disk authoring module 388, and/or spreadsheet module 390, while memory 102 of portable multifunction device 100 (Figure 1 A) optionally does not store these modules.

Each of the above identified elements in Figure 3 are, optionally, stored in one or more of the previously mentioned memory devices. Each of the above identified modules corresponds to a set of instructions tor performing a function described above. The above identified modules or programs (i.e., sets of instructions) need not be implemented as separate software programs, procedures or modules, and thus various subsets of these modules are, optionally, combined or otherwise re-arranged in various embodiments, In some embodiments., memory 370 optionally stores a subset, of the modules and data, structures identified above. Furthermore, memory 370 optionally stores additional modules and data structures not described above.

[001321 Attention is now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces (''Ifl”) that are, optionally, implemented on portable multifunction device 100.

|00133 J Figure 4A illustrates an exemplary user interface for a menu of applications on portable multifunction device 100 in accordance with some embodiments. Similar user interfaces are, optionally, implemented on device 300. in some embodiments, user interface

400 includes the following elements, or a subset or superset thereof;

• Signal strength indicators) 402 for wireless communication(s), such as cellular and Wi-Fi signals;

® Time 404;

• Bluetooth indicator 405;

* Battery status indicator 406;

• Tray 40S with icons for frequently used applications, such as;

o Icon 416 tor telephone module 138, labeled “Phone,” which ontionallv includes an indicator 414 of the number of missed calls or voicemail messages; o Icon 418 for e-mail client module 140, labeled '‘Mail,” which optionally includes an indicator 410 of the number of unread e~mai Is;

o Icon. 420 for browser module 147, labeled “Browser;” and o loon 422 for video and music player module 152, also referred to as iPod (trademark of Apple Inc.) module 152, labeled “iPod;” and » Icons for other applications, such as:

o icon 424 for IM module 141, labeled Messages;” o Icon 426 for calendar module 148. labeled '‘Calendar;’’ o icon 428 for image management module 144, labeled “Photos;” o Icon 430 for camera module 143. labeled ‘'Camera;” o Icon 432 for online video module 155, labeled “Online Video;” o Icon 434 for stocks widget 149-2, labeled “Stocks;” o Icon 436 for map module 154, labeled “Map;” o Icon 438 for weather widget 149-1, labeled “Weather;” o icon 440 for alarm clock widget 149-4. labeled “Clock;’ o icon 442 for workout support module 142, labeled “Workout Support;” o Icon 444 for notes module 153, labeled “Notes;” and o Icon 446 for a settings application or module, which provides access to settings for device 100 and its various applications 136.

{00134) It should be noted that the icon labels illustrated in Figure 4A are merely exemplary. For example, in some embodiments, icon 422 for video and music player module 152 is labeled “Music’’ or “.Music Player.” Other labels are, optionally, used for various application icons. In some embodiments, a label tor a respective application icon includes a name of an application corresponding to the respective application icon. In some embodiments, a label for a particular application icon is distinct from a name of an application corresponding to fhe particular application icon.

)00135] Figure 4B illustrates an exemplary user interface on a device (e.g., device 300, Figure 3) with a touch-sensitive surface 451 (e.g., a tablet or touchpad 355, Figure 3) that is separate from the display 450. Device 300 also, optionally, includes one or more contact intensity sensors (e.g., one or more of sensors 357) for detecting intensity of contacts on touch-sensitive surface 451 and/or one or more tactile output generators 359 for generating tactile outputs for a user of device 300.

[00136] Figure 4B illustrates an exemplary user interface on a device (e.g,, device 300, Figure 3) with a touch-sensitive surface 451 (e.g., a tablet or touchpad 355, Figure 3) that is separate from the display 450. Many of the examples that follow will be given with reference to a device that detects inputs on a touch-sensitive surface that is separate from the display, as shown tn Figure 4B, In some embodiments, the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., 451 in Figure 4B) has a primary axis (e.g., 452 in Figure 4B) that corresponds to a primary axis (e.g,, 453 in Figure -+13) on the display (e.g., 450). In accordance with these embodiments, the device detects contacts (e.g.. 460 and 462 in Figure 413) with the touch-sensitive surface 451 at locations that correspond to respective locations on the display (e.g., in Figure 4B, 460 corresponds to 468 and 462 corresponds to 470). In this way, user inputs (e.g., contacts 460 and 462, and movements thereof) detected by the device on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., 451 in Figure 4B) are used by the device to manipulate the user interface on the display (e.g..

450 in Figure 4B) of the multifunction device when the touch-sensitive surface is separate from the display. It should be understood that similar methods are, optionally, used for other user interfaces described herein.

(00137] Additionally, while the following examples are given primarily with reference to finger inputs (e.g., finger contacts, finger tap gestures, linger swipe gestures, etc,), it.

should be understood that, in some embodiments, one or more of the finger inputs are replaced with input from another input device (e.g., a mouse based input or a stylus input). For example, a swipe gesture is, optionally, replaced with a mouse click (e.g., instead of a contact) followed by movement of the cursor along the path of the swipe (e.g., instead of movement of the contact). As another example, a tap gesture is, optionally, replaced with a mouse click while the cursor is located over the location of the tap gesture (e.g,, instead of detection of the contact followed by ceasing to detect the contact). Similarly, when multiple user inputs are simultaneously detected, it should be understood that multiple computer mice are, optionally, used simultaneously, or a mouse and finger contacts are, optionally, used simultaneously.

|00138| As used herein, the term focus selector’ refers to an input element that indicates a current part of a user interface wdb which a user is interacting. In some implementations that include a cursor or other location marker, the cursor acts as a “focus selector,” so that when an input (e.g., a press input) is detected on a touch-sensitive surface (e.g., touchpad 355 in Figure 3 or touch-sensitive surface 451 in Figure 4B) while the cursor is over a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider or other user interface element), the particular user interface element is adjusted in accordance with the detected input. In some implementations that include a touch-screen display (e.g., touchsensitive display system 112 in Figure 1A or the touch screen in Figure 4A) that enables direct interaction with user interface elements on the touch-screen display, a detected contact on the touch-screen acts as a “focus selector,” so that when an input (e.g.. a press input by the contact) is detected on the touch-screen display at a location of a particular user interface element (e.g., a button, window, slider or other user interface element), the particular user interface element is adjusted in accordance with the detected input. In some implementations, focus is moved from one region of a user interface to another region of the user interface without corresponding movement of a cursor or movement of a contact on a touch-screen display (e.g., by using a tab key or arrow keys to move focus from one button to another button); in these implementations, the focus selector moves in accordance with movement, of focus between different regions of the user interface. Without regard to the specific form taken by the focus selector, the focus selector is generally the user interface element (or contact on a touch-screen display) that is controlled hy the user so as to communicate the user’s intended interaction with the user interface (e.g., by indicating, to the device, the element of the user interface with which the user is intending to interact). For example, the location of a focus selector (e.g,, a cursor, a contact, or a selection box) over a respective button while a press input is detected on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g., a touchpad or touch screen) will indicate that the user is intending to activate the respective button (as opposed to other user interface elements shown on a display of the device).

[00139] As used in the specification and claims, the term “intensity” of a contact on a touch-sensitive surface refers to the force or pressure (force per unit area) of a contact (e.g., a finger contact or a stylus contact) on the touch-sensitive surface, or to a substitute (proxy) for the force or pressure of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface. The intensity of a contact has a range of values that includes at least four distinct values anti more typically includes hundreds of distinct values (e.g., at least 256). Intensity of a contact is. optionally, determined (or measured) using various approaches and various sensors or combinations of sensors. For example, one or more force sensors underneath or adjacent to the touch-sensitive surface are, optionally, used to measure force at various points on the touch-sensitive surface, in some implementations, force measurements from multiple force sensors are combined (e.g., a weighted average or a sum) to determine an estimated force of a contact. Similarly, a pressure-sensitive tip of a stylus is, optionally, used to determine a pressure of the stylus on the touch-sensitive surface. Alternatively, the size of the contact area detected on the touchsensitive surface and/or changes thereto, the capacitance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate to the contact and/or changes thereto, and/or the resistance of the touch-sensitive surface proximate to the contact and/or changes thereto are, optionally, used as a substitute for the force or pressure of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface. In some implementations, the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are used directly to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity dweshold is described in units corresponding to the substitute measurements). In some implementations, the substitute measurements for contact force or pressure are converted to an estimated force or pressure and the estimated force or pressure is used to determine whether an intensity threshold has been exceeded (e.g., the intensity threshold is a pressure threshold measured in units of pressure). Using the intensity of a contact as an attribute of a user input allows for user access to additional device functionality that may otherwise not be readily accessible by the user on a reduced-size device with limited real estate for displaying affordarsces (e.g., on a touch-sensitive display) and/or receiving user input (e.g., via a touch-sensitive display, a touch-sensitive surface, or a physieal/meehanieal control such as a knob or a button;·.

[0Ö14ÖJ in some embodiments, contact/motion module 130 uses a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an operation has been, performed by a user (e.g,, to determine whether a user has ‘clicked” on an icon). In some embodiments, at least a subset of the intensity thresholds are determined in accordance with software parameters (e.g., the intensity thresholds are not determined by the activation thresholds of particular physical actuators and can be adjusted without changing the physical hardware of device 100). For example, a mouse ‘click'’ threshold of a trackpad or touch-screen display can be set to any of a large range of predefined thresholds values without changing the trackpad or touch-screen display hardware. /Additionally, in some embodiments, a user of the device is provided with software settings for adjusting one or more of the set of intensity thresholds (e.g., by adjusting individual intensity thresholds and/or by adjusting a plurality of intensity thresholds at once with a system-level click ‘intensity’ parameter).

[001411 As used in the specification and claims, the term “characteristic intensity” of a contact refers io a characteristic of the contact based on one or more intensities of the contact. In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is based on multiple intensity samples. The characteristic intensity is, optionally, based on a predefined n umber of intensity samples, or a set of intensity samples collected during a predetermined time period (e.g., 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5,

1, 2, 5, 10 seconds) relative to a predefined event (e.g.. after detecting the contact, prior to detecting liftoff of the contact, before or after detecting a start, of movement of the contact, prior to detecting an end of the contact, before or after detecting an increase in intensity of the contact, and/or before or after detecting a decrease in intensity of the contact). A characteristic intensity of a contact is, optionally based on one or more of: a maximum value of the intensities of the contact, a mean value ef the intensities of the contact, an average value of the intensities of the contact, a top 10 percentile value of the intensities of the contact, a value at the half maximum of the intensities of the contact, a value at the 90 percent maximum of the intensities of the contact, or the like, in some embodiments, the duration of ore intensity thresholds may include a first Intensity threshold and a second intensity threshold. In this example, a contact with a characteristic intensity that does not exceed the first threshold the contact is used in determining, the characteristic intensity (e.g., when the characteristic intensity is an average of the intensity of the contact over time). In some embodiments, the characteristic intensity is compared to a set of one or more intensity thresholds to determine whether an operation has been performed by a user. For example, the set of one or m results in a first operation, a contact with a characteristic intensity that, exceeds the first intensity threshold and does not exceed the second intensity threshold results in a second operation, and a contact with a characteristic intensity that exceeds the second intensity threshold results in a third operation. In some embodiments, a comparison between the characteristic intensity and one or more intensity thresholds is used to determine whether or not to perform one or more operations (e.g., whether to perform a respective option or forgo performing the respective operation) rather than being used to determine whether to perform a first operation or a second operation.

[0(M42[ in some embodiments, a portion of a gesture is identified for purposes of 10 determining a characteristic intensity. For example, a touch-sensitive surface may receive a continuous swipe contact transitioning from a start location and reaching an end location (e.g., a drag gesture), at which point (he intensity of the contact increases, in this example, the characteristic intensity of the contact at the end location may be based on only a portion of the continuous swipe contact, and not the entire swipe contact (e.g., only the portion of the swipe contact at the end location). In some embodiments, a smoothing algorithm may be applied to die intensities of the swipe contact prior to determining the characteristic intensity of the contact. For example, the smoothing algorithm optionally includes one or more of: an unweighted sliding-average smoothing algorithm, a triangular smoothing algorithm, a median filter smoothing algorithm, and/or an exponential smoothing algorithm. In some circumstances, these smoothing algorithms eliminate narrow spikes or dips in the intensities of die swipe contact for purposes of determining a characteristic intensity.

[00143[ The user interface figures described herein (e.g., Figures 5A-5NN, 6A-6.X, and

15A-158) optionally include various intensity diagrams that show the current intensity of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface relative to one or more intensity thresholds (e.g., a contact detection intensity threshold ITy, a light press intensity threshold ΠΤ, a deep press intensity threshold ITo (e.g., that is at least initially higher than 11), and/or one or more other intensity thresholds (e.g., an intensity threshold In that is lower than IQ). This intensity diagram is typically not part of the displayed user interface, hut is provided to aid in the interpretation of the figures, in some embodiments, the light press intensify threshold corresponds io an intensity at which die device will perform operations typically associated with clicking a button of a physical mouse or a trackpad, in some embodiments, the deep press intensity threshold corresponds to an intensity at which the device will perform operations that are different from operations typically associated with clicking a button of a physical mouse or a trackpad. In some embodiments, when a contact is detected with a [00145] characteristic intensity below the light press intensity threshold (e.g., and above a nominal contact-detection intensity threshold ΓΤο below which the contact is no longer detected), the device will move a focus selector in accordance with movement of the contact on the touchsensitive surface without performing an operation associated with the light press intensity threshold or the deep press intensity threshold. Generally, unless otherwise stated, these intensity thresholds are consistent between different sets of user interface figures.

[00144] In some embodiments, the response of the device to inputs detected by the device depends on criteria based on the contact intensity during the input. For example, for some “light press” inputs, the intensity of a contact exceeding a first intensity threshold during the input triggers a first response. In some embodiments, the response of the device to inputs detected by the device depends on criteria that Include both the contact Intensity during the input and time-based criteria. For example, for some ‘deep press” inputs, the intensity of a contact exceeding a second intensity threshold during the input, greater than the first, intensity threshold for a light press, triggers a second response only if a delay time has elapsed between meeting tire first intensity threshold and meeting the second intensity threshold. This delay time is typically less than 2.00 ms in duration (e.g.. 40, 100, or 120 ms, depending on the magnitude of the second intensity threshold, with the delay time increasing as the second intensity threshold increases). This delay time helps to avoid accidental deep press inputs. As another example, for some “deep press” inputs, there is a reduced-sensitivity time period that occurs after the time at which the first intensity threshold is met. During tire reduced-sensitivity time period, the second intensity threshold is increased. This temporary increase in the second intensity threshold also helps to avoid accidental deep press inputs. For other deep press inputs, the response to detection of a deep press input does not depend on time-based criteria.

in some embodiments, one or more of the input intensity thresholds and/or the corresponding outputs vary based on one or more factors, such as user settings, contact motion, input timing, application running, rate at which the intensity is applied, number of concurrent inputs, user history, environmental factors (e.g,, ambient noise), focus selector position, and the like Exemplary factors are described in U.S. Patent Application Serial Nos. 14/399,606 and 14/624,296, which are incorporated by reference herein in their entireties, [00146] For example. Figure -1C illustrates a dynamic intensity threshold 480 that changes o ver time based in part on the intensity of touch input 476 over time. Dynamic intensity threshold 480 is a sum of two components, first component 474 that decays over time after a predefined delay time pi from when touch input 476 is initially detected, and second component 478 that frails the intensify of touch input 476 over time. The initial high intensity threshold of first component 474 reduces accidental triggering of a “deep press” response, while still allowing an immediate “deep press” response if touch input 476 provides sufficient intensity. Second component 478 reduces unintentional triggering of a deep press” response by gradual intensity fluctuations of in a touch input. In some embodiments, when touch input 476 satisfies dynamic intensity threshold 480 (e.g,, at point 481 in Figure 4C), the deep press'’ response is triggered.

(001471 Figure 4D illustrates another dynamic intensity threshold 486 (e.g.. intensify threshold Io). Figure 4D also illustrates two other intensity thresholds: a first intensity threshold In and a second intensify threshold 11. In Figure 4D, although touch input 484 satisfies the first intensity threshold in and the second intensify threshold II prior to time p2, no response is provided until delay time p2 has elapsed al time 482. Also in Figure 4D, dynamic intensity threshold 486 decays over lime, with the decay starting at time 488 after a predefined delay time pi has elapsed from lime 482 (when the response associated with the second intensity threshold k. was triggered). This type of dynamic intensity threshold reduces accidental triggering of a response associated with the dynamic intensity threshold Id immediately after, or concurrently with, triggering a response associated with a lower intensity threshold, such as the first intensity threshold hr or the second intensity threshold k. [001481 Figure 4F illustrate yet another dynamic intensify threshold 492 (e.g.. intensity threshold Id). In Figure 4F, a response associated with the intensity threshold II is triggered after the delay time p2 has elapsed from when touch input 490 is initially detected. Concurrently, dynamic intensity threshold 492 decays after the predefined delay lime pi has elapsed from when touch input 490 is initially detected. So a decrease in intensity of touch input 490 after triggering the response associated with the intensity threshold 11, followed by an increase in the intensity of touch input 490, without releasing touch input 490, can trigger a response associated with the intensity threshold Id (e.g., at time 494) even when the intensity of touch input 490 is below another intensity threshold, for example, the intensity threshold II, [00149] An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the light press intensity threshold ITt to an intensity between the light press intensity threshold ΙΊΤ and the deep press intensity threshold ITd is sometimes referred to as a “light press’’ input. An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the deep press intensity threshold ITd to an intensity above the deep press intensity threshold ITd is sometimes referred to as a “deep press” input . An increase of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity below the contact-detection intensity threshold III· to an intensity between the contact-detection intensity threshold ΓΤ« and the light press intensity threshold

ΓΓ·, is sometimes referred to as detecting the contact on the touch-surface. A decrease of characteristic intensity of the contact from an intensity above the contact-detection intensify threshold ITo to an intensity below the contact-detection intensity threshold ITo is sometimes referred to as detecting liftoff of the contact from the touch-surface. In some embodiments ITa is zero. In some embodiments, ITo is greater than zero. In some illustrations a shaded circle or oval is used to represent intensity of a contact on the touch-sensitive surface. In some illustrations, a circle or oval without shading is used represent a respective contact on the touch-sensitive surface without specifying the intensity ofthe respective contact.

[061 SO] In some embodiments, described herein, one or more operations are performed in response to detecting a gesture that includes a respective press input or in response to detecting the respective press input performed with a respective contact (or a plurality of contacts), where the respective press input is detected based at least in part on detecting an increase in intensity of the contact (or plurality of contacts) above a press-input intensity threshold. In some embodiments, the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold (e.g., the respective operation is performed on a “down stroke” (sometimes also called “touch-down”) ofthe respective press input), hn some embodiments, the press input includes an increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold and a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact below the press-input intensity threshold, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the subsequent decrease in intensity of the respective contact below the press-input threshold (e.g., the respective operation is performed on an “up stroke’ (sometimes also called “lift-off) ofthe respective press input).

ΙΘΘ153] In some embodiments, the device employs intensity hysteresis to avoid accidental inputs sometimes termed “jitter,” where the device defines or selects a hysteresis intensity threshold with a predefined relationship to the press-input intensity threshold (e g.. the hysteresis intensity threshold is X intensity units lower than the press-input intensity threshold or the hysteresis intensity threshold is 75%, 90%, or some reasonable proportion of the press-input intensity threshold). Thus, in some embodiments, the press input includes an increase in intensity of the respective contact above the press-input intensity threshold and a subsequent decrease in intensity ofthe contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold that corresponds to the press- input intensity threshold, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the subsequent decrease in intensity of the respective contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold (e.g., the respective operation is performed on an “up stroke” of the respective press input). Similarly, in some embodiments, the press input is detected only when the device detects an increase in intensity of the contact from an intensity at or below the hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity at or above the press-input intensity threshold and, optionally, a subsequent decrease in intensity of the contact to an intensity at or below the hysteresis intensity, and the respective operation is performed in response to detecting the press input (e.g., the increase in intensity of the contact or the decrease in Intensity of the contact, depending on the circumstances).

[00152 J For ease of explanation, the description of operations performed in response to a press input associated with a press-input intensity threshold or in response to a. gesture including the press input are, optionally, triggered in response to detecting: an increase in intensity of a contact above the press-input intensity threshold, an increase in intensity of a contact from an intensity below the hysteresis intensity threshold to an intensity above the press-input intensity threshold, a decrease in intensity of the contact below the press-input intensity threshold, or a decrease in intensity of the contact below the hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to the press-input intensity threshold. Additionally, in examples where an operation is described as being performed in response to detecting a decrease in intensity of a contact below the press-input intensity threshold, the operation is, optionally, performed in response to detecting a decrease in intensity of the contact below a hysteresis intensity threshold corresponding to, and lower than, the press-input intensity threshold. As described above, in some embodiment, the triggering of these responses also depends on time-based criteria being met (e.g., a delay time has elapsed between a first intensity threshold being met and a second intensity threshold being met).

USER INTERFACES AND ASSOCIATED PROCESSES [00153] Aitention is now directed towards embodiments of user interfaces (“IJ 1”) and associated processes that may be implemented on an electronic device, such as portable multifunction device 100 or device 300, with a display, a touch-sensitive surface, and one or more sensors to detect intensities of contacts with the touch-sensitive surface.

[00154] Figures 5 A-5NN illustrate exemplary user interfaces for displaying and using menus in accordance with some embodiments. The user interfaces in these figures are used to illustrate the processes described below, including the processes in Figures 7A-7F, 8A-8B, 9A-9C, 10A-10D, and 16A-16B. At least some of Figures 5A-5NN include intensity diagrams that show the current intensity of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface relative to a plurality of intensity thresholds including ITc, ΠΥ, and ITd. In some embodiments, operations similar to those described below with reference io ITo are performed with reference to a different intensity threshold (e.g., ‘1 IV). In some embodiments, operations similar to those described below with reference to R). are performed with reference to a different intensity threshold (e.g,, “Flo”).

[00155] In some embodiments, the device on which the user interfaces are displayed is an electronic device with a display (e.g., display 450) and a separate touch-sensitive surface {e.g,, touch-sensitive surface 451). For example, see Figures 5A-511. In some embodiments, the device on which the user interfaces are displayed is the portable multifunction device lOO, the display is touch-sensitive display system 11 2, and the touch-sensitive surface includes tactile output generators 167 on the display (Figure 1 A). For example, see Figure 5.U-5NN. )00156] for convenience of explanation, the embodiments described with reference io Figures 5Α-5Π will be discussed with reference to a device with a display 450 and a separate touch-sensitive surface 451; however, analogous operations are, optionally, performed on a device with a touch-sensitive display system 112 in response to detecting the contacts described in Figures 5A-5II on the touch-sensitive display system 112 while displaying the user interfaces shown in Figures 5A-51Ï on the touch-sensitive display system 112; in such embodiments, the focus selector is. optionally: a respective contact, a representative point corresponding to a contact (e.g,, a centroid of a respective contact or a point associated with a respective contact), or a centroid of two or more contacts detected on the touch-sensitive display system 112, in place of cursor 502.

(00157] Figures 5A-5B show a sequence in which a one-finger tight press gesture is performed on. highlighted text within a web page. Figure 5A illustrates a window 504 for a web browser application displayed on display 450. In Figure 5A, the window 504 shows a home page (e.g., corresponding to the URL www.all_worldjaews.com/home) tor a website (e.g., the “All World News’’ website) where a portion of the text (e.g,, “Ebola’’) is highlighted. For example, the word ''Ebola” was previously selected or highlighted via a click and drag gesture performed with the cursor 502. or the like by a user. Figure 5A further illustrates a contact 506 detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 and a displayed representation of a focus selector (e.g., cursor 502) corresponding fo contact 506 at a location on the display 450 that corresponds fo the highlighted portion of text (e.g,, “Ebola”) within the window 504. In this example, the intensity of the contact 506 is between ITl and ITd (e.g., sometimes called a light press intensity level). In Figure 5B, the portion of the text (e.g..

’‘Ebola”) of the home page is no longer highlighted in response to detecting the one-finger light press gesture in Figure 5 A.

[00158J Figures 5C-5D show a sequence in which a two -finger light press gesture is performed on highlighted text within a web page. Figure 5C illustrates contacts 508 and 510 detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 and a displayed representation of a locus selector (e.g., the cursor 502) corresponding to contacts 508 and 510 at a location on the display 450 tion of text (e.g., “Ebola”) within the window 504. In (e.g., the light press intensity level). In this example, the combined intensity is the average of the intensities of contacts 508 and 510, the sum, of the intensities of contacts 508 and 510, a total intensity defected by one or more intensity sensors associated with touch-sensitive surface 451, the maximum intensity between the intensity of contact 508 and the intensity of contact 510, or the like.

[01)159] In Figure 51), an expanded menu 512 is displayed in response to detecting the two-finger light press gesture in Figure 5C. in this example, the expanded menu 512 includes a plurahty of selectable options associated with the highlighteil portion of the text (e.g., “Ebola”) of the web page, including: performing a lookup on the word “Ebola,” performing a web search on the word “Ebola” with: a search engine, copying the word “Ebola” (e.g.. to the clipboard), performing speech-related options associated with the word ‘Ebola,” and adding the word “Ebola” as spoken track. One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that a greater or lesser number of options may be included in the expanded menu 512,

Figures 5E-5F show a sequence in which a one-finger deep press gesture is performed on highlighted text within a web page. Figure 5E illustrates contact 514 detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 and a displayed representation of a focus selector (e.g., the cursor 502 ί corresponding to contact 514 at a location on the display 450 that corresponds to the highlighted portion of text (e.g.. “Ebola”) within the window 504. In this example, the intensity of the contact 514 is above ITo (e.g., sometimes called a deep press intensity level). [00161] In Figure 5F, the cursor 502 ceases to be displayed and a reduced menu 516 is displayed on display 450 in response to detecting the one-finger deep press gesture in Figure 5E. In this example, the reduced menu 516 is centered at the location where cursor 502 was displayed in Figure 5E when the intensity of the contact 514 exceeded ITo. In Figure 5F, the reduced menu 516 includes four distinct selectable quadrants oriented in the cardinal directions. The left quadrant of the reduced menu 516, when activated (e.g., with a tap gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to die left quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the left quadrant), causes the word “'Ebola’' to be copied to the clipboard. T he right quadrant of the reduced menu 516, which is typically associated with a paste action, is inactive or disabled due to the lack of a currently copied item (e.g., the clipboard is empty). The top and bottom quadrants of the reduced menu 516 are empty, in some embodiments, the reduced menu 516, in Figure 5F. includes a subset of the selectable options included in the expanded menu 512 in Figure 5D. In other embodiments, the reduced menu 516, in Figure 5F, includes a set of selectable options that are distinct from the set of selectable options in the expanded menu 512 in Figure 5D. One of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that different selectable options may be included in the reduced menu 516. In some embodiments, the options included in the reduced menu for a respective user interface element are pre- set and/or are user customizable.

[66162] Figures 5G-5J show a sequence In which a one-finger deep press gesture is performed on a link within a web page. Figure 5G illustrates contact 518 detected on touchsensitive surface -151 and a displayed representation of a focus selector (e.g., the cursor 502) corresponding to contact 518 at a location on the display 450 that corresponds to a link (e.g., to an “Entertainment News” section of the website) within the window 504. in this example, the intensity of the contact 518 is abo ve ITo (e.g.. sometimes called a deep press intensity level).

In Figure 5F1, the cursor 502 ceases to be displayed and a reduced menu 520 is concurrently displayed on the display 450 along with a preview window 522 in response todetecting the one-finger deep press gesture in Figure 5G. In this example, the reduced menu 520 is centered at the location cursor 502 was displayed in Figure 5G when the intensity of the contact 518 exceeded ITo. The preview window 522 displays at least a portion of the web page that corresponds to an “Entertainment News” section of the website. In some embodiments, preview window 522 is not displayed in response to detecting the one-finger deep press gesture in Figure 5G.

[661641 In Figure 5H, the reduced menu 520 is associated with a plurality of selectable options that correspond io the link (e.g.. to the ‘“Entertainment News” section of the website) within the window 504, including: a new window action, a share action, a new' tab action, and an add to reading list action. The left quadrant of the reduced menu 520, when activated (e.g., with a tap gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to the left quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the left quadrant), causes the “‘Entertainment News” section of the website to be opened in a new window of the web browser application. In some embodiments, the new window (e.g., the “Entertainment News” section of the website) is pretetched. The top quadrant of the reduced menu 520, when activated (e.g., with a tap gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to the top quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the top quadrant), causes share options to he displayed in a separate reduced menu (e.g., as shown in Figure 5J) or other menu.

[00165] The right quadrant of the reduced menu 520, when activated (e.g., with a tap gesture at. a location on the touch-sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to the right quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the right quadrant), causes the “Entertainment News' section of the website to be opened in a new tab within window 504 of the web browser application or, optionally, in a new browser window (depending on system default preferences or user-selected preferences). The bottom quadrant of the reduced menu 520, when activated (e.g,, with a tap gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to the bottom quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the bottom quadrant), causes the “Entertainment News” section of the website to be added to the user's reading list tor future access and perusal.

100166) Figure 5H also illustrates detection of a swipe gesture corresponding to the movement of contact 524 from a first location 526-a to a second location 526-b in the direction of the top quadrant associated with the share action. In this example, the intensity of the contact 524 is between ITl and ITd (e.g., the light press intensity level). In Figure 51, a visual characteristic of the top quadrant of the reduced menu 520 is changed m response to detecting die swipe gesture in the direction of the top quadrant in Figure 5H. In some embodiments, this response also occurs provided the intensity of the contact is above {To. The changed visual characteristic (e.g., highlighting, shading, outlining, etc.) indicates to the user that the top quadrant is selected in response to detecting the swipe gesture.

[00167] In Figure 5J, a reduced menu 528 is displayed on the display 450 in response to detecting the swipe gesture in Figure 5H. In Figure 5J, the reduced menu 528 is associated with a plurality of selectable options associated with the share action including; an email option, an instant messaging (e.g., SMS) option. Social Network A option, and Social Network B option. The lelt quadrant of the reduced menu 528, when activated (e.g., with a tap gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to the left quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the left quadrant), causes a link to the “Entertainment. News” section of the website to be shared with one or more predefined users or one or more subsequently selected users via Social Network A. The top quadrant the reduced menu 528, when activated (e.g., with a tap gesture at a location on the touch47 sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to the top quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the top quadrant), causes a link to the “Entertainment News” section of the webstte to be shared with one or more predefined users or one or more subsequently selected users via email.

[00168] The right quadrant of the reduced menu 528, when activated (e.g., with a Lap gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to the right quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the right quadrant), causes a link to the “Entertainment News” section of the website io be shared with one or more predefined users or one or more subsequently selected users via instant messaging (e.g., SMS). The bottom quadrant of the reduced menu 528, when activated (e.g., with a tap gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to the bottom quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the bottom quadrant), causes a link to the ‘Entertainment News” section of the website to be shared with one or more predefined users or one or more subsequently selected users via Social Network B, [00169] Figures 5K-5L show a sequence in which a one-finger light press gesture is performed on a link within a web page. Figure 5K illustrates bookmarks bar 532 displayed within the window 504, For example, the bookmarks bar 532 is displayed in response to a previous click on the ‘all bookmarks’’ affordanee 531 with the cursor 502 or in response to detecting a predefined gesture or physical key combination. Figure 5K also illustrates contact

530 detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 and a displayed representation of a focus selector (e.g., the cursor 502) corresponding to contact 530 at a location on the display 450 that corresponds to a link (e.g., an ‘Entertainment News” section of the website) within the window 504. In this example, the intensity of the contact 530 is between ITl and ITd (e.g., the light press intensity level). In Figure 5L, a window 534 for a weh browser application is displayed on display 450 in response to detecting the one-finger light press gesture in Figure 5K. In Figure 5L, the window 534 shows the “Entertainment News” section (e.g., corresponding to the 1JRL www.al! world news.com/ETnews) of the website (e.g., the “All World News” website) along with the bookmarks bar 532.

[0(1170] Figures 5L-5P show a sequence in which a one-finger deep press gesture is performed on a bookmark within a bookmarks bar. Figure 5L illustrates contact 536 detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 and a displayed representation of a focus selector (e.g., the cursor 502) corresponding to contact 536 at a location on the display 450 that corresponds to an entry for “Bookmark F” within the bookmarks bar 532. In this example, the intensity of the contact 536 is above ITo (e.g., the deep press intensity level).

[00171] In Figure 5.M, the cursor 502 ceases to be displayed and a reduced menu 538 is displayed on the display 450 in response to detecting the one-finger deep press gesture in

Figure 51... in this example, the reduced menu 538 is centered at the location cursor 502 was displayed in Figure 5L when the intensity of the contact 536 exceeded ITo. In Figure 5M, the reduced menu 538 is associated with a plurality of selectable options associated with “Bookmark F,” including: a delete action, a new window action, a new tab action, and a copy action.

100172| For example, each of the quadrants of the reduced menu 538 is associated with a hit region on the touch-sensitive surface 451 that is larger than its displayed area on the display 450, Furthermore, the location of the hit regions are determined based on the location cursor 502 v/as displayed in Figure 5L when the intensity of the contact 536 exceeded Γϊ'ο. The left quadrant of the reduced menu 538, when activated (e.g., with a tan gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to the left quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the left quadrant), causes the ‘Bookmark F“’ to be deleted from the bookmarks bar 532 and also from the navigation bar 539. For example, the left quadrant is associated with hit region 540-d, and detection of a contact within hit region 540d causes the left quadrant to be selected and lift-off of a contact within hit region 540-d activates the deletion action associated with the left quadrant. In this example, the left quadrant is visually distinct from the other quadrants (e.g., the text is Italicized and underlined) to indicate that the deletion action associated with the left quadrant is a destructive one. The top quadrant of the reduced menu 538, when activated (e.g.. with a tap gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to the top quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the top quadrant), causes a web page associated with “Bookmark F” to be displayed within a new window of the web browser application. In some embodiments, the web page in the new window is prefetehed. For example, the top quadrant is associated with hit region 540-a. and detection of a contact within hit region 540a causes the top quadrant to be selected and lift-off of a contact within hit region 540-a activates the. new window action associated with the fop quadrant.

100173] The right quadrant of the reduced menu 538, when activated (e.g,, with a tap gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to the right quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the right quadrant), causes the ‘“web page associated with “Bookmark F’ to be opened in a new' tab within window 534 of the web browser application. For example, the right quadrant is associated with hit region 540-b, and detection of a contact within hit region 540-b causes the right quadrant to be selected and hit49 off of a contact within hit region 540-b activates the new tab action, associated with the right quadrant. The bottom quadrant of the reduced menu 538, when activated (e.g., with a tap gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to the bottom quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the bottom quadrant!, causes the URL associated with ‘Bookmark F” to be copied to the clipboard. For example, the bottom quadrant is associated with hit region 540-c, and detection of a contact within hit region 540c causes the bottom quadrant to be selected and lift-off of a contact within hit region 540-c activates the copy action associated with the bottom quadrant.

[00174] Figure 5M also illustrates detection of a swipe gesture corresponding to the 10 movement of contact 542 from a first location 544-a to a second location 544-b (e.g., corresponding to hit region 540-b) in the direction of the right quadrant associated with the new tab action. In this example, the intensity of the contact 542 is between ΓΠ. and ITo (e.g,, the light press intensity level). In Figure 5N, a visual characteristic of the right quadrant of the reduced menu 538 is changed in response to detecting the contact 542 within the hit region 540-b at the second location 544-b, Figure 5N illustrates detection of a swipe gesture corresponding to the movement of the contact 542 from the second location 544-b to a third location 544-c (e.g., corresponding to center of the reduced menu 538 and a center '‘deadzone” of the hit regions 540). in this example, the intensity of the contact 542 is between ITl and ITo (e.g., the light press intensity level), fn Figure 50, the visual characteristic of the right quadrant of the reduced menu 5 38 is no longer changed (e.g., no longer highlighted or otherwise visually distinguished from the other quadrants in the reduced menu) in response to detecting contact 542 at the third location 544-c (e.g., corresponding to center of the reduced menu 538 and a center “dead-zone” of the bit regions 540). In some embodiments, these responses also occur provided the intensity of the contact is above ITo. in Figure 5P, the reduced menu 538 ceases to be displayed and the cursor 502 is re-displayed on the display 45() in response to detecting lift-off of contact. 542 front the third location 544-c (e.g., corresponding to center of the reduced menu 538 and a center “dead-zone” of the hit regions 540), |00175[ Figures 5P-5T show a sequence in which a one-finger deep press gesture Is performed on a bookmark within a navigation bar. Figure 5P illustrates contact 546 detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 and a displayed representation of a focus selector (e.g., the cursor 502) corresponding to contact 546 at a location on the display 450 that corresponds to a “Bookmark C” within the navigation bar 539. In this example, the intensity of the contact 546 is above ITo (e.g.. the deep press intensity level).

[00176'J in Figure 5Q, the cursor 502 ceases to be displayed and a reduced menu 548 is displayed on the display 450 in response to detecting the one-finger deep press gesture in Figure 5P. In this example, the reduced menu 548 is centered at the location cursor 502 was displayed in Figure 5P when the intensity of the contact 546 exceeded Π'ο. In Figure 5Q, the reduced menu 548 is associated with a plurality of selectable options associated with “Bookmark C,” including: a delete action, a new window action, a new lab action, and a copy action.

The left quadrant of the reduced menu 548, when activated (e.g., with a tap gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to the left quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the left quadrant;, causes the “Bookmark C” to be deleted from the bookmarks bar 532 and also from the navigation bar 539. For example, the left quadrant is associated with hit region 554-d, arid detection of a contact within hit region 554-d causes the left quadrant to he selected and lift-off of a contact within hit region 554-d activates the deletion action associated with the left quadrant. In this example, the left quadrant is visually distinct from the other quadrants (e.g., the text is italicized and underlined) to indicate that the deletion action associated with the left quadrant is a destructive one. The top quadrant of the reduced menu 548, when activated (e.g., with a tap gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to the top quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the top quadrant), causes a web page associated with “Bookmark C’ to be displayed within a new window of the web bro wser application. In some embodiments, the web page in the new window is prefetched. For example, the top quadrant is associated with hit region 554-a. and detection of a contact within hit region 554a causes the top quadrant to be selected and li ft-off of a contact within hit region 554-a activates the new window action associated with the top quadrant, [00178] The right quadrant of the reduced menu 548, when activated (e.g., with a tap gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to the right quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the right quadrant), causes the “web page associated with “Bookmark C' to be opened in a new tab within window 534 of the web browser application. For example, the right quadrant is associated with hit region 554-b, and detection of a. contact within hit region 554-b causes the right quadrant to be selected and liftoff of a contact within hit region 554-b activates the new tab action associated with the right quadrant. The bottom quadrant of the reduced menu 548, when activated (e.g., with a tap gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to the bottom quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the bottom quadrant), causes the URL associated with “Bookmark C” to be copied to the clipboard. For example, the bottom quadrant is associated with hit region 554-c, and detection of a contact within hit region 554c causes the bottom quadrant to be selected and lift-off of a contact within hit region 554-c activates the copy action associated with the bottom quadrant, in Figure 5Q, the center of the reduced menu 548 is associated with a center “dead-zone” 556 of the hit regions 554. For example, lift-off of a contact within the center “dead-zone” 556 causes dismissal of the reduced menu 548 while forgoing actions associated with the quadrants of the reduced menu 548.

[00179] In Figure 5Q, a visual characteristic of the right quadrant of the reduced menu

548 is changed in response to detecting contact 550 at a first location 552-a within the hit region 554-b. Figure 5Q also illustrates detection of a swipe gesture corresponding to the movement of contact 550 from the first location 544-a (e.g., corresponding to hit region 554b) to a second location 552-b (e.g., corresponding to hit region 554-a) in the direction of the top quadrant associated with the new window aetion. in this example, the intensity of the contact 550 is between ITr and ITo (e.g., the light press intensity level).

[001 80J In Figure 5R, a visual characteristic of the top quadrant of the reduced menu 548 is changed in response to detecting contact 550 at the second location 552-b within the hit region 554-a. Figure 5R also illustrates defection of a swipe gesture corresponding to die movement of contact 550 from the second location 552-b (e.g., corresponding to hit region

554-a) to a third location 552-c (e.g., corresponding to hit region 554-d) in the direction of the left quadrant associated with the deletion action. In this example, the Intensity of the contact 550 is between Γϊ'ι_ and ITo (e.g., the light press intensity level).In some embodiments, these responses also occur provided the intensity of the contact is above ITo. [(101811 Figure 5S shows an animation in which the left quadrant is torn away from the reduced menu 548 and a visual characteristic of the left quadrant of the reduced menu 548 is changed in response to detecting lift-off of contact 550 at the third location 552-c within the hit region 554-d. In Figure 5T, “Bookmark C” is no longer displayed within the bookmark bar 532 and the navigation bar 539 in response to detecting lift-off of contact 550 at the third location 552-c within the hit region 554-d. The use of reduced menus with bookmarks described herein is merely exemplary. Reduced menus are optionally used in an analogous manner with iconi c, thumbnail, and/or snapshot representations of favorite websites and/or frequently visited sites, for example in a Favorites view, a Frequently Visited Sites view, and/or a Top Sites view in the browser. Reduced menus are optionally used in an analogous manner with tabs in a browser (e.g., in a Tab view that shows tabs on the current device (e.g., device 3 00) and, optionally, tabs on other devices that also belong to the owner of the current device, such as iCloud Tabs in the Safari browser from Apple inc, of Cupertino, California).

[00182] Figures 51J-5Z show a sequence in which a reduced menu is dismissed upon detecting lilt-off in accordance with a determination that predefined timing criteria is satisfied. Figure 5U illustrates a window 558 lor an email application displayed on display 450. In Figure 5IJ, the window 558 displays a list of a plurality of emails (e.g., emails A --1) In a user’s inbox and the contents of selected “Email A.” in some embodiments, a newest or the most urgent email is displayed at the top of the list of the plurality of emails in the user’s inbox and the email at the top of the list is automatically selected, fn Figure 5U, a portion of the text (e.g., “New Years”) of “Email A’’ is highlighted. For example, the words “New

Years” were previously selected or highlighted with a click and drag gesture performed with the cursor 502 or the like by the user. Figure 5U also illustrates a contact 560 detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 and a displayed representation of a focus selector (e.g.. the cursor 502) corresponding to contact 560 at a location on the display 450 that corresponds to the highlighted portion of the text (e.g.. “New Years”) within the window 558, In this example, the intensity of the contact 560 is between ITo and ITj. (e.g., a contact detection intensity threshold). Furthermore, Figure 5U further illustrates that a time of continuous detection of the contact 560 is less than a predefined time period Tx (e.g., 0.25s, 0.5s, 0.75s, etc.).

[00183] In Figure 5 V, the intensity of the contact 560 is between ITT and Π'ο (e.g,, the light press intensity level). In this example, the intensity of contact 560 is also below a predetermined trigger intensity that triggers display of a reduced menu and also eeases to display the cursor 502. In Figure 5W, the cursor 502 ceases to be displayed and a first intermediate representation of a reduced menu 562 is displayed on display 450 in response to detecting tltat the intensity of the contact 560 is above the predetermined trigger intensity. In this example, the intensity of the contact 560 is between ΠΥ and ITo (e.g., the light press intensity level) and is also above the predetermined trigger intensity, A first intermediate representation of the reduced menu 562 is displayed, in Figure 5W, at a first size and a first translucency level and includes selectable options associated with the highlighted portion of the text (e.g., “New Years”) of “Email A,” In this example, the first intermediate representation of the reduced menu 562 is centered at the location cursor 502 was displayed in Figure 5V when the intensity of the contact 518 exceeded the predetermined trigger intensity.

[00184] In Figure 5X, a second intermediate representation of the reduced menu 562 is displayed on display 450 in response to the increase of the intensity of the contact 560. which is still less than ITo, as compared to Figure 5W. Furthermore, Figure SX illustrates that the time of continuous detection of the contact 560 is less than the predefined time period Τχ.

The second intermediate representation of the reduced menu 562, in Figure 5X, is displayed at a second size that is bigger than the first size and a second translucency level that is lower than the first translucency level, [001851 in Figure 5Y, a final representation of the reduced menu 562. is displayed on display 450 in response to detecting that the intensity of the contact 560 is above ITo (e.g., the deep press intensity level). Furthermore, Figure 5Y illustrates that the time of continuous detection of the contact 560 is greater than the predefined time period Τχ. The final intermediate representation of the reduced menu 562, in Figure 5Y, is displayed at a third size that is bigger than the second size and a third translucency level that is lower than the second translucency level. For example, the final representation of the reduced menu 562 is displayed at a normal size and a normal translucency level as compared to the first and second representations of the reduced menu 562 in Figure 5 W and 5X, respectively. In Figure

5Y, the final representation of the reduced menu 562 is associated with selectable options, including a copy action and a disabled paste action. The left quadrant, when activated (e.g., with a tap gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to the left quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the left quadrant), causes the words “New Years” to be copied to the clipboard. The right quadrant, which is typically associated with a paste action, is inactive or disabled due to the lack of a currently copied item (e.g., the clipboard Is empty). The top and bottom quadrants of the reduced menu 562 arc empty. [40186] in Figure 5Z, the reduced menu eeases to he displayed and the cursor 502 is re-displayed on display 450 in response to detecting lift-off of contact 560 and In accordance with a determination that the time of continuous detection of the contact 560 was greater than the predefined time period Τχ. The portion of the text (e.g., “New Years”) of “Email A” is still highlighted in Figure 5Z.

[00187] Figures 52-5BB show a sequence in which a reduced menu is maintained upon detecting lift-off in accordance with a determination that predefined timing, criteria are not satisfied. Figure 5Z illustrates a contact 564 detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 and a displayed representation of a focus selector (e.g., die cursor 502) corresponding to contact 564 at a location on the display 450 that corresponds to a link (e.g.. associated with the URL www.hotels.eom/abc) within the window 558. In this example, the intensity of the contact 564 Is between ITo and IT·, (e.g., the contact detection intensity threshold). Figure 52 further illustrates that a time of continuous detection of the contact 564 is less than a predefined time period Τχ (e.g., 0.25s, 0.5s, 0,75s, etc.), in Figure 5AA, the cursor 502 ceases to be displayed and reduced menu 568 is displayed on display 450 in response to detecting that the intensity of the contact 564 is above ITd. Furthermore, Figure 5AA illustrates that the time of continuous detection of the contact 564 is less than the predefined time period Τχ. In Figure 5 A A, the reduced menu 568 is associated with a plurality of selectable options that correspond to the link (e.g., associated with the URL www.hotels.com/abc), including: a new window action, a share action, a new tab action, and a preview' action.

The left quadrant of the reduced menu 568, when activated (e.g., with a tap or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the left quadrant), causes the web page that corresponds to the link (e.g., www.hotels.corn/abe) to be opened in a new window of the web browser application. In some embodiments, the web page in the new window is prefetched. The Lop quadrant of the reduced menu 568, when activated (e.g.. with a tap gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to the top quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the top quadrant), causes share options to be displayed in a separate reduced menu or other menu. The right quadrant of the reduced menu 568, when activated (e.g., with a tap gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to the rigid quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the right quadrant), causes the web page that corresponds to the link (e.g., www.hotels.com/abc) to be opened in a new tab of the web browser application. The bottom quadrant of the reduced menu 568, when activated (e.g.. with a tap gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to the bottom quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the bottom quadrant), causes a. preview window for tire web page that corresponds to the link (e.g., www.hotels.com/abc) to be displayed.

[00189] In Figure 5BB, contact 564 is no longer defected on touch-sensitive surface

451. Figure 5BB illustrates maintaining display of the reduced menu 5o8 after detecting liftoff of contact 564 and in accordance with a determination that the time of continuous detection of the contact 564 was less than the predefined time period Τχ, (00190) Figures 5BB-5EE show a sequence in which a preview area is concurrently displayed with a. reduced menu in response to selecting a preview option of a reduced menu. Figure 5BB illustrates detection of a swipe gesture corresponding to the movement of contact 565 from the first location 566-a to a second location 566-b in die direction of the bottom quadrant of the reduced menu 568 associated with the preview action. In Figure 5CC, the contact 565 is detected on touch-sensitive surface -151 at the second location 566-b and a visual characteristic of the bottom quadrant of the reduced menu 568 is changed in response to detecting contact 565 at the second location 566-b within a hit region corresponding to the bottom quadrant.

Figure 5DD shows an animation in which the bottom quadrant is tom away from the reduced menu 568 to indicate that it was selected in response to detecting lift-off of contact 565 at the second location 566-b within a hit region corresponding to the bottom quadrant of the reduced menu 568. in Figure 5EE, a reduced menu 570 is concurrently displayed along 'with preview window 572 on display 450 in response to detecting lift-off of contact 565 at the second location 566-b within a hit region corresponding to the bottom quadrant of the reduced menu 568 in Figures 5CC-5DD. The reduced menu 570 is associated with a plurality of selectable options that correspond to the link (e.g., www.hotds.com/abe), including: a new window action, a share action, a new tab action, and an add to reading list action. The preview window 572 displays at least a portion of the web page that corresponds to the link (e.g., www.hotels.eom/abc).

[001921 The left quadrant of the reduced menu 570, when activated (e.g., with a tap gesture at a location on the toucb-sensidve surface 451 that corresponds to the left quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the left quadrant), causes the web page that corresponds to the link (e.g., www.hotels.com/abc) to he opened in a new window of the web browser application. In some embodiments, the web page in the new window is prefetehed.

The ton quadrant of the reduced menu 570, 'when activated (e.g., with a tap gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to the top quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the top quadrant), causes share options io he displayed in a separate reduced menu or other menu. The right quadrant of the reduced menu 570, when, activated (e.g., with a tap gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to the right quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the right quadrant), causes the weh page that corresponds to the link (e.g., www.hotels.com/abc) to be opened in a new tab of the web browser application. The bottom quadrant of the reduced menu 570, when activated (e.g.. with a tap gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to the bottom quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the bottom quadrant), causes the web page that corresponds to the link (e.g,, www.hotels.eorn/ahe) to be added to the user’s reading list for future access and perusal. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the device maintains display of the reduced menu 568 and also displays preview window 572 in response to detecting lift-off of contact 565 at the second location 566-b within a hit region corresponding to the bottom quadrant of the reduced menu 568 in Figures 5CC-5DD. In these embodiments, the bottom quadrant corresponding to the preview action is either disabled or. when activated again, causes the preview window to be dismissed.

[00193] Figures 5FF-5I1 show a sequence in which a one-finger deep press gesture causes display of additional user interface elements for data detected links. Figure 5FF illustrates a contact 574 detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 and a displayed representation of a focus selector (e.g., the cursor 502) corresponding to contact 574 at a location on the display 450 that corresponds to data detected link 576 (e.g., the name “G. Rasputin’''? within the windove 558. In this example, the intensity of the contact 574 is above !Td (e.g., the deep press intensity level). In Figure 5GG, a first additional user interface element 578 (e.g.. a contact card) that corresponds to G. Rasputin’’ is «overlaid on window 558 in response to detecting the one-finger deep press gesture at the location corresponding to the data detected link 576 in Figure 5FF, [00194] Figure 5HH illustrates a contact 580 detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 and a displayed representation of a focus selector (e.g., the cursor 502) corresponding to contact 580 at a location on the display 450 that corresponds to data detected link 582 (e.g., the phone number “H .xxx.xxx.xxxx’’) within the window 558. In this example, the intensity of the contact 580 is above IT'd (e.g., the deep press intensity level;. In Figure 511, a second additional user interface element 584 (e.g., a. menu) is displayed on display 450 in response to detecting the one-finger deep press gesture at the location corresponding to the data detected link 582 in Figure 5HH. The second additional user interface element 584. in Figure 511, includes options associated with the phone number, including: adding the phone number as a new contact, adding the phone number to an existing contact, or calling the phone number via one of multiple possible options (e.g,, VoIP, cellular service, FaceTime, etc,).

[901951 For convenience of explanation, the embodiments described with reference to

Figures 5JJ-5NN will he discussed with reference to a device with a touch-sensitive display system 112; however, analogous operations are, optionally, performed on a device with a. display 450 and a separate touch-sensitive surface 451.

[09196J Figures 5JJ-5NN show a sequence in which a one-finger deep press gesture is performed on a bookmark within a navigation bar. Figure 5 J J illustrates a window 586 for a web browser application displayed on touch screen 112. In Figure 5,14, the window 586 shows an Entertainment News’ section (e.g., corresponding to the URL www.all_world_news.com/ETnews) for a website (e.g., the ‘All World News’ website) along with bookmarks bar 587 and a navigation bar 589. Figure 5JJ also illustrates contact

588 detected on touch screen at a location that corresponds to a “Bookmark C” within the navigation bar 589. In this example, the intensity of the contact 588 is above ITd (e.g., the deep press intensity level).

[0Ö197] In Figure 5KK. a reduced menu 594 is displayed on the touch sereen 112 in response to detecting the one-finger deep press gesture in Figure 5.1 J. In this example, the reduced menu 594 is centered at the location where contact 588 was detected in Figure 5JJ. In Figure 5KK, the reduced menu 594 is associated with a plurality of selectable options associated with “Bookmark C,” including; a delete action, a new window action, a new tab action, and a copy action.

[00i98[ The left quadrant of the reduced menu 594, when activated (e.g-, with a. tap gesture at a location on the touch screen 112 that corresponds to the left quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the left quadrant), causes the '“’Bookmark C’’ to be deleted from the bookmarks bar 587 and also from the navigation bar 589. For example, the left quadrant is associated with hit region 596-d, and detection of a contact within hit region 59615 d causes the left quadrant to be selected and lift-off of a contact within hit region 596-d activates the deletion action associated with the left quadrant. The top quadrant of the reduced menu 594, when activated (e.g., with a tap gesture at a location on the touch screen i 12 that corresponds to the top quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the top quadrant), causes a web page associated with “Bookmark C to he displayed within a new window of the web browser application. In some embodiments, the web page in the new window is prefetehed. For example, the top quadrant is associated with hit region 596-a, and detection of a contact within hit region 596-a causes the top quadrant to be selected and liftoff of a contact within hit region 596-a activates the new window action associated with the top quadrant.

[00199] The right quadrant of the reduced menu 594, when activated (e.g., with a tap gesture at a location on the touch sereen 112 that corresponds to the right quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the right quadrant), causes the “web page associated with “Bookmark C’ to be opened in a new tab within window 586 of the weh browser application. For example, the right quadrant is associated with hit region 596-b, and detection of a contact within hit region 596-b causes the right quadrant to be selected and lift-off of a contact wit!tin hit region 596-b activates the new tab action associated with the right quadrant. The bottom quadrant of the reduced menu 594, when activated (e g.. with a tap gesture at a location on the touch sereen 112 that corresponds to the bottom quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the bottom quadrant), causes the UR L associated with “Bookmark C“ to be copied to the clipboard. For example, the bottom quadrant is associated with hit region 596-c, and detection of a contact within hit region 596-c causes the bottom quadrant io be selected and lift-off of a contact within hit region 596-c activates the copy action associated with the bottom quadrant. In Figure 5KK. the center of the reduced menu 594 is associated with a center ’‘dead-zone” 597 of the hit regions 596. For example, lift-off of a contact within the center “dead-zone” 597 causes dismissal of the reduced menu 594 while forgoing actions associated with the quadrants of the reduced menu 594, [00200] In Figure 5KK, a visual characteristic of the right quadrant of the reduced menu 594 is changed in response to detecting contact 590 at a first location 592-a within the hit region 596-h. Figure 5KK. also illustrates detection of a swipe gesture corresponding to the movement of contact 590 from the first location 592-a (e.g., corresponding to hit region 596-b) to a second location 592-b (e.g., corresponding to hit region 596-a) in the direction of the top quadrant, associated with the new window action. In this example, the intensity of the contact 590 is between ITl and ITo (e.g., the light press intensity level).

[60201 1 In Figure 5LL, a visual characteristic of the top quadrant of the reduced menu

594 is changed in response to detecting contact 590 at the second location 592-b within the hit region 596-a. Figure 5LL also illustrates detection of a swipe gesture corresponding to the movement of contact 590 from the second location 592-b (e.g., corresponding to hit region 596-a) to a third location 592-e (e.g., corresponding to hit region 596-d) in the direction of the left quadrant associated with the deletion action. In this example, the intensity of the contact 590 is between IT·. and ITd (e.g., the light press intensity level). In some embodiments., these responses also occur provided the intensity of the contact is above ITo. [00202] Figure 5MM shows an animation in which the left quadrant is torn away from the reduced menu 594 and a visual characteristic of the left quadrant of the reduced menu 594 is changed in response to detecting lift-off of contact 590 at the third location 592-e within the hit region 596-d. In Figure 5NN, “Bookmark C” is no longer displayed within the bookmark bar 587 and the navigation bar 589 in response ίο detecting lift-off of contact 590 at the third location 592-e within the hit region 596-d.

[00203] Figures 6A-6X illustrate exemplary user interfaces for displaying and using menus in accordance with some embodiments. The user interfaces in these figures are used to illustrate the processes described below, including the processes in Figures 7A-7F, 8A-8B, 9A-9C, 1ÖA-10D, and 16A-16B. At least some of Figures 6A-6X include intensity diagrams that show the current intensity of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface relative to a plurality of intensity thresholds including ITo, ITl, and ITd. In some embodiments, operations similar to those described below with reference to ITo are performed with reference to a different intensity threshold (e.g., 'TT·.’’), In some embodiments, operations similar to those described below with reference to ITl are performed witli reference to a different intensity threshold (e.g., “ITc·”).

|00204] For convenience of explanation, the embodiments described with reference to

Figures 6A-6X will be discussed with reference to a device with a display 450 and a separate touch-sensitive surface 451; however, analogous operations are, optionally, performed on a device with a touch-sensitive display system 112 in response to detecting the contacts described in Figures 6A-6X on the touch-sensitive display system 112 while displaying the user interfaces shown in Figures 6A-6X on the touch-sensitive display system 112; in such embodiments, the focus selector is, optionally; a respective contact, a representative point corresponding to a contact (e.g.. a centroid of a respective contact or a point associated with a respective contact), or a centroid of two or more contacts detected on the touch-sensitive display system 112, in place of cursor 602.

[00205] Figures 6A-6B show a sequence in which a three-finger light press gesture is performed on highlighted text within a web page. Figure 6A illustrates a window 604 for a web browser application displayed on display 450. In Figure 6A, the window 604 shows a home page (e.g., corresponding ίο the URL www.all_worldjiews.com/home) for a website (e.g,, the “All World News” website) where a portion of the text (e.g., '‘Ebola”) is highlighted. For example, the word '‘Ebola’’ was previously selected or highlighted via a click and drag gesture performed with the cursor 602 or the like by the user. Figure 6A further illustrates contacts 606, 607, and 608 detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 and a displayed representation of a focus selector (e.g,, a cursor 602) corresponding to contacts 606, 607, and 608 at a location on the display 450 that corresponds to the highlighted portion of text (e.g., “Ebola”} within the window' 604. in tins example, the combined intensity of the contacts 606, 607. and 60S is between ITl anal ITo (e.g.. the light press intensity level}. In this example, the combined intensity is: the average of the intensifies of contacts 606, 607, and 608: the sum of the intensities of contacts 606, 607, and 608; a total intensity detected by one or more intensity sensors associated wdth touch-sensitive surface 451; the maximum intensity among the intensity of contact 606, the intensity of contact 607. and the intensity of contact 608; or the like.

[Ö6228J Figures 7A-7F illustrate a now diagram of a method 700 of displaying and using menus in accordance with some embodiments. The method 700 is performed at an electronic device (e.g., device 300, Figure 3, or portable multifunction device 100. Figure I A) with a display, a touch-sensitive surface, and one or more sensors to detect intensity of contacts with the touch-sensitive surface. In some embodiments, the display is a touch-screen display and the touch-sensitive surface is on or integrated with, the display. In some embodiments, the display is separate from the touch-sensitive surface. Some operations in method 700 are, optionally, combined and/or the order of some operations is, optionally, changed.

As described below, the method 700 provides an intuitive way to display and use menus. The method reduces the number, extent, and/or nature of the inputs from a user when displaying and using menus, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface For battery-operated electronic devices, enabling a user to display and use menus faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges. [00230] The device displays (702), on the display, a user interface that includes one or more user interface elements. For example. the one or more user interface elements are electronic documents, URLs, media items, content items, affordances, text, and/or the like. In a first example, Figure 5A shows a window 504 for a web browser application displayed on display 450. In Figure 5A, the window 504 shows a home page (e.g., corresponding to the URL www.ah world news.com/home) for a website (e.g., the “All World News'¹ website) where a portion of the text (e.g., '“Ebola”) is highlighted. In another example, Figure 51. shows the window 534 for the “Entertainment News” section (e.g,, corresponding to the URL www.al l_ world_news.corn/ETnews) of the website (e.g., the “All World News” 'website) displayed on display 450 along with the bookmarks bar 532. In yet another example, Figure 5U shows a window 558 for an email application displayed on display 450. In Figure 5U, the window 558 displays a list of a plurality of emails (e.g., emails A - 1) in a user's inbox and the contents of selected ‘‘Email A.” In Figure 5U, a portion of the text (e.g.., “New Years”) of “Email A” is highlighted.

The device detects (704) a user input on the touch-sensitive surface at a location that corresponds to a respective user interface element of the one or more user interface elements. For example, the user input is a gesture, such as a swipe or tap gesture, with one or more finger contacts.

[(10232) Irs response to detecting (706) the user input, and in accordance with a determination that the user input satisfies one or more first input criteria that correspond to a first input type (e.g., a two-finger tap gesture associated with a right-click operation or a three linger tap/click gesture), the device displays {708) a second menu (e.g., an expanded menu) overlaid on the user interface with one c»r more selectable options that correspond to the respective user interlace element without displaying a first menu (e.g., a reduced menu) that is distinct from the second menu. When one of the options is selected, a corresponding action Is initiated with respect to the respective user interlace element, such as delete, share, copy.

save, bookmark, and the like, )00233) in one example. Figures 5C-5D show a sequence in which an expanded menu corresponding to highlighted text within a web page is displayed in response to detecting a two-finger light press gesture that is performed on highlighted text within a web page. Figure 5C shows contacts 508 and 510 detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 and a displayed representation, of a focus selector (e.g., the cursor 502) eonvsponding to contacts 508 and 510 at a location on the display 450 that corresponds to the highlighted portion of text (e.g., “Ebola”) within the window 504. In this example, the combined intensity of the contacts 508 and 51(1 is between IT;, and ITd (e.g., the light press intensity level). In Figure 5D, an expanded menu 512 is displayed in response to detecting the two-finger light press gesture in

Figure 5C. in tins example, the expanded menu 512 includes a. plurality of selectable options associated with the highlighted portion of the text (e.g,, “Ebola”) of the web page, including: performing a lookup on the word “Ebola.” performing a web search on the word “Ebola’ with a search engine, copying the word “Ebola” (e.g., to the clipboard), performing speechrelated options associated with the word “Ebola,” and adding the word “Ebola” as spoken track.

in another example. Figures 6A-6B show a sequence tn winch an expanded menu corresponding, to highlighted text within a web page Is displayed in response to detecting a three-finger light press gesture. Figure 6A shows contacts 606, 6()7, and 608 detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 and a displayed representation of a focus selector (e.g., a cursor 602) corresponding to contacts 606. 607, and 608 at a location on the display

450 that corresponds to the highlighted portion of text (e.g., “Ebola”) within the window 604.

In this example, the combined intensity of the contacts 606, 607, and 608 is between ITl and

ITo (e.g.. the light press intensity level). In Figure 6B, an expanded menu 610 is displayed in response to detecting the three-finger light press gesture in Figure 6A. hi this example, the expanded menu 610 includes a plurality of selectable options associated wi th the highlighted portion of the text (e.g., “Ebola”) of the web page, including: performing a lookup on the word “Ebola,” performing a web search using the word “Ebola’ with a search engine, copying the word “Ebola” to the clipboard, performing speech-related options associated with the word “Ebola,” and adding the word ‘‘Ebola” as spoken track, )00235] In response to detecting (706) the user input, and in accordance with a determination that the user input satisfies one or more second input criteria that correspond to a second input type, distinct from the first input type, the device displays (710) the first menu overlaid on the user interface with one or more selectable options that correspond to the respective user interface element without displaying the second menu, where the first menu (e.g., the reduced menu) includes a subset of the one or more selectable options included in the second menu (e.g., the expanded menu). In some embodiments, the first menu is a radial menu or a list menu, in some embodiments, the first menu is centered about the user input or a centroid of two or more contacts associated with the user input. In some embodiments, the first menu includes only a. subset of the options in the second menu, In some embodiments, the first menu includes a subset of the options in tire second menu and other additional options not in the second menu. In some embodiments, the first menu includes less than ail of the options in the second menu. In some embodiments, the first menu is displayed alter the intensity threshold is reached, in some embodiments, the first menu is displayed after detecting liftoff of the one or more contacts corresponding to the user input.

Figures 5E-5F show a sequence in which a reduced menu corresponding to highlighted text within a web page is displayed in response to detecting a one-finger deep press gesture. Figure 5E shows contact 514 detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 and a displayed representation of a focus selector (e.g,, the cursor 502) corresponding to contact 514 at a location on the display 450 that corresponds to the highlighted portion of text (e.g., “Ebola”) within the window 504. In this example, the intensity of the contact 514 is above ITo (e.g., sometimes called a deep press intensity level). In Figure 5F, the cursor 502 ceases to be displayed and a reduced menu 516 is displayed on display 450 in response to detecting the one-finger deep press gesture in Figure 5E. In this example, the reduced menu 516 is centered at the location cursor 502 was displayed in Figure

5E when the intensity of the contact 514 exceeded ίΤ». in Figure 5F, the reduced menu 516 includes four distinct selectable quadrants oriented in the cardinal directions. The left quadrant of the reduced menu 516, when activated (e.g., with a tap gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to the left quadrant, or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the left quadrant), causes the word “Ebola’' to be copied to the clipboard. The right quadrant of the reduced menu 516, which is typically associated with a paste action, is inactive or disabled due to the lack of a currently copied item (e.g,, the clipboard is empty). The top and bottom quadrants of the reduced menu 516 are empty.

(00237] In another example. Figures 6C--6D show a sequence in which a reduced menu corresponding to highlighted text within a web page is displayed in response to detecting a two-finger light press gesture. Figure 6C snows contacts 611 and 612 detected on touchsensitive surface 451 and a displayed representation of a focus selector (e.g., the cursor 602) corresponding to contacts 611 and 612 at a location on the display 450 that corresponds to the highlighted portion of text (e.g., “Ebola’';· within the window 604. In this example, the combined intensity of the contacts 611 and 612 is between ITl and ITn (e.g., the light press intensity level), in Figure 6D, the cursor 602 ceases to be displayed and a reduced menu 614 is displayed on display 450 in response to detecting the two-finger light press gesture in Figure 6C. in this example, the reduced menu 614 is centered at. the location cursor 602 was displayed in Figure 6C when the combined intensity exceeded ITd. In Figure 6D, the reduced menu 614 includes four distinct selectable quadrants oriented in the cardinal directions. The left quadrant of the reduced menu 614, when activated (e.g,, with a tap gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to the left quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the left quadrant), causes the word “Ebola” to be copied to the . The right quadrant of the reduced menu 614, which is typically associated with a action, is inactive or disabled due to the lack of a currently copied item (e.g., the clipboard is empty ). The top and bottom quadrants of the reduced menu 614 are empty. Appendix A lists exemplary scenarios in which reduced menus are optionally displayed with up to 4 selectable quadrants (e.g.. Left, Up, Right, and Down in Appendix A) and/or an immediate action is taken (e.g., in response to detecting a deep press input) for: data detected links, a browser application 147 (e.g.. Safari from Apple Inc. of Cupertino. California), a calendar application 148 (e.g., Calendar from Apple Inc, of Cupertino, California), an email application 140 (e.g., Mail from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California), a notes application 153 (e.g., Notes from Apple inc. of Cupertino, California), an instant messaging application 141 (e.g., Messages from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California), a video conferencing application

L59 (e.g., FaceTime from Apple inc. of Cupertino·, California), a contact list application 137 (e.g.. Contacts from Apple Inc, of Cupertino, California), a file manager application (e.g.,

Finder from Apple Inc. of Cupertino. California), a PDF viewer application (e.g., Preview from Apple inc. of Cupertino, California), an image management application 144 (e.g., Photos from Apple inc. of Cupertino, California), a reminders application (e.g,. Reminders from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California), a map application 154 (e.g., Maps from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California), and a photo application (e.g., Photo Booth from Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California).

[00238] In some embodiments, the reduced menu includes a subset of the selectable options included in the expanded menu. For example, the reduced menu 516, in Figure 5F, includes a subset of the selectable options included in the expanded menu 512 in Figure 51). In another example, the reduced menu 614, In Figure 6D, includes a subset of the selectable options included in the expanded menu 610 in Figure 6B. In other embodiments, the reduced menu includes a set of selectable options that are distinct from the set of selectable options in tne expanded menu.

[00239] in some embodiments, in response to detecting (706) the user input, and in accordance with a determination that the user input satisfies one or more third input criteria that correspond to a third input type, distinct from the first input type and the second input.

type, the device initiates (712) performance of an aetion associated with the respective user interface element without displaying the first menu and without displaying the second menu. For example, the respective user interface element is highlighted, selected, or the like.

[00240] In a first example. Figures 5A-5B show a sequence in which highlighted text within a web page is un-highlighted in response to detecting a one-finger light press gesture,

Figure 5A shows a contact 506 detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 and a displayed representation of a focus selector (e.g., cursor 502) corresponding to contact 506 at a location on the display 45(s that corresponds to the highlighted portion of text ie.g., “Ebola’’) within the window 504, In this example, the intensity of the contact 506 is between ITl and IT'd (e.g., the light press intensity level). In Figure SB, the portion of the text (e.g,, “Ebola”) of the home page is no longer highlighted in response to detecting the one-finger light press gesture in Figure 5A.

[00241 ] In another example. Figures 6M-6N show a sequence in which a link within a first web page is resolved to open a second web page in response to detecting a one-finger light press gesture. Figure 6M shows a contact 636 detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 and a displayed representation of a focus selector (e.g., the cursor 602) corresponding to contact 636 at a location on the display 450 that corresponds to a link (e.g., associated with an 'Entertainment News” section of the website) within the window 604. In this example, the intensity of the contact 636 is between fïï anti ΓΤο (e.g., the light press intensity level). In

Figure 6N, a window 638 tor a web browser application is displayed on display 450 in response to detecting the one- finger light press gesture in Figure 6M. In Figure 6N, the window 638 shows an “Entertainment News’ section (e.g,, corresponding to the URL www.ali_worid_news.com/EInews} for the website (e.g., the All World News’ website). [00242] In some embodiments, the one or more first input criteria are satisfied (714) when the user input includes a first number of contacts (e.g,, a two finger tap/click gesture), the one or more second input criteria are satisfied when the user input is a press input with a second number of contacts distinct from the first number of contacts, where at least one of the second number of contacts has an intensity (e.g., a characteristic intensity) above a first intensity threshold (e.g., a one finger deep press gesture), and the one or more third input criteria are satisfied when the user Input is a press input with the second number of contacts, where at least one of the second number of contacts has art intensity above a second intensity threshold and below the first intensity threshold (e.g., a one finger light press gesture).

IÖ0243] in Figures 5 A-511, a two-finger gesture at a location on touch-sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to a user interface element causes display of an expanded menu with selectable options that correspond to the user Interface element. For example, Figures 5C-5D show a. sequence in which a two-finger light press gesture at a location corresponding to highlighted text withm a web page causes display of expanded menu 512 with selectable options corresponding to the highlighted text.

[0(1244] in Figures 5Α-5ΪΪ, a one-finger deep press gesture at a location on touch25 sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to a user interface element causes display of a reduced menu with selectable options that correspond to the user interface element. In one example, Figures 5L-5M show a sequence in which a one-finger deep press gesture at a location corresponding to Bookmark F’ within bookmark bar 532 causes display of reduced menu 538 with selectable options corresponding to Bookmark F.” in another example, Figures 5P30 5Q show a sequence In which a one-finger deep press gesture at. a location corresponding to “Bookmark C' within navigation bar 539 causes display of reduced menu 548 with selectable options corresponding to Bookmark C.” |0O245| in Figures 5A-511, a one-finger light press gesture at a location on touchsensitive surface 451 that corresoonds to a user interface element causes an action associated with the user interface element to occur. For example. Figures 5A-5B show a sequence in which a one-finger light press gesture at a location corresponding to highlighted text within a web page causes the text to be un-highiighted.

[00246] In some embodiments, the one or more first input criteria are satisfied (716) when the user input includes a first number of contacts (e.g., a three finger tap/eliek gesture), the one or more second input criteria are satisfied when the user input includes a second number of contacts distinct front the first number of contacts (e.g., a two finger tap/eliek gesture), and the one or more third input criteria are satisfied when the user input includes a third number of contacts distinct from the first number of contacts and the second number of contacts (e.g... a one finger tap/eliek gesture).

[00247] In Figures 6A-6X, a three-finger gesture at a location on touch-sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to a user interface element causes display of an expanded menu with selectable options that correspond to the user interface element. For example, Figures öi—óJ show a sequence in which a three-finger gesture at a location corresponding to a link within a web page causes display of expanded menu 628 with selectable options corresponding to the link.

1002481 in Figures 6A-6X, a two-finger deep press gesture at a location on touchsensitive surface -451 that corresponds to a user interface element causes display of a reduced menu with selectable options that correspond to the user interface element. For example,

Figures 6K-6L show a sequence in which a two-finger gesture at a location corresponding to a link within a web page causes display of reduced menu 632 with selectable options corresponding to the link.

[90249] in Figures 6A-6X, a one-finger light press gesture at a location, on touchsensitive surface 451 that corresponds to a user Interface element causes an action associated with the user interface element to occur. For example. Figures 6K--6L show a sequence in which a two-finger gesture at. a location corresponding to a link within a first web page (e.g., associated with the URL www.all_worldjtews.com/home) causes display of a second web page (e.g.. associated with the URL www.all..world_news.com/ETnews) corresponding to the link.

[00250] In some embodiments, a contact in the user input, corresponds to a cursor displayed on the display, and, In response to detecting, the user input, the device, in accordance with the determination that the user input corresponds to the second input type, eeases display of (718) the cursor on the display. In a first example, in Figure 5F, the cursor 502 ceases to be displayed and a reduced menu 516 is displayed on display 450 in response to detecting the one-finger deep press gesture in Figure 5E. In a second example, in Figure 6D, the cursor 602 ceases to he displayed and a reduced menu 614 is displayed en display 450 in response to detecting the two-finger light press gesture in Figure 6C.

[002511 In some embodiments, the first menu is (720) a radial menu with two or more distinct portions that is located on the display at a (relative or absolute) location that corresponds to a location of a contact in the user input on the touch sensitive surface, in some embodiments, the first menu is displayed on the display using an absolute positioning scheme, in which there is a one-to-one correspondence between a point on the touch-sensitive surface and the display. For example, the first menu is the reduced menu 516 in Figure 5F with, a radial menu form that includes four distinct selectable quadrants oriented in the cardinal directions. In some embodiments, the first menu is displayed on the display using a relative positioning scheme. In some embodiments, the first menu is a list menu, a grid menu, a segmented control, or the

In some embodiments, the radial menu includes (722) two halves each comprising a distinct, unitary (e.g., contiguous and non-segmented) region forming half of the radial menu.

[9025.31 In some embodiments, the radial menu includes (724) four quadrants each comprising a distinct, unitary (e.g., contiguous and non-segmented) region forming a quarter of the radial menu. For example, the reduced menu 516 in Figure 5F is a radial menu with four distinct selectable quadrants, including the empty top and bottom quadrants, the left quadrant corresponding to a copy operation, and the right quadrant corresponding to a disabled paste operation, [99254[ In some embodiments, the four quadrants are oriented (726) within the first menu in the cardinal directions. In some embodiments, the four quadrants correspond to north, south, east, and west within the radial menu: in other words, up, down, right, and left within the radial menu. For example, the reduced menu 516 in Figure 5F includes four distinct selectable quadrants oriented in the cardinal directions (i.e., north, cast, south, and west or top, right, bottom, and left).

[00255] In some embodiments, one or more of the quadrants are (728) empty. For example, the reduced menu 516 in Figure 5F includes the empty top or bottom quadrants. As such, a selection gesture in the top and bottom quadrants of the reduced menu 516 will not cause an operation to occur.

[00256] In some embodiments, one or more of the quadrants is disabled (730) (i.e., not selectable or inactive). For example, the reduced menu 516 in Figure 5F includes the right quadrant corresponding to a disabled paste operation. As such, a selection gesture in the right quadrant of the reduced menu 516 will not cause the paste to occur. Nonetheless, the label for the paste operation is shown in the right quadrant of the reduced menu 516 to indicate that the paste operation will be active after something (e.g., text, an image, or the like) is copied to the clipboard.

J00257] In some embodiments, selectable options in the first menu that correspond to destructive actions are (732) visually distinguished from selectable options that correspond to nondestructive actions. For example, the label text and/or the background for quadrants associated with destructive actions (e.g., delete, cut, etc.) is a different color, font, or the like as compared to quadrants associated with non-destructive actions. For example, the left quadrant of the reduced menu 538 in Figure 5M is visually distinct from the other quadrants (e.g., the label text is italicized and underlined) to indicate that the deletion action associated with the left quadrant is a destructive one.

[002581 In some embodiments, after displaying the first menu overlaid on the user interface, the device (734): detects lift-off of a respective contact at a location on the touch sensitive surface that corresponds to a center of the radial mem; on the display; and, in response to detecting lift-off of the respective contact, ceases to display the radial menu overlaid on the user interface. For example, the user dismisses the first menu by selecting one of the quadrants and then moving, back to the center. In another example, the user dismisses the first menu by navigating to one of the quadrants (without selecting it) and then moving back to the center of the radial menu. In some embodiments, die respective contact is a continuous contact associated with the user input causing display of the first menu. In some embodiments, the respective contact is a separate, non-eontinuous contact after selecting an action or causing display of tire first menu, [00259] For example. Figures 5M-5P show a sequence in which a user navigates info a respective quadrant of a reduced menu, and, subsequently, the user navigates back into the center of the reduced menu to dismiss the reduced menu and to forgo performance of the action associated with the respective quadrant. In this example, each of the quadrants of reduced menu 538 is associated with a bit region 540 on the touch-sensitive surface 451 that is larger than its displayed area on the display 450, The top quadrant corresponding to the new window action is associated hit region 540-a. the right quadrant corresponding to the new tab operation is associated with hit region 540-b, the bottom quadrant corresponding to the copy operation Is associated 'with hit region 540-c, and the left quadrant corresponding to the delete operation is associated with hit region 540-d. For example, lift-off of a contact within a center “dead-zone” of the hit regions 540 (e.g., shown in Figures 5Q-5R as center '‘dead-zone’'' 556» causes dismissal of the reduced menu 538 while forgoing actions associated with the quadrants of the reduced menu 538.

[0026(1] Continuing with the example above, Figure 5M illustrates detection of a swipe gesture corresponding to the movement of contact 542 from a first location 544-a to a second location 544-b (e.g., corresponding to hit region 540-b) in the direction of the right quadrant associated with the new tab action of reduced menu 538, In Figure 5N. a visual characteristic of the right quadrant of the reduced menu 538 is changed in response to detecting the contact 542 within the hit region 540~b at the second location 544-b, Figure 5N illustrates detection of a swipe gesture corresponding to the movement of the contact 542 from the second location 544-b to a third location 544-e (e.g., corresponding to center of the reduced menu 538 and a center “dead-zone” of the hit regions 540). In Figure 50, the visual characteristic of the right, quadrant of the reduced menu 538 is no longer changed in response to detecting contact 542 at the third location 544-c (e.g., corresponding to center of the reduced menu 538 and a center “dead-zone” of the hit regions 540). in Figure 5P, the reduced menu 538 ceases to be displayed and the cursor 502 is re-displayed on the display 450 in response to detecting lift-off of contact 542 from the third location 544-c (e.g., corresponding to center of the reduced menu 538 and a center “dead-zone” of the hit regions 540).

[00261] In some embodiments, the device (736): detects a selection input that selects a respective portion (e.g., a. quadrant or hall) of the first menu; and, in response to detecting the selection input, initiates performance of an action that corresponds io the selected respective portion of the first menu, in some embodiments, the selection input corresponds to detecting lift-off within the respective portion of the first menu or within a hit region that corresponds to the respective portion of the first menu. In some embodiments, the selection input corresponds to a swipe gesture in the direction of the respective portion of the first menu. In some embodiments, prior to selecting the respective portion, the user navigates to the respective portion of the first menu and the portion of the first menu is visibly changed to show that it will he selected. For example, a quadrant in the first menu is highlighted, the quadrant flashes or blinks, a tooltip (e.g., the name of the action) associated with the action corresponding to the quadrant is overlaid on, or adjacent to, the quadrant, a color of the quadrant is changed, a border of the quadrant is thickened, or the like.

[00262] For example, Figures 5Q-5T show a sequence in which a user navigates to various quadrants of a reduced menu and causes a deletion action to be performed on a bookmark. In Figure 5Q, a visual characteristic of the right quadrant of reduced menu 548 is

ΊΊ changed in response to delecting contact 550 at a first location 552-a within the hit region

554-h. Figure 5Q also illustrates detection of a swipe gesture corresponding to the movement of contact 550 from the first location 544-a (e.g., corresponding io hit region 554-b) to a second location 552-b (e.g., corresponding to hit region 554-a) in the direction of the top quadrant associated with the new window action. In Figure 5R, a visual characteristic of the top quadrant of the reduced menu 5-48 is changed in response to detecting contact 550 at. the second location 552-b within the hit region 554-a. Figure 5R also illustrates detection of a swipe gesture corresponding to the movement of contact 550 from the second location 552-b (e.g., corresponding to hit region 554-a) to a third location 552-c (e.g., corresponding to hit region 554-d) in the direction of the left quadrant associated with the deletion action. Figure 5S shows an animation m which the left quadrant is torn away front the reduced menu 548 and a visual characteristic of the left quadrant of the reduced menu 548 is changed in response to detecting lift-off of contact. 550 at. the third location 552-c within the hit region 554-d. in Figure 5T, “Bookmark C” is no longer displayed within the bookmark bar 532 and the navigation bar 539 in response to detecting lift-off of contact 550 at the third location 552-c within the hit region 554-d.

|'00263] In some embodiments, the user input is continuously detected (738), and the user input includes the selection input. For example, the user input, is a continuous gesture with a press input portion to display the first menu and a selection gesture portion, such as a swipe, to select an option within the first menu. For example, a reduced menu is displayed in response to detecting that the intensity of the contact is above ITn, and the contact continues to be detected on a touch-sensitive surface. Continuing with this example, the user navigates into, or performs a swipe gesture, into one of the portions of the reduced menu (or a corresponding hit region) without lifting the contact and subsequently lifts-off the contact. In this example, the continuously detected contact is used both to display the reduced menu and to select a portion of the reduced menu.

[00264] In some embodiments, the user input is {740) a first user input, and the selection input is a second user input, distinct from the first user input. For example, a firstgesture with a press input causes display of the first menu and a second selection gesture, such as a tap on an option in the first menu, causes selection of an option within the first menu. For example. Figures 5P-5T show a sequence in which a reduced menu is displayed in response to a first gesture satisfying predetermined criteria and, subsequently, a quadrant of the reduced menu is selected with a second gesture distinct from the first gesture. Figure 5P illustrates contact 546 detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 and a displayed representation of a focus selector (e.g,, the cursor 502) corresponding to contact 546 at a location on the display 450 that corresponds to ’‘Bookmark C’’ within the navigation bar 539. in this example, the intensity ofthe contact 5-46 is above ITo (e.g., the deep press intensity level). In

Figure 5Q, the cursor 502 ceases to be displayed and a reduced menu 548 is displayed on the display 450 in response to detecting the one-finger deep press gesture in Figure 5P.

Continuing with the example above, in Figure 5Q. a visual characteristic ofthe ι?ή<

right quadrant of the reduced menu 548 is changed in response to detecting contact 550 at a first location 552-a within the hit region 554-b. Figure 5Q also illustrates detection of a swipe gesture corresponding to the movement of contact 550 from the first location 544-a (e.g., corresponding to hit region 554-b) to a second location 552-b (e.g,, corresponding to hit region 554-a) in tlte direction of the top quadrant associated with the new window action. In Figure 5R, a visual characteristic ofthe top quadrant of die reduced menu 548 is changed in response to detecting contact 550 at the second location 552-b within the hit region 554-a. Figure 5R also illustrates detection of a swipe gesture corresponding to the movement of contact 550 from the second location 552-b (e.g., corresponding to bit region 554-a) to a third location 552-c (e.g., corresponding to hit region 554-d) in the direction of the left quadrant associated with the deletion action. Figure 58 shows an animation in which the let! quadrant is tom away from the reduced menu 548 and a visual characteristic ofthe left quadrant of the reduced menu 548 is changed in response to detecting lift-off of contact 550 at the third location 552-c within the hit region 554-d. In Figure 51', “Bookmark C” is no longer displayed within the bookmark bar 532 and the navigation bar 539 tn response to detecting lift-off of contact 550 at the third location 552-c within the hit region 554-d.

[002661 In some embodiments, detecting the selection input includes (742) detecting a swipe gesture in a direction ofthe respective portion ofthe first menu. For example, the selection input is a quick swipe gesture in a direction (e.g., a gross up, down, right, or left swipe) that corresponds to the respective portion of the first menu that causes the respective portion to be selected andmr an action associated with the respective portion io be performed. For example, Figures 5BB-5FF show a sequence in which a swipe gesture causes a respective quadrant, of a reduced menu to be selected and an action corresponding to the respective quadrant to be performed. Figure 5BB illustrates detection of a swine gesture corresponding to the movement of contact 565 from the first location 566-a to a second location 566-b in the direction ofthe bottom quadrant of reduced menu 568 associated with the preview action. In Figure 5CC, the contact 565 is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 at the second location 566-b and a visual characteristic of die bottom quadrant ofthe reduced menu 568 is changed in response to detecting contact 565 at the second location 566-b within a hit region corresponding to the bottom quadrant. Figure 5DD shows an animation in which the bottom quadrant is tom away from the reduced menu 568 to indicate that it was selected in response to detecting lift-off of contact 565 at the second location 566-b within a hit region corresponding to the bottom quadrant of the reduced menu 568. In Figure 5EE, a red uced menu 570 is concurrently displayed along with preview window 572 on display 450 in response to detecting lift-off of contact 565 at the second location 566-b within a hit region corresponding to the bottom quadrant of the reduced menu 568 in Figures 5CC-5DD. The preview window 572 displays at least a portion of the web page that corresponds to the link (e.g., www.hotels.com/abc).

100267] In some embodiments, detecting the selection input includes (744) detecting lift-off of a respective contact in the respective portion of the first menu. For example, lift-off of the respective contact on the touch-sensitive surface at a location that corresponds to the respective portion of the first menu causes the action associated with the respective portion to be performed. For example, Figures 5R-5T show a sequence in which lift-off of a contact within a respective quadrant {or its corresponding hit region) causes the action associated with the respective quadrant to be selected and also causes an action corresponding to the respective quadrant to be performed. Figure 5R illustrates detection of a swipe gesture corresponding to the mo vement of contact 550 from the second location 552-b (e.g., corresponding to hit region 554-a) to a third location 552-c (e.g., corresponding to hit region 554-d.i m the direction of the left quadrant associated with the deletion action. Figure 5S shows an animation in which the left quadrant is tom away from the reduced menu 548 and a visual character! stie of the left quadrant, of the reduced menu 548 is changed in response to detecting lift-off of contact 550 at the third location 552-c within the hit region 554-d. In

Figure 5T, “Bookmark C” is no longer displayed within the bookmark bar 532 and the navigation bar 539 in response to detecting lift-off of contact 550 at the third location 552-c within the hit region 554-d.

[00268] In some embodiments, in response to detecting the selection input, the device changes (746) one or more display characteristics of the respective portion of the fi rst menu (e.g., changing a respective quadrant's color, enlarging the quadrant, ftashing/blinking, or the like, prior to or concurrent with performing the action that corresponds to the respective portion of the first menu). For example, Figures 5Q-5R show a sequence in which detection of a contact within a respective quadrant (or its corresponding hit region) causes the respective quadrant of a reduced menu to be selected and a display characteristic of the respective quadrant is changed. Figure 5Q illustrates detection of a swipe gesture corresponding ίο the movement of contact 550 from the first location 544-a (e.g,, corresponding to hit region 554-b) to a second location 552~b (e.g,, corresponding to hit region 554-a) in the direction of the top quadrant associated with the new window action of reduced menu 548. In Figure 5R, a visual characteristic of the top quadrant of the reduced menu 548 is changed in response to detecting contact 550 at the second location 552-b within the hit region 554-a.

[00269 j In some embodiments, in response to detecting the selection input, in accordance with a determination that the selection input satisfies one or more predefined animation criteria (e.g., swipe gesture with X velocity or within Y time), the device displays (748) an animation of the respective portion of the first menu separating from a remainder of the first menu. For example, a quadrant separates from the radial menu and subsequently returns to (e.g., snaps back into) the radial menu and blinks/flashes, in some embodiments, the animation occurs just prior to performing the action that corresponds to the respective portion of the first menu. For example, Figures 5CC-5DD show a sequence in which a separation or tear-off animation of a respective quadrant of a reduced menu is performed in response to selection of the respective quadrant. In Figure 5CC. the contact 565 is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 at the second location 566-b and a visual characteristic of the bottom quadrant of reduced menu 568 is changed in response to detecting contact 565 at the second location 566-h within a hit region corresponding to the bottom quadrant. Figure 5DD shows an animation in which die bottom quadrant is torn away from the reduced menu 568 to indicate that it was selected in response to detecting lift-off of contact 565 at the second location 566-b within a hit region corresponding to the bottom quadrant of the reduced menu 568. Alternatively, in some embodiments, a different animation, such as a blinking or fadeout animation, is displayed in accordance with a determination that the selection input satisfies the one or more predefined animation criteria, [092701 In some embodiments, in response to detecting the selection input, in accordance with a determination that the selection input does not satisfy the one or more predefined animation criteria (e.g., swipe gesture with X velocity or within Y time), the device initiates (750) performance of an action that corresponds to the selected respective portion of the first menu without displaying an animation of the respective portion of the first menu separating from a remainder of the first menu. For example, Figures 511-5.1 show a sequence in which a respective quadrant of a reduced menu is selected and the action associated with the respective quadrant (e.g.. displaying a share menu) is performed without displaying an animation. Figure 5FI illustrates detection of a swipe gesture corresponding to the movement of contact 524 from a first location 526-a to a second location 526-b in the direction of the top quadrant associated with the share action, in Figure 51, a visual characteristic of the top quadrant of the reduced menu 520 is changed in response to detecting the swipe gesture in the direction of the top quadrant in Figure 5H. In Figure 5J, a reduced menu 528 is displayed on the display 450 in response to detecting the swipe gesture in Figure 5H and lift-off of contact 524 within the top quadrant or its corresponding hit region, fn some embodiments, reduced menu 528 is displayed concurrently with preview window 522.

[0Ö271 j In some embodiments, initiating performance of the action that corresponds to the selected respective portion of the first menu includes (752): displaying another menu, distinct from the first menu, with one or more options tor the action that corresponds to the selected respective portion of the first menu (e.g., the subsequent menu is a second radial menu or a list menu). For example, the option associated with a respective quadrant in the first menu corresponds to a sharing action and the subsequent menu includes options for sharing te.g,, via one or more social networks, 8MS, email, etc.;·. For example, Figures 5H-5J show a seouenee in which a second reduced menu is displayed in response to selecting a respective quadrant of a first reduced menu. In Figure 5H, reduced menu 520 is displayed on the display 450. In this example, the reduced menu 520 is associated with a plurality of selectable options that correspond to the link (e.g., to the “Entertainment News” section of the website) within the window 504, including: a new window action, a share action, a new tab action, and an add to reading list action. Figure 5H also illustrates detection of a swipe gesture corresponding to the movement of contact 524 from a first location 526-a to a second location 526-b in the direction of the top quadrant associated with the share action. In Figure 51, a visual characteristic of the top quadrant of the reduced menu 520 is changed in response to detecting the sw'ipe gesture in. the direction of the top quadrant in Figure 51!. In Figure 5J, a reduced menu 528 is displayed on the display 450 in response to detecting the swipe gesture in Figure 511 and lift-off of contact 524 within the top quadrant or its corresponding hit region. In Figure 5J, the reduced menu 528 is associated with a plurality of selectable options associated with the share action including: an email option, an SMS (short message service) option. Social Network A option, and Social Network B option.

[Ö9272] In some embodiments, the selected respective portion oft.be first menu corresponds (754) to a preview option, and initiating performance of the action that corresponds to the preview option includes: maintaining display of the first menu; and concurrently displaying a preview area that corresponds to the respective user interface element. In some embodiments, the preview area is concurrently displayed with the first menu in response to detecting selection of the preview option of the first menu. For example,

Figures 5BB-5EE show a sequence in which a preview area is concurrently displayed with a reduced menu in response to selecting a preview option of a reduced menu. Figure 5BB illustrates detection of a swipe gesture corresponding to the movement of contact 565 from the first location 566-a to a second location 566-b in the direction of the bottom quadrant of the reduced menu 568 associated with the preview action. In Figure 5CC, the contact 565 is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 at the second location 566-b and a visual characteristic of the bottom quadrant of the reduced menu 568 is changed in response to detecting contact 565 at the second location 566-b within a hit region corresponding to the bottom quadrant. Figure 5DD shows an animation in which the bottom quadrant is tom away from the reduced menu 568 to indicate that it was selected in response to detecting lift-off of contact 565 at the second location 566-b within a hit region corresponding to the bottom quadrant of the reduced menu 568. in Figure 5EE, a reduced menu 570 is concurrently displayed along with preview window 572 on display 450 in response ίο detecting lift-off of contact 565 at the second location 566-b within a hit region corresponding to the bottom quadrant of the reduced menu 568 in Figures 5CC-5DD. The reduced menu 570 is associated with a plurality of selectable options that correspond to the link (e. g., www.hotels.com/abc), including; a new window action, a share action, a new tab action, and an add to reading list action. In some embodiments, the preview window 572 displays at least a portion of the web page that corresponds to the link (e.g., www.hotels.coin/ahc). In some embodiments, the preview window 572 displays a cleaned up representation of the web page that corresponds to the link, such as the representation seen in the Reader Mode in the Safari browser from Apple inc. of Cupertino, California, [00273] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the preview area is automatically displayed concurrently with the first menu when the press input is detected at a location, for example, corresponding to a hyperlink. For example. Figures 5G-5H show; a sequence in which a reduced menu is concurrently displayed along with a preview window in response to a contact meeting predefined criteria. Figure 5G illustrates contact 518 detected on touch30 sensitive surface 451 and a displayed representation of a focus selector (e.g., the cursor 502} corresponding to contact 518 at a location on the display 450 that corresponds to a link (e.g., to an ‘’Entertainment News” section of the website) within the windo w 504. In tins example, the intensity of the contact 518 is above IT'o (e-g-, sometimes called a deep press intensity level), in Figure 511, the cursor 502 ceases to be displayed and a reduced menu 520 is concurrently displayed on the display 450 along with a preview window 522. in response to detecting the one-finger· deep press gesture in Figure 5G. The preview window 522 displays at least a portion of the web page that corresponds to an “Entertainment News” section of the website.

ft}0274[ In some embodiments, while displaying the preview area, the device (756): detects a subsequent selection input that selects a different portion of the first menu than the respective portion of the first menu; and, in response to detecting the subsequent selection input, initiates performance of a second action that corresponds to the selected different portion of the first menu. For example, as shown in Figures 5H-5J, the device maintains display of the preview window 522 as the user selects the top quadrant of the reduced menu 520 and a subsequent reduced menu 528 is shown in response to selection of the top quadrant,

100275] In some embodiments, the user interface is a first user interface associated with a first application executed by the electronic device, and the one or more selectable options that correspond to die respective user interface element include a first selectable option displayed at a first location within the first menu. While displaying a second user interface on the display for a second application, distinct from the first application, the second user interface including a second set of one or more user interface elements, the device: detects a second user input on the touch-sensitive surface at a location that corresponds to a second user interface element in die second set of one or more user interface elements; and, in response to detecting the second user input: in accordance with a determination that the second user input corresponds to the first input type (e.g,, a two-finger tap gesture associated with a right-click operation), displays a fourth menu (e.g., an expanded menu) overlaid on the second user interface with one or more selectable options that correspond to the second user interface element without displaying a third menu (e.g., a reduced menu) that is distinct from the fourth menu; and, in accordance with a determination that the second user input corresponds to the second input type, distinct from the first input type, displaying the third menu overlaid on the second user interface with one or more selectable options that correspond to the second user interface element without displaying the fourth menu, where the one or more selectable options that correspond to the second user interface element include a same option as the first selectable option in the first menu displayed at a same location in the third menu as the first location in the first menu. In some embodiments, just as the delete option is displayed in the left quadrant of the first menu of the first application, the delete option is displayed in the left quadrant of (he second menu in the second application, along with one or more other options associated with the second user interlace element displayed in the remainder of the second menu. In some embodiments, the same option in the third menu overlaid on the second user interface is disabled (i.e., not selectable or inactive).

100276) For example, Figures 5E-5F show a sequence in which a reduced menu is displayed in response to detecting a one-finger deep press gesture at a location corresponding to highlighted text within a web browser window, in Figure 5F„ reduced menu 516 is displayed on display 450 in response to detecting the one-finger deep press gesture in Figure 5E. in Figure 5F, the reduced menu 516 includes selectable options associated with the highlighted text (e,g„ “Ebola) within the window 504. The left quadrant of the reduced menu

516, when activated (e.g., with a tap gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to the left quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the left quadrant), causes the word “Ebola” to be copied io the clipboard. The right quadrant of the reduced menu 516, which is typically associated with a paste action, is inactive or disabled due to the lack of a currently copied item (e.g,, the clipboard is empty). The top and bottom quadrants of the reduced menu 516 are empty.

)00277) In another example, Figures 5V-5Y show a sequence—similar to the one described above with reference to Figures 5E-5F.......in which a reduced menu is displayed in response to detecting a one-finger deep press gesture at a location corresponding to highlighted text within an email application window, in Figure 5Y. a final representation of the reduced menu 562 is displayed on display 450 in response ίο detecting that the intensity of the contact 560 is above ITd ie.g., the deep press intensity level), In Figure 5Y, the final representation of the reduced menu 562 includes selectable options associated with the highlighted text (e.g., “New Years) within the window 558. The left quadrant, when activated (e.g., with a tan gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to the left quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the left quadrant .;, causes the words “New Years” to be copied to the clipboard. The right quadrant, which is typically associated with a paste action, is inactive or disabled due to the lack of a currently copied item (e.g,, the clipboard is empty). The top and bottom quadrants of the reduced menu 562 are empty.

)60278) It should be understood that the particular order in which the operations in

Figures 7A-7F have been described is merely exemplary and is not intended to indicate that the described order is the only order in which the operations could be performed. One of ordinary skill in the art would recognize various ways to reorder the operations described herein. Additionally, it should be noted that details of other processes described herein with respect to other methods described herein (e.g.. methods 800, 900, 1000, and 1600) are also applicable in an analogous manner to method 700 described above with respect to Figures

7A-7F. For example, the contacts, gestures, user interface objects, tactile outputs, intensity thresholds, focus selectors, and animations described above with reference to method 700 optionally have one or more of the characteristics of the contacts, gestures, user interface objects, tactile outputs, intensity thresholds, focus selectors, and animations described herein with reference to other methods described herein (e.g., methods 800, 900, 1000, and 1600). For brevity, these details are not repeated here.

|00279j Figures 8A-8B illustrate a flow diagram of a method 800 of displaying and using menus in accordance with some embodiments. The method 800 is performed at an electronic device (e.g., device 300, Figure 3, or portable multifunction device 100, Figure 1 A) with a display, a much-sensitive surface, and one or more sensors to detect intensity of contacts with the touch-sensitive surface. In some embodiments, display is a touch-screen display and the touch-sensitive surface is on or integrated with the display, in some embodiments, the display is separate from the touch-sensitive surface. Some operations in method 800 are, optionally, combined and/or the order of some operations is, optionally, changed.

[00280] As described below, the method 800 provides an intuitive way to display and use menus. The method reduces the number, extent, and/or nature of the inputs from a user when displaying and using menus, thereby creating a. more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated electronic devices, enabling a user to display and use menus faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges. [00281 ] The device displays (802), on the display: a user interface that includes one or more user interface elements, and a cursor. For example, the one or more user interface elements are electronic documents, URLs, media Items, content items, affordances, text, and/or the like. In a first example. Figure 5A shows a window 504 for a web browser application displayed on display 450. In Figure 5A„ the window 504 shows a home page (e.g., corresponding io the URL www.all world news.corn/home) for a website (e.g,, the “Ail World News” website) where a portion of the text (e.g.. “Ebola’) is highlighted and a cursor

502 is displayed over the highlighted text, in another example. Figure 5L shows the window

534 for the “Entertainment News” section (e.g., corresponding to the URL www.all ..world news.com/ETnew's) of the website (e.g., the “All World News” website) displayed on display 450 along with the bookmarks bar 532. In Figure 5L, the cursor 502 is displayed over “Bookmark F” within the bookmarks bar 532. in yet another example. Figure

5U shows a window 558 for an email application displayed on display 450. In Figure 5LI, the window 558 displays a list of a plurality of emails ie.g., emails A - I) in a user's inbox and the contents of selected “Email A.” In figure 5Ό, a portion of the text (e.g., “New Years”) of “Email A” is highlighted and the cursor 502 is displayed over the highlighted text.

[00282( The device detects (804) a user input on the touch-sensitive surface while the cursor is displayed on the display at a location over a respective user interlace element of the one or more user interface elements. For example, the user input is a gesture, such as a swipe or tap gesture, with one or more finger contacts.

[00283] in response to detecting (806) the user input, and in accordance with a determination that, the user input satisfies one or more first input criteria that correspond to a first input type (e.g., a one-finger deep press gesture or a two finger tap/eiick gesture), the device (808): displays a first menu overlaid on the user interface with one or more selectable options that correspond to the respective interface element; and ceases to display the cursor on the display. In one example. Figures 5E-5F show a sequence in which a reduced menu corresponding to highlighted text within a web page is displayed and a cursor ceases to be displayed m response to detecting a one-finger deep press gesture. Figure 5E shows contact 514 detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 and a displayed representation of a focus selector (e.g., the cursor 502) corresponding to contact 514 at a location on the display 450 that corresponds to the highlighted portion of text (e.g.. “Ebola’) within the window 504, In this example, the intensity of the contact 514 is above ITd (e.g.. sometimes called a deep press intensity level?, in Figure 5F, the cursor 502 ceases to be displayed and a reduced menu 516 is displayed on display 450 in response to detecting the one-finger deep press gesture in Figure 5E. in this example, the reduced menu 516 is centered at the location cursor 502 was displayed in Figure 5E when the intensity of the contact 514 exceeded ITd. in Figure 5F, the reduced menu 516 includes four distinct selectable quadrants oriented in the cardinal directions. The left quadrant of the reduced menu 516, when activated ie.g., with a tap gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to the left quadrant or a gross s wipe gesture in the direction of the left quadrant ), causes the word “Ebola” to be copied to the clipboard. The right quadrant of the reduced menu 516, which is typically associated with a paste action, is inactive or disabled due to the lack of a currently copied item (e.g., the clipboard is empty). The top and. bottom quadrants of fhe reduced menu 516 are empty, [00284] In another example, Figures 6C-6D show a sequence in which a reduced menu corresponding to highlighted text within a web page is displayed and a cursor ceases to be displayed in response to detecting a two-finger light press gesture. Figure 6C shows contacts

611 and 612 detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 and a displayed representation of a focus selector (e.g., the cursor 602) corresponding to contacts 611 and 612 at a location on the display 450 that corresponds to the highlighted portion of text (e.g., “Ebola”) within the window 604, In this example, the combined intensity of the contacts 611 and 612 is between ITl and ITd (e.g., the light press intensity level). In Figure 6D, the cursor 602 ceases to he displayed and a reduced menu 614 is displayed on display 450 in response to detecting the two-finger light press gesture in Figure 6(1. in this example, the reduced menu 614 is centered at the location cursor 602 was displayed in Figure 6C when the combined intensity exceeded ITd, In Figure 61), the reduced menu 614 includes four distinct selectable quadrants oriented in the cardinal directions. The left quadrant of the reduced menu 614, when activated (e.g., with a tap gesture at a location on the touch-sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to the lelt quadrant or a gross swipe gesture in the direction of the left quadrant), causes the word “Ebola” to be copied to the clipboard. The right quadrant of the reduced menu 614, which is typically associated with a paste action, is inactive or disabled due to the lack of a currently copied item (e.g., the clipboard is empty;·. The top and bottom quadrants of the reduced menu 614 are empty.

(00285j In some embodiments, the first menu is (810) a radial menu with two or more distinct portions that is located on the display at a (relative or absolute) location that corresponds to a location of a contact in the user input on the touch sensitive surface, in some embodiments, the first menu is displayed on the display using an absolute positioning scheme, in which there is a one-to-one correspondence between a point on the touch-sensitive surface and the display. For example, the first menu is the reduced menu 516 in Figure 5F with a radial menu form that includes four distinct selectable quadrants oriented in the cardinal directions. In some embodiments, the first menu is displayed on the display using a relative positioning scheme. In some embodiments, the first menu is a list menu, a grid menu, a segmented control, or the like.

[00286] In some embodiments, the radial menu includes (812) two halves each comprising a distinct, unitary (e.g., contiguous and non-segmented) region forming half of the radial menu.

[00287] In some embodiments, the radial menu includes (814) four quadrants each comprising a distinct, unitary (e.g,, contiguous and non-segmenled) region forming a quarter of die radial menu. For example, the reduced menu 516 in Figure 5F is a radial menu with four distinct selectable quadrants, including the empty top and bottom quadrants, the left quadrant corresponding to a copy operation, and the right quadrant corresponding to a disabled paste operation.

[00288] In some embodiments, the device detects (816) a selection input that selects a respective portion (e.g., a quadrant or hair) of the first menu; and, in response to detecting the selection input. Initiates performance of an action that corresponds to the selected respective portion of the first menu. In some embodiments, the selection input corresponds to detecting lift-off within the respective portion of the first menu or within a hit region that corresponds to the respective portion of the first menu. In some embodiments, the selection input corresponds to a swipe gesture in the direction of the respective portion of the first menu. In some embodiments, prior to selecting the respective portion, the user navigates to the respective portion of the first menu and the portion of the first menu is visibly changed to show that it wifi he selected. For example, a quadrant in the first menu is highlighted, the quadrant flashes or blinks, a tooltip (e.g., the name of the action) associated with the action corresponding to the quadrant is overlaid on, or adjacent t<», the quadrant, a color of the quadrant is changed, a border of the quadrant, is thickened, or the like.

(00289] For example, Figures 5Q-5T show a sequence in which a user navigates to various quadrants of a reduced menu and causes a deletion action to be performed on a bookmark. In Figure 5Q, a visual characteristic of the right quadrant of reduced menu 548 is changed in response to detecting contact 550 at a first location 552-a within the hit region

554-b. Figure 5Q also ilfustral.es detection of a swipe gesture corresponding to the movement of contact 550 from the first location 544-a (e.g., corresponding to hit region 554-b) to a second location 552-b (e.g., corresponding to hit region 554-a) in the direction of the top quadrant associated with the new window action. In Figure 5R. a visual characteristic of the top quadrant of the reduced menu 548 is changed in response to detecting contact 550 at the second location 552-b within the hit region 554-a. Figure 5R also illustrates detection of a swipe gesture corresponding to the movement of contact 550 from the second location 552-b (e.g., corresponding to hit region 554-a) to a third location 552-c (e.g., corresponding to hit region 554-d) in the direction of the let! quadrant associated with the deletion action. Figure 5S shows an animation in which the left quadrant is tom away from the reduced menu 548 and a visual characteristic of the left quadrant of the reduced menu 548 is changed in response to detecting lift-off of contact 550 at the third location 552-c within the hit region 554-d. In Figure 5T, “Bookmark C’ is no longer displayed within the bookmark bar 532 and the navigation bar 539 in response to detecting lift-off of contact 550 at the third location 552-c within the hit region 554-d.

in some embodiments, in response to detecting the user input, the device, in accordance with a determination that the user input satisfies one or more second input criteria that correspond to a second input type distinct trom the first input type (e.g., a one-finger light press gesture): initiates performance of (818) an action associated with the respective user interface element: and maintains display of the cursor. For example, the respective user interlace element is highlighted, selected, or the like, in a first example, Figures 5A-5B show a sequence in which highlighted text within a web page is un-highlighted and display of a cursor is maintained in response to detecting a one-finger light press gesture. Figure 5A shows a contact 506 detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 and a displayed representation of a focus selector (e.g., cursor 502) corresponding to contact 506 at a location on the display 450 that corresponds to the highlighted portion of text (e.g., “Ebola”) within the window 504. in this example, the intensity of the contact 506 is between ITt. and Π'ο (e.g-, the light press intensity level). In Figure 513, the portion of the text te.g,, “Ebola”) of the home page is no longer highlighted in response to detecting the one-finger light press gesture In Figure 5A.

[00291j in another example, Figures 6M-6N show a sequence in winch a link within a first web page is followed to a second web page and display of a cursor is maintained in response to detecting a one-finger light press gesture. Figure 6M shows a contact 636 detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 and a displayed representation of a focus selector (e.g., the cursor 602) corresponding to contact 636 at a location on the display 450 that corresponds to a link (e.g., associated with an “Entertainment News’ section of the website) within the window 604. In this example, the intensity of the contact 636 is between IT:, and ITd (e.g., the light press intensity level), in Figure 6N, a window 638 for a web browser application is displayed on display 450 in response to detecting the one-finger fight press gesture in Figure 6M. In Figure 6N, the window' 638 shows an “Entertainment News’’ section (e.g., corresponding to the URL www.all world ...news, com/ETnews) for the website (e.g., the “All World News” website).

[00292] in some embodiments, the one or more first input criteria are satisfied (820) when the user input is a press input with a contact with an intensity te.g., a characteristic intensity) above a first intensity threshold (e.g., a one finger deep press gesture press), and the one or more second input criteria are satisfied when the user input is a press input with a contact with an intensity above a second intensity threshold and below the first intensity threshold (e.g., a one finger light press gesture).

[00293] In Figures 5 A-511, a one-finger deep press gesture at a location on touchsensitive surface 451 that corresponds to a user interface element causes display of a reduced menu with selectable options that correspond io the user interface element, in one example,

Figures 5L-5M show a sequence in which a one-finger deep press gesture at a location corresponding to “Bookmark F” within bookmark bar 532 causes display of reduced menu

538 with selectable options corresponding to “Bookmark F.” In another example. Figures 5P5 5Q show a sequence in which a one-finger deep press gesture at a location corresponding to “Bookmark C’ within navigation bar 539 causes display of reduced menu 548 with selectable options corresponding to “Bookmark C.” [00294] In Figures 5A-51L a one-fmger light press gesture at a location on touchsensitive surface 451 that corresponds to a user interface clement causes an action associated with the user interface element to occur. For example, Figures 5A-5B show a sequence in which a one-fmger light press gesture at a location corresponding to highlighted text within a web page causes the text to be un-highlighfed.

[00295] In some embodiments, the one or more first input criteria are satisfied (822) when the user input includes a first number of contacts (e.g., a two finger tap/click gesture), and the one or more second first input criteria are satisfied -when the user input includes a second number of contacts distinct from the first number of contacts (e.g., a one finger tap/click gesture).

(00296] In Figures 6A-6X, a two-finger deep press gesture at a location on touchsensitive surface 451 that corresponds to a user interface element causes display of a reduced menu with selectable options that correspond to the user interface element. For example,

Figures 6K.-6L show a sequence in which a two-finger gesture at a location corresponding to a link within a web page causes display of reduced menu 632 with selectable options corresponding to the link, [ÖÖ297] In Figures 6A-6X, a one-finger light press gesture at a location on touch25 sensitive surface 451 that corresponds to a user interface element causes an action associated with the user interface element to occur. For example. Figures 6K-6L show a sequence in which a two-finger gesture at a location corresponding to a link within a first web page (e.g., associated with the URL www.all_world_news.com/home) causes display of a second web page (e.g., associated with the URL.· www.all_world_news.com/ETnews) corresponding to the link.

It should be understood that the particular order in winch the operations in

Figures 8A-8B have been described is merely exemplary and Is not intended to indicate that the described order is the only order In which the operations could he performed. One of ordinary skill in the art would recognize various ways to reorder die operations described herein. Additionally, it should he noted that details of other processes described herein with respect to other methods described herein (e.g., methods 700, 900, 1000, and 1600) are also applicable in an analogous manner to method 800 described above with respect to Figures

8A-8B. For example, the contacts, gestures, user interface objects, tactile outputs, intensity thresholds, and (bens selectors described above with reference to method 800 optionally have one or more of the characteristics of the contacts, gestures, user interface objects, tactile outputs, intensity thresholds, and focus selectors described herein with reference to other methods described herein (e.g., methods 700, 900, 1000, and 1600). For brevity, these details are not repeated here.

100299] Figures 9A-9C illustrate a flow diagram of a method 900 of displaying and using menus in accordance with some embodiments. The method 900 is performed at an electronic device (e.g., device 300, Figure 3, or portable multiftmction device 100. Figure 1 A) with a display, a touch-sensitive surface, and one or more sensors to delect intensity of contacts with the touch-sensitive surface, in some embodiments, the display is a touch-screen display and the touch-sensitive surface is on or integrated with the display. In some embodiments, the display is separate from the touch-sensitive surface. Some operations in method 900 are, optionally, combined and/or the order of some operations is, optionally, changed.

|00390| As described below, the method 900 provides an intuitive way to display and use menus. The method reduces the number, extent, and/or nature of the inputs from a user when displaying and using menus, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated electronic devices, enabling a user to display and use menus faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges. [00301] The device displays (902), on the display, a user interlace that includes one or more user interface elements. For example, the one or more user interface elements are electronic documents. URLs, ’media items, content items, affordances, text, and/or the like. In a first example, Figure 5A shows a window 504 for a web browser application displayed on display 450. In Figure 5A, the window 504 shows a home page (e.g., corresponding to the URL www.all_world_news.com/home) for a website (e.g., the “Ail World News” website) where a portion of the text (e.g., “Ebola”) is highlighted. In another example. Figure 5L shows the window 534 for the “Entertainment News” section (e.g., corresponding to the URL www.all__world__news.com/ETnews) of the website (e.g., the ‘All World News' website) displayed on display 450 along with the bookmarks bar 532. In yet another example. Figure 5U show's a window 558 for an email application displayed on display 450. In Figure 5U, the window 558 displays a list of a plurality of emails (e.g., emails A -I) in a user’s inbox and the contents of selected ‘Email A.' in Figure 5ÏJ, a portion of the text (e.g., “New Years”) of “Email A” is highlighted.

[003Ö2] The device detects (904) a press input by a contact on the touch-sensitive surface at a location that corresponds to a respective user interface element of the one or more user interface elements. For example, the user input is a gesture, such as a swipe or tap gesture, with one or more finger contacts.

[0Ö3Ö3J In response to detecting (906) the press input, and in accordance with a determination that the respective user interface meets first action criteria, the first action 10 criteria including, a criterion that the user interlace element, is associated with a single option associated with the press input the device, the device initiates performance of (908) an action that corresponds to the single option (e.g., resolving a URL or hyperlink within a web browser window to open a new web page associated with the URL,). In some embodiments, the single option is associated with the press input of a first type (e.g.. a deep press gesture).

In some embodiments, the single option is a “preferred option” for the input, type that is set in software (e.g., set as the default by the software developer or user selected).

[00304] In some embodiments, the device: displays, on the display, a user interface that includes one or more user Interface elements; detects a press input by a contact on the touch-sensitive surface at a location that corresponds to a respective user interface element of the one or more user interlace elements; and, in response to detecting the press input and in accordance with a determination that the respective user interlace meets first action criteria, the first aetion criteria including a criterion that the respective user interface element is associated with a single option associated with the press input, initiates performance of an action that corresponds to the single option.

[00305] In some embodiments, the respective user interface element corresponds to (910) a portion of an electronic document, and performing the action that corresponds to the single option includes: in accordance with a determination that the portion of the electronic document (e.g., a text portion) does not include data detected links, displaying a first additional user interface element overlaid on the electronic document with one or more selectable options (e.g,, a menu ’with options such as copy, paste, dictionary look-up. etc.) that correspond to the portion of the electronic document (e.g., the text portion); and, in accordance with a determination that the portion of the electronic document (e.g., the text portion) includes a data detected Itnk, displaying a second additional user interface element, distinct from the first additional user interface element., for the data detected link. In some embodiments, if the portion of the electronic document does not correspond to a data detected link (e.g., a word or ordinary text), a first additional user interface element, such as a list menu, is displayed. Conversely, in some embodiments, if the portion of the electronic document corresponds to a data detected link (e.g., a phone number, name of a person or business, address, etc.}, a second additional user interface element, such as a contact card or a menu with calling options, is displayed, [00306] For example. Figures 5FF-5GG show a sequence in which a deep-press gesture on a data detected link corresponding to a name causes display of a contact card (e.g., the second additional user interlace demerit}, Figure 5FF Illustrates a contact 574 detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 and a displayed representation of a focus selector (e.g., the cursor 502) corresponding to contact 574 at a location on the display 450 that corresponds to data detected link 576 (e.g., the name “G. Rasputin”) within the window 558, In this example, the intensity of the contact 574 is above Π'η ( e.g., the deep press intensity level). In Figure 5GG, a first additional user interface element 578 (i.e., a contact card) that corresponds to G.

Rasputin’’ is overlaid on window 558 in response to detecting the one-finger deep press gesture at the location corresponding to the data detected link 576 in Figure 5FF.

100307} In another example, Figures 5HH-5I1 show a sequence in winch a deep-press gesture on a data detected link corresponding to a phone number causes display of a customized menu (e.u., the second additional user interface element). Figure 5HH illustrates a contact 580 detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 and a displayed representation of a locus selector (e.g., the cursor 502) corresponding to contact 580 at a location on the display 450 that corresponds to data detected link 582 (e.g,, the phone number “+1 .xxx.xxx.xxxx’’) within the window 558, In Ohs example, the intensity of the contact 580 is above ITo (e.g., the deep press intensity level). In Figure 511, a second additional user interface element 584 (i.e., a menu) is displayed on display 450 in response to delecting the one-finger deep press gesture at the location corresponding to the data detected link 582 tn Figure 5HH. The second additional user interface element 584, in Figure 511, includes options associated with the phone number, including: adding the phone number as a new contact, adding the phone number to an existing contact, or calling the phone number via multiple potential options (e.g., VoIP, cellular service, FaeeTime, etc,).

(00308} in response to detecting (9()6} the press input, and in accordance with a determination that the respective user interface element meets second action criteria, the second action criteria including a criterion that the user interface element is associated with a first number of (selectable) options associated with the press input, where the first number is greater than one, the device displays (912) a first menu overlaid on the user interface, whe the first menu includes a first set of selectable options (e.g., selectable options that are part of the first number of selectable options). In some embodiments, the first set of selectable options includes the first number of selectable options. For example, the respective user interface element is a bookmark in a bookmark bar or navigation bar within a window of a web browser application, which is associated with four options. In this example, when the respective user interface element is selected a first menu (e.g., a reduced menu) is displayed.

As an example scenario, in Figures 5L-5M, the respective user interface element is “Bookmark F” in bookmarks bar 532, which is associated with tour options. In this example, the first menu is reduced menu 538, in Figure 5M, with four selectable options, including a new window action in the top quadrant, a new tab action in the right quadrant, the copy action in the bottom quadrant, and the delete action in the left quadrant.

[00309| In some embodiments, the second action criteria include (914) a criterion that the user interface element is associated with a first number of (selectable) options associated with the press input, where the first number is greater than one and less than a first threshold number of (selectable) options (e.g., less than 5 selectable options). For example, with reference to Figures 5I.-5M. the respective user interface element (e.g., “Bookmark F” in bookmarks bar 532) is associated with four options.

[00310] In some embodiments, the first menu is (916) a radial menu with two or more distinct portions that is located on the display at a (relative or absolute) location that corresponds to a location of the contact in the press input on the touch sensitive surface. In some embodiments, the first menu is displayed on the display using an absolute positioning scheme, in which there is a one-to-one correspondence between a point on the touch-sensitive surface and the display. For example, the first menu is the reduced menu 516 in Figure 5F with a radial menu form that includes four distinct selectable quadrants oriented in the cardinal directions. In some embodiments, the first menu is displayed on the display using a relative positioning scheme, in some embodiments, the first menu is a list menu, a grid menu, a segmented control, or the like.

100311] In some embodiments, the radial menu includes (918) two halves each comprising a distinct, unitary (e.g., contiguous and non-segmented) region forming half of the radial menu.

[00312] In some embodiments, the radial menu includes (920) four quadrants each comprising a distinct, unitary (e.g., contiguous and non-segmented) region forming a quarter of the radial menu. For example, the reduced menu 516 in Figure 5F is a radial menu with four distinct selectable quadrants, including the empty top and bottom quadrants, the left quadrant corresponding to a copy operation, and the right quadrant corresponding to a disabled paste operation.

[00313] In some embodiments, the device detects (922) a selection input that selects a respective portion (e.g., a quadrant or halt) of the first menu; and, in response to detecting the selection input, initiating performance of an action that corresponds to the selected respective portion of the first menu, in some embodiments, the selection input corresponds to detecting lift-off within the respective portion of the first menu or within a hit region that corresponds to the respective portion of the first menu, in some embodiments, the selection input corresponds to a swipe gesture in the direction of the respective portion of the first menu. In some embodiments, prior to selecting the respective portion, the user navigates to the respective portion of the first menu and the portion of the fust menu is visibly changed to show that it will be selected. For example, a quadrant in the first menu is highlighted, the quadrant flashes or blinks, a tooltip (e.g., the name of the action) associated with the action corresponding to the quadrant is overlaid on, or adjacent to, the quadrant, a color of the quadrant is changed, a border of the quadrant is thickened, or the like, [90314] For example. Figures 5Q-5T show a sequence in which a. user navigates to various quadrants of a reduced menu and causes a deletion action to be performed on a bookmark, in Figure 5Q, a visual characteristic of the right quadrant of reduced menu 548 is changed in response to detecting contact 550 at a first location 552-a within the hit region

554-b. Figure 5Q also illustrates detection of a swine gesture corresponding to the movement of contact 550 from the first location 544-a (e.g,, corresponding to hit region 554-b) to a second location 552-b (e.g., corresponding to hit region 554-a) in the direction of the top quadrant associated with the new window action. In Figure 5R, a visual characteristic of the top quadrant of the reduced menu 548 is changed in response to detecting contact 550 at the second location 552-b within the hit region 554-a. Figure 5R also illustrates detection of a swipe gesture corresponding to the movement of contact. 550 from the second location 552-b (e.g., corresponding to hit region 554-a) to a third location 552-c (e.g., corresponding to hit region 554-d) In the direction of the left quadrant associated with the deletion action. Figure

5S shows an animation in which the left quadrant is torn away from the reduced menu 548 and a visual characteristic of the left quadrant of the reduced menu 548 is changed in response to detecting lift-off of contact 550 at. the third location 552-c withui the hit region 554-d. In Figure 5T, “Bookmark C” is no longer displayed within the bookmark bar 532 and the navigation bar 539 in response to detecting lift-off of contact 550 at the third location

552-c within the hit region 554-d.

[00315] In some embodiments, in response to detecting (906) the press input, and in accordance with a determination that the respective user interface element meets third action criteria, the third action criteria including a criterion that the user interface element is associated with a second number of (selectable) options associated with the press input, where the second number is greater than a second threshold number of (selectable) options (e.g., 5 or more selectable options), the device displays (924) a second menu, distinct from the first menu, overlaid on the user interface, where the second menu includes a second set of selectable options (e.g., selectable options that are part of the second number of selectable options). In some embodiments, the second set of selectable options includes the second number of selectable options. In some embodiments, the second set. of selectable options includes more selectable options than the first set of selectable options. For example, the respective user interlace element is a hyperlink within a web page which is associated with five or more options. In tins example, when the respective user Interlace element is selected a second menu (e.g.. an expanded menu) is displayed. As an example scenario, in Figures 616J, the respective user Interface element is a link (e.g., associated with an “Entertainment News’ section of the website) within the window 604, winch is associated with more than lour options. In this example, the second menu is expanded menu 628, in Figure 6J, with eight selectable options, including: opening the “Entertainment News” section of the website in a new tab of the window 604, opening the ‘Entertainment News” section of the website in a new window of the web browser application, downloading a linked file associated with the “Entertainment News” section of the website, downloading a linked file associated with the “Entertainment News’’ section of the website with a specified file name and/or file type, adding the “Entertainment News” section of the website to the user’s bookmarks, adding the link to add the '‘Entertainment News’’ section of the website its the user's bookmarks, adding the “Entertainment News” section of the website to the user's reading list, copying the link to the clipboard, performing a web search with a search engine based on the link, and the like. [00316] In some embodiments, the first set of selectable options in the first menu Is (926) a subset of the second set of selectable options in the second menu. In some embodiments, the first set of selectable options Includes less than all of the selectable options in the second set of selectable options. In some embodiments, the first set of selectable options includes at least one of the selectable options in the second set of selectable options.

[00317] It should be understood that the particular order in which the operations in Figures 9A-9C have been described is merely exemplary and is not intended to indicate that the described order is the only order in which the operations could be performed. One of ordinary skill in the art would recognize various ways to reorder the operations described herein. Additionally, it should be noted that details of other processes described herein with respect to other methods described herent (e.g., methods 700, 800, 1000. and 1600) are also applicable in an analogous manner to method 900 described above with respect to Figures 9A-9C. For example, the contacts, gestures, user interface objects, tactile outputs, intensity thresholds, and focus selectors described above with reference to method 900 optionally have one or more of the characteristics ofthe contacts, gestures, user interface objects, tactile outputs, intensity thresholds, and focus selectors described herein with reference to other methods described herein (e.g., methods 700, 800, 1000, and 1600). For brevity, these details are not repeated here.

[00318] Figures 10A-10D illustrate a flow diagram of a method 1000 of displaying and using menus in accordance with some embodiments. The method 1000 is performed at an electronic device (e.g., device 300. Figure 3, or portable multifunction device 100, Figure 1 A) with a display, a touch-sensitive surface, and one or more sensors to detect intensity of contacts with the touch-sensitive surface. In some embodiments, the display is a touch-screen display and the touch-sensitive surface is on or integrated with the display. In some embodiments, the display is separate from the touch-sensitive surface. Some operations in method 1000 arc, optionally, combined and/or the order of some operations Is, optionally, changed.

As described below, the method 1000 provides an intuitive way to display and use menus. The method reduces the number, extent, and/or nature ofthe inputs from a user when displaying and using menus, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated electronic devices, enabling a user to display and use menus faster and mere efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges. [00320] The device displays (1002), on the display, a user interface that includes one or more user interface elements. For example, the one or more user interface elements are electronic documents, URLs, media items, content items, affordaoces, text, and/or the like. In a first example, Figure 5A shows a window 504 for a web browser application displayed on display 450. In Figure 5A, the window 504 show's a home page (e.g.,, corresponding to the LIRE www.all world news.com/home) for a website (e.g., the “Ail World News” website) where a portion of the text (e.g., “Ebola”)'is highlighted. In another example, Figure 51, shows the window 534 tor the “Entertainment News” section (e.g,, corresponding to the URL www.alljworld_news.com/ETnews) of the website (e.g,, the “All World News” website) displayed on display 450 along with the bookmarks bar 532. In yet another example, Figure

5U shows a window 558 for an email application displayed on display 450. In Figure 5U. the window 558 displays a list of a plurality of emails (e.g., emails A - I) in a user's inbox and the contents of selected “Email A.” In Figure 5L’, a portion of the text (e.g., “New Years'’) of “Email A” is highlighted.

[00321] The device detects (1004) a press input by a contact on the touch-sensitive surface at a location that corresponds to a respective user interface element of the one or more user interface elements. For example, the press input is a gesture, such as a swipe or tap gesture, with one or more finger contacts.

[00322j In some embodiments, after detecting the press input by the contact and prior to detecting that the intensity of the contact is above the first intensity threshold (e.g., where the first menu is displayed at its full size and minimum translucency), the device displays (1006) the additional user interface element at a reduced size. For example, as the intensity of the contact increases the size of the first menu increases and its translucency decreases until it. is displayed at its maximum size and minimum translucency when the intensity of the contact reaches the first intensity threshold.

1003231 For example, Figures 5U-5Y show a sequence in which a reduced menu 562 is displayed at various sizes and translucency levels as the intensity of continuously detected contact 560 increases. In Figures 5U-5V, contact 560 is detected on the touch-sensitive surface 451 at a location that corresponds to the highlighted text window the window 558.

The intensity of contact 560, in Figures 5U-5V, is below a predetermined trigger intensity, which triggers display of the reduced menu 562, and also ceases ίο display the cursor 502. In

Figure 5W, the cursor 502 ceases to be displayed and a first intermediate representation of a reduced menu 562 is displayed on display 450 in response to detecting that the intensity of the contact 560 is above the predetermined trigger intensity and below ITo- The first intermediate representation of the reduced menu 562.., in Figure 5W, is displayed at a. first size and a first translucency level and includes selectable options associated with the highlighted portion of the text (e.g.., “New Years”) of “Email A.” In Figure 5X, a second intermediate representation ol the reduced menu 562 is displayed on display 450 in response to the increase of the intensity of the contact 560, which is still less than ITo, as compared to Figure 5W. The second intermediate representation of the reduced menu 562, in Figure 5X, is displayed at a second size that is bigger than the first size and a second translucency level that is lower than the first translucency level. In Figure 5Y, a final representation of the reduced menu 562 is displayed on display 450 in response to detecting that the intensity of the contact

560 is above ITd te.g., the deep press intensity level). The final intermediate representation of the reduced menu 562, in Figure 5Y, is displayed at a third size that is bigger than the second size and a third translucency level that is lower than the second translucency level. For example, the final representation of the reduced menu 562 is displayed at its normal size and normal translucency as compared to the first and second representations of the reduced menu 562 in Figure 5W and 5X, respectively.

100324] In response to detecting the press input, and in accordance with a 10 determination that the contact in the press input has an intensity te.g., a characteristic intensity) above a first intensity threshold (e.g., a one-finger deep press gesture), the device displays (1008) an additional user interface element (e.g., a quick look interface or a reduced menu) overlaid on the user interface with one or more selectable options that correspond to the respective interface element. For example. Figures 5Z-5AA show a sequence in which a reduced menu with selectable options is overlaid on a 'window for a mail application in response to detecting a one-finger deep press gesture. Figure 5Z illustrates a contact 564 detected on touch- sensitive surface 451 and a displayed representation of a focus selector (e.g., the cursor 502) corresponding to contact 564 at a location on the display 450 that corresponds to a link (e.g., associated with the URL www.hoiels.com-'abc) within the window

558. In tins example., the intensity of the contact 564 is between IIY and 1T_L (e.g., the contact detection intensity threshold). In Figure 5AA, the cursor 502 ceases to be displayed and reduced menu 568 is displayed on display 450 in response to detecting that the intensity of the contact 564 is above ITd.

[00325] in some embodiments, the additional user interface element is (1010) a radial menu with two or more distinct portions that is located on the display at a (relative or absolute) location that corresponds to a location of the contact in the press input on the touch sensitive surface. In some embodiments, the first menu is displayed on the display using an absolute positioning scheme, in which there is a one-to-one correspondence between a point on the touch-sensitive surface and the display. For example, the first menu is the reduced menu 516 in Figure 5F with a radial menu form that includes four distinct selectable quadrants oriented in the cardinal directions, in some embodiments., the first menu is displayed on the display using a relative positioning scheme. In some embodiments, the first menu is a list menu, a grid menu, a segmented control, or the like.

100

In some embodiments, the radial menu includes (1012) two halves each comprising a distinct, unitary (e.g., contiguous and non-segmented) region forming half of the radial menu.

[00327] In some embodiments, the radial menu includes (1014) four quadrants each comprising a distinct, unitary (e.g., contiguous and non-segmented) region forming a quarter of the radial menu. For example, the reduced menu 516 in Figure 5F is a radial menu with four distinct selectable quadrants, including the empty top and bottom quadrants, the left quadrant corresponding to a copy operation, and the right quadrant corresponding to a disabled paste operation.

[00328] While displaying the additional user interface element overlaid on the user interface, foe device detects {1010) that the intensity of the contact in the press input is below a second intensity threshold. In some embodiments, the second intensity threshold corresponds to the first intensity threshold (e.g,, ITd). In some embodiments, the second intensity threshold is distinct from the first intensity threshold (e.g., the second intensity threshold is lower than the first intensity threshold such at ITl or ITo).

[00329] In response to detecting that the intensity of the contact in the press input is below the second intensity threshold, and in accordance with a determination that the press input (e.g., a slow deep press gesture) meets (1018) predefined timing criteria, the device, in accordance with a determination (1()20) that a respective location of the contact in the press input satisfies predetermined location criteria: initiates performance of an action associated with the respective user interface element: and ceases to display the additional user interface element overlaid on the user interface. In some embodiments, the determination as to the loeation/aetion criteria is made at the time of the intensity of the contact in the press input is detected to be below the second intensity threshold.

[00330) For example. Figures 5U-5Z show a sequence in which a reduced menu (e.g., the additional user interface element) is dismissed upon detecting lift-off in accordance with a determination that the predefined timing criteria are satisfied. In some embodiments, after determining that foe predefined timing criteria is satisfied (e.g.. the time of continuous detection of a contact exceeds a predefined time period Tx), a location of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface at lift-off corresponds to a respective option within the additional user interface element on the display such as a respective quadrant when the additional user interface element is a radial menu with four portions. For example, with reference to Figure 5Y, after determining that contact 560 has been continuously detected for a time greater than the predefined time period Tx, if contact 560 is detected at location associated with the left

101 quadrant of reduced menu 562 (or its corresponding hit region) when lift-off of contact 560 is detected, the copy action associated with the left quadrant is performed on the highlighted text (e.g., “New Years’'), the reduced menu 562 eeases to be displayed, and the cursor 502 is re-displayed. In some embodiments, the device ceases to display the additional user interface element concurrent with performing the action, [00331] In response to detecting that the intensity of the contact in the press input is below the second intensity threshold, and in accordance with a determination that the press input (e.g,, a slow deep press gesture) meets (1018) predefined timing criteria, the device, in accordance with a determination that the respective location of the contact in the press input does noi satisfy the predetermined location criteria, the device ceases (1022) to display the additional user interface element overlaid on the user Interface while forgoing performance of the action associated with the respective user interface element.

[00332] For example, Figures 5U-5Z show a sequence in which a reduced menu (e.g., the additional user interface element) is dismissed upon detecting lift-off ir! accordance with a determination that the predefined timing criteria are satisfied, in some embodiments, after determining that the predefined timing criteria is satisfied (e.g., the time of continuous detection of a contact exceeds a predefined time period ΊΥ), a location of the contact on the touch-sensitive sur face at lift-off does not correspond to a respective option within the additional user interface element on the display. For example. Figures 5Y-5Z show a sequence in which the reduced menu 562 ceases to he displayed, the cursor 502 is redisplayed, and actions associated with the reduced menu 562 are forgone in accordance with a first determination that the contact 560 has been continuously detected for a time greater than the predefined time period T\ and in accordance with a second determination that the location of contact 560 at the time of lift-off is not associated with any of the quadrants of reduced menu 562 for their corresponding hit regions).

[003331 In some embodiments, the predefined timing criteria is satisfied f 1024) in accordance with a determination that a time interval that the contact in the press input remains above the first intensity threshold is more than a predefined time period.

106334] In some embodiments, the predefined timing criteria is satisfied (1026) in accordance with a determination that a time interval between the first intensity threshold being reached by the contact and the Intensity of the contact falling below the second intensity threshoid is more than a predefined time period.

f00335] In some embodiments, the predefined timing criteria is satisfied (1028) in accordance with a determination that a time interval between initial touch-down by the

102 contact in the press input and the first intensity threshold being reached by the contact is more a predefined time period.

In some embodiments, the predefined timing criteria is satisfied (1030) in accordance with a determination that a time interval between initial touch-down by the contact in the press input and the first intensity threshold no longer being exceeded by the contact is more than a predefined time period.

[00337] In some embodiments, the predefined timing criteria is satisfied (1032) in accordance with a determination that a time interval between the first intensity threshold no longer being exceeded by the contact and the intensity of the contact falling below the second intensity threshold is more than a predefined time period.

100338] in some embodiments, the predefined timing criteria is satisfied (1034) in accordance with a determination that a time interval between initial touch-down and the intensity of the contact falling below the second intensity threshold is more than a predefined time period. For example, Figures 5U-5Z show a sequence in which the predefined time period (e.g., Tx) corresponds to the time interval between detecting of initial touch-down of contact 5b0 and detecting that the intensity of the contact 560 is below the second intensity threshold (e.g,, ITo).

[00339] In some embodiments, the predefined timing criteria is satisfied (1036) in accordance with: a determination that a rate of increase of the intensity of the contact in the press input (e.g., the time between touch-down and reaching the threshold intensity is above a time threshold, or the time between reaching a first, (animation preview) intensity threshold and reaching a second (menu display) intensity threshold is above a time threshold) is below a predetermined threshold.

[00340] In some embodiments, in response to detecting that the intensity of the contact in the press input is below the second intensity threshold, and in accordance with a determination that the press input (e.g., a quick deep press gesture) does not meet (1038) the predefined timing criteria, the device maintains (1040) display of the additional user interface element overlaid on the user interface. For example Figures 5Z-5BB show a sequence in which a reduced menu is maintained upon detecting lift-off in accordance with a determination that predefined timing criteria are not satisfied. Figure 5Z illustrates a contact 564 detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 and a displayed representation of a focus selector (e.g., the cursor 502) corresponding to contact 564 at a location on the display 450 that corresponds to a link (e.g., associated with the URL www.hotels.com/abc) within the window 558. In Figure 5 A A, the cursor 502 ceases to be displayed and reduced menu 568 is displayed

103 on display 450 in response to detecting that the intensity of the contact 564 is above ITd. Furthermore, Figure 5AA illustrates that the time of continuous detection of the contact 564 that is below a predefined time period Τχ. In Figure 5AA, the reduced menu 568 is associated with a plurality of selectable options that correspond to the link (e.g., associated with the URL. www.hoteis.com/abc), including; a new window action, a share action, a new tab action, and a preview action. In Figure 5BB. contact 564 is no longer detected on touchsensitive surface 451. Figure 5BB illustrates maintaining display of the reduced menu 568 after detecting lift-off of contact 564 and in accordance w ith a determination that the time of continuous detection of the contact 564 was below a predefined time period Τχ.

[00341 ] In some embodiments, while maintaining display ί 1042) of the additional user interface element overlaid on the user interface, the device (1044): detects lift-off of the contact in the press input at a location corresponding to a center of the additional user interface element on the display; and, in response to detecting lift-off of the contact in the press input at the location corresponding to the center of the additional user interface element on the display, ceases display cf the additional user interface element. For example, Figures

5M-5P show a sequence in which a user navigates into a respective quadrant of a reduced menu (e.g,, the additional user interface element) and subsequently navigates back into the center of the reduced menu to dismiss the reduced menu and forgo performing the action associated with the respective quadrant. In tins example, each of the quadrants of reduced menu 538 is associated with a hit region 540 on the touch-sensitive surface 451 that is larger than its displayed area on the display 450. The top quadrant corresponding to the new window action is associated hit region 540-a, the right quadrant corresponding to the new tab operation is associated with hit region 540-b, the bottom quadrant corresponding to the copy operation is associated with hit region 540-c, and the left quadrant corresponding to the delete operation is associated with hit region 540-d. For example, lift-off of a contact within a center “dead-zone of the hit regions 540 (e.g., shown in Figures 5Q-5R as center “dead-zone” 556) causes dismissal of the reduced menu 538 while forgoing actions associated with the quadrants of the reduced menu 538.

[O0342[ In some embodiments, while maintaining display (1042.) of the additional user interlace element overlaid on the user interface, the device (1046): detects a selection input that selects a respective one of the one or more selectable options of the additional user interface element; and, in response to detecting the selection input, initiates performance of an action that corresponds to the selected respective one of the one or more selectable options of the additional user interface element. For example. Figures 5BB-5F.E show a sequence in

104 which a preview area is concurrently displayed with a reduced menu m response to selecting a preview option of a reduced menu. Figure 5BB illustrates detection of a swipe gesture corresponding to the movement of contact 565 from the first location 566-a to a second location 566-b in the direction of the bottom quadrant of the reduced menu 568 associated with the preview' action. In Figure 5CC, die contact 565 Is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 at the second location 5oe>-b and a visual characteristic of the bottom quadrant of the reduced menu 568 is changed in response to detecting contact 565 at the second location 566b within a hit region corresponding to the bottom quadrant. Figure 5i)D shows an animation in which the bottom quadrant is torn away from the reduced menu 568 to indicate that it was selected in response to detecting li ft-off of contact 565 at the second location 566-b within a hit region corresponding to the bottom quadrant of the reduced menu 568. in Figure 5EE, a reduced menu 570 is concurrently displayed along with preview window 572 on display 450 in response to detecting lift-off of contact 565 at the second location 566-b within a bit region corresponding to the bottom quadrant, of the reduced menu 568 in Figures 5CC-5DD. The reduced menu 570 is associated with a plurality of selectable options that correspond to the link (e.g,, www.hotels.eom/ahe), Including: a new' window action, a share action, a new tab action, and an add to reading list action. The preview window' 572 displays at least a portion of the web page that corresponds to the link (e.g., www.hotels.com/abc).

[00343] In some embodiments, the press input is (1048) a first user input, and the selection input is a second user input, distinct from the first user input. For example, a first gesture with a press input causes display of the first menu and a second selection gesture, such as a tap on an option in the additional user interface element, selects an option within the additional user interface element. For example, Figures 5P-5T show a sequence in which a reduced menu is displayed in response to a first gesture satisfying predetermined criteria and a quadrant cd the reduced menu is selected with a second gesture distinct from the first gesture. Figure 5P illustrates contact 546 detected on toueh-sensitive surface 451 and a displayed representation of a focus selector (e.g., the cursor 502) corresponding to contact 546 at a location on the display 450 that corresponds to a ’‘Bookmark C” within the navigation bar 539. in this example, the intensity of the contact 546 is above IT» (e.g., the deep press intensity level), in Figure 5Q, the cursor 502 ceases to be displayed and a reduced menu 548 is displayed on the display 450 in response to detecting the one-finger deep press gesture In Figure 5P. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the selection input is a continuous gesture with a press input to display the additional user interface element and a selection gesture, such as a swipe, to select an option within the additional user interface element.

105

In some embodiments, detecting the selection input includes (1050) detecting a swipe gesture in a direction on the touch-sensitive surface that corresponds to a direction on the display that corresponds to the respective one of the one or more selectable options of the additional user interface element. For example, a quick swipe gesture in a direction (e.g., a gross up, down, right, or left swipe) that corresponds to the respective portion of the first menu causes the respective portion to be selected and/or an action associated with the respective portion to be performed. For example, Figures 5BB-5DD show a sequence in which a swipe gesture causes a respective quadrant of a reduced menu to be selected and an action corresponding to the respective quadrant to be performed. Figure 5BB illustrates detection of a swipe gesture corresponding to the movement of contact 565 trom the first location 566-a to a second location 566-b in the direction of the bottom quadrant of reduced menu 568 associated with the preview action. In Figure 5CC, the contact 565 is detected on touch-sensitive surface 451 at the second location 566-b and a visual characteristic of the bottom quadrant of the reduced menu 568 is changed in response to detecting contact 565 at the second location 566-b within a hit region corresponding to the bottom quadrant. Figure 5DD also shows an animation in which the bottom quadrant is torn away from the reduced menu 568 to indicate that it was selected in response to detecting lift-off of contact 565 at the second location 566-b within a hit region corresponding to the bottom quadrant of the reduced menu 568. in Figure 5 EE, a reduced menu 570 is concurrently displayed along with preview window 572 on display 450 in response to detecting lift-off of contact 565 at the second location 566-b within a hit region corresponding to the bottom quadrant of the reduced menu 568 in Figures 5CC-5DD. The preview window 572. displays at least a portion of the web page that corresponds in the link (e.g., www.hotels.com/'abc).

[00345] In some embodiments, detecting the selection input includes (1052) detecting lift-off of a respective contact at a location that corresponds to the respective one of the one or more selectable options of the additional user interface element of the additional user interface element on the display. For example, lift-off of the respective contact on the touchsensitive surface at a location that corresponds to the respective portion of the first menu causes the action associated with the respective portion to be performed. For example,

Figures 5R-5T show' a sequence in which lift-off of a contact within a respective quadrant (or its corresponding hit region) causes the action associated with the respective quadrant to be selected and also causes the action to be performed. Figure 5R illustrates detection of a swine gesture corresponding to the mo vement of contact 550 from the second location 552-b (e.g., corresponding to hit region 554-a) to a third location 552-c (e.g., corresponding to hit region

106

554-d) in the direction of the left quadrant associated with the deletion action. Figure 5S shows an animation in which the left quadrant is torn away from the reduced menu 548 and a visual characteristic of the left quadrant of the reduced menu 548 is changed in response to detecting lift-off of contact 550 at the third location 552-e within the hit region 554-d. in

Figure 5T, “Bookmark C” is no longer displayed within the bookmark bar 532 and the navigation bar 539 in response to detecting lift-off of eon tact 550 at the third location 552-c within the hit region 554-d.

[00407] in some embodiments, the press input is a fust user input, and the selection input is a second user input, distinct from the first user input.

[00408] In some embodiments, the processing unit 1410 is configured to detect the 20 selection input by detecting (e.g., with the input detecting unit 1414) a swipe gesture in a direction on the touch-sensitive surface unit 1404 that corresponds to a direction on the display unit 1402 that corresponds to the respective one of the one or more selectable options of the additional user interface element.

The operations in the information processing methods described above are, optionally implemented by running one or more functional modules in information processing apparatus such as general purpose processors (e.g., as described above with respect to Figures 1A and 3) or application specific chips.

[00422] The operations described above with reference to Figures 10A-10D are, optionally, implemented by components depicted in Figures 1A-1B or Figure 14. For example, detection operation 1004 and maintaining operation 1040 are, optionally, implemented by event sorter 170, event recognizer 180, and event handler 190. Event monitor 171 in event sorter 170 detects a contact on touch-sensitive display 112, and event dispatcher module 174 delivers the event information to application 136-1. A respective event recognizer 180 of application 136-1 compares the event information to respective event definitions 186., and determines whether a first contact at a first location on the touchsensitive surface (or whether rotation of the device) corresponds to a predefined event or subevent, such as selection of an object on a user interface, or rotation of the device from one orientation to another. When a respective predefined event or sub-event is detected, event recognizer 180 activates an event handler 190 associated with the detection of the event or sub-event. Event handier 190 optionally uses or calls data updater 176 or object updater 177 to update the application internal state 192. In some embodiments, event handler 190 accesses a respective GUI updater 178 to update what is displayed by the application.

Similarly, it would be clear to a person having ordinary skill in the art. how other processes can be implemented based on the components depicted in Figures 1 A-IB.

[00423] Figures 15A-15S illustrate exemplary user for interacting with a map in accordance with some embodiments. The user interfaces in these figures are used to illustratie the processes described herein, including the processes in Figures 7A-7F, 8A-8B, 9A-9C, i0A-i0D, and 16A-16B. Some of Figures 15A-15S include intensity diagrams 550 that show a current intensity of the contact on the touch-sensitive surface relative to a plurality of intensity thresholds including ITo, ΠΥ, and ITd. in some embodiments, operations similar to those described below with reference to ITo are performed with reference to a different intensity threshold (e.g., “Π'Ε’). In some embodiments, operations similar to those described below with reference to IT;, are performed with reference to a different intensity threshold (e.g., “ITo”).

[00424] For convenience of explanation, the embodiments described with reference to Figures 15A-15S will be discussed with reference to a device with display 450 and separate touch-sensitive surface 451; however, analogous operations are, optionally, performed on a

121 device with touch-sensitive display system 112 in response to detecting the contacts described in Figures 15A-15S on touch-sensitive display system 112 while displaying the user interfaces shown in Figures 15A-15S on touch-sensitive display system 112: in such embodiments, the focus selector is, optionally: a respective contact, a representative point corresponding to a contact (e.g., a centroid of a respective contact or a point associated with a respective contact), or a centroid of two or more contacts detected on touch-sensitive display system 112, in place of cursor 1510.

[00425] Figure 15A illustrates map view user interface 1500 displayed on display 45(1. Map view user interface 1500 displays map 1502 (e.g., showing a map region of the San Francisco Bay Area). Map view user interlace 1500 also provides zoom-in affordance 1504, zoom-out affordance 1506, and compass 1508 that indicates the displayed orientation of map 1502 (e.g., in the example shown, map 1502 is oriented along true north as indicated by compass 1508), A cursor 1510 is positioned over a respective location of map 1502, [00426] In some embodiments, the device receives a touch input 1512. In accordance with a determination that touch input 512 meets first intensity criteria, the device performs a first operation with respect to map 1502, In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that touch input 1512 does not meet the first intensity criteria, the device forgoes performing the first operation with respect to map 1502. In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that touch input 1512 does not meet the first intensity criteria, the device performs a second operation with respect to the man. In some embodiments, the first intensity criteria include a determination that touch input 1512 is above a respective intensity threshold (e.g., touch input 1512 has an intensity greater than ITd as shown in intensity diagram 550, so that touch input 1512 is considered a deep press). In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 15B„ the first operation includes dropping (e.g., placing/displaying) a marker/pin/point-of-interest (POI) 1514 at the location of cursor 1510.

In some embodiments, the first operation is performed in response to determining that touch input 512 meets first intensity criteria (e.g., the first operation is performed without waiting for a predetermined amount of time after determining that that touch, input 512 meets the first intensity criteria, thereby allowing more rapid and efficient interaction with the map).

In some embodiments, the second operation (e.g., when the touch input does not meet the first intensity criteria) includes moving cursor 1510 in accordance with the position of the touch, input. In some embodiments, the second operation includes redisplaying a different map region in accordance with the position of the touch input {e.g., scrolling tb

Figure 15C illustrates points-of-interest (POls) 1516 (e.g., POl 1516-a; POl

151.6-b; and POl 1516-c) displayed In response to a search query 1518. For example, in response to a search query for “Beaches” the device displays a plurality of POls 1516 each corresponding to a beach on map 1502. The device receives a touch input 1520 (e.g,, a light or deep press) while cursor 1510 is over a respective POl 1516 (e.g.. as shown in Figure 15C, cursor 1510 is over POÏ 1516-c). Sn response to detecting touch input 1520 while cursor 1510 is displayed over the respective POl 1516, and in accordance with a determination that touch input 1520 meets second intensity criteria (e.g., the same intensity criteria as the first intensity criteria, or different intensity criteria), the device performs a first operation with respect to the POl 1516. For example, as shown in Figure 15G, in some embodiments, upon detecting touch, input 1520 with an intensity over ITn. the device displays a user interface region 1522 that includes descriptive information about POl 1516-c (e.g., a place card), in some embodiments, as shown in Figures I5C-15G, the device displays an animated transition of user interface region 1.52.2 appearing (e.g., as shown in Figures 15C-15G, user interface region 1522 grows larger ). In some embodiments, at least a portion of the animated transition is directly controllable by the intensity of touch input 1520, For example, the animated transition is initiated when the intensity of touch input. 1520 exceeds IT;... In some embodiments, at least a portion (e.g., the beginning) of the animated transition progresses as the intensity of touch input 1520 increases. In some embodiments, user interface region 1522.

once folly displayed, remains on display 450 regardless of subsequent changes to the intensity of touch input 1520 (e.g., display of user interface region 1522 is “sticky’’ after it is folly displayed). In some embodiments, when the intensity of touch input 1520 drops below ITothe animated transition reverses, and the device discontinues display of user interface region 1522 (e.g., display of user interface region 1522 is not “sticky” and the first operation is an operation to “peek” at user interlace region 1522).

[00429] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1511-151. the device receives a touch input 1524 (e.g,, a tap gesture) while cursor 1510 is over a respective POl 1.516. In response to detecting touch input 1524 while cursor 1510 is over the respective POl 1516, in accordance with a determination that touch input 1.524 does not meet the second intensity criteria ί e.g., IT'd), the device performs a second operation with respect to the POl 1516. For example, as shown in Figures 15H-T5I, in some embodiments, upon detecting touch input 1524 (e.g., a tap gesture;· with an intensity above I IT, the device displays a user interface region 1526 that includes a quick menu corresponding to POl 1516-c (e.g,, showing a rating, driving time, etc.). In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 151, when the device detects

123 termination (e.g., discontinuation) of touch input 1524, the device maintains display of user interface region 152.6 (e.g,, user interface region 1526 is sticky, allowing the user to interact with user interface region 1526 via separate, distinct, touch inputs). In some embodiments, a subsequent separate touch input (e.g., a tap gesture) on the display of driving time (e.g., “46 mins”) initiates displaying directions to the PO1 151.6-e,

100430] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 15.1, the device detects a touch input 1528 (e.g., a tap gesture) while cursor 15 i ü is over an affordance (e.g.. a place-card affordance represented by the symbol “>”) within user interface region 1526. In some embodiments, the device responds to touch input 1528 (e.g., a tap gesture) while cursor 1510 is over the affordance by displaying user interface region 1522 as shown in Figure 15K, in some embodiments, when user interface region 1522 is displayed in response to touch input 1528 (e.g., a tap gesture on the affordanee within user interface region 1526), the device maintains display of user interface region 152.2 after touch input 152.8 has been discontinued (e.g.. when reached via user interface region 1526, user interface region 1522 is “sticky”). [00431j Thus, in accordance with some embodiments. Figures 15C-15G provide a shortcut (e.g., using a single light press) to preview (e.g., “peek af’) user interface region 152.2, while Figures 1511-15K provide functionality to add user interface region 1522 to the user interface in a “sticky” manner.

Figures 15L-15S illustrate exemplary user interfaces with tactile (e.g.. hr outputs indicating that a map is aligned with one or more orientations associated with the map. For example, in some embodiments, the one or more orientations include true north. In some embodiments, the one or more orientations include transit north indicating a principle direction of, for example, a subway system, a highway system, or a city block layout

Figure 15L illustrates a map 1530 representing a region of Manhattan. Map includes representations of subway lines

532 (e.g., subway ine 1532-a; subway lint

1532-b; and subway hne 1532-c) and representations of roads 1534 (e.g., 1 st Avenue). As described above, compass 1508 indicates the displayed orientation of map 1530 (e.g., with respect to true north). In the exemplary region of Manhattan shown in map 1530, the transit system has an orientation that, is approximately 29 degrees east of north (e.g-, as defined by the principal direction of subways lines 1532 or the principal direction roads 1 534).

[00434] Figures 15L illustrates the device receiving a touch input 1536 on touchsensitive surface 451 that is a request to rotate the orientation of map 1530 (e.g., a two-finger rotating gesture, with one finger contact 1536-a making a clockwise twisting motion relative

124 to another finger contact 1536-b). For example, touch input 1536 is a request to rotate map 1530 clockwise.

[00435] Figures 15M-15N illustrate that, in response to receiving touch input 1536, the device rotates map 1530 clockwise on display 450. In some embodiments, map 1530 is rotated about a center of the displayed portion of map 1530. In some embodiments, map 1530 is rotated about the location of cursor 1510. Compass 1508 in Figures 15M-15N also indicates the changes to the map orientation.

](10436] Figure 15N also illustrates that, when the orientation of map 1530 reaches a first pre-determined orientation in response to touch input 1536 (e.g., true north aligns with a vertical direction on display 450), the device provides a tactile output (e.g., a vibration or movement of touch-sensitive surface 451). For example, the tactile output gives the user the sensation that the map is “snapping” into the true north direction. In some embodiments, when the orientation of map 1530 rotates within a pre-determined range of angles of the first pre-determined orientation (e.g., plus or minus 2 degrees of true north), the map aligns with the first pre-d etennined orientation and provides the tactile output. In some embodiments, the device provides the tactile output whenever one of the cardinal directions (north, south, cast, west) is aligned with a principal direction of display 450 (e.g., a horizontal or vertical direction of display 450). In some embodiments, the device provides the tactile output whenever one of the cardinal directions (north, south, east, west) is starting to move away from the principal direction of display 450 (e.g., a horizontal or vertical direction of display 450).

]00437] Figure 150 illustrates the device receiving a touch input 1540 that is a request to rotate the orientation of map 1530 in the opposite direction as compared with touch input 1536 (e.g., a two-finger rotating gesture, with one finger contact 1540-a making a counterclockwise twisting motion, as compared with touch input 1536, relative to another finger contact 1540-b). For example, touch input 1540 is a request to rotate map 1530 counterclockwise. Figures 150-15P illustrate that, in response to receiving touch input 1540, the device rotates map 1530 counter-clockwise on disolay 450.

As shown in Figure 15P, when the orientation of map 1530 reaches a second pre-determined orientation in response to touch input 1540 (e.g., transit north), the device again provides a tactile output (e.g., a vibration or movement of toueh-sensitive surface 451 i. [00439] Figures 15Q-1 5R illustrate subsequent rotation of touch input 1540. Figure I5Q illustrates that, lit some embodiments, the device provides a tactile output (e.g., a vibration or movement of touch-sensitive surface 451) to indicate that the transit north

125 direction of map 1530 is starting to move away from the principal direction of display 450.

Figure 15R. illustrates that map 1530 is further rotated counter-clockwise in accordance with touch input 1540.

[00440] Figure 15S illustrates the device receiving a touch input 1542 while the cursor is over zoom-in affordanee 1504, in response, as shown in chart 1544, the device zooms into map 1530 (e.g., displays an animation that magnifies a region of Manhattan) at a rate that corresponds to the intensity of contact 1542. For example, in some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that, touch input 1542 has a first intensity (e.g,, an intensity between IT:. and IT»), the device zooms-in at. a first rate (e.g., rate 1546-1), and in accordance with a determination that touch input 15 has a second intensity that is greater than the first intensity (e.g.. an intensify above ITd), the device zooms-in at a second rate (e.g., rate 1546-2) that is greater than the first rate (e.g., rate 1546-1). In some embodiments, the intensity of touch input 1542 maps to a respective range in a plurality of intensity ranges (e.g,, with the plurality of intensity ranges collectively covering the dynamic range over which touch sensitive surface 451 is capable of detecting intensities). In some embodiments, each range in the plurality of intensity ranges maps to a respective zoom speed, with greater intensity mapping to greater zoom speeds (e.g., 1546-3 and 1546-4). in some embodiments, the zoom speed is proportional to the intensity of touch-input. In some embodiments, fhe zoom, speed varies continuously with pressure (e.g.. instead of the tour discrete rates 1546 shown in. Figure 158) In some embodiments, zoom-out affordanee 1506 provides analogous behavior (e.g., when zoom-out affordanee 1506 is activated by a touch input, the zoom-out rate is related to the intensity of the touch input, with greater intensities resulting in a faster zoom-out).

[Θ0441] Figures 16 A-16B illustrate a flow diagram of a method 1600 of generating a tactile (e.g., haptic) output when a user rotates a displayed map info certain predetermined directions in accordance with some embodiments. The method 1600 is performed at an electronic device (e.g., device 300, Figure 3, or portable multifunction device 100. Figure 1 A) with a display, a touch-sensitive surface, and one or more tactile output generators to provide tactile outputs. In some embodiments, the display is a touch-screen display and the touch-sensitive surface is on or integrated with the display. In some embodiments, the display is separate from the touch-sensi five surface. Some operations in method 1600 are, optionally, combined and/or the order of some operations is, optionally, changed.

[00442] As described below', the method 1600 provides an intuitive way to align a displayed map to an important orientation. The method reduces the number, extent, and/or

126 nature of the inputs from a user when aligning maps, thereby creating a more efficient human-machine interface. For battery-operated electronic devices, enabling a user to align maps faster and more efficiently conserves power and increases the time between battery charges.

[Θ0443] The electronic device displays (1602), on the display, a map that is associated with a first orientation. In some embodiments, the first orientation is (1604) true north. In some embodiments, a compass, that indicates the first orientation of the map, is (1606) displayed concurrently with the map (e.g., compass 1.508, Figures 15A-15S).

[00444J The electronic device receives (1608) a touch input on the touch-sensitive surface (e.g,, a two--finger rotation gesture comprising contacts 1536-a and 1536-b shown in Figures 151,-15N, or a two-finger rotate gesture comprising contacts 1540-a and 1540-b shown in Figures 15O-15S). In some embodiments, the touch input is (1610) a multi-finger rotate gesture (e.g,, a two-finger rotate gesture).

[00445] In response to receiving the touch input on the touch-sensitive surface, the electronic device rotates (1612) the map on the display in accordance with the touch input (e.g.. Figures 15L-15N Illustrate a clockwise map rotation in response to a clockwise twofinger rotation gesture 1536, and Figures I5O-15P Illustrate a counter-clockwise map rotation in response to a counter-clockwise two-finger rotation gesture 1540). For example, the map is directly manipulated in accordance with a rotation of the two-finger rotate gesture (e.g., a 30 degree rotation of the two-finger rotate gesture rotates the map by 30 degrees).

[00446] While rotating the map on the display in accordance with die touch input: in response to determining that a displayed orientation of the rotated map corresponds to the first orientation of the map, the electronic device generates (1614) a first tactile output (e.g., using the one or more tactile output generators). For example, Figure 15N illustrates that the first tactile output is generated in response to determining that the displayed orientation of the rotated map corresponds to the first orientation (e.g., a true north) of the map (e.g,, the direction of the true north aligns with a vertical direction of the device display), in some embodiments, the device snaps the map to the first orientation in accordance with a determination that the displayed orientation of the rotated map Is within a predefined range of angles from the first orientation of the map (e.g., the device displays the map in the first orientation in accordance with a determination that the orientation of the rotated map comes within ±2 degrees from the first orientation).

[00447] In some embodiments, while rotating the map on the display in accordance with the touch input: in response to determining that the displayed orientation of the rotated map does not correspond to the first orientation of the map, the electronic device forgoes (1616) generation of the first tactile output. For example, in Figure 15M, when the displayed orientation of the rotated map does not correspond to the true north, no tactile output is generated.

[00448] In some embodiments, the map is also associated (1618. Figure 16B) with a second orientation that is distinct from the first orientation (e.g., a ‘transit north as defined by a direction of roads, by a direction of subway fines, or by a direction of another transit system displayed on the map). While rotating the map on the display in accordance with the touch input: in response to determining that the displayed orientation of the rotated map corresponds to the second orientation of the map, the electronic device generates a second tactile output (e.g., using the one or more tactile output generators). For example, Figure 15P illustrates that the second tactile output is generated in response to determining that the displayed orientation of the rotated map corresponds to the second orientation (e.g., the transit north) of the map (e.g., the direction of subway lines aligns with a vertical direction of the device display). In some embodiments, the second tactile output is identical to the first tactile output. In some embodiments, the second tactile output is distinct from the first tactile output, [00449] In some embodiments, the device snaps the map to the second orientation in accordance with a determination that the displayed orientation of the rotated map is within a predefined range of angles from the second orientation of the map (e.g., the device displays the map in the second orientation in accordance with a determination that the orientation of the rotated map comes within ±2 degrees from the second orientation).

[00450] In some embodiments, the device snaps the map to the second orientation only when a transit layer (e.g., a road layer that shows roads on the map or a public transit layer that shows public transit routes, such as subway lines) is displayed on the map. In such embodiments, when the transit layer is not displayed on the map, no snapping of the map to the second orientation occurs (even if the displayed orientation of the mart is within the predefined range of angles from the second orientation of the map). In some embodiments, the device snaps the map to the first orientation (e.g., true north) regardless of whether the transit layer is displayed on the map. In some embodiments, the device snaps the map to the first orientation only when the transit layer is displayed on the map.

[004511 In some embodiments, the snapping of the map to the second orientation (e.g..

transit north) depends on the zoom/magnification level of the map, whereas the snapping of the map to the first orientation (e.g,, true north) does not depend on the zoorn/rnagmfieation

128 level of the map. For example, the snapping of the map to transit north is provided at a first (e.g., high) zoom/magnification level and not. provided at a second (e.g,., low) zoom/magnification level, whereas the snapping of the map to true north is provided at both the first zoom/magnification level and the second zoom/magnification level.

[004521 In some embodiments, the second tactile output is generated only when a transit layer (e.g., a road layer that shows roads on the map or a public transit layer that shows public transit routes, sneb as subway lines) is displayed on the map. In such embodiments, when the transit layer is not displayed on the map, generation of the second tactile output is forgone (even if the displayed orientation of the rotated map corresponds to the second orientation of the map). In some embodiments, the first tactile output is generated regardless of whether the transit layer Is displayed on the map. In some embodiments, the first tactile output is generated only when the transit layer is displayed on the map.

[064531 in some embodiments, the generation of the second tactile output (e.g,, for transit north) depends on the zoom/magnification level of the map, whereas the generation of the first tactile output te.g,, for true north) does not depend on the zoom/magnifieation level of the map. For example, the haptic for transit north is provided at a first (e.g., high) zoom/magnifieation level and not provided at a second (e.g., low) zoom/magnification level, whereas the haptic for true north is provided at both the first zoom/magnification level and the second zoom/magnification level.

[00454] in some embodiments, the second orientation is (1620) transit north (also called transit system north, subway system north., or road grid north).

[(1(1455] In some embodiments, while rotating the map on the display in accordance with the touch input: in response to determining that the displayed orientation of the rotated map does not correspond to either of the first orientation or the second orientation, the electronic device forgoes (1622) generation of a tactile output (e.g., forgoing generation of the first tactile output and forgoing generation of the second tactile output). For example, in Figure 15M, when the displayed orientation of the rotated map does not correspond to the true north or the transit north, no tactile output is generated.

[00456] In seme embodiments, while rotating the map on the display in accordance with the touch input, in response io determining that the displayed orientation of the rotated map starts to move away from the first orientation of the map (to which the man was previously snapped), the device generates a third tactile output. For example, in Figure 15N, a further rotation of contacts 1536-a and 1536-b initiates generation of the third tactile output to indicate that the map will eease to be aligned with the first orientation (e.g., true north). In

129 some embodiments, the third tactile output is distinct from the first tactile output. In some embodiments, the third tactile output is distinct from the second tactile output, in some embodiments, the third tactile output is the same as the first tactile output.

In some embodiments, while rotating the map on the display in accordance 5 with the touch input, in response to determining that the displayed orientation of the rotated map starts to move away from the second orientation of the map (to which the map was previously snapped), the device generates a fourth tactile output. For example, in Figure 15Q, a further rotation of contacts 1540-a and 1540-b initiates generation of the fourth tactile output to indicate that the map will cease to he aligned with the second orientation (e.g., transit north). In some embodiments, the fourth tactile output is distinct from the first tactile output. In some embodiments, the fourth tactile output is distinct from the second tactile output, in some embodiments, the fourth tactile output is distinct from the third tactile output. In some embodiments, the fourth tactile output is the same as the second tactile output. In some embodiments, the fourth tactile output is the same as the third tactile output.

[00458] in some embodiments, the device generates tactile outputs when the map snaps into the first orientation and/or the second orientation, but the device forgoes generating tactile outputs when the map starts to move away from the first orientation and/or the second orientation. For example., the device generates the first tactile feedback and/or the second tactile feedback, but the device forgoes generating the third tactile feedback and/or the fourth tactile feedback to avoid providing too much tactile feedback to the user.

[00459] In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the displayed map corresponds to a first city tor county, municipality, borough, metro region, map region, etc.), the electronic device selects (1624) an orientation associated ’with the first city (or county, municipality, borough, metro region, map region, etc.) as the second orientation (e.g., a transit system orientation of San Francisco Peninsula, Figures 15A--15K, which deviates from true north by approximately 39 degrees west). In accordance with a determination that the displayed map corresponds to a second city (or county, municipality, borough, metro region, map region, etc.) that is distinct from the first city, the electronic device selects an orientation associated with the second city as the second orientation (e.g., a transit system orientation of Manhattan, which deviates from true north by approximately 29 degrees east). The orientation associated with the first city is typically distinct from the orientation associated wdth the second city. Thus, if the map is snapped to “transit north’ over a first city and then is moved laterally (without rotating) to a second city, the map can be rotated again to snap to the transit north of the second city.

130

In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the displayed map does not correspond to any city (or county, municipality, borough, metro region, map region, etc.), the device forgoes generation of the second tactile output (e.g., because a second orientation is not selected). In some embodiments, in accordance with a determination that the displayed map corresponds to multiple separate cities (or counties, municipalities, boroughs, metro regions, map regions, etc.), the device forgoes generation of the second tactile output (e.g,, because orientations of the multiple separate cities may not be the same). For example, when the displayed map displays a large portion of the United States, or the entire United States, in some embodiments, the device forgoes generation of the second tactile output, [00461] It should be understood that the particular order in which the operations in Figures 16A-16B have been described is merely exemplary and is not intended to indicate that the described order is the only order in which the operations could be performed.
